+{"article": "(CNN)James Best, best known for his portrayal of bumbling sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on TV's \"The Dukes of Hazzard,\" died Monday after a brief illness. He was 88. Best died in hospice in Hickory, North Carolina, of complications from pneumonia, said Steve Latshaw, a longtime friend and Hollywood colleague. Although he'd been a busy actor for decades in theater and in Hollywood, Best didn't become famous until 1979, when \"The Dukes of Hazzard's\" cornpone charms began beaming into millions of American homes almost every Friday night. For seven seasons, Best's Rosco P. Coltrane chased the moonshine-running Duke boys back and forth across the back roads of fictitious Hazzard County, Georgia, although his \"hot pursuit\" usually ended with him crashing his patrol car. Although Rosco was slow-witted and corrupt, Best gave him a childlike enthusiasm that got laughs and made him endearing. His character became known for his distinctive \"kew-kew-kew\" chuckle and for goofy catchphrases such as \"cuff 'em and stuff 'em!\" upon making an arrest. Among the most popular shows on TV in the early '80s, \"The Dukes of Hazzard\" ran until 1985 and spawned TV movies, an animated series and video games. Several of Best's \"Hazzard\" co-stars paid tribute to the late actor on social media. \"I laughed and learned more from Jimmie in one hour than from anyone else in a whole year,\" co-star John Schneider, who played Bo Duke, said on Twitter. \"Give Uncle Jesse my love when you see him dear friend.\" \"Jimmy Best was the most constantly creative person I have ever known,\" said Ben Jones, who played mechanic Cooter on the show, in a Facebook post. \"Every minute of his long life was spent acting, writing, producing, painting, teaching, fishing, or involved in another of his life's many passions.\" Born Jewel Guy on July 26, 1926, in Powderly, Kentucky, Best was orphaned at 3 and adopted by Armen and Essa Best, who renamed him James and raised him in rural Indiana. Best served in the Army during World War II before launching his acting career. In the 1950s and 1960s, he accumulated scores of credits, playing a range of colorful supporting characters in such TV shows as \"The Twilight Zone,\" \"Bonanza,\" \"The Andy Griffith Show\" and \"Gunsmoke.\" He later appeared in a handful of Burt Reynolds' movies, including \"Hooper\" and \"The End.\" But Best will always be best known for his \"Hazzard\" role, which lives on in reruns. \"Jimmie was my teacher, mentor, close friend and collaborator for 26 years,\" Latshaw said. \"I directed two of his feature films, including the recent 'Return of the Killer Shrews,' a sequel he co-wrote and was quite proud of as he had made the first one more than 50 years earlier.\" People we've lost in 2015 .

He was released after posting $2 million bond and surrendering his passport. Zelin said that his next move is to get Dr. Moshetto back to work. \"He's got patients to see. This man, while he was in a detention cell, the only thing that he cared about were his patients. And amazingly, his patients were flooding the office with calls, making sure that he was OK,\" Zelin said. Two other men -- identified as James Chmela, 43, and James Kalamaras, 41 -- were named as accomplices, according to prosecutors. They pleaded not guilty in Nassau County District Court, according to authorities. Both were released on bail. A requests for comment from an attorney representing Chmela was not returned. It's unclear whether Kalamaras has retained an attorney. Police officers allegedly discovered approximately 100 weapons at Moschetto's home, including hand grenades, high-capacity magazines and knives. Many of the weapons were found in a hidden room behind a switch-activated bookshelf, according to prosecutors. The investigation began back in December, when undercover officers began buying heroin and oxycodone pills from Moschetto in what was initially a routine investigation into the sale of prescription drugs, officials said. During the course of the undercover operation, however, Moschetto also sold the officers two semiautomatic assault weapons as well as ammunition, prosecutors said. Moschetto allegedly told officers during one buy that he needed dynamite to \"blow up a building.\" He later said he no longer needed the dynamite because a friend was setting fire to the building instead. Kalamaras and Chmela are believed to have taken part in the arson, according to prosecutors. \"The fire damaged but did not destroy the office of another cardiologist whose relationship with Dr. Moschetto had soured due to a professional dispute,\" according to the statement from the district attorney's office. Moschetto allegedly gave an informant and undercover detective blank prescriptions and cash for the assault and killing of the fellow cardiologist, according to prosecutors. He also requested that the rival's wife be assaulted if she happened to be present, authorities said. \"He was willing to pay $5,000 to have him beaten and put in a hospital for a few months, and then he said he would pay $20,000 to have him killed,\" said Assistant District Attorney Anne Donnelly, according to CNN affiliate WCBS.", "summary": "A lawyer for Dr. Anthony Moschetto says the charges against him are baseless .

+{"article": "(CNN)President Barack Obama took part in a roundtable discussion this week on climate change, refocusing on the issue from a public health vantage point. After the event at Washington's Howard University on Tuesday, Obama sat down with me for a one-on-one interview. I asked him about the science behind climate change and public health and the message he wants the average American to take away, as well as how enforceable his action plan is. Here are five things I learned: . The President enrolled at Occidental College in Los Angeles in 1979 (he transferred to Columbia University his junior year). While in L.A., he said, the air was so bad that it prevented him from running outside. He remembers the air quality alerts and how people with respiratory problems had to stay inside. He credits the Clean Air Act with making Americans \"a lot\" healthier, in addition to being able to \"see the mountains in the background because they aren't covered in smog.\" Obama also said the instances of asthma and other respiratory diseases went down after these measures were taken. Peer-reviewed Environmental Protection Agency studies say that the Clean Air Act and subsequent amendments have reduced early deaths associated with exposure to ambient fine particle pollution and ozone, and reduced illnesses such as chronic bronchitis and acute myocardial infarction. The EPA estimates that, between 1970 and 2010, the act and its amendments prevented 365,000 early deaths from particulate matter alone. \"No challenge poses more of a public threat than climate change,\" the President told me. When I asked about the strength of the science supporting the direct relationship between climate change and public health, he said, \"We know as temperatures rise, insect-borne diseases potentially start shifting up. We know, in a very straight-forward fashion, that heatstroke and other heat-related illnesses and deaths potentially increase, and so what we're doing here is to make sure that in addition to public awareness around the potential for big storms like Hurricane Sandy or big wildfires or droughts, that people recognize there's a very personal, potential impact in climate change, and the good news is we can do something about it.\" In many ways, Obama is attempting to reframe the discussion around climate change as a public health issue that affects all of us, while conceding that we don't fully understand the magnitude of the correlation between rising temperatures and impact on human health. When asked what the average American can do about all this, the President encouraged ordinary citizens, doctors and nurses to start putting some pressure on elected officials \"to try and make something happen to reduce the impacts of climate change.\" He also issued a presidential proclamation declaring April 6-12 as National Public Health Week \"to better understand, communicate and reduce the health impacts of climate change on our communities.\" The average American can also do their part to reduce their own carbon footprint, including: . \u2022 Change your incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent lights.

A clip of the video, which features a gay couple holding hands, got the 18+ rating from the independent TV Rain channel in Russia on Monday. The channel told CNN that it didn't want to break the controversial law, which bans \"propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations around minors\" and bars public discussion of gay rights and relationships within earshot of children. \"There are no legal precedents for this law, so we just don't know what comes under this law and (what) doesn't,\" a TV Rain spokesperson told CNN. \"Therefore, fearing to break the law -- especially given the high attention to TV Rain from the supervising authorities -- we decided to put a marker (on the video).\" Clinton's video was released over the weekend to announce the start of her 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. It features about five seconds of two men holding hands. One of the men says, \"I'm getting married this summer to someone I really care about.\" The former senator and first lady first declared her support for same-sex marriage in early 2013, saying that \"gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights.\" Russia's controversial law caused an international outcry after it was passed by the Russian Parliament and signed by President Vladimir Putin in July 2013. Human Rights Watch described the anti-gay propaganda law as \"a profoundly discriminatory and dangerous bill that is bound to worsen homophobia in Russia.\" Rights campaigners called for a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, and a number of bars around the world stopped serving Russian vodka in protest. U.S. President Barack Obama -- Clinton's former boss -- said at the time that he found the legislation offensive. \"I have no patience for countries that try to treat gays or lesbians or transgendered persons in ways that intimidate them or harmful to them,\" Obama told Jay Leno in 2013. Putin defended the law, noting that unlike other countries, Russia decriminalized homosexual relationships (in 1993). \"We don't outlaw anything and don't nab anyone,\" he said before the 2014 Games. \"That's why you can feel safe and free here,\" he added, \"but please leave our children in peace.\" The rights group ILGA-Europe said in a May 2014 report that Russia was the worst place in Europe (out of 49 countries) for LGBTI people to live.

+{"article": "(CNN)Marco Rubio is all in. The Republican senator from Florida has announced that he is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, running on an optimistic message that he embodies the promise of the American Dream. With his youthful energy and Hispanic roots, it's tempting to see Rubio as the new blood that the GOP needs in order to compete against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Yet Rubio has been his own worst enemy on what could have been his two signature issues: immigration reform and Cuba relations. He holds little appeal to Latino voters. And unless he can offer new ideas, his climb to the Republican nomination will be steep. Back in 2013, Rubio was a member of the Senate \"Gang of 8\" that crafted a bipartisan proposal for comprehensive reform, including a path to citizenship for the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. He later distanced himself from the bill after it ran into resistance from House Republicans, and now says he favors a piecemeal approach, starting with securing the border. His retreat on immigration means that Rubio has missed an opportunity to set himself apart from most of the presumptive Republican presidential candidates. That's a shame, for this issue was supposed to be his calling card to Latino voters. Instead, Rubio has embraced a typical conservative approach to immigration. He believes that President Obama's Deferred Action program, offering deportation relief to young immigrants, should be ended. He has stated that the President's executive action on immigration, on hold pending a circuit court review, sets a \"horrifying precedent.\" Meanwhile, both the Deferred Action program and President Obama's executive action on immigration are overwhelmingly favored by Hispanics. No wonder the research firm Latino Decisions reports that, \"We find no evidence that Rubio's candidacy will draw significant Latino support for his candidacy or for his party more generally.\" So, if Rubio is counting on his ethnicity and personal history as the son of immigrants to win over fellow Hispanics, he is mistaken. At a private breakfast Monday for supporters, Rubio described running against \"one candidate in the race who's from yesterday, and one who wants to take us back to yesterday.\" But when it comes to Cuba policy, Rubio himself seems firmly stuck in the past. Over the weekend, he called the recent thaw in relations between the two countries ridiculous. He has warned that Cuba is taking advantage of the United States. Here, he is an increasingly lonely voice. Most Americans support better relations with Cuba, as do a majority of Cuban-Americans. By clinging to the notion that isolating Cuba is better than engaging with the communist country, Rubio has marginalized himself on an issue where he could have provided insight and leadership. Immigration and Cuba policy aside, Rubio's political philosophy will be a tough sell to Hispanics. He is a fierce opponent of \"Obamacare\" and wants the law repealed. However, the Affordable Care Act has led to a 12.3% drop in the Hispanic uninsured rate, making Latinos the demographic with the largest gain in insurance, thanks to the law.

Flight 448 can you please tell somebody (to) stop it.\" The frantic 911 call came just as the Alaska Airlines flight had taken off from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Monday afternoon. The caller was a ramp agent who fell asleep in the plane's cargo hold. The cell phone call soon broke up, but the man was making himself known in other ways as the crew and passengers reported unusual banging from the belly of the Boeing 737. The pilot radioed air traffic control and said he would make an emergency landing. \"There could be a person in there so we're going to come back around,\" he told air traffic control.

+{"article": "(CNN)Mullah Mohammed Omar is \"still the leader\" of the Taliban's self-declared Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. That appears to be the primary message of a biography, just published by the Taliban, of the reclusive militant who is credited with founding the group in the early 1990s. The Taliban's \"Cultural Commission\" released the 11-page document in several different translations on the movement's website, ostensibly to commemorate the 19th anniversary of an April 4, 1996, meeting in Afghanistan's Kandahar province when an assembly of Afghans swore allegiance to Omar. Several Afghan observers say the biography is aimed at dispelling rumors of Omar's demise. \"There have been a lot of rumors lately about him. Some people are saying that he is not alive,\" said Sayyed Muhammad Akbar Agha, a former Taliban insider who has written an autobiography about his days with the movement. \"I think the Taliban thought it was an important time to release his biography to give assurances that he is alive and present,\" Agha told CNN in a telephone interview.

The biography also appears to be an attempt to remind the world of the Afghan's jihadi leadership credentials, at a time when ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has declared himself \"caliph\" of the world's Muslims. \"The Taliban has a huge leadership problem at a critical political moment,\" said Graeme Smith, a Kabul-based analyst for the International Crisis Group. \"Another caliph has announced himself to the world, and the Taliban has been silent. And that is getting noticed by militants across South Asia.\" Omar was famously camera-shy during the Taliban's six-year rule over most of Afghanistan. To this day, there are only a handful of photographs of the one-eyed leader. \"He never was actively involved in any of these propaganda campaigns. No publicity. No interviews. He never used the Internet,\" said Rahimullah Yusufzai, a Pakistani journalist and expert on Afghanistan who once interviewed Osama bin Laden. Omar then all but disappeared after a U.S.-led bombing campaign routed the Taliban from Kabul in 2001. Washington has offered a $10 million reward for his capture. The Taliban have released written statements purportedly made by the leader-in-hiding. But years without any video or audio recordings of the fugitive have led to growing speculation that Omar may have died. The biography challenges rumors of Omar's death by offering a description of his daily work schedule, which begins with prayers, study of the Quran, and then delivering \"orders in a specific way to his Jihadi commanders.\" The publication also seeks to fill in some of the gaps about the militant's early years, including the detail that his \"preferred weapon of choice\" was the RPG-7, a rocket-propelled grenade. According to the biography, Omar was born in 1960 in a village called Chah-i-Himmat in Afghanistan's Kandahar province.

+{"article": "(CNN)Ever had a headache so big, you felt like drilling a hole in your head to let the pain out? In Neolithic times trepanation -- or drilling a hole into the skull -- was thought to be a cure for everything from epilepsy to migraines. It could even have been a form of emergency surgery for battle wounds. But while there is still conjecture about the real reasons behind the mysterious procedure, what is known is that the implement often used to carry out the primitive surgery was made from one of the sharpest substances found in nature -- obsidian. Obsidian -- a type of volcanic glass -- can produce cutting edges many times finer than even the best steel scalpels. At 30 angstroms -- a unit of measurement equal to one hundred millionth of a centimeter -- an obsidian scalpel can rival diamond in the fineness of its edge. When you consider that most household razor blades are 300-600 angstroms, obsidian can still cut it with the sharpest materials nano-technology can produce. Even today, a small number of surgeons are using an ancient technology to carry out fine incisions that they say heal with minimal scarring. Dr. Lee Green, professor and chair of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta, says he routinely uses obsidian blades. \"The biggest advantage with obsidian is that it is the sharpest edge there is, it causes very little trauma to tissue, it heals faster and more importantly it heals with less scarring,\" he said. \"It makes for the best cosmetic outcome.\" He explained that steel scalpels at a microscopic level have a rough cutting edge that tears into tissue, a function of the crystals that make up the metal. Obsidian, meanwhile, cleaves into a fine and continuous edge when properly cut. Dr. Green said he once helped documentary makers produce a program on surgical technology in ancient Egyptian, setting up a blind test on the cutting power of obsidian. Using cultured-skin burn dressing, a substance composed of skin cells, he made an incision with a modern scalpel and a parallel incision with an obsidian scalpel. The host of the program was then invited to look at the cuts under a video microscope and tell the difference. \"It wasn't hard to tell the difference at all -- as soon as he turned around everyone in the studio was like 'Ohhh',\" Dr. Green said. \"Under the microscope you could see the obsidian scalpel had divided individual cells in half, and next to it the steel scalpel incision looked like it had been made by a chainsaw.\" Modern obsidian scalpels look nothing like the decorative flint-knapped knives of Neolithic man, often resembling their modern counterparts in everything except for the blade edge, but Dr. Green said they are a very different animal. \"The feel is very different because obsidian has no 'bite,'\" he said. \"If you look under the microscope at a steel scalpel edge it looks almost like a saw, it has teeth, whereas obsidian is smooth even microscopically. \"It's a very different feel", "summary": "Obsidian can produce cutting edges many times finer than even the best steel scalpels .

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)Nearly 6 in 10 Americans say that businesses that provide wedding-related services should be required to provide those services to same-sex couples in the same way they would all other customers, even if they have religious objections. A new CNN/ORC poll finds 57% feel businesses such as caterers or florists should be required to serve gay or lesbian couples just as they would heterosexual couples, while 41% say they should be allowed to refuse service for religious reasons. That's a shift from a Pew Research Center poll conducted last fall, which found just 49% thought businesses ought to be required to serve same-sex couples while 47% that they should be allowed to refuse service on religious grounds. Since the Pew poll last fall, Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, signed into law in late March by Republican governor Mike Pence, sparked a nationwide controversy over whether the law allowed wedding-related businesses to refuse service to gay and lesbian couples. Apple, Walmart and the NCAA all spoke out against the law, while some states and cities with Democratic leaders barred spending public money in Indiana. Pence and other Indiana legislators insisted discrimination was not the law's intent and a bill to change the original law was signed in early April. In the CNN/ORC Poll, most Democrats (70%) and independents (60%) say wedding-related businesses should be required to provide services to same-sex couples as they would different-sex couples, while Republicans break broadly the other way, 67% say religious reasons are a valid justification for refusing service. Full poll results . Looking at Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party, 60% in that group say wedding-related businesses should be allowed to refuse services to same-sex couples, but there are sharp divides within that group by age and ideology. Moderate and liberal Republicans and Republican-leaners broadly say wedding-related businesses should be required to serve all couples the same way (58%) while three-quarters of conservative Republicans favor allowing a caterer or florist to refuse service for religious reasons (74%). Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents under age 50, 56% say wedding-related businesses should be required to serve same-sex and different-sex couples the same way while among those age 50 or older, 72% think they should not be required to do so.

Age differences hold across party lines, but the generation gap among Republicans and Republican-leaners is larger than that among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. Overall, white evangelicals are broadly in favor of allowing businesses to refuse service for religious reasons - 62% say they should be able to. But among whites who are not evangelicals, 61% say such businesses should be required to provide services to all couples the same way. The shift from the Pew Center results comes across demographic lines. Men, women, whites, younger adults and senior citizens all are more apt than in the Pew poll to say wedding-related business should be required to serve same-sex couples as they do others.

+{"article": "(CNN)James Holmes made his introduction to the world in a Colorado cinema filled with spectators watching a midnight showing of the new Batman movie, \"The Dark Knight Rises,\" in June 2012. The moment became one of the deadliest shootings in U.S. history. Holmes is accused of opening fire on the crowd, killing 12 people and injuring or maiming 70 others in Aurora, a suburb of Denver. Holmes appeared like a comic book character: He resembled the Joker, with red-orange hair, similar to the late actor Heath Ledger's portrayal of the villain in an earlier Batman movie, authorities said. But Holmes was hardly a cartoon. Authorities said he wore body armor and carried several guns, including an AR-15 rifle, with lots of ammo. He also wore a gas mask. Holmes says he was insane at the time of the shootings, and that is his legal defense and court plea: not guilty by reason of insanity. Prosecutors aren't swayed and will seek the death penalty. Opening statements in his trial are scheduled to begin Monday. Holmes admits to the shootings but says he was suffering \"a psychotic episode\" at the time, according to court papers filed in July 2013 by the state public defenders, Daniel King and Tamara A. Brady. Evidence \"revealed thus far in the case supports the defense's position that Mr. Holmes suffers from a severe mental illness and was in the throes of a psychotic episode when he committed the acts that resulted in the tragic loss of life and injuries sustained by moviegoers on July 20, 2012,\" the public defenders wrote. Holmes no longer looks like a dazed Joker, as he did in his first appearance before a judge in 2012. He appeared dramatically different in January when jury selection began for his trial: 9,000 potential jurors were summoned for duty, described as one of the nation's largest jury calls. Holmes now has a cleaner look, with a mustache, button-down shirt and khaki pants. In January, he had a beard and eyeglasses. If this new image sounds like one of an academician, it may be because Holmes, now 27, once was one. Just before the shooting, Holmes was a doctoral student in neuroscience, and he was studying how the brain works, with his schooling funded by a U.S. government grant. Yet for all his learning, Holmes apparently lacked the capacity to command his own mind, according to the case against him. A jury will ultimately decide Holmes' fate. That panel is made up of 12 jurors and 12 alternates. They are 19 women and five men, and almost all are white and middle-aged. The trial could last until autumn. When jury summonses were issued in January, each potential juror stood a 0.2% chance of being selected, District Attorney George Brauchler told the final jury this month. He described the approaching trial as \"four to five months of a horrible roller coaster through the worst haunted house you can imagine.\" The jury will have to render verdicts on each of the 165 counts against Holmes, including murder and attempted murder charges.", "summary": "Opening statements are scheduled Monday in the trial of James Holmes .

Those are the startling numbers that indicate the scale of the devastation from the huge earthquake that struck the Himalayan nation on Saturday. And some of the grim figures are likely to get even worse as hopes of rescuing any more survivors diminish every hour. Heartbreaking scenes of suffering and loss are playing out across this shell-shocked nation as it reels from its deadliest natural disaster in more than 80 years. As the country coped with the fallout of the quake, another natural disaster struck Tuesday afternoon in a popular trekking area north of Kathmandu, and up to 200 people were feared missing as a result of a landslide, a trekking association official said. It happened around 4 p.m. in Langtang National Park, said Ramesh Dhamala, president of the Trekking Agents of Nepal. Laxmi Dhakal, spokesman for Nepal's Home Ministry, said he was aware of reports about the landslide but wasn't immediately able to confirm details. Quake relief efforts continued Tuesday, but officials warned that they were hampered by problems of getting aid into the country and then delivering it to some of the remote communities in desperate need. In Kathmandu, a capital city of shattered temples and toppled houses, some people paid their last respects to loved ones taken by the quake. By the Bagmati River, which winds through the city, more than a dozen funeral pyres burned Monday. As workers stoked the flames for the Hindu cremation ceremonies, some mourners shaved their heads in a traditional show of mourning from children who lose their parents. Alongside their father, two teenage brothers from the Gurung family, Ishan and Iman, said goodbye to their mother, Ishara. \"We never imagined this would happen to us. This much pain,\" said Ishan, the elder of the two. Elsewhere in the city, many shaken residents are sleeping in the open. Some have lost their homes, others are afraid to stay in buildings that may be vulnerable to aftershocks. Large encampments of tents have sprung up in open areas, including a wide space belonging to the military in the center of the city that is typically used for parades. One of the grand gates to the field is now just a pile of rubble. Kisnor Raj Giri, a 22-year-old man from Kathmandu who lost members of his extended family in the quake, said he was too scared to return home. He is camping out at the military grounds with thousands of others even though frequent rain has made the nights an ordeal. \"Many people are crying, sharing their hardships,\" he told CNN on Monday evening.

+{"article": "(CNN)By now, you probably have a position regarding the controversy over Indiana's religious freedom law. You applaud the growing chorus of companies blasting the law as an invitation for businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians, using religion as a cover. Or, like Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, you are surprised at the backlash and maintain that it is basically a copy of a law that is already in the books at the federal level and 19 other states. The issue drives a wedge because, well, the debate over religious freedom and gay rights is always heated, but also because the interpretations and motives behind the law can be questioned. Whichever side you're on, here are five things you might not have considered when thinking about this controversy. These points might not change your mind, but offer context to better understand the uproar. As the author of the 1993 federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), Sen. Chuck Schumer is one who can offer clarity over the controversy surrounding Indiana's version of the law. Schumer mocks Indiana's contention that the state law is simply a mirror of the 22-year-old federal law. \"That may be true only if you're using a Funhouse mirror,\" Schumer wrote on his Facebook page. The federal law was intended to protect individual's religious freedom from government intervention, he said. The Indiana law justifies discrimination in the name of religious freedom, he contends. Also, the law was envisioned to protect the religious freedoms of individuals, while the Indiana law also protects private companies, Schumer said. So, how can the law's supporters claim it is basically a copy of the federal law? If you look at the purpose of the law, the language in the federal and Indiana religious freedom laws are indeed nearly indistinguishable. In short -- the government cannot interfere with a person's religious practices unless there is a compelling government interest to do so. The uproar is over that fact that the Indiana law expands the reach of the religious protections to include private companies and cases where the government is not involved. Other states previously passed their own version of the religious freedom law -- Indiana became the 20th. But other state laws mirror the federal law much more closely than the Indiana law does. The key difference in the Indiana law is that it expands the instances where someone can use religious freedom as a defense. This is how it could make a difference: . In 2006, Vanessa Willock contacted a photographer about shooting her commitment ceremony with her partner. This was in New Mexico, a state with a religious freedom law at the time of the dispute. The company, Elane Photography, refused the job because of the co-owner's religious beliefs. Willock sued Elane Photography for discrimination, and the company defended itself by citing the law.

The media outlet, CNN affiliate BFMTV, is accused of endangering the lives of the hostages, who were hiding in a cold room during the attack, by broadcasting their location live during the siege. BFM in a statement Friday said one of its journalists \"mentioned only once the presence of a woman hidden inside the Hyper Cacher, on the basis of police sources on the ground.\" \"Immediately, the chief editor felt that this information should not be released.

An overflow crowd gathered on a humid and occasionally rainy April afternoon at W.O.R.D. Ministries Christian Center in Summerville, which has a capacity of about 300 people. The flag-draped casket of the U.S. Coast Guard veteran was wheeled inside the church as Scott's relatives and friends followed. Some dabbed tears; others embraced. Hundreds, including local officials, assembled inside the packed sanctuary -- in corridors, under an awning at the entrance, wherever they could stand. Silence filled the vast space as Scott's daughter Samantha read a poem of love dedicated to her father. Anthony Scott said God had selected his brother as a candidate for change in America. \"The change will come,\" he said, bringing to the crowd to its feet. The head of the church, George Hamilton, spoke of how Scott had brought members of his family to the church, of the agony of not only losing a family member but having to watch it happen on video. The death of Scott, who was black, at the hands of a white police officer was \"motivated by racial prejudice,\" Hamilton said. It was \"an act of overt racism.\" \"Hate came because Walter was an African-American,\" he said. Hamilton said his remarks were not meant as an indictment of law enforcement, but he singled out the officer who killed Scott as a \"disgrace to the North Charleston Police Department.\" \"There is gong to be change,\" he said. \"Walter's death will not be in vain.\" After the service, pallbearers gently lifted Scott's casket into the hearse. Crowds poured from the church. A slow-moving procession of black cars then made its way to Live Oak Memorial Gardens in Charleston for the private burial.

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)Until recently, if you sat in church on Sunday mornings, pollsters could predict where you stood on same-sex marriage. What a difference a decade makes. In 2003, when the Massachusetts Supreme Court became the country's first to legalize same-sex marriage, less than 30% of religiously affiliated Americans supported gays' and lesbians' right to wed. By 2014, that number had climbed to 47%, according to a survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute. That's more than the 45% who said they opposed same-sex nuptials. The margin is small but statistically significant, said Robert P. Jones, CEO of PRRI, because of the exceptionally large pool of respondents: 40,000 adult Americans. (Eight percent refused to answer or said they didn't know their stance on same-sex marriage.) According to PRRI's poll, there are now more people of faith who favor marriage equality than stand against it, a dramatic turn in one of this country's most divisive debates and a generational shift with the potential to sweep through everything from the wedding industry to the 2016 presidential race. \"There's been a huge swing in the last decade,\" said Jones. \"There are now big, mainstream groups on both sides of the debate.\" If the U.S. Supreme Court has been paying attention, it likely saw this trend coming. Each time the high court has considered a case related to same-sex marriage, the pile of amicus briefs from religious groups supporting gay rights has inched a little taller, and the crowds protesting outside their grand marble steps has gradually grown more diverse. On Tuesday, for example, as the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Obergefell v. Hodges, a case widely expected to produce a landmark ruling on same-sex marriage, an interfaith coalition of clergy led by the dean of Washington's National Cathedral is planning to march in support of LGBT rights. \"I join with many across the spectrum of American faith communities in my hope that the Court's ruling will permit same-sex marriage in all 50 states,\" the Very Rev. Gary Hall, the cathedral's dean, said in a statement. \"I trust that their judgment will end discrimination against those who seek God's blessing on their marriages.\" Clergy from Hall's religious denomination, the Episcopal Church, have also submitted an amicus brief in support of same-sex marriage. The brief is endorsed by nearly 2,000 faith leaders, including rabbis, Methodist ministers, Lutheran bishops, seminary professors and Congregationalist chaplains. Another brief, submitted by the Anti-Defamation League, is signed by Jewish, Hindu and Presbyterian groups. In a reverse of traditional arguments against gay marriage, some members of these groups say their religious rights will be curtailed if states do not allow them to perform same-sex nuptials. Prominent and powerful religious groups are lined up on the other side as well, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, National Association of Evangelicals, Southern Baptist Convention, Assemblies of God and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon church.

And they reportedly got away with hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of gems and cash -- even, in the educated guess of one former police official, as much as 200 million pounds, or $300 million. Police were offering few details Wednesday of the robbery at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd. Detectives on the scene were carrying out a \"slow and painstaking\" forensic examination, police said in a statement. \"Officers anticipate the process to take approximately two days,\" the statement said. \"At this stage it is believed that approximately 60-70 safe deposit boxes were opened during the burglary. Officers are working closely with Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd to establish the identities of those affected. Police will be contacting victims directly as and when they are identified.\" WATCH: Top five jewelry heists . Throughout the day Wednesday, customers of the business went in and out of the premises, clearly unhappy about not being able to learn whether their boxes were among those ransacked. Hatton Garden is a storied area in London and the heart of the city's diamond trade. The area's promotional website says it is home to \"the largest and most concentrated cluster of jewellery retailers in the UK\" and has been for quite some time. \"History tells us that the old City of London had certain streets -- or quarters -- dedicated to specific types of business,\" the website says. \"The Hatton Garden area has been the epicentre of London's jewellery trade since medieval times. \"Today, it maintains its international reputation as the centre of London's diamond trade. It is one of the finest and most renowned jewellery locations in the world.\" $4.8M in gold swiped from N.C. highway. But how? The police statement did not put a value on the amount of the haul. But numerous British news organizations put the figure in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, which translates into even more hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many of those who rent safe deposit boxes at the company are reportedly in the jewelry trade. But Roy Ramm, a former chief of the Flying Squad, an economic crime unit of London's Metropolitan Police Service, came up with a much higher guess. \"I would not be surprised, given where this one is, in Hatton Garden, if 200 million pounds is around about the amount stolen,\" Ramm said on BBC Radio 4. Because of the long Easter weekend, police did not hear of the robbery until Tuesday morning.

Saudi Arabia had launched airstrikes on Houthi positions across Yemen, hoping to wipe out the Iranian-allied rebel group that has overthrown the government and seized power. The Saudis say they want to restore the Yemeni government, a key U.S. ally in the fight against al Qaeda, which was kicked out of the capital by the rebels earlier this year. This month, Saudi officials said airstrikes have degraded Houthi-controlled military infrastructure, including key buildings in the capital Sanaa. The campaign achieved its objectives \"by a very good planning, very precise execution, by the courage of our pilots, our sailors, our soldiers,\" said Brig. Gen. Ahmed Asiri, a Saudi military spokesman. A senior Saudi official told CNN that the Houthis agreed to \"nearly all demands\" of the U.N. Security Council. Former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his family will leave Yemen and never return for a position in politics, the source said. A statement from the Saudi Embassy in Washington outlined objectives of the next phase of operations, including protecting civilians, enhancing humanitarian and medical assistance, confronting terrorism and creating an international coalition to provide maritime security. Ground troops will continue to protect the border and confront any attempts to destabilize the situation, Asiri said. Military action will be taken if needed. But beyond the military campaign, the Saudis and their allies have said they want to find a political solution for the violence-plagued nation. The aim is to bring back Yemen's \"security and stability through establishing a political process,\" said a statement from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. Ousted Yemen President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi thanked the Saudi-led coalition. Hadi claims he's Yemen's legitimate leader and is working with the Saudis and other allies to return to his country. \"We promise to restructure the Yemen military to ensure that it serves the people of Yemen,\" Hadi said, calling on the Houthis to withdraw, and saying that he would return to Yemen at \"the right time\" to rebuild the country. \"You will witness many changes in the days to come in our mission to build an institutional government and military, far from rebel militancy,\" said Hadi. Also Tuesday, a U.S. military official told CNN that the United States is conducting \"manned reconnaissance\" off Yemen. The official stressed that the repositioning of U.S. ships over the last days was not done to interdict Iranian ships, but to ensure freedom of navigation and maritime security.

We were told he was one of the men running this \"unofficial\" displaced camp -- one of the many that has mushroomed in the town of Yola as the influx of people fleeing Boko Haram has grown beyond the capacity of the official camps. It had all been heartbreakingly simple. We'd asked who had children available to \"foster\" -- a catch-all code word designed to conceal the true intent of those offering up the orphaned children. The man on the phone was the end result of those inquiries. When our colleague want to see them, he was shown a group of children and asked which one he wanted to take. One, two maybe? He escaped by saying he needed to check with his \"madam\" -- me. I called. The man picked up and began referring to me as \"sister.\" I told him we wanted to know what we'd need to do, if we decided we did want to \"foster\" the children. He told me, \"Sister, Jesus will reward me,\" so the \"fostering\" was free, he said. No need for any pesky paperwork -- just a reassurance from me that the children, if I chose to take them, would \"live in my heart.\" If I could also then find it \"in my heart\" to donate to those still in the camp, then that would be \"God's work.\" In spite of the harsh measures the Nigerian government has put in place to punish human traffickers, by the government's own admission, 8 million children are currently engaged in forced labor.

She was a rare breed: stunningly beautiful, immediately accessible, witty, charming and endearingly mischievous -- she was one in a million. Of course that was long before the, \"there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,\" interviews and tell-all books alleging suicide attempts and acts of betrayal, but back then I was unaware of her more scandalous infamy. I simply adored her ... I still do. As the world awaits the impending birth of William and Kate's second baby, potential names have become the topic of rampant speculation and heated debate. Girls' names are causing the biggest stir, as there seems to be a belief that the couple are expecting a princess. If the assumptions are correct, she will be the first Princess of Cambridge born into the royal family in 182 years. The birth of any baby is cause for celebration, but given recent changes in the laws of succession, her arrival would be a historical one. In choosing a name, titled royals tend to turn to the family tree, rather than a well-thumbed copy of \"1,001 Best Baby Names\" like the rest of us. Traditionally they pick dynastic names, and there are plenty to choose from: Elizabeth, Alice, Victoria and Charlotte have all been frontrunners, but the sentimental favorite among punters remains Diana. In a recent Today Show poll, 32% of Americans predicted the name was a shoo-in, and in the UK the bookies' odds of a baby named after her late grandmother change almost daily as Diana becomes an increasingly popular choice. That said, in the event the couple do welcome a baby girl, I would hope that they do not opt to name her Diana. Today Diana's name is as divisive as the very institution of monarchy itself: while some have virtually sainted her, others have been vehemently critical, accusing her of being childish, unhinged and self-serving. Contrary to popular belief the Queen was very fond of Diana, but should her name be bestowed as a first name upon the baby, it would be perceived as a slap in the face to the monarchy. In the years since Earl Spencer's scathing attack on the Windsors at Diana's funeral, the nation has moved on and Diana's legacy has been celebrated. She has become a part of royal history. Her memory has been preserved, and the royal family is once again enjoying a renewed sense of popularity. Out of respect to the Queen, Charles, Camilla and the baby herself the couple simply wouldn't do it.

+{"article": "(CNN)Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, was once known as the murder capital of the world. Back in 2010, at the height of cartel violence, the city averaged 8.5 killings per day. But five years later, local officials say the city is much safer, and plans are underway to lure foreign tourists and investors back to Juarez. This month the city launched the tourism campaign \"Juarez is Waiting for You.\" The rebranding effort started quietly a year ago, and on April 10, it was on full display. Mayor Enrique Serrano officially kicked off the campaign, giving what he called an \"unprecedented\" high-profile tour to regional leaders from the United States and Mexico. U.S. Rep. Robert \"Beto\" O'Rourke of Texas was one of those on a leg of the Juarez tour. His congressional district includes El Paso, Texas, which sits directly across the Rio Grande. O'Rourke says there's good reason for locals to be hopeful. \"As a region, El Paso and Juarez represent 20% of all U.S-Mexico trade. The binational ties are strong and have remained strong,\" O'Rourke says. \"Yes, we had a really difficult time for a ... period. Juarez was at one time the deadliest city in the world.\" O'Rourke speaks of a time between 2009 and 2012 when men, women and children were killed indiscriminately. Many were helplessly caught in the cartel violence. Others were victims of the drug turf war. It wasn't that long ago, O'Rourke says, that he thought twice about crossing the bridge into Juarez. \"(Now) I travel to Juarez regularly to have lunch or meet people or just to go. I always feel safe and secure.\" A spokesman for the Chihuahua state attorney general's office told CNN that at one point, there were days when Juarez had more than 20 killings. \"That was normal,\" spokesman Julio Castaneda told CNN. \"It's safer now.\" The numbers from the attorney general's office seem to bear that out. More than 3,000 people were killed in the city just four years ago, but so far this year there have been 89 killings, according to Castaneda -- a dramatic decrease in the violence. \"Undoubtedly, the work we did here in the past year with the police institutions, and specifically the local police, helped. There was a coordinated effort between agencies,\" Castaneda said. \"Without a doubt this work played a part in breaking apart the gangs that were plaguing the city.\" The government cleaned up corruption within the local police force, and fired or arrested a lot of bad cops who were helping the cartels. Another factor that may have helped: The turf war between the Juarez and Sinaloa cartels essentially ended, with the Sinaloa cartel claiming victory in the battle for the trafficking route in Juarez. O'Rourke argues that the El Paso-Juarez border is \"safer than it's ever been.\" He cites the \"30 million lawful crosses from El Paso into Juarez\" last year as a symbolic step. Yet there are those who don't want to celebrate too soon. \"For Juarez to be considered a safe city, there's a long way to go,\" says Sergio Meza,", "summary": "Cartel violence helped make Juarez the murder capital of the world five years ago .

+{"article": "(CNN)There's an old saying which states the Cape Verde Islands are home to a greater number of musicians per square kilometer than any other country in the world. In truth, such a definitive claim may be nigh on impossible to prove. But there is a certain factual accuracy behind the legend: the important and proud relationship the Atlantic island country of just 500,000 people has with music. Situated roughly 350 miles off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde has long been a mesh of cultures, history and races. The former Portuguese territory was once a key location for the transatlantic slave trade, a target for 16th century pirates and a refuge for exiled Jews. From this diverse melting pot were born the unique sounds of the batuque, morna, funana and other distinct musical styles. Now, Cape Verde is seeking to tap-into the spoils of this rich cultural heritage in a bid to help its economy flourish. Bereft of oil, gas, gold, diamonds or the conventional natural resources that have fueled growth in many other African countries, Cape Verde has had to look for alternative sectors to aid its development. And what's more alternative than a jiving, swinging, musical economy? \"Besides fish, it is pretty common (for Cape Verde) to say 'our biggest richness is in music and culture,'\" said Christine Semba of Womex, an international networking platform for the world music genre. The economic potential of music has been also acknowledged by Cape Verde's prime minister, Jose Maria Neves, while the country's ministry of culture is run by Mario Lucio de Sousa, himself a popular musician. \"The future of our country lies in our capacity to create, our capacity to innovate,\" Neves said in reference to the music and the arts at a World Trade Organization conference in 2013. Other elements of the creative economy include handicrafts, fashion and visual arts to name but a few. However, a 2013 report from the UN Conference on Trade and Development noted that Cape Verde's creative sector remained a relatively small part of its economy with much room for improvement and long term planning. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been some promising early signs that music has the potential to play a key role in the future. One early musical success has been the Kriol Jazz Festival. The event, which is celebrating its seventh edition, took place in the capital city of Praia this past weekend. Artists including Grammy-winning U.S. singer Esperanza Spalding have been invited to perform, as have acts from the likes of Luxembourg, Brazil and, of course, Cape Verde. According to Harold Taveres, a liaison to the mayor of Praia involved with promoting the festival, \"KJF has become one of the most spectacular events in Cape Verde. \"We breathe the music in Cape Verde, we live with the music,\" he added. \"Now the festival has brought people from every corner in the world (to share in this).\" During the festival, bars, hotels and restaurants are full to the brim while taxi drivers are seldom unable to find a fare during", "summary": "Cape Verde seeking to tap-into rich cultural heritage .

The success of that agreement remains to be seen. The parties have until the end to June to work out the details and put the plan to paper. But the talks this week were, nevertheless, historic, particularly for the otherwise frozen U.S.-Iranian relationship. But that's not to say they were glamorous. In fact, the negotiations this week provided a modern demonstration of diplomacy at its best, but also at its most hectic. Tucked amid the Swiss Alps on the shores of Lake Geneva, Lausanne is certainly one of the more scenic places to be trapped for talks -- a sort of Camp David for the rich and famous. But make no mistake: The site of these negotiations is also a gilded cage. Over the course of the eight-day round of talks, negotiators, their delegations, their security details and reporters were confined primarily to the immediate area around the five-star Beau-Rivage Palace Hotel, which played host to the negotiations. This isn't the first time the hotel has provided a backdrop to a major diplomatic event. In 1923, the Treaty of Lausanne was signed there, breaking up the Ottoman Empire and defining the borders of modern-day Turkey. More recently, the hotel has been a getaway for wealthy tourists and the occasional celebrity. Coco Chanel famously lived there in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and even had her dog buried on the hotel grounds, some reports say. 'It was tough, very intense at times' The setting is idyllic, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The first-floor terrace even features a large-scale chess board, which served this week as an artful analogy for the game of nuclear chess going on just inside. For the negotiators, the past week was marked by a marathon run of meetings, sometimes lasting throughout the night. In an interview with CNN shortly after the framework agreement was announced, Secretary of State John Kerry said, \"I think there was a seriousness of purpose\" in meetings with the Iranians. \"People negotiated hard,\" he added. \"It was tough, very intense at times, sometimes emotional and confrontational.\" That sentiment was echoed by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif even as the talks were still going on. Over the past 18 months since talks began, Zarif said, negotiators have \"developed personal respect\" for one another, even though serious mistrust still exists between Iran and the Western powers. \"We have a very serious problem of confidence -- mutual lack of confidence we need to address -- and we hope that this process will remedy some of that,\" he added. Media give-and-take . Zarif made these comments to reporters who swarmed him during an afternoon walk along the lake Thursday.

+{"article": "Marseille, France (CNN)Initial tests on the flight data recorder recovered from downed Germanwings Flight 9525 show that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz purposely used the controls to speed up the plane's descent, according to the French air accident investigation agency, the BEA. The flight data recorder, or \"black box,\" was found Thursday by recovery teams that have spent days since the March 24 crash scouring the mountainside in the French Alps where the plane went down. A statement from the BEA on Friday said its teams had immediately begun to investigate its contents. \"The initial readout shows that the pilot present in the cockpit used the autopilot to put the (airplane) into a descent towards an altitude of 100 (feet) then, on several occasions during the descent, the pilot modified the autopilot setting to increase the speed of the (airplane) in descent,\" it said. \"Work is continuing to establish the precise history of the flight.\" Evidence from the plane's cockpit voice recorder, recovered swiftly after the crash, had already led investigators to believe that Lubitz acted deliberately to bring down the plane, killing all 150 people on board. And prosecutors in Germany said Thursday that an analysis of a tablet device retrieved from the 27-year-old's apartment in Dusseldorf revealed that he had researched suicide methods and cockpit door security on the Internet. The correspondence and search history on the device demonstrated that the co-pilot used it from March 16 to March 23, Dusseldorf prosecutor Christoph Kumpa said. The search history was not deleted and also revealed searches concerning medical treatment, the prosecutor said. Investigators have focused on Lubitz's health as they try to establish his motivation. But the missing \"black box\" was expected to yield important evidence about the plane's final minutes. A female police officer digging by hand for clothes in a ravine that been searched previously found the flight data recorder Thursday afternoon about 8 inches (20 centimeters) below the surface, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin told reporters. Usually white with florescent orange, this discovered recorder lived up to its name as a black box because fire had darkened it with ashes. In addition, out of more than 2,000 DNA samples collected from the crash site, lab workers have isolated 150 DNA profiles, Robin told reporters. \"That does not mean we've identified\" the crash's 150 victims, Robin said -- noting the recovered DNA still must be compared with DNA submitted by the families of those who died in the crash. Authorities have also found 470 personal effects at the site, according to Robin. That number includes 40 cell phones, though all those were badly damaged. Robin cast doubt that any useful information could be retrieved from those phones, given their condition. That view is consistent with French officials' claims Wednesday insisting that two publications, German daily Bild and French Paris Match, were wrong to report that cell phone video showed the harrowing final seconds from on board the flight.

Video from the patrol car of North Charleston's Michael Slager shows an initial traffic stop and early interactions between the officer and Scott. Slager approaches Scott's vehicle. The two men speak. Scott tells the officer he does not have insurance and is in the process of purchasing the vehicle. Slager then returns to his patrol car. Scott exits his vehicle, briefly, and Slager tells him to stay in the car. Scott then gets out of the car, again, and runs away, out of the range of the dash cam. The video, which was released Thursday, also shows a passenger in Scott's car. The passenger's identity was not given in a police report obtained by CNN, but another officer responding to the incident said in the report that the passenger was detained and placed in the back seat of a police vehicle. Scott family attorney Chris Stewart told CNN the man with Scott was a co-worker and friend. He did not identify the friend by name. When asked what might have motivated Scott to run, Justin Bamberg, another attorney for the family, speculated that Scott might have been concerned about child support issues. Scott owed back payments on child support totaling $18,104.43, according to Charleston County family court documents obtained by CNN. He had a bench warrant issued against him for failure to pay at the time he was stopped by Slager.

The North Charleston Police Department is not providing more information, citing an ongoing investigation of Scott's killing that's being conducted by the independent South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). Many questions remain about what happened on Saturday when Officer Slager pulled Scott over for what police have said was a broken taillight. In the police report that CNN obtained, a responding officer said that Slager said that at one point he started to chase Scott down a street. \"Shots fired and the subject is down,\" the officer writes that Slager said. \"He took my Taser.\" But a witness who shot cell phone video of the incident says he never saw Scott try to get Slager's Taser. Feidin Santana was walking to work when he saw Slager and Scott struggle on the ground, he told NBC's Lester Holt on Wednesday. Santana then took out his phone and started recording video. \"I remember the police (officer) had control of the situation. He had control of Scott,\" Santana said. Then, Santana said, he heard the sound of a Taser. It seemed to Santana that Scott was trying to get away and avoid being zapped with the Tasered again.

Last Thursday, Jeff Courcelle came home from work to find 5-year-old Mocha -- a pure bred fawn-colored Doberman pincher -- hovering over a pile of screws, metal pieces, three watch heads and some chewed leather straps. \"My husband, who's the most calm person that I know, called me up and said, 'I'm not quite sure if I should panic,' \" said Courcelle's wife, Michele Parkinson. The 80-pound Doberman, whom her owners describe as \"more goofy than scary,\" had pulled down a basket of wrist wear from a shelf in their bedroom and eaten nearly all the contents. Parkinson knew that Mocha wouldn't be able to pass all that leather on her own. The couple took her to the MSPCA's Angell Animal Medical Center, a 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital, where a veterinarian performed a 3-hour endoscopy to explore the contents of her belly. Mocha was a repeat offender: Just last summer, she got very sick and had to have emergency stomach surgery after a piece of plastic from an orange juice container perforated her intestine. She had 28 staples down her belly and 10 inches of intestine removed, Parkinson said. Fortunately this time, the jewelry remains were still in Mocha's belly and had not made their way into the digestive tract. The X-ray, however, was disturbing. Parkinson and her husband were just expecting to see a couple metal pieces. \"It just looked like a Christmas tree and I almost threw up,\" Parkinson said. The veterinarian removed \"about a pound of leather straps and metal pieces and detritus\" during the endoscopy, and let nature take its course for the remaining pieces, MSPCA spokesman Rob Halpin said. As of Friday, Mocha was no worse for wear. The hospital sees dozens of cases each week of dogs ingesting foreign objects, and is trained to look for the symptoms of blockages -- typically lethargy, not eating and vomiting, Halpin said. They once saw a golden retriever who had stopped eating and found 43 pacifiers in her belly. (Apparently she was taking them from babies at the park.) And there was the 100-pound bull mastiff who ate his owner's brie that was set out for a party -- along with the cheese knife. The night Mocha stayed in the hospital, a nervous Parkinson stayed awake reading stories about dogs ingesting watches and other objects. She found one article about a Newfoundland whose owner knew something was awry only when he heard an alarm go off from his dog's belly. \"We've taken every imaginable thing that could fit down the gullet of a dog out with surgery,\" Halpin said. \"There's some evolutionary traits that some dogs have that lead them to eat first and think later ... and some of them are so food motivated that anything with a scent could be associated with food, and they go for it.\" Mocha likes to suck on fleece blankets and has been known to eat rubber ear buds or", "summary": "A Boston-area dog ate three of her owner's wristwatches .

Why can't I get into the subway?\" asked an elderly woman in a white headscarf with several shopping bags as she stood outside the barricaded entrance to one of Istanbul's busiest subway stations. She was one of millions of Turks left confused and concerned by the worst power outage to grip the country in more than a decade. Dozens of cities across Turkey lost power for hours on Tuesday. Millions of people were affected, including passengers stranded on paralyzed trains and subways. Municipal workers were forced to evacuate Istanbul's Marmaray Tunnel, where the black-out left commuters trapped deep beneath the rushing waters of the Bosphorus Strait. More than 24 hours later, Turkish officials were still at pains to explain the power outage. The energy minister suggested a possible failure in transmission lines. The prime minister did not rule out the possibility of a terror attack. The mysterious collapse of much of the country's energy grid triggered a burst of wild conspiracy theories across social media. Some Twitter users went so far as to suggest the black-outs were a warm up for elections scheduled to take place in June. There is fertile ground for rumor-mongering in Turkey. Over the last five years, security forces have arrested hundreds of army generals, journalists, prosecutors, civil society activists and police commanders and accused them of being members of assorted plots aimed at toppling the government. The government's increasingly heavy-handed repression of public dissent, combined with overt censorship of the media and the internet, have also contributed to a hyper-polarized and deeply mistrustful political atmosphere. Even Turkey's veteran deputy prime minister, Bulent Arinc, recently observed that opposition supporters now look at him \"with hatred\" rather than the grudging respect he enjoyed when his political party first swept to power in elections in 2002. Meanwhile, mysterious black-outs are a sore spot for some Turks, after a surreal 2014 incident on election night -- allegedly involving a feline saboteur. That is -- a cat that allegedly wandered into a power transformer. That was almost exactly a year ago, a smaller series of power outages affected some polling stations during nationwide municipal elections, prompting unsubstantiated accusations of vote rigging. The ruling Justice and Development Party ended up winning by a comfortable margin, but few Turks were reassured by the energy minister's explanation that the voting day black-outs were caused by a cat getting lost. As electricity was just starting to come back on in Istanbul on Tuesday, a second crisis erupted. Websites linked to an extremist leftist militant group known as the DHKP-C began publishing chilling photos of a masked man holding a pistol to the head of a hostage in front of communist flags.

She's the focus of Ines Dumig's photo series \"Apart Together.\" Dumig met Sahra through a photo workshop at Refugio, a shelter in Munich, Germany, for refugees and torture victims. What drew Dumig to Sahra specifically was her strength and her ability to effectively reflect on all of her experiences. \"It really impressed me how she deals with everything,\" Dumig said. \"She's strong in her way of connecting with the culture here and also reflecting on what happened, the culture where she comes from.\" The number of refugees seeking asylum in the European Union increased by 25% last year, with Germany receiving the most applications. One of the reasons Dumig decided to photograph Sahra is because growing up in Germany made Dumig realize that she lived a fortunate lifestyle. Another reason has to do with Dumig's interest in people's emotions and finding one's identity. \"I realized so many people want to come to Europe, and I always had the feeling to disappear or to go away,\" Dumig said. \"Seeing how people live in other parts of the world made me realize how privileged I am.\" \"Apart Together\" serves not only as a documentation of Sahra, but as a far-reaching story about people from all backgrounds.

In a written statement issued last week, Oz said, \"I bring the public information that will help them on their path to be their best selves. We provide multiple points of view, including mine which is offered without conflict of interest. That doesn't sit well with certain agendas which distort the facts. For example, I do not claim that GMO (genetically modified organism) foods are dangerous, but believe that they should be labeled like they are in most countries around the world.

The episode will air on Thursday afternoon in most markets, Friday in others. It all started when a group of 10 physicians from across the country emailed a letter to Columbia University expressing disapproval that Oz is on the faculty. The email sent to Columbia's faculty dean for Health Sciences and Medicine, Dr. Lee Goldman, said the group is \"surprised and dismayed\" that Oz is on faculty and that he holds a senior administrative position. Oz is vice chair of the Department of Surgery, at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. The email was sent by Dr. Henry Miller, a fellow in scientific philosophy and public policy at Stanford University's Hoover Institute. It was signed by nine other physicians from across the country, none of whom is affiliated with Columbia. They accuse Oz of what they call \"manifesting an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain.\" They go on to say Oz has \"either outrageous conflicts of interest or flawed judgments about what constitutes appropriate medical treatments, or both.\" The doctors argue in their emailed letter that Oz shows \"disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, as well as baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops.\" It's worth noting that Miller previously worked at the FDA, at one point reviewing genetically engineered drugs. As an example, they cite an investigation reported on the show in 2011 in which apple juice was presented as having unsafe levels of arsenic.

Parent company Geely Automobile, which bought Volvo in 2010, is seeking to prove that a Chinese company can manage a global auto brand. Geely's gambit will be watched to see if it paves the way for other Chinese car manufacturers to crack developed markets. CEO H\u00e5kan Samuelsson said Volvo planned to sell 1,500 Chinese-made S60 Inscription sedans in 2015 and 5,000 annually in subsequent years. For many U.S. consumers, China is still more closely linked with cheap clothing and electronics than luxury vehicles, but Samuelsson downplayed any concerns about quality. \"We don't highlight where the vehicle is built but we don't keep it a secret. We sell them as Volvos and we know they are exactly the same in quality no matter where they are produced,\" he told CNN. The car will be one of four models produced in a manufacturing plant in Chengdu that opened in 2013. But given that Volvo's brand is staked on its reputation for safety, analysts said the company will have to tread carefully. \"They have a strong enough reputation no matter where they're made. They will have to make sure they don't ruin that perception with any quality issues,\" said Raymond Tsang, a Shanghai-based partner at consultants Bain & Company. China surpassed the U.S. as the largest market for car sales globally in 2009, and most major automakers build cars in China. But until now those cars have been sold almost exclusively in China. Chinese car manufacturers like Geely and its rival Great Wall Motor do export their models to countries in Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. But none have so far dared tackle developed markets like the U.S. and Western Europe. Geely chairman Li Shufu said he hoped the company would eventually become a global car brand, but said there were no current plans to begin export its home-grown brand to U.S. showrooms. \"We have the ambition, yes; determination yes, but I'm also [a] very realistic person,\" he said. Industry analysts say it's unlikely we will see Chinese car makers shake up the U.S. car market in the same way Japanese and South Korean manufacturers did decades earlier, at least in the near future. \"Hyundai and Toyota are now extremely successful but it took them decades to move away from being perceived as lower end and lower quality than U.S. cars,\" said Tsang. \"And now the market is even more competitive, especially for entry level models.\" READ MORE: China wants eyes on cars not models at Shanghai Auto Show .", "summary": "Volvo says it will begin exporting Chinese-built cars to the U.S. in May .

The initial picture released on Tuesday shows a couple of orange-tinged blobs: Pluto and its largest moon, Charon. But the probe will soon be beaming back much sharper images and a wealth of other information about Pluto's remote, unexplored corner of the solar system. \"This is pure exploration; we're going to turn points of light into a planet and a system of moons before your eyes,\" said Alan Stern, New Horizons' principal investigator. Launched in 2006, New Horizons is nearing the crucial point in its epic voyage of more than 3 billion miles. The probe is due to make its closest approach to Pluto on July 14. \"In an unprecedented flyby this July, our knowledge of what the Pluto system is really like will expand exponentially, and I have no doubt there will be exciting discoveries,\" said John Grunsfeld, an astronaut and associate administrator of the NASA Science Mission Directorate. Discovered in 1930, Pluto was once considered to be the smallest planet in the solar system. But scientists have since revised that view because of Pluto's size and location, demoting it to the status of \"dwarf planet\": a planet that's too small to clear other objects out of its way. Pluto is 1,400 miles wide, roughly half the width of the continental United States. At 3.6 billion miles out in the solar system, it's about 40 times as far from the sun as Earth is. By discovering more about Pluto and its moons, New Horizons will shed light on a little-known third zone of the solar system, beyond the rocky planets and the gas giants. The area, known as the Kuiper Belt, contains \"mysterious small planets and planetary building blocks,\" according to NASA. It's known for producing comets, such as Halley's Comet, which orbits the sun about every 75 years. New Horizons will use its array of cameras and other instruments to study Pluto's surface and atmosphere, as well as its moons, which number at least five. It will also be on the lookout for rings and other satellites.

Her case drew national attention after she started carrying a mattress around campus to protest the school's handling of the complaint, saying she hoped to show how \"flawed\" the university disciplinary system is when it comes to sexual misconduct cases. CNN does not usually name individuals in sexual assault cases, but in this instance, both parties have spoken publicly about their experience. They have also both said in separate interviews with The New York Times that Nungesser was cleared of responsibility in a disciplinary hearing. Nungesser, an international student from Germany, filed a federal discrimination lawsuit last week against the school; its president, Lee Bollinger; and the visual arts professor who oversaw Sulkowicz's mattress project, \"Carry That Weight,\" as part of her senior thesis. The lawsuit alleges the defendants violated Nungesser's right to an education free of gender-based discrimination by allowing Sulkowicz to speak out against him after he had been cleared of wrongdoing. During an April 2014 news conference at Columbia University, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand stood alongside Sulkowicz as she called Nungesser a \"serial rapist\" and said she fears for her safety while he's still on campus. The harassment continued, the lawsuit claims, when Columbia visual arts professor Jon Kessler let Sulkowicz \"transform her personal vendetta\" into a \"Columbia-sponsored calumny\" by supporting \"Carry That Weight\" for her senior thesis, allowing her to earn school credit through \"this outrageous display of harassment and defamation.\" Bollinger also commented on the case in a 2014 New York Magazine profile of Sulkowicz, now a senior at Columbia. \"This is a person who is one of my students, and I care about all of my students. And when one of them feels that she has been a victim of mistreatment, I am affected by that.

The school also declined to confirm the outcome of Nungesser's disciplinary proceedings. \"As we have said consistently, we do not and have not commented on individual students or disciplinary cases not only because of federal student privacy law, but also because of our ethical responsibility to ensure all current and future students have confidence that the university will never publicly discuss private matters they share when interacting with counselors and support staff, the campus disciplinary process or other resources we provide to them,\" spokesman Robert Hornsby said in statement.

The young Hernandez was the \"golden boy,\" playing football, basketball and running track, following in the footsteps of his uncle, older brother and father -- all well-known athletes in the community. Hernandez's father constantly pushed his son, requiring him to practice for hours before he could go out with friends. \"I saw a closeness with them that I'd never seen before,\" Montgomery said of the relationship between Hernandez and his father.

At the time, Hernandez's mother told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper, \"I know he was at the club, but he never saw any shooting.\" The case remains open, and no one has been charged.

Japan's nuclear watchdog, the Nuclear Regulation Authority, had previously given a green light to the reopening of reactors 3 and 4 of the Kansai Electric Power Company's Takahama nuclear plant. But locals successfully petitioned the court in Fukui Prefecture, where the plant is located, raising concerns about whether the reactors would survive a strong earthquake. Japan's 48 nuclear reactors are offline in the wake of the Fukushima disaster in 2011, when a tsunami triggered by a massive earthquake sent a wall of water crashing into the power plant. Since then, the island nation has imported greater amounts of expensive natural gas and coal to meet its energy needs. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has pushed for a return to nuclear energy, arguing it is essential to the country's economic recovery to reduce the skyrocketing utility bills associated with energy imports. But opinion polls have consistently shown public opposition to a nuclear restart. Keith Henry, managing director of Tokyo-based Asia Strategy, which advises businesses on Japanese public policy issues, says the decision will force Abe to rethink the economics of his energy policy. \"That was a body blow [for Abe] because it's no longer a political issue, it's a legal issue. It changes the calculus and the dynamics,\" he said. \"It's now in the courts. And the government is powerless to do anything about it.\" READ MORE: Power company abandons robot stranded inside Fukushima plant .

But the court ruled that the new safety standards were \"loose,\" lacked rationality and could not guarantee the safety of the plant, an official said. The power company said it would appeal the decision. \"We deeply regret that our assertion was not well comprehended, and cannot accept it at all,\" it said in a statement.

Arsenal have been in superb form since the start of the year, transforming what looked to be another mediocre season struggling to secure fourth place -- and with it Champions League qualification -- into one where they at least have a shot at winning the title. After going ahead, Arsenal rarely looked in any danger of conceding, showing more of the midfield pragmatism epitomized by the likes of Francis Coquelin, who also played a crucial role in the goal. \"He has been absolutely consistent in the quality of his defensive work,\" Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger told Sky Sports after the game when asked about Coquelin's contribution to Arsenal's current run. They have won eight games in a row since introducing the previously overlooked young Frenchman into a more defensive midfield position. \"He was a player who was with us for seven years, from 17, he's now just 24,\" Wenger explained. \"Sometimes you have to be patient. I am very happy for him because he has shown great mental strength.\" Now all eyes will be on next week's clash between Arsenal and Chelsea which will likely decide the title. \"They have the games in hand,\" said Wenger, playing down his club's title aspirations. \"But we'll keep going and that's why the win was so important for us today.\" Relegation dogfight . Meanwhile it was a good day for teams at the bottom of the league. Aston Villa continued their good form since appointing coach Tim Sherwood with a 1-0 victory over Tottenham, who fired Sherwood last season. Belgian international Christian Benteke scored the only goal of the game, his eighth in six matches, to secure a vital three points to give the Midlands club breathing space. Another Midlands club looking over their shoulder is West Brom, who conceded an injury time goal to lose 3-2 against bottom club Leicester City. But it was an awful day for Sunderland's former Dutch international coach Dick Advocaat, who saw his team lose 4-1 at home against form team Crystal Palace.

In other interviews, Santana has said he feared for his life, which almost kept him from revealing the recording. Santana recalled the moments when he recorded a roughly three-minute video of North Charleston Police officer Michael Slager shooting Walter Scott as Scott was running away Saturday. That evidence led to the officer's firing and arrest on a murder charge. Santana said when he first came on the scene while walking to his job he saw Slager on top of Scott, who was on the ground. He could hear the sound of a Taser in use. At no time did Santana see Scott go after the Taser. He believes Scott was trying to get away. \"Mr. Scott never tried to fight,\" Santana told CNN. Police said Slager used a Taser against Scott, but Slager would also later tell a dispatcher that Scott at some point had grabbed the Taser. After Slager shot Scott five times, the officer went back to pick up something. Santana thinks it was the Taser but said he wasn't 100% sure what it was. Neither the struggle nor the use of a Taser was captured on video, because Santana had yet to begin recording. What we know about Officer Slager . The cell phone video, which Santana revealed this week, reignited national outcries surrounding police treatment of African-Americans and led to a murder charge against Slager, who is white. Scott was black. Police said Slager pulled the 50-year-old Scott over for a nonworking brake light on Saturday morning. Scott, according to a dash cam video, fled from Slager for unexplained reasons, and the officer chased him on foot. When Santana's video begins, Scott starts running away from the officer, with Scott's back to Slager. The video shows Slager shooting at Scott eight times before Scott falls down. Who was Walter Scott? Scott's mother, Judy Scott, told Cooper this week that she would want to thank Santana for coming forward. \"He was there. God planned that.

+{"article": "(CNN)Protests are gaining steam in Baltimore after a man died from a devastating injury he allegedly suffered while in police custody. Demonstrators have vowed they'll keep taking to the streets until they get justice. To start, protesters say they're looking for answers about what happened to Freddie Gray, and why. But it seems like the questions in the controversial case just keep growing. Protesters rallied at Baltimore City Hall on Thursday, and another march is planned for Saturday. Here's a look at key issues protesters are asking about: . Police say when Gray saw police on April 12, he started running. Within minutes, they caught up with him and arrested him after finding a knife in his pocket. Protesters have echoed the claims of the Gray family's attorney, who argues that police didn't have any probable cause to pursue him, but chased him for \"running while black.\" Baltimore Police union attorney Michael Davey told reporters Wednesday that officers had every right to chase Gray. \"There is a Supreme Court case that states that if you are in a high-crime area, and you flee from the police unprovoked, the police have the legal ability to pursue you, and that's what they did,\" he said. \"In this type of an incident, you do not need probable cause to arrest. You just need a reasonable suspicion to make the stop.\" An autopsy says Gray died from a severe spinal cord injury. His family says his voice box was crushed and his neck snapped before he slipped into a coma and later died. Police say they spotted Gray, gave chase, caught him, cuffed him and requested a \"wagon\" to transport him in less than four minutes. The transport van left with Gray about 11 minutes afterward, police said, and another 30 minutes passed before \"units request paramedics to the Western District to transport the suspect to an area hospital.\" Protesters want to know exactly what happened in those 30 minutes, and say it's clear police used too much force when Gray was in their custody. Investigators still haven't said what happened inside the van. Union officials from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3 say something happened inside the vehicle, but they don't know what. Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts told CNN affiliate WJZ that another prisoner inside the van said he didn't see any harm done to Gray. \"What he has said is that he heard Freddie thrashing about,\" Batts said. \"The driver didn't drive erratically, wasn't slamming on breaks, wasn't turning corners fast or in an irrational way.\" Five of the six officers involved in Gray's arrest have provided statements to investigators, the Baltimore Police Department said Wednesday. \"They have completely cooperated with the investigation from Day 1,\" Davey told reporters. But details of what the officers said haven't been released yet by authorities. Neither have the officers' personnel records or photos. Police say doing that would violate the law.

+{"article": "(CNN)The idea of sustainable development is that raw capitalism is far too powerful for its own good. Global capitalism is a juggernaut, with the world economy now doubling in size every generation. Yet on a finite Earth, with a billion new people being added every 15 years, that juggernaut is now laying siege to the physical bases of life and the social support systems that make life pleasant and decent. Sustainable development offers a path out of this growing crisis. The reality is that raw capitalism is the economics of greed. Unleash greed, the theory goes, and type-A personalities around the world will spend inordinate energy to organize businesses, invent new products, and thereby raise well-being. And in some sense, there's a lot to say for this theory. After all, the world economy has expanded at least 100-fold since modern industrial capitalism first found its footing in Britain around 1800, and for most of the world, living standards have risen markedly along the way. Yet history has also taught us that the \"Invisible Hand\" of the free market is a little less miraculous than it looks. Instead, untrammeled greed also leads to massive fraud, mega-tax evasion, pervasive bribery, modern slavery, rising inequalities, and environmental destruction. Perhaps most important, it feeds moral blindness. Too many of the super-rich, whether they are calling for drilling in the Arctic for oil or encouraging the cutting down of the rainforests for tropical hardwoods, simply deny the irreparable damage they are causing to the planet. It\u00b9s no surprise that the Wall Street Journal runs anti-environmental editorials on what feels like a daily basis. The environment is a nuisance and a hindrance to greed. And greed rules the moral order at the top of raw capitalism. Novelists, ethicists, activists, unionists, preachers, teachers, and others have long known these facts, but the juggernaut has proved hard to tame. Unleash greed as the supreme economic good, and it is greed that we get as the ultimate moral arbiter. Sustainable development is a doctrine that says: Let us once again place the economy on a true moral foundation and we'll keep greed within bounds, ensuring the economic growth is combined with social fairness and environmental sustainability. The idea of sustainable development is that an economy must satisfy all three principles: economic growth, social fairness and environmental sustainability. Yes, there can and should be economic growth, especially for today's developing countries. Human ingenuity and markets can indeed lead us to higher living standards and longer lives for all parts of the world, rich and poor alike. But these gains should be widely shared and should never be based on the exploitation of those at the bottom of society. Social inclusion has been widely shown to improve societal progress broadly for all. And equally important, those gains should be based on true value added, not on the destruction of natural capital, whether through deforestation, climate change, or pollution of air, land, and water. Thus, sustainable development calls for a holistic approach that combines economic, social, and environmental objectives.

+{"article": "(CNN)The sun hadn't risen at Garissa University College. Most students slept in their beds. A few had woken up to head to early morning Christian prayers. Then the terror began. It started with an explosion and gunshots around 5:30 a.m. Thursday (10:30 p.m. ET Wednesday) at the Kenyan school's front gates. The attackers continued to fire as they stalked through campus, with the Red Cross saying they stopped at a girls' dormitory. At one point, they burst into a room where Christians had gathered and took hostages, said lecturer Joel Ayora. A student in the room told Alex Kubasu, a reporter with CNN affiliate Citizen TV, that the terrorists sprayed bullets indiscriminately, striking his thigh. \"Then they proceeded to the hostels,\" Ayora told CNN, referring to the university dorm, \"shooting anybody they came across -- except their fellows, the Muslims.\" According to AFP, the gunmen separated the students by religion and allowed Muslims to leave. This would be consistent with the past practices of Al-Shabaab, the Somalia-based terror group that's claimed responsibility for the attack. That's what Al-Shabaab did in a December raid on a quarry in the Kenyan village of Kormey, near the Somali border, that ended with at least 36 killed. Whatever their religion, hundreds of students managed to escape, said Dennis Okari, a reporter with CNN affiliate NTV. Some ran. Some crawled. All feared for their lives. And they were the lucky ones. It wasn't until about 15 hours after the attack began that the explosions and gunfire around Garissa finally ended. Interior Ministry Secretary Joseph Nkaissery announced that four terrorists were killed and the operation had ended \"successfully.\" By then, 147 people were dead and plans were \"underway to evacuate students and other affected persons,\" the Kenya National Disaster Operation Centre tweeted. \"It is a very sad day for Kenya,\" Nkaissery said. Some of those students, at one point or another, were believed to be hostages in one of the four dormitories on campus. Yet others like Ayora managed to find safety, in his case at the staff residence. Others escaped the college's grounds. Okari, for instance, told CNN that he saw about 200 people sitting in the scorching mid-90-degree heat Thursday in a corner of a Garissa airstrip, surrounded by military officials. One student, Japhet Mwala, recalled to AFP how \"everyone started running\" after hearing blasts and gunshots. \"There were those who were not able to leave the hostels where the gunmen headed and started firing,\" Mwala said. \"I am lucky to be alive, because I jumped through the fence with other students.\" Rosalind Mugambi fled into a nearby field with \"bullets following us.\" She escaped unscathed, but a few of her friends did not. \"We saw some bloodstains,\" Mugambi told AFP, \"and they were shot.\" Such terrorism, sadly, isn't new to the people of eastern Kenya. And that's largely thanks to Al-Shabaab.

And throughout the following days, weeks and months, Park Eun-mi waited to see if one of them was her 16-year-old daughter, Huh Da-yun. The divers stopped searching months ago because of the winter and water conditions, and the South Korean ferry remains on the bottom of the sea floor. The Sewol sank on April 16, killing 304 people, mostly high school students who were on their way to a field trip to Jeju island, off South Korea's southern coast. \"We kept waiting with belief in finding our daughter. I thought once, 'Somebody will be the last person and what if it's Da-yun?'\" Park said. A year later, Park's life remains at a standstill. Nine have yet to be found. \"We, the families of the missing victims, are still living the day -- April 16, 2014,\" said Park, who is in poor health, but refusing treatment. \"I cannot think about anything except to find my daughter and other missing people.\" Park's case is an unsettling one -- emblematic of what remains unresolved a year after the Sewol ferry sank. Dozens associated with the ferry disaster have been sent to jail on criminal charges. But families say the underlying problems that led to the sinking of the Sewol are far from resolved. On April 16, the Sewol ferry, carrying hundreds of high school students, began sinking after taking a sharp turn. Passengers were told repeatedly by the crew members to stay where they were as rescuers would arrive soon. Many of them listened to the instructions and remained in place. As the ferry tilted sideways, water seeped in and objects in the ship toppled over, injuring people and blocking their way out. Anger over how the crew failed to evacuate the passengers intensified when video surfaced of the ferry's captain in his underwear leaping into the arms of the Korean Coast Guard while hundreds remained trapped in the vessel. Divers had to pluck the bodies from the water one-by-one, bringing the youngsters back to land in black body bags where they were met with the gut-wrenching cries of their families. On Thursday, the one year anniversary of the disaster, South Korea's President Park Geun-hye called for the salvage of the Sewol's wreck \"as soon as possible.\" \"Recently, there was an announcement that it is technically possible to salvage Sewol ferry. I believe that it is now time to earnestly prepare to salvage,\" she said. A government study on raising the ferry released last week identified a crane and floating dock as the safest way to look for the missing. The Sewol ferry is over 20 years old and there are fears it could fall apart during the extraction, according to the South Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

The group will work in partnership with the State Environmental Institute (INEA) and the Secretariat of State for the Environment.

Dash cam video released Thursday shows the two talking, then shows Scott get out of his car and run. Why did he run? Justin Bamberg, a lawyer for Scott's family, speculated Thursday it could have been related to \"child support and a fear of maybe going back to (jail).\" At the time of his death, Scott owed over $18,000 in back payments for two children and hadn't made a payment since July 2012, according to Charleston County family court documents. Another family lawyer, Chris Stewart, acknowledged that Scott had been arrested previously for outstanding warrants for not paying child support, but Stewart said that had been Scott's lone issue with the law for the past 20 years. \"I know that it had nothing to do with anything violent,\" Bamberg said of Scott's legal history. \"He was not a dangerous person.\" According to a police report, Scott did not comply with an officer's demands and tried to grab Slager's stun gun.

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)A year after ISIS became a household name in America, using brutality and savvy propaganda to challenge al Qaeda and its affiliates for jihadist adherents, U.S. prosecutions of would-be recruits have exploded. The flurry of arrests -- at least 25 people have been detained since January -- is a sign that complicated, manpower-intensive investigations begun when ISIS started seizing swaths of territory a year ago are finally being completed. But they also highlight the unique challenges that ISIS poses in comparison with al Qaeda, which has attracted fewer U.S.-based recruits. Like a new rock band storming the music charts, ISIS has benefited from a media environment that amplifies its propaganda, law enforcement officials said. The group quickly reached early recruits through videos that showcased the fear its adherents instilled in nonbelievers. At first, most of the recruits were self-starters -- people radicalized on their own from consuming ISIS propaganda from YouTube videos and other social media. Much of the propaganda comes in the form of slick movie trailer-style videos, some glorifying brutal practices such as the beheading of anyone who ISIS leaders decide doesn't comport with their medieval brand of Islam. But once those initial Western recruits arrived, living in the self-declared ISIS caliphate spanning parts of Syria and Iraq, they started to directly entice friends and other contacts back home to join them. In Minnesota, nine men have been charged as part of an alleged cell of recruits linked to American Abdi Nur, who turned up fighting with ISIS in Syria in 2014 and began to appeal to his friends to come to the Middle East. \"Each one of those folks who makes it over there has the capability to reach out back to their contacts back here,\" a senior U.S. counterterrorism official said. It's a phenomenon observed in Norway and other European nations, where clusters of young people have been lured to ISIS. And the ISIS recruiters have an easier path to drawing supporters than al Qaeda has had. A decade ago, that group's recruits faced formidable obstacles trying to get to training camps deep in hard-to-reach areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan's tribal region. Few Westerners went through the trouble. Minneapolis men allegedly trying to join ISIS highlight role of American recruiter . Today, ISIS occupies much more accessible territory, mostly reachable through Turkey. Istanbul's airport has easy connections to Western Europe and much of the rest of the world. From there, Turkey's modern infrastructure offers quick access to the border regions where smugglers can help jihadis get across to Syria. The informal recruitment networks and ease of travel have presented a difficult puzzle to intelligence and counterterrorism officials, who are used to tracking networks of facilitators and fundraisers that funnel recruits eastward. \"It's harder for us to pick up on,\" the U.S. counterterrorism official said of the peer-to-peer recruitment, which is well below the radar.

+{"article": "(CNN)Most airline pilots have an above average ability to compartmentalize personal problems. The cockpit is our \"safe\" place. The flight deck is a structured world of black and white. Checklists. Procedures. Standardization. Stress from the job is an accepted part of our career. However, sometimes during the course of an airline pilot's career, or anyone's career for that matter, stress issues may manifest as depression. Depression is treatable. And for airline pilots, it is no longer debilitating to our livelihood. The Federal Aviation Administration now approves certain prescribed medication, allowing us to continue flying until depression is no longer a factor. As the world learns more about Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot on Germanwings Flight 9525, it is readily apparent that this young man had psychiatric issues far beyond clinical depression. He reportedly was administered a series of injections to mitigate his problems, an absolute reflection on the serious nature of his illness. But Lubitz's illness didn't just appear out of thin air. Its effects had to be apparent to others. Lubitz's girlfriend made her concerns public knowledge -- unfortunately after events took their course. Considering the hoops Lubitz had to jump through to have established himself as a Germanwings co-pilot, it's curious to me how the red flags of his illness were missed. To what hoops am I referring? First, let's start with his passion for gliders. Glider flying is one of the purest forms of aviation. Although it is mostly an individualistic endeavor, the sport involves teamwork. Interaction among fellow enthusiasts is paramount to both enjoyment and safety. I'm a glider pilot. Participation among the members of my club uncovers the personalities and idiosyncrasies of each pilot. Behaviors not quite conducive to the activity are readily apparent. Second, Lubitz had to compete successfully in a selection process just to have the opportunity to train through Lufthansa's flight program, a requirement of Germanwings employment. The selection process is most likely highly competitive, requiring above-average aptitude. Is the selection process flawed to the extent that a serious mental disorder would go unnoticed? Regardless, the process had to be a stressful experience. Opinion: Germanwings and the stigma of mental illness . Once accepted into the flight program, a rigorous training period began. For primary training, Lufthansa utilizes an ab initio (from the beginning) program based at a facility the airline owns in Goodyear, Arizona, near Phoenix. The training is geared toward a multi-crew pilot license, or MPL, recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

+{"article": "(CNN)Most companies in South Korea have hoesik at least once a month and sometimes every week. Literally, this means dinner with co-workers. In practice, it means official eating/drinking fests involving multiple rounds of alcohol at multiple venues. For the foreign business traveler, using foreignness as an excuse to bow out of the action only goes so far. The pressure to participate is intense. Drinking etiquette is the first thing you teach foreign guests,\" says Bryan Do, a Korean-American director at the South Korean branch of a U.S. company. \"It was shocking when I first arrived in Korea. \"My boss was a graduate of Korea University [renowned for its hardy drinking culture] and at my first hoesik, we started out with everyone filling a beer glass with soju, and downing it on the spot. That was just the beginning.\" For Koreans, drinking is considered a way to get to know what someone is really like. \"I didn't really like it in the beginning,\" says Charles Lee, a Korean-Canadian who came to Seoul to work for a South Korean company. \"I was like, 'Why are you making me drink something when I don't want to?' But once I understood the meaning behind it, I appreciated it more. \"There are just some things you can't say at work or talk about over lunch -- people who talk about work at lunch are losers. But when someone offers you a glass of soju, it's an invitation that means that they want to listen to you. \"I thought Koreans were impersonal before I drank with them, so the whole context is important.\" Drinking is such a big part of Korean life that Seoul traffic is said to correspond with the city's drinking culture. Mondays are a big night for hoesik, so there are fewer cars during evening rush hour, as most office workers leave them at work so they can go drinking. Tuesdays are a rest day, while Wednesday and Thursday nights are also big nights for company drinking. Fridays have the worst evening traffic, as everyone is taking their cars home to use with their families over the weekend. So how do you avoid offending someone (worst of all, a superior or client) at a Korean drinking extravaganza? Follow these seven handy rules. Koreans always identify the \"higher\" person in the relationship, and defer to them accordingly. One of the first things Koreans often ask when meeting someone new is their age. Even someone just a year older is afforded a language of respect, though age is always superseded by a higher position. It's considered rude for anyone to have an empty glass. If a senior person is pouring -- this usually pertains to hard liquor only -- others shouldn't drink until someone has poured the senior a shot. After all glasses are full, everyone says \"Gunbae!\" and chugs -- usually \"one-shotting\" the entire glass in one go. While downing alcohol, you should turn your body away from senior figures so that your body visually blocks your drinking action from your senior.

A 14-year-old girl was returned to Mexico from Texas on Wednesday after DNA tests showed she's not related to a woman who claimed the teenager was her daughter.

Several videos show the moment the girl was taken out of her middle school. In the footage, Alondra appears terrified, screaming at the top of her lungs and desperately trying to free herself from officers who are dragging her out of the building. After a struggle that lasted several minutes, the 14-year-old was put inside a federal police truck that sped away as witnesses, including the teenager's aunt, watched and recorded. According to Mexican authorities, the woman in Houston claimed in a 2007 petition that her daughter had been illegally taken to Mexico by her biological father without her consent. According to a statement from the Mexican Foreign Ministry, the woman had recently traveled to Guanajuato and seen her daughter there. \"Derived on this information ... and in compliance with international law ... the judge in charge of the case asked Interpol to intervene to make the girl appear at a hearing in which the court would confirm her identity,\" the statement said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Last month's so-so jobs numbers confirm the challenges our economy still faces. Despite recent gains, only 126,000 jobs were added, the lowest since December 2013. Wages remain sluggish. And unemployment may still be at 5.5%, but there is wide concern among labor experts and economists that too much job growth is in part-time low-income work. Low-wage workers have been the hardest hit since the onset of the financial crisis, and low-wage jobs remain a fixture of the new economy. Nearly 60% of the people in America's workforce are paid hourly and work part-time. Most part-time employees are doing low-wage work. Tackling this growing trend is complex. But there is a simple step we can take to improve the conditions of low-wage workers today. Congress should help low-wage workers gain access to predictable work schedules. Here is how this issue works: . America's major fast-food chains, retailers and department stores use \"just-in-time\" scheduling to maximize profit, which in turn creates unstable and stressful work environments for low-wage workers. This type of scheduling has increased dramatically because of sophisticated software that ties staffing to expected customer traffic. Algorithms, built on sales and economic data, provide real-time information for managers to make personnel adjustments. Not surprisingly, such haphazard scheduling wreaks havoc with low-wage workers. Hourly low-income workers endure significantly greater fluctuations in their hours and less predictability in how much they earn than full-time employees. Many don't even know their weekly schedules until the last moment. A University of Chicago study found that 41% of early career hourly workers and 47% who work part-time received a week or less of notice of their work schedules. Imagine dealing with this as you are trying to earn a basic living, find reliable child care, get new vocational skills, or attend to medical needs. Women and workers of color most acutely struggle with this practice. Women comprise over two-thirds of the nearly 20 million workers in low-wage jobs like home health care, fast food work, and cash services. Similarly, a large proportion of minorities work low-wage jobs. Nearly 50% of African-Americans and Latinos receive their hours with a week or less notice. By comparison, almost 40% of whites receive weekly notice. Minorities also have much less of an ability to control their hours. Only 10% of Latinos and 12% of black workers reported being able to set their hours within certain limits or freely. Within this same context, 18% of whites said they could. Child care is the primary casualty of just-in-time scheduling. Because of erratic shifts, child care centers often can't accommodate a working mother's schedule. Many must attend to informal arrangements, which by nature are unstable and unreliable. Traditional economic safeguards have offered little help to these workers. Unions, for example, have provided little protection against just-in-time scheduling because of their nascent role in the service economy. Real solutions exist. States and cities are enacting laws to address scheduling abuses. New York, Minnesota and Michigan previously introduced promising legislation. And in December, San Francisco became the first jurisdiction to pass a \"retail worker bill of rights.\"", "summary": "Vijay Das: So-so jobs numbers contain truth that worries labor experts: Too much American job growth is in part-time low-income work.

+{"article": "(CNN)The best part of the Supreme Court oral arguments about marriage equality was when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg alluded to S&M. OK, she didn't actually mention S&M, but Ginsburg talked about how the institution of marriage has already changed from long ago, when it was \"a dominant and a subordinate relationship.\" \"Yes, it was marriage between a man and a woman, but the man decided where the couple would be domiciled,\" said Ginsburg. \"It was her obligation to follow him.\" Mary Bonauto, the attorney arguing on behalf of the four same-sex couples who petitioned the Supreme Court, said in response: \"That's correct. ... For centuries we had and Europe had this coverture system where a woman's legal identity was absorbed into that of her husband and men and women had different prescribed legal roles. And again, because of equality and changing social circumstances, all of those gender differences in the rights and responsibilities of the married pair have been eliminated.\" Once upon a time, wives were the legal property of their husbands and \"marital rape\" was not only not a crime but not even a concept. To argue that the definition of marriage has not changed since then is either willfully ignorant or woefully na\u00efve. Justice Anthony Kennedy, widely believed to be the key swing vote amidst a court otherwise generally evenly divided along ideological lines, at one point referred to \"the nobility and the sacredness of marriage.\" Which is true, if you ignore the history of its past and the reality of infidelity in the present. If anything, the nobility and sacredness of marriage need protecting from straight people. One downside to arguing that marriage has \"always been\" between a man and a woman is that, therefore, any problems in the institution of marriage are also plainly the responsibility of heterosexual couples, too. The one justice who didn't ask a question is Clarence Thomas, who, with one slight exception, has now gone over nine years without a single inquiry from the bench. It should be carefully noted here that Thomas is a black man married to a white woman. Anti-miscegenation laws banning interracial marriage were first introduced in 1661 in Maryland. That means that by 1967, when the Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of such laws, bans against interracial marriage had been officially part of the American \"definition\" of marriage for over 300 years. Just 20 years after the Supreme Court struck down the anti-miscegenation laws still in effect in 16 states, Clarence Thomas and his wife, Virginia, were married. James Braxton Peterson, director of Africana Studies at Lehigh University, has written, \"The fact that the Thomas' marriage required progressive Supreme Court action must in some way inform their sense of this moment.\" Or maybe not. Clarence Thomas didn't say one way or the other, though his remarks outside court and in dissenting opinions suggest he's firmly opposed to the Supreme Court doing for other loving relationships what it once did for his own. But perhaps the example of Clarence Thomas speaks to what seems most glaring about the oral arguments", "summary": "Sally Kohn: Supreme Court seems to have increasingly become a place for partisan theatrics .

+{"article": "(CNN)Back in 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini famously said he was \"drinking poison\" when he accepted a ceasefire to end the eight-year-old war with Iraq. The war had helped define Khomeini's regime, the Islamic Republic, which he had founded a year before Saddam Hussein invaded Iran. Khomeini galvanized the nation, both his supporters and growing opponents, to fight against the enemy. He dragged out the war for eight years, despite Saddam's willingness to accept a ceasefire, and thus stabilized the foundations of the Islamic Republic. By the time he ended the war, the economy was in shambles, and there was no sign of his die-hard volunteers. Since then, \"drinking a chalice of poison\" has became part of Iranian political lexicon, and many analysts have asked whether Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Khomeini's successor, would raise the chalice and surrender to demands by the West to end Iran's nuclear program. Like the war, Iran's defiance to halt its controversial nuclear program has defined Khameni's era. He has defied the West in the face of increasing economic pressure. Iran claims that its program is peaceful, but Khamenei's refusal to end uranium enrichment activities -- a process that can lead to making nuclear fuel as well as nuclear bombs -- has landed the country under crippling sanctions. The standoff with the West has stretched longer than the war. The agreement reached in Lausanne, Switzerland, however, marks a new chapter in the history of the country. If Iran can finalize a deal by June with the United States and its P5+1 partners, international investors, including Americans, would be able to invest in Iran for the first time in decades. Iran can develop its gas and oil fields, and the economy can leap forward. Desperate for a deal, whoever I called over the past week inside Iran was glued to their television sets, and tens of thousands poured out on the streets to celebrate the agreement late Thursday night. Iran's economy shrank after sanctions were intensified in 2012 and the value of the Rial, the Iranian currency, plunged to one-third of the U.S. dollar. Inflation soared and the bank accounts of ordinary Iranians were frozen overseas as a result of sanctions. Millions of Iranians are hoping that their lives will improve in the post-deal era. Despite the regime's propaganda that claimed the program enjoys wide support among people, critics inside the country publicly denounced nuclear policies. Ahmad Shirzad, a former member of parliament, denounced the program last year and said it had been \"against national interests.\" Another critic, Sadeq Ziba, said in December \"the nuclear program has hurt the country more than the war.\" Iranian politicians are divided between moderates -- led by President Hassan Rouhani, who wants to develop the economy -- and hardliners, who view the deal as a threat to the regime's ideology. The majority of people brought Rouhani to power in 2012, hoping that he would ease the sanctions. Many see the negotiations as a diplomatic necessity that would help sideline hardliners too. Yet the Lausanne agreement would not have been possible without the moderates' will and", "summary": "Iran's first Supreme Leader made a bitter peace with Iraq's Saddam Hussein .

After a preliminary framework for a possible nuclear deal was reached between Iran and world powers, many here believe a final agreement is possible -- and most hope that widespread sanctions relief could be on the horizon. Businesses are already gearing up for a time after the restrictions are lifted, and many people anticipate a huge boost to the economy. \"Naturally we are all very happy,\" one woman in central Tehran told us. \"We expect better days economically and culturally. We want better relations with the rest of the world.\" Another man added, \"I have a good feeling about it, because my country will be free of the fear of war.\" But this weekend, just a few miles down the road, Iran's leaders were celebrating their war machine as the military held its annual National Army Day parade.

Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, the Chief of Staff of Iran's armed forces and a man who is close to Rouhani, told CNN he hopes the U.S. and Iran can work closer together to fight ISIS in Iraq. \"The unity of humanity based on the right of all human beings to live, and their right to freedom, dictates that all human society is threatened by ISIS, and all humans should unite against ISIS and work against them,\" Firouzabadi said. Firouzabadi also repeated Iran's longstanding claim that the U.S. is partly responsible for creating ISIS, which now controls large parts of Iraq and Syria. \"If the Americans really didn't create ISIS, and if they want to destroy ISIS, it is possible for them to achieve that,\" he said. \"But we have not seen anything so far except intelligence gathering from the U.S. and Britain. We hope that one day, because of their national interests and the will of their nations, the U.S. and the UK will decide to really fight ISIS.\" Iran has often dismissed the coalition air campaign as ineffective, while praising its own strategy of training, advising, outfitting and directing Iraqi Shia militias, Kurdish forces and the Iraqi military.

Sources tell THR that the project, if all goes well, could go straight to series. Bob Kushell (\"Anger Management,\" \"3rd Rock From the Sun\") will also co-write and is attached to serve as showrunner, with Wilfred's Randall Einhorn attached to exec produce and direct the presentation. ABC's \"Muppets\" revival is being produced by ABC Studios and The Muppet Studios, which Disney owns. The presentation is set to film next weekend on the Disney lot in Burbank with some of the original Muppet performers returning. Sources say the concept for the presentation includes the regular cast of characters created by Jim Henson \u2014 Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and Animal, among others \u2014 gathering at ABC Studios for a meeting about the new \"Muppet Show.\" However, the show won't move forward unless Miss Piggy signs on, and her current relationship with frequent love Kermit is on the rocks, preventing the show from getting off the ground. Early plans call for two celebrity cameos \u2014 including Miss Piggy's current co-star \u2014 as well as new roles including Fozzie's girlfriend and her parents. For Prady, the revived \"Muppets\" \u2014 which landed at ABC after initial interest from Netflix \u2014 marks a return to his roots. The producer, who currently does not have an overall deal, started his career working for Henson in 1982 and ultimately started writing for \"The Jim Henson Hour,\" remaining on the series until a year after Henson's death in 1990. This marks the second time Prady has attempted to revive \"The Muppets.\" The writer-producer shot some test footage before CBS' \"The Big Bang Theory\" that Disney ultimately passed on. For his part, Prady earned an Emmy nomination in 1991 for writing tribute \"The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson\" in 1990 and has contributed writing to Disney's Muppet-themed attractions. Should ABC order \"Muppets\" to series, Prady would juggle both that project and CBS' \"The Big Bang Theory,\" which he exec produces. Created in 1955 by Henson, the original Muppet characters appeared on \"Sam and Friends\" from 1955-61 before going on to appear on late-night talk shows and commercials and becoming a regular part of \"Sesame Street\" in 1969. \"The Muppet Show\" launched on its own as a comedy-variety series and ran from 1976-81, with Kermit serving as the de-facto showrunner on the syndicated series that was produced out of the U.K. The franchise has spawned multiple movies (1979's \"The Muppet Movie,\" 1981's \"The Great Muppet Caper,\" 1984's \"The Muppets Take Manhattan\") as well as NBC's 1989 series \"The Jim Henson Hour.\" Following Henson's death, the franchise continued with \"Muppets Tonight\" airing on ABC in 1996 with reruns airing on sibling Disney Channel from 1997-2000.

Boardwine's friend, Joyce Bruce, had used his sperm and a turkey baster to get pregnant. She thought after she learned she was with child that they should just be friends. She also thought that because they never had sex, she was entitled to be the boy's sole parent, according to court documents. The Court of Appeals of Virginia decided differently in weighing the commonwealth's assisted conception statute and denying Bruce's appeal to deny Boardwine visitation. It agreed with a circuit court ruling that method of insemination didn't come from medical technology. \"The plain meaning of the term 'medical technology' does not encompass a kitchen implement such as a turkey baster,\" the appeals court wrote in its decision. Bruce's attorney, Monica T. Monday, said she would need to talk to her client before she can comment about whether they will file an appeal. Boardwine initially was hesitant when Bruce approached him in 2010 with the turkey baster idea, the court document says. They talked about writing their agreement down on paper, but that never happened. They tried the turkey baster method a few times. He'd come over to her house, go to a room alone, bring his sperm in a plastic cup, they'd chat, and he'd leave. Then she'd use the kitchen utensil and wait. After she didn't get pregnant, she twice tried a fertility doctor. No luck. She and Boardwine tried a few more times, and in July, she learned she was going to have a baby. Boardwine came by the house with a stuffed bear and clothes for the baby. Things were OK. He thought he was going to be able to see the newborn as often as he wanted. She thought he could have \"some involvement,\" the appeals court decision says, but she would be the sole parent. He'd be like any other friend, certainly not have formal visitation. Then they argued. Over what to name the baby. They didn't speak for more than five months after that. The baby was born, and Boardwine says he learned about the baby's arrival from someone else. He went to the hospital and saw the boy at Bruce's home. Joyce Bruce said the visits were \"strained.\" She told Boardwine to stop coming. So he took the matter to court. Bruce argued that she used \"noncoital reproductive technology\" to get pregnant, and Boardwine was technically a sperm donor. He argued that he always expected to be a dad, going to the kid's games and taking part in making decisions on schools and medical needs. A court-ordered DNA test proved Boardwine is the biological father. The appeals court affirmed the lower court's ruling, saying the turkey baster doesn't constitute reproductive technology.

Now scientists are working on an alternative way to peer into the past and search space for signs of life with JWST -- scheduled to launch in October 2018 on an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana. NASA spokesperson Lynn Chandler told CNN that the mission was like opening up the curtains on the universe and peering inside. \"Hubble rewrote the text books and we're planning to rewrite the text books again,\" she said. \"JWST will answer the questions which at the moment we can't think to ask.\" The Webb telescope is a big probe. Hubble is about the size of a school bus but JWST is as big as a tennis court. There isn't a rocket currently capable of carrying that so as Chandler explained: \"It has to be folded up like a flower and then unfurled like a transformer.\" Named after James E. Webb, a former NASA leader, JWST is being designed to study the first stars and galaxies that formed in the early universe. NASA says that to see these objects the telescope will have to detect objects which are 10 to 100 times fainter than Hubble can currently see. Instead of studying visible and ultraviolet light like Hubble, the JWST will work in the infra-red spectrum, allowing scientists to detect more distant targets. The new telescope requires a huge mirror of 25 square meters (about 270 square feet) -- and a golf ball of gold (about 48 grams or 1.7 ounces) to optimize it for infra-red light. It is then coated with glass. But technology like this doesn't come cheap. According to NASA, the mission, which is in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and involves a total of 14 countries, will cost $8.5 billion. NASA says that the project has four main goals -- namely, to search for the first galaxies formed after the Big Bang, find out how galaxies evolved, observe the birth of stars and planets and investigate the potential for life on other planets . Scientists hope the telescope will be able to tell us more about objects that formed 13 billion years ago -- about 700-800 million years after the Big Bang. But closer to home, scientists also believe the new telescope will able to detect planets around nearby stars. NASA says JWST should be able to operate", "summary": "Hubble has helped make major discoveries but there are limits to how far it can see into space .

+{"article": "(CNN)Silent, almost shy as she headed into Manhattan Criminal Court, Ailina Tsarnaeva was anything but timid when it came to a perceived rival, prosecutors say. According to a criminal complaint, Tsarnaeva threatened a woman in a phone call this summer, saying \"Leave my man alone.\" \"Stop looking for him. ... I know people that can put a bomb where you live,\" she said, according to the complaint. Considering who was making the threats, prosecutors didn't consider it a joke and charged Tsarnaeva with aggravated harassment, which she denies. Leaving court last December, she and her lawyer refused to discuss the case. Tsarnaeva is the sister of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Authorities allege the brothers are responsible for the 2013 Boston marathon bombing, which left three people dead and more than 260 others injured. Police shot and killed Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, during the manhunt and later captured Dzhokhar, who is now on trial. Tsarnaev's lawyers don't dispute that he did it. The defense argues that he was influenced and enlisted by his older, self-radicalized brother to commit acts of terror. Defense rests in Boston Marathon bombing trial . The Tsarnaev family first immigrated to the Boston area back in 2002. The parents, fleeing a troubled region of Russia, were treated as legal residents and granted asylum -- a status that opened the door for taxpayer-funded welfare. The state of Massachusetts has confirmed the Tsarnaevs received food stamps, public housing and other aid, on and off, between 2002 and 2012. During this time, Tamerlan Tsarnaev began his conversion to radical Islam. Then, according to investigators, he began filling his younger brother's head with a hatred toward the West. Not much is known about the two Tsarnaeva daughters, Ailina, 24, and Bella, 26, though their last known address was in North Bergen, New Jersey. Along with charges of making bomb threats, Ailina Tsarnaeva has a past record that includes misleading police in a counterfeiting case. She pleaded guilty but got no jail time. She was also charged with leaving the scene of an accident, but that charge was dismissed. Her older sister, Bella, was charged with marijuana possession and intent to distribute after a 2012 arrest, and she entered a pretrial intervention program. Even their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, has had issues with the law. She fled back to Russia in 2012, where she remains a fugitive. Records show that she was arrested in June 2012 for allegedly shoplifting $1,600 worth of women's clothing from a Boston-area Lord & Taylor department store. She is wanted on felony charges of shoplifting and destruction of property. Russia raised concerns to U.S. authorities about her in 2011 at the same time they asked the United States about her son Tamerlan, several sources told CNN shortly after the 2013 attack. U.S. authorities added the mother and son to the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDE, database -- a collection of more than a half-million names maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center, an intelligence official said. FBI agents interviewed Zubeidat Tsarnaev as part of the investigation into her son, whose case", "summary": "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is on trial for his alleged role in the Boston Marathon bombings .

For this we should all feel shame: shame that we live in a world where the lives of young girls can be shattered with impunity by fanatical thugs. Shame that when such horrendous acts occur, our collective attention span is so fleeting. A year ago, I could never have imagined that we would be here today, marking the grim 12-month milestone of these girls going missing. In the early days of their abduction much of the world stood as one, rallying around the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls. On the ground in Nigeria as part of CNN's team covering the story, I was buoyed by this global solidarity. A year on, meet the man still fighting to #BringBackOurGirls . Caught in the blinding glare of global attention, and facing a tide of questions about their bungled response to the kidnappings, the Nigerian government felt the weight of accountability and was spurred to take greater action; offers of assistance from the likes of the US, UK, France, and China were accepted. Promise after promise was made by Nigerian government officials that the girls would come home -- so where are they, and where is the global outrage over these broken promises and broken dreams? My heart goes out to the grief-stricken loved ones of these missing girls on this painful anniversary. Poor and socially marginalized, all many of them have is their hope that their girls will one day return. Girls who escaped risk lives to go to school . The task of keeping that hope alive has largely been taken up by the handful of #BringBackOurGirls campaigners in Nigeria. These men and women have worked tirelessly to keep the story alive for the past year; their struggle has been a painful and increasingly lonely one. But as the world's gaze has shifted they have continued to meet the Nigerian government's silence with cries of: \"Bring Back Our Girls, now and alive!\" At this point, finding the girls will not be easy. But it can be done. It must be done. Malala offers 'solidarity, love, hope' to abducted schoolgirls . These girls are no different from your daughters, sisters, nieces: each has hopes and dreams of their own. But I also believe there is another reason these girls must be reunited with their families - in the words of Martin Luther King: \"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

The ousted President was convicted on charges of violence and inciting violence and sentenced to 20 years in prison for the torture of protesters outside the presidential palace in December 2012. But he was acquitted of murder in the deaths of protesters. He stood trial with 14 co-defendants, including some of his presidential staff. All 14 co-defendants were also convicted of violence and inciting violence, and all were also acquitted of murder. Morsy, who became Egypt's first democratically elected President in June 2012, was deposed by a popularly backed military coup in July 2013. After the sentencing, his Freedom and Justice Party called the trial a \"travesty of justice.\" \"This is a sad and terrible day in Egyptian history,\" the party said in a statement Tuesday. \"Coup leaders have sentenced Mohamed Morsi to decades in prison for nothing more than championing the democratic will of the people.\" But Ramy Ghanem, a civil plaintiff lawyer representing one of the torture victims, said the conviction was fair. \"This is a very appropriate and clear verdict on people that committed the crime,\" he said. \"This, in fact, was the maximum sentence for the charges. The surprise was the acquittal.\" Hoda Nasrallah, a lawyer representing two torture victims, called the outcome of the case typical for Egypt. \"All the cases involving big gatherings and demonstrations in which protesters were killed usually see the culprits walk free. This case is a manifestation of this,\" she said. \"The public will always see the verdicts as politicized because there is no regime put on trial before falling, so everyone sees it as settling scores. It's not about Morsy only, but it also applies to (former Egyptian President Hosni) Mubarak and others. This is the status quo in Egypt. We wish we could see the trial of a regime when it is in power, not after that.\" Nasrallah called for a \"fair trial,\" criticizing the fact that seven men killed during the December 2012 clashes were not included in this case, because they were affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, and that the involvement of other sides, including police, wasn't investigated. Morsy can appeal his conviction. But Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Mohamed Montasser has already issued an ominous warning on Twitter: . \"Sentencing the president won't pass,\" he said. \"The revolution will be ignited, popular anger will increase and we promise you unexpected revolutionary surprises.\" At various points in the trial, Morsy said that he was still the President of Egypt and refused to recognize the court as legal. Attorney Mohamed Selim El-Awa cited constitutional articles to the court that stipulated the steps for removing a president and putting him on trial -- something that required the approval of two-thirds of the parliament and a special court made of the country's top judges.

For four years, she hid her writing from the authorities and smuggled her stories out of the country to get around Saudi Arabia's prohibition on foreign journalists.

Mackey wrote for the people she knew, in a layman's language that was rooted in her training as a high school history teacher. \"Scholars may be put off by Mackey's occasionally florid, bombastic language, but her work is a sound analysis and a sympathetic yet balanced effort to explain Arab perspectives to Americans,\" Elizabeth R.

Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), complains that Britain's membership of the European Union means it is powerless to stop a flow of foreign immigrants, many from impoverished Eastern Europe, into his \"small island\" nation. In a video posted on YouTube, Prince Jan Zylinski said he was fed up with discrimination against Poles living in Britain. \"The most idiotic example I've heard of has been Mr. Nigel Farage blaming migrants for traffic jams on the M40,\" Zylinksi said. Holding a sword that had belonged to his father -- a World War II war hero -- the prince laid down a verbal gauntlet. \"Enough is enough, Mr. Farage. So what I'd like to do, Mr. Farage, is to challenge you to a duel,\" he said. \"I would like us to meet in Hyde Park one morning with our swords and resolve this matter in the way that an 18th century Polish aristocrat and an English gentleman would traditionally do. \"Are you up for it Mr. Farage?\" Farage -- who is on the campaign trail ahead of Britain's general elections on May 7 -- said he did not intend to cross swords with the prince. \"It is an impressive sword. I don't have one but I'm sure we could find one if we had to. But I'm not intending to accept the offer,\" a spokesman quoted him as saying. \"I would have thought that a Polish prince with a long Polish lineage would rather agree with me that it's a complete tragedy for Poland that it's lost so many of its brightest and best young people.\" UKIP wants Britain to leave the European Union.

It knows the residents and shies away from strangers. \"They are intelligent birds. Every time I got close to them they would fly away,\" photographer Timothy Bouldry said. The dirty, wet conditions of the landfill attracted the endangered stork, and the stork attracted Bouldry. Through a series of photos taken within a day, he captures what it's like to live inside one of the largest dumping grounds in India.

+{"article": "(CNN)Whether a patient is in the hospital for an organ transplant, an appendectomy or to have a baby, one complaint is common: the gown. You know the one. It might as well have been stitched together with paper towels and duct tape, and it usually leaves the wearer's behind hanging out. \"You're at the hospital because something's wrong with you -- you're vulnerable -- then you get to wear the most vulnerable garment ever invented to make the whole experience that much worse,\" said Ted Streuli, who lives in Edmond, Okla., and has had to wear hospital gowns on multiple occasions. Put another way: \"They are horrible. They are demeaning. They are belittling. They are disempowering,\" said Camilla McRory of Olney, Md. Hospital gowns have gotten a face-lift after some help from fashion designers like these from Patient Style and the Henry Ford Innovation Institute. The gowns are among the most vexing parts of being in the hospital. But if efforts by some health systems are an indicator, the design may be on its way out of style. The Cleveland Clinic was an early trendsetter. In 2010, it introduced new gowns after being prompted by the CEO, who often heard patient complaints when he was a practicing heart surgeon. That feedback led to a search for something new, said Adrienne Boissy, chief experience officer at the hospital system. The prominent academic medical center ultimately sought the help of fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg, settling on a reversible gown with a front and back V-neck, complete derriere coverage, and features such as pockets, softer fabric and a new bolder print pattern. Patients \"loved the gowns,\" Boissy said. \"People felt much more comfortable in the new design, not just physically but emotionally.\" In recent years, she added, \"hospitals are looking at everything they do and trying to evaluate whether or not it contributes to enhancing the patient experience.\" It's all part of a trend among hospitals to improve the patient reviews and their own bottom lines -- fueled in part by the health law's focus on quality of care and other federal initiatives. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services increasingly factors patients' satisfaction into its quality measures, which are linked to the size of Medicare payments hospitals get. Sometimes the efforts involve large capital improvement projects. But they can also mean making waiting rooms more comfortable, improving the quality of food served to patients or, as in this case, updating hospital gowns. Ultimately, this focus leads to \"a better patient experience,\" said John Combes, senior vice president of the American Hospital Association. The Detroit-based Henry Ford Health System is in the process of updating its gowns, an initiative that began when the system's innovation institute challenged students at the city's College for Creative Studies to identify and offer a solution to one hospital problem. The students responded with the suggestion to redo the garment that has often been described by patients as flimsy, humiliating, indecent and itchy. The process took three years, but last fall, the institute unveiled a new and improved version.", "summary": "Hospital gowns have gotten a face-lift with help from fashion designers such as Diane von Furstenberg .

He was released after posting $2 million bond and surrendering his passport. Two other men -- identified as James Chmela, 43, and James Kalamaras, 41 -- were named as accomplices, according to prosecutors. They pleaded not guilty in Nassau County District Court, according to authorities. Both were released on bail. Requests for comment from attorneys representing Moschetto and Chmela were not returned.

Moschetto's attorney, Randy Zelin, said Wednesday that his client \"will be defending himself vigorously,\" the New York Post reported. \"Doctors are supposed to ensure the health and wellbeing of people, but Dr. Moschetto is alleged to have replaced that responsibility with brazen, callous and criminal acts,\" Acting Nassau District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement. Police officers allegedly discovered approximately 100 weapons at Moschetto's home, including hand grenades, high-capacity magazines and knives. Many of the weapons were found in a hidden room behind a switch-activated bookshelf, according to prosecutors. The investigation began back in December, when undercover officers began buying heroin and oxycodone pills from Moschetto in what was initially a routine investigation into the sale of prescription drugs, officials said. During the course of the undercover operation, however, Moschetto also sold the officers two semiautomatic assault weapons as well as ammunition, prosecutors said. Moschetto allegedly told officers during one buy that he needed dynamite to \"blow up a building.\" He later said he no longer needed the dynamite because a friend was setting fire to the building instead. Kalamaras and Chmela are believed to have taken part in the arson, according to prosecutors. \"The fire damaged but did not destroy the office of another cardiologist whose relationship with Dr. Moschetto had soured due to a professional dispute,\" according to the statement from the district attorney's office.

But just last week she suddenly stopped mid-conversation and said, \"I am proud of you on the whole marijuana thing.\" I waited for the other shoe to drop, but it didn't. Instead, she added, \"You probably helped a lot of people who were suffering.\" I don't think we had ever had a conversation like that one. At that moment, I saw a revolution that can bring you to tears. The word revolution, comes from the Latin revolutio, to \"turn around.\" I had my own turn around a couple of years ago, and at the time it was a lonely place to hold a supportive position on medical marijuana.

But on Tuesday, jurors also began to hear about the holes his bombs left in the hearts of the survivors and the families of the dead. Now that he has been found guilty on every count, the jury must decide whether Boston Marathon bomber Tsarnaev, 21, should live or die for what he has done. This is the victim impact part of the case, and the testimony was heartbreaking. Four young people are gone, and grief fills the spaces they once occupied. A father with a shock of white hair cried for the daughter he called \"Princess.\" \"Krystle was the light of my life. She was extremely smart, hardworking, beautiful, every father's dream.

A NASA astrophysicist has named an asteroid after the teenage education activist from Pakistan, who was gravely wounded by a Pakistani Taliban gunman for promoting the right of girls' to go to school. It took a meticulous medical response to save her life more than two years ago. But Malala recovered with no serious neurological damage to become a powerhouse for her cause. After reading her story, scientist Amy Mainzer, who also consults for PBS on a children's educational science show, decided Malala deserved to be immortalized. So, she attached her name to the heavens. Thousands of asteroids swarm through the solar system mainly between Mars and Jupiter. Mainzer, working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, discovered Asteroid 316201 in June 2010, which gave her the right to name it. \"My postdoctoral fellow Dr. Carrie Nugent brought to my attention the fact that although many asteroids have been named, very few have been named to honor the contributions of women (and particularly women of color),\" Mainzer wrote in a note to Malala. Mainzer gave it the name 316201 Malala, or 2010 ML48. Malala's asteroid circles the sun between Mars and Jupiter every five and half years, Mainzer said. \"It is about 4 kilometers in diameter, and its surface is very dark, the color of printer toner.\" As a scientist, her support for Malala's work is logical.

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)Chief Justice John Roberts is back in the spotlight. Roberts -- who shocked conservatives nearly three years ago by providing a pivotal vote to uphold Obamacare -- once again faces a judicial crossroads in a historic case. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday in a case that could decide whether gay and lesbian couples nationwide have the constitutional right to marry. The question at the core of Obergefell v. Hodges is one of the most consequential debates of the early 21st century, and one that is already helping to shape the 2016 presidential race. Appeals courts nationwide have moved decisively toward supporting same-sex marriage, but a split at the appellate level helped propel the issue to the nation's highest court, led by Roberts. Appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush, Roberts has a solid conservative record and would seem an unlikely vote to support a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. He dissented in United States v. Windsor, a landmark case in which a narrowly divided court struck down a key provision of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal benefits to lawfully married same-sex couples. And he's expressed sympathy with legal arguments that would allow same-sex marriage bans. Yet both sides see the case as a legacy-making moment for the 60-year-old chief justice, and advocates for same-sex couples hold out hope that he will emerge as their ally. They will be scrutinizing his words and actions Tuesday for clues about how he'll vote -- and whether he will upset some conservatives once again. \"If the Windsor majority votes in favor of marriage equality, the ruling will be one of the most momentous decisions of the Roberts court,\" said Judith E. Schaeffer of the Constitutional Accountability Center, which is advocating for same-sex marriage. \"Will John Roberts want to be remembered as having dissented from such a historic decision?\" For some conservatives, a vote in favor of same-sex marriage in the case would be a huge disappointment. It would be akin to the type of betrayal they felt when Justice David Souter, who was nominated to the bench by George H.W. Bush and who retired in 2009, consistently voted with the liberals or when Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Ronald Reagan appointee, disappointed them on earlier gay rights cases as well as abortion and the death penalty. Or when Roberts infuriated conservative allies by providing the crucial fifth vote to uphold Obamacare on the grounds that the law is a constitutional use of the government's taxing authority. The hope in conservative circles is that Roberts will see his legacy as ensuring that the issue of same-sex marriage gets decided by the people, not the courts. \"The chief surely knows that his job is to be on the right side of the Constitution,\" said Edward Whelan, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. \"Blatherings about the 'wrong side of history' are an appeal to intellectual cowardice.\" Those hoping that he will vote to uphold the state bans see a strong signal in the Windsor case.

Three of the teens, all of them either 18 or 19, have since been released \"pending further enquiries,\" Australia's Federal Police said, but two remain in custody. Sevdet Besim, 18, has been charged with conspiring to commit a terrorist act, and was denied bail Saturday. The other suspect, a 19-year-old, has not yet appeared in court. \"Some evidence that we have collected at a couple of the scenes and some other information we have leads us to believe that this particular matter was ISIS-inspired,\" said Neil Gaughan, acting deputy commissioner of the Australian Federal Police. The suspects planned to attack during a major national commemoration in a week, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Saturday. \"The act that we believe was in preparation involved attacks against police officers,\" he said. There was also a risk to the public, police said. Police said the suspects were targeting a ceremony on Anzac Day (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps Day), which is April 25 and this year is the centennial of the Gallipoli Campaign in World War I. Abbott avoided the term ISIS -- or Islamic State -- to call out those who authorities believed influenced the suspects. He instead referred to the group as the \"Daesh death cult,\" employing the acronym that is transliterated from the group's name in Arabic. It's a handle ISIS is known to loathe. Police also distanced the suspects from any ethnic connection. The men \"are individuals acting by themselves. They are not representatives of any religious, cultural or national group,\" Victoria Police Acting Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said. \"I think the entire Australian community should be concerned about the young age of those particular men,\" Gaughan said. \"And this is an issue not just with law enforcement, but for the broader community. ... We need to get better in relation to identifying young men and woman involved in this type of behavior, at the very early stage.\" The suspects were associates of 18-year-old Nadun Haider, who was killed while stabbing officers at a police station in September, police said. Abbott lamented a string of extremist attacks on Australian soil. In December, Australian authorities stormed a Sydney chocolate cafe where a self-styled Muslim cleric had been holding hostages, killing the gunman. Two of the 17 hostages initially held by the gunman died. In February, two men were charged with plotting terror activities in Sydney. Despite distancing the suspects from religion, Abbott did make a connection to the Middle East. \"There are now about a hundred Australians who are fighting with terrorists in the Middle East,\" and another 150 people in Australia support them with funds and recruiting, the Prime Minister said. In February, Abbott announced tougher citizenship laws as a part of the government's new counterterrorism strategy.

+{"article": "(CNN)As tourists stroll between Yellowstone's 300 active geysers, taking selfies in front of thousands of bubbling, boiling mud pots and hissing steam vents, they are treading on one of the planet's greatest time bombs. The park is a supervolcano so enormous, it has puzzled geophysicists for decades, but now a research group, using seismic technology to scan its depths, have made a bombshell discovery. Yellowstone's magma reserves are many magnitudes greater than previously thought, say scientists from the University of Utah. Underneath the national park's attractions and walking paths is enough hot rock to fill the Grand Canyon nearly 14 times over. Most of it is in a newly discovered magma reservoir, which the scientists featured in a study published on Thursday in the journal Science. It may help scientists better understand why Yellowstone's previous eruptions, in prehistoric times, were some of Earth's largest explosions in the last few million years. The Utah scientists also created the first three-dimensional depiction of the geothermal structure under Yellowstone, which comprises three parts. Yellowstone's ultimate heat source reaches down 440 to 1,800 miles beneath Earth's surface -- and may come from its molten core. It is responsible for fueling the newly discovered reservoir that lies on top of it. The magma chamber, which scientists already knew about, lies on top of the reservoir -- and draws magma from it. It is a three to nine miles under the surface of the Earth and is what fuels the geysers, steaming puddles and other hot attractions. It alone has a volume 2.5 times that of the Grand Canyon. But those great magma expanses do not mean that the two hellish hollows could overflow the Grand Canyon with molten rock. The overwhelming bulk of their magma cavities comprise scorching -- yet solid -- rock, which is hollow, like sponges, and filled with pockets of liquefied rock. Also, the discovery doesn't mean that there is now more magma than there was before, the scientists say. And they are no signs of an imminent eruption. \"The actual hazard is the same, but now we have a much better understanding of the complete crustal magma system,\" said researcher Robert B. Smith. An eruption in the next few thousand years is extremely unlikely, the USGS says. The Utah scientists put the yearly chance at 1 in 700,000 -- about the odds that you will be struck by lightning. But when it does blow, it probably will change the world. Compared to Yellowstone's past, Mount St. Helens was a picnic, when it covered Washington state with an ash bed about the size of Lake Michigan in 1980. Mount Pinatubo, which exploded in the Philippines in 1991, doesn't begin to scratch the surface of Yellowstone's roar. Nor did Krakatoa in 1883, which killed thousands, and the final explosion of which reportedly ruptured the eardrums of people 40 miles away. To understand the consequences of Yellowstone's previous eruptions, open the history books to 1815, when Mount Tambora blew many cubic miles of debris skyward and killed about 10,000 inhabitants of Indonesia in an instant, according", "summary": "Scientist measured the thousands of small earthquakes in Yellowstone to scan the earth underneath it .

Hiding outside his cell. Ready to pounce. When he did, his victim was a correctional officer making his rounds, according to Kankakee County Sheriff Timothy Bukowski. Taylor beat up the guard, put on his uniform and took his keys. He then walked out of the jail's door and into the officer's brown 2012 Chevrolet Equinox SUV. Where the 23-year-old, who was set to be sentenced in May, is now is anybody's guess. The Equinox was discovered around 8:30 a.m. (9:30 a.m. ET) in Kankakee, but without any sign of the convicted murderer who drove it. Looking for Taylor is job No. 1 for authorities. No. 2 is figuring out how he managed to first get out of his cell, then get out of the Jerome Combs Detention Center and on the lam. \"The question for us is where did (the county correctional system) break down,\" Bukowski said. \"It looks right now (like) somebody didn't do their job properly.\" What authorities do know is based on video, other evidence and interviews with witnesses -- namely other inmates at the Kankakee jail. What they don't know is how Taylor got out of his two-man cell, when he should have been locked down. But somehow he did, and hid. \"And then when the opportunity arose, he attacked the officer,\" Bukowski said, noting that Taylor \"attacked from the side\" around 3 a.m. \"Beat him, choked him.\" He then apparently disrobed the guard, a military veteran and 10-year employee of the corrections department. The guard was left on the jail floor, going in and out of consciousness, for about 35 minutes before authorities -- concerned because the guard hadn't responded to calls -- found him, the sheriff said. \"They then called the ambulance and we were notified and put out an alert,\" added Bukowski. By then, Taylor was gone. He'd pushed a button to notify \"master control\" that he wanted to leave, which means his identity would have been checked by camera. \"We think that because he had the officer's uniform on,\" the sheriff explained, \"that's how he was able to effectively escape.\" Taylor walked out the door and into the detention center's parking lot, where, authorities said, he clicked the correctional officer's key fob to find the Chevy Equinox. That officer is now in an intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital in Kankakee, Bukowski said. The manhunt, meanwhile, continues for Taylor. He has a history of trouble with the law that predates his murder conviction, including an August 2009 sentence of five years, 10 months in Tennessee for robbery and resisting arrest. Taylor was on parole for that crime when he killed a man during a June 2013 botched robbery. A jury convicted him of murder in that incident in late February.

The special forces were on the ground in noncombat roles \"coordinating and guiding\" the battle against Houthi forces and fighters loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the source said. They also have helped parachute in weapons and communications equipment. Houthi rebels, meanwhile, withdrew from the presidential palace and other key parts of the southern port city of Aden following heavy Saudi airstrikes, according to the source. The withdrawal signaled a reversal from rebel gains the previous day, when Houthi forces seized the presidential palace. President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, who fled the country last month, had stayed for a period of time after Houthis secured control of the capital, Sanaa, in January. Houthis had controlled most large districts in Aden amid ongoing clashes. The latest action heats up an already intense conflict that could have ramifications across the Middle East. If the Saudi-led coalition of nine countries takes the fight to the ground in Yemen, the consequences could be severe. Houthis are battle-hardened guerrilla fighters and could cross into Saudi Arabia. They've already threatened suicide bomb attacks inside Saudi Arabia. Yemen, already the home base to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, teeters on the brink of becoming a failed state and an even more fertile breeding ground for extremism. The United Nations, citing reports from humanitarian partners, said 519 people have been killed and nearly 1,700 others wounded in the past two weeks. Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes and sought refuge in Djibouti and Somalia, Valerie Amos, under-secretary-general and emergency relief coordinator, said in a statement.

The Navy this week came across a Panamanian-registered cargo ship that had left an Iranian port, the official said. Based on the route of the ship from Iran to Yemen, the Navy declared it a \"vessel of interest\" and requested permission from the captain to search it.

To most of the outside world, this war-torn country is off limits, the weeks-long battle between Houthi rebels and Saudi-led coalition forces making it too dangerous to visit, and a no-fly zone rendering its international airport all but obsolete -- but on Tuesday, CNN was granted rare access on a desperate aid mission by Unicef, the United Nations Children's Fund. The airport has previously been bombed. Hostilities are likely to resume before the day is out: a brief, peaceful window has been delicately negotiated following a special request from the U.N. -- but it won't last long. Unicef hopes there will be just enough time to deliver vital food and supplies, helping to ease the country's worsening humanitarian crisis. More than 100,000 Yemeni civilians have fled their homes since fighting began, and OCHA, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, estimates that 15.9 million people here are in need of assistance. The main terminal at El Rahaba Airport is under the control of the Houthi rebels. We can't get near it for fear of provoking trouble. But there is plenty to be done out on the tarmac. Within minutes of touching down, a small army of aid workers is busy unloading huge mounds of much-needed provisions. Gusts of wind blow dust across the runway, as crates and pallets of emergency nutrition and medical equipment pile up rapidly beside the plane. Unicef's team has overcome more than one hurdle just getting it this far -- now they'll have to work out how to distribute it to those most in need in a country paralyzed by a lack of resources. Even before Saudi airstrikes, most of the 25 million people in Yemen required humanitarian assistance to meet their most basic needs, according to the United Nations. As they work, an Air India plane is taxiing away from the terminal. Thousands have fled the country on evacuation flights in recent weeks as the situation in Yemen has deteriorated. But for those who have nowhere else to go and no chance of a flight out, mercy missions by Unicef and other NGOs like it are the only hope.

A second man, who allegedly knew about the bomb plot but didn't call authorities, was charged with failing to report a felony. John T. Booker Jr. of Topeka, an American citizen also known as Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, was taken into custody near Manhattan, Kansas, in a van that contained what he thought was a bomb, the criminal complaint said. The \"bomb\" had actually been put together by two confidential informants with nonexplosive materials, the complaint said. Fort Riley's security was never breached and no people were in danger, the U.S. Justice Department said in a press release. Booker enlisted in the Army last year and was due to ship out to basic training April 7, 2014, said Army spokesman Wayne Hall. The criminal complaint said the FBI questioned him March 24, 2014 about comments posted on Facebook, such as, \"Getting ready to be killed in jihad is a HUGE adrenaline rush. I am so nervous. NOT because I'm scare to die but I am eager to meet my lord.\" Booker waived his Miranda rights and told the agents he enlisted to commit an insider attack against American soldiers like Maj. Nidal Hassan had done at Fort Hood, Texas, the complaint said. Hassan opened fire in a building in November 2009, killing 13 people and wounding more than 30. His enlistment was terminated March 24, 2014, at the request of Army Criminal Investigation Command, Hall said. Booker began communicating with a confidential informant later in 2014, the complaint said, and often talked about his plans to engage in violent jihad in support of ISIS. He and the informant watched ISIS videos together, the complaint said, and Booker talked about how he wanted to go to Iraq and turn his weapon on American soldiers when ordered to shoot the enemy. On March 9, Booker said he believed ISIS wanted him to commit a truck bombing in the United States and thought a good target would be nearby Fort Riley, a large Army base that's home to the 1st Infantry Division, known as \"The Big Red One.\" Booker said \"that detonating a suicide bomb is his No. 1 aspiration because he couldn't be captured, all evidence would be destroyed and he would be guaranteed to hit his target,\" the criminal complaint said. He made a video with a Fort Riley airfield in the background and said ISIS was coming to kill American soldiers, both abroad and in the United States, the complaint said. Booker acquired components for a bomb and rented a storage locker to store the components, the complaint said. The plan was for confidential informants to build a bomb and for Booker to drive to Fort Riley and detonate it, the complaint said.

The warships are being deployed to monitor ships traveling from Iran that could be trafficking arms to Houthi rebels in Yemen, U.S. officials told CNN, saying the move was also meant to reassure allies in the region. \"By having American sea power in the region, we have created options for ourselves,\" said Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren. He noted that the nine ships in the Iranian convoy were cargo ships, but he declined to specify what they were carrying beyond \"containers.\" International officials are concerned that Iran could surreptitiously attempt to transfer weaponry to the Houthis. President Barack Obama told MSNBC that the United States has been clear in its messages to Tehran on sending weapons to Houthi rebels inside Yemen. \"What we've said to them is if there are weapons delivered to factions within Yemen that could threaten navigation, that's a problem,\" Obama said in the interview, a clip of which aired on NBC Nightly News. \"We're not sending them obscure messages, we send them very direct messages about it,\" Obama said. While the Iranian ships remain in international waters, the U.S. and other partner nations can keep an eye on the Iranian ships to see if they move toward Yemeni territorial waters. But it would be an extraordinary step and certainly not a foregone conclusion that the U.S. would attempt to board an Iranian ship if it entered Yemeni waters, U.S. officials said. \"I want to be very clear just so that no one has the wrong impression. They are not there to intercept Iranian ships,\" State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters Tuesday. \"The purpose of moving them is only to ensure that the shipping lanes remain open and safe.\" Warren too added that he was unaware of any direct contact between the American and Iranian vessels at this point. The Obama administration and U.S. defense officials maintain the primary purpose of positioning additional U.S. warships in the region is to ensure the free flow of commerce through established international shipping lanes and to ensure maritime security in the region. There is a message for Iran as well. A U.S. military official told CNN that aircraft from aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt are also conducting \"manned reconnaissance\" to monitor all maritime traffic moving through the area the Roosevelt is operating in to determine what is going on there in order to assist in making informed decisions. This official stressed that the repositioning of U.S. ships in the region was taken in order to assure the freedom of navigation through established international shipping lanes and ensuring maritime security and not to interdict Iranian ships.

The NYPD bomb squad on Friday examined a locker thought to contain a suspicious package and found it was empty, a law enforcement official said. Police declared the scene clear at 3:15 p.m. Other lockers checked as a precautionary measure, the law enforcement source said. Images posted on social media showed crowds of visitors walking on ramps to awaiting ferries. All civilians were evacuated and only emergency personnel remained on Liberty Island, according to police. The fire department had EMS units there as a precaution. Mike Burke, the head of Statue Cruises, which operates the ferry to the island, said: \"Our first priority is the safety and well being of all of our visitors.\" Burke said about 2,700 people were safely transported from the island and offered full refunds. Service to Liberty Island is to resume at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. Shortly after 11 a.m., the National Park Service was informed that a 911 caller made a threat to blow up the Statue of Liberty -- which led to the evacuation, according to park service spokeswoman Mindi Rambo. A sweep by U.S. Park Police canine units \"alerted on an area of interest near the lockers at the base\" of the Statue of Liberty, Rambo said. Park police had notified the NYPD, which dispatched its bomb squad, officials said. It is not uncommon to get false positives from the bomb-sniffing dogs. \"Following their investigation, it was determined that there was not an explosive device,\" Rambo said. Approximately 3.5 million people visit the Statue of Liberty every year. Visitors must pass through security screening similar to airport security procedures, according to the National Park Service. Previously, the statue closed in November 2012 because of significant damage sustained from Superstorm Sandy. It reopened on July 4, 2013, with a ribbon cutting ceremony and long lines of tourists. The last time the island shut down to the public was in October 2013, when it closed for 12 days because of the a government shutdown.

In the end it was a different but familiar name who won the Grand National on Saturday. 25-1 outsider Many Clouds, who had shown little form going into the race, won by a length and a half, ridden by jockey Leighton Aspell. Aspell won last year's Grand National too, making him the first jockey since the 1950s to ride back-to-back winners on different horses. \"It feels wonderful, I asked big questions,\" Aspell said of Many Clouds, moments after his victory. \"Over the fences he was awesome. I was just hoping his batteries would last and they did,\" he added. No fairytale .

His horse Shutthefrontdoor was in the leading group as it negotiated the likes for Becher's Brooke and The Chair, some of the toughest jumps in racing. Last week the 40-year-old Ulsterman, who has won an astonishing 4,356 races, announced he would retire if he won the Grand National for the second time in his career. Shutthefrontdoor was heavily backed by the betting public sensing a storybook conclusion to McCoy's career.

I should have expected that Dr. Oz would keep standing in the face of charges from a group of colleagues that he pushed \"quack treatments ... for personal financial gain.\" And thanks to the ineptitude of his critics this round, he may have actually boosted his media empire. But he's increasingly serving himself at a cost to Columbia University and New York Presbyterian Hospital. If Dr. Oz was ever going to go down, surely his ship would've sunk last summer in the wake of his disastrous testimony before a Senate subcommittee. He was ostensibly invited to speak as an expert witness about bogus weight loss products, . But Sen. Claire McCaskill, chairwoman of the Senate's Consumer Protection Panel, instead made him her chief example of the kind of snake oil salesmen that keep hoodwinking consumers into thinking there's a quick fix for their expanding waistlines. John Oliver subsequently eviscerated Oz on his hit HBO show \"Last Week Tonight.\" In a segment that's now garnered over 6 million YouTube views, Oliver makes quick work of Oz's claims about \"magic\" green coffee beans, a product that's now earned a $9 million FTC fine for its false marketing claims. Despite his utter humiliation, Dr. Oz soldiered on, with his university and hospital continuing to stand by him, and with Harpo Productions and Sony, who co-produce \"The Dr. Oz Show,\" fully behind his program. If the U.S. Senate couldn't bring him down, what made this particular collection of 10 doctors think they could do it with their recent letter to Columbia University, where Dr. Oz holds a tenured professorship and administrative position in the Department of Surgery and performs his duties at Columbia-affiliated New York Presbyterian Hospital? The doctors insisted that the university must disassociate itself from Dr. Oz for his now well-established tendency to promote cure-alls more befitting 1915 than 2015. Turnabout is fair play. And Oz and his producers responded with alacrity, slicing and dicing his ill-prepared challengers with an investigative segment that would've made \"Dateline\" proud. He and his team score points with me for pointing out the media's own failings in delightedly circulating the letter without looking into the backgrounds of anyone involved. It's a simple matter to question ulterior motives when the letter itself takes pains to highlight Oz's critical attitude toward GMO foods, not one of his greatest indiscretions by a long shot. Dr. Oz after all has conducted experiments on his TV audience, apparently in violation of the rules of his own academic medical center. He has a propensity to spout laughably definitive statements with little to no scientific support, such as his advice that \"every kid in America ought to be on Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D from either the sun or a pill\" because this regimen will help them withstand concussions.

+{"article": "(CNN)So now the real trial is underway: What does the surviving Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, deserve and why? What's he likely to get and why? Let's start where the penalty phase starts, with the prosecution's case. Prosecutors have listed, as they must, the aggravating circumstances that make this horrific mass murderer deserve the harshest punishment. The killing was \"heinous, cruel and depraved.\" He placed a bomb in a crowd, set it to kill and maim children and adults indiscriminately -- if that's not heinous, cruel and depraved, what is? Cruelty classically consists of a desire to cause pain and suffering in innocent victims, or, at the opposite extreme, it reflects a cold, callous indifference. Tsarnaev displayed both. Cruelty really provides us a lens into the worst of the worst of the worst. The number of dead from the bombing (three) and injured (260), including dozens maimed, also elevate these murders. The victims were vulnerable -- no one more so than 8-year-old Martin Richard. For 2,500 years, we have proclaimed that all human beings are equally valuable, yet we identify certain victims as especially worthy, and those who prey on them as especially culpable. The prosecution's emphasis: The killings involved \"substantial planning and premeditation\" and a betrayal of the United States -- the very country that gave Tsarnaev shelter and citizenship. And then there's the selection of the site, the Boston Marathon, an \"iconic\" event. And then there's Tsarnaev's lack of remorse -- opening day, the prosecutor's final shot of Tsarnaev locked up, giving the security camera the finger. From his blood-scrawled justification in the boat after the bombing to this day, the message has been: Screw you, society. Tsarnaev may take the stand to beg for mercy, but only if he now feels or at least can fake remorse. And don't confuse regret with remorse. No doubt Tsarnaev regrets his present predicament, regrets the negative publicity he's brought his friends and family and most poignantly regrets running over and killing his older brother while trying to escape. But that's a far cry from genuine remorse for the victims he's killed and maimed. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was the lesser of two evils, the defense will insist over and over. Tamerlan was the source of his younger brother's malicious intent. As the prisoners inside Washington D.C.'s now defunct Lorton Central Prison once described the street code to me: No snitching, but if someone dies, then \"the dead guy did everything.\" So the defense will claim that Dzhokhar was not fully responsible because he could not be. After all, he was only 19. Biologists teach us our brains don't fully develop until we're 25. Thus, their argument goes, a 19-year-old simply can't be the worst of the worst. In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the death penalty for those younger than 18 when they killed, repeatedly quoting an article by psychologists Laurence Steinberg and Elizabeth Scott. But in the same article, these leading developmental psychologists themselves characterized it as an \"open question whether under real-world conditions the decision making of mid-adolescents is truly", "summary": "Robert Blecker: In sentencing phase, the prosecution lays out wealth of evidence that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev deserves penalty reserved for the worst of the worst .

That was July 22, 2007, the day his life changed forever. It was the last time he used drugs, the first and only time he was arrested, and the first and only time to fully withdrawal from heroin. \"I knew that my whole world was over, and I thought I was going to die because I never had been so sick,\" Sideri said. \"I had nothing to my name, and I didn't know if anyone else in the world even knew I was there.\" Nearly eight years later, Sideri looks back on his drug-using days like it was another person's life. Sideri was your average student in high school playing on the hockey team, occasionally drinking and smoking weed until he began using drugs on a daily basis. He can't pinpoint exactly when it started or how or why, but it got to the point where he was smoking marijuana before, during and after school, and experimenting with mushrooms and acid. \"Anything else that I saw, I would have tried,\" he says now. His grades dropped, he lost his eligibility to play sports, but when he was drunk or high, none of that mattered. \"I didn't have to worry about what anyone thought, I could just go to a fantasy land and not have worries,\" Sideri said. After graduating from high school in 2000, Sideri began abusing Percocet and OxyContin, opium-containing painkillers. As his tolerance to the pills built up, he began snorting the drugs to feel the effects faster. Then he moved on to snorting heroin. \"I wasn't getting the strong effects of OxyContin anymore, and I was already sniffing something else, so it didn't seem like a leap,\" he said. \"It didn't seem like the heroin I grew up knowing about.\" By 2005, he had been snorting heroin daily for two years. Even as he was doing more and more drugs, he was in denial about his addiction since he had a job with his family's wholesale snack supply business and a second job as a nightclub bouncer, worked out at the gym and had his own car and a place to live. \"On the outside, I had it all,\" Sideri said. That all changed the day he stuck out his arm and had someone put in a needle. Once Sideri started shooting up heroin, his life spiraled downward in only four months. He was hiding from his loved ones and his drug problem was obvious to everyone around him. He still thought he could control his drug use and quit on his own. \"I really thought I could stop the next day, but I always had an excuse,\" Sideri said. \"I was closed off from the rest of the world. ...

He's accused of orchestrating the shooting death of Lloyd. During closing arguments, Prosecutor William McCauley called the football player the trigger man. Jury deliberations began Tuesday. Even after closing arguments, the motive is still unclear but not legally required to get a conviction. Still, jurors like to know a motive. Evidence collected in Lloyd's death led to two more murder charges against Hernandez in a separate case in Boston. It's scheduled to begin in May, but officials say it will be pushed back. The trial has involved a complicated cast of characters, including two sisters who played important roles in the lives of Hernandez and Lloyd . Here is a primer: . Inside the case against Aaron Hernandez . Odin Lloyd . Odin Lloyd was a 27-year-old semi-pro football player for the Boston Bandits. He was found dead on June 17, 2013, less than a mile from Hernandez's home in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. He had been shot six times. Lloyd met Hernandez while dating Shaneah Jenkins, the sister of Hernandez's fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins. Hernandez is charged with orchestrating Lloyd's execution. Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado . Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado were killed outside a Boston nightclub on July 16, 2012. Earlier that evening, prosecutors say, de Abreu accidentally bumped into Hernandez, spilling a drink. Later that night, Hernandez was driving an SUV and allegedly pulled up alongside de Abreu and Furtado's car near the nightclub and fired a .38-caliber revolver at them, killing them. The trial judge in the Lloyd case barred any mention of the Boston deaths, ruling it would be prejudicial. Alexander Bradley . Authorities say Alexander Bradley is Hernandez's former right hand man who was allegedly with Hernandez on the night de Abreu and Furtado were killed. He is not facing any charges in that case, but he is jailed on unrelated charges. He is suing Hernandez for allegedly shooting him in the face in February 2013, four months before Lloyd's death. Bradley says Hernandez accused him of \"disrespecting him\" over a cell phone left in a Miami strip club. Bradley testified against Hernandez in Lloyd's death, telling jurors he saw Hernandez handling what appeared to be a Glock semi-automatic pistol during a trip to Florida. The trial barred him from saying he accused Hernandez of shooting him in the face. Carlos Ortiz . Carlos Ortiz, nicknamed Charlie Boy, is also charged with murder in the death of Lloyd and has pleaded not guilty.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's clear from Hillary Clinton's campaign rollout -- a video announcement/campaign ad/short film that debuted Sunday afternoon -- that she will make women and being a woman central to her outreach. In case you're skeptical, Vox has posted a handy \"by the numbers\" for her campaign video, and there are 38 people besides Clinton in the two-minute ad. Twenty of them are women. There are three separate mentions of motherhood. This is all fine and good (and predictable) if you acknowledge that the proportion of women who vote has exceeded the proportion of men who vote in every presidential election since 1980. And let's not overlook the fact that Clinton is in fact a woman, and that's a fine thing to celebrate. But in reality, she doesn't have to wonder if a woman-centered campaign is the best strategy. She can simply look back to the most recent elections to see that overplaying to one half of the eligible-voting population failed spectacularly all over the country, in red and blue states, when that strategy was employed by both male and female candidates. As I've previously written, the 2014 midterm elections saw the death of a political meme: the \"war on women.\" Granted, that's not because Republicans convinced the country that they were the party of women. But it is noteworthy that Democrats who overtly pandered to women at the expense of real issues (and men) crashed and burned. To wit: . In Colorado, Sen. Mark Udall was nicknamed \"Mark Uterus\" for all the time he spent fear-mongering on women's reproductive issues, only to end up, according to exit polls, eight points ahead among women. His opponent, Cory Gardner, finished 17 points ahead among men. In New York, a Democratic candidate for Congress, Martha Robertson, drew laughs from the audience during a debate for accusing her opponent of engaging in a \"war on women.\" To repeat, she was a woman, a Democrat, in New York. In Louisiana, Sen. Mary Landrieu sought to give her ailing campaign a boost in by part blaming sexism for Democrats' lack of popularity in the South. Not surprisingly, Southerners voted for her opponent, Bill Cassidy. In Texas, where liberal Wendy Davis ran almost entirely on an abortion-rights platform, she accused Republicans of sexism for daring to scrutinize her inaccurate biography. Her opponent, Greg Abbott, won by 20 points, and Davis only ended up with 47% of the women vote. Whether in Texas or Colorado, New York or Louisiana, voters made it clear they cared about more than just reproductive issues and weren't going to be bullied into voting Democratic by false cries of sexism. But while Democrats were screaming about the Republicans' \"war on women,\" few in the media acknowledged that the Democrats' deficit among men was actually greater than the Republicans' deficit among women.

+{"article": "(CNN)When Bruce Jenner told ABC's Diane Sawyer and the world on Friday night that \"Yes, for all intents and purposes, I'm a woman,\" the declaration wasn't particularly surprising. Paparazzi have been stalking the former Olympic champion for months, breathlessly documenting his increasingly feminine appearance down to his lip gloss, pierced ears and French manicure. The social media reaction? A cheer, a shrug -- and not much else. Except the occasional prod at Jenner also being Republican. Of course, Jenner's family owned the moment, being the reality TV mavens they are -- the Jenners and the Kardashians. \"So very proud of you, my hero,\" tweeted daughter Kendall Jenner. His other daughter Kylie Jenner expressed mixed emotions. \"Understandingly, this has been very hard for me. You will hear what I have to say when I'm ready to but ... this isn't about me. I'm so proud of you, Dad. You are so brave. My beautiful Hero,\" she said on Twitter. Ex-wife Kris Jenner was equally supportive. \"Not only was I able to call him my husband for 25 years and father of my children, I am now able to call him my hero,\" she said. Stepdaughters Kim, Khlo\u00e9 and Kourtney Kardashian also joined the family chorus. \"Love is the courage to live the truest, best version of yourself. Bruce is love. I love you Bruce. #ProudDaughter,\" Kim tweeted. \"Just finished watching the #BruceJennerInterview with the family. Bruzer, I'm soooo proud of you! Dads really are heros \u2764\ufe0f,\" Khlo\u00e9 said on Twitter. \"Couldn't be a more proud daughter. With courage and bravery, let's change the world. I am honored to stand by Bruce's side and support him,\" Kourtney said. The entertainment industry was quick to embrace the news. Lady Gaga has long supported lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. \"We have the chance to write this moment in history together,\" she tweeted. \"Let's empower people like Bruce all over the world by being loving & not mean.\ud83d\udc97\" Transgender actress Laverne Cox of \"Orange is the New Black\" gave a shout out. \"Sending lots of love and support to #BruceJenner and their family tonight,\" she tweeted. \"It is always brave to stand in one's truth. Congrats darling.\" The Jenner interview was a key moment for advocacy groups like GLAAD and the National Center for Transgender Equality, thrusting LGBT issues into the spotlight. \"Today, millions of people learned that someone they know is transgender,\" GLAAD tweeted. \"Welcome, #BruceJenner,\" Trans Equality tweeted. \"Thank you for your courage and bravery.\" As with all things, public opinion is hardly unanimous and social media only represents the views of those who post. Still, there were few detractors. One man used an Old Testament Bible verse as the basis for his stance. \"GOP Logic: Bruce Jenner is not Gay...but Transgender,\" Benny said on Twitter. \"Still forbidden by the Bible but we cherrypick.\" This woman wasn't sure what to make of Jenner's announcement. \"Still confused about Bruce Jenner becoming a woman...,\" tweeted HugHey. And what would a social media event be without a good dose of humor. Many folks seemed to be more", "summary": "Social media largely supports Jenner .

Police arrested the suspect at 11 p.m. Tuesday. \"After developing information that George Davon Kennedy was the third suspect seen in the video of the gang rape, BCSO Investigators obtained a warrant for his arrest,\" according to a news release. Investigators discovered that Kennedy had family in DeKalb County, Georgia, and reached out to the sheriff's office there. Deputies in DeKalb, in the Atlanta area, tracked down Kennedy and arrested him on a charge of sexual assault by multiple perpetrators, the Bay County Sheriff's Office said. Kennedy is from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and has been a student at Middle Tennessee State University, the sheriff's office said. Previously, Ryan Calhoun and Delonte Martistee were arrested and charged with sexual battery by multiple perpetrators, the sheriff's office said. Calhoun was released Saturday after posting $50,000 bond; Martistee remains in Bay County Jail, a county deputy said. Troy University in Alabama said the two are students and have been \"placed on temporary suspension from school per the university's standards of conduct and disciplinary procedures. Martistee, a member of the track and field team, has also been removed from the team.\" Martistee is represented by a public defender. Calhoun's legal representation is unclear. No public statement has been made on either's behalf. The arrests come after a woman told police she may have been drugged and gang-raped on a beach behind a popular club in broad daylight as bystanders watched. The woman didn't recall the assault, police say, but she saw the video of her alleged assault on the news, and though the footage had to be blurred, she recognized her tattoos and contacted authorities. It's not the first time this has happened to a young woman in Panama City Beach, authorities say. Four young men were involved in the assault, Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen said, and while he previously said federal marshals were trying to track down a third suspect and investigators were seeking a possible witness, it's unclear if the person arrested Tuesday was someone the police had been looking for. \"There's hundreds, hundreds of people standing there -- watching, looking, seeing, hearing what's going on,\" McKeithen said. \"And yet our culture and our society and our young people have got to the point where obviously this is acceptable somewhere. I will tell you it is not acceptable in Bay County.\" Authorities have said they plan to interview the woman and show her the full video to see whether she knows the attackers and can help identify other suspects, said Ruth Corley, spokeswoman for the sheriff's office. Authorities are pressing charges, and the woman plans to cooperate, Corley said. Investigators were to meet with her this week.

Evacuations in the region involved not only people but animals as well. \"There is more seismic activity ... and we think there will be more activity today,\" Helmuth Huerta, a spokesman for Chile's National Geological and Mining Service, told CNN. The volcano has already erupted twice this week, spewing ash to a depth of about 23\u00bd inches (60 centimeters) in some places, according to the Ministry of Interior and Public Safety. New advisories say airborne ash could reach an altitude of 12,000 feet. Calbuco erupted twice in 24 hours, the geological agency said early Thursday. The agency said it was evaluating a spectacular nighttime eruption but indicated it was \"stronger than the first one.\" In Ensenada, houses, trees and even sheep were blanketed gray with ash, CNN's Shasta Darlington reported. People were removing salmon -- a staple of the local economy -- amid fear of contamination from ash and lava. Trucks were used to evacuate farm animals and pets. Authorities issued a red alert for the popular tourist towns of Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas in the south. People were being evacuated to Port Montt on 22 buses and military trucks, the interior ministry said. Officials said that volcanic flows from Calbuco caused rising water levels in the R\u00edo Blanco. A 12-mile (20-kilometer) exclusion zone was established around the crater. Military and police forces were helping evacuate more than 4,400 residents, the Interior Ministry said. An additional 2,000 residents of Chamiza were being evacuated as a preventive measure after river levels rose due to volcanic flows. More evacuations were expected in Lago Chapo and Correntoso. The first eruption on Wednesday set off a bit of a panic in the region. \"At the beginning, it was small, and later, the cloud grew. And later, there was a huge cloud over you and true terror starts,\" a Puerto Montt resident said. Another person said: \"It was impressive to see an enormous mushroom cloud, with the immense force of the volcano, and to see the ashes. At that point, there was a lot of panic, lots of chaos, traffic jams, people going to supermarkets, everyone looking for water, trying to take out money from the ATMs.\" Magma expanse under Yellowstone supervolcano more vast than thought . The eruption is a first for many in the region. The last major eruption was 1962. There was a minor eruption in 1972. Calbuco also belched out a bit of gas and smoke in 1996. Alejandro Verges, regional director of the Interior Ministry, said that officials are concerned there might be a third eruption. \"The situation is relatively calm right now, although people are understandably anxious about what could happen tonight,\" he said.", "summary": "Volcano already has erupted twice this week .

Steep slopes and small winding roads through deep river valleys greet us as we make our way to a town where Nepalese and international medical teams are treating the injured, in much less than ideal circumstances. The view along the six-hour journey from the capital is deceptive. Although I see numerous landslides, I am surprised that the villages we are driving through are relatively unaffected. During the entire journey, I notice only about 10 collapsed or seriously damaged houses. One of the biggest challenges rescue workers are facing in Nepal is reaching affected people in remote mountainous areas. One of them is Gorkha, a district northwest of Kathmandu. The town we were visiting looks intact. Some houses have cracks, and I see a few collapsed brick walls. Most of the shops and businesses are open. But our first stop at the district hospital brings us into the full reality of the human catastrophe. The hospital campus is overflowing with patients. The facility is simply not big enough to handle such calamity. The injured are not from the town of Gorkha, which lies near the top of one of the numerous mountain ranges. They are from northern part of the district, where some 200,000 people live. To accommodate all the casualties, the hospital built a tarpaulin shelter over the parking lot. At a time of our arrival, there are about 20 patients lying on mattresses on a dusty concrete floor. The youngest is 10, the oldest in his 70s.

+{"article": "(CNN)A year ago Bloomberg published a story with the following headline: Mike Pence, a Koch Favorite, Mulls 2016 Run for President. The story ticked off items on Pence's conservative things-to-do list while also noting his close ties to the deep-pocketed Koch brothers, as well as other right-wing lobbying groups. Last August the Indiana governor was in Dallas for an Americans for Prosperity event; the group is backed by the conservative Koch brothers, and supported Gov. Pence's tax-slashing budget. Now, Pence is drawing huge heat for his controversial decision to sign a religious freedom law last week that opens the door to discrimination against gays and lesbians. Why would Pence ignore the pleas of Indiana's Chamber of Commerce as well as the Republican mayor of his state capital and sign such a bill? Because there's a very powerful wing of his party that wants a conservative as its 2016 candidate and this bill was Pence's way of shoring up his street cred. It is also the reason why Republican Jeb Bush, Pence's fellow White House hopeful, who is viewed as a little light in that category, was first to rush in to defend Pence and the law. One lesson here: Just because more than 70% of the country now lives in states where same-sex marriage is legal does not mean 70% of the country is happy about it. Backlash aside, the fact is Pence has scored a lot of points this week among ultraconservatives. And while that may not be enough to get him over this political hump, the very public debate that now embroils him \u2014 and Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and likely 14 other states considering similar proposals this year -- is more than enough to drag the entire Republican field farther to the right than the party had hoped. Pence: 'Was I expecting this kind of backlash? Heavens no.' For there is no way a Republican can get through the pending primary without denouncing LGBT rights, which unfortunately will turn numerous Americans into single-issue voters. I foolishly hoped the issue of LGBT rights would be a bit player in the 2016 general election, overshadowed by foreign policy and the economy. Instead it looks like it's going to be dragged down to a replay of Pat Buchanan's \"cultural war\" speech, during which he told the 1992 Republican National Convention: \"We stand with (George H.W. Bush) against the amoral idea that gay and lesbian couples should have the same standing in law as married men and women\" and later followed with \"There is a religious war going on in this country. It is a cultural war, as critical to the kind of nation we shall be as the Cold War itself. For this war is for the soul of America.\" Progressives may enjoy watching Pence's temporary fall from grace, but his policy rhetoric has echoed that of 2016 hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who has indicated a federal ban on same-sex marriage is not off the GOP table.

+{"article": "(CNN)At least two people were taken into custody as protesters upset over the death of Freddie Gray scuffled Thursday evening with police on the streets of Baltimore. Tensions rose as demonstrators confronted police, several of whom shouted: \"Back up!\" The Baltimore Police Department said the two were detained for disorderly conduct and destruction of property. There were no other arrests and the protests -- on the whole -- were peaceful. Protesters rallied at City Hall before marching to a police station. Some walked through traffic. In one instance, they surrounded a police car. Gray died Sunday, one week after he was arrested by Baltimore police. At some point, he suffered a severe spinal cord injury. His family said his voice box was crushed and his neck snapped before he slipped into a coma and died. \"The police have a lot of questions that need to be answered,\" Andrew O'Connell, an attorney for the Gray family, told CNN. \"What was the reasonable suspicion? Why were they arresting our client? These are pretty big questions that need to be answered.\" \"He had no weapon in his hand. He was committing no crime and he wasn't hurting anybody. The police had no reasonable suspicion to stop or arrest him,\" the attorney said. While Baltimore police say five of the six officers involved in the arrest have provided statements to investigators, the department has not released details of what the officers said or how Gray might have suffered the fatal injury. Protesters are upset over the apparent lack of information, and -- recently -- a police union's comparison of the demonstrations to a \"lynch mob.\" \"While we appreciate the right of our citizens to protest and applaud the fact that, to date, the protests have been peaceful, we are very concerned about the rhetoric of the protests,\" the Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3 said in a statement issued Wednesday. \"In fact, the images seen on television look and sound much like a lynch mob in that they are calling for the immediate imprisonment of these officers without them ever receiving the due process that is the constitutional right of every citizen, including law enforcement officers.\" Scenes from Baltimore . That comparison drew swift and sharp criticism, given the history of lynchings of African-Americans in the United States. Rooted in the racial ire of the Civil War, the extrajudicial mob killings of blacks, other minorities and people opposed to oppression of minorities were common in the segregated South. More than 4,000 people were murdered between 1877 and 1950 in 12 Southern states, according to a recent report. But lynchings weren't restricted to the South, and they have deeply scarred race relations in the country. \"Which one is the #LynchMob again?\" John Cotton tweeted, posting a photo of a peaceful protest next to photos of Gray during his arrest and hospitalization. \"The choice of words is not only ironic, it's sad,\" said O'Connell, the attorney for the Grays. \"Police officers are never the subject of a lynch mob.

+{"article": "(CNN)For five decades, Bikram Choudhury built an empire. The signature \"hot yoga\" bearing his name drew throngs of devotees, spawning studios teaching the practice all over the world. He became a spiritual leader and celebrity icon with a long list of famous followers and friends. But now, the Bikram brand is in jeopardy, with some yoga studios dropping his name after the guru was accused of rape or sexual assault by six of his former students. Responding to the allegations for the first time in an exclusive interview with CNN, Choudhury said he wanted to set the record straight. \"I want to show you,\" he said, \"tell the truth to the world, that I never assaulted them.\" Choudhury repeatedly denied sexually assaulting anyone, saying he would never resort to physical aggression to have sex because he has so many offers. \"Women like me. Women love me,\" he said. \"So if I really wanted to involve the women, I don't have to assault the women.\" He said he feels sorry for his accusers, claiming they've been manipulated by lawyers to lie. \"I have nothing against them. I don't think they're bad people. It's not them saying that,\" he said. \"They are influenced by somebody.\" But Choudhury's accusers say he's the one who's been lying. \"This stuff that he's teaching is really good stuff, but he's hurting people and hiding behind this good stuff so people don't believe he's capable of hurting people,\" said Sarah Baughn, a former student who now accuses Choudhury of sexual assault. \"He's got to stop lying behind it. And he's got to stop doing this to people.\" Choudhury is the founder of Bikram's Yoga College of India. He's featured prominently on its website, which details his system of performing 26 unique yoga poses while in a very hot room. With studios heated to 105 degrees, he credits the steamy, sweaty stretches with transforming people's bodies and minds. He said he's guided by a deep calling to help others. Civil lawsuits filed in Los Angeles Superior Court tell the story of a different Bikram Choudhury, describing him as someone who preyed on young women who looked to him for guidance. Besides Baughn's claim of sexual assault, five other women have come forward with civil lawsuits claiming Choudhury raped them. The Los Angeles Police Department, without explanation, declined to pursue criminal charges in the cases. At first, Baughn said, she felt Bikram Yoga would be the answer to her years of back pain and depression. \"It was really quite life-changing for me. ... I felt good for the first time in a while,\" she said, describing her first class. Baughn said her father helped her take out a $7,000 loan so she could attend Bikram's teacher training. But within the first week, she said, one episode left her feeling uncomfortable. In a meeting in Choudhury's office, she said, the guru seemed to make an advance. \"He said, 'What should we do about us? We need to make this a relationship. ... I've known you from a past life.'

On Thursday, Apple released a new version of its mobile operating system that includes more diversity than ever when it comes to the race, ethnicity and sexual orientation of its emojis -- those cute little images that users can insert into text messages or emails when words alone just won't cut it. The reaction to this new lineup is, as should be expected with almost anything new in today's hypersensitive climate, a range of cheers and jeers. Why is any of this important, you may ask? For many, these images are far more than tiny clip art for texting. Rather they are seen as recognition that their own ethnicity, sexual orientation, race or even hair color is part of mainstream America -- despite what others might say. This matters in a digital age where texting is how most people communicate and represent themselves dozens -- if not hundreds -- of times every day. Think receiving a text of an image of a person smiling. Or more accurately, think of a white face smiling because up until Thursday's update, all the emojis had pale skin. But that has all changed. Now there's a range of emoji skin tones to pick from, including yellow, brown and black. I'm sure few people will be upset with this development. But how about in December? Why? Now that will be able to choose the skin tones for each human emoji, and that will also include ... Santa Claus. That shrieking sound you may have heard was from Fox News' Megyn Kelly, who famously stated in 2013 that Santa Claus is absolutely, definitely and without a doubt a white guy. In fact, thanks to Apple, we may even see Brown Santa emojis this December. (Could that mean he's a Muslim Santa?! Cue even more shrieking from Fox News.) There is more. Apple has now given us gay and lesbian couple emojis, kissing with a heart over their heads. This inclusiveness was cheered by at least one gay news service on Twitter. It's not yet clear if a person who likes to use same-sex kissing emoji couples can be denied service by a person who objects on grounds of \"religious liberty.\" But it would be interesting to hear what any of the 2016 GOP presidential candidates might have to say about \"gay emojis.\" And I would predict some conservative will claim that the kissing gay emojis will turn children gay. The fact is, when you embrace diversity, you will still leave out other minority groups. Redheads, for example, are pretty pissed off because there are no emojis featuring their hair color. In fact, supporters of a redheaded emoji have started a petition that has already garnered several thousand signatures. Even expanding the flags represented by emojis, as Apple has done, comes at some peril. Apparently Canada is overjoyed that finally Apple has included it.

+{"article": "(CNN)As Saudi forces pounded southern Yemen with a fresh series of airstrikes Wednesday, Houthi rebels called for peace talks. The U.N.-sponsored talks should resume \"but only after a complete halt of attacks,\" Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam said in a Facebook post. The previous round of talks between Houthi rebels and the government of Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi failed in January after rebels attacked the President's personal residence and presidential palace in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital. On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia announced the end of its Operation Decisive Storm, a nearly monthlong air campaign against Houthi positions. The Saudi-led coalition said a new initiative was underway, Operation Renewal of Hope, focused on the political process. But less than 24 hours later, after rebel forces attacked a Yemeni government military brigade, the airstrikes resumed, according to security sources in Taiz. Five airstrikes targeted a weapons depot in the province late Wednesday, two Taiz security officials said. Explosions lasted for about 40 minutes, they said. It was unclear whether it was a resumption of the operation or a short-term series of strikes. Meanwhile, Houthis released Yemeni Defense Minister Mahmoud al-Subaihi in Sanaa on Wednesday, according to a senior Saudi source speaking on condition of anonymity. The Houthis had said they detained the defense minister at an air base near the Yemeni port city of Aden on March 26, shortly before the Saudis began their airstrike campaign. The rebels captured the base that day as part of an advance on the Aden area. The United Nations demanded al-Subaihi's release earlier this month. Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners launched airstrikes on Houthi positions across Yemen starting on March 26, hoping to wipe out the Iranian-allied rebel group that overthrew the government and seized power. The Saudis say they want to restore the Yemeni government -- a key U.S. ally in the fight against al Qaeda -- which was kicked out of the capital by the rebels earlier this year. This month, Saudi officials said airstrikes have degraded Houthi-controlled military infrastructure, including key buildings in Sanaa. The campaign achieved its objectives \"by a very good planning, very precise execution, by the courage of our pilots, our sailors, our soldiers,\" said Brig. Gen. Ahmed Asiri, a Saudi military spokesman. A senior Saudi official told CNN that the Houthis agreed to \"nearly all demands\" of the U.N. Security Council. Former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his family will leave Yemen and never return for a position in politics, the source said. A statement from the Saudi Embassy in Washington outlined objectives of the next phase of operations, including protecting civilians, enhancing humanitarian and medical assistance, confronting terrorism and creating an international coalition to provide maritime security. Ground troops will continue to protect the border and confront any attempts to destabilize the situation, Asiri said. Military action will be taken if needed.

Photographer Ken Hermann visited the market for his project \"Flower Man,\" which is a series of portraits that casts light upon the people behind the petals. When Hermann was in Kolkata working on another assignment, he went to the market as a tourist. After that first encounter with Malik Ghat, his captivation with the market did not diminish and he became intent on returning. \"(The flower sellers) woke my curiosity. But at that time, I didn't really have the time to do the project,\" Hermann said. \"And this idea just kind of stuck in my head for almost two years.\" Hermann was able to spend about 10 days at the market, and did not allow any challenges to hinder the completion of \"Flower Man.\" He said that in addition to language barriers and the heat of Kolkata making communication complicated and shooting at certain times difficult, another adversity he faced was taking portraits of the female flower sellers. \"I had a really clear idea before I went (to the market) about what I wanted to do,\" Hermann said. \"I wanted to shoot the sellers -- the male and the female sellers.\" But none of the female flower sellers wished to be a part of Hermann's project, so he focused only on those who were interested in and comfortable with having their portrait taken. For the portraits, Hermann sought a neutral background. He first tried shooting under a bridge near the market, but quickly realized the lighting did not match the mood he wanted to create. He then decided to create the portraits by the Hooghly River. This allowed him to combine the hazy smog in the air, sunlight from above and studio lights of his own, which culminated to produce a surreal effect and overexposed look that made his subjects stand out. \"All the pictures are shot within noon and 3 p.m. when you have the sun straight from above, which gives (the portraits) this very hard light,\" Hermann said. \"And then I just used some studio light as a fill to make it a little bit more soft.\" Although the composition of the majority of Hermann's portraits encompasses the flower sellers in front of a neutral background, other portraits forgo this characteristic and consequently bring a sense of movement and fluidity to \"Flower Man.\" Viewers may see people or a dog appearing in a frame, or even birds flying in the sky and a boat floating in the water. One of the reasons Hermann did not create the flower sellers' portraits directly inside the market is because of the hectic atmosphere. Hermann compares Malik Ghat to the environments of financial trading and fish markets. \"It's impossible to shoot at the market, especially if you want a clean and quiet background, because there's so much going on,\" Hermann said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Seventy years ago, Anne Frank died of typhus in a Nazi concentration camp at the age of 15. Just two weeks after her supposed death on March 31, 1945, the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where she had been imprisoned was liberated -- timing that showed how close the Jewish diarist had been to surviving the Holocaust. But new research released by the Anne Frank House shows that Anne and her older sister, Margot Frank, died at least a month earlier than previously thought. Researchers re-examined archives of the Red Cross, the International Training Service and the Bergen-Belsen Memorial, along with testimonies of survivors. They concluded that Anne and Margot probably did not survive to March 1945 -- contradicting the date of death which had previously been determined by Dutch authorities. In 1944, Anne and seven others hiding in the Amsterdam secret annex were arrested and sent to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Anne Frank's final entry . That same year, Anne and Margot were separated from their mother and sent away to work as slave labor at the Bergen-Belsen camp in Germany. Days at the camp were filled with terror and dread, witnesses said. The sisters stayed in a section of the overcrowded camp with no lighting, little water and no latrine. They slept on lice-ridden straw and violent storms shredded the tents, according to the researchers. Like the other prisoners, the sisters endured long hours at roll call. Her classmate, Nannette Blitz, recalled seeing Anne there in December 1944: \"She was no more than a skeleton by then. She was wrapped in a blanket; she couldn't bear to wear her clothes anymore because they were crawling with lice.\" Listen to Anne Frank's friends describe her concentration camp experience . As the Russians advanced further, the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp became even more crowded, bringing more disease. A deadly typhus outbreak caused thousands to die each day. Typhus is an infectious disease caused by lice that breaks out in places with poor hygiene. The disease causes high fever, chills and skin eruptions. \"Because of the lice infesting the bedstraw and her clothes, Anne was exposed to the main carrier of epidemic typhus for an extended period,\" museum researchers wrote. They concluded that it's unlikely the sisters survived until March, because witnesses at the camp said the sisters both had symptoms before February 7. \"Most deaths caused by typhus occur around twelve days after the first symptoms appear,\" wrote authors Erika Prins and Gertjan Broek. The exact dates of death for Anne and Margot remain unclear.

+{"article": "Kiev, Ukraine (CNN)The question haunting Kiev is this: Who might be murdering allies of Ukraine's ousted President Viktor Yanukovych? The idea that this might be happening is not entirely new. But it muscled its way to the fore again this week with two high-profile shooting deaths in the Ukrainian capital -- one of a former member of parliament with ties to Yanukovych, the other of a Ukrainian journalist known for his pro-Russian views. Oleg Kalashnikov, the former member of parliament, was shot and killed shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday at the entrance to his apartment block. Kalashnikov, 52, was a member of the Party of Regions, the former ruling party in Ukraine, and was close to Yanukovych. Police are investigating the death as a murder. A day later, on Thursday, journalist Oles Buzyna, 45, was killed near his home by shots fired from a dark blue Ford Focus, Interior Ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko said. The car's license plates were reported to have been from either Latvia or Belorussia. The killings renewed speculation, sparked by earlier unusual deaths, about a conspiracy to kill people close to Yanukovych. At least three former members of parliament with the Party of Regions have reportedly committed suicide in the last seven weeks: . \u2022 On February 28, Mikhail Chechetov reportedly jumped from the window of his 17th-floor apartment in Kiev, having left a suicide note.

He, too, reportedly left a suicide note. \u2022 And three days later, on March 12, Oleksandr Peklushenko, another former member of parliament, was found in his house in Zaporizhzhya, in southeastern Ukraine, dead of a gunshot wound. Police are investigating various scenarios, including suicide. Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko said Peklushenko \"might have wanted to avoid punishment for using violence against protesters, which he was suspected of.\" Ukraine is deeply divided, and it has been for years. About a third of the population speaks Russian as opposed to Ukrainian. Whether the country should be drawn into the orbit of Russia or the West is a visceral issue, a question for many Ukrainians not of politics but of identity. Recent events have deepened the divide. In 2014, after Yanukovych turned his back on the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia, he was driven from office by mass demonstrations. And with Russia's subsequent annexation of Crimea and its support for Russian-speaking separatists in eastern Ukraine, the internecine animosity made the ugly transformation into war.

+{"article": "Western Australia (CNN)Many Australians are understandably appalled by the brutal and pointless executions of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran. The death penalty looks anachronistic and ineffective at the best of times, but to kill two people who had clearly made the most of their long periods of incarceration to transform themselves and make amends for their actions looks gratuitous and cruel. Consequently, Indonesia's actions raise more general questions about the powers we give to states -- or, more accurately, to those who control the coercive apparatus of the state at any particular moment. As German sociologist Max Weber pointed out, one of the key features of an effective state is that it has a monopoly over the legitimate use of violence. State officials can order people to be killed because -- especially in democracies -- we authorize them to do so. We can give no more significant power to another human being than to decide who lives or who dies. And yet even where that authority is deemed legitimate -- as is clearly the case in Indonesia -- its significance is only seriously considered at moments like this, when the very personal circumstances of some of its victims become the stuff of popular commentary and media interest. Less prominent victims of state-sanctioned violence often go entirely unremarked. However disappointed we may be in the actions of Indonesian President Joko Widodo -- in whom so many inside and outside Indonesia have invested such hopes as a progressive force -- he can make a couple of claims in his defense. First, Widodo -- popularly known as Jokowi -- is Indonesia's elected leader and is fulfilling his promise to crack down on what he and many other Indonesians see as a problem. Indonesia's domestic political context and the need to be seen as not giving favorable treatment to foreigners left him very little room to maneuver. This is not a justification for his actions, but it helps to explain why he was so impervious to pleas for mercy. Whatever we may think about the underlying principles and administration of justice in Indonesia, at least Jokowi can claim that it is essentially a domestic issue. We may not like Indonesia's laws, but they are being applied even-handedly within national borders where state officials have authority. Significantly, it is those same national borders that demarcate the extent of Indonesia's leaders ability -- or even desire, perhaps -- to use their capacity for state-sanctioned violence. Other countries -- including Australia -- have no such inhibitions and regularly kill perfectly innocent civilians in the course of one conflict or another. This propensity for the application of state-sanctioned violence seems especially germane when we consider another president about whom great things were expected, but who has inevitably disappointed. After the unilateralism of George W. Bush, Barack Obama was widely predicted to be a very different sort of president and one who would not make the sort of catastrophic strategic miscalculations of his predecessor.

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)In 2011, al Qaeda took Warren Weinstein hostage. Then, about a year later, his family paid money to his captors, said a Pakistani source who was in regular contact with the kidnappers. It did not lead to the American aid worker's release, and he was inadvertently killed in an anti-terror strike in January, the White House announced Thursday. After the transfer of funds in 2012, the captors, who never referred to themselves as \"al Qaeda,\" but instead as \"Afghans,\" began demanding prisoners be released in exchange for Weinstein, most prominently Dr. Aafia Siddiqui of Pakistan, the source said. She has been described as the \"poster girl\" for Islamic jihad and is serving an 86-year sentence in the United States. The militants also wanted the release of local militants who hailed from the Pakistani province of Waziristan, along the Afghan border, the source said. The men on the other end of the phone spoke Pashto with an accent typical for the border region. And they were professional in their dealings, said the source, who noticed a marked change after the money was paid. The people who had originally talked to the source about Weinstein vanished and were replaced by new voices on the phone. The militants also connected themselves with other terror events. After ISIS beheaded American James Foley, Weinstein's Afghan captors told the source that \"the Iraqis\" were asking for the American and that they were preparing an \"orange suit\" for him -- a reference to the suits that victims have worn when ISIS militants murdered them. When the Taliban released U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, a militant on the phone bragged to the source that he had been one of Bergdahl's kidnappers. They had said, at one point, that if they did kill Weinstein, they'd announce it in a big way, because he was too big a catch not to publicly celebrate. The captors had called the source daily since sometime in 2012, and the last time the source spoke with them, in early April, they said that Weinstein was still alive. In spite of a request for proof of life, the militants didn't give one. After that, the calls stopped. The source never had a number for the militants; they had always been the ones who called. The source declined to comment on the amount of money transferred to the captors, leaving the disclosure to Weinstein's family. Could Weinstein have been saved? Weinstein's family in Maryland was initially reluctant to take their case to Congress. Weinstein's wife, Elaine, and his two daughters worried that drawing attention to their loved one's plight -- especially media attention -- would make Weinstein, a government contractor working with USAID in Pakistan, a more valuable hostage to his al Qaeda captors. But the family switched course and went to their representatives in Congress in late 2013 after a video of Weinstein -- frail and apparently in declining health -- surfaced in which he said he felt \"totally abandoned and forgotten\" by his country. Will the drone debate return? More than a year later, that", "summary": "About a year after al Qaeda took Warren Weinstein hostage, his family paid a ransom, a Pakistani source says .

+{"article": "New York (CNN)Wall Street is more than ready for Hillary Clinton. The former secretary of state confirmed on Sunday what the political world has expected for months -- eight years after her first failed White House bid, Clinton will once again seek the Democratic Party's nomination for president. \"I'm hitting the road to earn your vote, because it's your time,\" Clinton said in a video released Sunday afternoon officially kicking off her campaign. \"And I hope you'll join me on this journey.\" As Clinton sets off onto the campaign trail to reintroduce herself to voters and court donors across the country, Wall Street elites are ready to roll out the red carpet. But while the enthusiastic support from the industry will be a financial boon for Clinton's newly launched campaign, it will also pose a delicate balancing act when it comes to appeasing a vocal wing of her party that is antagonistic toward the banking sector. Clinton, 67, has long enjoyed a close relationship with the financial industry. As a New York senator for almost a decade, she represented Wall Street and courted the industry aggressively during her last presidential campaign. And there is a certain degree of nostalgia within the industry for her husband's two-term presidency, marked by the 1990s bull market and broad financial deregulation, including the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial banking from riskier investing activities. Now Clinton's allies in the finance world are eager to galvanize a broad network of potential donors in New York and beyond. Many on Wall Street and in the broader business community view her as a dependable, business-friendly force within a Democratic Party that has grown increasingly populist during President Barack Obama's time in office. Robert Wolf, the former CEO of UBS Americas and a close Obama associate who will back Clinton in 2016, said there's an \"incredible amount of enthusiasm\" for her campaign to get off the ground. \"We know the secretary from the years of being first lady to the senator to the secretary, so we have decades of working relationship with her,\" Wolf, who now runs a boutique consulting firm headquartered in Manhattan, told CNN. \"I don't think it's surprising that the former senator of New York is close to the finance community.\" Longtime Clinton friend and prominent Democratic fundraiser Alan Patricof, who founded the venture capital firm Greycroft Partners, said Clinton has \"an enormous following\" both inside and outside of the finance world. \"There are a lot of people who perhaps didn't know her as well before who are all set to jump on the bandwagon,\" Patricof said. As compared with 2008, he added: \"There is no diminishment, just the opposite -- an acceleration of interest in her running for the presidency.\" But the fanfare won't sit well with everyone. The former first lady's perceived coziness with Wall Street is a source of irritation for liberal activists, who hope to push the eventual Democratic nominee to embrace progressive ideals during the 2016 primaries.

+{"article": "(CNN)Never mind cats having nine lives. A stray pooch in Washington State has used up at least three of her own after being hit by a car, apparently whacked on the head with a hammer in a misguided mercy killing and then buried in a field -- only to survive. That's according to Washington State University, where the dog -- a friendly white-and-black bully breed mix now named Theia -- has been receiving care at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Four days after her apparent death, the dog managed to stagger to a nearby farm, dirt-covered and emaciated, where she was found by a worker who took her to a vet for help. She was taken in by Moses Lake, Washington, resident Sara Mellado. \"Considering everything that she's been through, she's incredibly gentle and loving,\" Mellado said, according to WSU News. \"She's a true miracle dog and she deserves a good life.\" Theia is only one year old but the dog's brush with death did not leave her unscathed. She suffered a dislocated jaw, leg injuries and a caved-in sinus cavity -- and still requires surgery to help her breathe. The veterinary hospital's Good Samaritan Fund committee awarded some money to help pay for the dog's treatment, but Mellado has set up a fundraising page to help meet the remaining cost of the dog's care. She's also created a Facebook page to keep supporters updated. Donors have already surpassed the $10,000 target, inspired by Theia's tale of survival against the odds. On the fundraising page, Mellado writes, \"She is in desperate need of extensive medical procedures to fix her nasal damage and reset her jaw. I agreed to foster her until she finally found a loving home.\" She is dedicated to making sure Theia gets the medical attention she needs, Mellado adds, and wants to \"make sure she gets placed in a family where this will never happen to her again!\" Any additional funds raised will be \"paid forward\" to help other animals. Theia is not the only animal to apparently rise from the grave in recent weeks. A cat in Tampa, Florida, found seemingly dead after he was hit by a car in January, showed up alive in a neighbor's yard five days after he was buried by his owner. The cat was in bad shape, with maggots covering open wounds on his body and a ruined left eye, but remarkably survived with the help of treatment from the Humane Society.", "summary": "Theia, a bully breed mix, was apparently hit by a car, whacked with a hammer and buried in a field . \"She's a true miracle dog and she deserves a good life,\" says Sara Mellado, who is looking for a home for Theia ."}
+{"article": "(CNN)A large storm system dubbed Typhoon Maysak is churning over the Pacific Ocean, days away from a possible direct hit on the Philippines. Maysak is moving west-northwest after skirting the Federated States of Micronesia, according to the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Its eye is projected to make landfall in the central or northern part of the Philippine island of Luzon on Sunday, though the country's residents could start feeling its effects days before. That could interrupt the Easter celebration for many in the predominantly Catholic nation, which may be socked by heavy rains and potent winds. The International Red Cross noted that \"many people are expected to throng coastal areas at this time.\" Images of the typhoon as seen from the International Space Station were posted to Twitter, including a Vine video showing the swirling eye of the storm. The storm has weakened and is expected to lose more strength before it reaches the Philippines. Its maximum sustained winds on Wednesday were 150 mph, making it a super typhoon in the Joint Typhoon Warning Center's definition. But by Thursday, the winds' strength had declined to around 132 mph -- no longer a super typhoon but still the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane. Meteorologist Ivan Cabrera told CNN that Maysak could weaken further to become a tropical storm by the time it reaches the Philippine coast. \"This will not be a catastrophic storm,\" Cabrera said. That said, it could still cause flooding and bring strong winds, he cautioned. The Philippines is frequently hit by typhoons. In December, for instance, Hagupit killed at least 18 people in the East Asian nation and injured hundreds more. But that devastation paled in comparison to the havoc wrought by Super Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013, which killed more than 6,000 people and injured more than 27,000 others. That typhoon, considered to be among the strongest storms ever to make landfall, hit the eastern city of Tacloban especially hard. The irony of the upcoming storm is its timing: in April, just after the Philippines Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration officially declared the onset of the nation's dry, or summer, season. PAGASA meteorologist Shelley Ignacio predicts Maysak -- which is called Chedeng in the Philippines -- will bring heavy rains to Luzon starting on Friday, according to the state-run Philippines News Agency. The country's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council went on red alert on Wednesday because of the storm, the news agency reports. That alert means all relevant personnel are on standby and the public should be on guard for possible effects of the storm.

+{"article": "(CNN)The FBI has confirmed that one of its most wanted terrorists, the Malaysian bomb maker known as Marwan, was killed in an otherwise disastrous raid in the Philippines in January. Marwan, whose real name is Zulkifli bin Hir, was believed by the FBI to a member of southeast Asian terror group Jemaah Islamiyah's central command. The FBI said in February that a DNA sample -- understood to be from a severed finger -- taken from a man killed in a raid in the southern Philippines showed a link with a known relative of Marwan. But the FBI now says tests have confirmed that the dead man was the wanted Islamic extremist. \"After a thorough review of forensic data and information obtained from our Philippine law enforcement partners, the FBI has assessed that terrorism subject, Zulkifli Abdhir ... is deceased and has been removed from the FBI's list of Most Wanted Terrorists,\" David Bowdich, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles field office, told CNN in a statement. The FBI had been offering a $5 million reward for information leading to Marwan's capture in the wake of his 2007 indictment on terror charges in a California court. It accused him of being a supplier of IEDs to terrorist organizations, and having conducted bomb making training for terror groups, including the Philippines-based Abu Sayyaf. Marwan had previously been falsely reported dead after a raid by Philippine security forces in 2012. The Philippines has been fighting an insurgency in the predominantly Muslim south for years, and last year signed a peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the largest rebel group in the region. But in January it launched a surprise raid in pursuit of Marwan at Mamapasono, in the southern province of Maguindanao. The mission went disastrously awry. Forty-four members of the police's elite Special Action Force (SAF) unit were killed in the assault, targeting an area controlled by the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) -- a hardline splinter group which has rejected the peace deal with the Philippines government. According to a report released by the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC) last month, the BIFF faction sheltering Marwan had sworn allegiance to ISIS. In the immediate aftermath of the assault, the SAF company charged with executing Marwan came under fire, before another SAF company stationed in nearby MILF territory as a \"blocking force\" became engaged in an eight-hour firefight with MILF fighters. According to the IPAC report, the SAF \"blocking\" company eventually ran out of ammunition and only one of their number survived, . Eighteen MILF fighters were killed and a number of BIFF fighters may also died. The clash shattered a three-year ceasefire with the MILF, authorities said. A national day of mourning was declared as the men were laid to rest. Bowdich expressed the FBI's \"sincere condolences to the brave officers of the Special Action Force who lost their lives while attempting to apprehend this dangerous fugitive.\" While an SAF superintendent said at a eulogy for the fallen commandos that their sacrifice had been worth", "summary": "A man killed in a raid in the Philippines in January was a \"most wanted\" terrorist, the FBI says .

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)Supreme Court justices appeared divided Tuesday during historic arguments over the constitutionality of gay marriage, with Justice Anthony Kennedy returning to a familiar role as the court's pivotal vote. Chief Justice John Roberts -- who shocked conservatives with his swing vote to uphold Obamacare -- this time seemed to lean more closely to conservative justices. The arguments unfurled inside a packed courtroom on Tuesday while supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage rallied outside -- with one protester even interrupting the arguments from within. RELATED: How a Cincinnati judge could shape the gay marriage case . Many questions on Tuesday centered around the definition of marriage and whether the decision to authorize or ban gay marriage should be left to voters in individual states or decided by the judicial system. All eyes were on Justice Anthony Kennedy, considered a key vote for challengers to the state bans, who has penned three decisions in favor of gay rights over the years. At the start of arguments he joined other conservatives concerned with the fact that marriage has been defined between a man and a woman for a long time. \"This definition has been with us for millennia,\" he said. \"And it's very difficult for the court to say: 'Oh, well, we know better.' \" But later Kennedy pressed John Bursch, a lawyer defending the bans: \"Same sex couples say: 'Of course, we understand the nobility and the sacredness of the marriage. We know we can't procreate, but we want the other attributes of it in order to show that we, too, have a dignity that can be fulfilled.' \" Kennedy also said that Bursch's assertion \"that only opposite-sex couples can have a bonding with the child\" was \"just a wrong premise.\" When Bursch said the rate of out-of-wedlock birth has gone up in the country, Kennedy noted that if Bursch were to prevail, it might be difficult for same-sex couples to \"adopt some of these children.\" \"I think,\" Kennedy said, \"the argument cuts quite against you.\" He also brought up the fact that marriage \"bestows dignity.\" \"These parties say they want to have that same ennoblement,\" he said. Chief Justice John Roberts was also concerned with the traditional definition of marriage. He said this to Mary L. Bonauto, an attorney representing the challengers: \"You're not seeking to join the institution, you're seeking to change what the institution is.\" He expressed concern about closing off the debate currently going on in the states. \"I mean, closing of debate can close minds, and it will have a consequence on how this new institution is accepted.\" \"People feel very differently about something if they have a chance to vote on it, than if it's imposed on them by the courts,\" he said. Conservative Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Samuel Alito were sharply critical in their questioning of Bonauto. Scalia said that the issue is not whether there should be same-sex marriage, \"but who should decide the point.\" Alito brought up how long marriage has been considered between a man and a woman and cast doubt that", "summary": "Questions Tuesday centered on whether defining marriage should be left to voters in individual states or decided by judicial system .

+{"article": "(CNN)It was right after one of the longest lockouts in NBA history. Jeff Green, then playing for the Boston Celtics, was looking forward to getting back to the hardwood. That was until a routine physical stopped him in his tracks. The physical revealed he had an aortic aneurysm near the left valve of his heart. \"I was shocked,\" said the Memphis Grizzlies small forward. \"I had no symptoms of fatigue, shortness of breath.\" Green had to have open heart surgery. \"Leading up to it was nerve-racking,\" he said. \"I couldn't run. I couldn't touch a basketball. I couldn't get stressed out, it was tough.\" As Green learned how doctors would open up his chest to repair his heart, he considered the possibility he may never play basketball again. \"The first couple of weeks after I was told, I really focused in on my career and what was next,\" said the basketball player. \"I wanted to make sure if I wanted to come back, I was able to come back and play the same way I did before I left.\" If that opportunity wasn't there, Green wanted to have a backup plan. So, he headed back to his college roots at Georgetown University, finished his degree and became the first person in his family to graduate from college. Green's NBA basketball career wasn't over, but it was a slow progression back to the court. He missed the entire 2011-2012 season. \"I didn't even watch any basketball,\" he said. \"Six months after the surgery was the first time I set foot on a court.\" It was with the Hoyas where Green laid back down the foundation of his game, healing his body and regaining muscle. \"The timing was off,\" he said. \"I wasn't concerned about getting hit, the biggest thing was just being in shape and being able to move and being able to function on the floor.\" Green believes the surgery and hard road back to the NBA have given him a new perspective and more meaning in his life. \"I will never forget those days that I could walk 15 steps for five minutes,\" he said. \"Now I attack every game like this could be my last.\" \"I feel like the year I missed really added more years,\" he explained. \"It added more life into what I'm doing because I'm more grateful for it.\" Green's now using his story to raise awareness of hidden heart risk.

Twelve jurors and twelve alternates are on the list. The group includes 19 women and five men. It's almost entirely white and mostly middle-aged. It's a key step in the case, and it's been a long time coming. Jury selection started in January with 9,000 potential jurors. But the legal wrangling is the case is just revving up. Holmes' defense attorneys asked for a change of venue after the jury was seated Tuesday. The judge denied their request, noting that a jury had already been seated. Opening statements in the trial are scheduled to begin on April 27. Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 others when he allegedly opened fire inside a packed theater during the midnight showing of \"The Dark Knight Rises\" on July 20, 2012. The one-time neuroscience doctoral student faces 165 counts, including murder and attempted murder charges. Now 27, he has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

+{"article": "(CNN)Every week in the heart of Nima, a slum in the Ghanaian capital of Accra, families congregate at a local mosque. When the time comes, young girls say goodbye to their loved ones and part ways, filing up concrete steps leading up to the floor above. There, inside a large room dotted with brown tables, rows of flashing computer screens await for them. \"When the parents are praying [downstairs], we are teaching the girls upstairs,\" explains tech entrepreneur Regina Agyare, who comes here every week to teach local teens how to code. Agyare's first visit to see the girls -- students at education project Achievers Ghana -- was in January 2014. This was supposed to be a one-off seminar as part of her mentorship initiative \"Tech Needs Girls\" -- however, the students proved quite a draw. \"I fell in love with them, so I decided to set up a coding club and started having regular sessions,\" says Agyare, founder of software development company Soronko Solutions. More importantly, continues Agyare, it offered the opportunity to show \"the community the value of educating girls.\" A predominantly Muslim area in a largely Christian nation, Nima has one of the densest populations in Accra. Agyare says life is often challenging for many local girls, with some growing up without ever leaving the community. \"Girls were being forced to marry early; [denied] their right to go to school. Most of their dreams and aspirations were limited to just what was around them. \"I was shocked... I thought we had progressed as a nation. I thought we had gone past that.\" This, in part, was why Agyare lent her support to Achievers Ghana. Set up by local Amadu Mohammad, the non-profit organization supports 250 girls between the age of six and 18, priming them for formal education through extracurricular classes in reading, math, poetry and information technology. Its goal is to break through social barriers and provide Nima with a generation of female role models, and so the group provides school funding to help the girls shape their own future. The project was bequeathed its classroom above the mosque it shares a building with, and Agyare says the two work closely together. Achievers Ghana met initial resistance from local conservatives, but when the mosque's chief imam Sheik Hussein Abdul Rahman championed Mohammad's vision, few maintained their reservations. Now, with parents paying a nominal fee towards the running of the organization, it is in everyone's interest that the girls succeed. Fourteen months after her first visit, Agyare's coding class is well established. She has set up a mentor scheme as part of \"Tech Needs Girls,\" recruiting and training women at university to act as role models for her younger students in Nima. In each class, around 50 girls are taught HTML and run a blog called \"Slum Voices\". \"I definitely feel [technology] has given them more of a voice,\" Agyare says. \"I feel like it's allowed them to express themselves and interact with others... for them, it's important to be heard.\" Some girls had never used a computer before", "summary": "Many girls in Nima,one of Accra's poorest slums, receive little or no education .

In a landmark joint announcement with the United States in November, China unveiled its intent to peak its carbon emissions around 2030 and to double its share of zero-carbon energy to 20%. This shift will require substantial effort from China to retool its economy, increase investment in renewable energy and divest from coal. As the world's No. 1 investor in renewable energy, China has already taken important steps forward. At the same time, India has set the audacious goal of installing 100 gigawatts of solar power capacity by 2022, a 30-fold increase from current levels and eight times more solar capacity than the United States has today. Cities and corporations are joining in as well. More than 200 cities, home to 436 million people, have voluntarily committed to saving 13 gigatons of greenhouse gas emissions by midcentury. And more than a thousand companies, along with 73 countries, voiced support for putting a price on carbon and moving to cleaner energy technologies. Leading companies, like Apple and Google, are making major bets on renewable energy. And another 25 businesses have signed onto the Corporate Renewable Energy Buyers' Principles\u2014these companies represent energy demand equal to more than 1 million homes. Increasing examples demonstrate that strong climate action can be good for the economy. For instance, renewable sources now provide one-fifth of the world's electricity, while solar manufacturing costs have dropped 80% in the last seven years. Wind turbines installed now are 100 times better at generating power than turbines were 30 years ago. Clean technology investments surged to $310 billion last year. In the United States, carbon emissions fell by 10% from 2007 to 2013, the largest absolute emissions reduction recorded, even as the United States has recovered from the Great Recession. Many of these shifts are unprecedented and could not have been anticipated even five years ago. Yet these trends alone are not enough to counter the mounting climate-related impacts that we are already seeing.

+{"article": "(CNN)The outlines of a nuclear deal with Iran are in place. Unfortunately, it seems like too many in President Barack Obama's administration have forgotten that the only reason this terrorist-supporting state came to the negotiating table in the first place was because of tough sanctions imposed by the U.S. Congress. Indeed, the reality is that President Obama is giving up enormous leverage in his nuclear deal with Iran -- and I worry we will lose it for good. Bleeding money, and faced with falling oil prices, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei gave his government rare permission to bargain with the \"Great Satan\" -- the United States. But just as U.S. and European sanctions were forcing Iran to the nuclear crossroads, President Obama has given Tehran an easy exit. For Khamenei, the \"framework\" announced last week looks like a win-win: He gets to keep his nuclear infrastructure, and in return gets billions of dollars in sanctions relief. Congress offered a better strategy when the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Eliot Engel, and I introduced a bill to hit Tehran with its toughest sanctions yet. Unfortunately, this bill -- which passed the House in a 400-20 vote -- was blocked in the Senate last year, despite the fact that it would have sharpened the Ayatollah's choice: Dismantle your nuclear weapons program or see your economy collapse. President Obama once had a tougher line, when in 2012 he said: \"The deal we'll accept is they end their nuclear program. It's very straightforward.\" But the framework announced last week does nothing of the sort. Negotiated between Iran and the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, the framework concedes that Iran can maintain \"a mutually defined enrichment program,\" operate thousands of centrifuges, and continue its research and development of nuclear technologies. The deal currently on the table would hand Tehran billions of previously sanctioned funds, filling the coffers of the world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism, with strongholds in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon. Meanwhile, the strictest restrictions on Iran's enrichment will expire in only 10 years, despite the President receiving a letter from 367 Members of Congress -- both Democrats and Republicans -- in which we insisted that \"verifiable constraints on Iran's nuclear program must last for decades.\" The President admitted as much when he conceded that \"in year 13, 14, 15, they have advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point the breakout times would have shrunk almost down to zero.\" But as bad as these concessions are, the most concerning aspect of the April 2 deal is that it lacks tough safeguards to stop Iran from cheating. The key question is this: Will the inspectors at the International Atomic Energy Agency be allowed to inspect these military sites without warning? Because if the IAEA cannot conduct \"anytime, anywhere\" inspections, Iran will be able to \"sneak out\" to a bomb. It has been done before. Remember, in 1994, when President Bill Clinton told us he had struck a deal with North Korea that would \"make the United States, the", "summary": "Ed Royce: Best predictor of Iran's future behavior is its past behavior .

It may be longer. In other words, there will be no execution less than 72 hours after notification,\" Tony Spontana told CNN by phone Sunday. Though Indonesian officials said all 10 would be executed at the same time, Spontana said French national Serge Atlaoui had filed a challenge to the State Administrative Court on Thursday so his sentence has been delayed. Meanwhile, Edre Olalia, a lawyer acting for Philippines maid Mary Jane Veloso, told CNN Sunday that Veloso had telephoned her sister on Saturday at about 5:30 p.m. local time and said her execution will take place on Tuesday, April 28. Officials at the Philippines Embassy in Jakarta confirmed the same information. According to her lawyers, Veloso unknowingly carried drugs into Indonesia, and that she was set up by members of a drug syndicate. On Friday, Indonesian officials advised relevant consular officials to travel to Indonesia's \"execution island\" -- Nusa Kambangan -- where the ten are being held -- a sign that the sentences may be carried out soon. They will face a firing squad. OPINION: Why executions won't win Indonesia's drug war . The ten on death row, which also include two Australian citizens Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran -- members of the so-called \"Bali Nine\" smuggling ring -- as well as prisoners from Ghana, Brazil, Nigeria and Indonesia, had their petitions for clemency denied by President Joko Widodo in late 2014. A statement Sunday from Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said the Australian government had been notified that the execution of Chan and Sukumaran would be carried out \"imminently.\" \"I spoke to Mr. Sukumaran's mother Raji yesterday and assured her the government would continue to seek clemency from Indonesian President Widodo for both men. \"They have been rehabilitated in a most remarkable way over the past ten years and are genuinely remorseful for their serious crimes. \"Nothing can be gained and much will be lost if these two young Australians are executed. \"I again respectfully call on the President of Indonesia to reconsider his refusal to grant clemency. It is not too late for a change of heart.\" The two Australians, convicted for their role in a failed 2005 heroin smuggling plot, tried to challenge the President's decision earlier this month but lost an appeal for the State Administrative Court to hear their case. Their lawyers have since filed another review at the Constitutional Court. The Attorney General's office has said they would respect all ongoing court proceedings but insisted the inmates have exhausted all their legal options. Australia has repeatedly appealed for clemency for the pair and has unsuccessfully proposed a prisoner swap with Indonesia as a way of avoiding their deaths.

+{"article": "(CNN)This is the end. Beautiful friend, the end. For the 1960s, the end arrived with -- depending on your ideals and your tribe -- either the Rolling Stones' Altamont fiasco in December 1969, the Kent State shootings in May 1970 or Richard Nixon's 1972 re-election. For \"Mad Men,\" the \"end of an era,\" as its slogan has it, begins Sunday. Over the past eight years, the show about a 1960s advertising agency and its collision with changing times has become part of the national fabric, if never a huge ratings hit. Stores have created fashion lines inspired by the show; there have been \"Mad Men\" cocktails and \"Mad Men\" museum exhibits and even \"Mad Men\" presidential references. Don Draper, the creative director played by Jon Hamm, has become a symbol of the times -- his and, sometimes, ours. Its subjects have taken the show to heart. In March, a \"Mad Men\" bench was unveiled in front of New York's Time & Life Building, where the fictional firm of Sterling Cooper & Partners has its headquarters. The end of a TV series brings with it some risk. \"The Sopranos,\" \"Mad Men\" creator Matthew Weiner's former employer, divided fans with its famous cut-to-black finale. On the other hand, \"Mad Men's\" former AMC stablemate, \"Breaking Bad,\" was saluted for an almost perfect landing. Speaking of landings: The last season -- technically, the first half of season 7 -- ended with the moon landing in July 1969. Though Weiner and his cast have been typically tight-lipped -- Weiner even hid the finale from his cast at first -- it's reasonable to assume the new season will pick up soon afterward. What's going to happen? Here are some educated guesses. With the '60s screaming towards their conclusion, \"Mad Men\" probably won't jump ahead much. The latter half of 1969 included the Manson murders, the Woodstock festival, a New York mayoral campaign and the Vietnam War moratorium demonstrations -- plenty of fodder for the characters to interact with, if only tangentially. Who knows? The show might even mention the Miracle Mets. It would be a nice way to acknowledge the agency's late Lane Pryce. Of course, Weiner might have a different idea; he's from Baltimore. \"Mad Men\" is generally a show about disintegration, reflective of the '60s themselves. The old orders are falling apart: white-shoe WASP firms like Sterling Cooper giving way to the ethnic pace-setters such as Doyle Dane Bernbach; grimy New York replaced by sunny Los Angeles; the \"Good War\" generation butting heads with the \"Make Love, Not War\" cohort; vacuum tubes and ledger books being displaced by a sleek, solid-state IBM world. It's all an ad agency can do to keep up. Last season saw plenty of intraoffice turmoil, thanks to the ill-fitting merger between Sterling Cooper and former rival Cutler Gleason and Chaough. Though the agency survived, it's now without Bert Cooper (Robert Morse) and under the ownership of (real-life) Madison Avenue titan McCann Erickson.

In what Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, dubbed the \"fight of the century,\" disagreements have hampered the release of the tickets because of questions over how many tickets would be allocated to each fighter for the highly-anticipated Las Vegas event. \"There was a craze for tickets and under our agreement with Mayweather Promotions, we felt we were being deprived of our fair share of the tickets (from) the standpoint of number and location,\" Arum told CNN. \"It was very, very important to my fighter Manny Pacquiao, to the Philippines people... Manny has friends and family like you can't believe -- that will be in account for 800 or 900 tickets themselves.\" The cheapest tickets for the bout are priced at $1,500 but demand for the fight is such that some seats could fetch as much as $11,000 on the secondary market. Kenny Bayless has been named as the referee of next month's fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao. The Nevada State Athletic Commission said Bayless, who has officiated more than 100 title contests, would take charge of the most anticipated bout in recent boxing history at the MGM Grand. The 64-year-old Nevada native, who has refereed five of Mayweather's bouts and seven of Pacquiao's, was described as \"the best referee out there\" by Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach. And Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Robert Bennett said: \"Kenny knows the pressure, stress and responsibility. \"He's efficient and effective, and has proven to be successful over a number of years working in Las Vegas and other parts of the world. He's one of the best referees in the world.\" The commission also confirmed that three American judges -- Dave Moretti and Burt Clements of Nevada and Glenn Feldman of Connecticut -- had been appointed for the fight. \"I think we have the best judges, and Kenny Bayless is the best referee out there,\" Roach said. \"I think he's going to give us a fair fight.\" The welterweight world title fight is likely to smash all revenue records and become the richest bout in the sport's history, eclipsing the pay-per-view record of 2.4 million viewers for Mayweather's fight against Oscar De La Hoya in 2007. Speaking when the bout was confirmed in February, Pacquiao said: \"I am very happy that Floyd Mayweather and I can give the fans the fight they have wanted for so many years. \"They have waited long enough, and they deserve it.\" Mayweather and Pacquiao have been considered the best pound-for-pound boxers of their generation but a host of issues -- including differences over drug testing protocols as well as revenue splits and broadcaster conflicts -- have stopped the two from meeting in the ring. Both are coming to the end of their careers and have established interests elsewhere. According to Forbes, Mayweather, 38, is the highest paid athlete in world sport.

+{"article": "(CNN)An internal inquiry by the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office in 2009 concluded that Reserve Deputy Robert Bates was shown special treatment and that training policies were violated regarding his role with the agency. Bates is the volunteer deputy who fatally shot suspect Eric Harris instead of stunning him with a Taser on April 2. A Harris family lawyer provided documents to CNN from the 2009 inquiry, which also found that supervisors intimidated employees to disregard policies to the benefit of Bates. The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office has not responded to repeated calls for comment from CNN. An attorney for Bates, Clark O. Brewster, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Friday that he disputed the findings in the report and maintained that his client had the proper training. Bates, 73, is charged with second-degree manslaughter in the shooting of Harris. He pleaded not guilty. Bates was working as a reserve deputy for the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office on April 2 when he was involved the arrest of Harris in a weapons sting operation. Bates has said he meant to stun Harris with a Taser after the suspect fled from officers but mistakenly shot Harris with a gun instead. Bates has said the shooting was accidental. He has apologized to the Harris family, as has Sheriff Stanley Glanz. How easy is it to confuse a gun for a Taser? The attorney for the Harris family said that Bates wasn't qualified to be on the force, but received preferential treatment because he'd made donations to the agency and was a friend of the sheriff. The Tulsa World newspaper reported some supervisors in the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office were told to forge Bates' records and were reassigned when they refused. The sheriff's office denied the allegations in the newspaper's report. It also declined a CNN interview to respond to the claims. Over the weekend, one of Bates' attorneys released most of his training documents and said they prove Bates had proper law enforcement training. However, the records were incomplete. Bates' attorney, Brewster, characterized the 2009 memo as something borne out of jealousy by other officers. The allegations made in the report are the result of misunderstandings and misstatements, he said. The memos obtained by CNN show that a \"special investigation\" was launched in July 2009 at the request of then-Undersheriff Brian Edwards. Edwards asked investigators to look at two questions specifically: Was Bates being treated differently than any other reserve deputies, and were any employees pressured by supervisors to aid Bates? The investigation found that some employees felt pressured to sign off on certificates for training that Bates had not completed. Police caught on camera: The good and the bad . On Friday, the Tulsa County district attorney's office said it had received new information -- likely the 2009 memo -- that \"are worthy of further investigation beyond the scope of the manslaughter case.\" The DA's office is reaching out to independent law enforcement agencies to investigate further.

Devastating winds lashed cars and homes. The storm system also brought destructive flooding that washed away houses and brought down trees onto streets and buildings. The emergency services have been slammed with 13,000 calls for help due to flooding and have carried out 144 rescue tasks. The powerful storm has already claimed four lives, according to New South Wales Police. The dangerous conditions have prompted the police department to issue pleas on social media for people to not attempt driving through flooded areas. The heavy flooding prompted school and college closures and disruptions to public transportation.

+{"article": "(CNN)The Question: How can I know if my food is safe to eat after a specific product recall? The Answer: Many of us shed a few tears over the recent Sabra hummus recall (even though we are perfectly capable of making our own at home), but that sadness quickly transformed into anxiety when we looked inside our refrigerators and saw the potentially tainted culprit sitting there on the shelf. To assuage any fears, we asked John Swartzberg, M.D., a clinical professor at the University of California at Berkeley, to walk us through the process of determining if our favorite dip was still safe to eat. Related: Amy's Kitchen Recalls More Than 70,000 Cases Of Food Due To Fear Of Listeria Contamination . The first step, according to Swartzberg, is to go to the Food and Drug Administration's website and find the official report for the recalled product you're worried about. Each report will list recalled items with their product codes, which are typically categorized by the Universal Product Code (the number adjacent to the barcode) or the Stock Keeping Unit (a specific number that would only be valid at the store where the product is being sold). They will also include the recalled products' use-by dates, and the geographical areas affected. \"The recall is not based on the use-by dates, though,\" said Swartzberg. \"If the product is within the use-by date, it should still be recalled. This makes sense, because the product was contaminated prior to purchase and no matter how 'fresh' the product is, it still may be contaminated.\" After cross-checking these details, you should have a strong sense of whether your food product is safe to eat or needs to be trashed right away. But as far as avoiding potential problems before learning such details about a food recall, the consumer is at an automatic disadvantage. Related: 14 Habits Of People With A Healthy Relationship To Food . \"There's nothing the consumer can do prior to learning about the recall,\" said Dr. Swartzberg. \"Discarding or returning the product to the store is all that can be done.\" In the case of this specific hummus recall, while there was no evidence that it caused any consumer illness, the product's routine sample last month revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Consuming such bacteria can lead to listeriosis, a serious infection, and Dr. Swartzberg recommends that anyone who has consumed a listeria-laden food should let their physician know as soon as possible. \"Listeria survives well at cool temperatures,\" he said. \"Most bacteria and fungi do not -- that's why we refrigerate. Healthy people are at low risk for disease, but it can happen. Those at greatest risk for disease are the elderly, immunocompromised and pregnant.\" To learn more about the best food safety practices, visit UC Berkeley's Wellness website.

+{"article": "Garissa, Kenya (CNN)Days after a horrific Al-Shabaab attack on its soil, Kenya launched airstrikes targeting the terror group in Somalia, according to a military source, who insisted the strikes were not retribution for last week's massacre at Garissa University College that killed nearly 150 people. \"The latest attack of Al-Shabaab bases by the Kenya military is part of the ongoing operations that started in 2011. It is not a retaliation to the Garissa attack. The operation has been ongoing,\" the military source said Monday. It is customary for Kenyan military sources not to give their names to media. Two of the airstrikes hit Al-Shabaab training camps, according to a resident of the southwest Somalian town of Bardera, almost 200 kilometers (125 miles) from the Kenyan border, and a local journalist who asked not to be named out of fear for his safety. The Kenyan military began its bombing raids Sunday afternoon, targeting the Al-Shabaab stronghold of Godon Dhawe, Somali resident Ibrahim Mohammed said. Godon Dhawe is between Bardera and the Somalia-Kenya border. Al-Shabaab, an al Qaeda-linked militant group based in Somalia, has claimed responsibility for the university attack. Also Monday, a police source said Kenyan authorities had intelligence beforehand that a university in Garissa could be attacked, yet the country's rapid response team was stuck in Nairobi for hours after the massacre began, arranging for transport. It's not clear exactly why the elite team was stuck in the Kenyan capital, roughly 370 kilometers (230 miles) west of the attack, but the police source in Garissa told CNN that Kenyan politicians and Nairobi-based journalists arrived on the scene before the team did. Journalists on the ground corroborated that report. Once the team entered the university complex, the situation was quickly defused, journalists and the police source said. Manoah Esipisu, a spokesman for Kenya's president and deputy president, defended the response time, telling CNN there is always criticism regarding whether \"you reacted as fast as you have or shouldn't have.\" \"With the benefit of hindsight you can always say things could have been done better,\" he said, adding that Kenyan authorities saved a lot of students and \"got the job done.\" Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed echoed those remarks in a Monday interview with CNN, saying the response was sufficient and denying reports that it was the elite rapid response team alone that brought an end to the situation. \"We have a military garrison in Garissa, and the work began immediately after the attack was reported and continued for a number of hours until we were able to rescue 663 students of the 800 students that had been taken hostage by these terrorists. So the response was adequate,\" she said. She repeated Esipisu's assertion that dubbing the response slow is a reaction that comes only with the luxury of hindsight. \"Obviously when parents are grieving and the country is mourning, it's always easy to fall back on things like that, but I can assure you that we took very quick action as soon as this was reported,\" Mohamed said. \"Obviously hindsight is always 20/20.

Looking through old photos is usually an enjoyable experience -- coming across a wedding or remembrances of happy times with family and friends. On this occasion, however, I found myself flipping through images from a devastating time we dearly wish had never happened but cannot afford to forget. White sand beaches stained with black sludge, oil-choked waterways and wildlife, shuttered businesses, and front-lawn signs pleading for justice and help. Five years after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster that killed 11 people, devastated livelihoods and wreaked havoc on the already fragile natural resources of the Gulf of Mexico region, it's time to ask ourselves: What have we learned? And what are we willing to do make sure it doesn't happen again? I spent much of 2010 in the Gulf, traveling through the communities, spending time with the people and witnessing the impact of this environmental catastrophe. Five years later, I returned to see what has changed and what has remained the same. First, it's important to understand that the principle \"out of sight, out of mind\" doesn't apply in the communities of Gulf Coast states. The BP oil spill's legacy continues to haunt this region like a recurring cancer. On this most recent trip, I saw the ghostly remains of entire islands virtually swallowed up by the oil, and I learned about oystermen and fishermen whose livelihoods are still crippled by what happened five years ago. Imagining Daddy: A rig worker's daughter and her dreams . Of course, that's not to say progress hasn't been made. Community groups and dedicated organizations have worked ceaselessly to restore and repair not only the physical environment, but also the way of life. This work is critical, and it deserves our attention and additional resources to continue to progress. But make no mistake: Though a kind of normalcy has returned to the Gulf region and important progress has been made, the oil is still there. What we do and don't know about the oil spill . A recent study from Florida State University estimates that up to 10 million gallons of that oil is still on the seafloor of the Gulf. (BP disputes the study). Everything is not \"back to normal.\" So far, BP has spent more than $14 billion on cleanup, and despite its assurances that everything is recovering, we witnessed a crew on a beach in Barataria Bay (off Louisiana) digging up oily sand. Not what I would call recovered. And while this kind of reflection is rarely pleasant, it is critical in order to avoid another tragedy on the scale of the BP spill, or potentially much worse. It's important to note that for areas like the Gulf, which are already affected by drilling, many of the common-sense safety reforms called for by the National Commission on the oil spill in January 2011 have yet to be implemented. And yet, early this year, the Obama administration proposed a five-year offshore oil and gas drilling", "summary": "\"Out of sight, out of mind\" doesn't apply to communities along the Gulf of Mexico, Philippe Cousteau says .

+{"article": "Tokyo (CNN)A former school principal in Japan says he paid for sex with more than 12,000 women -- some of them girls as young as 14 -- during repeated visits to the Philippines over more than a quarter of a century, according to police. Now, at the age of 64, he's facing criminal charges. Japanese police say they arrested the man, Yuhei Takashima, on Wednesday over allegations he photographed an obscene act with a girl of 13 or 14 and produced pornography in a hotel room in Manila, the Philippine capital. Police officers seized 147,600 photos that Takashima took of his activities over the years, said Takeshi Akimoto, the police officer in charge of crime involving minors in Kanagawa, a prefecture south of Tokyo. The pictures were kept in more than 400 photo albums, he said. Takashima, who comes from the city of Yokohama, told police that he began paying for sex with women in 1988 when he went to work at a Japanese school in Manila. He said that stepping outside of moral codes relieved the heavy pressure he felt at work, according to police. Takashima told police that he continued to pay for sex because it was so cheap. After the end of his three-year stint at the school in Manila, he frequently returned to the Philippines on vacations in order to buy sex. He said the ages of the prostitutes he hired ranged from 14 to over 70. The Philippines is a notorious destination for sex tourists, including pedophiles. The country's sex industry is tied to human trafficking and feeds off the high poverty rate. Akimoto, the police officer, said Takashima's case had been under investigation since 2013. The incident for which he was arrested is believed to have taken place in Manila in January 2014. Yokohama education authorities said that Takashima became a junior high school teacher in 1975 and was sent to work at the school in Manila between 1988 and 1991. He served as a junior high school principal from 2008 until his retirement in 2011.

+{"article": "Atlanta (CNN)Silently moving deep beneath the ocean's surface, combat submarines can employ the element of surprise to carry out devastating attacks on naval fleets and land targets. For decades, the U.S. military has maintained its dominance in the depths of the world's oceans by boasting the most technologically advanced submarine fleet. However, officials say China and other nations are rapidly expanding the size and scope of their own submarine forces. And, according to a report by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, the U.S. must rethink the role of manned submarines and prioritize new underwater detection techniques. \"We know they are out experimenting and looking at operating, and clearly want to be in this world of advanced submarines,\" Vice Adm. Joseph Mulloy told the House Armed Services Committee's sea power subcommittee in February. Mulloy, who is deputy chief of naval operations for capabilities and resources, says Chinese submarines are still technologically inferior to those used by the United States, but that margin of difference is shrinking. Concern that China could match U.S. underwater capabilities in the near future has encouraged the development of an unmanned drone ship to independently track enemy ultra-quiet diesel electric submarines over thousands of miles to limit their tactical capacity for surprise. Initiated by a Pentagon research group called the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Vessel (ACTUV) would be able to operate under with little supervisory control but also as remotely controlled or piloted vessels, depending on the circumstances of specific missions. \"We're looking for test-ready, multi-sensor approaches that push the boundaries of today's automated sensing systems for unmanned surface vessels,\" said Scott Littlefield, DARPA program manager. \"Enhancing the ability of these kinds of vessels to sense their environment in all weather and traffic conditions, day or night, would significantly advance our ability to conduct a range of military missions.\" DARPA says the so-called drone ships will be 132 feet long and likely cost about $20 million, significantly less than the billion-dollar manned warships currently in use. The development of the ACTUV aligns with the \"culture change\" described by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus Tuesday at the Navy League's Sea Air Space symposium at National Harbor, Maryland. \"Unmanned systems, particularly autonomous ones, have to be the new normal in ever-increasing areas,\" Maybus said. Maybus said new staff will be put into place to help streamline, coordinate and champion unmanned systems in \"all domains.\" An ACTUV prototype vessel is already in production and, if testing is successful, the Navy could move to the next phase of development by 2018.", "summary": "U.S. Navy is developing an unmanned drone ship to track enemy submarines to limit their tactical capacity for surprise .

+{"article": "(CNN)Relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia have always been thorny, but rarely has the state of affairs been as venomous as it is today. Tehran and Riyadh each point to the other as the main reason for much of the turmoil in the Middle East. In its most recent incarnation, the Iranian-Saudi conflict by proxy has reached Yemen in a spiral that both sides portray as climatic. For Riyadh and its regional allies, the Saudi military intervention in Yemen -- \"Operation Decisive Storm\" -- is the moment the Sunni Arab nation finally woke up to repel the expansion of Shia-Iranian influence. For Tehran and its regional allies -- including the Houthi movement in Yemen -- Saudi Arabia's actions are in defense of a retrogressive status quo order that is no longer tenable. And yet both sides have good reasons to want to stop the Yemeni crisis from spiraling out of control and evolving into an unwinnable war. When Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was elected in June 2013, he pledged to reach out to Riyadh. He was up front and called Tehran's steep deterioration of relations with the Saudis over the last decade as one of the principal burdens on Iranian foreign policy. From Lebanon and Afghanistan to Pakistan and the Gaza Strip, the Iranian-Saudi rivalry and conflict through proxy has been deep and costly. And yet despite Rouhani's open pledge, profound differences over Syria and Iraq in particular have kept Riyadh and Tehran apart. But if the questions of Syria and Iraq prevented a pause in hostilities, the Saudi military intervention in Yemen since late March has all but raised the stakes to unprecedentedly dangerous levels. Unlike in Syria and in Iraq, the Saudi military is now directly battling it out with Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen. While Riyadh no doubt exaggerates Tehran's role in the Yemen crisis, its fingerprints are nonetheless evident. \"Iran provides financial support, weapons, training and intelligence to Houthis,\" Gerald Feierstein, a U.S. State Department official and former Yemen ambassador, told a Congressional hearing last week. \"We believe that Iran sees opportunities with the Houthis to expand its influence in Yemen and threaten Saudi and Gulf Arab interests.\" The Iranians find the charges biased and point to the Saudi airstrikes in Yemen as a much bigger case of meddling in a neighbor's affairs. In Iran, the cue came from the country's top authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has been unusually blunt. He tweeted: \"Despite disputes, the Saudis used to display composure [with] us but now inexperienced youngsters have come to power & replaced composure [with] barbarism.\" Three days after Khamenei's speech, Iran suspended religious pilgrimages to Mecca. This came as news broke about two Iranian teenage boys who had reportedly been sexually assaulted by the police while visiting Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, anti-Saudi protests have been staged in a number of Iranian cities. Khamenei's speech opened the floodgate of anti-Saudi statements. The voices of hardline figures in Tehran have been the most agitated.

+{"article": "London (CNN)Time's running out for Britons to decide who they'll back, as polling booths prepare to open across the country in an election that could change the political landscape. It's been a blink-and-you-miss-it campaign, especially by U.S. standards, where candidates can take years to finesse their messages. The election could result in the handing of power from David Cameron's Conservative government to the Labour Party, led by Ed Miliband -- or a frenzy of wrangling from leaders as they attempt to forge alliances with smaller parties. But that's all to come when polls close late Thursday evening, local time. Very strict rules govern the reporting of UK elections, but until they kick in, here are some things you should know -- who are the candidates, what are the issues, who's likely to win, why bacon sandwiches matter, what is \"UKIP\" and, if the Queen isn't in charge, what does she do? The Queen doesn't run Britain . Before we get on to the candidates, let's dispel one common misconception. Queen Elizabeth II is officially Britain's head of state, but she's only nominally in charge. She signs off on legislation and appoints new prime ministers but has no real power, so no beheadings but maybe a few disapproving stares. Officially, she's politically neutral. The closest she apparently comes to expressing opinion is -- savor this image -- \"purring\" like a cat. Visit: Windsor Castle, the Queen's country residence (Windsor and Maidenhead; +44 20 7766 7304), royalcollection.org.uk/visit/windsorcastle . So who are they voting for? Duh, they're voting for a new prime minister. Well, actually no. In presidential elections Americans vote in each state for \"electors,\" who support the candidate they want to lead the country. But in a UK parliamentary the vote is more indirectly aimed at appointing a new government. Voters put their \"X\" next to the local stooge/aspiring public servant from whichever political party they support. Votes are tallied by constituencies -- political fiefdoms, really -- some of which date back centuries to when Britain was run by barons, or maybe even elves -- each with a seat in parliament. The party that wins most seats then gets to say who becomes prime minister, pending the final thumbs up from Her Majesty. Of course, in reality, people may be swayed by party figureheads and see voting as a direct endorsement of their leadership, personality or -- true things -- their ability to eat bacon sandwiches and point at fish. Visit: Hampstead Heath -- a beautiful north London green space that lies partly within the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency, likely to be one of the most hotly contested of the election. (South Hill Park Gardens, London; +44 20 7332 3322). Is that a fair system? Kinda. But also kinda not, since it means a party can easily win power without winning the most votes. That's because Britain's elections are run on a \"first-past-the-post\" basis. It's an analogy that highlights how similar British politics is to horse racing, just with fewer doping scandals.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's time for liberals to look local. With Washington gridlocked over almost everything and congressional Republicans standing firm against any further expansion of domestic policy, the odds of Congress passing another New Deal or Great Society are minimal. It will take a lot of work by Democratic voters and activists to change the numbers on Capitol Hill so that liberal ideas stand a chance of passing. Yet at the state and local level, the story has been much different. Liberal Democrats have found more political space to move forward with their initiatives. In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio has launched an ambitious pre-K education program to broaden access for all of the city's residents. In New Orleans, the mayor has put together a generous housing program to guarantee that there are no veterans without shelter. The drive for same-sex marriage equality took hold in the states before reaching the federal level. States such as Vermont, Oregon, and Washington as well as New Jersey have taken the lead in adopting eco-friendly policies. While Congress has resisted President Barack Obama's call to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 from $7.25, 21 states and the District of Columbia went ahead and enacted minimum wage increases of their own. This is just the tip of the iceberg. At the annual conference for New America in Washington last week, the focus was on innovation. The most exciting ideas are taking hold at the local level. As the Atlantic's James Fallows explained to the audience, when one moves beneath the gridlock of Washington and down to the towns and communities of America, it is quickly possible to see the \"functionality of politics\" -- where partisanship does not trump the need to solve problems. This has given liberals an opening. In Detroit, a company called Detroit Dirt is taking food scraps from local eating establishments and transforming them into compost for gardens to nurture communities and lower the environmental footprint of the city, Pashon Murray said at the New America conference. Jonathan Mintz, the founding president and CEO of Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund, explained how his organization assists local governments to develop global partnerships that help lower- and middle-income Americans gain greater access to banking services. But many liberal Democrats are uneasy about embracing this trend. Since the New Deal in the 1930s, which followed the total collapse of the patchwork of local and state social welfare programs overwhelmed by the weight of the Great Depression, doing things at the national level has been seen as the only way to go. Only by making programs national could policymakers ensure that state and local government officials (particularly Southern Democrats who had little taste for giving benefits to African-Americans) could not distribute benefits only to certain portions of the population.

In an hour-long labor captured by 10 cameras and streamed live by Animal Planet, Katie gave birth to a not-so-little baby (about 6 feet tall) early Friday evening. There was no immediate word on the newborn's gender or condition. But there were good signs, as seen on the live stream and Dallas Zoo's Twitter feed -- like its ears moving, its efforts to stand, and its nursing (or at least trying to nurse) from mom. \"We're so proud,\" the zoo tweeted.

+{"article": "Durham, North Carolina (CNN)President Obama's nomination of Loretta Lynch to become the country's first African-American woman attorney general is a historic pick. Her confirmation, however, is now taking on new historical relevance as her wait for a confirmation vote by the full Senate drags into its sixth month. The period between the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote to confirm and the full Senate vote -- which in Lynch's case has not been scheduled -- has lasted longer for her than for any attorney general nominee in recent history. By the time the Senate returns from Easter recess on Monday, it'll have been longer than the eight previous nominees for the job -- combined. Lynch, currently the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, cleared the committee February 26 by a vote of 12-8, with Republican Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona joining Democrats in sending the nomination to the full Senate. Obama nominated Lynch to replace Attorney General Eric Holder on November 8, after Holder had announced plans to leave the post weeks earlier. Hundreds of miles from Washington, longtime residents of Durham, North Carolina, were beaming with pride. Lynch's family moved to the city when she was a child. Her parents, married for 60 years, still live there. They watched the announcement on television . \"That was encouraging but I knew then that we had a fight on our hands,\" said Lynch's father, the Rev. Lorenzo Lynch. \"I've been in politics most of my life. I know that nothing is certain, and I know that nothing is easy.\" Lorenzo Lynch, 82, is a retired Baptist preacher and was active in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. He ran, unsuccessfully, for mayor of Durham in 1973. For the next round of his daughter's \"fight,\" he traveled to Washington in late January to attend his daughter's confirmation hearing before the Judiciary Committee. \"I heard a lot at that hearing that I've heard since childhood. That is the presupposition of the mindset,\" Lorenzo Lynch said. \"The dual system or the dual treatment.\" When asked to provide specific examples, Lorenzo Lynch deferred to the state branch of the NAACP and E. Lavonia Allison, a Durham activist who has known Loretta Lynch since the family moved to Durham. \"I don't want to think about the epidermis, but some people are thinking that way,\" Allison said, suggesting that Lynch's confirmation vote has been delayed because Lynch is African-American. \"When it has taken so long, when it has been so different from any other person who has been nominated ... how else can we interpret that it is so different?\" Allison said. In March, Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-North Carolina, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said, \"I think race certainly can be considered as a major factor in the reason for this delay, but it's also the irrationality of the new Republicans.\" Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, evoked imagery of the segregated South in criticism of Republicans, saying Lynch had been \"asked to sit in the back of", "summary": "The nomination of Loretta Lynch as U.S. attorney general was announced in November .

+{"article": "(CNN)ESPN's Britt McHenry this week found herself in the news, rather than reporting on it, after a video surfaced showing her berating and belittling an employee of a tow company in Arlington, Virginia. Among the highlights, as caught on tape and eventually uploaded to LiveLeak: \"I'm on television and you're in a f**king trailer, honey,\" and \"I wouldn't work at a scumbag place like this. Makes my skin crawl even being here.\" And, finally, \"Lose some weight, baby girl.\" It's pretty cringe-worthy stuff that seems difficult, if not impossible, to defend. McHenry quickly issued an apology, blaming the incident on a moment of intense frustration but admitting her mistake and accepting responsibility. It was, however, too late: the #firebrittmchenry hashtag was already trending on Twitter, where she was called everything from classist, class-less, and \"ugly on the inside\" to a \"sad, self-hating coward.\" ESPN, meanwhile, announced that McHenry would be suspended for a week. Certainly McHenry should have known better than to have used such words, even if that's what she was thinking, least of all because in our YouTube age, such missteps always come to light. But while McHenry's reaction could very well have been a result of an overblown sense of entitlement, evidence of a mean girl who never left high school, what's also troubling is how quickly and gleefully the rest of us issued blame on McHenry without fully knowing -- or, it seems, caring about -- the other side of the story. The video that was released -- by the tow company -- was heavily edited and included only McHenry's responses, not the comments of the employee who may have provoked her and contributed to an argument that clearly escalates as the video goes on. McHenry knew she was being taped; at one point, she looks directly at the camera. The employee even threatens to make the video public. Did McHenry keep going because she has that much of a self-destructive streak? Or because she truly could not help herself? Or was she confident that any video evidence would show that there were two people playing this particular game? How Britt McHenry could have responded . These days, there's nothing we love more than an example of a celebrity fall from grace, whether it's Lindsay Lohan or Brian Williams or Britt McHenry, who was judged not on the facts but on what we take particular joy in believing: that the over-privileged and semi-famous do not necessarily deserve a fair trial. The high price of public shaming online . Sure, McHenry probably feels entitled, but that's our doing, too. We're a society obsessed with putting celebrities on a pedestal -- celebrating them, compensating them. And yet when, in a moment of frustration and stress, McHenry lets the entitlement bestowed on her win out over taking a deep breath and walking away, we're right there to demand to know what gives her the nerve. You know what gives her the nerve? We do.

When the once rising star for the New England Patriots walks into court each day with what appears to be an air of confidence -- or is it bravado? -- he enters from a connecting holding room. Some court security officers who escort him are as tall and muscular as he is. Besides that certain bounce to his step, there's usually a smile. Jury deliberations resume Wednesday . Watch \"Downward Spiral: Inside the Case against Aaron Hernandez\" tonight at 9 p.m. ET. It hasn't been there as often in the last couple of weeks when state witnesses have included his fianc\u00e9e Shayanna Jenkins and his former boss, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who testified Hernandez would usually greet him with a kiss and a hug. Always impeccably dressed in suit and tie brought in by his defense team, Hernandez quickly scans the courtroom, usually starting with the rows of seats directly behind him. The front row is reserved for his family. Some days, none of his relatives is there. But when his mother, fianc\u00e9e, brother and other friends attend, he winks, nods, smiles, jokes, laughs, flirts with his fianc\u00e9e and mouths greetings to them including \"'thanks for coming' and 'I love you.'\" Twice, he nodded his head and smiled at me. It's not unusual for his lawyers to slap him on his back and huddle before court begins, appearing at ease. They've been representing him since June 2013. There was an unfortunate moment. His mother once asked permission from a court officer to touch her son once the jury left the room. Given an OK, she reached over the bar to him, took one of his hands in hers and kissed it. Rules forbid contact. It did not go unnoticed by the family of victim Odin Lloyd. Hernandez does not avoid looking in their direction. He glances at Lloyd's relatives. Lloyd's mother Ursula Ward, who is in court daily, appears to look right back at Hernandez without expression from her usual seat on the end of a row. When one witness, a high school friend, testifies that Hernandez once allegedly talked about carrying a gun, Hernandez appears to glare at him. When his fianc\u00e9e takes the stand and testifies Hernandez told her to ditch a box from their basement the day after Lloyd's slaying, his eyes are glued on her. She barely glances his way but does appear to say something as she passes the defense table on the way out. When Kraft is asked to officially point out Hernandez in court and describe what he was wearing, I watch Hernandez look down at his shirt and tie as Kraft detailed his outfit.

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.

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.

+{"article": "(CNN)After two days of deliberation, jurors found Dzhokhar Tsarnaev guilty on all counts in the Boston Marathon bombing. The verdict isn't surprising. What might be, however, is the answer to how we prevent this kind of violence from happening again. Because there could be other more young men just like him, which means the lessons we take from Boston will affect whether we can keep America and Americans safer. Today, nearly 1 out of 4 people in the world are Muslim. By 2050, Pew reports, that will be some 1 out of 3. By 2070? Well, I'll quote the all-caps headline reprinted by the Drudge Report: \"Muslims to outnumber Christians!\" Many Americans read such numbers and worry: Will this mean more Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs? But that's only if you believe Islam causes extremism, which many have argued. And that's wrong, of course. On the other hand, there are people who claim Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Which is true \u2014 and false. Sure, the Islamic faith forbids murder, but there's a small but significant minority of Muslims murdering people in terrible ways, and in Islam's name. Understanding what leads young Muslims like Dzhokhar down a dangerous path requires we understand radicalization. At any given moment in the Middle East, we have little idea who's going to attack whom next, who's on whom's side, how this is going to end, or what anyone's even fighting over anymore. This bad news is going to turn worse before it gets better. But it will get better. To understand why, we have to take a stab at understanding what radicalizes Muslims . Contrary to common belief, Muslims aren't unusually predisposed to violence. Radical Islam, which has taken on an ugly life of its own, began at the intersection of politics, religion and religious identity. Islam is about what you believe, but it's also about being part of a community. And what happens when you are a member of a community and you see it under attack? Some Muslims who have turned to violence have done so with good intentions (the road to hell, after all). Consider: The tragedy of modern Islam is in its endless sequence of tragedies. Before my time, the brutal Soviet invasion of Afghanistan horrified many Muslims. When I was in high school, Bosnia occupied all our attention. There was of course Russia's brutal war on the Chechen people \u2014 Dzhokhar shares his name with a recent Chechen patriot -- and Israel's ongoing occupation of the Palestinian territories. And the blows against Muslims don't end there. There was Serbia's war on Kosovo, another war in Chechnya, the invasion of Iraq, oppression in Myanmar, civil strife in Syria, the colonization of East Turkestan, massacres of Muslims in the Central African Republic, wars on a besieged Gaza and West Bank still under Israeli rule. Imagine how this looks to a restless young Muslim. Countless places where co-religionists have been killed, and nobody seems to do anything about it. Nobody even wants to. Extremists have long offered crude reasons for why the violence was happening,", "summary": "Haroon Moghul: Tsarnaev found guilty in terrorist bombing of Boston Marathon.

And on Tuesday night, Kenyans remembered them as innocent victims of a terrorist attack that stunned a nation and left communities heartbroken. The gathering started with quiet chatter among a crowd of hundreds before mourners went silent and moved toward one end of Nairobi's Uhuru Park. Organizers unloaded 147 crosses from a truck and quietly planted them in the ground. Mourners read names of some of the victims as candles flickered in the dark. The crowd then sang the national anthem. The attack at a university in Garissa on Thursday killed 147 people, mostly students. The Al-Shabaab militant group claimed responsibility. As the country mourned the victims, others took to social media to humanize them by sharing their stories. They talked about aspiring lawyers, doctors and teachers. \"I can't even look at pictures of the people killed without crying,\" said Mary Wambui, 32, who lives in Nakuru, hundreds of miles from Garissa. \"They were just children. They were trying to make a better life for themselves. Some were first to go to college in their communities. They died trying to get an education.\" Using the hashtag #147notjustanumber, Kenyans used social media to talk about the lives of the victims. They shared pictures of beaming faces, full of life and energy, in happier days. They talked about parents too shocked to speak after identifying their children's bodies. \"We need to talk about the bright futures cut short,\" said Boniface Mwangi, who organized the vigil. \"Today's meeting will be a calling to say, 'We need to remember the 147; they are not just a number.' We are trying to avoid remembering these people as just a number.\" Some students remain unaccounted for, and wailing relatives alternate their searches between hospitals and morgues. Kenyan authorities have not released a list of the names of the victims. At Uhuru Park, right next to the crosses, a bulletin board featured 32 photos of the young students. \"With the previous attacks, there's been a sense of the victims just being numbers,\" Doreen Areri said. \"The idea behind this is to have faces behind the numbers. We need to hear their stories, their dreams.\" Kellie Murungi said she got some solace from the vigil. \"In 2010, I was in a grenade attack in downtown Nairobi and every time there's a terrorist attack, it hits too close to home,\" Murungi said. \" It's not just happened to me, but many others.\" The vigil was important for the healing process, she said, because \"we shouldn't have people walking around with scars.\" It was the deadliest attack in the nation since al Qaeda killed more than 200 people at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in 1998. In the Garissa attack, the terrorists separated Christians from Muslims, making some recite verses from the Quran.

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)ISIS is a problem that is \"off the charts historically\" and has sent the United States into \"uncharted territory\" when it comes to putting down the terror group, the Obama administration's point man in the fight recently told CNN. The comments, which Brett McGurk made in an exclusive interview, were some of the administration's strongest to date in describing the challenge the United States and its allies face in battling ISIS. \"This is a problem that is off the charts historically,\" he said, referring to the more than 20,000 foreign fighters who have gone into Syria. \"Just put that into perspective: It's about twice the number that went into Afghanistan in the 1980s over a 10-year period to fight the Soviet Union, and those came really from only a handful of countries.\" He concluded, \"We're in unchartered territory here.\" McGurk just returned from an urgent summit of coalition nations held in Jordan. Last week, Canada became the latest nation to conduct airstrikes against ISIS over Syria. The United States now lists 62 countries in the coalition. As the U.S.-led coalition has focused attention on Iraq and Syria, ISIS has expanded its reach to Libya, Egypt and Yemen, often with existing extremist groups pledging allegiance to the militants. McGurk did not rule out expanding U.S. military action beyond Iraq and Syria to combat the increasing regional threat. \"We have a lot of tools to protect ourselves and our national security interests, some of which are military tools,\" he said. \"Of course we apply those tools when the president determines and our chain of command makes the recommendation that that is the right thing to do.\" The United States has also been stepping up efforts to involve Sunni groups in the fight against ISIS. To date, that involvement has been extremely limited as Sunni tribes see Shiite militias, many with horrendous human rights records, take the lead. But McGurk said that Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is making progress getting Sunni tribes to support a planned Iraqi offensive against ISIS in Anbar province in the coming weeks. He stressed the importance of working with al-Abadi, noting that the Iraqi leader was in Anbar province last week handing out more than 1,000 AK-47s to tribal fighters who are going to join the Iraqi security forces. \"We are helping to enable and train (them) as they begin to go on the offensive over the coming weeks and months in Anbar,\" McGurk said. \"They put out this very perverse, twisted vision, and it's very attractive to a lot of young men around the world,\" he acknowledged. \"But in fact, what the foreign fighters are finding in Syria and Iraq is that they're more likely to get killed in Iraq and Syria, and in fact, instead of getting a slave bride as ISIS leaders promise them, they're more likely to get killed by a female Peshmerga fighter in the streets of Kobani.\" That bottom line, he assessed, could turn the tide: \"The foreign fighters are learning the reality of what it's like when they go to join", "summary": "Obama's point man in ISIS fight doesn't rule out U.S. military action beyond Iraq and Syria .

Of these, Nigerians are splashing out the most cash when it comes to bricks and mortar in the British capital -- typically spending between $22 and $37 million on securing a property, according to luxury property agents Beauchamp Estates. Their research shows that over the past three years Africans have spent over $900 million on luxury residential property in London. \"The new international African is very well-traveled,\" explains Nkontchou. \"Educated in the U.S., UK and different parts of Europe their taste is definitely more modern and clean.\" 'Safe-Haven' Owning a home in post codes like W1 or W8 -- around the corner from Kensington Palace -- means more than having a place to lay your head.

+{"article": "London (CNN)The Pentagon released a map this week showing coalition forces have taken back 25-30% of Iraqi territory seized by ISIS. The map, above, shows gains in key central and northern areas of Iraq where the terror group was previously the dominant force. The gains made in the fight against the terror group by Iraqi security forces and coalition air power certainly look impressive -- although as the U.S. Department of Defense acknowledges it's a dynamic conflict and territory can change hands depending on \"daily fluctuations in the battle lines.\" So, how exactly should we read this information? What does it say about the wider fight against ISIS? CNN asked Afzal Ashraf, a counterinsurgency specialist and consulting fellow at the Royal United Services Institute to give us a steer on what this new data tells us about the fight against ISIS in Iraq. Below is an edited version of the conversation. CNN: So, is the tide turning in Iraq -- is the coalition winning? Afzal Ashraf: When it comes to insurgencies it's always problematic to think about the tide turning in terms of territorial gains because insurgencies by their very nature are extremely good at adapting to change. The one difference between ISIS and insurgencies in general is that ISIS declared itself a state, a caliphate once had territory so any loss is very strategic loss of prestige and image for them. (There have been) significant gains against ISIS -- particularly in Tikrit -- and it's no coincidence we've seen ISIS make spectacular attacks in refugee centers in Syria. It's asymmetric warfare, they know they cannot hold conventional force back for very long so what they do is they withdraw ... then take initiative elsewhere. They have to distract attention from those losses by gains and attacks elsewhere. It continues their image of initiative, of shocking, of reshaping the world -- which is what they are trying to do. CNN: What does the map tell us about the coalition's strategy? AA: It's very telling. There are losses but most of the losses are around the edges of their territory and what that means is a very conventional push forward by the Iraqi forces. It's a push against the front line of ISIS rather than being brave and creative and going in behind ISIS's lines and breaking it up. What this isn't is using maneuverist warfare -- which is a military philosophy that exploits the capabilities of conventional forces to project power by using air forces to take land along main supply routes and put friendly forces on that land to cut land into chunks which causes massive disruption to command and control and their supply chains which can cause forces to collapse much more rapidly than a frontal push. The capability you need (for this kind of warfare) is much more high-tech than the capabilities the Iraqis have. Those capabilities are available in the region -- Jordanians, Egyptians and other forces have helicopters and aircraft -- and it's very interesting that the Middle Eastern nations have not developed an effective coalition to", "summary": "Pentagon releases map showing coalition forces have taken back 25-30% of Iraq territory from ISIS .

+{"article": "(CNN)In 1944, 16-year-old Yong Soo Lee of Taegu, Korea, was lured by a friend of hers to meet with an older Japanese man. The man took the two of them, and three other teenage girls, by train, then ship, to Taiwan. There, the girls were forced into sexual slavery, serving four to five Japanese soldiers every day for a year. Lee suffered beatings and torture, was infected with a venereal disease, was fed paltry amounts of food, faced temperatures so cold that ice formed on her body, and was never allowed outside. Only the end of World War II brought her relief. Lee is just one example of the over 200,000 women from Korea, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, and other Asian nations, who were kidnapped and sexually enslaved by the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. These so-called \"comfort women\" suffered unimaginable physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. When Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe addresses a Joint Meeting of Congress on Wednesday, he has an opportunity to do right by these women, and issue an unequivocal and irrefutable apology -- something that carries the weight of his government. In 2007, in the very same chamber the prime minister will be issuing his address, the House of Representatives sent a profound message to the Japanese government by unanimously passing House Resolution 121, which I authored. The resolution called on the Japanese government to formally acknowledge, apologize, and accept historical responsibility in a clear and unequivocal manner for its Imperial Armed Forces' coercion of young women into sexual slavery; publicly refute any claims that the sexual enslavement and trafficking of the \"comfort women\" never occurred; and educate current and future generations about this horrible crime. We are still waiting for their government to comply. In 2006, during his first term, Prime Minister Abe unleashed an international firestorm of criticism when he stated that there was no evidence of Japanese coercion and complicity in setting up and running the \"comfort women\" system. And during his second term, Abe and his right-wing allies have continued to question history -- even trying to dilute and rewrite it. Last year, I, along with 17 of my House colleagues, wrote to the Japanese Ambassador to the United States, calling the timing and contents of the Japanese government report on the 1993 Kono statement: regrettable, unfortunate, unacceptable, and destabilizing. Last year, meanwhile, the Abe administration tried (and failed) to get the United Nations to partially retract their authoritative 1996 report, which called on Japan to apologize to the victims and pay reparations to survivors who had been forced into sex slavery. Most notably, earlier this year, the Japanese government tried unsuccessfully to change passages in U.S. history textbooks about the \"comfort women.\" Some say that Japan has already apologized enough and it's time to move on.

This is the kind of fast day I'm after: . to break the chains of injustice, . get rid of exploitation in the workplace, . free the oppressed, . cancel debts. The McDonald's announcement that the company is going to raise wages for 90,000 of its employees is a significant victory for fast-food cooks and cashiers and those of us who support them. By standing up together, fast-food workers are making it less acceptable for profitable companies like McDonald's to pay wages so low that its workers are boxed into poverty. But this action, which would raise starting wages at 1,500 McDonald's-owned restaurants to at least $1 an hour more than the minimum wage set by local law, falls short in three important ways . First, it leaves out the vast majority of McDonald's workers. The announcement only affects 10% of the McDonald's restaurants in the United States, ignoring the employees who work at franchised McDonald's restaurants. That means hundreds of thousands of workers serving Big Macs and fries won't see a dollar more in their paychecks. McDonald's claims that it has no responsibility for those franchises, but its workers, and the National Labor Relations Board, disagree. Secondly, this raise isn't nearly enough. One dollar above the minimum wage isn't enough to make paying for groceries, rent and transportation much easier, especially coming from a company that makes nearly $5 billion a year in profits. It's not enough for clothing or health care. It's not enough, as people of my faith say, for those cooks and cashiers to afford their daily bread. Thirdly, the raise does nothing to help workers have a voice in determining their workplace conditions. McDonald's and other companies need to stop trying to prevent their workers from speaking out together in a union. They should respect workers' right to collectively demand sensible schedules and such basics as adequate first aid kits, and not being compelled to work off the clock. We are at a turning point in American history. We are at a Third Reconstruction. We are at the moment when forces come together to push this country forward toward the goal of a better life for all: sustainable wages, affordable health care, quality education, and, respect for workers' right to stick together in unions so they can be heard. We are wining this fight, and the McDonald's announcement is proof that the momentum is on our side. When all McDonald's workers have more money in their pockets, they will inject money back into their neighborhoods, boosting the entire economy. Instead of houses in foreclosure and hungry children, we would have a rising wage floor and thriving communities that support more jobs. Today, thousands of McDonald's workers live below the federal poverty line. Many get help from government programs, especially food stamps, to make it week to week.

In an op-ed published by The New York Times on Wednesday, Nick Loeb explained his rationale for fighting to keep the two female embryos he shares with the actress. \"I wanted to keep this private, but recently the story broke to the world,\" Loeb wrote. \"It has gotten attention not only because of the people involved -- my ex is Sofia Vergara, who stars in the ABC series \"Modern Family\" -- but also because embryonic custody disputes raise important questions about life, religion and parenthood.\" Loeb says he met the actress in 2010 and they got engaged two years later, at which point they decided to create the embryos and conceive a child via a surrogate. After two attempts failed to bring fertilized embryos to term, they created two more embryos using her eggs and his sperm. \"When we create embryos for the purpose of life, should we not define them as life, rather than as property?,\" he said. \"... A woman is entitled to bring a pregnancy to term even if the man objects. Shouldn't a man who is willing to take on all parental responsibilities be similarly entitled to bring his embryos to term even if the woman objects?\" Loeb said he filed a complaint against the 42-year-old actress to prevent her from destroying their two embryos conceived through in vitro fertilization. He filed it in August in Santa Monica, California, where they apparently lived while they dated. \"We signed a form stating that any embryos created through the process could be brought to term only with both parties' consent. The form did not specify -- as California law requires -- what would happen if we separated,\" he said. \" I am asking to have it voided.\" Representatives for Vergara have declined to comment in the past. Loeb has said he believes \"life begins at fertilization\" and wants to implant the embryos in a surrogate and bring them to term. He said he doesn't want any money from the egg donor. The case has led to questions about who has the right to embryos. Typically, a prior legal agreement between a couple spells out who has ultimate authority, said fertility specialist Dr. David Tourgeman, who's not involved in this case. \"Usually when embryos are created, whether the couple is married or just consenting adults, there's usually a power of attorney that is described to these embryos, if they are frozen for future use,\" he said. In most cases, the mother or the origin of the egg is given power of attorney, although anyone can make a request, Tourgeman said. If there's a disagreement, the courts usually get involved to decide who legally owns the embryos, he said.

Cooking, however, may be a positive distraction from dark memories. How I was smuggled into Europe -- and why it was worth it . We boarded the Finance Police's ship, the Calabrese, in Lampedusa harbor earlier in the evening. The Calabrese regularly patrols the Mediterranean off Lampedusa, which is Italy's southernmost territory and just 70 miles, or just over 110 kilometers, from the Tunisian coast. In recent years, it has been the first point of entry to Europe for tens of thousands of migrants from Africa and the Middle East. A few years ago, the Calabrese was on the look out for \"contrabandisti,\" smugglers trafficking in cigarettes and drugs. But in recent years, its 12-man crew has joined Italy's effort to rescue migrants coming from Africa and the Middle East. We spend seven hours on board the ship, but nothing much happens. We see some Italian fishing boats the crew knew by sight. Shortly after sunset, the Calabrese's captain, Gianluca Busonera, begins calling out quick orders to his men as we approach a small boat. The easy-going crew seem to tense up. One man turns on a bright spotlight and focuses the beam on the boat, while another with powerful binoculars read out the name on the back. Busonera peers intently at the boat, which appears to be a fishing vessel, then shrugs. \"It's fine,\" he tells me. \"If it were low in the water, we'd know it was full of people, but this boat is riding high.\" He waves to the Tunisian boat, where an older man in a jacket waves back. Busonera gives him a thumbs up, and steers the ship to the right. It's a routine evening for the Calabrese, and that is just fine with the crew. They've seen enough troubles in their time to appreciate an uneventful day's work. Back in the galley, I ask Cortese about his worst experience while serving at sea with the Guardia di Finanza. He and most of his shipmates took part in the rescue effort on October 3, 2013, after a ship with hundreds of migrants had gone down off Lampedusa. More than 350 people died in that disaster.

+{"article": "(CNN)Actress Mindy Kaling's brother says that he posed as a black man years ago to get into medical school and that the experience opened his eyes to what he calls the hypocrisy of affirmative action. The revelation comes as Vijay Chokal-Ingam, who is of Indian descent, is pitching a book about his experiences as a \"hard-partying college frat boy who discovered the seriousness and complexity of America's racial problems while posing as a black man.\" On his website, AlmostBlack.com, Chokal-Ingam says he hatched the plan in 1998 after realizing in college that his grades weren't going to be good enough to get into med school as an Indian-American. \"So, I shaved my head, trimmed my long Indian eyelashes, and applied to medical school as a black man,\" he wrote on the website. \"My change in appearance was so startling that my own fraternity brothers didn't recognize me at first.\" He says he joined an organization for black students and applied to schools using his middle name, JoJo. The plan had some drawbacks, said Chokal-Ingam, who describes himself now as a \"professional resume writer, interview coach, and graduate school application consultant.\" \"Cops harassed me. Store clerks accused me of shoplifting. Women were either scared of me or couldn't keep their hands off me,\" he wrote. \"What started as a devious ploy to gain admission to medical school turned into a twisted social experiment.\" He says it worked. Despite a relatively mediocre 3.1 college grade-point average and a good-but-not-great score of 31 on the Medical College Admission Test, Chokal-Ingam claims he was wooed by several top medical schools. He even posts documents on his website to bolster his claims, including an enthusiastic letter from a dean at the Emory University School of Medicine congratulating him on his \"excellent scores\" on the MCAT. But there's little evidence to suggest his posturing as a \"black\" applicant helped him get into these schools. First, there is no point of comparison: Chokal-Ingam never applied to medical schools as an Indian-American. Ultimately, he told CNN he applied at 22 medical schools and interviewed at 11. He was wait-listed at four schools and got into only one. Chokal-Ingam eventually attended Saint Louis University Medical School, dropping out after two years. Affirmative action has been in the news a lot the past few years, with a 2013 Supreme Court ruling that tightened how affirmative action admissions programs have to be structured and a 2014 ruling that upheld the University of Michigan's ban on the use of race in admissions. Chokal-Ingam says his story shows how affirmative action \"destroys the dreams of millions of Indian-American, Asian American, and white applicants for employment and higher education.\" \"It also creates negative stereotypes about the academic abilities and professional skills of African-American and Hispanic professionals, who don't need special assistance in order to compete with other minority groups,\" he wrote.

Then more ominously on December 23 last year, computers at the country's nuclear operator were breached. Again cybercrime was suspected. The source of these attacks? North Korea. And South Korean investigators say they have proof -- the actual malicious codes used in the attacks. They shared this data with CNN. The 2013 attack, known as \"Dark Seoul,\" paralyzed an estimated 48,000 computers at a number of major banks and broadcasters, disrupting network systems and wiping their hard disks clean. \"It would try to delete essentially all your files... then restart the system. You would come back up and nothing would be there,\" Joshua James, a digital forensic expert, told CNN. \"If it infected more financial systems, it could have deleted all financial data in Korea. I mean, it is dangerous,\" the visiting professor at Chuncheon's Hallym University added. Live footage of the breaches showed computer screens at the media companies completely down, while bank customers were unable to make withdrawals, or transfer money online. \"Dark Seoul\" happened shortly after the North Korean government announced it would end the armistice agreement that brought the three-year Korean War to an end in July 1953 amid growing tensions with its neighbor. The latest high-profile digital incursion, in December, attempted to steal data from South Korea's nuclear operator, including plant blueprints and personnel information. Though investigators said no critical data was stolen, the attack raised serious concerns about the safety and security of the 23 nuclear power plants it runs. The attack itself was described by James as a \"spear-fishing\" exercise where unsuspecting victims -- retired and current employees of the nuclear operator -- were prompted to open up a disguised document in their email. \"As soon as you double click on it, it starts running in the background of your computer where you can't see ... it's also trying to open up your computer -- what we call a back door -- to give access to the infected system by the attacker,\" he told CNN. The attack, which James said was simpler than \"Dark Seoul,\" came just a few days after Sony Pictures said their systems has been \"hacked,\" another attack the South Korean authorities blamed on North Korea. \"From a law enforcement or investigation side, we're trying to actually trace back to who did it,\" said James. Seoul announced in mid-March that some of the IP addresses used in December incursion could be traced back to Shenyang, China, which can be easily accessed from the North Korean border. Codes used in the attack were said to be similar in pattern to those used by the North Koreans, South Korean authorities said. \"The malicious codes used in the attack were same in composition and working methods as \"Kimsuky\" codes known to be used by North Korea,\" the prosecutor's office that leads 17 other government agencies and Internet companies in the investigation said in the statement in March.

The students (aged 8 to 14) at the Ibnu-Siina school in northern Kenya are getting a so-called \"Western\" education, taking lessons in subjects like mathematics, science and English. But it's an education that Al-Shabaab -- the Somali-based terror group -- is trying to prevent the children from obtaining, according to the head of the school. \"These men, Al-Shabaab, want to make sure everything goes negative,\" headmaster James Ndonye told CNN. \"They want to make sure they terrify the teachers so they go to their homes -- so the kids in this area don't get what they deserve.\" Al-Shabaab militants have launched a series of deadly attacks over the last few years in the region mostly targeting Christians. Many of the math and science teachers in this area are Christian. In early April, Al-Shabaab brutally massacred 147 people at Garissa University in northern Kenya. It was the group's deadliest attack to date. The gunmen would have driven down the road past the Ibnu-Siina school -- and its single unarmed guard -- to get to the university, only a few hundred meters away. Kenyan teachers and students alike are terrified. \"The University College of Garissa was the only and first university college in northern Kenya. We were happy when we got it a few years ago,\" explained Garissa Regional Governor Nadif Jama. \"Today it has been closed. That is Al-Shabaab's mission,\" Jama said. \"That is what they want. And that is nothing but destroying the fabric of our being a civilized society.\" And it's not just in Kenya. Terrorist groups across the Sahel region are waging war on schools, teachers and students. In northeast Nigeria, the Islamist militant group Boko Haram has been waging war against the government -- and the civilian population -- for several years. Most notoriously, perhaps, was Boko Haram's kidnapping of around 270 girls from a boarding school in Chibok, Borno state, last April. But the group has also carried out numerous other attacks on schools, slaughtering young boys and girls as they sleep in their dormitories. Last year in Garissa, James Ndonye lost five of his 11 teachers amid rising fears of an Al-Shabaab attack on the school. He replaced them, but it wasn't easy. Yet despite the ever-present threat of terror, Ndonye has stayed to help the children. \"I risk my life because -- for this class, there's a target we have for last year ... and I love that class very much,\" Ndonye said.

British and American aid workers, Japanese and American journalists, Kurdish and Syrian soldiers and Egyptian and now Ethiopian Christians were among those who followed in Foley's wake: their gruesome beheadings documented on camera and disseminated as propaganda to a global online audience. These highly ritualized killings have galvanized international opposition to the group -- and helped attract a wave of foreign recruits to the ISIS cause. But beyond this, some experts such as psychology professor Arie W. Kruglanski suggest, the wave of savage beheadings may be having an unlikely knock-on effect. He says the spate of jihadist beheadings may be encouraging copy-cat acts or threats of decapitation -- not only from Islamists, but from the \"disbelievers\" they target. Kruglanski, distinguished professor of psychology at the University of Maryland, says the frequent, high profile reports of ISIS beheadings could result in psychologically \"priming\" people to be more inclined to emulate them, or threaten to, during moments of conflict or extreme stress. Because of the attention that jihadist beheadings have commanded internationally, \"the very concept of beheading, that was virtually non-existent in our unconscious prior to these events being propagated, is now there,\" he told CNN. \"It comes to mind when a conflict happens, when you react aggressively,\" he said. \"It sits there in our unconscious and can be activated under certain circumstances when the passions run high, and result in actual behavior.\" Reports of beheadings also emerge from Saudi Arabia, where it is a legal method of execution under the country's judicial code; and Mexico and Brazil, where it is typically the work of criminal gangs. But neither has placed the practice in the global spotlight to anything like the same degree as ISIS's propaganda, in which the threat is extended to \"disbelievers\" around the globe. A similar copy-cat effect had been observed with the phenomenon of school mass shootings, said Kruglanski. \"Once the idea is planted then when someone is upset, feeling violent, the idea of getting a gun and shooting up a school comes more readily to mind, because it's sitting there in our unconscious,\" he said. A lack of hard data on the global incidence of beheadings makes it impossible to say conclusively whether such killings are being carried out by non-jihadists more often. But reports of such cases have been frequently making the headlines. In December and January, two victims were decapitated -- outside a Florida home, and in a shopping mall in China's Shaanxi province -- in crimes with no apparent connection to terror. In London alone, a city deeply impacted by the murder and attempted decapitation of soldier Lee Rigby by Islamic extremists in 2013, three women were reportedly beheaded last year in alleged crimes with no apparent jihadist motivation. And in the United States, an Oklahoma man is awaiting trial, accused of beheading a co-worker in September.

+{"article": "Boston (CNN)After weeks of dramatic and emotionally wrenching testimony in the Boston Marathon bombing trial, jurors deliberated for more than seven hours Tuesday. But they haven't reached a verdict yet. The jurors sent out two questions, which are scheduled to be addressed when they return to court Wednesday morning. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 21-year-old accused Boston Marathon bomber, faces life in prison or the death penalty. On Monday, the jury saw a video of the moment a bomb exploded and disemboweled an 8-year-old boy and ripped the leg off his sister. The blast killed a 23-year-old graduate student from China. The jurors heard more horror from April 15, 2013. At one point, prosecutors played a video that showed the scene after a bomb exploded -- blood and injured victims everywhere and the sounds of a child howling. His mother lost her leg. \"The defendant brought terrorism into the backyards and main streets,\" Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty said. \"The defendant thought that his values were more important than the people around him. He wanted to awake the mujahedeen, the holy warriors, so he chose Patriots' Day, Marathon Monday,\" a time for families to gather and watch the marathon. Tsarnaev's defense attorney Judy Clarke tried to persuade jurors that her client's older brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a shootout with police days after the terror attack, was the instigator of the marathon plot. The younger man, Clarke said, was only following his older brother. \"If not for Tamerlan, it would not have happened,\" Clarke argued. Bomb survivors and victims' family members wiped away tears and comforted one another in court. Tsarnaev fidgeted at the defense table as he has done throughout the trial. Bill Richard, father of bomb victim Martin Richard, 8, craned his neck to watch Tsarnaev as the prosecutor spoke. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev \"chose a day when the eyes of the world would be on Boston,\" Chakravarty said. \"He chose a day when there would be civilians on the sidewalks, and he targeted those civilians: men, women and children.\" The lawyer waited a beat. \"He wanted to terrorize this country. He wanted to punish America for what it was doing to his people.\" The prosecutor showed a picture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, in the marathon crowd. The day of the bombings, Chakravarty said, \"they felt they were soldiers. They were the mujahedeen and they were bringing their battle to Boston.\" Tsarnaev is accused of 30 counts, including setting off weapons of mass destruction at a public event as an act of terrorism. Seventeen of those counts carry a sentence of death or life imprisonment. If Tsarnaev is found guilty of at least one of the 17 capital counts, the trial will proceed to a second phase, the so-called penalty phase. That part of the trial will include evidence of aggravating and mitigating factors, and the jury will be asked to weigh elements that make this crime especially heinous against details from Tsarnaev's background and mental health history that would weigh in his favor. Since testimony began March 4,", "summary": "Court has adjourned for the day after more than seven hours of deliberations . Jurors sent out two questions that are set to be addressed Wednesday .

Before reporting for duty, the 30-year-old prince visited the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, the capital, paying his respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier. A crowd of onlookers gathered outside the memorial. Some snapped photos of the royal visitor, while one boy held a sign celebrating the prince's hair color: \"Red Heads Rule!\" During his time down under, Harry \"will work and live alongside colleagues in the Australian Army in a number of regiments in Sydney, Darwin and Perth,\" the Australian Defence Forces said last week. He has already spent time with Australian troops on a number of occasions during his 10-year military career, according to a royal spokesman. \"Prince Harry has trained and served alongside Australian armed forces on operational tours to Afghanistan; he has met them during the Invictus Games; and even trekked to the South Pole with a couple of Australian soldiers,\" the spokesman said ahead of the visit. The younger son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Harry is known in the British Army as \"Captain Harry Wales,\" from his official title and name, His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales. He began his formal military duties in 2005 at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Last month, he announced that he would be leaving the armed forces in June, describing the decision as \"really tough.\" Australian military officials say the prince's program with them will be \"challenging.\" It will involve training in urban settings and patrolling the Australian bush, as well as aviation activities and fire exercises. He'll also participate in regular activities such as physical training and pack marches. Another focus of Harry's visit is to spend time meeting wounded, injured and ill service members in Australia. \"Wounded warriors\" are a special interest for Prince Harry. He helped spearhead and continues to champion the Invictus Games, a competition for former military personnel who have been wounded in the line of duty.

+{"article": "(CNN)Hillary Clinton is now officially a candidate for president -- and the never ending Clinton story rumbles on. She has been a part of all our lives now for approaching a quarter of a century. She started as the first lady that the right loved to hate, then the deceived wife, next a senator, then a candidate for president in one of the most dynamic primaries in history and finally, a secretary of state. The Republicans have their aristocratic Bushes, the Democrats have their Clintons. And if Hillary or Jeb were to win two presidential terms, then in the 44 years from 1981 to 2025, 28 will have had a Clinton or a Bush in the White House. The great American republic now looks about as democratic as \"Game of Thrones.\" But even though Hillary Clinton has been around nearly my entire lifetime, The Economist may speak for many when it asks: \"What does Hillary stand for?\" There is a paradox she presents: She is by far the best-known presidential candidate across both parties and, for the moment, almost unchallenged within her own. Yet even though Diane Feinstein can assert confidently that Hillary \"doesn't 'need' (the White House). But she wants it\" -- the question unanswered is \"What for?\" And for liberals, who believe that government is there to do something, it's this lack of definition that is surely so disconcerting about Clinton. There are good grounds for a liberal primary challenge to Clinton. The economy has revived under Obama but, say critics, largely to the benefit of Wall Street and the super-rich. The riots in Ferguson, Missouri, were a painful reminder that the poor, particularly the nonwhite poor, have been left behind. Clinton's credentials as a fighter against inequality are mixed. It is true, as the Wall Street Times notes, that she has previously called for \"universal prekindergarten, equal pay for women, increases in the minimum wage, paid family leave, higher taxes on the wealthy and an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit for working-poor families.\" But she counts among her friends precisely those corporate people blamed by the Occupy crowd for the country's inequality. Clinton is now, wisely, trying to distance herself from the Clinton Foundation -- after all, its fundraising efforts among foreign interests are hardly the stuff of populist liberalism. Then there is her foreign policy record. Clinton voted in 2002 to authorize the Iraq War (though in her memoir last year, she backed away from the vote, writing that she \"got it wrong.\") As secretary of state, she is easily associated in the mind of the left with such controversies as the war in Syria, the crisis in Libya and the collapse of the Mubarak regime in Egypt. That some of these may have had little to do with her is beside the point. Clinton is going to have to spend a sizeable amount of time during the primaries explaining and defending the things that occurred while she was working for the Obama administration. Her personal ethics are on the agenda, too -- as demonstrated by the flap", "summary": "Timothy Stanley: Hillary Clinton running for president, but it's not clear what she stands for.

+{"article": "(CNN)Launching rockets is a complicated thing. Landing them upright on a platform floating in the ocean? Well, that's never been done before. SpaceX, the private space exploration company founded by billionaire Elon Musk, hopes to give it a try. But weather forced it to scrub Monday's plan to launch. SpaceX said on Twitter that Tuesday at 4:10 p.m. ET will be the next opportunity for the company to launch a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket carrying an uncrewed cargo spacecraft called Dragon on a flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to the International Space Station. That will be the easy part. After the launch, SpaceX will try to guide the bottom stage of the rocket upright onto a platform, or what it calls an autonomous spaceport drone ship, in the Atlantic Ocean off Florida. Usually booster rockets burn up in Earth's atmosphere or, like NASA's space shuttle boosters, they fall back into the ocean. So why try to land one? Musk wants to cut costs. On his company's website, he says that if anyone can figure out how to \"reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred.\" SpaceX tried to land a Falcon 9 on the drone ship in January, but the rocket hit at an angle and exploded. The company has previously said the odds of a successful landing are about 50%. If you want to see how it goes, it will post photos online throughout the mission and will put video on YouTube. And if the landing doesn't work? SpaceX says it will keep trying and, after it masters landing at sea, hopes to someday land rockets on the ground. What about the rest of the rocket and the Dragon? The smaller, top part of the rocket will carry the Dragon into orbit and then break away from the cargo ship and burn up in Earth's atmosphere. The Dragon will dock with the space station a couple of days after launch to deliver more than 4,300 pounds (1,950 kilograms) of supplies, including research equipment and ISSpresso, an espresso maker that astronauts can use to make coffee and tea. The space station crew will spend about five weeks unpacking the Dragon. They'll then stuff it with over 3,000 pounds of science experiments, trash and other stuff to send back to Earth. When they're done, Dragon will leave the space station and mission controllers will guide it to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off California. This is the sixth SpaceX mission to the International Space Station. The company was the first private space contractor to dock with the station. CNN's Catherine E.

That's what happened,\" Minatel told CNN's Paula Newton moments after the incident. She was seated four rows behind Minatel, a professional soccer player traveling with his team. The incident occurred about a half-hour before the flight landed, after the pilots had begun their descent. \"I forced it (the cord) down and then other people came to help, and then I got out and he started saying that we were here to kill him,\" Minatel said. The man was not restrained for the rest of the trip, but the flight crew told him to stay seated with his seat belt on. The man kept trying to get out of his seat but other passengers yelled at him whenever he tried to stand up. The two-hour flight landed at Atlanta's Hartsfield airport at about 4:30 p.m. where it was met by U.S. authorities. The suspect was escorted off the plane. An FBI spokesman confirmed the agency responded to the incident. \"The passenger, however, was transported for medical/mental evaluation under the direction and coordination of the Atlanta Police Department,\" Special Agent Stephen Emmett said. \"While there are currently no federal charges pending, the facts of the matter are being relayed to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta.\" Minatel, a forward from Brazil, was traveling with his teammates from the Ottawa Fury Football Club of the second-division North American Soccer League.

+{"article": "(CNN)When Hong Kong police answered a call in the early hours of a Saturday morning last November, they encountered a grisly scene and an alleged crime that shocked the city. One woman was lying on the floor with cuts to her neck and buttocks. Another was stuffed inside a suitcase on the balcony. A former banker, 29-year-old Briton Rurik Jutting, was charged with two counts of murder. On Thursday, a court hearing that was to determine whether there was enough evidence to proceed to trial was adjourned until May. Here's what we know so far about the victims and their alleged attacker. Jutting allegedly lived at the murder scene, an upmarket apartment in the middle of Wan Chai, an inner-city suburb that's home to an eclectic mix of late-night bars, residential tower blocks and local markets selling groceries and assorted cheap goods. In the early hours of Saturday morning, November 1, police say Jutting called them to the apartment. There they found a woman lying on the blood-splattered floor, later identified as 29-year-old Seneng Mujiasih. During a search of the apartment, officers uncovered another body hidden in a suitcase on the balcony. It's alleged 25-year-old Sumarti Ningsih was killed on October 27, five days before her body was found. Sumarti Ningsih was from Cilacap, in Central Java, and was the mother of a five-year-old girl. In a statement, her cousin, Jumiati, described her as \"just an ordinary woman from Indonesia\" who, like many others, was \"forced to work abroad to feed her poor family and make her dream comes (sic) true.\" \"She wanted to work as professional so she can earn money and dignity for her family,\" Jumiati wrote. \"She is good girl and did not deserve this treatment.\" According to the Asian Migrant Coordinating Body, Ningsih was visiting Hong Kong as a tourist and had been due to fly back to Jakarta the day after her body was found. Last year, her grieving father, Ahmad Khaliman, told Agence France-Presse that his daughter had worked in Hong Kong as a domestic helper between 2011 and 2013. She'd since returned on two occasions, Khaliman said. He said the family had been shocked by her murder, and called for the perpetrator to be executed. \"If not, I cannot accept it. He has already taken my daughter's life, so he has to pay with his life,\" he told CNN affiliate Trans7. Seneng Mujiasih had more recently worked as a domestic worker in Hong Kong but had overstayed her visa, according to the Asian Migrant Co-ordinating Body. Also known as Jesse Lorena, Mujiasih was from the city of Muna in Sulawesi province, in southeast Indonesia. Other than that, few details are known about her life and why she stayed on in Hong Kong.

My guess is that the issues raised by the book will prompt Team Clinton to put its candidate on the road, where she can continue holding loosely scheduled, informal meetings with ordinary Americans -- the sorts of people more concerned about local jobs than whether some foreign government or company paid a big speaking fee to Bill Clinton in hopes of getting special treatment by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. It's not that the alleged conflicts aren't potentially serious; as I recently noted in these pages, they are. According to The Wall Street Journal, in 2014 the Clinton Foundation \"received money from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Oman, among others. The donors included Canada's foreign affairs department, which is promoting the Keystone XL pipeline.\" That's the same Keystone XL pipeline from Canada that the State Department all but endorsed, concluding after a five-part analysis that ran to 17,000 pages that the project's environmental impact would be minimal. President Obama vetoed a bill that would have allowed the pipeline to be built, but it's legitimate to ask whether the donation from Canada directly or indirectly influenced the State Department's analysis. And several news outlets have reported that banks and other companies with business before the U.S. government were donors to the Clinton Global Initiative, a sister group that was spun off from the Clinton Foundation. CNN's Alexandra Jaffe wrote last month that \"listings for the Clinton Global Initiative's Annual Meeting found partnerships with at least six banks that were under investigation, involved in litigation or had been fined by government agencies and regulators at the time of the meeting. In every case, the bank in question was listed as a sponsor of the event even after the investigations were widely reported in the media.\" Those are serious matters -- but so are stubborn unemployment, troubled schools, high taxes and other problems that top the list of voters' concerns. A bank giving money to charity in hopes of buying leniency from the government is a cause for concern, but until and unless a smoking gun appears in the form of a clear exchange of money for favors, it becomes hard to say what, exactly, is wrong with donating cash to aid in a good cause like combating world hunger or helping to rebuild Haiti. Even among the banks fined for wrongdoing that contributed to Clinton charities, noted Jaffe, \"there's no indication the Clintons had any knowledge of the ongoing investigations into banks supporting the foundation's efforts.\" That doesn't leave much room for outrage. A more serious critique of the Clinton foundations is that they have been an administrative and financial quagmire from their origins,", "summary": "Errol Louis: New book to detail alleged conflicts of interest with foreign donors to Clinton family charities .

Farther north, in the rural Illinois hamlet of Fairdale, one person died as a twister shredded homes and ripped trees bare of leaves and most limbs. Only the thickest branches remained standing. It was the only death reported so far in two days of tornado touchdowns. Rochelle was fortunate. But in nearby Kirkland, debris was so thick on the roads, responders searching for trapped residents could not yet assess the damage or injuries, fire officials said. On Thursday, a video surfaced on YouTube of a massive twister barreling across an open field, barely missing farmhouses and barns. Images of the funnel turned up elsewhere on social media. Multiple tornadoes ripped through the rural Midwest on Thursday. A large and dangerous twister tore across fields in Iowa. And a twister touched down 70 miles outside of St. Louis.

It could have been worse as severe tornado damage dotted a path not far from the dense populations of Chicago and Rockford -- the state's third largest city. The tornado cut a 22-mile path through Ogle County, according to disaster management coordinator Tom Richter. North of Rochelle, a tornado took away a local favorite restaurant -- Grubsteakers. \"It's kind of one of your little greasy spoon restaurants,\" said Eric Widick, who drove up in his truck to help out. \"We're a community.

It ended on Monday, when Scott Kelley and Mary Nunes entered the U.S. Consulate in Costa Rica and requested passports so they could return to the United States. The consulate notified U.S. Marshals, Berry said, and when Kelley and Nunes flew to Atlanta on Wednesday investigators were waiting for them. Mary Nunes, now 19, was interviewed by investigators at the Atlanta airport to ensure her health and safety and then allowed to continue to her final destination, Berry said. Previously, authorities had said her whereabouts were unknown. CNN New Hampshire affiliate WMUR reported that the daughter plans to testify at her mother's trial.

He learned that again shortly before noon Saturday, after a monster magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal. It not only rattled cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, but caused avalanches at Everest and nearby peaks. Reiter was safe but shaken by the devastation. He told his wife, Susan, about his putting one dead person in a sleeping bag and zipping it up, seeing others killed by the falling ice and collapsing snow, and doing all he could to help others fighting for their lives. \"It's been a really rough day,\" Susan Reiter told CNN. \"Jon's been comforting injured people that he doesn't think will survive.\" Jon Reiter told CNN on Sunday morning that 17 people had been killed on the mountain. The Indian Army's Everest Expedition evacuated the bodies of 13 mountaineers from a base camp who had been preparing to scale the mountain, spokesman Col. Rohan Anand said Saturday. Separately, Dr. Nima Namgyal told CNN he has seen 14 bodies so far. Many of those killed came from other countries, according to Namagyal, something that's not surprising given Everest's lure for many hikers around the world. What may be as remarkable is all those who survived, a number that's likely in the hundreds. They are women and men like Alex Gavan, who tweeted about running for his life from his tent. \"Huge disaster,\" the mountaineer said hours later, warning that the death toll could skyrocket if helicopters didn't come quickly to evacuate those hurt. \"Helped searched and rescued victims through huge debris area. Many dead. Much more badly injured. More to die if not heli asap.\" Another hiker, Carsten Lillelund Pedersen, wrote on Facebook that \"a huge avalanche swept over basecamp\" that had almost 500 tents, saying he survived by hiding behind a stone structure. Afterward, the camp's dining tent was transformed into a makeshift hospital headed by the camp manager, who happens to be a doctor. And even hours after the biggest quake struck, the threat of more casualties -- and the challenge of finding out how high the toll actually is -- remained very real. \"On top of the whiteout after the avalanche it has been snowing since last night so it is difficult to see the following avalanches, and there are so many - maybe one every 5 min - that I have stopped counting,\" Pedersen wrote on Facebook. \"This also makes it more difficult to search for people.\" Several companies specialize in bringing hikers to Everest. One of the biggest is Alpine Ascents International, based in Washington state. \"The Alpine Ascents International Mt.

His wife is eight months' pregnant and the city will continue paying for her medical insurance until the baby is born, North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey told reporters. He also has two stepchildren. His mother was interviewed by ABC News on Thursday. She told ABC her son loved being a police officer. \"I can't imagine him doing something that. ... It's not like him. That's just not his character,\" Karen Sharpe said. She told ABC she hasn't watched the video of the shooting. Slager initially told investigators that he used a Taser in a confrontation Saturday with Walter Scott, who was pulled over for a busted taillight. But Scott went for the Taser, according to Slager. A widely circulated video of the shooting death of the 50-year-old unarmed African-American man by the white police officer tells another story: Scott attempts to run. His back is to Slager, who, from a few yards away, raises his gun and fires. Slager is now charged with murder. The FBI is involved in the investigation of the slaying of the father of four. \"Shots fired and the subject is down,\" Slager said moments after the shooting, according to reports. \"He took my Taser.\" Slager was proficient with the nonlethal Taser. According to personnel records, he scored 50 out of 50 on a Taser certification exam in 2011. Before the officer starts firing at Scott, the video shows a dark object falling behind him and hitting the ground. It's not clear whether that is the Taser. Later in the video, when Slager approaches Scott's body, he drops a dark object next to the man. Again, it's not clear whether that's the Taser. It's unknown whether Scott took the officer's Taser or whether the officer picked the object up and moved it closer to the body. Slager was named in a police complaint in 2013 after he allegedly \"tased a man for no reason\" before slamming him to the ground and dragging him, according to the North Charleston Police Department. At the time, Slager was searching for a suspect who was described as being 5-feet-5-inches tall. The African-American man he confronted was 6-feet-3 inches tall. A lawyer for the man who filed the complaint, Mario Givens, said his client plans to file a lawsuit. \"The citizens of North Charleston shouldn't have to live in the fear,\" the lawyer, Eduardo Curry, told reporters Thursday. Givens said Slager came to his door, ordered him out of the house and then tased him. \"It was painful,\" he said. \"I fell. I have a couple bruises.\" Slager was later cleared in that incident. \"I was upset,\" Givens said. \"They took a real long time to even investigate the case.\" In another complaint in January, Slager was cited for failing to file a report after an African-American woman called police because her children were being harassed.

The exact timing of the Cuba trip wasn't immediately released, but the Vatican said the Pope would stop in Cuba before his planned late September stops in Washington, New York and Philadelphia. In Havana's Cathedral Square, people reacted joyously to the news. \"The Pope coming here, maybe he could ... make more positive ways for Cubans to go towards religion, more than politics,\" said Raul Garcia, a Cuban-American who returned to the island. \"I think it's going to be a very good visit, very beneficial for the country.\" \"We are waiting for him. We're very happy he is coming,\" said Ulises, a man who sells brightly colored paintings of antique cars to tourists on the street next to the sprawling Havana Cathedral. \"He should come and get to know it and walk around the pretty spots in Havana.\" Cuba's state-run television reported that Francis would visit, but like the Vatican did not report exactly when he would arrive. Francis, the first pope from Latin America, played a role in restarting diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States, earning praise from both U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro. The Pope made personal pleas to Obama and Cuban leaders in private letters, writing that the two nations should try to reset their relations after decades of friction. The Vatican also hosted talks between U.S. and Cuban delegations in October, where they hashed out aspects of a new trade policy and discussed the release of jailed American contractor Alan Gross, who was freed as part of the detente between the two countries. \"I want to thank His Holiness, Pope Francis, whose moral example shows us the importance of pursuing the world as it should be, rather than simply settling for the world as it is,\" Obama said in December as he announced a U.S. policy shift on Cuba. Since his election in 2013, Pope Francis has displayed a deep interest in international affairs. He repeatedly urged Western leaders not to bomb Syria, hosted a prayer service between Israeli and Palestinian leaders at the Vatican and waded into diplomatic controversy last week by referring to the killing of 1.5 million Armenians a century ago as a \"genocide.\" The latter move deeply upset Turkish leaders, who recalled their Vatican ambassador.

But Mui suffers from a rare genetic condition that leaves the skin on her face and body red raw and open to infection. \"I really don't think I knew that I didn't look like everybody else,\" she says. She was born with Harlequin ichthyosis, which means her skin is extremely thick, dry and flaky -- resembling fish scales. She can't sweat but she can shed tears. On the day we speak, her appearance raises few eyebrows at her local Starbucks in Sai Kung -- she's a familiar and well-known presence in the waterfront Hong Kong town where she grew up. Mui's struggle to come to terms with her condition and other people's reactions to it has, at times, left her on the brink of suicide. But, now 22, she refuses to let it get in the way of her life -- she has a full-time job, plays sport and is embarking on a career as public speaker -- educating and inspiring others about the challenges of looking \"visibly different.\" After she was abandoned at birth, long-time Hong Kong expats Tina and Rog Thomas began fostering Mui, when she was just one and a half years old. They were told she didn't have long to live. \"We wanted to give her a family life in the time she had,\" says Tina. However, Mui began to thrive in a loving family environment and Tina and Rog formally adopted Mui when she was three years old. Together they gradually learned how to manage her skin condition. Each day she bathes twice, ideally for two hours each time, and everywhere she goes she carries a backpack with three or four tubs of cream that she must apply throughout the day to stop her skin from drying out. She's thought to be the fourth oldest person alive with harlequin ichthyosis. The oldest is 31. But while Mui's unusual appearance made little difference during her early years, that changed when she started secondary school. The school she attended required that she be accompanied by a educational assistant, which put up a barrier between her and the other children and made it difficult for her to make friends. Things got worse when she became a victim of cyberbullying. She began to deny her appearance, stopped bathing, taking her medication and applying the cream. At times, she considered jumping from the balcony of her home. \"They'd say things like 'You shouldn't have been born' -- and very personal things that only people who knew me would know,\" she says. \"It made me very wary of everybody. Even when people tried to be nice, I didn't repay it. I didn't trust them.\" The worst episode lasted for 10 months and only stopped after police became involved and found the bully -- someone whom Mui thought was her friend.

McLean told Rolling Stone that it was time to part with the manuscript. \"I'm going to be 70 this year,\" the singer and songwriter said in February. \"I have two children and a wife, and none of them seem to have the mercantile instinct. I want to get the best deal that I can for them. It's time.\" Over the years, \"American Pie\" has become one of the most dissected and argued-about songs in the pop music canon. McLean has said that the opening lines were inspired by the death of Buddy Holly, but after that, it's all been conjecture -- which hasn't stopped a marching band's worth of analysts from trying to parse the symbols in the 8-minute, 33-second opus.

I was trying to capture something very ephemeral and I did, but it took a long time.\" The song catapulted the former folk singer to headliner status. The song hit No. 1 in early 1972, despite its length. (The 45-rpm single split the song in half on its A and B sides.) The draft that was auctioned is 16 pages: 237 lines of manuscript and 26 lines of typed text, according to Christie's. It includes lines that didn't make the final version as well as extensive notes -- all of which should be revealing, McLean said.

And it looks very different than the old one. Buoyed by a higher-than-normal 30% turnout, two African-American candidates won their wards Tuesday night to make the six-member City Council 50% black. Ferguson's population of about 21,000 is 70% black, but the City Council was predominantly white, as is the police force. Supporters of both candidates said that from the tragedy of a young black man's death, a new day dawned in Ferguson. Ella Jones screamed when her victory became official late Tuesday night. She won 49.76% of the vote. \"Thank you, Ward 1. I love you,\" an emotional Jones said at a party held at Drake's restaurant. She will become the first black woman ever to sit on the Ferguson council. But both Jones and Wesley Bell, who won the Ward 3 seat with nearly 67% of the vote, said they did not see their victories from a racial perspective. Jones, who resigned her job as a Mary Kay cosmetics sales director to run for office, said in her ward, she heard the same complaints from a 65-year-old black man as she did from his white peers. \"My job is to be that catalyst so we can put a new face on Ferguson,\" she said. Bell, a lawyer and criminal justice professor, said, \"I'm more interested in having quality on the council,\" when asked about the change in its racial makeup. He had made community policing his No. 1 priority and said he intends to be deeply involved with the hiring of a new police chief in this St. Louis suburb. The former chief, Tommy Jackson, resigned after a scathing U.S. Department of Justice report found systemic discrimination against African-Americans in law enforcement and the municipal court. Bell said he wants Ferguson's police officers to be judged by the number of people they know in the community, not by the number of tickets they issue. One other seat was up for grabs in Ferguson. That was won by Brian Fletcher, a former mayor who launched the \"I Love Ferguson\" campaign to raise money for mom-and-pop businesses that were hurt by the violence and vandalism during the protests last fall. Fletcher beat his opponent, Bob Hudgins, with 56.7% of the vote. Fletcher told voters he was best suited for a City Council job despite his critics' claims that he was too entrenched in the old guard. \"I understand that feeling, but those individuals don't know me,\" he said. Fletcher said he had contacts with elected officials from his almost three decades in politics. That would be an invaluable asset in getting Ferguson back on its feet, he said. The city is required to approve a new budget by the end of June, and the new council will have to look for alternative sources of revenue to replace the $3 million or so lost from money generated by traffic tickets and fines. \"That amount will drop significantly,\" Fletcher", "summary": "For the first time ever, Ferguson's City Council will be half black .

Commissioner-General Pierre Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl will assess the humanitarian situation in the camp and speak with individuals about ways to relieve the suffering of the people who remain there. \"The visit is prompted by UNRWA's deepening concern for the safety and protection of 18,000 Palestinians and Syrian civilians, including 3,500 children,\" agency spokesman Christopher Gunness told CNN's Paula Newton. \"Yarmouk remains under the control of armed groups, and civilian life continues to be threatened by the effects of the conflict.\" Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl will meet with senior Syrian officials, U.N. and relief agency staff members, and displaced people from the camp itself. The Yarmouk refugee camp, which sits just 6 miles from central Damascus, has been engulfed in fighting between the Syrian government and armed groups since December 2012. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the militant group ISIS and the al Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front control about 90% of the camp. The organization also claims that the Syrian government has dropped barrel bombs on the camp as recently as Sunday in an effort to drive out armed groups. Yarmouk was formed in 1957 to accommodate people displaced by the Arab-Israeli conflict and is the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Syria. The U.N. relief agency estimates that there were 160,000 people in the camp when the conflict began in 2011 between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and opposition fighters. That number has dropped to about 18,000, according to estimates. Yarmouk has been largely cut off from aid since November 2013. There have been widespread reports of malnutrition and shortages of medical care. \"We will not abandon hope,\" Gunness said. \"We will not submit to pessimism, because to abandon hope would be to abandon the people of Yarmouk. ...

Heather Mack, 19, who gave birth to her own daughter just weeks ago, was found guilty with her 21-year-old boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, of killing Sheila von Wiese-Mack on the Indonesian island last August. Schaefer was sentenced to 18 years in prison for battering von Wiese-Mack to death in room 317 of the St. Regis Bali Resort. Schaefer had claimed he killed his girlfriend's mother in self-defense after a violent argument erupted over the young couple's relationship. The beaten body of von Wiese-Mack was found in a large silver suitcase that the couple had loaded in a waiting taxi outside the resort. They told the driver they'd be back soon, but after a lengthy wait he alerted hotel staff who inspected the bag, noticed blood and called police. The lovers were arrested after being found the following morning at another hotel about 15 kilometers (nine miles) away. Inside the bag, von Wiese-Mack's body had been wrapped in hotel bedding. A forensic examination determined that she had died from a blunt force to the face that fractured her facial bones and caused her to suffocate. Described as a Chicago socialite, von Wiese-Mack was reported to have a troubled relationship with her teenage daughter. Schaefer denied that the murder was premeditated. He told the court that he acted in self-defense when his girlfriend's mother started strangling him during an argument in the Bali hotel room. \"She squeezed my neck for about 20 to 30 seconds. I couldn't breathe. I had blood going to my head and my eyes were so watery,\" Schaefer told the court. He said he reached for a nearby bowl \"before she could.\" \"I couldn't see for a moment because my eyes were so watery and I was distraught, I was in a state of mind, I had no idea what was happening. I was almost about to black out. And I grabbed it and I started swinging,\" he told the court. Mack told the court her mother had threatened to kill the couple's unborn baby, according to local media. The prosecutor alleged that the two planned the murder, because Mack's mother disapproved of their relationship. After being detained by police, the couple initially claimed they'd been taken captive at the resort by an armed gang, whose members killed Heather's mother, and from whom they managed to escape. The two were tried separately, though both trials were heard by the same court, with the same prosecutors. Prosecutors had sought a prison sentence of 18 years for Schaefer and 15 years for Mack. Under Indonesian law, Mack will be allowed to keep her baby with her in prison for two years, after which she can nominate who should take custody.

Boko Haram has in recent months been under sustained pressure from sweeping offensives from a four-nation regional alliance of Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon. The regional offensives have considerably weakened Boko Haram's capabilities, which has prompted the Islamists to resort to attacks on soft targets such as bus stations, markets and schools. The explosion was the first attack since Nigeria held its presidential election at the weekend, which was won by opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari, who vowed to crush Boko Haram when he assumes office in late May.", "summary": "Woman leaves explosives-laden handbag beside bus during boarding .

And fighting has killed hundreds of people in less than two weeks. The Saudi-led coalition smashed parts of Yemen's Defense Ministry Central Command in the capital over the weekend, senior Yemeni officials said. Under the rain of coalition bombs, the Houthis, who are Shiites in a majority Sunni country, still control Sanaa. But the airstrikes have hurt them and destroyed a lot of infrastructure. The electricity has gone out on 16 million Yemenis living in Houthi-held areas, the Yemeni officials said. Many fear they will lose access to clean water as well. Yemen's deposed President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi heaped scorn on top of the airstrikes. He fired his former Army chief of staff, Hussein Khairan, on Sunday. The firing had no practical effect, since Khairan had switched sides weeks ago and is the Houthi rebels' acting defense minister. Hadi is holed up in Saudi Arabia, which is working to defeat his enemies and reinstall him. Fighting has ended dozens of lives each day. On Monday, more than 50 people died in the port city of Aden alone, where Houthis and their allies are battling troops loyal to Hadi on the ground, Agence France-Press reported. Since the bombing campaign and intense fighting began just over a week ago, some 600 people are estimated to have been killed. Many more have been wounded, and tens of thousands have fled the country. The International Committee of the Red Cross has cried out for a humanitarian ceasefire to let aid in. \"Otherwise, put starkly, many more people will die. For the wounded, their chances of survival depend on action within hours, not days,\" said Robert Mardini, the ICRC's head of operations in the Near and Middle East. \"Medical supplies need to be here yesterday,\" said ICRC spokeswoman Marie-Claire Feghali from Sanaa. \"We need to save the lives that can be saved.\" Saudi Arabia signed off on letting the ICRC into Yemen via two aircraft -- one with medical supplies, the other with workers. But flying in will be hard, since most airlines have canceled their flights, and airstrikes have taken out many airfields. On Monday, the flight loaded with 48 tons of medical supplies was grounded in Djibouti, Feghali said. The ICRC is hoping to fly out in a day or two. Following the ICRC's call, on Saturday the U.N. Security Council discussed the humanitarian situation at Russia's behest. Moscow submitted a draft resolution calling for a halt to the airstrikes by the nine-country regional coalition.

Vega, a strapping man with a thick black beard, is feeling good, but he came to see the doctor today because his wife thought he should -- she even made the appointment. It is free to him under his insurance policy with no co-pay, as most preventive care is under the Affordable Care Act. Vega is one of more than 44 million Americans who is taking part in a medical ritual: visiting the doctor for an annual physical exam. But there's little evidence that those visits actually do any good for healthy adults. Caruso listens to Vega's heart and lungs, checks his pulse in his ankles and feels around his lymph nodes. He also asks Vega about his exercise and sleeping schedule and orders blood and urine tests. As long as everything checks out, Caruso asks Vega to return for another exam in a year. Vega says he definitely will. It was a positive experience for both doctor and patient, and they're not alone; 92 percent of Americans say it is important to get an annual head-to-toe physical exam, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll (KHN is an editorially independent program of the foundation). And 62 percent of those polled said they went to the doctor every year for their exam. But the evidence is not on their side. \"I would argue that we should move forward with the elimination of the annual physical,\" says Dr. Ateev Mehrotra, a primary care physician and a professor of health policy at Harvard Medical School. Mehrotra says patients should really only go to the doctor if something is wrong, or if it's time to have an important preventive test like a colonoscopy. He realizes popular opinion is against this view. \"When I, as a doctor, say I do not advocate for the annual physical, I feel like I'm attacking moms and apple pie,\" Mehrotra says. \"It seems so intuitive and straightforward, and [it's] something that's been part of medicine for such a long time.\" But he says randomized trials going back to the 1980s just don't support it. The Society for General Internal Medicine even put annual physicals on a list of things doctors should avoid for healthy adults. One problem, Mehrotra says, is the cost. Each visit usually costs insurers just $150, but that adds up fast. \"We estimate that it's about $10 billion a year, which is more than how much we spend as a society on breast cancer care,\" Mehrotra says. \"It's all a lot of money.\" And then there's the risk that a doctor will run a test and find a problem that's not actually there. It's called a false positive, and it can lead to a cascade of follow-up tests that can be expensive and could even cause real harm.

But whether you were sitting in Sydney or in South London, there were plenty of \"marvelous\" Richie moments from the box to savor: . \"And Glenn McGrath dismissed for two, just ninety-eight runs short of his century.\" \"From our broadcasting box you can't see any grass at all. It is simply a carpet of humanity.\" \"Captaincy is 90% luck and 10% skill. But don't try it without that 10%.\" News of his passing quickly generated a wave of condolences, including from Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. \"To most Australians Richie Benaud was cricket. He personified its traditions and its values,\" Abbott said in a written statement Friday. \"While many Australians only know Richard Benaud as the voice of cricket, we should not forget that in his day he was a cricketer with few equals. It was why he was so insightful as a commentator. \"As a player his record has withstood the test of time. He led the Australian side from 1958/59 through to 1963/1964, never losing a series in his 28 Tests as captain. \"As captain, he was first to lead a full Australian tour to India and Pakistan in 1959/60. He was the first cricketer to reach a Test double of 2,000 runs and 200 wickets. \"Given the special place Richie Benaud has in our national life, I have asked that on the day of his funeral flags fly at half-mast. I extend my condolences and the condolences of the Australian people, to his wife Daphne and his family and friends. Current Australian captain Michael Clarke posted an image of Benaud on Instagram with the message: \"What a man. Extremely sad day. You were a lot more then just a cricketer Richie. RIP.\" Clarke's former teammate Shane Warne also took to Instagram to post a touching letter to the late commentator. He wrote: \"Dear Richie, I've known you & Daphne for close to 30 years & to everyone you were a legend on all levels & rightly so too. \"As a cricketer, commentator & as a person, you were the best there's ever been & to top it off, an absolute gentleman...

If you live in the UK, there's a small chance that note has found its way into the hands of 23-year-old Daisy Bentley. For the past six years, the London-based artist has scoured the streets of cities and towns looking for those odd bits of paper that flutter to the ground when their owners aren't looking. Her quest has uncovered a fascinating, if idiosyncratic, collection of shopping lists, reminders, requests, love notes and motivational musings, all poignant pieces of others' lives. And now a gallery in London has put a selection on display for the public. \"I wasn't intending to start a collection,\" she told CNN. \"I always naturally collected things -- as many artists do -- and it got to the point that I was picking up every one I saw. Now I can barely walk down a street without picking up a scrap of paper.\" Bentley began collecting them six years ago after a note caught her eye one rainy night on a walk in her home town of Norwich, England. It's something she confesses has been a lifelong love -- keepsakes ranging from her mother's cutlery to her own dead goldfish have ended up carefully preserved in her collection for posterity. The notes project, she says, is a culmination of keeping her eyes on the sidewalk and spotting the little things that most people wouldn't notice as they walked down the street. \"I get very odd looks from strangers,\" she admits, \"but since I've made friends and families aware of the project, they get very excited when I find one while out with them.\" And while some dismiss such behavior as hoarding, Bentley feels it is part of human nature to hold on to items, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem. \"Humans want to collect and show to others,\" she says. \"They want to share and learn from the things they have found.\" She says her collecting has led to interesting anthropological insights into the human condition. One of her favorite observations is the evolution of handwriting over the past few decades, from the beautiful copperplate penmanship of the '70s to modern teen girl love notes with hearts dotting i's and multiple exclamation marks. More recently, the note collection has led to an exhibition at Stour Space gallery in London's Hackney Wick, where Bentley works as a shop and studio manager. It showcases a small part of her 1,500-strong collection. The decision to display the notes came in part from a desire to put them back into the public space. \"I always wanted to showcase them, to see what people's reactions were and if anyone would come forward,\" she said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Supported by American intelligence and supplied with advanced U.S.-made weaponry, Saudi jets began airstrikes in Yemen late last month in the name of what the kingdom's Washington ambassador described as \"restoring the legitimate government\" and protecting a \"Yemeni constitution and elections.\" The need to protect constitutions and elections is a rather strange message from the representative of an absolute monarchy. Indeed, Saudi motives in Yemen likely have nothing to do with protecting the country's \"legitimate government,\" its constitution or its electoral process. So what is really going on? The kingdom's real motives seem clear if one looks at Saudi monarchy's history of not allowing regional competition of any kind, while consistently combating efforts to build democratic governments that empower the people. This approach was evident in 2013, when Saudi Arabia voiced its support for the military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Mohamed Morsy in Egypt, which was in keeping with counterrevolutionary Saudi policies that aimed to contain or reverse the results of the Arab Spring. The Saudi goal is simple: Prevent the rise of any popularly supported government in the region that seeks self-determination. And the excuse of \"resisting Iran's influence,\" meanwhile, appears to be nothing but sectarian bluster. For example, in 2009, the Houthis (more accurately described as the Ansarullah) were not yet receiving help from Iran, yet for weeks the kingdom pummeled them with airstrikes, following Saudi claims of a Houthi incursion. True, the Ansarullah movement now benefits from Iranian support. But it is far from the only group getting help from outside sources in the region. With all this in mind, the American decision to stand behind the Saudi attack on Yemen can best be described as misguided. Although the Houthi movement's rhetoric is unquestionably anti-American, it has not targeted any American interests. In fact, when the U.S. Embassy packed up in Sanaa in January, leaving a fleet of over 20 armored SUVs behind at the airport, the Houthis reportedly said they would round up the cars and deliver them to a U.N. representative in Yemen. And while the Houthis did not welcome the American presence in Yemen, they did not interfere with U.S. operations against al Qaeda in the country. But one of the biggest miscalculations has been that U.S. policy has adopted the Saudi-Gulf narrative on Yemen, effectively placing Saudi ambitions to control Yemen above previous American priorities like destroying the safe haven for al Qaeda there. Indeed, the Obama administration appears to have abandoned Yemen to Saudi machinations. This reality was underscored when U.S State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki effectively endorsed Saudi bombing, saying the \"Saudis have legitimate concerns about the possible impact of current events in Yemen on their security.\" The implication here seems to be that any country \"concerned\" about its neighbors can go ahead and bomb them, a view that risks creating a dangerous precedent. Back in September, White House spokesman Josh Earnest described Yemen as a success story in the war on terrorism, explaining that the U.S. priority in Yemen was not to establish a \"Jeffersonian democracy\" but to", "summary": "Saudi Arabia has launched airstrikes against rebels in Yemen .

For the next hour and 45 minutes, that shadow will move across the moon and engulf it at 4:58 a.m. Pacific Time.

As the moon moves deeper into that shadow, it appears to turn dark and may even appear to be a reddish color. Why red? Because Earth's atmosphere is filtering out most of the blue light. Some people have nicknamed the effect the \"blood moon.\" NASA says lunar eclipses typically happen at least twice a year, but this eclipse is the third in a series of four in a row, known as a \"tetrad.\" The first was on April 15, 2014.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) deployed the remote-controlled robot on Friday inside one of the damaged reactors that had suffered a meltdown following a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011. It was the first time the probe had been used.

+{"article": "(CNN)A federal grand jury has charged millionaire real estate heir Robert Durst, a convicted felon, with unlawful possession of a firearm. In this week's indictment, Durst, 71, is accused of possessing a .38 caliber revolver, which authorities allegedly found in his hotel room last month. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison if found guilty of that charge, according to the indictment. The charge is the latest in a litany of accusations. A Louisiana judge ruled last month that Durst, who is charged with first-degree murder, will be held without bail at a facility near New Orleans. Durst was featured this spring in \"The Jinx,\" a HBO documentary about him. He's accused of killing his friend Susan Berman at her home in California in 2000. He also faces state weapons and drugs charges in New Orleans. Last month, court documents claimed that Durst had a loaded .38-caliber revolver, marijuana, his passport and birth certificate, a latex mask with salt-and-pepper hair attached and more than $40,000 cash. He also had a UPS tracking number. The package was intercepted by the FBI, prosecutors said, and it contained clothing and more than $100,000 in cash. But the bigger courtroom fight will probably unfold in Los Angeles, where the district attorney filed a first-degree murder charge against Durst last month. He awaits extradition to Los Angeles to face that charge. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. Prosecutors accuse Durst of \"lying in wait\" and killing Berman, a crime writer and his longtime confidante, because she \"was a witness to a crime.\" Berman was shot in the head in her Beverly Hills home in December 2000, shortly before investigators were set to speak with her about the 1982 disappearance of Durst's first wife, Kathleen McCormack Durst. Durst has long maintained that he had nothing to do with Berman's death or his wife's disappearance. It's not the first time he has been accused of murder. He admitted killing and dismembering his neighbor at a 2003 trial, but he was acquitted after arguing that he acted in self-defense. FBI agents have also asked local authorities to examine cold cases in locations near where Durst lived over the past five decades, a U.S. law enforcement official said. Unsolved cases in Vermont, upstate New York, the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California are among those getting a new look, the official said. Durst's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said it's a sign that authorities are desperate. DeGuerin has said Durst has serious medical conditions. He is suffering from hydrocephalus, which required brain surgery a couple of years ago, DeGuerin said. Doctors implanted a stent on the right side of his head, the attorney said. \"At the same time he was in the hospital, he had an operation on his esophagus to remove cancer. So he's got some serious health issues. ... He's lost a lot of weight. He's not in good health,\" DeGuerin said. DeGuerin also said that Durst is \"mildly autistic\" and has received treatment in the past from one of the country's leading experts in Asperger's", "summary": "Durst, a convicted felon, charged with unlawful possession of a firearm .

Charleston Mayor Joseph Riley comes by to pay his respects and show support for the Scott family. They are not at Friday night's visitation, the mayor says. The stress of the past week since Scott was fatally shot in the back by a North Charleston police Officer Michael Slager is too much.

On Friday afternoon, police met with a man who was in Scott's car when Slager pulled it over for a broken taillight. The passenger's name wasn't in a police report obtained by CNN. The passenger was detained briefly after the shooting, one officer wrote in the report. Scott family attorney Chris Stewart said the man with Scott was a co-worker and friend. But he did not identify the friend by name, nor did Thom Berry, a South Carolina Law Enforcement Division spokesman, who confirmed Friday's meeting.

That's a pretty healthy profit for the collector who bought the outfit decades ago for a mere $20 as it was on the verge of being tossed out. The outfit, a gray two-piece ensemble, was sold at an auction in Beverly Hills, California, on Saturday, according to Heritage Auctions. It was the most sought after item among roughly 150 pieces of \"Gone With the Wind\" memorabilia on sale in the auction. They come from the huge collection amassed by James Tumblin, who used to work at Universal Studios. Tumblin said he came across the Scarlett O'Hara dress in the early 1960s while doing some research at a costume company. \"I saw this dress on the floor and a docent told me not to bother to pick it up, because they were throwing it away,\" he said, according to The Telegraph. \"I asked if he would sell it to me,\" he said. \"I had noticed there was a printed label saying Selznick International Pictures and 'Scarlett production dress' was written in ink.\" From that savvy purchase, his \"Gone With the Wind\" collection snowballed. Other standout items include a straw hat worn by Leigh in a number of scenes in the movie and a gray wool suit worn by Clark Gable as his character, Rhett Butler, kicks down the door of Scarlett O'Hara's boudoir. The dress -- a jacket and full skirt ensemble -- was worn in several key scenes in the 1939 movie, including when Scarlett O'Hara encounters Butler and when she gets attacked in the shanty town. The outfit has suffered a little with age, however. When Leigh wore it in the movie, it was slate blue-gray. Over the years, it's faded to light gray.

But Walker's death in November 2013 at the age of 40 after a car crash was especially eerie given his rise to fame in the \"Fast and Furious\" film franchise. The release of \"Furious 7\" on Friday offers the opportunity for fans to remember -- and possibly grieve again -- the man that so many have praised as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. \"He was a person of humility, integrity, and compassion,\" military veteran Kyle Upham said in an email to CNN. Walker secretly paid for the engagement ring Upham shopped for with his bride. \"We didn't know him personally but this was apparent in the short time we spent with him.

Instead, the script was rewritten and special effects were used to finish scenes, with Walker's brothers, Cody and Caleb, serving as body doubles. There are scenes that will resonate with the audience -- including the ending, in which the filmmakers figured out a touching way to pay tribute to Walker while \"retiring\" his character.

Outside the mall, a giant Egyptian sphinx and a replica of the Arc de Triomphe were erected alongside fountains and canals complete with Venetian gondolas. It even boasted an indoor roller coaster. But despite the grand plans neither stores nor shoppers came. Soon, it was classified by industry analysts as a \"dead mall\" and it became an unflattering symbol of China's runaway speculation on real estate projects.

Large parts of the previously abandoned buildings are now full of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. Visitors could be seen browsing for luxury sunglasses and designer jeans, dining at the Korean, Italian or Chinese restaurants or enjoying the new entertainment facilities.

Police Commissioner Anthony Batts has said, \"We know our police employees failed to get him medical attention in a timely manner multiple times.\" The police and the U.S. Justice Department are investigating. The case raises at least three legal issues: . Believe it or not, the charging document in this case gives us more information than the now-viral video of the arrest.In that narrative, police state \"Defendant fled unprovoked upon noticing police presence.\" According to the officers' words, that's the sole reason a stop was initiated. There is no other description of either criminal activity or safety concerns. The next sentence is important too: \"The defendant was apprehended in [a specific location] after a brief foot chase.\" The police are locked in: it appears that by their own narrative that the unprovoked flight was the only reason for the stop, because the very next thing that happens...is the stop. Can the police stop you if all you do is run from them when you see them? For the most part, yes. But having grounds to stop is not the same as having probable cause to make an arrest. In this case, Mr. Gray took off running. The United States Supreme Court and Maryland courts have made clear that unprovoked flight -- running away from the police for no reason -- is enough to support reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. When you add to the suspect's flight the Supreme Court's recognition that the character of the neighborhood is also a factor in assessing reasonable suspicion, it appears that the police in this case had at least enough to justify the stop, constitutionally. Much to the chagrin of public defenders and defense attorneys, as long as an officer testifies minimally to an individual (1) running away, (2) in a \"high crime\" area, the stop will usually be \"good.\" But police are supposed to articulate the additional safety concern to get to the frisk. Police must also have reasonable suspicion that the suspect may be \"armed and presently dangerous\" to additionally conduct a carefully limited search of the outer clothing for the sole purpose of discovering weapons. The charging document doesn't really identify a safety concern ... or does it? After the chase, and before an arrest: \"This officer noticed a knife clipped to the inside of his front right pants pocket.\" Shouldn't that really say: \"I saw a clip but whatever it was clipped to was inside a pocket ... where I couldn't see it\"?

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban advised Twitterers to have their blood tested for everything available -- and to do so every three months. Following her mother's cancer diagnosis, singer Taylor Swift urged her fans to remind their parents to get screening tests. And Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed legislation to allow Arizonans to get any lab test without a doctor's order. Freedom of information -- always sounds like a good thing. But there are many lab tests to order on yourself: Medicare's Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Fee Schedule lists over a thousand. They are not all blood tests, but a lot of them are. And since blood tests require blood, you would surely develop at least one medical problem if you actually followed Mr. Cuban's advice to get them all: anemia. A frothy private sector is gearing up to serve the \"test me\" market. In those states that allow it -- and over half do -- laboratories are offering walk-in and online services to individuals who want to check their own lab values. (And if you want to get in on the ground floor of this business, check out the franchise opportunities at Any Labtest Now, Fastest Labs, and All Labtests Fast.) Some might argue that this freedom to test is the path to a healthier society. But the primary effect won't be more health, but rather more medical care. Fundamentally well people will appear in doctors' offices with \"abnormal\" results. Abnormalities are common in normal people, as we learned when Whole-body CT scanning was in vogue a decade ago (thankfully, only briefly). So doctors will increasingly face one of two options: take the time to reassure these new patients that their results aren't really that abnormal or chase down abnormal results with more testing. Further testing will often make clear that the initial results were false alarms. Or it will confirm the presence of abnormality -- most of which will be minor abnormalities. Often it won't be clear what to do, but doctors will be pressed to do something. That's when the real problems begin. Will anybody be helped? Maybe. Will anybody be hurt? Definitely. The disturbing truth is that it is hard for us to make well people feel better. But it's not that hard for us to make them feel worse. Decades of research have shown that there are real side-effects to testing the well: more anxiety (that can't be good for your health), more procedures (which often involve needles, pain and can even lead to complications like collapsed lungs) and more treatment for \"disease\" not destined to cause problems (as in over a million additional American men treated for prostate cancer, ditto women for breast cancer).

+{"article": "(CNN)Warren Weinstein, who appears to have been the only American citizen held hostage by al Qaeda, was accidentally killed in a U.S. drone strike in January. But it didn't have to be that way. A senior U.S. official familiar with the handling of the issue told CNN that the U.S. government made no serious effort to negotiate for the 73-year-old development expert's release, either directly to al Qaeda or through proxies in Pakistan. Another senior U.S. official told CNN that Weinstein's capture by al Qaeda made it hard for the United States to negotiate, even though proxies such as the Pakistani government have links to intermediaries who might have helped. A senior Pakistani official told CNN that after Weinstein was kidnapped, the Pakistani government put out feelers to members of the militant Haqqani Network and to the Pakistani Taliban, which are both allied to al Qaeda, to see if these groups might be able to initiate some kind of negotiation about Weinstein. According to the official, nothing came of those feelers. The senior Pakistani official says that during the past year Pakistani soldiers, who were part of a military offensive in the tribal area of North Waziristan near the Afghan-Pakistan border where Weinstein was believed to be being held, went door-to-door looking for the American. Nothing came of this search either. On Thursday, the U.S. government announced that Weinstein had been killed in a \"counterterrorism operation\" in January, which is how the government often describes CIA drone strikes. According to New America, which tracks drone strikes in Pakistan, CIA drone attacks happened in Shawal, North Waziristan, on January 19 in which at least four militants were killed; also on January 15 in Tehsil Ladha, South Waziristan, in which at least five militants were killed; and on January 4 in Datta Khel, South Waziristan, in which at least eight militants were killed. It is in one of these strikes that Weinstein was almost certainly killed. Lt. Col. Jason Amerine, a planner on the U.S. Army staff, is under investigation over a purported unauthorized disclosure to U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter's office, which has demonstrated a strong interest in the fate of American hostages held by al Qaeda and the Taliban. A plan was developed in the Pentagon to secure the release of Weinstein, according to a staff member on Hunter's committee. That plan was to release Haji Bashir Noorzai, a prominent and influential member of the Taliban who is in prison in the States on drug trafficking charges, in exchange for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Berghdal, who was held by the Taliban until last year; Taliban hostages Caitlin Coleman, a U.S. citizen, and her husband, Canadian Joshua Boyle; and Dr. Shakil Afridi, who spied for the CIA in Pakistan and was being held in a Pakistani prison, as well as Weinstein. It's not clear how far this plan of action went. Amerine is invoking whistleblower protection and denies making an unauthorized disclosure.

It's hard to imagine the store's founders in the late 1600's could have imagined this kind of employee. That's because the greeter is not a human -- it's a robot. Aiko Chihira is an android manufactured by Toshiba, designed to look and move like a real person. It was put on temporary display at the department store. Toshiba says Chihira has 43 motors allowing it to move, speak in sign language and even sing.

Those hopes were dashed when one report by local media mushroomed into a tornado of nationwide coverage. The story went viral.

+{"article": "(CNN)As a boat packed with hundreds of migrants capsized in Mediterranean waters, many were trapped inside behind locked doors. That's the account one survivor of the deadly shipwreck gave to investigators, according to a statement released Sunday by prosecutors in Catania, Italy. The Bangladeshi migrant's description provides new details about what may have happened aboard the ship, which sent out a distress call in the dark of night Saturday after a couple of days at sea. As rescuers approached, authorities say migrants on the boat moved to one side, hoping to be saved. Their movement caused the large, multilevel boat to capsize about 110 kilometers (almost 70 miles) north of Libya, sending the desperate crowd plunging into the sea, their chance of survival slim. The migrant, who spoke to investigators after being airlifted to a hospital in Catania, is among dozens who authorities say were saved from the sinking vessel. He told investigators there were 950 people on board -- a number prosecutors haven't verified. Maltese authorities, who are working with Italian rescuers, earlier said around 50 of 700 people on the boat had been saved. Many on lower levels of the boat were trapped inside because smugglers had locked the doors, the migrant said, according to prosecutors. The Italian Coast Guard is collecting statements from other survivors, prosecutors said. It was the latest in a series of dangerous voyages for hundreds of men, women and children who boarded the boat in Libya, hoping to make it safely to Europe. Passengers on the boat were from a number of nations, including Algeria, Egypt, Somalia, Niger, Senegal, Mali, Zambia, Bangladesh and Ghana, prosecutors said. While the shipwreck was an accident, Malta's Prime Minister slammed the human traffickers who he accused of risking people's lives by putting them on rickety ships in unpredictable waters. \"Gangs of criminals are putting people on a boat, sometimes even at gunpoint,\" Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said. \"They're putting them on the road to death, really, and nothing else.\" It's \"genocide -- nothing less than genocide, really,\" Muscat told CNN. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said that the incident could be worse than an incident last week in which 400 refugees and migrants died in the Mediterranean. \"Our troops, together with the Italian navy, are literally looking through the bodies to try to find someone who's still alive,\" Muscat said of the latest incident at sea. Flavio Di Giacomo, spokesman for the International Organization for Migration, told CNN that survivors were taken to Sicily. The Italian Coast Guard, which is leading the rescue operation, reported that at least 24 bodies had been recovered so far at the shipwreck site. Security for Libya's borders is essential to \"take out these criminal gangs -- these terrorists,\" Muscat said. The international community \"cannot continue to turn a blind eye,\" he added.

It all started with a birthday party that little Damani Terry was attending. During the family gathering, he dashed out into the street and was struck and killed by a GMC van, according to Milwaukee police. The distraught driver, Archie Brown Jr., 40, immediately stopped and got out to tend to the boy. But it was too late, police said. Damani was dead. Damani's alarmed family came running, including his older brother, 15-year-old Rasheed Chiles, police said. That was not the end of the situation. Soon, two more people would also die: the driver and the teen were both felled by bullets fired by the same man, police said. That man, identified as Ricky Ricardo Chiles III, was located late Wednesday at a Chicago-area hotel. He committed suicide as authorities closed in with a warrant for his arrest, Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn told reporters. \"Chicago police and United States Marshals Service entered the hotel room, whereupon Mr. Chiles took his own life with his firearm,\" the police chief said Thursday.

+{"article": "(CNN)Indiana's controversial religious freedom law has been in hot water lately. After a firestorm of backlash and protests, Gov. Mike Pence said on Tuesday that the state will \"fix\" the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA, so it will not discriminate against gays and lesbians. Pence is making the right call. Promoting the false dichotomy between protecting religion versus protecting equality serves no one. Not all people who dislike the law hate religion, and not all people who like the law want to discriminate against the LGBT community. If people of good will come together, liberty and equality can both be saved. The unbelievably easy way to fix Indiana's RFRA is to add one small amendment, one easy line codifying that discrimination against the LGBT community is harmful, and that there is a compelling governmental interest in eliminating that harm. In general, it is a good thing for society to shape its laws in ways that allow people to live their lives consistent with their sincerely held religious obligations. As Americans, we value and always have valued the freedom and expression of religion. Sometimes, a law seems to impose only modest burdens on the people it affects, but in practice it actually severely burdens the religious practices of a few. In those situations, if there is no compelling governmental interest in enforcing that law in that particularly burdensome way -- and if no one else is harmed -- then religion should be granted an exemption. Shifting the burden to the government to prove that it really does need to apply this law in this particular way will not allow every person to become a law unto themselves; it simply sends the message that religion is important, and unless there are specific and compelling reasons why, people should be allowed to practice as they need. These are the reasons why the federal RFRA was passed in 1993, and why it had bipartisan support. These are wholesome American values that everyone can get behind. The problem is that we no longer live in 1993, 10 years before Lawrence v. Texas, and 20 before U.S. v. Windsor. In 1993, our sensibilities were different; there was not yet a national conversation about the need to protect the rights and dignity of members of the LGBT community. Timing matters because society changes, and now that our horizons have been broadened we cannot just keep insisting that the law was never intended to discriminate and worked just fine 22 years ago, before we realized its negative potential. Even if not a single lawmaker consciously intends the bill to be used as a shield for discrimination, we still have to take seriously Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' claim about unintended consequences. To put it simply, you have to be concerned with what the law allows a person to get away with. The concern is real. Because Indiana does not have a law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, the bill as drafted might allow people who were so inclined to discriminate, and simply assert that they could do", "summary": "Gov.

He added they are currently designating a new leader, after the supposed head of ISIS in Afghanistan, Abdul Rauf Khadim, was reportedly killed in a drone strike earlier in the year.

His photo's appearance on milk cartons after his May 1979 disappearance marked an era of heightened awareness of crimes against children. On Friday, more than 35 years after frenzied media coverage of his case horrified parents everywhere, a New York jury will again deliberate over a possible verdict against the man charged in his killing, Pedro Hernandez. He confessed to police three years ago. Etan Patz's parents have waited that long for justice, but some have questioned whether that is at all possible in Hernandez's case. His lawyer has said that he is mentally challenged, severely mentally ill and unable to discern whether he committed the crime or not. Hernandez told police in a taped statement that he lured Patz into a basement as the boy was on his way to a bus stop in Lower Manhattan. He said he killed the boy and threw his body away in a plastic bag. Neither the child nor his remains have ever been recovered. But Hernandez has been repeatedly diagnosed with schizophrenia and has an \"IQ in the borderline-to-mild mental retardation range,\" his attorney Harvey Fishbein has said. Police interrogated Hernandez for 7\u00bd hours before he confessed. \"I think anyone who sees these confessions will understand that when the police were finished, Mr. Hernandez believed he had killed Etan Patz. But that doesn't mean he actually did, and that's the whole point of this case,\" Fishbein has said. But in November, a New York judge ruled that Hernandez's confession and his waiving of his Miranda rights were legal, making the confession admissible in court. Another man's name has also hung over the Patz case for years -- Jose Antonio Ramos, a convicted child molester acquainted with Etan's babysitter. Etan's parents, Stan and Julia Patz, sued Ramos in 2001. The boy was officially declared dead as part of that lawsuit. A judge found Ramos responsible for the boy's death and ordered him to pay the family $2 million -- money the Patz family has never received. Though Ramos was at the center of investigations for years, he has never been charged. He served a 20-year prison sentence in Pennsylvania for molesting another boy and was set to be released in 2012. He was reportedly immediately rearrested upon exiting jail in 2012 on failure to register as a sex offender. Since their young son's disappearance, the Patzes have worked to keep the case alive and to create awareness of missing children in the United States.

Lynch will need to put down the carrots, pick up the stick and make clear that the Justice Department intends to crack down on police abuse by using one of its most potent weapons: the power to withhold federal funds from local departments. More about that in a moment. The first order of business will be to re-establish order in Baltimore, where the National Guard has been mobilized and a state of emergency declared. \"In the days ahead, I intend to work with leaders throughout Baltimore to ensure that we can protect the security and civil rights of all residents,\" Lynch said within hours of being sworn in on Monday. \"And I will bring the full resources of the Department of Justice to bear in protecting those under threat, investigating wrongdoing and securing an end to violence.\" A key part of that vow -- \"investigating wrongdoing\" -- must include a close look at the Baltimore Police Department, which has been the subject of bitter complaints of brutality. According to a major investigation by The Baltimore Sun published last fall, the city has paid out $5.7 million in court judgments or settlements to more than 100 people since 2011 in connection with allegations of brutality and/or violations of civil rights. \"Officers have battered dozens of residents who suffered broken bones -- jaws, noses, arms, legs, ankles -- head trauma, organ failure, and even death, coming during questionable arrests. Some residents were beaten while handcuffed; others were thrown to the pavement,\" the Sun expose says. \"And in almost every case, prosecutors or judges dismissed the charges against the victims -- if charges were filed at all.\" That kind of behavior helped set the stage for the riots and looting we now see. Lynch has already launched a probe of the death of Freddie Gray, and the Justice Department is also investigating the recent videotaped police killing of Walter Scott in North Charleston, South Carolina, where an officer has been arrested and charged with murder. As attorney general, Lynch has several tools with which to guide local law enforcement toward better behavior. A Justice Department program called Community Oriented Policing Services, launched in 2011, helps local departments implement best practices. The COPS program's effectiveness will surely come under question, since Baltimore was one of the eight departments participating in the", "summary": "Errol Louis: New AG Loretta Lynch will try to get cops to improve community relations, end abusive practices .

The spacecraft that lost contact with flight controllers will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in about a week, Roscosmos, the Russian Federal Space Agency, said Wednesday. \"Roscosmos (the Russian Federal Space Agency) announced that the Progress will not be docking and will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere,\" Kelly said from the space station. The Progress resupply vehicle will come off its orbit and will begin its combustion in the atmosphere between May 5 and May 7, according to Roscosmos. The Progress vehicle does not present any danger to the International Space Station due to a significant difference in orbit, Roscosmos added. The Russia space agency said it is working on its next supply flight to the ISS and expects to launch a new Progress ship in the third quarter of this year. Russia lost contact with ISS Progress 59 during a resupply mission to the International Space Station. The ship is now spinning out of control, NASA said. Even if Russia hadn't lost contact with the craft, the original plan was for Progress to burn up re-entering Earth's atmosphere -- albeit with garbage rather than a full load of equipment for the space station. According to NASA information on the Progress resupply vehicle, \"After the cargo is removed and before the Progress undocks, the crew refills it with trash, unneeded equipment and wastewater, which will burn up with the spacecraft when it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere.\" The cargo spacecraft launched successfully early Tuesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. But after it separated from the Soyuz booster rocket's third stage, Russian flight controllers were unable to confirm the health of all the spacecraft's systems, including the deployment of navigational antennae, NASA said. \"The spacecraft made another pass over Russian ground stations and continued to experience telemetry problems regarding the deployment of navigational antennas and the pressurization of the manifolds in the propulsion system,\" the American space agency said in an update. A planned rendezvous with the ISS six hours later was initially postponed to Thursday but has now been canceled, NASA said in its latest update. \"Docking has been called off for the Progress 59 spacecraft,\" it said. \"Russian flight controllers are continuing to assess the vehicle and what the plan going forward will be. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.\" Few details have been forthcoming so far from Roscosmos. According to NASA, the cargo ship is carrying more than 3 tons of food, fuel, oxygen, spare parts and scientific experiment hardware for the space station. But the hitch will not put the six ISS crew members at risk, NASA said. \"The spacecraft was not carrying any supplies critical for the United States Operating Segment (USOS) of the station,\" a statement said. \"Both the Russian and USOS segments of the station continue to operate normally and are adequately supplied well beyond the next planned resupply flight.\" That next flight, which will be", "summary": "Progress 59 spacecraft will re-enter Earth's atmosphere in a week, Russia space agency says .

+{"article": "(CNN)Robert Bates says he gets it, how you might wonder how a cop could confuse a pistol for a stun gun. Bates -- the Tulsa County, Oklahoma, reserve sheriff's deputy accused of manslaughter in the death of a fleeing suspect -- told NBC's \"Today\" show Friday that he used to think that, too. \"Believe me,\" he told the show in his first appearance since being charged in the April 2 death of Eric Harris, \"it can happen to anyone.\" Harris died after Bates shot him -- accidentally, he says -- after calling out \"Taser! Taser!\" in a tussle captured on a police body camera. Bates told investigators that he mistook his firearm for the stun gun. How easy is it to confuse a gun for a Taser? While Bates is at the center of the maelstrom over Harris' death, he isn't the only one under scrutiny. The Oklahoma NAACP wants charges against other officers involved in Harris' death, and a state and federal investigation into the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office's treatment of minorities. The sheriff's office also finds itself fending off allegations that supervisors were told to forge Bates' training records. In his interview Friday with \"Today,\" Bates said he had the documentation to show he had completed the necessary training required of reserve deputies. \"That is absolutely the truth. I have it in writing,\" he told the show. And on Thursday, a sheriff's office official denied to the Tulsa World newspaper that any records had ever been forged. As an advanced reserve deputy, sheriff's office policy calls for Bates to have completed 480 hours of the field training officer program, according to the Tulsa World. Bates would also have needed firearms certification training. Officials have yet to locate records showing what training Bates completed, said Maj. Shannon Clark of the sheriff's office. But Clark did say it's possible that some training requirements may have been waived. Sheriff Stanley Glanz has the authority to waive any department policies, Clark said. \"The policies within our organization are signed off by the sheriff, but there are also policies that give the sheriff the ability to waive any policy within our organization. That's part of being a sheriff's office,\" Clark told the newspaper. Glanz told KFAQ radio this week that officials can't find records of Bates' firearms certification. The instructor who provided that training is now a U.S. Secret Service agent, and officials haven't been able to locate training records she was supposed to have turned in, Glanz told the station. Other discrepancies have surfaced about training that Bates claims to have attended, including questions about active shooter and homicide investigation instruction. Tulsa World reporter Dylan Goforth said the paper had been told by multiple sources that Bates' records had been falsified. The newspaper has not said who allegedly asked the supervisors to falsify the training records or why.

+{"article": "(CNN)A jury of Rolling Stone's media peers has dissected the magazine's disastrous, discredited story about rape on the campus of the University of Virginia, and the emerging consensus is that Rolling Stone's lapses and sloppy blunders amount to journalistic malpractice -- made all the worse by the magazine's head-in-the sand reaction to the thorough, devastating report released by a panel of investigators from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Rolling Stone's egregious mistakes of reporting and editing are regrettable but understandable. The magazine's decision not to fire anybody or reorganize its newsroom operation is not. Before the original story, \"A Rape on Campus,\" was pulled from the Rolling Stone website, it registered 2.7 million hits following its publication in November -- more than any noncelebrity story in the magazine's history. An anonymous undergraduate, given the name \"Jackie,\" told Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely she had been invited to a party thrown by Phi Kappa Psi fraternity in 2012 -- only to end up beaten and gang-raped by seven boys, who were allegedly coached along in the attack by the same student, a casual acquaintance, who had invited Jackie to the party. The horrific allegations sparked protests against the fraternity, a police investigation, the temporary suspension of all fraternities at the school and a nationwide debate about the prevalence of sexual violence on college campuses. But the story began to unravel almost immediately when Washington Post reporter T. Rees Shapiro took a closer look, leading Rolling Stone to back away from the story and request a review by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. That review, which is considerably longer than the original article, reveals startling lapses in basic journalistic practice. Rolling Stone writer Erdely never verified the identity of the attacker and therefore never confronted him with the allegations; she never spoke to three of Jackie's friends who allegedly talked with Jackie immediately after the attack, and she never gave the fraternity a fair chance to respond, refusing to provide specific information about what happened and when. And at every step of the way, when Jackie began acting flaky -- refusing to provide basic information needed to verify her story or vanishing for weeks at a time without returning calls from the reporter -- neither Erdely nor her editors or the magazine's fact checkers made the hard but necessary decision to hit the pause button and decline to run the story. Having worked part time as a journalism professor for a decade (including one semester at Columbia), I would agree with colleagues who call Rolling Stone's lapses the kind that would be unacceptable in a freshman classroom. I've told students for years: You should never print allegations without giving people a fair chance to respond. And you should never take a source's word about important facts without verifying the truth. (There's a reason we call it reporting and not dictation.) Most of all, I tell students, remember that you're writing about human beings, who are complicated creatures: The good guys are never all that good, and the bad guys", "summary": "Columbia journalism school team finds major lapses in Rolling Stone's University of Virginia rape story .

Farouq -- an American -- died in a U.S. counterterrorism airstrike in January, according to the White House. Two al Qaeda hostages, Warren Weinstein of the United States and Giovanni Lo Porto from Italy, were killed in the same strike, while Gadahn died in another U.S. operation that month. Before that, Farouq was the deputy emir of al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent, or AQIS, a branch of the Islamist extremist group that formed in recent years.

+{"article": "(CNN)In 2001, the Taliban wiped out 1700 years of history in a matter of seconds, by blowing up ancient Buddha statues in central Afghanistan with dynamite. They proceeded to do so after an attempt at bringing down the 175-foot tall sculptures with anti-aircraft artillery had failed. Sadly, the event was just the first in a series of atrocities that have robbed the world of some of its most prized cultural heritage. But historical architecture is also under threat from calamities which might well escape our control, such as earthquakes and climate change. The thought of losing a piece of our collective history is a bleak one. But if loss can't be avoided, technology can lend a hand. Now CyArk, a non-profit company founded by an Iraqi-born engineer, is using groundbreaking laser scanning to ensure that -- at the very least -- incredibly accurate digital versions of the world's treasures will stay with us forever. Ben Kacyra was born in Mosul, Iraq, in 1940. He moved to the United States in 1964, and in the 1990s he was instrumental in the design of the first portable laser scanner. He founded CyArk, a company that specializes in digital preservation of threatened ancient and historical architecture, in 2003. \"Two events happened that really influenced me and my wife,\" he told CNN's Nick Glass, \"The Taliban blew up the Buddhas and an earthquake happened in Bam, in Iran. \"It demolished a whole mud city. So we looked at each other and we said, you know, sometimes you can't prevent an earthquake, obviously, and it's very expensive to go back and rebuild, but if it had been scanned, our children and grandchildren would get the opportunity to come back and learn the history of that place.\" Since then, Kacyra has been doing exactly that: in a 2011 TED talk he explained his quest to preserve our \"collective treasure\", and he has a plan to scan 500 World Heritage sites in five years. So far, the list of completed scans includes Ancient Thebes, Chichen Itza, Fort Laramie, Mesa Verde, Mount Rushmore, Petra, Pompeii, Rapa Nui, the Sydney Opera House, Tikal, and his native Mosul. The idea is not just to protect endangered structures, but to offer free educational access to the digital recreations of important monuments via the web. \"We have that data, and if something -- God forbid -- happens to these, the data is there,\" says Kacyra. In fact, current events have already caught up with the project: the Royal Tombs of Kasubi, in Uganda, were destroyed in 2010 by suspected arson. CyArk had mapped them a year earlier, and that could lead to the reconstruction of what was lost. \"I'm constantly looking at what's happening in Iraq and Syria. \"I'm so glad that we had already started and developed the tools that allowed us to go and be proactive to capture some of these things before these very unfortunate events.\" To scan the surroundings, CyArk uses a portable, eye-safe laser device based on a technology called Lidar -- a portmanteau of the words light and", "summary": "A company called CyArk specializes in digital preservation of threatened ancient and historical architecture .

Investigators are not expected to return to the crash site, said Capt. Yves Naffrechoux of the High Mountain Gendarmerie. The plane crashed March 24 in rugged terrain of the Alps about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the town of Seyne-les-Alpes. \"All the police investigators have left the (Germanwings) crash site,\" he said. \"There is only a private security company ensuring security around the crash site so that no one can go there.\" The security firm will guard the site until the remaining debris is collected and taken to secure locations for further analysis, if necessary, he said. The flight data recorder, or \"black box,\" was found Thursday by a member of the recovery team. The cockpit voice recorder was found days after the crash. In addition, out of more than 2,000 DNA samples collected from the crash site, lab workers have isolated 150 DNA profiles, said Brice Robin, Marseilles prosecutor. The crash killed all 150 people on board. Brice Robin, Marseilles prosecutor, said authorities have found 470 personnel effects at the site. That number includes 40 cell phones, though all those were badly damaged. Robin cast doubt that any useful information could be retrieved from those phones, given their condition. Authorities say the flight's co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, locked the captain out of the cockpit and engineered the plane's demise. Initial tests on the flight data recorder show that Lubitz purposely used the controls to speed up the plane's descent, according to the French air accident investigation agency, the BEA.

He pulled back the stroller's cover and saw that his son, Leo, 3, was conscious but bleeding from the left side of his head. Woolfenden checked Leo for other injuries and thought, \"Let's get out of here.\" That was before he noticed his Achilles tendon, which resembled transparent tape covered in blood, and his left tibia protruding from his boot. The boot was next to his left stump, he testified before a federal jury Thursday, the third day in which survivors and family members of those killed in the Boston Marathon bombing shared their stories -- often gruesome and heartbreaking -- in the sentencing phase for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The prosecution rested Thursday afternoon after attempting to convince jurors that Tsarnaev was cold-hearted and remorseless. The defense, led by famed death penalty opponent Judy Clarke, is expected to try to soften that portrayal by calling witnesses to explain Tsarnaev's difficult upbringing. Clarke will begin those efforts Monday. A group of Tsarnaev's relatives arrived at Boston's Logan International Airport on Thursday, CNN affiliate WHDH reported, but it's not clear if they plan to testify. The jury must decide whether the 21-year-old, who has been found guilty of perpetrating the attack with his now-deceased brother, will die for his crimes or spend his life in prison. Woolfenden, a biomedical researcher for the Novartis Institutes, recalled using his belt as a tourniquet on his leg and trying to comfort Leo. The boy cried, \"Mommy! Daddy! Mommy! Daddy! Mommy!

+{"article": "Catania, Sicily (CNN)We are at the beginning of a massive and mounting crisis with no solution in sight. Perhaps that's incorrect. The migrant crisis that has suddenly drawn hundreds of journalists to Sicily has been brewing for years, but in the past 10 days, with as many as 1,600 deaths in the Mediterranean, suddenly minds are focused -- for now. Almost exactly four years ago, in Libya, I caught, perhaps, a glimpse of what was to come. It was late at night in the besieged city of Misrata. Hundreds of African migrants were caught between the Libyan civil war (back then some optimistically called it a \"revolution\") and the deep blue sea. They had come to Misrata from Ghana, Nigeria and elsewhere, hoping to board rickety boats to cross the sea to Europe. They had been pinned down under sporadic shelling from government forces, but weren't welcome by the rebels who controlled the city. They appealed to us to help them escape. We could do nothing, but they may have eventually found their way out when the fighting subsided. The fall of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's regime, which we reporters covered so avidly, was followed by chaos, which we in the news media largely neglected, focused as we journalists were on the next catastrophe, the Syrian civil war. In that chaos, the business of human trafficking has boomed. And now that boom in human misery is coming in waves to the shores of Italy. The focus today is on those lost at sea. Aware of the tragedy underway, however, Italians are alarmed at the prospect that this year alone as many as a million migrants could arrive in Europe, according to one European Union official. That is certainly the case in the Sicilian port of Catania, where many migrants arrive. The city's mayor, Enzo Bianco, insists city residents bear no ill will toward the migrants, but says Catania, and Sicily cannot absorb the ever-growing numbers. The rest of Europe must help carry the burden. \"If something serious isn't done,\" he warns, \"dramas like these will be repeated. This problem will not be resolved by hiding our heads in the sand.\" Increasingly, some Italians are losing their patience. Two northern regions, Veneto and Valle d'Aosta, have declared they will no longer accept new migrants. The rightist Lega Nord has made opposition to new migrants a pillar of its party program. Others, however, insist Italy must keep its doors open. In Catania port, I spoke with Grazia Giurato, who had joined a small protest in solidarity with the migrants. \"Many years ago, our grandparents emigrated,\" she recalled. \"Let's keep that in mind.\" Indeed, in tougher times, millions of impoverished Italians left their homeland to settle in the Americas and Australia. They, too, like the migrants from Africa and the Middle East, were fleeing grinding poverty and war.

+{"article": "(CNN)The shootings' main similarity is that the officer was white and the victim was black and unarmed. Outside of that, the highly publicized police shootings in Ferguson and North Charleston bear only mild resemblance. So what's changed between the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August, and that of Walter Scott in North Charleston, South Carolina, last weekend? And did the backlash and publicity of the Ferguson shooting influence the handling of the North Charleston incident? It's tough to say for sure, but here are some of the stark differences in the cases, the lessons learned by both police and the public, and concrete changes that could help mend tensions in the future. Ferguson: Officer Darren Wilson said he shot Brown after the two struggled over Wilson's gun, and witnesses to the shooting had different accounts -- often conflicting -- of where Wilson was, where Brown was and whether Brown was surrendering or charging the officer. North Charleston: Though it's unclear what happened in the moments before a bystander began recording the incident on his phone, it's 100% clear from the video that Scott was not posing a threat to Officer Michael Slager when the policeman opened fire on Scott as he ran away. Takeaway: Where Brown's killing was a breeding ground for speculation -- with a stark divide between those who said Wilson was justified and those who said Brown was senselessly slain -- no such debate has emerged in the Scott shooting. It would be tough to extrapolate for certain, but it's possible that the clear-cut imagery of an officer shooting a fleeing man in the back resulted in the prompt charges against the officer, and that quick reaction by authorities in South Carolina after the video surfaced headed off the sort of violence that repeatedly unfolded in Ferguson as the process of determining Wilson's fate dragged on for months. Ferguson: Black residents outnumber whites in the St. Louis suburb by more than a 2-to-1 ratio, yet at the time of Brown's shooting, there were only three black officers on the city's 53-member force, and there was only one African-American member of the six-member City Council. (Two more African-Americans were voted in during this week's city's elections.) North Charleston: It's closer to an even split here, with census data from 2010 showing the city is 47% black and 42% white. The makeup of the city's police department is unclear, though it's been widely reported that 2007 federal figures indicated it was about 80% black. Three of the 10 City Council members are black. Takeaway: The ratio of white and black officers on the North Charleston Police Department appears to more closely mirror the makeup of its population than does the Ferguson Police Department, but both are considerably off. As for the city councils, the latest election in Ferguson makes its governing body more representative than North Charleston's. But before you place too much emphasis on the percentages, there are other variables to consider, like policing methods, as CNN political commentator Marc Lamont Hill pointed out.

+{"article": "(CNN)Just before writing this column, I reached into the depths of my wallet, and in between the pilot licenses, I slid out a postage stamp-size certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration. The certificate documents my successful completion of the DC Special Flight Rules Area, or SFRA, online course. The online course verifies that I am knowledgeable to fly a plane under visual flight rules into the most highly restricted U.S. airspace in the country. Although a \"no-fly zone\" over the White House has long existed, the SFRA airspace was developed to protect the Washington area further after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The size of the SFRA airspace is designed to be large enough to give our defense forces enough time to determine if a threat exists from an aircraft entering it, an opportunity to identify the threat, and if necessary, to divert or eliminate it. An airspeed restriction begins at a 60-mile radius from the center of Reagan National Airport. At the 30-mile radius, all aircraft must file a flight plan that identifies itself to air traffic control via a specific four-digit transponder code (a transponder is an electronic communication device that identifies a specific airplane on an air traffic controller's display screen to indicate authorization for the flight). Aircraft must enter the SFRA through specific flight \"gates\" that are displayed on a standard aviation map. Aircraft on instrument flight rule flight plans, which include all airline operations, are not required to comply with SFRA restrictions. Air traffic control assumes the responsibility for the appropriate routing. As a matter of standard procedure, flights using an instrument flight rule flight plan have specific clearances with specific transponder codes, so the authorization for transit through the SFRA airspace is already built into the system. Why do I carry the certificate as an airline pilot? I have had occasion to fly my own little airplane through the airspace on a visual flight rule flight plan. Pilot who landed gyrocopter blogged about why . Noncompliance with the airspace requirements, or worse, no communication at all, carries some serious federal penalties, which could include the suspension or revocation of your pilot license. Being at the wrong end of an F-16 missile is also a possible penalty. So how does a flying machine that looks like a sophisticated lawn chair with helicopter blades invade such highly restricted airspace, as happened Wednesday, when a postal carrier from Florida landed a single-person aircraft on Capitol grounds? Well, I'm making an assumption based on the video footage, but it appears that this aircraft is classified by the FAA as a gyrocopter. A gyrocopter cannot quite launch straight up into the air in the manner of a typical helicopter; it requires a short ground run for takeoff. And most gyrocopters are kit-built aircraft. It also appears that this particular gyrocopter may weigh just under 255 pounds, which classifies it as an ultralight aircraft in FAA parlance. Why is weight significant? Below that weight, a license for the pilot or a license for the aircraft is not required. In addition, to remain", "summary": "Les Abend: How did gyrocopter fly on to Capitol grounds when FAA, defense forces keep tight rein on airspace?

+{"article": "Los Angeles (CNN)Former rap mogul Marion \"Suge\" Knight was ordered Thursday to stand trial for murder and other charges stemming from a deadly hit-and-run confrontation on the movie set of the biopic \"Straight Outta Compton\" earlier this year. In addition to that ruling, Judge Ronald Coen also lowered Knight's bail to $10 million from $25 million, a figure that defense lawyers called excessive. The judge also dismissed one of the two counts of hit-and-run against Knight. In all, Knight will stand trial on one count of murder, one count of attempted murder and one count of hit-and-run, the judge ruled after holding a two-day preliminary hearing this week that ended Thursday. Knight, 49, faces up to life in prison if convicted. Knight suffers diabetes and blot clots, and the case has clearly strained him: He collapsed in court last month after learning of the $25 million bail and he was taken to the hospital for treatment. Knight was in court Thursday. At the end of hearing, he turned around and looked at his family in the gallery, and he smiled to his fiancee as deputies led him handcuffed out of the courtroom. In a press conference after the hearing, fiancee Toi Kelly said regarding Knight's health that he is \"doing much better.\" The judge dismissed the other hit-and-run count because California law says no more than one charge of hit-and-run should be brought against a defendant when the same weapon, in this case the vehicle Knight was driving, is used against several people. Knight is accused of running over two men, killing one of them, during an argument. Killed was Terry Carter, 55. The survivor is Cle Sloan, 51, who in testimony this week declined to identify Knight as his attacker because Sloan doesn't want to be a \"snitch\" who sends Knight to prison, according to CNN affiliates KABC and KTLA. Prosecutors offered Sloan immunity, but he still refused to testify against Knight on Monday, the affiliates reported. The deadly incident happened on January 29, after a flare-up on the set of the biopic \"Straight Outta Compton,\" a film about the highly influential and controversial rap group N.W.A. The alleged argument spilled over to the parking lot of Tam's Burgers in Compton. At the time, Knight was out on bail in a separate robbery case. The hit-and-run was captured on videotape and allegedly shows Knight inside a red truck. In the video, the truck pulls into the entrance of the Compton restaurant, and he is then approached by Sloan, who was working security on the site. The two men appear to talk for a few moments, with Knight still in his vehicle. Suddenly, the vehicle backs up, knocking Sloan to the ground. While still in reverse, the truck moves out of range of the security camera. The vehicle is then seen zooming forward, back into camera range, running over Sloan a second time, and then running over a second man, Carter, a former rap music label owner. Carter later died.

+{"article": "Marietta, Georgia (CNN)The little-known star of this week's No. 1 car chase movie, \"Furious 7\" isn't a car. It's an airplane. Film producers hired a Lockheed C-130 Hercules to fly five cars 12,000 feet high, open a cargo door at the rear of the plane and parachute them out in a spectacular free-fall stunt. Geronimo! Happy 60th birthday to the Hercules -- the oldest continuously produced family of military planes in history. Lockheed has been making these airplanes longer than the legendary B-52 bomber and the famous U2 spy jet. Unlike those planes, the C-130 has never become a household name. The fact that \"Furious 7\" producers chose a plane that was designed in the 1950s tells you a little something about the success of the Hercules. The film makes it appear as if another plane -- a C-17 Globemaster III -- drops the cars. But in real life, it took a Hercules to pull it off. Shooting the scene posed unique logistical challenges, said stunt coordinator Jack Gill in a featurette video about the mission. \"You start throwing all those cars out together -- you've got to figure out spacing. And these things drop very fast,\" Gill said. Jeremiah Beaudin of International Air Response co-piloted the stunt. \"We have to be very precise in our headings and our altitudes,\" he says in the video. The Hercules is big. It's tough. It's versatile. It refuels helicopters in flight. It can fly a small military force and its heavy equipment around the world -- and land on short, unfinished airstrips. At Lockheed's Marietta, Georgia, factory in 1955, the governor of Georgia christened the first production C-130A by smashing a bottle of Chattahoochee River water across its nose. The plane then proceeded to take off from nearby Dobbins Air Force Base. On Tuesday, exactly 60 years later, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal recreated the ceremony -- christening a brand new Super Hercules during a birthday party of sorts for Lockheed executives and military dignitaries. \"I'm told that the 2,500th version of this aircraft is now on the (assembly) line inside this building,\" Deal said. \"It transports, it becomes a war airplane as necessary and it is recognized as the true workhorse.\" Inside the plane's cockpit, Lockheed test pilot Steve Knoblock said he's done a lot of air-drop testing while flying C-130s. \"We've dropped some crazy things out,\" Knoblock said. \"Air dropping a car out of an airplane is easy. Whatever we can fit inside the (cargo) hold, we can drop.\" Several factors come into play for a pilot making a drop, Knoblock said, including payload weight, wind speed and timing. \"We have to give time for the car to clear the airplane, let the parachutes deploy, and then actually open,\" he said. One tricky decision involves how high the plane drops its cargo. \"There's a trade off -- between dropping it low and being more accurate ... and dropping it high where you have a little more safety in how it will land.\" Knoblock also explained how the C-130's robust landing gear helps the plane", "summary": "The type of plane used for a jaw-dropping stunt in \"Furious 7\" is 60 years old .

Cuba pulled off a diplomatic coup by marshaling the support of other regional countries to insist on their attendance at the Summit of the Americas. And for the first time since 1962, the U.S. has not blocked Cuba's attempt to join. Now it's time to see how they play and who they play with -- especially Venezuela, which often falls out with Washington for crushing dissent at home and supplying Havana with billions of dollars in oil. Cuba is trying to re-establish itself at the two-day summit in Panama, arriving with more than 100 government officials, diplomats, small business people and artists. But Cuba's attempts to rebrand itself as an open, diverse society stumbled Wednesday when government supporters and anti-Castro supporters brawled in the streets of Panama.

+{"article": "(CNN)Over the last few years, we've been close to eradicating worldwide polio without full success. However, a new medical technology, an easily applied microneedle patch, could be the key to that goal. The biggest challenge standing in the way of eradicating polio has involved the operational logistics of getting the vaccine to people who need it, especially in difficult areas plagued by violence or poverty. The microneedle patch, which resembles a small, round adhesive bandage, could bring polio vaccines to the doorsteps of the people that need it. By applying it to the skin and pushing down, the vaccine is delivered in a matter of minutes. Rather than requiring highly trained medics, minimally trained personnel could go from door to door, quickly administering the vaccine. It's been 60 years since a mass inoculation of Jonas Salk's vaccine began with school children in April, 1955 that caused polio cases in the United States to drop by almost 90% over the course of two years. The vaccine was eagerly awaited because, according to the CDC, about 35,000 people annually became disabled because of polio in the U.S. in the 1940s and '50s. In 1938, Roosevelt founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, an organization known today as the March of Dimes Foundation, to fight polio. The organization funded the two vaccines -- one created by Salk and another by Albert Sabin -- that would lead to the protection of most of the world against polio. Salk's vaccine, developed in the 1950s, involved injecting a virus that was \"killed,\" while Sabin's vaccine -- which he worked on in the 1960s and which was administered orally -- contained a weakened version of polio. The Sabin vaccine actually helped boost immunity in communities beyond the individual because people shed the weakened virus in their feces. It came to replace the Salk vaccine in many places between 1963 and 1999, according to the Smithsonian. But the injected \"killed\" virus version is what's given in the United States today because of the rare instances of people developing polio from the oral vaccine. Most people with polio have no symptoms; minor symptoms such as limb pain, fatigue and nausea affect about 4% to 8% of patients, according to the CDC. Fewer than 1% of cases lead to patients becoming permanently paralyzed, usually in the legs. Between 5% and 10% of paralyzed patients die when their respiratory muscles become paralyzed, too. Human beings have been living with polio for thousands of years, Dr. Stephen Cochi, a polio specialist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said. There's evidence from ancient Egypt that paralytic polio existed there and even infected royalty. But it wasn't described clinically until 1789. The United States saw its first polio outbreak in 1894 in Vermont, with 132 cases, according to the Smithsonian.

The guard came to Ferguson to support law enforcement officers, whom many community leaders and civil rights activists accused of using excessive force and inflaming an already tense situation in protests that flared sporadically from August through the end of the year. The National Guard's language, contained in internal mission briefings obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, is intensifying the concerns of some who objected to the police officers' actions in putting down riots. They broke out after the August 9 shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by city police officer Darren Wilson. A grand jury declined to indict Wilson in the case. \"It's disturbing when you have what amounts to American soldiers viewing American citizens somehow as the enemy,\" said Antonio French, an alderman in St. Louis. The documents obtained by CNN also detail that the Missouri National Guard was concerned about perceptions of its deployment, with superiors later telling troops to stop using heavily militarized language to describe protesters. And the communications show them calibrating the timing of their deployment in November -- in anticipation of the St. Louis County grand jury's decision on whether to indict Wilson -- to try to ensure that their presence didn't further dial up tensions, though several community members voiced concern that they were not deployed quickly enough. \"We are deliberately constraining mobilization timelines to the last couple days to minimize backlash from calling up the NG early,\" Col. David Boyle, Army chief of staff at the Missouri National Guard, informed his officers in a Nov. 18 email. \"We have coordinated for lower profile, less confrontation likely mission sets to emphasize support roles and minimize public militarization perception.\" Additionally, some in the National Guard seemed worried the language in the mission briefings could be problematic. Days before the announcement of the grand jury's decision, an email from Boyle warned of potential consequences from using language that could be \"construed as potentially inflammatory.\" Two days after that, notification was sent to commanding officers stating that \"all reference of 'enemy' were changed to state 'criminal elements'.\" Still, National Guard spokesman Capt. Quinn defended the militarized language as standard for the planning process ahead of deployment. In an email to CNN, he said the documents used in the Ferguson mission briefings were \"a generic military planning format utilized in a wide range of military missions, so the term 'enemy forces' would be better understood as 'potential threats.' Often in Guard operations, threats would include inclement weather, heat, failing levees, etc.\" In further comments emailed to CNN late Friday, after the initial version of this article appeared, Quinn insisted that \"while the term 'enemy forces' appears in a handful of early drafts of the operations order it was also clear that as soon as leadership saw the language, they correctly identified it", "summary": "The National Guard's language worries those who objected to the tactics used in quelling riots .

+{"article": "(CNN)\"Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me,\" Jesus tells the rich man in one of his best-known parables. It was a mantra he invoked repeatedly: the poor were blessed, and it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it was for the well-to-do to enter paradise. Meanwhile, Jesus told his Twelve Apostles to leave their day jobs and follow him on an itinerant mission with few prospects of success and no visible means of support. So how did this wandering band of first-century evangelists support themselves? Clearly, money was a concern, and not just as an impediment to salvation. In the New Testament, money gets 37 mentions, while \"gold\" gets 38 citations, \"silver\" merits 20, and \"copper\" four. \"Coin\" comes up eight times, and \"purse\" and \"denarii\" -- the Roman currency -- get half a dozen mentions each for a total of 119 currency referrals. Perhaps the most relevant reference is also one of the most charged passages in the New Testament: . As the Gospel of John tells it, six days before Passover, Jesus was in Bethany at the house of his friend Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. A woman named Mary takes a jar of costly perfumed oil and anoints the feet of the reclining Jesus. She dries his feet with her hair, an irresistible image for artists and dramatists. Judas Iscariot objected to the act. \"Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?\" Judas asks. Though 300 denarii was the annual wage of a laborer, Jesus told Judas to leave her alone, and foreshadowing his fate, said the anointing would be useful for his burial, and besides, \"you always have the poor with you\" -- but Jesus would not always be there. What that passage makes clear is that the Jesus community had a common purse because they needed money to survive. So how much? \"I imagine the ministry functioned at a subsistence level,\" Rabbi Joshua Garroway, a professor of Early Christianity and the Second Commonwealth at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles. Jesus and his disciples walked, wore what they had, slept outside or in stayed in friends' homes. They ate what they caught or what others shared. \"I venture to guess that begging and hospitality will have sufficed to meet the basic needs of Jesus and the companions with whom he traveled,\" Garroway said. Garroway said that it was possible, even likely, that Jesus and his followers received donations from supporters, and possibly substantial ones from some of the rich people who were drawn to his ministry despite -- or perhaps because of -- his preaching on the perils of wealth. The Gospel of Luke gives us a glimpse of how Jesus' ministry functioned on a practical level: . \"Soon afterwards he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God.

But it's no longer enough for them, says a study published Friday. They've developed a new IT weapon and have attacked servers outside their borders, including in the United States. The study's authors have named it the \"Great Cannon,\" and it operates in plain sight. Going on the attack so visibly and handily within another country's borders will probably draw international ire, the study's authors say, and Beijing may have counted on that. \"This is a powerful attack capability, and we are curious about the risk and benefit analysis that led the Chinese government to reveal it with this highly visible denial of service attack,\" said researcher John Scott-Railton. The reason Chinese censors are taking that risk: Free-speech cyberactivists have found ways to get around the Great Firewall and give Chinese readers greater access to the West's free press. Enter the \"Great Cannon.\" It blasts targeted Web servers with massive distributed denial of service attacks, and it uses the Web browsers of unsuspecting Web surfers to do it. The Cannon wrecked two online services with DDoS attacks in March, say the researchers from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, the International Computer Science Institute, the University of California-Berkeley and Princeton University. Many of the researchers focus on the abuse of information technology to undermine civil liberties and human rights. And they are afraid this new cyberweapon could easily be used for an array of powerful attacks beyond what they've already observed. \"A modest technical change could turn the Great Cannon into a malware delivery device for infecting the computer of a target individual anywhere in the world who visits a Chinese server,\" Scott-Railton said. This might include all emails headed in and out of China, he said. \"The device could replace genuine attachments with malicious files, for example.\" One of the Great Cannon's targets that the researchers studied was an obvious one -- Greatfire.org, run by Chinese expats bent on fighting Beijing's censorship. They monitor Chinese citizens' access to international news sites such as German news service Deutsche Welle or The Tibet Post. But the other target may seem odd at first glance. GitHub is a popular Silicon Valley hosting service used by programmers who want to share code with each other. The two attacks were connected, however, the study says. GreatFire.org hosted two GitHub repositories that contained computer code allowing Chinese readers to get around the Great Firewall and read The New York Times in Chinese. Critical articles from the Times are a particular fly in the ointment for Beijing, and China has turned away at least three of the paper's reporters in short succession, according to a U.S. congressional commission on China.

As Iraqi forces, aided by Shiite militiamen, took control Wednesday of the northern city of Tikrit, they found vehicles laden with explosives and buildings that might be booby-trapped. CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon, who was in Tikrit on Tuesday, saw a large mechanical digger packed with explosives that Iraqi forces had to disarm. The troops, she said, were cautious when they entered buildings in case they were wired to explode. Plumes of smoke rose from burning buildings in the background. Near former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's presidential palaces compound -- Tikrit is Hussein's birthplace -- the CNN team also saw a destroyed truck with a large machine gun mounted on the back. Iraqi forces said they had fired an RPG at the truck, killing three ISIS fighters. ISIS was ejected from the palaces compound in fierce fighting, they said, adding that there may still be booby traps. Federal police said they dismantled hundreds of IEDs (improvised explosive devices) Wednesday. CNN heard at least 16 explosions, some very loud, which police said were controlled. The potential booby traps were political as well as physical. Officials are concerned about the behavior of the conquerors, particularly the Iranian-backed Shiite militiamen who helped Iraqi troops. Officials fear the militiamen might take \"scorched earth\" reprisals for the reported massacre of Shiite air force cadets by ISIS fighters in Tikrit last year. Much of the population of Tikrit is, like ISIS, Sunni Muslim. And officials fear that reprisals by Shiite militias against the Sunni population could stoke local anger, jeopardizing the government's ability to hold onto Tikrit and pull the country together. Sectarian resentment helped fuel the rise of ISIS in the first place. 'Where are our sons?' demand families of soldiers captured by ISIS . Still, the liberation of Tikrit from the terrorist group, which is also known as ISIL and calls itself the Islamic State, represented a significant victory for the Iraqi government, which had tried -- and failed -- to retake the city many times before. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi arrived Wednesday to claim the victory, which took place a year after the city was first attacked by ISIS. Al-Abadi, who is also Iraq's top military commander, had announced the previous evening on Iraqiya TV that the city was under the control of Iraqi forces.

+{"article": "(CNN)There are two paths to practicing medicine in America. There's the traditional, time-tested way, where new doctors graduate from medical school and then pass a series of national exams while training for years as resident physicians. Then there's the approach being forged in Florida and Arizona: getting elected to a state legislature. Lawmakers in those states are too often donning the white coats to orchestrate medical practice. In 2011, Florida enacted the Firearm Owners' Privacy Act, which threatens prosecution and loss of licensure for any physicians who dare ask their patients about gun ownership and gun safety. Guns are a scientifically uncontested health risk. Asking about them is standard practice in pediatrics and psychiatry. I treat brain injuries, and it's part of my job to talk with patients about things that might be unsafe for them, like driving. And handling weapons. Some of those I treat suffered their injuries by bullets, typically fired by family members or themselves. Does anyone really believe I shouldn't talk about gun safety in these cases? It's a good thing I don't practice in Florida. Florida's gun censorship law was dragged into court soon after the governor signed it, and while a three-judge appeals panel upheld the law last summer, doctors can still ask about guns while the full 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decides whether it will take up the case, a decision that could come down any day, the president of the Florida chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Tommy Schechtman, told me. He is a plaintiff in the case. In Arizona, another assault on physician free speech is scheduled to go into effect this summer. Bill 1318 goes a step beyond silencing doctors. It requires them to lie. The bill was originally a hum-drum attempt to block health plans from covering abortion services, a common state and federal strategy. But legislators slid in a last-minute provision mandating that physicians who prescribe the abortion pill RU-486 tell patients the pill is reversible. That's the opinion of a particular San Diego doctor who says this can be done through risky, large doses of progesterone. But the doctor hasn't proven his case, and his regimen is not recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or the Food and Drug Administration. Any doctor is certainly within his or her rights to review the limited information available about the San Diego regimen and decide whether to discuss it with patients, but actually requiring physicians to make claims most believe to be untrue and unsafe means the legislators are overstepping their bounds and interfering with the patient-doctor relationship. I cannot imagine anyone attempting to put words into the mouth of a lawyer privately consulting with a client. Why are physicians putting up with a professional assault the American Bar Association would never permit?

+{"article": "(CNN)Nobel literature laureate Guenter Grass, best known around the world for his novel \"The Tin Drum,\" has died, his publisher said Monday. He was 87. Grass died in a clinic in the city of Luebeck, where he was taken over the weekend, said Steidl publishing spokeswoman Claudia Glenewinkel. German media are reporting he died of pneumonia. Grass focused in much of his work on learning from the horror of war and genocide by exploring motifs from his childhood city of Danzig, which is now Gdansk, Poland. During the Nazi era, ethnic Poles and Jews were persecuted and deported from the multicultural city, at a time when they faced the possibility of mass murder. \"In his excavation of the past, G\u00fcnter Grass goes deeper than most and he unearths the intertwined roots of good and evil,\" the Nobel committee wrote, when it awarded him the literature prize in 1999. But Grass, an outspoken public figure, has sparked controversy in the last decade. In 2006, he confessed that at the age of 15, in 1943, he volunteered for military service in Germany's war of aggression and ended up in the notoriously bloody Waffen SS. Grass said he had no excuses for his choices back then, and that, as a teen, he may even have been excited about belonging to the unit, which he saw then as an elite group. A year later, he penned a detailed account in The New Yorker on how he spent his war years up to the death of German dictator Adolf Hitler. Three years ago, Grass drew controversy again, when he published a poem in a German newspaper discouraging Germany from selling more submarines to Israel. In \"What must be said,\" Grass accused Germany of selling weapons to a potential aggressor out of guilt over the Holocaust. Grass said Israel could use nuclear weapons to kill masses of Iranians. German commentators pilloried him as subconsciously anti-Semitic. Israel invoked a visa ban, and then-Interior Minister Eli Yishai declared Grass a \"persona non grata\" in Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported. Grass' novel characters are the forgotten, the downtrodden and the weird, the Nobel committee said. And like Oskar Matzerath, the boy in \"The Tin Drum,\" they often slip into surreal situations. This was a literary innovation, the committee said, which was furthered by other great authors, such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Nadine Gordimer and Salman Rushdie. On Monday, Rushdie tweeted about Grass' death: \"This is very sad. A true giant, inspiration, and friend.\" \"The Tin Drum,\" which was published in 1959, \"breaks the bounds of realism by having as its protagonist and narrator an infernal intelligence in the body of a three-year-old, a monster who overpowers the fellow human beings he approaches with the help of a toy drum,\" the Nobel committee wrote.

In a Chicago appearance recently, the retired congressman had the sold-out crowd at the Center on Halsted well entertained as he detailed his 45-year journey in public service. Frank, you'll recall, was the first member of Congress to marry someone of the same-sex while in office, and among other things, he had some choice words for closeted politicians who vote against LGBT rights. And when someone in the audience asked his thoughts about a current ballot proposal in California that would legalize killing gay people, he said he wasn't aware of the measure but told the young man not to \"worry yourself about the crazy people.\" \"We're winning,\" he said before joking that the name of the California proposal -- \"The Sodomite Suppression Act\" -- sounded like a porno. \"We're winning\" is a phrase I've heard a lot recently as it pertains to LGBT rights. And I guess if you look at where the country was 10 years ago, we definitely are. That's assuming you are part of the \"we\" that believes LGBT people should have the same rights as their heterosexual/cisgender counterparts. Or at least not \"be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method\" as the California proposal suggests. (It's unclear whether Matt McLaughlin, the Huntington Beach lawyer who submitted the proposal, is being sincere or just an ass, but the fact remains that if he collects enough signatures there appears to be no legal way of stopping it from going on the ballot.) Frank's \"we're winning\" declaration was oddly timed, too. Less than 24 hours after his talk, the governor in the next state over signed an anti-LGBT \"religious freedom\" bill into the law -- one that allows businesses to challenge in court local laws that forbid discriminating against customers based on sexual orientation. \"Many people of faith feel their religious liberty is under attack by government action,\" Indiana Gov.

Shelling began to boom through the Yemeni city of Aden on Thursday afternoon as we hurried back to board the boat that had brought us here from Djibouti. Aden is a city gripped by fear, desperation and want. People line up for bread, they line up for cooking fuel, and the electricity only works a few hours a day. And from late afternoon onward, most people stay indoors. That is the time of the shelling, the daily aerial bombardment. How we got to Yemen: 30 dangerous hours in a boat . Saudi Arabia began airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen three weeks ago Thursday. But Aden remains a city not fully in the hands either of Houthi rebels or forces loyal to the ousted government of President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi. Everyone we spoke to Thursday told us the same thing: Living in Aden these days is terrifying. We visited a hospital where doctors have given up trying to count the dead and the dying who are brought in. Officials said they believe the toll of the dead runs into the hundreds. Everywhere, we felt, saw, heard and smelled the desperation. We spoke to some of the loyalist military commanders. They said they felt they were pushing back the Houthi forces. The Houthis forced Hadi from power in January, though Hadi still claims to be Yemen's legitimate leader and is working with the Saudis and other allies to return to Yemen. Those allied with Hadi have accused the Iranian government of supporting the Houthis in their uprising in Yemen. 'A window into hell': Desperate Yemenis flee Saudi airstrikes by boat . Since Saudi Arabia began aerial raids March 26, it has launched more than 1,200 airstrikes. Saudi officials said they have killed more than 500 Houthi rebels. But the reality is that a good portion of the armaments the Saudis send in on guided parachutes fall instead into Houthi hands. There is, to be sure, a sense that three weeks into this operation, the Saudis are making some headway with the strikes. But given how far along they are into the operation, the expectation would have been -- especially given the aerial cover the Saudis are providing for loyalist forces on the ground -- that the Houthi forces would have been pushed further back.

+{"article": "(CNN)On Thursday, President Barack Obama revealed that a U.S. drone strike had killed Warren Weinstein and Giovanni Lo Porto, two aid workers held hostage on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Al Qaeda had sought to trade the two for prisoners held by the United States and an end to drone strikes. But it is not only terrorist groups that try to reap reward from the taking of hostages -- take the case of Jason Rezaian, The Washington Post's Tehran bureau chief. On April 20, just two days before diplomats resumed talks in Vienna, Austria, to reach a final agreement over Iran's nuclear program, Rezaian's Iranian attorney announced that his client had been charged with espionage, conducting propaganda, collaborating with foreign governments and collecting information \"with malicious intent.\" The State Department, Rezaian's employers at The Washington Post and fellow journalists reacted with outrage. Their anger is justified, but the decision should surprise no one: There is a long history of rogue regimes seizing hostages against the backdrop of diplomacy to extract concessions, humiliate the United States or signal unease. The scale of Iran's current hostage-taking -- not only Rezaian but also Iranian-Americans Saeed Abedini and Amir Hekmati -- may pale in comparison with Iranian behavior of decades past. But the use of hostages to extract concessions or dampen the enthusiasm surrounding reconciliation is part of a consistent pattern. Consider the original Iran hostage seizure: On November 4, 1979, radical students seized the American Embassy in Tehran, ultimately holding 52 diplomats hostage for 444 days. Often forgotten was what sparked that episode, which occurred more than nine months after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini declared the Islamic revolution victorious. The problem was a rush to reconcile: At a November 1, 1979, Algiers reception, Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, met Iranian Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan. According to Brzezinski's own memoir, he told Bazargan that the United States was open to any relationship the Islamic republic wanted. Photos of their handshake graced newspapers around the world. Iranian hardliners, meanwhile, were apoplectic that Barzagan was \"betraying\" Iran's revolutionary principles, and seized the embassy to block any rapprochement.

The next time he spoke with him, more than two months had passed and the younger Jordan was on a German-flagged container ship 200 miles from North Carolina, just rescued from his disabled boat. \"I thought I lost you,\" the relieved father said. Louis Jordan, 37, took his 35-foot sailboat out in late January and hadn't been heard from in 66 days when he was spotted Thursday afternoon by the Houston Express on his ship drifting in the Atlantic Ocean. \"I was utterly thankful and grateful to the people who rescued me, and I was grateful to God that my parents were not going to be worried about me,\" Jordan told CNN. Frank Jordan told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he had worried about his son, who is an inexperienced sailor, but he held hope because his son had a good boat. And he had the strength to make it. \"He's got very strong constitution and (is strong) not only physically, but spiritually,\" Frank Jordan told CNN. \"And he told me on the phone that he was praying the whole time, so I believe that sustained him a great deal.\" The younger Jordan said he took his sailboat out to the Gulf Stream to find some better fishing, when it capsized. He broke his shoulder when the boat flipped. Because of the injury, Jordan couldn't repair the boat's mast, which had snapped. \"Everything I owned got broken -- all my electronics, my GPS devices,\" Jordan said. He was dead in the water. Jordan drifted in the Atlantic, rationing food and water until his shoulder healed. He was able to rig a makeshift mast and sail, Jordan said, but he could make little headway against the currents. \"It took so long,\" he said. \"It moved so slowly.\" The boat capsized two more times before he was rescued, according to Jordan. After his food and water ran out, it became an issue of survival. Collecting fresh water was a nightmare for Jordan. The weather wouldn't cooperate. \"I had tried to collect (rain)water ... but every time the waves would splash into the boat,\" Jordan said. \"The waves would put saltwater into my freshwater and it tasted bad. \"Finally the conditions were right.

The additional troops came from Camp Speicher, a fortified Iraqi base near the city of Tikrit, according to the media office of the Hasd Al-Shaabi militia. The reinforcements include two federal police regiments, an Iraqi military quick reaction force battalion and a regiment from Hasd Al-Shaabi, which is a predominantly Shia militia that worked with the Iraqi military as well as Sunni fighters to liberate Tikrit from ISIS about two weeks ago. ISIS launched an assault on the Baiji oil refinery late Saturday. By Sunday, ISIS said its fighters were inside the refinery and controlled several buildings, but Iraqi government security officials denied that claim and insisted that Iraqi forces remained in full control. The Hasd Al-Shaabi media office said Tuesday that Iraqi troops already at the refinery were holding their ground, preparing to push ISIS out of the facility entirely.

The walkout occurred Wednesday on the set of \"The Ridiculous Six\" near Las Vegas, New Mexico, according to the Indian Country Today Media Network. The script called for native women's names such as \"Beaver's Breath\" and \"No Bra\" and an actress portraying an Apache woman to squat and urinate while smoking a peace pipe, ICTMN reported. \"When I began doing this film, I had an uneasy feeling inside of me and I felt so conflicted. ... We talked to the producers about our concerns. They just told us, 'If you guys are so sensitive, you should leave,' \" said Allison Young, a Navajo and one of the actors who left the set. \"Nothing has changed,\" she told ICTMN. \"We are still just Hollywood Indians.\" \"They were being disrespectful,\" added David Hill, a Choctaw actor. \"They were bringing up those same old arguments that Dan Snyder uses in defending the (Washington) Redskins. But let me tell you, our dignity is not for sale.\" Produced by Sandler's Happy Madison Productions as part of a four-picture deal with Netflix, \"The Ridiculous Six\" also stars Will Forte, Taylor Lautner, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Nick Nolte, Luke Wilson and Rob Schneider, among others. The ICTMN describes the movie as a Western spoof on \"The Magnificent Seven,\" the 1960 classic about gunfighters who protect a village from a group of bandits. The movie was co-written by Sandler and is being directed by his frequent collaborator Frank Coraci. Actors playing historical figures include David Spade as General Custer, Blake Shelton as Wyatt Earp and Vanilla Ice as Mark Twain, according to the Internet Movie Database.

+{"article": "(CNN)If you've been following the news lately, there are certain things you doubtless know about Mohammad Javad Zarif. He is, of course, the Iranian foreign minister. He has been U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's opposite number in securing a breakthrough in nuclear discussions that could lead to an end to sanctions against Iran -- if the details can be worked out in the coming weeks. And he received a hero's welcome as he arrived in Iran on a sunny Friday morning. \"Long live Zarif,\" crowds chanted as his car rolled slowly down the packed street. You may well have read that he is \"polished\" and, unusually for one burdened with such weighty issues, \"jovial.\" An Internet search for \"Mohammad Javad Zarif\" and \"jovial\" yields thousands of results. He certainly has gone a long way to bring Iran in from the cold and allow it to rejoin the international community. But there are some facts about Zarif that are less well-known. Here are six: . In September 2013, Zarif tweeted \"Happy Rosh Hashanah,\" referring to the Jewish New Year. That prompted Christine Pelosi, the daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, to respond with a tweet of her own: \"Thanks. The New Year would be even sweeter if you would end Iran's Holocaust denial, sir.\" And, perhaps to her surprise, Pelosi got a response. \"Iran never denied it,\" Zarif tweeted back. \"The man who was perceived to be denying it is now gone. Happy New Year.\" The reference was likely to former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who had left office the previous month. Zarif was nominated to be foreign minister by Ahmadinejad's successor, Hassan Rouhami. His foreign ministry notes, perhaps defensively, that \"due to the political and security conditions of the time, he decided to continue his education in the United States.\" That is another way of saying that he was outside the country during the demonstrations against the Shah of Iran, which began in 1977, and during the Iranian Revolution, which drove the shah from power in 1979. Zarif left the country in 1977, received his undergraduate degree from San Francisco State University in 1981, his master's in international relations from the University of Denver in 1984 and his doctorate from the University of Denver in 1988. Both of his children were born in the United States. The website of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, which Zarif runs, cannot even agree with itself on when he was born. The first sentence of his official biography, perhaps in a nod to the powers that be in Tehran, says Zarif was \"born to a religious traditional family in Tehran in 1959.\" Later on the same page, however, his date of birth is listed as January 8, 1960. And the Iranian Diplomacy website says he was born in in 1961 . So he is 54, 55 or maybe even 56. Whichever, he is still considerably younger than his opposite number, Kerry, who is 71.

A Connecticut juvenile court judge issued a written decision Wednesday denying a motion to let the teen, identified in court documents as \"Cassandra C.,\" go home. The judge also denied a motion for visitation. The 17-year-old is in remission after nearly six months of forced chemo treatments. On March 16, Michtom tried to convince the court that she should be able to return to her mother's home because she was no longer at imminent risk of harm from her illness. Michtom and attorney Michael Taylor, who represents Cassandra's mother, Jackie Fortin, released a written statement after receiving the judge's decision Wednesday: \"We are disappointed in this ruling, not least of all because it draws a factual conclusion that is directly contradicted by the weight of the evidence. We're conferring with our clients now about next steps, including whether to take another appeal.\" Cassandra was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in September and medical experts gave her an 85% chance of survival if treated with chemotherapy. Without it, doctors said at the time, she was likely to die within two years. She started chemotherapy in November but ran away after two days, according to court documents, when she decided she did not want to put the poison of the treatment into her body. In December, a judge ordered the young woman to be under the custody of the Connecticut Department of Children and Families. At that time, she was admitted to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford and has remained there since then. Doctors surgically implanted a port in Cassandra's chest to administer chemotherapy medications, which began in spite of legal maneuvers to halt them. Cassandra is feeling well and is in good shape as far as her health is concerned, according to Michtom. \"She's seen in her case the side effects weren't bad, and she's been well-treated by the nurses and doctors and does want to complete the treatment,\" he said. Her treatment is scheduled to wrap up this month. Michtom and Taylor failed in their effort before the Connecticut Supreme Court to make the case that Cassandra was mature enough to make her own medical decisions. Joette Katz, the commissioner of the Department of Children and Families, told CNN in March the agency is \"very pleased with Cassandra's progress toward a complete recovery. We understand how difficult this has been for Cassandra and her family, but we have had full confidence throughout that the medical professionals involved in her treatment would be successful in saving her life.\" The agency has denied CNN's request to speak with Cassandra or her physicians.

China has now updated the practice for the digital age -- launching a smartphone app starring its current leader, President Xi Jinping, and featuring his latest speeches, statements and publications. Designed by the Central Party School, which trains Chinese Communist Party leaders, the app aims to \"arouse enthusiasm\" for socialist ideologies. \"With the help of Internet technology, we hope that the theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics will be presented in a way that appeals to web users,\" Chen Jiancai, the managing editor of the school's official web site, said, according to Xinhua, China's state news agency. The app features the latest news about Xi and allows users to access the traditional texts that Xi quotes from. It even has an interactive map that allows you to pinpoint exactly where he made the speeches. It's unclear how many people have downloaded the app, which is available on Apple's App Store. Willy Lam, a China politics scholar at the Chinese University of Hong Kong told CNN the app forms part of Xi's efforts to cultivate a very different image to his predecessors. Xi is keen to be portrayed as a strong leader and as a man of the people -- he's been photographed eating dumplings and has appeared in three animated cartoons. His down-to-earth behavior has drawn a huge number of fans, who address him as \"Xi Dada\"-- Big Uncle Xi -- but it's also aroused concern among some China analysts, who believe that Xi is using the state propaganda apparatus to build a cult of personality. \"This is the 21st century's Little Red Book,\" Lam says. \"He wants to be the supreme authority and build his prestige.

+{"article": "(CNN)\"Hamlet.\" \"Romeo and Juliet.\" \"A Midsummer Night's Dream.\" For centuries, these plays and three dozen more by William Shakespeare have formed history's most heralded literary canon. But now they may have to make room for an addition to Shakespeare's famous oeuvre. New research indicates that \"Double Falsehood,\" a play first published in 1728 by Lewis Theobald, was actually written more than a century earlier by Shakespeare himself with help from his friend John Fletcher. The findings were published this week by two scholars who used computer software to analyze the writings of the three men and compare it with the language of the \"newer\" play. \"The match between the 'Double Falsehood' play and Shakespeare was a landslide. It was shockingly clear,\" said Ryan L. Boyd, a researcher at the University of Texas at Austin. The study, co-authored by Boyd and UT colleague James W. Pennebaker, was published in the journal Psychological Science. \"There's very little wiggle room to interpret the numbers any differently.\" Boyd said he and Pennebaker analyzed 33 plays by Shakespeare, nine by Fletcher and 12 by Theobald to create a \"psychological signature\" of each author based on word choices, phrase patterns and other factors. They compared those profiles to the language in \"Double Falsehood\" and determined that the play's first half was almost entirely written by Shakespeare, though the second half appeared to be split evenly between Shakespeare and Fletcher. Only tiny traces of Theobald's signature were found. \"We're certainly not suggesting that Theobald didn't make edits,\" Boyd told CNN. \"But he clearly did not write it.\" \"Double Falsehood,\" also known as \"The Distressed Lovers,\" is based on the \"Cardenio\" section of Don Quixote, the classic 17th-century novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Set in Spain, the play revolves around the romantic entanglements of two brothers: one virtuous, one sinful. Theobald said he based the play on three original manuscripts he had discovered, all of them written by Shakespeare. But many scholars have long dismissed the play as a fake, suspecting that Theobald tried to pass the Bard's work off as his own. Shakespeare, who died in 1616, wrote most of his published plays between 1590 and 1612. British publishers Arden Shakespeare published \"Double Falsehood\" in 2010 -- for the first time in 250 years -- amid renewed claims by experts that it was Shakespeare's work. But the new study by Boyd and Pennebaker, the first to analyze the writings from a psychological perspective, may settle the matter once and for all. Shakespearean scholar Brean Hammond, professor of modern English literature at Nottingham University in the UK, praised the Texas study for its scientific approach. Hammond said Boyd and Pennebaker \"have got no dogs in the fight. They're not literary scholars, (so) their work could be seen as more objective than some of the literary studies.\" Hammond studied \"Double Falsehood's\" authorship from a literary perspective five years ago and found Shakespeare's DNA evident in the play. But he doubts the new research will put the matter entirely to rest. \"Those people who don't believe the play was written by Shakespeare", "summary": "New research indicates that a play published in 1728 was written by William Shakespeare .

Elizabeth Warren last week offered a defiant response: \"Bring it on.\" Warren said she isn't going to slack off on her calls for breaking up banks and other measures to rein in Wall Street. As Hillary Clinton prepares to officially launch her presidential campaign this month, she will need to make a choice about how much to highlight issues relating to economic inequality. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, who is also running for the Democratic nomination, is trying to steal Clinton's thunder by talking about the problems of disproportionate wealth. In other words, there are many signs that Democrats are planning to take on the big issue of economic inequality. But in other recent news, the likelihood that New York's Chuck Schumer will replace Harry Reid as leader of the Senate Democrats means the dreams of a more economically leftward party are crashing into political reality. While Schumer has been a very effective Democrat and skilled legislative leader, he is also a Wall Street Democrat who has spent much of his time courting and protecting powerful financial interests who run one of the dominant industries in his state. He is not alone. Even at his most progressive moments, President Barack Obama relied on Wall Street donations for both of his campaigns. Despite all the talk from conservatives about left-wing \"socialism\" in the White House, the financial community has been willing to open its coffers to Democrats without much concern, even in the 2012 election. Democratic populism can't really work within the current campaign finance system. The enormous pressures for parties to raise funds in campaigns has for many decades created pressure on Democrats, despite their political base, to court big donors. During the 1980s, California Democrat Tony Coelho, serving as the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and then as majority whip, made a strong appeal to savings and loans executives before the crash of the industry to catch up to Republicans who had been outflanking them in raising money. The Democrats were, and have continued to, losing their traditional base of campaign support --organized labor -- which had been a central source of campaign muscle since the 1930s, providing money and campaign assistance during campaigns. Without organized labor to serve as their foundation and with the pressure for raising private funds increasing, many Democrats concluded they needed business by their side. Democrats running for president have made the same kind of choices. In 2008, Obama disappointed many supporters upon becoming the first president to abandon the post-Watergate public finance system for campaigns altogether, preferring to raise money himself for the general campaign. While small donors were enormously important to his victories, so too were business and Wall Street executives. At the height of the financial crash, when public sentiment had clearly turned against Wall Street, the administration agreed to a financial regulation bill (Dodd-Frank) that was structured in such a way as to give powerful interests more than enough opportunity to limit the bite", "summary": "Julian Zelizer: Elizabeth Warren was defiant about Wall Street, but Hillary Clinton likely won't be .

+{"article": "(CNN)The verdict of the opinion polls on the UK election debate between seven party leaders was simple enough: Between David Cameron of the Conservatives, Ed Miliband of Labour, Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats, Nigel Farage of the United Kingdom Independence Party, Natalie Bennett of the Green Party, Nicola Sturgeon of the Scottish National Party and Leanne Wood of Plaid Cymru, the Welsh Nationalists, there really was no clear winner. Comres for ITV, which staged the debate, had Cameron, Miliband and Farage tied first with 21% and Sturgeon close behind on 20%. ICM for The Guardian scored it Miliband 25, Cameron 24, Farage 19 and Sturgeon 17. YouGov for The Times put Sturgeon first with 28 points to 20 for Farage, 18 for Cameron and only 15 for Miliband. Back in the 1950s, UK politics was simpler: Labour and Conservatives combined took 97% of the votes. But nowadays they struggle to collect two-thirds of the national vote between them. In our anti-politics age nationalists and others have advanced and the leaders' TV debate was no gladiatorial contest with a straightforward outcome. Rather it was a cacophonous shouting match that probably gave all parties' supporters some satisfaction but which offered little new insight to the undecided voter. From a highly confused affair we can perhaps take six lessons: . As the incumbent Prime Minister, Cameron is probably wise to have refused all invitations to go head to head with Miliband alone in verbal fisticuffs. He has risked being labelled a coward for doing so but it was a tactical decision. Miliband has been given a hard time by the British media who have gloated over his difficulties in eating a bacon sandwich and presented him as an awkward geek. But Labour's leader is a perfectly capable debater. He could only gain from their confrontation. As it is, election time media exposure has already seen Miliband's ratings as a leader improve. The electoral strengths and weaknesses of the two main leaders are emerging. In an earlier clash involving separate sessions before a studio audience and in a grilling by UK TV's Grand Inquisitor Jeremy Paxman, Cameron proved vulnerable on broken promises to cut immigration, on the number of people employed on zero-hours contracts and on being too kind to the rich in his taxation policies. Miliband has looked unconvincing on how he will fund his promises to continue cutting the budget deficit and how he will curb immigration; he also is still embarrassed when questioners remind audiences how he knifed his brother David to get the leader's job. The impression so far is that Britain's voters don't much like the Conservatives despite the recovering economy but don't quite trust Labour to continue the improvement. Miliband, told by his handlers to look tough, is using the \"i\" word too much. Cameron is curiously short on passion. An oddity of the Seven Up debate was that many who viewed it will have no chance of voting for two of the leaders involved, Sturgeon of the Scottish National Party and Wood of Plaid Cymru.

Because the leader of the free world refuses to look with clear eyes at the chief security challenges of the 21st century: the fruits of radical Islam. The results of the Obama White House's innovative efforts to make the world a better place can be accounted for in the ever-growing numbers of victims of radical Islam in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. Not to mention here in the United States, Canada and Europe. Is it not a tragic irony that the Arab Spring-era policies of a Nobel Peace Prize recipient accommodated the transition of Syria into the world's newest jihad theater while leaving Libya a failed state and Yemen a failing state? The Syrian jihad gave rise to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which now uses Syria as a rear operating base to support its jihad in Iraq, which could soon spill over into Jordan. Plus, Libya is now being used as a rear operating base by ISIS and other global jihadist elements striving to redraw the map of the Middle East, even as they plan attacks in Europe and North America. Given the frightfully slow pace America's commander-in-chief is currently allowing our military and intelligence community to take action against both ISIS and its progenitor, al Qaeda, the picture of what's in store is clear: The body count will continue to grow in the places where these groups can generate buy-in for their agendas. And neither the United States nor our Western allies are immune to this cancer. Academics who must say something new or different to garner interest in their work may describe the agendas of ISIS and al Qaeda as distinctly different. But the fact is they are not -- their agendas, which constitute the foremost threats to the global security environment today, are manifestations of radical Islam. Of course, it's hardly a surprise President Barack Obama refuses to acknowledge all this in plain terms -- the president and his national security advisers have too often proven na\u00efve, with a dangerous habit of viewing the world not as it is, but as they hope it could be. There is no shortage of examples that highlight the absence of sound foresight on the parts of the world's most powerful politician and his national security team. Just take the National Strategy for Counterterrorism published by the White House in 2011. That document contained the assertion that, \"Since the beginning of 2011, the transformative change sweeping North Africa and the Middle East -- along with the death of Osama bin Laden -- has further changed the nature of the terrorist threat, par-ticularly as the relevance of al Qaeda and its ideology has been further diminished.\" Yet, fast forward to January 2014 and America's top intelligence official, director of National Intelligence James Clapper, advised Congress that al Qaeda was no less capable of threatening the United States and our allies than a decade earlier.

What was supposed to be an overnight pit stop in the southwestern city of Chongqing has now stretched into a two-and-a-half week stay. It's an unexpected layover that is testing the patience of the pilots and more than 60 team members, just a quarter of the way along a journey that will cover some 35,000 kilometers (21,748 miles) over five months. \"You can believe that your will can influence the weather,\" says pilot Bertrand Piccard, who comes from a long family line of explorers. But \"then you'll be really disappointed because it doesn't work. \"Or you just know that it's an adventure you do with the forces of nature.\" Piccard, along with Andre Borschberg, a Swiss engineer, are taking turns flying the single-seater aircraft, which took off from Abu Dhabi on March 9 and has successfully flown through Oman, India, and Myanmar. There is much at stake. Their mission, which the pilots say is aimed at proving the power of renewable energy, and inspiring innovation, has been 12 years in the making. In many ways, it has become Piccard and Borschberg's raison d'etre. But so far, the Solar Impulse 2 has been spending a lot of time on the ground. The latest setback came when a Thursday takeoff was canceled, because the cross winds in Nanjing, the plane's destination, were forecast to be too strong around its expected landing time. Because of its weight, at just 2,300 kilograms -- about the same as a large SUV -- the aircraft needs near perfect weather conditions, including cross winds of less than 4 knots, or about 7 kilometers an hour, in order to fly. While the team is used to waiting, they are clearly eager to move on. \"Our boss is the sun,\" says Solar Impulse spokeswoman Claudia Durgnat. Durgnat says there may be a tiny window ahead, with the next possible departure from Chongqing on Tuesday. \"It's not good before, and the days after don't look very clear.\" Even with the delay, Durgnat says, the plane technically isn't behind schedule. That's because the team needs to wait until the end of the month for the northern hemisphere days to get longer, before the plane can venture across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii. With more than 17,000 solar cells along the tops of its wings and fuselage, the Solar Impulse 2 stores up energy during the day, in order to power the motors that carry it through the night, typically at speeds no faster than a car on a highway. Inside a specially constructed tent at the end of the runway at Chongqing International Airport, a skeleton team of less than a dozen people works to complete the day's tasks.

Hillary Clinton's online declaration for president means the focus will now shift to the campaign and to what kind of president she might be. And nowhere will the speculation be greater than in the area of foreign policy, certain to be a major issue in the upcoming campaign. Should she win, Clinton will add to her potential \"firsts\": first woman president; the first president who had been a first lady. There's another one, too: the first secretary of state to become president since James Buchanan. Only a handful of the nation's top diplomats have gone to the White House (Thomas Jefferson; James Madison; James Monroe; John Quincy Adams; Martin Van Buren; and Buchanan). And none in the 20th century, a curious fact that suggests politics and statecraft are quite different animals. Too few of our secretaries of state have had the necessary experience of elected office or the desire, ambition and temperament to compete for the top job. Still, on balance, Clinton's tenure at the State Department should be a real advantage during the campaign, particularly when compared with the absence of foreign policy experience among her prospective Republican rivals. But this will be no cake walk for her on the foreign policy side. Clinton will have to negotiate and traverse several tricky and rocky paths to ensure that her State Department career remains an advantage and doesn't turn into a liability. Here's why: . The last president to serve in a top job in the administration of his immediate predecessor was George H.W. Bush. Circumstances were different then. Far from wanting to distance himself from Reagan, Bush 41 saw merit in reinforcing the association with a president who dominated his day in a way few chief executives have. Clinton will face a harder balancing act: how to stand by the policies that she helped craft in Obama's first term and still separate herself from an administration her opponents will blast as weak, vacillating and fairly or not, responsible for a world that is seen to be much worse, especially in the Middle East and with Russia, than when President Obama took office. In the process, she'll have to define her own approach to the world. Indeed, given the President's vulnerabilities on foreign policy, she can't afford to be seen as Obama's third term. In her memoir \"Hard Choices,\" she's already laid the foundation for distancing herself from Obama on issues such as doing more for the Syrian opposition and being tougher on Russia's Vladimir Putin. And she can legitimately work to sharpen those differences without seeming to walk away from policies she supported and leaving herself open to charges that she has no principles, only politically expedient tactics. Too much loyalty to a president who is unpopular among independents will hurt her. But so will flip-flopping. Nowhere will her challenges be greater than on Iran.

Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin told CNN that \"so far no videos were used in the crash investigation.\" He added, \"A person who has such a video needs to immediately give it to the investigators.\" Robin's comments follow claims by two magazines, German daily Bild and French Paris Match, of a cell phone video showing the harrowing final seconds from on board Germanwings Flight 9525 as it crashed into the French Alps. All 150 on board were killed. Paris Match and Bild reported that the video was recovered from a phone at the wreckage site. The two publications described the supposed video, but did not post it on their websites. The publications said that they watched the video, which was found by a source close to the investigation. \"One can hear cries of 'My God' in several languages,\" Paris Match reported. \"Metallic banging can also be heard more than three times, perhaps of the pilot trying to open the cockpit door with a heavy object. Towards the end, after a heavy shake, stronger than the others, the screaming intensifies. Then nothing.\" \"It is a very disturbing scene,\" said Julian Reichelt, editor-in-chief of Bild online. An official with France's accident investigation agency, the BEA, said the agency is not aware of any such video. Lt. Col. Jean-Marc Menichini, a French Gendarmerie spokesman in charge of communications on rescue efforts around the Germanwings crash site, told CNN that the reports were \"completely wrong\" and \"unwarranted.\" Cell phones have been collected at the site, he said, but that they \"hadn't been exploited yet.\" Menichini said he believed the cell phones would need to be sent to the Criminal Research Institute in Rosny sous-Bois, near Paris, in order to be analyzed by specialized technicians working hand-in-hand with investigators. But none of the cell phones found so far have been sent to the institute, Menichini said. Asked whether staff involved in the search could have leaked a memory card to the media, Menichini answered with a categorical \"no.\" Reichelt told \"Erin Burnett: Outfront\" that he had watched the video and stood by the report, saying Bild and Paris Match are \"very confident\" that the clip is real. He noted that investigators only revealed they'd recovered cell phones from the crash site after Bild and Paris Match published their reports. \"That is something we did not know before. ...

+{"article": "Baghdad, Iraq (CNN)Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, a former top deputy to Saddam Hussein and more recently a key figure in Sunni extremist groups battling the Iraqi government, has been killed in a security operation in that country, Iraqi state-run television reported Friday. Al-Douri was the highest-ranking member of Hussein's regime to evade capture -- the \"King of Clubs\" in a deck of playing cards used by American troops to identify the most-wanted regime officials. He also was a man thought to have led the post-Hussein Sunni extremist group Naqshbandi Army. Military analysis website Globalsecurity.org says the Naqshbandi Army supports ISIS, which has taken over parts of Iraq and Syria. Al-Douri was killed in an operation by Iraqi security forces and Shia militia members in the Hamrin Mountains between Tikrit and Kirkuk, Iraq, Shia militia commander Hadi al-Ameri said. That militia is a predominantly Shiite fighting group that worked with Iraqi troops earlier this month to liberate the Iraqi city of Tikrit from ISIS. The death of al-Douri was also reported by the governor of Salahuddin province, Raid al-Jubouri, who spoke by phone on Iraqi television. Al-Douri's body arrived Friday in Baghdad, where DNA samples were taken to confirm the identity, said the spokesman of another Shiite militia called Hashd Shaabi in an interview with state-run Iraqiya TV. DNA test results could be available in 48 hours, Hashd Shaabi spokesman Yousuf al-Kilabi told the outlet. The U.S. military is aware of the media reports but doesn't have further information to evaluate them, said Col. Patrick Ryder, spokesman for U.S. Central Command. While officials are aware of al-Douri's role in the Hussein regime, Ryder declined to comment about whether the United States or the coalition was targeting any specific individuals. Al-Douri was a military commander and vice chairman of the country's revolutionary command council in Hussein's Sunni-dominated regime -- effectively Hussein's No. 2 man. Hussein's regime fell during a U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The U.S. military had said that after the Iraqi leader's fall, al-Douri helped finance a Sunni insurgency with money he transferred to Syria before the government collapsed. A month before the invasion, al-Douri presided over a military parade in Mosul, an event covered by CNN, and his participation became one of the last times he was seen in public, covered by CNN. Al-Douri saluted troops from the reviewing stand as they marched by. Then, just days before the U.S. invasion, al-Douri addressed an emergency summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference to discuss ultimately unsuccessful ways to avert the war. Al-Douri accused the United States of aggression and blamed Kuwait for his country's suffering, calling leaders of the neighboring Gulf state \"traitors\" for cooperating with the United States and Israel. That comment prompted the Kuwaiti representative to stand up and protest, to which al-Douri countered, \"Shut up, sit down you small agent [of the U.S.], you monkey!\" Kuwaiti television cut away from the heated exchange and rejoined the conference later.

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.

But while the story is in itself tragic, it is the individual lives at the heart of the camp that make the imperative for humanitarian action so compelling. I encountered two such individuals on my mission to Damascus -- Jihad and Mohammad -- tiny, vulnerable infants who were taken from Yarmouk in recent days, a place that was described last week by the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as \"the deepest circle of hell.\" The fact that they are alive truly make them miracle children. Looking into those bright young faces, touching their pristine hands, the logic of our humanitarian mandate -- the mission to protect -- never felt stronger to me. Like the wider Syrian conflict, Yarmouk has a human face; the faces of young Mohammad and young Jihad. I want to introduce you to them in the hope that you, too, will understand why I am firmly convinced that turning away is not an option -- and why the international community must act in a concerted manner to respond to the many tragedies in Syria. Jihad Ya'qoub, the youngest Palestinian refugee to flee Yarmouk, was born on March 30. His mother, Said Fatima, never imagined bringing a child into this world could be so tough. \"I was hoping to drink milk and eat eggs during my pregnancy, but our financial situation did allow us to buy these expensive food items,\" she said. Said Fatima was living in a community where the average person survived on just 400 calories a day. Mohammad was born in Yarmouk on January 25 of this year. When ISIS -- Islamic State of Iraq and Syria -- entered the camp and tensions heightened, his mother, Nadia, fled in search of safety. Her only thoughts were to save the life of her newborn son. Yet she has not lost hope in the possibility of a dignified future. She hopes that if and when life returns to normal, she will be able to live once more with her husband and son in the family home in Yarmouk. These tales of courage and human dignity are a lesson for us all. When I next brief the Security Council, as I did a few days ago, I will tell them about Jihad and Mohammad. I will continue to press the case for humanitarian access to other children like them inside Yarmouk, other civilians who need help where they are. To do this, hostilities will have to subside. Pressure must be exerted on armed actors in Yarmouk to this end. Beyond that, those civilians wishing to temporarily leave must be allowed to do so safely. These things are all possible.

Varvara, which is Russian for \"Barbara,\" left her primary feeding ground off Russia's Sakhalin Island to cross the Pacific Ocean and down the West Coast of the United States to Baja, Mexico. Varvara's journey surpassed a record listed on the Guinness Worlds Records website. It said the previous record was set by a humpback whale that swam a mere 10,190-mile round trip between the \"warm breeding waters near the equator and the colder food-rich waters of the Arctic and Antarctic regions.\" Records are nice, but Bruce Mate, the lead author of the study, thinks the long trip might say more about the whale than just its ability to swim. During her 14,000-mile journey, Varvara visited \"three major breeding areas for eastern gray whales,\" which was a surprise to Mate, who is also the director of the Marine Mammal Institute at Oregon State University. \"For her to go to Mexico,\" Mate said, \"It's pretty strong evidence that it's where she's from.\" Varvara was thought to be an endangered western whale, but her ability to \"navigate across open water over tremendously long distances is impressive,\" he said in the release, which could mean that some western gray whales are actually eastern grays.

Canavero can't just do this in his own Frankenstein lab. He needs a major academic medical center to host this endeavor and he has his eyes set on the United States. He hopes to get a buy-in this summer when he presents his plan to the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopedic Surgeons, or AANOS, at its annual conference in June. He's counting on getting the green light he needs for the first human whole head transplant to take place in 2017. Nick Rebel, executive director of AANOS, says the group is not endorsing Canavero, it is simply giving him a platform to hear what he has to say. If Canavero doesn't get the support he needs in the United States, he'll look to China and his timeline will slide by a year. Once these pieces are in place, Canavero says he'll put together a staff of 150 nurses and doctors. Many of them, like the patient, are already identified because they've asked to be part of this team. Then they'll need to practice for what is anticipated to be a 36-hour operation. \"I say two years is the time needed for the team to reach perfect synchronization,\" Canavero speculates. But what about the science? Is such an idea even plausible? He says he has research that supports it.

+{"article": "Polk City, Florida (CNN)If you drove by it, you wouldn't even know it's there. The Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation sits on 200 acres of land in rural central Florida, halfway between Orlando and Sarasota, off a nondescript country road. An armed security guard greets you at the entrance. After a short drive down a gravel road, you get the sense this is a special place. \"You can walk around and you don't hear anything,\" said Kenneth Feld, who opened the center in 1995. \"These elephants, they have these large feet and they travel silently through the fields. I think it's very peaceful.\" Twenty-nine elephants currently live here, and 13 more will join the group by 2018, after Ringling Bros. decided this year to stop using elephants in its traveling circus. \"This was a decision that our family had discussed for quite some time,\" said Feld, chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment, the company that owns Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. The change comes after years of repeated criticism and lawsuits by animal rights groups. The ultimate decision to phase out the elephants, Feld said, is the result of the different laws regulating the use of the animals in each of the 115 cities the circus visits every year. \"You can't operate any business, much less with animals, if you don't have consistency from city to city,\" Feld said. \"It's a definite expense to be in litigation and to be fighting legislation, and there is a saying and it's been around for a long time: 'You can't fight city hall.' And we found that to be the case in this situation.\" The circus business has been a part of the Feld family since 1967, when Irvin Feld purchased Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. When Irvin died in 1984, his son, Kenneth, took over. \"This is a whole family affair,\" he said. \"It's a family affair for our family but also for all the elephants.\" When the center opened 20 years ago, it housed fewer than 10 elephants. \"It was a place for elephants to retire,\" Feld said. Today, the center houses elephants of all ages. \"We have lots of different elephants, meaning males and females, youth elephants, older elephants, so it is a great place to study behavior,\" he said. The center is also focused on breeding the animals. Wendy Kiso, a research and conservation scientist, spends her days at an onsite lab, trying to figure out how to keep the species from going extinct. Part of her lab includes several tanks that \"cryo-preserve\" elephant sperm at negative-196 degrees. \"We process the semen and we extend it in such a way that we can freeze it,\" Kiso said. \"This is a genetic resource bank for Asian elephants.\" Twenty-six elephants have been born here, Feld said. Mike, the newest pachyderm to join the group, was born at the center's birthing barn nearly two years ago. \"We have the largest and only sustainable herd of Asian elephants in the Western Hemisphere,\" Feld said. Caring for the elephants is no small task.", "summary": "29 elephants currently live at the circus sanctuary, and 13 more will join by 2018 .

Speaking to CNN from his Miami training base ahead of the April 25 showdown with American challenger Bryant Jennings in New York, Klitschko said the crisis in his homeland has left him shocked and upset. \"My country is unfortunately suffering in the war with Russia -- not that Ukraine tried to give any aggression to any other nation, in this particular case Russia, unfortunately it's the other way around,\" Klitschko told CNN. \"I never thought that our brother folk is going to have war with us, so that Ukrainians and Russians are going to be divided with blood,\" he added. \"Unfortunately, we don't know how far it's going to go and how worse it's going to get. The aggression, in the military presence of (Russian) soldiers and military equipment in my country, Ukraine, is upsetting.\" Klitschko is the reigning IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO champion and has, alongside older brother Vitali, dominated the heavyweight division in the 21st century. Vitali, who retired from boxing in 2013, is a prominent figure in Ukrainian politics. The 43-year-old has led the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform since 2010 and was elected mayor of Kiev in May last year. Tensions in the former Soviet state remain high despite a ceasefire agreed in February as Europe, led by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President of France Francois Hollande, tries to broker a peace deal between the two sides. The crisis in Ukraine began in November 2013 when former President Victor Yanukovych scuttled a trade deal with the European Union in favor of forging closer economic ties with Russia. The move triggered a wave of anti-government protests which came to a head Kiev's Maidan Square in February 2014 when clashes between protesters and government security forces left around 100 dead. The following month, Russian troops entered Ukraine's Crimean peninsula before Russian President Vladimir Putin completed the annexation of Crimea -- a move denounced by most of the world as illegitimate -- after citizens of the region had voted in favor of leaving Ukraine in a referendum. More than 5,000 people have been killed in the conflict to date. \"People are dying in Ukraine every single day,\" Klitschko said. \"I do not want to see it, nobody wants to see it ... it's hard to believe these days something like that in Europe -- and Ukraine is Europe -- can happen.\" But with the backing of the international community, Klitschko is confident Ukraine can forge a democratic future rather than slide back towards a Soviet-era style dictatorship. \"I really wish and want this conflict to be solved and it can only be solved with Western help,\" he said. \"Ukraine is looking forward to becoming a democratic country and live under Western democracy. This is our decision and this is our will to get what we want. \"If somebody wants to try to put (us) back to the Soviet times and", "summary": "Reigning world heavyweight champion discusses Ukraine crisis .

+{"article": "(CNN)A New York jury deliberating the fate of the man charged with the 1979 killing of 6-year-old Etan Patz is struggling to reach a verdict. The little boy's disappearance, more than three decades ago, sparked an era of heightened awareness of crimes against children. Deliberations resumed on Thursday, one day after New York Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley ordered the jury to continue efforts to reach a decision on the guilt or innocence of a bodega worker named Pedro Hernandez. On the 10th day of deliberations, the jurors on Wednesday said in a note that they were unable to reach a unanimous decision. Hernandez confessed to police three years ago, but his lawyers said he made up his account of the crime. Etan Patz's parents have waited more than 35 years for justice, but some have questioned whether that is even possible in Hernandez's case. His lawyer has said that he is mentally challenged, severely mentally ill and unable to tell whether he committed the crime or not. Hernandez told police in a taped statement that he lured Patz into a basement as the boy was on his way to a bus stop in Lower Manhattan. He said he killed the boy and threw his body away in a plastic bag. Neither the child nor his remains have ever been recovered. But Hernandez has been repeatedly diagnosed with schizophrenia and has an \"IQ in the borderline-to-mild mental retardation range,\" his attorney Harvey Fishbein has said. Police interrogated Hernandez for 7\u00bd hours before he confessed. \"I think anyone who sees these confessions will understand that when the police were finished, Mr. Hernandez believed he had killed Etan Patz. But that doesn't mean he actually did, and that's the whole point of this case,\" Fishbein has said. But in November, a New York judge ruled that Hernandez's confession and his waiving of his Miranda rights were legal, making the confession admissible in court. Hernandez is charged with two counts of second-degree murder for allegedly intending to cause the boy's death and for a killing that occurred during a kidnapping. Another man's name has also hung over the Patz case for years -- Jose Antonio Ramos, a convicted child molester acquainted with Etan's babysitter. Etan's parents, Stan and Julia Patz, sued Ramos in 2001. The boy was officially declared dead as part of that lawsuit. A judge found Ramos responsible for the boy's death and ordered him to pay the family $2 million -- money the Patz family has never received. Though Ramos was at the center of investigations for years, he has never been charged. He served a 20-year prison sentence in Pennsylvania for molesting another boy and was set to be released in 2012. He was immediately rearrested upon leaving jail in 2012 on charges of failing to register as a sex offender, The Associated Press reported.

+{"article": "Beijing (CNN)Amid tight security, a Chinese court has convicted veteran journalist Gao Yu for revealing state secrets and sentenced her to seven years in prison. Gao, 71, immediately said she would appeal, her lawyer Mo Shaoping told CNN Friday. After a closed trial last November, the No. 3 Intermediate People's Court in Beijing had twice delayed handing down a verdict, giving Gao's supporters some hope that the authorities' apparent hesitation may lead to her acquittal and release. \"Today's conviction is mainly based on a forced confession that she had since retracted,\" Mo said. \"This is a totally wrong judgment that doesn't respect the facts or the evidence.\" The government had accused Gao of disclosing a highly confidential \"Document No. 9\" issued by the ruling Communist Party leadership in 2013 to an overseas Chinese-language news organization, according to her lawyer. The document revealed the Party's ideological battle plan to counter advocates of constitutional democracy, banning public discussions on topics ranging from press freedom, civil rights to judicial independence. \"There is no defense against state secret charges in China, anything the Party or the government want to label as state secrets will be labeled and treated as such -- they can even do it retroactively,\" said Nicholas Bequelin, the Hong Kong-based East Asia director of Amnesty International. \"Her sentencing is in line with the very stern approach President Xi Jinping's team has taken on dissent, information control and challenges to the Party,\" he added. Beijing police detained Gao in late April of last year -- ahead of the sensitive 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown -- and state broadcaster CCTV soon aired her \"confession\" on national television. Expressing \"deep remorse\" in the video, Gao told interrogators she \"deeply regretted that her behavior had harmed national interests and violated the law.\" Mo, her lawyer, said the authorities had extracted the confession by threatening her son's safety and released the police video to CCTV without her knowledge. He added the alleged recipient of the leaked document even publicly denied that Gao was his source. An outspoken journalist and press freedom advocate, Gao began her career as a reporter for the state-run China News Service in 1979 and, in recent years, had been writing columns for overseas Chinese-language publications. She was arrested after the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 and released more than a year later. She was imprisoned for another six years for leaking state secrets in 1993 -- though the government has never disclosed details of that case. Since Xi took power over two years ago, his government has jailed hundreds of activists across China despite rising international concern. \"We are in the midst of one of the most severe crackdowns on human rights activists,\" said Bequelin of Amnesty International. \"What the state used to tolerate, it doesn't tolerate anymore.\"", "summary": "Accused of leaking a document revealing Party's ideological battle plan to counter advocates of constitutional democracy .

The ship, the Mu Du Bong, was detained after it ran aground off the coast of Mexico in July. Mexico defended the move Wednesday, saying it followed proper protocol because the company that owns the ship, North Korea's Ocean Maritime Management company, has skirted United Nations sanctions. \"Because the company has avoided the sanctions imposed by the U.N. Security Council, the Mexican government is acting on the basis of its international obligations as a responsible U.N. member state,\" the Permanent Mission of Mexico to the United Nations said.

But An Myong Hun, North Korea's deputy ambassador to the United Nations, said there was no reason to hold the Mu Du Bong and accused Mexico of violating the crew members' human rights by keeping them from their families. \"Mu Du Bong is a peaceful, merchant ship and it has not shipped any items prohibited by international laws or regulations,\" An told reporters at the United Nations headquarters Wednesday. \"And we have already paid full compensation to Mexican authorities according to its domestic laws.\" According to Mexico's U.N. mission, the 33 North Korean nationals who make up the vessel's crew are free, staying at a hotel in the port city of Tuxpan and regularly visiting the ship to check on it. They will soon be sent back to North Korea with help from the country's embassy, Mexican authorities said.

The woman, a licensed trainer, was also charged with obstructing police. Michael Beatty, spokesman for RSPCA Queensland, told ABC that inquiries were continuing. The animal rights organization is assisting Queensland police in their investigation. \"A lot of people in the area who were involved in the greyhound industry were questioned, and it was as a result of information given to us that the joint Queensland Police Service and RSPCA investigation team made those arrests,\" he said.

She promised a zero tolerance approach to animal abuse. \"The people who have perpetrated this crime, to me, are oxygen thieves, they are cowards and they are pathetic.\" Detective Superintendent Mark Ainsworth said the crime scene was \"nothing short of abhorrent.\" \"Some of the greyhounds were in different states of decay and that would sort of indicate to us that they've been dumped there over varying periods of time,\" he said. \"The postmortem will reveal the cause of death of these dogs.

+{"article": "(CNN)In a sobering example of life imitating art, the chaos sweeping the streets of Baltimore may have been partly inspired by a series of action-horror movies. Baltimore police said rioting at a shopping mall and elsewhere Monday afternoon started amid rumors, spread on social media, of a \"purge\" led by large groups of marauding high school students. The term appears to be a reference to 2013's \"The Purge\" and its sequel, last year's \"The Purge: Anarchy,\" about a dystopian future America where on one day each year, all laws are suspended for a 12-hour period and all crimes, including murder, become temporarily legal. In the movies, set in Los Angeles, people barricade themselves in their homes at night while gangs of violent \"purgers\" roam the streets. The government markets the sanctioned mayhem as a catharsis that reduces crime on the other 364 days of the year -- when in fact it's really a means of population control, mostly against people living in poor urban neighborhoods. Both \"Purge\" movies were box-office hits and a third installment, \"The Purge: Vengeance,\" is planned for 2016.

They became criers in the desert against countless young people flinging rocks at police, breaking windows, looting and setting fires.

It overshadowed the message peaceful protesters delivered on prior days -- justice for Gray. The 25-year-old African-American man died from spinal injuries after being arrested earlier this month. The early fits of violence came in the afternoon, about the time mourners left Gray's memorial services blocks away, Rev. Bryant said. They bumped right into it. \"For us to come out of the burial and walk into this is absolutely inexcusable,\" he said. He did not want to see it spread to downtown Baltimore, where some rioters said it would, and organized people to stand in the way. \"We have a line of gentlemen from the Nation of Islam to build a human wall, as well as men from the Christian church making that human wall,\" he said. But as crowds turned into multitudes, the intervention became a drop in the bucket by compare, and police lines were also no match. As officers in riot gear receded, flames engulfed cars and stores and roared out of apartment buildings into the night sky. A senior living facility under construction by a Baptist church burned to the ground. The blazes stretched the fire departments' resources, as at least 30 trucks deployed. Looters streamed into a CVS, bodegas and liquor stores and walked out with what they could carry. A young man in a blue sweatshirt tried to talk people down by himself. He walked up to CNN correspondent Miguel Martinez, as a store nearby was being looted. It later went up in flames. The man, who didn't say his name, was disgusted at what was happening in his neighborhood and disappointed in the police response to rioting. There was a line of police down the street, not far away. \"They could have moved down here to stop it,\" he told Martinez. The Gray family's lawyers, again, put the family's wish out to the public that there be no protests that day, let alone violence. It's marring the cause and hope for change that may have come out of the investigation into Freddie Gray's death, said family attorney Mary Koch. \"That's just disintegrated into just looking at Baltimore city and thinking that the city is the city", "summary": "Gray's family asked there be no protests; they condemned violence .

+{"article": "(CNN)After deliberating for more than 35 hours over parts of seven days, listening intently to the testimony of more than 130 witnesses and reviewing more than 400 pieces of evidence, the teary-eyed men and women of the jury exchanged embraces. Since late January, their work in the Massachusetts murder trial of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez had consumed their lives. It was nothing like \"Law & Order.\" The days were long and tedious. Now it was over. \"It's been an incredibly emotional toll on all of us,\" Lesa Strachan told CNN's Anderson Cooper Thursday in the first nationally televised interview with members of the jury. A day earlier, Strachan, the jury foreperson, announced the first-degree murder conviction in the 2013 shooting death of Hernandez's onetime friend Odin Lloyd. Strachan said she was struck by the viciousness of multiple gunshots. \"You shot him once but you kept going and you shot him six times. There's no need for that and there's no need to use a gun. Period.\" Before the trial, at least one juror -- Rosalie Oliver -- hadn't heard of the 25-year-old defendant who has now gone from a $40 million pro-football contract to a term of life without parole in a maximum-security prison. But Kelly Dorsey watches the Patriots every Sunday during the football season. She said so on her jury questionnaire. \"I knew of him as a football player, not a person,\" she said. It didn't affect her vote to convict, she said. It didn't matter that he was a football player, she said. Nor did it matter whether he actually pulled the trigger in the murder. \"To leave your friend on the ground, knowing that he's not there anymore -- he's either dead or he's going to die -- that's indifference,\" Dorsey said of Hernandez. \"He didn't need to pull the trigger.\" That word -- \"indifference\" -- was used multiple times by members of the jury. Jon Carlson said he was struck by testimony and video evidence that Hernandez and two co-defendants were sunbathing poolside hours after the slaying, drinking smoothies. Hernandez at times left his then-8-month-old daughter with the two men. That indifference \"surprised a lot of us,\" Carlson said. He stressed the fact that Hernandez played football for a living didn't influence the jury's decision. \"It doesn't matter how much money you have or how much money you make. We're all people, and we're all equal, and we all deserve the same fair trial, and that's what we wanted to make sure we gave him,\" Carlson said. Lloyd was seen June 17, 2013, around 2:30 a.m. with Hernandez and Hernandez's friends, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, in a rented silver Nissan Altima. Later that day, a jogger found his body. He had been shot six times, according to prosecutors. Wallace and Ortiz, who were also charged with murder, have pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately. What's next for Aaron Hernandez?

Officer Michael Rapiejko was with the New York Police Department from 2003 to 2006. Two years after he left, he was one of the defendants in a suit filed by a man who alleged that Rapiejko pointed a gun and threatened to shoot him and handcuffed and choked him in front of his family during a 2005 arrest. The lawsuit said Luis Colon had parked his car and gotten out when Rapiejko, with his gun aimed at Colon, ordered him back into the car. During his arrest on charges of obstructing governmental administration, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, Colon alleged he was yanked from the car, handcuffed and choked. The charges against Colon were dropped six months later. Colon also sued two unnamed officers who arrived after the initial confrontation, court documents show. Colon and the city settled the suit for $20,000. The settlement said the defendants were not admitting to any wrongdoing . Rapiejko had resigned voluntarily in 2006, and there is no indication of any disciplinary action against him from the NYPD, a senior law enforcement official told CNN. The NYPD has said that it will not release further details about Rapiejko. Rapiejko's actions in Marana, Arizona, in which he drove his patrol car into a man who had fired a rifle in the air minutes earlier and before that had pointed the gun at another officer, have stirred debate about what type of force police should have used. Authorities said no charges have been brought against the officer for the February incident. The suspect, 36-year-old Mario Valencia, survived and was hospitalized before being criminally charged. Marana police Chief Terry Rozema was asked Wednesday on CNN's \"New Day\" whether police were fortunate that Valencia didn't die. \"That very well may be ... that it's luck that he is still alive. The fact of the matter remains, though, deadly force was authorized,\" Rozema said. \"So if he ends up dying in that situation, (then) he ends up dying, and that's unfortunate, (but) that's not the desire of everybody,\" the chief added. In one of the dashcam videos, an officer who was tailing a walking Valencia at slow speed reports over the radio that the suspect has fired one round in the air with a rifle he is accused of stealing that morning from a nearby Walmart. Another patrol car zooms past, runs into the man from behind, then hits a short cinder block wall next to a driveway. Video from Rapiejko's camera shows the officer's vehicle running into Valencia, with the windshield smashing as the car hits the wall. Police in Marana justified Rapiejko's actions. \"We don't know that if (Rapiejko) lets him go for another 10 seconds, (Valencia) doesn't take somebody out in the parking lot,\" Rozema said. \"And then we're answering some completely different questions: 'Why didn't you act sooner? ...

He has been subject to American law his whole life and thinks he should be a citizen. The Constitution would agree. The Fourteenth Amendment declares that \"All persons born ... in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.\" Yet, Afalava has been denied the right to vote because the federal government insists that he is no citizen. How can it be, in the 21st century, that Americans born on U.S. soil are denied the rights of citizenship? That injustice clouds the recent celebration of the 115th anniversary of the decision of American Samoa to join the United States. It is a wrong that Afalava and other American Samoans are now seeking to right in a federal lawsuit before the D.C. Circuit. A decision could come any day. Since the United States was established, it adhered to the rule that those born on U.S. lands were U.S. citizens. The rule is colorblind, yet the only exception that the Supreme Court has ever declared was not. The infamous Dred Scott case legitimized slavery as it declared that free African-Americans had \"no rights that the white man was bound to respect.\" Though they were Americans, they were not citizens under the Constitution. A Civil War later, the 14th Amendment reversed the ruling in the Dred Scott case. Today, the Dred Scott case has come to be regarded as one of the worst decisions in the history of the Supreme Court. But racial discrimination didn't end there. In 1904, a Puerto Rican woman named Isabel Gonzalez sailed for New York. Because Puerto Rico was U.S. territory, she believed herself to be a U.S. citizen. But officials at Ellis Island labeled her an undesirable alien and prevented her from entering the mainland. She sued, with some reason to hope for a favorable ruling. Yet the Supreme Court that eventually heard Gonzalez's case was still racist. In preceding years, for example, it had permitted a flat ban on naturalizing anyone of the Chinese race. And, in a case addressing the status of recently acquired island territories such as Puerto Rico, the justices had cited the alleged racial inferiority of tropical peoples as reason to treat these lands as second-class U.S. territories. Justice Edward Douglas White's opinion stated that U.S. sovereignty extended over them, but that their residents did not hold the same constitutional rights as other Americans. He did so, he privately revealed, because \"he was much preoccupied by the danger of racial and social questions.\" In the Gonzalez case, the justices agreed unanimously that Puerto Ricans were not aliens and thus not subject to immigration laws. But they declined to decide whether or not Gonzalez was a citizen. Though preoccupied by fears that islanders were \"savages\" and racially unfit for citizenship, they were unwilling to violate the Constitution. As a result of the court ruling, federal officials were able to deny Gonzalez and others the full panoply of rights", "summary": "Emy Afalava is a loyal American and decorated veteran; he's also an American Samoan .

+{"article": "(CNN)As Americans mark the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's death this week, let us remember that he not only belongs to the ages, but also belongs, in a special way, to Illinois. Lincoln's two greatest legacies -- indivisible union and irreversible emancipation -- grew organically from his Midwestern roots. He knew firsthand that no defensible border shielded the land of corn from the land of cotton. The entire region from the Appalachians to the Rockies drained through the Mississippi River, enabling farmers in this vast basin to float their goods down to market through New Orleans and from there to the world. He thus could never allow a potentially hostile power to control this geostrategic chokepoint in particular, or Dixie more generally. The U.S. landmass, he insisted, \"is well adapted to be the home of one national family; and it is not well adapted for two, or more\" because \"there is no line, straight or crooked, suitable for a national boundary upon which to divide.\" Lincoln supplemented his Midwestern geography lesson with a distinctly Midwestern claim about constitutional history: \"The Union is older than any of the States; and in fact, it created them as States.\" Lincoln did not need to make this controversial claim to prove his case, and elsewhere he stressed the decisive legal point that the Constitution's text clearly prohibits unilateral secession. The Constitution is always and everywhere the supreme law of the land -- no matter what an individual state says. But Lincoln's additional assertion that the Union created the states, not vice versa, provoked strong disagreement in other parts of the country. Most Virginians, including Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, insisted that of course Virginia had come first! At the outbreak of the American Revolution, the Old Dominion was already a century and a half old. Generations of Lees had helped govern Virginia long before the United States was born. But if Lee was, first and always, a Virginian, Lincoln was an American. His father came from Virginia, his grandfather hailed from Pennsylvania, and before that, the family had probably lived in New England. Abe himself had been born in Kentucky and had moved as a boy to Indiana, and later, as a young man, to Illinois. These latter two Midwestern states had undeniably been formed by the Union itself. These places had begun as federal territory -- the common inheritance of all Americans -- and it was the federal government that had indeed brought these new states to life. When young Abe moved to Indiana, it was just becoming a state, thanks to federal governmental action.

+{"article": "(CNN)As we approach April 27 when South Africa marks the anniversary of the first post-apartheid elections held that day in 1994, we are faced with yet another wave of deadly attacks against African migrants. Outrage triggered by this violence is being heard loudly throughout social media with \"#WeAreAfrica\" showcasing the need for a common front against this affront. These recurring attacks against migrants and their property might be read as one more indication of how the rainbow nation's dream has faltered. That vision not only symbolized a multi-ethnic South Africa, but one where living in dignity is shared across racial and class lines. Attacks against newcomers in South Africa are often reduced to attitudes of hate and resentment towards other black Africans. The national and international headlines use \"xenophobia\" as if any one word can convey the multifaceted crisis within which this phenomenon occurs. Labeling this turmoil as xenophobic fails to convey the conditions in which African migrants are scapegoated for the persistent legacy of apartheid in the post-liberation era. This word also does not tell us that extreme poverty now exceeds that experienced under apartheid. And it certainly does not account for how extreme inequality is now fully embraced and normalized by a new black elite joining the \"white-haves\" of yesteryear. The question of why foreign blacks are targeted and not foreign whites is also repeated ad nauseam, as if the majority of black citizens and African migrants share any common spaces and experiences with white South Africans or white foreigners. Contact between the majority of African migrant groups and native black South Africans mostly occurs in under-developed informal settlements and townships. In the interaction and competition between these groups in these spaces, we need to be wary of the simplistic treatment of South Africa's ailment as xenophobia. Such labeling does not and cannot explain the totality of the contact, competition and conflict between native poor black South Africans and foreign African entrepreneurs. Attention as to how such interactions occur in an environment where a vast portion of South Africa's black majority experiences segregation, persistent and relative poverty, and high crime rates in post-apartheid South Africa is paramount. Neglecting access to social rights, such as water, electricity, education and other services, is tantamount to violence by political leaders against the poor. Condemning and prosecuting those who incite violence is essential to maintaining law and order and protecting those vulnerable because of their nationality. But the evictions, harassment and ultimately brutal killings of foreigners cannot and should not be separated from the daily brutal violence poor South Africans in informal settlements and many townships experience. It cannot and should not be separated from South Africa's status as one of the most unequal societies in the world; it cannot and should not be separated from the fact that South Africa has one of the highest homicide levels in the world.

+{"article": "(CNN)Blue Bell ice cream has temporarily shut down one of its manufacturing plants over the discovery of listeria contamination in a serving of ice cream originating from that plant. Public health officials warned consumers Friday not to eat any Blue Bell-branded products made at the company's Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, plant. That includes 3-ounce servings of Blue Bell ice cream from this plant that went to institutions in containers marked with the letters O, P, Q, R, S or T behind the coding date. The warning by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not affect other Blue Bell ice cream, including other 3-ounce servings, not made at the plant. But Blue Bell has recalled other products. The company is shutting down the Broken Arrow facility \"out of an abundance of caution\" to search for a possible cause of contamination. It is the third time Blue Bell has taken action in light of a listeria outbreak at a Kansas hospital that served the company's ice cream. Listeria monocytogenes was recently found in a cup of ice cream recovered from the hospital. The cup contaminated with the bacteria was produced at the Broken Arrow plant in April 2014, Blue Bell said. And, according to the CDC, listeria bacteria was found in additional samples of the same product that were recovered from the plant. The bacteria in the hospital sample and the factory sample appeared to match each other genetically, the CDC said. But they did not appear identical to listeria samples taken from patients infected in the Kansas outbreak. In a separate outbreak in Texas, the CDC did find that listeria samples taken from patients who came down with listeriosis between 2010 and 2014 in a hospital that served 3-ounce Blue Bell cups matched the listeria in recovered samples. None of this means the ice cream is the source of either spate of the infections. \"Investigation to determine whether these illnesses are related to exposure to Blue Bell products is ongoing,\" the CDC said. In early March, in light of the Kansas listeria outbreak, Blue Bell recalled a group of products made at a plant in Texas. It later added 3-ounce cup servings to the recall. Five people were infected and three died in the past year in Kansas from listeria that might be linked to Blue Bell Creameries products, according to the CDC. All five of them were hospitalized at the same hospital before developing listeriosis, the CDC said. At least four of them had consumed milkshakes made with Blue Bell ice cream before developing the infection. \"We are devastated and know that Blue Bell has to be and can be better than this,\" Paul Kruse, Blue Bell CEO and president, said in a statement. \"Quality and safety have always been our top priorities.

That's what Kankakee County, Illinois, Sheriff Tim Bukowski said Saturday about Kamron Taylor, the 23-year-old convicted murderer turned jail escapee until his arrest overnight in Chicago. Authorities around Illinois had been looking for Taylor since early Wednesday, when he jumped a correctional officer at Kankakee's Jerome Combs Detention Center, then took off with the guard's uniform and SUV. Surveillance video was the last officials saw of Taylor until just before midnight Friday, in Chicago. \"They saw a guy that matched the description,\" Bukowski said. \"And if you're in law enforcement very long, you just get a feeling that something's not right. ... I think that's what happened.\" The suspect ran five city blocks before being tracked down, carrying a loaded handgun. He didn't go easily, refusing to identify himself. But when Chicago police contacted their law enforcement counterparts about 60 miles south in Kankakee County and told them about the tattoo, it became clearer who the man was. As Bukowski said of the Gertrude tattoo, \"It's not a common name to have around your neck.\" Fingerprints later confirmed that Chicago police had indeed caught up with Taylor. While not offering details beyond that no one is thought to have driven him north nor did a tipster call to specify his location, Bukowski did say \"we have some ideas of where he went and how he ended up\" in the Windy City. It wasn't immediately known either when Taylor will return to Kankakee County. But, when he does, the sheriff said the convict will likely face an attempted murder charge for his attack of the jail guard on top of his already extensive criminal history. Murderer overpowers guard, drives off in his SUV . Bukowski said he expects that Taylor will eventually be incarcerated outside Kankakee County, in part because \"you don't want someone to raise\" the idea that guards there might somehow seek retaliation for the attack on one of their own. What the sheriff doesn't want is for Taylor to go free ever again. This is a man, after all, who killed a man in a June 2013 botched robbery, had to be wrestled to the ground by bailiffs after his conviction in late February, then escaped jail after assaulting the guard. \"He's not going to walk down the block again, I don't believe,\" Bukowski said. The assaulted correctional officer remains in an Illinois hospital, where his condition has improved and he's been able to talk to fellow authorities.

Lot and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was new to me. I actually hadn't put two and two together that Sodom is the origin of the word sodomy. (Feel free to call me dense as you read this). Lot is the central character in the grim story of Sodom and Gomorrah's demise in Chapter 19. You are introduced to the city by Abraham who tries to save the town. In the preceding chapter, Abraham asks God to agree that if he can find 10 good people in the town, God won't smite it. God agrees. Lot is visited by divine emissaries to investigate if there are indeed enough good people to save the town. The men of the town come to seek out the new visitors for \"intimacies.\" Ahem. Yeah. Hospitable bunch, huh? Those \"intimacies,\" we are meant to understand, account for Sodom's wickedness. And I guess meant that the town was doomed. (\"Intimacies\" is the term used in my 1991 edition of the New American Bible. The revised edition refers to \"sexual relations.\") To protect the emissaries from the mob, Lot offers up his virginal daughters. Which. Ugh. Anyway, it doesn't work. There apparently aren't enough good men to save Sodom, which leads to God destroying yet another population in Genesis. Oh, and while Lot's chosen family members flee the destruction, Lot's wife turns around and is turned to salt. She had been warned not to look back. After God destroys Sodom, Lot's daughters worry that there aren't any men left, so they get their father good and drunk and have sex with him. They need to have children to keep the human race going, the logic goes, I guess. After reading that section, I put my Bible down. I couldn't read anymore. Then I read it again. What was I reading?

But one Australian lawmaker reportedly described the move as \"dancing with the devil.\" Over the weekend, Bishop became the first Australian government minister to visit Iran in 12 years, meeting with President Hassan Rouhani. The intelligence-sharing deal was announced in an interview released Monday that Bishop gave to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation while in Tehran. \"During my discussions with the national leadership here, it was agreed that we could share intelligence, particularly on the foreign terrorist fighters from Australia who are taking part in this conflict in Iraq,\" she said. The Iranians \"were very agreeable to share that information with us,\" she added. Like many Western nations, Australia is grappling with the problem of citizens who are choosing to travel to Iraq and Syria to join ISIS, which calls itself the Islamic State. Australia is part of the U.S.-led coalition that's carrying out airstrikes against ISIS. During the fight against the Sunni extremist group, the coalition has found its interests aligned at times with those of Iran, a Shiite-majority nation that has strong ties with the Iraqi government. Iran-backed Shiite militias played an important role in the recent battle to take the Iraqi city of Tikrit from ISIS jihadists. \"Iran has a long standing relationship with Iraq, and as you point out, they have a very strong military presence there. They also have an influence over the Shia militia who are operating within Iraq,\" she said. \"So they are in Iraq, in places that we are not. They also have a very sophisticated intelligence network and they have a lot of information that they've been gathering.\" Bishop, who left Tehran on Sunday, declined to give details of the agreement with Iran. \"Obviously, if Iran has information that will be of interest to us, and if we have information that would be of interest to them, in pursuing our common purpose in defeating Daesh, then that's an appropriate exchange,\" she said, using an alternative name for ISIS. But Andrew Wilkie, an independent Australian member of parliament, criticized the plan. \"The announcement by the Foreign Minister that Australia is entering into a security arrangement with the regime in Tehran really should send shudders down the spine of every Australian,\" he said, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. \"When you start dancing with the devil in a place like Tehran, then we run the risk of becoming almost as bad as those who we dance with,\" Wilkie told reporters.", "summary": "Australian foreign minister says deal is to focus on tracking citizens who join ISIS .

Cassandra C., as she is identified in court documents, was ordered into custody of the Connecticut Department of Children and Families by a judge in December. She ran away in an effort to discontinue chemo, claiming she did not want to be treated. Earlier this month, CNN reported that she was in remission, feeling well and her treatment was almost complete. Cassandra was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in September, and doctors gave her an 85% chance of survival if treated but said she would die within two years if left untreated. She started the treatment in November but ran away after two days, according to court documents, when she decided she did not want to put the poison of the treatment into her body. That's when a judge ordered her into custody of the state. Attorneys for the teen and her mom have tried to appeal, but they did not succeed. Cassandra remained in the hospital. In the most recent legal maneuvering, a judge denied a request by Cassandra's attorney to allow her return home on grounds that she was no longer at risk for imminent harm. Now that her treatment is complete, the temporary order of custody ends, Michtom told CNN. Previously he said the hospital was \"effectively a jail\" to his client. \"As we do for every patient we care for at Connecticut Children's, we wish her the best for a happy and healthy future,\" Robert Fraleigh, director of corporate communications for Connecticut Children's Medical Center, said in a statement Monday.

+{"article": "(CNN)The terrorist group Al-Shabaab has claimed an attack on Garissa University College in eastern Kenya, in which many people have been killed and still more taken hostage. The attack is another step in the ongoing escalation of the terrorist group's activities, and a clear indicator that the security situation in East Africa is deteriorating fast. Somalia-based Al-Shabaab has been behind a string of recent attacks in Kenya, the most well-known of them being the massacre at the Westgate Shopping Centre in Nairobi in 2013. Cross-border raids into Kenya by the group, however, date back to 2011. Al-Shabaab incursions triggered a military response by the government in Nairobi, which sent troops to Somalia as part of an African Union mission in support of Somalia's internationally recognized government that had been under pressure from Al-Shabaab and other militants for several years. Al-Shabaab is predominantly driven by the same radical interpretation of the Koran as al-Qaeda and ISIS (also known as Islamic State), but also employs more opportunistic approaches to shoring up local support. Its origins lie in Al-Ittihad al-Islami (Unity of Islam), one of several militant factions that emerged in the wake of the fall of Siad Barre in 1991. These disparate groups fought each other and a U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Somali civil war that led to the complete collapse of the country, from which it has yet to recover almost quarter of a century later. Al-Shabaab (literally \"the Youth\") split from Unity of Islam in 2003 and merged with another radical Islamist group, the so-called Islamic Courts Union. As their alliance obtained control of Somalia's capital Mogadishu in 2006, Ethiopia, the only majority Christian country in the region, took military action against the group. The offensive weakened Al-Shabaab and pushed it back into the rural areas of central and southern Somalia, but it failed to defeat it. To the contrary, Ethiopia's invasion and occupation of parts of Somalia -- although invited by the Somali government and backed by the African Union -- enabled Al-Shabaab to partially re-invent itself as both an Islamist and nationalist force opposing a foreign \"Christian\" invasion. Initially, the group primarily attacked Ethiopian forces, but soon began to \"expand\" its activities against the Somali government as well. The first attack outside Somalia was an attack in the Ugandan capital of Kampala in 2010. Soon after this, cross-border raids in Kenya began, predominantly targeting Christians there. Increasing its links with al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab declared its full allegiance in 2012 -- and it is not clear whether it will switch allegiances to ISIS. Much will depend on how the relationships between al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a long-time ally of Al-Shabaab based in Yemen, and ISIS develop. The key point is that Al-Shabaab's attack in Garissa is part of a broader regional context of instability fueled by a huge number of factors. It must not be interpreted simply as another act of garden-variety fundamentalist terrorism. Clearly, the presence and activities of terrorist groups in the region is a major concern, and it is undoubtedly driven by radical and exclusivist interpretations", "summary": "Terrorist group Al-Shabaab has attacked a Kenyan college, killing and taking hostages .

Dzhokhar \"Jahar\" Tsarnaev's defense team is seeking to spare him from a death sentence for his part two years ago in the Boston Marathon bombings and murder of an MIT police officer. Having focused on his dead older brother, portraying Tamerlan Tsarnav as harsh, overbearing and bent on jihad, they now shift to the younger brother who tagged after him, as one witness said, \"like a puppy.\" The sentencing phase of the federal case will resume Monday. The jury was sent home Thursday because a juror was sick. Tsarnaev was convicted April 8 on all 30 counts, including 17 that carry a possible death penalty. The defense's transition from one brother to the other begins in the ambulances that rushed the brothers from their respective final showdowns with police in Watertown, Massachusetts, on April 19, 2013. Boston bombing survivor: I am not limiting myself . Tamerlan, dying from gunshot wounds and having been run over by the car his brother was driving as he fled, became combative in the ambulance.

It was a \"penetrating wound,\" with the intestines protruding. \"Every time we tried hands-on, he resisted that type of treatment,\" Sullivan said. \"He was yelling, loud, like an 'rrrrrrrr' type of thing.

One of Tamerlan's boxing coaches testified earlier that Jahar followed his brother around \"like a puppy.\" The defense asserts that the Boston Marathon bombings never would have happened if it weren't for Tamerlan. They have portrayed him as obsessed with jihad, spending hours in his computer trolling al Qaeda-style websites. An uncle in Russia told the FBI that Tamerlan came there in 2012, expecting to find \"jihad in the streets.\" Magomed Kartashov was questioned by the FBI after 40 days in a Russian jail. The FBI summary report of the interview was read in court. Kartashov said his nephew asked him if he had contacts with people \"in the forest,\" as locals referred to the jihadists.

L'Hermione, with three sail masts and bright royal blue and gold markings, is a painstaking replica of an 18th century French frigate that fought with the United States' founding fathers in the War of Independence. It set sail in France on Saturday for Virginia to retrace a journey through American history. In 1780, the original Hermione was assigned to a French nobleman, who fought as a general in George Washington's army against the British. His name: Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. Lafayette carried prized cargo -- news from King Louis XVI that France was throwing men, guns and treasure behind the Colonies, according to a historical summary on L'Hermione's website. Lafayette, who had been wounded in the Revolutionary War had gone back to his homeland to lobby on behalf of Washington, who was also one of his close friends. Lafayette rejoined the fight on the front lines in Virginia, while L'Hermione did sea battle with its 32 guns against the English farther north. Its coppered bottom was an innovation that made it cut faster through the waters. In Chesapeake Bay, it joined the blockade that led the British to surrender. After the war, Lafayette returned to live in France. More than 200 years later, in 1997, a group of people came up with the idea of reconstructing the frigate using the same building methods applied in the original. They claim the replica is the \"most authentically built Tall Ship in the last 150 years.\" After a year of testing, it set sail Saturday to retrace Lafayette's journey, 235 years after the original, and France gave it a sendoff with the trappings of an act of state. \"L'Hermione is a luminous episode of our history. She is a champion of universal values, freedom, courage and of the friendship between France and the United States,\" French President Francois Hollande said in a speech. President Obama, in a letter to congratulate the launch, called France \"our Nation's oldest ally.\" \"For more than two centuries, the United States and France have stood united in the freedom we owe to one another,\" he wrote. L'Hermione will ply across the Atlantic for 27 days en route to Yorktown, Virginia, where it plans to arrive in early June. After that, it will show itself off in 12 ports along the East Coast. It should be in New York City for the Fourth of July, possibly sharing Independence Day fireworks with the Statue of Liberty.

Baxter had come under fire from some community leaders for giving prison sentences to eight teachers and administrators who stood trial and were convicted of racketeering. They'd been accused of taking part in an effort to raise tests scores at struggling schools by erasing wrong answers and putting in correct answers. Outside of court, Benjamin Davis, the lawyer for Cotman, questioned the judge's rationale in handing down heavy sentences a few weeks ago. \"I had never seen a judge conduct himself in that way,\" he said. \"What was going on with Judge Baxter?\" Davis-Williams said she was pleased judge Baxter changed his mind. Her attorney, Teresa Mann, added, \"We are happy. We are elated that judge Baxter took the opportunity to reflect.\" Cotman, Davis-Williams and Pitts, all school reform team executive directors, got the harshest sentences during an April 14 hearing: Seven years in prison, 13 years of probation and $25,000 fines. Baxter said of his change of mind: \"I'm going to put myself out to pasture in the not-too-distant future and I want to be out in the pasture without any regrets.\" During the earlier sentencing hearing, Baxter was frustrated when defendants didn't admit their guilt. \"Everybody knew cheating was going on and your client promoted it,\" Baxter said to an attorney representing Davis-Williams. At one point he said, \"These stories are incredible. These kids can't read.\" At a press conference held April 17, most of the convicted educators insisted they were innocent. \"I didn't cheat. I'm not a racketeer,\" said Diane Buckner-Webb, a former elementary teacher. All defendants sentenced to prison have appealed and are out on bond. The lower prison sentences given to other defendants -- ranging from one to two years -- have not been reduced. Prosecutors said the cheating is believed to date back to 2001, when scores on statewide aptitude tests improved greatly, according to a 2013 indictment. The indictment also states that for at least four years, between 2005 and 2009, test answers were altered, fabricated or falsely certified. Michael Bowers, a former Georgia attorney general who investigated the cheating scandal, said in 2013 that there were \"cheating parties,\" erasures in and out of classrooms, and teachers were told to make changes to student answers on tests.

Last weekend, as Baltimore reacted to the death of Freddie Gray, the young man who died last week from a spinal cord injury he suffered while in police custody, Major League Baseball had a problem on its hands. Saturday's game between the Orioles and Red Sox had gone into extra innings in Camden Yards, with plenty of fans for both teams glued to their seats. Boston fans feel at home in Oriole Park -- a so-called retro urban park built to embrace the luxuries of modern stadiums while maintaining that nostalgic feel -- because much of it was based on Boston's Fenway Park. The Boston faithful are used to being in the heart of a city to watch sports. But when the Orioles finally pulled out a win in the 10th inning, 36,000 fans remained in their seats. They had been asked to do so by Baltimore officials due to \"ongoing public safety issues.\" The riots of Baltimore, the peaceful marches of Baltimore, the fury and unrest of Baltimore did not seem to have had much to do with baseball. But as the always-wise Atlantic magazine writer (and Baltimore native) Ta-Nehisi Coates' take on the situation quickly went viral, it became clear that the Oriole's home stand presented a problem. Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox: postponed less than an hour before the first pitch. Tuesday's game against the White Sox: also postponed. Such action by MLB is not without precedent. In 1967 in Detroit, the 12th Street riots forced the Tigers to postpone one game and relocate others (to Baltimore, no less). After the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., MLB postponed opening day games out of fear of mob violence. In the wake of the 1992 verdict in the Rodney King beating, the Los Angeles Dodgers postponed several games.

He \"didn't really think anyone would fund it or even be interested in it\" -- he raised $1,255 in 6 days. \"It was a little surprising,\" Gordon demurs. Writing out his shopping list, it was important that \"everywhere, even places without armor plating, had some sort of protection.\" Kevlar was sourced as the base fabric, making it \"cut and slash resistant to bladed weapons, but breathable and wearable all day.\" Eschewing conventional materials, Gordon opted for a form of memory foam, built around key areas to \"squish and compress,\" dissipating the impact of blows. After much experimenting with \"polycarbonates and extruded PVC materials,\" \u00bc\" Kydex (or ABS) plastic formed the tough armor plates, located on the torso, forearms and shins. Stab resistant, Gordon says \"it can take anything but a gunshot.\" The cowl was more problematic, being \"nearly impossible\" to craft out of the same materials within the limits of his workshop. Gordon therefore took a mold of his head using Sintra plastic, \"working on top of that with different sculpting clays and soft plastics to get it into a recognizable Batman shape.\" Using a two part box mold Gordon was able to create a \"silicone jacket\" of this, into which liquid polyurethane was poured, forming the final, \"durable and functional\" cowl.

Following a series of incidents in 2004 where wildlife had been lost, Sabuhoro volunteered to infiltrate poachers on their own turf by disguising as a potential buyer for a baby gorilla. The mission was successful and the culprits were put to prison. \"I felt so bad that I had put these people in jail -- but I felt so good that I saved a baby gorilla,\" recalls Sabuhoro, whose next move was to visit the jailed poachers, as well as their families, to apologize for tricking them and find the reasons behind their actions. What he heard was stories of starvation and desperation. Poaching, he found, was the only way for these people to survive. \"That's when I decided that what I was doing was not part of giving a solution to what is wanted outside the park,\" says Sabuhoro. He quickly decided to quit the job and come up with an idea to help poachers make a living -- a plan that didn't include killing wildlife. \"I thought of an idea of turning poachers to farmers,\" says Sabuhoro, who took all of his savings -- $2,000 -- and divided it to poachers to rent land, buy seeds and start farming. \"I left them with that and they started farming, and when I came back six months after I found they had harvested enough -- they had enough food at home, but they were [also] selling more in the markets.\" But Sabuhoro wasn't finished. While talking to tourists who came to visit the volcanoes, Sabuhoro came up with an idea to capitalize on their interest in the area, and provide work for former poachers. \"I started a tour company called Rwanda Eco Tours, and I said for tourism to thrive in the country we need eco-tourism where tourists can give back to the community and then the communities will have an incentive to conserve the park. So we built a cultural village in 2006 -- before we finished, we had tourists visiting us.\" he says. \"In 2010, we got $30,000 net income from the cultural village and put this back to different activities in the village level.\" Sabuhoro, whose work with the cultural village has received international recognition, including a chance to briefly meet U.S. president Barack Obama as a Young African Leader, is now trying to take his idea further to other national parks across Africa where poaching is causing similar problems. \"If we can work together, on a regional level, continent level, we can save these species,\" he says. \"Because these are the last species that we have.

Since then, it's been taken up as an icon of the Black Lives Matter movement. When protesters held the winged figure at a Wednesday morning rally outside North Charleston's City Hall, the artwork was widely photographed. Creator Phillip Hyman grew up in the neighborhood where Scott, an unarmed black man, was shot in the back several times by a white police officer on Saturday. Hyman now lives in another part of the city and couldn't stop thinking about it. He woke up about 3 a.m. a couple of days after Scott was killed and began searching for materials. \"Art is really about that moment. I just couldn't take it any longer,\" he said. Hyman dug into the trash and found a piece of wood that was the perfect size. Then he picked up a can of black house paint and started making the reclaimed wood into a work of art. The 56-year-old said he crafted the artwork as a way of mourning with the family. \"That's who all this should really be about, not about the propaganda and making it your own story,\" said Hyman, who talks quickly and passionately about his subject material. \"Shooting him in the back and just the indignity of it all.\" The figure, painted black in mourning for the family, has wings because it's going to heaven, Hyman said. The man depicted in Hyman's piece is dressed in a hooded sweatsuit, though that's not what Scott was wearing when he was killed. Hyman said he prefers not to say too much about who the black angel figure is. People can look at the art and make their own interpretations, he said. \"It's a statement of where we are in America today. It's relevant in Charleston, Ferguson, Florida, anywhere now.\" After Hyman put the piece up on Tuesday near where Scott was killed, he got a call from a local protester with the Black Lives Matter movement, which has staged protests around the country in the wake of high-profile deaths at the hands of police. The group asked for permission to use his artwork in its demonstrations at the North Charleston City Hall. Hyman was happy to oblige. Each day, the protesters call Hyman and he either carries the angel-winged artwork to the protest, or the protesters come over to his home to pick it up. \"It's taken a life of its own, so I'm letting it do what it's supposed to do now,\" he said. Freelance photographer Joel Woodhall spotted the artwork and wondered where it came from. Woodhall, who lives in nearby Charleston, said the artwork made him feel sorrow for a life ended too soon. \"It was very emotionally moving. It's beautiful,\" he told CNN.

But minus the off-screen tragedy, is \"Furious 7\" worth racing to the theater? Here's what the critics are saying: . Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: \" 'Furious 7' is the best F&F by far, two hours of pure pow fueled by dedication and passionate heart. This one sticks with you. The usual flaws -- plot bumps, muscle acting, tweet-length dialogue -- fade in the face of the camaraderie on and off screen. Finishing the film in Walker's honor clearly brought out the best in everyone. It's bittersweet seeing Walker in action again. But it's also a kick to watch him take the wheel or hang off a bus in Azerbaijan that happens to be hanging off a cliff. He feels at home.\" Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly: \"No one forks over 10 bucks to see one of these flicks for its logic. We go for the bananas demolition-derby mayhem. 'Furious 7' delivers that with the direct visceral rush of an EpiPen. For two hours and change, we're treated to a high-octane orgy of some of the most exhilarating stunts ever put on film, including one showstopper where Walker balances on an overturned bus that's teetering on the edge of a cliff.\" Chris Ziegler, The Verge: \"It's entirely possible, of course, that my fandom has simply blinded me to 'Furious 7's' greatness. The action sequences -- particularly Abu Dhabi, with the supercar leaping between buildings -- are legitimately phenomenal, and the scenes filmed after Walker's passing, in which his brothers stepped in for him, were never distracting or even noticeable without looking closely. Maybe I'm missing something.\" A.O. Scott, New York Times: \"The final moments, when Mr. Walker's longtime colleagues say their farewells while he still appears to be on screen with them, are both awkward and moving. They remind you what these movies have always been about, underneath all the noise and the bravado: the ferocity of friendship and the terrible speed of loss.\" Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: \"The action sequences -- from hand-to-hand combat to the crash and burn of cars -- are, as we've come to expect, not grounded in reality. The parkour-influenced high-rise stunts that everyone will be talking about are particularly affecting because a) they feature the multimillion-dollar eye-candy of a jewel-encrusted limited-edition Lykan Hypersport and b) they are amazing.

Slager has been fired and charged with murder in the death of 50-year-old Walter Scott. A bystander's cell phone video, which began after an alleged struggle on the ground between Slager and Scott, shows the five-year police veteran shooting at Scott eight times as Scott runs away. Scott was hit five times. If words were exchanged between the men, they're are not audible on the tape. It's unclear what happened before Scott ran, or why he ran. The officer initially said that he used a Taser on Scott, who, Slager said, tried to take the weapon. Before Slager opens fire, the video shows a dark object falling behind Scott and hitting the ground. It's unclear whether that is the Taser. Later in the video, when Slager approaches Scott's body, Slager appears to drop a dark object near Scott. Slager is seen in the video handcuffing Scott after the shooting. Witness: I nearly erased shooting video out of fear . Feidin Santana, the witness who recorded the video, said he didn't see Scott grab Slager's Taser. His account contradicts what Slager told dispatchers. In two interviews with NBC, Santana said that he was walking to his job in North Charleston on Saturday morning when he saw Slager chase Scott, who had been pulled over for a broken taillight. Santana told NBC's Lester Holt on Wednesday that he saw the two men struggling on the ground. \"They were down on the (ground) ... before I started recording,\" Santana said. \"I remember the police (officer) had control of the situation. He had control of Scott.\" Santana said he heard the sound of a Taser being used. He believed Scott was trying to get away from it. But Scott never got the Taser or used it on the officer, Santana told NBC. Who was Walter Scott? A North Charleston Police report included brief statements from eight police officers, but not Slager. One officer, identified as Sgt. J.

+{"article": "(CNN)The Golden State could soon refer to the hue of California's lawns. Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday imposed mandatory water restrictions for the first time on residents, businesses and farms, ordering cities and towns in the drought-ravaged state to reduce usage by 25%. \"We're in a new era,\" Brown said. \"The idea of your nice little green grass getting lots of water every day, that's going to be a thing of the past.\" The 25% cut in usage amounts to roughly 1.5 million acre-feet of water (an acre foot of water equals about 325,000 gallons) over the next nine months, state officials said. \"This historic drought demands unprecedented action,\" Brown said, standing on a patch of dry, brown grass in the Sierra Nevada mountains that is usually blanketed by up to 5 feet of snow. The reduction in water use does not apply to the agriculture industry, except for the requirement that it report more information on its groundwater use. The exclusion prompted some criticism, as agriculture uses about 80% of California's developed water supply. Farms in the state have taken a hit, with reduced water allocations and thousands of farmworkers laid off. But climate writer Eric Holthaus of Slate wrote that \"wasteful agriculture is literally sucking California dry.\" The action comes as the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which Californians rely on heavily during the summer for their water needs, is near a record low. One famed golf course group said it should be able to keep its fairways and greens green. David Stivers, an executive vice president of the Pebble Beach company, said his company is studying the restrictions to see what effect it will have on business. \"It will not affect our golf course irrigation because we use recycled waste water (for golf course irrigation) from a plant we built in 1994,\" he said. The company operates Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course and The Links at Spanish Bay as well as three hotels. He said the drought has yet to hurt revenue. \"People up here are also very conscious about water usage and the expense of water in this area,\" he said. Pepperdine University in Malibu, known for its beautiful campus, said it would be challenging to meet the restrictions given the water-saving practices already in effect. The school already uses recycled and reclaimed water for campus irrigation and now it has turned off all fountains on campus, according to Rhiannon Bailard, director of the university's Center for Sustainability. The university was also encouraging students to further reduce water usage. In addition, Brown's executive order will: . \u2022 Impose significant cuts in water use on campuses, golf courses, cemeteries and other large landscapes. \u2022 Replace 50 million square feet of lawns throughout the state with \"drought-tolerant landscaping.\" \u2022 Create a temporary, statewide consumer rebate program to replace old appliances with water efficient models. \u2022 Prohibit new homes and developments from irrigating with potable water unless water-efficient drip irrigation systems are used. \u2022 Ban watering of ornamental grass on public street medians. \u2022 Require agricultural water users to report", "summary": "Pepperdine University seeks ways to meet new usage allowances, turns off fountains .

This is his sixth tour in Iraq, and he's back doing a job that he's been tasked with before: training Iraqi soldiers. Schwemmer and other active U.S. military personnel are on the ground in Iraq, whipping often ill-equipped government troops into shape. They've been here before, but this time, he feels, they're getting it right. But the U.S. military isn't the only contingent of Western forces in the region -- dozens of foreigners, including Americans, have volunteered to take the fight to ISIS.

While it is difficult to say how many foreign volunteers are fighting ISIS, a spokesman for a Kurdish militia fighting against them in Syria -- known as the YPG -- told the New York Times their forces include more than 100 American citizens. U.S. law enforcement officials say it is illegal to join a Syrian militia. But some organizations have set up recruitment drives online, featuring applications for foreign fighters complete with checklists of what to bring and advice on bringing body armor across international borders. Jordan Matson, a 28-year-old former U.S. army soldier from the tiny town of Sturtevant, Wisconsin, volunteered with the YPG. He told CNN that after much soul searching he realized that he needed to help in the battle against ISIS' brutal, expansionist regime. \"I got in contact with the YPG on Facebook and prayed about it for probably a month or two and asked, 'is this what I want to do?' and eventually, you know, decided to do it. \"All my life I wanted to be a solider... so I guess this just fits well over here.\" But foreign fighters aren't universally welcomed by those opposing ISIS.

+{"article": "Istanbul, Turkey (CNN)Sitting on a sunny bench in Istanbul's Gezi Park, Fadime Gurgen dismisses the controversy surrounding the 100th anniversary Friday of the massacre of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire with a wave of her hand. Gurgen, a 55-year-old cleaner, says her family has had close friendships with Armenians going back generations. \"There is no such thing as genocide,\" she says. \"Other people are trying to create hostility between us.\" Most Turks agree with Gurgen. Ninety-one percent of Turks do not believe that the events of 1915 -- when, according to Armenians, 1.5 million ethnic Armenians were systematically killed in the final years of the Ottoman Empire -- were genocide, according to a recent poll. It's a sentiment shared by the Turkish government, which denies that a genocide took place, maintaining that hundreds of thousands of Turkish Muslims and Armenian Christians died in intercommunal violence around the bloody battlefields of World War I. Turkey also disputes Armenia's count of the numbers killed, putting it at 300,000. It's a heavily disputed position -- the killings are widely viewed by scholars as genocide and the Armenian government and diaspora are lobbying for wider recognition in the international community. Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan said Friday in statement that Turkey's Ottoman rulers had planned and carried out a \"monstrous crime\" in the years of World War I and called on more countries to recognize and condemn the genocide. Many Armenians living in Turkey still feel treated as second-class citizens. However many have hope that Turkey's younger generation is more willing to accept that a genocide occurred than their parents. \"Students are much, much more liberal,\" says Diana Van, whose grandparents escaped the mass killings. Van is a member of the delegation for the Armenian Genocide commemoration and is writing her Masters thesis on the issue at Ankara University. \"They have access to alternative information written in English, which is not taught in school (in Turkey). With more access to books, to alternative information, and with a larger democratization process, Turkey will be able to face its history.\" A century after her Armenian ancestors escaped death in Eastern Turkey, Van says she is frustrated that Turkey is unwilling to accept what happened. \"Your identity is denied by Turkey,\" she says. \"They do not want to face this past. In Turkey, the word Armenian is still used as a curse. Whenever you want to hurt somebody, you say, 'you are like an Armenian.'\" Van says an admission of genocide by Turkey would largely be symbolic. While her grandparents lost their land, she has returned to their villages and she recognizes that trying to reclaim it would be impossible. \"I do not believe that this is going to happen,\" she says of the territorial claims made by many Armenians. \"One hundred years have passed.

But Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force, led by General Qassem Suleimani, is already training, advising and supporting Iraqi Shia militias in their fight against ISIS.

Environmentalist group Sea Shepherd had been tailing the Thunder -- subject of an Interpol \"purple notice\" for suspected fraud and fisheries-related crimes -- since its ship the Bob Barker encountered it in the Southern Ocean several months ago. The pursuit ended early Monday in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of west Africa, when the Bob Barker received a distress call from the Thunder. \"We were literally a few hundred meters away; they said the ship was sinking and they were abandoning the Thunder,\" said Sea Shepherd spokesman Adam Burling. \"We invited the crew -- 40 of them -- on board, had a medical officer check them over, provided them with food and water.\" Bob Barker Captain Peter Hammarstedt said the crew rescued from the ship had been handed over to the Sao Tome coastguard early Tuesday. He said he hoped the authorities would work with Interpol to prosecute those operating the vessel. \"We obviously want to see the captain of the Thunder prosecuted for his offenses,\" he told CNN by phone from the Bob Barker, at sea to the west of Sao Tome. Hammarstedt said he believed the Thunder was deliberately sunk to destroy physical evidence of illegal fishing. \"I'm 100% confident that the captain of the Thunder destroyed his own ship,\" he said. Hammarstedt said he had managed to send three crew members aboard the abandoned Thunder before it went down. \"Usually what happens when a vessel is sinking is the master will ensure all compartments and hatches are shut so as to maintain buoyancy,\" he said. \"On the Thunder, all the hatches had been opened, including the hatch leading to the fish hold.\" He said his crew had retrieved computers, mobile phones and other devices from the Thunder that would be handed over to assist any investigation. They had also retrieved a fish from the ship's fish hold, which he said was about a quarter full. He said the fish was a toothfish, the prized stock his organization claims the Thunder was illegally catching when they were encountered in the Southern Ocean. More surprising was the reaction of the captain of the Thunder as his ship went under, he claimed. \"When the vessel went completely under the water, the captain of the Thunder, who was in a life raft at the time, started cheering and applauding, which was very unusual behavior for a skipper who had just lost his ship,\" he said. The pursuit of the Thunder began after the Bob Barker encountered the vessel off the coast of Antarctica, said Burling. He claimed the vessel was found with its nets in the water, illegally catching Patagonian toothfish.

But not in 2013, when three people died and over 200 were injured when a pair of bombs went off within 12 seconds of each other at the finish line. And not this year -- at least not if you're a member of the jury that convicted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the bombings. That's what federal Judge George A. O'Toole told jurors Tuesday, stressing the importance of avoiding anything that could be prejudicial in the trial's sentencing phase. That begins April 21, a day after this year's edition of the landmark race. \"Do not attend the Boston Marathon or any events or gatherings related to the anniversary or the current running of the Boston Marathon,\" O'Toole said in court. The judge spoke for less than 10 minutes, and stressed the seriousness of his warnings. The first phase of Tsarnaev's trial began March 4, after which federal prosecutors called 92 witnesses, and the defense just four. Timeline of the bombings, manhunt and aftermath . Tsarnaev's lawyers never disputed that their client was at the scene of the bombings and part of the days-long mayhem that followed. Tsarnaev lawyer Judy Clarke acknowledged in opening arguments that: \"It was him.\" But Clarke argued that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev only took part in the plot under the influence of his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died after the bombings, but before his brother was captured in a boat parked in a Watertown backyard, . That argument wasn't enough to sway the jury, though. Rather, they convicted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on all 30 counts he faced -- including using weapons of mass destruction, bombing a place of public use, conspiracy and aiding and abetting. A look at all of the charges . The only question now, short of a successful appeal of that verdict, is what price he'll now pay. The maximum penalty for several of the charges is death. Talking to the jury on Tuesday, O'Toole predicted that the sentencing phase will last four weeks before cautioning that forecasting a specific timetable is less reliable than guessing the weather. The plan is for the court to be in session for four days a week, as long as the process takes. Until then, O'Toole told the jurors, \"Please put the case out of your minds.

+{"article": "(CNN)Recently, Nashville's district attorney banned prosecutors from offering female sterilization in plea deals. Believe it or not, Nashville prosecutors have offered this option four times in the past five years. There has been public outrage at the notion that a defendant in America in 2015 would be offered a choice of sterilization as part of a plea deal. Except, it happens all the time. Some have claimed this practice \"evokes a dark corner of American history\" where the mentally ill or \"deficient\" were forced to undergo sterilization. Yeah, that's true. We did that. And it was bad. Except this isn't quite that. Female sterilization is linked to the controversial \"eugenics\" movement, which advocated for the notion that the human race can be improved by selective breeding of people with superior genes. There is even a 1927 Supreme Court case, Buck v. Bell, in which the justices ruled that a state statute permitting compulsory sterilization of the unfit and \"imbeciles,\" \"for the protection and health of the state,\" was constitutional. The opinion in the case is stunning, especially because the Supreme Court has never technically overruled it. But Buck v. Bell dealt with involuntary sterilization of people because of their mental disabilities, not because they were being punished for a crime. You can hate sterilization, and the Tennessee case may have the creepy feel of the antiquated practice of eugenics, but it's not that. Present-day sterilization plea deals involve a voluntary choice of sterilization by persons accused of a crime, and for whom sterilization will be part of their punishment. Others may argue that the Supreme Court has already spoken on the issue of compulsory sterilization as punishment, and struck it down. That's true too, sort of. In Skinner v. Oklahoma, the Court struck down a law permitting compulsory sterilization of criminals as unconstitutional, but not because it was cruel and unusual. Instead, the law was struck down because the law was unequally applied for similar crimes. So the question remains: Is sterilization as a punishment unconstitutional? The Eighth Amendment provides: \"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.\" Practically, however, punishments are rarely deemed cruel and unusual by the judiciary. We have executed people with hangings and by firing squad. Sterilization has to be somewhere below that, right? Ultimately, however, the constitutionality of sterilization may be a red herring in this analysis, because it appears that even if a punishment vciolates the Constitution, it is permissible, if you willingly choose it. Suppose arguendo (for argument's sake) that sterilization is judicially labeled a cruel and unusual punishment, violating the Eighth Amendment. This is where it gets interesting: It still might be an appropriate and constitutional part of a plea deal. Shocked? You shouldn't be. As citizens, we validly waive our constitutional rights all the time. You waive your Fourth Amendment protections against search and seizure when you answer \"yes\" to an officer's \"Mind if I look in your trunk?\" You waive your Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination when you try to explain to the detective", "summary": "Nashville's district attorney banned prosecutors from offering female sterilization in plea deals .

Sevdet Besim, 18, was charged with conspiring to commit a terrorist act, and was denied bail Saturday. The person charged Monday is accused of conspiring to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts. The suspects planned to attack during a major national commemoration in a week, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Saturday. \"The act that we believe was in preparation involved attacks against police officers,\" he said. There was also a risk to the public, police said. Police said the suspects were targeting a ceremony on Anzac Day (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps Day), which is April 25 and this year is the centennial of the Gallipoli Campaign in World War I. Abbott avoided the term ISIS -- or Islamic State -- to call out those who authorities believed influenced the suspects. He instead referred to the group as the \"Daesh death cult,\" employing the acronym that is transliterated from the group's name in Arabic. It's a handle ISIS is known to loathe. Police also distanced the suspects from any ethnic connection. The men \"are individuals acting by themselves. They are not representatives of any religious, cultural or national group,\" Victoria Police Acting Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said. \"I think the entire Australian community should be concerned about the young age of those particular men,\" Neil Gaughan, acting deputy commissioner of the Australian Federal Police, said. \"And this is an issue not just with law enforcement, but for the broader community. ... We need to get better in relation to identifying young men and woman involved in this type of behavior, at the very early stage.\" CNN's Ralph Ellis and Ben Brumfield contributed to this report.", "summary": "A second teen has been charged with helping plan an \"ISIS-inspired\" attack .

What I find more disturbing is how the officer cuffs the fallen Scott and allows him to die face-down in the dirt while Slager appears to plant an item next to his body. I understand why people are skeptical of self-defense claims -- especially from law enforcement. If not for the video taken by a bystander, I can't help but think that this story would be shuttered behind the wall of an active investigation. As a defense attorney, I am more sensitive than anyone to the assumption of innocence for those accused of a crime, but this single piece of evidence -- a video of a man shot in the back while in full retreat -- defies any reasonable explanation. Thank God there was a camera. It will help ensure that justice will be served in this case. However, there is another camera that -- had it been deployed -- might have prevented the entire tragedy: a police body camera. Throughout the entire encounter with Scott, it's clear Slager had no idea someone was filming him. Had he known there would be video of his every move, would he have drawn his weapon on a fleeing man? Would he have fired? Eight times? Would he have misrepresented the encounter on his police report? Of course not. If Slager had been wearing a body camera, Scott would probably still be alive, and Slager wouldn't be facing the possibility of life in prison -- or a possible death sentence. Body cameras are expensive to deploy, sure. And storing the massive amounts of data that body cameras create costs even more. That cost, however -- if we're talking the monetary kind -- may be eclipsed by the punitive damages delivered to Scott's family in an inevitable civil suit against the North Charleston Police Department. Most importantly, we have to ask ourselves this: What's the value of a human life? Certainly it's worth the price of some mass data storage. And there's something else at stake. The public is losing confidence in law enforcement, and the strained relationship between minorities and police is reaching a breaking point. Every police shooting that captures headlines justifies an ever increasing fear of cops in the street. As fear ratchets up, so does the tension between cops and the people in the communities they serve. As tension rises, the risk of more shootings increases. It is a cycle of destruction that could lead to chaos. Police body cameras can help break this cycle. Studies have shown that both cops and people in the community act better when they know they are on camera. Complaints against cops decrease, and, most importantly, use-of-force incidents drop. I will admit that body cameras are only an interim solution. They only help compensate for the real underlying problem, which is this: There is a bias against black men that has infiltrated the criminal justice", "summary": "Mark O'Mara: Video captured Michael Slager shooting Walter Scott; if cop had been wearing a body camera, he probably wouldn't have fired .

Today, most Iraqi Christians live in Kurdish areas in the north, which have been a relative haven of stability. And so far, the Kurds have been taking heavy losses to defend Christian and Yezidi minorities against ISIS.

But insert Venezuela into the mix and Panama City, Panama, quickly turns into a \"triangle of tension.\" Heads of state from 35 countries in the Western Hemisphere have met every three years to discuss economic, social or political issues since the creation of the summit in 1994. Cuba has historically been the wrench in the diplomatic machinery, with some Latin American leaders threatening not to attend the Summit of the Americas if the United States and Canada didn't agree to invite President Raul Castro. The tide changed December 17, 2014, when President Barack Obama and Castro announced that more than five decades of Cold War rivalry was ending. Diplomats from both countries immediately began negotiations to establish embassies in Havana and Washington, and the attention immediately focused on the Summit of the Americas, where for the first time since the about-face, Obama and Castro would come face-to-face. The much anticipated handshake between Obama and Castro would steal all the headlines if it wasn't for Cuba's strongest ally, Venezuela. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro recently accused the United States of trying to topple his government and banned former President George Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and Senators Bob Menendez and Marco Rubio from entering Venezuela. \"They can't enter Venezuela because they're terrorists,\" Maduro said, blaming the American politicians for what he called terrorist actions in Iraq, Syria and Vietnam. The U.S. State Department said the allegations of U.S. involvement in a coup plot against Maduro were \"baseless and false.\" Later, Obama issued an executive order sanctioning seven Venezuelan officials for human rights violations and saying the country was a \"threat to national security.\" White House officials said every executive order includes that language, but it has sparked a fiery response from Maduro, who has been collecting millions of signatures demanding the repeal of the order. He also asked for repeal in full-page ads in The New York Times and in a Panama City newspaper. Maduro didn't stop there; he has been rallying other Latin American leaders, including Bolivian President Evo Morales, Ecuador's Rafael Correa and Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega. But perhaps most damning for the United States -- and creating the \"triangle of tension\" at the summit -- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez has sided publicly with Maduro. \"We reiterate our strong condemnation of the unacceptable and unjustifiable unilateral sanctions imposed against the sister nation of Venezuela and the continued foreign interference with the purpose of creating a climate of instability in that sister nation. We ratify our firmest support to the Bolivarian Revolution and the legitimate government headed by President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro,\" Rodriguez said.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) deployed the second remote-controlled robot last week after the first one broke down. The robot detected lower radiation levels and temperature than expected, an indicator that cooling systems were working effectively, according to a statement released by TEPCO. \"It is a great step forward towards the decommissioning work as we can earn necessary data for the next investigation,\" said Akira Ono, the chief of Fukushima Daiichi plant. TEPCO said the yellow seen on the images seemed to suggest a discoloration of the grating, though the cause was unknown. It said the green glow could not be seen when filmed from other angles. The shape-shifting robots were sent in to assess the damage in one of the reactors that suffered a meltdown after a devastating earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. TEPCO says the site's still too dangerous for workers to enter. The first robot, which was sent in on April 10, stalled after moving about 10 meters, according to a statement released by TEPCO. A report and footage from the robot shows that a fallen object had blocked its path and left it stranded. TEPCO decided to cut off the cable connected to the device on April 12 as it had already collected data on radiation levels in 14 of the 18 targeted locations, completing around two-thirds of the originally planned route. The second robot was sent in on April 15 and collected data from all 11 points, as scheduled. Four years after the devastating nuclear crisis, the radiation levels inside the three damaged reactors are still extremely high and remain unsafe for people to enter.

Officer Michael Slager was arrested after raw video surfaced showing him firing numerous shots at Walter Scott as Scott ran away from a traffic stop. The video footage contradicts Slager's statement that he felt threatened after Scott allegedly took his stun gun during a scuffle. The Post and Courier reported that the FBI has opened an investigation into the shooting death along with the State Law Enforcement Division, while the South Carolina attorney general is investigating possible civil rights violations. Now, after watching the footage \u2014 which should remain in your memory for a long time to come \u2014 one could say that Slager shot Scott like a dog. But then again, dogs usually are not treated this badly. But the man was shot like a runaway slave. In this case, there was clear documented evidence of what occurred, and no room for fabrications. Most police fatal shootings do not result in indictments because prosecutors conclude they are justifiable. The police officer can always plant a gun on the suspect he shot to death, or like Slager, apparently place a Taser near Scott's body and concoct some story that his life was in danger. \"We can't bring Mr. Scott back, but something like this today can have a bigger precedence than just what happened here with Mr. Scott. Because what happened today doesn't happen all the time,\" said L. Chris Stewart, an attorney for the Scott family, at a press conference. \"I don't think that all police officers are bad cops, but there are some bad ones out there. And I don't want to see anyone get shot down the way that my brother got shot down,\" said Anthony Scott, brother of the victim. \"What if there was no video? What if there was no witness, or hero as I call him, to come forward? Then this wouldn't have happened, because as you can see, the initial reports stated something totally different.

The man was identified later as Sid Ahmed Ghlam, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told television broadcaster TF1. Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said Ghlam asked for medical help at his home in Paris' 13th district Sunday morning, claiming he had accidentally injured himself when he mishandled a weapon. But authorities found more than a man with a gunshot wound in his thigh. Molins said Ghlam was someone suspected of killing a 32-year-old woman hours earlier and who then intended to launch a larger-scale terror attack in the near future. \"(He) let them believe that he was the victim,\" French President Francois Hollande said Wednesday. \"But police understood that there was an investigation that needed to be initiated.\" That probe started in earnest when police spotted traces of blood and bags in the suspect's car. Based on this discovery \"and in view of the attitude and suspicious behavior of the individual,\" they looked inside the car and found a loaded Kalashnikov gun, a 9-mm revolver, three cell phones, a laptop, a USB key, a satellite navigation system \"and handwritten documents that contained information on possible targets,\" Molins said. A search inside his home turned up yet more potentially key evidence, including three more Kalashnikovs, three bulletproof vests, police armbands, a camera, some 2,000 euros in cash and \"documents in Arabic mentioning al Qaeda and ISIS,\" according to the prosecutor. \"A terrorist attack has been foiled,\" Hollande said. \"It's not the first time.\" Earlier Ghlam was identified as a computer science student originally from Algeria. According to Molins, he lived in that North African country until 2001, joined his parents in France for the next two years, then went back to Algeria. He got his undergraduate degree in that nation, then returned to France to study electronics. He'd never been convicted of a crime; in fact, the lone accusation against him in August 2013 was later withdrawn. But that didn't mean French authorities didn't know about Ghlam. \"He had been noticed wishing to go to Syria,\" Molins explained. The prosecutor added that authorities found nothing to suggest he was imminent threat, \"but he was under surveillance.\" Law enforcement checked on the man once in 2014 and again this year, Cazeneuve said. The minister said the man planned to head to Syria, a country embroiled in a bloody, years-long civil war that has attracted foreigners wishing to join extremist militant groups like ISIS. There was no indication he ever made it. But, Molins said, computer searches revealed that the man had been communicating with someone in Syria who \"asked him to target a church.\" What church?

Gupta pointed out the 10 diseases where medical marijuana research could have an impact and how it helped to stop one young girl's severe seizures, and he also referenced other studies. He said that the potential benefits of medical marijuana for people suffering from PTSD is actually the subject of a federally approved study. The belief: It could suppress dream recall and allow those sufferers to focus on the present. There is also research into how the drug might affect the spasms associated with people who have multiple sclerosis. Medical marijuana could also be an important option for those who rely on painkillers, as painkiller overdose is the greatest preventable death in the United States, Gupta said. Why don't other doctors talk about it? Many of the questions around medical marijuana can be tied back to the fact that it's just not discussed much. Teaching about medical marijuana remains taboo in medical school. But Gupta also presented the science directly, showing what your body on weed looks like. Readers also wanted to know why people are so against the legalization of marijuana. Decades of misinformation, Gupta said. What are the drawbacks? With medical marijuana so misunderstood, there naturally is a fear of potential side effects. There are legitimate, long-term concerns with the developing brain, Gupta said, and suggested that readers seek out the research of Dr. Staci Gruber, who has conducted numerous studies on marijuana use and brain function. Isn't it dangerous? When confronted with questions rooted in fear about the dangers of medical marijuana, Gupta confessed that he used to believe the same thing -- that marijuana is dangerous without proven benefits. After extensive research, he said he changed his mind on weed.", "summary": "CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta answers questions about medical marijuana .

The mad rush of 24 hours previously, in those first confusing, cacophonous hours following the 7.8-magnitude earthquake near the Nepali capital, had died down. Now, families sit, camped out, silent and patiently waiting, but for now abandoned. At the airport, at passport control, we meet a Nepalese man, who is unable to contact his family. They live in a village 20 km from the epicenter. He also has two cousins on Everest, he says. He has no way to reach any of them. Follow the latest coverage of Nepal earthquake . Stepping out of the terminal building, the devastation is apparent. It is an overwhelming introduction to this city that, less than 48 hours ago, was hit by the worst earthquake this country has experienced in 80 years. The death toll has skipped past 3,000 and climbs, inexorably. Taking into account the fact that many rural areas, just as badly affected but isolated and vulnerable, have yet to be evaluated, the human cost is staggering. Across town the bus station is a hive of activity as scores try urgently to leave the city, to make it out to the outlying areas so badly affected by this quake. Communications are down and so many here are desperate to make it out to their stricken families, and discover their fate. The scene is repeated at every gas station; snaking lines of Indian-made Tata cars, and motorcycles, waiting to fill up. People are clambering aboard buses, into cars, trying to get as far away from this devastation as possible. Remaining inside Kathmandu, neighbors stare forlornly at their former homes, now collapsed piles of rubble. We visit a Montessori school, mercifully empty as the children had the Saturday off. A seven-story building behind it, however, was home to a small church, and housed a congregation of between 40 and 50 when tragedy occurred. The pastor's son Nakul Tamang clambers up a ladder, looking for an entrance into the ruined facade, looking to retrieve his father, not knowing if he will find him alive or dead. Rescue teams stop him before he reaches the top. The building is not secure, but Tamang doesn't care. \"It's sad, it's hard,\" he says. Six bodies had already been pulled from the concrete and steel wreckage. A nearby five-story structure has collapsed in on itself. It was pink, with wrought balconies. Now it is pancaked, reduced to a third of its height and a mess of rubble and reinforced steel. One woman has been pulled out of the wreckage, and rescuers continue to work in a precarious hollow scooped out from the fallen bricks. Officials tell the onlookers that there is a chance that survivors may have been protected in a corridor as the building came down around them.

A large crowd erupted in cheers as Pemba Tamang was carried out on a stretcher. He was wearing a New York shirt and a blue neck brace, was blanketed by dust and had the look of a deer in the headlights. His rescuer, Inspector Lakshman Basnet of the Nepalese Armed Police Force, said Tamang was responsive and showed no apparent signs of serious injury. He was given an IV drip and rushed from the Gongapur area to a temporary emergency hospital run by an Israeli aid team. The Nepalese rescuers had been working for five hours to locate Tamang after they heard his voice coming from under the debris. Also Thursday, a U.S. special operations forces team rescued 30 people, including three Americans, by helicopter from an area of Nepal called Bamboo Village, according to the U.S. ambassador to Nepal. The group was trapped in the village and living in a makeshift shelter, Ambassador Peter Bodde said. The families had contacted the U.S. government to let officials know where their relatives were stuck, he said. They had no other way to get out of the area, Bodde said. An American disaster response team was also involved in the rescue of the 15 year old boy. The team was at a nearby damaged bus station when it got word that someone might be alive. Andrew Olvera, the head of the U.S. team, said his men rushed over with search dogs and equipment ranging from breaching tools to sophisticated cameras that can probe under the rubble. He said the operation carried enormous risk, as chunks of the collapsed building hung precariously on rebar. Entire floors of what used to be people's homes were visible -- ceiling fans and beds still draped with cotton sheets. It was a mountain of loss and sorrow. \"It's dangerous, but it's what we do,\" said Olvera, who has a daughter and twin 11-year-old boys. \"It's risk versus gain. To save a human life, we will risk almost everything. \"The way the building is, it's definitely a miracle,\" he said. Tamang cried for water in a muffled voice. He had been buried for five days under a building that pancaked. He dodged death because of a motorcycle that shielded him from the pressure of the concrete and steel, according to Basnet. And, Basnet said, he \"survived by good faith.\" Dennis Bautista, who went down to where Tamang was buried to administer medical aid, called the rescue amazing. \"It feels good to be able to help out. I can't imagine what he went through,\" Bautista said. \"He is a brave young man.\" Basnet said once he got closer to Tamang, he tried to reassure him that he would be OK. \"I gave him water and talked to him regularly,\" Basnet said.

They'd already abandoned larger bags in a mound. Only carry-on luggage was allowed on this Air India plane. The passengers were mostly Indian nationals, plus Yemenis and people from other countries who had been working in Yemen's capital, Sanaa. They sprinted or walked with deliberation to the airplanes. The stress of living in a war zone showed on the passengers' faces. Nobody wanted to be left behind. They climbed the steps to the airliner and were greeted by the Air India crew, all wearing pressed uniforms, the flight attendants fully made up. After takeoff, the flight attendants went up and down the aisle offering drinks to the 188 evacuees as if they were on a vacation flight. But some passengers were already fast asleep, exhausted by the push to get out of Yemen, site of some of the most chaotic fighting in the Mideast. This scene has been repeated in recent days as countries work to get their citizens out of Sanaa during a small window when Saudi planes are not bombing the city in an attempt to drive out the Houthis, a Shiite group that has taken over the capital. Air India is especially active because so many Indian nationals work in other nations. Over the last few days, India has evacuated some 2,500 people from Yemen, said Gen. Vijay Kumar Singh, the Indian deputy foreign minister who's overseeing the evacuation. The flights are going to Djibouti, the small African nation nearly 430 kilometers (267 miles) away. Some evacuees are fleeing on boats at port cities such as Aden. People are leaving behind much more than luggage. Damodar Thakur, a professor at Sanaa University, lived in the capital 34 years and built a life there. He loved living in Yemen. \"I never felt like a foreigner,\" he said. Like the others, he was exhausted and jangled by the shelling and lack of electricity for long stretches. \"At night, my goodness!\" he said. \"Gunshots being fired every minute. Sometimes the sky full of sparkling lights. Some women crying, children terrified. Really bad.\" The Houthi rebels control Sanaa, including the airport. But the Saudis are bombing the city and thus control air access in a way, so getting people out requires coordination. The Saudi air force gave Air India a four-hour window to go to and from Sanaa and a specific travel route for a safe landing. As the plane approached the city, the crew could see the scars of the fighting. There were no cars on the roads. Dozens of buildings were destroyed. At the airport, the landing strips and airport terminal were untouched by Saudi bombs, but buildings on the outskirts of the airport and planes along the airstrip had been blown to bits. The loading of passengers was swift. They approached the planes carrying boarding passes -- another touch of normalcy in the otherwise abnormal event.

+{"article": "(CNN)If someone told you that your city had started a program providing clean needles to injecting drug users, would that make you want to start injecting drugs yourself? The answer, of course, would be no. Yet for decades, many have stood by the belief that such programs, known as syringe exchange or syringe services programs, promote and encourage drug use. Indeed, for Congress, it became the rationale behind a ban implemented in 1988 that prohibits the use of federal funds for these programs. But an overwhelming body of scientific evidence continues to show that this is simply not true. As a result of the recent spikes in HIV and hepatitis C infections among injecting drug users in rural Indiana and Kentucky, the controversial topic of syringe exchange programs has come to the fore again. And this time, scientific evidence and sound public health practices prevailed as both states authorized the implementation of syringe exchange programs to help curb the spread of these two blood-borne diseases that can be spread by contaminated syringes. This is a welcome step -- an estimated 50,000 Americans are newly infected with HIV every year, and some 8% are among injection drug users. Meanwhile, between 2006 and 2012, at least 30 states experienced increases in hepatitis C infection rates, with more than half reporting at least a 200% increase in acute infections among young adults. Overall, the prevalence of acute hepatitis C among people under 30 rose from 36% to 49% in six years. With such numbers in mind, the recent national spotlight on syringe services programs offers a critical opportunity for us to reignite a much-needed conversation. Dozens of studies have demonstrated conclusively how effective syringe services programs have been in the fight against HIV and hepatitis C transmission among injection drug users by reducing the reuse and sharing of dirty syringes -- without increasing drug use. In addition to helping curb the spread of these diseases by offering access to sterile syringes, these programs promote public health and safety by taking syringes off the streets and protecting law enforcement personnel and others, including children, from injuries. They also offer preventive health services, such as HIV testing and counseling, and form vital bridges to drug treatment, overdose prevention, housing and employment services. For states such as New York and Washington -- early adopters of these interventions -- syringe services programs have played a crucial role in driving down HIV transmission among injecting drug users. Washington was the first state in the United States to implement an syringe exchange when it opened a syringe services program in Tacoma in 1988. In New York City -- where half of all injection drug users were HIV positive in the 1980s -- state lawmakers authorized syringe exchange in 1992 to combat the disease, deeming it a \"public health necessity.\" The expansion of these programs in New York was followed by a dramatic reduction in HIV incidence among injecting drug users, declining from 54% in 1990 to 13% in 2001; hepatitis C prevalence declined from 90% to 63% during this period.

The decimation of our people, too, was reduced to a footnote -- if we were lucky -- in tomes about World War I, when more than one million Armenians were killed during the last days of the Ottoman Empire. Most of the time, though, the coverage was about how Armenians and Turks hate each other like cats and dogs, that the Turks continue to deny that ethnic cleansing occurred, saying the Armenians had hatched a rebellion, and that the leaders had no choice but to deport them from their homes and put them on the road that led to their deaths. Even Adolf Hitler had brushed us aside, uttering, just before invading Poland in September 1939: \"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?\" according to the former bureau chief of The Associated Press in Berlin, Louis Lochner. Apparently he hadn't the anticipated the Kardashian juggernaut. As Kim Kardashian, sister Khloe and their two cousins recently toured Armenia -- on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the mass killings, which is marked on April 24 -- they spotlighted a humanitarian crime that Pope Francis recently called \"the first genocide of the 20th century.\" Suddenly, the poor landlocked country of Armenia was trending.

He told of how an entire caravan of thousands was killed in what's now eastern Syria, and that he only escaped by waiting until night and crawling out on his hands and knees past the ring of guards, and then crossing the desert for six days with only enough water to fill two cups. When the Kardashians first rose to fame, many Armenians cringed over their potboiler storyline, their million-dollar weddings to basketball players and rappers, multiple divorces, and a clothing line at Sears.

+{"article": "(CNN)Three Orthodox rabbis accused of planning and participating in the torture of Jewish men who refused to divorce their wives were convicted Tuesday of conspiring to commit kidnapping. Rabbis Mendel Epstein, 69; Jay Goldstein, 60; and Binyamin Stimler, 39, were found guilty on one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping in New Jersey federal court. Goldstein and Stimler were also convicted on charges of attempted kidnapping. The rabbis were part of a ring accused of accepting tens of thousands of dollars to orchestrate the kidnappings of Jewish husbands to persuade them through torture involving electric cattle prods and screwdrivers to grant \"gets,\" a document that Jewish law requires a husband to present to his wife in order to be issued a divorce, court papers said. The men were arrested in October 2013 following an FBI sting operation that ended with Goldstein, Stimler and six other men with ski masks, surgical blades and a 30-foot nylon rope in a warehouse in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Lawyers for each of the rabbis told CNN they plan on appealing the convictions. \"Rabbi Epstein still firmly believes that he was protecting women's rights and was protecting the agunahs and the families,\" said Robert Stahl, the lawyer for Epstein. Without a \"get,\" a woman is considered an \"agunah,\" a chained woman bound to a man no matter how over the marriage might actually be. An Orthodox Jewish woman who does not receive a get runs the risk of being shunned in her community and labeled an adulteress if she moves on. Any future children she has are considered bastards permitted to marry only other bastards. \"I don't think this was a traditional kidnapping,\" said Aidan O'Connor, the lawyer for Goldstein. Goldstein is a sofer, a Jewish scribe who transcribes the Torah and writes other religious documents, including divorce papers, his attorney said. Nathan Lewin, the attorney for Stimler, called the verdict \"shocking\" and said his client was only present at the warehouse as a witness for the ceremonial signing of the document. \"There's no evidence that Rabbi Stimler knew what was going to be going on,\" Lewin said. \"Of course we're going to take all the steps to correct this injustice.\" Epstein's son, David Epstein, was acquitted on Tuesday of kidnapping charges. The jury returned not guilty verdicts on the attempted kidnapping charges against Mendel Epstein, and on more severe kidnapping charges against the three rabbis. Nine other individuals previously pled guilty in the case to conspiracy charges, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's office in New Jersey. Henry Mazurek, the lawyer for David Epstein, said his client was grateful for the jury's decision but called his client's acquittals \"bittersweet\" next to his father's conviction. \"He really believes that (his father) was a champion of someone who was voiceless in his religion,\" Mazurek said.

But this first meeting of Obama and Castro since they announced plans to start normalizing diplomatic ties should not be the end of the summit story. Or at least Obama is hoping it won't be. After all, the President has had some unhappy experiences at hemispheric summits, where the headlines have often focused on some less than flattering moments. The reality is that the United States has been losing ground in this increasingly important region, and Obama needs to put on a strong performance in Panama at the Summit of the Americas if the U.S. is to have a chance of improving ties with neighbors who should be best friends, but who have drifted away as America has been focused on challenges at home and instability in the Middle East. Unfortunately, America has lost influence in Latin America to a hyperactive China, a cunning Russia and a troubling Iran, all of which have made inroads in the region at Washington's expense. This gathering therefore offers a chance for the U.S. to reverse the tide and build on the potential offered by a natural alliance strengthened by millions of people with Latin American and Caribbean blood who make their homes in the United States. The foundations for a strong hemispheric bloc are there. But they need attention, and the Panama meeting offers a good opportunity to start building. But first: Do no harm. Large diplomatic gatherings are minutely orchestrated events, and the U.S., with its vast experience in preparing for high-level multilateral meetings, knows the importance of dotting the I's and crossing the T's. But this hasn't stopped recent summits descending into diplomatic and PR disasters for the U.S. Just look at the last summit, held in Cartagena, Colombia, which stayed in the news much longer than anyone expected after Secret Service agents embarrassed the United States by hiring prostitutes and bringing them to their hotel rooms, in violation of basic security protocols. They were reportedly caught after one of the women accused an agent of refusing to pay an agreed fee. As a result of all this, the Americans looked dumb, incompetent -- and cheap. And back in 2009, the President -- new on the job -- was caught flat footed by a fast-talking, fiery anti-American president of Venezuela. The late Hugo Chavez outplayed the leader of the free world, who had just taken office and was trying to show America's new \"outstretched hand\" toward the foe of the George W. Bush era. The summit hit a depressing low for the Obama administration when Chavez walked up to Obama and, as the cameras clicked, handed the American President a copy of the book \"Open Veins of Latin America,\" which blames the region's woes on the U.S. and Europe.

I think part of the thing that really stuck with me was this feeling of wanting to belong to something, because I just didn't feel like I fit in with the other kids. When I started playing music it really gave me a sense of identity, something that I belonged to, something that I was good at, something that people would watch me do and say, \"Oh wow, that's really cool or he's really good at that.\" I think in that way music really gave me an anchor in my social experience.

His work and his life, as he knew it then, came to a halt on January 19, 2012. That's when, according to Italy's state-run ANSA news agency, four armed men burst into the building where Lo Porto lived and abducted him along with colleague Bernd Muehlenbeck. Two years later, Lo Porto was dead -- killed accidentally by a U.S. drone strike, according to American authorities. The native of the Sicilian city of Palermo died along with a fellow al Qaeda hostage, American Warren Weinstein. That same counterterrorism operation in a border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan killed at least one al Qaeda leader, Ahmed Farouq, who was also a U.S. citizen. His family members, including his four brothers, called him Giancarlo. Lo Porto grew up in Sicily and then studied at London Metropolitan University, getting his undergraduate degree there in Peace and Conflict Studies in 2010, according to the school.

And the university, in a statement, described him as \"a popular student who was committed to helping others.\" \"We are tremendously proud of him and the humanitarian work he did,\" the school said. At the time he was taken captive, Lo Porto worked with the German aid organization Welthungerlife, a 53-year-old group dedicated to fighting hunger and poverty worldwide. Such work means going to places where the need is most -- places like Multan in Pakistan.

+{"article": "Shanghai, China (CNN)With a well-paid job in finance and his own apartment, Li Lifei is living the Chinese dream. But there's one missing ingredient -- his own car. The 26-year old has his eye on a Volkswagen Tiguan but Shanghai, like many large Chinese cities, rations license plates as it looks for a solution to its gridlocked roads and polluted skies. To register for a license plate auction, prospective car buyers like Li must put down a deposit in exchange for disc containing software they can use to bid online. The auctions take place once a month on a Saturday morning. \"I've been trying for six months with no success,\" Li told CNN. To boost his chances, Li upgraded the speed of his Internet connection from 10 to 50 mbps but to no avail. Each month there are around 10,000 license plates available. At the most recent auction on Saturday, Li said the final price was 80,600 yuan ($13,000) -- around three times the price of a cheap Chinese car and a third of what Li plans to spend on his SUV. It's possible to get a temporary license, but that has to be renewed every month, and Li says he doesn't want to use a huangniu, or middleman, some of whom employ hundreds of bidders to obtain the coveted registration. \"I know people who've been trying for more than a year,\" he said. Another option would be to buy a hybrid vehicle that automatically qualifies for a license plate -- a selling point not lost on the car manufacturers showing their latest models and concepts at the Shanghai Auto Show this week. Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo all launched gasoline-electric hybrids for the Chinese market at the show, while Chinese manufacturer BYD has been an early pioneer of electric and hybrid cars. \"The infrastructure (charging stations) for electric vehicles is not quite there yet but that's the advantage of a hybrid -- you can have both,\" said Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson. But Chinese drivers haven't wholeheartedly embraced the concept. Even though China overtook the United States as the world's largest car market in 2009, sales of electric and hybrid vehicles, while increasing quickly, still lag behind the U.S., where more than 100,000 were sold last year. And it's thought many are sold to local authorities and state industries, which are responding to central government directives. Few Chinese have American-style garages where the vehicles can be charged overnight. Li said he thought it would be inconvenient. \"I don't want a hybrid car. I thought maybe a Tesla but it's too expensive,\" he said, referring to the hyper luxury electric sports car developed by Elon Musk that has seen weak sales in China. For others, the hassles of buying and owning a car have become too much and some affluent city dwellers are spurning cars.

Stancil is accused of killing an employee Monday at Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Relatives have said victim Ron Lane was gay, CNN affiliate WNCN reported, and investigators are looking into whether the shooting was a hate crime. Authorities arrested Stancil after he was found sleeping on a Florida beach on Tuesday. Just a few minutes into Thursday's hearing on the first-degree murder charge he faces, Stancil snapped back at the judge after he was offered a court-appointed lawyer. \"No, I don't need one,\" said Stancil, who stood before the judge with his legs shackled and his arms handcuffed in front of him. \"You know what I'm saying? I knew I would get life anyway.\" Superior Court Judge Arnold O. Jones interjected, pointing out that the maximum sentence Stancil faces is the death penalty. \"Yes, I know that,\" Stancil fired back. \"But when I knew what I had to do and I knew when I got caught, you know, I knew in my mind that I could get life, I could get the death penalty. You know what I'm saying? Do you follow my topic? I would have killed you, you know what I'm saying, if you're a f---ing child molester.\" The judge told him not to swear. \"I don't give a f--- what you want,\" Stancil said, lunging forward and lifting up the table in front of him. Deputies quickly corralled him and hustled him from the courtroom. The hearing resumed about 25 minutes later, when Stancil was brought back into the courtroom, this time with his arms handcuffed behind him. When asked again by Jones whether he wanted a lawyer, his response was quick -- and calm. \"Yes, sir,\" he said. In an interview with CNN affiliate WRAL, Stancil described himself as a neo-Nazi and said he hates gay people \"with a passion.\" Stancil had worked for Lane, the school's print shop operator, as part of a work-study program, but was let go from the program in early March because of poor attendance, college officials said. During the interview, and during a court appearance in Florida on Tuesday, Stancil said Lane deserved to die, accusing him of being a child molester who'd made advances in online messages to Stancil's 16-year-old brother. Lane's family has described those accusations as untrue and slanderous. His cousin, Steve Smith, told WRAL that Lane never made sexual advances toward children or anyone with whom he worked.

+{"article": "(CNN)UltraHaptics is a young company with a big dream: changing the way we interact with electronic devices. Their technology creates tactile three-dimensional shapes literally out of thin air, using ultrasound. The company's tagline says it all: \"Feeling without touching.\" Through an emission of sound waves, sensations are projected through the air and to the user. Changes in air pressure are perceived as suspended tactile surfaces, creating invisible -- but tangible -- interfaces. This already sounds quite intriguing, but paired with another rising technology it has the potential to become a game changer. The rising tide of virtual reality seems unstoppable: Facebook's Oculus Rift and Magic Leap are leading the pack, but several other companies are readying devices in a field that could shake the foundations of electronic entertainment. But even though it is incredibly convincing, virtual reality completely bypasses the sense of touch: applying UltraHaptics' technology to it would allow users to not just see the virtual world projected in front of their eyes, but to touch it as well. Tom Carter, UltraHaptics' CTO, sees potential in the merging of these technologies: \"The ability to put on your virtual reality goggles and not just explore visually and through your headphones, but also touch what you can see, is a really exciting possibility,\" he told CNN's Nick Glass. Creating buttons and shapes literally anywhere they're needed opens up a slew of possibilities for more traditional devices as well. \"Imagine the dashboard of a car having no buttons, no switches, no ugly controls: just a very nice, sleek dashboard. \"If you're driving and you want to have the music up for example, you don't have to take your eyes off the road, you just hold your hand out and the controls stick to your hand, so you can feel them.\" Smartphones and other popular devices could also see benefits: controlling appliances in the kitchen, using TVs and computers in a style reminiscent of the movie \"Minority report\", or even snoozing the alarm in the morning would all become just a matter of waving your hands. (This probably wouldn't be the most virtuous application of the technology.) Several devices can already be controlled with gestures, but UltraHaptics add an extra layer of feedback, by generating the sensation of a force field: \"Haptics is more than just the sense of touch. It's really all of the information that you get from the sense of touch. What you're feeling, what sort of pressure, the tactile sensation given by an object or surface. You also know where your limbs are and how they're moving, all from the sense of touch. It's all this information that cues how you're interacting with the world,\" Carter said. To create their invisible buttons, UltraHaptics use a small collection of ultrasonic speakers, concentrating the sound waves to a specific point. Sound travels through air by creating a pressure differential, so by focusing several of these differentials to a target location, the result is a single localized spot of high pressure. \"If you put your hand in the way, it actually emits enough of", "summary": "A company called UltraHaptics has developed a technology to create 3D shapes in mid-air .

But his vision spans beyond Africa, and Earth -- Thakkar was the first African to sign up for the opportunity to travel to space with Richard Branson's company, Virgin Galactic. CNN's Marketplace Africa spoke to Thakkar about African innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration. An edited version of the interview follows. CNN: You are active in several African countries. How is the current business landscape on the continent? Ashish Thakkar: Right now in the last 18 years I have been active on the continent, I have never seen so much global excitement around Africa that I've seen today. The climate and the ease of doing business on the continent has drastically improved. Unfortunately, it's one of those cases where perception is so different from reality. The reality on the ground is so much better than the perception. You've got to remember, as Africa, we are 54 countries. Some of the countries may be challenging and may have issues, but that cannot be an excuse to generalize the entire continent which is unfortunately something that happens quite a bit. CNN: Why do you think that entrepreneurs are so important to the future growth of the African continent? AT: We have a very young demographic -- 85% of our populations are under the age of 35. We have an extremely entrepreneurial society and culture. Yet, entrepreneurship is not in the education system. Where do our entrepreneurs go for advice and the right guidance? And it's something, frankly, that I am extremely passionate about, because the answer to unemployment is not foreign direct investment or large scale manufacturing plants, etc. It's going to be nurturing small and medium enterprises. So, it's great to see that there is a real entrepreneurial vibe coming into the system, and innovation is totally embedded into that. CNN: What is it about Africa that encourages innovation? AT: The biggest advantage we have at the moment, and you've seen this with mobile phone penetration, is that we don't have legacy systems. We didn't have landlines and we didn't need them. We didn't have to go through that hassle of creating landlines everywhere. We leapfrogged straight into mobile telephony.

+{"article": "(CNN)A door bearing a graffiti drawing by British artist Banksy was seized by police in Gaza on Thursday after a dispute over its sale, a Gaza police official told CNN on Thursday. The owner of the door, Rabea Darduna, filed a complaint with a Gaza court stating that, without realizing its value, he sold the door for just $175 U.S. The iron door will remain in the possession of the Khan Younis police in southern Gaza until a court hearing at a date yet to be determined. When Darduna's Gaza home was destroyed in last summer's war, he says he felt he was left with nothing. Only a doorway and a door. He sold the door to bring in some money to care for his six children, not realizing the prize he had. \"We sold it as we would sell an iron door,\" Darduna said Monday, \"for $175. And the man took it.\" Darduna says he was duped into believing the door was a normal door when it was really a canvas for Banksy, one of the world's most famous graffiti artists, who had painted a Greek goddess with her head in her hand. The door was likely worth a small fortune -- a fortune Darduna gave away for a fraction of its value. \"Things started becoming clear that the artist is worldwide famous, and he drew it secretly,\" said Darduna. \"[The buyer] used us. My house is demolished. We're destroyed emotionally. We ask him to return the door.\" Banksy's graffiti in Gaza has become an attraction after he visited in February and painted a series of political messages. His works adorn walls and homes turning rubble into riches. Some of Banksy's art has sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Banksy has never revealed his identity, but he is an English graffiti artist who began displaying his work in the early 1990s. His street art often portrays political and social messages. Mohammed Alshanbari says he's had offers for Banksy's portrait of a cat playing with a ball of mangled metal, but he refuses to sell. In text accompanying the image on his official website, Banksy wrote: \"A local man came up and said 'Please -- what does this mean?' I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website -- but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens.\" Alshanbari says he's looking after the mural on the wall where his house once stood. \"A lot of people showed up and people asked to buy it, but I'm keeping it, and I won't sell it,\" he says. \"It's a graffiti from the most famous artist in the world, and I can't give it away.

+{"article": "(CNN)The mass killings of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, which began 100 years ago Friday, is said by some scholars and others to have been the first genocide of the 20th century, even though the word \"genocide\" did not exist at the time. The issue of whether to call the killings a genocide is emotional, both for Armenians, who are descended from those killed, and for Turks, the heirs to the Ottomans. For both groups, the question touches as much on national identity as on historical facts. Some Armenians feel their nationhood cannot be fully recognized unless the truth of what happened to their forebears is acknowledged. Some Turks still view the Armenians as having been a threat to the Ottoman Empire in a time of war, and say many people of various ethnicities -- including Turks -- were killed in the chaos of war. In addition, some Turkish leaders fear that acknowledgment of a genocide could lead to demands for huge reparations. So, what do we know about happened in those fateful days? Here are some answers: . The Ottoman Turks, having recently entered World War I on the side of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were worried that Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire would offer wartime assistance to Russia. Russia had long coveted control of Constantinople (now Istanbul), which controlled access to the Black Sea -- and therefore access to Russia's only year-round seaports. Many historians agree that the number was about 2 million. However, victims of the mass killings also included some of the 1.8 million Armenians living in the Caucasus under Russian rule, some of whom were massacred by Ottoman forces in 1918 as they marched through East Armenia and Azerbaijan. By 1914, Ottoman authorities were already portraying Armenians as a threat to the empire's security. Then, on the night of April 23-24, 1915, the authorities in Constantinople, the empire's capital, rounded up about 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders. Many of them ended up deported or assassinated. April 24, known as Red Sunday, is commemorated as Genocide Remembrance Day by Armenians around the world. Friday is the 100th anniversary of that day. This is a major point of contention. Estimates range from 300,000 to 2 million deaths between 1914 and 1923, with not all of the victims in the Ottoman Empire. But most estimates -- including one of 800,000 between 1915 and 1918, made by Ottoman authorities themselves -- fall between 600,000 and 1.5 million. Whether due to killings or forced deportation, the number of Armenians living in Turkey fell from 2 million in 1914 to under 400,000 by 1922. Almost any way one can imagine. While the death toll is in dispute, photographs from the era document some mass killings. Some show Ottoman soldiers posing with severed heads, others with them standing amid skulls in the dirt. The victims are reported to have died in mass burnings and by drowning, torture, gas, poison, disease and starvation. Children were reported to have been loaded into boats, taken out to sea and thrown overboard. Rape, too, was", "summary": "The 100th anniversary of the start of the mass killings will be commemorated Friday .

Seconds later, several officers in riot gear rushed out of their line and arrested him, just as a Humvee passed between the camera and the police, making social media churn with questions about what happened to Kent. Attorney Stephen Patrick Beatty confirmed he is representing Kent. He was still trying to get in touch with his client after Kent was released. \"He wanted me to tell people most that he doesn't want violence in his name,\" Beatty told CNN's Don Lemon on Wednesday night. The incident unfolded live on CNN about 40 minutes after the 10 p.m. curfew went into effect and as authorities tried to prevent the kind of rioting -- part of protests over the death of Freddie Gray -- that plagued the city Monday. Kent was being held on a charge of curfew violation, according to the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. People on Twitter continued to circulate the name of Kent, a young activist, making #JosephKent and #WhereIsJosephKent hot topics. Investigators made 10 arrests in Baltimore on Tuesday night, city Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said. Seven were for curfew violations, he said. Beatty said he met with Kent on Wednesday afternoon. \"He said he's physically OK, not injured. He's safe in there,\" Beatty said. But even though more than 100 people who had been held at the city's booking center were released earlier in the day, Kent was not one of them. Beatty initially checked on Kent's status, despite not officially representing him. He said Kent was just trying to help with getting people to go home when he was arrested. \"He went out there to try to settle things down because he had seen what happened in this city previously,\" Beatty said. \"And the last thing he wanted was any more violence, and he was trying to stop it.\" Kent once was employed as an intern, through an outside company, at Morgan State University's Entrepreneurial Development and Assistance Center, the school said Wednesday.

The deputies were trying to arrest Harris when Reserve Deputy Robert Bates shot him.

Sheriff Stanley Glanz didn't specify the nature of the threats, but said he was \"very concerned\" for their safety and that of their families.

Glanz indicated he has not yet decided how to proceed with a review of their actions, saying any action may be delayed until after the court case involving Bates has been settled. Bates is charged with second-degree manslaughter in Harris' death. Bates, who is free on $25,000 bond pending trial, shot Harris with his handgun after calling out, \"Taser, Taser,\" -- an indication he planned to use a stun gun to subdue Harris following a brief foot chase with the other deputies.

Kim also could have had the chance to rub elbows with the heads of about 30 other governments, including the leaders of China, Cuba, India, Germany, Vietnam and Venezuela. This number represents about half the world leaders that Russia has said it invited to the celebrations. Kim's trip had been anticipated since late December, when Russian state media reported that Moscow had extended an invitation. There was no further explanation, from Moscow or Pyongyang, as to why he wouldn't head west. Still, North Korea has a number of issues it's been wrestling with for years. They include widespread poverty, its longstanding spat with neighboring South Korea and the United States, as well as its international isolation largely due to its controversial nuclear program. And news about Kim's non-visit comes a day after South Korean intelligence agents told lawmakers that Kim is ruling with an iron fist, having ordered the execution of about 15 senior officials so far this year. CNN cannot independently confirm the executions detailed by Shin Kyung-min, a lawmaker with the New Politics Alliance for Democracy who attended the closed briefing. And the nature of the intelligence supporting the allegations was not immediately clear. That said, North Korea is one of the most closed societies in the world. And there's little doubt that Kim is very much in charge. According to Shin, intelligence officials say the North Korean leader is ruling in an impromptu manner and does not countenance excuses or any views that vary with his own.

+{"article": "(CNN)A sexual harassment complaint has been filed against New Zealand Prime Minister John Key after a waitress complained about him repeatedly pulling her ponytail at an Auckland cafe. CNN affiliate TVNZ reported that the complaint was filed Thursday morning by Graham McCready, an accountant described in the New Zealand press as a \"serial litigant,\" who has previously launched private prosecutions against Key. McCready's complaint claimed that Key had breached a section of the country's Human Rights Act relating to sexual harassment, TVNZ reported. It reported that he was seeking considerable compensation for the waitress, 26-year-old Amanda Bailey, and \"if she does not want it I ask for the money be given to Women's Refuge.\" Key publicly apologized to Bailey, a waitress at his local cafe, for repeatedly tugging on her ponytail, after she complained about his behavior in a blog post. The post, published on New Zealand political website The Daily Blog, says that the odd behavior began during last year's election season. It was \"hardly an acceptable form of greeting,\" Bailey wrote. She wrote that while she didn't directly make her objections clear verbally, her body language \"screamed 'I don't like that.'\" \"As he approached me, he thought it would be fitting to raise his hands high and make scary, suspense sound effects, like the music from the movie 'Jaws',\" read the post. \"As he towered overhead I slunk down, cringing, whilst (Key's wife) Bronagh told him to 'Leave the poor girl alone.'\" The behavior carried on for a number of months and on several occasions, the post states. Eventually the cafe's manager made it clear to Key that his actions were unwelcome. Key, who regularly visits the Auckland cafe with his wife, told reporters that his behavior was in the context of \"a bit of banter,\" but said that he had apologized when it was clear she had taken offense. The blog post says that the prime minister offered the offended waitress two bottles of his own JK 2012 Pinot Noir wine by way of apology. \"We have lots of fun and games there, there's always lots of practical jokes and things. It's a very warm and friendly relationship,\" he told reporters in Los Angeles en route to ANZAC day commemorations in Gallipoli, Turkey. \"But if you look at it now, no. When I realized she took offense by that I just sort of immediately went back, gave her some wine, apologized and said I was terribly sorry.\" Politicians and public figures also rounded on Key, with Green MP Metiria Turei saying that the prime minister should be held to the same standards of behavior as the rest of the electorate. \"A lot of New Zealanders know what it's like to feel as if you're not taken seriously in a job. As politicians, our job is to make people feel safe at work, not bullied,\" New Zealand media reported her as saying. \"It's a sign of how out of touch John Key has become when he can't even monitor how inappropriate his personal behavior is, and when people are not", "summary": "A sexual harassment complaint has been filed against PM John Key after a waitress complained about him repeatedly pulling her ponytail .

But the gas station owner never made it on a flight back to his home Hayward, California. Family members have identified him as a victim killed in mortar strike last week in the southern Yemeni city of Aden. He is believed to be the first U.S. citizen killed in the current violence in Yemen. Early Tuesday evening, the 45-year-old al-Labani was on his way back from mosque prayers when he was hit in the back by shrapnel from a mortar shell, his family said. He died minutes later. Violence quickly escalated in Yemen soon afer al-Labani arrived in February. \"When he got (to Aden), after a few weeks he noticed things were starting to get bad and then the (U.S.) Embassy closed,\" his cousin Mohammed Alazzani told CNN. For the past three weeks, al-Labani had told family members he was concerned about not being able to evacuate as the situation deteriorated in the country, according to his cousin. More than 200 people have been killed in Aden in the past 11 days, according to Naef Al Bakri, Aden's deputy governor. Two days before al-Labani was killed, he told his family the last option was to try to cross the border into Oman and fly to Egypt, but he never made it. \"The airports got closed and things got worse and worse,\" Alazzani told CNN by phone. \"People were hoping things would get better, but they only got worse and worse.\" Yemen has been rocked by violence and political turmoil for months. Houthi rebels -- minority Shiites who have long complained of being marginalized in the majority Sunni country -- forced Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi from power in January, placing him under house arrest and taking over Sanaa, the country's capital. Hadi escaped in February, fled to the southern city of Aden and said he remained President. He fled to Saudi Arabia last month as the rebels and their military allies advanced on Aden. Now the violence is intensifying as Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations target the rebels in Yemen with airstrikes. Yemeni-Americans are trapped in the conflict, but haven't gotten enough help from the U.S. government, the Council on American-Islamic Relations told CNN Sunday. Zahra Billoo, a spokeswoman for the advocacy group, said it's helping al-Labani's family and the families of other Yemeni-Americans. \"All of these other governments, Russia, China, Ethiopia, India ... they have all been evacuating their citizens. So to say that it's impossible for the U.S. to evacuate their citizens is difficult to grasp,\" Billoo said. Responding to the criticism, the U.S. State Department told CNN that there are no current plans to evacuate private U.S. citizens from Yemen. \"We encourage all U.S. citizens to shelter in a secure location until they are able to depart safely.

+{"article": "(CNN)Five years after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and unleashed the largest marine oil spill in the nation's history, we are still experiencing -- yet only beginning to truly understand -- its profound environmental and economic repercussions. The immediate aftermath of the oil spill has been well documented, with declines in tourism and the seafood industry, as well as the significant destruction of wildlife in the region. Since then, the amount of oil in the area has dissipated and communities have started to show signs of recovery. In fact, reports indicate that the Gulf of Mexico's seafood industry, which supplies the United States with roughly 40% of its seafood, is finally starting to rebound. However, profound challenges remain, in part because so many questions about the long-term consequences remain unanswered. To this day, it's still unclear where all of the oil went, exactly how much remains or whether the reappearance of wildlife is a result of adaptation or a signal that the crisis is truly abating. One of the populations that can provide insight into these questions is the Gulf crab. Crabs play an important role in the region: Roughly 60 million pounds were fished in the Gulf in 2012, earning tens of millions in revenue. Yet in the aftermath of the spill, changes to crustacean communities in the area were quite apparent to the naked eye. Researchers documented substantial differences in appearance, and deformities in crabs that were affected by the spill including lesions so numerous they ate through the joints, forcing limbs to fall off. These traits have affected not only the crabs' market value but also likely their ability to survive. While these changes in outward appearance have dissipated in the short-term, the health of these crabs could still be precarious. I have been working with colleagues at Florida International University and University of Louisiana at Lafayette to better understand what might be happening biologically inside the crab when it is exposed to oil and the dispersant used to respond to the spill. Using the power of genomics and computational biology, we analyzed the genes of flat back mud crabs that were exposed to oil from the Macondo Prospect where the Deepwater Horizon rig was drilling when it exploded or to a combination of oil and dispersant in the lab. By studying gene expression, the process that turns information from a gene into a product that functions within a cell, we searched for indicators that might signal exposure to oil and, based on the types of changes we might see, clues as to how the crabs respond. Although we are still in the early stages of our research, we are seeing significant differences in gene expression connected to exposure -- meaning the crabs are turning some genes on or off in response to oil and dispersant. We are still working to determine whether these changes impact their ability to survive and reproduce. It's not just Gulf crabs that are experiencing changes.

+{"article": "(CNN)For 12 years Adelma Cifuentes felt worthless, frightened and alone, never knowing when her abusive husband would strike. But as a young mother in rural Guatemala with three children and barely a third grade education, she thought there was no way out. What began as psychological torment, name-calling and humiliation turned into beatings so severe Cifuentes feared for her life. One day, two men sent by her husband showed up at her house armed with a shotgun and orders to kill her. They probably would have succeeded, but after the first bullet was fired, Cifuentes' two sons dragged her inside. Still, in her deeply conservative community, it took neighbors two hours to call for help and Cifuentes lost her arm. But the abuse didn't stop there. When she returned home, Cifuentes' husband continued his attacks and threatened to rape their little girl unless she left. That's when the nightmare finally ended and her search for justice began. Cifuentes' case is dramatic, but in Guatemala, where nearly 10 out of every 100,000 women are killed, it's hardly unusual. A 2012 Small Arms Survey says gender-based violence is at epidemic levels in Guatemala and the country ranks third in the killings of women worldwide. According to the United Nations, two women are killed there every day. There are many reasons why, beginning with the legacy of violence left in place after the country's 36-year-old civil war. During the conflict, atrocities were committed against women, who were used as a weapon of war. In 1996, a ceasefire agreement was reached between insurgents and the government. But what followed and what remains is a climate of terror, due to a deeply entrenched culture of impunity and discrimination. Military and paramilitary groups that committed barbaric acts during the war were integrated back into society without any repercussions. Many remain in power, and they have not changed the way they view women. Some 200,000 people were either killed or disappeared during the decades-long conflict, most of them from indigenous Mayan populations. Nearly 20 years later, according to the Security Sector Reform Resource Centre, levels of violent crime are higher in Guatemala than they were during the war. But despite the high homicide rate, the United Nations estimates 98% of cases never make it to court. Women are particularly vulnerable because of a deep-rooted gender bias and culture of misogyny. In many cases, femicide -- the killing of a woman simply because of her gender -- is carried out with shocking brutality with some of the same strategies used during the war, including rape, torture and mutilation. Mexican drug cartels, organized criminal groups and local gangs are contributing to the vicious cycle of violence and lawlessness. Authorities investigating drug-related killings are stretched thin, leaving fewer resources to investigate femicides. In many cases, crime is not reported because of fear of retaliation. Many consider the Guatamalen National Civil Police, or PNC, corrupt, under-resourced and ineffective. Even if a case does get prosecuted, according to Human Rights Watch, the country's weak judicial system has proved incapable of handling the explosion in", "summary": "Gender-based violence is at epidemic levels in Guatemala .

+{"article": "(CNN)The investigation into the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 has not revealed evidence of the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz's motive, but he suffered from suicidal tendencies at some point before his aviation career, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Dusseldorf, Germany, said Monday. Investigators have not found any writings or conversations where Lubitz shared his motives or confessed to any plans, prosecutor's spokesman Christoph Kumpa said. However, medical records reveal that Lubitz was suicidal at one time and underwent psychotherapy. This was before he ever got his pilot's license, Kumpa said. Kumpa emphasized there's no evidence suggesting Lubitz was suicidal or acting aggressively before the crash. It is believed that Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the plane Tuesday into the French Alps, killing all 150 on board. The prosecutor's office confirmed what some media outlets had reported about doctors deeming Lubitz unfit to fly, though there were no physical illnesses found. In short, investigators in Germany and France are not yet ruling anything out. Much attention has focused on Lubitz's state of mind, with suggestions that he may have had mental health issues. Lubitz, 27, passed his annual pilot recertification medical examination in summer 2014, a German aviation source told CNN. He had stated working as a commercial pilot in 2013, Lufthansa said. An official with Lufthansa, which owns Germanwings, said that the exam only tests physical health, not psychological health. It's unknown if Lubitz mentioned his problems on a form that asks yes-or-no questions about physical and mental illness, suicide attempts and medications. European pilots must fill out the form to be recertified. Federal aviation authorities, not the airline, issue the form. The form is privileged information and Lufthansa never sees a pilot's completed form, said an airline spokesperson. The airline would only get a \"clear to fly\" notice from the aviation doctors alerting the airline that a pilot has completed recertification. Lubitz had visited an eye doctor because of vision problems, a European government official familiar with the investigation told CNN. The pilot complained he was not seeing as he should, but the doctor told him the cause was psychosomatic, the official said. In part because of this, the doctor deemed Lubitz unfit for flying. Lubitz told a different doctor -- a neuropsychologist -- that he was too stressed with work, the European official said. The dates of these visits are unclear, but they could have been earlier this year. The official said he is not aware of any suicidal tendencies reported by Lubitz to the doctors, but that investigators believe he was suicidal. Airline officials have said that if Lubitz went to a doctor on his own, he would have been required to self-report if deemed unfit to fly. A Dusseldorf clinic said he'd gone there twice, most recently on March 10, \"concerning a diagnosis.\" But the University Clinic said it had not treated Lubitz for depression. The speculation about Lubitz' mental state is based on a letter found in a waste bin in his Dusseldorf apartment.

Yashasvi Yadav, Senior Superintendent of police in Lucknow, northern India, told CNN the city's force has bought four drones and is in the process of purchasing one more. \"The drones have been tested in controlled conditions,\" he said. \"They have been very successful and will be used by the Lucknow police whenever there are violent protests or mob attacks.\" The miniature aircraft will be fitted with a camera and pepper spray; each drone costs between $9,560 and $19,300, Yadav added. Views on the new measure are mixed, with some concerned about the suppression of freedom of speech -- an already contentious issue in India. Last month, the country failed to enforce a law that would allow authorities to arrest people who post offensive material on social media. Others believe the country could learn from events further afield. Some say this method of crowd control needs regulation too. Questions have also been raised as to why the police are resorting to aggression. \"While I think it is bound to fail if not be another scam in the making, it also shows the mindset of the administration to not use dialogue and mediation to solve problems but use authoritarian and forceful methods,\" photojournalist Chirag Wakaskar in Mumbai told CNN. \"What they could do is start by having video surveillance in sensitive areas and have swifter justice.\" Protests are a common occurrence in India, a country with a population of 1.2 billion; Lucknow, the capital of the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, also used drone cameras to monitor crowds at a recent religious festival. As well as being used as a security measure in other cities including Delhi and Mumbai, the unmanned, airborne vehicles have been used in tiger hunts, disaster relief and criminal investigations -- and even pizza deliveries. Reports suggest that the drone surveillance will be officially launched by the Chief Minister of Lucknow, Akhilesh Yadav, later this month.

As attacks against foreigners and their businesses rage on, killing at least six people this week, other nations in the continent are scrambling to evacuate their citizens from South Africa. But this is not the first time xenophobic violence has exploded in a country that tries to portray itself as a diverse \"rainbow\" nation. They started after Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini said at a recent gathering that foreigners \"should pack their bags and go\" because they are taking jobs from citizens, local media reported. Shortly after his comments, violence against immigrants erupted in the port city of Durban. His office has denied he made the comments, saying journalists misquoted him. While kings are mostly ceremonial figures in the nation, they are influential in their communities. But the United Nations said the attacks started in March after a labor dispute between citizens and foreign workers. Some citizens have accused African immigrants of taking their already scarce jobs, undermining businesses owned by locals and contributing to a high crime rate. The nation's unemployment rate is about 25%, according to government figures. But resentment over porous borders, growing crime rates, poverty and corruption are also a major concern, analysts say. President Jacob Zuma has said his government is addressing the social and economic concerns. But he said immigrants contribute to the nation's economy and bring skills that are in demand, and should not be stereotyped as criminals. \"While some foreign nationals have been arrested for various crimes, it is misleading and wrong to label or regard all foreign nationals as being involved in crime in the country,\" Zuma said. The nation has about 2 million documented and undocumented immigrants, which is about 4% of the total population, according to a study by the University of the Witwatersrand. Zimbabweans make up the largest group of immigrants. Also, South Africa is a top travel destination for wealthy Africans because of its proximity and developed infrastructure. Yes. This is the latest in a series of attacks that date back years. In January, looters burned businesses owned by foreigners in another wave of xenophobic attacks. In addition, there were other incidents of violence last year, Human Rights Watch said. Seven years ago, Johannesburg was the epicenter of more anti-immigrant tensions that left dozens dead in attacks that later spread to Cape Town. Most of the victims were Zimbabweans who had fled repression and dire economic circumstances. In those attacks, police arrested more than 200 people on various charges, including rape, murder, robbery and theft. In 2006, xenophobic violence broke out again for several months in Cape Town. Victims of xenophobic attacks have been from various African nations, including Nigeria, Somalia and Ethiopia. African nations have condemned the attacks. Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe are just a few of the countries evacuating their citizens from South Africa.

Some scientists are saying \"The Blob\" could be playing a factor. As monikers go, the blob doesn't sound very worrisome. But if you're a salmon fisherman in Washington or a California resident hoping to see the end of the drought, the blob could become an enemy of top concern. A University of Washington climate scientist and his associates have been studying the blob -- a huge area of unusually warm water in the Pacific -- for months. \"In the fall of 2013 and early 2014 we started to notice a big, almost circular mass of water that just didn't cool off as much as it usually did, so by spring of 2014 it was warmer than we had ever seen it for that time of year,\" said Nick Bond, who works at the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean in Seattle, Washington. Bond, who gave the blob its name, said it was 1,000 miles long, 1,000 miles wide and 100 yards deep in 2014 -- and it has grown this year. And it's not the only one; there are two others that emerged in 2014, Nate Mantua of the Southwest Fisheries Science Center -- part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) -- said in September. One is in the Bering Sea and the other is off the coast of Southern California. Waters in the blob have been warmer by about 5.5 degrees, a significant rise. A recent set of studies published in Geophysical Research Letters by Bond's group points to a high-pressure ridge over the West Coast that has calmed ocean waters for two winters. The result was more heat staying in the water because storms didn't kick up and help cool the surface water. \"The warmer temperatures we see now aren't due to more heating, but less winter cooling,\" a recent news release from the University of Washington announcing the studies said. The university has worked with NOAA on the research. According to New Scientist magazine, some marine species are exploring the warmer waters, leading some fish to migrate hundreds of miles from their normal habitats. The magazine cited fisherman and wildlife officials in Alaska who have seen skipjack tuna and thresher sharks. Pygmy killer whales have been spotted off the coast of Washington. \"I've never seen some of these species here before,\" Bill Peterson of the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle told the New Scientist. And he was worried about the adult Pacific salmon that normally feed on tiny crustaceans and other food sources that are not around in the same numbers off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. \"They had nothing to eat,\" he told the magazine of last year's conditions in the blob.

+{"article": "(CNN)Mountaineers have returned to Mount Everest for this year's climbing season, resuming the quest to summit the world's highest peak after a deadly season last year. In 2014, the Nepal climbing season ended after a piece of glacial ice fell, unleashing an avalanche that killed 16 Nepalis who had just finished their morning prayers. The April 18 accident was the single deadliest incident to ever occur on Mount Everest. The deaths launched fierce debates about the enormous risks faced by the Sherpas and the dangers of climbing Everest. In order to reduce risks, the route through Khumbu Icefall, the notoriously treacherous path where the 16 were killed, has been changed to one that takes longer but is expected to be safer. \"They're going in the icefall and, as we found out on April 18, it's the most dangerous place,\" said Conrad Anker, a veteran climber who has been to Everest three times. \"They're exposed to the tumbling ice, hanging seracs above it. It's very, very dangerous. It's the most dangerous place I've been in the mountains.\" At this point in the season, climbing teams have not yet entered Khumbu Icefall, which is essentially a frozen river rapid with jagged pieces breaking off and moving. Nepal has issued 347 permits this year to climb Mount Everest, with 125 of them from the previously shortened season, according to the Nepal Ministry of Tourism. It's a slight increase from the 334 who were given permission last year. The local Nepalese committee that determines the path up Everest announced in February that a different route had been selected. The climbers will now take a central route through the Khumbu Icefall, avoiding the area where the deaths occurred. The committee comprised of Sherpas voted to return to the central route for safety reasons. \"There will be little risk of avalanche than in the right or left,\" said Yangji Doma Sherpa, the spokeswoman for the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee. The central route had been used in the 1990s, but was abandoned in favor of a quicker route, she said. The new path means climbers will have to cross more crevasses, and use more vertical and horizontal ladders. The committee issued a recommendation that the weight of workers' gear be limited to avoid overloading the ladders. \"I think it will be an hour longer on the icefall,\" said Alan Arnette, who is blogging from Everest base camp this season. \"I don't think it will be game changer.\" But one company, Alpenglow Expeditions, said it would stop climbing from the Nepal side, where the climbers have to go through the icefall, in favor of the northern route from China. \"We've seen it get progressively more dangerous over the last few years,\" said Adrian Ballinger, the company's founder and CEO. \"We believe the risk is too great for our workers.\" According to the China Tibet Mountaineering Association, 320 people have been registered to climb the northern route to Everest this year.

+{"article": "(CNN)\"A long, long, time ago...\" Those five words, when uttered or sung, makes baby boomers immediately think of Don McLean's pop masterpiece \"American Pie.\" It's hard to believe that his phenomenal 8\u00bd minute allegory, which millions of Americans know by heart, is 44 years old. All sorts of historical cross-currents play off each other in this timeless song, brilliantly gilded with the unforgettable chorus, which starts as \"Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie.\" There is no real way to categorize McLean's \"American Pie\" for its hybrid of modern poetry and folk ballad, beer-hall chant and high-art rock. On Tuesday, Christie's sold the 16-page handwritten manuscript of the song's lyrics for $1.2 million to an unnamed buyer. McLean was a paperboy when, on February 3, 1959, he saw that Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. \"The Big Bopper\" Richardson had been tragically killed in an airplane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa. \"The next day I went to school in shock and guess what?\" McLean recalled. \"Nobody cared. Rock 'n' roll in those days was sort of like hula hoops and Buddy hadn't had a big hit on the charts since '57.\" By cathartically writing \"American Pie,\" McLean has guaranteed that the memory of those great musicians lives forever. Having recorded his first album, \"Tapestry,\" in 1969, in Berkeley, California, during the student riots, McLean, a native New Yorker, became a kind of weather vane for what he called the \"generation lost in space.\" When his cultural anthem \"American Pie\" was released in November 1971, it replaced Bob Dylan's \"The Times They Are A Changin\" as the Peoples Almanac of the new decade. It's important to think of \"American Pie\" as one would of Henry Longfellow's \"Evangeline\" or Johnny Mercer's \"Moon River\" -- an essential Americana poem emanating wistful recollection, blues valentine, and youthful protest rolled into one. There is magic brewing in the music and words of \"American Pie,\" for McLean's lyrics and melody frame a cosmic dream, like those Jack Kerouac tried to conjure in his poetry-infused novel \"On the Road.\" Don McLean: Buddy Holly, rest in peace . Influenced by Pete Seeger and the Weavers, McLean proudly wore the mantle of troubadour in the early 1970s, when \"American Pie\" topped the Billboard charts, and has never shed the cape. Wandering far and wide, singing \"American Pie\" at windblown dance halls in Wyoming and cloistered colleges in New England, at huge amphitheaters in California and little coffee houses in the Hudson River Valley, McLean has performed his global anthem thousands of times. Yet the encore number never loses its transfixing allure. When McLean prods audiences by rhapsodizing \"and they were singing\" everybody spontaneously joins in with the \"Bye, Bye\" chorus. Watching McLean deliver his most notable song in concert is to take part in a collective Happening. What makes \"American Pie\" so unusual is that it isn't a relic from the counterculture but a talisman, which, like a sacred river, keeps bringing joy to listeners everywhere. When \"American Pie\" suddenly is played on a jukebox or radio it's almost impossible not to sing", "summary": "Manuscript of \"American Pie\" lyrics is sold to unnamed buyer for $1.2 million .

Critics have expressed alarm at the move, with Human Rights Watch's Asia director Brad Adams saying it marked the country's \"deepening descent into dictatorship.\" Martial law was lifted Wednesday when the Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej approved a request from Prime Minister General Prayuth Chan-ocha to proceed. Prayuth -- head of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) junta -- immediately invoked Article 44 of the country's interim constitution \"to curb acts deemed harmful to national peace and stability.\" Article 44 states, in wide-ranging terms, that when the head of the junta believes it is necessary in the name of public harmony or to prevent the undermining of national security, then he has the power to act as deemed necessary. According to a statement issued by the NCPO, the new order grants military personnel powers to issue summons and arrest those who commit crimes against the royal family or against national stability, who commit crimes involving war weaponry, or who violate the orders of the NCPO. Designated military personnel were granted powers to seize assets, to block media from reporting or publishing, and to detain suspects up to seven days, the statement said. Unauthorized political gatherings of more than five people were banned, while those who defied NCPO orders could be imprisoned for up to a year, it said. Those who were detained could not leave the country without the approval of the head of the NCPO. Human Rights Watch said in a statement that the new security order would allow Prayuth \"to issue orders without administrative, legislative, or judicial oversight or accountability.\" \"Thailand's friends abroad should not be fooled by this obvious sleight of hand by the junta leader to replace martial law with a constitutional provision that effectively provides unlimited and unaccountable powers,\" Adams said in a statement. Sunai Phasuk, Human Rights Watch's senior researcher on Thailand, told CNN the move would see Prayuth \"become a strongman with ultimate power in his hands to wield as he wishes.\" \"This is a dangerous indication that the junta is not going to keep its promise to restore democracy and respect for human rights in Thailand,\" he said.

Her son Julian Lennon was at her bedside throughout,\" his website says. \"The family are thankful for your prayers. Please respect their privacy at this difficult time.\" John and Cynthia Lennon were married for six years, from 1962 to 1968. The pair met at art school, where Cynthia studied to be an illustrator and John practiced painting -- in between concerts with a band that would become the Beatles. \"When we were at art college, I think he was more interested in the music than he was in the art,\" she told ClassicBands.com. Cynthia Lennon, born Cynthia Powell in 1939, was a stabilizing force for the young John, who lost his mother when he was a teenager and was raised by his Aunt Mimi. \"John was always insecure,\" she said in a 2005 interview, having lost his mother at a young age. But his humor -- and his wildness -- were attractive, she told ClassicBands.com. \"He was a rebel. He was outrageous. That was something I hadn't experienced before the age that I was, which was about 16 or 17. I'd had quite a normal, straightforward life,\" she said. \"I was just instantly attracted to him.\" The two married in 1962, just as the Beatles were making their rise. Their son, Julian, was born April 8, 1963. Lennon's sometimes-brittle personality and his overwhelming fame became a challenge for Cynthia. During her pregnancy, \"I was not supposed to be known or heard about. In the wisdom, or lack of wisdom, anything to do with somebody becoming famous, male, was not supposed to be married or have (a) girlfriend.\" She was threatened by fans and occasionally in danger of being left behind in the band's whirlwind; when the group traveled to Bangor, Wales, to meet with the Maharishi in 1967, Cynthia was caught in a scrum and couldn't make the train in time.

+{"article": "Hong Kong (CNN)It's not just Asia. Around the world, we're becoming collectively more near-sighted. Near-sightedness, or myopia, means nearby objects appear clearly, but those farther away look blurry. The rates of myopia have doubled, even tripled, in most of East Asia over the last 40 years, researchers say. Several places like Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan have rates in the 80%. In South Korea, myopia rates among 20-year-olds have leaped from 18% in 1955 to over 96% myopia in 2011. And it's a global issue -- rates of myopia are also rising in Western nations like Germany and the United States. \"It's about 40% in the U.S., compared to about 25% in the 1970s,\" said Dr. Michael Chiang, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. But researchers say reducing risk of myopia is easy, free and readily-available: Get some sunlight. Sometimes, though, the easiest solutions are the hardest to implement. The epidemic of myopia amongst East Asians has triggered cultural questions about why so many young people develop vision problems. Many have long believed that reading, studying or staring at your phone caused short-sightedness. And there's the usual grumblings that young people spend way too much time glued to their screens. But researchers are focusing on a different cause. \"If children get outside enough, it doesn't matter how much they study they do. They don't become myopic,\" said Ian Morgan, researcher at Australian National University. Researchers say kids and teens need to get sunlight during the critical years of their development while their eyeballs are still growing. The mechanics of how sunlight protects their eyes are not clearly understood. One theory suggests that sunlight triggers the release of dopamine in the retina; another speculates that blue light from the sun protects from the condition. The solution is simple. Have kids \"spend more time outside, have less demands (from) the schools and relax a bit,\" said Seang Mei Saw, professor of epidemiology at the National University of Singapore. But studying and play time are often at odds with each other. In Asian cultures where there is heavy emphasis on education and hyper-competitiveness, forcing playtime is easier said than done. \"The problem is teachers and parents are probably not going to let kids,\" said Dr. Nathan Congdon, professor at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center at the Sun Yat Sen University in China. \"There's a limit to how many hours kids can go outside.\" There have been some attempts to protect children's eyesight. In China, students have been mandated by its education ministry to perform daily eye exercises. Since 1963, rows of students sit at their desks and massage the pressure points around their eyes as a revolutionary-era anthem blares through the PA system. Despite these eye exercises, rates of myopia in urban China have soared to nearly 90%, according to recent studies. \"China has among the highest rates of myopia and it's the only country in the world that does eye exercises, so it's probably not working all that well,\" said Congdon.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's easy to be anxious about the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. After all, this is a brutal organization that not only kills but seems to revel in doing so in ways designed to shock the world -- from the beheadings of journalists to burning a Jordanian pilot alive. Such moves are part of this murky group's propaganda and its deliberate efforts to manipulate information. So what can and should we make of the organization? I explore the issue in depth in a special airing Sunday night. And although it's important to start with the caveat that ISIS is indeed trying to scare and confuse us, I took away some tentative lessons from speaking with the people who have traveled inside the minds of ISIS. First, ISIS is clearly about religion -- its version of radical Islam -- but it is also about power. There is increasing evidence that the military backbone of ISIS is made up not by a group of Islamic zealots, but rather high-ranking officers from Saddam Hussein's army -- Baathists who were at least ostensibly secular. An internal ISIS report detailing its organizational structure was reported on last week in the German weekly Der Spiegel. That report describes a group that uses its religious ideology as a recruiting and governing philosophy, much like communism. But underneath it, much like communism, is simply a drive for control, a lust for power. Next, ISIS presents itself as a global organization, but it has thrived because of a local cause. The group has gained territory, cash and recruits primarily because of the rage and rebellion of the Sunnis of Iraq and Syria, who believe they must fight the Shiites to secure their own survival and strength. The reality is that that Sunni cause is going to endure for some time. The United States has been successful in its tactical battles against ISIS and has managed to push the group back from many of its gains in Iraq. But the Sunnis of the region will remain in rebellion and the Sunni-dominated areas will remain in turmoil -- chaos that ISIS will be able to capitalize on this chaos. In the long run, ISIS might very well find that its greatest foes lie within its so-called Caliphate. The few reports that are emerging from areas controlled by ISIS suggest that, unsurprisingly, people do not like living under a brutal, theocratic dictatorship. They live in fear, and even those who chose it as an alternative to Shiite rule are growing disenchanted. In this respect, ISIS is like other radical Islamic groups, such as the Taliban -- they have an allure in the abstract, but once they are actually governing in their medieval, barbarous manner, the allure fades and the disenchantment builds. The result is ever-increasing repression. Remember, no one has ever voted ISIS into power anywhere. The group simply slaughters its way to control. Of course, one of the big questions has been: Is ISIS a threat to the West? The group's leaders declare that it is.

They then carried him out of the ruined building on a stretcher. On Wednesday afternoon, Khanal, 27, had just undergone surgery and was resting, surrounded by family and friends. He had suffered a crushed foot and was too weak and distraught to talk about his traumatic experience. \"It seems he survived by sheer willpower,\" said Akhilesh Shrestha, a doctor who treated Khanal, according to the Reuters news agency. Khanal's story of survival isn't the only one to emerge from the terrible destruction wrought by the quake, which has killed more than 5,000 people. A 4-month-old baby was rescued from a destroyed building in the town of Bhaktapur at least 22 hours after the quake struck, the newspaper Kathmandu Today reported. A Nepali military team had failed to notice the child during its search but returned after his cry was heard, the newspaper said. The little boy, whose name is Sonit Awal, was reported to be in stable condition without any internal injuries, according to initial examinations. CNN hasn't independently confirmed Sonit's rescue, but the newspaper published photos showing the dust-caked infant being lifted by Nepali soldiers in the ruined structure. Tanka Maya Sitoula, a 40-year-old mother of four, was at home in Kathmandu when the earthquake shook the city, bringing the five-story building down around her ground-floor apartment. She endured 36 long hours trapped in a room before an Indian rescue team freed her. She escaped without injury, apparently protected by a beam. Sitoula says she remained confident she would survive amid the rubble. \"I heard people making noise outside, so I thought I would be rescued,\" she said, as she and her family sheltered on the grounds of a nearby school. What did she do for 36 hours? \"I was just lying down,\" she said. \"There was no room to move here and there.\" Sitoula's husband, Mahendra, a butcher, said he called out for help for hours after the quake, as he could hear her shouting in the rubble of the collapsed building. It took 18 hours before the necessary help arrived, he said. And it took another 18 hours to free her.

+{"article": "(CNN)The marriage apocalypse may be coming. Talk to any millennial and you can envision an America virtually marriage-free, with everyone happily single. I did. And I do. Recently, I talked about marriage with a group of journalism students from my alma mater, Kent State University. They came to me for career advice, which I gave them, but I also picked their brains about politics, religion and marriage. Their views on marriage intrigued me the most. 'Cause, guess what? They don't care what your generation thinks -- they'll get married if and when they want. \"I didn't go to college for four years to be a mom,\" 21-year old Candace Monacelli told me. \"There's no housewife degree. I've worked my butt off for four years to get this degree. You want to use it. You want to be successful. You want to have that happy part of your life as well.\" Jackie Demate, also 21, agreed. \"I would have a very hard time justifying spending $20,000 on a wedding when I could go to Europe.\" At first I thought Jackie was kidding. So jokingly, I responded, \"Wow, some people would say, with that attitude, you are undermining the moral foundation of this country!\" Jackie didn't blink. \"But, Europe!\" she exclaimed. \"I'm really looking for a travel buddy. And I don't think you need a wedding ring to prove that you love someone. I see a lot of people get married too soon or stay together and are unhappy because they are afraid to be alone. And I would rather be alone, successful and happy than in a relationship where I'm not happy. ... I'm OK being single forever. As long as I'm happy.\" Before you berate Jackie for prioritizing her love of travel over marriage, consider where she's coming from. A culture rich in divorce. In the United States, almost 42 million adults have been married more than once. That's up from 22 million in 1980 and 14 million in 1960. Percentage-wise, that means that among adults who are currently married, roughly a quarter (23%) have been married before, compared with 13% in 1960. What a fine example my generation is! Not. Still, there are no doubt more than a few parents out there wondering where they went wrong. Especially in light of a fascinating Pew Research report on marriage. When asked if society is just as well off if people have priorities other than marriage and children, 50% of respondents were OK with that. And of that 50%, 66% were adults between 18 and 29. Religious leaders are deeply concerned for moral reasons. Economists are concerned for our collective future. Studies show marriage is correlated with economic well-being, though it is not clear whether the causality arrow goes from marriage toward economic benefit or in the other direction. A study sponsored by the conservative American Enterprise Institute says: \"From an obvious standpoint, households with two adults are likelier to have two incomes, improving well-being.\" On the other hand, the study points out, people who have money may be \"more desirable marriage prospects.\"", "summary": "Carol Costello: Talk to any millennial and you can envision an America virtually marriage-free .

+{"article": "(CNN)Tuesday, April 14, is Equal Pay Day. Here's the announcement presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should make: . \"Today in America, women earn on average 77 cents for every dollar men earn. And the gap is even greater for women of color. That's unconscionable. As president, my top priority will be fixing inequality and ensuring that 100% of the population is paid 100% of what they're worth. And so, I'm announcing that if elected president, I will take a 23% pay cut, equivalent to the current gender wage gap, to stand in solidarity with working women in America. And I won't take a raise until every woman in America gets a raise, too.\" April 14 wasn't just chosen at random as Equal Pay Day. It's based on a calculation: For women to make the same amount of money that men made in 2014, they'd have to work until April 14, 2015. A woman on average loses $431,000 in pay over the course of a 40-year career. Merely closing the gender wage gap would pull half of working single moms out of poverty. And at a time where Republicans are still, bizarrely, trumpeting more tax breaks for business and the rich to stimulate the economy, closing the pay gap would put money in the pockets of working people who would actually spend and stimulate real growth. The new women warriors: Reviving the fight for equal rights . So here's the perfect opportunity for Hillary Clinton to put her money where her mouth is, literally. In her campaign launch and personal rebrand, Clinton is clearly trying to portray herself as a woman of the people, a populist fighter for the middle class. \"Everyday Americans need a champion,\" Clinton said in her campaign launch video, \"and I want to be that champion.\" Clinton has deftly put her finger in the wind and sensed the winds of populism blowing through America. Indeed, the fact that many Democratic voters still clamor for a less pro-war, less pro-Wall Street, more Elizabeth Warren-like alternative to Clinton is an ever-present thorn in the otherwise blooming garden of Clinton's inevitability. Opinion: The myth of Equal Pay Day . With her video, Clinton has signaled a clear desire to ground herself and her candidacy in the soil of populism. But can a wealthy white woman who once sat on the board of Walmart, has already lived in the White House, collects six-figure speaking fees and doesn't seem to own a pair of jeans really inhabit the portrait of a populist fighter? This is where a good ol'-fashioned political stunt would come in handy. And make no mistake about it, I'm recommending a political stunt. Let's call a spade a spade. Hillary Clinton is a very rich person. While she's certainly not the first rich person to run for president, her wealth -- and the related perception of being out of touch with ordinary Americans -- is an obstacle in her candidacy. The difference between the current standard presidential salary of $400,000 a year and the 77 cents-on-the-dollar version of that salary, or $308,000,", "summary": "Sally Kohn: April 14 is Equal Pay Day, and Hillary Clinton should make an announcement about wage gap .

+{"article": "Garissa, Kenya (CNN)Kenyan police have arrested five suspects in connection with Thursday's attack at Garissa University College, Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery said Friday, according to CNN affiliate NTV. Nkaissery told reporters the university will be able to confirm Saturday if everyone has been accounted for. Thursday's attack by al-Shabaab militants killed 147 people, including 142 students, three security officers and two university security personnel. The attack left 104 people injured, including 19 who are in critical condition, Nkaissery said. During search and recovery efforts on Friday, CNN witnessed one male who was not a student hiding under a bed. That male was taken into custody and was being treated as a suspect, sources close to the search told CNN. The find sparked an additional search of the building. Sources said three people, all students, were found alive. A female student was found under a pile of bodies, another female student was hiding in a wardrobe and a male student was hiding in the bathroom, the sources confirmed to CNN. Student Hellen Titus said she survived by fooling the attackers into thinking she was dead. After gunmen shot fellow students, she smeared their blood onto her body to make it seem she'd been shot, too, she told CNN on Friday at a makeshift center for evacuated students. \"In the time of shooting,\" she said, \"they skipped me.\" Most of the victims had been shot from behind, in the back of the head, a medic told CNN. \"They're facing down, always,\" a worker with St. John's ambulance service said Friday. \"They're always facing down, and they're shot in the heads, around the back.\" Al-Shabaab's long, bloody legacy with Kenya . Early Thursday, an explosion and gunfire cut through the morning quiet on the campus about 90 miles (145 kilometers) from Kenya's border with Somalia, tearing many students in dormitories out of their sleep. \"Never heard anything like this,\" journalist Dennis Okari from CNN affiliate NTV tweeted as he watched smoke rising over a student hostel. Al-Shabaab gunmen had first stormed a Christian prayer service, where they killed some and took others hostage. Then they went across campus with them, shooting non-Muslims and sparing Muslims, a witness said. They headed for the hostels. Student Japhet Mwala lay in her bed. \"We were sleeping when we heard a loud explosion that was followed by gunshots, and everyone started running for safety,\" she told Agence France-Presse. Awaking to terror: 'I am lucky to be alive' \"There are those who were not able to leave the hostels where the gunmen headed and started firing. I am lucky to be alive because I jumped through the fence with other students,\" she said. Students ran -- some crawled -- away from the gunfire, Okari said. At one point, the gunmen pinned down a building where 360 students lived, Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery said. Okari took cover outside the campus and listened to explosions and gunfire for four hours. Kenyan security forces moved in and killed four gunmen.

+{"article": "London (CNN)It wasn't messrs Clooney, Pitt and their nine accomplices who sailed down an elevator shaft and cracked open dozens of safety deposit boxes at a London vault during the Easter weekend. But last weekend's raid in the heart of the city's jewelry district feels like it has been taken from a movie like \"Ocean 11\" given its daring and planning. Such robberies are rare: the gang didn't follow the current criminal trend of manipulating digits in cyber space but instead went back to basics and committed their burglary in a way not seen in London for more than 40 years. In September 1971, the staff of a bank in Baker Street, central London, arrived at work to find that thieves had dug a 40-yard tunnel from a shop they had rented, hauled in a thermic lance and explosives and opened the strong room. The gang got away with a haul worth around \u00a330 million (the incident later formed the basis of the movie \"The Bank Job.\") But how are such heists organized? Roy Ramm, a former commander of specialist operations at London's Scotland Yard for 27 years, explains. In the UK burglaries and robberies are often committed by working-class people, people who would otherwise have blue collar jobs. In more than 25 years as a Scotland Yard detective, I never met a Raffles- or a Thomas Crown-style criminal from a middle-class background who had then turned to the hard side of crime. Sophisticated heists like the Hatton Garden raid are generally not a natural progression for burglars who began with smaller domestic break-ins. Many neighborhood criminals commit burglaries to feed drugs habits and acquire long strings of convictions that mean they are always on the police radar. Occasionally, they steal things they can't sell and end up dumping valuable paintings or antiques when they are not able to sell them on quickly. More specialist criminals -- those, for example, who target museums or country houses -- will be very specific and steal only what they know they can quickly convert to untraceable cash. Many of those who commit the bigger crimes or run major criminal enterprises combine high IQs with a kind of raw street intelligence. One of their skills is the ability to recognize a criminal opportunity when it presents itself, possibly from a source of inside information. Probably the biggest difference between any heist you'll see in a movie and its real-life equivalent is the motive. I've never encountered any criminal who committed a high value crime just for the challenge or to prove that it could be done. The only reason has been for the money, often to support a certain lifestyle and to fund other criminal enterprises. Inside information is one way of identifying a criminal opportunity, using people who are able to provide that crucial detail or who will participate in some small way to facilitate the crime. The Brinks MAT robbery in 1983 -- a case which I was involved in at the time -- saw a criminal gang escape with gold bullion worth more", "summary": "Police in London are trying to catch the gang which staged a multi-million heist during the Easter vacation .

In rural China, hiring exotic dancers to perform at wakes is an increasingly common practice, but is now the latest focus of the country's crackdown on vice. Strippers are invited to perform at funerals, often at great expense, to attract more mourners, China's official Xinhua news agency said. Another report suggested another motivation: that the performances \"add to the fun.\" Photos obtained by CNN from an attendee at a village funeral in Cheng'an County in Hebei Province show mourners of all ages, including children, watching the performance. The attendee, who asked not to be identified, said he was visiting family during the Lunar New Year holiday. While he was there, one of the elderly villagers died so he went to the funeral. \"I felt something wasn't right,\" he told CNN. \"The performance crossed the line. I had heard about hiring strippers to dance at funerals but had never seen it myself. I was shocked when I saw the strippers.\" He said the villagers said this kind of performance had been practiced for a while. \"They didn't find it shocking or strange. They were used to it. \"They told me, 'what if we can't watch (this kind of) performance after it gets exposed by the media?'\" In some areas of China, the hiring of professional mourners, known as \"kusangren\" is commonplace. These can include performances, although in recent times the dance acts have increasingly tended towards the erotic. China's Ministry of Culture issued a statement Thursday announcing a crackdown on these funeral stripteases. It said that the ministry had investigated two separate incidents, one in Handan City, Hebei Province, and the other in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province. Both involved multiple-participant \"burlesque\" and \"striptease\" shows as mourners looked on. The Ministry's report said that stripteases undermined \"the cultural value of the entertainment business,\" and asserted that \"such acts were uncivilized.\" The practice has been going on for some time, the report said. Exotic dancing and other forms of pornography are illegal in China. The dancers in the two cases were held in \"administrative detention\" following the two investigations, the report added. The Ministry of Culture did not respond to CNN requests for comment. Last year, the Chinese Ministry of Public Security ordered police across China to step up efforts to tackle the \"three vices\" -- prostitution, gambling and drug trafficking -- warning officials they would be held accountable for illegal activities. In February 2014, a massive crackdown on prostitution in the southern manufacturing city of Dongguan, dubbed \"Sin City\" for its huge vice industry, raided 2,000 establishments and detained more than 900 people.", "summary": "Funeral strippers in rural China are the latest focus of the country's crackdown on vice .

+{"article": "(CNN)Every day, images of war and conflict are splashed across our desktops, plastered on our TV screens and scattered through our mobile news feeds. Because of that, one's response to such imagery often becomes calloused or desensitized. This concept of \"how we digest images of war through mainstream media outlets,\" was what drove photographer Simon Brann Thorpe to begin his project \"Toy Soldiers.\" This idea to create a fresh perspective drove him into the desert of Western Sahara, a long-disputed region of northwestern Africa. Thorpe uses the area's harsh landscape as a powerful backdrop for soldiers posed as green plastic figurines -- similar to the popular toys that many children play with. The soldiers are with the Polisario Front, an independence movement that has been clashing with Morocco over the region since the mid-1970s. Thorpe said his project enables \"the creation of a visual metaphor from which a viewer develops their own emotional, physical and political response to war and conflict, when faced with the realization that the images do not contain toy soldiers but real soldiers.\" Thorpe's background was not in photojournalism, but in landscape photography, which lends to his powerful placement of the soldiers in the desert -- not to mention that all the locations chosen are historic locations of battles between Morocco and the Polisario Front. \"The conflict in Western Sahara receives virtually zero coverage despite 2015 being the 40th anniversary of the outbreak of war there,\" Thorpe said. After a ceasefire in 1991, the people of Western Sahara have been living in a state of non-resolution. The people are split into two camps -- those living in Moroccan-occupied territory, and those in refugee camps in Algeria. Social media .

Thorpe had to get clearance to work with the Polisario Front military and also had to be cautious of how many troops he moved about at one time -- otherwise he would have needed permission from the United Nations. He usually worked with about 50 or 60 soldiers at a time. The autumn months did not offer much reprieve from the long hours in the sweltering desert sun. Thorpe would work with the troops' commander to position the men, then climb atop sandy mountains with his wide-angle lens and capture these striking images. They would work till dusk and then spend the night under the stars. Not only were the soldiers willing participants for this project, but they also helped construct the platforms they stood on. Thorpe said they were made out of old oil drums. After the elaborate five-week production, Thorpe hopes his images will raise questions on \"how images of war (will) be consumed in the future with ever-diminishing attention spans and competition for them.\" Simon Brann Thorpe's \"Toy Soldiers\" book is available for pre-order through Dewi Lewis Publishing.

Five decades later, I find it almost unfathomable that a politician from my own state is attempting to launch his presidential campaign on a record that includes questioning landmark voting rights and civil rights legislation. But that is what Rand Paul, who today declared he's running for president of the United States, is doing. His campaign team told reporters last week that his campaign announcement message would be about \"expanding the Republican Party\" -- a message of inclusion. But those of us listening today who he is hoping to include, heard nothing more than hype. I'm not buying it. Since coming to the U.S. Senate, Paul has tried to sell himself as a different type of Republican. He's tried to brand himself as the GOP's minority outreach candidate. The problem for Paul, and the GOP at large, is that they don't back up their words with their policies. Yes, it's about time that Republicans started seriously considering the fact that black voters are an important piece of the electoral puzzle. But they can't actually appeal to the community unless they have a real commitment to the issues facing minority communities. A quick survey of Sen. Paul's positions makes clear that he does not. Paul kicked off his announcement speech in Louisville by declaring \"I have a message that is loud and clear: We have come to take our country back.\" I have no doubt that under Paul's leadership, he would indeed take our country back -- in the wrong direction -- way back to a time when we were debating the Civil Rights Act -- which Paul has done since landing on the national stage; when there was no Department of Education -- a department he thinks \"should be done away with;\" when women didn't have choices -- choices Paul seeks to limit in Washington; when DREAMers weren't protected from deportation -- protections Paul currently opposes. In his inept speaking engagements at historically black colleges and universities, he has come across as condescending and lacking basic cultural competency. But Paul has also questioned the Civil Rights Act, and even claimed that private business owners have a right to discriminate. When asked about the need for a more robust Voting Rights Act following the Supreme Court's dismantling of the law, Paul dismissively remarked, \"We have an African-American President.\" When President Obama stood with John Lewis and other veterans of the civil rights movement in front of the Edmund Pettus Bridge last month to mark the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, he inspired us all by saying: \"With effort, we can roll back poverty and the roadblocks to opportunity. ...

+{"article": "(CNN)Monty Python in a movie? What a silly idea. But the timing was right for the gang of British comedians (along with their token American, Terry Gilliam), who were looking to hit the big screen after four seasons of \"Monty Python's Flying Circus,\" their groundbreaking British TV series. \"Monty Python and the Holy Grail,\" which premiered 40 years ago Thursday, was the result. The movie, a spoof of the Arthurian legend, did not start auspiciously. The budget was small -- about $400,000, half of it supplied by rock stars, including Genesis and Pink Floyd. On the first day of filming in Scotland -- the first shot, in fact -- the camera broke. The weather was bad. The hotel was dismal. Python member Graham Chapman was suffering from alcohol withdrawal. It got better. On the day of its first American screening in New York, a thousand people were in line by 8 a.m. Thanks to the popularity of \"Python\" on American TV, the movie was a box-office hit, making $5 million -- more than 10 times its budget. More importantly, it soon became a comedy classic. The dialogue alone has been widely quoted, with such lines as \"It's just a flesh wound\" and \"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries\" referenced on shows such as \"The Simpsons,\" \"Game of Thrones\" and \"The Blacklist.\" Python member Eric Idle turned the film into the Tony-winning Broadway play \"Spamalot.\" The troupe ended up making three movies -- well, four, if you count \"And Now for Something Completely Different,\" five if you include \"Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl,\" five-and-a-half if you allow \"The Rutles,\" six if you ... well, three. We'll say three. Is there a best one? Where should you start? Let's break them down: . From its dramatic opening credits featuring fake-Swedish subtitles to the adventures of Sir Launcelot (\"the boldest and most expensive of the knights\"), weighted-bird computations and sudden animator heart attacks, \"Holy Grail\" is probably the loosest and most Python-esque of the Python oeuvre. As a movie with a plot and character and all that movie nonsense, it falls short -- but as a repository for some of Python's best gags, it remains perhaps the best (and certainly most quotable) of the bunch. Besides, it features the word \"shrubbery.\" \" 'Grail' is a bit like 'A Hard Day's Night,' \" Idle observed in the Pythons' autobiography. \"It's got a joie de vivre that's very infectious, it's very hard not to like.\" Pros: The dialogue. The Black Knight. The Knights Who Say \"Ni.\" Cons: It's sometimes sloppy. And it doesn't really have an ending. Verdict: Better than a cheese shop full of ex-parrots. Probably Python's most consistent movie, \"Life of Brian\" is the story of a guy born down the road from Jesus who finds himself hailed as a messiah and ends up crucified. It was a satire on organized religion, first-century politics and zealotry -- one of the best bits is the ongoing argument between \"the People's Front of Judea\" and \"the Judean People's Front\" --", "summary": "\"Monty Python and the Holy Grail\" celebrates 40 years Thursday .

The conflict is exacting a heavy toll on children and families, UNICEF said in a statement. \"The humanitarian situation is worsening all the time, with increasingly limited access to water, basic sanitation and critical health services,\" the statement quoted UNICEF Yemen representative Julien Harneis, speaking from Amman, Jordan, as saying. \"The supplies we have managed to bring in today can make the difference between life and death for children and their families -- but we know they are not enough, and we are planning more of these airlifts.\" Aid agencies have been saying that supplies were desperately needed, but getting them into the country in the midst of regional turmoil was difficult.

Included as well, the agency said, were micronutrients for up to 20,000 children and water storage materials airlifted through Djibouti from UNICEF's supply center in Denmark. Also Friday, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said that about 900 refugees from Yemen have arrived in the Horn of Africa. Many more are reportedly trying to make the trip but are hampered by fuel shortages and high fees by boat operators. \"UNHCR is extremely concerned about the dangers for anyone trying to flee across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, where there are no search and rescue operations,\" the agency said in a statement. \"Last year, 246 lives were reported lost in sea crossings to Yemen. UNHCR appeals to all ships in the area to be extra vigilant and assist any boats in distress. We also ask that countries with vessels in waters near Yemen -- including surveillance and anti-piracy vessels -- instruct their ships to help with rescues.\" It said that, as demand increases, the boats attempting the dangerous crossing are likely to become more crowded -- a crossing that has historically been made in the other direction, by people fleeing Africa in favor of Yemen .

After correction officers evaluate him, he will be shipped to Massachusetts' flagship maximum-security prison, one of the most high-tech jails in the United States with no history of breakouts: the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, about 40 miles outside downtown Boston. It's called Souza, for short, and it's the state's newest prison, opened in 1998, with a matrix of 366 cameras recording live 24 hours a day and a microwave detection perimeter with taut wire. \"I don't know the date, but he'll be going there. That's the maximum-security facility,\" Department of Corrections spokesman Darren Duarte said. Legal advocates for inmates describe Souza as sterile and violent at once. Its diverse demographic includes the young and the old, many of whom are also doing life. One stubborn problem is that opiates are smuggled to inmates, the legal advocates said. \"It's very shiny and clean looking and very sterile,\" said Leslie Walker, executive director of Prisoners' Legal Services of Massachusetts, who has been visiting the Souza prison about every six weeks for the past 15 years and serves indigent prisoners there. But, she added: \"It is a very dangerous prison that is right now experiencing a veritable flood of opiates.\" Officials said Hernandez, 25, is being processed at the maximum-security Massachusetts Correctional Institution-Cedar Junction in Walpole, just a handful of miles from Gillette Stadium, where he once played tight end for the New England Patriots under a five-year $40 million contract. The prison system has yet to determine where to initially place Hernandez in Souza: solitary confinement; the less harsh but restricted block; the general population; a privileged section known as the \"lifers block,\" for those serving a life sentence; or the \"kitchen block,\" for those who work in the prison kitchen. \"At this point in time, we will figure out where he belongs in the population once the processing of Hernandez is complete,\" Duarte said. \"Right now, he'll be treated like a regular inmate when he walked into the door, but they will figure all that out.\" Hernandez was sent immediately for processing after Wednesday's sentencing and jury conviction, Duarte said. A news outlet helicopter followed Hernandez's transfer to MCI Cedar Junction. Prison officials will be concerned about Hernandez's safety and whether any enemies, gangs or headline-seeking inmates will try to hurt Hernandez, who will become Souza's most famous resident. \"There could be prisoners with a beef who are out to get him,\" Walker said. \"Then he's going to have to be separated, and it's going to be challenging for prison officers and perhaps for him. \"The good news is that the superintendent of Souza-Baranowski is very smart and thorough and a decent human being, who I'm sure will do everything he can to keep Mr. Hernandez safe,\" Walker added. \"The person at the top sets the tone.

+{"article": "(CNN)It took prosecutors months to present 131 witnesses to support their claim that former NFL star Aaron Hernandez killed semi-pro player Odin Lloyd. On Monday, Hernandez's defense gave its side of the story, wrapping up its witnesses in less than a day. Hernandez, 25, is on trial for the shooting death of Lloyd, whose body was found in a Massachusetts industrial park in June 2013. Now that the defense has rested, it won't be long before the jury begins deliberating. Much of the evidence in the former New England Patriots' case is circumstantial. Here are some key points jurors will have to consider after each side makes closing arguments on Tuesday: . As news spread that Hernandez was under investigation in June 2013, Patriots owner Robert Kraft called in the tight end for a meeting two days after Lloyd's death. \"He said he was not involved,\" Kraft testified last week. \"He said he was innocent, and that he hoped that the time of the murder incident came out because he said he was in a club.\" There's only one potential problem with that claim: The time Lloyd was killed hadn't been made public yet by the time Hernandez met with Kraft. So how could Hernandez have known when Lloyd was killed? \"What a great, great witness for the prosecution,\" CNN legal analyst Mel Robbins said. \"Basically what happened is Aaron Hernandez lied to his boss. And the only way you rebut it is if you put him on the stand.\" When questioned by a defense attorney, Kraft said that he'd never had any problems with Hernandez and that the player was always respectful to him. Hernandez's fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, revealed for the first time last week that Hernandez told her to dispose of a box from the couple's home that she said reeked of marijuana. She also said she didn't know what was in the box. That revelation may contradict the prosecution's contention that the weapon used in the killing was in the box. The murder weapon in the case has not been recovered. During cross-examination by the defense, Jenkins testified that she suspected marijuana because the box smelled \"skunky.\" Earlier, she told prosecutors during direct examination that she didn't know what was in the box. She said Hernandez never told her, and she never looked. After concealing the box with her daughter's clothing, Jenkins said she threw it away in \"a random dumpster\" but could not remember exactly where. Much testimony has focused on the shoes Hernandez wore the night Lloyd was shot. A Nike consultant testified that Hernandez was wearing Nike Air Jordan Retro 11 Lows. About 93,000 pairs of that shoe were made, significantly fewer in a size 13. The shoe's sole makes a distinct impression, said Lt. Steven Bennett of the Massachusetts State Police. The consultant testified under questioning from defense attorney Jamie Sultan that other Nike shoes -- more than 3 million -- make the same impression. Yet Bennett, who works in crime scene services, testified that the footprint left near Lloyd's body was \"in agreement\" or", "summary": "Closing arguments in the case are set for Tuesday .

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)Judge Jeffrey Sutton doesn't have a lot of company on the appeals courts these days. Sutton, who sits on the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, penned the only recent appellate court decision to uphold state bans on same-sex marriage. His opinion, issued in November, goes up against an avalanche of judicial rulings striking down such bans. The split helped pave the way for the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a case on Tuesday that could ultimately decide whether gay and lesbian couples nationwide have a constitutional right to marry. And it provides important insight into the legal arguments that could be made before the court by states seeking to uphold bans at a time when the national sentiment is quickly shifting in favor of same-sex marriage. \"It's an ideal piece of judicial craftsmanship,\" said Ryan T. Anderson of the Heritage Foundation, who believes that state bans on same-sex marriage are constitutional. Sutton \"more or less takes each and every argument that the other side has made, and then one by one by one, he explains why it doesn't work.\" Critics call the opinion an outlier and don't believe it will carry much weight, considering the number of courts that have overturned same-sex marriage bans in the nearly two years since the Supreme Court struck down the core of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. \"Judge Sutton's opinion stands alone,\" said Jon W. Davidson, legal director of Lambda Legal, a gay rights advocacy group. Sutton, 54, is the former state solicitor for Ohio, where he handled appeals for the state's attorney general. He clerked for Justices Antonin Scalia and Lewis Powell -- Scalia once called Sutton \"one of the very best law clerks I ever had.\" Appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush, Sutton is considered a conservative jurist with a keen interest in states' rights. Here are the central arguments from his opinion that states seeking to uphold their same-sex marriage bans are expected to echo on Tuesday. It is \"dangerous and demeaning,\" Sutton wrote, to the citizenry to assume that only judges \"can fairly understand\" the arguments for and against same-sex marriage. \"Isn't the goal to create a culture in which a majority of citizens dignify and respect the rights of minority groups?\" he asked in the opinion joined by Judge Deborah L. Cook, also a Bush appointee. Critics such as Davidson have roundly condemned such reasoning. \"The people don't get to decide what the Constitution safeguards,\" Davidson said. \"They don't get to vote to violate the Constitution.\" Sutton pointed to the drafters and their views of the 14th Amendment. \"Nobody in this case,\" he wrote, \"argues that the people who adopted the Fourteenth Amendment understood it to require the States to change the definition of marriage.\" It's an argument made to enforce the idea that there is no fundamental right to marriage for same-sex couples in the Constitution. \"From the founding of the Republic to 2003, every state defined marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman,\" he wrote, noting that", "summary": "Avalanche of appellate rulings have struck down state bans on same-sex marriage .

The next time you take the kids on a pilgrimage to see the talking mouse or head down to South Beach for some sun/sin, get a window seat and spend the moments before landing contemplating the seemingly endless swamp below. Because there are few places that represent the folly of man -- and the cost of redemption -- like the Everglades. On approach into Miami or Orlando, it just looks like squishy wasteland full of things that want to hurt you: snakes and scorpions, rats and roaches, gators and mosquitoes. (A researcher once caught 365,000 bloodthirsty bugs in a single trap in a single night.) As you drive along the Tamiami Trail, it just looks like endless sawgrass, the kind that feels like walking through broken glass. \"Too wet to farm, too dry to sail, too unpredictable to settle,\" as Michael Grunwald put it in his definitive history, \"The Swamp.\" And so, a century ago, some American dreamers decided to drain the swamp. They decided to conquer that uninhabitable frontier known as Florida. And long before air conditioning, bug spray and Social Security helped seal that vision, the Army Corps of Engineers blasted and dug 2,000 miles of dams and dikes, ditches and pipes. They did a hell of a job. A watershed built for 2 million people now supports nearly 8 million, and another 50 million tourists each year. But what they didn't know is that without this swamp, there can be no \"good life\" in Florida. There can be no life. After a century of development, half the Everglades is dead and the other half is on life support. This is a problem, not just for the gators and snakes. It is a problem for the eagles, panthers, snails, dolphins, hawks, manatees, flamingos, vase sponges, black bears and ghost orchids that make up the most unique, diverse wetlands in the world. And most of all, it is a problem for people. Because most of the drinking water in South Florida comes from the aquifers beneath the Everglades. This 2 million-acre river of grass is not only the best form of hurricane protection, it also supports the multibillion-dollar fishing, shrimping and crabbing industries around the Florida Keys.

Since then, the Chinese authorities have formally detained her and four other activists for \"creating disturbances.\" They also briefly detained some of the activists' supporters, raided a prominent nongovernmental organization that called for their release, and have at points denied some of the women access to medical treatment, lawyers and adequate rest. The fate of the five will be revealed by April 13, as their case reaches the legal time limit when they must either be released or \"formally arrested,\" which almost always leads to conviction in China's legal system. The timing of the detentions of China's most inventive women's rights activists is ironic: Not only did they take place on the very day that marks women's achievements and their struggle for equality, but they also come in a year in which Beijing would have won praise for its role in promoting women's rights. It appears poised to adopt its first and long-awaited anti-domestic violence law, which is expected to get a reading before the National People's Congress Standing Committee this summer. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the influential Fourth World Conference on Women hosted in Beijing, during which Hillary Clinton famously declared that \"women's rights are human rights.\" I first met Wu at a conference several years ago, at a time when there were very few women in China's weiquan or \"rights defense\" movement. It was common back then for male colleagues to publicly address them as \"babes\" or \"little sisters,\" even in professional\u2014and ostensibly progressive\u2014settings. As women's rights activists, Wu and others fight on two fronts: against overt rights violations by the Chinese government and against the wider gender norms that relegate women to second-class citizens. By the time we met again two years later, Wu and her young \"direct-action\" feminist colleagues were clearly off and running. They staged small, public \"performance art\" protests that attracted media headlines, energized the more mainstream and academically inclined women's rights movement, and pushed women's rights into the national consciousness and onto the government's agenda.

The Altamura Man became the oldest Neanderthal to have his DNA extracted by researchers. It took them more than 20 years to get around to doing it. Scientists in southern Italy have known about him since 1993, when spelunkers spied his skull staring blankly back at them from its nook in the Lamalunga cave, deep under the town of Altamura. The cave explorers told researchers at the University of Bari what they'd found, according to their report published in March in the Journal of Human Evolution and Phys.org. Altamura Man's intact skull and jumbled pile of bones made for a great specimen, but they were wedged into a panoply of stalactites and stony globules deposited by water dripping over them for tens of thousands of years. Researchers decided not to rescue the bones for fear that trying to ease them out of the cave's calcified grip would shatter them and ruin Altamura Man. So, they left him forever a cave man. Calcite pebbles line the Neanderthal's eye sockets, nose bone and an upper jaw like a hundred decorative piercings. Analysis of the calcite has shown the bones to be 128,000 to 187,000 years old. Scientists believe Altamura Man wound up in the cave at least that long ago after falling into a prehistoric well, then died in the caverns at its bottom of thirst or hunger. Recently, researchers made an exception, and toted off a chip from his right shoulder blade to the lab. Metrics taken of his skeleton confirm Altamura Man was a Homo neanderthalensis. He will spend perhaps endless eons glaring silently out of his cranny in the world's most secluded spot, or, as Altamura's archeological museum describes it, \"in the corner of a small cavity situated between the ground and the back wall.\" The scientists hope they will be able to sequence his DNA, to find out more about the evolution of all hominids -- including us.

In 2013, the teen's family told media that an Atlanta hospital rejected him for heart transplant surgery due to what the hospital described in a letter as Stokes' \"history of non-compliance.\" At the time, Mark Bell was acting as a Stokes family spokesman. Bell told CNN that a doctor told the family that Anthony's low grades and time in juvenile detention factored into the hospital's decision to deny him a heart. \"The doctor made the decision that he wasn't a good candidate because of that,\" Bell said then. \"I guess he didn't think Anthony was going to be a productive citizen.\" About a week after Stokes' story made headlines, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta gave him a heart. On Tuesday, Stokes carjacked someone at a mall, kicked in the door of a home in Roswell, Georgia, and fired a shot at an elderly woman, who called 911, said Roswell police spokeswoman Lisa Holland. Stokes drove away in a black SUV, she said. Police spotted the car and ran its plates which showed it had been stolen. Police chased the vehicle. Stokes lost control of the car, hit a pedestrian and then a pole, Holland said. The vehicle was nearly halved, she said. The pedestrian is stable and in good condition, according to CNN affiliate WSB. Stokes died at a hospital, Holland said.

The thieves disabled the elevator on the second floor of the building -- which would be the same as the third floor in the United States -- then climbed down the elevator shaft into the basement, he said. Once there, he said, they used a drill to bore through a 6-foot-thick wall and gain access to the vault where the safe deposit boxes were.

Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran are awaiting death by firing squad on Indonesia's \"execution island\" for their role in a failed 2005 heroin smuggling plot. A panel of three judges in the state administrative court in Jakarta on Monday confirmed an earlier ruling that it lacked the jurisdiction to hear challenges against President Joko Widodo's refusal to grant clemency. Lawyers for the pair had argued that Widodo had failed to individually consider their cases. One of the condemned men's lawyers, Leonard Aritonang, said he was disappointed with the rulings but would respect the court's decision. He said his team would file a further review, asking the Constitutional Court to explain Widodo's obligations regarding granting clemency. \"I'm hoping the government still respects... any ongoing proceedings,\" he said.

Besieged and bombed by Syrian forces for more than two years, the desperate residents of this Palestinian refugee camp near Damascus awoke in early April to a new, even more terrifying reality -- ISIS militants seizing Yarmouk after defeating several militia groups operating in the area. \"They slaughtered them in the streets,\" one Yarmouk resident, who asked not to be named, told CNN. \"They (caught) three people and killed them in the street, in front of people. The Islamic State is now in control of almost all the camp.\" An estimated 18,000 refugees are now trapped inside Yarmouk, stuck between ISIS and Syrian regime forces in \"the deepest circle of hell,\" in the words of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Yarmouk, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Syria, was formed in 1957 to accommodate people fleeing the Arab-Israeli conflict. The camp, which sits just 6 miles from central Damascus, has been engulfed in fighting between the Syrian government and armed groups since December 2012. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says ISIS and the al Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front control about 90% of the camp. The organization also claims that the Syrian government has dropped barrel bombs on the camp in an effort to drive out armed groups. Activists and residents in Yarmouk tell CNN that as many as 5,000 people have tried to flee their homes since ISIS stormed the camp, but have no place to go. Hundreds have been injured, but the camp's only functioning hospital was first occupied by ISIS, then targeted last week by regime shelling. As the fighting raged in Yarmouk, the director of the Jafra Foundation -- the only aid group that has been able to get into the camp -- painted a grim portrait of the conditions on the ground since ISIS arrived. \"We need medicine and access to treatment and medical facilities,\" Wesam Sabaneh told CNN. \"The last hospital in Yarmouk camp was bombed yesterday, so there's really nothing functioning.\" Opinion: Save the 'miracle babies' Even delivering clean water in Yarmouk can be a deadly task.

Aid agencies briefly managed to break the government's stranglehold on the camp last year, and delivered aid to tens of thousands.

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz was accused of having sex with minors with help from billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Buckingham Palace denied the allegations, which surfaced in a court filing in January. So did Dershowitz. In his decision, U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth Marra denied a motion by the alleged victims -- \"Jane Doe 3 and Jane Doe 4\" -- to join a lawsuit accusing the federal government of violating their rights by negotiating a nonprosecution agreement with Epstein without consulting them. Marra wrote in the decision that the \"lurid details\" of alleged abuse were unnecessary to determining whether the victims could join the lawsuit. \"The factual details regarding with whom and where the Jane Does engaged in sexual activities are immaterial and impertinent to this central claim ... especially considering that these details involve non-parties who are not related to the respondent Government.

Virginia Roberts made the allegations in a civil motion filed earlier this year in U.S. District Court in southern Florida, joined by another unnamed woman. While Roberts was not identified by name in the filing, her name was widely reported in the British news media, and Buckingham Palace included it in a statement. Along with Britain's Prince Andrew and others, Dershowitz was named in the federal court filing as one of the prominent people who had sexual contact with teenage girls through Epstein. Epstein, an investment banker, pleaded guilty some years ago in Florida to a state charge of prostitution solicitation, but there were no federal charges after he and authorities signed a non-prosecution agreement. But some of Epstein's alleged victims aren't on board with the deal, thinking he should face stiffer charges and penalties. Four of them took federal prosecutors to court, suing them to reopen the case because they believed their rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act were violated by the agreement. Two of them entered the discussion in January, including the one described as Jane Doe 3.

Its 573 students, all male, are staying home after Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta announced three days of national mourning following last week's deadly attack at a nearby university. Only a few kilometers away, 147 people -- mostly students -- were brutally massacred when Al-Shabaab militants invaded the campus in Garissa, a town in northeastern Kenya. We've come to this particular Islamic religious school because the man suspected by Kenyan authorities of being the \"mastermind\" behind the atrocity -- Mohamed Mohamud -- once taught here. \"He was someone who was very quiet, he didn't like too much talk,\" recalls Sheikh Khalif Abdi Hussein, the principal at the Madrassa. He says he also taught with Mohamud for two years. \"When he left the Madrassa, he joined Al-Shabaab. But before, he was normal, just like me and other people.\" What worries authorities here is exactly that -- Mohamud was Kenyan. But now, say officials, Mohamud is in command of an Al-Shabaab militia based near Kenya's long, porous border with Somalia -- about 118 miles (190km) from Garissa -- who are believed to be responsible for numerous cross-border attacks into Kenya. The Islamist militant group, who are allied with al Qaeda, have been waging a bloody campaign for control of Somalia. With Kenyan troops part of an African Union force deployed in support of Somalia's United Nations-supported government, Kenya has now become a target. Last year, an attack by Al-Shabaab on a shopping center in the country's capital, Nairobi, claimed the lives of 68 people. Now Mohamud stands accused of being behind Thursday's attack -- the deadliest attack in the nation since al Qaeda killed more than 200 people at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in 1998. But Mohamud is not Kenya's only homegrown terrorist. The Kenyan Interior Ministry has said at least one of the four gunmen who carried out the attack on the university was also Kenyan. Abdirahim Abdullahi was in his 20s and the son of a government chief. His father says he lost contact with his son in 2013, shortly after he left university. The Kenyan government is concerned that Al-Shabaab is recruiting disaffected youth from inside the country. \"Our task of countering terrorism has been made all the more difficult by the fact that the planners and financiers of this brutality are deeply embedded in our communities,\" President Kenyatta said during an address to the nation in the aftermath of the massacre. Meanwhile, Sheikh Khalif insists his Madrassa has nothing to do with Mohamud's extreme, violent ideas. \"This man is a dangerous man, a killer, a criminal,\" he says. But he was also once a neighbor. And so Kenyans must now look within to tackle this very real threat to the country's -- and the region's -- stability.", "summary": "The attack at a Garissa university last week killed 147 people, mostly students .

Those three have pleaded not guilty. It is unclear if Kasimov has been arrested. The indictment and a criminal complaint filed last month say Juraboev and Saidakhmetov planned to join ISIS and had purchased airline tickets to Turkey.

He and Habibov were charged with conspiracy to use a firearm to commit a crime. The names: Who has been recruited to ISIS from the West .

Finally, after the selfies and conversations started to die down, his aides managed to move him closer to the door when a tall, burly man stopped him. \"Senator,\" he said, \"can I pray with you real quick?\" \"Yeah,\" Cruz said, as he clasped the man's upper arm and the two bowed their heads. It was one of the many moments when Cruz connected with voters on a religious level last week, as the senator from Texas hit the trail in Iowa for the first time as a presidential candidate. Being the only official contender in the race, Cruz drew large crowds during his two-day swing across the state. He's counting on Iowa, known for its vocal and active evangelical base, to propel him forward in what's expected to be a tough competition among a crowded field of GOP candidates. Cruz, himself, displays a pastoral swagger when he is speaking on stage and working a room. The senator regularly avoids using a podium, instead favoring pacing the stage with a wireless microphone, a scene reminiscent of a Sunday morning sermon. When he meets with people after events, he embraces each one's hand with both of his, softens his usually theatric tone and looks people square in the eye -- a familiar interaction between churchgoing Christians and their pastors. The past two winners of Iowa's caucuses rose to victory with support from the Christian right, and Cruz, who announced his bid last month at the well-known Baptist school Liberty University, is aiming to energize that same base and claim the coveted state as his prize. Evangelicals make up a large segment of Iowa's Republican voter bloc. According to a Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll from January, 44% of likely 2016 Republican caucus-goers said they were born-again or evangelical Christians. Cruz has built a brand as a stalwart conservative willing to buck GOP leadership on fiscal issues, but he showed in Iowa last week that he's also eager to champion social issues at a time when many Republicans are anxious to avoid them. He was one of the loudest defenders of the religious freedom law in Indiana, which came under fire last week for what critics called paving a path to discrimination against gays and lesbians. He described the outrage over the laws as \"shameful\" and an \"assault\" on First Amendment rights. \"There are a lot of people here in Iowa and across the country whose hearts are breaking, watching what has happened in the last two weeks,\" Cruz said Friday night at an event in Des Moines. \"We have seen a grossly unfair vilification of religious liberty.\" RELATED: Republican 2016 hopefuls back Indiana's 'religious freedom' law .

+{"article": "(CNN)Just about now, North Korea's enigmatic ruler was expected to be preparing to emerge from his fortified country for a visit to Moscow to join celebrations next week marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. The trip was highly anticipated. After all, this was to have been Kim's first official international trip since he came to power in 2011 following his father's death, and it would have provided a fascinating opportunity for the world to get a closer look at a young leader and a regime still largely shrouded in mystery. But this week, Russia announced that the trip had been canceled, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying Thursday that Moscow was informed via diplomatic channels that the trip would not happen. He said that \"the decision is connected with North Korean domestic affairs.\" What could have changed Kim's mind? It is practically impossible to answer the question with absolute certainty, but a possible explanation is that Kim may not be feeling completely secure in his position. And nervous dictators prefer to stay home. True, Kim runs one of the most brutally repressive regimes on Earth. And there is unceasing public praise for the younger 'Dear Leader,\" including frenzied eruptions of support. But these eruptions are carefully scripted, and those who have managed to flee the North confirm that in private, many are unhappy with the regime. Perhaps with the potential threats in mind, Kim feels the need to reassert his authority and keep his eye on the centers of power. In 2013, Kim shocked the country and stunned outside observers when he ordered the killing of his uncle, Jang Song Thaek, who had stood by his side from the day his father died. Jang had mentored and guided the young Kim as he took the reins, but the once-powerful Jang was arrested by soldiers during a Politburo meeting who dragged him away in a chilling scene broadcast on national television. The central news agency called Jang a \"traitor for all the ages,\" with vague accusations that he had behaved \"insolently.\" More seriously, he was accused of \"counter-revolutionary factional acts in a bid to overthrow the leadership.\" And just this week, and only a day before the Russians announced Kim's canceled travel plans, a South Korea lawmaker revealed that South Korea's National Intelligence Service had pieced together information suggesting that so far this year, Kim has ordered the execution of 15 senior government officials.

+{"article": "(CNN)This is week two of an ongoing series: A Catholic Reads the Bible This week covers the Book of Genesis, chapters 1-11. A week ago, I was worried I wouldn't have anything to write about. Now, I don't even know where to begin. The first step was choosing a Bible. I went with the version that I received for winning the religion award at Rice Memorial High School in South Burlington, Vermont. As I mentioned in the first installment of this series, I'm a lifelong Catholic who finally plans to read the Bible from cover to cover. The Bible I'm reading is \"The Deluxe Catholic Bible,\" published in 1986 by World Bible Publishing. After four days of reading this week, my journal is full of observations and ideas. With my crazy schedule, I found that reading at night was a perfect way to unwind and reflect. And as I started reading, I didn't want to stop. In order to fully process Scripture, I need to slow down and read the footnotes. Footnotes are my friend. First of all, Genesis starts with two separate creation narratives. How did I not know this? The first chapter is the seven days story with God creating the Earth. In the second chapter the Earth is again created and man is formed out of clay. Talking with a CNN colleague, I mentioned how there seems to be fascination in Genesis with dirt and clay. My colleague pointed out that even Adam's name is a play on the Hebrew word \"adama,\" meaning ground. It struck me that the whole first two chapters have everything to do with the Earth and man's place in it, a struggle that we can relate to even now. From the creation of the Garden of Eden to the fall and the banishment, the bounty of the land and the access to it seems to be the area of highest concern. My greatest surprise, though, came when I read about Seth. Seth? Who? I started asking people if they had remembered the story of Seth. My unscientific poll of friends is that 9 out 10 people I asked had no idea who he was. Turns out, Seth is the forgotten son of Adam and Eve who is born after Cain kills Abel. Adam fathered Seth at 130 years old. Yes, we are getting into the part of the Bible with fantastical life spans that allow for the transition from the stories of Adam to Abraham. (Again, thank you footnotes). Unfortunately, we don't learn much more about Seth. When he is mentioned, it's about his descendants. But, because this was my first biblical surprise, I will never forget him. Thank you, Seth. As a woman, though I was waiting to read more about the role of women. Did you know that Eve is the first person named in the Bible? (I expected Adam, but he is called \"man\" in the first references.) Moving on, we have these tales about the \"sons of heaven\" seeing Earth's beautiful women and taking them as wives. Um? What?

With just weeks until his box-office victory lap for \"Avengers: Age of Ultron,\" Joss Whedon is now facing a lawsuit accusing him of stealing the idea for the 2012 meta-horror movie The Cabin in the Woods. Whedon produced and co-wrote the script for Cabin with director Drew Goddard, a writer on Whedon's \"Buffy the Vampire Slayer\" and a fanboy favorite in his own right, with credits that include Netflix's \"Daredevil\" (and reportedly may soon include Sony's upcoming Spider-Man projects).

Read the full complaint. Gallagher also alleges similarities between the characters' names and personalities -- his book's blond Julie and shy Dura and the film's Jules (Anna Hutchison) and Dana (Kristen Connolly), and handsome and scatterbrained men in both works -- and certain scenes involving the characters finding strange items in their respective cabins and discovering hidden cameras.

The British-led war games are code named Joint Warrior and the numbers are all big: 13,000 personnel from 14 countries operating more than 50 ships and submarines as well as 70 aircraft. NATO says the planning started long before Russia began behaving as an adversary. For more than a year NATO has been condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine as well as its frequent, large scale, snap military drills and those long-range Bear bombers repeatedly flying very close to NATO airspace. So, if Joint Warrior is not a deliberate response, it's certainly a timely one. CNN was invited to spend a day aboard one of the vessels taking part -- the U.S. Navy's guided missile cruiser USS Vicksburg. It's the current flag ship of a standing NATO maritime group. Commanding officer Rear Adm. Brad Williamson says Russia's behavior is an added motivation to do well in these exercises. \"Anytime you have a security situation that reminds us it's not just a game we're doing out here, that there are real world implications to our ability to provide security to alliance members, I think that focuses our minds on what we're doing,\" Williamson says. Other personnel on the Vicksburg tell us competition between different nations and even individual ships and subs is also a big motivator. The details of these war games are top secret. But they're broken into two parts: The set training exercises that involve vessels or groups completing specific jobs and what they call \"free play\". That's where everyone's divided into two teams with different orders and motivations manipulated by the game masters. Tensions rise and it's likely pretend war follows. Easy to see how things get competitive. Russia has taken an interest. It used its right under what's known as the Vienna document to send its own inspectors.

+{"article": "(CNN)Would you want a TV program about your family history to include details of a distant, long-deceased relative who had owned slaves? Seriously, who in their right mind would want to be tarnished by the sins of an ancestor you had no connection to other than a remote bloodline? I wouldn't, and neither did Ben Affleck, who lobbied producers of a PBS show, \"Finding Your Roots,\" to remove any reference to his great-great-great grandfather Benjamin Cole, a Georgia slave owner in the mid-1800's, in an episode that looked at Affleck's family history. (Affleck revealed Cole's name Wednesday night.) Here's the thing that might surprise many, given the tendency of the media to exploit any potentially scandalous material: The show's producer, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., apparently acquiesced to Affleck's request, because when the episode aired in October 2014, there was no mention of the star's slave-owning ancestor. Affleck's attempt to alter the content of the program only publicly became known a few days ago after WikiLeaks released hacked emails revealing an exchange between Gates and Sony Pictures chief Michael Lynton. When Gates asked how he should respond to Affleck's request to delete the material, Lynton responded, \"all things being equal, I would definitely take it out.\" And on Tuesday, Affleck, via Facebook, admitted that he had urged Gates to excise any reference to his slave-owning relative. Affleck explained, \"I didn't want any television show about my family to include a guy who owned slaves. I was embarrassed. The very thought left a bad taste in my mouth.\" Now Gates has publicly denied that he made his decision about the content of the program based on Affleck's request, but it seems likely that he did. After all, Affleck noted as much in his Facebook post, writing that Gates \"agreed with me on the slave owner but made other choices I disagreed with.\" And three other celebrities profiled on the series last season were shown to have been related to slave owners. So it's unlikely that it was simply happenstance that it left out any reference to Affleck's familial slave ownership connection. In any event, PBS has launched an internal review to determine if the show violated its own editorial standards. Whatever the results of the review, Affleck and Gates did the right thing. Let's be clear: \"Finding Your Roots\" is not an investigative news show; it's an entertainment program. In fact, as Affleck noted, much of the material is provided directly by the celebrity being profiled. It's not \"60 Minutes\" but more in the nature of a sophisticated profile of celebrities, using their marquee names to attract viewers. There's not even a hint that Affleck strong-armed the producers or made any type of threats against them if they included the information. In the emails between Gates and Lynton, which they presumably believed at the time were confidential and would remain so, there was no mention of undue pressure by Affleck. Instead, Gates simply noted that Affleck \"asked us to edit out something.\" After the emails were revealed, Gates issued a statement, saying,", "summary": "Ben Affleck admits he asked PBS show \"Finding Your Roots\" to avoid mentioning his slave-owning ancestor .

+{"article": "(CNN)The stark video of a South Carolina officer gunning down an apparently unarmed black man as he ran away with his back to police has prompted an equally fast-moving reaction by officials and the public alike. The video is being dissected frame by frame by authorities and media outlets, all in an effort to reconstruct what exactly happened between North Charleston police Officer Michael Slager, a five-year employee of that force, and Walter Scott, 50. Slager, 33, was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder after firing eight shots at Scott, killing him. Slager is also now \"terminated\" from the force, North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said Wednesday. Added police Chief Eddie Driggers on Wednesday: \"I watched the video, and I was sickened by what I saw and I have not watched it since.\" Both Scott and Slager had once served in the U.S. Coast Guard, with Scott's service occurring 1984-86 and Slager's 2003-09. Scott was a father of four. Slager is a father to two stepchildren, and his wife is eight months' pregnant. Here's what we know of the fatal shooting: . Slager pulled Scott over at 9:33 a.m. Saturday for a broken taillight, according to authorities. Chief Driggers described the incident as \"traffic stop of an individual who had a minor infraction on his vehicle, a brake light being out.\" A foot chase then occurred, a police report said. The video, taken by a passer-by, doesn't show any vehicle. Rather, Slager and Scott are on a path or roadway in a parklike setting bordered partly by a chain-link fence. The video was shot over and through the fence. \"The officer said that Walter ran from the vehicle during the traffic stop,\" Scott family attorney L. Chris Stewart said. According to the police report, Scott did not comply with the officer's demands. Scott's brother, Anthony Scott, said his brother had trouble with child support and had an outstanding warrant against him, but that his sibling wasn't prone to violence. \"That very well could have been the reason (for running from police), not to be arrested for the warrant that was on him for child support,\" Anthony Scott said. The video begins by showing a second or two of an apparent struggle between the officer and suspect. The officer contended he used a Taser stun gun on Scott and that Scott tried to take that weapon, authorities said. But when Anthony Scott saw the video, he was convinced the officer lied, he told CNN. \"There was not a struggle for the Taser,\" Anthony Scott said. \"I didn't believe my brother would have done that anyway.\" The video shows Walter Scott running away, with his back to the officer. As he does so, two objects fall. One falls behind the officer. And the other falls between the two men.

+{"article": "Tokyo (CNN)With the world watching, in his historic address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, the first ever by a Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe surprised nobody by missing a great opportunity to dispel worries and tensions he raises with his revisionist views on history. During this 70th year anniversary of the end of World War II, Abe has been disappointing on Japan's wartime history because he has been evasive and ambiguous about embracing responsibility for Japan's wartime actions in Asia where the bitter legacies remain divisive. And this \"Abenesia\" is harmful to Japan's international image, riles China and South Korea and thereby undermines the bilateral security agenda. Washington deliberately set the bar on history very low for Abe because the Obama administration is more focused on the shared perception with Tokyo that contemporary China is a threat requiring a collective response. Strengthening the alliance with Japan and sealing the deal on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trumps past misdeeds. Forty years after the fall of Saigon, and in the wake of Iraq and Afghanistan, America is in no position to lecture other nations about the horrors they inflicted and an inadequate reckoning for such misdeeds. President Barack Obama pulled out all the stops to give Abe a red carpet welcome because he has delivered more on fulfilling Washington's longstanding security demands than all of his predecessors combined. But the newly expanded security role embraced by Japan enjoys little support among Japanese. As a recent Pew Poll indicates, only 23% are in favor while 68% are opposed. It is also problematic that Abe's stance on history is a factor in hindering trilateral security cooperation with South Korea, something the U.S. sees as essential. Carefully tailoring his remarks to his audience, Abe hit the right notes in many respects, and even inched forward on history. He did express \"eternal condolences\" about the loss of American lives in World War II, and noted, \"Enemies that had fought each other so fiercely have become friends bonded in spirit.\" That is welcome news, but Japan has been less successful in achieving rapprochement with other enemies, precisely because it has not taken the measure of the shared past. Many nations play fast and loose with their unpleasant histories, but Abe is mounting a significant retreat from Japan's repentant views expressed and embraced since the mid-1990s, and actively promotes a valorizing and exonerating history under the banner of patriotic education. He is putting his personal agenda on history ahead of the national interest and therefore not meeting the test of statesmanship. Of course there is nothing that Abe could say that would satisfy China or South Korea, two nations that suffered longest and most from Japanese depredations from the late 19th century. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't try a bit harder. What Abe said is, \"Post war, we started out on our path bearing in mind feelings of deep remorse over the war. Our actions brought suffering to the peoples in Asian countries. We must not avert our eyes from that. I will uphold the views expressed", "summary": "Abe did express \"eternal condolences\" about the loss of American lives in World War II .

ISIS claimed to have executed that many soldiers captured in June outside Camp Speicher, a fortified Iraqi base near Tikrit. A total of 47 bodies have been exhumed from two of the 11 mass graves discovered in Tikrit, an Iraqi government official said Tuesday. Hundreds are believed to have been executed by ISIS in June 2014 . Grieving Iraqis, apparently not related to the soldiers, gathered to pray over the bodies. When the first three bodies were found, 10 Iraqi soldiers saluted the dead by firing seven shots into the air. The national anthem was played while soldiers wept. All the bodies were decomposed. Some had their hands bound, Damon said. The remains will be sent back to Baghdad for DNA tests to establish identify, said Ali Tahir, a director in the Iraqi morgue who was supervising the digging and extraction. Damon said there may be eight mass graves inside the presidential palace complex, which contains the residences of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and two other sites outside the city. The presidential palaces complex became ISIS headquarters after the militants occupied the city. Iraqi soldiers and Shiite militias retook Tikrit a few days ago after a fierce battle. Damon interviewed a soldier who said he survived the massacre by playing dead. The solider said ISIS captured the troops outside Camp Speicher and marched them to the presidential palace complex, telling them they would be safe until a prisoner swap was arranged. Once inside the compound, the soldiers were separated into smaller groups, executed and buried in mass graves, the survivor told Damon. He said he was tossed into a river and floated to an embankment. On Monday, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said revenge is not the way to deal with the discovery of the bodies. He said several people involved in the killings have been detained. Families of the missing soldiers had been demanding answers from the Iraqi government about what happened. As ISIS swept through northern Iraq in June, some military units were ordered to Camp Speicher. Their families claim the men received orders from their commanders to leave the base and move closer to Baghdad. They left unarmed and in civilian clothes, they say. Military commanders and the Iraqi Defense Ministry denied any such orders being issued and said the men deserted. ISIS released videos that showed what seemed to be an endless line of military recruits marched at gunpoint and later posted images showing cold-blooded mass killings. Damon said Iraqi officials told her it may take weeks or months to exhume all the bodies.

Gray, 25, died in police custody from a fatal spinal cord injury, one week after he was arrested. Six officers involved in his arrest have been suspended with pay pending an investigation. Mosby, 35, who comes from a long line of police officers, including her grandfather, four uncles and her mother, assumes a key role in the latest case to draw national attention to the issue of relations between police officers and the communities they are sworn to serve. \"My grandfather was one of the first African-American police officers in Massachusetts and one of the things he instilled on us is the importance of public service,\" Mosby said in a campaign video. Freddie Gray's mysterious death has turned the largely black city near the nation's capital into a tinderbox where mostly peaceful demonstrations on Monday erupted in pockets of looting and rioting in the hours after Gray's funeral.

+{"article": "(CNN)[Breaking news update, posted at 5:22 p.m. ET] . None of the girls rescued from raided Boko Haram camps in Nigeria has been identified thus far as among the missing Chibok girls, a high-ranking Nigerian army official said. The official did not rule out that captives from other Boko Haram camps that were raided might be girls abducted in April 2014 from a school in Chibok. The official said he would have the final word by day's end on Wednesday. [Previous story, posted at 4:52 p.m. ET] . Nigerian troops rescued 200 girls and 93 women Tuesday in the Sambisa Forest, the Nigerian Armed Forces announced on its official Twitter account. The armed forces could not immediately confirm if any of the rescued girls were among the 200 schoolgirls the militant group Boko Haram kidnapped in April 2014 from the village of Chibok. Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said the rescued girls and women are still being screened and none has spoken to their families yet. The 2014 mass abduction from Chibok led to an international social media movement, #BringBackOurGirls, to rescue them. Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group, has been kidnapping females for years and has hundreds in their custody. Nigerian troops also captured and destroyed three terrorist camps in the Sambisa Forest, the armed forces said. Chibok and the Sambisa Forest are both in the northeastern part of the country. Olukolade said troops are still combing the forest. In recent weeks, Nigerian troops and vigilantes moved into the Sambisa Forest, a known hideout for Boko Haram. Last Wednesday the troops had to retreat because of explosive devices Boko Haram planted in the forest, according to military sources and a vigilante who was with the troops. On Monday, troops re-entered the forest and on Tuesday afternoon they raided two Boko Haram camps and rescued scores of girls and women. Information about the fate of the kidnapped schoolgirls has been spotty and inconsistent, with some school officials giving conflicting figures for the number of girls who were abducted or escaped their captors. \"We have no idea where the Chibok girls are or were,\" CNN correspondent Christian Purefoy said Tuesday. The name Boko Haram translates to \"Western education is sin\" in the local Hausa language. The group has said its aim is to impose a stricter enforcement of Sharia law across Nigeria, which is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south. CNN's Jennifer Z. Deaton contributed to this report.

Ibrahim al-Rubaish died Monday night in what AQAP's media wing, Al-Malahem Media, called a \"crusader airstrike.\" The Al-Malahem Media obituary characterized al-Rubaish as a religious scholar and combat commander. A Yemeni Defense Ministry official and two Yemeni national security officials not authorized to speak on record confirmed that al-Rubaish had been killed, but could not specify how he died. Al-Rubaish was once held by the U.S. government at its detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In fact, he was among a number of detainees who sued the administration of then-President George W. Bush to challenge the legality of their confinement in Gitmo. He was eventually released as part of Saudi Arabia's program for rehabilitating jihadist terrorists, a program that U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, characterized as \"a failure.\" In December 2009, Sessions listed al-Rubaish among those on the virtual \" 'Who's Who' of al Qaeda terrorists on the Arabian peninsula ... who have either graduated or escaped from the program en route to terrorist acts.\" The United States has been active in Yemen, working closely with governments there to go after AQAP leaders like al-Rubaish. While it was not immediately clear how he died, drone strikes have killed many other members of the terrorist group. Yemen, however, has been in disarray since Houthi rebels began asserting themselves last year. The Shiite minority group even managed to take over the capital of Sanaa and, in January, force out Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi -- who had been a close U.S. ally in its anti-terror fight. Hadi still claims he is Yemen's legitimate leader, and he is working with a Saudi-led military coalition to target Houthis and supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Meanwhile, Yemen has been awash in violence and chaos -- which in some ways has been good for groups such as AQAP. A prison break earlier this month freed 270 prisoners, including some senior AQAP figures, according to a senior Defense Ministry official, and the United States pulled the last of its special operations forces out of Yemen last month, which some say makes things easier for AQAP.

+{"article": "(CNN)By some estimates, about a third of Americans use some form of alternative medicine, including homeopathic remedies because they find Western medicine inadequate. Creams such as Arnicare for pain relief or liquids such as Sidda Flower Essences for male virility are part of a $2.9 billion business that has seen \"explosive growth,\" according to the FDA. These drugs do not go through the same level of scrutiny as over-the-counter and prescription drugs. But now your over-the-counter homeopathic remedies might soon face stricter scrutiny from the federal government. Products such as the homeopathic cold remedies Coldese and Zicam, among others, came under fire Monday from experts who testified at a Food and Drug Administration hearing Monday. The two-day \"listening session,\" as the FDA calls it, is an opportunity for experts and members of the public to help the FDA decide how it should regulate these products. Critics say the agency is not doing enough. An analysis of hundreds of published studies from the National Health and Medical Research Council in Australia found that homeopathic medicine was no more effective than a placebo. There is no evidence that they actually work, the council claimed, and yet it is a multibillion dollar business. Homeopathy is a medical philosophy that essentially believes your body is the best weapon to fight disease. Homeopathic medicine is based on the idea that \"like cures like,\" meaning if something causes a symptom in your body, if you take a diluted form, it will boost your body's ability to fight it. Typically these remedies include a plant or a mineral in a tiny amount. Do homeopathic treatments for ADHD work? People who represent the industry, such as Mark Land, a member of the American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists, argue that the current FDA system is a good one and that the products available today are of high quality and label standards are enough. Critics argued otherwise. Dr. Adriane Fugh-Berman testified that most people don't entirely know what homeopathy is and \"may assume that these products are dietary supplements or are conventional drugs\" since they are often sold on the same shelves as traditional drugs. This practice is \"innately misleading,\" said Fugh-Berman, an associate professor in the department of pharmacology and physiology at Georgetown. Most consumers, she said, don't know that the FDA doesn't \"routinely review these products for identity, purity, potency, quality or stability prior to marketing.\" Opinion: Alternative healing or quackery? While many people believe the drugs are safe in large part because they are highly diluted, products such as Cold-Eeze, if taken according to the recommendations on the label, would be 10 times the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of zinc for adult females and eight times the recommendation for males, according to Fugh-Berman. Too much zinc can have toxic effects. More than 130 people using another homeopathic medicine with zinc, Zicam, reported to the FDA that they lost their sense of smell. The FDA issued a warning to consumers about it in 2009. There is a misconception that all homeopathic products are \"natural\" according to the FDA \"and therefore", "summary": "The FDA may take a more hands-on approach to regulating homeopathic medicine .

Before him rise the crumbled ruins of an enormous portal of rock, black with age but with a colossal grandeur not yet lost -- a fine example of what archaeologists call a \"zoomorphic portal\" or, more popularly, a \"monster mouth gate.\" What was once the gateway to an ancient Mayan city, built circa 700 AD and mysteriously abandoned four centuries later, stands before him. He has found the lost city of Lagunita. Now that the planet has been mapped, circumnavigated, measured and tagged in every way imaginable, the age of explorers discovering new worlds seems a quaint memory.

He has been the first to see ancient pyramids, 30 meters high, that he spotted in aerial photographs from his office among the Baroque Mitteleuropean cobbled streets of Ljubljana, Slovenia, some 10,000 kilometers away.

What does it feel like to find a lost city? \"It's a victory,\" says \u0160prajc, \"especially when the efforts are long. On several occasions we've had two, three weeks of just cutting through the bush to get to some location, without knowing what we would find. When we get to the site it feels like a big victory, like we've done it. If it had been easy, then other people would have done it already.\" Since 1996, he and his team have discovered more than 80 ancient Mayan cities in the jungles of Mexico, few of which the modern world had known before.

The Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab is responsible for the attack in the center of Mogadishu, group spokesman Abu Musab said. The attack began when two suicide bombers detonated their car at the entrance of the two-story building housing the Ministry of Education, Culture & Higher Education, Somali National Security Ministry spokesman Mohamed Yusuf said. Five gunmen then entered the building, shooting people inside, Yusuf said. Security guards at the building, and, later, Somali special forces battled the gunmen inside, witnesses said. Soldiers from the African Union, who are in Somalia in part to support the government's fight against Al-Shabaab, teamed up with Somali security forces to shoot and kill the five attackers, Yusuf said. The attack killed four Somali soldiers and eight civilians, according to Yusuf. The special forces helped people out of the building while the attack was underway, city police Capt. Mohamud Abdi said. Ali Hassan, a man who was helped from the building, confirmed that a rescue operation was happening inside. Somalia-based Al-Shabaab has battled the country's government for years, aiming to overthrow it and turn the nation into a fundamentalist Islamic state. In recent years, the group also launched terror attacks beyond Somalia's borders, sometimes targeting non-Muslims. What is Al-Shabaab, and what does it want?

+{"article": "(CNN)An Arizona police chief on Wednesday supported an officer's decision to drive his car into an armed suspect, saying that although the move could have killed the suspect, deadly force was justified. Video of the incident, recorded February 19 by the dashboard cameras of two Marana police cars, shows one of the cars running into a suspect with who had a rifle in the city about a half hour from Tucson. The suspect, 36-year-old Mario Valencia, survived and was hospitalized before being criminally charged. Marana police Chief Terry Rozema was asked Wednesday on CNN's \"New Day\" whether police were fortunate that Valencia didn't die. \"That very well may be ... that it's luck that he is still alive. The fact of the matter remains, though, deadly force was authorized,\" Rozema said. \"So if he ends up dying in that situation, (then) he ends up dying, and that's unfortunate, (but) that's not the desire of everybody,\" the chief added. The footage has stirred debate about what type of force police should have used. In one of the dashcam videos, an officer who was tailing a walking Valencia at slow speed reports over the radio that the suspect has fired one round in the air with a rifle he is accused of stealing that morning from a Walmart. Another patrol car zooms past, runs into the man from behind, then hits a short cinder block wall next to a driveway. Video from Officer Michael Rapiejko's camera shows Rapiejko's vehicle running into Valencia, with the windshield smashing as the car hits the wall. Police in Marana justified Rapiejko's actions. \"We don't know that if (Rapiejko) lets him go for another 10 seconds, (Valencia) doesn't take somebody out in the parking lot,\" Rozema said. \"And then we're answering some completely different questions: 'Why didn't you act sooner? ...

As the Boston Marathon runners begin and, hopefully, finish their exhausting run Monday, the lingering memories of the 2013 marathon blasts will be seen and felt in all sorts of ways. More public safety officials throughout the route, a finish line area that prohibits large bags, National Guard members in full uniform giving some sense of security -- those are the most obvious, visible changes. And there are less obvious ones too. With the luxury of some time and healing, the city has moved on. And that is a blessing. In the midst of that weeklong tragedy -- the bombings, the manhunt, the lockdown and eventual capture or killing of the Tsarnaev brothers -- we thought we knew what was going on. But we were too much in the midst of our own situational awareness, the fog of war. Sometimes it takes years to determine what in fact occurred and to write a narrative that reflects a multitude of voices and opinions. That narrative is just forming, and it's worth going back to highlight some of the more strategic lessons that came out of that week. As a former homeland security adviser for Massachusetts, I was intimately involved with the marathon planning; as a commentator for CNN, I saw the story evolve during that week. Some of these lessons learned are informed by the luxury of time and hindsight, others by various after-action reports and assessments, and others by the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, in which a jury found him guilty of multiple counts. On Tuesday, the trial's sentencing phase will begin, determining whether he will receive the death penalty. In national security circles, there is often a debate about whether the U.S. judicial system is well equipped for terrorism trials. Terrorism, the argument goes, is different from traditional crimes, and our system of evidence and cross-examination and the promise of counsel are not appropriate to transnational threats. Even if this argument were valid in some context -- where terrorists were picked up on battlegrounds abroad and evidence against them might be difficult to obtain -- the Boston Marathon trial made clear that the system does work. What was amazing about a trial filled with so much emotion is that it was relatively unemotional. Prosecutors presented evidence. Defense attorneys challenged the witnesses. The defendant chose not to testify. A verdict was rendered. Its simplicity not only vindicated the capacity of our constitutional system to handle these cases, but also took the mythology (maybe even the romanticism) of terrorism out of the case. It rendered Tsarnaev a common criminal. And that was a statement worth making. Recent reports about the shootout in Watertown that Friday night in 2013 show a disorganized and often unnecessarily dangerous response during the manhunt. It is truly remarkable there were not more significant friendly fire casualties beyond the wounding of Massachusetts Transit Police Officer Richard Donohue as more and more police officials came", "summary": "Boston Marathon takes place Monday, two years after bombing, and sentencing phase of trial begins Tuesday .

+{"article": "(CNN)Build a wall the length of the border with Somalia. Recruit and train up thousands of new security officers. Give them better tactics and equipment. Kenya's politicians and public have struggled with these ideas over and over. But the blood of 147 people slaughtered and 79 more injured, when Al-Shabaab opened fire at a college campus in Garissa on Thursday, has them debating them with renewed vigor. Many Kenyans had believed that security improved enough since Al-Shabaab held Nairobi's Westgate Mall under siege for four days in September 2013, resulting in the deaths of 67 people. Had it not, the massacre at Garissa University College would have been far worse, some say. Two police officers were on duty. But the number of people killed in the attack is plaguing Kenyans with self-doubt. With the highest death toll since the 1998 al Qaeda bombing on the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, many are saying security is still not tight enough. And days after the attack authorities revealed that rapid response forces arrived hours late, allowing the killings to drag on. So what should Kenya do? The answer is elusive. The battle with Al-Shabaab is not a new one, and every attempt at countering them has only helped stall the inevitable -- another attack, more deaths. Here are some of the problems plaguing Kenya's security efforts. The notion of building a wall is somewhat grandiose, since the border runs some 700 kilometers or 435 miles. Even with a wall, militants could arrive by sea to coastal towns in Kenya that have been Islamist strongholds. The border crosses through remote areas, and many Somalis have fled their country south to Kenya. Garissa, for example is populated by mainly ethnic Somalis. The border region has become so violent that many non-Muslims have fled it, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. The students at the university, many of them Christians, hailed mostly from other parts of Kenya. But Kenyans also cross north into Somalia, some to fight for Al-Shabaab, then they return home to help whip up fervor with its Kenyan affiliate al Hijra, CFR has said. The security situation may have deteriorated in recent years after Kenya's incursion into Somalia to battle Al-Shabaab there, CNN's David McKenzie said. Kenya wiped out some of the group's key bases there in Operation Linda Nchi, which began in 2011. But it made the group more diffuse -- and more likely to pop up and hit soft targets in Kenya, said terrorism expert Sajjan Gohel. It's also simply very difficult to protect every single target from attacks -- especially in Kenya. \"It will be impossible to provide adequate security throughout the country,\" Gohel said. Kenya will need a lot more help from its neighbors and the international community, including the United States, to contain Al-Shabaab. \"Al-Shabaab is not just a local terrorist group, it's a transnational outfit,\" he said. \"It operates throughout a number of countries and recruits even people from the West.\" McKenzie says Al-Shabaab is trying to maintain its relevance as other terror groups like Boko Haram, ISIS", "summary": "Kenya's security has been bogged down by concerns over civil rights .

Rand Paul made the not-so-surprising announcement that he will run for president, while in Chicago, voters will head to the polls in a very surprising runoff between Mayor Rahm Emanuel and challenger Jesus \"Chuy\" Garcia.

The 13th juror: What defense? On Monday, survivors and victims' families wept and Tsarnaev fidgeted at a defense table as jurors heard a prosecutor allege that the 21-year-old \"brought terrorism into the backyards and main streets.\" The jury on Tuesday morning began what is expected to be a lengthy deliberation process on 30 total charges, before the so-called penalty phase, should he be found guilty on any counts. It took prosecutors months to present 131 witnesses to support their claim that Hernandez killed semi-pro player Odin Lloyd, yet on Monday, Hernandez's defense team wrapped up its witnesses in less than a day. Closing arguments are scheduled for Tuesday, and the jury will begin deliberations soon thereafter. Jurors in Fall River, Massachusetts, will be asked to decide if Hernandez is culpable in the shooting death of Lloyd, whose body was found in a Massachusetts industrial park in the summer of 2013. Much of the evidence against Hernandez is circumstantial, and among the facts the jury will be asked to take into consideration are New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's testimony, the testimony of Hernandez's fiancee, some grainy footage from Hernandez's home security system and a footprint left by a Nike Air Jordan shoe.

+{"article": "(CNN)Al Qaeda has fired a verbal salvo in a multifaction battle over Yemen, saying it's offering 20 kilograms of gold to anyone who kills or captures two prominent Shia Muslim opponents, including the leader of the rebels who overtook Yemen's capital. Yemen-based Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, in a news release and wanted poster distributed online, offers the reward for the death or capture of Houthi leader Abdelmalik Bedrudin Al-Houthi and former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Converted to currency, the gold reward would be worth about $774,000. AQAP referred to Al-Houthi and Saleh as the \"two heads of evil.\" AQAP is one of several factions fighting to control Yemen. With Sunni Islamic roots, AQAP is a bitter enemy of the Houthi faction, which is Shia and widely believed to be supported by Iran. Yemen has been descending into chaos in the weeks since Houthi rebels -- minority Shiites who have long complained of being marginalized in the majority Sunni country -- forced Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi from power in January. The Houthis, allied with fighters loyal to Saleh, have since faced resistance from not only AQAP, but also a number of groups including forces loyal to Hadi.

The law is intended to end discrimination faced by common-law couples, such as not being allowed to visit partners in hospital, make medical decisions on their behalf or decide what to do with their remains.

+{"article": "(CNN)Hawaii is poised to become the first state in the nation to prohibit the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products to anybody under age 21. The state's legislature on Friday passed a bill raising the minimum legal age -- currently 18 -- to buy tobacco or e-cigarettes. The bill will now go before Gov. David Ige, whose signature would make it law in Hawaii as of January 1, 2016. Forty-six U.S. states permit the sale of tobacco to anyone 18 or older, while Alabama, Alaska, New Jersey and Utah require customers to be at least 19. Dozens of cities and towns, including New York, have already raised the minimum legal age for tobacco purchases to 21. \"This bold step will reduce smoking among young people, save lives and help make the next generation tobacco-free,\" said Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, in a prepared statement. \"Increasing the sale age to 21 will reduce tobacco use among youth and young adults, age groups when nearly all smoking begins and that are heavily targeted by the tobacco industry,\" he said. It was not clear Monday whether Ige would sign the bill, although on Friday he approved legislation banning the the use of e-cigarettes in all locations where smoking is illegal. A spokeswoman for the governor told CNN in an email that he would need some time to review the bill. The legislation comes after a report last month from the Institute of Medicine that said barring people under age 21 from buying cigarettes would have significant public health benefits. Setting the minimum age at 21 nationwide would result in nearly a quarter-million fewer premature deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer among people born between 2000 and 2019, the report estimated. Raise the smoking age? Report predicts big health benefits if we do . Teenagers, especially those between 15 and 17, are most vulnerable to addiction at a time when their brains are still developing, said the study, which was conducted at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If the minimum legal age for tobacco use was raised to 21, the prevalence of smokers among today's teens would decline by 12% when they become adults, the report said. Under the Hawaii bill, anyone caught breaking the law would face a $10 fine for the first offense and a $50 fine or community service for a second offense. A 2014 survey of Hawaii voters found that 71% favored raising the legal age to 21.", "summary": "Hawaii's legislature passes a bill raising the legal age for buying tobacco to 21 .

I suspect different parties are hoping for a girl for different reasons. Based on the so called \"Kate Effect\" and subsequent \"George Effect,\" the great British High Street is no doubt salivating at the prospect of record sales should HRH Princess (fill in the blank) of Cambridge be spotted in one of their outfits. As one headline blared this week, \"Baby girl could be worth $1.5 billion to the country.\" Magazine and newspaper editors are well aware of the dramatic rise in sales when a royal baby hits the cover, especially a little girl. And then there's Disney, which will always appreciate princesses in the zeitgeist, but as with all things relating to the monarchy, there is also a far greater historical significance should a baby girl arrive. There have been 34 Kings and only six Queens over the course of the British Monarchy's thousand-year history, and yet some of the nation's most enlightened times have occurred when a Queen has been on the throne. Elizabeth I led the country through the Golden Age, and Victoria and Elizabeth II -- the two longest reigning monarchs -- both made their mark with perhaps the most illustrious and progressive legacies of all. While it is unlikely this child will ever be crowned, as the daughter of the second-in-line to the throne, her role will be significant. Prince Charles has made no secret of his desire to slim down the monarchy, but in looking at his family's immediate bloodline -- William, Harry and George -- it stands to be a heavily male-dominated one. In an institution viewed by some as archaic and out of touch, it is imperative to have a strong female presence. Princess Anne -- Baby Cambridge's great-aunt -- grew up with three brothers, and was once described as, \"the greatest King the country never had.\" She is patron of more than 200 charitable organizations and carries out some 500 public engagements a year. A noted equestrian, she won two silver medals and a gold at the European Eventing Championships, and was the first member of the royal family to compete at the Olympics. More importantly she has supported her mother throughout her reign, flown the flag for Britain and promoted brand Windsor around the world. As the only girl born to Elizabeth and Philip, she has matched and often surpassed the accomplishments of her brothers. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, also true blood princesses, are not \"working members\" of the royal family and generally only roll out for state and ceremonial occasions.

But as with any potential threat to human health, they are preparing for the worst just in case. The CDC and the United States Department of Agriculture held a press conference Wednesday to talk about preparations. \"The risk to humans is low, our food supply is safe,\" said Dr. John Clifford, the USDA's Chief Veterinary Officer. \"We know how to address disease when we find it.\" Since mid-December, 16 states have seen bird flu turn up in commercial poultry, backyard chickens, and in flocks of wild and captive wild birds, according to the CDC. That number will likely grow as birds with the disease fly from one state to the next. On Monday, health leaders in Iowa said more than 5 million hens would have to be euthanized after bird flu was detected at a commercial laying facility there. In the United States, some 3.5 million birds had already been euthanized to prevent the spread of the disease, according to the USDA. Iowa has about 60 million laying hens, according to the Iowa Egg Council and is the top egg producer in the country. California and Minnesota, two of the country's top 10 egg producing states have also seen cases. The news is bad for the birds, but not for humans. The CDC considers the likelihood of bird to human transmission of the virus \"low\" according to Dr. Alicia Fry, a medical officer with the CDC national Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease, Influenza Division, Epidemiology and Prevention Branch. \"That said, human infections have occurred\" with another strain of the virus, found in Africa and in Asia, so the CDC cannot rule out the possibility of human infection, Fry said. \"We are cautiously optimistic\" that it won't spread to humans, but \"we are prepared for the possibility,\" she added. They are studying the current virus and creating candidate vaccines which could be used if one were ever needed. The USDA is also working on a potential vaccine for the birds. These are typical routine public health preparedness measures. The CDC said it is also monitoring at least 100 people who have worked with sick birds. None of the workers have gotten sick themselves. Most of the people who have become infected with the other strains of the virus in Asia and Africa have had direct or prolonged contact with infected birds. The virus does not spread through people eating chickens or eggs. Birds that are sick die quickly, according to Clifford. Incubation period is three to five days generally. With turkeys, they go off their water and their feed when they are sick and become lethargic or have a condition called \"torticollis\" or \"stargazing\" he said, and they die shortly after that. Farmers also see a drop in egg production. Commercial growers have taken extra precautions to disinfect vehicle tires and any equipment that comes into contact with the birds.

+{"article": "(CNN)An Egyptian court sentenced the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, on Saturday to death by hanging, along with 13 members of his group. The sentences will be appealed. The criminal court sentenced 36 other defendants to life in prison on charges of plotting terrorist attacks against state facilities. They faced charges that include \"funding the Rabaa al-Adawiya sit-in\" -- a mass protest in Cairo in August 2013 that was forcibly dispersed by security personnel -- and spreading \"false information\" to destabilize Egypt. They were arrested in a sweeping crackdown on supporters of former President Mohamed Morsy, the country's first democratically elected president, who was overthrown in 2013 in a military coup that bitterly split Egyptians. One of those sentenced to life in prison was Mohamad Soltan, a 27-year-old U.S.-Egyptian activist. He has been languishing in Cairo's notorious Tora Prison, where he has been on a hunger strike for more than 14 months. The U.S. State Department released a statement condemning Soltan's sentence and calling for his release on humanitarian grounds. The presiding judge for Badie, Soltan and the other defendants was Mohamed Nagy Shehata, who is known for his harsh verdicts. Shehata has sentenced more than 180 people to death and was the original judge in a high-profile case case involving Al Jazeera journalists. Badie had been sentenced to death before on a conviction related to a deadly attack on a police station. He has also been sentenced to life in prison for inciting violence during 2013's unrest. The Egyptian news outlet Al Ahram reported that Badie had been sentenced to death twice before, but an appeals court overturned one verdict, and Egypt's Grand Mufti disapproved of the other. During the summer of unrest, hundreds of people died when the police forcefully cleared camps set up by protesting Morsy supporters and when security forces opened fire on Morsy backers who attacked police stations, government buildings and churches. The government accused the protesters of inciting violence. After the coup, the new government outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsy was arrested, and he too faces trial. Soltan's sister, Hanaa, is anxious about what the future holds for her family. She wrote a letter to her brother expressing her feelings. \"Dear Mohamed,\" the letter read. \"I'm often asked why, and how, you've kept up your hunger strike for 14 months now, despite our pleas for you to end it.

+{"article": "(CNN)The public outrage over the \"religious freedom\" bills recently passed in Arkansas and Indiana caught the governors of those states completely off-guard, judging by their confused and contradictory responses. As poll watchers, they surely knew that most Americans now oppose the discriminatory laws and practices they accepted as normal only a dozen years ago. But the politicians underestimated the pushback organized by local and national businesses, including companies with no previous record of public support for social equality. They had better adjust to a new reality. For the past three decades, socially conservative evangelicals and pro-business interests have been powerfully allied against government regulations, environmental initiatives and social welfare programs, while supporting lower taxes for the wealthy and pushing back against the growing diversity in America's population. For many, this alliance been puzzling: Other, equally devout Christians who place more emphasis on Jesus Christ's message of unconditional love and on his denunciations of excessive wealth and neglect of the poor, have been uncomfortable with it, as have many business leaders. Their priorities, after all, are based on the bottom line. And companies that sell goods and services to the public are learning that support for discrimination -- or even passive acceptance of it -- threatens that bottom line. Hence, after Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed a law that opened a new door for discrimination against same-sex couples, the threat of boycotts and other retaliation was swift, from groups as diverse as the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Indiana Pacers, Walmart, Eli Lilly, Apple and even the Marriott International hotel chain. Marriott International was founded by J.W. Marriott, a dedicated Mormon, and is now run by his son Bill, also a Mormon who fully accepts his church's teachings about traditional marriage. Yet in June, Marriott International launched a \"#Love Travels\" marketing campaign, aimed at attracting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender travelers with an assurance of \"the company's commitment to make everyone feel comfortable about who they are.\" Asked about the discrepancy between his religious rejection of same-sex marriage and his marketing overtures to same-sex honeymooners, Marriott pointed to the Bible's injunction of unconditional love, but added \"beyond that, I am very careful about separating my personal faith and beliefs from how we run our business.\" In 2014, global spending by LGBT travelers was estimated at more than $200 billion, and spending by this market segment is rising much faster than overall spending on travel. So Marriott worries when states start to make such travelers feel unwelcome. Businesses seeking to develop brand loyalty among younger consumers have a special incentive to highlight their rejection of anti-gay bias. A CNN poll taken in February found that 72% of millennials nationwide believe that same-sex couples have the right to have their marriages recognized as valid. Even among white evangelical Protestants, 43% of millennials support same-sex marriage, compared with less than 20% of those their grandparents' age, 68 and older. It used to be that businesses could close their eyes to discrimination in areas geographically isolated from the more liberal coasts, but that is no longer possible.", "summary": "Stephanie Coontz: Indiana, Arkansas governors caught off guard by outrage, boycotts over anti-LGBT law .

+{"article": "(CNN)\"Sopranos\" theorists now have a little more to chew on. Show creator David Chase went through the famous final scene for DGA Quarterly and revealed the reasoning behind each shot. What he didn't reveal, however, was whether series protagonist Tony Soprano lives or dies. Chase's details are a master class on how to build tension in a seemingly nondescript situation, however. 'Sopranos' ending? Let it be . For those who don't recall the finale, which aired in June 2007, mobster Tony Soprano is meeting his family for dinner at Holsten's, a real-life diner and ice cream parlor in Bloomfield, New Jersey. He picks a song on the jukebox: Journey's \"Don't Stop Believin'.\" As the music plays, he waits in a booth, watching his wife and later his son come through the front door. His daughter is running late. It's a seemingly harmless get-together, one that could have happened any time in Tony's life, but it's fraught with tension, Chase observes. The Journey song \"starts to build and build into something\"; a bell rings every time someone walks through the door, and Tony looks up each time. And then there's the man in the Members Only jacket who walks in just ahead of A.J., Tony's son. He could be anybody, but given Tony's life, he could a hitman assigned to kill Tony. \"The tension is quite high now, but if you think about it, for no real reason,\" Chase told DGA Quarterly. \"Who's in the place? A guy in a jacket, Cub Scouts, a young couple, a trucker in a hat, a couple of black guys in there to buy some candy. There's no real reason for the tension to ratchet up. But it does. And that's what I love, how you make that.\" There are nods to other films, Chase observed. The way the scene is cut recalls the final bedroom scene of Stanley Kubrick's \"2001: A Space Odyssey,\" with Tony seeing himself at the next spot in time. The Members Only guy going to the bathroom is a nod to the famous scene in \"The Godfather\" when Michael Corleone shoots Sollozzo and McCluskey. The scene ends, of course, with Tony looking up as Journey's Steve Perry sings \"Don't stop --\" and then a cut to black. The public reaction caught Chase by surprise. \"I thought the ending would be somewhat jarring, sure. But not to the extent it was, and not a subject of such discussion,\" he said. \"The biggest feeling I was going for, honestly, was don't stop believing.\" Still, if anybody is hoping that Chase reveals whether Tony survives, they'll have to keep digging. The end is deliberately uncertain and existential, Chase said. \"Whether this is the end here, or not, it's going to come at some point for the rest of us,\" he said. \"I'm not saying that (he was killed). But obviously he stood more of a chance of getting shot by a rival gang mob than you or I do because he put himself in that situation. \"All I know,\" he added, \"is the end is", "summary": "David Chase walks through the ending of \"The Sopranos\" The use of particular shots and \"Don't Stop Believin' \" build tension .

As we prepared to disembark, I felt my skirt being lifted and someone groping my private parts. It was terrible. I wanted to scream, but my voice would have drowned in the noise of the crowd. I wanted to push the hands away, but my arms were pinned to my body. I wanted to cry but could only think to myself, \"Stop it! Please stop touching me.\" I was 13 years old. I never told anyone about that day until recently. Twenty-five years later, I continue to hear similar stories of women and girls being harassed on local transportation and other public spaces. The stories can be stomach churning: men masturbating on buses and at bus stops, boys stalking young girls -- both physically and online, men taking pictures of women without permission and uploading them on the Internet. Then there are just the everyday, uncomfortable stares, frequently accompanied by comments with sexual connotations. This isn't all simply anecdotal. A study by We the People found that 80% of women in Mumbai had been street harassed, primarily in crowded areas like trains and railway platforms. Most people, including women, only think of sexual violence as rape and tend to overlook touching, groping and stalking, not to mention the \"milder\" forms of ogling, leering, catcalling and whistling, even though all of this can be intimidating. Indeed, many women choose to limit their hours outside, select more conservative clothes, or opt for a longer but safer route home. It was only recently that I realized my phobia of trains likely originated with that bad experience I had as a child. I still avoid trains when I can. Most people are silent when inappropriate sexual behavior occurs to women. It was depressing to hear one young college student tell me in a recent sexual harassment workshop I led that \"staring and commenting by men is normal and I've learned to ignore it.\" The reality is that sexual harassment in India is pervasive in all aspects of life.

Out of the 2,000 women who have attended workshops I've conducted, only a handful of them have never been at the receiving end of harassment in some setting of their daily lives. Shockingly, less than 10 of them had reported harassment to any official channel. Why are we constantly limiting our options rather than confronting sexual harassment?

Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Jurors will also be asked to consider events that occurred before and after the July 20, 2012, shooting -- namely, evidence that appears to show Holmes planned his attack, even going so far as to buy his movie ticket 12 days before, along with police allegations that officers who arrived to search Holmes' apartment had to navigate booby traps incorporating gasoline and grenades. According to police, Holmes attended the midnight showing of \"The Dark Knight Rises\" at the Century Aurora 16 Multiplex Theater but left through a rear door alongside the movie screen, propping it open behind him. Holmes returned in \"head-to-toe protective gear,\" including a gas mask, about 18 minutes into the movie, police said, and threw two tear gas canisters into the theater before opening fire with an AR-15 rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and at least one .40-caliber handgun. The attack killed 12 people and wounded another 70, a level of violence not seen in Colorado since the Columbine High School shooting. Five days later, authorities discovered a package in a University of Colorado-Denver mail room that police say Holmes apparently sent. Colorado authorities had no previous contact with Holmes, outside of a 2011 speeding summons, and he graduated in 2010 from the University of California, Riverside, with highest honors and a bachelor's degree in neuroscience. He enrolled as a doctoral candidate in the University of Colorado School of Medicine's neuroscience program in 2011 but dropped out the following year without providing a reason, according to a university spokeswoman. Holmes faces 165 counts, including murder and attempted murder charges, but there have already been some notable legal battles in the run-up to the actual trial. In March 2013, Holmes offered to plead guilty so he could avoid the death penalty, a deal the district attorney declined. A few months later, a judge ruled that Holmes had to be restrained during the trial, via a hidden harness anchored to the floor.

+{"article": "(CNN)The United States is failing its partners. If you want to understand one of the reasons that terrorism has been allowed to spread, it is that the majority of our partners do not have credible and capable special operations forces to respond to and defeat the current threat -- and we're not doing nearly enough to address the problem. The trouble is that little of our foreign military financing -- including the recent Counterterrorism Partnership Funds -- goes toward this vital facet in our efforts to counter extremism. As a result, violent extremists are making troubling gains. It's not because we don't recognize the problem -- nor that we don't talk the talk. The 2015 National Security Strategy speaks to the importance of American-led partnerships, while the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review noted that we \"will rebalance our counterterrorism efforts toward greater emphasis on building partnership capacity.\" Despite this apparent recognition, the United States is not where it needs to be and instead finds itself constantly responding to crises instead of heading them off because of the failure to prioritize long-term investment in special operations units in key partner nations. As a result of this neglect, since the attacks of September 11, 2001, we have seen deadly terrorist attacks not just in the Middle East, but also in Indonesia, India and sub-Saharan Africa. Just look at the case of Kenya. On September 21, 2013, Al-Shabaab jihadists attacked the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, executing dozens of unarmed men, women, and children. Less than two years later, at Garissa University, Al-Shabaab jihadists attacked university dormitories, butchering almost 150 people. The perpetrators were separating the Christians from the Muslims and systemically executing the Christians before detonating their suicide vests. During both incidents, the Kenyan forces' response was horribly executed. Sadly, Kenya is not the exception -- and it is by no means the only country missing out on vital U.S. assistance. In 2015, U.S. taxpayers are providing $5.65 billion in foreign military finance, the majority of which is going to Israel and Egypt. Kenya, meanwhile, was slated to receive a mere $1.2 million. Nigeria, which is grappling with the rising threat of violent extremists in the shape of Boko Haram, has been afforded only $600,000. Simply put, the United States is spreading foreign military assistance too thin, while also failing to make necessary long-term commitments. It takes years to build special operations forces with credible capabilities. But although it is a worthwhile investment in terms of resources and energy, U.S. security assistance is not supporting enduring programs that build credible special operations partners.

Paramedics were called last week to a rented villa at the Sirenusa resort in St. John after the family of four fell ill. They had rented the villa from March 14 to March 22, and were later hospitalized. The illness was reported to the EPA on March 20. \"Our preliminary results do show that there was a presence of methyl bromide in the unit where the family was staying,\" said Elias Rodriguez, an EPA spokesman. Exposure to methyl bromide can result in serious health effects, including central nervous system and respiratory system damage, according to the EPA.

Sitoula, who talked to CNN through an interpreter, says she remained confident she would survive throughout her ordeal amid the rubble. \"I heard people making noise outside so I thought I would be rescued,\" she said, as she and her family sheltered in the grounds of a nearby school. \"I was confident that everybody was there outside and that I would be rescued.\" What did she do for 36 hours? \"I was just lying down,\" she says. \"There was no room to move here and there.\" Sitoula's husband Mahendra, a butcher, said he called out for help for hours after the quake, as he could hear her shouting in the rubble of the collapsed building. \"I was totally confident that she was there,\" he said. \"I never stopped calling her.

Can UVA, Phi Kappa Psi or any of the other fraternities on campus sue for defamation? The Virginia Supreme Court said in Jordan v. Kollman that \"the elements of libel are (1) publication of (2) an actionable statement with (3) the requisite intent.\" \"Actionable\" means the statement must be both false and defamatory. Of course, the law of defamation must be balanced against the freedom of speech protected under not only the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, but also the Virginia Constitution. True statements cannot be defamatory. Neither can pure statements of opinion, because they theoretically cannot be either true or false. But the Rolling Stone article certainly purported to be fact, and it apparently is not exactly what the law considers \"true.\" The individual members of the fraternity will likely be considered private individuals, and not public figures; the latter have a harder time proving defamation. A private person suing for defamation must establish that the defendant has published a false factual statement that is about the person and that it also harms the person's reputation. The private plaintiff also must show that the defendant knew that the statement was false, or believed it was true but lacked a reasonable basis, or acted negligently in checking the facts. At first blush, that sounds like it fits perfectly, right? The Columbia report may go a long way toward establishing at least a modicum of the required intent. But that's only half the battle. There are strict rules about who can be a plaintiff in a defamation action like this. The identity of the aspiring plaintiff matters. First, let's eliminate UVA. The university is a public university, and therefore it is a governmental entity. The Supreme Court has been clear on the issue of libelous statements about the government: The government cannot sue for defamation. There is no such cause of action in American jurisprudence. Now the fraternities, starting with Phi Kappa Psi. A fraternity is not an individual, but a group. A plaintiff in a defamation case must show that the statements were \"of or concerning\" the plaintiff.

Nevertheless, Google continues to market a smartphone application that lets lawbreakers pinpoint the location of police officers in the field. Google's executives won't even discuss the subject with organizations representing law enforcement. Google's popular real-time traffic app, Waze, uses GPS navigation and crowdsourcing to alert users to traffic jams, automobile accidents, stalled cars, and through its \"traffic cop\" feature, the presence of law enforcement. Most people undoubtedly use Waze's police-finding feature to avoid traffic tickets, but the app poses an enormous risk to deputies and police officers. In the days before he assassinated New York police officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu at point blank range while they sat in their patrol car last December, Ismaaiyl Brinsley is known to have used the Waze application to monitor the movements of police officers. The killer identified the location of police on his own Waze account and even posted screen captures to Instagram. While Google (which acquired Waze in 2013 for a reported $1.1 billion) claims the app \"is all about contributing to the 'common good' out there on the road,\" the risks far outweigh the potential benefits. Every day, thousands of police officers and deputies enforce traffic laws, execute arrest and search warrants, investigate domestic violence complaints and perform countless tasks that are needed to keep our neighborhoods safe and remove criminals from the streets. It takes just a couple of clicks on Waze's \"traffic cop\" icon to identify their locations and indicate whether -- in the opinion of the anonymous user -- the officer is \"visible\" or \"invisible.\" At that moment, the officer or deputy becomes an identifiable target whose whereabouts are available to any one of Waze's 50 million users worldwide. Social media has made enormous contributions to law enforcement as a \"force multiplier\" that lets citizens help police protect our communities. As we have seen with the emergence of crimes like identity theft, however, technology has the potential for evil as well as good. In the case of Waze, we are confronted with a tool that can be lethal to police officers and deputies, whose roles in society are to protect our citizens and enforce the laws that keep our communities safe. Google, whose stated mission is \"to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful,\" is now marketing an app with the potential to obstruct law enforcement and put the lives of police officers and deputies at risk.

It was 2007, and a young girl my wife mentored was found rooting through the trash just to find something to eat. That inspired me to found Food Policy Action and become politically active in a range of food issues, from hunger to factory farms. Of course, I haven't been alone in this work. One of the biggest catalysts has been \"The Meatrix,\" a 2003 animation parody based on \"The Matrix\" and produced by the GRACE Communications Foundation, which crystallized the public health risks and environmental harms of factory farming. Recently, \"The Meatrix: Relaunched\" came out. Much more than a comical redux, it's an important benchmark in the evolution of the sustainable food movement and compels us to look back at how far we've come over the last decade -- and how far we still have to go. A decade ago, concepts like \"sustainable farming,\" \"animal welfare\" and \"organic food\" were considered fringe. While some consumers were beginning to take interest in where their meat and produce came from, public knowledge of sustainable food was limited. The standard gut-wrenching images of animal cruelty and sickly calves were ineffectual and mostly turned people off instead of urging them to make better food choices. Meanwhile, factory farms continued to reap large profits while producing subpar meat, polluting air and water resources, and damaging the public's health. To be sure, America's food system is complex, and some may argue that industrial farming has been a necessity to meet our country's food needs. However, the quality of our food has been sacrificed at this supposed altar of necessity, as industrial farms reap enormous profits that they direct toward lobbying rather than improving the quality of food they produce. In 2014 alone, the biggest meatpackers and their trade groups spent a combined $4.3 million on lobbyists. And it has paid off for them: Factory farms often avoid penalties for the damage they cause to the environment and public health; and they receive ridiculous subsidies from the U.S. government that totaled $58.7 million in 2012, according to the Environmental Working Group. These factors drive down the cost of industrially sourced meat at a rate that smaller farms can't keep up with. And since the actual costs of industrially raised meat are hidden, humanely raised meat appears expensive by comparison. That's neither fair nor safe. We all deserve to know where the food we eat comes from and that it is wholesome, and we need our elected officials to take a stand against big agri-businesses to quit letting them profit off of meat and produce that jeopardize the health of the environment and the public. It's time that consumer demand for sustainable and humane food trumps the power that industrial farms hold over our elected officials.

+{"article": "(CNN)If I had to describe the U.S.-Iranian relationship in one word it would be \"overmatched.\" We're playing checkers on the Middle East game board and Tehran's playing three-dimensional chess. Iran has no problem reconciling its bad and contradictory behavior while we twist ourselves into knots over our tough choices, all the while convincing ourselves that America's policy on the nuclear issue is on the right track. Iran isn't 10 feet tall in this region, but by making the nuclear issue the be-all and end-all that is supposed to reduce Iran's power, the United States is only making Tehran taller. Consider the following: . The U.S.-Iranian relationship is not symmetrical. It's not as if we both are doing terrible things and are looking for a fair and equitable compromise to stop our respective bad behaviors. Iran is about to try a U.S. citizen and Washington Post reporter and we have made a judgment that even while we protest, we will keep the nuclear issue separated not just from this case but from Iran's serial abuse of human rights, including the behavior of its Shia militias in Iraq. I can only hope there is a carefully orchestrated behind-the-scenes plan to have Iran release Jason Rezaian. If not, we're legitimizing a bad regime and compromising U.S. values and interests in the process by not ensuring that all Americans being held by Iran come out as part of the nuclear deal. America is alienating some of our closest allies because of the Iran deal, and Iran is picking up new ones and bolstering relations with old ones who are growing more dependent because they see Iran's power rising. Our friends aren't perfect, particularly the Saudis and even the Israelis. But we need them precisely because Iran is rising. Sadly, the administration is sending signals that cutting a deal on the nuclear issue takes precedence over their priorities. In the meantime, Iran's allies, Bashar al-Assad's Syria, Hezbollah and now the Houthis -- not proxies, but instruments of convenience -- see what's happening and are willing to play and cooperate even more in the Iranian game. The Russians, too, realize that the nuclear issue gives them cover to sell sophisticated missile defense systems and soon to export even more to gain influence and hard currency. We're losing friends; Iran is gaining them. And in one of the cruelest ironies, Iran's way back into the global economy is as a result of the very issue that made it such a pariah: the nuclear issue. As the Arab world melts down and lacks a traditional epicenter of strength and power, (Egypt, Iraq, Syria), Iran is rising. The argument here is not that Iran is taking over the Middle East. But in its zone of influence, a zone critical to the United States -- Syria, Iraq, the Gulf, Yemen, Lebanon -- it is expanding its influence, not contracting.

+{"article": "(CNN)From late January, when New England was living through one of its bleakest and snowiest winters, to a warm and sunny afternoon in April, the jurors in the first-degree murder trial of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez have considered how a promising young athlete who earned millions came to take the life of his onetime friend and future brother-in-law, Odin Lloyd. The jury of seven women and five men listened to more than 130 witnesses and reviewed more than 400 pieces of evidence over the months-long trial. On Wednesday, they convicted Hernandez, who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, after deliberating more than 35 hours over parts of seven days. After the verdict, jurors agreed to meet with reporters, at times laughing nervously while shedding light on what some described as the grueling deliberation process. Here are five things to know about what they said: . While declining to discuss specifics of what happened in the jury room, jurors said they came away satisfied with their decision. \"It's a very big decision to make, and every one of us ... made sure we came to the best conclusion,\" one juror told reporters. At one point on Monday, jurors asked Judge Susan Garsh to allow smoking breaks, which were permitted during trial. Some observers thought this signaled weeks of deliberations. A male juror said some panel members had meticulously filled four to eight notebooks as they listened to testimony. \"It was hard ... for everyone,\" said a woman on the jury. \"Everyone's life changed because of this.\" Asked to elaborate, she told a reporter, \"I've been here for as long as you have.\" \"It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life,\" she said later about serving on the jury. \"Absolutely, by far.\" Asked whether they would say anything to Hernandez, one of the women on the panel said simply, \"Nothing.\" Others nodded in apparent agreement. Do they have any feelings about the 25-year-old former star? \"For me, Judge Garsh said, 'Keep your mind suspended,' \" said a female juror. \"We went in there every day with open minds. We listened to the evidence. We heard what they had to say. We got to go into a room and see and touch and feel all the evidence and that's when we came to our conclusion.\" Did they know anything about Hernandez or the case before the trial? One juror responded: \"Nothing.\" \"Very little,\" said another. About six jurors raised their hands when asked who among them was a New England Patriots fan. The jurors said they found out about Hernandez's other legal woes from Garsh only after they reached a verdict. Hernandez potentially faces three more trials, one criminal and two civil actions. Next up is another murder trial in which he is accused of killing two men and wounding another person near a Boston nightclub in July 2012. Prosecutors have said Hernandez fatally shot Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado when he fired into their 2003 BMW. Another passenger was wounded and two others were uninjured.", "summary": "Female juror: \"Everyone's life changed because of this\" The jurors said they didn't learn of the other charges against Hernandez until after the verdict .

Alaska Airlines Flight 448 was just barely on its way to Los Angeles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Monday afternoon when the pilot reported hearing unusual banging from the cargo hold. \"There could be a person in there so we're going to come back around,\" he told air traffic control. The banging in the cargo hold did come from a person and he turned out to be a ramp agent from Menzies Aviation, a contractor for Alaska Airlines that handles loading the luggage, the airline said. The man told authorities he had fallen asleep. It appears he was never in any danger. The cargo hold is pressurized and temperature controlled, the airline said. The plane was also only in the air for 14 minutes. The passengers knew something wasn't right, almost as soon as the plane took off. \"All of a sudden we heard all this pounding underneath the plane and we thought there was something wrong with the landing gear,\" Robert Higgins told CNN affiliate KABC. The pounding grew louder. \"At that point, we started hearing yelling, screams for help, very, very faint,\" Jamie Davis said. \"That's when we notified the flight attendant that there was somebody underneath us.\" As the banging continued, a federal air marshal sprang into action. \"At some point, the marshal kind of made himself known,\" said Troi Ge. \"He started banging back, and he yelled really loud and said, 'We're getting ready to land, hold on to something.'\" The emergency landing spooked the folks aboard Flight 448. Affiliate KOMO spoke to Marty Collins, another one of the passengers. \"We just took off for L.A. regular and then ... about five minutes into the flight the captain came on and said we were going back and we'd land within five to seven minutes, and we did,\" Collins said. \"When we landed was when all the trucks and the police and the fire trucks surrounded the plane.\" \"I think it's scary and really unsafe, too,\" Chelsie Nieto told affiliate KCPQ. \"Because what if it's someone who could have been a terrorist?\" The ramp agent appeared to be in OK after the ordeal. He was taken to an area hospital as a precaution, the airline said. He passed a drug test and was discharged. The employee started work at 5 a.m. and his shift was scheduled to end at 2:30 p.m., just before the flight departed. \"During a pre-departure huddle, the team lead noticed the employee was missing. The team lead called into the cargo hold for the employee and called and texted the employee's cell phone, but did not receive an answer. His co-workers believed he finished his shift and went home,\" the airline's blog said. Alaska Airlines said it's investigating.

Unfortunately, while it was a freshly produced segment, it was hardly a new story. Titled \"Baltimore Unrest Reveals Tensions Between African-Americans And Asians,\" the five-minute piece is urgently introduced with the promise that it will reveal \"what's really happening in the more troubled neighborhoods of this majority black city,\" going on state that a key ingredient of the unrest was African-Americans \"targeting Asian-owned businesses for destruction.\" A similar claim was made after Ferguson's uprising in August of last year. Indeed, it has been a toxic feature of the coverage of many episodes of mass metropolitan violence since the late 1980s, the era during which the trope of widespread hostility between Asian and black communities first took root in the media consciousness. Yes, interethnic tensions continue to exist, though they are hardly limited to Asians and blacks. And yes, this has resulted in troubling incidents and tragedies on both sides. But while reports say that during the chaotic social breakdowns of the past year, black-owned businesses were mostly protected during bouts of violence, there's little evidence to suggest a pattern in which Asian businesses have been actively targeted out of racial animus. Instead, it seems as if Asian-owned stores have experienced damage partly because they make up a portion of establishments operating in the most economically vulnerable and socially volatile of neighborhoods. In other words, they were collateral damage, along with other stores in the vicinity of riots. So it's time to call this persistent meme what it is: A misleading, hyperbolic and dangerous distraction, one that shifts blame away from the real issues. As Jennifer Lee, sociology professor at University of California, Irvine, and author of the 2002 book \"Civility in the City: Blacks, Jews and Koreans in Urban America,\" notes, \"the mainstream media continues to pit minority groups against one another to draw attention from larger structural problems that plague poor, disadvantaged communities. By directing our attention to interminority conflict, it directs blame away from the structures that perpetuate gross inequality and toward individual problems.\" Let's be honest. There were then -- and still are -- legitimate issues that exist between immigrant storeowners and the largely African American customers they serve that are rooted in extensive cultural differences. There's no denying that friction exists in the daily transaction between embattled communities trying hard to coexist under economic and social pressures. For example, in 1993, the robbery and shooting of Joel Lee, a 21-year-old Korean American at Towson State University, and the subsequent acquittal of his killer, was a point of contention between the Korean and African American communities. But things are different now. Decades after the height of media-inflamed tension between Asian and African Americans, patterns of immigration have shifted.

+{"article": "(CNN)This weekend, millions of people are expected to tune in to watch two men beat each other up. Why is this? We'll explore, but first let's get something out of the way: The big fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather won't \"save\" boxing, a sport that has fallen precipitously since its 20th century heyday. If anything, the so-called \"Fight of the Century\" just reinforces the sport's problems, as two aging heroes collide in what might be the last nationally relevant fight for a very long time. There's so much wrong with boxing's business model, but all you really need to understand is this: Most sports fans probably can't name a single active boxer after Mayweather and Pacquiao. Some might know that the long-reigning heavyweight champ is a towering Ukrainian with a boring jab-happy style, but most wouldn't come up with his name (Wladimir Klitschko). Boxing isn't fading away because we've finally awoken to its brutality but from a combination of catastrophic mismanagement and competition from Mixed Martial Arts -- a younger, more dynamic and better-managed competitor. The rocket rise of MMA's premier organization, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has matched boxing's equally dramatic decline. In the course of just two decades, the UFC has grown from a freaky-violent carny sideshow into a mainstream sport. In fact, the fan base of the UFC now rivals that of the world's most popular fighting sport: ice hockey. Some aficionados spin elaborate defenses of the hundreds of fist fights that break out every year in NHL games, claiming they make the game safer by punishing dirty play. But that's so weak. Everyone knows why the NHL hasn't cracked down on fighting hard enough to end it: fans love it way too much. As the hockey announcer Don Cherry once said, \"When [legendary tough guy] Bob Probert was fighting, did you ever see anyone get out of their seat and go get coffee.\" But why do we like to watch fights in the first place? Over the past 20 years, I've watched boxing and MMA in a spirit of nervous fascination. Watching fighters kick, punch and strangle each other, I'd be thinking, I'm a civilized person. I appear not to be a sociopath. So why am I watching? What's wrong with me? And what's wrong with all of us? Who among us hasn't felt the giddy, guilty thrill of a fistfight breaking out -- whether in a schoolyard, a hockey rink or a prize ring? We all claim to hate violence, but I think we protest too much. Inside us all, there's a creature that adores it. How else are we to explain our yen for carnage in rough sports, films, gory video games and literature? So is that it? Are we drawn to a big fight like Mayweather-Pacquiao simply by bloodlust and barbarism? Actually, I think that's only part of the story, and not the biggest part. If we just wanted blood and pain, we wouldn't bother with the tame violence of pay-per-view fisticuffs.

Summey told reporters that the city has ordered an additional 150 body cameras \"so every officer on the street\" in the city will have one. That is in addition to 101 body cameras already ordered, he said. Just before the conference was set to begin, demonstrators walked in. They were led by a man wearing a \"Black Lives Matter\" T-shirt who shouted, \"This is what democracy looks like!\" Scott's shooting stirred memories of the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, Missouri, where an unarmed black teenager was killed by a white police officer. A grand jury declined to indict the officer in that case. But not everyone agreed that Scott's case is like Brown's or that race was a factor. \"We can't get into the brain of another individual, so we can't state that,\" Scott family attorney Chris Stewart said. \"I think it would be irresponsible to say that and try and inflame a community or anything of that nature.\" An autopsy of Scott showed that he \"sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the back of his body,\" and his death was the result of a homicide, the Charleston County Coroner's Office said. Asked whether CPR was performed on Scott after Slager shot him, Driggers said: \"In the end of it (the video), what I saw was (what I) believed to be a police officer removing the shirt of the individual and performing some type of life-saving (procedure), but I'm not sure what took place there.\" The North Charleston Police department was not legally obligated to but chose to hand the case over to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, according to a news release from Scarlett A.

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

Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson Jr. ruled that Hicks' case is \"death penalty qualified,\" WRAL and WTVD reported. The 46-year-old was arrested February 10 in the deaths of Yusor Mohammad, 21, her 23-year-old husband, Deah Shaddy Barakat, and 19-year-old sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha.

The report, entitled \"Their Lives on the Line,\" examines the persecution of activists and other champions of women's rights not only by the Taliban and tribal warlords, but also by government officials. Its publication is timely. The brutal murder of Farkhunda, a young woman in Afghanistan, whose body was burnt and callously chucked into a river in Kabul, shocked the world. Accused of burning pages from the Muslim holy book, the Quran, many protested the 27-year-old's innocence. But what also made international headlines was the fact that for the first time in history, women in Afghanistan became pallbearers, hoisting the victim's coffin on their shoulders draped with headscarves, under the gazes of men; unreservedly sobbing and shouting messages of women's solidarity as they marched along the streets. In a country ranked in 2011 by a Thomson Reuters Foundation poll as the most dangerous place in the world for women, this feminist act seemed perilous. Latest figures suggest they were risking their lives to be heard. In 2013, the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) released statistics that showed the number of women killed in the country had increased by 20% from the previous year, although the number of civilian victims had decreased, said Amnesty in the report. The Special Representative of the U.N. Secretary-General in Afghanistan at the time, Jan Kubis, told the U.N. Security Council that \"the majority (of women killed) is linked to domestic violence, tradition, culture of the country. \"Women activists have been deliberately targeted.\" And according to the human rights group, little support has come from those in power. \"The Afghan government has done very little to protect them,\" Amnesty's Afghanistan researcher, Horia Mosadiq, tells CNN. \"Perpetrators almost always walk free, and threats reported by women rights defenders are often simply ignored. \"Many women defenders we spoke to said that even when they received some protection from authorities, it was often significantly less than what male counterparts or colleagues were afforded.\" During the attack on Farkhunda, \"many eyewitnesses have testified that police officers stood idly by while this woman was being lynched and killed,\" says Mosadiq. Twenty-six people were arrested and thirteen police officials suspended in connection with the attack, but she argues that this is insufficient. \"Suspending police officers is not enough, those who failed in their duty must also be held to account -- anything less will just encourage further mob violence.\" But what is striking is the resilience of the activists, who continue their work despite their lives being on the line. \"It was a remarkable moment,\" says Mosadiq, recalling the female protesters at Farkhunda's funeral. \"Unlike anything I have seen in my decades of campaigning for women's rights in our country.\" Selay Ghaffer, 32, is a women's rights activist and spokesperson for the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan -- a small but outspoken political party based in Kabul and twenty provinces that fights for issues such as democracy, social justice and women's rights.

Now, the tiny settlement of Tristan da Cunha is seeking the help of architects and designers the world over to secure its future well into the 21st century. With the help of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the UK overseas territory is holding an international competition to improve aging infrastructure and make the island self-sustainable as it approaches the 200th anniversary of its settlement. As a sign of just how removed Tristan da Cunha is from the rest of the world, there are only seven family names on the islands. Those who live there are mainly the descendants of Dutch, American and Italian sailors as well as 19th century British explorers. There are also a handful of expatriate Brits. But watching hit TV series \"Lost\"or reading up on William Golding's \"Lord of the Flies\" won't be required research for competition entrants. Instead, those with experience of renewable energy in remote regions, modern housing and developing cost-effective agrarian systems are encouraged to apply. \"The competition is looking at enhancing the built environment on the island (and) making all structures more energy efficient,\" the island's administrator, Alex Mitcham told CNN when visiting the UK recently. Mitcham explained that most existing homes and public buildings on Tristan da Cunha are small, bungalow-type structures made from made from a mix of concrete and local volcanic rock. Few have simple insulation that can lead to energy savings while the infrastructure for things like renewable power generation and internet provision remain limited. The island is also only accessible by sea 60-days-a-year through a small port in its only town, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas. According to James Porter of RIBA Competitions, contestants will have to factor in irregular design questions such as \"how can we get the material ashore and how can we actually think of ways that we can put things together once there?\" \"There are limitations on the amount of cargo that can be trans-shipped,\" he added. In total, Tristan da Cunha is made up of four islands. Tristan is the largest land mass and the only one to house people. Two more unpopulated islands, Nightingale and Inaccessible, lie close by.

+{"article": "(CNN)It took more than seven decades, but England finally got its delivery of tons of silver coins. For most of those years, the money was deep at the bottom of the Atlantic, the monetary casualty of a cruel World War II sinking. In November 1942, the unguarded SS City of Cairo was sunk by a German U-boat while carrying 296 civilians and cargo that included 100 tons of silver. The vessel sunk to more than 16,800 feet under the surface (5,150 meters) where it went undiscovered until 2011 when Deep Ocean Search decided to go looking for it. The sinking was the stuff of legend. The City of Cairo was bringing silver rupees from India to England as part of the war effort. After a stop in Brazil, two torpedos sank the ship in the Atlantic. After the ship went under, the U-boat reportedly surfaced and the captain said to the survivors in lifeboats: \"Goodnight, sorry for sinking you.\" The captain's lament is the title of a book about the event. Only a handful of people died as the ship sank but about 100 more passed away during the desperate attempt of the six boats to make it to land, which was hundreds of miles away. When the last of the lifeboats was found 51 days later, all but two people in it had died. Deep Ocean Search said in a news release that during the 2011 search it located an unnatural object on radar. A sub found the City of Cairo split into two parts, buried by silt. \"Under contract to the UK Ministry of Transport, DOS recovered several tens of tons of silver coins from a depth of (5,150 meters),\" the company said. The depth is a world record, the company claimed. Other deep-water operations reported in the media that are close to this depth include the 1987 search for the wreck of a South African Airways plane at 16,000 feet (4,700 meters) and the discovery of the SS Gairsoppa at about 15,400 feet (4,800 meters) in the North Atlantic in 2011. The BBC reported the City of Cairo salvage operation was completed in September 2013, but the British government made the company keep it secret until this week. The coins were melted and the silver sold, the BBC reported. Deep Ocean Search got a percentage of the sale, and the UK Treasury the rest, according to the BBC.

One student, Hellen Titus, told CNN she hid inside a wardrobe for nearly an hour before the gunmen came for her. Come out, they told her, you won't be shot. \"They were lying,\" she said. The gunmen herded her and maybe three dozen other students into a community room where they'd usually hang out and watch television. They were told to lie down, lectured about how the Quran forbids killing women. And then the men, Titus said, were shot in the head. One of the gunmen egged on the others. \"Shoot them!

+{"article": "(CNN)Recently, a New York judge issued an opinion authorizing service of divorce papers on a husband completely via Facebook. What exactly is \"service of process\"? Serving people with legal papers is an industry and its own body of law premised on one guiding principle: if you are going to sue someone, you should at least let them know about it. Sounds simple, right? In theory it is. In practice, it turns out people don't like being sued. It also turns out that, to many defendants, procrastination of a lawsuit is a viable defense. Just as you may avoid bad news in life, defendants tend to avoid process servers. Once a defendant has been served, that means the judicial proceedings begin. Unfortunately, that means defendants have an incentive to go \"off the grid\". Although every state is different, the law of service of process has evolved this way: the ideal and fairest way to notify a person of a lawsuit is to have another human hand the papers to the defendant in person, and have some proof that the person was the defendant. In-person service is not always possible, for obvious reasons. So, the law had to develop methods of alternate service, but carefully balance a defendant's right to have notice of a lawsuit, against a diligent plaintiff's access to court if a defendant is avoiding the inevitable. As reliable as the U.S. mail is, regular mail is not a reliable form of serving papers. Not because the postmen can't be trusted; they can. Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, will keep them from delivering those papers. Instead, it's defendants -- no wait, all of humanity -- that can't be trusted. Every one of us has ignored mail or even pretended we didn't get it. Defendants are no different. One form of alternate service is \"nail and mail\" service. This means that you take a hammer and nail, and nail the papers to the defendant's front door. The problem with that is that many defendants are nomadic by nature. Just because you find a house that a defendant stayed at, doesn't mean he'll be back there anytime soon. Another, even odder form of \"service\" is service by publication. This is an almost laughable legal fiction. If you can't find a defendant, a judge might let you serve by publication. That means that a plaintiff can take out an ad in five point font for a week in an obscure publication, on the off chance you are reading the classified ads of the Secaucus Law Journal looking for lawsuits against you. As laughable as serving someone by tweeting it sounds, it's at least more rational than this antiquated method. At first blush, the idea of service by Facebook seems to offend traditional notions of ensuring notification of a defendant of a case against him. When it comes to serving papers, however, \"traditional\" doesn't necessarily mean \"good.\" Service by publication or nailing paper to the door of an empty apartment is hardly reliable; it's just service of last resort.

In addition to the arms embargo, it also demands that the Shiite group pull back and refrain from more violence and includes sanctions aimed at controlling the spread of terrorism, according to Grant.

+{"article": "(CNN)Whether quaffing artisanal cocktails at hipster bars or knocking back no-name beers on the couch, more Americans are drinking heavily -- and engaging in episodes of binge-drinking, concludes a major study of alcohol use. Heavy drinking among Americans rose 17.2 percent between 2005 and 2012, largely due to rising rates among women, according to the study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, published Thursday in the American Journal of Public Health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines heavy drinking as exceeding an average of one drink per day during the past month for women and two drinks per day for men. Binge drinking is defined as four or more drinks for women and five or more drinks for men on a single occasion at least once during the past month. The increases are driven largely by women's drinking habits as social norms change, researchers found. In Santa Clara County, Calif., for example, women's binge drinking rates rose by nearly 36 percent between 2002 and 2012, compared with 23 percent among men. Nationwide over the course of the decade, the rate of binge drinking among women increased more than seven times the rate among men. Opinion: Why are more women drinking? \"It seems like women are trying to catch up to the men in binge drinking,\" said Ali Mokdad, a lead author of the study. \"It's really, really scary.\" The study is the first to track adult drinking patterns at the county level. In 2012, 8 percent of Americans were considered heavy drinkers and 18 percent were binge drinkers. Despite the increases in heavy drinking, the percentage of people who drink any alcohol has remained relatively unchanged over time, researchers found. Madison County, Idaho, reported the lowest rate of binge drinking in 2012, at 6 percent, while Menominee, Wis., had the highest rate, at 36 percent. Hancock County, Tenn., had the fewest heavy drinkers (2 percent of residents) and Esmeralda County, Nev., recorded the most (22 percent). Related: 1 in 5 high school girls binge drink . About 88,600 U.S. deaths were attributed to alcohol in 2010, the researchers note, and the cost of excessive drinking has been estimated at more than $220 billion per year. The increase in binge drinking doesn't surprise Terri Fukagawa, clinical director of the New Life Recovery Centers in San Jose, Calif., where 15 of her 24 treatment beds are filled with clients primarily addicted to alcohol. She said she's seen more people seeking treatment for alcoholism in the past four years. Still, she noted, \"there are a lot of people still out there needing treatment, but they won't come in unless they have a consequence like losing a job or [getting] a DUI. They think they have control over it.\" Public health experts offer a number of cultural and economic explanations for the increase in excessive drinking.

So when the aircraft is at cruise then they are left alone for a while, to have a snooze and relax, without being bothered by anyone.\" No horse is snoozing now. The flights are over and they're in Las Vegas to work. Vegas is home to the finals for the sixth time since first hosting showjumping in 2000. The venue is the Thomas & Mack Center, a stone's throw from the Strip, which had the distinction of being opened by Frank Sinatra and Diana Ross in 1983. Organizers believe more than 80,000 fans will attend this week's event, which boasts an $8 million budget. Expect Elvis Presley beaming down from the Jumbotron; chefs from the Bellagio serving VIP guests who paid upwards of $1,500 a ticket; and tennis legend Steffi Graf presenting the trophies. In the past, that was not your usual showjumping and dressage atmosphere -- but that's something the sport is trying to change. Hosting world-class horsesport in Vegas is a way to raise its profile in the United States. As with this month's showjumping on Miami Beach, the thinking is location, location, location. For the riders, few locations are comparable. \"It's like a Wrigley Field feel,\" said Tim Keener, one of the Vegas organizers, describing how the bowl of the arena will seat spectators unusually close to the action. Showjumping comes here for the showbiz. In previous years, trophies have been handed out by flying showgirls descending from the rafters. Elvis impersonators have burst into the arena on horseback. This year, a \"selfie booth\" will let fans crowd in with leading riders for awkward photos on their phones -- and there will be quite some choice of riders. Since the World Cup Finals are among the most prestigious titles available, the cast list over the next four days features almost all of the world's top names.

+{"article": "(CNN)The cover-up is often worse than the crime. Henry Louis Gates stands accused of scrubbing part of a segment in his PBS documentary series \"Finding Your Roots\" because the actor Ben Affleck put pressure on him. Affleck's concern was that the segment would have aired his family's dirty laundry, which includes a slaveholding ancestor, Benjamin Cole. Affleck said, in a statement posted on Facebook, that he \"didn't want any television show about my family to include a guy who owned slaves. I was embarrassed.\" And Gates later explained that he subbed that part of the segment for another that made for more \"compelling television.\" But providing a window into the importance of slavery's past to America's present should never just be about what makes for good television. Gates missed an opportunity. And Affleck's initial reluctance to acknowledge his truth (an impulse, he said on Facebook, he regrets) is surprising. Last month, Affleck lent his star power to support continued foreign assistance for the Democratic Republic of Congo by testifying before Congress. He isn't shy about aligning himself with causes and issues. What more could he do if his instinct is also to tackle issues closer to home: the legacy of slavery in his own family tree and how it is possible -- necessary -- to reject the racism passed through generations even today. He should have shown the courage to stay in an uncomfortable place. What a teachable moment for the country. In any case, why did he agree to do a television show if he was concerned about what might be discovered? He could have paid a genealogist to uncover his ancestry, if privacy was what he wanted. The irony here is that none of this would have ever been found out if Sony's emails had not been hacked and if Gates hadn't written to Michael Lynton, CEO of Sony Entertainment, for advice. In the leaked exchange, Lynton advised: \"I would take it out if no one knows, but if it gets out that you are editing the material based on this kind of sensitivity then it gets tricky.\" Gates acknowledges that to delete the segment at the request of a guest \"would be a violation of PBS rules.\" Then he does it anyway. Gates, however, denies doing this. After the story came to light, he released a statement saying that he \"maintained editorial control\" and decided what made \"for the most compelling program.\" For Affleck's \"Finding Your Roots\" segment, he substituted a Revolutionary War ancestor instead of the slave-owning one. If Gates thought there was no need for the slavery segment because it didn't make for good television, there would have been no need to consult with Lynton; Gates could have given Affleck what he wanted because he made the assessment of how strong Affleck's story was.

A drone carrying traces of a radioactive material was found on the rooftop of Japan's equivalent to the White House on Wednesday, police and government officials said. The discovery came on the same day a Japanese court approved a government plan to restart two reactors at the Sendai nuclear power plant in Kagoshima prefecture, more than four years after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's push to restart the reactors is unpopular among many Japanese, who view nuclear energy as too dangerous. A staff member spotted the drone Wednesday morning on the roof of Abe's residence, Tokyo Metropolitan Police said. Dozens of police investigators were dispatched to the roof to investigate the origin of the drone, which had four propeller and was 50 centimeters (20 inches) wide. Police say the drone was equipped with a small camera, smoke flares and a plastic bottle containing small traces of a radioactive material believed to be cesium, a common byproduct of nuclear reactors. Cesium was also discovered in areas around the failed Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant after its 2011 meltdown. Investigators suspect the cesium was placed in the bottle. The amount inside is not immediately harmful to humans. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the discovery is raising concerns about terrorism. \"There might be terrorism attempts in the future at the Olympics and G7 Summit using drones,\" Suga said. \"So we need to examine and review continuously the way small unmanned vehicles like drones should be operated and how to cope with the threat of terrorism from drones.

Another chronicles a husband and wife named Rich and Stacey, both of whom have jobs, who are living in a San Jose homeless shelter with their two kids because they don't have the money to go anywhere else. Although Silicon Valley has unique characteristics, it isn't the only community confronting these challenges. Our entire nation is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis. The agency I lead, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, recently released a report estimating that 7.7 million low-income households live in substandard housing, spend more than half their incomes on rent or both. These are families who are dedicating $1 out of every $2 they earn just to keep a roof over their head. And the more they spend on housing, the less they have to invest in their children's education, build up savings and shop at local businesses. These are outcomes that hurt our nation's economy and require us to respond with swift and bold action. HUD is working with local partners across the country to do just that. First, we're focusing on preserving the affordable housing that already exists. Since the mid-1970s, we have directed and insured loans for multifamily properties that have resulted in more than 700,000 affordable units. But by 2020, we're in danger of losing more than 125,000 because these mortgages are maturing, ending agreements to control rents in these units. So we've launched a preservation effort with private partners to keep these properties affordable for generations to come. We're also doing the same with public housing. Right now, the nation is losing 10,000 units of public housing every year, mainly because of disrepair, HUD created the Rental Assistance Demonstration initiative to bring private investment into the fold for the public good. It's cost neutral for the federal government and making a big impact for communities such as Lexington, North Carolina, where the local housing authority is making 58 years' worth of repairs in just 22 months, including new lighting, modern windows and better insulation to help residents stay warm and cut energy costs. RAD has allowed local communities to raise more than $733 million in new capital to date. That's why we're asking Congress to give every community the chance to participate by lifting the restrictions on this program. No American should ever have to wait six decades to have a decent and healthy place to call home. In addition to preservation, HUD is also working to create new affordable housing.

The Shiva temple pagoda may have been hundreds of years old, but before its destruction impoverished rickshaw drivers, coolies and others would publicly urinate into the gutter surrounding it while waiting for passengers or heavy loads to transport. The slightly shorter, triple-roofed Narayan pagoda allowed vegetable sellers to display their foodstuff on the temple's broad, five-level base. Both pagodas also served as public platforms. Jostling crowds of Nepalis and foreigners used to gather there because the plinths' height above street level allowed excellent views of major Hindu processions and other events. Those two landmarks fronted the enclosed dwelling place of Nepal's Hindu virgin goddess, or Kumari, whose ornate front of bricks, statues and carved wood seem to have survived the initial quakes. It is not immediately known if the inner courtyard and rooms are safe. On the other side of Durbar Square, the brick-and-wood Shiva-Parvati temple house -- where the Hindu gods Shiva and his consort Parvati shelter -- appear to also have survived. On Kathmandu's outskirts the town of Patan suffered terrible damage when its central Durbar Square lost several pagodas as structures pancaked straight down while others merely shook and cracked. Fortunately others appear to still be standing, including the Sundari Chowk temple and a surviving lucky trio of holy structures: the gray stone, Mogul-influenced Krishna Mandir; the 17th-century Bishwa Nath Mandir with its large stone elephants at the entrance; and the nearby smaller 17th-century Bimsen Mandi \"god of the traders\" pagoda. Several miles away from Kathmandu, witnesses have been unable to immediately confirm the levels of destruction which have occurred in the lavish town of Bhaktapur. The locality had undergone years of extensive restoration work thanks to foreign and local artists and funding. The town offset some of that cost by charging tourists a fee to enter its central area, which displayed refined temples, pagodas, shrines and even a restaurant built into a main pagoda, allowing diners to view the best sites while munching their meals. Elsewhere in the Kathmandu Valley, the white-topped dome of the Boudhanath Stupa remains standing, but", "summary": "Several of Nepal's best known landmarks have been destroyed by the earthquake of April 25 .

The decision to launch the balloons in the dead of night is not just to avoid confrontation with North Korea, but also with South Korea's local residents.

The charges include assault of a police officer, robbery, resisting police, disobedience to lawful orders, obstructing roadways, and interference. [Previous story, posted at 10:54 p.m. ET] . (CNN) -- In cities across the United States, marchers took to the streets to show support for protesters in Baltimore and to complain about police violence in their own towns. On Wednesday night, several hundred people streamed into Union Square for an \"NYC Rise Up & Shut It Down With Baltimore\" rally. Protesters headed west on 17th Street and were met by New York City Police officers who pushed them back. A small scuffle broke out between the two front lines and police placed at least 20 people in zip ties in the street. The NYPD also handed out fliers and used loudspeakers to tell protesters and pedestrians to stay on the sidewalk. One person was placed in ambulance and taken away. The crowd headed toward Times Square. A law enforcement source told CNN that more than 60 people were arrested during the demonstrations. The rally was organized through social media, much like protests over the killing of Eric Garner, who died while police held him in what appeared to be a chokehold. The demonstrators chanted \"Black Lives Matter\" and \"Justice for Freddie Gray\" -- the Baltimore man whose death sparked street confrontations in Baltimore. CNN affiliate WCBS reported Mayor Bill de Blasio sent a message to the protesters: \"I'd say that if you want to make change, keep things peaceful.\" A smaller rally was held Tuesday in New York. In Washington, about 500 protesters, mostly in their 20s, gathered in the middle of H Street and 7th and chanted, \"All night, all day, we're gonna fight for Freddie Gray.\" The mood seemed more festive than confrontational, with songs by Public Enemy like \"Fight the Power\" playing and sign-language interpreters translating the music and chants. The protest moved to the White House where most of the crowd dispersed. It started after most office workers had headed home and didn't disrupt the Washington workforce badly. One of the groups involved in the protest is the DC Ferguson Movement. Organizer Eugene Puryear said the march was called to show solidarity with the residents in Baltimore and to highlight that police brutality is a national issue. Several hundred people gathered in Gold Medal Park in Minneapolis for a rally organized by the group of #BlackLivesMatter. The Minneapolis group held similar events in the past in response to alleged police brutality across the country. Protests also were held in Boston and Houston. On Tuesday, violent protests took place in Ferguson, Missouri, where three people were shot, the city police reported. Police said they didn't do the shooting. A 20-year-old man was arrested and the three victims were in stable condition -- two with wounds to the neck, one in the leg, police said.

Thale's job normally requires him to walk the streets of the city he has called home for the past few years. But at the moment, he says, this is not an option. Because he is simply too afraid. The reason is a wave of anti-immigrant violence that has swept the country in recent days, leaving several dead as authorities scrambled to detain those responsible and prevent further bloodshed. The cause of this surge in violence is murky, with some blaming alleged inflammatory comments about foreign nationals from the Zulu king, local media reported, others saying a labor dispute between locals and foreigners back in March turned nasty. Unemployment in impoverished areas has also been a factor. The violence has caused thousands of immigrants to seek refuge at police stations and shelters. Thale fears he'll be attacked if he goes to work. \"I'm scared to go to town because I do not know when these people can attack and it's stressful for me,\" he told CNN. \"We're close to month end -- how am I going to pay the rent and feed my wife?\" CNN spoke to several immigrants living and working in South Africa about the crisis, which has caused South African President Jacob Zuma to postpone an overseas visit and left authorities scrambling to prevent further clashes. On Tuesday the country's Defense Minister said South Africa would deploy troops to areas where police spread too thin in order to halt the attacks. Zimbabwe immigrant Stanley Ndlovu says he is so frightened he dare not venture outside, not even to go to the local mall. He works in Johannesburg as a cleaner and gardener, and also runs a small tuck shop where workers can buy food and basic supplies at his place of work. It's a role he hears many South Africans say should belong to them alone. He feels the South African government has been far too slow to respond to the violence, which has erupted intermittently in various cities over the past few years. \"To stop violence they need to arrest and sentence the perpetrators,\" he says.

Han flies again . The trailer ended in a big way, with Han Solo and Chewbacca having apparently arrived after a flight on the Millennium Falcon. The reaction in the room of fans was nothing short of rapturous upon seeing Harrison Ford back in character as Han. A few burst into tears at the end of the the 110-second teaser. 2. That's not Tatooine . Abrams revealed that their shooting location was not meant to represent the Skywalker ancestral home of Tatooine, as many believed. Instead, it's a planet called Jakku, where much of the early action of the movie takes place. Daisy Ridley's Rey meets up with a stromtrooper, Finn (John Boyega) and that's where the adventure begins. 3. Hints of Luke and Leia . Oscar Isaac dropped a major hint that his pilot character of Poe is sent on a mission by \"a princess,\" and we're fairly certain which one he meant. Leia and Luke aren't seen in the trailer, but we hear Luke's unmistakable voice as he passes along a lightsaber, presumably to other Skywalker family members. Carrie Fisher also teased her new wardrobe, and promised no metal bikini. 4. There's less CGI than in the prequels . Abrams said he was proud that \"you can watch the movie and see what it is\" before the effects wizards at Industrial Light and Magic did their work. And yes, the new droid BB-8 (who was a fan favorite at the panel) is not CGI. 5. The ruins of the Empire are all around .

+{"article": "(CNN) A Transportation Security Administration committee concluded that full screening of airport employees nationwide would not lower the overall risk to the public, according to a report released Monday. The report by the TSA's Aviation Security Advisory Committee said that full employee screening would not \"appreciably increase the overall system-wide protection.\" Email your story ideas and tips to CNNtips@cnn.com. Full physical screening of employees also \"is incapable of determining a person's motivations, attitudes and capabilities to cause harm, among other limitations.\" \"No single measure can provide broad-spectrum protection against risks or adversaries,\" the report said. \"Therefore, risk-based, multi-layered security offers the greatest ability to mitigate risks through the application of flexible and unpredictable measures to protect commercial aviation.\" The TSA and most airports could not afford 100% employee screening, the report said. Only two major airports in the U.S. -- Miami and Orlando -- require employees to be screened through metal detectors, a CNN investigation found earlier this year. As a result of the report, TSA Secretary Jeh Johnson announced immediate actions, including criminal background checks every two years for all airport aviation workers, screening of airline and airport employees traveling as passengers, reduction of access points to secure areas at all airports and increased random screening of aviation employees. Johnson requested the TSA study after a Delta Air Lines ramp worker and passenger at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport were arrested in December for allegedly smuggling guns onto flights to New York. Since the incident, the airport has hired private security to check the bags of employees when they show up for work and has increased overall security. \"Immediately following the incident in December 2014, TSA increased the random and unpredictable screening of aviation workers at various airport access points to mitigate potential security vulnerabilities,\" Johnson said in a statement. Sen. Charles Schumer called Johnson's announcement \"a prompt response and a significant first step to closing the gaping loopholes in airport security, especially with regard to reducing access points and enhancing criminal background checks.\" Specifically, the TSA report said employee vetting should be strengthened by \"updating the list of disqualifying criminal offenses, instituting continuous activity monitoring through the inclusion of additional Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and DHS data sources, and maintaining a national database of airport employees whose credentials have been revoked for cause.\" In addition, the TSA should expand the collection of domestic intelligence, which would include monitoring social media, and expand national reward programs to encourage employees to report security issues, the report said. \"Although there is no perfect security system, the multiple layers -- which can be routinely enhanced or modified -- provide an effective means to secure passengers, employees and facilities,\" the report said. It also recommended increased surveillance of employees who work inside baggage rooms and cargo areas. CNN revealed this month that passengers filed 30,621 claims from 2010 to 2014 for valuables that were missing from luggage.

+{"article": "(CNN)The Rev. Robert H. Schuller, California televangelist and founder of the television ministry \"Hour of Power,\" died Thursday, according to his family. He was 88 years old. Schuller, also the founder of Crystal Cathedral megachurch, had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer in August 2013, a release from \"Hour of Power\" said. \"My father-in-law passed away peacefully early this morning. He was a great Dad and a great man of God,\" said Schuller's daughter-in-law, Donna Schuller, in a Twitter message. Schuller's life followed an almost Shakespearean arc. He was born in a Iowa farmhouse without running water and longed to preach from his earliest days. In his autobiography, \"Prayer: My Soul's Adventure with God,\" he described standing alone by a river and picturing himself delivering sermons to a rapt congregation. After attending a Hope College and Western Theological Seminary in Michigan, he met his wife of more than 60 years, Arvella, while preaching at her church (she was the organist). With their young family in tow, the Schullers caravanned west to California, where he rented a drive-in theater and preached from the roof of the snack bar. It was beneath the dignity of Christian ministry, some local pastors huffed. The \"passion pits\" where teenagers necked was no place for the gospel. Schuller was undeterred, and he quickly outgrew the drive-in. He called the explosive growth of his tiny congregation a \"miracle,\" though his many mainstream critics had other names for it. His confident, breezy version of Christianity -- too breezy, by some estimations -- drew hordes of seekers and lapsed Christians who were put off by the hellfire fulminations of many post-War American preachers. Schuller sold a softer, gentler message, which borrowed heavily, he acknowledged, from the father of the feel-good gospel, Norman Vincent Peale. He preached not to convert or condemn people, but to encourage them, a sentiment he called \"possibility thinking.\" People loved it. \"Evangelicalism at its best wants to be innovative and reach people,\" said Timothy Larsen, a professor of Christian thought at Wheaton College in Illinois. \"And Schuller was a master at that.\" \"What he got right is that the gospel is good news,\" Larsen continued. \"And he preached an uplifting message about personal transformation and uplift and hope.\" Some of Schuller's favored phrases, though, struck others as cornpone Christianity. \"Turn your hurt into a halo?\" said Randall Balmer, a professor of American religious history at Dartmouth College, citing one such phrase. \"That's pretty weak tea.\" Still, Balmer gives Schuller some credit. \"It may be bad theology, but it's brilliant marketing.\" In 1970, Schuller began broadcasting \"Hour of Power,\" believed to be one of the first, if not the very first, Sunday service to be shown regularly on television. With his genial smile, priestly robes and gray hair, he looked and talked like a guy who wanted nothing more than to see his flock succeed. The show, which ran for decades, reached millions, making Schuller a televangelist before the term became tarnished by the sins of his many successors.

Her husband, Philippe Braham, was one of 17 people killed in January's terror attacks in Paris. He was in a kosher supermarket when a gunman stormed in, killing four people, all of them Jewish. The terrorist, Amedy Coulibaly, recorded the attack on camera. Philippe Braham was laid to rest in Jerusalem's Givat Shaul cemetery after the attacks, not far from where the Jewish Agency held a memorial ceremony to mourn victims of terror. \"Today we all share the same pain,\" Valerie Braham said to the assembled crowd. \"I know they protect us from above.\" As Israel mourns on the nation's remembrance day, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced after his weekly Cabinet meeting that French authorities had foiled a terror plot. Valls said that France is fully mobilized following January's attack, which allowed authorities to identify and stop the planned attack. The latest news is a painful reminder of Braham's recent loss.

The video picks up seconds after the detective began yelling at the driver and mocking his accent, and also shows the unmarked car with lights flashing pulled over behind the Uber car.

+{"article": "(CNN)A former U.S. Navy aircraft carrier that survived a Japanese torpedo strike and was a massive guinea pig for two atomic bomb blasts looks remarkably intact at the bottom of the Pacific, according to federal researchers who surveyed the wreck last month with an underwater drone. The USS Independence was scuttled in January 1951 during weapons testing near California's Farallon Islands. Although its location was confirmed by a survey in 2009, researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration went looking for it again in March as part of a project to map about 300 wrecks that lie in and around the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. \"After 64 years on the seafloor, Independence sits on the bottom as if ready to launch its planes,\" mission leader James Delgado, the maritime heritage director for NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, said in a statement. Indeed, sonar images show what looks to be an airplane on one of the elevators that took planes from the Independence's hangar deck to its flight deck. The ship sits upright with a slight list to starboard, according to NOAA. NOAA's survey of the 623-foot-long, 11,000-ton carrier was conducted by the Echo Ranger, an 18.5-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle provided by the Boeing Co. The Echo Ranger traveled 30 miles from its base in Half Moon Bay, California, and hovered 150 above the carrier, which lies 2,600 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The drone used a three-dimensional sonar system provided by Coda Octopus to get images that showed how well the warship has weathered 64 years in the deep. \"This ship fought a long, hard war in the Pacific and after the war was subjected to two atomic blasts that ripped through the ship. It is a reminder of the industrial might and skill of the 'greatest generation' that sent not only this ship, but their loved ones to war,\" Delgado said in the statement. In its 20 years in the Navy, the ship played a role in some of the most important events of World War II, earning eight battle stars in the process, and the dawn of the nuclear age. Independence was seriously damaged by Japanese torpedo planes during the Battle of Tarawa in late 1943. The ship returned to California for repairs and made it back across the Pacific by July 1944 to participate in the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea and the sinking of one of the Japanese Imperial Navy's biggest warships, the battleship Musashi.

Sam Brownback on Tuesday, bans what it describes as \"dismemberment abortion\" and defines as \"knowingly dismembering a living unborn child and extracting such unborn child one piece at a time from the uterus.\" Supporters of the measure described it as a groundbreaking step, while opponents warned it was dangerous and among the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. The law does not spell out a specific time frame that limits when an abortion can occur, but it bans the dilation and evacuation abortion procedure commonly used during the second trimester of pregnancy. The law allows for the procedure if \"necessary to protect the life or health of the mother,\" according to a statement on Brownback's website. On Twitter, Brownback, a Republican, said he was proud to sign a law \"protecting life at its most vulnerable stage.\" Planned Parenthood Advocates of Kansas and Mid-Missouri sharply criticized the move, which it described as the latest in a series of \"extreme political measures aimed at denying women access to health care and at undermining their decision-making ability.\" \"Kansas is now not only the sole state with this atrocious law; it also now has more restrictions on abortion than any state in the U.S.,\" the advocacy group said in a Facebook post.

Currently parents can choose to opt out of vaccinations for medical or religious reasons, or by stating they are \"conscientious objectors,\" and still receive taxpayer funded child care benefits. Under the new \"no jab, no pay\" policy, the exemption as a conscientious objector will be removed starting January 2016. \"The choice made by families not to immunize their children is not supported by public policy or medical research nor should such action be supported by taxpayers in the form of child care payments,\" said Abbott in a joint statement with Social Services Minister, Scott Morrison. Thousands of families could lose out on welfare payments, with the Australian government estimating more than 39,000 children under the age of seven have not been vaccinated because of their parents' objections. The number of children in Australia who have not received immunization against measles and other diseases has almost doubled in the past decade, according to the government. Anti-vaccination campaigns have recently gained traction in Western countries. Some parents believe the shots cause autism, but the theory has been widely discredited. Existing exemptions on medical or religious grounds will continue said Abbott, but guidelines on religious exemptions will be tightened. \"It requires the formal position of that religious body being advised to the government and approved by the government. This is a very significant narrowing,\" Morrison told reporters in Sydney on Sunday. He added that no mainstream religious organizations have made any formal objection to immunizations.

The claim appears to be the first in Afghanistan by ISIS, CNN's Nick Paton Walsh said. It was made by an offshoot called ISIS Wilayat Khorasan. In a statement, the group said the bomber was named Abu Mohammad and he belonged to their ranks. He was targeting government workers collecting their pay at the bank, the terrorists said. He detonated his charge at the peak of rush hour on the first day of the week, when the bank would be expected to be crowded. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid, in a text message to journalists, distanced his group from the attack. \"The explosion in Jalalabad doesn't have anything to do with us and we condemn it,\" he said. ISIS refers to Afghanistan and Pakistan as the province of \"Khorasan.\" In March, CNN reported on ISIS recruiting in Afghanistan.

Buhari said he'll \"rapidly give attention\" to curbing violence in the northeast part of Nigeria, where the terrorist group Boko Haram operates. By cooperating with neighboring nations Chad, Cameroon and Niger, he said his administration is confident it will be able to thwart criminals and others contributing to Nigeria's instability. For the first time in Nigeria's history, the opposition defeated the ruling party in democratic elections. Buhari defeated incumbent Goodluck Jonathan by about 2 million votes, according to Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission. The win comes after a long history of military rule, coups and botched attempts at democracy in Africa's most populous nation. In an exclusive live interview from Abuja, Buhari told Amanpour he was not concerned about reconciling the nation after a divisive campaign. He said now that he has been elected he will turn his focus to Boko Haram and \"plug holes\" in the \"corruption infrastructure\" in the country. \"A new day and a new Nigeria are upon us,\" Buhari said after his win Tuesday. \"The victory is yours, and the glory is that of our nation.\" Earlier, Jonathan phoned Buhari to concede defeat. The outgoing president also offered a written statement to his nation. \"I thank all Nigerians once again for the great opportunity I was given to lead this country, and assure you that I will continue to do my best at the helm of national affairs until the end of my tenure,\" Jonathan said. \"I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word.\" Buhari, 72, will be sworn in on May 29. He will take the helm at a critical time, as Nigeria grapples with Boko Haram, serious economic woes and corruption.

After escaping the building for the safety of open air, my first thought was for news of friends and family. Calls didn't go through but thankfully texts and data did. I heard from everyone except my mother. Worried sick, I foolishly went into the house for a second time to get my belongings and leave for home. Another tremor -- the first of many to aftershocks that have continued to strike an already traumatized city -- shook the house. I took refuge under the same doorway. The journey towards my family home in Sifal was a map of quake destruction, with many houses -- old and new -- torn apart.

Everywhere, survivors gathered wherever they could find open space -- fields, private compounds, empty roadside lots. In Chhauni, an ice cream seller ran double-time with his cart, while his radio relayed the latest. Further ahead, a mother and daughter sat down on a pavement so that a grandchild could be fed. Across the Bishnumati River, uphill towards Maru, I ran to get away from the tall houses and made towards the Kathmandu Durbar Area. It was reduced to rubble.

The flashpoint? A controversial Beijing-backed election proposal tabled Wednesday that pro-democracy legislators have already sworn to veto, describing it as \"ridiculous.\" In a speech before the city's legislature, Chief Secretary Carrie Lam said that if approved, the proposal would give Hong Kongers the right to vote for their next leader in 2017. The catch, of course, is candidates would have to be approved by a mostly pro-China committee. Dissenting pro-democracy legislators wearing black marched from the chamber as soon as Lam's speech ended. Some legislators raised yellow umbrellas, a symbol of the Occupy movement. \"Their fake universal suffrage is an insult to everybody's intelligence; that's why we refused to stay in the chamber.\" Hong Kong Democratic Party chairwoman Emily Lau told CNN. Lau said that she and other pro-democracy candidates would cast votes to ensure it does not become law. Hong Kong has become increasingly polarized over the last few years as the city fights over what kind of political system it should have as a Special Administrative Region of China. According to the agreement signed by the United Kingdom that returned the city to Chinese control in 1997, Hong Kong would receive 50 years of \"high autonomy\" under an arrangement called \"One Country, Two Systems.\" Part of that deal included establishing an election system based on the principles of universal suffrage. But nearly eighteen years after the handover, the city continues to fight over what universal suffrage really means. Hong Kong's leaders argue its latest proposal fulfills the long-awaited promise of universal suffrage by giving each resident the right to cast a vote. All that's left is for the legislature to approve the proposal, and then everyone can go home happy, they say. Pro-democracy Hong Kongers beg to differ. \"If it is a genuine election, people should be free to stand and people should be free to vote,\" said Lau. \"Now all you have is a vote, and the candidates must be vetted by a committee consisting of business and political elites. It's horrendous. \"To say the majority of Hong Kongers want to support this nonsensical package is a blatant lie.. If nothing is changed, we will definitely vote it down.\" To become law, the proposal must receive the support of two thirds of Hong Kong's 70 legislators. But Lau and 26 other pro-democracy legislators make up more than a third of the chamber, meaning they can veto the bill. If they do, then the city's electoral reform process will effectively return to square one. Hong Kong's leadership has warned pro-democracy legislators against the veto, saying the city might never again receive a chance for political reform. \"We must strive for consensus,\" Lam told legislators. \"We sincerely hope the pan-democrats abandon their passive attitude.\" But consensus seems unlikely.

Bi Fujian, who works for state-run China Central Television, was filmed at a dinner party singing a revolutionary song that eulogizes the Communist Party's early years when he started going off script. \"The Communist Party, Chairman Mao. Don't mention that old son of a b***h. He made us suffer so bad,\" went Bi's improvised lyrics. The other dinner guests burst into laughter. Bi later apologized. \"My personal speech has led to grave social consequences, and I feel remorseful for that. I hereby sincerely apologize to the public. As a public figure, I shall learn the lesson from this incident, adhering to strict self-discipline,\" he posted on Weibo, China's Twitter-like social media platform. Making disrespectful references to China's leaders in public is considered a taboo in China, even today. And Bi's comment was directed at the man regarded by many as the country's founding father -- despite his controversial reputation. The 75-second video clip, seemingly filmed on the cellphone of another dinner guest, was uploaded on Monday. Since then, it has been removed from video-sharing sites inside China, although it was still accessible on Weibo. It's unclear when the incident occurred, or what the relationsip was between the camera person and Bi. CCTV said it would investigate. \"As a CCTV presenter, Bi Fujian's speech in the online video has led to grave social consequences,\" the network said in a statement posted on its Weibo account. CCTV did not respond to a CNN request for comment. Fondly known as \"Grandpa Bi,\" the 56-year-old TV personality was born and grew up in the Mao era. The song Bi riffed on was part of a \"red\" Peking opera that was first performed in the late 1950s. It was popularized during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s -- which was launched by Mao -- when China was torn apart by violence and social unrest. The video quickly divided China's online community. Critics said Bi, as an influential public figure, deserved a harsh punishment. But others rushed to his defense, arguing that Bi was simply enjoying himself in a private setting and was set up by whoever uploaded the clip. The video also emerged just a day before the new head of CCTV started his job, leading some to wonder if it were a case of \"a new broom sweeps clean.\" Mao still divides opinion in China. His giant portrait hangs on Beijing's Tiananmen Gate, and thousands flock to see his embalmed body at his mausoleum in Tiananmen Square in the heart of the Chinese capital. But despite this reverence, Mao's is a deeply flawed legacy. Many remember him as a brutal dictator who inspired fear, paranoia and famine, and whose actions resulted in tens of millions of deaths.

BP's vice president of communications, Geoff Morrell, said there is no doubt birds, fish, turtles, sub-sea vegetation and even sediment species were all affected in the immediate aftermath of the spill. Email your story ideas and tips to CNNtips@cnn.com. \"There's no question about that,\" Morrell said. \"But they have also, according to the data, bounced back and are recovering strongly.\" \"And there is no data that suggests there are any long-term population-level impacts to any species.\" While BP's assessment has not been disproven, the government suggests it's too soon to make long-term conclusions about the rebounding health of the Gulf. Shortly after BP released its own five-year report that concluded the Gulf has largely recovered, the trustees of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment called BP's report \"inappropriate as well as premature.\" The trustees, a collection of government agencies tasked with determining the extent of the damage from the Macondo spill, released a statement, saying, \"We know that the environmental effects of this spill are likely to last for generations.\" One government official familiar with the trustee's assessment accused BP of having \"cherry-picked\" positive results while ignoring others, something BP denies. Most long-term scientific studies on environmental disasters take longer than the five years that have passed. Studies so far have shown a variety of negative impacts on wildlife immediately after the spill, but others show some of those species are bouncing back. Fish landings in the Gulf, the amount of fish caught by the fishing industry, have returned. Oysters are also recovering in many areas. And according to the Food and Drug Administration, tests on edible seafood show no excess hydrocarbons in the region's food supply. The spill's effects on other species are less clear. Dolphins are dying at an accelerated rate along the Gulf Coast, and even more so in Louisiana where the oil hit the hardest. But the dolphin \"mortality event,\" as the government calls it, began months before the spill. Studies suggest the diseases dolphins suffer from in places like Barataria Bay, Louisiana, could be caused by oil", "summary": "April 20 marks 5 years since the BP oil spill .

The jury will begin deliberating his punishment next week. The death penalty is on the table. Dzhokhar and his brother Tamerlan, who was killed in a shootout with police, were intent on terrorizing not just Bostonians, but all Americans, prosecutors said. But the Tsarnaevs were not on the minds of most people in Boston on Wednesday. The injured victims and those who lost their lives were spoken of with reverence in somber ceremonies. Relatives of 8-year-old Martin Richard, the attack's youngest victim, and the family of Krystle Campbell stood with Gov. Charlie Baker and Mayor Martin Walsh. Bagpipes played and banners whipped in the wind on Boylston Street, the Boston Globe reported. Boston University graduate student Lingzi Lu also was killed in one of the two horrific blasts that brought chaos to the competitors and spectators near the race's finish line on April 15, 2013.

+{"article": "(CNN)The arrest and death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore has sparked protests and accusations of police brutality. But it's unclear how Gray, who was arrested on a weapons charge April 12, suffered a severe spinal cord injury that led to his death seven days later. Here are the big questions surrounding this controversial case: . What we know: Gray was arrested on a weapons charge in a high-crime area of Baltimore known for drugs. He \"gave up without the use of force,\" Baltimore Deputy Police Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said last week. An officer apparently took his Taser out and was prepared to use it on Gray, but he never deployed it, Rodriguez said. And none of the six officers involved in the arrest described using force against the 25-year-old. Gray was placed inside a police van and was able to talk, said Rodriguez, who described Gray as upset. \"And when Mr. Gray was taken out of that van, he could not talk, and he could not breathe,\" according to Rodriguez. Police have said Gray was not buckled in with a seat belt during the ride to a booking center. What we don't know: It's unknown what caused the spinal cord injury that led to his death a week after the arrest, and it's also unknown what, if anything, happened inside the van. What we know: Segments of cell phone video shot from two different positions appear to begin after Gray has been arrested and show officers dragging Gray, who is handcuffed, to a van. He can be heard screaming. \"He was dragged a bit,\" said Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, \"but then you see him using his legs to get into the van, so he was able-bodied when he was in the van. And we know that when he was finally taken out of the van, he was unresponsive.\" One woman who recorded a video of the arrest said she knew Gray. \"When I ran up the street and seen him, the first thing I asked him was he OK because I heard him screaming,\" the woman said. \"He didn't never say yes or no, he just said 'I can't breathe' and just was yelling.\" Surveillance video recorded him conscious and talking, police said. That was at 8:54 a.m. At 9:24 a.m., police called an ambulance for Gray. Police say Gray requested medical attention, including an inhaler, and an ambulance later took him to the University of Maryland Medical Center's Shock Trauma Center. Rawlings-Blake and Deputy Police Commissioner Kevin Davis have said the arresting officers should have asked for medical attention immediately after Gray asked for it. What we don't know: It's unknown why Gray screamed, and the cell phone video doesn't capture the entire incident, start to end. And it's unclear why police didn't call for an ambulance sooner. What we know: In the wake of Gray's death, six police officers were suspended. Their names were released last week. The suspensions are standard procedure after an \"in-custody death,\" said Baltimore Police Department spokesman Capt. Eric Kowalczyk. It doesn't mean the officers did", "summary": "Freddie Gray was arrested on a weapons charge April 12; he was dead seven days later .

+{"article": "(CNN)Geography is, in part, destiny for Italy: The country will always be a bridge between Africa and Europe, as the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean so starkly shows. A surge of refugees this year, usually transported by smugglers on overcrowded vessels, has sought to reach Europe via the Libyan coast. A boatload of 900 migrants who embarked from Libya are now feared dead in the latest sinking. Over 10,000 were rescued off the coast of Italy in the last week alone. European leaders are scrambling to deal with this emergency. There is a backstory here worthy of our attention, and it has to do with Italy's colonial past. Many of the refugees involved in recent disasters come from some of Italy's former colonies in North and East Africa, namely Eritrea (occupied from 1890-1941) and Somalia (1908-1941). As migrants, Libyans are fewer in number, but Libya (1912-1941) plays a central role in the current crisis as the main departure point for Italy. Italy's empire never rivaled that of the British and the French in scope and longevity, but those who lived in its possessions were no less affected. Indeed, the migrants traversing the Mediterranean today form part of a century-long chain of migrations, expulsions, and exiles sparked by Italy's imperial ambition and commercial interests, the post-colonial anger of African leaders, and now mass economic desperation and political strife. Long after the formal end of Italian colonialism, these Eritreans, Somalis, and Libyans have inherited the histories of influence and exploitation that shaped their home countries. It also affects the treatment of Africans who settle in Italy. Libya is an example of the long reach of Italian imperialism. Libya was for a brief period an incorporated province of Italy, on the model of French Algeria, and Libyan families still feel the devastating effects of the fascist dictatorship's persecution of those who resisted Italian occupation. Over 100,000 Libyan men, women, and children were deported to concentration camps deep in the desert in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and much of the ruling class was exiled or executed. Col. Moammar Gadhafi, who ruled from 1969 to 2011, was born during the Italian occupation of his country, and his identity as a revolutionary was shaped by the example of resistance leaders such as Omar al-Mukhtar, who was hanged by the fascists in front of 20,000 of his people in 1931. In 1970, soon after he took power, Gadhafi struck back, expelling the remaining Italian community in Libya. Some of those people had grown up entirely in Libya. They arrived in Italy for the first time, at some of the same ports receiving migrants today. This political intervention did not spell the end of Italian-Libyan commercial dealings, which grew out of colonial-era relations that had made Libya Italy's biggest oil supplier. Since 2004, Italy and Libya have been directly connected by the Greenstream natural gas pipeline, which runs below the Mediterranean, on the same axis as many migrant boats. Commercial concerns, and the cozy relationship of then-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Gadhafi, also lay behind a historic", "summary": "Ruth Ben-Ghiat: Italy's colonial past plays a key role in the migrant humanitarian disaster in the Mediterranean .

+{"article": "(CNN)Fifty years ago in Frankfurt, German prosecutors tried 22 former Nazi SS soldiers at Auschwitz in what remains the most famous Holocaust trial staged in Germany. At the time, Fritz Bauer, the German-Jewish attorney general of Hessen, expressed the simple hope that \"sooner or later, one of the accused would step forward and say: 'What took place -- it was horrific, I'm sorry.' Then the entire world would exhale, as would all the survivors of those killed at Auschwitz, and the air would be cleared.\" Sadly, Bauer observed, \"it has not been uttered, nor will it be.\" The refusal of perpetrators to own up to their guilt remains one of the most disappointing aspects of Holocaust trials. John Demjanjuk, whose conviction by a Munich court in 2011 established the precedent that has now made possible the trial of Oskar Gr\u00f6ning, remained defiantly silent during his 18-month trial, never so much as breathing a word of acknowledgment or remorse. Over the years, some defendants have acknowledged knowing of the exterminations, but have insisted that they played no role. Those who acknowledged participating in the killing insisted that they did so out of fear of life or limb. Over the years, an extraordinary research effort was dedicated to exploring the claim that SS men had engaged in extermination out of duress. The results were astonishing: Investigators and historians failed to uncover so much as a single instance in which a German officer or NCO had been executed or even severely punished for opting out of genocide. Not one. These evasions and lies were often effective, as many German trials of Holocaust perpetrators ended either in light sentences or outright acquittal. And even when a trial ended in a conviction, what was missing was any sense of moral reckoning, an acknowledgment on the part of the accused of the perversity of genocide. Fritz Bauer can now exhale. On April 21, on the opening day of his trial in L\u00fcneburg, where he stands accused of complicity in the murder of 300,000 Jews during his service at Auschwitz, the 93-year-old Gr\u00f6ning faced the court and acknowledged, \"It is beyond question that I am morally complicit. This moral guilt I acknowledge here, before the victims, with regret and humility.\" If nothing else comes from the trial, that statement alone justifies the undertaking. Of course, in acknowledging his moral complicity, Gr\u00f6ning fell short of confessing legal guilt. Indeed, for years he has insisted in his innocence as a matter of law, arguing, in an interview with Der Spiegel in 2005, that he had been no more than a \"cog in the gears.\" At Auschwitz, Gr\u00f6ning was responsible for inspecting the luggage of deportees to the camp -- most of whom were gassed within hours of their arrival -- for banknotes that would be carefully counted and sent to Berlin. In performing this task, Gr\u00f6ning insists that he never engaged in cruel, murderous or sadistic acts -- a claim that we can probably accept as true.

The low-key video she released on Sunday announcing her run for the White House is filled with women -- young, old, black, white, Asian and Latina -- working in their gardens, taking care of their kids and getting ready for life in the working world. Clinton, who made herself the center of her campaign announcement in 2007, is barely in the video at all, appearing at the end as a kind of everywoman whose story and fight could be folded in with all the others. \"I'm getting ready to do something, too. I'm running for president,\" Clinton said in the video. \"Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion -- so you can do more than just get by -- you can get ahead.\" Clinton often says there's no better time in history to be born female than the present.

Video shows Reserve Deputy Robert Bates announcing he is going to deploy his Taser after an undercover weapons sting on April 2, but then shooting Eric Courtney Harris in the back with a handgun. In a written statement, Tulsa County District Attorney Stephen A. Kunzweiler said Bates is charged with second-degree manslaughter involving culpable negligence. It's a felony charge that could land the volunteer deputy in prison for up to four years if he's found guilty. Scott Wood, an attorney who represents Bates, said the shooting was an \"excusable homicide.\" \"We believe the video itself proves that it was an accident of misfortune that occurred while Deputy Bates was fulfilling his duties as a reserve deputy,\" Wood said. \"He is not guilty of second-degree manslaughter.\" Investigators' efforts to defend Bates and the other deputies involved in the arrest have sparked a mounting chorus of criticism online. Harris' family is demanding an independent investigation of what they call unjustified brutality. They're also questioning why the 73-year-old Bates -- the CEO of an insurance company who volunteers as a certified reserve deputy -- was on the scene in such a sensitive and high-risk sting operation. Daniel Smolen, an attorney representing the Harris family, said Bates paid big money to play a cop in his spare time. \"It's absolutely mind boggling that you have a wealthy businessman who's been essentially deputized to go play like he's some outlaw, like he's just cleaning up the streets,\" he said. Wood said his client -- who had donated cars and video equipment to the Sheriff's Office -- had undergone all the required training and had participated in more than 100 operations with the task force he was working with the day he shot Harris. But he'd never been the main deputy in charge of arresting a suspect, Wood said, but was thrust into the situation because Harris ran from officers during the arrest. \"Probably in the past four of five years since he has been working in conjunction with the task force he has been on, (there were) in excess of 100 operations or search warrants where he was placed on the outer perimeter,\" Wood said. \"He has never been on an arrest team or been the one who is primarily responsible for the capture or the arrest of a suspect. He is there more in a support mechanism.\" Bates, who worked as a police officer for a year in the 1960s, had been a reserve deputy since 2008, with 300 hours of training and 1,100 hours of community policing experience, according to the Sheriff's Office. He was also a frequent contributor to the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, including $2,500 to the reelection of Sheriff Stanley Glanz. Tulsa County Sheriff's Maj.

A federal jury's decision to convict Dzhokhar Tsarnaev of 30 charges related to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings was the most anticlimactic of anticlimaxes. The 21-year-old's lawyers admitted from the beginning that their client had participated in the horrific terrorist attack, which both scarred and strengthened this city. The outcome of this first phase may have been preordained, but nearly two years after the bombing, the trial has held Boston and the region in thrall \u2014 more so than I might have imagined. The case regularly lands on the front pages of our two daily newspapers, the Globe and the Herald, and often leads the local television newscasts. The Twitter feeds of reporters covering the trial are avidly followed. We haven't learned much new, although harrowing details about the deaths of the Tsarnaev brothers' four victims have come out. More than anything, many people find something cathartic in seeing the seemingly insolent, unrepentant Tsarnaev being brought to justice. The only issue to be decided is whether Tsarnaev should be executed. Which is why the second phase of his trial is the one that really matters. Was Tsarnaev so thoroughly under the sway of his radicalized older brother, Tamerlan, that he should be spared lethal injection? Or had this seemingly typical teenager transformed himself into a hardened jihadist who obsessed over al Qaeda propaganda such as the article \"Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom\"? What kind of justice should Tsarnaev receive? There is no death penalty in Massachusetts, and in September 2013, according to a Globe poll, 57% of respondents supported life in prison for Tsarnaev; just 33% said he should be executed. By moving the case into federal court, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder made it likely that Tsarnaev would receive the death penalty. Keep in mind that no members of the jury were deemed eligible to serve unless they stated beforehand that they were willing to consider putting Tsarnaev to death. But imagine a different scenario in which Tsarnaev had been allowed to plead guilty in return for a life sentence. He would have been denied the public stage he has been granted; although he has not testified (so far), his terrorist actions have been replayed over and over again for people to see the world over.

+{"article": "(CNN)In July of 2013, the oldest of Jesus relics stories rose again when Turkish archaeologists discovered a stone chest in a 1,350-year-old church that appeared to contain a piece of Jesus' cross. \"We have found a holy thing in a chest. It is a piece of a cross,\" said excavation team leader G\u00fclg\u00fcn K\u00f6ro\u011flu, an art historian and archaeologist. At the time, she thought the chest served as a symbolic coffin for a holy person's relics -- ones connected to Jesus' crucifixion. And then, silence. The latest relic of the cross on which Jesus had died stalled out because, as K\u00f6ro\u011flu later said, the box that had contained allegedly holy objects was now -- mysteriously -- empty. The latest episode of the \"true cross,\" a powerful identifier for the faith of more than two billion people, is symbolic of the pitfalls in the hunt for Jesus relics. To say something smacks of the \"true cross\" can mean it's a matter of divine certainty or of utter fraud. Could fragments of the true cross of Jesus really be among us today? Could fragments of a tree survive millennia? Or are they fragments of forgery that speak to our need to believe? The true cross phenomenon begins with Emperor Constantine, the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity. He sent his mother Saint Helena (c. 246-330 CE) to find Jesus objects in the Holy Land. When Helena traveled to Jerusalem in 326 CE the city was still suffering the destruction caused by the last Jewish War in 132-35 CE. After defeating Israel, Roman Emperor Hadrian built a pagan temple over Jesus's tomb near Calvary -- a grave insult to the new religion. Helena ordered this pagan temple torn down and began to dig beneath it to find relics related to Jesus. Her workers found three different crosses -- a discovery directly relating to the Gospels, which tell us that Jesus was crucified along with two criminals. The historian Rufinus (c. 340-410) reveals that in order to discern which cross was Jesus', Helena had a dying local woman brought to the site. The ill woman touched two of the crosses, but nothing happened. Then she touched the third -- and she recovered. The true cross of Jesus had been revealed. Helena carved it up, leaving some of it in Jerusalem and transporting a chunk to Europe where it seemingly multiplied, so much so that Protestant reformer John Calvin said: \"... if all the pieces that could be found were collected together, they would make a big ship-load. Yet the Gospel testifies that a single man was able to carry it.\" But was Calvin exaggerating to support his own reforms to Catholicism? How could we ever know what the true cross was made of, or looked like, since neither the Gospels -- nor the Romans -- bothered to tell us? Enter science. In 1870, French architect Charles Rohault de Fleury catalogued all known fragments of the true cross. He determined the Jesus cross weighed 165 pounds, was three or four meters high, with a cross beam", "summary": "The true cross phenomenon begins with Emperor Constantine, the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity.

Although edgy hardliners may now try to play games and complain the preliminary agreement is not what they had hoped, for many people it shows excellent progress and that's what they want. It paves the way for a much broader deal by end of June that guarantees the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear activities in return for the lifting of sanctions and a return to the international community. As is, the stakes are high and the choice is clear for President Hassan Rouhani and his \"moderate\" administration. They must now be over the moon: In early 2016, there will be Legislative and Assembly of Experts elections, the latter of which elects the country's leader. This historic agreement will make sure they win both the elections.

A full deal ultimately represents a referendum on the Rouhani administration's foreign policy. It will definitely strengthen his hand, which he needs to stay in the game, or better yet, win the next presidential race. The good news is that people are more than happy to welcome the preliminary agreement. They had always wanted a way out of the current impasse with the rest of the world and as a reward they could keep the moderates in power for the foreseeable future. Iranians blame sanctions and the previous hardline government for the sorry state of affairs in the economy -- especially the way they so poorly handled past nuclear talks of the past -- with devastating consequences. Many believe that now there is a joint comprehensive plan of action -- the culmination of a 12-year process -- there is something to hope for.

Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, a top leader of the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, was released early Friday from a jail in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi, according to Yahya Mujahid, spokesman for Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a group with which Lakhvi is affiliated. Lakhvi was charged in Pakistan in 2009, accused of masterminding the November 2008 terror attacks that left more than 160 people dead in Mumbai, India's most populous city. Lakhvi still faces trial in the case. But an anti-terrorism court granted Lakhvi bail last year, a decision the Pakistani government said it would challenge. That challenge lasted until Thursday, when the Lahore High Court ordered his release, CNN affiliate and Pakistani outlet GEO News reported. Lakhvi posted bail totaling 2 million Pakistani rupees (more than $19,000), according to GEO News. India, Pakistan's neighbor and rival, condemned Lakhvi's bail release on Friday. The country contacted Pakistan's foreign secretary to underline \"that this has reinforced the perception that Pakistan has a dual policy on dealing with terrorists, and those who have carried out attacks or are posing a threat to India are being dealt with differently,\" said Syed Akbaruddin, a spokesman for India's Ministry of External Affairs. The accusation that Pakistan might treat India differently highlights long-running tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, which have fought three wars against each other since their partition at the end of British colonial rule. Pakistan's Foreign Office responded Friday by saying, \"It would not be proper to cast aspersions on Pakistan's commitment to countering terrorism at a time when Pakistan has entered a critical stage of defeating the menace of terrorism.\" The Foreign Office also blamed what it said was India's delay in cooperating in the case, saying it \"weakened the prosecution.\" In the Mumbai attacks, heavily armed men stormed landmark buildings around Mumbai, including luxury hotels, the city's historic Victoria Terminus train station and a Jewish cultural center.

No, you don't, Katie wrote back, and told Dalton a bit about herself. Like him, she was 18, and \"my breathing is pretty crappy and I see you are in the hospital. I'm sorry. I know it sucks!...But you just gotta stay strong.\" Messages between the two flew back and forth. They realized they were falling in love. For most other couples, the next step would be to meet in person. But for Katie and Dalton, that was complicated -- and dangerous. Cystic fibrosis patients shouldn't be near each other because they can share infections that could cripple their already fragile lungs. Dr. Michael Anstead at the University of Kentucky, Katie's pulmonologist since she was a little girl, had lectured her many times that face-to-face meetings with other CF patients were a bad idea. In their online conversations, one of the first things Dalton told Katie about himself was that he had Burkholderia cepacia, a horribly dangerous infection for people with CF. \"I was like, 'Hi, I'm Dalton from Missouri and I have Burkholderia cepacia,' because it's such a big deal in the CF community,\" he remembers. \"I left the decision about whether we should meet up completely up to her.\" Katie listened to her heart, even if it might hurt her lungs. She asked Dalton to come visit her in Flemingsburg, Kentucky. \"I told Dalton I'd rather be happy -- like really, really happy -- for five years of my life and die sooner than be mediocre happy and live for twenty years,\" Katie says. \"That was definitely something I had to think about, but when you have those feelings, you just know.\" So on August 28, 2009, Dalton drove more than six hours from St. Charles, Missouri, to Katie's hometown in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, where they'd arranged to meet at the Dairy Queen. At 7:10 pm -- they remember the time precisely -- Katie got out of her car and saw Dalton leaning against a brick wall looking cool and handsome in his sunglasses. \"My heart was racing, but I just went right up to him and hugged and kissed him on the mouth without even saying hello,\" she remembers. \"I'm usually not that kind of girl, but it just felt so right.\" Katie took Dalton and his mother, Renee, who'd made the trip with him, to have dinner with her and her parents, Debbie and John Donovan. Later the young couple drove around Flemingsburg, and Dalton gave her a necklace for her nineteenth birthday, which was two days before.

He committed suicide early in the pregnancy. Eight years back, Yogita's father-in-law, also a cotton farmer, took his own life. \"He was in so much debt,\" 25-year-old Yogita said of her late husband. \"He wasn't getting any money from cotton. He chose death over distress.\" It's a familiar story in families across Western India's cotton production belt, where, a cotton lobbyist group claims, one cotton farmer commits suicide every eight hours. \"We get reports of two to three farmer suicides every day,\" said Kishor Tiwari, leader of the farmers advocacy group, Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti (VJAS). Vidarbha, in the eastern region of the state of Maharashtra, is known as the epicenter of the suicide crisis. According to VJAS data, some 2,900 farmers from the area have taken their lives since 2013; more than 500 have died since the start of this year. There are a number of reasons for the hopelessness among Vidarbha farmers. Unseasonal rain and hail destroyed many crops earlier this year. But they've also had to contend with the flipside: a plentiful harvest in 2014 drove prices down while production costs rose, leaving many farmers either lacking income or burdened with debt from loans taken out to help keep them afloat. Last year was a record year for cotton production, resulting in a glut of cotton on the world market. India produced 40 million bales of the fiber in 2013/14 crop year, and is the second largest global cotton grower, after China. The record surplus of cotton in the global market pushed down prices hurting farmers, particularly in Vidarbha, which is becoming increasingly reliant on cotton. \"Our land mostly supports only two crops: cotton and soybean. But for the past few years, soybean yield has consistently been decreasing. So we mostly depend on cotton,\" said Murali Dhidkar, a local cotton farmer. He said in the past year, cotton prices had halved. \"I'm getting around 50 dollars per quintal. Just a year ago it was 100 dollars. I've never seen such a low price. The costs of pesticides, fertilizers and seeds are increasing but the cotton price is falling down.\" He points out the dismal condition of debt-ridden farmers like himself in Vidarbha, many of whom are forced to take out loans or give up farming. \"Government officials do not come to the village and listen to our plight. Just a few days ago, my neighbor burnt himself alive,\" Dhidkar said.

How many more farmers need to commit suicide before the government steps in to find a solution to this problem?\" More than 50% of India's population is involved in the agricultural and allied sector, which contributes 18% of the country's GDP.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator and the largest machine in the world, is ready for action following a two-year shutdown. After problems that delayed the restart in March, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) completed final tests, enabling the first beams to start circulating Sunday inside the LHC's 17 mile (27 km) ring. \"Operating accelerators for the benefit of the physics community is what CERN's here for,\" CERN Director-General Rolf Heuer said on the organization's website. \"Today, CERN's heart beats once more to the rhythm of the LHC.\" The LHC generates up to 600 million particles per second, with a beam circulating for 10 hours, traveling more than 6 billion miles (more than 10 billion kilometers) -- the distance from Earth to Neptune and back again. At near light-speed, a proton in the LHC makes 11,245 circuits per second. It took thousands of scientists, engineers and technicians decades to devise and build the particle accelerator, housed in a tunnel between Lake Geneva and the Jura mountain range. The purpose of the lengthy project is to recreate the conditions that existed moments after the \"Big Bang\" -- the scientific theory said to explain the creation of the universe. By replicating the energy density and temperature, scientists hope to uncover how the universe evolved. Our current, limited, knowledge is based on what's called The Standard Model of particle physics. \"But we know that this model is not complete,\" Dr. Mike Lamont, operations group leader at the LHC, told CNN in March. The burning questions that remain include the origin of mass and why some particles are very heavy, while others have no mass at all; a unified description of all the fundamental forces such as gravity; and uncovering dark matter and dark energy, since visible matter accounts for only 4 percent of the universe. The LHC could also question the idea that the universe is only made of matter, despite the theory that antimatter must have been produced in the same amounts at the time of the Big Bang. CERN says the energies achievable by the LHC have only ever been found in nature. The machine alone costs approximately three billion euros (about $3.3 billion), paid for by member countries of CERN and contributions by non-member nations. The organization also asserts that its guidelines for the protection of the environment and personnel comply with standards set by Swiss and French laws and a European Council Directive.

The Navy MH-60R armed helicopter was flying from the deck of the USS Carl Vinson on a routine patrol in international airspace, the official said. An unarmed Iranian observation Y-12 aircraft approached. The Iranian aircraft made two passes at the helicopter, coming within 50 yards, before the helicopter moved off, according to the official. The official said the helicopter deliberately broke off and flew away in a 'predictable' manner so the Iranians could not misinterpret any U.S. intentions. The Navy helicopter was in radio contact with the ship during the encounter, but there was no contact between the two aircraft and no shots were fired. The Navy crew took photos of the incident but the military is not releasing them. The U.S. administration is considering a potential demarche protest against Iran, the official said. CNN has reached out to Iranian officials but has not received a response. This type of Iranian observation aircraft generally operates over the Gulf several times a month. But after the recent incident, U.S. naval intelligence did not see it again for two weeks, leading to the conclusion that the incident may have been ordered by a local commander who was then reprimanded by higher-ups. The Pentagon has noted for the last several years that most encounters with the Iranian military at sea or in air are conducted professionally, but that some missions run by Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps forces have been too aggressive against U.S. forces in the area. The U.S. military's concern has been that one of these incidents could escalate into a military encounter. This incident \"might have been buffoonery\" the official said, but there is always a risk from such actions. The incident comes as the Navy patrols the Gulf of Aden to watch for Iranian ships the U.S. believes are trying to bring weapons to resupply the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

On one side were hulking football players and pro wrestlers, competing as teams of two to eat as many pounds of steak as they could, combined, in one hour. On another was a lone 124-pound mother of four. And sure enough, in the end, Sunday's contest at Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, wasn't even close. Molly Schuyler scarfed down three 72-ounce steaks, three baked potatoes, three side salads, three rolls and three shrimp cocktails -- far outpacing her heftier rivals. That's more than 13 pounds of steak, not counting the sides. And she did it all in 20 minutes, setting a record in the process. \"We've been doing this contest since 1960, and in all that time we've never had anybody come in to actually eat that many steaks at one time,\" Bobby Lee, who co-owns the Big Texan, told CNN affiliate KVII. \"So this is a first for us, and after 55 years of it, it's a big deal.\" In fairness, Schuyler isn't your typical 124-pound person. The Nebraska native, 35, is a professional on the competitive-eating circuit and once gobbled 363 chicken wings in 30 minutes. Wearing shades and a black hoodie, Schuyler beat four other teams on Sunday, including pairs of football players and pro wrestlers and two married competitive eaters.

The landmark Big Texan restaurant offers its \"72-ounce Challenge\" daily to anyone who can eat the massive steak, plus fixings, in under an hour. Those who can't do so must pay $72 for the meal. Schuyler, who now lives in Sacramento, California, won $5,000 for her efforts. Her feat will be submitted to Guinness World Records. But mostly, she just seemed pleased to enjoy a hearty meal on the house. \"It's free, so I'm pretty happy about that,\" she told KVII. \"Otherwise it would have cost me about 300 bucks.\"", "summary": "Molly Schuyler scarfed down three 72-ounce steaks Sunday in Amarillo, Texas .

+{"article": "(CNN)It came a day early. Baltimore investigators handed their files on Freddie Gray's death over to prosecutors Thursday, but the public shouldn't expect much. It's largely a procedural step, and given the overtures from Baltimore officials, the state's attorney's decision on whether to file charges against the six officers involved in the arrest will not be immediate. No reports will be made public, police Commissioner Anthony Batts said, echoing an assertion he made last week that even after the prosecutors receive the files, the task force assigned to Gray's death will continue investigating. \"That is just us sitting down, providing all the data we have. We will continue to follow the evidence wherever it goes,\" Batts said. The Gray family's legal team had no expectations otherwise. \"I hate to say this, but I think if people are waiting for answers or charges to come,\" attorney Mary Koch said this week, \"I don't think that's going to happen based on the way the process works, and I think that the government officials need to advise people of how the process honestly works and to lower their expectations about what's going to happen.\" Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake seemed reluctant to do so during a Thursday interview with CNN. Pressed several times on whether answers would be forthcoming, the mayor seemed to dance around the question. Handing over the report represents \"an inflection point,\" she said at first, before explaining that it also marks a \"continuation in a process toward justice.\" She went on to reiterate a point officials have made several times, that releasing information hastily could jeopardize the probe and any possible prosecution. Asked again if it was fair for people to assume they would not get answers immediately, she said Baltimore officials had a \"duty to protect the justice process.\" Prodded on whether the public should expect her or Batts to announce findings, she said she didn't want to \"seek justice for optics\" and explained she had spoken to schools, clergy and community leaders about what to expect. Finally, asked flat out if people should expect an end to the saga when the report was handed over, she replied: \"Well, it can't be the end. There's been no charges. There's been no trial. It cannot be the end.\" The family understands the process and was warned at the outset to be patient, Koch said Thursday. \"We've told the family from the beginning that answers were not going to come quickly and that the investigation needed to be full and complete, ... and hopefully what will happen is the correct people are charged, those charged are prosecuted and that prosecution sticks,\" she said. Perhaps lost amid the chaos that has descended on Baltimore is that there is not one, but two investigations, seeking to determine how Gray suffered a fatal spine injury in police custody.

The microscopic polymer statue by South African sculptor Jonty Hurwitz, entitled Trust, measured just 1/100th of a centimeter and had been called the \"smallest sculpture ever made.\" But the world's tiniest woman suddenly disappeared to an unknown location, likely never to be seen again. While she was being photographed through an electron microscope -- the only way to view the minute creation -- Trust vanished, with only a smudged fingerprint left behind by her photographer as a clue. After an hour long search, Hurwitz and the photographer gave in: \"It was horror. I remember saying to him: 'You just destroyed or lost the smallest human form that was ever created in history,' said Hurwitz to CNN Ones to Watch. \"It was gone.\" But was it, really? Hurwitz is an entrepreneur-turned-artist who has applied the same tech wizardry to sculpture that he put into coding a finance site valued at over $500 million. The 45-year-old's \"Nano-sculptures\" are made from a mysterious resin -- \"a big scientific secret\", says Hurwitz -- and created through a process called \"two-photon lithography.\" Hurwitz works with a team of nanotechnology engineers at Karlsruhe University, who focus beams of ultraviolet light to \"zap\" solid the liquid resin, one 3D pixel at a time. The resulting sculptures -- he has also created a statue depicting the classical myth of Cupid and Psyche -- can lie on an ant's head. Put one into the eye of a needle, and it will barely occupy one corner. The \"Nano\" project is just one of Hurwitz' science-inspired sculptural experiments. Another one explores the properties of the mathematical constant Pi, presenting an indecipherable, \"anamorphic\" physical sculpture, whose hidden form becomes clear only when reflected in a cylindrical mirror. And he hints that a forthcoming project will also be influenced by his love of the natural world, but will sit at the opposite end of the scale to his nano-models. Hurwitz, who first made his name as the UK-based co-founder of controversial \"payday\" loans business Wonga, says he makes visual art with a team, as in traditionally collaborative art forms, such as cinema. He discusses accumulating collaborators as an aggressive start-up accumulates new talent: . \"I spent a huge amount of time scouring the world for amazing achievements of humanity and contact these people to work with them. For me the creation of an artwork these days is analogous to the creation of a film: for each piece there may 20 people involved, each one brilliant in their field.\" Hurwitz makes no secret of his desire to bring together contemporary science and art -- delighting in the fact that his nano-scale and 3D printed pieces depend on cutting edge technology, and would have been unimaginable just 10 years ago. Online, fans response has been overwhelming, he says, and the internet has become his exhibition space. It provides an \"epic scale\" that brick-and-mortar galleries can't match, he says, and estimates 13 million people have seen his sculptures since they hit the web in November", "summary": "London-based artist Jonty Hurwitz creates sculptures that are smaller than a human hair .

The latest report shows that he sped up the descent of the plane to its doom. It's terrifying. As the investigation unfolds, we will learn more about to what extent Lubitz kept his mental illness secret, or how much help he sought. How much did his battle with depression affect his fitness to fly? Should he have walked away from his job? Should his doctors have sounded alarm bells? His case raises larger and important issues about people who are burdened with mental illness and the pressure of its stigma. Too often and for too long, people with mental illness have been regarded by others around them as disasters waiting to happen. When we don't distinguish between people with a mental illness who are dangerous to society and those who are a danger to no one, we reinforce a pernicious idea that's both bad for society and bad for those with mental illness. Some people feel a need to keep their mental illness a secret while others decline to seek help. That's why in our public and more private discourse, people with mental illness and the rest of society must talk about mental illness in a way that doesn't drive some into the darkness. We need to understand this malady as an illness and not a personal failing. And we have to recognize that \"mental illness\" is a broad category encompassing many different challenges that affect people in a variety of ways. People with mental illness are no more violent than the rest of the population and with proper treatment, many can recover and live healthy, productive lives. We must encourage them to open up, and when they do, we must listen to them and take their cries for help seriously. It wasn't that long ago that a diagnosis of cancer was a tightly-kept secret that many victims of the deadly malady kept from family members, friends and especially employers. But that changed dramatically over the years as people with cancer, their family members and caregivers came together to educate and change public opinion about the disease.

In January, President Obama condemned the persecution of \"people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender,\" becoming the first president to utter the word in a State of the Union address. \"Transparent,\" about an aging father who begins living as a woman, won two top awards at the Golden Globes, while transgender actress Laverne Cox of \"Orange is the New Black\" -- who made the cover of Time magazine last year -- was just cast in a new CBS drama. The May issue of Vogue has a photo spread with transgender model Andreja Pejic, who said on Instagram this week that she \"was told by various people many times over that the chances of me ending up on these pages were slim to none.\" A transgender character had a recurring storyline on the just-wrapped final season of \"Glee,\" while transgender activist and YouTube star Jazz Jennings will star in a reality show debuting on TLC this summer. And then there's Bruce Jenner, whose physical appearance has become more feminine in recent months as the Olympic hero turned reality TV star underwent a very public gender transition. Jenner ended months of speculation in an interview that aired April 24 on \"20/20\" with Diane Sawyer. \"Are you a woman?\" Sawyer asked. \"Yes,\" Jenner replied. Now comes the new issue of Vanity Fair, with Jenner on the cover in makeup and a skimpy dress, along with a new name: Caitlyn. It's more obvious than ever that transgender people, long relegated to society's shadows, are finally stepping into the light. \"We are at a social inflection point on transgender issues,\" says Riki Wilchins, a former transgender activist and author of three books on queer theory, who believes all the attention could have a positive impact. \"Civil rights for minorities come in fits and starts. We're on an upswing now.\" Opinion: Why we need to listen to Bruce Jenner's story . Transgender is an umbrella term for people whose gender identity -- their internal, personal sense of being a man or a woman -- differs from what's typically associated with their sex at birth. Some transgender people alter their bodies through hormones and or surgery, although many don't. A 2011 study estimated that 700,000 American adults, or roughly 0.3% of the population, identified themselves as transgender. For decades, trans people, as many transgender people like to be called, rarely saw themselves represented in popular culture. But recent years have brought the \"Dancing with the Stars\" contestant Chaz Bono; filmmaker Lana Wachowski, formerly known as Larry Wachowski, a co-director of \"The Matrix\"; Jared Leto's Oscar-winning role in \"Dallas Buyers Club\"; and of course, \"Orange is the New Black,\" whose cast is a mix of ethnicities and sexualities.

The grand jury's decision not to indict means Officers John Rogers and Andrew Hutchins won't face criminal prosecution in the case. But the officers are still facing a wrongful death lawsuit from Harrison's family. The incident occurred in June, and Harrison's family filed a lawsuit in November. The release of video from one of the officer's body cameras put the shooting back in the headlines last month. In it, Harrison's mother answers the door for police and nonchalantly walks outside. \"Oh, he's just off the chain,\" she says. \"You can hear him, talking about chopping up people.\" It was a fairly routine occurrence for her to call the police for assistance with her son. An officer asks who she's talking about, and she replies, \"My son, bipolar, schizo,\" as Jason Harrison appears in the doorway behind her. He is twiddling a screwdriver between his fingers. One of the two officers called to the scene tells Harrison to drop the tool, a command the officers repeat at least four times as Harrison's mom screams, \"Jay! Jay! Jay!\" Within five seconds of that first command, the 39-year-old schizophrenic man is shot five times -- including twice in the back as he crashes headlong into the home's garage door, just a few feet from his mother.

Almost all the deaths have occurred in the perilous central Mediterranean crossing from Libya to Italy. The flows of migrants across the Mediterranean are unlikely to stop -- Italian authorities estimate that up to 200,000 migrants in Libya are waiting to cross, following 170,000 refugees and migrants who arrived in Italy last year. These flows reflect a significant increase in the number of refugees and internally displaced people across the world, with a total estimate of 51.2 million people. The latest sinking has triggered some action in the European Union, which has unveiled a new ten-point action plan. The plan includes both deterrent mechanisms, such as efforts to capture and destroy vessels being used by smugglers and a rapid return system, but also an expansion of search-and-rescue programs and a proposed new voluntary resettlement scheme, though it is reported that this may only provide 5,000 spaces. But some EU critics called for much tougher action to deter asylum seekers from making the risky journey. In a column published in the UK's Sun newspaper just hours before the sinking, Katie Hopkins declared: \"It's time to get Australian. Bring on the gunships, force migrants back to their shores and burn the boats.\" Since then, Australia's Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, has also suggested that Europe adopt a tougher approach, saying, \"The only way you can stop the deaths is to stop the people smuggling trade. The only way you can stop the deaths is in fact to stop the boats... That's why it is so urgent that the countries of Europe adopt very strong policies that will end the people smuggling trade across the Mediterranean.\" So what would it mean if the EU did \"get Australian\" in its approach to asylum seekers? And could Australia's current policy be used as a global solution, or at least one for asylum seekers trying to cross the Mediterranean? There were dramatic changes in Australia's immigration policy in 2013, in the final months of the Labor government, led by Kevin Rudd, which have been followed up and taken further by the current Liberal National coalition government, led by Abbott. In 2013, with bipartisan support of those two major parties, mainland Australia was legally \"excised\" from the migration zone. It was done so that anyone arriving without a visa by boat would not be processed in Australia.

+{"article": "Panama City, Panama (CNN)Ending a decades-long standstill in U.S.-Cuba relations, President Barack Obama met for an hour Saturday with his Cuban counterpart Raul Castro, the first time the two nations' top leaders have sat down for substantive talks in more than 50 years. The meeting in a small conference room on the sidelines of the Summit of the Americas came as the two countries work to end the Cold War enmity that had led to a total freeze of diplomatic ties. And while both leaders proclaimed progress had been made, a key stumbling block -- Cuba's place on the U.S. list of countries that sponsor terror -- remained unresolved. \"This is obviously an historic meeting,\" Obama said at the beginning of his session with Castro, claiming that decades of strain had done little to benefit either Cubans or citizens of the United States. \"It was time for us to try something new,\" he said. \u200e\"We are now in a position to move on a path toward the future.\" Castro, who earlier in the day said he trusted Obama, acknowledged there would be difficult stumbling blocks as his nation works to repair ties with the United States. But he said those differences could be surmounted. \"We are willing to discuss everything, but we need to be patient, very patient,\" Castro said. \"We might disagree on something today on which we could agree tomorrow.\" Speaking to reporters after his session with Castro, Obama said the meeting was \"candid and fruitful\" and could prove to be a \"turning point\" in his push to defrost ties with Cuba. But he said he hadn't yet decided whether to remove Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terror, an outcome that had previously been expected during the summit. The State Department provided Obama with a review of the terror status this week. \"I want to make sure I have a chance to read it, study it before we announce publicly what the policy outcome is going to be,\" Obama said. \"But in terms of the overall direction of Cuba policy, I think there is a strong majority both in the United States and in Cuba that says our ability to engage, to open up commerce and travel and people to people exchanges is ultimately going to be good for Cuban people.\" On Friday night, Obama and Castro greeted each other courteously amid an explosion of camera flashes, shaking hands before dining at the inaugural session of the conference. The two sat at the same table but not directly next to one another. Before Obama arrived in Panama on Wednesday, he spoke with Castro by phone, laying the groundwork for what will become a new era of relations between the neighboring countries. \"The Cold War has been over for a long time,\" Obama said during opening remarks at the summit Saturday. \"I'm not interested in having battles, frankly, that began before I was born.\" That exhortation, however, seemed to be lost on Castro himself, who expanded what was meant to be a six-minute speech into a 50-minute address lecturing", "summary": "\"The Cold War has been over for a long time,\" President Obama says .

+{"article": "(CNN)Since Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979, women have been barred from attending most sports events involving men. But the situation appears set to improve in the coming months after a top Iranian sports official said that the ban will be lifted for some events. A plan to allow \"women and families\" to enter sports stadiums will come into effect in the next year, Deputy Sports Minister Abdolhamid Ahmadi said Saturday, according to state-run media. But it isn't clear exactly which games women will be able to attend. According to the state-run Press TV, Ahmadi said the restrictions would be lifted for indoor sports events. The rules won't change for all matches because some sports are mainly related to men and \"families are not interested in attending\" them, Press TV cited him as saying. Iranian authorities imposed the ban on women attending men's sports events after the revolution, deeming that mixed crowds watching games together was un-Islamic. During the ensuing decades, the crowds at soccer games, Iran's most popular sport, have been all male. Iranian women were briefly permitted to attend volleyball matches under the moderate President Mohammad Khatami, but the ban was reinstated in 2005 after the more hard-line Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to power. The Iranian government has come under pressure from international sports officials over the restrictions. FIFA President Sepp Blatter called on Iran last month to end its \"intolerable\" ban on women attending soccer matches, saying the situation \"cannot continue.\" Iran had been in the running to host the 2019 edition of soccer's Asian Cup, but the tournament was awarded to the United Arab Emirates. The ban on women attending matches was widely seen as a major impediment to Iran's chances of securing the event. The ban came under the spotlight at the Asian Cup in Australia earlier this year, when thousands of female Iranian fans watched their soccer team without restriction. During the match against Iraq, activists called for the ban to end and unfurled a banner showing the face of Ghoncheh Ghavami, a British-Iranian woman detained in Iran last year while trying to watch a volleyball match. Iranian officials have denied that Ghavami was arrested for attending the volleyball game, saying she was taken into custody for \"anti-Iran activities.\" The news agency Reuters reported that she was recently pardoned by the Court of Appeal.

Ramalinga Raju, the former chairman of software services exporter Satyam Computers Services, was also fined $804,000, R.K. Gaur, a spokesman for India's Central Bureau of Investigation, told CNN. In 2009, Satyam Computers Services was at the center of a massive $1.6 billion fraud case after its then-chairman Raju admitted inflating profits with fictitious assets and nonexistent cash. Investigators say losses to investors resulting from the company's book manipulation were much higher. A special court convicted Raju and nine other people of cheating, criminal conspiracy, breach of public trust and other charges, said the Central Bureau of Investigation, which looked into the case. In the media, the case has been compared to the 2001 Enron Corp. scandal, in which a Houston energy company's earnings had been overstated by several hundred million dollars. When the scam made headlines, Satyam, which means \"truth\" in Sanskrit, was India's fourth-largest software services provider. It was serving almost 700 companies, including 185 Fortune 500 companies, and generated more than half of its revenue from the United States. The company had about 53,000 employees and operated in 65 countries. After Raju's shock disclosures six years ago, the Indian government fired Satyam's board.

The remains were uncovered by archaeologists from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna (Vetmeduni), exploring the construction site for a shopping center in the city of Tulln in 2006-2007. \"The partly excavated skeleton was at first suspected to be a large horse or cattle,\" archaeozoologist Alfred Galik said. \"But one look at the cervical vertebrae, the lower jaw and the metacarpal bones immediately revealed that this was a camel.\" In their research, published in the journal \"PLOS ONE,\" the archaeologists said Ottoman troops had besieged the area around Tulln in 1683 as they tried to reach Vienna, but that Tulln itself had never been conquered. The Ottoman Army had a \"camelry,\" using camels for transportation and to ride, they said. Despite their city not falling, Tulln inhabitants and the Ottomans were in contact, with historic documents referring to the invading army's peaceful surrender of two prisoners of war, the researchers said. But they said it would be impossible to say how it got into the city. \"Its appearance might be linked to an exchange of local people with the troops or the Ottoman army simply left it behind. Apparently, the citizens took it inside the town, where they probably kept and displayed it as an 'exotic animal,'\" they said. \"It seems quite conceivable that being not familiar with behavioral and feeding habits, the scarcity of food in wartimes, people did not keep it for long.\" While other camel bones have been found in Central Europe, the researchers said this was unique. \"It is the first complete camel skeleton found in Central Europe and Central European territories under the control of the Ottoman Empire, apart from the complete skeleton of a dromedary recovered from the sediments of the Theodosius harbor on the European part of Istanbul.\" DNA analysis on the Tulln skeleton confirmed that it had been one of a hybrid species of camel, specifically a \"Tulu,\" the offspring of dromedary female and a male with Bactrian DNA. \"The two species are able to interbreed, which results in larger, more powerful and efficient hybrid offspring,\" researchers said. \"The camel specimen from Tulln is the first archaeozoologically and genetically confirmed evidence of a Tulu hybrid camel.\" The camel was also believed to have been castrated to make it easier to handle. The Austrians' unfamiliarity with such a beast may have led to the skeleton's preservation. As opposed to the Ottoman troops -- who would likely have eaten the camel's flesh -- the residents of Tulln apparently buried the camel whole. \"The dismemberment of the carcasses certainly is a reason for the scarce preservation of camel finds in general and is indicated by bones with butchering marks in particular. However, the citizens buried this camel in a typical post-mortal position, and together with rubbish in the remnants of a cellar that was leveled,\" researchers said.

Still, on Monday, she was on a plane to head east. Then, according to her Facebook post, an airline employee who saw Sedway seated in the handicapped section asked her how she was doing. The second time she inquired, Sedway wrote that she responded by saying she sometimes felt weak. That was followed by a call to a doctor, then her removal from the plane. Egan, the Alaska Airlines spokeswoman, acknowledged that the carrier's policy when someone has a medical issue is to call MedLink, a group of ER nurses and doctors.

+{"article": "(CNN)Roseanne Barr revealed earlier this week that she is going blind. In an interview with The Daily Beast, the 62-year-old comic talked about her struggle with macular degeneration and glaucoma \u2014 two eye diseases that get progressively worse over time and can steal vision. Barr's doctors haven't provided a timeline, but her symptoms are worsening: \"My vision is closing in now,\" she said. \"I just try and enjoy vision as much as possible. Y'know, living it up.\" Related: 9 worst eye care mistakes you're making . Macular degeneration is a breakdown of the part of the retina that allows us to see fine details in the center of vision; while glaucoma damages the nerve that connects the retina to the brain, and is often caused by fluid build-up and pressure in the eyes. (Barr said in the interview that she helps relieve the pressure by using marijuana, which is known to temporarily lower pressure inside the eye.) \"It's somewhat unusual that Roseanne Bar has both, but not unheard of,\" explains ophthalmologist Steven A. Shanbom, MD, of Shanbom Eye Specialists in Berkley, Mich. Though there are some controllable risk factors, certain people are genetically predisposed to these diseases, so Barr may simply be prone to both. \"Certainly it's sad. The combination of the two is terrible. Macular degeneration takes away her central vision, and glaucoma is taking away her peripheral vision,\" Dr. Shanbom adds. (He is not treating Roseanne Barr, and does not know the specifics of her case.) The risk for both diseases goes up for everyone after age 60, with some people, especially African Americans, at higher risk in their 40s. That's why the American Academy of Opthalmology recommends getting a baseline eye exam when you turn the big 4-0, even if you have perfect vision. In the early stages, you can have either condition, but have no symptoms at all. Things like a family history or high blood pressure, or issues within the eye (like having a thinner cornea, for example) might lead your MD to prescribe drops that can reduce your chances of developing glaucoma by about half. Related: 10 natural ways to lower blood pressure . There is no cure for either disease. But like those eyedrops, there are treatments that may delay the progression of early-stage glaucoma (from other drugs to surgery), and therapies that might halt further vision loss in advanced cases of macular degeneration (including an implantable telescope). The future looks brighter however: An animal study published this month suggests that an injection of stem cells into the eye might slow or even reverse the effects of early-stage macular degeneration. There are also simple things you can start doing right now to ward off these diseases. Here, five ways to protect your peepers. Slip on your shades\u2014even when it's cloudy .

+{"article": "(CNN)This week, Hillary Clinton surprised the world yet again \u2014 not with the official launch of her campaign but for the unconventional way she did it. She sure pushed the envelope. With her video, new logo and road trip, she opened a long communications campaign not only to \"rebrand\" herself but to completely reframe who she is, what she stands for and how she intends to run. We'll find out over the next year and a half whether it will work. Many in the press and on late-night television scratched their heads this week; others were scathing. Ruth Marcus -- a columnist for the Washington Post -- dismissed her launch video as a \"relentlessly, insultingly vapid\" effort of \"demographic box-checking.\" Jon Stewart lampooned it as a \"State Farm commercial gone viral\" and also \"boring as s---.\" Since the media will likely be the stand-in primary opponent for Hillary, their belief in her authenticity is a critical factor in whether she can reframe herself in voter's eyes. But from a marketing perspective, her launch may have been much more successful than critics think. The YouTube announcement video took on the central strategic challenge for the campaign and candidate: To flip Clinton's message from self-absorbed \"I\" to empathetic \"we.\" While critics may sneer, it is hard to deny that the image it projects of Hillary is more confident, fresher, simpler and forward-looking, with even a bit of the upstart feel of two of the most successful product launch companies, Nike and Apple. Clinton's team may have begun to create an empathetic relationship with voters that has eluded her in the past, most crucially when she lost the nomination fight to Barack Obama in 2008. In marketing terms, rebranding is a strategy to bring a new name, term, symbol or design to an established brand with the aim of developing a new identity in the minds of consumers. Reframing is a strategy that goes further: it seeks to change how a consumer (or voter) emotionally experiences an established brand. A rebrand may change how you think about a brand; a reframe may change how you feel about it. In the Apple case, the company at one time fell on its face when it unveiled the original Macintosh; some thought the company was headed for oblivion. But when Steve Jobs returned as CEO, he went back to the drawing board and soon unveiled the iPod, which not only changed the way consumers thought about Apple, but how they experienced it. Not only a rebrand -- but a reframe. Take Hillary's road trip to Iowa in the van nicknamed Scooby. The press lampooned her, but I would bet that for many others, her unscripted and anonymous stop at Chipotle reinforced the \"everyday Americans\" campaign theme.

The demonstrators have called for the President to be impeached. On the other side Rousseff's base is holding rallies in her support. There are a number of issues at play. One of the biggest: an investigation into a multimillion-dollar kickback scheme at the state-run oil company Petrobras. Petrobras was long considered the corporate jewel in Brazil's crown, one of the biggest companies in the world by market capitalization. But last year, investigators launched a sweeping investigation. According to suspects-turned-witnesses, construction companies paid bribes to executives at Petrobras as well as politicians to secure lucrative contracts. Most of the politicians accused in the investigation belong to the President's Workers Party and its allies. During many of the years that the alleged corruption took place, Rousseff was the chairwoman of Petrobras. There hasn't been any evidence she was involved with the scheme, and her supporters say the position is merely a figurehead. Rousseff has defended Brazilians' right to protest and acknowledged the need to clean up corruption at Petrobras -- but denied any prior knowledge of it. But Brazilians are still outraged. Rousseff won re-election with just over 50% of valid votes in October, but her approval rating plummeted to 13% after the protests last month. Compounding the frustration is the economy, which is expected to contract this year. Inflation is stubbornly high, and the currency has lost more than 20% of its value against the dollar this year alone. Both sides are. The country was already sharply divided during presidential elections in October. Roughly half of the voting population didn't vote for Rousseff, and many of those same people joined protests immediately after elections. Rousseff's supporters like to characterize the protesters as Brazilian elite and right-wingers, and some small groups do carry signs calling for a military intervention to oust the President. But with the Petrobras scandal growing and the economy sinking, the protests have gotten bigger and broader, with many demonstrators saying they initially voted for Rousseff. Protesters say Rousseff should be impeached for failing to halt the corruption at Petrobras. On the other hand, labor unions, social activists and groups such as the Landless Workers Movement who support the government have organized their own marches. The demonstrations are meant as a show of force for democracy, with participants saying the President was democratically elected and cannot be impeached. But participation has not been consistently strong. The President has said Petrobras should be cleaned up. Has she done anything about it? She says she's given prosecutors and the Federal Police free rein to investigate the Petrobas scandal.

The performer, who was also an accomplished guitarist, was first diagnosed with cancer in 1990, the year he competed in the Eurovision Song Contest, and the year before he released the album that ignited his career. The cancer returned in 2005 and then again in 2014, Turkey's semiofficial Anadolu Agency reported. He died Friday in a hospital in Istanbul, five days after his 66th birthday. \"We are in grief over losing Kayahan, who contributed to Turkish music with countless compositions and marked a generation with his songs,\" Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu tweeted. The singer, whose full name was Kayahan Acar, was born in Izmir province, in western Turkey on March 29, 1949. He grew up in Ankara, Turkey's capital, before moving to Istanbul.

The two boats they had been in were barely seaworthy, the tug's Montenegrin captain told me. The discarded coats, he said, would be thrown away. We had flown to Sicily from Rome following news that as many as 400 migrants had been lost at sea. The tragedy adds to the mounting death toll among those fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East. So far this year as many as 900 have lost their lives. Last year at least 3,200 died making the journey. Since 2000, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), almost 22,000 people have died fleeing across the Mediterranean. Thousands may have died, but even more have succeeded in making the treacherous journey. This small group in Augusta were among nearly 10,000 migrants who have arrived on Italian shores since the weekend, according to the Italian Coast Guard. With the onset of spring and calmer seas, it appears that the flow of migrants is not relenting. The group, which included 31 women, was composed mostly of Nigerians and Gambians. As they filed off the boat, representatives of the Italian Red Cross did a quick visual inspection, checking for fever, scabies, any sign of illness. One woman, they discovered, was two months pregnant. Timothy, in his mid-20s from Nigeria, told me he left his home nine months ago. He paid human traffickers in Tripoli 1,000 Libyan dinars, more than $700, for the voyage. For him, it's a fortune.

+{"article": "(CNN)Here's a pop quiz: What's better for America's status in the world? A) Being a global leader in innovation, job creation, education, social mobility, literacy and child health. B) Being a global leader in imprisoning the highest number of human beings -- its own citizens. It's an obvious answer. But the unfortunate reality is that the United States leads the world in incarceration, not education. Our country has shown time and again a nearly unlimited capacity to reinvent itself and move closer to the ideals on which our society was founded. Yet we have emerged as the global leader in a race that no nation would want to even be a contender in. While our country is home to only 5% of the world's total population, we are home to 25% of the world's prison population. And nearly three fourths of this population is comprised of nonviolent offenders. At the same time, we are losing the increasingly important race to educate our citizens. Where the United States was once ranked first in high school graduation rates, we now rank 23rd in high school completion among 30 of the world's most developed nations. Where we were once the driving force of the global economy, we now rank fifth in the World Economic Forum's global competitiveness index. Key metrics in this index include the quality of a nation's primary, secondary and higher education systems. Instead of empowering the next generation of American artists, scientists, engineers, inventors and entrepreneurs, our country has chosen to devote a massive amount of resources, time and energy to locking people up. By imprisoning individuals, we also burden families, condemn generations to cycles of poverty and breed economic inequality. In the 1980s and 1990s, Congress chose to adopt laws that drastically changed the way our country handled nonviolent drug crimes. Since then, the American prison population has increased by nearly 800% over the past 30 years. Over 2.7 million American children have a parent who is incarcerated, and 10 million American children at one time in their lives had a parent in prison. Americans of color are disproportionately burdened by the failures of our justice system. There are more black men in prison or under state or federal supervision today than there were enslaved in 1850. And while African Americans make up only 13.6% of the total U.S. population, they make up a whopping 40.2% of the U.S. prison population. The sad reality is that in today's America, prisoners are never truly free from the burdens of our criminal justice system. A report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research concluded that once released from prison, an ex-offender's prospects for obtaining employment statistically decreased. The report estimated that, in 2008, ex-offender employment losses cost our economy the equivalent of 1.5 to 1.7 million workers, or $57 billion to $65 billion annually. It's therefore no surprise that American prisons have become revolving doors, with two out of every three former offenders rearrested within three years of their release.

President Barack Obama endorsed the deal, saying it was better than the alternatives. But GOP contenders for the party's 2016 presidential nomination lambasted it, saying it gave Iran too much flexibility. On Sunday, the sparring continued. One Senate Democrat said Netanyahu needs to \"contain himself.\" And a top Republican said almost any of Obama's successors as president \"could do better.\" Netanyahu's most recent argument against the Iran nuclear deal was similar to the one he'd made in a March trip to Washington, when he addressed a joint session of Congress -- fueling a Republican push to have the deal sent to Congress before it's implemented. \"It does not roll back Iran's nuclear program. It keeps a vast nuclear infrastructure in place. Not a single centrifuge is destroyed. Not a single nuclear facility is shut down, including the underground facilities that they built illicitly. Thousands of centrifuges will keep spinning, enriching uranium,\" Netanyahu said Sunday. \"That's a very bad deal. \" Netanyahu said Iran is a country of \"congenital cheating\" and that it can't be trusted to abide by the terms of the deal, which lasts 10 years with some provisions extending well beyond that. He said his opposition has little to do with his frosty relationship with Obama. \"I think that we can have a legitimate difference of opinion on this, because I think Iran has shown to be completely distrustful,\" Netanyahu said. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, meanwhile, said she wishes Netanyahu \"would contain himself.\" The top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said negotiators working on the deal -- from Iran and the United States, as well as Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany -- are \"on the cusp of something that can be workable.\" \"It's a framework. It has to be wrapped into a final agreement. There still can be some changes,\" Feinstein said. \"But I don't think it's helpful for Israel to come out and oppose this one opportunity to change a major dynamic -- which is downhill, a downhill dynamic in this part of the world.\" Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz defended the deal in an appearance on CBS' \"Face the Nation\" on Sunday, saying it would extend from two months to one year the \"breakout\" time period -- the length of time it would take Iran to build a nuclear bomb. He said it also allows for the \"almost instantaneous recognition of any attempt to evade the deal.\" \"We have blocked all of these pathways", "summary": "Netanyahu says third option is \"standing firm\" to get a better deal .

+{"article": "(CNN)Saudi Arabia has executed a second Indonesian maid despite protests from Jakarta, which is itself facing fierce criticism for its failure to heed calls for clemency for a number of foreigners on death row. The Indonesian government summoned the Saudi ambassador to the foreign ministry on Thursday after learning that 37-year-old Karni Bt. Medi Tarsim had been beheaded, without official warning. Karni was sentenced to death in March 2013 for killing her employer's four-year-old child. She was the second Indonesian domestic worker executed by the Saudis this week, following the death of Siti Zaenab Bt. Duhri Rupa on Tuesday -- the execution again carried out with Indonesian officials receiving no prior warning. \"That is our main issue. It's not that suddenly there was an execution. We didn't know when it would take place. Still, we took over a hundred steps to try to free (Siti) from execution,\" said Arrmanatha Nasir, spokesman for Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Siti, 47, was convicted of killing her employer's wife in 1999, but the death penalty was delayed until the youngest of the victim's sons reached puberty and was old enough to consider requesting her pardon. He didn't. Rights groups say they suspect Siti was mentally ill and cast aspersions on claims she had confessed to the crime. Amnesty International also said reports suggested she had been abused while working in the victim's home. \"Imposing the death penalty and executing someone with a suspected mental illness smacks of a basic lack of humanity,\" said Philip Luther, Middle East and North Africa Programme Director at Amnesty International. In a statement, the Indonesian government said the protection of its citizens abroad was a \"priority\" and listed the attempts it had made to help Siti, including providing legal aid, writing letters to the Saudi King and \"continuous efforts... to ask for forgiveness from the family.\" Indonesia said in many cases its efforts had worked. From July 2011 to the end of March this year, it said it had \"successfully freed\" 238 of its citizens from the death penalty. One of those was Satinah Binti Jumadi Ahmad who was sentenced to death in 2011 after reportedly admitting to killing her 70-year-old employer and stealing $10,000. Satinah claimed she acted in self-dense. Days before her scheduled execution, the Indonesian government stepped in with so-called \"blood money\" of 7 million Saudi riyals -- at the time worth about $1.8 million. Satinah was spared. Indonesia's efforts to save its own citizens does not sit well with advocates who are seeking the same mercy for foreigners languishing on Indonesia's death row. Two of the most high profile cases are Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, Australians convicted of attempting to smuggle heroin from Bali to Australia in 2005. Friday marks the 10-year anniversary of their arrest with seven other people -- members of the so-called \"Bali Nine\" -- who are currently serving lengthy sentences in Indonesian prisons.

+{"article": "(CNN)Italians have a saying: \"Too much of something cripples it.\" We're overcrowded with so many frescoed churches, medieval castles and Roman ruins that we simply don't know what to do with them, let alone care for a proper upkeep. We've turned blind to their value and beauty. There are nearly 5,000 \"gems\" scattered across the country, ranging from museums to archaeological areas and monuments. Italy boasts the highest number of UNESCO World Heritage sites in the world -- 50, several of which risk crumbling to the ground due to neglect and lack of public resources. And there are another 42,000 that are at the mercy of mudslides, floods and natural calamities. The UNESCO-listed Basilica of Assisi, where St. Frances' tomb lies, is just the last of a series of national shames. Its frescoed walls by Renaissance masters including Giotto risk falling down and are badly in need of a restyle. In a desperate move the monks have launched a crowdfunding project to raise 500,000 euros. We're talking of one of the biggest pilgrimage sites in the world -- not to mention its artistic value. I remember once an American colleague asking me: \"But what does Italy do with its immense cultural heritage\"? Good question. If other nations had half as much of what we boast, they'd make a much better job with it. Paradoxically, if we had just the Coliseum or Venice it would be easier. But we don't and trouble is Italy doesn't know how to exploit this treasure. Take the British Museum's successful exhibition on Pompeii in 2013: we have the real site in our backyard but the British made the best of it worldwide while the real Pompeii was -- and still is -- making global headlines just because of its frequent collapses. Or, worse, Italy couldn't care less to promote its assets. As a travel writer I have the misfortune of dealing with tourist offices almost on a daily basis and it's a battle: many are reluctant to give information and have no good photos of places. I find myself almost begging them, when it should be the other way round. The true but sad thing is that restyling in Italy is mainly thanks to private funds and sponsors. Crowdfunding has already saved Bologna's San Luca Portico. The Coliseum is getting a makeover thanks to shoe brand Todd's, while a few visionary businessmen are rescuing crumbling villages by turning them into luxury resorts. Yet it's not just a matter of scarce public resources or austerity-driven measures. It's also about not having a sense of artistic and cultural attachment, the care to cherish a country's valuable monuments. And that's because Italians have always lacked a sense of national belonging: Italy, despite its millenary history, is one of the world's most modern states, unified in 1861. Patriot Massimo D'Azeglio once said: \"Now that we've made Italy, we need to make Italians.\" Tough job indeed, and we're still a long way to go. There's also wide-spread approach that tends to limit restyling in general.

+{"article": "(CNN)The world's seventh-largest economy is heading toward collapse. An economic powerhouse conservatively valued at $24 trillion, one that annually churns out the equivalent of $2.5 trillion, is under assault. However, I am not referring to one of the G8 economies, but to the \"super economy\" of the ocean. It's one that for far too long has been ignored and taken for granted -- and it is going downhill fast. The health and wealth of the ocean are assessed in a WWF report released Thursday, Reviving the Ocean Economy. The report is the result of a hard economic analysis performed by The Boston Consulting Group built on a foundation of the latest ocean science provided by the Global Change Institute of the University of Queensland. True, the enormity of the ocean can complicate any single appraisal. But it is still important to try to understand its value if global leaders are ever going to sustain it for future generations. The fact is that the ocean feeds us, employs us, offers protection and plays a direct role in the lives and livelihoods of people throughout the world. The ocean also provides intangible but essential services to humanity, such as climate regulation and oxygen production, that are difficult to put in monetary terms. And while we all may look at the ocean from different perspectives, no one can escape the fact that it is a shared resource that provides for each and every one of us. A figure that may get lost in the headlines generated by our report is perhaps most telling: Seventy percent of the ocean's overall economic value relies on its continued health. Ocean assets like fisheries, coral reefs, mangroves and seagrasses that produce goods and services rivaling the world's top 10 economies will lose their value if we continue to over-exploit and outright destroy them. That may seem like a far-off possibility to some, but it is a future foretold by the many details in this report. For example, 90 percent of the world's fish stocks are either fully exploited or over-exploited. And that is not all. By 2050 -- only a few decades from now -- it is possible that the ocean could lose its coral reefs, which have already been halved in the last few decades. This isn't just a concern for dive enthusiasts, but to the hundreds of millions of people that rely on ocean resources for their daily meals and their weekly paychecks. The ocean is truly too big to fail. The loss of the ocean's critical habitats and species would have a devastating ripple effect on global food security and economies that no government bailout could salvage. Fortunately, our report identifies actions that would revive the ocean economy, three of which are critical this year. First, the international community must rally around a set of sustainable development goals that clearly reflect the link between the environment -- including the ocean -- and human well-being. Also, negotiators meeting in Paris later this year must agree on an ambitious global climate deal that sets us on the path", "summary": "Ocean economic powerhouse valued at $24 trillion: WWF report .

+{"article": "(CNN)Iran's President on Friday hailed the proposed international deal on his country's nuclear program, vowing that Iran will stick to its promises and -- assuming other countries live up to their end of the bargain -- become a more active, engaged player in world affairs. \"Some think that we should either fight ... or we should surrender to other powers,\" President Hassan Rouhani said. \"However, we believe none of that. There is a third path. We can cooperate with the world.\" Rouhani said his government kept its word to Iranians when negotiating the framework deal, which was agreed upon Thursday and sets parameters for talks that could lead to a comprehensive deal by a June 30 deadline. Chief among them is that Iran would keep at least some centrifuges and no longer face international sanctions. He thanked Iranians for their patience and for \"resisting\" by standing up for the country's rights. As to the rest of the world, the Iranian President said he thinks most now realize that Iran \"is pursuing peaceful objectives.\" That means trying to develop nuclear energy, not nuclear weapons, as many feared. That fear, combined with distrust of Iran's leaders, spurred the sanctions and the Middle Eastern nation's isolation. \"We do not lie,\" Rouhani said, vowing that Iran will be true to its word, \"provided the other parties will implement their own promises.\" What Iranians think of the deal . Those promises include reducing Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98% for 15 years and significantly scaling back its number of installed centrifuges. Still, while it will be shrunken and centralized, Iran's nuclear program won't go away. What should happen -- assuming there's a common view that Tehran is doing as required -- is that countries will end their sanctions. That was non-negotiable for Iran, with Rouhani saying the deal shows his government's commitment to removing a major \"obstacle ... for business\" by addressing the world's worries about its nuclear program. \"We need economic productivity, employment for the youth and development of non-oil products,\" he said. \"Thus our people can witness better things for their welfare.\" It won't be easy, of course, to get Iran and the P5+1 -- the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany -- on the same page regarding the nitty-gritty details of any final agreement, if there is one.

He converted to Islam in 1995 and left the United States for Pakistan three years later. His father said Gadahn last contacted the family in 2002. A former al Qaeda member who later grew disillusioned with the group told CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank that he was tasked with greeting Gadahn at Peshawar airport in September 1998.

But Gadahn told him he'd been longing for some Afghan food, so they went to an Afghan restaurant instead before setting out on the road. The former operative said that after Gadahn joined al Qaeda, he was known as Abu Suhayb. In the years after 9/11, Gadahn rose through the ranks in the tribal areas of Pakistan, becoming its chief official English-language propagandist. He emerged in the mid-2000s on al Qaeda videos, including ones threatening attacks on Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia. At first he was disguised. Sometimes he spoke in English, but in other videos he spoke in Arabic. He urged Muslims to target American, Western and Jewish interests with hopes of toppling the regime in Pakistan, according to SITE, a group that monitors terrorists and terror activity online. A federal grand jury in California indicted Gadahn in 2006 for treason and material support to al Qaeda, charges related to his alleged involvement in terrorist activities that included \"providing aid and comfort\" and other services to al Qaeda, the FBI said. He was among the FBI's \"Most Wanted Terrorists.\" In 2007, he appeared on another al Qaeda video in which he warned America to end its involvement in the affairs of predominantly Muslim countries. \"Your failure to", "summary": "In his final known video, Adam Gadahn called for governments of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia to be overthrown .

Along with their parents, the girls relocated to Canada as refugees where during their teens they discovered a passion for music. Heading south to LA by way of Atlanta, the singing sisters with a bold flair for fashion are now embarking on a musical journey, gearing up to unleash their Afro-pop sound to the world. CNN's African Voices caught up with the sister act -- known collectively as Faarrow (combining the translation of their names into English -- Iman means \"Faith\" and Siham means \"Arrow\") to talk about music, aspirations and Somalia. CNN: Hi guys, thanks for chatting with me today. What are some of your musical influences? Iman: We love Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie -- stuff my mom would listen to and play -- and the Spice Girls. We used to die for the Spice Girls. I love new artists now but I don't know if it's a nostalgia, but I remember ... my mom used to pump whatever -- Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston.

+{"article": "(CNN)A Delaware father is in stable condition and improving as his two boys remain in critical condition after they became sick -- perhaps from pesticide exposure, federal officials say -- during a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Steve Esmond, his teenage sons and the teens' mother fell ill more than two weeks ago in St. John, where they were renting a villa at the Sirenusa resort. The family has confidence in their medical professionals and is hopeful for a full recovery, according to a statement released Monday from the family's attorney, James Maron. The teens' mother, Theresa Devine, was treated at a hospital and released, and is in occupational therapy, Maron said. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Friday that the presence of a pesticide at the rented villa in St. John may have caused the illnesses, which were reported to the EPA on March 20. Paramedics were called to the villa, which the family was renting. Esmond was found unconscious; the boys and their mother were having seizures, Maron said. The lawyer did not say who called the paramedics. Elias Rodriguez, an EPA spokesman, said the agency's preliminary test results \"do show that there was a presence of methyl bromide in the unit where the family was staying.\" Exposure to methyl bromide can result in serious health effects, including central nervous system and respiratory system damage, according to the EPA. The use of the pesticide is restricted in the United States because of its acute toxicity. It's not allowed to be used indoors. Only certified professionals are permitted to use it in certain agricultural settings. For example, the pesticide is injected into the soil of some U.S. strawberry fields, said Judith Enck, an EPA regional administrator. \"We trust that the strawberry producers are making sure that there's not excess pesticide residue on strawberries,\" Enck said. \"You definitely want to wash them really good. \"This is a pesticide that's been around for a long time, and ironically because of its impact and damage to the ozone layer, it's being phased out because of the air impacts of this fumigant,\" Enck added. Field workers at a Connecticut nursery were poisoned by the chemical in 1990, according to the Journal of Industrial Medicine. In 2011, warehouse workers in California fell ill after exposed to grapes imported from Chile fumigated with methyl bromide, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, said many parts of the world banned the chemical, a neurotoxin. The agent is to be used only outdoors. The chemical is also odorless and colorless, Gupta said. \"It's not something that you would have any warning of,\" Gupta said. The chemical is often mixed with tear gas so people can be aware of its presence, he added. The EPA said it is working with local government agencies to investigate whether the family was made ill after a fumigation at the resort on March 18 and whether any environmental regulations or laws were violated.

+{"article": "(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.

+{"article": "(CNN)Sunday's announcement that Corinthian Colleges Inc. would shut down all of its remaining 28 campuses is a positive development in a long struggle to hold for-profit colleges accountable. Corinthian, which once enrolled more than 70,000 students, is one of the worst of the \"predator colleges\" -- schools that offer dubious degrees, saddle students with high amounts of debt and gobble up tens of billions of dollars in federal money every year. Many of these schools are for-profit career colleges that operate mostly online. It's no wonder that Corinthian is doing this after the U.S. Department of Education curtailed its access to federal student aid last summer. There are about 1.3 million students enrolled in for-profit colleges, many of which have questionable track records, and their students need help transitioning into legitimate postsecondary schools. With Uncle Sam's student loan debt sheet topping $1 trillion, we literally can't afford to continue funding for-profit colleges -- which reportedly get 86% of their funding from federal student loan money. For those not familiar with the for-profit college fiasco, here's the whole story in one telling statistic: While for-profit colleges enroll only 13% of the nation's college students, such colleges account for nearly half of all student loan defaults, according to Department of Education statistics. For comparison's sake, the default rate of for-profit college students is worse than the default rate of the worst subprime borrowers during the financial crisis. How do these colleges operate? It's deviously simple: Convince low-income students into borrowing tens of thousands of dollars through easy federal student loans, keep costs low through online classes and part-time professors, and watch the money roll in. The aggressive tactics of these colleges boggle the mind. Recruiters are told to make 100 phone calls and leave 100 messages a day, according to a ProPublica investigation. I can personally attest to the aggressive tactics. My phone number was accidentally placed on a call list for a for-profit college recently, and I received so many calls per day that I had to ask my wireless carrier to block the phone number. Stopping the exploitation of students isn't easy. The for-profit college business is a multibillion-dollar industry. The CEOs of these companies make millions of dollars a year, employ an army of lobbyists and donate money to both political parties. But the past two months brought a new twist to the crisis. Hundreds of graduates of the now-defunct Corinthian joined a \"debt strike,\" publicly declaring their refusal to pay back their loans. In response, Education Department Secretary Arne Duncan signaled a willingness to forgive loans of Corinthian graduates who have crushing debt and no job prospects. Now that Corinthian is finally shutting down, we must finish the job. The remaining for-profit colleges should be closed. Any student not gainfully employed or transferred to a reputable college within three years should be considered a victim, and their debts should be forgiven. Yes, \"victim\" is the right word. If these degrees actually helped people get jobs, we should be celebrating them.

It is not just the low cost of posting online that attracts dissidence, though that in itself is liberating. It is the lack of access to traditional print and broadcast media in authoritarian countries that is really the driving force leading disaffected voices to post online. It is not unique to Asia, but it might seem more pronounced if you live there. Going online has become the path of least resistance if you want to make yourself heard. But it still brings resistance, some of it legal, some of it deadly. Let's look at the legal angle first. Amos Yee, the teenage video blogger who was arrested and held pending bail Sunday in Singapore, drew international attention for his anti-Lee Kuan Yew harangue. But jailing critics is not usually the government's first choice in Singapore. It is part of Lee Kuan Yew's legacy that the government's use of the courts to bring libel and defamation cases, usually carrying heavy financial penalties, is the preferred method of silencing discomfiting online voices. His father has reportedly apologized for his son's behavior, but the younger Yee could face up to three years in jail. Yee is not unique. Another dissident blogger in Singapore, Roy Ngerng, continues to suffer financial and legal pressure, including the loss of his job, because of a blog post that allegedly accused the city-state's Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, of corruption. Ngerng's concern is with the lack of transparency in the management of the Central Provident Fund, the government's compulsory pension program. Yee and Ngerng are two of many. The Committee To Protect Journalists' file on Singapore going back to 2000 has a long string of similar cases, some against politicians, others against citizens simply frustrated with their government. But it is not just Singapore where Internet activity comes under fire: On Monday in Malaysia, with much less of the international attention heaped on Amos Yee, five editors and executives from The Malaysian Insider were arrested over the site's March 25 report claiming that a senior council of royal rulers and state governors, known as the Conference of Rulers, had rejected a proposal to amend federal law to allow for the introduction of hudud, or punishments meted out under Islamic law.

The six protesters used ropes and harnesses Monday to scale the huge platform in the Pacific Ocean, tweeting images of their daunting climb as they went. \"We made it! We're on Shell's platform. And we're not alone,\" wrote Aliyah Field, an American activist taking part in the protest. \"Everyone can help turn this into a platform for people power!\" The rig, the Polar Pioneer, is on its way to the Arctic via Seattle. The environmental activists caught up with it about 750 miles northwest of Hawaii, Greenpeace said. They plan to occupy the underside of the rig's main deck and say they have enough supplies to stay there for several days. Shell didn't immediately respond to CNN's request for comment late Monday. But company spokeswoman Kelly Op De Weegh told Agence France-Presse that the boarding was illegal and jeopardized the safety of the activists and the crew. Greenpeace is furious over a decision last week by U.S. authorities to lift the suspensions on leases to drill for oil and gas in the Chukchi Sea, which lies between northern Alaska and Russia. Shell and several other oil companies bought exploration leases for the sea in 2008. The U.S. government's decision \"means that in 100 days, Shell could begin drilling in the Alaskan Arctic,\" Greenpeace said. Federal agencies still have to review and approve companies' plans before exploratory drilling can start. Shell's work in the Arctic has suffered some setbacks in the past, including a drilling barge that ran aground off southern Alaska on December 31, 2012. Greenpeace has repeatedly used the occupation of drilling-related vessels to bring attention to its cause. One group of its activists was detained for months by Russian authorities in 2013. In the current episode, the activists pursued the Polar Pioneer, which Shell is leasing from Transocean, as it traveled thousands of miles aboard a transport vessel from Malaysia, Greenpeace said.

He photographed a handful of aerial shots of the sunset warming the city's skyline and shared them on CNN iReport.

The fires were started in southeastern Siberia, by farmers burning grass in their fields. But on April 14, it is believed that the flames quickly grew out of control because of strong winds and spread throughout the region, according to CNN affiliate KOMO-TV. As a result, the fires have destroyed dozens of villages in the region. Rescue crews were able to put out the flames. However, the lingering smoke from the widespread fires were picked up by atmospheric winds. The winds carried the smoke from Siberia across the Pacific Ocean and brought it to the Pacific Northwest. Parts of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia are seeing the results of the smoke, wind and solar light combination. The reason people are seeing an intense red sunset is a result of smoke particles filtering out the shorter wavelength colors from the sunlight like greens, blues, yellows and purples, KOMO-TV said. That means colors like red and orange are able to penetrate the air unfiltered. The colors are especially intense during sunrises and sunsets because there is more atmosphere for the light to travel through to get to a person's eye.

Ahlam and her family chose to herd goats. They were then taken to a Shia village whose residents had fled, where they were part of a group of around 40 living in one house.

Set up as a refugee camp for Palestinians in the 1950s, it slowly evolved into a neighborhood over the years, but since 2012 it has been engulfed in the Syrian conflict. Two weeks ago ISIS fighters stormed Yarmouk, and that made life for those still inside even worse than it was before. The Syrian government responded by unleashing a bombing and shelling campaign on the area, residents told CNN, including barrel bombs that flattened many of the buildings already scarred by the three-year-long conflict. Death comes day and night. \"I looked up and saw dust,\" one resident said. \"I opened the door and started walking outside and started shouting to the neighbors. One told me 'I am wounded,' another one didn't answer me at all.

Most of those fighting on all sides are Palestinians. Pro-government factions besiege the area from the outside, cutting off supplies and aid most of the time. The inside is held by anti-regime groups, some of which are Islamists. The situation in Yarmouk was thrust in to the headlines on April 1 when ISIS fighters stormed the rebel-held area and unleashed a campaign of violence and killings. Since then, a local activist tells CNN, ISIS has withdrawn to another area and left the al Qaedalinked group Jabhat al-Nusra in charge of the district.

+{"article": "(CNN)Are we alone in the cosmos? Or might there be intelligent life elsewhere? Last week, NASA scientists discussed in very concrete terms the steps to discovering life elsewhere in the universe over the next decade or two. This year is the 20th anniversary of the discovery of a planet around a star like our own sun, 51 Pegasi. Since then, ground-based surveys and NASA's Kepler satellite have discovered nearly 2,000 confirmed \"exoplanets,\" and thousands more candidates await confirmation. Many of these planetary systems are quite unlike our own solar system. Some have large planets like Jupiter that orbit their stars far closer than Mercury, the innermost planet in our solar system. But smaller rocky planets like Earth, though harder to find, appear to be even more abundant. Life on Earth developed in its oceans about a billion years after the planet formed. That suggests that rocky planets with liquid water on their surfaces might also have developed primitive forms of life. Life as we know it is carbon-based and requires liquid water. Astronomers define the \"habitable zone\" around a star as the region within which liquid water can exist on a planet's surface. Any closer to the star, the water will boil into vapor; any farther and the water freezes into ice. Extrapolating from discoveries to date, astronomers estimate there are perhaps 40 billion Earth-like, habitable-zone planets in our Milky Way galaxy alone. Of course, there is a difference between single-celled organisms -- which developed 3.8 billion years ago and remained the most sophisticated form of life for another billion years or so -- and mammals, which appeared about 200 million years ago. And then the humans, who have existed for only 200,000 years. Intelligent life that can communicate via radio waves with other intelligent life is less than 100 years old here on Earth. So while planets that develop simple forms of life may be a dime a dozen, the number that have sentient beings with whom to converse -- even assuming they evolved as humans did, with ears and spoken language, or eyes and written language -- is likely to be tiny. And life that can use radio waves has existed on Earth for only 0.000002% of the planet's history -- 100 years out of 4.5 billion. If the half dozen or so rocky, Earth-like exoplanets now known are similar, the odds of discovering humanlike life on them are about the same as, well, winning your state lottery with one ticket. Of course, if there are 40 billion Earth-like planets out there, the odds improve quite a bit. If they all have histories like the Earth's, there might be 1,000 planets in the Milky Way that could support communicative beings. But before you start composing your first letter to an alien, think about this: The chance that those beings evolved on exactly the same time scale is minuscule.

+{"article": "(CNN)When Les Moonves sits down at a restaurant in Hollywood, it's usually the waiter's lucky night. As the president and CEO of CBS Corp., which includes Showtime, Moonves runs a powerful television network in a town where nearly every waiter also wants to be an actor. But when he walked into Craig's in West Hollywood last year, those roles were reversed. This time, Moonves' waiter, Gabriel Salvador, was the one serving up a mouthwatering opportunity that had nothing to do with the shrimp diavolo. Instead, he was offering Moonves an \"in\" to the most coveted match-up in boxing: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao. \"Moonves' love of boxing, our love of boxing -- that gave me the confidence to say to him 'Give me a chance,'\" said Salvador, an actor who has appeared in \"Bones\" and \"Blue Bloods.\" \"I said 'I can help you make this fight happen,' and he looked at me like, 'Okay, I'm listening.'\" That's when Salvador told Moonves his son trained at the Hollywood gym owned by Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's trainer, and that he would put in a good word for Moonves. At that point, Salvador told CNN, he was driven more by his passion to see the fight happen than any real connection to Roach. But he got Roach's phone number from his son, Elijah, who was skeptical of his father's plan. Everybody had already tried, his son said. But Salvador made the call and gained an audience in Roach. \"I said, 'Listen, I can help you make this fight happen,'\" Salvador said in an interview with CNN. Salvador helped set up a meeting between Moonves, Roach and himself at Scarpetta in Beverly Hills that he says began with a discussion about the legacy of boxing. \"Mr. Moonves said to me, 'If this fight happens, you're going to be sitting there,'\" said Salvador. Salvador's role ended after that dinner. What followed was a series of meetings between Moonves and both sides that eventually ended the stalemate keeping Pacquiao and Mayweather from entering the same ring. The May 2 fight -- on the pay-per-view services of Showtime and HBO -- is expected to gross as much as $600 million. With that kind of money, and a smattering of media buzz around Salvador's story, inevitable questions circulated over what, if any, reward he should get, given the epic nature of the fight. When asked to comment, Pacquiao's team downplayed Salvador's role. \"For him giving Les my phone number I don't think he deserves a finder's fee,\" Roach told CNN. Promoter Bob Arum said Salvador \"got his 10 minutes of fame,\" though he called Salvador \"a really nice guy.\" Salvador insists he is not seeking money, and a CBS spokesman confirmed his role in the initial meeting. \"My reward will be sitting at the fight,\" Salvador said. Moonves made good on that promise -- Salvador will be ringside on Saturday night. \"It's about taking a chance,\" Salvador said. \"It's about putting people in touch with each other and being able to sit back and say, 'Wow, I planted that seed.'\"", "summary": "Gabriel Salvador set up an initial meeting between a TV exec and Manny Pacquiao's trainer .

The photographer, Daniel Ramos, had filed the civil suit against West after the hip-hop star attacked him and tried to wrestle his camera from him in July 2013 at Los Angeles International Airport. West pleaded no contest last year to a misdemeanor count of battery over the scuffle. A judge sentenced him to two years' probation, as well as anger management sessions and community service. Ramos and his lawyer, Gloria Allred, sought general and punitive damages in the civil suit, saying that West had interfered with the photographer's rights to pursue a lawful occupation. The case had been set for trial next week, but Allred issued a statement Tuesday night saying Ramos' side had filed a dismissal \"because the case was settled to the satisfaction of the parties.\" She didn't disclose the details of the settlement other than saying that \"one important aspect of it was an apology by Kanye West to our client, Daniel Ramos.\" Her statement included a picture of West and Ramos shaking hands, which she said happened after the apology. The original incident was caught on video, including the following exchange. \"Kanye! Kanye! Talk to me, Kanye!\" Ramos shouts outside a terminal at the Los Angeles airport on the night of July 19, 2013. \"What's' going on? Why can't we talk to you?

West retreats after about 15 seconds of scuffling with the photographer. \"We believe that this case sent an important message,\" Allred said. \"Celebrities are not above the law, and they have no right to physically attack someone simply because they were asked a question.\" Beverly Hills Police investigated an incident in January 2014 in which West was accused of assaulting a man at a Beverly Hills chiropractor's office.

+{"article": "(CNN)President Barack Obama tied himself to the mast of a nuclear deal with Iran even before he became the Democratic candidate for president. Reaching a good, solid agreement with Iran is a worthy, desirable goal. But the process has unfolded under the destructive influence of political considerations, weakening America's hand and strengthening Iran. Obama's political standing and his historic legacy in foreign policy are so deeply intertwined with reaching an accord with Iran that if the deal ultimately collapses, he may fear that historians will conclude that his legacy in global affairs collapsed with it. There is a reason one gets the feeling that it is the United States and not Iran that is the more eager, even desperate, side in these talks, even though Iran is the country whose economy was sent into a deep chill by international sanctions; the country whose only significant export, oil, lost more than half of its value in recent months. The reason is that Obama has a huge political stake in these negotiations. The President may insist that the United States will choose no deal over a bad deal, but few people truly believe he has a credible Plan B. Few believe it, particularly in the Middle East and notably among America's Arab friends, who hold the view that Iran is running circles around the United States and outplayed Obama. As the writer David Rothkopf aptly put it, \"Iran is having a great Obama administration.\" That's a belief that has already started shaking up the region. Saudi Arabia has said that it will pursue nuclear weapons if it believes Iran has not been stopped, and there is little doubt that other countries among Iran's Muslim rivals will do the same. In fact, the notion that Obama is not handling the Iranian threat effectively is contributing to a new war in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia and other Arabs are trying to push back against gains by Iran's allies. We can trace it all back to the Democratic primaries in 2007, when then-Sen. Obama said he would meet Iran's leaders \"without preconditions,\" leading his rival, Hillary Clinton, to call the idea \"Irresponsible and frankly naive.\" As the years of his presidency unfolded, and the Middle East started coming apart, finding a deal with Iran started to look like the one major foreign policy achievement Obama might leave behind. The political imperative started to intrude in strategic considerations on an issue that is of transcendent importance to world peace. The framework agreement announced on Thursday came two days after Obama's March 31 deadline. The U.S.-imposed deadline served only to pressure the United States, and the French ambassador very publicly decried as a \"bad tactic.\" That bad tactic was a political move, a push to produce some sort of result, however vague, to protect the talks from critics. Again, a solid agreement that ensures Iran will not produce nuclear weapons would be a most welcome development. But the agreement so far does not look promising. It certainly shows the final outcome will differ greatly from what Obama had vowed.", "summary": "Frida Ghitis: President Barack Obama is right to want a deal, but this one gives Iran too much .

A federal jury convicted the four in October after a lengthy trial that saw some 30 witnesses travel from Iraq to testify against the security contractors. Prosecutors accused the men of illegally unleashed \"powerful sniper fire, machine guns and grenade launchers on innocent men, women and children.\" Senior U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced Blackwater sniper Nicholas Slatten to a term of life in prison, mandatory for his first-degree murder conviction. Blackwater workers Paul Slough, Evan Liberty and Dustin Heard were sentenced to 30 year each, plus one day. Slough was convicted of 13 counts of voluntary manslaughter, 17 counts of attempted manslaughter and a firearms offense. The jury convicted Liberty of eight counts of voluntary manslaughter, 12 counts of attempted manslaughter and a firearms offense. Heard was found guilty of six counts of voluntary manslaughter, 11 counts of attempted manslaughter and a firearms offense. According to prosecutors, the four were among seven Blackwater employees who opened fire in the Nusoor Square traffic circle in Baghdad, killing 17 people. An FBI investigation found 14 of the deaths unjustified, according to rules of engagement for private security contractors in Iraq. Slatten was accused of firing the first shots. Survivors of shooting tell FBI their stories in 2007 . Blackwater said its convoy came under attack, and defense attorneys said in court that witness accounts were fabricated. But witnesses testified that the contractors opened fire without provocation. \"It was horror,\" said Hasan Jaber, an attorney who was driving to work when he was shot three times. \"People running out of their cars were being shot at. ... Anything that moved in Nusoor Square was shot. Women, children, young people, they shot everyone.\" Among the dead were two boys, 9 and 11, a doctor, a used car salesman, a truck driver, a businessman, an Iraqi soldier, a gardener, a taxi driver and an aspiring doctor taking his mother to an appointment, according to prosecutors. The parents and brothers of the 9-year-old victim were present in court during the sentencing hearing and spoke.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's a good thing -- a lucky thing -- that a bystander had the courage and presence of mind to record the shocking video that shows a white police officer, Michael Slager, gunning down and killing an apparently unarmed black man named Walter Scott after a traffic stop in North Charleston, South Carolina. And the resulting national wave of revulsion and indignation -- along with the prompt arrest of Slager on murder charges -- is a welcome and appropriate response. But the event raises broad, troubling questions about how often such incidents take place without the benefit of a third-party recording. It's not supposed to be a mystery: More than 20 years ago, Congress approved a law, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, signed by President Bill Clinton, that requires the federal Justice Department to collect data on deaths caused by police. The law has never truly been implemented, leaving us with patchy information about particular episodes rather than a comprehensive sense of how race and policing play out in America. \"What happened here today doesn't happen all the time. What if there was no video? What if there was no witness -- or hero, as I call him -- to come forward?\" said L. Chris Stewart, an attorney for Scott's family. \"As you can see, the initial (police) reports stated something totally different.\" That's putting it mildly. In early police statements -- issued before the video came to light -- Slager reportedly said that Scott attacked him, that he fired only after a scuffle and that cops made medical efforts to revive Scott. The video makes hash of those claims, and likely contributed to Slager's swift arrest and pending murder charges. \"When you're wrong, you're wrong,\" said North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey. That leaves Slager to face murder charges that could land him on death row -- and the rest of us to face a disturbing reality. I'm all for having police use body cameras, although they are not a magic cure for preventing or stopping the excessive use of force. But the much bigger problem is that we simply don't know when and where police killings take place, or whether they cluster in particular cities or states. And that means we don't know for certain whether unjustified or excessive force correlates with particular forms of officer training or detectable underlying racial bias. We don't even know the role played by officers operating under stressful conditions or while dealing with mental or physical illness. These vital questions aren't supposed to be a mystery. According to Section 210402 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, \"The Attorney General shall, through appropriate means, acquire data about the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers. ... The Attorney General shall publish an annual summary of the data acquired under this section.\" That section of the law has effectively been ignored, beyond a first attempt at a comprehensive report published in 1996.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's not easy being the Pope. Not only does he shepherd nearly 1 billion Catholic souls, he also leads a small but morally significant state with envoys and interests in nearly every country. As scholars like to say, the Vatican has walked the line between spiritual and worldly concerns for centuries. Sometimes, as when St. John Paul II stood up to Communist Poland, the church's moral and political clout have combined to pack a powerful punch. At other times, popes have to make a hard choice: Adopt the sharp tongue of a prophet or the discretion of a diplomat? This Sunday in Rome, Pope Francis faced just such a dilemma. First, the back story: . One hundred years ago, more than 1 million Armenians (some estimates run as high as 1.5 million) died at the hand of the Turks. Many of the victims were part of a branch of Christianity closely aligned with Catholicism. A slew of historians and at least 20 countries call the killings a \"genocide.\" (A U.S. resolution to do the same has languished in Congress.) Turkish officials disagree, arguing that the deaths, while unfortunate, were part of a long-running war that witnessed casualties on all sides. For their part, previous popes had finessed the genocide question. John Paul II used the \"g\" word in 2001, but didn't dare speak it out loud. Instead, it was tucked into a document signed by the former pontiff and the head of the Armenian church, after they had celebrated Mass together. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI called the killings \"a great evil\" and \"terrible persecution\" in a speech 2006, but avoided labeling them genocide. (Benedict found other ways to tick off the Turks, initially opposing their entry into the European Union.) As Pope Francis prepared to celebrate a special Mass Sunday to commemorate a century since the slaughter, Vatican watchers were divided about whether he would use the word \"genocide.\" He did, but in a roundabout way, by quoting John Paul's document. \"In the past century, our human family has lived through three massive and unprecedented tragedies,\" Francis said. \"The first, which is widely considered 'the first genocide of the 20th century,' struck your own Armenian people.\" The middle phrase comes directly from the document issued 14 years ago by John Paul. In citing his predecessor, Francis highlighted one of the Vatican's chiefest concerns, especially on matters of moral import: continuity. Whether holding the line against artificial birth control, declining to ordain female priests or dealing with diplomatic tensions, it sometimes seems as if the church considers inconsistency the most unforgivable of sins. \"The Vatican and the papacy love continuity,\" said the Rev. Thomas Reese, a Vatican analyst for National Catholic Reporter. If Francis had not called the Armenian killings a genocide, particularly at such a high-profile event -- the audience included Armenia's President -- it might have been interpreted as a change in church policy, Reese said. At the same time, Francis didn't want to anger the Turks more than necessary, especially since they have become a key ally against the persecution", "summary": "Previous popes had finessed the question of whether the killing of 1.5 million Armenians was genocide. Because he often shines such a smiley face on the world, it can be easy to forget the bluntness Francis sometimes brings to the bully pulpit ."}
+{"article": "(CNN)Pope Francis risked Turkish anger on Sunday by using the word \"genocide\" to refer to the mass killings of Armenians a century ago under the Ottoman Empire. \"In the past century, our human family has lived through three massive and unprecedented tragedies,\" the Pope said at a Mass at St. Peter's Basilica to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian massacres. \"The first, which is widely considered 'the first genocide of the 20th century,' struck your own Armenian people,\" he said, referencing a 2001 declaration by Pope John Paul II and the head of the Armenian church. His use of the term genocide -- even though he was quoting from the declaration -- upset Turkey. The nation recalled its ambassador to the Vatican for \"consultations\" just hours after Francis' comments, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said. Earlier, Turkey summoned the ambassador from the Vatican for a meeting, Turkish state broadcaster TRT reported. Turkey's former ambassador to the Vatican, Kenan Gursoy, told CNN in a telephone interview that while it is the first time Turkey has summoned its ambassador home from the Vatican, \"This does not mean that our diplomatic ties with the Vatican are over.\" \"Since this is a situation that we do not approve of, as a first reaction, (the ambassador) is summoned to get consultation,\" Gursoy said, adding that the Pope's use of the word \"genocide\" was \"a one-sided evaluation.\" In a tweet Sunday on his official account, Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called the Pope's use of the word \"unacceptable\" and \"out of touch with both historical facts and legal basis.\" \"Religious offices are not places through which hatred and animosity are fueled by unfounded allegations,\" the tweet reads. This consternation over the use of the word 'genocide' occurs regularly. And Armenians are equally upset, when Turkey protests it. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian rebuked Turkey. \"We are in a situation in which Turkey speaks a different language from the rest of the international community and it seems that it doesn't understand that it is speaking a different language,\" he said to Italian News Agency Adnkronos. \"During these past days there have been several international organizations that adopt resolutions or issue statements that recognize the Armenian genocide and that appeal to Turkey to make this step,\" he said. \"The Pope's statement are in this context of universal value. When Turkey is able to understand this, it will be able to understand what the International community and big personalities (or better translations 'leaders') are saying.\" Armenian groups and many scholars say that Turks planned and carried out genocide, starting in 1915, when more than a million ethnic Armenians were massacred in the final years of the Ottoman Empire. Turkey officially denies that a genocide took place, saying hundreds of thousands of Armenian Christians and Turkish Muslims died in intercommunal violence around the bloody battlefields of World War I. The Armenian government and influential Armenian diaspora groups have urged countries around the world to formally label the 1915 events as genocide.

+{"article": "Rome (CNN)A destination for the destitute, Sicily is the \"promised land\" for thousands of migrants and refugees making the desperate journey from North Africa to Europe's Mediterranean coast. More than 10,000 people have arrived from Libya since last weekend alone, according to the Italian Coast Guard. Stories of death at sea and unimaginable suffering are nothing new in the waters between North Africa and Italy; boat people have been arriving on Italy's islands for more than a decade. But what makes the current influx different is the increase in numbers and the absence of control from the ports of embarkation, specifically those in Libya, because when Moammar Gadhafi was in control, he also controlled the flow of migrant ships. In 2008, the-then Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Gadhafi signed an historic friendship agreement in which Italy promised to invest $5 billion in Libyan infrastructure and Gadhafi promised to close what he described as a \"spigot\" of migrants. During a three-day state visit to Italy in August 2010, he famously threatened to \"turn Europe black\" if Libya did not enjoy cordial relations with the European Union. After the agreement, Gadhafi kept his promise and the number of arrivals drastically decreased. For a time, almost all migrant arrivals came from Tunisia, just 70 miles from the Italian island of Lampedusa. Because Italy sent most of those migrants who did not qualify for political asylum back to Tunisia, the flow eventually tapered off. And once a new Tunisian government was in place, after the Arab Spring, Italy signed an accord with Tunisia in which they promised to help patrol Tunisia's ports. But after Gadhafi was overthrown, the flow of migrants from Libya exploded again: the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Rome told CNN that more than 140,000 migrants arrived from the North Africa coast in 2011. In October 2013, after a tragic boat accident off the coast of Lampedusa in which 349 people -- including an infant still attached to its mother by the umbilical cord -- died, trapped like sardines in their smugglers' boat as it sank, Italy decided it had to act. In November of 2013, the Italian Navy launched a \u20ac9M-a-month search-and-rescue program called Mare Nostrum, in which Italian naval ships patrolled the seas to rescue migrants. In just one year, the program rescued more than 160,000 migrants, according to the Italian Navy. Due to budget constraints and criticism from the European Union that the program itself was encouraging migrants to head across the Mediterranean, the mission ended in October 2014. By the end of the year, more than 174,000 people had been rescued in Italy; an estimated 3,072 people died making the journey, according to the IOM. In November last year, the European Union's border control, Frontex, started its own mission -- Triton -- with a budget of less than a third that of Mare Nostrum. Frontex has no vessels or surveillance equipment of its own, so has to rely on European member states to lend them ships; a ship from Iceland, at the far north of the continent,", "summary": "Tens of thousands of migrants and refugees risk the perilous journey across the Mediterranean every year .

Suddenly, he's set to buy his own place and collect a nice pension. Helinski hit it big thanks to the Social Security Administration, and a big-hearted cop and a case worker determined to untangle major bureaucracy. Charles Inman could not bear to see his 62-year-old ward land back on the street, he told CNN affiliate WFTS. The shelter where the case worker works set Helinski up with a bunk and a locker.

+{"article": "(CNN)In Russia's tightly-managed democracy, where being an opposition politician can seriously damage your health, chances to question the country's leader are rare. President Vladimir Putin cuts an isolated figure, closely guarded behind the walls of the Kremlin, traveling to-and-fro by helicopter or high-speed motorcade. His almost daily appearances on state television often show him in formal meetings with subordinates, or visiting dignitaries. Interaction with ordinary Russians is usually carefully controlled and fleeting. That is why this annual Q&A session -- in which Putin will spend hours fielding questions from the general public on live television -- is such a widely anticipated event which provokes such excitement. It is direct access to the Russian leader, or at least as direct as most Russians will ever get. In recent years, sitting in a shiny studio surrounded by a hand-picked audience of soldiers, doctors, teachers, factory workers and so on, Putin has held forth on subjects from parenting to food prices, to relations with America. Last year he spoke for three hours and 55 minutes. In 2013, it was a record-breaking 4 hours and 47 minutes. Organizers say this year, public interest is especially strong. At one call center in Moscow, where the public are encouraged to pitch their Putin questions, officials say more than 200,000 questions were submitted in the first hour after lines opened. The Kremlin says they will have to sift through well over 1.7 million emails, video messages and texts to decide who gets to ask what on the big day. A few would-be questions released ahead of the event give us a flavor of what's on Russia's mind. One man, who identifies himself as Vitaly from the Leningrad region, asks: \"Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin's middle name), why are prices going up in the shops but wages are staying the same?\" Sanctions and Russia's deep economic crisis, which saw the value of the Russian currency, the ruble, plunge in value by 50% against the dollar, is set to be a major a theme. So too is foreign policy. With Moscow at odds with the West over Ukraine, some of the released questions show how concerned ordinary Russians are about their country's place in the world. One unidentified schoolgirl asks: \"Is there a threat to Russia's interests from the United States and Europe? And will there be a new Iron Curtain?\" It's not just Russian schoolchildren who want to hear Putin's answer. Critics of the Kremlin, of course, slam this entire event as Russia's imitation of democracy in action. It's hard to imagine a truly critical question, they say, getting aired on national television here. In fact, its best not to look at this event as an opportunity for Russians to question their leader at all. Instead, it is more like a highly produced, highly choreographed chance for their leader to speak to them, and to the world. Sometimes, the Kremlin likes to throw in a nasty surprise, too. Last year saw NSA whistleblower, Edward Snowden, granted asylum in Russia, address Putin by videolink.

In his remarks at an anti-vaccination movie screening, he decided to compare \"vaccine-induced\" autism to the Holocaust. He said, \"They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone,\" Kennedy said. \"This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country.\" A few days later, he apologized to people who were outraged on behalf of the memory of the Holocaust. To many, it's sacrilege to compare any lesser issue to the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis. In a statement, Kennedy said, \"I want to apologize to all whom I offended by my use of the word to describe the autism epidemic. I employed the term during an impromptu speech as I struggled to find an expression to convey the catastrophic tragedy of autism, which has now destroyed the lives of over 20 million children and shattered their families.\" Robert Kennedy Jr. has apologized for the wrong things. First and foremost, vaccines do not cause autism. The two have nothing to do with each other. Second, he seems to think people with autism are \"gone,\" their lives \"destroyed\" and their families \"shattered.\" Autism is not a death sentence. People with autism are not missing or destroyed. They are everywhere, trying to live their lives in a society that too often demeans them as subhuman, missing or worthless. Kennedy's rhetoric is a problem, even beyond the fraudulent basis for his claims about vaccines. People who believe autism is an environmental disease try to cure kids with quack treatments like giving them bleach-based enemas. Others, believing autism functions as a death sentence, even kill their children. I am worried about the effect of having such a powerful, high-profile member of our political class endorse this demeaning depiction of life with autism. I reached out to a number of autistic activists for comment. Ari Ne'eman, president of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, wrote, \"Robert Kennedy Jr, who has engaged with autism only to spread lies, misinformation and dehumanizing rhetoric, has never meaningfully engaged in efforts to improve the lives of autistic Americans. While his father, uncle and many others in the Kennedy-Shriver family championed the rights of people with disabilities, he has instead cast his lot with those who use pseudo-science to question our humanity.\" These are harsh words, but try to see the situation through Ne'eman's eyes. Not only is Kennedy perpetuating a discredited theory, but he's also suggesting that it's better to let your children get preventable and sometimes fatal diseases than risk becoming autistic. The usual response to people like Ne'eman is that he is \"high functioning,\" but what of the burden to families who are struggling to care for less able individuals?

+{"article": "(CNN)Remember the Tuskegee syphilis experiment from the 1930s? Scientists studied poor African-Americans in Alabama who'd contracted the venereal disease but didn't tell them they had the disease or do anything to cure them. A lawsuit filed this week alleges Johns Hopkins University and the Rockefeller Foundation helped conduct a similar study in Guatemala from 1945 to 1956. Orphans, inmates, psychiatric patients and prostitutes were deliberately infected with sexually transmitted diseases to determine what drugs, including penicillin, worked best in stopping the diseases, the lawsuit says. The subjects of the experiments weren't told they'd been infected, the lawsuit says, causing some to die and others to pass the disease to their spouses, sexual partners and children. The suit seeks more than $1 billion in damages and has 774 plaintiffs, including people who were subjects in the experiments and their descendants. This is the second attempt to collect damages. In 2012, a class-action federal lawsuit was filed against the U.S. government over the Guatemala experiments conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service. A judge dismissed it, saying the Guatemalans could not sue the United States for grievances that happened overseas. The new lawsuit was filed in the Baltimore City Circuit Court. Johns Hopkins and the Rockefeller Foundation filed statements on their websites condemning the experiments, but denying responsibility. \"The plaintiffs' essential claim in this case is that prominent Johns Hopkins faculty members' participation on a government committee that reviewed funding applications was tantamount to conducting the research itself and that therefore Johns Hopkins should be held liable,\" the Johns Hopkins statement said. \"Neither assertion is true.\" The lawsuit alleges the Rockefeller Foundation funded Johns Hopkins' research into public health issues, including venereal disease, and employed scientists who monitored the Guatemala experiments. The lawsuit, the Rockefeller Foundation statement said, \"seeks improperly to assign 'guilt by association' in the absence of compensation from the United States federal government.\" The suit says Johns Hopkins and the Rockefeller Foundation designed, supported and benefited from the Guatemala experiments. Bristol-Myers Squibb pharmaceutical group and that company's owner, Mead Johnson, also are defendants. The pharmaceutical company supplied drugs for the experiments, the suit says. On Saturday, a spokeswoman for Bristol-Myers Squibb sent this statement to CNN: \"We've only just received the complaint in this matter. Bristol-Myers Squibb played an important role in the development of penicillin in the past and today we continue to focus our work on developing breakthrough medicines for serious disease. As a company dedicated to patients, we take this matter very seriously and are reviewing the allegations.\" Nobody doubts the experiments happened. In 2010, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton apologized to Guatemala for the experiments, saying they were \"clearly unethical.\" In the 1930s and 1940s, the government followed a policy of funding scientific medical research but not controlling individual doctors, the suit says.

+{"article": "Tokyo (CNN)A week after a Japanese court issued a landmark injunction halting plans to restart two nuclear reactors in a western prefecture, a different court has rejected a petition by residents to delay the reactivation of reactors in the country's southwest. Kagoshima District Court found no \"irrationalities\" in new safety standards set out by the government in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima meltdowns, Japanese news agency Kyodo reported. By dismissing resident's demands, the court ruled that the Sendai nuclear power plant in Kagoshima could restart. The first of two reactors is scheduled to go back online in July. The ruling could provide a fillip to the government's plans to bring Japanese nuclear reactors back into operation, more than four years since the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that caused the failure at TEPCO's Fukushima plant. The original court ruling, which affects the Takahama plant in Fukui Prefecture, cited safety concerns as the reason for the injunction, a court official told CNN. Japan's nuclear watchdog, the Nuclear Regulation Authority, had previously given a green light to the reopening of reactors 3 and 4 of the Kansai Electric Power Company's plant. But locals successfully petitioned the court in Fukui, raising concerns about whether the reactors would survive a strong earthquake. Japan's 48 nuclear reactors are offline in the wake of the Fukushima disaster in 2011, when a tsunami triggered by a massive earthquake sent a wall of water crashing into the power plant. Since then, the island nation has imported greater amounts of expensive natural gas and coal to meet its energy needs. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has pushed for a return to nuclear energy, arguing it is essential to the country's economic recovery to reduce the skyrocketing utility bills associated with energy imports. But opinion polls have consistently shown public opposition to a nuclear restart. Keith Henry, managing director of Tokyo-based Asia Strategy, which advises businesses on Japanese public policy issues, says the decision will force Abe to rethink the economics of his energy policy. \"That was a body blow (for Abe) because it's no longer a political issue, it's a legal issue. It changes the calculus and the dynamics,\" he said. \"It's now in the courts.

+{"article": "(CNN)Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is scheduled to speak Wednesday to a joint meeting of Congress. The address marks the first time in history that the head of the Japanese government will address the entire U.S. Congress, and given the importance of the U.S.-Japan relationship, it is an invitation long overdue. So far, Prime Minister Abe's appearance has garnered much less attention than last month's speech to Congress by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This is not surprising; in a recent survey by the Pew Research Center nearly three-quarters of the respondents indicated they had \"never heard of\" Shinzo Abe, underscoring just how difficult it is for the Obama administration to sell its much-vaunted \"pivot\" or \"rebalance\" to the American public. Nevertheless, Abe arrives in Washington at an opportune time to help along the economic centerpiece of the \"pivot,\" the Trans-Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement, or TPP. The TPP is a potentially massive free trade agreement involving the United States, Japan and 10 other Pacific-facing nations -- combined, these countries account for 40% of global GDP. And beyond its potential economic impact, it also allows the United States to expand its influence in Asia, providing an alternative to China-centered agreements such as the Regional Cooperative Economic Partnership. The stakes, therefore, are significant. But so is some of the opposition to an agreement that has been negotiated in secret. Prominent Democrats such as Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, for example, have been critical of the TPP, arguing that provisions such as one on international arbitration of disputes between investors and states undermine U.S. sovereignty. But the immediate battle in Congress is not over the TPP directly, but something called trade promotion authority, or \"Fast-Track.\" Trade promotion authority, which would allow trade agreements such as the TPP to come before Congress without amendment, has been on the books for decades. The power to use trade promotion authority, however, must be periodically reauthorized. Congress voted narrowly to give President Bush trade promotion authority in 2002, but that authority expired in 2007 and has not been renewed. There is near universal agreement that the current talks cannot be concluded unless the Congress reauthorizes trade promotion authority, without which the 11 other nations that are parties to the talks cannot be confident that the United States speaks with one voice. Republicans control both houses of Congress, and are generally supportive of free trade. But while passage of trade promotion authority in the Senate is likely, the result in the House, where Abe will be speaking, is less certain. This is in part because some House Republicans are simply loath to delegate any power to the President, while others are certainly aware of the ramifications of the trade promotion authority vote for 2016. After all, the fact that Republicans would actually be supporting the proposal of a Democratic President will not prevent Democrats -- and their labor supporters -- from using the vote as a weapon to diminish support for Republicans among those white, working-class voters who were so crucial to Republican success in", "summary": "Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will address Congress on Wednesday .

We are near Jalalabad, at a regional logistics hub for the Afghan police force -- a generous facility that was originally intended to resupply the entire east of the country with uniforms, ammunition, even fuel for vehicles. The intentions, first hatched in 2011 when the U.S. had tens of thousands of troops and still large ambitions for their war here, were large in scale. But the project has been handed between rotations of U.S. officers and is perhaps a little distant from its first conception. We are taken on a proud tour of a series of clean and newly painted blocks. Dozens of Afghan police gather there, and mill around, waiting for their commanders to arrive. Nick Paton Walsh's Afghanistan series: Afghan forced to marry her rapist . Yet a few problems are immediately visible. There are no doorhandles on the outer doors -- we're told they've been removed while a new master key is being sought. There seem to be few supplies in the actual hub. We ask the Afghan policemen how many of them get resupplied there, at this stage, four months since it opened, and they say: none. About 20 units a month file paperwork for resupply in the base, but supplies often still come from where they did before -- Kabul. U.S. officials told us they are optimistic the logistical road ahead can be smoothed -- that in the 18 plus months they have left they can get the Afghan army and police up to furnishing themselves with the supply lines they need. But here, now, that seems far away. As does the base, incidentally. It's quite a rough drive from the main road, surrounded by hills, and with at best patchy cellphone coverage -- far from ideal for a transit hub. Nick Paton Walsh's Afghanistan series: ISIS recruits in Taliban territory . And it is far away in terms of its cost.

+{"article": "Panama City (CNN)This was the handshake that shook the Western Hemisphere. President Obama briefly met his Cuban counterpart, Raul Castro, on Friday night at a dinner for the dozens of Latin American leaders convening in Panama City for the Summit of the Americas. This was historic. The two nations have barely been on speaking terms -- officially -- for more than 50 years. The meeting was so important that Bernadette Meehan, National Security Council spokesperson, issued a statement: \"At the Summit of the Americas this evening, President Obama and President Castro greeted each other and shook hands.\" Cuba and the United States had endured a half-century of enmity, the tension worsened by the two nations being only 90 miles apart. Key events of those years include some of the most traumatic in modern U.S. history, such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Bay of Pigs and the Mariel boatlift of 1980. But the two leaders have been building up to the historic face-to-face. Obama spoke by phone Wednesday with the Cuban leader before heading to Panama. They met Friday at the dinner and are expected to spend a lot more time together on Saturday when the summit begins in earnest. Obama arrived in Panama late Thursday for the conference, which in years past was tinged with animosity at Cuba's exclusion. Moments after Marine One, Obama's helicopter, touched down in Panama City, Castro's plane landed on the same tarmac. Panamanian television carried both arrivals live. During their phone call Wednesday, Obama and Castro discussed the ongoing process of normalizing relations between the United States and Cuba, according to Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes. He said it \"made sense\" for the two leaders to communicate before their anticipated interactions Friday and Saturday. Those run-ins will represent the highest-level talks between the United States and Cuba since a meeting between then-Vice President Richard Nixon and then-Prime Minister Fidel Castro in 1959. \"We're in new territory here,\" Rhodes said on Friday. \"The reason we're here is that the President strongly believes that an approach that was focused totally on isolation, focused totally on seeking to cut off the Cuban people from the United States of America had failed.\" Obama was expecting a warm welcome from the dozens of countries represented at the conference, after announcing in December he was seeking to engage Havana in talks over reopening embassies and removing barriers to commerce and travel. In Panama, Obama is expected to announce he's removing Cuba from the United States' list of countries that sponsor terrorism, a major advance in building diplomatic ties between the two countries. The State Department delivered its report on the designation to the White House on Wednesday; Obama said on Thursday a panel of experts was reviewing it before he makes a final determination. The White House isn't ruling out a final decision before Obama leaves Panama late Saturday night. In remarks during a brief stopover in Jamaica on Thursday, Obama strongly hinted he was ready to remove Cuba from the list, which also includes Iran, Sudan and Syria. \"Throughout this", "summary": "U.S. President Obama, Cuban President Raul Castro meet in Panama City .

+{"article": "(CNN)In the hours after the funeral of Freddie Gray, a community center and apartment complex that local leaders expected to serve as a catalyst for the rebuilding of a long blighted East Baltimore neighborhood went up in flames. The $16 million Mary Harvin Transformation Center was being built in a part of town where half the properties are vacant buildings or barren lots, where unemployment rates reach 25% and poverty and despair is rampant. \"Disheartened and bewildered\" was how the Rev. Donte Hickman, pastor of East Baltimore's Southern Baptist Church, described feeling Tuesday as he surveyed the still-smoldering ruins of the centerpiece of a community rebuilding effort led by his church and a coalition of other congregations. \"I see the hopelessness ... and the emotions of the people but I still see hope in God that we can rise from the ashes,\" he said. \"We can rebuild. This cannot be the legacy of Baltimore.\" The project was to include about 60 senior citizen apartments and a community center. In the works for eight years, the center was to provide behavioral health counseling, support services for people and families with HIV and AIDS, employment training, home and credit counseling, and ex-offender re-entry services, according to documents filed with the state of Maryland. The cause of the blaze was still under investigation. The brick building burned to the ground in the riots that followed Monday's funeral for Gray, who died mysteriously on April 19, a week after Baltimore police arrested him. Anger over Gray's death may have spurred Monday's violence -- including buildings and cars set ablaze by rioters, looting and clashes with the police -- but members of Baltimore's clergy said it was also spurred by lasting issues with young African-Americans in the city. \"We've been trying to make a major difference, trying to transform the community only to discover that something as tragic as this would take place,\" said the Rev. Walden Wilson II, pastor of Israel Baptist Church -- part of the East Baltimore Minister's Community Development Partnership. \"We saw it coming,\" he added. \"Baltimore is a tinderbox. We have a lot of anger as a result of unemployment. We have a high rate of incarceration.\" High concentrations of poverty, underfunded and failing schools, neglected public housing projects and a lack of employment opportunities have been among the social issues long simmering below East Baltimore's crumbling row houses, according to the local church leaders. \"I think the reason that they burned it is exactly the reason why we needed it,\" Hickman said of the community center. \"We were seeking to restore people while we rebuilt properties. We wanted to effect change in the human community as well as rebuild properties with affordable housing.\" The Rev. Reginald Thomas, pastor of Greater Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church and member of the coalition, said parts of Baltimore have not recovered from the 1968 riots that followed the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Those riots sped up the flight of city residents to the suburbs.

After a marathon stretch of late-night negotiations in Lausanne, Switzerland, diplomats announced they'd come up with the framework for an agreement that's been months in the making. Iran would reduce its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98% and significantly scale back its number of installed centrifuges, according to the plan. In exchange, the United States and the European Union would lift sanctions that have crippled the country's economy. \"It is a good deal, a deal that meets our core objectives,\" U.S. President Barack Obama said in a speech from the White House Rose Garden. \"This framework would cut off every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon.\" The deal would include strict verification measures to make sure Iran complies, he said. \"If Iran cheats,\" Obama said, \"the world will know it.\" Key points of the deal . The world powers involved in the talks with Iran were the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom and Germany. For the United States and Iran, two countries with a long history of strained relations, the negotiations took on an added significance. Just two years ago, they hadn't talked with each other officially in nearly four decades. \"I think there was a seriousness of purpose,\" U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told CNN in an interview shortly after the framework was announced. \"People negotiated hard. It was tough, very intense at times, sometimes emotional and confrontational. It was a very intensive process, because the stakes are very high, and because there is a long history of not talking to each other. For 35 years, we haven't talked with the Iranians directly like this.\" On Thursday, Iranian state television broadcast Obama's speech live, something many Iranians described as unprecedented. Some Iranians marked the historic moment in U.S.-Iranian relations on Twitter by sharing \"selfies\" of themselves in front of the live Obama speech. But U.S. leaders were still talking tough, even as they praised the agreement. Kerry stressed that if a final deal is reached with Iran, the removal of any sanctions against Tehran will come in phases. \"And if we find out at any point that Iran is not complying with the agreement, the sanctions can snap back into place,\" he said. Iran didn't seem to be changing its tune, either. \"Iran-U.S. relations had nothing to do with this. This was an attempt to resolve the nuclear issue. ... We have serious differences with the United States,\" Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said after the deal's framework was announced, noting that \"mutual mistrust\" had been a serious problem in the talks.

+{"article": "(CNN)Several of the world's worst terrorist groups, like ISIS and Al-Shabaab, aim to create societies governed by strict, distorted versions of Sharia law. That means anyone who doesn't subscribe to such extremist views are enemies and in danger -- Christians included. Of course, Christians aren't the only ones who have suffered at the hands of such organizations. For example, most victims of ISIS are fellow Muslims who refuse to go along with the ISIS worldview and ruthless tactics. Still, there's ample evidence that Christians have been targeted. The latest came Friday, when an Italian prosecutor revealed that a network of Pakistanis associated with al Qaeda talked about attacking the Vatican back in March 2010. \"This is ... a reminder about the world we're in right now,\" U.S. Rep. John Delaney, D-Maryland, told CNN on Friday. \"...I do think there's a larger narrative about Christian persecution (by) militant groups around the world.\" This attack wasn't carried out, but many others have been. Some acts are not centrally organized but are no less horrific, such as reports that Muslim migrants threw 12 Christians off a boat in the Mediterranean Sea. Other deadly acts and alleged plots have been blamed on established terror groups, including these recent examples: . Sid Ahmed Ghlam asked for an ambulance to come to his Paris home on Sunday after (he claimed) he accidentally shot himself in the thigh. Besides getting medical help, Ghlam was arrested after authorities found four Kalashnikov guns, a revolver, ammunition, police armbands and more in his car and residence, Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said on Wednesday. They also turned up \"documents in Arabic mentioning al Qaeda and ISIS\" and correspondence with someone in Syria \"asking him to target a church.\" Prime Minister Manuel Valls later went to a church in the Paris suburb of Villejuif, one of the at least two such Christian places of worship that Ghlam allegedly targeted. While he didn't elaborate, Molins said that the satellite navigation system in Ghlam's car -- which included a loaded Kalashnikov and more -- had one church's location plugged in. It's not clear what group, if any, Ghlam was working with or possibly getting orders from. Still, authorities flatly characterized him as a terrorist -- linking him to the death of 32-year-old Aurelie Chatelain, whom Molins called the region's first victim of terrorism since the Charlie Hebdo massacre and kosher market siege in January. Regardless of whether Ghlam is ever convicted in Chatelain's killing, it appears unlikely that he'll be able to commit more violence anytime soon. \"A terrorist attack has been foiled,\" French President Francois Hollande said. ISIS has turned its beheadings of hostages into horror shows, producing propaganda videos seemingly aimed at producing the maximum amount of terror. What set the one from April apart were the number of people killed and that they were Christians from Ethiopia.

+{"article": "(CNN)The powers of Marvel's all-star superheroes go a bit wobbly in \"Avengers: Age of Ultron.\" Faced with the daunting prospect of topping the surprise and excitement of 2012's The Avengers, the third highest-grossing film of all time, writer-director Joss Whedon mixes some brooding down-time in with the abundant spectacle. To be sure, series junkies will get their fix from the sheer massiveness of the exploits, but at least two of the big action scenes are lackluster, while the climax and resolution could have been worked out in more complex, less rote ways, so as to further increase intrigue and anticipation for \"Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 and 2,\" already scheduled for release in May of 2018 and 2019, respectively. Not that any of this will matter much, since the pent-up excitement among the enormous international fan base is so intense that nothing will keep the summer's presumed biggest franchise blockbuster from soaring to and beyond the one-billion dollar threshold internationally. Hands-on producer Kevin Feige and his associates have built a cinematic empire quite unprecedented in Hollywood history, a veritable solar system of staggeringly profitable individual franchises unified by the overpowering collective force of the Avengers. So while sideline enterprises like the new \"Daredevil\" TV series continue to pop up, the company can be so confident in the enduring appeal of its theatrical mainstays that it recently published a release schedule for its remaining big-gun commercial titles from now through the end of the decade.

In the meantime, the key points of interest surround how many surprises and twists can be wrung from a format and set of expectations that demand great fealty from core fans; any significant deviations are taken as personal betrayals by the hardest-core geeks. Last summer, \"Guardians of the Galaxy\" showed that Marvel could play it a bit more fast and loose than it generally does, but the big-name franchises still seem sacrosanct.

Lee and seven other politicians with links to the South Korean President are under investigation. A special prosecutor's team has been established to investigate the case. Lee had adamantly denied the allegations as the scandal escalated: \"If there are any evidence, I will give out my life. As a Prime Minister, I will accept Prosecutor Office's investigation first.\" Park has said that she is taking the accusations very seriously. Before departing on her trip to Central and South America, she condemned political corruption in her country. \"Corruption and deep-rooted evil are issues that can lead to taking away people's lives. We take this very seriously.\" \"We must make sure to set straight this issue as a matter of political reform. I will not forgive anyone who is responsible for corruption or wrongdoing.\" Park is in Peru and is expected to arrive back to South Korea on April 27.

+{"article": "(CNN)ISIS fighters seized several districts in the Iraqi city of Ramadi in an hours-long assault Friday that included suicide and car bombs, an Iraqi provincial official said. At least 10 Iraqi security forces were killed in the attacks, according to Faleh al-Essawi, the deputy head of Iraq's Anbar provincial council. And the head of the Iraqi military operation in Anbar province, Gen. Qassim al-Muhammadi, was wounded. The northern Ramadi districts of Albu Faraj, Albu Essa and Albu Risha were in the hands of ISIS by the time the day was done. Located about 70 miles (110 kilometers) west of Baghdad, Ramadi has seen intense and persistent fighting for months. ISIS took over parts of that western Anbar city in the first half of 2014, and it's been part of a tug of war ever since. Iraqi security forces discovered tunnels in February that they say could have led opposition fighters to a central government compound in the city. But they didn't find all of them: A few weeks later, ISIS detonated hundreds of homemade bombs from a tunnel underneath an army headquarters there, according to Sabah Al-Karhout, the head of the Anbar provincial council. More than 40 Iraqi soldiers died in that explosion. Iraqi and allied forces have made inroads in recent weeks, beating back the group that calls itself the Islamic State, which took over vast swaths of Iraq and neighboring Syria last year. Their most high-profile victory, for instance, was the recapture of Tikrit. And U.S.-led airstrikes have already made a difference, according to officials in Washington and beyond. Still, ISIS remains a formidable force and, as the Ramadi assault shows, one that's still capable and willing to go on offense to take territory. That may be best illustrated by the case of Mosul, Iraq's second largest city and the site of one of its biggest embarrassments when Iraqi soldiers and police dropped their weapons and fled their posts as ISIS forces advanced last June. A U.S. official said in February that up to 25,000 Iraqis troops were expected to return to the key northern Iraqi city in April or May. But, on Thursday, a senior official in U.S. President Barack Obama's administration appeared to back away from that timeline -- saying an Iraqi-led assault on Mosul \"might be some time from now (or) might be soon.\" Calling for \"patience,\" an administration official said that winning Mosul is a complex endeavor. The same could be said for the entire effort to defeat ISIS. It will \"take a lot of capacity,\" the official said, \"and some time to build.\" CNN's Kim Acosta contributed to this report.", "summary": "Anbar provincial official: Suicide and car bombs were part of the ISIS assault .

Some of the hundreds who confronted lines of police officers got into shoving matches with helmeted cops while other demonstrators threw objects. At least five police cars were damaged by people who smashed windows and jumped on them. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she was profoundly disappointed by the violence, adding that 95% of the protesters were respectful but a \"small group of agitators intervened.\" Twelve people were arrested, Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said. \"We continue to have a few isolated pockets of individuals causing disturbances. We are deploying resources to keep everyone safe,\" the Baltimore Police Department tweeted. Fredericka Gray, the twin sister of Freddie Gray, made a statement: \"My family wants to say, 'Can y'all please, please stop the violence? Freddie Gray would not want this.' Freddie's father and mother do not want any violence. Violence does not get justice.\" Vandals broke and damaged storefront windows and trashed one 7-Eleven, police said. CNN crews observed a window damaged at a Michael Kors store and holes in one at a Subway restaurant. The skirmishes followed a planned demonstration over how police handled the arrest of Gray, a 25-year-old Baltimore man who suffered a spinal injury at some point after he was detained by police on April 12. He died a week later. The numbers of protesters dissipated substantially just before sunset, though some people were still walking in the streets near Oriole Park at Camden Yards, causing some traffic problems. Earlier, demonstrators had marched through the streets until they arrived at City Hall. Along the way, whenever it appeared the protest might get out of control, organizers reined the marchers back in. The event ended after speeches at Baltimore City Hall on Saturday evening, but many protesters continued to vent their anger by marching down to Inner Harbor. When demonstrators got to the stadium, tensions escalated and some people threw what appeared to be water bottles and other objects at the cops, who wore helmets and stood behind metal barricades. Fans who were arriving to watch the hometown Orioles play the Boston Red Sox were having trouble finding ways to the entrance gates. The Orioles won the game 5-4 in extra innings. For a time it appeared that fans would be held inside the ballpark until the demonstration quieted, but the gates were opened before the contest was over. Throughout the day, protesters yelled, \"No justice, no peace\" and \"All night, all day; we're gonna fight for Freddie Gray.\" The police department used Twitter to update the public on the progress of the march. At City Hall, speakers demanded justice for the Gray family and an end to what they called police brutality against black suspects.

The journalist instead started asking personal questions about the actor's political beliefs and \"dark periods\" of addiction and jail time. Twitter, of course, is abuzz: Did journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy go too far? Must every interview be a license for a journalist to ask anything he'd like? From the start of the 7-minute television interview, it seems evident that Downey is not particularly interested in being there, even if being there was, ultimately, a benefit to him -- after all, he's promoting his latest film, \"Avengers: Age of Ultron.\" He grows increasingly agitated, even as the line of questioning remains on-topic; his attitude, meanwhile, grew increasingly smug. His eyes glaze over as the reporter talks, he makes condescending comments and gestures that seem intended to intimidate and imply he's much smarter than Guru-Murthy, and he repeatedly looks toward his handler as if to say, \"Do I really have to sit here with this guy?\" At one point, he makes fun of Guru-Murthy for seeming nervous, saying, \"Your foot is starting to jump a little bit. You better get to your next question.\" But it's after Guru-Murthy asks Downey whether he thinks he is \"free from all of that,\" referring to Downey's history of \"taking drugs, drinking\" that the building tension comes to a head. \"I'm sorry,\" says Downey, \"What are we doing?\" To which Guru-Murthy replies, \"I'm just asking questions,\" which indeed was so. Downey has the right to refuse to answer the question, of course, but that's not what he does next. Instead, he throws the celebrity interview equivalent of a tantrum: He smiles arrogantly, says \"bye!\" and stands up to leave. He sure showed him! It's true that we live in a culture where we feel we have the right to know everything about celebrities -- who they're dating, what they're eating, where they vacation, what they meant when they made that comment 10 years ago. Journalists often go too far, even if it's their job. And certainly not every journalist is good at his job. But while Downey may be understandably tired of answering questions about his past, questions that have been asked before, his business is our business. The entertainment industry is about entertaining people. As such, we tend to like to watch actors who seem like they want to be watched. This is why most celebrities, especially those with a big budget movie to promote, agree to interviews and seek out recognition in general. But when the recognition no longer serves them? Then they want to bemoan it? What Downey seemed to misunderstand is that the interview format gives journalists the right to ask questions. That's what an interview is. He certainly can decline to answer questions he does not feel are appropriate, or even ones he simply doesn't feel like answering. But he does not have the right to be absolved for behavior that is rude, demeaning,", "summary": "Peggy Drexler: In interview to promote movie, Robert Downey Jr. walked out after being asked personal questions .

+{"article": "(CNN)This week, social media heralded as #motheroftheyear Toya Graham, the Baltimore single mom who pulled her son, who was holding a brick, away from the scene of a riot. A video of Graham yanking young Michael from a group of protesters -- and subsequently pummeling him with her fists and a few slaps upside the head -- went viral. Many called her a hero: a mother determined to stop the cycle of violence. And yet, wasn't she also promoting violence? Her own reaction, after all, was to yell, curse and hit. \"Why is America celebrating the beating of a black child?\" asked a writer at The Washington Post. Isn't violence at home what leads to violence outside the home? Isn't this why rioting happens? I'm not excusing violence in any form. I wish it didn't exist. But Baltimore isn't on fire because of mothers like Graham. In fact, what we need, not only in communities like Baltimore but also in communities around the country, are more mothers like her. Mothers who will do whatever it takes to protect their children and steer them through the increasingly tricky course of adolescence. I don't see Graham as an abusive mother spreading the gospel, or at least the inevitability, of violence. I don't see her as a hero, either. What I do see in Graham is a woman who is just like millions of other mothers of adolescents, mothers whose daily struggle is focused on guiding their kids in a positive direction while also helping them develop their own identities and independence. Mothers who know the anger and frustration that can result when they catch their teenager in a lie. As Graham told Anderson Cooper, she'd told Michael the night before not to join in any riots. He swore he wouldn't. But her momma bear sense kicked in, and when she heard that school was closing early, she didn't take the chance that he'd stick to his promise. She went to the site of the riots to make sure that she could help him stay the course. She went there so that she could help him keep his promise. And when she got there and saw he hadn't, as she suspected, she reacted in the way that she knew would, in that moment, be most effective to get him out of there. And that's the key here. It's easy to punish a teenager for acting out, just as it's easy to punish Graham for taking out her frustrations on Michael in a physical way. But Graham's actions are evidence of her commitment as a parent. For better or worse, she knows her son. And she knows her community, and her reality. She knows that she's the mother of an adolescent boy living in a city caught up in a very heated, violent moment. And she will do anything to protect her son, including put herself in a dangerous situation to pull him out of there. Can we all say that?

Authorities detained the women in three cities -- Beijing, Guangzhou and Hangzhou -- a few days ahead of events planned for International Women's Day on March 8. \"Each and every one of us has the right to speak out against sexual harassment and the many other injustices that millions of women and girls suffer around the world,\" U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement Friday. \"We strongly support the efforts of these activists to make progress on these challenging issues, and we believe that Chinese authorities should also support them, not silence them.\" The detention of Wei Tingting, along with Wu Rongrong, Li Tingting, Wang Man and Zheng Churan has drawn harsh criticism from the international community. Protesters in several cities have called for their release and taken to social media with the phrase \"free the five\" as a hashtag. Wang Qiushi, the lawyer for Wei, said police recommended Monday that prosecutors press charges of \"assembling a crowd to disturb public order.\" Prosecutors have seven days -- until Monday -- to decide whether to pursue the charges, according to the lawyer. \"We can do nothing but wait,\" Wang said. The five were initially held on suspicion of \"picking quarrels and provoking trouble.\" Wang said he didn't know why the charge against the women changed. \"Neither should constitute a crime,\" he said. Campaign group Amnesty International said the new charge was less serious but still carried a maximum prison term of five years. \"The women were doing nothing wrong, nothing illegal. They were simply calling for an end to sexual harassment,\" said William Nee, China researcher at Amnesty International. Wang said that Wei was subjected to lengthy cross examinations during her detention. Two of the women are said to be in poor health. He added that the charges relate both to the activities the women planned for International Women's Day and earlier campaigns against domestic violence. The five are members of China's Women's Rights Action Group. They had planned to hand out stickers with slogans saying \"stop sexual harassment, let us stay safe\" and \"go police, go arrest those who committed sexual harassment!\" on International Women's Day.

In January, the NFL launched an investigation into the Patriots to determine why 11 of the 12 game balls they provided for the AFC Championship game were underinflated. The league hired attorney Ted Wells -- who also investigated the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal -- to run the investigation. Jeff Pash, the NFL's executive vice president and chief counsel, is assisting Wells in the effort. The league has also retained Renaissance Associates, an investigatory firm with sophisticated forensic expertise, to assist in reviewing electronic and video information. But three months later, it's still not clear when the investigation will be completed and when the findings will be announced. \"We have not put a time frame on Ted Wells,\" NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said March 25. \"We asked him to be thorough, complete and when he is finished with that -- he'll give that to us and to the public in general.\" On Monday, CNN reached out to Wells and the NFL for an update on the investigation but has not heard back. On January 18, the Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 to advance to the Super Bowl. They scored 28 of their points in the second half -- after game officials had pumped the balls back up to their regulation pressure -- so it's unlikely that the ball pressure made much difference in the outcome of the game. In February, Colts General Manager Ryan Grigson said at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis that prior to the AFC Championship game, his team notified the league of its concerns about the footballs. \"We went into the game, we had some issues, but we are going to do what we can and that's to participate with the league and the investigation and wait until the Wells report comes out,\" Grigson said February 19. \"We really have no other recourse than to wait until that investigation comes out.\" Each team provides a dozen footballs to the referee for testing two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. The home team also supplies 12 backup balls, and for outdoor games, the visiting team has the option of bringing another 12 balls. NFL rules state the referee \"shall be the sole judge as to whether all balls offered for play comply with these specifications. A pump is to be furnished by the home club, and the balls shall remain under the supervision of the Referee until they are delivered to the ball attendant just prior to the start of the game.\" The ball attendant brings the footballs to the field, and ball boys keep them on the sideline.

+{"article": "(CNN)Think it's hard to redeem your miles for an airline award ticket? It depends on which airline rewards program you've chosen, which route you're flying and when you book your ticket, according to a new Consumer Reports study of 70 million passenger trips over the past two years. The magazine collected statistics comparing award-seat availability for the five biggest U.S. airlines on domestic routes. The top performer was Southwest Airlines, which offered the most award tickets, 11.9 million, and the highest percentage of award tickets -- 11.5% of 103.1 million total passenger seats. \"The high number of award tickets is directly related to Southwest's unique combination of 'Every Seat is an Award Seat,' no blackout dates, points that don't expire, and a route map that reaches more than 90 different destinations in the U.S. and beyond, making us the largest domestic carrier in the U.S.,\" Southwest spokesperson Thais Conway Hanson told CNN. \"Unlike other carriers, we also don't charge fees for close-in bookings or penalize you for canceling your trip if something else comes up.\" At the bottom of the list was JetBlue, which offered the lowest percentage of award seats and the fewest number of award tickets of the five biggest U.S. airlines: 892,000 one-way passenger tickets, or 4.5% of its total 19.7 million U.S. seats. (JetBlue only operates in 10 of the top 25 markets included in the study.) Many JetBlue customers fly the airline only once or twice per year, making it hard to accumulate miles, an airline spokesman told the magazine. By not allowing miles to expire anymore, the airline says customers will be able to eventually redeem them. Delta Air Lines came in second place with 5.6 million U.S. award seats; United Airlines ranked third with 5 million U.S. award tickets; and American Airlines was fourth with 3.5 million U.S. award seats. What are the world's safest airlines? Remember that award tickets aren't actually free. The cost of miles is built into everything you buy that's earning you miles, and the airlines profit from you not using your miles at all. So it behooves consumers to book award travel carefully. On average, nearly 10% of passengers on the five airlines analyzed by Consumer Reports flew on domestic award tickets, but some of them weren't getting the best value for their miles. While many U.S. fliers redeemed miles on American Airlines flights from Los Angeles to San Francisco, the cheapest average fare on that route was just over $100 -- not worth the 12,500 to 30,000 miles needed for an award ticket, Consumer Reports says. Better to use them on American Airlines' route between New York and San Francisco or Delta's route between Chicago and Los Angeles, which are generally more expensive than that Los Angeles-San Francisco route, according to Consumer Reports' calculations. While award-seat availability is important, it may not matter as much as passengers' overall satisfaction with an airline.

Michael Czugaj . Life in prison was the original sentence for 29-year-old Michael Czugaj, also of Brisbane. Nineteen at the time of his arrest, Czugaj is one of five of the Bali Nine whose sentence was reduced to 20 years in prison, then reinstated at life again. During his trial, Czugaj testified he was lured into the drug scheme with the promise of a free holiday to Bali. He was quoted in news reports as saying his life was threatened, as well as his family's, if he refused to cooperate with the heroin smuggling operation. Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen . Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen from Brisbane, who is now 31, was one of four drug couriers in the case. He was found in a hotel room on Bali's Kuta Beach with a small amount of heroin and drug paraphernalia. Si Yi Chen and Matthew Norman . The others are Si Yi Chen, 30 and Matthew Norman, 28, both from Sydney.

In a statement Tuesday, the guard/forward for the Atlanta Hawks described his injury as \"significant,\" and said it \"was caused by the police.\" Sefolosha suffered a fractured fibula and ligament damage when he and teammate Pero Antic were arrested near the scene of the stabbing of Indiana Pacers forward Chris Copeland and two other women early April 8. Police said Sefolosha and Antic were not involved in the stabbing incident, but they were charged with misdemeanors, including disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration. TMZ Sports released video last week that shows a group of police officers arresting the 6-foot-7 Sefolosha and taking him to the ground. It also shows an officer within that group getting out a baton and extending it near him, but what may have caused the injury is not clear in the video. Sefolosha appears to be limping as he is led away by officers. New York Police Department Sgt. Daniel Doody said Wednesday that the matter is being reviewed by the Internal Affairs Bureau and would not comment further. Internal Affairs had no comment. Sefolosha did not specify his injury in his statement Tuesday, but the Hawks said last week that he has a fractured fibula and ligament damage, will undergo surgery and will miss the rest of the season, including the playoffs, which begin this weekend. The Hawks enter as the top seed in the NBA's Eastern Conference. Sefolosha, who turns 31 in May, is in his ninth NBA season and his first with the Hawks. He averaged 5.3 points per game this season. \"I am extremely disappointed that I will not be able to join my teammates on the court during the playoffs and apologize to them for any distraction this incident has caused,\" Sefolosha said in his statement. \"I will be cheering for them every step of the way and will be diligent in my rehabilitation. \"On advice of counsel, I hope you can appreciate that I cannot discuss the facts of the case.

It has been 42 days since the last known case of B3 strain of measles, the equivalent of two successive incubation periods, said Dr. Karen Smith, director of the health department. The department said in its latest update that 131 people came down with the B3 strain, and five who had a different genotype than the outbreak strain. Of the 131 cases, the state was able to obtain the vaccination status for 81 patients. Of the 81, 70% were unvaccinated. \"Prompt investigation of cases, interviewing hundreds of contacts of infected people, vaccinating hundreds of at risk people, and increasing awareness among health care providers about measles, helped to control this outbreak,\" Smith said.

Two patients with rashes have been identified in April, but they have a different measles genotype. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on its website that 19 different strains have been discovered since 1990. Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease. It causes fever, red and sore eyes, runny nose, cough and a rash. It can cause deadly health complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis.

+{"article": "(CNN)This is a difficult but necessary thing to say: Incidents of police-involved killings and assaults on unarmed African-Americans are unlikely to end soon. That's partly because police brutality is neither new nor reflective of a \"moment.\" And it's also because we have not yet shown the resolve needed to end it. This is a reality we must face if we are going to reverse course from what has become a national crisis. The peaceful protests that were followed by outbreaks of violence in Baltimore this week have underscored the danger of ignoring the crisis -- as frustration and impatience with the status quo boils over. The violent response of police officers to unarmed African-Americans is a decades-long phenomenon that has too often been dismissed as \"race card\" politics and black grievance. But this year's spate of killings and assaults, from Ferguson, Missouri, to North Charleston, South Carolina, to most recently Baltimore, are part of a deadly continuum of conduct that has created a well of resentment and anger in the African-American community. So what makes now different? The advent of cell phone cameras and social media has for the first time allowed average citizens to document police brutality routinely and to disseminate these images nationally. As a result, it is no longer possible for officials and commentators to downplay or deny the existence of police brutality against unarmed African-Americans as has happened in the past. To call this ugly and unrelenting wave of police violence against unarmed African-Americans a national crisis is not an exaggeration -- we are losing the confidence of a generation of young people who no longer believe in the legitimacy or credibility of our law enforcement and the justice system that underpins it. A true democracy draws its strength from the confidence of its citizens in the bedrock institutions. The loss of that confidence threatens the very foundation of our legal system. How do we face this crisis? First, we must recognize that there are no quick fixes. The culture of policing in cities such as New York and Baltimore has developed over decades. Policing is a job passed down through families in which law enforcement norms and narratives are shared around the dinner table as much as in the station house. To subvert that culture will require vigorous, targeted and consistent training. That training must include a focus on managing implicit bias, encounters with the mentally ill and how best to de-escalate encounters with members of the community, especially young people. Training must be accompanied by supervision and accountability for officers who fail to conform their behavior to training principles. President Barack Obama is right when he reminds us that policing, like education, is a function of state and local government. And it's true that his options are limited. And yet the federal government has proven to be quite adept at influencing education policy in states and cities. How? By conditioning federal funds on compliance with federal standards.

The other will receive this award in recognition of the stand he took when he broke with his party and sacrificed his political career to support responsible action to combat climate change. We share an unwavering belief that the United States must lead the world on climate change and seize opportunities for unity, growth and progress.

In 1962, President Kennedy, speaking at Rice University, described the space program that he had first announced when he asked the Congress to support his ambitious goal of landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade. Opening his speech, Kennedy stated simply the effect of man's scientific pursuit: \"The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.\" This curious paradox holds true today. Our knowledge of the causes and dangers of climate change has increased even as our ignorance of its ramifications has unfolded. Many of our elected representatives persist in inaction and complacency by arguing that individual nations are powerless to solve the problem because every nation is culpable. Others choose to dispute the science, deny the evidence, and avoid the question of how to solve the problem. But climate change is only scary if we choose to sit, wait and do nothing about it. President Kennedy encountered the same dilemma: \"It is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait. But ... this country of the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them.\" We need not be frightened today. Climate change is a chance for all of us to add a chapter to the story of American triumph and human progress. It is a moment for this generation to display the very qualities we attribute to the American political heroes of earlier times, who left the world a better place for us. Courage of this scale will come from a people who are told that they can do great things by leaders who believe that their people are capable of great things. We believe that America will see opportunity in the danger of climate change just like we saw benefits on Earth from travel in space. Kennedy told the crowd at Rice that the pursuit of a goal that seemed impossible was valuable precisely because it would be so hard to accomplish. \"We choose to go to the moon not because it is easy but because it is hard,\" he said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Dan Swangard knows what death looks like. As a physician, he has seen patients die in hospitals, hooked to morphine drips and overcome with anxiety. He has watched dying drag on for weeks or months as terrified relatives stand by helplessly. Recently, however, his thoughts about how seriously ill people die have become personal. Swangard was diagnosed in 2013 with a rare form of metastatic cancer. To remove the cancer, surgeons took out parts of his pancreas and liver, as well as his entire spleen and gallbladder. The operation was successful but Swangard, 48, knows there's a strong chance the disease will return. And if he gets to a point where there's nothing more medicine can do, he wants to be able to control when and how his life ends. \"It's very real for me,\" said Swangard, who lives in Bolinas, Calif. \"This could be my own issue a year from now.\" That's one of the reasons Swangard joined a California lawsuit last month seeking to let doctors prescribe lethal medications to certain patients who want to hasten death. If he were given only months to live, Swangard said, he can't say for certain whether he would take them. \"But I want to be able to make that choice,\" he said. The right-to-die movement has gained renewed momentum in California and around the nation following the highly publicized death of an East Bay woman with brain cancer. Brittany Maynard, 29, moved to Oregon to take advantage of its \"Death with Dignity\" law and died in November after taking a fatal dose of barbiturates prescribed by her doctor. The California lawsuit asks the court to protect physicians from liability if they prescribe lethal medications to patients who are both terminally ill and mentally competent to decide their fate. The lawsuit argues that while it is against the law in California for anyone to assist in another's suicide, these cases are not suicides. Rather, the suit argues, they are choices by a dying person on how his or her life should end and decisions about one's own body protected under the state constitution. Separately, two California state senators have proposed a bill that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal medication to certain terminally ill adults. Three states -- Oregon, Washington and Vermont -- already have laws allowing physician-assisted deaths. Courts in New Mexico and Montana also have ruled that aid in dying is legal, and a suit was also recently filed in New York. Legislation is pending in several other states. Kathryn Tucker, an attorney on several of the court cases, is also spearheading the California lawsuit. This time, she and her legal team decided to include among the plaintiffs two doctors with life-threatening illnesses, Swangard and a retired San Francisco obstetrician.

Now, Copenhagen residents can live in a new neighborhood set to emerge on the historic grounds of the famous beer-maker in the heart of Danish capital. The area in question -- aptly named Carlsberg City -- has been home to the famous Carlsberg brewery since 1847, and with it a big slice of Danish cultural history. But the brewery has moved on and the future is moving in. Amidst the district's historic treasure trove of protected architectural buildings will be some 600,000 square meters (6.4 million sq ft) of residential, business, sporting, cultural, and educational space. Prices range from just below Copenhagen's average $5,000 per square meter to about $12,000 -- well below other major European cities. Modeled after intimate medieval towns, Carlsberg City won \"Best Master Plan\" at the World Architecture Festival in 2009. The project has since attracted interest from all over the world. \"Scandinavia has over the past years been attractive to foreign investors,\" said Claus Lonborg, CEO of Copenhagen Capacity, a non-profit with the aim of growing business in the Danish capital. He added that \"given the number of infrastructure and construction developments taking place in the greater Copenhagen area now, we really see an increasing demand and interest.\" While the first apartments in Carlsberg City went up for sale in March, the area has been alive for years. Investors invited temporary renters into old buildings during the construction phase which began shortly after the 2008 financial crisis hit. The area has since been home to skateboarders, bikers, modern dancers, cafes, the national football team for homeless people and a climbing forest.

All but her cousin survived -- a high success rate considering that at the time, about 70% of Ebola patients were dying in Liberia.

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)The flight voice recorder aboard Germanwings Flight 9525 reportedly captured blaring cockpit alarms, warning co-pilot Andreas Lubitz to \"pull up\" and that \"terrain\" was ahead. But that was not enough to stop the aircraft from slamming into the French Alps. With reports that Lubitz apparently ignored those warnings, there are new calls from aviation experts to develop and deploy enhanced crash avoidance software that could take control of an aircraft away from a pilot and steer the plane to a safe altitude. The technology would work in a fashion similar to crash avoidance technology already used in automobiles. If a pilot is incapacitated or ignores audible warnings, the plane's flight guidance software could take over and plot a course to a safe altitude\u200e. In cars, these avoidance systems sometimes deploy brakes or slow a car down to a safer speed, and help maintain safe distances from other vehicles. The idea is not new. In fact, more than 10 years ago, following 9/11, Airbus, the manufacturer of the doomed aircraft, was working to d\u200eevelop aircraft crash avoidance software with tech giant Honeywell -- in part to prevent jetliners from being flown into large buildings or mountains. But the project was ultimately scrapped. A spokesperson for Honeywell says the company has no plans to revive the project unless federal regulators demand it be put into cockpits or airlines ask for it. So far that has not happened. CNN also asked Airbus about the project, but the company had no comment. Former Department of Transportation Inspector General Mary Schiavo says pilots, regulators and the traveling public have, so far, not bought into claims that computers can do it better. \"For any situation where you are relieving the pilot's control of their plane, there has been pushback not only from the pilots, but from airlines. There are some sectors that believe that ultimately the pilot must maintain overall control of the plane and that that is your best bet for a safe flight.\" However, she adds, in the case of the Germanwings crash, \"this technology, I believe, would have saved the flight.

+{"article": "(CNN)ISIS claimed responsibility for a suicide car bomb attack Friday near the U.S. Consulate in the Kurdish Iraqi city of Irbil, according to several Twitter accounts linked to the terror group. The U.S. Consulate was the target of the attack, ISIS said. At least four people were killed and 18 injured, police said. All U.S. Consulate personnel were safe and accounted for following the explosion, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said. Irbil is the capital of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government. Police said the incident began with an explosion of a small improvised bomb in the area. After that blast, a car moved in the direction of the consulate. Security personnel fired at the car, which exploded but did not reach the consulate, a police official said. It appeared that people inside the car detonated explosives that the vehicle was carrying, according to the police official. A separate official, B.G. Hazhar Ismail, said three civilians were killed and five others were injured. Ismail is a spokesman for the Peshmerga, the force that defends Iraq's Kurdish region. The blast sent a huge fireball into the sky on a street parallel to the consulate. Dark smoke filled the air, and gunfire was heard intermittently for the next hour. One witness said he saw attackers in a gunbattle with consulate security and police. Helicopters circled the neighborhood where the blast occurred, and a loudspeaker at the consulate building warned people to stay indoors and away from windows. In addition to the U.S. Consulate, the blast occurred immediately across the street from a strip of bars, cafes and shops popular with expats and consulate employees. The State Department thanked the response by the Kurdish government and will investigate the bombing together with them. \"The United States will continue to stand with the people of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and all Iraqis as we work together in confronting these terrorist acts and towards our shared goal of degrading and defeating (ISIS),\" the department said in a statement.

+{"article": "(CNN)One of Tokyo's most prominent districts has taken a small, but potentially significant step to recognizing same-sex unions in Japan. The government of Shibuya ward, one of the capital's most famous shopping and trendy entertainment districts, passed ordinance on Wednesday paving the way for \"partnership certificates\" for same-sex couples, allowing them some of the rights of married heterosexual couples. Same-sex partners who are registered with the district's ward office will be able to hold visitation rights in hospitals and co-sign tenancy agreements. Other advantages that heterosexual married couples enjoy, such as joint filing of taxes, are controlled by the federal government and are outside the remit of individual municipalities. The measure was proposed in February by Shibuya's mayor, Toshitake Kuwahara. While the certificates will not be issued until later in the summer and are not legally binding, proponents of marriage equality in socially conservative Japan say that the ward's decision is a step in the right direction. \"It is not a marriage license and advantages will be limited but still better than nothing,\" Gon Matsunaka, a gay rights activist, told CNN. While Shibuya's decision does not yet equate to heterosexual marriage, the hope is that the move will be the beginnings of promoting marriage equality for gay communities. \"What is important for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community in Shibuya is the ruling will make us visible in society,\" Matsunaka said . \"It could be a strong driver for Shibuya citizens to learn and know what kind of problems LGBT people are facing.\" Taiga Ishikawa, Tokyo councillor and the first male gay local assembly member in Japan, told CNN the ordinance was a \"big first step for the protection of human rights.\" He called the decision \"happy\" but said that it must go alongside education about alternative lifestyles. He said that the most important part of today's announcement is that it \"should be actually put into practice, as should education for understanding (LGBT individuals) especially they suffer as they find out their sexuality when they are young.\" Neighboring Setagaya ward has indicated that it would look into following Shibuya's lead. However, former councilor Ishikawa cautioned against taking the movement's momentum for granted. \"To realize equal rights for gay couples, a national law has to be made,\" he said. While outright discrimination against the LGBT community is rare in Japan, its effects can be hidden and gay people often find themselves at a disadvantage. Many hide their sexuality from their employers, co-workers, families and friends. But the tide may be turning. A recent poll found that a slight majority at 52.4% oppose gay marriage, but support amongst young adults in their 20s and 30s is as high as 70%. An editorial in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, which commissioned the poll, welcomed the Shibuya decision, calling it \"a bold and important step forward.\" Only traditional marriages are recognized under Japan's constitution, but the wording is vague enough to open it to interpretation, according to Mari Miura, a professor of gender and politics at Sophia University in Tokyo. \"The constitution does not rule", "summary": "Shibuya ward in Tokyo passes an ordinance that gives same-sex couples some of the rights of married heterosexual couples .

The chase, which took farmers and police officers from five jurisdictions through forests and over the Hudson River, ended with \"snipers\" from the animals' farm gunning down the buffalo from the side of the road, according to Lt. Thomas Heffernan of the Bethlehem Police Department. \"It was turning into the wild, wild, West,\" Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told reporters on Friday. \"It was time to put an end to it.\" Heffernan described the hectic last moments of the chase: . \"They were setting up a perimeter around the animals in the secluded area, they got spooked and they charged through our guys,\" Heffernan said.

New York State Police helicopters were called in and nearby school districts were alerted to keep all students inside, Heffernan said. Four men from GEM Farms in Schodack, New York, from where the buffalo escaped, were on the scene by a ravine in Coeymans, New York, to kill the animals, a decision Heffernan said wasn't made lightly, but that was necessary.

On Tuesday, a spokesman with Save the Children told CNN the group fears 400 migrants could be missing, citing testimony from survivors who said their ship carrying 550 people capsized in the Mediterranean Sea about 80 miles off the Libyan coast. The Italian coast guard, however, told CNN that while it is taking the report seriously, it cannot confirm such an incident and has not yet found evidence at sea to indicate a migrant boat carrying approximately 550 has capsized with 145 rescued. An operation that included boats and planes did not find any survivors, nor bodies, nor any evidence to indicate a particular boat capsized, Coast Guard official Filippo Marini said. There has been a recent upsurge in migrant boats crossing the Mediterranean into Italy and an increase in rescues performed by the Italian Coast Guard to aid migrant boats.

+{"article": "Los Angeles (CNN)It's more than just one state's internal problem. The historic California drought hurts the rest of the union, too. That's because California is a breadbasket to the nation, growing more than a third of its vegetables and nearly two-thirds of its fruits and nuts. Here's why we should heed the ongoing drought in the most populous state, a slowly expanding natural disaster now in its fourth year that this week prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to announce a mandatory 25% cutback in water consumption in all cities. In 2014, one expert predicted consumers would pay more for some groceries because of the California drought. He was often right, according to statistics gathered by Timothy Richards, agribusiness professor at Arizona State University. Prices rose last year for these items on your kitchen table: . \u2022 Berries rose in price by about 80 cents per clamshell to $3.88 . \u2022 Broccoli by 11 cents per pound to $1.89. \u2022 Grapes by 64 cents a pound to $3.06 . \u2022 Melons by 24 cents a pound to $1.23. \u2022 Packaged salad by 23 cents a bag to $2.91. \u2022 Peppers by 26 cents a pound to $2.39. Though fruits and vegetable prices fell in February, overall prices are expected to rise this year, because of inflation, U.S. Department of Agriculture economist Annemarie Kuhns said. Fresh fruit prices are projected to rise between 2.5% and 3.5%, and vegetables between 2% and 3%, close to historical average increases, Kuhns said. Whether the California drought will affect food prices again this year is unknown, thanks to a strong dollar. The greenback's strength allows producers to import crops that may be withering under the absence of West Coast rain or other misfortunes elsewhere in the nation, Kuhns said. Moreover, the drop in oil prices also eases the cost of transporting food from California to the other 49 states, she said. What economists don't know yet is whether farmers will plant fewer crops because of the drought. Those decisions are now being made in the field and could boost supermarket prices, she said. \"The drought in California does have the potential to impact the price we pay for fresh fruit and fresh vegetables and dairy and fresh eggs we pay at the counter,\" Kuhns said. \"We are not sure what the exact impact will be.\" The reality is there's a major drought throughout the West and Southwest. While not as bad as California, Texas and Oklahoma are also seeing extreme and exceptional drought -- the two worst categories -- in several parts of their states, the U.S. Drought Monitor said this week. Overall, the Western drought affects more than 52 million people, the monitor says. As a result, consumers paid a whopping extra 12.1% for beef and veal in 2014, the USDA reports. Straining under a drought that began in 2012, ranchers in Texas and Oklahoma last year saw smaller grazing pastures, paid more for feed, and experienced difficulties accessing water to cool their cattle. So the cattlemen began culling their herds, Kuhns said. This year's beef and veal", "summary": "Americans paid more for some fruits and vegetables last year because of the drought .

As a co-owner of Charmington's, a cafe in the intersection of three major Baltimore neighborhoods, Rothschild knew that the cafe and its workers needed to support the city after all the unrest. \"There was some fear, but it was really mixed in with an overwhelming sense that everyone here needs help,\" she said. As protests erupt nationwide after the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who suffered a severe spinal cord injury while in police custody, some local businesses in Baltimore are banding together to show their support for the city, while others are left to rebuild or repair after Monday's riot. Late Monday evening over email, Rothschild and other workers from Charmington's decided that the cafe would remain closed on Tuesday so that staff members could spend the day in the community to help clean up or peacefully protest. 45 CVS workers still getting paid after riots shut down stores . The following morning, they posted a sign on the door telling patrons they were closed to partake in community action (The cafe was not in Monday's protest zone). \"We shut down not out of fear, but for solidarity,\" Rothschild said. It was solidarity for Baltimore, for the \"Black Lives Matter\" movement and for the local businesses that were destroyed during the rioting, the five-year Baltimore resident explained. With a warm, steaming crock pot of chicken and a cooler of ice water, Charmington's staff member Mike Dobson made his way down to the center of the rallying Tuesday and set up a stand. It was one of a handful of businesses passing out free food and water to protesters. The movement in Baltimore is personal for Dobson. The 23-year-old has been out on the streets peacefully demonstrating and offering free food every day since protests first started. \"I have witnessed police brutality. I was roughed up by police before. It is something you don't have to look very far to witness in West Baltimore,\" he said. The decision for Charmington's to close temporarily -- it has since reopened -- was meaningful, Dobson said. \"Our shop has been a part of the community since it opened, and we thought it was important to be a part of the community especially now.\" The feeling on Baltimore's streets has changed dramatically over the past few days. It's now peaceful and somewhat celebratory, Dobson said. \"There have been protests, but there have also been celebrations of all us together, and you can't have a celebration without food,\" he said. Not all businesses fared well. Some suffered major losses. Trevira London's store London Couture Boutique on Fleet Street was ransacked Monday.

+{"article": "(CNN)Given that most people couldn't tell the difference between a copyright and a trademark, it usually takes something controversial, such as the Washington Redskins' refusal to change their name, to get people interested in trademark law. This week, a higher court scrutinized a lesser-known trademark -- when the band The Slants sought to protect its name. The Slants are five Asian-American musicians from Portland, Oregon, who pay homage to the '80s on stage -- and homage to their heritage in an ironic way. \"We want to take on stereotypes that people have about us, like the slanted eyes, and own them,\" Simon Shiao Tam, the band's front-man, said. In other words, the group adopted the Lenny Bruce philosophy of repeating an insulting term until it doesn't mean anything anymore. To The Slants, \"slant\" isn't an insult, it is empowering. And more power to them. Unfortunately, a bureaucrat at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office decided that \"Slant\" was disparaging to Asians, and denied them a trademark registration under the despised (by me, anyhow) Section 2(a) of the trademark act. This is the section that lets the government deny trademark protection to a mark that is \"immoral,\" \"scandalous\" or \"disparaging.\" In this case, the latter. But wait a minute. This isn't billionaire Dan Snyder referring to other people as \"Redskins.\" In L'affair Redskins, it is the disparaged group, Native Americans, who are complaining -- not the government deciding on its own that it knows best. In the Slants' case, these are Asian guys who say \"it doesn't bother us, so why should it bother you?\" And it isn't as if any Asian American groups got involved. This is not the first time that someone has \"taken back\" a marginalizing term in a trademark fight. About 10 years ago, the motorcycle club \"Dykes on Bikes\" was similarly rebuffed, and they fought back and won the right to protect their mark. They made similar arguments that resonated: If they wanted to call themselves \"Dykes on Bikes,\" then what place does the government have in judging that decision? In another decision, the trademark office initially denied a registration for Buddha Beachwear on the grounds that Buddhists would find it disparaging. But on reconsideration, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board held that it should go forward stating it is \"imperative that the board be careful to avoid interposing its own judgment for that of Buddhists.\" So why aren't the Slants given the same privileges as Dykes on Bikes or Buddha Beachwear? It is largely a sign of the times. We find ourselves mired deeper and deeper in a society where people actually get excited to take offense at virtually anything. Given the lingering controversy over the Redskins' trademark, our five friends from Oregon didn't stand a chance. This decision offends me. For starters, by trying to protect Asians from racism, the court issued a disturbingly racist decision based on the fact that these were, in fact, Asians who intended their band name to invoke their ethnicity.

+{"article": "(CNN)The number of new HIV infections in a rural Indiana county has grown, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The institute is working with state health leaders to control the \"severe outbreak,\" which has spread among users of a prescription opioid called Opana. The outbreak has been ongoing since mid-December. As of Friday, 142 people have tested positive for HIV, with 136 confirmed cases and six more with preliminary positive test results, all in rural Scott and Jackson counties. This is a huge number of cases for an area that has a population of only a few thousand people. The CDC and state health leaders held a news conference Friday to talk about the new numbers and about the growing threat of the spread of disease from IV drug use, especially in isolated rural areas that have sparse health resources. Scott County, the epicenter of the outbreak, has only one doctor who deals with infectious disease, but the doctor is not an HIV specialist, the State Department of Health said. Since the rampant HIV outbreak was first noticed in mid-December, the state has tried to flood the area with additional resources. Indiana declared a public health emergency in that county in March. Indiana University has sent health volunteers to provide a clinic, open once a week to help treat people and test them for HIV. These workers are also going door to door to try to educate the population about the danger of sharing needles. So far, 33 patients have visited the temporary clinic, which is starting to see patients return to seek treatment. It's no coincidence that many of the cases of the newly infected there are younger people \"who weren't around in the '80s and '90s when HIV was at its peak,\" Dr. Jonathan Mermin said. In the 1980s, doctors were seeing an average of 35,000 new HIV infections among IV drug users, and that figure has been down 90% nationally, he said. So people aren't as aware about the danger of sharing needles. Mermin is the director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. Education will be key, he emphasized. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence also signed a 30-day executive order that allows for a needle exchange. It was set to expire Friday, but he extended the order another 30 days Tuesday. Needle exchanges have been scientifically shown to reduce new infections. The state is also offering job services to people in the area. Dr. Joan Duwve, the chief medical consultant with the Indiana State Department of Health, spoke at length about how communities all along the Ohio River in her state and in Kentucky and West Virginia have seen a huge problem with prescription drug abuse, particularly in areas where there \"is not a lot to do.\" Many family members, across generations, live in the same house and will use the drugs together as \"a community activity,\" Duwve said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Feeling so happy you just can't stand it? You might want to pop some acetaminophen. A new study has found that acetaminophen, the main ingredient in Tylenol, most forms of Midol and more than 600 other medicines, reduces not only pain but pleasure, as well. The authors of the study, which was published this week in Psychological Science, say that it was already known that acetaminophen blunted psychological pain. But their new research led them to the conclusion that it also blunted joy -- in other words, that it narrowed the range of feelings experienced. \"This means that using Tylenol or similar products might have broader consequences than previously thought,\" said Geoffrey Durso, a doctoral student in social psychology at Ohio State University and the lead author of the study. \"Rather than just being a pain reliever, acetaminophen can be seen as an all-purpose emotion reliever.\" The researchers tested their thesis by showing 82 college students 40 photographs -- some of highly pleasant images, such as children with kittens, and some of highly unpleasant images, such as children who were malnourished. Half of the participants in the study were given \"an acute dose\" of acetaminophen -- 1,000 milligrams -- and the other half were given a placebo with the same appearance. The subjects were then asked to rate the photos according to how unpleasant or pleasant they were. Those who took the acetaminophen rated all the photos less extremely than those who took the placebo. \"In other words, positive photos were not seen as positively under the influence of acetaminophen and negative photos were not seen as negatively,\" the authors reported. The researchers followed up by testing a group of 85 people to see whether this change in judgment applied just to emotions or whether the drug blunted people's evaluation of magnitude in general. This group showed the same blunting of emotional reactions. But acetaminophen did not affect how much blue they saw in each photo. But people who participated in the study did not appear to know they were acting differently, said Baldwin Way, an assistant professor of psychology who was another of the study's authors. \"Most people probably aren't aware of how their emotions may be impacted when they take acetaminophen,\" Way said. Each week, about 23% of American adults -- or 52 million people -- use a medicine containing acetaminophen, according to the nonprofit Consumer Healthcare Products Association.

+{"article": "(CNN)The jailing of four Blackwater security guards, eight years after they killed 17 Iraqi civilians in a shooting in Baghdad, is a positive step for justice -- but is also not enough. The kind of horror represented by the Blackwater case and others like it -- from Abu Ghraib to the massacre at Haditha to CIA waterboarding -- may be largely absent from public memory in the West these days, but it is being used by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to support its sectarian narrative. In its propaganda, ISIS has been using Abu Ghraib and other cases of Western abuse to legitimize its current actions in Iraq as the latest episodes in over a decade of constant \"Sunni resistance\" to \"American aggression\" and to \"Shiite betrayal\"\u2014as phrased in an ISIS publication from late 2014 titled \"The Revived Caliphate,\" which chronicles the rise of ISIS since 2003. As the Iraqi government today struggles to regain the support of Sunnis in its fight against ISIS -- or even renew intra-Sunni trust -- this invocation of American transgressions by ISIS should be a sobering reminder of the importance of good governance in the pursuit of a solution to the unrest in Iraq. The lack of accountability in the aftermath of the American intervention in Iraq not only paved the way for abuses like Abu Ghraib and Blackwater, it also fuelled sectarian tension in the country -- and today ISIS is reaping the benefits. The U.S. poured money into Iraq after the 2003 invasion, but it did not make this support contingent upon a fair distribution of power and resources by the Iraqi government. This enabled the Shiite-dominated government of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to discriminate against the Sunni community. The United States was also sloppy in relying on private security firms like Blackwater without implementing rigorous measures to regulate their behavior. It also turned a blind eye to the way its own troops were treating Iraqis. All those factors contributed to a rising sense of injustice that is now being conveniently packaged by ISIS to push its own version of Iraqi history. In \"The Revived Caliphate,\" Abu Ghraib is invoked three times as the place where Iraqi Sunnis who resisted the U.S. ended up as a result of their betrayal by Shiites who collaborated with the Americans. The publication first recounts attacks on Abu Ghraib at the height of the American intervention by al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) -- ISIS' predecessor -- to free imprisoned \"Sunnis\" who had been detained by the Americans. It then presents the Sahwa (Awakening) of 2007 -- when Sunni tribes collaborated with the U.S. to fight AQI -- as a case of intra-Sunni resentment that led the tribes to hand over AQI members \"to the Americans, where they were put through severe torture in the likes of the prisons of Abu Ghraib,\" according to the publication.

+{"article": "(CNN)The American Pharmacists Association is discouraging its members from participating in executions. On Monday, the group voted at its annual meeting to adopt a ban as an official policy, stating that \"such activities are fundamentally contrary to the role of pharmacists as healthcare providers.\" This bolsters the association's previous positions to oppose the use of the term \"drug\" for chemicals used in lethal injection and to oppose laws that require or prohibit pharmacists from participation in lethal injection cases. The group acted this week because of increased public attention on lethal injection, said Michelle Spinnler, spokeswoman for the American Pharmacists Association. That spotlight includes a January Supreme Court decision to stay the execution for three death row inmates in Oklahoma. This was prompted by Clayton Lockett's execution by lethal injection nearly one year ago in which he writhed on a gurney for 43 minutes before he died from a heart attack. In Georgia last month, the execution of female death row inmate Kelly Renee Gissendaner was postponed as a precaution when the execution team checked the medications and discovered they looked cloudy. Thirty-two sates allow capital punishment, and lethal injection is still the most common method. Last month, Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert signed a law reinstating firing squads as a method of execution in cases in which lethal injection medications are not available. Of the eight inmates currently on death row in Utah, three opted for the new choice of death by firing squad. Pentobarbital is the preferred drug used for lethal injection. In Texas, the department of criminal justice told CNN in March they are running out of their supply. In July 2011, Lundbeck Inc., the manufacturer of pentobarbital, decided to no longer provide the drug to prisons for use in capital punishment. The companies that manufacture the products traditionally used in executions almost unilaterally decided to stop selling to institutions that used the products for that purpose, so states then turned to compounded preparations, Spinnler said. \"Pharmacists should not be involved in preparation of these products or involved in executions in any other way.\" she says.

+{"article": "(CNN)German police overnight thwarted a terrorist plot by a radicalized couple, a plan they suspect involved bombing a bicycle race near Frankfurt, a German terrorism researcher briefed by investigators told CNN on Thursday. German prosecutors and police said that a man and a woman had been arrested in the Frankfurt-area town of Oberursel on suspicion of planning a Boston-style attack, but the authorities did not explicitly reveal the target. The suspected target, according to Florian Flade, the terrorism researcher, was a race planned for Friday. The race loops around Eshborn and Frankfurt on May Day each year, attracting large crowds of spectators along the cycle route. Prosecutor Albrecht Schreiber said police recovered a pipe bomb ready to be used, 100 rounds of 9mm ammunition, a gun, the essential parts of a G-3 assault rifle and 3 liters of hydrogen peroxide, which becomes explosive at high concentrations and has been used in multiple terror plots in the West, including the 2005 London bombings. Earlier Thursday, Andreas Hemmes, a spokesman for the police of West Hesse, told CNN that the house and car of two individuals in Oberursel, in the forested hills west of Frankfurt, had been searched. As a result of what had been found, police had expanded their search along the L3004 road on the bike race route, Hemmes said. \"We suspect that there was a Salafist background,\" said Peter Beuth, the interior minister for Hesse, referring to ultra-fundamentalist interpretations of Islam. \"Police investigations at this stage indicate that we have thwarted an Islamist attack.\" Flade, a journalist at Die Welt and terrorism researcher who first broke the story of the police raids, told CNN that a German couple of Turkish descent -- Halil and Senay D. -- were under arrest. He said the couple had ties to radical Islamist circles in the Frankfurt area. Neither is suspected of having direct links to the leadership of a terrorist group. Last week German police observed Halil D. moving in and out of a small forest near where he was living. They suspect he was looking for a good place to hide a bomb along the bike race route, according to Flade. Flade said that according to German police documents, German police first became aware of the couple at the end of March when they went to a garden center near Frankfurt to purchase hydrogen peroxide. He said the store employee contacted police after becoming suspicious for several reasons. The first was that the woman was covered in a full veil. The second was that the couple claimed they wanted to buy hydrogen peroxide to clean their fish pond in their garden, but the amount they were ordering would have been enough to clean dozens of such ponds. Furthermore, after police thwarted a bomb plot by German extremists trained in the tribal areas of Pakistan to kill American servicemen in Germany in September 2007 with hydrogen peroxide-based bombs -- the so-called \"Sauerland\" plot -- German law had required such stores to report to police significant purchases of hydrogen peroxide.

+{"article": "(CNN)If one is to believe lawyers for Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots star had no conceivable reason to kill a man who was his friend, his future brother-in-law and a reliable purveyor of the marijuana he chain-smoked. The jury in the high-profile trial resumed deliberations Wednesday after deliberating about an hour-and-a-half on Tuesday. The way defense lawyer James Sultan laid it out for the Massachusetts jury in closing arguments earlier Tuesday, why would a young man with a $40 million contract kill semi-pro player Odin Lloyd less than a mile from his own home? Why would Hernandez leave a marijuana blunt he shared with the victim at the murder scene? Did those who Sultan described as inept and biased police officers and prosecutors simply become fixated with the former tight end with a promising future in the National Football League? \"If there was evidence of any reason Aaron would have had to murder Odin Loyd, don't you think you would have heard about it in nine weeks?\" Sultan asked the jury. \"You didn't hear it because it doesn't exist.\" The prosecution, however, portrayed Hernandez as cold, calculating and insecure -- a man who believed others should be grateful for his attention, one capable of murder for merely disrespecting him in the presence of others. Prosecutor William McCauley asked jurors: What was Hernandez talking about a day after Lloyd's bullet-riddled body was found at a Massachusetts industrial park in June 2013? \" 'My endorsements are gone,' \" Hernandez said, according to McCauley said. \"He's not talking about Odin.\" The state's largely circumstantial case wrapped up after the testimony of more than 130 witnesses and the presentation of more than 400 pieces of evidence. On Monday, Hernandez's defense gave its side of the story in less than a day. In closing arguments the next day, Sultan sought to show that prosecutors failed to prove their contention that Hernandez orchestrated the killing without a reasonable doubt. Even if they found a strong likelihood that Hernandez was involved, the lawyer said, \"That's not enough.\" Sultan tried to implicate Hernandez's co-defendants, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, who have pleaded not guilty and will be tried separately. The defense described Wallace and Ortiz as a pair of drug dealers known to become crazed while on PCP, as men capable of killing someone in drug-induced fits of rage. They're accused of killing Lloyd. \"Did he make all the right decisions? No,\" Sultan said of his client. \"He was a 23-year-old kid who witnessed something, committed by somebody he knew. He really didn't know what to do, so he put one foot in front of another. Keep in mind, he's not charged with accessory after the fact. ... He's charged with murder ... and that he did not do.\" The prosecution said Wallace and Ortiz were longtime friends of Hernandez, who had complete control of them.

The 25-year-old died in police custody 15 days ago after he was arrested on a weapons charge. His death from a severe spinal chord injury sparked widespread outrage toward the Baltimore Police Department. Gray's death in custody is the latest in a string of high profile deaths involving African-Americans and law enforcement. Many have demanded answers about what happened to Gray and his funeral drew civil rights leaders, politicians, and relatives of others who died in police custody. Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland spoke at the funeral: \"To mother Gloria and to the entire family, I want you to know we stand with you during this difficult time.\" Cummings said he \"looked at the cameras\" and reflected on the great amount of attention Gray was receiving in death: \"Did anybody recognize Freddie Gray when he was alive?\" he asked. Cummings said that Gray joined the church in 2001. He was in youth choir and was a junior usher. \"He loved church,\" Cummings said. Gray also played football. \"Did you see him?\" the representative asked. \"There are those who will tell you don't cry. I'm not going to say that,\" Cummings said. Gray also had a history of run-ins with the law. According to court documents CNN obtained, there were more than 20 criminal court cases in Maryland against Gray, and five of those cases were still active at the time of his death. The cases involve mostly drug-related charges, but there are charges from March for second-degree assault and destruction of property. Gray was due in court on a possession charge on April 24. He had been in and out of prison since 2009 for various drug cases, according to the Maryland Department of Corrections. Families United for Justice was also at the funeral. The group includes relatives of Eric Garner, who died last July after a New York City police officer put him in a chokehold. Protests erupted after a grand jury declined to indict that officer. Other members of the group include relatives of Amadou Diallo, who was fatally shot by New York police officers, and Alberta Spruill, who died of a heart attack after police threw a stun grenade into her apartment during a botched raid. The White House sent Cabinet Secretary Broderick Johnson, chair of the Obama administration's My Brother's Keeper Task Force; Heather Foster, an adviser in the White House Office of Public Engagement; and Elias Alcantara from the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. Exactly what happened to Gray remains a mystery. His family said his voice box was crushed and his neck snapped before he slipped into a coma and died.

Two African-Americans -- Ella Jones and Wesley Bell -- were elected to the Ferguson City Council on Tuesday, meaning three of the six council members are black.

Amid the rain, Ferguson opened its polls at 6 a.m. for municipal elections that traditionally have drawn very few out to vote. But today was different. This was the first city election since white police Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown last August. Since then, this St. Louis suburb of 21,000 people has gone through epic upheaval with revelations of systemic discrimination against African-Americans by law enforcement and the courts. There's widespread feeling, especially in the African-American community, that if the turnout is low, then all the protests, the investigations, the calls for change will have been in vain. St. Louis elections officials said they had no indication that turnout in Tuesday's election would be any different than other years. But among the candidates inspired to run by the events that transpired here, there was hope of seeing greater voter participation. \"That is what our democracy is about,\" said Wesley Bell, a 40-year-old lawyer and criminal justice professor who also is a part-time municipal judge in nearby Velda City. Bell is running against Lee Smith, a retired electrical plant employee, in Ward 3. That area includes Canfield Drive, where Brown was killed, and the West Florissant Avenue business corridor that felt the brunt of the protests and the vandalism. Charred, heavily damaged buildings stand as scars of Ferguson's despair and anger. Both Bell and Smith are black, And no matter the outcome, one of them will double the African-American representation on the council. Even though 70% of Ferguson's 21,000 people are black, five of the six current City Council members and the mayor are white. The council was cited along with the Ferguson Police Department, which has three black officers, as a symbol of white power in a majority black city. \"We have to get out of this law enforcement for business,\" said candidate Doyle McClellan, coordinator of the computer network security program at Lewis and Clark Community College.

+{"article": "(CNN)In case you needed a reminder that President Barack Obama isn't running for office again, he just alienated not only Republicans, who have largely resented him from day one, but the progressive base of Democratic voters. Obama has argued with the progressive potentate Elizabeth Warren, calling her \"wrong\" on trade policy. The Massachusetts senator is the same potentate to whom Hillary Clinton has been religiously prostrating. What everyone does next will be critical for the 2016 elections and the future of Democratic politics. Warren has publicly criticized so-called \"fast track\" trade authority that would allow the White House to negotiate massive, multination trade deals with little congressional oversight. The authority would pave the way for trade pacts such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is modeled on the North American Free Trade Agreement, and has killed 700,000 American jobs and drove wages down in the United States while simultaneously decimating Mexican agriculture and small businesses. Aspects of the TPP deal would provide incentives for off-shoring jobs to low-wage countries, imposing limits on government regulations around food safety and the environment, and create mechanisms for multinational corporations to challenge any domestic laws they simply don't like. In December, Warren wrote a letter signed by several other Democrats to U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman raising concerns about the TPP. The letter warned that the TPP could erode safeguards that have been put in place to \"prevent future financial crises.\" \"We cannot afford a trade deal that undermines the government's ability to protect the American economy,\" Warren wrote. At a town hall with MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Tuesday, President Obama said, \"I love Elizabeth. We're allies on a whole host of issues. But she's wrong on this.\" Obama added, \"When you hear folks make a lot of suggestions about how bad this trade deal is, when you dig into the facts, they are wrong.\" But \"I'm right and she's wrong\" doesn't exactly come off as a thoughtful, let alone respectful, response to the policy critiques of one of the most trusted economic justice leaders in the Democratic Party today. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is trying to walk a fine line somewhere in the middle. Clinton has recently courted Warren's support while forcefully repeating the rhetoric of populism. But according to a report by The New York Times, Clinton's staff is at pains to suggest that Clinton has always been a populist as opposed to merely trying to now co-opt a current trend. Yet it becomes harder to paint Clinton as the \"original Elizabeth Warren\" each time she equivocates on trade policy and the TPP. In a 2012 speech as secretary of state, Clinton praised the TPP as \"the gold standard in trade agreements to open free, transparent, fair trade, the kind of environment that has the rule of law and a level playing field.\" But now, as she campaigns for president facing a Democratic electorate divided over the deal, Clinton is sounding more critical. \"Any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security,\" Clinton said this week.

+{"article": "(CNN)Tuesday is Equal Pay Day, the fictitious holiday marked by progressive women's groups as the point in the year women would have to work to make up for \"lost\" wages as a result of the so-called wage gap. In the wake of Hillary Clinton's presidential announcement, the \"holiday\" has special meaning. Clinton's election will no doubt center on women voters, and the Democratic women's agenda centers on pay equity and fairness in the workplace. Here's the thing: That 77-cent wage gap statistic is grossly overstated. It's a comparison of averages -- comparing full-time working women with full-time working men -- that doesn't control for any of the important factors that go into determining one's salary such as education, profession, title, time spent in the workforce and time spent in the office each day, to name a few. When we do control for these variables, a much smaller wage gap persists of about 4-6 cents, some of which may be the result of gender discrimination, but also is likely a function of women's choices and different behavior, such as not negotiating as often as men do -- factors for which economists simply can't control.

I frequently reference my own experience as a working mom with young children as an example of someone who not only made the \"mistake\" of majoring in history but then pursued a career in the nonprofit political world -- not exactly a winning combination if a high salary is the ultimate goal.

Because for many on the right the midterm election victories signaled that the \"war on women\" narrative was over.

But women voters are valuable, and Equal Pay Day ought to be a reminder that Democrats aren't ready to surrender. Let's remember a 5-point national gender gap still remains in the Democrats' favor. Bottom line: The \"war on women\" narrative hasn't been turned off -- it's simply shifted gears. And with the presidential election season just revving up, we can expect to see the \"war on women\" focus turn to the workplace, where Democrats will claim women are paid unfairly, not given the paid leave benefits they deserve and not given the child care support they demand.

Our thoughts and prayers, and that of the whole Nigerian nation, are with you today.\" The girls were abducted on the night of April 14-15, 2014, in the town of Chibok, in northeastern Nigeria, about a two-hour drive from the border with Cameroon. The Government Girls Secondary School had been closed for a month because of the danger posed by Boko Haram militants, who are opposed to Western education, particularly for girls. But students from several schools had been called in to take a final exam in physics. The militants stormed the school, arriving in a convoy of trucks and buses and engaging in a gun battle with school security guards. Then they forced the girls from their dormitories, loaded them into trucks and drove them into the forest. Most have never been seen since, except in a photograph in which they sat on the ground in a semi-circle, clad in Islamic dress. They were between 16 and 18 years old. Police said the militants kidnapped 276 girls in all. About 50 managed to escape soon after they were abducted. Those who did not, it is feared, may have been raped, brutalized, enslaved and forced to convert to Islam. Their parents were stricken with grief. The world was appalled. On Twitter, a hashtag began trending and spread around the world: #BringBackOurGirls. On Tuesday, Malala Yousafzai, the 17-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the face for speaking out in favor of girls' education, sent a message to the kidnapped girls. \"I am one of the millions of people around the world who keep you and your families foremost in our thoughts and prayers,\" she wrote. \"We cannot imagine the full extent of the horrors you have endured. But please know this: We will never forget you.\" One year later, a few things have changed. Each of the missing girls has had a birthday in captivity. Each is now a year older. Nigeria's current president, Goodluck Jonathan, was defeated in his campaign for re-election, in part, it is thought, because he failed to effectively combat Boko Haram. Buhari, the incoming president, has pledged an aggressive effort to wipe out the group. But much remains unchanged, as well. Boko Haram still controls swathes of northeastern Nigeria. According to UNICEF, 800,000 children have been forced to flee their homes because of the conflict between the Nigerian military, civilian self-defense groups, and Boko Haram.

The main highway that heads east out of Kathmandu shows massive cracks, the tarmac torn apart by the force of Saturday's huge tremor. One lane is bisected by gaping, half-meter (1.5 feet) fissures. They've been filled in with rubble and dirt, allowing passage for those desperate citizens to reach their families in outlying districts. It takes an age, though, picking our way along damaged roads to a small village community, Ravi Opi. It is only 30 kilometers (20 miles) east of Kathmandu but the journey takes almost two hours -- and the travel times likely to be compounded the farther out from the city people go. The community is off the main highway, down a dirt track that quickly finds itself winding through forested slopes and terraced fields. They farm corn here, and millet, and vegetables. Compared to the capital, and the regions west of Kathmandu and closer to the epicenter, the people here were relatively lucky. Still, passing through villages it's clear that damage has been suffered. In Ravi Opi a village official walks quickly by, telling us over his shoulder that 90% of the houses are currently uninhabitable. Some are still standing, but seem precarious and the residents are too scared of aftershocks to move back inside. Patchy reports have filtered through of entire villages leveled by the quake or engulfed by landslides. Maili Tamang, 62, is alive, but surveys the desolation the quake has wreaked on her life. We find her sitting as close as she can to the ruins of the house that she built with her late husband. She's petite and frail but hardened by life. Her leg, bandaged and suppurating, is stretched out in front of her. She periodically flicks at the flies that have settled on the blood- and pus-soaked dressing. \"I just want to cry, all I feel is hurt \" she says, showing us where she was the moment the earthquake struck. Tamang's house was one of the bigger ones in this region, a rare two-story structure. She and her husband built it together, a lifetime ago. He died years ago, but her extended family lived here with her until Saturday. She, along with her daughter-in-law were indoors when the quake struck, and she was lucky to make it out onto a small wooden balcony. Another tremor brought this down and she had to extricate herself from the rubble and crawl up an embankment. The younger woman, trapped in the wreckage after the roof fell in on her, eventually clawed her way out.

+{"article": "(CNN)For many Girl Scout troops it is officially cookie season. I feel guilty saying no to the sweet, enthusiastic girls standing outside my grocery store who use their smiles and newly practiced sales pitches to ask how many boxes I'd like to order. After all, the organization is dedicated to enhancing girls' character and confidence. And I have to admit that the Samoas (now called \"Caramel deLites\") are delicious. But as a physician who is passionate about health promotion, I politely tell the girls, \"No, thanks.\" I am concerned that every bite and every sale not only delivers an unhealthy snack, but also a dangerous nutrition message. And I'm surprised that more doctors aren't speaking up about this. Thin Mints, the most popular cookie, contains refined white flour, sugar, partially hydrogenated oil, and high fructose corn syrup. The first ingredient in those caramel deLites is sugar, but they also contain corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, for a total of 6 grams of sugar per cookie. That's a lot of sugar, and while some experts debate whether high fructose corn syrup is any worse than sugar, we agree that both, in the vast quantities we Americans consume, contribute to obesity. But I'm not only concerned about obesity. There are two other more insidious and dangerous risks to consider: cancer and heart disease. How could a cookie cause cancer? Let me explain. Both high fructose corn syrup and sugar in the United States are largely made from genetically modified crops: 95% of the sugar beets grown in the United States are GMO, as is 88% percent of the corn. Those crops are engineered to withstand spraying of the Monsanto herbicide Roundup Ready. Last month the International Agency for Research on Cancer declared the key ingredient, Glyphosate, a probable carcinogen. Canola oil, another cookie ingredient, is also of concern: 90% of rape seed (from which canola is produced) is GMO, too. Suddenly those cookies seem less benign, don't they? If that isn't enough to dampen your cravings, recent studies have found a causal link between sugar and heart disease. And trans fats have been well documented to increase the risk of heart disease. A few years ago, this was a big story, and most products now boast that they have zero trans fats. In reality, companies are allowed to claim \"zero\" on the label if a serving contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fats. But often we eat more than one serving\u2014do you really stop at two cookies?--so rather than zero, your actual intake can be several grams. Adding to the confusion, on the ingredient label, transfats show up as partially hydrogenated oils, including in Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, and other popular Girl Scout Cookies. Clearly the Girl Scouts' leadership knows of the dangers; they actively advertise on the boxes and web site those cookies contain \"zero grams trans fat per serving.\" \"You might be thinking, 'Wow!

Police say Robert (Bob) Bates, 73, thought he pulled out his Taser during an arrest, but instead shot the suspect, who later died at a local hospital. The shooting happened after an apparent drug and gun selling operation by the Tulsa Violent Crimes task force Thursday. Bates, a member of the task force, was part of a group of deputies trying to arrest Eric Courtney Harris, 44, in the parking lot of a Dollar General store. Police say Harris, a convicted felon, sold undercover officers a pistol. When confronted by an arrest team, he fled the scene on foot and police say they \"observed him reaching for his waistband area ...causing concern for the deputies safety.\" After a brief pursuit, police say Harris was forced to the ground, where he continued to resist arrest and \"refused to pull his left arm from underneath his body where his hand was near his waistband.\" It was during this portion of the arrest that police say \"the reserve deputy was attempting to use less lethal force, believing he was utilizing a Taser, when he inadvertently discharged his service weapon, firing one round which struck Harris.\" Harris died at a local hospital and his cause of death is under investigation. Police say Harris admitted to medics at the scene that he may have been under the influence of Phencyclidine, a street drug commonly known as PCP.

That was the easy part. In a difficult bid to land a rocket stage on a floating barge for the first time, the private space exploration company was unsuccessful. SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted: \"Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival.\" He later clarified that the rocket landed, but tipped over. SpaceX tried to land a Falcon 9 on the drone ship in January, but the rocket hit at an angle and exploded. SpaceX has said it will keep trying and, after it masters landing at sea, hopes to someday land rockets on the ground. Usually booster rockets burn up in Earth's atmosphere or, like NASA's space shuttle boosters, they fall back into the ocean. So why try to land one? Musk wants to cut costs. On his company's website, he says that if anyone can figure out how to \"reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred.\" What about the rest of the rocket and the Dragon? The smaller, top part of the rocket will carry the Dragon into orbit and then break away from the cargo ship and burn up in Earth's atmosphere. The Dragon will dock with the space station a couple of days after launch to deliver more than 4,300 pounds (1,950 kilograms) of supplies, including research equipment and ISSpresso, an espresso maker that astronauts can use to make coffee and tea. The space station crew will spend about five weeks unpacking the Dragon. They'll then stuff it with over 3,000 pounds of science experiments, trash and other stuff to send back to Earth. When they're done, Dragon will leave the space station and mission controllers will guide it to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off California. This is the sixth SpaceX mission to the International Space Station. The company was the first private space contractor to dock with the station.

+{"article": "(CNN)Easter is unique on the Christian calendar, a major point in the cycle of the religious year, and one that has always been able to resist the commercialization and culture warring that surrounds Christmas. That's in part because Easter is genuinely about how religious impulses, and patterns, can operate in ways that affect our lives. Nevertheless, I'm often surprised by how little people, even those supposedly within the Christian tradition, actually know about what is called Holy Week and its culmination on Easter Sunday. At a time when our culture is roiled by questions of identity and ethics (and tolerance) that have profound religious implications, it's worth pausing to explore this crucial holiday -- and the awareness of the human condition, in all its sadness and glory, that it engenders. After all, Holy Week calls mostly to those who incline their minds and hearts in its direction with seriousness of intent. Still, the fuss must puzzle those looking on, wondering what it all means. Why do Christians make so much of this springtime week, and make so much of Easter weekend? There is a phrase that many never come across, even among Christians: Easter Triduum. This refers to the three days of Easter that begin with Good Friday, proceed through Holy Saturday, and conclude with Easter Sunday. It's definitely a progression, although the word itself -- triduum -- can refer to any three days of prayer. Easter Triduum has a kind of major prologue in Maundy Thursday, the day when, by tradition, Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples in the upper room in Jerusalem on the night before he was crucified. The idea of Holy Communion begins with this meal, which was a Passover meal. Jesus, of course, was Jewish, as were all his disciples. He was never trying to erase Judaism and found a new religion. His work involved modifying and extending Judaism in fresh ways. On Maundy Thursday, Christians sometimes practice the washing of feet, recalling that Jesus washed the very dusty feet of his disciples at the Last Supper as a way of demonstrating profound humility -- showing that he was himself a servant -- and modeling a kind of ideal behavior. Good Friday isn't, in fact, so good. It's the day of the crucifixion, when Jesus was scourged and beaten, forced to carry his cross to Golgotha, the \"place of the skull,\" and nailed to the cross itself for what must have been an agonizing death. The actual scene of the Crucifixion varies from gospel to gospel, as do his last words, assembled into the so-called \"seven last words\" of Jesus by adding up fragments from different gospels. Some of these words are quotations, as when Jesus asked God why he has abandoned him: This is a quote from the 22nd Psalm, which opens: \"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?\" Good Friday is a day of death, sacrifice, displacement, fear. Holy Saturday is probably the least understood day of the Easter Triduum.

+{"article": "(CNN)It won't come as news to anyone in America today that the authority to make an arrest carries with it the potential to escalate to lethal force. But the seemingly innocuous genesis of police authority (initial stop and question, pulling someone over for a traffic violation) becomes significant because of the potential result (deadly force). A minor traffic stop can be the springboard to a check for outstanding warrants. An initial stop can therefore lead to an arrest. And an arrest, we know, can have fatal results. In South Carolina earlier this month, Walter Scott was the subject of a bench warrant for over $18,000 in unpaid child support, according to court records. That means that once he was stopped, he probably knew before the police officer that his own arrest was a foregone conclusion. But failure to pay child support is not a crime. At least, not in the traditional sense, though states do criminalize it. It's rightly a civil matter. Skipping child support court should similarly not be a crime either. This means that a bench warrant for failing to appear in child support court isn't about catching criminals -- it's bill collection, only with a collection agency bristling with lethal and other weapons, and acting under color of law. This raises some serious questions about what exactly we want our heavily armed law enforcement officers to be doing. Not all \"warrants\" are created equal. Sometimes there are warrants for arrest, which are issued for alleged murders, drug dealing or sexual assault. Then there are cases like the Scott case. Bench warrants for deadbeat dads are not arrest warrants for crimes. Don't get me wrong. Deadbeat and absent dads are one of the most serious and often overlooked threats to our collective well-being today. Forget the school-to-prison-pipeline. Lousy parents are the prison pipeline; particularly symptomatic of this problem are absent and deadbeat dads. Still, given our justifiably dim view of deadbeat dads and child support court scofflaws, there is ultimately something Dickensian in our remedy for enforcement. First, it's important to keep in mind that nearly every instance of a family court's intrusion into the private family unit is an undesirable event. Yes, parents who can't resolve noncustodial support can turn to the courts, but once the courts and law enforcement are involved, they do things their way. And it almost always could have been avoided if the family could have resolved issues on their own. South Carolina family courts enforce their child support orders through civil contempt proceedings. Oftentimes and sadly so, papa is a rolling stone, and he falls behind on his payments. When a supporting parent has fallen behind, the court clerk sends dad an order to show up in court and explain why he should not be held in contempt for violating the payment order. At the hearing, that parent may demonstrate that he is not in contempt by showing that, well, he would love to pay, but right now he's just in the process of getting himself together -- and he actually has a job", "summary": "Walter Scott was killed by a South Carolina police officer in April .

The officer wounded, John Moynihan, is white. Angelo West, the gunman shot to death by officers, was black. After the shooting, community leaders in the predominantly African-American neighborhood of Roxbury, where the shooting occurred, were quick to call for calm. One said the officers were forced to return fire. Still, they were glad to see the video released for the sake of transparency. \"I think people understand that the decisions Mr. West made put his life in grave jeopardy,\" clergyman Mark V. Scott told CNN affiliate WCVB. West had several prior gun convictions, police said. Moynihan is a former U.S. Army Ranger who was honored at the White House for his heroism in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. The \"Top Cop\" helped save a transit officer wounded in a gunbattle with the bombers. Last month, he became a gunshot victim when he and other officers in unmarked cars, but with blue lights flashing, stopped the car West was driving. When Moynihan opened the driver's-side door, the video shows, West sprang out and fired a shot with a pistol at the officer's face. As West ran away, he fired back at the other officers with his .357 Magnum handgun, police said. They returned fire and killed him. Moynihan, 34, survived with a bullet wound under one eye. He was placed in a medically induced coma at a Boston hospital. On Saturday, Moynihan was released from the hospital. \"His condition is best described as serious but improving,\" Boston police said in a statement. \"In the days after the shooting, John and his family have been strengthened, humbled and inspired by the outpouring of love and support they've received -- not only from his closest friends and fellow officers -- but also from concerned citizens and strangers from all over the country wishing him a full and speedy recovery.\" A woman who was driving by at the time of the shooting suffered a flesh wound in the right arm. She was not identified.

No. 22 was painted before hip-hop became the pi\u00f1ata for conservative talk show hosts to bash and before sagging pants became a popular fashion statement.

+{"article": "(CNN)This week's attack on Garissa University College is Al-Shabaab's fifth major assault in Kenya in the past year and a half. The Thursday massacre was the most deadly assault so far, with 147 dead, easily eclipsing the terrorist group's most notorious attack, a four-day siege in late September 2013 at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi in which 67 people were killed. After the Westgate attack, Al-Shabaab unleashed a string of attacks in Kenya that have killed more than 100 people -- assaulting the coastal town of Mpeketoni on June 16, 2014; shooting bus passengers who could not recite the Quran on November 22, 2014; and then, days later, executing Christian quarry laborers. Why is Al-Shabaab, a Somali nationalist, Islamist group affiliated with al Qaeda, targeting Kenya? Al-Shabaab says its attacks are to protest the more than 3,500 Kenyan soldiers participating in the African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia. But if that is the case, why doesn't Al-Shabaab target Kenyan military bases rather than attacking undefended so-called soft targets such as Kenyan malls and universities? In fact, Thursday's attack on the university is one more sign of the weakness of Al-Shabaab, which has steadily been losing ground for years in Somalia as a result of the African Union forces fighting them there, as well as a covert U.S. drone and Special Operations Forces campaign that has also degraded the group's capabilities. In 2006, Al-Shabaab controlled the Somali capital of Mogadishu and, in the following years, much of central and southern Somalia. Six years later, African Union forces had recaptured Mogadishu, parts of southern Somalia and critical cities such as Kismayo. The loss of Kismayo, Al-Shabaab's last city stronghold and an important port, took a financial toll on the group. Ground battles with African Union forces have decimated Al-Shabaab's rank-and-file, while U.S. drone strikes and Special Operations raids have killed some of the group's leaders. In the past four years, according to a count by New America, the U.S. has launched a dozen drone strikes and six Special Operations raids against Al-Shabaab. These strikes and raids -- almost all occurring in southern Somalia -- have targeted the terrorist group's training camps and leaders. American drones or special operators have killed 10 leaders: Aden Hashi Ayro, the top commander; Ahmed Abdi Godane, Ayro's successor; a top commander, Sheikh Muhidin Mohamud Omar; Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, a senior official who operated training camps; commander Jabreel Malik Muhammed; Bilal al-Berjawi, the deputy of military leader Fazul Abdullah Mohammed; chief bomb-maker Ibrahim Ali Abdi; intelligence chief Tahlil Abdishakur; Yusef Dheeq, the chief of external operations and planning for intelligence and security; and Adan Garar, who was involved in planning the Westgate Mall attack.

+{"article": "(CNN)Wealthy Nigerians used to travel abroad to get their fix of luxury goods. However these days, they can take a stroll around Victoria Island, an exclusive neighborhood in Lagos where brands like Porsche, Hugo Boss and Ermenegildo Zegna line the streets. The Nigerian city is among African metropolises which have seen some of the highest growth in the number of millionaires on the continent. Others include Luanda, Dar es Salaam and Accra, which is predicted to nearly double its millionaire count from 800 in 2012 to 1,500 in 2020. If the growth continues, these cities could join an existing club of African wealth hubs hosting the so-called ultra-high net worth individuals, typically those with over $30 million of net assets excluding their primary residence. These centers of affluence are spread from Johannesburg in the south, through Lagos in the west and Nairobi in the east, to Cairo in the north. This emerging class of Africa's new millionaires has been pushing the demand for luxury products across the continent, with sales of high-end products growing by a third between 2008 and 2013. However, they are no longer concentrated in southern Africa, traditionally the wealthiest part of the continent. Nigeria is now one of the fastest growing markets for French Champagne and digital televisions according to a report by Deloitte, and in 2013 LVMH's seven Nigerian branches outsold its 600 South African stores. \"Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in terms of middle class,\" says Fflur Roberts, head of luxury at Euromonitor, a market research provider. \"It's due to a mix of rising incomes, rising population but also growth slowing in other emerging markets.\" Luxury brands tend to enter country markets through distributors, benefiting from local knowledge of their partners but still retaining a significant amount of control over how their name is marketed in that country. \"Getting a new brand in a new market where they don't fully understand the operating environment would be very dangerous for that brand,\" explains Roberts. She warns that in spite of potential, the future of luxury in Africa is dependent on reforms taking place: \"It will rely on infrastructure and the operating environment such as security and how trading is done,\" she says. When it comes to what they choose to splash their cash on, Africa's rich like to stick to well-known global labels that carry an automatic badge of status. \"Generally the brands they buy will be more ostentatious compared to somebody in the more developed, mature markets. It's going to be the Louis Vuitton, the Gucci, the Prada,\" says Roberts. She adds that this could be down to the fact that typical a luxury consumer in Africa is much younger than those in mature markets such as Western Europe, who tend to be in their 50s and 60s. \"They are in their late twenties or thirties so it's very much new wealth, and they will be looking towards luxury as a means of showing status and success,\" says Roberts. However, in spite of mainstream brand's dominance, smaller home-grown labels also see the growth", "summary": "The city with most multimillionaires in Africa is Johannesburg .

The moon slipped fully into Earth's shadow at 4:58 a.m. Pacific Time (7:58 a.m. ET) Saturday, starting a total lunar eclipse for nearly five minutes -- what NASA says will be the shortest such eclipse of the century. The celestial body took on a burnt-orange tint in the minutes before, during and after the total eclipse, giving the moon the appearance that earns total eclipses the \"blood moon\" nickname. Watchers in the eastern half of North America caught only a partial eclipse -- and in some places, an orange one -- before the moon set below the horizon.

The government is tracking the finances of people suspected of ties to Al-Shabaab, the militant group that claimed responsibility for the Thursday attack. So far, the government has frozen 86 accounts, but that number could go up, said Mwenda Njoka, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry. The government has tracked supporters of the terror group since 2011, and efforts to freeze their assets have gone on since then. It has a list of suspects from various parts of the country, but mostly in Nairobi and Mombasa, he said. Kenyans mourned the victims of the attack Tuesday night at Nairobi's Uhuru Park, where hundreds gathered. Organizers unloaded 147 crosses, some draped with the nation's flag, as candles flickered in the dark. Of the fatalities, 142 were students at the university, and the rest were security forces and campus security. \"I can't even look at pictures of the people killed without crying,\" said Mary Wambui, 32, who lives in Nakuru, hundreds of miles from Garissa. \"They were just children. They were trying to make a better life for themselves. Some were first to go to college in their communities. They died trying to get an education.\" Using the hashtag #147notjustanumber, Kenyans used social media to talk about the lives of the victims. They shared pictures of beaming faces, full of life and energy, in happier days. They talked about parents too shocked to speak after identifying their children's bodies. Some students remain unaccounted for, and wailing relatives alternate their searches between hospitals and morgues. Kenyan authorities have not released the names of the victims. Kenyan authorities had prior intelligence that a university in Garissa could be attacked, yet the country's rapid response team was stuck in Nairobi for hours after the massacre awaiting transport, a police source said Monday. The frozen accounts is the latest in a series of actions as the government faced heavy criticism for the siege, which lasted hours. A spokesman for President Uhuru Kenyatta said authorities \"got the job done\" and saved lives. The university had about 800 students. \"With the benefit of hindsight, you can always say things could have been done better,\" Manoah Esipisu said. Kenya also launched airstrikes Monday targeting Al-Shabaab's training camps in Somalia, according to a military source, who said they were not retaliation for last week's massacre. \"The latest attack of Al-Shabaab bases by the Kenya military is part of the ongoing operations that started in 2011,\" the source said Monday. Kenya has also offered 20 million Kenyan shillings, or about $215,000, for information on the whereabouts of Mohamed Mohamud, who allegedly organized the attack. Mohamud is a senior Al-Shabaab leader known by the aliases Dulyadin and Gamadhere, authorities said. Al-Shabaab is based in Somalia, and its violence has spread to Kenya before. In 2013, militants attacked Nairobi's upscale Westgate Mall, leaving 67 people dead.

After his tech start-up was declined investment, Jiang decided to confront his fear of rejection head-on. This led to his writing his book called Rejection Proof, part self-help and part motivational/autobiography, which is being released this week. Famously, in 2012 on his third day of the project, Jiang asked Austin, Texas, Krispy Kreme manager (Jackie Braun) to make him five interlinked donuts to mimic the Olympic symbol. To his surprise, she rose to the challenge and his rejection request faltered. He shared his video and it went viral on Reddit. Before long, Jiang (and Braun) were invited on talk shows and Jiang was being asked to speak at events across the US. Jiang was even offered jobs as his project continued and his fame grew. That wasn't the goal of the project though. \"I'm really just a person trying to overcome my own fears,\" explained Jiang.

By putting ourselves out there, the world will usually open itself up to you. Though the world can seem cruel and cold, actually humans have a hard time saying no. So open yourself up, don't be afraid to ask for something. If you fail, remember it's not about you. 2 - Rejection is more or less a numbers game. Sometimes the most far-fetched idea gets a yes. If you talk to enough people, somebody will say yes to you. J.K. Rowling went through 12 rejections to get her yes for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. 3 - You cannot use rejection to measure the merit of an idea. Sometimes if you really want to change the world, getting rejection is a must. Rejection is a human interaction with two sides. It often says more about the rejector than the rejectee, and should never be used as the universal truth and sole judgment of merit. 4 - Don't run", "summary": "One man's entrepreneurial quest turned into unexpected success . \"100 Days of Rejection\" took Jiang out of his comfort zone .

Although Canberra then, as it is now, was strongly opposed to the death penalty, Van's death did not harm Australia's relationship with Singapore, nor the Australian people's view of that country. The executions of Chan and Sukumaran early Wednesday morning will be a different story. Their deaths will result in short to medium term frictions between Canberra and Jakarta at the highest levels. However, this will soon ease as the two countries have a number of common interests that neither side can abandon. But the Australian public's view of Indonesia, and anger with its government, will take much longer to subside. Those sympathetic to the dilemma faced by Indonesia's President Joko Widodo will argue that he was politically bound to allow the executions to take place. He ran on a robust anti-drug campaign, arguing that 18,000 Indonesians die from illicit drugs each year, though those figures are widely disputed. As the saga over whether the executions would take place dragged on for months, following ever more desperate legal challenges from the defense teams, Widodo painted himself into a corner. The widespread Australian perception is that the President owed his power to PDI-P Chairperson and former President Megawati Sukarnoputri. Believed by many to be the most powerful person in the country, some suggest that Megawati insisted Widodo stand by his hard-line anti-drugs policy and stare down Australian pressure -- or lose her support and reputation as a firm leader in the process. As recently as last year, it seemed that Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott empathized with the underlying pressures and back-room obligations on leaders. While working assiduously behind the scenes to argue for clemency for the \"Bali Nine\" duo, Abbott nevertheless appeared to accept the inevitability of the executions, even as he publicly reiterated Australia's opposition to capital punishment. Such a softly\u2014softly approach was also aided by an Australian public that did not seem overly interested in the plight of Chan and Sukumaran. All that changed when credible stories began to emerge about the rehabilitation of the two Australian prisoners: Chan becoming a pastor and respected religious example for his fellow prisoners and Sukumaran a passionate painter with impressive talent. Such was the regard held for the Australian duo that even the governor of the Kerobokan jail where they were kept, Sudjonggo, urged a reconsideration of their impending executions. As the duo attracted greater public sympathy -- including from a joint statement by the last six prime ministers urging Jakarta to reconsider -- the good, great and popular in Australian society also united behind the plea for mercy. Under increasing pressure in the polls, the Abbott government began to publicly pursue what it had been doing in private: urging a stay of execution on legal and moral grounds -- even once reminding Jakarta of the over $1 billion worth of aid that Indonesia has received from Australia over the past decade.

+{"article": "Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya (CNN)At first glance, Sudan looks like any other northern white rhino: stout and agile, with square lips. He grazes under the hot sun, his massive head lowered to the ground, at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in central Kenya. When he's not wallowing in his enclosure, he waddles around the sprawling savannah, stopping briefly to drink water from a concrete hole. But Sudan is not just any rhino. He's the last known male northern white rhino left in the entire world. For an animal on the verge of extinction, the fate of the subspecies rests on his ability to conceive with the two female northern white rhinos at the conservancy. Sudan's female companions, Fatu and Najin, live at the conservancy, where experts are scrambling to ensure the subspecies does not go extinct. The animals are under 24-hour protection by armed guards. Rhinos are targeted by poachers, fueled by the belief in Asia that their horns cure various ailments. Experts say the rhino horn is becoming more lucrative than drugs. In addition to round-the-clock security, the conservancy has put radio transmitters on the animals and dispatches incognito rangers into neighboring communities to gather intelligence on poaching. The conservancy is also raising funds to help equip and train rangers who guard the rhinos. At 42, Sudan is elderly in rhino years. Fatu, 15, is a spring chicken, while Najin is 25. Though the three northern white rhinos are physiologically healthy, age might be a factor, says George Paul, the deputy veterinarian at the conservancy. \"Sudan is currently old and may not be able to naturally mount and mate with a female,\" he says. In addition, he has a low sperm count, which complicates natural and scientific efforts, experts say. Najin could conceive, but her hind legs are so weak, she may be unable to support a mounted male. \"There has been recorded mating between different pairs over the last few years, but not conceptions,\" Paul says. \"Based on a recent health examination conducted, both animals have a regular estrus cycle, but no conception has been recorded.\" And if one is not recorded soon, the beloved animal will go extinct. Rhinos on a plane: Life-saving mission across borders . In a race against time, international experts are resorting to science to try to sustain the subspecies. The northern white rhino cannot mate with a black rhino, but there is a chance it could mate with a southern white rhino, Paul says. While southern white rhinos are not endangered -- Ol Pejeta has 19 -- they are a different subspecies from the northern white rhino genetically. Though the offspring would not be 100% northern white rhino, it would be better than nothing, experts say. A committee at the conservancy is also looking at various alternative reproduction techniques, including in vitro fertilization. \"In other countries, success has been achieved with embryo transfer in a different rhino species, thus that, as a technique, can be presupposed to be the most promising,\" Paul says. \"However, consultations are ongoing amongst different reproductive technique experts on the way", "summary": "Sudan is one of a handful of northern white rhinos left worldwide .

The as yet not titled eight-part, one-hour series is set to premiere July 26. Jenner, who along with his family has starred in the hit E! reality series \"Keeping Up with the Kardashians,\" recently went public with the fact that he is transgender. Here are a few things we hope the new show will offer: . A closer look at Jenner's current relationship with his former wife . Fans of \"Keeping Up with the Kardashians\" often got to see the sometimes strained relationship between Bruce and his wife Kris. As the Kardashian family matriarch who also manages her kids' careers, Kris butted heads with Bruce over everything from their children to his desire for more privacy. The pair announced they had filed for divorce in September 2014 after some time of living apart. There has been plenty of speculation regarding Kris Jenner's feelings about Bruce's transitioning though she tweeted her support after he made the announcement Friday during an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer. What role he will take in the transgender community . Before he was a realty television star, Jenner was a popular motivational speaker. He is already being hailed for bringing attention to the transgender community. \"Bruce is incredibly courageous and an inspiration, and we are proud to be entrusted with this deeply personal and important story,\" said Jeff Olde, executive vice president of programming and development for E! \"This series will present an unfiltered look as Bruce boldly steps into uncharted territory and is true to himself for the first time.\" According to E!

His relationship with his kids . Jenner is extremely close with his children. He has six biological kids with former wives Chrystie Scott, Linda Thompson, and Kris Jenner. He also helped raise Kris Jenner's four children -- Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Robert Kardashian -- from her first marriage. \"Those are the ones I'm concerned with and the only ones I don't -- I can't allow, I can't let myself hurt them,\" Jenner told Sawyer during their interview about his fear in telling his children. Many of his kids appear supportive of his transition and his two youngest, daughter Kendall and Kylie, released the following statement to ABC about their father: \"We love our dad very much as he is an amazing father. We couldn't ask for a better dad. He has the biggest heart and all we want for him is to be happy. If he's happy, we're happy.\" How fans will react .

+{"article": "(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.

+{"article": "(CNN)Countries around the world have launched massive aid operations to help victims of the Nepal earthquake, but distribution of aid faces challenges as Nepal is still trying to come to terms with the scale of the disaster. With over 4,400 dead, 8,000 injured and 8 million people across Nepal affected, numerous aid groups and at least 16 nations have rushed to send supplies and workers to the stricken country. But now the Nepalese government and army who are leading the disaster response face another problem: How to effectively coordinate and organize the massive influx of humanitarian aid. Here are three major obstacles that are hampering efforts of distribution. Nepal relies on only one international airport to receive and deliver aid. Relief organizations say the tarmac at Tribhuvan International Airport remains jam-packed with a large number of cargo planes. Several aircraft carrying essential supplies have been turned away, or diverted to India and elsewhere. \"The airport is totally congested. Even the planes which have landed, goods haven't been offloaded,\" Jagan Chapagain, the Asia Pacific Director of the IFRC (International Federations of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies) told CNN. Flightradar24, a live air traffic monitor, shows that incoming flights have had to circle in the air several times before being able to land. The United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team who is on the ground coordinating international relief efforts says they are doing all they can to address the problem. \"There are lots of flights arriving from around the world for search and rescue, and that's the challenge we're trying to address by supporting the airport staff directly,\" said Marcus Werne, a UNDAC team leader. But Chapagain says that airport management is still chaotic, with staff and military not being able to clear runways and offload supplies effectively. According to a U.N. situation report, main roads in Kathmandu are open, but remote areas are largely inaccessible. \"Due to the mountainous geography, infrastructure damage, collapsed bridges and damaged roads, access to many of the affected areas is reported to be extremely limited,\" read the report. The Nepalese government has not been able to provide relief to all affected areas due to difficulties in transporting goods, a government official told CNN. \"The helicopters are small. They don't fly in windy and cloudy conditions. Given Nepal's geographical terrain we cannot use surface transport much but we are using it,\" said Sagar Mani Parajuli, the Joint Secretary for Nepal's Home Ministry. The situation has deteriorated to the point where relief workers are as good as stranded. Pirtha Raj Joshi, a disaster management officer for Nepal Red Cross, had to walk 10 hours to reach a office in one of the severely affected districts, said Chapagain. Initial reports from the IFRC say that over 36,000 houses have been totally destroyed, with the number expected to rise as teams arriving in severely affected areas continue to assess damages. Just two days after the earthquake struck, Nepalese authorities leading the response are still trying to fully understand which areas have been affected, how they are affected and what", "summary": "Nepalese authorities struggle with trying to coordinate a massive influx of international aid .

+{"article": "Miami (CNN)Inside a plane at Miami International Airport, baggage handlers are going on a shopping spree with passengers' bags. What they don't know is that they are being recorded on a hidden camera. The Miami-Dade Police Department set up the camera as part of an ongoing police investigation into luggage thefts by the very airport workers who are supposed to get bags safely onto planes. Email your story ideas and tips to CNNtips@cnn.com. \"It's a problem we all face,\" said police Lt. Pete Estis. \"We will continue to be proactive until we can see that the claims of pilfering through luggage will actually decrease.\" Miami Aviation Director Emilio T. Gonz\u00e1lez said the insider theft cases \"are indeed the exception among the thousands of decent, hardworking employees at MIA, and they have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for their crimes.\" And these insider thefts just don't happen in Miami. A CNN analysis of passenger property loss claims filed with the TSA from 2010 to 2014 shows 30,621 claims of missing valuables, mostly packed in checked luggage. The rest occurred at security checkpoints. Total property loss claimed: $2.5 million. John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York topped the list of airports with the most claims of thefts from luggage, followed by Los Angeles International, Orlando International and Miami International, according to the data. The problem has been so serious at JFK that in 2013, El Al Airlines set up a hidden camera in a baggage hold. The camera showed baggage handlers stealing items on flights bound for Israel, including a $5,000 Seiko watch, iPhones, an iPad, cameras, gold rings and cash. Six of those arrested pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property or petty larceny and the seventh suspect's case was sealed, according to the Queens District Attorney's Office. The high-profile case, though, didn't stop the thefts. Two more baggage handlers at JFK were arrested in 2014 after authorities said they stole two designer handbags from a suitcase, and then tried to sell them on eBay. Then, in December, seven more JFK baggage handlers were charged with stealing valuables from checked luggage. The items were stolen from suitcases of passengers traveling to or from Hawaii, Japan, Johannesburg, London, Bangkok, Dubai, Milan and various U.S. cities. In Miami, which aggressively goes after luggage thieves, police have arrested 31 baggage handlers and ramp workers since 2012, including six so far this year. Police set up a hidden camera inside the belly of a plane last year and caught baggage handlers rifling through luggage and stealing various items. Another hidden camera caught a baggage handler rummaging through bags in a secure luggage room inside the airport while a security guard looked the other way. \"Insider threat is very scary for us in law enforcement, and certainly someone taking somebody's cell phone, iPad, computer -- what's next?\" Estis said.

Investigators are looking into the possibility, said Goldsboro police Sgt. Jeremy Sutton. He did not explain what may have made it a hate crime. The victim -- Ron Lane, whom officials said was a longtime employee and the school's print shop operator -- was white, as is the suspect. Lane's relatives said he was gay, CNN affiliate WNCN reported. The suspect, Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, worked with Lane as part of a work-study program, but was let go from the program in early March due to poor attendance, college President Kay Albertson said Tuesday. On Monday, Stancil walked into the print shop on the third floor of a campus building, aimed a pistol-grip shotgun and fired once, killing Lane, according to Sutton. Stancil has tattoos on his face. Sutton said investigators are looking into whether he is part of a white supremacist gang. He has no previous criminal record, authorities said. Sutton said Stancil fled on a motorcycle after the shooting and ultimately abandoned it in a highway median. Then, Stancil continued on to Daytona, Florida, but authorities don't know how he traveled, Sutton said. He was arrested just after 1 a.m. Tuesday, after he was found sleeping on a beach, about 550 miles (885 kilometers) from Goldsboro. Volusia County Beach Patrol had approached him for violating the city's ordinance against sleeping on the beach. He had a knife, police said. He was taken into custody without incident.

The items are crafts and artifacts made by Japanese-Americans confined to World War II internment camps. A grass-roots campaign of a change.org petition, a Facebook page, and mediation by \"Star Trek\" actor George Takei has resulted in Rago Arts and Auction Center agreeing to pull the items from the sale. \"There is an essential discussion to be had about the sale of historical items that are a legacy of man's inhumanity to man. It extends beyond what is legal. It is something auction houses, galleries and dealers are faced with regularly,\" the auction house said. \"We hope this controversy will be the beginning of a discourse on this issue.\" Takei, who with his family spent time in one of the camps, thanked people for working to stop the sale. According to a comment on the Facebook page \"Japanese American History: NOT for Sale,\" he was working on the issue while on a trip to Australia. \"It took a few calls today here in the wee hours, and I'll be issuing a formal statement later, but we can all celebrate a bit today at this news,\" he wrote. The auction house said 24 lots of an original collection of works of art and crafts were removed. During World War II, about 117,000 people of Japanese descent were forced to live in 10 internment camps. The government called them relocation centers. Many of the people who lived there and their descendants had another phrase for the facilities. They call them concentration camps. Two-thirds of the people who were ordered there were native born U.S. citizens, according to the National Archives. CNN affiliate KGO reported the items were given to historian Allen Eaton, who opposed internment camps. The items were inherited from the historian's estate. Miriam Tucker, a partner with the auction house, said it had hoped the items would go to someone who cared about their historical meaning. \"For us, there could be no better resolution than for a suitable museum, foundation or members of the Japanese-American community with the means to preserve this collection to come forward and secure it for education, display and research,\" she said. KGO reported the people it talked to would like items returned to family members if possible and any other artifacts put in an exhibition. \"This was a gift and let the gift come full circle,\" said Judy Hamaguchi with the San Francisco Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League. She was referring to a letter the organization sent to the auction house. \"It should be returned as a gift.\" The lots have been packed away for now, said auction house partner David Rago in an email. \"Once the dust settles from this auction weekend (1,200 lots in three days) we will work with a small group of people from the Japanese-American community who have identified themselves through this process as generous, informed, voices of reason,\" he wrote.

+{"article": "(CNN)ISIS on Wednesday released more than 200 Yazidis, a minority group whose members were killed, captured and displaced when the Islamist terror organization overtook their towns in northern Iraq last summer, officials said. Most of those released were women and children; the rest were ill or elderly, said Rassol Omar, a commander in the Peshmerga force that defends northern Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region. Omar didn't say what led to the release, other than asserting that Arab tribal leaders helped to coordinate it. The freed Yazidis were received by Peshmerga, who sent them to the Kurdish regional capital, Irbil, said Nuri Osman, an official with Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government. It wasn't immediately clear what motivated Wednesday's release, Osman said. Osman said 217 Yazidis were released. Omar, the Peshmerga commander, had a higher count: 228. ISIS previously released scores of other Yazidis -- largely children and the elderly -- since attacking the group's towns last year. The Sunni Islamist militant group steamrolled into Iraq's north last summer, forcing hundreds of thousands of minorities -- Yazidis among them -- from their homes. Yazidis are of Kurdish descent, and their religion is considered a pre-Islamic sect that draws from Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism. One of the oldest religious communities in the world, the Yazidis have long suffered persecution, with many Muslims referring to them as devil worshipers. ISIS' cruelty to them has been extraordinary. ISIS' conquest of the town of Sinjar, in particular, provoked a major humanitarian crisis as some Yazidis fled into the mountains -- where many became trapped for a time without food and water -- and others fled by foot into neighboring Syria. ISIS slaughtered Yazidis by the hundreds, Yian Dakhil, the only lawmaker representing the Yazidis in Iraq's Parliament, told CNN last year. Reports emerged from some Yazidi survivors that ISIS raped and enslaved female Yazidi captives. An international coalition responded, first by airdropping supplies in the mountains. Rescues came next. And then, starting in August, the United States and other nations conducted airstrikes targeting ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. State Department estimates that 500,000 Yazidis live in northern Iraq, accounting for less than 1% of the country's population. CNN's Raja Razek reported from Beirut.

The life-size bronze statue in Celoron, New York, has been likened to Conway Twitty, the snake from \"Beetlejuice\" and actor Steve Buscemi, among other unflattering comparisons. Even Mayor Scott Schrecengost has gone on record saying he does not care for the statue, which shows the comic star holding a bottle of fictional nutrition elixir Vitameatavegamin. And yet, it has been a tourist draw since 2009 for Celoron, the comedian's birthplace, attracting visitors who pose with the statue for pictures. A resident of Jamestown, where Ball grew up, started the Facebook page in 2012 \"We Love Lucy! Get Rid of this Statue,\" seeking to get rid of the \"ugly\" statue. A story about the group on Yahoo! News this week spread through the internet, reviving debate over what to do with the statue. The founder of the Facebook group would like to see the statue replaced with a new one outside a planned Comedy Hall of Fame in Jamestown, home to the Lucy-Desi Museum & Center for Comedy and the annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. The founder requested anonymity, saying the issue is \"not about me; it's about the statue.\" \"Lucille Ball was one of the most talented, beautiful, funny women who ever appeared on television; a pioneer, a giant of television. My only goal is to have a sculpture of her in Jamestown which does her justice,\" the group's founder told CNN. \"This statue in Celoron is not fixable. I love my hometown and I Love Lucy. Let's get a new statue that is a real tribute to her memory as the Comedy Queen of Television.\" A Buffalo News columnist vouched for the sentiment, saying \"its deranged grimace and jagged teeth inspire more dread than reverence.\" \"No one here much likes the statue, and one look tells you why. It looks more like an extra from 'The Walking Dead' than arguably the most famous comic actress of all time,\" Colin Dabkowski wrote Saturday. Still, residents take pride in their claim to fame, \"even if some of them privately wish that the statue commemorating her would be struck by lightning.\" The artist who created the statue did not respond to CNN's request for comment.

But, in this case, \"this Lucy statue is just not up to his usual work.\" Schrecengost told the local Post-Journal that he reached out to the artist over the years about redoing the statue. \"He finally came back and said he wanted $8,000 to $10,000 to do it. I've also reached out to several other sculptors in the region, and some said they would do it, but we're still looking at about $5,000,\" he told the newspaper. \"We'd like to work with the original sculptor and wish he would stand behind his work enough to step up and fix", "summary": "Facebook group wants Lucille Ball statue replaced with a new one .

A majority of them are Nepalese, Indian and Chinese residents, but a handful are adventurers, trekkers and vacationers who have not been heard from since the catastrophe. Technology has played a huge role in helping families share their worries, ask for help and search for their missing loved ones. Several organizations, such as Google and the Red Cross, have published features about the missing on their websites. And on CNN iReport, dozens of people have filed reports pleading for information that might help them locate their missing friends and relatives. The death toll in Nepal is rising; it has now surpassed more than 5,000. Though the news is mostly heartbreaking and worrisome, there have been stories of survival, of families reconnecting with loved ones days after the disaster. The walk of survival . After hearing about devastation in Nepal, Ahmed Shadmann of Bangladesh reached out to his nation's embassy in Nepal, made calls to old college contacts in South Asia and posted pleas on social media to help find his younger sister Raisaa Tashnova. Tashnova, 25, was with a group of friends at The Last Resort, a spa-like resort near the border with China. When the earthquake struck, she was getting ready for a group excursion, a canyon swing. She could see the ground splitting apart beneath her feet. What scared her most was seeing large boulders crashing down from the mountains above. She prayed she wouldn't be crushed. She ran from the toppling boulders and shielded herself. When the tremors subsided, Tashnova and her friends huddled together and camped on higher ground overnight, expecting to be rescued. When three days passed and no one came to their aid, the group decided to take their chances and leave the confines of the resort. The walk toward Kathmandu was treacherous. The roads near the resort were mostly blocked or in bad shape because of a landslide. But the worst part was the smell of rotting flesh, which permeated the air as she passed countless villages flattened by the quake. \"It was a walk of survival,\" she said. \"My brain refused to feel anything apart from putting one leg before the other until the mountains were left behind.\" Tashnova hiked six hours through mountainous terrain toward Nepal's capital. After navigating down tricky mountain slopes, she and her friends came across a village and hitched a ride on a local bus. She was able to connect with her family, nearly four days after the quake, from the airport in Kathmandu while waiting for the next flight to Bangladesh. She was exhausted. She hadn't showered or slept since before the quake. When Shadmann got the call from his sister, he said it felt fantastic. \"What was surprising is that her voice sounded very strong.

Another supporter wrote: \"We want freedom of worship. There are mosques everywhere, but no Jedi temple!\" The petition was started by Akin Cagatay Caliskan, an 18-year-old computer science student from Ankara. Caliskan says he is surprised by the impact his petition has made: \"I did not expect so many supporters. I thought maybe it might (have) 100.\" The satirical document does have a serious side. An online debate started last month when Mehmet Karaca, the rector of Istanbul Technical University, said he would build a mosque on campus if there was enough support. Karaca was referencing another petition asking a mosque be built on campus, which almost 200,000 students signed. Twenty thousand students at ITU also signed a separate petition in response, demanding a Buddhist temple on campus. \"I cannot fulfill my religious needs\" and cannot afford \"to go to the nearest Buddhist temple 2,000 miles away,\" Utku Gurcag Boratac from Istanbul wrote as her reason for signing. \"I want to fulfill my religious needs on campus,\" said another.

+{"article": "(CNN)On May 28, 2014, some 7,000 people gathered in a stadium in China's northwestern Xinjiang region. But they had not come to watch the local football team or any other grand sporting event. Instead, the authorities paraded scores of prisoners dressed in orange jumpsuits. Armed soldiers guarded the exits. In the patently unfair, open air trial that followed, 55 people were found guilty of a range of offenses linked to violent attacks in the region and jailed. Three were sentenced to death. The public mass sentencing was part a China's \"Strike Hard\" campaign against unrest in Xinjiang, a campaign the government claims was launched to combat \"terrorism\" and \"separatism.\" But it was also indicative of a trend that was starkly evident last year around the world -- governments using the death penalty in a misguided, and often cynical, attempt to tackle crime and terrorism. Today, Amnesty International releases its annual review of the death penalty worldwide. Much of it makes for grim reading. In Pakistan, the government lifted a six-year moratorium on the execution of civilians in the wake of the horrific Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar in December. More than 60 people have been put to death since, and the government has threatened to send thousands more death row prisoners to the gallows. Iran and Iraq executed people for \"terrorism,\" and other countries expanded the scope of capital crimes in their penal codes. In a year when abhorrent summary executions by armed groups were branded on the global consciousness as never before, governments are themselves resorting to more executions in a knee-jerk reaction to terrorism. Other countries made use of executions in similarly flawed attempts to address -- or appear to address -- crime rates. Jordan ended an eight-year moratorium in December, putting 11 murder convicts to death, with the government saying it was a move to end a surge in violent crime. In Indonesia, authorities announced plans to execute mainly drug traffickers to tackle a public safety \"national emergency.\" Six people have already been executed this year. A sharp spike in death sentences recorded in 2014 -- up more than 500 on the previous year -- can also be attributed to governments using the death penalty as a political tool. The rise was largely because of developments in Egypt and Nigeria, where courts imposed hundreds of death sentences in the context of internal political instability or crime and armed conflict. The simple fact is that governments using the death penalty to tackle crime and security threats are deceiving themselves or the public or both. There is no evidence that the threat of execution is more of a deterrent to crime than a prison sentence, as United Nations and other studies have repeatedly confirmed. It is high time that world leaders stop using the death penalty as an easy way out when times get tough. At Amnesty International, we have campaigned for an end to the death penalty for decades. Thankfully, most of the world now appears to agree with us. The numbers speak for themselves.

+{"article": "(CNN)In the beginning... there was the Bible, and it was a very Good Book. But this Catholic hadn't read it -- at least, not from cover to cover. So, in the middle of Holy Week, I decided to finally take the plunge. Let me explain. My name is Laura Bernardini and I'm a director of coverage at CNN, which means I manage our newsgathering and newsroom in Washington. I'm also a lifelong Catholic. At work this week, I was talking with some colleagues about Pope Francis' upcoming trip to the United States. During the course of that conversation, I admitted something that has privately bothered me for a long time. I have never read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. This from someone who jokingly refers to herself as the highest-ranking Catholic in the bureau. My excuse always has been that Catholics have their Bible passages read to them at Mass every Sunday. And there are so many people that can so effortlessly quote long and beautiful passages. I love to read, there is no excuse. Still, it made me wonder: Why I had not read the Good Book cover to cover? I took a scriptures class in 9th grade of my Catholic high school, but we moved through that year with only selected passages to journal about. Later, when I graduated, my grandparents gave me a beautiful Bible that has traveled with me from Vermont to Montreal to Atlanta and finally to Washington. But in 24 years, I never so much as cracked the cover, other than to write the date I received the gift. In that newsroom conversation this week, Daniel Burke, the religion editor at CNN.com, suggested I read the Bible each day for a year and chronicle it weekly for Belief. I will admit to being pretty stunned and a little scared at the prospect. I figured that no one would care about my thoughts or my process. I am no scholar, no expert on scripture, as should be obvious. But the more we talked, the more the idea grew on me. I have committed to training regimens for 5Ks and countless diets, so why not try this? I have been looking for a form of meditation in my hectic life. This might just be it. My friends seem excited about this project, sending me some of their favorite passages, which I'm keeping a list of. One Catholic friend offered to join me, suggesting I get a blank journal to help me take notes. The colleague that I sit next to everyday has already sent me his Bar Mitzvah passage and wants to discuss it when I get there. Another friend's daughter is making her first Holy Communion in May, and has also offered to connect us because her class is reading the Bible in school. So, in a way, I'm going back to first grade in Catholic school. Yay for me. Overall, my friends and family are mainly curious how this journey will end. I am, too.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's only a few weeks since the first presidential announcement but already it feels like the campaign is in high gear. A number of politicians have officially announced their candidacies and the outline of their messages is starting to emerge. Hillary Clinton, who announced last week, even jumped into her black van for a road trip out to Iowa, including a pit stop at Chipotle along the way. Although the campaign has barely begun, most of the candidates -- and some probable candidates -- are already starting to make mistakes. Most of the mistakes will simply be blips along the way, but some of them might end up being more damaging if they feed into negative perceptions that voters have about the candidates. Here are a few notable mistakes in the past few weeks: . Trying to separate himself from the pack, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called for substantial cuts to Social Security. He also promised to reverse the marijuana legalization laws that many states have been enacting in response to ballot initiatives. Both of these statements could come back to bite him, should he run for president. While Christie sees Social Security cuts as a way to \"go big\" in crafting a platform for a possible presidential run, as many Republicans have discovered Social Security is a very popular program and one that has strong support from Americans who are over 60 -- a big part of the electorate. On marijuana legalization, Christie inserted himself into an issue that has growing public support in red and blue states, especially with the younger and independent voters who Christie is promising to bring into a potential campaign. If Christie continues to veer right it will be harder to sell himself as the moderate in the race, and yet there is little chance that he will secure conservative votes over someone like Sen. Ted Cruz. Sen. Cruz impressed many observers when he announced his candidacy at Liberty University. But soon after he did something that took many people by surprise. The Texas senator, who has been one of the leading opponents of President Barack Obama's health care plan, acknowledged that he would be enrolling in the Affordable Care Act program since his wife was taking a leave of absence from her job to help with the campaign. It will be hard for him to live this one down. Since he wants to sell himself as the authentic conservative and the Republican who will give Democrats their biggest toughest fight, the fact that he decided to join a program he has railed against -- and tied up Congress with -- will raise questions about whether he is just another politician, and not a true zealot over Obamacare. The decision will offer plenty of fodder to Democrats who want to remind voters that Republicans rail against government even when they and their constituents depend on it. If anyone faces authenticity questions, it is Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.

The student was identified during an investigation by campus police and the office of student affairs and admitted to placing the noose on the tree early Wednesday, the university said. Officials are still trying to determine if other people were involved. Criminal investigations into the incident are ongoing as well. Students and faculty members marched Wednesday afternoon chanting \"We are not afraid. We stand together,\" after pictures of the noose were passed around on social media. At a forum held on the steps of Duke Chapel, close to where the noose was discovered at 2 a.m., hundreds of people gathered. \"You came here for the reason that you want to say with me, 'This is no Duke we will accept. This is no Duke we want. This is not the Duke we're here to experience. And this is not the Duke we're here to create,' \" Duke President Richard Brodhead told the crowd.

A statement issued by Duke said there was a previous report of hate speech directed at students on campus. In the news release, the vice president for student affairs called the noose incident a \"cowardly act.\" \"To whomever committed this hateful and stupid act, I just want to say that if your intent was to create fear, it will have the opposite effect,\" Larry Moneta said Wednesday.

+{"article": "(CNN)The United States has gained much from its position as a space-faring nation. Indeed, U.S. access to space has provided incredible benefit to U.S. national security, defense and the economic well-being of the nation. And in order to effectively confront current and future conflicts, combat terrorism and counter the proliferating threats worldwide, our military depends on space-based capabilities, including intelligence, GPS, and communications satellites. Unfortunately, as global threats increase and the need for assured space access accelerates, the U.S. is faced with a troubling reality -- we are far too reliant on Russian technology to meet our national security obligations. How? For a start, we depend on the Atlas V rocket, which carries many of our most important satellites and is powered by the Russian-made RD-180 rocket engine. The fact that we rely on Russia, currently under sanctions for invading a sovereign nation, should reinforce the need for a change in our current course. Assured access to space is an area where the U.S. should not be reliant on nonsecure foreign supply chains, which are subject to disruption, threats, unfavorable contracts and undue leverage against the interests of the U.S. The Ukraine crisis should have served as a wake-up call, highlighting the danger of dependence on Russia to launch national security satellites into space. And the United States should play no part in supporting the defense industry of a country that continues to abrogate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbors. Simply put, it is bad policy to rely on others for critical national security requirements, and worse policy when this reliance supports countries taking action in direct contradiction to U.S. national security interests. Dmitry Rogozin, a Russian Deputy Prime Minister in charge of defense and space industries, has called American taxpayer outlays for the Russian engine \"free money\" that goes directly back into Russia's missile modernization programs. It is high time the U.S. government turn to its existing domestic capability and turn off this flow of funds. Fortunately, there are some signs of progress. Last year, Congress took bipartisan action to phase out reliance on the RD-180 engine by the end of the decade, and to transition to an all-American space launch capability. The defense authorization for fiscal year 2015 included restrictions on the future use of the RD-180 for the Atlas V, authorizing $220 million to begin development of a U.S. alternative. This was a wise move, but it's not enough. There are steps that the United States can take now to ensure our access to space and secure our comparative advantage in space -- and in the world. True, development of a new launch system will take time; there are no overnight answers. However, a combination of existing capabilities and dynamic development of new capabilities by the private sector can serve as a foundation for eliminating any capability gap in the U.S. space program. Indeed, new entrants are coming online using launch vehicle systems fully designed and manufactured in America.

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed savior when America was mostly Anglo-Protestant, at least in Hollywood's eyes. An androgynous, meek-and-mild messiah during the anything-goes 1970s. A studly action-figure hero after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Flip through the gallery above, and you'll see what I mean.

Flipping through the channels on a day millions of Western Christians celebrated the resurrection of their savior, viewers could choose from \"Killing Jesus,\" a NatGeo production rebroadcast Sunday on Fox. \"A.D.,\" NBC's sequel to the blockbuster miniseries \"The Bible,\" and \"Finding Jesus,\" CNN's addition to the ever-burgeoning body of Christ-centered TV fare. Does God have a prayer in Hollywood? What unites these disparate projects, besides a recognition that Jesus always draws an audience and the Good Book is good for business, is the type of men chosen to play Christ. They are brawny, with brown eyes and dark complexions. They look like men who could be carpenters, if not in Nazareth, than at least in the Mediterranean neighborhood. Haaz Sleiman, from \"Killing Jesus,\" was born and raised in Lebanon. He's also Muslim, a fact that annoyed some Christians, who took to Twitter to voice their displeasure. Adam Bond, a British actor of mixed heritage, including Native American, portrays Jesus during the historical reenactments in \"Finding Jesus.\" And Juan Pablo Di Pace -- a Argentinian named after the late St. Pope John Paul II -- takes a starring role in \"A.D.,\" replacing Diogo Morgado, dubbed \"hot Jesus,\" by some, \"smarmy Jesus\" by others. You could make the case that authenticity is the coin of our current entertainment realm, and that filmmakers are competing to make their work as historically accurate as possible. Contemporary viewers are too savvy to stomach the fake beards and odd accents that littered the camels-and-sandals epics of eras past. But there's another, deeper meaning behind our new, multicultural Jesuses, scholars say. \"Filmmakers and networks are in touch with the fact that the complexion of America has changed,\" said Stephenson Humphries-Brooks, a religion scholar and author of \"Cinematic Savior: Hollywood's Making of the American Christ.\" \"A large number of Americans are people of color: Latinos and Middle Easterners and people from India,\" Humphries-Books continued. \"That means the audience base is shifting in various and important ways.\" The audience base may be shifting, but it's also tuning in.

In Zaria, a city in northern Nigeria, a team of students from the Ahmadu Bello University are currently applying the final touches to the \"ABUCAR 2.\" The students used locally available materials to build the vehicle, and even included recycled electrical components in the engine. While it runs on gasoline, the engine maximizes fuel efficiency and produces fewer emissions than normal cars. \"We are sure we have a great car,\" says the project's supervisor Muhammad Dauda. \"Now we are focusing on making some final enhancements to hone the driving strategy -- this is just like Formula One.\" Their compact creation, which was built over five months, will travel to The Netherlands in May to compete in the European leg of this year's Shell Eco-marathon -- the motoring competition rewards those who travel the longest distance using the least amount of fuel. But the team is also working towards a hybrid petro-electric motor, which they hope to unveil in 2016. At low speeds the vehicle will be powered by electricity alone, but at higher speeds both electric and petrol components will work together. Between extremes, excess power generated by the engine recharges the batteries that power the electric motor. It's the model that Toyota uses in the Prius. Green-focused designs like these are increasingly needed on the continent, as some studies say 50% of global emissions of organic carbon could come from Africa in 2030. At May's Shell Eco-marathon, ABUCAR's team will be hoping to race past the sleek \"Autonov III\" creation from the University of Lagos. Painted the colors of the Nigerian flag and powered by a solar battery, the car's aerodynamic teardrop shape helps minimize drag. Constructing earlier iterations of this vehicle was put under stress in 2013 when university teachers went on a six month strike, but the industrial action didn't stop the team from tinkering with the electric engine. \"We've used small tires to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle,\" explains team manager Chukwuemeka Isiogu. \"We've trained ourselves to just think about fuel efficiency and create the most efficient vehicle.\" Other eco-friendly engineers are less about sleek and more focused on comfort.

The former North Charleston police officer is charged with murder in the death of 50-year-old Walter Scott. In the first recording, an unidentified officer talks to Slager about what might happen. \"Once they get here, it'll be real quick. They're gonna tell you, you're gonna be off for a couple days and we'll come back and interview you then. They're not gonna ask you any type of questions right now.

Gray died of a spinal injury Sunday, exactly one week after he was taken into custody. Demonstrators marched to a local police station that was protected by barricades. One man was arrested after crossing that barricade, but the protest was peaceful. Among the crowd were members of Gray's family, including his mother. She held her head and cried. Many of the protesters clasped hands, and raised them in a show of support. \"Make some noise for Freddie Gray,\" one man shouted into a megaphone. \"We won't stop,\" said another. \"We have the power and, of course, today shows we have the numbers.\" Speaking to CNN's \"Anderson Cooper 360,\" Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she understands where the protesters are coming from. She understands their frustration. \"Mr. Gray's family deserves justice, and our community deserves an opportunity to heal, to get better, and to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again,\" she said. Earlier in the day, the Baltimore Police Department released the names of six police officers suspended with pay. They are: Lt.

Of the six officers, three were on bikes and initially approached Gray, another made eye contact with Gray, another officer joined in the arrest after it was initiated and one drove the police van, Kowalczyk said. The autopsy hasn't yielded many answers in Gray's death -- in fact, it's prompted more questions -- but Baltimore's mayor pledged Tuesday to find out how the 25-year-old died after being arrested a week prior. \"I'm going to make sure that as we get information that we can confirm, we're going to put that information out in the public,\" Mayor Rawlings-Blake said. \"I want people to understand that I have no interest in hiding information, holding back information.\" She's angry, she said, and among the questions she wants answered are: Why did police stop Gray in the first place?

+{"article": "(CNN)President Abraham Lincoln never lost his ardor for the United States to remain united during the Civil War. In his Second Inaugural address he attempted to salve the nation with an eloquent summation of his philosophy and plans for putting it into practice. \"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right,\" he orated, \"let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nations' wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.\" The spirit of Lincoln's second inaugural was self-evident on April 9, 1865 -- 150 years ago -- when Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee dramatically surrendered his approximately 28,000 troops to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse (McLean House) in Virginia. Over 600,000 Americans -- Northerners and Southerners alike -- had perished in the bloody Civil War. But the carnage was now about to end. The historic meeting between Grant and Lee began with pleasantries about the weather and their mutual service in the Mexican War. The good fellowship was palpable. Lee, in fact, had to abruptly remind the chatty Grant about the diplomatic business at hand. After all, they were at Appomattox Courthouse to hash out terms of surrender. Grant purposely ended up being generous to Confederate soldiers. They would be paroled, not condemned to prison camps. Rebel officers were even allowed to maintain their sidearms. Personal property of Southerners would now be respected. Even rations were provided by Grant for Lee's hungry soldiers. It was Palm Sunday and in the spirit of Christian reconciliation Grant ordered that no celebration occur within Union Army ranks. \"The Confederates were now our prisoners,\" Grant wrote, \"and we did not want to exult over their downfall.\" The myth-making about Appomattox started from the moment Lee left the courthouse on his horse to travel to Richmond. Surrendering hadn't been easy for Lee. Sullen from defeat, his own family property in Arlington had been confiscated by Union forces (converted into a Union cemetery with lines of white crosses on the lawn). All 11,000 acres of his Virginia land holdings had been stripped from him by the U.S. government. With no real home, Lee rode to Richmond, depressed and destitute, rendezvousing with his sick wife Mary Curtis Lee at a spare apartment. Remarkably, the stoic Lee didn't express bitterness in public. When news reached Lee that Lincoln had been murdered, in fact, he was distraught, calling it \"a crime\" that was \"unexampled\" and \"deplorable.\" Although much remained unresolved between the victors and vanquished, the little courthouse became a symbol of unity, just like the \"Star Spangled Banner\" from the War of 1812.

Simply put, I have a better life now than I did before. But my journey across the Mediterranean, like those of thousands of other migrants, wasn't easy. Here's my story. It all started late last year when I lost my job in Dubai. My work visa had expired, and I had nowhere else to go. I'm Syrian, and returning to Syria wasn't an option -- going back means you either have to kill or be killed. But Syrians don't need visas to get into Turkey, so Turkey it was. I arrived in the country in December with an old dream in my mind: reaching Europe. While in Istanbul, I discovered many Facebook pages about illegal smuggling from Turkey to Italy by sea. All of them mentioned that Mersin, a port city on the southern border, was the jump off point, so I made my way there. I met a Syrian guy in a hotel in Mersin who had already paid money to one smuggler and was planning to depart within a few days. He told me his smuggler was a decent man with a great reputation. Reputation: It was a funny thing to hear for the first time, the thought that these people, who I always considered to be little more than criminals, were concerned about what people thought of them. But why wouldn't they be? It's a long-term business, and the Syrian conflict isn't ending anytime soon. So I decided to meet the guy. We spoke about terms of payment and agreed on a fee of $6,500. Some of the money would be deposited into an insurance company, with the usual transaction fees. When I reached Italy the money would be released to the smuggler -- or, if I changed my mind, I'd be able to get some of it back. \"Be ready all day, every day for the next few days, because you might receive the call to go,\" the smuggler told me. One evening a few days later, I got the call and my journey began. They gathered 100 men and women in five buses and drove us to the smuggling point. It was far from Mersin. We walked for 30 minutes, through rough terrain and orange farms near the beach, in darkness to avoid detection by police. The idea was to take us in three small boats to the main ship. I still remember an old lady, barely able to walk, with her two sons, marching along as fast as they could to try to reach the boats. They were told that if they didn't walk faster, the boat would leave without them. I asked myself so many time what could possibly drive a normal person to put himself and his family in this kind of danger. I decided that anyone with a past but no future was capable of doing crazy things. Finally we reached the boat.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott called the executions \"cruel and unnecessary\" because both men, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, had been \"fully rehabilitated\" during a decade in prison. Abbott didn't say what permanent actions, if any, would be taken against Indonesia. \"This is a dark moment in the relationship, but I'm sure the relationship will be restored,\" he said. One of the men's Indonesian lawyers, Todung Mulya Lubis tweeted his apologies. \"I failed. I lost,\" he said. \"I'm sorry.\" Indonesian President Joko Widodo appeared to shrug off the diplomatic recall, telling reporters that \"our legal sovereignty must be respected. We also respect other countries' legal sovereignty.\" Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said the country had no plans to recall its own ambassador in response. \"This is a legal case. This is not a political case so at this very stage, we do not have any plan to call our ambassador back from Canberra,\" he said. Six other inmates were executed, including Nigerians Raheem Salami, Silvester Obiekwe Nwolise, Okwudil Oyatanze and Martin Anderson; Indonesian Zainal Abidin and Brazilian Rodrigo Gularte, who was said to be mentally ill. On Wednesday, Brazil's foreign ministry released a statement expressing \"deep sadness\" at Gularte's execution, saying that Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff had urged her Indonesian counterpart to spare him due to his \"psychiatric condition.\" Gularte is the second Brazilian to be executed in Indonesia this year, with the first -- Marco Archer Cardoso Moreira -- prompting the country to recall its ambassador for consultations. The Indonesian government had originally announced that nine prisoners would be executed, but at the last moment Filipina Mary Jane Veloso was spared. \"We are so happy, so happy. I thought I had lost my daughter already but God is so good. Thank you to everyone who helped us,\" her mother Celia Veloso told CNN. Philippines embassy officials said Veloso would be returned to Yogyakarta prison in Central Java later on Wednesday. No reason was given for the reprieve but it may relate to developments in her case late on Tuesday. CNN Philippines reported that Veloso's alleged recruiter, Maria Kristina Sergio and her partner Julius Lacanilao, surrendered to authorities. The report said Sergio had denied all accusations in relation to Veloso's case. Veloso's lawyers claimed the mother-of-two was the victim of human trafficking. They say she was offered work in Malaysia, but when she arrived she was told the job had been filled and wasn't aware the bag she'd been given for the return journey to Indonesia was filled with drugs. A tenth prisoner, Frenchman Serge Atlaoui, was also scheduled to be executed but his case was delayed while a court considers a legal challenge.

+{"article": "(CNN)Twenty years ago, on April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a massive truck bomb in front of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. The attack killed 168 men, women and children, injured hundreds more, and remains the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history. The attack's aftermath saw a storm of media coverage with themes such as \"attack on the heartland\" and America's \"lost innocence.\" In fact, the bombing took the country by surprise. It wasn't simply the scale of the tragedy that drew attention, but the fact that the bombing exposed something new: American citizens targeting their own government with a deadliness hitherto unseen. The public became aware of the true danger of the extreme right. Reports connected McVeigh and his accomplice Terry Nichols to anti-government ideology movements, such as the militia movement, as well as to white supremacist causes. Law enforcement also played catchup. The Federal Bureau of Investigation's 1994 annual report on terrorism had given short shrift to the extreme right. Its coverage of domestic terrorism focused on the activities of Puerto Rican radicals and animal rights and environmental extremists. In contrast, the report spent only a paragraph describing the threat from right-wing extremists. It ignored the rapidly growing militia and sovereign citizen movements, and made no reference to events in Idaho and Texas. In late 1992, at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, a standoff between U.S. Marshals and Randy Weaver's family resulted in the death of a marshal, a young boy and the boy's unarmed mother. And in 1993, federal agents launched an ill-conceived raid on property near Waco, Texas, belonging to the Branch Davidians sect, leading to a bloody shootout and a 51-day standoff, which ended in the death of almost all the Davidians, including a number of children. These incidents infuriated the entire extreme right, which saw them as deliberate attempts by the government to kill American citizens. After Oklahoma City, everything changed. The FBI shifted its priorities, hiring new agents and reassigning staff to work on domestic terrorism cases. It significantly expanded the number of Joint Terrorism Task Forces and went to Congress with a lengthy \"want\" list. The effort actually paid off. Increased scrutiny of right-wing extremists resulted in a flurry of arrests for everything from terrorist plots to hate crimes. Though it had paid a high price to do so, it seemed that the United States had recognized the dangers that right-wing extremists posed. However, just six years after the Oklahoma City bombing, an event occurred that pushed to the background those lessons so dearly won. The September 11, 2001, terror attacks -- attacks of a scale and ferocity that dwarfed even that of the Oklahoma City bombing -- commanded the full attention of the nation. The government, law enforcement, the news media and the public all rushed to grapple with the issue of Islamic extremism. Unfortunately, rather than expanding national attention to encompass the dangers of both radical Islam and right-wing extremism, the 9/11 attacks simply shifted attention away from the extreme right. Certainly, the 9/11 attacks warranted great attention. They made", "summary": "Twenty years ago, on April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh set off a massive bomb in Oklahoma City .

The fabric didn't include two of the heroes from the movie: the female characters, Honey Lemon and GoGo. So Veronica decided to send an email to Springs Creative, the company that makes the fabric, saying that as a woman and an engineer, she was offended.

I was 12 years old, and my younger sister and I were with our parents attending a peaceful demonstration in downtown Miami near the courthouse. We were there to protest the acquittal of four police officers in the beating death of unarmed motorcyclist Arthur McDuffie. I had learned the word \"acquittal\" just that day. It meant they wouldn't be held responsible. Community leaders were gathered at the front, speaking to a crowd that was in shock and full of anger and despair. The trial had been covered extensively, and nobody could believe that the fatal beating -- with the extent of the physical wounds to McDuffie's head and body -- could be justified or excused. I started to hear rumblings coming from around the perimeter of the immediate crowd. There was shouting and cursing. Bottle throwing. Then a car was turned over and set on fire. That was Miami 35 years ago, but it could just as easily have been Baltimore this week. The Miami riots of 1980 were the first major \"race riots\" since the wave of riots spread across the nation in the 1960s. Harlem 1964: Police shooting of 15-year-old James Powell. Watts 1965: Arrest of 21-year-old Marquette Frye for drunken driving. Newark 1967: Police beating of John Smith while under arrest. Detroit 1967: Police raid on a \"blind pig\" after-hours bar. Then the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, and Baltimore and 125 other cities erupted in flames. The immediate catalysts for the waves of riots in the 1960s before the death of Dr. King were police action, or, more specifically, perceived unjust police action. That was true in Miami in 1980 after the acquittal of the police officers. And the same in Los Angeles in 1992 after the acquittal of police officers for the beating of motorist Rodney King. Wednesday marks the 23rd anniversary of the start of the Los Angeles riots. And now we have Baltimore 2015, with the death of suspect Freddie Gray in police custody.

The account she offered differs from that provided by Italian authorities on Sunday. They said that as the cargo ship King Jacob approached late Saturday, migrants on the smaller boat moved to one side, hoping to be saved, and caused the vessel to capsize. Mark Clark -- a communications executive representing OSM Maritime Group, the company that manages the King Jacob -- denied that the cargo ship caused the migrant boat to capsize. He said he also believed that people on the migrant boat rushed to one side, causing many to fall off. The cargo ship was going very slowly as it approached, hardly making any waves, Clark told CNN. It deployed rescue boats, a gangway, nets and life rings, he said. The conflicting accounts of the chaotic events highlight the challenges faced by commercial vessels that are often called upon to help in the escalating migrant boat crisis in the Mediterranean. Asami said the survivors whom she and her colleagues spoke to were \"consistent\" in what they were saying. She said their accounts made it \"credible to think\" that between 800 and 850 people were on board the boat that capsized roughly 110 kilometers (70 miles) north of Libya. Previous estimates had put the number of people aboard anywhere between 700 and 950.

It celebrates the completion of Christ's mission of salvation in the Crucifixion and Resurrection. By dying on Good Friday, Christ atoned for the sins of others; by rising from the grave on Sunday, Christ conquered death. Simple enough and reason for Christians to celebrate. But, like Christmas with its tree, ornaments and Santa Claus, Easter has picked up its peripheral trappings -- the bunny and colorful eggs. Unlike Christmas, it doesn't fall on the same day every year but shifts around in spring depending upon cosmic events. And that blood moon we just had -- is it pure coincidence that it fell around Easter? (No.) Here's a journey from the Vatican to the Holy Land, around the moon and the Earth's tilting axis, to Germany and the United States to try to explain the complex holiday called Easter. And you'll learn to how to color Easter eggs with Kool-Aid. Let's start at the Vatican. At the Vatican, Holy Week began with Palm Sunday last week and culminated in Easter Sunday Mass with multiple celebrations in between to mark the final week of Christ's mortal life. Jesus rode on the back of a donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday where crowds celebrated him as the Messiah and laid down palm branches in his path. But the crowd and the Romans turned on him in the course of the week, according to the Bible, leading to his crucifixion and resurrection. Rain sprinkled down on worshipers standing under a sea of umbrellas as they gathered in a gray St. Peter's Square on Sunday to partake in the outdoor services held by Pope Francis. Afterward, the Pontiff took a moment to tell the world to do right those in need in his Urbi et Orbi address. Francis lamented the suffering of people in many of the conflicts around the globe. From Nigeria to South Sudan, Iraq to Ukraine, he expressed hope that violence would end. Francis also doesn't put on airs. This week he washed the feet of believers, repeating the Biblical account of a woman, a sinner, washing Jesus' feet and anointing them with oil. Let's move on to old Jerusalem, the birthplace of Easter. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher in old Jerusalem unifies the spot where Christ was crucified -- Calvary -- with his tomb, or sepulcher. On Sunday, Catholics and Armenian Christians celebrated the Resurrection there. In the morning, the Latin Patriarch, the Archbishop of Jerusalem, entered the basilica. Then mass was held followed by a procession. But a large group of indigenous Christians didn't join them. It's not quite Easter yet in the Holy Land for Eastern Orthodox Christians. They'll be celebrating a week from now, because they determine Easter's date by a different calendar than Western Christians -- the Julian calendar.

+{"article": "(CNN)In a tragic echo of the catastrophic events in Haiti in 2010, a powerful earthquake struck one of the poorest nations on Earth today. The latest estimates from seismologists put the magnitude at 7.9, which would actually makes it about 40% larger than the 7.8 currently being reported. That's less than half the size of the previous major event nearby in 1934, which killed around 10,000 people. Unfortunately, it is quite possible the number of dead in Kathmandu could rise to match it. We knew this disaster was coming eventually. Geophysicists have long monitored how fast the Earth's plates are moving, and we know that the entire subcontinent of India is being driven slowly but surely underneath Nepal and Tibet at a speed of around 1.8 inches per year. It's the reason Everest exists. Latest updates on Nepal earthquake . Over millions of years, the squeezing has crushed the Himalayas like a concertina, raising mountains to heights of several miles and triggering earthquakes on a regular basis from Pakistan to Burma. Saturday's quake was neither unusual nor unexpected, although it was larger than most. In the 81 years since the 1934 Bihar earthquake, the land mass of India has been pushed about 12 feet into Nepal. Think of all that movement getting stored in a giant spring lying under Nepal. The spring is stuck on a broad, rough surface which we call a fault plane (a fault line is what we see when it emerges from the ground). Fallen: Nepal's historic landmarks . Sometimes, energy stored in the spring gets big enough to slip catastrophically, releasing all that pent-up strain and generating shaking strong enough to destroy buildings and kill people over a huge area. The bigger the area that slips, and the larger the pent-up energy, the greater the damage. Saturday's slip took place over an area about 1,000 to 2,000 square miles over a zone spanning the cities of Kathmandu and Pokhara in one direction, and almost the entire Himalaya mountain width in the other. A part of India slid about one to 10 feet northwards and underneath Nepal in a matter of seconds. We have this kind of detailed data thanks to major advances in seismology over recent years. Using measurements of shaking recorded on seismometers scattered across the world and sent in near or real time to agencies like the U.S. Geological Survey and to universities such as Columbia, we can infer the location and magnitude of a big earthquake very quickly. Avalanches hamper Everest rescue efforts . Not just that: we can now estimate the pattern and speed of rapid sliding across its fault surface. What used to take months of careful academic study now takes minutes of computation.

+{"article": "(CNN)The justices of the Supreme Court practice politics as much as law -- and that will be clearer than ever when the issue of same-sex marriage comes before the court on Tuesday. Public opinion on same-sex marriage has turned upside down since the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts first legalized the practice in 2003. Overwhelming opposition has turned into substantial majority support, especially among young people of all political persuasions. Even the name of the issue has changed -- to marriage equality. Of course, the Constitution has not changed since 2003, a point that will surely be made by such opponents of same-sex marriage as Justice Antonin Scalia. To originalists like Scalia -- those who believe the Constitution should be interpreted only as it was originally understood by the framers -- the idea of a constitutional right to same-sex marriage is anathema. To them, the Constitution means only what it meant to those who wrote it -- and James Madison (or the authors of the 14th Amendment, just after the Civil War) never gave a thought to whether they were granting gay people the right to marry. But the Supreme Court has always been about a lot more than the intentions of the framers. And public opinion is just one of the extrajudicial factors that the justices sometimes take into consideration. In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that public schools could no longer segregate students by race, even though the authors of the 14th Amendment clearly considered segregated schools to be permissible. Chief Justice Earl Warren, who wrote the opinion in Brown v. Board of Education, recognized that the world had changed, especially in light of the Cold War. Warren knew that segregated schools damaged the United States' reputation in the contest for hearts and minds around the world, and he steered the court accordingly. Warren's motives had nothing to do with the framers' intentions, and little to do with the words of the Constitution itself, but these kinds of motivations have been common throughout the history of the Supreme Court. There are risks, of course, when the justices are guided by more than the text and history of the Constitution. Like everyone else, the justices have imperfect instincts when it comes to measuring public attitudes. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a fervent supporter of abortion rights for women, but she has expressed reservations about the court's decision in Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that required all 50 states to legalize abortion. She has argued that the court interrupted a political process for legalization that was already underway, and that the case ignited a backlash that wound up hurting the cause of abortion rights. Her position is debatable on several scores. Abortion rights were not ascendant everywhere in the '70s, and opponents were already well mobilized.

The exchanges between the city's top court clerk and two police officers were discovered during a U.S. Justice Department investigation of racial prejudice in the city's police and judicial system. The emails -- which make offensive references to President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama as well as Muslims and minorities -- were obtained by the Washington Post on Thursday after a public records request. CNN reviewed them Friday. Police Capt. Rick Henke and Sgt. William Mudd resigned early last month after the emails were discovered as part of the evidence in the Justice Department's scathing Ferguson report. The city's top court clerk, Mary Ann Twitty, was fired in connection with the emails, officials said. One email showed Ronald Reagan, an actor before becoming President, feeding a chimp in the 1951 comedy \"Bedtime for Bonzo,\" with the caption: \"Rare photo of Ronald Reagan babysitting Barack Obama in 1962.\" Another showed a photo of bare-chested dancing women, apparently in Africa, with the caption \"Michelle Obama's High School Reunion!\" A June 2011 email described a man trying to put his dogs on welfare because the canines were \"mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and have no ... clue who their Daddies are.\" Some critics have called for the department to be disbanded.

+{"article": "(CNN)Everybody loves a good comeback story -- especially one that's dino-sized. After its name was booted from science books for more than a century, a new study suggests that the Brontosaurus belongs to its own genera, and therefore deserves its own name. O.C. Marsh first named the Brontosaurus in 1879, after he received 25 crates of bones discovered at Como Bluff, Wyoming, according to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. Similar to, though not as large as the Apatosaurus discovered a couple of years prior, Marsh named the dinosaur, \"Brontosaurus,\" or \"thunder lizard.\" Apatosaurus had three sacral vertebrae in its hip region and Brontosaurus had five, according to the museum's website, so Marsh gave the dinosaurs two different names. Later it was discovered that the number of sacral vertebrae is related to age: as the animal gets older, two of the vertebrae fuse to the sacrum. Paleontologist Elmer Riggs concluded in 1903 that the Brontosaurus was really a young Apatosaurus, and therefore must go by that name, according to the museum. Emanuel Tschopp, a paleontologist at the Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal, led this latest study, which took five years and included visits to 20 museums in Europe and the United States to collect data. By examining \"500 anatomical traits,\" Tschopp said he was able to \"reconstruct the family tree\" of Diplodocids -- the family Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus belong to. Tschopp \"looked at every single specimen,\" according to Jacques Gauthier, curator of vertebrate paleontology at Yale Peabody Museum and \"noted their characteristics,\" plugging data into an algorithm that revealed \"five species in the group of Diplodocids.\" Two of them are Brontosaurus-like and three are Apatosaurus-like, Gauthier said. While his findings have earned the excitement of Brontosaurus fans everywhere, Tschopp said he is \"expecting a debate about the case of Brontosaurus.\" \"We think we have good evidence,\" he said, \"But I know there are other research groups that do not completely agree.\" For Gauthier, Tschopp's discovery means changes are coming to the original Brontosaurus skeleton that has lived at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History since 1936. \"We're definitely going to have to change the label,\" he said.", "summary": "Scientist: Fossils once renamed should again be classified as Brontosaurus .

Mozambican Emmanuel Sithole was walking down a street when four South Africans surrounded him. Sithole pleaded for mercy, but it was already too late. The attackers bludgeoned him with a wrench, stabbed him with knives, all in broad daylight. And Oatway had captured it all on his camera. \"They looked like hardened thugs, just by their intensity, the way they moved, the expressions on their faces,\" Oatway told CNN. \"They wanted one thing and that was to kill Emmanuel.

From his point of view, ISIS militants might be just hours away from taking the key Iraqi city of Ramadi. Fierce fighting has engulfed Ramadi, which lies only about 70 miles (113 kilometers) west of Baghdad and is the capital of Anbar province, Iraq's Sunni heartland. Essawi, the deputy head of the Anbar Provincial Council, told CNN from inside the city Wednesday that it's unclear how much longer government troops can hold their front lines against the ISIS offensive. The politician said he was on a front line himself, armed with a machine gun. Security was \"collapsing rapidly in the city,\" and he begged the Iraqi government for reinforcements and the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS for air support. He stressed that urgent support from the military and security forces is needed to save the city. \"This is what we warned Baghdad of what's going to happen,\" Essawi told CNN by phone, referring to the Iraqi government at the capital. \"Where is Baghdad? Where is al-Abadi?\" His plea for help comes the day after Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi met with U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington to seek more support for the fight against ISIS. \"Just Allah knows if we will survive this,\" Essawi said. According to the Anbar official, at least 10 Iraqi security forces were killed and more than 100 others were wounded in the fighting against ISIS on Wednesday. The extremist group's offensive in Ramadi shows its resilience despite months of U.S.-led airstrikes and its recent defeat by Iraqi forces in the northern city of Tikrit. ISIS fighters have Ramadi under pressure from several angles. Essawi said ISIS militants made significant advances Wednesday in three areas east of Ramadi: Albu Soda, Albu Ghanem and parts of Soufia, which leads to central Ramadi. Later, he said that militants were rolling into the center of Ramadi. Over the weekend, the militants seized control of areas north of Ramadi. Routes south of the city were taken some months ago. That leaves only areas to the west of Ramadi in the hands of government forces, but those positions are under threat, Essawi warned. The recent fighting has driven a steady stream of refugees out of the city. On Wednesday, some residents packed what they could into metal carts as they prepared to flee on foot. People also were fleeing the areas where ISIS was advancing east of Ramadi. At least 150,000 people have already fled since Wednesday morning, causing huge traffic jams on the roads leading outside the city, according to Essawi. A CNN team met with three families that had fled an ISIS assault in the Albu Ghanem area. Those families said Iraqi security and military forces withdrew from Albu Ghanem after a battle with ISIS, which took over the area quickly.

+{"article": "(CNN)The United States and its negotiating partners reached a very strong framework agreement with Iran in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Thursday that limits Iran's nuclear program in such a way as to effectively block it from building a nuclear weapon. Expect pushback anyway, if the recent past is any harbinger. Just last month, in an attempt to head off such an agreement, House Speaker John Boehner invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to preemptively blast it before Congress, and 47 senators sent a letter to the Iranian leadership warning them away from a deal. The debate that has already begun since the announcement of the new framework will likely result in more heat than light. It will not be helped by the gathering swirl of dubious assumptions and doubtful assertions. Let us address some of these: . The most misleading assertion, despite universal rejection by experts, is that the negotiations' objective at the outset was the total elimination of any nuclear program in Iran. That is the position of Netanyahu and his acolytes in the U.S. Congress. But that is not and never was the objective. If it had been, there would have been no Iranian team at the negotiating table. Rather, the objective has always been to structure an agreement or series of agreements so that Iran could not covertly develop a nuclear arsenal before the United States and its allies could respond. The new framework has exceeded expectations in achieving that goal. It would reduce Iran's low-enriched uranium stockpile, cut by two-thirds its number of installed centrifuges and implement a rigorous inspection regime. Another dubious assumption of opponents is that the Iranian nuclear program is a covert weapons program. Despite sharp accusations by some in the United States and its allies, Iran denies having such a program, and U.S. intelligence contends that Iran has not yet made the decision to build a nuclear weapon. Iran's continued cooperation with International Atomic Energy Agency inspections is further evidence on this point, and we'll know even more about Iran's program in the coming months and years because of the deal. In fact, the inspections provisions that are part of this agreement are designed to protect against any covert action by the Iranians. What's more, the rhetoric of some members of Congress has implied that the negotiations have been between only the United States and Iran (i.e., the 47 senators' letter warning that a deal might be killed by Congress or a future president). This of course is not the case. The talks were between Iran and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (United States, United Kingdom, France, China and Russia) plus Germany, dubbed the P5+1. While the United States has played a leading role in the effort, it negotiated the terms alongside its partners. If the agreement reached by the P5+1 is rejected by Congress, it could result in an unraveling of the sanctions on Iran and threaten NATO cohesion in other areas. Another questionable assertion is that this agreement contains a sunset clause, after which Iran will be free to", "summary": "Richard Klass: Iran framework agreement on nukes is strong, but opponents will cast doubts on this and try to obscure its facts .

+{"article": "(CNN)There was a larger message in the article about a purported gang rape that Rolling Stone retracted on Sunday night -- a part of the story that was never disputed: The University of Virginia is under continuing investigation over how it handles sexual assault on campus. The school has never expelled a single student for sexual assault -- even when the student admitted to it. The Virginia attorney general asked the law firm of O'Melveny & Myers to take a look at how the university historically handled allegations of sexual assault by its students. That includes how UVA officials handled the allegations in the discredited Rolling Stone article by a student the magazine called \"Jackie,\" especially since the school knew about the allegations for more than a year before the article came out. The alleged gang rape at a fraternity house was in 2012, and Jackie told the university about it the next spring. She started telling her story very publicly, including at a \"take back the night\" rally. But Charlottesville police didn't hear about it until after a separate incident in the spring of 2014, in which Jackie claimed someone threw a bottle that hit her in the face. When a university dean arranged for her to talk to police about that alleged assault, she also told the story of the alleged 2012 incident. In both cases, police said Jackie refused to cooperate and so they could not pursue the case. But more women came forward to talk about their experiences -- women whose stories were not as dramatic or horrific as Jackie's. Rolling Stone's story opened up a conversation about the topic, and then women began coming forward to talk about a culture on campus that was not sensitive to victims.

That's why an experienced climbing group from the Indian army plans to trek up the 8,850-meter mountain to pick up at least 4,000 kilograms (more than 8,000 pounds) of waste from the high-altitude camps, according to India Today. The mountain is part of the Himalaya mountain range on the border between Nepal and the Tibet region. The 34-member team plans to depart for Kathmandu on Saturday and start the ascent in mid-May. The upcoming trip marks the 50th anniversary of the first Indian team to scale Mount Everest. \"Sadly, Mount Everest is now ... called the world's highest junkyard,\" Maj. Ranveer Singh Jamval, the team leader, told India Today. \"We will target the mountaineering waste from Camp 1 (19,695 feet) to the summit,\" said Jamval, who has scaled Mount Everest twice. \"There are old cylinders, tents, tins, packets, equipment and other mountaineering waste.

Taubman, a real estate developer who helped change the face of suburban life by popularizing upscale indoor shopping malls, died Friday at the age of 91.

Taubman embarked on multi-store developments in the 1950s, in places like Flint and Taylor, Michigan, and in 1961 broke ground on his first large mall, the 350,000-square-foot Arborland project in Ann Arbor. \"Demographically, I looked at the numbers, and as far as I was concerned we couldn't miss,\" he recalled in 2007. \"And we didn't.\" Indeed not. This year, Forbes estimated his net worth at $3.1 billion, and the company's U.S. malls generate average annual sales of $809 per square foot, according to the company's website. But if Alfred Taubman gained fame and amassed billions as one of the people who helped define suburban life, he gained notoriety along the way, as well. In 1983, he bought the renowned international auction house Sotheby's. And in 2002 he was jailed following a conviction for conspiring with rival auction house Christie's to fix auction house commission rates to maximize profits. He was released in 2003 after having served nine months in prison. He always maintained his innocence, saying one of his underlings had lied about him to keep from going to prison herself.

The NFL suspended the 30-year-old football star in November over allegations that last May he disciplined his son, who was 4 at the time, too harshly with a \"switch,\" or thin stick. In a letter, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told Peterson that his continued participation in the league was contingent on a number of requirements, including that he maintain \"an ongoing program of counseling and treatment as recommended by medical advisers,\" the NFL said Thursday. Also required of Peterson: Avoiding \"any further conduct that violates the (NFL's) personal conduct policy or other NFL policies.\" \"Any further violation of the personal conduct policy by Peterson would result in additional discipline, which could include suspension without pay or banishment from the NFL,\" the league said in a statement. Peterson played in one game last season, a 35-6 win against St. Louis in September, before the league put him on an exempt list September 17 -- keeping him off the field with pay -- in light of his indictment that month in the case. Initially charged with felony child abuse, Peterson pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault in November in Texas. The NFL then suspended him without pay and he lost his appeal of that sanction the next month. In February, a Minnesota district court judge vacated the decision that upheld his suspension, making Peterson eligible for reinstatement. Bleacher Report: Latest details, comments, reaction . The Vikings issued a brief statement in which they said they \"look forward to Adrian rejoining the Vikings.\" ESPN reported that the team will hold voluntary offseason workouts beginning Monday. The next Vikings' organized team activities begin in late May. It is unclear whether Peterson will attend. He has been unhappy with how the Vikings have handled the matter. Though Peterson dodged jail time with his no-contest plea, he received probation, community service and a $4,000 fine.

+{"article": "(CNN)People have long underestimated the athleticism necessary for golf. But over the last decade, with fit golfers like Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, and now Jordan Spieth all winning the Masters, the training perspective on golf is shifting. There's a particular emphasis on the functional movement required to execute the perfect swing, which is why yoga is increasingly appealing to golfers. During the Masters, Spieth demonstrated optimal movement in two key areas that enhance swing power and fluid control while decreasing the risk of back and knee injuries: mid-back mobility and internal hip rotation. Equally important, he did it while maintaining a stable low back and integrated core strength as the foundation for expressing his swing mobility. Related: Yoga for triathletes . Remember Tiger Wood's low-back problem earlier this year? Tiger blamed a lack of glute (primary buttock muscle) firing for locking up his back, but attempting to rotate from his low back instead of moving functionally from his mid back or hips likely exacerbated the issue. When golfers have mobility limitations in their mid back or hips, they compensate with their low back and knees, which not only hampers play but often leads to pain and injury. Want the mobility to swing like Spieth and avoid the back and knee issues that commonly plague golfers? Try these three yoga-based moves I use with my PGA clients to address the key areas of the swing. Trains internal hip rotation; stabilizes and lengthens lower back muscles; stretches upper back and shoulders; encourages ankle mobility . Start in a neutral all-fours position with your hips over your knees and your shoulders above your wrists. Engage your deep core muscles to stabilize your low back. Extend your right leg straight out to the side with your toes pointing forward and the sole of your foot down. Exhale as you sit your hips back toward your heels as far as you can go comfortably without knee, hip or back pain. Inhale as you bring your body weight forward again and internally rotate from your right hip to come up onto your toes (as pictured). Be sure the rotation is coming from your hip, not your lower back, knees or ankles. Exhale and return your hips back towards your heels and the sole of your foot to the floor. Repeat the movement in synch with your breathing through five repetitions on each side. Promotes proper mid-back extension; strengthens shoulder girdle, opens front of shoulders and chest; lengthens low back . Lie prone (belly down) on your forearms with your elbows under your shoulders. Exhale as you press down through your forearms as though you are trying to slide your belly through your arms to create length in your low back. At the same time, move your shoulder blades down toward your waist. This will activate the mid-back muscles essential for thoracic spine extension while inhibiting the muscles of your upper neck and chest that limit mobility. Hold the posture for three long, deep breaths.

Federal police arrested Joao Vaccari Neto at his home in Sao Paulo on Wednesday morning. Vaccari faces charges of corruption and money laundering as part of the broader probe into corruption at Petrobras. Former executives who have turned state's evidence claim that construction companies paid large sums under the table to Petrobras officials and politicians in order to secure lucrative contracts with the oil giant. Vaccari has denied any wrongdoing and recently told a congressional commission that all donations to his party were legal and were reviewed by electoral authorities. Vaccari is the closest political figure to Rousseff so far implicated in the investigation. Rousseff herself has not been implicated, although she was the chairwoman of Petrobras when much of the alleged corruption took place. Rousseff has insisted she supports the probe and has not in any way interfered with the investigation. Sources quoted in Brazilian media have said investigators are looking at whether some of the bribes went toward Rousseff's election campaigns. Anger over what has ballooned into a multi-million dollar corruption scandal has eroded Rousseff's approval rating and prompted hundreds of thousands of Brazilians to take to the streets in protest.

Even so, many moviegoers said the final scenes of the new film, which earned a record $146 million over the weekend, still packed an emotional wallop. \"Not gonna lie, I shed a few tears at the end of Furious 7. The tribute to Paul Walker was very well done,\" one woman said Monday on Twitter. Hers was just one of a flood of messages on social media from people who said they got choked up during scenes featuring Walker, who died at 40 in a car crash in November 2013, before filming on \"Furious 7\" was completed. To finish Walker's scenes, the makers of the movie used body doubles, computer-generated images and even the actor's brothers. But it was the ending that really got to moviegoers. In finishing \"Furious 7,\" the film's producers sought to retire Walker's character, Brian, while paying homage to his role in the blockbuster \"Furious\" action franchise. But they felt that killing him off might appear exploitative. \"If they had gone down the other path, I think I would have refused to finish making this movie,\" director James Wan told BuzzFeed. Instead, the movie's makers chose to \"retire Paul's character in the most sincere and elegant way (they) could,\" Wan said. Their idea was to have Brian retire from his dangerous, high-octane lifestyle out of a sense of responsibility to his growing family with girlfriend Mia, who is pregnant with their second child. A scene late in the movie shows him and Mia playing on a beach with their son while the crew looks on -- essentially saying goodbye. Then his longtime buddy Dom reminisces about their years together, leading to a montage of Walker scenes from the first six movies. The song that plays over the montage is \"See You Again,\" a collaboration between Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. Co-star Vin Diesel shared the video for the song late Sunday on his Facebook page, where it has more than 1.5 million likes. Fans on Twitter and Facebook mostly praised the movie's ending as a fitting tribute -- and an emotionally wrenching one. \"Man I don't care how tough u are or how gangsta u claim to be . ...the last five minutes had me choked up in the movie theater ...

The documents show Bates had one Taser training class over a six-and-a-half-year period, took three firearms training classes and qualified 10 times, from 2009 to 2014, to use a handgun. His evaluations say he got along with other officers and related well with the public. \"Robert Bates has met all the requisite training required by Oklahoma to be a reserve deputy,\" said the lawyer, Scott Wood, in an interview with CNN. Read the documents . CNN could not independently confirm the documents were authentic. Wood said he got them from Bates, who asked the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office to provide his training records. The sheriff's office has turned down CNN's requests for the training documents, saying they are part of the investigation. Authorities did not reply Saturday to a request for comment on Wood's statements. The documents are important because Bates' training has become a central issue in the case. The lawyer for the family of the man who was killed claims that Bates, 73, wasn't qualified to be on the force, but received preferential treatment because he'd made donations to the agency and was a friend of the sheriff. The Tulsa World newspaper reported some supervisors in the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office were told to forge Bates' records and were reassigned when they refused. The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office has denied these allegations. The documents provided to CNN cover the period from July 22, 2008, to December 12, 2014. Bates had one Taser training class, on March 4, 2009, according to a document with a heading from The Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training, which sets the standards for training peace officers in the state. Wood said the council requires only one hands-on class on use of a Taser. Bates had weapons training once in September 2008 and twice in 2009, according to sheriff's office records that Bates obtained, Wood said. He scored high enough at the pistol range 10 times from September 24, 2009, to April 9, 2014, that he was allowed to carry a handgun while on duty, Wood said. Bates is charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of Eric Harris. Friends and family of Harris gathered in Tulsa on Saturday afternoon for a visitation and viewing. Bates is free on $25,000 bond. He says he meant to use his Taser on Harris during the April 2 arrest but accidentally fired his handgun instead. \"I shot him! I'm sorry!\" Bates is heard saying on video of the incident. Bates, an insurance company executive, has gone to his own defense. In an interview Friday with the \"Today\" show on NBC, Bates said he had the documentation to show he had completed the necessary training required of reserve deputies. \"That is absolutely the truth.

+{"article": "(CNN)On the stage of a TV studio in Phnom Penh, Cambodian-American Ly Sivhong is telling an engrossed audience a tragic, but familiar, story. On April 17, 1975 -- 40 years ago today -- life as Ly knew it was shattered when her hometown, the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, fell to the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime of the Communist Party of Kampuchea. Ly, then 13, was separated from her mother and two of her sisters who, along with virtually the entire population of Phnom Penh -- about two million people -- were sent on a forced march into the countryside to work. Ly never saw them again, nor learned what happened to them. But about 20,000 people died from execution, starvation or exhaustion during this exodus at gunpoint, according to war crimes prosecutors; the others were subjected to slave labor in rural camps once they reached their destination, where many met similar fates. The urban evacuation marked the first phase in the Khmer Rouge's revolutionary program of social engineering, intended to establish a new order -- free of money, family ties, religion, education, property and foreign influence. Aimed at creating an agrarian utopia, it would instead prove one of the worst genocides of the modern era, resulting in the deaths of at least 1.7 million Cambodians -- about a quarter of the country's population -- over the next four years. Ly remained in the capital with her father and four other siblings, three of whom would succumb to starvation and disease in the following years, before her father was shot to death before her eyes in 1979. His killing prompted Ly to leave her sole remaining family member, youngest sister Bo, in the care of a local couple. She set out on her own, making her way to a refugee camp and eventually to the United States. For more than 30 years she has wondered what happened to her baby sister. \"I think she was the only family member to survive,\" she says, with tears in her eyes. As she finishes her story, the producers usher a woman on the stage. It's Bo. Ly embraces her sister and both women sob. \"I missed you so much,\" Ly says. \"I've always searched for you,\" Bo tells her. Since production began five years ago, the television show, \"It's Not A Dream,\" has reunited members of 54 Cambodian families shattered by the genocide. More than 1,500 have sought its help. The series is just one example of the ways in which Cambodia's traumatized society is beginning to undertake the fraught, painful business of reckoning with their history. \"The scars of the Khmer Rouge are very deep and physical and present in modern Cambodia,\" said Theary Seng, a human rights lawyer whose parents were killed by the regime, and who moved to the U.S. as a refugee before returning to her homeland as an adult. She described the country as a \"land of orphans.\" For decades after the Khmer Rouge were driven from Phnom Penh by Soviet-backed Vietnamese forces in January 1979, the regime's crimes were", "summary": "Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, fell to the genocidal Khmer Rouge 40 years ago today .

True or False, Mercury is: . 1) The planet closest to the sun in our solar system . 2) So hot that water couldn't possibly exist there . 3) Something used in old-style glass thermometers . 4) A planet you don't think about very often . Answers: True, False, True (but not what we're talking about in this story) and I'm guessing No. 4 is true too. If you flunked the test, it might be because Mercury (the planet) suffers from bad (or very little) press. Or, maybe it's just bad lighting. Mercury orbits about 35,983,125 miles from the sun. Compare that to Earth -- we're about 93 million miles from the sun. Mercury's closeness to the sun makes it hard to see except at dawn and twilight. This may be one reason we don't think about it much. Venus, on the other hand, the planet between Earth and Mercury, appears to be the brightest planet in the sky. It's so bright it's been mistaken for an airplane. Pilot sends plane into dive after mistaking Venus for oncoming plane . But back to Mercury. It's getting some attention from the media now because it's about to get a visitor. The NASA spacecraft MESSENGER (an acronym for MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is about to crash onto Mercury. The probe was launched in 2004 and traveled more than six and a half years before it started orbiting Mercury on March 18, 2011. Now, MESSENGER is running out of fuel and NASA says it will hit the planet's surface at 8,750 mph (3.91 kilometers per second) around April 30. You won't be able to see it hit because Messenger will crash on the side of Mercury facing away from Earth. There's no way to save the spacecraft, but mission operators at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have been doing what they can to delay the inevitable. They've been using the little bit of fuel left on board to maneuver the spacecraft to keep it in orbit. They'll do one final maneuver on Friday, April 24. \"Following this last maneuver, we will finally declare the spacecraft out of propellant, as this maneuver will deplete nearly all of our remaining helium gas,\" mission systems engineer Daniel O'Shaughnessy said at a recent media briefing. \"At that point, the spacecraft will no longer be capable of fighting the downward push of the sun's gravity.\" But rather than mourn the loss, scientists held a briefing to celebrate the mission's success. \"For the first time in history we now have real knowledge about the planet Mercury that shows it to be a fascinating world as part of our diverse solar system,\" said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Miracles do happen, though, and not just in Hollywood. We're not talking about people who float aimlessly or run aground after running out of gas or being let down by faltering winds only to be picked up a few hours later by the U.S. Coast Guard. Much rarer are cases in which individuals become lost at sea long enough that they run out of whatever food and drinking water they'd brought aboard, if any.

And then everything -- his boat, his life -- turned upside down. Rescued man says he is 'utterly thankful' Not only did his boat capsize, but its mast broke, Jordan said. And so, too, did his shoulder. He bought time by rationing water, then collecting fresh water in a bucket. As to food, Jordan says he used laundry to trap and scoop up fish. And he rigged a makeshift mast and sail. But, Jordan said, \"It took so long. It moved so slowly.\" His sailboat would capsize two more times before crew members on a German-flagged container ship, the Houston Express, spotted Jordan about 200 miles off the North Carolina coast on Thursday.

+{"article": "(CNN)A brutal raid on the Garissa University College in Kenya has left nearly 150 people dead -- including students -- and dozens more wounded. Gunmen attacked the campus early Thursday as morning prayers were underway, shooting indiscriminately and taking hostages before being killed by security forces, officials said. The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi said Al-Shabaab militants have claimed responsibility. The harrowing attack comes just months after Al-Shabaab militants murdered non-Muslim workers in a Kenyan quarry. The terrorist group has been behind numerous attacks in the region. It has also recruited some Americans, particularly from the Somali-American community in Minnesota. Al-Shabaab is a Somali group that the United States designated as a foreign terrorist organization in March 2008. It wants to turn Somalia into a fundamentalist Islamic state, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. The group has been blamed for attacks in Somalia that have killed international aid workers, journalists, civilian leaders and African Union peacekeepers. It has a history of striking abroad, too. Before admitting to the Kenya quarry attack, Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the July 2010 suicide bombings in Kampala, Uganda, that killed more than 70 people, including a U.S. citizen, who had gathered at different locations to watch the broadcast of the World Cup final soccer match. The total size of Al-Shabaab is not clear. In 2011, a U.S. official who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the information said the group was estimated to control up to 1,000 fighters. A United Nations report identified one insurgent leader who is believed to command \"an estimated force of between 200 and 500 fighters,\" most of them Kenyans. And Al-Shabaab has links to other organizations. In February 2012, the group's leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane, and al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri released a video announcing the alliance of the two organizations. Decades of weak government amid grinding poverty have long made Somalia a target for radical Islamist groups. Al-Shabaab's predecessor was al-Ittihad al-Islami (AIAI), which worked to create an Islamist emirate in Somalia. It was partially funded by former al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. AIAI, which the U.S. State Department designated as a terrorist group, strengthened after the fall in 1991 of Siad Barre's military regime and during the years of lawlessness that ensued. In 2003, a rift erupted between AIAI's old guard -- which was seeking to establish a new political front -- and its younger members, who wanted to impose fundamental Islamic rule. (Al-Shabaab means \"the youth.\") That strife led the younger members to ally with a group of Sharia courts -- the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) -- that was seeking to impose order over a landscape marked by feuding warlords in the capital city. Working together, the Islamic Courts Union and Al-Shabaab gained control of Mogadishu in 2006. That sparked fears in neighboring Ethiopia that violence would spill over there, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. Those fears -- combined with a request from Somalia's transitional government -- led Ethiopian forces to enter Somalia in December 2006", "summary": "Al-Shabaab is an al-Qaeda-linked militant group based in Somalia .

+{"article": "(CNN)Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Bishop Robert Finn, who remained on the job for years after becoming the highest-ranking U.S. Catholic official convicted in connection with the church's long-running sex abuse scandal, the Vatican announced Tuesday. Finn, who led the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Missouri, was found guilty in 2012 of failure to report suspected child abuse. The case was tried by a judge instead of by jury because prosecutors wanted to protect the young victims' anonymity. Finn was convicted of one count but not a misdemeanor charge he'd also faced. He was put on two years' probation but was not forced to spend time in jail or pay a fine, according to the Jackson County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. Two charges against his diocese were dropped. At the time of his conviction, Finn said, according to CNN affiliate KCTV: \"I truly regret and am sorry for the hurt these events have caused.\" Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said the conviction and penalty, which included starting a $10,000 fund for sexual abuse counseling and mandatory training for church officials on how to report abuse, would have positive ramifications. \"We can be assured now that if an allegation of child abuse comes to the attention of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, there will be no hesitation to report it immediately to the proper authorities,\" Baker said. The case against Finn revolved around his diocese's dealings with Shawn Ratigan, an Independence, Missouri, priest who pleaded guilty in August 2012 to five child pornography charges. Church officials found disturbing images on Ratigan's computer but didn't notify police until nearly five months later, prosecutors said. In those interceding months, the priest kept on working. And Finn kept his job as bishop, even after his 2012 conviction. The official website of the Catholic diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph still listed him as its bishop Tuesday morning. Cardinal Sean O'Malley, who took over the abuse-shaken Boston archdiocese and has become one of the Pope's point men in the United States, has acknowledged the inconsistency that someone who wouldn't be allowed to teach Sunday school was still running an American diocese. \"It's a question that the Holy See needs to address urgently,\" O'Malley said in a \"60 Minutes\" interview in November. \"There's a recognition of that ... from Pope Francis.\" Candida Moss -- a professor at Notre Dame, a Catholic university in Indiana -- said it \"doesn't look very urgent\" that a decision came down only now, nearly three years after the conviction and five months after O'Malley's comments. Several factors may have played a role in the delay, including views from lawyers or power players at the Vatican, who may be reluctant to cast blame at high-level officials who don't report allegations quickly enough to government authorities. But the timing of the announcement may make sense given that it comes weeks after Francis came under fire for the installation of a new bishop in Chile, Juan Barros, despite protesters' claims he was complicit in sexual abuse cases there. \"It kind of shook Francis' reputation,\"", "summary": "Expert: Decision \"doesn't look very urgent,\" but it appears \"well-timed\" for Pope Francis .

+{"article": "(CNN)When drinkers in Clayton's, a beachfront bar in South Padre Island, Texas, belly up for a round of shots, bartender Casey Belue can usually guess what they'll order. It comes in a yellow-labeled bottle with a fire-breathing demon on it. It tastes like Big Red chewing gum. It's Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, and lately it's been as hot as its name. \"Fireball is number one, definitely. That's pretty much the chosen shot,\" said Belue, who enjoys it herself now and then. \"On an average night, we probably go through three or four bottles.\" If you're young -- say, under 35 -- this may not be news to you. Fireball, which didn't exist in its current form a decade ago, is the fastest-growing big brand of liquor in America. Retail sales more than doubled last year, and Fireball has come seemingly out of nowhere to become the sixth-most popular liquor brand in the U.S. as measured by retail sales -- ahead of such venerable labels as Jim Beam, Jose Cuervo and Grey Goose. And these figures don't include sales in bars, where Fireball has dethroned Jagermeister as America's party shot of choice. Or social media feeds, which fill with photos of Fireball-flavored revelry and #FireballFriday hashtags. \"Fireball is an incredible phenomenon. The growth of it has just been astounding,\" said Lew Bryson, managing editor of Whisky Advocate and author of several books on whiskey and other spirits. \"For a whiskey, this is unprecedented.\" To the uninitiated, Fireball is basically made from Canadian whisky, aged in used bourbon barrels, flavored with sweetener and spicy cinnamon. (The \"whisky\" spelling generally refers to Scotches or Canadian varieties, while \"whiskey\" refers to Irish or American styles.) Its slogan is \"Tastes like heaven, burns like hell,\" but that's an exaggeration. Fireball has a kick, but it doesn't burn as much as straight whiskeys, cheap tequilas or even the Atomic Fireball hard candy that helped inspire its name. It's also only 66 proof, or 33% alcohol -- less than most whiskeys. \"It's so easy to drink that you forget you're drinking alcohol. It's very sweet. You hardly taste the whiskey at all,\" said Zachary Jones, a bartender at Community Smith in Atlanta. \"I've known people who can't do shots, but they can do Fireball.\" Fireball is especially popular among young drinkers and women, many of whom say they like that it doesn't singe their throat and leaves a Dentyne-like aftertaste. But not everyone is a fan. Whiskey enthusiasts -- the types who can talk knowledgeably about single-malt Scotches -- mostly turn up their noses at the stuff. \"I've got to be honest: It's not anything I'd reach for, at any occasion,\" Bryson said. \"But clearly I'm not in the mainstream.\" Fireball wasn't always Fireball. It used to be known as Dr. McGillicuddy's Fireball Whisky before its maker, the Sazerac Co., rebranded it in 2006. Sales were modest until about five years ago, when Sazerac hired a \"national brand ambassador,\" Richard Pomes, to spread the word about Fireball through event planning and bartender outreach.

The U.S. military said this week it has made great progress in its effort to develop a self-steering bullet. In February, the \"smart bullets\" -- .50-caliber projectiles equipped with optical sensors -- passed their most successful round of live-fire tests to date, according to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA. In the tests, an experienced marksman \"repeatedly hit moving and evading targets,\" a DARPA statement said. \"Additionally,\" the statement said, \"a novice shooter using the system for the first time hit a moving target.\" In other words, now you don't even have to be a good shot to hit the mark. The system has been developed by DARPA's Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance program, known as EXACTO. \"True to DARPA's mission, EXACTO has demonstrated what was once thought impossible: the continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target,\" said Jerome Dunn, DARPA program manager. \"This live-fire demonstration from a standard rifle showed that EXACTO is able to hit moving and evading targets with extreme accuracy at sniper ranges unachievable with traditional rounds. Fitting EXACTO's guidance capabilities into a small .50-caliber size is a major breakthrough and opens the door to what could be possible in future guided projectiles across all calibers,\" Dunn said. Videos supplied by DARPA show the bullets making sharp turns in midair as they pursue their targets. It all conjures up images of a cartoon character frantically fleeing a bullet that follows him wherever he goes. Only, these bullets are traveling at hundreds of miles per hour. And even the Road Runner can't run that fast. DARPA says the smart bullets will also help shooters who are trying, for example, to hit targets in high winds.

Until one week ago, when his murder convictions were wiped clean, and Hinton walked out of a county jail in Birmingham. \"I have to pinch myself to tell myself that I'm free,\" he told CNN's Brooke Baldwin on Friday. \"It's going to take a little time, but I'll get used to it.\" Hinton had to get used to much worse. For 30 years, he spent most of his time locked in a 5-by-7 cell. There was no going outside at night. The only permissible eating utensil was a plastic spoon. And life in the outside world passed him by: Hinton said his hardest day came in 2002, when he learned his mother had died. Hinton was convicted of killing two men -- Birmingham-area fast-food restaurant managers John Davidson and Thomas Wayne Vason -- but he always said he was innocent. Alabama inmate freed after 30 years on death row . The state decided to dismiss the charges against him after a new trial was ordered in 2014 when firearms experts testified that the revolver Hinton was said to have used could not be matched to other evidence in the case. The two killings also couldn't be linked to each other. Talking Friday to CNN, Jefferson County District Attorney Brandon Falls said the evidence simply wasn't there to retry the case. Falls pointed out that analysts testified that the ballistics evidence was \"inconclusive\" as to whether the bullets came from the gun in question. The victim of a similar crime did identify Hinton as her attacker, but that victim and a witness to that incident have since died, Falls said. When asked if Hinton's ordeal was an injustice, because the evidence about guns that helped convict Hinton should have been ruled inconclusive in 1985, Falls said, \"It appears it was.\" The last time Hinton was free, Ronald Reagan was president, \"Back to the Future\" ruled the box office, and a first-class stamp cost 22 cents.

His attorney asked the court to further reduce Knight's bail, now set at $10 million, but Los Angeles County Judge Ronald Coen denied the request. The judge lowered Knight's bail earlier this month, to $10 million from $25 million, after defense lawyers called the $25 million figure excessive for the circumstances. Knight faces one count of murder for the death of Terry Carter, one count of attempted murder in the case of Cle \"Bone\" Sloan, who was maimed in the incident, and one count of hit-and-run. Knight, 49, faces up to life in prison if convicted. He is accused of running over the two men during an argument. In court testimony earlier this month, Sloan, 51, declined to identify Knight as his attacker because Sloan doesn't want to be a \"snitch\" who sends Knight to prison, according to CNN affiliates KABC and KTLA. Prosecutors offered Sloan immunity, but he still refused to testify against Knight during the preliminary hearing, the affiliates reported. The deadly incident occurred about 11 miles south of downtown Los Angeles on January 29, after a flare-up on the set of the biopic \"Straight Outta Compton,\" a film about the highly influential and controversial rap group N.W.A. At the time, Knight was out on bail in a separate robbery case. The alleged argument spilled over to the parking lot of Tam's Burgers in Compton. The hit-and-run was captured on videotape, which shows Knight inside a red truck. In the video, the truck pulls into the entrance of the Compton restaurant and is approached by Sloan, who was working security at the site. The two men appear to talk for a few moments, with Knight still in his vehicle. Suddenly, the vehicle backs up, knocking Sloan to the ground. While still in reverse, the truck moves out of range of the security camera. The vehicle is then seen zooming forward, back into camera range, running over Sloan a second time, and then running over the second man, Carter, a former rap music label owner. Carter, 55, later died. Knight's attorney Matthew Fletcher has argued that Knight was the victim and was only defending himself against Sloan, whom the defense attorney accused of possessing a gun at the time. Fletcher added that Knight's defense was to stand his ground. The incident is the latest run-in with the law for Knight, who founded the wildly successful Death Row Records in 1991 and signed artists such as Snoop Doggy Dogg (now known as Snoop Lion) and Tupac Shakur. Knight was driving the car in which Shakur was a passenger when the rapper was shot to death in Las Vegas in 1996.

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.

CNN is looking into those questions and will update our coverage as warranted. Gupta helped doctors at Bir Hospital in Kathmandu perform a craniotomy in a makeshift operating room on a young patient as described in this story; it is the identity of the patient that is in question. Original story (Published April 27, 2015): . Kathmandu, Nepal (CNN) -- An ambulance arrives, and a young girl with a bandaged head and badly blackened eye is rushed into Kathmandu's Bir Hopital on a wheelchair amid much commotion. She is Selena Dohal, 8, and her skull was fractured when a massive earthquake shook her neighborhood, two and a half hours from the Nepalese capital, to the ground on Saturday. Blood has collected on top of her brain, in the right frontal area, and she urgently needs surgery to remove the clots. \"She went to get some water, and a house collapsed on her head,\" her grandfather Ram Prasad Duhal tells a doctor. Her grandfather has accompanied Selena to the capital from Panchhkal while her parents take care of her injured brother, who has fractures to both legs. The girl has received some treatment at another hospital but has been brought to Bir in the hopes her life can be saved. \"She was badly crushed. The roof of the house was on her. She was found after a few hours,\" neurosurgeon Bikesh Khambu says. She receives a craniotomy in a makeshift operating room. Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon and CNN's chief medical correspondent, has scrubbed up at the request of a Nepalese medical team to help with the operation. The conditions are less than ideal. Gupta washes up using sterile water and iodine poured from a bottle rather than hot water from a scrub sink. Instead of electric drills, he relies on saws of the variety usually only used in war zones and natural disasters due to the lack of electricity. Despite the suboptimal conditions, the operation is a success, and her prognosis is good, Gupta says. It might not look it, but Selena is one of the lucky ones. Thousands were killed when a devastating earthquake rocked Nepal on Saturday. More thousands were injured, many of whom have flooded the capital's overstretched hospitals. \"I've seen a lot of situations around the world, and this is as bad as I've ever seen it,\" Gupta says. \"They need more resources, they need more personnel here right now, and they're expecting many more patients as these rescue operations go on. \"They're barely able to keep up right now.

His wife said she was still searching for answers Thursday after U.S. officials revealed the 73-year-old American aid worker had been accidentally killed in a U.S. drone strike targeting al Qaeda. \"We were so hopeful that those in the U.S. and Pakistani governments with the power to take action and secure his release would have done everything possible to do so, and there are no words to do justice to the disappointment and heartbreak we are going through,\" Elaine Weinstein said in a statement. \"We do not yet fully understand all of the facts surrounding Warren's death, but we do understand that the U.S. government will be conducting an independent investigation of the circumstances.\" Gunmen abducted Weinstein in 2011 from his home in Lahore, Parkistan. They posed as neighbors, offered food and then pistol-whipped the American aid worker and tied up his guards, his family said. Just a few months after Weinstein's capture, al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri released a recording claiming the terror group was holding Weinstein -- and demanding, among other things, that the United States end airstrikes in Pakistan. U.S. officials called for his release but repeatedly said Washington wouldn't bargain with al Qaeda. Weinstein -- a husband, father and grandfather from Rockville, Maryland -- was 73 years old when he was killed, according to a family website detailing information about his case. He worked in Pakistan as a contractor for the U.S. Agency for International Development from 2004 to 2011, the website says. His employer, Virginia-based consulting firm J.E. Austin Associates Inc., described him as a world-renowned development expert. \"Warren spent his entire life working to benefit people across the globe and loved the work that he did to make people's lives better,\" his wife said Thursday. He loved the Pakistani people and their culture, she said, learning to speak Urdu and doing \"everything he could to show his utmost and profound respect for the region.\" As he announced Weinstein's death Thursday, U.S. President Barack Obama praised what he said was Weinstein's lifelong dedication to service, first as a Peace Corps volunteer and later as a USAID contractor. Weinstein, Obama said, was someone who \"willingly left the comforts of home to help the people of Pakistan,\" focusing his work on helping families escape poverty to give their children a better life. \"This was a man who basically dedicated his life to service, to people in general, but especially to people in a country where the standard of living was low and difficult. ... It's tragic that he was killed the way he was,\" former U.S. Ambassador Dan Simpson said. Simpson met Weinstein in 1968 when they were both working in Burundi -- Simpson as a diplomat and Weinstein as a scholar researching several books.

Three of the militants were killed by Iranian forces in the fighting Monday in the southeastern town of Negur, the state-run news agency IRNA reported. The news agency cited Ali Asghar Mirshekari, the deputy governor of Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan province, who said the militants crossed into the country from Pakistan. Iranian officials have reportedly asked Pakistani authorities to catch the surviving assailants. A militant group called Jaish al Adal claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Iranian state media and a Twitter account believed to be associated with the organization. According to Pakistani media, Jaish al Adal is an anti-Iranian group that has emerged during recent years in areas of Balochistan, the restive Pakistani province that borders southeastern Iran. The Sunni Muslim group has targeted Shiites and says it aims to thwart Iranian influence in Pakistan, according to the Pakistani newspaper Dawn. Jaish al Adal has also claimed responsibility for attacks on Iranian territory. One of the deadliest was in October 2013, when 14 Iranian border guards were killed near the city of Saravan. Iranian authorities say that after similar attacks, the militants have fled back into Balochistan. \"Iran has repeatedly criticized its eastern neighbor for failing to rein in the terrorists,\" IRNA said, referring to Pakistan. The Pakistani government condemned Monday's attack, calling it an \"act of terrorism.\" \"The concerned security agencies of Pakistan are actively investigating this incident, which took place on Iran's territory, and have asked Iranian authorities to share with us any evidence that they have,\" the government said in a statement Wednesday.

The Ethiopian government confirmed Monday that 30 of its citizens were among the two groups, according to the Ethiopian News Agency. The al-Furqan Media video -- which is highly produced and titled \"Until There Came to Them Clear Evidence\" -- shows two groups of men, one in orange jumpsuits and the other in black, being killed at different locations in Libya, according to the video's narrator. One group is beheaded on a beach along the Mediterranean Sea, while the other group is shot in Southern Libya, hundreds of miles away. \"All praise be to Allah, the Lord and cherisher of the world and may peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Mohammed. To the nation of the cross, we are back again on the sands, where the companions of the Prophet, peace be upon him, have stepped on before, telling you: Muslim blood that was shed under the hands of your religion is not cheap,\" the narrator says in Arabic on the 39-minute video. The narrator continues, \"In fact, their blood is the purest blood because there is a nation behind them (which) inherits revenge. And we swear to Allah: the one who disgraced you by our hands, you will not have safety, even in your dreams, until you embrace Islam.\" Quoting Mohammed, the narrator says that those who \"perform prayer and pay alms\" will have \"their blood and property\" protected by the Prophet unless Islam dictates otherwise. \"You pay (tax) with willing submission, feeling yourselves subdued. Our battle is a battle between faith and blasphemy, between truth and falsehood, until there is no more polytheism -- and obedience becomes Allah's on its entirety,\" the narrator says. Earlier in the video, a different speaker says Christians in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul were given the choice to embrace Islam or maintain their Christian faith and pay a tax. \"The Islamic state has offered the Christian community this many times and set a deadline for this, but the Christians never cooperated,\" the speaker says. At the beginning of the video, a man who appears to be a judge in a court enforcing Islam's Sharia law holds up documents and says a Syrian Christian had owed a Syrian Muslim 550,000 Syrian pounds (about $2,900) since 2004, but the Muslim was unable to obtain the money under President Bashar al-Assad's regime. \"After applying to the Islamic court he got his money back within one month,\" the man says. The law cited throughout the video comes from the Quran's Surah 9:29, whose exact translation is an area of dispute among religious scholars. The gist is that Muslims are commanded to fight those who don't believe in Allah or the Last Day (Islam's equivalent of Judgment Day) unless the nonbelievers pay a tax or tribute. In February, ISIS released a video of 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt being executed on a Libyan beach.

The investigation began Wednesday when the 4-month-old infant of the 17-year-old was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in suburban Las Vegas, authorities said. Police arrested the teen mother on one count of child abuse with substantial bodily harm. She was taken to a juvenile facility. Police department spokesman Aaron Patty told CNN affiliate KVVU that the \"infant did not receive the proper care and nourishment that she needed at the time, which is what led to the arrest of the 17-year-old.\" A day later, a search warrant was served at the family's home. That's when police found the body of the 3-year-old girl, who had apparently been dead \"for at least a few weeks,\" according to police. The teen mother was then arrested on one count of child abuse with death in connection with her younger sister's death, according to a police statement. The parents left the home several months ago with the other five children, ranging in age from 1 to 9 years old, but, according to Patty, \"they left the 3-year-old child and the 17-year-old sister at the residence alone.\" Authorities are seeking the parents, 39-year-old Jondrew Lachaux and 38-year-old Kellie Phillips. Police say the five children with them may be in danger. \"We believe that they went to California at some time and may have gone back and forth during this multiple month process when they left,\" Patty said. No Amber Alert was issued, according to police, because the 4-month-old did not die. Lachaux and Phillips, who are the child's grandparents, are being sought for questioning. \"We are asking for the assistance of the public in locating these two individuals,\" said Patty. \"We believe they can answer many questions on what led up to the death of this child.\" The 4-month-old infant was last reported to be hospitalized in critical condition.

+{"article": "(CNN)Ten years ago, a prosecutor in Centre County, Pennsylvania, took a day off work and vanished. Since then, the case of Ray Gricar has become one of the most intriguing and talked about missing persons stories in the country. Investigators have taken dives to the bottom of lakes, dug up a grave, chased more than 300 reported sightings from Arizona to North Carolina, dropped fliers over Slovenia, consulted a psychic, interviewed a member of the Hell's Angels and enlisted NASA technology. But no one has been able to find the veteran district attorney, who was 59 when he disappeared. When he went missing that Friday morning on April 15, 2005, he left behind a live-in girlfriend, a beautiful and successful daughter and a bank account that was supposed to fund a fast-approaching retirement. His red Mini Cooper was found abandoned near a bridge on the Susquehanna River about 55 miles away from his home. Months later his county-issued laptop and hard drive were found -- separately -- on the banks of the river, too damaged to read. As far as hard evidence goes, that's about all police have. The best lead they got was the sighting of a woman who has not been identified, and information that he had searched online for ways to destroy a hard drive. What's left is theory, speculation and a case that's been cold almost from the beginning. \"When a district attorney goes missing, you know, it's pretty big. It's going to catch people's attention. A lot of people don't have a large footprint. This guy had influential friends, he was well known,\" said Todd Matthews, director of communications and case management for the National Missing and Unidentified Person System, or NamUs. From the start, investigators have considered three possibilities: Gricar committed suicide, fell victim to foul play or deliberately walked away. The prevailing theories have been suicide or walk-away, especially since 2009, when a search of his Google history on his home computer found that someone had been searching \"how to fry a hard drive\" and \"water damage to a notebook computer.\" Gricar, a private and quiet man, was spotted with a woman who was not his girlfriend the day he went missing, and cigarette ash was found near his car, even though he was not a smoker. Friends and colleagues recalled him being distant in the weeks that led up to his disappearance, and recounted his fascination with another law enforcement official from Ohio who vanished in 1985. Matthews said that NamUs has compared Gricar's DNA to unidentified bodies nine times since the database became available in 2009, but so far, none has been a match. \"Even if he chose to make himself go missing, it sounds like something was terribly wrong that caused a drastic change in his life.

+{"article": "(CNN)On the surface, the mix-up seems incomprehensible: How can a volunteer sheriff's deputy accidentally fire a handgun instead of a Taser, killing a man? That's apparently what happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when a 73-year-old reserve deputy, Robert Bates, killed Eric Harris. Bates said he meant to use his stun gun but ended up firing his handgun instead. \"Oh! I shot him. I'm sorry,\" Bates said in a video of the shooting. But it's happened before. In a well-publicized 2009 case, a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer fired his gun instead of his Taser, killing 22-year-old Oscar Grant in Oakland, California. The former officer, Johannes Mehserle, testified that he had meant to use his Taser but drew his gun instead. Mehserle was sentenced to two years in prison for involuntary manslaughter but was released early due to good conduct. So how easy -- or hard -- is it to draw and fire a handgun mistakenly instead of a Taser? Here are some factors to consider: . Law enforcement experts say the gun should be holstered on the officer's dominant side of the body, and the Taser should be placed on the nondominant side. So if an officer is left-handed, the gun should be on the left side. Bates' attorney said his client is left-handed. But the reserve deputy said his gun was holstered on his right side -- his nondominanant side. \"I shoot long guns left handed and handguns right handed,\" Bates said in a written statement to investigators. After Bates announced at the scene he was going to use his Taser, he \"used his nondominant hand, and it was the gun,\" said Clark Brewster, Bates' attorney. \"He said that he saw the laser sight on the shoulder, assumed it was the Taser,\" Brewster said. \"Both the gun and the Taser have a laser sight, and he just made a mistake.\" Brewster also said his client's left hand was holding a pepper gun. In his statement to investigators, Bates said he had grabbed a \"pepper ball launcher\" to try to slow or stop Harris, who was running away. Bates did not say explicitly where the Taser was on his body. But he admitted to grabbing the wrong device and said he was \"startled\" by the recoil of the gun. \"After realizing what had happened I was in a state of shock and disbelief,\" he told investigators. Bates is now charged with second-degree manslaughter. If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison. Deputy who shot Eric Harris turns himself in . Bates was carrying his personal gun, a Smith & Wesson .357 five-shot revolver, and a Model X26 Taser, he said in his statement to investigators. Attorneys representing the Harris family said there are stark differences between the two devices. One held up a small black .357 revolver, followed by a mostly bright yellow Taser that was noticeably larger than the gun. \"There's no way an officer can get this confused with this,\" said one of the attorneys from the law firm of Smolen, Smolen & Roytman.

Now, jurors have found him guilty on all 30 counts he faced for the deadly bombings and their aftermath. But no verdict can ever totally make up for the pain, she said. \"I don't believe that there will ever be justice brought to this, no mater if he does get the death penalty or he remains in prison for the rest of his life,\" she said, crying as she spoke to reporters outside her Texas home. \"I do believe, however, that he should be held accountable for his actions. And I'm very thankful for each of the jury members that are making him do that.\" Gregory, who wrote a widely publicized letter to Tsarnaev after testifying, said the trial has left her and other victims reeling from a flood of emotions as they relive horrifying memories, but it's an important step. \"Everything is being brought up again full force. Our lives will never ever be the same, but I hope with this we can move forward and remember that we are still here for a reason, that there's a bigger plan,\" she said. \"I may be standing on one fake leg, but I'm standing here, stronger than ever, because someone tried to destroy me, and he failed.\" For Gregory and others who lived through the 2013 attack, Wednesday's verdict brought a mix of emotions, from triumphant vows to move forward, to expressions of gratitude, to debate over whether Tsarnaev should be sentenced to death. There were no outbursts inside the federal courthouse in Boston. In fact, there was barely any peripheral noise as people sat on the edges of their seats. As Tsarnaev fidgeted and scratched the back of his head, some survivors and victims' family members lowered their heads and dabbed tears.

To Richard \"Dic\" Donohue, an MBTA police officer left in a pool of blood after being wounded in a shootout with the Tsarnaevs in Watertown, the verdicts show that \"as a society, ... terrorism will not prevail, and we will hold those accountable for their acts against our nation.\" \"Justice has been served today,\" Donahue tweeted.

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.

The strikes caused no casualties, but did destroy all three military compounds that were targeted, the officials said. They said Saudi airstrikes were also targeting Houthi positions in Lahj province. On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia announced the end of its Operation Decisive Storm, a nearly month-long air campaign against Houthi positions. The Saudi-led coalition said a new initiative was underway, Operation Renewal of Hope, focused on the political process. But less than 24 hours later, after rebel forces attacked a Yemeni military brigade, the airstrikes resumed, security sources in Taiz said. Five airstrikes targeted a weapons depot in the province late Wednesday, two Taiz security officials said. They said explosions lasted for about 40 minutes. Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners started pounding Houthi positions across Yemen starting on March 26, hoping to wipe out the Iranian-allied rebel group that overthrew the Yemeni government and seized power. The Saudis say they want to restore the Yemeni government -- a key U.S. ally in the fight against al Qaeda -- which was kicked out of the capital by the rebels earlier this year. This month, Saudi officials said airstrikes have degraded Houthi-controlled military infrastructure, including key buildings in Sanaa. The campaign achieved its objectives \"by a very good planning, very precise execution, by the courage of our pilots, our sailors, our soldiers,\" said Brig. Gen. Ahmed Asiri, a Saudi military spokesman. A senior Saudi official told CNN that the Houthis agreed to \"nearly all demands\" of the U.N. Security Council. A statement from the Saudi Embassy in Washington outlined objectives of the next phase of operations, including protecting civilians, enhancing humanitarian and medical assistance, confronting terrorism and creating an international coalition to provide maritime security. Ground troops will continue to protect the border and confront any attempts to destabilize the situation, Asiri said. Military action will be taken if needed. Houthi leader: 'Anyone who thinks we will surrender is dreaming' On Wednesday, Houthis released Yemeni Defense Minister Mahmoud al-Subaihi in Sanaa, a senior Saudi source said on the condition of anonymity. The Houthis had said they detained the defense minister at an air base near the Yemeni port city of Aden on March 26, shortly before the Saudis began their airstrike campaign. The rebels had captured the base that day as part of an advance on the Aden area. The United Nations demanded al-Subaihi's release earlier this month. But beyond the military campaign, the Saudis and their allies have said they want to find a political solution for the violence-plagued nation. President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who says he's Yemen's legitimate leader, thanked the Saudi-led coalition. He is working with the Saudis and other allies to return to his country. \"We promise to restructure the Yemen military to ensure that it serves the people of Yemen,\" Hadi said,", "summary": "After calling off its air campaign, Saudi Arabia resumes airstrikes in Yemen .

+{"article": "Washington (CNN)Rick Santorum says he'd hoped Indiana Gov. Mike Pence would veto the \"fix\" to his state's religious freedom law rather than limiting its scope. The law unleashed an intense backlash against Indiana, led by tech giants like Apple and Salesforce and sports organizations like the NCAA, amid concerns it would allow businesses to turn away gay and lesbian customers. Santorum, the former Republican senator from Pennsylvania, who is likely to mount another presidential campaign in 2016, said on CBS' \"Face the Nation\" on Sunday that Pence's decision to sign a follow-up bill -- which made clear the law couldn't be used to refuse services based on sexual orientation -- led to a \"limited view\" of religious freedom. \"It doesn't really open the debate up on some of the more current issues,\" Santorum said -- a reference to gay rights issues. With the Supreme Court set to rule in June on whether same-sex marriage should be legalized nationwide, social conservatives like Santorum have asserted that Christian bakers, florists and wedding photographers shouldn't be forced to provide their services to same-sex weddings. The Indiana uproar drew nearly all of the GOP's 2016 contenders into the debate, with candidates like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz rushing to Pence's defense. \"Tolerance is a two-way street,\" Santorum said. \"If you're a print shop and you are a gay man, should you be forced to print 'God hates fags' for the Westboro Baptist Church because they hold those signs up?\" Santorum said. \"Should the government force you to do that?\" he said. \"And that's what these cases are all about. This is about the government coming in saying, 'No -- we're going to make you do this.' And this is where I think we just need some space to say, 'Let's have some tolerance -- have it be a two-way street.'\" Gay rights groups, meanwhile, have used the outrage over Indiana's law -- as well as a similar one that Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed into law -- and debate in at least 14 other states over similar measures this year to renew their calls for state laws that bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. Sarah Warbelow, the Human Rights Campaign's legal director, said the debate could shift to states like Texas and South Carolina, where similar bills have been introduced. She said tech companies like Facebook and Google are increasingly wading into the debate because they're recognizing that \"nondiscrimination protections are critical to every area of their employees' lives.\" Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of the Catholic archdiocese in New York, said on NBC's \"Meet the Press\" on Sunday that the debate over religious freedom calls for a \"delicate balance.\" \"We've got to make sure that the rights of conscience and the ability to publicly exercise one's religion is also balanced with another good -- namely, the rights of people not to be discriminated against,\" he said. \"It's easier to ignore religious freedom than it is, today, the more popular issues,\" Dolan said. \"In a way, I appreciate the fact that we have political", "summary": "Rick Santorum says \"religious freedom\" debate is about government telling people what to do .

Zhou Yongkang, 72, was also charged with abuse of power and leaking state secrets, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the highest prosecution authority in China, said. As a member of the ruling Communist Party's Politburo Standing Committee -- China's top decision-making body -- Zhou was one of nine men who effectively ruled the country of more than 1.3 billion people. He retired in 2012. At the height of his power, Zhou controlled police forces, spy agencies, court systems as well as prosecution offices across China -- and wasn't shy in deploying his vast assets to crush dissent and unrest in the name of \"preserving social stability.\" Now, prosecutors have accused Zhou of \"taking advantage of his posts to seek benefits for others and illegally accepting huge amounts of money\" during his long political career. His alleged actions have caused heavy losses to public assets and greatly harmed national interests, they added. Zhou was notified of his legal rights during the investigation and his lawyer's views were heard, according to a statement by the prosecutors. His case will be tried in Tianjin, a city near the Chinese capital, Beijing. The president of China's supreme court recently told reporters there would be \"open\" trials for accused former leaders like Zhou. However, the charge of leaking state secrets may allow authorities to shield certain legal proceedings from public view in Zhou's case. Zhou has not been seen in public since he attended an anniversary event at his alma mater in October 2013. He was expelled from the Communist Party and arrested last December. State media have painted an intricate web of officials, cronies and tycoons -- some with alleged mafia connections -- orbiting around Zhou before the crumbling of his power structure last summer. Zhou and his family members were said to have accumulated enormous wealth, in a blatant exchange between money and power. He was also found to have affairs with multiple women and allegedly traded power for sex, state-run Xinhua news agency reported last year. Analysts have viewed his shocking downfall as a watershed moment in the secretive world of Chinese politics, now ruled by President Xi Jinping. Xi has been spearheading a massive anti-corruption campaign, targeting both \"tigers\" and \"flies\" -- high-ranking, and low-level, officials. Zhou is by far the biggest tiger caught in Xi's dragnet to date. \"The important thing here is that Xi has proven he's powerful enough to break this taboo of never incriminating former Politburo Standing Committee members,\" longtime political analyst Willy Lam, a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said last year, when the government revealed its formal investigation into Zhou.

The person responsible is the man's mother, who on Sunday faced a host of charges after allegedly abandoning her son and catching a bus to Maryland to see her boyfriend, said Philadelphia police Lt. John Walker. Low temperatures reached the mid-30s during the week, and rain was reported in the area Wednesday and Thursday. The man is unable to communicate how he came to be in the park, but Walker told reporters that the man's mother, whom he did not identify for CNN, left him there Monday morning. \"Sometime at 11 a.m., the mother went to visit her boyfriend down in Maryland, over in Montgomery County, and we believe she placed the child into Cobbs Creeks Park,\" Walker said at a news conference. Walker told CNN the man was transported to Presbyterian Hospital, but CNN affiliates reported he was being treated at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He suffered eye problems, dehydration, malnutrition and a cut to the back that has raised infection concerns, the lieutenant told reporters. \"This kid's obviously a fighter,\" Walker said during a Saturday news conference. \"It's just unbelievable how we found him out there last night. To see that kid laying there, it's heartbreaking to see another human, especially a mother, can treat someone like that.\" Officials at Philadelphia's School of the Future, which the man attends, became concerned when he didn't show up for classes and tried to contact his mother but eventually reached an aunt, CNN affiliate WPVI reported. When police tracked down the mother, she told them her son was with her, Walker said. \"She indicated to both family members and the police officers that the child was with her down with her boyfriend in Maryland,\" he said. The boyfriend was not aware of what happened, Walker told CNN affiliate KYW-TV. The mother now stands charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment of another person, neglect of a care-dependent person, unlawful restraint, kidnapping and false imprisonment, the station reported. Walker told reporters she bore \"clear criminal liability in this case.\" Maryland police took her into custody on Sunday, and she will face the charges in Philadelphia following an extradition hearing, WPVI reported. There was no reason for the man to suffer, Walker told philly.com, because the mother had sisters willing to take care of him.

+{"article": "(CNN)Criminal justice reform is rapidly becoming one of the few bipartisan issues of our time. It's about time. America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 5% of the world's population and 25% of its prisoners. Nearly 2\u00bd million Americans are in prison. Over 65 million people, or 20% of the country, have criminal records. Most disturbingly, nearly 40% of our country's prisoners are African-Americans, who only make up 13% of the general population. It's time for policymakers to address this criminal justice crisis head on. We must change the dismal status quo. We must start by asking a simple question: Why are so many Americans criminals? Look no further than Washington, which has spent the past century devising the most complicated \u2014 and nonsensical \u2014 criminal code known to man. The federal criminal code includes over 4,500 laws and counting, not to mention government regulations for which there are criminal penalties. The list of federal crimes is so long, so broad and so vague that you and I likely commit three felonies every day, unwittingly breaking numerous federal laws as we go about our daily business. No wonder America's prison population is out of control. Americans aren't addicted to crime; our politicians are addicted to criminalizing things. Sadly, the criminalization of Americans also traps them in poverty. According to the Pew Charitable Trusts, incarceration leads to reduced wages (11% drop), employment (nine weeks lost annually), and earnings overall (40% annually). Making matters worse, over half of new prisoners are at or below the poverty line and three-quarters of former prisoners are sent back to jail within five years of their release. The deck is stacked against my generation in particular. Young adults are 10% of the population yet comprise 29% of the country's arrests. Young African-Americans are particularly at risk: They're 15 times more likely to be in prison than whites. No wonder 18-to-29-year-olds have the lowest level of trust of any age group that our justice system treats everyone equally. Thankfully, there is a bipartisan consensus in Washington that something needs to be done, and fast. On the left, civil rights groups and their allies in Congress have been demanding that the criminal system be fixed for years. On the right, politicians from Paul Ryan to Rand Paul are now recommending the same thing. If politicians are serious, they should consider three specific areas for reform. 1. Reduce punishment for nonviolent crimes . Politicians should consider reducing nonviolent offenses from felonies to misdemeanors, and end mandatory sentencing for nonviolent crimes. The federal government's unsuccessful war on drugs has led to unfair punishments for nonviolent drug offenders who made youthful mistakes. While some policies may have made sense in the 1980s and '90s, they now do more harm than good. Those involved in the buying and selling of small amounts of drugs shouldn't be subjected to years or decades in prison for their crimes. And more generally, judges should be free to tailor their rulings to the specific facts and details of the case -- and the person standing", "summary": "America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, holding 25% of the world's prisoners .

+{"article": "(CNN)The White House insists it doesn't need congressional approval for the Iran nuclear deal announced this month. But while historical precedent suggests the President might indeed have the authority to move forward without Congress, the Obama administration should probably learn another lesson from history: Getting Congress' signature might be worth the effort. True, the fight for congressional approval would be politically bruising and consume a huge amount of energy. But it would still be a mistake to move forward with the deal as an executive-based agreement rather than obtaining the consent of the legislative branch -- a diplomatic breakthrough of this magnitude would be far more enduring with the imprimatur of Congress. The President and his advisers have avoided using the term \"treaty,\" instead explaining that it would be a \"nonbinding agreement.\" According to Secretary of State John Kerry: \"We've been very clear from the beginning. We're not negotiating a 'legally binding plan.' We're negotiating a plan that will have in it a capacity for enforcement.\" On \"Meet the Press,\" Kerry said, \"What we're looking for is not to have Congress interfere with our ability, inappropriately, by stepping on the prerogatives of the executive department of the President.\" There is a big legal argument that will play out over these definitional issues, with the potential for court challenges. But outside of the legal debate, there are also significant political questions, and those are a different beast altogether. For a start, there is growing pressure on Capitol Hill -- from members of both parties -- to pass legislation that would give Congress the right to review the deal and make a decision about lifting sanctions. On Tuesday, a deal was reached on legislation proposed by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker that would require President Barack Obama to submit the final deal to Congress, giving it 52 days to review and approve the agreement. Corker told MSNBC on Tuesday that negotiators had reached a \"bipartisan agreement that keeps the congressional review process absolutely intact, full of integrity.\" What's in the Iran bill and why all the fuss? There is good reason for Obama to avoid calling this a treaty. After all, given the contentious political environment on Capitol Hill, where legislators struggle to pass even a routine budget, the notion that they would move on a treaty of this importance seems dubious at best. But there is also a history of Congress causing significant trouble for important international treaties. In the late 1970s, for example, President Jimmy Carter tried to obtain consent for the SALT II treaties, but conservatives argued the agreement was evidence that Carter was weak on defense. Carter pushed for the treaties as essential to international peace but to no avail. After Iranians took American hostages and the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, the treaties died in the Senate. Yet there are other examples where even in a contentious congressional environment, presidents successfully pushed for the ratification of treaties that they knew would cost them important political capital, and even once the White House exited the struggle bruised and battered, the", "summary": "Framework agreement with Iran over its nuclear program was reached this month .

Homosexuality is illegal. You can be executed if convicted of engaging in sexual acts. Kissing another person of the same sex can earn corporal punishment, like lashes. Others have been pressured to undergo gender reassignment. Psychologists in Iran have reportedly pushed LGBT patients toward hormone therapy and eventually surgery. Some flee the country before surgery, as do other homosexuals who believe they may be outed. Many come to Turkey, and the small town of Denizli is host to hundreds of gays and lesbians from Iran who are now in limbo.

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", "summary": "Gulnaz was jailed after the attack as her rapist was married .

Eritreans want to escape repression or military service; Somalis flee Al-Shabaab and clan warfare; Syrians have given up hope of returning home. In villages in Senegal and elsewhere across West Africa, young men sell all they have in the hope of a better life in Europe, perhaps hoping to join a cousin or brother who made it. Motivations among the tens of thousands making the trek to the Mediterranean coast are as many and varied as the nationalities involved, according to researchers and human rights groups. But in 2014 more than 80% of them headed for the Libyan coast as the easiest point of embarkation. From the Horn of Africa to the Atlantic, from Syria and Gaza, these would-be migrants travel well-established smuggling routes. Along the way they must cross deserts and mountains, risk kidnap or robbery, are often cheated or left stranded. One African migrant reported surviving on toothpaste for days. A teenage Somali who made it to Malta told researchers that he had warned other family members not to come. \"I tell them its 95% sure that you will die,\" he said. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has tracked the migrant flows through North Africa for years. Eritreans have long been prominent among the travelers, escaping an authoritarian government, poverty and indefinite military service -- a land without possibilities. \"Many conscripts are not demobilized from the military as scheduled and some were forced to serve indefinitely under threats of detention, torture, or punishment of their families,\" according to a report by the Regional Mixed Migration Secretariat (RMMS) in Nairobi last year. They travel to Sudan, so long as they can avoid kidnap by tribes on the border, and are handed from one group of smugglers to the next in relay. One Eritrean woman told the UN Refugee agency (UNHCR) this month that she had paid $5,000 to reach the Mediterranean. Eritreans and Syrians made up half of the migrant traffic to Europe last year, according to Arezo Malakooti, director of migration research at Altai Consulting and author of one of the most detailed studies of migration patterns. Malakooti has recently visited seven countries, including Libya, Tunisia and Morocco to update her study. The \"push factor\" is much greater than the \"pull\" of Europe, she says. Upheavals and instability across much of Africa and the Middle East -- combined with the perception that Libya's doors are open -- have led to a massive increase in the numbers trying to reach Libya. \"Worsening repression in Eritrea\" has been one factor, she says -- while Eritreans already in refugee camps in Sudan have decided to make a dash for the Mediterranean. One reason is that other routes -- through Saudi Arabia and to Israel -- have become more difficult: Israel has adopted a much tougher approach on would-be Eritrean migrants trying to enter the country through the Sinai desert, including detention, and Yemen's implosion has cut off that conduit.

+{"article": "(CNN)As goes Walmart, so goes the nation? Everyone from Apple CEO Tim Cook to the head of the NCAA slammed religious freedom laws being considered in several states this week, warning that they would open the door to discrimination against gay and lesbian customers. But it was the opposition from Walmart, the ubiquitous retailer that dots the American landscape, that perhaps resonated most deeply, providing the latest evidence of growing support for gay rights in the heartland. Walmart's staunch criticism of a religious freedom law in its home state of Arkansas came after the company said in February it would boost pay for about 500,000 workers well above the federal minimum wage. Taken together, the company is emerging as a bellwether for shifting public opinion on hot-button political issues that divide conservatives and liberals. And some prominent Republicans are urging the party to take notice. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who famously called on the GOP to \"be the party of Sam's Club, not just the country club,\" told CNN that Walmart's actions \"foreshadow where the Republican Party will need to move.\" \"The Republican Party will have to better stand for\" ideas on helping the middle class, said Pawlenty, the head of the Financial Services Roundtable, a Washington lobbying group for the finance industry. The party's leaders must be \"willing to put forward ideas that will help modest income workers, such as a reasonable increase in the minimum wage, and prohibit discrimination in things such as jobs, housing, public accommodation against gays and lesbians.\" Walmart, which employs more than 50,000 people in Arkansas, emerged victorious on Wednesday. Hours after the company's CEO, Doug McMillon, called on Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson to veto the bill, the governor held a news conference and announced he would not sign the legislation unless its language was fixed. Walmart's opposition to the religious freedom law once again puts the company at odds with many in the Republican Party, which the company's political action committee has tended to support. In 2004, the Walmart PAC gave around $2 million to Republicans versus less than $500,000 to Democrats, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. That gap has grown less pronounced in recent years. In 2014, the PAC spent about $1.3 million to support Republicans and around $970,000 for Democrats. It has been a gradual transformation for Walmart. In 2011, the company bulked up its nondiscrimination policies by adding protections for gender identity. Two years later, the company announced that it would start offering health insurance benefits to same-sex partners of employees starting in 2014. Retail experts say Walmart's evolution on these issues over the years is partly a reflection of its diverse consumer base, as well as a recognition of the country's increasingly progressive views of gay equality (support for same-sex marriage is at a new high of 59%, according to a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll). \"It's easy for someone like a Chick-fil-A to take a really polarizing position,\" said Dwight Hill, a partner at the retail consulting firm McMillanDoolittle. \"But in the world of", "summary": "While Republican Gov.

+{"article": "(CNN)I remember the day I stopped praying. It was the day after my little brother, Jimmy, died of cancer. He was 25. I was so angry at God. I was 27 at the time, and, like most young people I had stopped going to church. But, on that day -- that terrible day -- I desperately needed to understand why God took my brother. I called the nearest Catholic church, looking for a priest. A lady picked up the phone. \"Can I talk with Father?\" I asked. I wish I could say her answer was \"yes.\" Instead, she asked me if I was a member of that particular parish. \"Does it matter?\" I asked. (At the time I lived far from my home parish.) I don't remember how she responded, but the answer about my being able to see Father was clearly no. I don't know if all Catholic churches would have shut me out, but I figured, at the time, it was part of the long list of rules the Vatican required Catholic leaders to follow. I cried for a bit, then decided I would never ask God for anything. Clearly, his conduits on Earth did not have time for me -- a lifelong Catholic -- and sinner -- so why would he? Ever since, I've considered myself a lapsed Catholic. Until Pope Francis. There is something about Francis that's reawakened my faith. And it's not because he opened the floodgates to allow sin in the eyes of the church. He still argues against things I passionately support, but I find myself -- like many other lapsed Catholics -- enthralled. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting one of the Pope's newly appointed cardinals. His name is Cardinal Gerald Lacroix. The 57-year-old presides at the Basilica Cathedral of Notre Dame in Quebec City. One of my first questions: What is it about Pope Francis? \"Every person is a mystery you know. ... But what's evident is this man is living with such freedom, such inner freedom. He's himself. He's in tune with the Lord,\" Lacroix told me. \"Those close to him say he's up close to 4 in the morning to prepare his daily Mass, which is at 7 in the morning on the weekdays. So that's almost three hours of prayer, preparation and silence before the Lord and the word of God. Wow, that really fine-tunes you to start off a day.\" Perhaps that's how the Pope stays humble. Why he defies tradition and washes the feet of the disabled, women and those of other faiths. Why he ordered showers to be built for the poor in St. Peter's Square. All of this is appealing, but it's more than that. In my mind, it's his tone. When Pope Francis said, \"If a person is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?\" The comment took me aback. Homosexuality has long been a taboo subject for the Vatican, yet Pope Francis uttered those welcoming words. Lacroix likened the Pope's approach to Jesus. \"Jesus", "summary": "There is something about Pope Francis that's reawakened her faith, say CNN's Carol Costello .

Jakarta has advised consular officials to travel to Indonesia's \"execution island\" -- Nusa Kambangan -- where the ten are being held, though a spokesman for the Attorney General, Tony Spontana, told CNN Friday this is not the required 72-hour notice given to death row convicts before the actual execution. But he said, \"the time is approaching.\" The 10 inmates, from Australia, France, Ghana, the Philippines, Brazil, Nigeria and Indonesia, had their petitions for clemency denied by President Joko Widodo in late 2014. The executions, which will be carried out by firing squad, were planned for earlier this year but were postponed after several inmates filed separate legal challenges. On Tuesday, the Indonesian Supreme Court rejected reviews filed by French national Serge Atlaoui and Ghanaian Martin Anderson. \"We're just waiting for one more decision on the judicial review filed by Zainal Abidin and we hope the Supreme Court's decision will come out tomorrow (Friday),\" Spontana added. Abidin is also a drug convict and the only Indonesian citizen in the group. Chan and Sukumaran, members of the so-called \"Bali Nine\" convicted for their role in a failed 2005 heroin smuggling plot, tried to challenge the President's decision earlier this month but lost an appeal for the State Administrative Court to hear their case. Their lawyers have since filed another review at the Constitutional Court. The Attorney General's office has said they would respect all ongoing court proceedings but insisted the inmates have exhausted all their legal options. Australia has repeatedly appealed for clemency for the pair and has unsuccessfully proposed a prisoner swap with Indonesia as a way of avoiding their deaths. In another sign that the execution date may be announced soon, Spontana said Veloso, 30, was moved Friday to Nusa Kambangan, which lies off the coast of West Java.

Older sister Marites Laurente told CNN Friday that Veloso wants to see parents, siblings and two young sons before facing the firing squad. Laurente said that while her sister seemed resigned to her fate, the family still hopes for a stay in her execution. \"The chances are slim but we're hoping for a miracle. That's what we need, a miracle,\" she said. \"If President Widodo kills her, he would kill an innocent person.

Sledge died in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said Stephanie Price of the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office. Sledge died of natural causes, said East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner Dr. William Clark. He had been in hospice care for cancer, Clark added. In a career that started in the 1960s, Sledge had a number of hits, including \"Take Time to Know Her,\" \"Warm and Tender Love\" and \"It Tears Me Up\" among them. But his first and biggest hit, \"When a Man Loves a Woman,\" towered over them all. Over a mournful, slowly rising instrumental track provided by organist Spooner Oldham, drummer Roger Hawkins and guitarist Marlin Greene -- key musicians of what became the Muscle Shoals sound, heard on countless soul records -- Sledge crooned, pleaded and roared his way through the tune. It came directly from the heart: Originally called \"Why Did You Leave Me Baby,\" he'd written it about a former girlfriend, drawing from a tune that he used to sing to himself as a child. \"I hummed it all my life, even when I was picking and chopping cotton in the fields,\" the Alabama-born singer told the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At the time, Sledge was working as a hospital orderly, picking up gigs at night with a group called the Esquires Combo. In a fit of generosity, he gave the songwriting credit for \"Woman\" to two of the Esquires, Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright, who had helped him with a few chords. The song was recorded on February 17, 1966, in Sheffield, Alabama. Atlantic Records picked it up and wanted to redo the slightly out-of-tune horns, but the original version ended up being released. It hit No. 1 on May 28, 1966. \"Southern soul had at last entered the mainstream of pop in the unlikely guise of the ultimate make-out song,\" music historian Peter Guralnick wrote. Producer Jerry Wexler called it \"a holy love hymn.\" Sledge never saw a dime of songwriting royalties. He had some regrets about that, he told Blues and Soul magazine -- the song would have helped provide for his children -- but he accepted it. \"Worst decision I ever made. But I am not at all bitter. I figure if God wanted me to do what I did, and say what I did to tell those guys they could have the song, then I'll leave it that away,\" he told the magazine. \"When a Man Loves a Woman\" became a standard, covered many times -- Michael Bolton took it to No. 1 in 1991 -- and featured on several movie soundtracks. It was even the title of a 1994 film starring Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan. Sledge's version also returned to the charts, hitting the UK top 10 in 1987.

James Hansen, the former head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said in 2013 that \"continued opposition to nuclear power threatens humanity's ability to avoid dangerous climate change.\" Yet Wednesday, the White House will celebrate Earth Day and promote its work to fend off climate change, while strategically ignoring its largest tool to cut carbon emissions -- nuclear energy -- as well as the warning of one of the administration's favorite climate scientists. Despite the fact that nuclear power is carbon-free, the Obama administration's energy policy plan is biased against it. This bias is created by how Environmental Protection Agency credits nuclear power in its models of both current emissions and plan implementation. EPA's modeling is divorced from reality. First, EPA's \"Base Case for the Proposed Clean Power Plan\" purports to depict the current state of the industry as the future would unfold without the Clean Power Plan. This base case assumes no new nuclear construction and indicates the retirement of 96 of our 99 operating nuclear plants by 2050. EPA's implementation modeling, \"Option 1 -- State,\" shows exactly the same situation: no new construction and 96 retirements by 2050. In other words, EPA assumes that the nuclear industry is essentially phased out by 2050. These assumptions are tremendously important because they determine how emission targets are set and what state actions will receive credit toward those targets. A group of University of Tennessee graduate students made this point to EPA at a public hearing last summer. Using EPA's own data, the graduate students showed that EPA's energy policy plan creates incentives for states to shut down nuclear power plants and replace them with natural gas combined cycle plants. The students demonstrated that under this scenario, EPA's model shows emission reductions while real world emissions actually increase. President Obama's EPA has shifted its position on nuclear energy and hidden that policy shift in a model. For example, when EPA modeled the Lieberman-Warner bill in 2008, the agency indicated 44 nuclear plants would need to be built by 2030 in order to achieve the carbon reductions mandated in the bill. EPA's modeling of the 2009 Waxman-Markey bill showed the need to build 275 new nuclear plants by 2050 to meet the carbon reduction targets in the legislation. Where did this policy shift come from? At a recent hearing in the Environment and Public Works Committee, Mary Nichols, chairman of the California Air Resources Board, told Congress that EPA looked at California's California Global Warming Solutions Act when developing its so-called Clean Power Plan and that", "summary": "U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe: Nuclear is our largest source of carbon-free energy, generating over 60% of our carbon-free electricity .

Some members of the terrorist cell had direct contact with al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden before his death in Pakistan in 2011, wiretaps showed, Italy's state-run ANSA news agency reported. And wiretaps and other intelligence revealed that the group planned to carry out terrorist attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as in Italy, according to Caligari Chief Prosecutor Mauro Mura. Some evidence indicated the Vatican was among the targets considered, police said. Talk of this took place March 2010, around the time a possible suicide bomber from Afghanistan entered Italy, Mura said. Police said, too, that some of the suspects were involved in a Pakistani market bombing in 2009 in which more than 300 people were killed and injured . The suspects had been under surveillance for years, some as far back as 2005, police said. On Friday, Italian State Police closed in, carrying out raids in seven provinces in what they called a first-of-its-kind operation. One of the raids targeted the alleged terrorist cell's headquarters on the island of Sardinia. The operation, which is still going on, is expected to result in the arrest of 18 people, most of them from Pakistan, said spokesman Paolo Meloni, who represents the police in Sassari, Sardinia, where the investigation is being coordinated. Some suspects had an abundance of weapons and moved cash around the world, police said. One was apprehended on a flight from Italy to Pakistan while carrying 55,000 euros, or nearly $60,000, police said. Meloni said the provinces in which the raids were being carried out included Frosinone and Macerata, which are in central Italy, as well as Bergamo, in the north. Some of those expected to be arrested are suspected of having been involved in the 2009 car bombing in Pakistan, Meloni said. In that bombing, in a bazaar in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, 137 people were killed and more than 200 were injured. Still other suspects are suspected of involvement in migrant trafficking, he said. Police said the group tried to recruit to its cause the migrants it transported.

It's what he does the rest of the day that's not so typical. Zobott is enrolled in Huntley High's blended learning program, which merges Internet-based instruction with a more traditional classroom setting. One-third of the school's 2,700 students are enrolled. In 2015, the school is working toward enrolling the majority of its students. \"Having to work online makes it really accessible to do the work that I have to get done,\" said Zobott, a top-ranked junior who balances a heavy load of extracurricular activities with schoolwork. \"I can learn on my own. I can work at the pace I want to work. And I learn the way I want to learn.\" Huntley High School students and educators often refer to the program simply as \"blended.\" It allows teachers to write the curriculum, with students giving feedback about the focus. Unlike many traditional online learning programs, students have the option of a flexible schedule during allotted blended learning days. Some days they meet with teachers, and some days they work online, according to Anne Pasco, who heads the school's educational technology efforts. \"In blended learning, we focus on the content. We don't focus on needing to cover X amount of material,\" Pasco said. \"Blended allows us to provide a stable environment that gives students the ability to spread their wings a bit, while we have the safety net of pulling them back into class if they need it.\" The \"homegrown\" program, which launched in 2011, gives students who struggle in certain content areas more one-on-one time with teachers during the school day, Pasco said. \"Before blended, that had to happen after school or before school or on Saturday or maybe not at all, because we had too many other activities that encroach upon (students') academic day,\" Pasco said. \"Now, this student can work one-on-one with that teacher during the school day.\" Teachers can monitor students' progress and track lesson plans online to see how much time students spend on a specific assignment. Teachers are allowed to restructure the class schedule based on students' needs. \"There's actually much better accountability,\" said John Burkey, the superintendent for Huntley High's school district, which includes about 9,500 students. \"Blended learning is not a panacea, and the success of the program isn't about spending a bunch of money on technology. Rather, [it's] looking at what students actually need, and building a culture of innovation to meet those needs.\" Burkey said there were plenty of questions about blended learning when it was first introduced to the Chicago district in 2011. One concern: How was the district going to pay for it? It turns out the blended learning program spends about $8,500 per student, less than the Illinois average of $12,000 per student. \"We spend considerably less than the average school district. We don't have a lot of resources compared to many districts,\" Burkey said. \"We did not put new money into this.

There are the usual things that are said about it -- the stunning landscape, which includes Mount Everest, and the amazing food. But Nepal has also made some of the most remarkable progress on maternal and child health in the last few years. In fact, I remember a time just last May when I sat with a group of mothers and their tiny babies as they told me how proud they were that they now understood how important it was to make sure they prioritized breastfeeding and nutritious foods. They spoke of the wonderful future they were now expecting for their children, and they shared with me the big dreams that they had. So you can imagine the indescribable sadness I experienced waking up this morning and seeing the news reports that Nepal had been hit by its worst earthquake since 1934, when more than 10,000 people were killed. While casualty accounts following the magnitude-7.8 quake Saturday are still difficult to confirm -- hardly surprising considering that communication lines have been severely disrupted -- estimates we are hearing from the ground are already placing the number lost in the thousands, with the official toll now at around 1,500 expected to keep growing as the hours and days pass. The fact that the epicenter of this quake was so close to the capital of Kathmandu, where the majority of Nepal's citizens reside, makes the situation even more dire. Many of these people live in cramped conditions and have never lived outside the city. As a result, it is unlikely they even have a home village to go to temporarily for shelter. Housing the scores of newly homeless will be a tall order. It is still quite cold at night in Nepal, so getting these people into shelters quickly will be of the utmost importance. Compounding this very serious problem will be the difficulty in ensuring that those affected have access to clean water in the coming days; Nepal already had one of the lowest standards of sanitation in the world before the quake. In fact, even getting food to people will be a logistical nightmare, given that the entire country -- which is about the size of Tennessee -- is served by only two main roads, which have likely been badly damaged, if not destroyed. We have been in situations like this before, and know what to do. But time is not on our side -- we have only a few short weeks before the rainy season begins, which will make an already difficult job close to impossible. With that in mind, we have set up a fund to help address the immediate needs of children, who are always the most vulnerable in an emergency.

Police dispatch recordings include an officer saying White \"tried to grab my gun.\" One witness, Agustin Ayala, told the Vineland Daily Journal that White was resisting arrest. But two others told WCAU that police attacked White while he was already handcuffed. \"They punched him, stomped him, kicked him and then they let the dog out of the car,\" Ricardo Garcia told the station. \"The dog bit him on his face and around his body. There's no call for that. Once a man is handcuffed and unconscious, you should have stuck him in the patrol car and take him to the police station.\" Witness Luis Martinez gave a similar account. \"The other cop let the dog out, and they just kept punching him and the dog kept biting him at the same time,\" Martinez told WCAU. \"He was on the floor, like he was knocked out.\" As White was taken to a hospital, he became unresponsive, NJ.com reported.

University of Cape Town students took to social media to demand Cecil Rhodes' statue come down, saying his legacy is tainted with racism. Using the hashtag #RhodesMustFall, students expressed their views in a campaign that started last month. Four weeks later, the hashtag is now #RhodesHas Fallen. The university said Wednesday the heritage authority granted it permission to remove the statue from the campus. \"These steps are being taken to ensure the safety of the statue while matters concerning its future are resolved,\" the university said in a statement. Rhodes' statue was first unveiled in 1934 at the university, which also has a scholarship and memorial in his name. #RhodesMustFall gained attention after activists threw excrement on the statue in March. \"He represents the former colonial representation of this country -- supremacy, racism, misogyny,\" says Ramabina Mahapa, president of the students' Representative Council, which led the fight to remove the statue. \"Students are saying these aren't the ideals that we want to have here,\" Mahapa says. \"The statue represents what is wrong with society.\" But in Pretoria, another group of protesters disagreed. \"This isn't confronting history, this is erasing it,\" says Steve Hofmeyr, a singer who participated in a campaign Thursday that involved activists chaining themselves to the Paul Kruger statue in response to #RhodesHasFallen. Days earlier, Kruger's statue was pelted with green paint. The Afrikaner is known for his opposition to the British.

With official news of her candidacy just hours old, one thing is already crystal clear: For the next year and a half, Clinton will be the barometer by which we assess gender equality in the United States. Win or lose, this creates a burden for her that no male candidate will ever have to shoulder. Just consider the two potential outcomes. A win would mean a woman in the White House, which is a vital step in the march toward women's full political inclusion. But it's possible that the march will end right there. We'll break our arms patting ourselves on the back for how far we've come. We'll raise the \"Mission Accomplished\" banner over the women's movement. And we'll call it a day. Granted, 80% of elected officials throughout the country will still be men. Women will continue to be less likely than men even to consider running for office. And pay inequities, sexual assault and human trafficking will persist as challenges that no one person can solve, no matter how hard Clinton might try. \"But we've elected a woman as president,\" we'll say. Let her take care of it. A loss would be even more difficult. Clinton will be blamed for running a subpar campaign regardless of how brilliant her strategy is. More generally, her loss would perpetuate the myth that women cannot win big elections, that the electoral environment is rife with bias and discrimination, and that women must be twice as good to get half as far. \"If Hillary Clinton can't win an election,\" potential female candidates will ask, \"How can I?\" Extrapolating from one female candidate's experiences to women in politics more broadly is always suspect. But in the case of Clinton, it is particularly flawed for at least two fundamental reasons. First, Clinton is no ordinary female presidential candidate, if there is such a thing. She began the 2008 race with levels of name recognition that many candidates never achieve, and she is even more well-known today. But that means that she also enters the electoral arena with 23 years of public accomplishments and 23 years of well-publicized baggage. Voters, donors, journalists and pundits all hold clear impressions of Clinton before she ever eats a corn dog in Iowa, steps onto a debate stage in New Hampshire or takes a shot of bourbon in Kentucky. Too often, we treat Clinton's loss to Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary as a referendum on how citizens feel about electing women to positions of political power. In reality, what people knew about Hillary Clinton likely shaped their views of Hillary Clinton. Widespread sexism and misogyny likely did not. After all, for decades, women who have run for office have performed just as well as men. They win elections at equal rates and routinely raise comparable amounts of money.

China is also mentioned, as having used the death penalty as a tool in its \"Strike Hard\" campaign against terrorism in the restive far-western province of Xinjiang. The annual report catalogs the use of state-sanctioned killing as a punitive measure across the globe, and this year's edition contains some mixed findings. On one hand, the number of executions worldwide has gone down by almost 22% on the previous year. At least 607 people were executed around the world in 2014, compared to 778 in 2013. Amnesty's figures do not include statistics on executions carried out in China, where information on the practice is regarded as a state secret. Belarus and Vietnam, too, do not release data on death penalty cases. \"The long-term trend is definitely positive -- we are seeing a decrease in the number of executions (worldwide),\" Audrey Gaughran, Amnesty's Director of Global Issues, told CNN. \"A number of countries are closer to abolition, and there are some signs that some countries will be abolitionist by 2015. (There are) signals of a world that is nearing abolition.\" While the report notes some encouraging signs, it also highlights a marked increase in the number of people sentenced to death in 2014. At least 2,466 people globally are confirmed to have been handed the sentence last year, an increase of 28% compared with 2013.

+{"article": "(CNN)Saturday's deadly earthquake in Nepal was the \"big one\" experts were waiting for based on the region's history. Earthquakes are a fact of life in the South Asian country, with tremors of magnitude 4 or 5 occurring several times each year, geologist and science journalist Kate Ravilious said. With the last major earthquake in 1934, the concern was not if, but when the next \"great\" earthquake would hit, said Ravilious, author of the 2014 article, \"Kathmandu's earthquake nightmare.\" In a landlocked country like Nepal, where infrastructure is fragile to begin with, the consequences of such an earthquake had the potential to be \"much more serious,\" Ravilious told CNN. Those fears were realized when a magnitude-7.8 earthquake centered less than 50 miles from the national capital of Kathmandu rocked Nepal, toppling homes, historic buildings and leaving more 1,400 dead, authorities said. \"This event, while large and tragic, is not unusual for that region of the world as the whole mountain range stretching from Tibet almost to Caspian Sea is an area of major collision between continental plates,\" said geological engineer Nicholas Sitar with the University of California, Berkeley's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. What's different this time from 1934 is the size and density of Kathmandu, which suffered the brunt of damage in both earthquakes. \"The population has exploded in several decades,\" U.S. Geological Survey spokesman Gavin Hayes told CNN. \"When you get a vast population in the kind of building infrastructure that isn't equipped to handle shaking of an earthquake this size, that's when you see the scale of disaster we're seeing now.\" The big unknown is what happens next, now that the initial rumbles of the quake have passed, Ravilious said. How will emergency response teams enter the landlocked country, whose single international airport is closed? How will transports carrying aid move through the country if roads are destroyed? If and when landslides start, how will mountainside villages in the Himalayan range fare? And, will it all be resolved before monsoon season starts? \"The worry now is to get Nepal up and running again on feet,\" Ravilious said. \"The monsoons in a couple of months could make things worse if we don't sort things out before then.\" An earthquake is the ground shaking caused by a sudden slip on a fault, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Stresses in the earth's outer layer push the sides of the fault together, releasing energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking felt during an earthquake. Nepal is located on a major plate boundary between India and Eurasia, where collisions have been in progress for about 50 million years. Those collisions are responsible for the construction of the Himalayas, which has the tallest and some of the fastest growing mountains in the world, said Chris Goldfinger, director of Oregon State University's Active Tectonics and Seafloor Mapping Laboratory.

Luckily, Japanese can sleep soundly in their beds tonight as the government's top military official earnestly revealed that the country's Air Self Defense Force (ASDF) had never encountered an extraterrestrial unidentified flying object. Responding to a query from flamboyant former wrestler-turned-lawmaker Antonio Inoki, Defense Minister Gen Nakatani told the Diet, Japan's parliament, that his jets had, to date, never come across any UFOs from outer space. \"When the Air Self Defense Force detects indications of an unidentified flying object that could violate our country's airspace, it scrambles fighter jets if necessary and makes visual observation,\" Nakatani said. He continued: \"They sometimes find birds or flying objects other than aircraft but I don't know of a case of finding an unidentified flying object believed to have come over from anywhere other than Earth.\" Inoki has appeared in the U.S.-based WWE -- which describes him as \"among the most respected men in sports-entertainment\" -- and is the founder of the New Japan Pro Wrestling organization. He entered Japan's Upper House for a second stint in politics in 2013. He also famously fought Muhammad Ali in 1976, in one of the first-ever mixed-discipline matches, which would later pave the way for today's wildly popular Mixed Martial Arts contests. Before his return to politics he was a regular fixture on Japanese TV variety shows and has promoted a slew of products, from hot sauce to banks. The maverick politician also traveled to Iraq in 1990 to try to secure the release of Japanese hostages, and has more recently attempted to replicate former NBA star Dennis Rodman's \"basketball diplomacy\" by staging a wrestling tournament in North Korea. He reportedly converted to Islam in the 1990s, although he says he practices both Islam and Buddhism. The lawmaker, who is universally known in Japan for his colossal chin and once-ever-present red scarf -- these days often replaced with a red necktie -- as much as for his political achievements, had asked a Upper House Budget Committee meeting if aircraft were ever scrambled to meet extraterrestrial threats, and if research was being done into alien visitors, prompting Nakatani's response. Inoki also claims to have seen a UFO with his own eyes, but admitted that he didn't know personally if aliens existed. The exchange wasn't the first time Japanese politicians have discussed the implications of visitors from another planet.

But soon reality set in and Heranus began to cry and beg to see her mother. Heranus was separated from her brother, adopted by the officer and his wife, who could not have children of their own. Her name was changed to Seher and she was raised Muslim. And so she survived, had children and grandchildren. Cetin was in law school when her grandmother revealed her secret and painful memories of her Armenian roots. It shattered all that she knew to be real.

Synthetic marijuana is popular among teens because it is marketed as incense or natural products to \"mask its true purpose,\" the health department statement said. \"Young people may be fooled into thinking that these substances are safe because they are sold over the counter or are in colorful packaging, but they are not made for human consumption,\" New York Alcohol and Substance Abuse Service s Commissioner Arlene Gonzalez Sanchez said. \"They are dangerous and can have significant, long-term effects on the brain.\" The recent surge is not isolated in New York; other states across the country have noticed similar trends. Alabama Department of Public Health issued a statement last week acknowledging a rise of synthetic marijuana usage and said there had been 98 overdoses suspected to be linked with \"spice\" in the previous month. Mobile County alone has seen seven cases in 2015 so far, more than the entire previous year, the statement said. Mississippi health officials are also concerned that synthetic marijuana is on the rise.

Both Democrats are toying with a presidential run, both are facing long odds in that endeavor, and both shared a stage at the Polk County Democrats Awards Dinner in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday night. But, as was evident at the dinner, that is where the similarities end. O'Malley is a former mayor and Maryland governor who seems most at home when he is pressing the flesh at events and introducing himself to anyone who would extend their hand. Webb, on the contrary, is a decorated Vietnam War veteran and former senator from Virginia who comes across as more stoic and, at times, uncomfortable with retail politics. Before the event, O'Malley confidently cruised the union hall. He took selfies with young environmental activists and chatted with sometimes tepid supporters who admitted their other political allegiances. \"It is a marathon, not a sprint,\" one man told O'Malley, a nod to his long odds in the 2016 Democratic nomination process. \"Yes, it is; it's a marathon,\" O'Malley responded. \"Welcome to Iowa,\" said another man. \"We hope to see you here more.\" O'Malley smiled, \"Thanks a lot. I hope you do, too.\" Webb wasn't nearly as active, opting instead to stay close to his seat near the front of the venue and chat with a small group of people around him.

As eight of Mary Jane Veloso's fellow death row inmates -- mostly foreigners, like her -- were put to death by firing squad early Wednesday in a wooded grove on the Indonesian island of Nusa Kambangan, the Filipina maid and mother of two was spared, at least for now. Her family was returning from what they thought was their final visit to the prison on so-called \"execution island\" when a Philippine TV crew flagged their bus down to tell them of the decision to postpone her execution. Her ecstatic mother, Celia Veloso, told CNN: \"We are so happy, so happy. I thought I had lost my daughter already but God is so good. Thank you to everyone who helped us.\" Supporters were \"overjoyed\" with the news. \"This is all because of the efforts of the Filipino people and the international community who have been with Mary Jane, her family and the Filipino people all throughout,\" a supporter said upon hearing of the eleventh-hour reprieve. Veloso was arrested in 2010 after a flight from Malaysia to Indonesia when $500,000 worth of heroin was discovered in the lining of her luggage. Supporters, including the Filipino advocacy group Migrante, and her lawyers claim the young mother was the victim of human trafficking. They say she was offered work in Malaysia, but when she arrived she was told the job had been filled and wasn't aware the bag she'd been given for the return journey to Indonesia was filled with drugs. The Philippine Embassy in Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, said Wednesday that it welcomed the reprieve and appreciated that the Indonesian government appeared to be reconsidering the case. \"While Mary Jane was convicted for a drug-related offense in 2010, the Philippines believes that due to her personal circumstances, she herself is a victim of heartless drug syndicates,\" embassy political secretary Jed Llona said. \"The alleged recruiters of Mary Jane are currently being investigated in the Philippines, and the embassy hopes that through this ongoing case, those truly responsible for drug trafficking in the region are brought to justice.\" Questions about her detention and trial, including the competency of her translator, have also been raised. Veloso had been given the customary 72 hours' notice of execution, and her family had traveled to Nusa Kambangan to say their final goodbyes. However, developments in her home country appear to have changed -- or at least delayed -- her fate. CNN Philippines reported that Veloso's alleged recruiter, Maria Kristina Sergio, and her partner Julius Lacanilao surrendered to authorities in the Philippines Tuesday. Sergio faces charges of illegal recruitment, human trafficking, and fraud, but maintains her innocence. Sergio said that she had received anonymous death threats by phone, and further threatening messages from Veloso's family on social media.

Hernandez, 25, appeared to shake his head \"no\" earlier as jurors in the Massachusetts trial found him guilty of first-degree murder. He was also found guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition. \"They got it wrong,\" Hernandez said as he was being transported from the courthouse to a state prison, according to a law enforcement source close to the case. \"I didn't do it.\" At trial, the defense team described Lloyd, a former semi-pro football player, as Hernandez's \"bluntmaster\" -- his purveyor of marijuana -- and his future brother-in-law. But in victim impact statements, Lloyd's relatives portrayed him as a loving son and protective brother, as a man who rode his bike 10 miles to work and wore the same flip-flops for 12 years. \"Odin was my only son,\" his mother, Ursula Ward, told the court, without looking at Hernandez. \"Odin was the man of the house.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), divulged the plan to an expert panel, including members of the cabinet and the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry on Monday. \"This is an initial step and a lot of procedures are still ahead before the plan is formally approved,\" a JAXA spokesperson told reporters. If it is approved, the agency will reportedly use its Epsilon solid-fuel rocket technology to carry and deploy a SLIM probe -- the acronym stands for \"Smart Lander for Investigating Moon\" -- on the surface of the celestial body. Japanese media estimates that the mission will cost in the region of \u00a510 billion to \u00a515 billion ($83.4 million - $125 million). JAXA spokesperson Chihito Onda confirmed to CNN that this estimate is realistic. The mission is expected to be used to perfect soft-landing technologies, which could be utilized in future, manned expeditions to the moon, or even Mars. The lander will use face recognition software found in digital cameras, which will be repurposed to enable the craft to recognize craters on the surface, Onda said. The move could be seen as Japan's attempt to play catchup to its Asian neighbors China and India, which have both notched significant extraterrestrial victories in recent years -- China's Yutu lunar rover outlasted expectations and India successfully put a probe into orbit around Mars the first time of asking. In 2008 Japan put its SELENE craft -- known in Japan as Kaguya, after a Japanese moon princess from a 10th century folk tale -- into orbit around the moon to gather data about its surface. The data gathered by the orbiter will also be used to calculate a suitable landing site for the rover. JAXA has also put a probe on an asteroid, which returned to Earth in 2010.

He's the 49-year-old former Inkster, Michigan, police officer who is seen in police car dashcam video grabbing the unarmed motorist, Floyd Dent, around the neck while he lay on the ground and punching him several times in the head. \"The alleged police brutality in this case cannot and will not be tolerated,\" Worthy said.

+{"article": "(CNN)Last week, California Gov. Jerry Brown ordered mandatory statewide restrictions on water use for the first time in the state's history. His action was driven by a specific crisis unique to California at the moment -- the severe drought now in its fourth year there -- but it has significance for the whole nation. As it has in the past, California is leading the way in recognizing that population and economic growth has to respect the physical limits imposed by planet Earth. California developed the infrastructure and system of legal rights it uses to distribute water at a time when the population was much smaller than it is today -- and when the climate was in an unusually wet phase, historically speaking. This led to a system that all but encourages heavy water use in dry parts of the state, with little consistency in allocation or pricing and little disincentive to waste. This has never made a lot of sense, but the new measures are the strongest acknowledgment yet that it just isn't tenable today in a serious drought. As for the drought: It won't be the last, and surely won't be the worst to come in the remainder of this century. Brown's measures may be temporary, but we can hope that they'll be a step toward a more permanent reformation of the state's water distribution system -- one that includes large agricultural users, who are not included in the current measures, although they are the dominant consumers of California's water. How the drought affects rest of the nation . What California does now has global significance: Lack of clean fresh water is a serious problem in much of the world. On the Indian subcontinent, where supply can't meet the demands of rapid development, groundwater is being depleted much as it is in California, and is an equally unsustainable practice in both places. And my colleagues at Columbia recently published a study arguing that drought in Syria was one of the causes of the ongoing war there. They also presented strong evidence that the Syrian drought was in part attributable to human-induced climate change -- in itself, another physical constraint the planet places on growth. Our energy systems, like our water systems, are not sustainable. Is the California drought a consequence of climate change? A recent National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report for which my colleague Richard Seager was lead author, argued that it isn't (though the authors acknowledge that global warming makes the drought worse by increasing evaporation from the soil). California, and southwestern North America, indeed saw worse \"megadroughts\" in the pre-Columbian past, long before any humans burned fossil fuels. At the same time, the latest projections are that the odds of such megadroughts are increasing with warming. So we're left with a complex picture, one typical of many extreme weather events. We know that human-induced climate change is increasing the risk that an event such as this will happen, while at the same time we can't strongly blame climate change for the specific event happening right now.

+{"article": "(CNN)The United States Department of Justice has named a new defendant in the war on drugs, and the charges are serious indeed. A 15-count indictment filed in federal court in California bristles with accusations of conspiracies, transporting prescription pharmaceuticals dispensed with illegal prescriptions, violations of the Controlled Substances Act, misbranding charges, and money laundering charges. Who is this menace to society? FedEx. Yes, the courier delivery service. Wait, can companies even be charged with crimes? Where would a FedEx be incarcerated? Is there a corporate Shawshank Prison? How does one fit a company for a prison jumpsuit? It turns out a corporation can indeed be prosecuted like a person. It's a practice the Supreme Court has approved of for over a century. In fact, in many ways they are easier to prosecute than people. Corporations don't have all the same inconvenient constitutional rights as citizens accused of crimes. Imprisoning convicted citizens is expensive, but corporate convictions, on the other hand, turn tidy profits for the U.S. government, with zero prison overhead. Even if corporations can be held criminally liable, should a courier service like FedEx be held liable for \"possessing\" what bad guys may send through the service? The answer, according to FedEx, is not just \"No,\" but a \"No\" so conclusive that this case should never see a courtroom. The company maintains that it is innocent. It has a point. \"Possession\" is an elusive concept. When it comes to drugs, the law recognizes two kinds of possession: actual and constructive. Actual possession is when you have physical control over the contraband. When you have a gun in your hand or drugs in your pocket, you \"actually\" possess those things. The somewhat hazier concept of \"constructive possession\" means you can \"possess\" something without even having it on your person, as long as you have ownership, dominion or control over the contraband or the property where it is found. For example, the government would argue that while you may not have actual possession of the 5,000 OxyContin pills in the trunk of your car parked in your driveway, you \"constructively\" possessed them. Conversely, sometimes you can be holding something in your hand or have it in your vehicle, but not \"possess\" it either actually or constructively, in the eyes of the law. Such is the case with couriers who routinely drive to your home, walk up to your door and hand you a package, completely ignorant about what is inside it. It's hard to argue the UPS guy intentionally \"possessed\" your subscription to porno mags, in their nondescript brown packaging. That is the idea behind the \"common carrier\" exception to possession, and a large part of FedEx's compelling legal argument. A \"common carrier\" is one who offers its services to members of the public -- without much discretion -- and is engaged in the business of transporting persons or property for compensation.

The two were successful in getting their line of frozen pizzas, including breakfast pizzas and gluten-free options, in stores across Nichols, west of Green Bay. They grew a base of loyal customers. But all that was threatened this week when people began mistaking them for Memories Pizza of Walkerton, Indiana, which made national headlines after its owners said they would refuse to cater a same-sex wedding. People posted angry comments on Memories Gourmet Pizza's Facebook page and called its phone number to protest. And almost overnight, Premeau and Danke found themselves thrust unwillingly into a national debate over Indiana's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act. \"My stomach was in my throat all afternoon,\" Danke told CNN affiliates WBND and WFRV. \"All of a sudden, our Facebook page started getting flooded,\" Premeau said. \"I was shocked. It was like I was a rat running around in a cage, wondering what's going on here.\" In a cruel coincidence, the flood of outrage began on Wednesday, April Fool's Day. \"If I'm ever in the area, I'll be sure to starve to death before I give you and you intolerance any of my money!\" wrote one commenter on Facebook. \"I don't have much of a message, except that I hope your bigotry puts you out of business very quickly,\" a man said in a voice mail.

Premeau thinks the firestorm was sparked by people Googling \"Memories Pizza\" and confusing the two businesses -- despite the fact that Nichols and Walkerton are in separate states and almost 300 miles apart. He and Danke tried to defuse the outcry with a Facebook post saying in part, \"We are not that company in Indiana, nor do we agree or condone their words or actions.\" In response, they began getting messages of support on Facebook, along with a few sharp-tongued comments from supporters of the other Memories Pizza. Premeau said he also got a call from a man whose initial post may have set off the social media storm, apologizing for the mistake. Still, he worries that damage to his wholesale pizza business may have been done. \"This misinformation and this defamation of character could cause me to lose the business over someone else's identity in another state,\" he said.", "summary": "A Wisconsin pizzeria is harassed by people confusing it with one in Indiana .

+{"article": "(CNN)When photographer Johan Bavman became a father for the first time, he took more than a passing wonder about how his native Sweden is said to be the most generous nation on Earth for parental leave. He immersed himself in fatherhood -- twice over, you might say. He used his photography to document the real-life experience of other fathers taking full advantage of Sweden's extraordinary program, which allows mothers and fathers to take long, long leaves from their careers so they can care for their newborns. Get this: Sweden grants a total of 480 calendar days of parental leave, with 390 of them paid at 80% of income, with a maximum of 3,160 euros a month or $3,474. The remaining 90 days are paid at a flat-rate benefit of 20 euros a day, or $22. But there's a catch. Fathers have to share that leave with mothers. So to promote both parents to raise their children, Sweden has mandated that 60 of the 480 days be \"daddy months\" or \"partner months.\" If the 60 daddy days aren't used, they are lost, reducing the maximum leave to 420 days. The country also created a \"gender equality bonus\": the more days that parents share the leave equally, they get a bonus that could total up to 1,500 euros, or $1,649. The idea is for both parents to share the joys and struggles of raising infants. In reality, only 12% of Swedish couples equally share the 480 days of leave, Bavman said, with women continuing to lead the way as the stay-at-home parent and men as the careerist. Still, Bavman mused last summer about how the policy impacts those men who use the full measure of their parental leave. Social media . Follow @CNNPhotos on Twitter to join the conversation about photography. At first, Bavman had difficulty finding such men. But the fathers he did find and photograph, he captured their devotion in realistic imagery. \"I realized while I was talking to these dads, these dads are struck by how important the bonding is between you and the children,\" said Bavman, who now has a 3-year-old son, Viggo, with partner Linda Stark, a freelance journalist. \"I didn't want to bring out fathers as superdads,\" Bavman said. \"I wanted to bring out these role models which people can connect to. \"I want to have those dads who can also show their tiredness ... which comes with being home with your children. It's a hard full-time job. This is something that we have been taking for granted for hundreds of years. This is something that mothers have never been recognized for.\" He also found moments of humor, with one child nearly ripping apart the shirt of his busy father. The fathers have become more understanding of their wives and even their own mothers, Bavman said. Some are now considering a career change to accommodate their parenthood. \"Being home nine months, they get time to think about their life,\" the photographer said.

The excitement came after a breakthrough nuclear deal with the United States and other world powers that promises to end Iran's international isolation under years of crippling sanctions. Just before midnight on Thursday, Vali Asr street, one of Tehran's main thoroughfares, turned into something like a block party. Car horns blared. Men danced in the middle of traffic. Some people flaunted U.S. dollar bills. It was a fitting double occasion: The agreement was struck on the final day of Persian New Year festivities, symbolizing a fresh start. Milad, a 20-year-old university student among the crowds, told CNN he was happy about the accord but wary about his own future. \"I still believe I'll have a hard time finding a job that pays well, with or without this deal.\" Another Tehran resident, Alireza, 37, said \"Things can't get worse than they are so, I'm happy with this news.\" \"This is pretty historic and I pray that my children will be able to live in an Iran that can play nice with the international community.\" At home that evening, families watched as Iranian state television broadcast U.S. President Barack Obama's speech live, which came for many as a surprise. Some Iranians celebrated the moment by snapping selfies in front of the TV.

+{"article": "(CNN)This is the time of the year when Christians the world over -- more than 2 billion of us -- reflect upon the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord. In light of the tragic massacre of Christian college students in Kenya on Thursday, and the ongoing threat against Christians in other nations, this Holy Week we are calling upon Christians to also reflect upon the crucifixion, beheading, stoning, enforced slavery, sexual abuse, human trafficking, harassment, bombing and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Christians -- and others -- whose faith alone has made them a target of religious extremists. Countless lives have been utterly destroyed in nations such as Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, India, Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria. In June 2012, Bishop Shlemon Warduni of Iraq told the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, \"We beg you to help. We want only peace, security, and freedom. Please no more death, no more explosions, no more injustice.\" By then, nearly every remaining church in Iraq had constructed a blast wall around its building to buffet the threat of the inevitable church bombing. This crisis escalated substantially last summer when ISIS swept like lightning through Iraq's Nineveh province, capturing the country's second-largest city, Mosul; a city that was until 2014 a home of a thriving Christian community, there centuries before Islam. Again and again the world did not respond as it might have, and now the inconceivable has happened: Iraq's Nineveh Plain has been emptied of its ancient Christianity community, which existed there for more than 1,500 years. On March 27, in a presentation to the U.N. Security Council, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Louis Raphael Sako referred to the present reality of his fellow Iraqi Christians as a \"catastrophic situation.\" He's right. Rarely since the first century has the church in the East faced persecution on this scale. Christian communities that took 2,000 years to build, and that were started by the apostles themselves, lie in ashes between the Tigris and the Euphrates. Survivors waste away as refugees, often in deplorable conditions, with no homes or churches to return to if the region eventually stabilizes. Whether they be Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant, Christian communities are united in what Pope Francis has called an \"ecumenism of blood,\" recognizing that Christianity is experiencing more martyrdom today than in the first century. This is not an exaggerated or contrived crisis. As Nina Shea, director of the Hudson's Institute's Center for Religious Freedom, has aptly put it, \"Piece by piece, Middle Eastern Christianity is being shattered.\" Our concern is not to the exclusion of anyone else under threat by these religious fanatics, and we reject those who believe that this evil is reflective of the majority of Muslims whose community has actually experienced the most casualties in this conflict.

His comments to The New York Times, published on Sunday, come amid criticism from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the deal that the United States and five other world powers struck with Iran. Tehran agreed to halt the country's nuclear ambitions, and in exchange, Western powers would drop sanctions that have hurt the Iran's economy. Obama said he understands and respects Netanyahu's stance that Israel is particularly vulnerable and doesn't \"have the luxury of testing these propositions\" in the deal. \"But what I would say to them is that not only am I absolutely committed to making sure they maintain their qualitative military edge, and that they can deter any potential future attacks, but what I'm willing to do is to make the kinds of commitments that would give everybody in the neighborhood, including Iran, a clarity that if Israel were to be attacked by any state, that we would stand by them,\" Obama said. That, he said, should be \"sufficient to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see whether or not we can at least take the nuclear issue off the table,\" he said. The framework negotiators announced last week would see Iran reduce its centrifuges from 19,000 to 5,060, limit the extent to which uranium necessary for nuclear weapons can be enriched and increase inspections. The talks over a final draft are scheduled to continue until June 30. But Netanyahu and Republican critics in Congress have complained that Iran won't have to shut down its nuclear facilities and that the country's leadership isn't trustworthy enough for the inspections to be as valuable as Obama says they are. Obama said even if Iran can't be trusted, there's still a case to be made for the deal. \"In fact, you could argue that if they are implacably opposed to us, all the more reason for us to want to have a deal in which we know what they're doing and that, for a long period of time, we can prevent them from having a nuclear weapon,\" Obama said.", "summary": "In an interview with The New York Times, President Obama says he understands Israel feels particularly vulnerable .

Mohamud is \"credited with having an extensive terrorist network within Kenya,\" according to a ministry document given to CNN. Earlier, the ministry posted a \"Most Wanted\" notice for Mohamud. It offers a reward of 20 million Kenyan shillings, which is about $215,000. \"We appeal to anyone with any info on #Gamadhere to share with relevant authorities and security agencies,\" the Interior Ministry posted on Twitter.

In this role, he commands the militia along the border and \"is responsible for cross-border incursions in the country.\" His network extends within the Dadaab refugee camp, the document says.

Local officials said methyl bromide is suspected to have been used improperly several times in the U.S. Virgin Islands, in different parts of the island; even the governor said his condominium complex was fumigated with it in 2013, without his knowledge. Investigators are still trying to piece together exactly what happened at the Sirenusa resort, where a Delaware family's vacation in paradise turned into a nightmare. Theresa Devine and Steve Esmond and their two children fell gravely ill and suffered seizures; two brothers, ages 14 and 16, remain in comas. But this was likely not an isolated incident. Local authorities here tell CNN there is evidence methyl bromide was used at least twice at the gated Sirenusa resort on St. John by the pest control company Terminix. They also say Terminix used the pesticide across the islands on different occasions.

The 42-year-old actress and star of the hit TV sitcom \"Modern Family\" split from businessman Nick Loeb in May 2014. Loeb is suing the Colombian-born actress in Los Angeles to prevent Vergara from destroying their two embryos conceived through in vitro fertilization in November 2013, according to published reports by New York Daily News and In Touch magazine. The lawsuit cited by the two publications, however, lists the plaintiff as \"Joe Doe\" and the defendant as \"Jane Doe.\" The suit doesn't identify the names of the actual litigants. Instead, the suit asks the court to advance the matter anonymously to protect the two individuals' privacy. The two publications cited unidentified sources in their reports. On Tuesday, Loeb's attorney Abram Moore confirmed in a statement that Loeb filed the lawsuit. Representatives for Vergara declined to comment. Court papers allege the couple created the embryos while they were engaged, and their plan was to eventually have children together. On \"Modern Family,\" Vergara plays Gloria Delgado Pritchett, an eccentric and voluptuous Colombian immigrant who in recent episodes had a baby. But the sitcom make-believe is far from what Vergara is dealing with now. The lawsuit states the embryos should not be destroyed under any circumstances by Jane Doe until both parties reach an agreement. The suit also names as a defendant the clinic where the embryos are being held, the Art Reproductive Center in Beverly Hills. The center didn't respond to a message seeking comment Friday. According to the legal paperwork, the ex-couple had already used two surrogate mothers, one being a close friend of Jane Doe's, in an attempt to have children. However, neither of the implantations was successful. In his own statement, Loeb said he wants to implant the embryos in a surrogate and bring them to term, but he doesn't want any money from the egg donor. His statement doesn't directly identify Vergara as the donor, other than referring to his \"ex.\" \"I have previously offered to waive any parental or financial responsibilities or obligations on the part of my ex, and to even give her the opportunity to be involved with the child in the future, should she change her mind,\" Loeb said. He believes that \"life begins at fertilization,\" he said. \"Creating an embryo in the natural way can lead to parenthood obligations, even where a man doesn't want to become a father. Where a man does want to become a father, and wants to impose no obligations on the other party, he should have that corresponding right. However life comes to be created, it should have no determination on either the rights of wanting to be or the requirements of having to be a parent,\" Loeb said.

+{"article": "(CNN)The United States has seemingly erupted this week about what it means to live your religion, especially in Indiana, where its new Religious Freedom Restoration Act faces a firestorm from critics who say it uses faith as a pretext to discriminate against gay people. Such state laws have been growing ever since the U.S. Religious Freedom Restoration Act became law in 1993, designed to prohibit the federal government from \"substantially burdening\" a person's exercise of religion. So far, 20 states have some version of the religious liberty law, and the legal controversies have grown, too. Nonetheless, claims under those state RFRAs are \"exceedingly rare,\" and victories involved mostly religious minorities, not Christian denominations, experts say. \"There is reason to doubt whether these state-level religious liberty provisions truly provide meaningful protections for religious believers,\" wrote Wayne State University law professor Christopher Lund in a 2010 analysis, when there were only 16 states with such laws. Here are some of the more interesting cases arising from the federal and state laws, touching upon an array of religious matters from a knife carried by an IRS accountant to a tea from the Amazon: . He was a Native American with eagle feathers at a religious gathering of tribes. But not in the eyes of the feds. In 2006, Robert Soto and Michael Russell attended an American Indian powwow while in possession of eagle feathers, in violation of the federal Eagle Protection Act, which outlaws the killing of bald and golden eagles and even picking their feathers off the ground. Soto, a Lipan Apache, asserted he was participating in an Indian religious ceremony. The feathers are sacred to Native Americans. But a federal Fish and Wildlife Service agent found his tribe wasn't federally recognized, and Soto surrendered his feathers. Russell, who is married to Soto's sister, isn't American Indian and agreed to pay a fine, according to court papers and the America Bar Association Journal. Soto, however, petitioned the federal Interior Department to return his feathers. The feds said no, because he wasn't from a recognized tribe. Soto and Russell sued the federal government, but a federal district court ruled in favor of the government, rejecting the two men's First Amendment assertions and their claims under the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the same 1993 statute that Indiana legislators used in developing their new state law. But last August, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's decision and sent the case back to that court after finding the government's action would violate the federal RFRA. On March 10, the federal government returned the eagle feathers to Soto. But the legal war isn't over. The federal government still maintains it can criminally prosecute Soto and his congregants, so Soto is seeking a preliminary injunction, claiming the feds are violating the federal RFRA, said Luke Goodrich, Soto's attorney who's with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. A tea used by a Brazilian faith is to them like wine used by Catholics at communion, but U.S. agents considered the brew an illegal drug.

The revised policy comes in response to a June ruling by a federal judge that said the old process was in violation of the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process. The decision was part of an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit brought on behalf of 13 Americans on the list. But the ACLU isn't satisfied with the government's new policy, outlined in documents filed Monday in federal courts in Oregon (PDF) and Virginia (PDF). \"After years of fighting in court for complete secrecy and losing, it's good that the government is finally now going to tell people of their status on the No Fly List,\" said Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU National Security Project and the lead attorney on the case, in a statement. \"Unfortunately, we've found that the government's new redress process falls far short of constitutional requirements because it denies our clients meaningful notice, evidence, and a hearing. The government had an opportunity to come up with a fair process but failed, so we're challenging it in court again.\" People on the no-fly list, managed by the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center, are prohibited from boarding a commercial flight for travel into or out of the United States. The number of people on the list is classified. An official with knowledge of the government's figures told CNN in 2012 that the list contained about 21,000 names, including about 500 Americans. Before the change, American citizens and permanent residents who inquired with the government about being denied aircraft boarding received a letter that neither confirmed nor denied their inclusion on the no-fly list. Now, they'll be made aware of their status if they apply for redress, with an option to request further information. \"The U.S. government is making enhancements to the Department of Homeland Security Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP) to provide additional transparency and process for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents who have been denied boarding on a commercial aircraft because they are on the No Fly List,\" the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. In cases in which travelers included on the list request to receive or submit more information about their status, the government will provide a second, more detailed response, identifying \"specific criterion under which the individual has been placed on the No Fly List,\" according to the court documents.

St. Louis police have charged Ronald Williams, 21, with assault. A 15-year-old has also been arrested, according to authorities. There had been speculation that the suspects might be charged with a hate crime because the victim was white and the people who attacked him were black. And because the punches were thrown following the Michael Brown reference. But that won't be happening. \"Specifically, when put in context, it did not support the finding that the acts in this case met the elements of the hate crime statute in the state of Missouri, specifically proving the motivating factor behind the individual that we have charged, Ed Postawko with the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office told CNN affilaite KMOV.

Wang Qiushi, the lawyer for one of the women, Wei Tingting, said police had recommended on April 6 that prosecutors press charges of \"assembling a crowd to disturb public order.\" Wang told CNN that prosecutors had to decide whether to pursue the charges within seven days of the submission -- by Monday. \"We hope that the prosecutors will not approve a formal arrest warrant, following the laws and standing up to pressure,\" he said. \"But nobody knows what to expect till Monday; we can do nothing but wait.\" The five were initially held on suspicion of \"picking quarrels and provoking trouble.\" Wang said he didn't know why the charge against the women changed. \"Neither should constitute a crime,\" he said. Campaign group Amnesty International said the new charge was less serious but still carried a maximum jail term of five years. \"The women were doing nothing wrong, nothing illegal. They were simply calling for an end to sexual harassment,\" William Nee, China researcher at Amnesty International told CNN. \"Everything they were doing was in line with China's own laws and policies.\" Wang said that Wei had been subject to lengthy cross examinations during her detention but was well the last time they met on March 31.

At 9:02 a.m., the explosives detonated, killing 168 people, including 19 children. This wasn't the work of a foreign terrorist group. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, former U.S. Army soldiers, were convicted of the attack. McVeigh was executed in 2001, and Nichols is serving a life sentence. Twenty years later, domestic terror threats range from white supremacists to eco-terrorists to anti-government extremists and radical separatist groups, according to the FBI. The FBI's goal, of course, is to prevent \"homegrown attacks\" before they happen. Unfortunately, this isn't always possible. When acts of domestic terror do occur, the FBI investigates and tries to catch those responsible. From McVeigh and Nichols to Eric Rudolph to Ted Kaczynski, the FBI is often successful, but every once in a while, the suspects get away. These are the FBI's most-wanted domestic terrorist fugitives: . It was September 26, 1981, when a crowd gathered at John F. Kennedy International Airport for an anti-apartheid demonstration. Among the protestors, the FBI says, was Donna Joan Borup, an alleged member of the May 19th Communist Organization. The radical group advocated overthrowing the U.S. government. The protest turned violent, and Borup allegedly tossed a caustic substance in the eyes of a Port Authority police officer. According to the Port Authority, he \"lost all or most of his sight.\" Borup and others were arrested and released on bail, but Borup never showed up for her trial. An arrest warrant was issued in 1982. Today, she would be in her late 50s to mid-60s, standing between five feet four inches and five feet six inches. According to the FBI, Borup \"is thought to have a photographic memory and is highly intelligent.\" The FBI considers her \"armed and dangerous.\" Cheri Laverne Dalton is wanted for her alleged involvement in the Brinks Armored Car robbery on October 20, 1981, when a group of political radicals associated with the Black Liberation Army robbed $1.6 million from a Brink's truck in Nanuet, New York. Time Magazine reported in November of that year that the attack happened shortly before 4 p.m. when Brink's guards Peter Paige and Joe Trombino loaded the money into their truck. Suddenly armed robbers attacked. They opened fire, killing Paige. Trombino was seriously injured, but survived and kept working for Brinks until he was killed in the September 11, 2001, attacks while making a delivery in the World Trade Center. According to the FBI, the robbers drove away after the Brink's robbery, allegedly meeting up with members of the Weather Underground -- another radical organization. They switched cars and drove off.

+{"article": "(CNN)Atop the Amazon bestselling books list this month sat an unexpected title: \"Secret Garden.\" It wasn't Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 novel about a sour little girl's magical place, making a book club comeback. It was a similarly named coloring book that adults were buying, for themselves, and it wasn't the only one in the top 10. Johanna Basford's \"Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt & Coloring Book\" (now at No. 3 on Amazon) along with her second effort, \"Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest & Coloring Book\" (No. 6); \"Balance (Angie's Extreme Stress Menders Volume 1)\" by Angie Grace (No. 9); and \"The Mindfulness Colouring Book: Anti-stress Art Therapy for Busy People\" by Emma Farrarons (No. 8 on Amazon UK) are selling at a rapid clip. Though they can be used by kids, these and other new coloring book titles are being marketed to stressed-out, work-addled adults, who want to benefit from the quiet zen that a coloring session can bring. \"Adult coloring is absolutely a growing trend and consumers are really taking to the idea,\" Farrarons' U.S. publisher, Matthew Lore of The Experiment publishing group, wrote in an email. \"Not only is it calming and good for your health, it's just fun! The demand is increasing exponentially as the word spreads.\" While Farrarons and Basford are based in the UK, the concept is taking off in the U.S. too, with the publication of titles like Virginia-based art therapist Lacy Mucklow and illustrator Angela Porter's \"Color Me Calm\" and \"Color Me Happy,\" created for the minds and motor skills of Mom and Dad, not the kids. The trend doesn't seem to be letting up. Basford is working on a third title, Farrarons has been commissioned for a second book, and Mucklow and Porter will release \"Color Me Stress-Free\" in September. Adults have long used crafts to unwind, but why coloring books? Why now? It may have something to do with online access -- and, funnily enough, the desire to unplug. Ordering a coloring book that suits adult tastes online is easier than walking into a bookstore where the only options have Barbie or Thomas the Tank Engine themes. Plus, everyone's favorite online crafting hub, Pinterest, is a treasure trove of adult coloring pages, with themes ranging from nature and animals to classic paintings. Meanwhile, like children, adults need a break from screen time -- and many are rediscovering the analog pleasures of coloring inside the lines. \"I'm a grown-up, but I still love coloring books,\" novelist Matt Cain proclaimed in a piece for The Guardian. \"If I switch off the phone, computer and TV and concentrate solely on choosing the right shade of blue, avoiding going over the lines and slowly filling up my page with colour, all my other concerns, I've discovered, fade to nothing,\" Cain wrote.

+{"article": "(CNN)A year after its Cannes debut and finally seeing a theatrical release, \"Lost River\" is still causing quite a stir. Booed at its premiere and mocked by reviewers, Ryan Gosling's first feature as director has been divisive, to put it mildly. But there has been one shining light cutting through the fog of critical hyperbole: its setting, a besmirched and decaying Detroit. Wavering on the brink of annihilation, yet providing kindling for its own rebirth, the city is captured in all its waning splendor, the perfect backdrop for Gosling's post-industrial gothic. Speaking about the film in London, Gosling made clear that the city was at the heart of the project -- in fact, without Detroit's crumbling edifices there would be no film at all. Gosling said that \"Lost River\" began as a collection of speculative shots of the Brewster-Douglass Projects, the first black social housing development in America and a place Motown legends The Supremes and boxer Joe Louis once called home. \"I heard [the authorities] were going to tear them down,\" Gosling said. \"I had to shoot them before they did.\" Taking time out between acting jobs, he ventured into the projects. \"I started shooting more and more,\" he explained, \"and then I realized that I was making a film. Then I started writing [the script] during the process of filming.\" Gosling's affection for the Motor City is longstanding, the actor growing up \"not too far away\" in Cornwall, Ontario. \"It seemed like everything cool came from Detroit... the whole American Dream,\" he reminisces. \"The Model-T, Motown, the refrigerator...\" Now though he references \"40 miles of dead neighborhoods,\" the city declaring bankruptcy. \"Houses are burning and things are being torn down,\" he says, \"and within that there are families trying to hold on to their homes. For them it has become a nightmare and I wanted to make a film about that.\" The title itself alludes to a once thriving community now displaced, its homes at the bottom of a reservoir built with little concern for the residents -- man-made interference with untold social repercussions. Speaking in broader terms, Gosling argues \"there are Lost Rivers everywhere and we wanted to share the experience these people were having.\" On screen he paints a nihilistic image of wanton destruction; torched properties and bulldozers jostling for our attention amid acts of extreme human violence -- sometimes self-inflicted. The director plainly states that as a location it \"was pretty dangerous.\" He describes \"an energy there that was threatening... We had a very charmed experience [filming]. It worked its way into the fabric of the movie --- a tone of impending threat that was just there.\" However there are signs of humanity and regeneration amongst the chaos, on camera and off. For the film's young protagonist, every raid on an unoccupied house offers copper piping waiting to be recast and ultimately reclaimed. Similarly, Gosling references the Heidelberg Project during the discussion, a community organization in the city's McDougall-Hunt neighborhood, reimagining derelict buildings as giant canvases for budding artists. He recalls seeing \"one house covered with teddy", "summary": "Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, \"Lost River\", is set in the city of Detroit ."}
+{"article": "(CNN)North Korea is in the headlines again. According to a Wall Street Journal report Thursday, Chinese nuclear experts have told the United States that Pyongyang may already have as many as 20 nuclear warheads. And while that number may seem stunning, it is actually only part of a troubling story. The key takeaway from the latest assessment of North Korea's nuclear capability is not in the actual number of warheads, but the type of warhead, as this gives a better clue to the future of the country's weapons capabilities. True, the reported Chinese estimate of 20 warheads is large enough to constitute a nuclear \"arsenal.\" However, this number is not actually significantly larger than conventional open source estimates of 10 to 15 warheads previously provided by U.S. and other experts. The big takeaway from the report is instead the prediction that North Korea could be in a position to double its arsenal by next year with weapons-grade uranium. If that assessment is correct, and Pyongyang can indeed boost its nuclear stockpile by the end of this year to around 40 warheads by utilizing highly-enriched weapons-grade uranium, then the plutonium program that the U.S. and members of the Six-Party talks had been negotiating over this past quarter century would suddenly seem trivial. After all, the plutonium program might be capable of spitting out maybe a few weapons worth of plutonium annually. This news could be much more serious. Why? For a start, it would mean that North Korea's activities would undoubtedly meet the definition, if it had not already, of a runaway nuclear weapons program, with the potential to be fueled by a large supply of raw uranium buried in North Korea's mines. In addition, while the plutonium program at Yongbyon has a clear and detectable profile, the thousands of centrifuges that spin in a uranium-based program have no detectable heat signature or topographic profile, meaning you could store the stuff not just in the labyrinth of underground tunnels in North Korea, undetectable from the sky, but in any large warehouse. Washington and Seoul have tended to have a policy that leans toward downplaying North Korean threats, at least when there isn't a full-fledged crisis going on. For example, the United States downplayed North Korea's missile threat until the country successfully put a satellite into orbit in December 2012. And up until 2006, no one thought the Kim regime would actually dare undertake a nuclear test. These new estimates could therefore be a timely reminder that we may have downplayed the threat North Korea poses once again. But Thursday's report isn't the only troubling information we have had recently. Just as concerning is the NORAD commander's assessment on North Korea's missile capabilities. On April 7, Adm. Bill Gortney said during a press briefing that the Defense Department believed Pyongyang's KN-08 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is operational, with a warhead capacity. This statement is troubling for two reasons. First, Gortney's statement, when combined with the latest Chinese assessment, implies that North Korea now not only has nuclear weapons, but the ability to miniaturize such", "summary": "Report says North Korea may have as many as 20 nuclear warheads .

+{"article": "(CNN)There is a special kind of hell reserved for the women who fall into the clutches of today's Jihadi fighters. We are all familiar with the brutality of ISIS, the self-anointed Islamic State, or Boko Haram, the Nigerian terrorists who have pledged allegiance to ISIS. This new wave of violent Islamist groups proudly brandishes medieval methods of cruelty through modern technology as a tool of recruitment and intimidation. But there is something very different about the way they treat women. The jihadi chiefs have a strategy beyond the battlefield. Their treatment of their female victims plays an important part in their ambitious radical strategy. Killing the enemy, the men, is a tactic for winning battles and conquering territory. What they do to women has an altogether different purpose: It is part of the larger plan of building a \"caliphate,\" a Sharia-ruled state complete with controls and norms harking back to the seventh century or, rather, to the group's interpretation of life in the early days of Islam. Yazidi girls who slipped ISIS after its siege of Mount Sinjar describe how they were sent to slave warehouses along with hundreds of other women. There, they were lined up in groups of 50 and displayed for ISIS fighters to choose among them, some for marriage, others for sexual slavery. The stories told to journalists or to human rights workers are confirmed by doctors who have examined the girls and say they have found evidence of repeated sexual assault. An investigation by Human Rights Watch found \"a system of organized rape and sexual assault, sexual slavery, and forced marriage by ISIS forces,\" actions that the group says \"are war crimes and may be crimes against humanity.\" In Nigeria, Boko Haram also has a very specific approach to women. The 276 students kidnapped one year ago make up a small portion of the 2,000 women and girls kidnapped by the group since 2014, according to Amnesty International. There, too, women captives move from house to house and village to village, forced to convert when they are not Muslim, and prepare for marriage to jihadis. It's a stark change from the previous generation of jihadis, when Osama bin Laden headed al Qaeda. Women were not a big part of al Qaeda's immediate plans because al Qaeda, unlike ISIS, viewed the establishment of a caliphate as a distant goal, one for future generations. In contrast, ISIS is actively engaged in building those social structures. And if you want to build a new society, you need more than soldiers. You also need women. Women are indispensable for establishing a functioning community, even one whose laws are brutally repressive. Even if women are viewed as the property of men, they are still needed, not just for cooking, cleaning and sex, but to keep the home and raise children; hence the methodical capture, assault and subjugation. It is no accident that Boko Haram has targeted students, as it did in Chibok, or that Somalia's Al-Shabaab Islamists killed scores of women in the massacre at Kenya's Garissa University in Kenya.

+{"article": "(CNN)This article contains language that may be offensive to some. Since the news broke last weekend that Hillary Clinton had declared her candidacy, notable among the blitz of news stories are the many that refer to her as the mononymous \"Hillary,\" as if she were a pop star in a pantsuit. The New York Post published an item titled \"Lena Dunham backs Hillary for President\" while gossip site TMZ refers to the former FLOTUS, U.S. senator, and secretary of state on a first-name basis throughout its news story on the announcement. Even The New Republic posted a piece about the run called \"There's Nothing Inevitable about Hillary.\" She's famous enough by now to go by one name, but should she? While Clinton is arguably more widely known than any of her to-date opponents, she's also a former U.S. senator and secretary of state. She's not Beyonc\u00e9. And yet, despite her decorated career in government, we've long called Clinton by her first name, and her first name only, in a way we don't do with men who have held similar, or even vaguely similar, positions of power. According to a University of Utah study, Clinton was called by her first name four times more than her 2008 rival, Barack Obama, and so it goes this time around. After all, Rand's also running for president. So is Marco. When those guys declared, however, they got headlines that included their last names. There's a very good reason for that. Presidential candidates are not just professionals, but professionals declaring their candidacy for a position that many consider to be the most powerful in the world. A position that not only deserves formality and respect, but within a global context seems to require it. Being president of the United States is a serious job. Are there \"Ted for President\" signs in our future? Unlikely. Were we encouraged to \"Vote for Mitt\"? Nope. The U.S. Army, meanwhile, is one of the most regimented organizations in the world, whose values put dignity and respect at top priority. Cadets don't call their commanding officers by their first names, even -- maybe especially -- if they're women. So why are we all referring to the possible next commander-in-chief as if we're part of her circle of close pals? Before you point to the fact that Clinton is not the first Clinton to cross this particular political threshold, the issue at hand is not one of practicality: The American public is smart enough to distinguish between this Clinton and that Clinton. George W. Bush wasn't the first in his family to run for office, and when he did, legitimate newspapers didn't go around noting the \"W\" (or even \"Dubya\") was up for the job. He was just Bush, as he should have been, just as Clinton is just Clinton, a woman who has done a very good job distinguishing herself from her husband without the need to be referred to by her first name in order to avoid a case of mistaken identity.

The desperate search for survivors from the country's worst natural disaster in more than 80 years continued. The number of people confirmed dead in Nepal stands at 3,218, said Nepalese Ministry of Home Affairs spokesman Laxmi Dhakal. India has reported 56 deaths, and China another 20. The death toll is expected to climb further as officials get information from the rugged countryside that makes up most of Nepal. As day broke Monday, Nepal was still in survival mode after suffering a series of aftershocks following the huge initial quake on Saturday. The damage was everywhere. Stunned residents wandered the streets of Kathmandu, the capital city of roughly 3 million people that's now the focus of international disaster relief efforts. People dug through piles of debris where their homes once stood, seeking pieces of their former lives and, possibly, family members. Many of the injured were treated outside overflowing hospitals, where crowds of people gathered looking for relatives. Dhakal, the government spokesman, said Monday 6,525 people were reported to have been injured. One video aired on Nepal State Television captured a rare bright moment amid the death and devastation. It shows uniformed officers digging though rubble, desperately trying to free a man who is hurt but alive. Rescuers lift him up, and cheers of joy erupt from the crowd. The clip shows him being put on a stretcher and carried to safety. But often, searchers have found bodies rather than survivors.

Get Rid of this Statue.\" The sculpture, a gift to the town from its original owners, has been on display since 2009. Artist Dave Poulin has \"had plenty of opportunity to step forward, and our last conversation he wanted $8,000 to $10,000,\" Celoron Mayor Scott Schrecengost said. \"And then he stated that if we didn't have the funds and we didn't like the statue, we should take it down and put it in storage.\" After the story of the statue caught fire online this weekend, Poulin publicly apologized Monday for his \"most unsettling sculpture\" in a letter to The Hollywood Reporter. \"I take full responsibility for 'Scary Lucy,' though by no means was that my intent or did I wish to disparage in any way the memories of the iconic Lucy image,\" Poulin wrote in the letter (PDF). \"From the day of its installation, I have shared my disappointment in the final outcome and have always believed it to be by far my most unsettling sculpture, not befitting of Lucy's beauty or my ability as a sculptor.\" Poulin said he has been talking to Celoron officials for several years about removing and redoing the sculpture. It seems that cost has been the chief barrier. \"It puzzles me when an art work is donated to a community, they accept it, and then get angry and insist you redo the art work at your own expense.\" Poulin wrote in the letter. But the recent media attention to the sculpture seems to have changed his mind. \"I am willing to put my time and money into redoing the Lucy sculpture and feel confident after ten years I can do a much better job,\" Poulin wrote.

On Thursday, Houthi rebels seized the presidential palace in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden, a neutral security official and two Houthi commanders in Aden told CNN. The palace had been where President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, who fled the country last month, had stayed for a period of time after Houthis secured control of the capital, Sanaa, in January. According to the security official, Houthis now control most large districts in Aden amid ongoing clashes. Yemeni special forces, considered pro-Houthi and loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, arrived in Aden on Thursday in an attempt \"to secure the city,\" a Saudi official with knowledge of the situation told CNN. \"I can now confirm that it is not Saudi special forces who have landed but Yemeni special forces loyal to Saleh who landed by small boat. They are few in number and have made their way to the old parliament building,\" the intelligence official said. U.S. Navy warships, meanwhile, were patrolling off Yemen in search of suspicious shipping in the region, in particular any weapons shipments from Iran to the Houthi rebels they are supporting in Yemen, a U.S. defense official told CNN. The Navy on Wednesday came across a Panamanian-registered cargo ship that had left an Iranian port, the official said. Based on the route of the ship from Iran to Yemen, the Navy declared it a \"vessel of interest\" and requested permission from the captain to search it. The ship was found to be carrying cement and construction materials, the official said. It was sent on its way. The offshore area has been a route for weapons smuggling into Yemen, as well as Sudan and Gaza, so the Navy has maintained a regular surveillance presence there. The official said that increased fighting in the last several days in southern Yemen has resulted in other ships trying to dock to help civilians leave the country. Marie Claire Feghali, an International Committee of the Red Cross spokeswoman in Sanaa, described events in Aden as \"extremely fluid and very, very complicated.\" \"Hospitals are still struggling, running out of supplies. So are we,\" she said. \"We cannot move much in Aden due to the intense fighting and chaos.\" A hospital near heavy fighting was forced to shut down.

For 43 years Cuba has provided refuge for Hill from facing charges that he killed a New Mexico police officer and hijacked an airliner to Havana. Hill, now 65, decided to give CNN an interview after we'd spent two years trying to reach him. He wants to discuss how for the first time he is considering leaving his safe haven and returning to the United States. Before talking more, Hill finishes his plastic glass of beer and takes a final draw on his stub of a cigarette. We step out into the sunlight and go to a park where Hill starts to give his reasons why he may soon end his long run from the law. \"I miss my country,\" he said, his voice cracking. \"I miss my family. I would like to go back and see where my grandparents were born, where I was born, where I went to junior high. Eat some blackberry pie. Even go to McDonald's.

New Mexico, where Hill's case has been open for decades, followed up on the shift in policy from the Obama administration with Gov. Susana Martinez asking Washington to pursue Hill's extradition. Critics of the new opening to Cuba say Havana's harboring of fugitives like Charlie Hill is enough of a reason to maintain a hard line against the government of Raul Castro and keep Cuba on the State Department list of countries that support terrorism. State Dept. recommends removing Cuba from terrorism list . Hill, now 65, may extradite himself first, saying the warming of relations between the United States and Cuba could mean an end to what he calls his \"exile\" on the communist-run, Caribbean island, even if his return brings jail time. New Mexico Police Chief Pete Kassetas said he welcomed the news of Hill's possible surrender. \"I understand that the social environment was very different in 1971 than it is today.

+{"article": "(CNN)Would you build a house with water? Hungarian architect Matyas Gutai believes that water is the perfect material for keeping a house at a comfortable temperature. And while that doesn't mean that he can do away with traditional materials like bricks, cement, and plaster, his system promotes a whole new idea of engineering. Gutai built a prototype house in his hometown of Kecskemet, south of Budapest, with his high school friend Milan Berenyi, after years of research and development. The house was built with a grant from the EU, and showcases the \"liquid engineering\" concepts Gutai has written about extensively. Panels, some of steel, and some of glass, make up the structure of the house and a sheet of water is trapped between the inner layers, which equalizes the temperature across the building. The house is actually able to reheat itself, when its hot excess heat is stored either in the foundations of the building or in external storage, to be brought back to the walls when the temperature drops. The indoor temperature can also be modified using a monitoring system similar to central heating. This is a very efficient and sustainable system: the house can produce its own energy and be more independent of energy suppliers, which could reduce carbon emissions. \"Our panel can heat and cool the building itself -- the water inside the panel does the very same job as heating,\" says Gutai. \"It saves energy, when you compare it to a similar building with large glass surfaces -- it's a very clean and sustainable solution.\" While studying sustainable architecture at the University of Tokyo, in 2003, Gutai got the idea for his water house from a visit to the open air hot baths. Despite the snowfall outside the pool, Gutai remained comfortably warm inside it -- it was then he realized the importance of water's surface temperature and its potential use in architecture. \"As an architect I think it's really important that this building tries to redefine permanence, which has been a key concept in architecture for thousands of years. Our approach to permanence hasn't changed much at all, but now instead of making something very strong that tries to resist everything, we are making something that adapts to its environment. \"Architecture is really changing in our time. We've reached our limits when it comes to solid architecture, now it's reasonable to look for a new system.\" \"This research dates back seven or eight years,\" explains Gutai. \"I started it at the University of Tokyo and it took us almost six years to get the building done. There are plenty of structural problems involved -- a lot of important questions were raised such as what happens if it's so cold outside that the water freezes or what happens when one panel breaks.\" \"We now mix the water with natural solvents, that do not cause pollution but lower the freezing temperature to an acceptable level. This practically means, that even if the reheating technology fails, the water cannot freeze.\" \"In case of cold climates, like in Hungary, we also", "summary": "Matyas Gutai is pioneering the use of water as an insulator for sustainable architecture .

He is fully dressed; not a tourist but a freedom fighter. A photograph of this man, beamed around the world, becomes a universal symbol of the struggle against tyranny and the sweet triumph of liberty. It is 2015. The man is Peter Greste. If you thought the man might have been an Anzac on the shores of Gallipoli, such is the power of persuasion. It's easy to lead a horse to water when, in the centenary year of the Gallipoli campaign, our nation is at saturation point with battlefield remembrance. The sum total of television programming, beer advertising, political grandstanding and opportunistic marketing suggests that the historical legacy of Australia's involvement in the first world war boils down to a simple equation: young (white) man plus distant beach equals sacrifice. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with military commemoration that honors the dead. Last weekend I planted Gallipoli rosemary in my backyard; part of the proceeds go to the Avenues of Honour, a national project to preserve and restore Australia's living memorials. More objectionable is the fact that war remembrance is played like it is a zero sum game. To widen the scope of historical tribute, and also recall the words and deeds of the Australian men and women who fought against the prescribed route of militaristic sentiment, is to risk being branded disrespectful and divisive. But the unassailable fact is that the first world war ripped Australia asunder. Even at the time, the Great War itself was divisive, a historical reality belied by today's bland, blanket coverage of \"the Anzac spirit\". Australia's participation in the war was contested from the outset. On August 11, 1914, veteran political campaigner Vida Goldstein wrote in her Woman Voter newspaper: \"It is a fearful reflection on 2,000 years of Christianity that men have rushed into war before using every combined effort to prevent this appalling conflict.\" As she had done 20 years earlier in mobilizing forces around the issue of female suffrage, Goldstein rallied her own army of foot soldiers with fighting words. \"The time has come for women to show that they, as givers of life, refuse to give their sons as material for slaughter.\" Australian and New Zealand women had a unique advantage in shaping public debate: the vote. \"The enfranchised women of Australia are political units in the British Empire,\" Goldstein argued, \"and they ought to lead the world in sane methods of dealing with these conflicts.\" Goldstein's early entreaties failed to bite with the general populace. Under the newly legislated War Precautions Act, the Woman Voter suffered censorship, leading Goldstein and her Women's Peace Army to fight on multiple fronts: \"We are fighting for Civil Liberty and against Military Despotism.\" Around the nation, trade unionists opposed to \"the capitalist war\" joined the movement.

The difference here is the governing authority's stamp: The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. It's one of many official documents relating to matters such as vaccination schedules, fishing methods and rent disputes in the areas now controlled by ISIS. For ISIS sees itself as a government operating under a rule of law, even if the group is most often talked about for its barbaric punishment of anyone who resists or defies its medieval interpretation of that Islamic law. The ISIS documents, some shared with CNN by researcher Aymenn Al-Tamimi, give a window into the bureaucracy of the self-declared caliphate. Last summer, ISIS fighters swept through the Iraqi city of Mosul. Once they took power, leaders wanted to show they could bring stability allowing daily life to resume. So, they quickly reopened the University of Mosul, albeit under a radically altered curriculum. Notices went out that classes would resume on 24 Dhu al-Hijjah 1435 in the Islamic calendar (or October 18, 2014, in the Western calendar), about four months after ISIS overran the city. But some subjects would be banned -- democracy and political thought, also hotel management and tourism and archaeology. Families flee ISIS in Iraq . \"The banning of archaeology is not a surprise,\" says Al-Tamimi, who is a Shillman-Ginsburg Fellow at the Middle East Forum at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, in Israel. \"We see that reflected in ISIS destruction of ancient artifacts. ISIS regards pre-Islamic artifacts as relics from the 'period of ignorance', jahiliyah. Their main concern with archaeology is that it would become a subject turning to idol worship, which is strictly forbidden in Islam. \"Hotel management and tourism may seem strange as first. But there are no hotels under ISIS. They have all been taken over and shut down, either rented out or become places to house families.\" Mosul University still has the same professors and teachers, Al-Tamimi says. \"But now teachers are subjected to Sharia sessions, to learn what is and what is not acceptable to ISIS. So, they have preserved the prior system but within ISIS Sharia law conditions.\" The ISIS Health Department runs hospitals for anyone feeling ill, not just wounded fighters. It has maternity wards, health clinics, even a mobile vaccination unit. And while an ancient interpretation of religion remains at the heart of rules, there is more nuance than was seen in Afghanistan and areas still controlled by the Taliban. \"This is one thing that distinguishes ISIS from groups like the Taliban, which forbids vaccinations. Polio is a problem in Pakistan because the Taliban believes the vaccines are a forbidden substance.

In the lawsuit filed Thursday, Kinsman alleges sexual battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Winston has said the sex was consensual.

Crombie died Wednesday from complications of a brain hemorrhage, \"Anne of Green Gables\" producer Kevin Sullivan said. \"It's a real tragedy to see someone at age 48 go like that,\" he said. \"I will remember him as someone who worked extremely hard to make the roles he played onscreen come to life.\" Based on Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery's children's books, \"Anne of Green Gables\" debuted in Canada on CBC TV in 1984 and became a cultural touchstone. The plot focused on the adventures of fiery orphan Anne Shirley, played by Megan Follows, who is sent to live on a farm in Prince Edward Island. Crombie played Gilbert Blythe, who evolves over time from Anne's pigtail-tugging tormentor to friend to husband. Follows and Crombie reprised the roles in the sequels \"Anne of Avonlea\" (1987) and \"Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story\" (2000). The movies were carried in the United States by the Disney Channel and PBS, drawing a cult following beyond Canada and extending to Japan, which made its own animated series based on the books. Crombie, son of former Toronto Mayor David Crombie, was cast in the role at 17, beating out other aspiring Canadian actors of the era, including Jason Priestly, Sullivan said. Despite his lack of acting experience, Crombie's boy-next-door looks and cool demeanor made him the perfect actor to star opposite Follows, Sullivan said. \"It was an amazing chemistry between him and Megan Follows,\" Sullivan said. \"There was a lot of affection, but they kind of grounded each other.\" The movies spawned various spinoffs, including \"Road to Avonlea,\" starring child actor Sarah Polley, and turned Anne's fictional home on Prince Edward Island into a popular tourist destination.

Photographer Jeff Gusky, who has been chronicling details of the site, describes the inscriptions -- and the underground city in which they were found -- as \"breathtaking.\" \"This is a treasure trove,\" he said Monday night from his home in East Texas, where he works as an ER doctor. \"Even locally, no one realized what was there.\" Gusky, a National Geographic photographer, has chronicled the area in a portfolio he calls \"The Hidden World of WWI.\" The revelations of the underground city, which extends for miles in some directions, have come to light recently only because of a series of events, Gusky said. The underground city actually dates back centuries but was sealed up in the 18th century. It was rediscovered in the late 19th century. During World War I, soldiers would take refuge in the carved-out rooms and pathways. The front was sometimes mere miles away; the Battle of the Somme, one of the bloodiest in world history, was fought nearby in 1916. The land was privately owned for many years and generally off-limits to outsiders, said Gusky, but it changed hands in 2013. The rights to operate it were purchased by a consortium of villages that wanted to promote awareness of the area's history, he said. Researching the city is a painstaking task. For one thing, it's dark, so observers generally haven't realized what's in there until they've gone exploring. Moreover, the maze-like extensiveness of the site has made discovery a slow process. \"They go on and on and on. They're so elaborate in some places, there are maps carved into stone so the soldiers wouldn't get lost,\" he said. The graffiti looks like it was written yesterday, he added. Gusky has noted 1,821 names. About 40% are Australian, with most of the others identified as British. Fifty-five are Americans, and 662 have yet to be traced. For Gusky, the graffiti provides a human connection with men who lived a century ago. In many cases, they just wanted to be remembered, he said. \"Someone could be in this place one day and the next fighting at the front,\" he said.

There were no actors of color nominated and no women in the directing category, which was dominated by white males. Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez I\u00f1arritu went on to win best director for \"Birdman.\" The lack of diversity was so glaring (even with the mostly black cast of the movie \"Selma,\" which received a nomination for best picture) that it spurred the Twitter hashtag \"#OscarsSoWhite.\" In contrast, \"Furious 7\" couldn't be more racially and ethnically inclusive. The cast includes Dwayne \"The Rock\" Johnson -- a Samoan/black man -- black actors Christopher \"Ludacris\" Bridges and Tyrese Gibson, Hispanic performer Michelle Rodriguez, Thai martial artist Tony Jaa, Beninese expatriate Djimon Hounsou and the late Paul Walker, a blue-eyed, blond-haired California native. The filmmakers even went so far as to make sure casting directors in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, where key scenes were filmed, found diverse extras. \"We were mainly looking for the diverse look of the (United Arab Emirates),\" Miranda Davidson, owner of the casting company, told The National. \"They really wanted to make sure we reflected the international feel of the country.\" Almost since the beginning, the \"Fast and Furious\" films have had a diverse focus and appeal.

And in October 2011, Kenya Defense Forces invaded Somalia, where Al-Shabaab is based, with the crushing Operation Linda Nchi, Swahili for \"Protect the Country.\" Thus began a bloody vicious cycle, with Al-Shabaab retaliating on Kenyan soil with ever more spectacular mass killings. Here are some of the most heinous attacks on Kenya by the Somali terrorist group. Early Thursday, while many students still slept, at least four gunman burst into a Christian prayer service at Garissa University College, leading into Easter Weekend. They shot students and took hostages, whom they herded across campus. As they encountered students, they separated them into Muslims and Christians. They spared the former, eyewitness Joel Ayora said. They killed the latter. Kenyan special forces moved in at the campus located about 90 miles from Somalia's southern border. They killed four gunman, but not before 147 victims were shot dead. In December, Al-Shabaab militants carried out the same macabre division of captives by religion at a rock quarry not far from the Somali border. They shot Christian workers dead, and spared their Muslim colleagues. Red Cross Workers counted at least 36 bodies dumped into the quarry. It was eye-for-an-eye retaliation, the militants said, for raids Kenyan security forces carried out on mosques intended to weed out extremists. Parallel to Operation Linda Nchi, Kenya has gone after ethnic Somalis within their own borders triggering protest by Human Rights Watch, which has accused the government of ethnic profiling and mistreatment. In a 2011 case, Kenyan authorities reportedly rounded up ethnic Somalis in Garissa and let them sit in the mud, while beating some of them, HRW alleged. Passengers on a bus in Kenya's north were told to recite from the Quran or die in November 2014. Shortly after the bus carrying some 60 people departed Mandera, near Somalia's border, Al-Shabaab gunmen stopped it in a hilly area and barged in. Those who failed to recite verses were gunned down, leaving 28 dead. In its claim of responsibility, Al-Shabaab said the dead were Christians, and their killing was retaliation mosque raids by Kenyans. A day after the attack, Kenyan security forces retaliated with an offensive across the border into Somalia. They claimed to kill 100 Al-Shabaab militants. In July, Al-Shabaab gunmen opened fire on the Lamu coast, a popular tourist region, and at a police station in a neighboring county. They killed 22 people.

Then you're not Marleni Olivo, who did exactly that, and in return is getting the new apartment she was asking for, said Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Olivo, 54, saw her opportunity when Maduro visited Anzoategui, the state where she lives. Maduro, a former bus driver, drove a bus to a rally Wednesday where he was meeting with supporters. The president had the window open, the better to greet people attending the rally. Olivo had written a message on a mango -- \"If you can, call me,\" -- along with her name and phone number. She got as close as she could and, as the bus passed, she tossed the fruit at Maduro. In a video that has gone viral in Venezuela, Maduro is shown lowering his head when he is hit, just above the left ear. He then calmly picks up the mango and holds it up to the crowd. Later in the evening, the president mentioned the incident in one of his customary live TV broadcasts and displayed the infamous mango as proof. \"Marleni Olivo,\" Maduro said. \"We're going to invite her to my [TV and radio] show, 'In Touch with Maduro.' She had a housing problem, right? And, Marleni, I have approved it already, as part of the Great Housing Mission of Venezuela, you will get an apartment and it will be given to you in the next few hours. Tomorrow, no later than the day after tomorrow, we will give it to you.\" Maduro also joked that he had something in common with the mango. The word \"maduro\" in Spanish means ripe. Olivo told local media her intention was to toss the president a note, as others in the crowd were doing. \"I didn't have paper available at that moment,\" she told El Pitazo TV. \"What I had was a mango that I was about to eat because I was hungry.\" Maduro's critics are calling the incident a \"manguicidio,\" a play on the words \"mango\" and \"magnicidio,\" a Spanish word meaning assassination of a powerful leader. In Venezuela's extremely polarized political climate, Maduro frequently talks about his belief that the opposition is conspiring to target him for assassination. But the mango-thrower says she had no evil intent. \"My dream is to own a home before I die,\" she told El Pitazo TV, adding that she had been very ill recently, that she suffers from diabetes and hypertension. And now her dream is about come true, a dream that would not have been possible without her boldness and a little help from a tasty mango.", "summary": "Marleni Olivo, 54, hit Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in the head with a mango .

The formal accession was marked with a ceremony at The Hague, in the Netherlands, where the court is based. The Palestinians signed the ICC's founding Rome Statute in January, when they also accepted its jurisdiction over alleged crimes committed \"in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, since June 13, 2014.\" Later that month, the ICC opened a preliminary examination into the situation in Palestinian territories, paving the way for possible war crimes investigations against Israelis. As members of the court, Palestinians may be subject to counter-charges as well. Israel and the United States, neither of which is an ICC member, opposed the Palestinians' efforts to join the body. But Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki, speaking at Wednesday's ceremony, said it was a move toward greater justice. \"As Palestine formally becomes a State Party to the Rome Statute today, the world is also a step closer to ending a long era of impunity and injustice,\" he said, according to an ICC news release. \"Indeed, today brings us closer to our shared goals of justice and peace.\" Judge Kuniko Ozaki, a vice president of the ICC, said acceding to the treaty was just the first step for the Palestinians. \"As the Rome Statute today enters into force for the State of Palestine, Palestine acquires all the rights as well as responsibilities that come with being a State Party to the Statute. These are substantive commitments, which cannot be taken lightly,\" she said. Rights group Human Rights Watch welcomed the development. \"Governments seeking to penalize Palestine for joining the ICC should immediately end their pressure, and countries that support universal acceptance of the court's treaty should speak out to welcome its membership,\" said Balkees Jarrah, international justice counsel for the group. \"What's objectionable is the attempts to undermine international justice, not Palestine's decision to join a treaty to which over 100 countries around the world are members.\" In January, when the preliminary ICC examination was opened, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described it as an outrage, saying the court was overstepping its boundaries. The United States also said it \"strongly\" disagreed with the court's decision. \"As we have said repeatedly, we do not believe that Palestine is a state and therefore we do not believe that it is eligible to join the ICC,\" the State Department said in a statement. It urged the warring sides to resolve their differences through direct negotiations. \"We will continue to oppose actions against Israel at the ICC as counterproductive to the cause of peace,\" it said. But the ICC begs to differ with the definition of a state for its purposes and refers to the territories as \"Palestine.\" While a preliminary examination is not a formal investigation, it allows the court to review evidence and determine whether to investigate suspects on both sides.

The devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday set off avalanches that left large numbers of climbers dead, missing, injured or trapped on Mount Everest. And aftershocks, including a strong one Sunday, are continuing to send snow and rocks thundering down the mountainside, complicating rescue efforts. \"We were sitting here in base camp, feeling the situation was getting better,\" said climber Carsten Pederson. \"And then suddenly, we felt the aftershock,\" he told CNN on Sunday. \"And immediately after the shock, we hear avalanches from all the mountains around us.\" But those avalanches didn't appear to be on the same scale as those that came roaring down on the camp Saturday. The base camp on the Nepal side of Everest is in a vulnerable spot, sitting in a valley surrounded by high Himalayan peaks. When the huge, lengthy quake struck Saturday, the scores of climbers who had gathered there to prepare for or recover from ascents of the peak had nowhere to run. \"An earthquake that long set off avalanches all the way around us. And they came down -- they were large, they were massive avalanches,\" said Jon Reiter, an American mountaineer at the base camp. People tried to flee as the onrushing wall of snow, ice and rocks took out large sections of the camp. \"They were trying to outrun the avalanche and you cannot,\" said Pederson. \"So many people were hit from behind, blown off the mountain, blown into rocks, hit by debris, tents were flying off.\" He said he took shelter behind a large pile of stones. \"I could hardly breathe, but I could stay until the avalanche was over,\" he told CNN. A huge cloud of snow dust billowed hundreds of feet into the sky. \"We all ducked for cover until the cloud passed and then started dealing with the aftermath,\" Reiter said. That included at least 17 people killed, dozens injured and many others missing, he said. They are one part of the enormous human toll in Nepal and beyond from the catastrophic quake. The many unhurt people at the camp scrambled to help the injured, digging them out of the snow and turning dining tents into makeshift field hospitals. Snow that continued to fall made it hard for them to see, hampering their efforts. Climbers worked in shifts through the night, nursing the injured as they waited for the weather conditions to improve to allow helicopters in. \"A lot of them are in pretty tough shape,\" Reiter said of the injured.

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 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.

South African Police Services said more than 10,000 people attended the march, including civil rights groups and nongovernmental organizations. Hashtags are now pouring out of South Africa.

Attacks this week in Durban alone have killed two immigrants and three South Africans, including a 14-year-old boy, authorities said. For South African Tim Flack, tweeting wasn't going to make a bit of difference.

The Zulu people in South Africa take him very seriously, they don't question what he says.\" Flack said he was motivated to make the allegations after seeing multiple complaints about xenophobic violence on social media and thinking they weren't enough.

Flack hopes others will also make complaints. Flack added that Zulus aren't the only people in South Africa who share in the xenophobic sentiment. \"People are frustrated and unemployed, and people in South Africa pay foreign nationals a lot less,\" he said of the tension between nationals and immigrants. \"A domestic worker would ask for 250 rand a day to clean a house, whereas a foreign national would ask for 150 rand, so it causes resentment.\" Imtiaz Sooliman, founder and chairman of the Gift of Givers Foundation in Durban, doesn't think most South Africans are against foreigners. \"South Africans are against xenophobia,\" said Sooliman, who insists the majority of the country is providing an overwhelming amount of support for foreign nationals.

Instead, he died following a car crash -- after helping victims of another accident. \"Derek Shepherd is and will always be an incredibly important character -- for Meredith (Grey), for me and for the fans,\" show creator Shonda Rhimes said in a statement, according to The Hollywood Reporter. \"I absolutely never imagined saying goodbye to our 'McDreamy.'

+{"article": "(CNN)Danny Kahneman, my good friend and co-author who got a Nobel Prize in economics, once helped to run an experiment involving patients undergoing colonoscopies. One group received a mildly pleasurable experience at the end of the procedure; the other group, which experienced the same type of colonoscopy, did not. It turns out that the group for whom things ended well had significantly more positive recollections of the whole affair from its beginning. The psychology of it is simple to understand: Happy endings matter. Even an unpleasant experience can lead to happy memories in hindsight if it ends well. So too with taxes. Let's just say that when it comes to taxes for the average American, \"stuff\" happens (keeping the colonoscopy metaphor running), paycheck to tax-reduced paycheck. But recent statistics suggest that 8 out of 10 American taxpayers get a refund when they file their taxes, and the average amount is close to $3000. That pays for a lot of stuff. To make the good news even better, tax filing has gotten rather simple for most people, with various software and service providers offering to do the dreaded paperwork for free. No filing headaches and a check to boot. What's not to like? The fact of the matter is there is plenty not to like when it comes to the U.S. tax system. For example, the laws are biased against two-worker marriages; taxes go up when two relatively equal earners marry, as the rate brackets for couples are less than double that for single filers. Taxes are also overly complex and essentially optional for the truly rich, who make their wealth off of their existing wealth, the largely untaxed returns from capital, rather than by getting ordinary paychecks like most of us. But now is not the time to explain such serious matters; the people are too busy spending their refunds. The once dreaded Tax Day has become a happy spending spree for most Americans. This state of short-term bliss follows from some deep trends in our tax laws. In brief, the U.S. income tax system is increasingly a wage tax, with limited taxes on capital (what the rich have) and limited deductions for most of us. For example, 3 out of 4 Americans using a standard deduction get no break for their charitable contributions. All of this has been hashed and rehashed by politicians, professors and pundits. But who has time for that? Let's go to our television sets and check out the commercials. One clever spot ran during the recent Super Bowl, suggesting that the Boston Tea Party -- a tax revolt -- could have been averted with free online filing, which the sponsor was eager to provide. Filling out 1040s was part of what made the income tax so odious for the masses for such a long time -- who doesn't remember our parents fretting over shoeboxes of receipts sometime in April, the cruelest month? Now as Tax Day approaches, we are flooded with advertisements about America getting its billions back, without even having to pay to prepare the forms.", "summary": "Edward McCaffery: There's a fundamental unfairness to U.S. tax laws .

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.

The call came just before the U.N.

A pause was needed especially in and near the southern Yemeni port city of Aden, where intense fighting has happened in the past two weeks, the International Committee of the Red Cross said. Food, water, medical items and personnel need to get into these areas, the group said. \"Otherwise, put starkly, many more people will die. For the wounded, their chances of survival depend on action within hours, not days,\" Robert Mardini, the ICRC's head of operations in the Near and Middle East, said. Another Red Cross official said people are running out of food, water and fuel. \"Medical supplies need to be here yesterday.

Military facilities, including two bases, within the city limits have been targeted, three senior security officials in Sanaa said. At the Security Council, Russia submitted a draft resolution calling for a halt to the airstrikes that a nine-country regional coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, has been conducting against the rebels in Yemen for more than a week. The meeting adjourned with no decision announced. One diplomat said the draft was missing what the envoy called key elements. It doesn't call for the Houthis to stop fighting, and it does not call for political talks between the belligerents, the diplomat told CNN on condition of anonymity. Yemen has been descending into chaos in the weeks since Houthi rebels -- minority Shiites who have long complained of being marginalized in the majority Sunni country -- forced Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi from power in January. The Houthis put Hadi under house arrest when they overtook Sanaa in January. But Hadi escaped in February, fled to Aden and declared himself to still be president. Houthis and their allies, including those loyal to Hadi's predecessor, then fought Hadi's forces in the Aden area. Hadi fled Aden in late March, ultimately for Saudi Arabia, when the rebels and their military allies advanced on the city. The conflict prompted Saudi Arabia, a predominately Sunni nation and Yemen's northern neighbor, and other Arab nations to hit the rebels in Yemen with airstrikes.

+{"article": "(CNN)Is there anything laser can't do? From cutting diamonds to preserving endangered sites, all the way to building terrifying weapons and turning your eyes from brown to blue, there is apparently no end to the list of applications for laser. Swiss physicist Jean-Pierre Wolf is working on yet another impressive addition to that list: using focused laser beams to affect the weather. It sounds like black magic, but it's actually a cleaner version of cloud seeding, a form of weather modification that has been used for several years -- most famously by China in preparation for the 2008 Olympics, when they launched rockets to seed the clouds and prevent rainfall during the opening ceremony. But it's hard to tell how effective cloud seeding actually is, and it involves the spraying of chemicals into the atmosphere, something which it surely doesn't need. Laser is therefore a completely clean alternative to traditional cloud seeding: it's light, and nothing but light. How does laser actually affect the weather? Just like cloud seeding, it can create new clouds where there are none, by inducing condensation: naturally occurring water vapor is condensed into droplets, and ice crystals form, mimicking the natural process that creates clouds. That way, rainfall can be triggered to \"empty\" the atmosphere and increase the potential of dry weather later on: \"We did it on a laboratory scale, we can already create clouds, but not on a macroscopic scale, so you don't see a big cloud coming out because the laser is not powerful enough and because of a lot of technical parameters that we can't yet control,\" Professor Wolf told CNN's Nick Glass. That is not to say that the laser he's tested isn't powerful: at one terawatt, it has the same energy produced by all the nuclear power plants on Earth: \"Of course, it doesn't last very long,\" Wolf said. The technology is still in its infancy then, but once it's perfected, it could help us modulate the weather in areas of high contrast, such as California or Chile, where flooding and droughts occur in extreme vicinity. Through lasers, those effects could be smoothed to have less rain in flooding-prone areas and more rain in drought-prone areas: \"You can transport the water to a different location,\" Wolf said. Laser seeding can make more than clouds: it can also trigger lightning. \"We also showed that it's possible to trigger lightning in clouds, within clouds, but not to the ground, yet.\" Recent tests have shown promise: \" A few years ago, in New Mexico, we moved our big mobile terawatt laser to the top of a mountain and we shot it up into the atmosphere, trying to trigger lightning. We didn't, but we could see some small discharge, lightning, within the cloud. You know, 90 per cent of the lightning discharge are intra-cloud, not against the Earth. So, we are still working on that, but there is hope.\" Controlling lightning, or facilitating its discharge in a desired location, would help reduce the costs associated with lightning damage -- they run into the billions of", "summary": "Swiss Professor Jean-Pierre Wolf is pioneering the use of lasers to affect the weather .

Fueled by mounting anger over a corruption scandal that has implicated politicians in Rousseff's party, demonstrators chanted \"Out with Dilma\" and \"Time for change.\" Police estimated that 275,000 demonstrators marched in Sao Paulo. A sea of protesters dressed in the green and yellow of the Brazilian flag used decades-old rallying cries to fire up their ranks, singing rock songs that date back to protests of the country's one-time military dictatorship. It's the second day of nationwide anti-government demonstrations in less than a month. And protesters vowed that it wouldn't be the last. There are a number of issues at play. One of the biggest: an investigation into a multimillion-dollar kickback scheme at the state-run oil company Petrobras. Most of the politicians accused in the investigation belong to Rousseff's Workers Party and its allies. And during many of the years that the alleged corruption took place, Rousseff was the chairwoman of Petrobras. There hasn't been any evidence she was involved with the scheme, and her supporters say the position is merely a figurehead. Rousseff has defended Brazilians' right to protest and acknowledged the need to clean up corruption at Petrobras but denied any prior knowledge of the alleged kickback scheme. Brazilians are still outraged.

It's the day after the fat has been cut and the big dogs make their move up -- or occasionally down -- the leader board. Players rose and players fell away on Moving Day at the 2015 Masters. Rory McIlroy went out in 32 and briefly raised the crowd's hopes that he had a sniff of completing an improbable Grand Slam on Sunday night. But he dropped two shots late on in the round to finish six under par. Woods comeback? A rejuvenated Tiger Woods showed touches of his old class mixed with the ragged unpredictability that has marked his new game to finish six under too. A huge improvement, but still a long way from him wearing the green jacket again. \"It could have been a super low today,\" a disappointed Woods said after his round. \"All in all. It should have been two shots better.\" Phil Mickelson powered around the course, threatening to challenge too, finishing on eleven under. As did a late Justin Rose surge, where he fired four birdies in a row to finish twelve under and in second place. In the end, there was lots of moving, but no one could move quick enough or far enough to trouble Jordan Spieth. Infallible . The 21 year old has been nothing short of a sensation at Augusta.

He could also break Tiger Woods 270 set in 1997. As it happened, Spieth played a steady, almost conservative round. When he made the occasional mistake, like the bogey at 15, he hit back straight away with a birdie next hole. As his third round came to a close the birdies flowed, his putting impeccable. The only nerves on show came during the last two holes with a double bogey at the 17. Echos of 1996?

You never know. It depends on the conditions.\" He is, of course, right. As Greg Norman knows only too well, anything can happen on the final day. But that kind of crescendo also depends on Spieth experiencing a Greg Norman-style meltdown. Spieth's double bogey on the 17th and wobble on the 18th will give the chasing pack some hope.

It's not exactly a typical question, but Shreeves, who lives in Atlanta and is the site manager for the nonprofit Keep Atlanta Beautiful, lives what some may consider an atypical lifestyle: She creates almost no waste. The list of things she doesn't use would send shivers up a consumer marketer's spine: No plastic packaging, no new clothing, no metal cans, no cars (and in turn, no gas). The small amount of waste Shreeves does create goes straight into a 32-ounce mason jar that sits three-quarters full right next to her kitchen sink. Its contents include produce stickers, some paper tea bag wrappers and a long, twisted piece of cotton that went around her toes for a recent pedicure. This is all the waste she has collected in nearly half a year. That's right, EVERYTHING. Six month's worth of garbage for Shreeves is similar to what the average person generates in half a day. A Maryland native, Shreeves considered herself an \"Earth advocate\" from a fairly young age. Of her four brothers and sisters, she says she was always the one wading in the creek that passed by her backyard, climbing trees and pushing her family to stop being so wasteful. \"I got them their first recycling bin,\" she said. Shreeves began her journey into zero-waste living two years ago. She had just quit her job working in television and decided to move to Ecuador for a few months. Before she left she resolved to get rid of as much of her stuff as possible. She had read a blog post by a woman who lives a zero waste life in New York called the No Trash Project, and she was inspired. \"The average person throws away a ton of trash a year,\" Shreeves said. \"One single person. For her to go to zero like that, I was just amazed.\" Upon her return from Ecuador, Shreeves decided to take the lifestyle she started before she left to the next level. In April of last year, she officially began to live zero waste. Simplifying her existence wasn't easy. She had to rid herself of old habits. In the first week, she filled up half the mason jar with paper towels after grabbing them to dry her hands, just out of habit.

By the rows of names, red dots are marked to signify the dead. In the past few days, news -- from the network of friends and family across the world -- came in that 20 new dots needed to be scratched in -- for the 20 friends who'd drowned off the shores of Italy. For 25 years, Ali Addeh refugee camp has been a holding point for those fleeing into Djibouti, which borders Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia in the Horn of Africa. For the camp's 10,000 residents, who mostly come from these countries, this is supposed to be just the first stop on their journey to resettlement through the United Nations. Many though say it's been years and they're tired of waiting. For those willing to pay, there's another route to a new life. Across the Ethiopian border, through to Sudan and then up and across into Libya -- from where the migrant ships operated by human traffickers set sail at high tide. Henol's friend Soloman was among the hundreds who lost their lives this week when their boat capsized in the Mediterranean en route to Europe, he tells me. They'd grown up together -- even made the risky journey to Djibouti together. When the time came for Soloman to travel, Henol says he was asked to go too but said no. He hoped to give the legal route a little longer. It was the first time they'd been separated in years. I ask Henol if he still believes in the legal route. \"I can see now that we've been forgotten by the world,\" he says. \"There is no solution here. No solution back home -- what can we do? We are living in limbo.\" He tells me he now plans to follow his friend. Even though he died trying, I ask? \"Yes,\" he replies. Eritrea is ranked as one of the most repressive countries in the world, with an aging dictator enforcing a brutal regime of forced conscription to the army that rights groups believe is a cover for mass exploitation.

The commander of his military unit, he says, accused him of insubordination and with a viscous kick left him disabled for life -- just a few months shy of his 17th birthday.

+{"article": "(CNN)At first blush, Brian Rogers and Caitlin McGuire seem like any other small business owners -- polite, hardworking and passionate about what they do. But there's the potential for things to get a little awkward when the conversation turns from \"hi\"s to highs. \"There's always a moment of hesitation of 'when are they going to ask us what we do?' and 'how are they going to receive that when we tell them?'\" McGuire, 25, said. She and Rogers, 34, own the Breckenridge Cannabis Club, a recreational marijuana dispensary in the historic and scenic ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado. The couple started their business as a medical cannabis dispensary in 2010, but when Colorado became the first state in the nation to allow the sale of recreational marijuana, they saw a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity. Previously, they were only permitted to sell medical marijuana to the approximate 4,500 permanent residents of Breckenridge; when the new legislation took effect on January 1, 2014, they could then sell to any of the 30,000-plus tourists (21 years or older) who visited the town during peak season. By the end of the first day of \"recreational\" sales, they knew their lives had changed forever. The two said they brought in more than $47,000 in sales, roughly 30 times their normal daily sales of medical marijuana. The long lines and enthusiastic patrons also raised the ire of some of the residents who felt the shop detracted from the town's \"family-friendly\" atmosphere . Now, the pair's journey to build a legal marijuana empire is documented in the new CNN Original Series \"High Profits,\" which premieres Sunday, April 19, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. \"Somebody is going to become a mogul,\" Rogers said. In 2014, legal marijuana was a $700 million industry in Colorado and was billed as the fastest growing industry in the United States. And, according to a a 2014 Gallup Poll, 51% of Americans favored legalizing marijuana, though that was down from the previous year's approval of 58%. It's a majority, but a slim majority -- and 23 states still prohibit marijuana outright. Here are the next states to legalize pot . \"We want to show people that it's not just a bunch of stoners selling pot over the counter,\" McGuire said. \"It's business-minded people -- hardworking Americans -- who are just like any other business and trying to make their dream work.\" She and Rogers are simultaneously pragmatic and optimistic about the public's opinion. It's 2015: Is weed legal in your state? \"I think they often think we woke up and it was handed to us. Our job was created; we created our jobs through hard work and investment and risk,\" Rogers said. As pioneers in a newly legalized business, the risks Rogers and McGuire face go above and beyond those of your average small business. While the sale and private consumption of cannabis is legal in Colorado, the federal government still considers it a Schedule I controlled substance like heroin or LSD, a dangerous drug with \"no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.\"", "summary": "\"High Profits\" follows the owners of a recreational marijuana dispensary .

Gov. Nathan Deal signed a bill Thursday that will legalize low-THC cannabis oil for certain \"medication-resistant epilepsies,\" while creating an infrastructure, registration process and research program for the drug. (THC is the primary psychoactive substance in marijuana.) The bill is dubbed Haleigh's Hope Act. Haleigh, who has been the face of the bill, was having hundreds of seizures a day and the five potent drugs meant to control them weren't making life better for the little girl. Janea Cox said in a March 2014 interview that she made the difficult decision to move her daughter to Colorado, where medical marijuana is legal, in hopes of saving her life. \"She was maxed out,\" Cox said. \"She'd quit breathing several times a day, and the doctors blamed it on the seizure medications.\" 10 diseases marijuana could affect . Cox had heard that a form of medical marijuana might help, but it wasn't available in Georgia. So a week after hearing a doctor's diagnosis that Haleigh might not live another three months, she and Haleigh packed up and moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado. There, Haleigh began a regimen of cannabis oil: four times a day and once at night. \"Every time she smiled I knew we did the right thing, because we hadn't seen her smile in three years,\" Cox said. \"Now she's thriving, she's healthy, she's happy, and they're absolutely shocked at the difference. So I think we've turned some nonbelievers into believers of cannabis oil.\" Deal is apparently one of those believers, signing HB1 on Thursday and opening the door for the use of cannabis oil to treat certain medical conditions. The bill will benefit not only people who suffer from chronic seizure disorders, but it also will allow patients to receive in-state treatment. To obtain a license in Georgia, you will need to have a specific covered condition, such as acute seizures. \"For the families enduring separation and patients suffering pain, the wait is finally over,\" Deal said Thursday. \"... Now, Georgia children and their families may return home while continuing to receive much-needed care.\" For Cox, it's a blessing \"to be able to come back home, and with Haleigh's medicine, it's done wonders for her -- going from 200-plus seizures a day and on her deathbed to a smiling, happy girl who says words now and looks us in the eye and lets us know she's in there.\" She added, \"Colorado has been good to us, but Georgia's home. Georgia's definitely home.\" With medical marijuana legal in nearly half the states, doctors are increasingly studying what effect the drug has on various ailments. While Georgia's law is specific to a handful of conditions, medical marijuana laws in states such as California permit marijuana use for an array of ailments.

But there is as yet little sign that the rebels are being driven back, that the fighting in Yemen is dying down or that lives there are being saved. To the contrary, increasingly more Yemenis appear to be fleeing the country, attempting the dangerous trip in rickety fishing boats across the Red Sea to the Horn of Africa -- a trip historically made by people fleeing Africa rather than the other way around. Hopes for stability, not only in Yemen but in the Middle East in general, are fading as fears grow that Saudia Arabia and Iran are fighting a proxy war in Yemen for regional domination. And the number of dead continues to mount. Yemen's health ministry said over the weekend that 385 civilians had been killed and 342 others had been wounded. The World Health Organization has put a higher figure on both tolls -- 648 killed and 2,191 wounded -- but includes militant casualties in the totals. The Houthis forced Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi from power in January, though Hadi still claims he is Yemen's legitimate leader and is working with the Saudis and other allies to return to Yemen. Those allied with Hadi have accused the Iranian government of supporting the Houthis in their uprising in Yemen. Like the Iranians, the Houthis are Shiites. And like the Saudis, Hadi and his government are Sunni. Since it began on March 26, Saudi Arabia has launched more than 1,200 airstrikes. Saudi officials claim to have killed more than 500 Houthi rebels. The U.N. Security Council voted Tuesday in favor of an arms embargo on Houthis -- the minority group that has taken over large swaths of Yemen, including its capital, Sanaa -- and supporters of former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The resolution \"raises the cost\" for the Houthis, according to Mark Lyall Grant, Britain's ambassador to the United Nations. In addition to the arms embargo, the resolution also demands that the Shiite group pull back and refrain from more violence and includes sanctions aimed at controlling the spread of terrorism, according to Grant.

+{"article": "(CNN)The last time Muhammadu Buhari came to power in Nigeria, it was by force. This time it was by the ballot box. Here are five reasons why one of the most fiercely-contested elections in the country's history is so important. For the first time in Nigeria's history, the opposition defeated the ruling party in democratic elections. Muhammadu Buhari, 72, won Nigeria's presidential election, defeating incumbent Goodluck Jonathan by about two million votes. Nigeria is significant because it is the biggest economy and most populous country in Africa; it is also one of Africa's largest oil producers and is a major supplier of crude oil to the United States. This isn't Buhari's first time leading Nigeria -- but it's his first time in nearly 30 years. The reformed dictator is a Sunni Muslim from Nigeria's poorer North, while Jonathan comes from a Christian and animist South that is rich with oil. Buhari's win comes after a long history of military rule, coups and botched attempts at democracy in the country. Many Nigerians told CNN that they saw President Jonathan as an ineffectual leader who was indecisive in dealing with the terror group Boko Haram -- and weak on corruption. Buhari, who was campaigning for the fourth time, capitalized on these weaknesses and some analysts believe that his military background was an advantage for him. Nigerians wanted a strong leader who could keep them safe from Boko Haram's murderous raids -- and Buhari also campaigned as a born-again democrat to allay fears about his strict military regime the last time around. He stressed that Nigeria's security needs to be the next government's focus. His campaign was also fiercely anti-corruption -- he ran under the slogan of \"new broom,\" and his supporters were often pictured holding brooms in the lead-up to the vote. The elections were largely predicted to be violent and everyone, Nigerians included, expected the worst. Some families moved abroad and there was sporadic violence across the country in the lead up to the election. But those fears turned out to be mostly unfounded, and the elections held relatively peacefully -- with the exception of attacks in the north of the country, where around 11 people died. Many also praised President Jonathan's gracious and quick concession of defeat as it almost certainly prevented post-election violence. President-elect Buhari said Wednesday in a speech to the nation: \"The eyes of the world were focused on us to see if we can vote in a peaceful way and carry out elections in an orderly manner. \"We have proven to the world that we are a people who have embraced democracy and a people who seek a government by, for and for the people.\" On election day, Nigerians queued for hours in hot weather to cast their vote.

A year later, she got married again in Westchester County, but to a different man and without divorcing her first husband. Only 18 days after that marriage, she got hitched yet again. Then, Barrientos declared \"I do\" five more times, sometimes only within two weeks of each other. In 2010, she married once more, this time in the Bronx. In an application for a marriage license, she stated it was her \"first and only\" marriage. Barrientos, now 39, is facing two criminal counts of \"offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree,\" referring to her false statements on the 2010 marriage license application, according to court documents. Prosecutors said the marriages were part of an immigration scam. On Friday, she pleaded not guilty at State Supreme Court in the Bronx, according to her attorney, Christopher Wright, who declined to comment further. After leaving court, Barrientos was arrested and charged with theft of service and criminal trespass for allegedly sneaking into the New York subway through an emergency exit, said Detective Annette Markowski, a police spokeswoman. In total, Barrientos has been married 10 times, with nine of her marriages occurring between 1999 and 2002. All occurred either in Westchester County, Long Island, New Jersey or the Bronx.

Al-Shabaab gunmen stormed Garissa University College in eastern Kenya this month, killing 147 people. Kenya's government says that attack was masterminded by senior Al-Shabaab leader Mohamed Mohamud, whose \"extensive terrorist network within Kenya\" extends into the sprawling Dadaab complex, according to a Kenyan government document given to CNN. Students wake to Islamist militants' terror . Ruto, who is the second highest-ranking person in Kenya's government behind President Uhuru Kenyatta, said his government has had discussions with United Nations officials about what to do with the camp. On Saturday, a U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees officer said the agency had not received any formal request from Kenya's government about moving Dadaab. The U.N. refugee agency manages the Dadaab complex, having set up the first camps there in late 1991 amid Somalia's civil war. The agency and the governments of both Kenya and Somalia agreed in 2013 on a process for the repatriation of Somali refugees. But that was supposed to be mutually agreed-upon and voluntary, in accordance with the refugees' \"freely expressed wish and their relevant knowledge of the conditions\" where they'd end up, according to the pact. None of those things, it seems, applies now to the move pushed by Ruto on Saturday. It's not clear where he expects the refugees to go, other than somewhere into Somalia and out of Kenya. Any mass move would be a monumental task, disrupting the already difficult lives of more than 600,000 Somalis who call the camp their home. Simply meeting basic needs is a challenge in the vast complex, which has seen devastating droughts, contagious diseases and other travails that have tested its residents and those trying to help. Still, as tough as conditions there are, they are seen as a better alternative to life back in Somalia, where Al-Shabaab is based and has carried out violent attacks for years. Yet the Islamist extremist group hasn't confined its terror to its homeland, as illustrated by the Garissa attack and the 2013 siege of Nairobi's upscale Westgate Mall, which ended with at least 67 dead. The Dadaab complex came under government scrutiny after the Westgate Mall attack, too. But just a few weeks later, CNN's Nima Elbagir managed to go from Somalia to the Dadaab refugee camp undetected by taking one of the panya, or \"rat routes,\" just like many others have done, Al-Shabaab sympathizers among them. Such illicit travel along porous borders as well as police officers' willful ignorance of migrants' fake IDs, as acknowledged by then-Interior Minister Ole Lemku, illustrates Kenya's challenge in keeping out threats from Somalia. That's why, in addition to moving the Dadaab camp, Kenya is building of a 435-mile (700-kilometer) wall covering most of the Somali border", "summary": "The Dadaab refugee camp is the world's largest, with more than 600,000 people .

He noted at his announcement (with a familiar note of wise irony): \"People should not underestimate me.\" To most Americans, of course, Sen. Bernie Sanders is only a name, if that. He is barely known to the general public, which makes him a very long shot indeed to win election to the highest office in the nation. Those who follow politics a little more closely will possibly think of him as some left-wing kook that only the most liberal state in the union would ever dream of electing to the Senate, as we did in 2006. Let me add this, as someone who has followed him closely (and with admiration) for a long time: When people stop to listen to Bernie, they realize that -- whether or not they agree with his ideas -- he is, without a question, an authentic voice who speaks without fear. And nobody should underestimate him. I remember when Bernie was mayor of Burlington; it is the largest city in Vermont (which isn't saying much). I met him then, and his voice struck me as something not quite heard before. He spoke with a throaty Brooklyn accent, and he was Jewish -- not your typical Vermonter. He served as mayor of this progressive town on the shores of Lake Champlain with remarkable energy for many years, listening closely to what people had to say, learning about politics at the local level, making a real difference in the daily lives of hard-working people. He was never a Democrat -- and isn't yet. He's a progressive, holding his seat in the U.S. Senate as an independent, although he votes with the Democrats on major issues. When Bernie decided to run for Jim Jeffords' seat in the House of Representatives in 1988, many considered him a long shot. I remember hosting a fundraising event at my farmhouse, where Bernie held the floor for almost two hours, answering questions with a forthrightness that stunned those who had never encountered in person his fierce, funny, entertaining, passionate voice. Bernie won that seat, again and again. Make no mistake about this: Vermont isn't just a rainbow-colored state full of ex-hippies and leftists in berets. It's an agricultural economy, and Bernie has understood this well. He has thoughtfully supported Vermont's dairy-farming community over many years. He has also been a strong supporter of Vermont's hunting culture -- much to the annoyance of many on the left, who wonder why the NRA doesn't attack him. I was never prouder of Bernie than during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. He was a singular and somewhat lonely voice in the House, strongly opposing the 2003 invasion.

Below are some of the most interesting, and my answers to them. They have been edited for style and clarity for this article: . Anarie Kennedy: The copy we have of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene comes from the second century, but is it possible that the gospel itself could be older (like first century)? Goodacre: Actually, the copy we saw in the show dates from the fifth century. It is currently located in Berlin, Germany. Although it's our most complete manuscript, it is missing several pages. There are two other fragments of the Gospel of Mary, both in Greek, and both dating from the third century. It is difficult to date the Gospel itself. One of the difficulties is that there are no references to it at all in antiquity. Our best guess is that it was written at some point in the middle to late second century. Gustavo Odr\u00eda: Where can we get a good translation of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene? Goodacre: There are several good translations of the Gospel of Mary. One suggestion is Karen King's \"The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle.\" That book also has good introduction and discussion materials. One thing that is worth adding is that the Gospel is not actually called \"The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.\" The term \"Magdalene\" does not come at all in the texts we have of the Gospel. The heroine is simply called \"Mary.\" Edward James Reeves: I would like to know what really happened to Mary Magdalene? Where did she go? Who last saw her? Goodacre: This is one of the great mysteries about the character! She is so prominent at the end of each of the canonical Gospels, and the reader is expecting to see more of her and to hear more about her in the rest of the New Testament, but there is nothing. She is not mentioned in Acts of the Apostles, or in Paul's letters, or anywhere else. One possibility is that the early church suppressed her memory and chose not to tell the story of this famous female apostle. But if that is the case, it is surprising that the Gospel writers pay so much attention to her in their Passion and Resurrection narratives. Another possibility, and we touched on this in the episode, is that Mary died not long after the events narrated in the Gospels. Perhaps she was a wealthy, elderly widow? @turnbullteacher: Wouldn't Church Fathers writing in the second century have written if Jesus was married or not? Goodacre: That's a good question.

+{"article": "(CNN)Have you ever found the creative inspiration you were seeking at the most unexpected time, or thought you were having that long-awaited problem-solving epiphany just as you nodded off to sleep? According to neuroscientists John Kounios and Mark Beeman, there's a reason for that. Their book, \"The Eureka Factor\", explores the influences at work behind that much sought-after \"Aha!\" moment. Research suggests that in trying to conjure up inspiration, most of us end up suppressing it. The book explains how to clear out mental junk, in order to make way for pivotal revelations. Dr. Kounios explained: \"Insights involve unusual connections. Cognitive psychologists call these 'remote associations'. They are processed mostly in the brain's right hemisphere. Insights occur when a subconscious remote association suddenly pops into awareness. This is accompanied by a burst of activity in the brain's right temporal lobe.\" \"We wrote \"The Eureka Factor\" to help people understand how creative insight works in the brain so they can use various strategies harmoniously without having them cross-circuit each other, \" said Kounios. \"For example, there is evidence that imagining the future helps to put someone in an insightful state. However, if a person imagines a specific future that makes them anxious, then insightfulness could decrease because anxiety is a creativity killer.\" \"That said, a positive mood and a broad, expansive spread of attention are a couple of key features of the insightful state,\" he added. Following are some of the tips they suggest for unleashing your creative potential -- both at home and at work. Spaciousness helps broaden thoughts. Even high ceilings have been shown to broaden attention. Small, windowless offices, low ceilings and narrow corridors will do little to inspire our brains and make us flexible, creative thinkers. Relaxing outdoor colors such as blue and green contribute to this state. \"Emergency\" colors such as red suppress it. Surprisingly, dark colors and dim lighting can also be beneficial: by obscuring visual details, they help people think more abstractly. Static surroundings encourage static thinking. Don't be predictable. You should sometimes change everyday routines, such as where you go for coffee or your route to work. Rearrange your furniture and decor from time to time, at home and in your workplace. Hold meetings in a variety of places. Make sure to include some nonconformists in your inner circle. Unusual people tend to be out-of-the-box thinkers, and their unique outlook might help you attack a problem from a different angle. The threat of a firm deadline will narrow your thinking and inhibit your insight. Try and use soft target dates and a flexible schedule to establish a helpful, nonthreatening time frame. Rewards and punishments for meeting or missing deadlines, if needed at all, should be vague and mild so they don't contribute added pressure. A positive outlook will help stimulate a more open mind, one that can process a greater number of ideas. If you struggle to think happy, try focusing on the people and things that bring you joy.

Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton, the man leading the investigation into the estimated $26,000 in missing Pappy, said at the time that the high-end heist was \"indicative of an inside job.\" But ever since, the trail went largely cold. Until now. On Tuesday, a Franklin County grand jury indicted \"nine members of a criminal syndicate that collaborated to promote or engage in the theft ... and illegal trafficking\" of liquor from two different Kentucky distilleries: Frankfort's Buffalo Trace -- makers of Pappy -- and the nearby Wild Turkey Distillery, makers of the eponymous bourbon, according to the indictment. Just like making good bourbon -- a specific type of whiskey synonymous with the Bluegrass State -- Melton's case required time to develop and old-fashioned Kentucky ingenuity. The sheriff's hunch was reflected in the indictment: Of the nine named, two worked at Buffalo Trace and one worked at Wild Turkey. The alleged ringleader, according to Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Zach Becker, is Gilbert \"Toby\" Curtsinger, a 45-year-old loading dock worker at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Curtsinger and his wife, Julie, each face eight charges for allegedly engaging in organized crime. Curtsinger -- who has worked at Buffalo Trace for more than 20 years -- was arrested in March after authorities, acting on a tip, found five barrels of bourbon behind a shed on his property, according to CNN affiliate WKYT. Those barrels, weighing more than 500 pounds each and worth up to $6,000 apiece, had recently been stolen from Wild Turkey, Melton told BourbonBlog.com's Tom Fischer. While an additional search warrant allegedly turned up illegal steroids from Curtsinger's home, there was no sign of any Pappy. \"He doesn't know anything about (stolen Pappy Van Winkle),\" his mother, Teresa Curtsinger, told CNN last month. In fact, she said, once he bonded out of jail, Curtsinger returned to his job at Buffalo Trace. However, according to Melton, \"Curtsinger was involved in numerous thefts of Pappy Van Winkle, as well as Eagle Rare bourbon, both in bottles and barrels.\" Melton said Curtsinger distributed the highly coveted bourbon through a network of connections in his softball league. Teresa Curtsinger did not immediately return a message Tuesday. But Gilbert Curtsinger's attorney, Whitney Lawson, told the Courier-Journal of Louisville, \"we've been waiting patiently for this to happen. We're glad that if they're going to indict that they've indicted so we can get to work.\" At a press conference announcing the indictments, Melton got emotional as he described the tremendous amount of effort put into the investigation. \"(Franklin County detectives) have done an absolute incredible job,\" he said as he choked back tears. \"And I'm thrilled to have been a part of it.\" Fischer, the whiskey blogger, got a different kind of emotional tug from what flanked the sheriff: several hundred thousand dollars' worth of recovered booze -- including 20 cases of", "summary": "9 indicted on organized crime charges related to bourbon thefts .

The family-run restaurant finds itself at the center of the debate over the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act after its owners said they'd refuse to cater a same-sex couple's wedding. \"If a gay couple was to come and they wanted us to bring pizzas to their wedding, we'd have to say no,\" Crystal O'Connor told CNN affiliate WBND-TV in South Bend. The statement struck at the heart of fears by critics, who said the new law would allow businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians. They called for boycotts. But supporters also rallied. And by the end of the week, they had donated more than $842,000 for the business. Social media unloaded on the pizzeria in the community of 2,100 people that few folks outside northern Indiana knew existed before this week. RiskyLiberal tweeted: \"Dear #MemoriesPizza. No. My boycotting your business because I don't like your religious bigotry is not a violation of your freedom to practice your religion.\" \"Don't threaten #MemoriesPizza\" tweeted A\u10e6anda. \"Just mock them for their ignorance.\" Bad reviews flooded the restaurant's Facebook page, most having little to do with the quality of the food. Many too vulgar to share. \"Do you really want to financially support a company that treats some of your fellow citizens like second class citizens? BOYCOTT MEMORIES PIZZA!!\" said Rob Katz of Indianapolis. \"Let's hope they either rethink their policy or the free market puts them out of business.\" Anti-bigotry critics harass wrong pizzeria . But one outburst in particular shut down the restaurant Wednesday and was expected to do the same Thursday. \"Who's going to Walkerton with me to burn down Memories Pizza?\" Jessica Dooley of Goshen tweeted, according to the Walkerton Police Department. The account has been deleted since the tweet was posted. Detectives who investigated have recommended charges of harassment, intimidation and threats, according to Charles Kulp, assistant police chief. The mood was a bit more subdued on the streets of Walkerton. A man stood outside Memories simply holding a sign that reads \"bigots.\" Jason Narducy bought $100 of pizza from another shop down the street and started handing it out, WBND reported. \"Do you want some non-discriminatory pizza?\" Narducy asked. But for every tweet and Facebook post taking Memories Pizza to task were words of support and a groundswell of financial support. \"Because nothing says tolerance like threatening to kill Christians & burn down their businesses,\" said a tweet from Victor Nikki. \"What's happening to #MemoriesPizza isn't the free market, it's a lynch mob,\" tweeted Savannah. \"Cyber bulling isn't the same as taking your business elsewhere.\" Supporters rallied to a GoFundMe page in support of Memories Pizza. By the time the fundraiser ended late Friday, $842,387 had been raised.

+{"article": "(CNN)Looting, fires and violence descended on Baltimore. Like most who know and love that city, I was heartbroken. I was once a cop in Baltimore. Police, trying to save their city last weekend, were blamed both for doing too little and for doing too much. The ghetto, and I'm talking class and not race, was on full display by Monday. The whole nation saw beautiful Baltimore at its worst. The protests started in response to the death of Freddie Gray in police hands. We still don't know what happened to Freddie Gray. Something bad happened. There's an investigation. Maybe the investigation should be going faster. But maybe rushing the investigation would compromise prosecution. (And forced testimony can't be used in prosecution; police officers too have constitutional rights as criminal defendants.) I don't know. Here's the thing: Police officers who weren't there don't know what happened to Freddie Gray. If there are criminally guilty cops, police have no problem with justice. But those who caused destruction on Monday had little, if anything, to do with Freddie Gray protests. They were, as the mayor put it, thugs. Call them what you will, normally what happens in the hood stays in the hood. Those who cut fire hoses and burned down homes and businesses? Police deal with them every day, literally. Those criminals didn't just appear on Monday, and they won't be gone tomorrow. They live there, without jobs, education, mainstream social skills, or hope. They don't come from stable families. They don't go to church. Most violent criminals are actively or passively involved in the drug trade. In Baltimore this year -- just like last year and just like next year -- police will arrest tens of thousands of poor black men, mostly on drug charges. From the same pool, 200 will be shot and killed. Another 200 will do the killing. These are communities, like the Baltimore's Eastern District, in which more than 10% of men are murdered. If all of America had homicide levels found in parts of Baltimore, there would be over 300,000 murders per year (as opposed to the still shamefully high 12,000 homicides in America). And yet some continue to think of police as the main problem rather than part of the solution. But Baltimore is not Ferguson. The police department is 50% non-white. The mayor is black. So is the police commissioner. The city is 65% African-American. So imagine you're a young white cop, as I was, in a rough neighborhood. A nice retired African-American gentleman calls 911 because the kids in front of his house, also black, are rowdy, breaking bottles, selling drugs, and otherwise being disrespectful. Just out of the police academy, I pulled up to countless of these situations. What to do? Usually I stopped, stared, and they moved on. Sometimes I would get out of my car. But I shouldn't have to.

Somalia's President called it \"an attack against the future of our country.\" The attack follows a separate incident Sunday in which three African Union troops died in an ambush in the Lower Shabelle region of Somalia. The terrorist group Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for Monday's attack, which occurred about 8 a.m. in the administrative capital of the autonomous Puntland region, according to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia. Four of the victims were foreigners and two were Somalis, said Ahmed Abdullahi Samatar, the police chief of Puntland. UNICEF, the U.N. aid agency focused on children, said it employed four of the dead. Four other workers were in serious condition, the agency said. The bomb went off as a vehicle was taking workers from their guest house to their office. The local police chief said the bomber was inside the vehicle among the U.N. staff. The bomber also died in the attack, according to authorities. Nick Kay, the special representative of the U.N. secretary-general for Somalia, condemned the attack on his Twitter account. \"Shocked and appalled by loss of life,\" he said. Somalia's President, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, said he was horrified by the attack. \"This attack is not just targeted at the United Nations, but in attacking UNICEF, Al-Shabaab has also attacked Somali children. It is an attack against the future of our country and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms,\" he said. UNICEF called the slain workers \"an integral part of UNICEF's work in Somalia, dedicated to improving the lives of others.\" Al-Shabaab, the al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group based in Somalia, caused outrage this month by carrying out an attack on a Kenyan university. Nearly 150 people, most of them students, died in that attack. In the Sunday incident, three African Union troops were ambushed in the Lower Shabelle region.

The show was a breakthrough for on-screen representation \u2014 the first network sitcom created by and starring a woman of color \u2014 and it looks likely to be renewed for the coming 2015-16 season. Recently, however, Kaling's brother Vijay Chokalingam unveiled a project of his own, and while it has been getting a lot of attention, it hasn't generated quite as many laughs \u2014 either from observers or from his famous sibling, who told him it brought \"shame upon their family.\" You see, Chokalingam revealed that, as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, he engaged in a daring (his view) or ridiculous and offensive (pretty much everyone else) scam: He applied to medical school claiming to be African-American. Chokalingam had spent his college years as a \"hard-partying frat boy,\" and achieved a less than stunning 3.1 GPA. Upon facing graduation and exploring his med school options, he realized that fellow Indian-Americans with his grades were getting turned down from the universities of his choice \u2014 but that \"black, Hispanic, and Native American applicants with my grades and test scores were much more likely to gain acceptance.\" This revelation led him to make the decision to pose as a black man, both to \"dramatically improve\" his chances of admission, and to illustrate the unfair advantage that blacks and other underrepresented minorities receive when applying to prestigious schools. To accomplish this goal, Chokalingam shaved his head of its naturally wavy black locks, trimmed his \"long Indian-American eyelashes,\" checked \"black\" under the optional race/ethnicity declaration and submitted his application to 14 schools under his childhood nickname \"JoJo.\" He received invitations for in-person interviews at 11 schools, results that he claims support the notion that African-Americans garner special privileges that are unavailable to whites or Asians. And now that the statute of limitations on his act of fraud has expired, he's looking to write a book on his experiences, titled \"Almost Black: The True Story of an Indian American Who Got Into Medical School Pretending to Be an African American.\" What's truly curious is that even if you agree with Chokalingam that affirmative action is merely a form of \"systematic racism,\" when all is said and done, it offers very little evidence of the \"privilege\" that he claims is accorded to black, Hispanic and Native American candidates. Chokalingam had mediocre grades and MCATs, but he graduated from one of the most prestigious schools in the nation. Yet even while representing himself as black, Chokalingam received only a single admission offer, to St. Louis University's School of Medicine, which falls somewhere between 57th and 67th in national rankings.

Video shows Reserve Deputy Robert Bates announcing he is going to deploy his Taser after an undercover weapons sting on April 2 but then shooting Eric Courtney Harris in the back with a handgun. Bates was charged with second-degree manslaughter Monday. He surrendered Tuesday morning, accompanied by his attorney, Clark Brewster, and immediately posted bail of $25,000. As he exited the jailhouse, Bates paused in front of television cameras for a moment but did not speak. His attorney reiterated that he believes the charge against his client is unwarranted. The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office says a sting operation caught Harris illegally selling a gun. Harris ran when officers came in for the arrest. Authorities say Bates thought he pulled out his Taser but \"inadvertently\" fired his gun. Harris' brother, Andre Harris, told CNN that he is pleased District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler pressed charges. In his opinion, however, no type of force should have been used in the arrest of his brother. Watching the video of the shooting, Andre Harris said he can see that three or more officers were already on top of his brother. That manpower should have been enough to arrest him, he said. \"It was a situation where I didn't necessarily think that a Taser should even be used,\" Andre Harris said. Scott Wood, another Bates' attorney, has said the shooting was an \"excusable homicide.\" Investigators' efforts to defend Bates and the other deputies involved in the arrest have sparked a mounting chorus of criticism online. Harris' relatives are demanding an independent investigation of what they call unjustified brutality. They're also questioning why the 73-year-old Bates -- the CEO of an insurance company who volunteers as a certified reserve deputy -- was on the scene in such a sensitive and high-risk sting operation. Daniel Smolen, an attorney representing the Harris family, said Bates paid big money to play a cop in his spare time. Bates, who was a police officer for a year in the 1960s, had been a reserve deputy since 2008, with 300 hours of training and 1,100 hours of community policing experience, according to the sheriff's office. He was also a frequent contributor to the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, including $2,500 to the re-election of Sheriff Stanley Glanz.

You can't cordon yourself off from air or climate.\" Murthy revealed to the group that asthma is a personal issue for him, as a favorite uncle died from a severe attack when he was younger. \"It's also personal to me because I've cared for many patients over the years who have suffered from asthma and have seen firsthand how frightening it can be to suddenly be wheezing and fighting for every breath,\" Murthy said. \"Asthma can be very difficult for patients, but also for their families. The impacts of climate change could make the situation worse.\" \"This is not just a future threat -- this is a present threat,\" said Brian Deese, a senior adviser to the President. Deese cited a recent study by the American Thoracic Society that found seven out of 10 doctors reported climate change is contributing to more health problems among their patients. \"The good news is that, in addition to having doctors and nurses, public health officials, schools of medicine joining together to raise awareness -- and to in some cases impact their practice -- they anticipate, for example, increased asthma instances, and plan ahead of time to deal with those,\" Obama told Gupta. \"What we have is companies like Google and Microsoft that are going to take data we're releasing and start developing apps so that, potentially, individual families are going to be able to monitor the air quality in their communities in a real-time basis.\"", "summary": "President Obama attends Howard University roundtable on climate change and public health .

+{"article": "(CNN)Do you remember the talk about plans for Iraqi-led force to try to take back Mosul this spring? Well, you might want to forget it. Nearly three months after a U.S. official said up to 25,000 Iraqis troops were expected to return to the key northern Iraqi city in April or May, a senior official in President Barack Obama's administration said Thursday that Washington is \"not putting a timeframe on\" a possible invasion. It \"might be some time from now. Might be soon,\" another senior administration official said. Mosul has long been the big prize in the Iraqi government's fight -- aided by a U.S.-led military coalition, which has carried out airstrikes for months -- to defeat ISIS. It has also long been a source of embarrassment, considering how it fell after Iraqi troops dropped their weapons, abandoned their posts and ran for their lives when militants arrived last June. The senior administration officials who talked to reporters Thursday stressed the Iraqis and their allies are making progress in their fight against the group that calls itself the Islamic State. In fact, officials insist that ISIS has been degraded substantially thanks to a combination of air power and ground combat. The biggest and most recent example of this came with the recapture a few weeks ago of Tikrit, the hometown of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein that is located some 100 miles (160 kilometers) north of Baghdad. Iraqi forces aided by Iranian-backed Shiite militiamen took that northern city, the same place where ISIS allegedly massacred Iraqi troops last year. Still, Mosul isn't Tikrit. For one thing, it has a lot more people -- about a million, one Obama administration official noted. And it's more important not only to Iraq, but ISIS, meaning the terrorist group has all the more reason to go all-out to defend it. In some ways, the campaign for Mosul has begun, according to officials. There are no plans for U.S. combat troops involvement in an eventual operation, they say, but airstrikes have already targeted ISIS positions in the area. Just because the area has been softened up some from the air, though, doesn't mean a full ground assault is imminent. Calling for \"patience,\" an administration official said that winning Mosul is a complex endeavor. It will \"take a lot of capacity,\" the official said, \"and some time to build.\"", "summary": "U.S. official said in February that Iraqi troops could go into Mosul in April or May .

But she's now bringing awareness to the difficulties of life on food stamps. In a tweet Friday, Paltrow showcased an array of leafy greens, dried beans and rice, purchased for the amount a person living on food stamps is allotted each week, she explained. The amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits a person can get is based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Thrifty Food Plan. The plan estimates how much it costs to buy food, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. In this case, Paltrow will be spending just under $30 for groceries. Her participation is part of the #FoodBankNYCChallenge. Celebrity chef Mario Batali, a close friend of the star's, nominated Paltrow and musicians Sting and Deborah Harry for the challenge through a video. The challenge urges participants to use only $29 for all the food a person eats for seven days. \"For one week, walk in someone else's shoes,\" Batali is quoted saying on the Food Bank for New York City's website. \"By truly understanding what our friends and neighbors are going through, we will be better equipped to find solutions.\" The #FoodBankNYCChallenge is an attempt to live on a food stamp budget for one week, which translates to $1.38 per meal, according to the site. The effort is in response to recent cuts to food stamps. \"Congress cut food stamps twice since 2013, and soup kitchens and food pantries saw an immediate increase in visitors,\" the site explains.

Paddy Power -- well-known for its use of publicity stunts -- used it to link to a piece showing statistics for games between Liverpool and Newcastle United ahead of their English Premier League match on Monday. A Paddy Power spokesman told CNN before Liverpool's 2-0 victory at Anfield: \"It was a joke, and no offense was meant.\" The tweet has since been deleted, but its removal -- along with the statement -- did little to placate social media users who condemned the organization, with some calling for the person who wrote the tweet to be sacked. In January, Paddy Power attracted headlines after backing David Ginola's failed candidacy for the presidency of world football's governing body. The former Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham player could not persuade enough FIFA football associations to back his bid. He needed five to have any chance of unseating Sepp Blatter. Paddy Power started the funding for the candidacy, but its penchant for publicity stunts quickly led many people to dismiss Ginola's bid as another attempt to grab headlines. Paddy Power, the son of one the company's founders and its marketing spokesman, explained: \"We've been known for some mischievous activity around the world. This is not that. This is for real.\" Last year, the company generated anger when it promised \"money back if he walks\" in relation to the trial of disgraced South African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius. Monday's win put Liverpool fifth in the table, four points behind defending champion Manchester City, which holds England's final European Champions League qualification spot with six games left to play this season.

+{"article": "(CNN)Police added attempted murder to the list of charges against the mother of a quadriplegic man who was left in the woods for days, Philadelphia police spokeswoman Christine O'Brien said Tuesday. Nyia Parler cannot be extradited to face the charges in Philadelphia until she completes an unspecified \"treatment,\" Maryland police said Monday. When she does arrive, she will be charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and related offenses, in addition to the attempted murder count, O'Brien said. The Montgomery County (Maryland) Department of Police took Parler, 41, into custody Sunday after Philadelphia police reported that she left her 21-year-old son in the woods while she hopped a bus to see her boyfriend in Maryland. A man walking through the woods found him Friday \"lying in leaves, covered in a blanket with a Bible and a wheelchair nearby,\" Philadelphia police say. Citing federal health care privacy laws, Montgomery County police spokesman Capt. Paul Starks said he could not divulge why Parler was receiving treatment, but he said she had to complete it before she could be extradited. She remained in treatment as of Tuesday morning, Starks told CNN. If she chooses not to challenge her extradition, she will be transported to Philadelphia once the treatment is complete, he said. For more than four days, police say, the quadriplegic man, who also suffers from cerebral palsy, was left lying in the woods of Philadelphia's Cobbs Creek Park. Low temperatures reached the mid-30s during the week, and rain was reported in the area Wednesday and Thursday. The man is unable to communicate how he came to be in the park, but Philadelphia police Lt. John Walker told reporters that the man's mother left him there the morning of April 6. Starks identified the mother as Parler on Monday. \"The mother went to visit her boyfriend down in Maryland, over in Montgomery County, and we believe she placed the child into Cobbs Creeks Park,\" Walker said at a news conference. Walker told CNN the man was transported to Presbyterian Hospital, but CNN affiliates reported he was being treated at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He suffered eye problems, dehydration, malnutrition and a cut to his back that raised infection concerns, the lieutenant told reporters. \"This kid's obviously a fighter,\" Walker said during a Saturday news conference. \"It's just unbelievable how we found him out there last night. To see that kid laying there, it's heartbreaking to see another human, especially a mother, can treat someone like that.\" Officials at Philadelphia's School of the Future, which the man attends, became concerned when he didn't show up for classes last week and tried to contact his mother but eventually reached an aunt, Philadelphia police said. \"The aunt was in contact via text message with Nyia throughout the week and when she expressed her concerns about the complainant, Nyia replied, 'We're OK,' which the aunt believed meant that the victim was with Nyia in Maryland,\" according to a police news release.

+{"article": "(CNN)We want our killers to be kind. To walk into court and show remorse, tell us that they are really nice people who only did it because they feared for their lives, or they were temporarily insane. Even though those things may not be true, too often they are accepted as legitimate excuses for murder. Well, Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end and now convicted murderer, made none of those excuses. He walked into court with an air of bravado, his head held high like the $40 million, NFL superstar he was just a couple of years ago. Several times he was even caught winking at his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, during the trial. And we didn't like his swagger. Hernandez didn't offer a plausible alibi. He didn't look ashamed or remorseful. He never wept. His own attorney, James Sultan, admitted that Hernandez \"witnessed\" the killing of Odin Lloyd, \"committed by somebody he knew,\" but said his client did not commit the crime. Even before the guilty verdict came down Wednesday, for many -- at least those covering the trial -- audacity seemed to be the defendant's biggest crime. \"The Arrogance of Aaron Hernandez,\" a New Yorker headline accused. I don't get it. What does it matter that Hernandez was arrogant in court, or walked with too much swagger, or even smiled at his girl? Like it or not, that is who he is. The evidence is what matters. And for once, this time it appears the jury carefully considered the damning mountain of circumstantial evidence against this defendant and came to the right decision: guilty of first-degree murder in the 2013 slaying of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez, 25, was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. He was also found guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition. It was the right decision. Still, it's hard not to feel sadness over such a senseless waste of life for both Lloyd and now Hernandez, who were once friends. Football was the best thing Hernandez ever had, especially after he father died suddenly after a routine hernia surgery in 2006. Hernandez was 16. After that his life got complicated. At 17, Hernandez went off to the University of Florida and seemed headed for greatness. There he won the John Mackey Award as the nation's best tight end and led the team in receiving during its 2009 Bowl Championship Series win. But off the field, his life was to beginning to unravel. Trouble started: bar fights, reports of marijuana use and failed drug tests. He was even questioned in relation to a shooting after a fight at a Gainesville, Florida, nightclub. By the time he was drafted in 2010 by the New England Patriots, Hernandez had already been labeled a \"troubled player.\" But neither the Patriots nor the NFL has anything to be ashamed of in how they handled the Hernandez case.

Kim Ki-Jong has also been charged with assaulting a foreign envoy and business obstruction, the Seoul Central District Court official said. According to South Korean law, Kim's trial must begin within 14 days of receiving today's indictment. Lippert was stabbed March 5 during an event organized by the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Cooperation, which advocates peaceful reunification between North and South Korea. Shortly before Lippert was supposed to give a speech, the attacker slashed him in the face and jaw. The ambassador suffered a gash from his right cheekbone to his lower jaw that required 80 stitches. That wound measured 10 centimeters (4 inches) long and 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) deep, but there was no serious facial nerve damage, said Dr. Jung Nam-shik of the Yonsei Severance Hospital. Lippert also suffered five cuts in his left arm and hand, but was not expected to have permanent damage to his arm function. Police said Kim stabbed Lippert with a 10-inch knife because he opposed the joint South Korean-U.S. military drills, which happen every year and frequently draw the ire of North Korea. Police official Yoon Myeong-seong told reporters that Kim had visited North Korea seven times between 1999 and 2007, and that authorities were investigating a possible connection between his visits to the reclusive state and the attack against Lippert.

+{"article": "Tulsa, Oklahoma (CNN)Amid growing scrutiny over whether a 73-year-old volunteer deputy who killed a suspect during a sting operation was qualified to be policing the streets, a new report raises a troubling allegation. Some supervisors at the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office were told to forge Reserve Deputy Robert Bates' training records, and three who refused were reassigned to less desirable duties, the Tulsa World newspaper reported. Claims that the volunteer deputy's records had been falsified emerged \"almost immediately\" from multiple sources after Bates killed Eric Harris on April 2, reporter Dylan Goforth said. Bates claims he meant to use his Taser but accidentally fired his handgun at Harris instead. The newspaper's story does not say who allegedly asked the supervisors to falsify the training records or why. But the orders apparently started years ago, before Harris' death, \"back when (Bates) was trying to get on as a deputy,\" reporter Ziva Branstetter told CNN's \"New Day.\" The Sheriff's Office denied the allegations in the Tulsa World's report. It also declined a CNN interview to respond to the claims. In an email to CNN, the department's Maj. Shannon Clark said the lack of named sources in the newspaper's report leaves him dubious. \"Just keep in mind that the Tulsa World reporter cannot validate her sources and claims anonymity, which leaves us skeptical that her claims are unsubstantiated and deceptive,\" Clark wrote. Clark Brewster, an attorney who represents Bates, said the accusations are based on an affidavit from a former Sheriff's Office employee who's now facing a first-degree murder charge. \"I don't put a lot of stock in that report or the credibility of who would further that report,\" Brewster said. Shooting casts spotlight on volunteer police programs . Sheriff Stanley Glanz and other sheriff's officials have repeatedly insisted Bates was properly trained. The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office has released a summary of Bates' training courses only over the past seven years. The office rejected CNN's request for the full training records because Bates' case is under investigation. Branstetter said she's run into similar obstacles when asking for the names of supervisors who'd signed off on Bates' training records. \"You would think the Sheriff's Office, if in fact there has been no pressure applied, no falsification of records, that they would be forthcoming with these documents,\" she told CNN's \"New Day.\" \"We've asked for them. They've said they don't believe they're public records.\" Bates was classified as an advanced reserve deputy for the Sheriff's Office. That means he would have had to complete 480 hours of the field training officer program to maintain that classification, the paper said. Bates would also have needed firearms certification training. But the sheriff himself has acknowledged there is a problem with Bates' gun certification records -- his office can't find them. \"Bob went out and qualified with three different weapons with an instructor,\" Glanz told KFAQ radio this week. He said Bates \"qualified with a young lady that was a firearms instructor.\" But she is no longer there. \"She has left the Sheriff's Office and is now a Secret", "summary": "Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona says Robert Bates never trained with them . \"He met every requirement, and all he did was give of himself,\" his attorney says .

Dollar noted in a recent address to his congregants that the devil was attempting to discredit him in regards to his campaign seeking $300 from 200,000 people globally to help buy the luxury jet. In a newly posted five-minute clip on YouTube, the Atlanta-area pastor speaks to his followers at World Changers Church International, tackling his critics and allegations about tithes, his real name and reports alleging members of having to reveal their W2 statuses to come into the church's sanctuary. \"(The devil thinks) I got to discredit that man before he starts showing people Jesus!\" Dollar preaches to loud applause. \"I'm on my sabbatical, and the enemy's trying to discredit me,\" Dollar stated. Dollar is focused in the video on getting his point across and slams critics of his original request by stating to the people gathered, \"I never one time came to you and asked you for a dime for this airplane, did I?\" But in March, Dollar did appeal in a video to \"friends from around the world,\" soliciting donations to replace his current 1984 Gulfstream G-1159A. Because of two accidents that occurred in the 31-year-old plane, Dollar and his staff have been flying commercial. \"The (critics) don't know what we do. That's why they asked the question, what does a preacher need with an airplane? If you knew what we did, then you wouldn't ask that question,\" Dollar said. \"Just because the world doesn't have it, doesn't mean that you can't.\" In March, the ministry's desire to purchase a Gulfstream G650 airplane was met with criticism on social media and was the subject of nationwide media reports. The furor came after a nearly six-minute video was uploaded on the Creflo Dollar Ministries website soliciting money for a Gulfstream G650, which sells for a reported $65 million. The page featuring the video and information on the fundraiser has been taken down, but those wishing to donate are still able to do so on the church's gift page. A Gulfstream G650 can fly 18 passengers and four crew members, according to gulfstream.com.

Even so, there were some genuinely funny moments, although the ratio was low, and you had to be patient to get to them. But when you step back and look at the event as a whole, and appreciate what's really happening -- in terms of press freedoms and even a U.S. president willing and able to poke fun at himself as well as others -- it's hard not to think of this particular Beltway-meets-showbiz event as a wonderfully American exercise in tolerance and good humor. That being said, it's a very tough room -- and not just because the Washington Hilton ballroom is so cavernous. More than 2,000 credentialed White House journalists and their mostly celebrity guests convened for the occasion. And convened, and convened, and convened, as time dragged on and dinner was served late. President Barack Obama, as Strong's warm-up act, didn't hit the podium until 10:20 p.m. (Strong got her turn at 10:45.) Obama, as in past years, came out strong -- a tough act to follow for any comedian. He had strong comedy lines and delivered them with timing that many stand-up comics would envy. Noting his lame-duck status, Obama said his advisers asked him if he had a bucket list. \"I have something that rhymes with bucket list,\" he claimed to have replied. Obama, noting the night's guest speaker, said, \"On 'Saturday Night Live,' Cecily impersonates CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin.\" Then, after a brief but well-timed pause, he added, \"Which is surprising, because usually, the only people impersonating journalists on CNN are journalists on CNN.\" Obama was nailing his own punch lines frequently, and perfectly. Then, to up the ante on his time at the podium, he welcomed his \"anger translator\" -- a recurring character played by Keegan-Michael Key on Comedy Central's \"Key & Peele.\" It was a clever surprise, and the crowd reacted with surprising enthusiasm (I wouldn't have presumed most of them knew of Key's character or his series), though Key's jokes lost something in the translation, and didn't pack the punch of Obama's. But the bit ended with a great twist: Obama himself getting so worked up about a snowball being carried into Congress to denounce global warming that the President's \"anger translator\" had to calm Obama down instead. And then came Cecily Strong, with a sly opening line referring not only to her appearance as one of the few female guest speakers at the correspondents' dinner, but to the upcoming 2016 presidential election. \"Feels right,\" she said, \"to have a woman following President Obama.\" From there, the crowd seemed as tough as advertised, with \"oohs\" often as loud as laughter, as Strong went from one target to another. She even got \"oohs\" when her targets were outside the room, as when she said, noting how Obama has aged visibly in office, \"Your hair is so white", "summary": "David Bianculli: Correspondents' dinner, and Cecily Strong as host, were mostly weak, but Obama had some funny zingers .

And then the inability to work -- any savings that there may have been is gone very quickly.\" She did all she could to help.

She was a single mother of four children and I was a young mom with two kids. And it was scary. You just want to be there to watch them grow up. Paying the bills, cleaning her home, making dinner for her kids -- all of that became a real struggle. I wanted to make things as easy as possible for her. So when I would go to the store, I'd grab an extra Tide and extra toilet paper. When I would make my meals for my family, I would double it and bring a meal over to her house. Once I helped with an electric bill. I just tried to do those little things that I hoped would relieve her of some stress.

Mohammed Abu Khdeir's name appeared this week on the wall at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl, the site of the national cemetery, as the nation prepared to mark its Memorial Day on Wednesday. Abu Khdeir, 16, was beaten and burned alive by three Israelis in July, according to prosecutors. A picture on the memorial website for Abu Khdeir shows an Israeli flag with two flowers called \"Blood of the Maccabees\" in Israel, a symbol often used on Memorial Day, when the country honors its soldiers killed in the line of duty and victims of terrorism. But Abu Khdeir's family objected to his inclusion on the memorial wall. His father, Hussein Abu Khdeir, said no one asked for his permission to put his son's name on the wall. \"I refuse that my son's name will be listed between soldiers of the occupation,\" he said. Almagor, an organization that works on behalf of victims of terror in Israel, also opposes Abu Khdeir's inclusion on the memorial. Almagor described the teen's death as a rogue attack and said he's not a terror victim. \"Somebody did here a trick, and we are going to fight to correct it,\" said Almagor CEO Meir Indor. \"We will not recognize someone who was murdered in a brutal way in an individual action.\" Indor's organization wrote a letter to the National Insurance Institute of Israel -- the country's social security administration, which maintains the memorial site -- demanding that Abu Khdeir's name be removed from the memorial wall.

But Zuriel Oduwole isn't \"most kids.\" When she gets ahead of her work, she packs her camera and microphones, jumps on a plane and interviews presidents instead. Born in California to a Nigerian father and a Mauritian mother, Oduwole is often described as \"the world's youngest filmmaker.\" Aged 12, she already has four documentaries under her belt -- all of which focus on African issues. It all started three years ago when Oduwole decided to enter a school documentary-making competition with a film about the Ghana revolution.

She turned to the web to find the tools she needed and got involved in the entire filmmaking process. \"As I edit, produce, set up and write the scripts for my documentaries, I have to learn a lot of things,\" says Oduwole, who is self-taught and uses online editing and voice software. Her second outing, \"Educating and Healing Africa Out of Poverty,\" looked at the creation of the African Union in 1963. She followed it up in 2014 with her movie \"Technology in Educational Development.\" But it was her most recent project that catapulted her to international recognition. Released late last year, \"A Promising Africa\" (watch trailer below) is the first in an ongoing series which will profile five African nations, starting with her father's homeland of Nigeria. \"I've interviewed 14 heads of state and a few of those include the President of Tanzania, Liberia, Kenya, South Sudan, Nigeria and Cape Verde, to name a few,\" says Oduwole. \"I've also been able to interview business leaders like my friend Mr Aliko Dangote.\" To date, \"A Promising Africa\" has received a limited-release on the big screen in five countries -- Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, UK and Japan.

+{"article": "(CNN)Robert Bates, 73, shot and killed a man while playing cops and robbers with real police. Bates was a reserve deputy sheriff, which allowed him to \"work full time jobs in the community and volunteer ... time in a myriad of events such as the Special Olympics and Tulsa State Fair,\" according to the Tulsa County Sheriff Office's website. But Bates wasn't limited to crowd control at sporting events for the disabled. He had taken part in more than 100 operations with the violent crimes task force, according to his lawyer. On April 2, Bates thought he was going to use a Taser on Eric Harris, who deputies had just tackled after he sold an undercover officer a Lugar pistol and then took off running. But Bates wasn't holding a Taser. He was holding his gun. He fired one shot and killed Harris. From a policing perspective, there wasn't even good reason to use a Taser against Harris. Cops were on scene. Harris wasn't getting the upper hand. He wasn't going anywhere. And despite what Bates would later claim, Harris was not running like a man with a gun. In fact, Harris was running fast and his arms were pumping very much like a man who is not protecting a gun in his waistband. What was Bates, an insurance company CEO, doing there in the first place? It certainly looks like Bates was given special access to \"real\" policing. Harris had given $2,500 to Sheriff Stanley Glanz's re-election campaign. He donated cars to the department. He gave equipment. So it would be noteworthy if Bates ends up being convicted based on evidence provided by \"sunglass cameras\" that he may have purchased for the department. A Tulsa police official said the agency has 130 reserve deputies, many of them wealthy people who make donations to the police. \"That's not unusual at all,\" he told the Tulsa World. Maybe Bates could have been a reserve deputy without donating anything. But I doubt there are many volunteer septuagenarians working with the violent crimes task force. He was too old to be policing the streets. Tulsa police said that Bates had served a year in 1964 as a police officer. Most police departments have mandatory retirement ages. Federal law-enforcement officers, for instance, retire at 57. How easy is it to confuse a gun for a Taser? Police officers generally look with a skeptical eye toward volunteers. For one thing, it makes it tougher to push for a pay raise when people are offering to do your job for free. But departments also know that you get what you pay for. What is the point of background checks, psychological tests and the professional training police undergo if a person can donate a few grand and go out on patrol? Some people are a little too eager to be police officers. These people perhaps buy a police-like car for their personal car. Maybe they put in a police light or two.

A smuggler in the Libyan capital of Tripoli laid bare the system for loading boats with poor and desperate refugees, during a conversation that a CNN producer secretly filmed. The conversation, recorded using a mobile phone, exposes the prices and incentives used to gather as many migrants as possible onto ships. An estimated 1,600 migrants have died so far this year on the dangerous Mediterranean crossing, but still more wait to try to reach Europe. CNN's producer was introduced to a Senegalese and Malian smuggler by an intermediary in Tripoli, who mistakenly thought she was a Syrian looking to bring other Syrian refugees with her onto boats to Italy. Why I fled: Migrants share their stories . The smuggler took her to an unfinished building on the outskirts of Tripoli near the city's many ports, where the migrants they have already found are kept until the crossing is ready. The building could only be reached by walking down a trash-littered alleyway, and featured a series of packed rooms, separated by curtains, where dozens sat -- well over the 80 migrants she was promised would be in her boat. The smuggler explained that the \"final price\" for Syrians -- often thought to be richer than their African migrant counterparts -- was $1,000. He added that for each Syrian she brought with her, the producer would get a $100 discount. So if she brought 10, she could travel free. He explained how the \"discount\" was \"well known,\" suggesting perhaps it was part of the unwritten rules that govern the trade and why so many migrants come to each boat. Any fears about the crossing were supposed to be allayed by the smuggler insisting the boats they used had new motors, and that the Senegalese pilot would have a satellite telephone and GPS to assist the crossing. He also assured CNN's producer, when asked, that if the people became too many, they would use two boats.

+{"article": "(CNN)Thinking about presidential candidates? Apparently, hormones are a major factor one should consider. According to one female businesswoman in Texas, Hillary Clinton shouldn't be president because her hormones might make her so irrational she'll start an unnecessary war. When George W. Bush waged an unnecessary war in Iraq -- was his testosterone to blame? As Cheryl Rios, the CEO of Go Ape Marketing, sees it: \"We're built differently, we have different hormones. In the world that we live in, I understand that there's equal rights and that's a wonderful thing and I support all of that. I don't support a woman being president.\" \"With the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war,\" Rios wrote in a Facebook post. If Rios is concerned about hormones impacting decisions in the Oval Office, she'd be better off worrying about the male candidates for president. Throughout history, male hormones have indeed impaired some male leaders' decision-making. Studies show that women leaders take fewer unnecessary risks than their male counterparts. If science doesn't convince you, just Google \"cheating politicians\" for the long and sordid list of men like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mark Sanford and John Edwards, whose hormones got the best of them. Rios has taken a lot of flak for her \"biblically\" inspired beliefs, but she's not the only one who's arguing that a woman's hormones are a legitimate leadership concern. Time magazine declared Hillary Clinton the \"perfect\" age to be president, because she's a postmenopausal woman who is \"biologically primed\" to lead. (She also happens to be a former first lady, senator and secretary of state.) I'm not joking. Believe me, I wish I were. No wonder Jon Stewart left \"The Daily Show\" before the election cycle ramps up in full swing. If discussions about a candidate's hormones are what we have to look forward to, the state of presidential politics is depressing indeed. But underneath the biochemistry debate is a much scarier consideration: The bias against women in the workplace is so well established that even in 2015, a female candidate will be hard-pressed to get elected unless we have a serious discussion about ending gender bias. We want to believe that we live in a world where our daughters can do anything and be anything. And you'd think they could -- they outnumber boys in college, graduate school and the work force. But what will limit their potential is not biochemistry or ability, but a bias in how women and girls are viewed. Unfortunately, Cheryl Rios' view of women is not unique. Some people believe women have \"our place\" and that place is not at the table. They'll tell your daughter to \"go for it\" but believe she isn't qualified to fulfill her dreams.

Buhari, who some 30 years ago was Nigeria's harsh military leader, could of course prove to be a disaster; so many self-described reformers have been. swath . But the peaceful transition of power from President Goodluck Jonathan to President Buhari is the first of its kind in history. And the fact that the winner ran on an anti-corruption platform suggests that ordinary Nigerians have finally had enough of the venality of their elites. For too long, Nigeria's poor have been victims of their country's enormous wealth. The cancer of corruption has to be cut out. I visited Nigeria in January and found a country under siege. Abuja, the capital city, is where the rich have always imagined themselves making their last stand. Soldiers guard the treacherous motorways; houses are compounds covered in barbed wire. It's a place where poor children rise at dawn to sift through the trash cans for food and black magic is practiced by the side of the road at dusk. Yet thanks to Nigeria's oil, there is also tremendous wealth in Abuja. And when you don't really make money but simply take it from the soil and sell it, a crude kind of crony capitalism develops in which who you know is far more important than what you know. Graft trickles down through the system; through family, through patronage and through shady deals done with foreign businessmen at the 24-hour party palace at the Abuja Hilton Hotel. The richest buy off the anger of the poorest, and vast swaths of society become complicit in the crime. For a while, that system brought some stability to the government of Jonathan. But stability was contingent upon oil remaining at $110 a barrel, and in recent months the price has collapsed to below $50 a barrel.

+{"article": "(CNN)The reserve deputy who shot a suspect with his firearm rather than his stun gun, and another deputy who can be heard cursing at the suspect after he was shot, were not in their normal states of mind because of the elevated stress of apprehending the suspect, according to a Tulsa, Oklahoma, investigator. Tulsa Police Sgt. Jim Clark, who has been brought in to review the case, said Tulsa County Reserve Deputy Robert Bates, 73, \"inadvertently\" shot Eric Courtney Harris after Harris -- a possibly PCP-addled felon who had days prior sold methamphetamine to an undercover officer -- ran from authorities after trying to sell an illegal handgun during an undercover sting. As deputies tried to handcuff Harris, Bates arrived with a pepper spray gun in hand. He warned his fellow deputies he was going to use a Taser on the suspect, but instead, he fired a single gunshot -- and immediately apologized, Clark said, citing a recently released video. Clark attributed Bates' actions to a phenomenon known as \"slip and capture.\" An example is when someone who drives a car with a manual transmission gets behind the wheel of a car with an automatic transmission. The driver will press her or his left foot down when stopping abruptly, even though there's no clutch pedal, he said. Quoting Bill Lewinski, executive director of the Force Science Institute, Clark further explained: \"These are mistakes that are made when you think you are doing one thing but you actually are doing another, and the result often is directly opposite of what you intended. In effect, your intended behavior slips off the path that you want it to go because it is captured by a stronger response and sent to a different direction.\" Bates announced that he was going to deploy his Taser, and he pulled the trigger only once, as he was trained to do, Clark said. Police are trained to \"double-tap\" when firing their handguns, he said. The gun jumped out of Bates' hand because he wasn't expecting recoil, Clark said, and Bates expressed surprise and remorse that he had shot Harris. Quoting Lewinski again, Clark said, \"This is the slip and capture. Under time pressure to address a perceived threat, his intention to draw his Taser slipped off his agenda, so to speak, when it was captured and completed by a more well-rehearsed motor program. ... He was not conscious of this unfortunate switch until after the shot was fired. In his urgency, his concentration was focused exclusively on Harris' back, where he intended to place the Taser darts. Because of what's called 'inattentional blindness,' meaning that he wasn't consciously paying attention to and registering it, he wouldn't have been aware that the feel of the gun was different from that of the Taser. And in this case the weight of the gun and Taser are nearly identical.\" Clark was emphatic that Bates had done nothing criminally wrong and went so far as to say the reserve deputy was a victim. \"Reserve Deputy Bates did not commit a crime.

+{"article": "(CNN)It's not going to be enough to slake the thirst of the elusive Mars bunny, but scientists say new research seems to support the theory that what looks like a bone-dry red planet during the day could be dotted with tiny puddles of salty water at night. Experts have long thought that a particular kind of salt detected in Martian soil could pull water vapor from the the planet's thin atmosphere into the soil at night and then keep it from freezing despite the extreme cold. Researchers aren't saying they've seen direct evidence of brine hiding out in the Martian night. But they say the new study -- based on a full year of monitoring of temperature and humidity conditions by the Mars Curiosity rover in Gale Crater -- does seem to bear the theory out. \"Gale Crater is one of the least likely places on Mars to have conditions for brines to form, compared to sites at higher latitudes or with more shading,\" said Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tucson, a co-author of the new report. NASA chief scientist: 'Indications' of alien life by 2025 . \"So if brines can exist there, that strengthens the case they could form and persist even longer at many other locations,\" possibly explaining channels seen on Mars that appear be formed by running water, he said. Researchers say Mars may once have had an sea as extensive as Earth's Atlantic Ocean, and Curiosity has found evidence of ancient streambeds and a lake on the planet. The vast majority of that water has been lost to space over the eons, leaving Mars an overwhelmingly dry and inhospitable place. The new study doesn't change the picture for life on Mars. The researchers say the temperatures they measured are too low and water too scarce \"to support terrestrial organisms\" (sorry, bunny fans). But scientists say evidence of water ice at the planet's poles and now more evidence toward the theory of widespread brines keeps them hoping they'll find evidence that life at least once existed there. \"Liquid water is a requirement for life as we know it, and a target for Mars exploration missions,\" lead author Javier Martin-Torres said in a statement. \"Conditions near the surface of present-day Mars are hardly favorable for microbial life as we know it,\" he said, \"but the possibility for liquid brines on Mars has wider implications for habitability and geological water-related processes.\" In other words, we'll keep looking.

The collection, which includes works by some of the greatest artists of the 20th century, went under the hammer in New York on March 31, following a tour of Hong Kong, Paris, London and Los Angeles. Bacall, who died in August 2014 at the age of 89, first shot to international fame in 1944 with her first film, \"To Have And Have Not.\" That was also when the husky-voiced starlet met her future husband, Humphrey Bogart. At the recent 2015 Golden Globes, George Clooney paid tribute to the silver screen queen in his award winning speech. \"I don't remember what awards Lauren Bacall won, I just remember her saying: 'You know how to whistle, don't you Steve. You just put your lips together and blow.'\" said Clooney, referring to one of her most legendary lines from her first movie. The 750-piece collection, which fetched a total of $3.64 million, featured bronze sculptures, jewelry, and a number of decorative arts and paintings, which were sold at Bonhams auction house in New York. \"Her collection is truly a reflection of her extraordinary taste and remarkable life,\" said Jon King, Bonhams' vice president. Among the 50 items highlighted in the auction preview were six bronze maquettes by Henry Moore, Britain's greatest 20th century sculptor and one of Bacall's favorite artists, whom she developed a close relationship with. One of them sold for close to $120,000. Also for sale were some of Bacall's most loved jewelry pieces, created by legendary French designer Jean Schlumberger, most known for his work at Tiffany & Co. A rose diamond camel brooch by British jeweler Elizabeth Gage fetched $23,750 and was accompanied by the original drawing and correspondence from the designer, which shows the close-knit relationship Bacall had with Gage. The wide-ranging collection was expected to appeal to a variety of collectors: fine arts and antiques dealers, fans of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, as well as memorabilia enthusiasts. Most of the items auctioned come from the apartment in New York's Dakota Building that she shared with her second husband, actor Jason Robards, until 1969. But King said fans of Humphrey Bogart would have been pleased to know some of the items were also from their shared residence in Los Angeles. King, who got to know Bacall in her late years, said the collection reflects the actress' eclectic taste, and there was only one principle she applied to collecting: . \"Everything had to kind of speak to her, to catch her eye. She loved form, she loved texture, she loved color. And she loved mixing it all up.

+{"article": "(CNN)As art, film stills are often overlooked. The photographers tend to be anonymous; it's easy to imagine their work done by the director or cinematographer. Their images are often lumped in with the promotional machinery: Whether documenting the stars frolicking on set or getting down to business, it's just another form of salesmanship. Which is why the work of Ernst Haas is so striking. Haas, one of the 20th century's great photojournalists and image-makers -- an early member of the great Magnum Photos cooperative who was famous enough in his prime to have been the subject of a Museum of Modern Art exhibit in 1962 -- was also a regular on movie sets. It was a necessity in those early days, said John Jacob, the editor of a new book of Haas' movie photography, \"Ernst Haas: On Set.\" \"Working on film sets was really important to Magnum, and all of the photographers working with Magnum in the '50s did films,\" says Jacob, now the McEvoy Family Curator for Photography at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Not only did the work pay off financially, but the photographers also established relationships with members of the industry, he said. And the stars and directors knew what they were getting: some of the best in the field. Photographers such as Haas were entrusted to bring their talent and style to the work. The photographers \"are definitely producing work for posterity, that very much has their own fingerprint on it,\" Jacob said. Such distinction is obvious from looking at Haas' work -- some of which is as famous as the movies he worked on. There's a striking picture of Orson Welles in 1949's \"The Third Man,\" hemmed in by the darkness in a way that suggests the shadowy themes of the classic film. Another, of Gregory Peck and Chuck Connors in 1958's \"The Big Country,\" is as dramatic as any full-scale movie duel. (Westerns were a specialty.) But Haas also has a way of documenting the artificiality of film work, whether it's capturing the sprawling, workaday set of 1965's \"The Greatest Story Ever Told\" or snapping a relaxed picture of Barbara Streisand as Dolly Levi in 1969's \"Hello, Dolly!\" Social media . Follow @CNNPhotos on Twitter to join the conversation about photography. The former is particularly interesting: an image of actors splayed on crosses for the crucifixion scene, surrounded by ladders, a camera crane, a painted scrim and several casually dressed crew members. Jacob observes that in each of Haas' images there's an eye for the unusual. The black-and-white work from \"The Greatest Story Ever Told,\" for example, is almost prayerful, while the color images call attention to the artificiality of film. And some of Haas' other color images, especially his work for 1961's \"West Side Story,\" fit in neatly with others in his catalog, as Haas was known for an impressionistic blur of hues that Jacob calls \"the Haas effect.\" Haas died in 1986, and despite being celebrated during his life, his name is somewhat forgotten these days.

It's hard not to be concerned with these questions given the constant drumbeat of news about the issues that tear us apart as a nation: immigration, community and police relations, poverty, education and dozens of other crucial matters facing America. Adding to our divisions is a harsh public atmosphere where politicians are preoccupied with how they can win the next election or give the best sound bite, and where lobby groups work to protect their narrow self-interests while ignoring a broader vision of what is best for our country. In Ohio, we have been able to drive meaningful change on many thorny issues that have held our state back in the past -- social services, criminal justice, economic competiveness, infrastructure -- and I've enjoyed sharing our state's winning formula with others in my travels. In 2011, I returned to public service -- after earlier serving for 18 years in Congress in the 1980s and '90s. Over the intervening years, Ohio had lost its way and was hurting. I felt called to help after knowing that members of 350,000 Ohio families had lost their jobs and were looking to get back on their feet. Ohio is much stronger today. And that turnaround and success are worth being excited about and sharing. For example, we have gone from 89 cents in our rainy day fund and an $8 billion shortfall to now having one of the nation's strongest state budgets and a nearly $2 billion surplus. We've gone from losing 350,000 private-sector jobs to creating about 340,000 new ones. We've gone from very high taxes across the board to the largest tax cuts in of any state in America, including tax cuts for the working poor. We're seeing wages grow faster than the national average and Ohio's unemployment rate drop to the lowest level in more than a decade. Getting Ohio back on track wasn't easy. It required big ideas, going against the status quo and tuning out those who worry only about protecting their own special interests. Yes, we have a great success story to tell about our state. And we need to make Ohio's success contagious. The leadership style that helped us turn around Ohio is needed in Washington, where America's $18 trillion debt ticks higher each day and our congressional leaders would struggle even to pass a resolution saluting Mother's Day if it required their action. Great leaders are not primarily guided by polls, political parties, focus groups, re-election, special interests or protecting the status quo. Instead they bring teams of people together, challenge them to innovate and engage both sides to work together to fashion solutions based on common sense and the common good.

+{"article": "(CNN)On October 31, 2014, the Italian government announced the end of \"Mare Nostrum\" -- a naval mission that rescued would-be migrants in peril as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to seek security and a new life in Europe. In the operation's year-long existence, the Italian Navy and Coastguard had rescued an estimated 100,000 people. But it proved expensive and politically contentious, and Europe was not prepared to help Italy shoulder the burden of the crisis. Without European support, the Italian government cut back the naval assets dedicated to rescuing migrants. Mare Nostrum, which had been launched after some 600 people died when two migrant ships sank in 2013, was replaced by the more modest \"Operation Triton,\" under the auspices of the European Union's border agency, Frontex. Triton has about one-third of the funding of Mare Nostrum, with just six ships and patrol boats, two planes and one helicopter. It was designed as a policing rather than a humanitarian mission. At its inception, Klaus Rosler, operations director for Frontex, said \"Triton is not a replacement for Mare Nostrum.\" Nor was Frontex \"a coordinating body for search and rescue operations.\" Six months later, the argument about how to handle unprecedented numbers of desperate people heading for Europe continues unabated. Contributors to Triton include Portugal, the Netherlands, Finland and Iceland. Britain -- for example -- is not. It argues that search and rescue operations in international waters are \"an unintended 'pull factor,' encouraging more migrants to attempt the dangerous sea crossing and thereby leading to more tragic and unnecessary deaths.\" It's perhaps no coincidence that immigration is a hot-button issue in Britain, with the UK Independence Party attacking the Conservative-led coalition government for being soft on allowing foreigners into the country. Similarly, the opposition Northern League in Italy opposed Mare Nostrum, accusing it of enticing migrants. If the first few months of this year are any guide, demand has not diminished even if the prospect of being rescued has. People from Syria, Mali and Eritrea are among the tens of thousands trying to escape repression, violence and abject poverty. Despite the danger, the great majority head first for Libya, where the collapse of authority allows smuggling operations to go unhindered. Italy -- the European state whose territory is closest to Libya -- has borne the brunt of the task of picking up, sheltering and providing food and medical help to the illegal migrants. In 2014, 170,000 migrants arrived in Italy by sea. Italian ships have picked up about 11,000 migrants in the past week alone. The islands of Sicily and of Lampedusa (which is closer to Tunisia than to mainland Italy) see an almost daily influx of human misery. And at this time of year, there is a surge in the illegal trafficking as the weather and sea conditions improve.

Although she has watched her standing in the polls sag in recent months, there is likely to be a boost in the days that follow the announcement. For Democrats, there is ample reason to be excited about Clinton's run for the presidency. She is certainly one of the strongest candidates in many decades. She brings to the table extensive political and policy experience, a combination of skills that is often lacking. She has been through some of the roughest partisan wars and emerged stronger than ever before. She has a keen sense about the nature of the modern news media, how to use it to her advantage and how to survive scandal frenzies. She is a hardened, tough partisan who will not shy away from Republican attack. Americans have many positive memories of Clinton name, given the booming economy of the late 1990s during Bill Clinton's presidency. If Hillary Clinton puts together an effective campaign, she could be unbeatable in the Democratic primaries as well as in the general election. However, during the buildup to her final decision, some of her weaknesses have also been exposed. Clinton doesn't want to end up like Vice President Al Gore in 2000. Although he did relatively well in the final election (with many Americans believing that he did actually defeat George W. Bush) he didn't generate much energy once the campaign started. Although he too was touted as a \"perfect\" candidate who was the ideal person for the job, something seemed stiff and inauthentic when he actually hit the trail. He seemed to freeze when the television cameras were rolling. Gore had trouble connecting with voters, and he seemed to remake his image constantly. His biggest asset ended up being that he was viewed as the inevitable nominee, rather than what he actually stood for. Clinton must avoid following Gore's path. She suffered this fate in the 2008 primaries and can't afford to do so again. She needs to do more than rest on the perception that her candidacy is inevitable and on her record of experience. That is not enough. More important is for her to put forth an exciting vision about what she would stand for in the White House. Voters thirst for signs of greatness when they pick their presidents, even if they are savvy enough to understand that the reality of a polarized Washington will probably limit her ability to achieve bold change. A recent story in The Washington Post suggests that her advisers are aware of this potential liability. After the announcement, they are going to avoid big rallies and events and instead concentrate on smaller events where she will meet with voters directly in states such as Iowa and New Hampshire.

+{"article": "(CNN)U.S. President Barack Obama's recent explanation of how his administration will engage with the Middle East is far from reassuring to the region. In his interview with Tom Friedman from the New York Times on April 4, Obama explained U.S. foreign policy moves on Iran and Cuba, which Friedman described as the \"Obama doctrine.\" He stated that \"We will engage, but we preserve all our capabilities.\" By capabilities, the President must mean the tools, whether diplomatic, economic or military, to protect and defend U.S. interests. The doctrine is significant because it provides greater clarity about the U.S. policy under the rest of Obama's presidency. Instead of the \"new beginning\" that the President outlined in his much discussed Cairo speech in 2009, U.S. policy in the Middle East remains mired in a contradiction between principles and action on the ground. For example, the President asserted in the interview that \"the U.S.'s core interests in the region are not oil, are not territorial ... Our core interests are that everybody is living in peace, that it is orderly, that our allies are not being attacked, that children are not having barrel bombs dropped on them, that massive displacements aren't taking place.\" Yet, at the very moment that the President was offering this assessment, U.S. allies, such as the Arab Gulf states, Jordan, Lebanon and the legitimate government in Yemen, found themselves under serious threat and attack; the Syrian regime was continuing to relentlessly bomb its own citizens; and the Middle East was faced with the biggest refugee crisis in its history. Implementing the core U.S. interests outlined by Obama in the interview is clearly not working. There exist grave doubts about whether the current U.S. administration is indeed ready to deploy the above-mentioned \"capabilities.\" It seems that the U.S. will only use them when its national security is at stake. And those core interests are limited to dealing with terrorism and nuclear proliferation only and not the broader aspects mentioned by the President. The use of drone technology across the region, the military strikes being conducted against ISIS in Iraq and Syria and the framework agreement between Iran and six world powers on the Iranian nuclear programs are cases in point. Establishing a region \"living in peace\" is clearly not an instance where those capabilities will be deployed and is not part of the so-called Obama doctrine. In the same vein, the majority of the Arab world and the entire Gulf region look at the recently announced Iran nuclear deal with a sense of suspicion and trepidation. Having directly experienced the problematic interventionist Iranian policies for decades, the Arab world is simply not ready to give Tehran the benefit of doubt on any regional issue. But neither is it ready to trust U.S. assurances that outside a nuclear agreement, the U.S. will indeed put forward a concerted strategy to contain Iranian influence throughout the region or to defend the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states against any Iranian threat.

+{"article": "(CNN)Change is coming to Ferguson. In the next few weeks the Department of Justice (DOJ) will begin to negotiate in earnest with the city to restructure the police department, which the department has charged with engaging in a pattern and practice of racial discrimination. It should not be forgotten that the DOJ review of the Ferguson Police Department was precipitated by months of protests and activism following the killing of Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer and by revelations about the town's dysfunctional government and court system by local civil rights law groups. Now, after a half year of unrest, and with citizens on Tuesday electing two new black city council members, change is beginning to come to Ferguson. The question is, what kind of change? The report from the Department of Justice offered a devastating insight into a police department and court system that preyed on its own citizens. Through illegal traffic stops and arrests, and the use of excessive force, the police department held town residents in bondage. The municipal court system used excessive court fines and fees to ensure that citizens arrested for even minor infractions would be charged thousands of dollars or face jail time. Court costs and fees constituted the second-largest sources of revenue for the town. Rather than a force for public safety, the Ferguson Police Department became, according to Attorney General Eric Holder, \"a collection agency\" -- one that preyed disproportionately on the town's African-American residents. The evidence of ugly and explicit racial discrimination was devastating. It included blatantly racist emails traded among officers, and evidence that African-Americans were victims in all of the police canine bite incidents recorded by the department. But just a few weeks before the release of the report, the Ferguson police chief declared there were \"no racial issues\" in his department. Ferguson's ugly, racist emails released . The recommendations in the report, ranging from new training and supervision of police officers, addressing racially discriminatory conduct to structural revisions in the court system, will, if implemented, remake the law enforcement system in the town.

Without question, change is coming to the town's government. Town Manager John Shaw, Ferguson's most powerful official and, until the DOJ's blistering report, the one who inexplicably managed to elude public scrutiny, resigned weeks ago and has been replaced by the city's deputy manager. Three sitting city council members chose not to run for office again and, on Tuesday, citizens elected two black candidates to the city council, changing its racial composition: Five of six members and the mayor were white. Now the council will be 50% black. Ferguson's hapless police Chief Thomas Jackson also finally resigned after holding on through a months-long display of astonishing incompetence.

Police Commissioner Anthony Batts told reporters there are no excuses for the fact that Gray was not buckled in as he was transported to a police station. Five days after Gray's death and amid ongoing protests, police officials acknowledged mistakes were made during and after his arrest. Gray, who was stopped April 12 after a foot pursuit through several housing complexes, should have received medical attention at the scene of his arrest, said Deputy Police Commissioner Kevin Davis. A witness said the man was yelling and indicated he was having difficulty breathing. Batts told reporters in an afternoon news conference: \"We know our police employees failed to get him medical attention in a timely manner multiple times.\" Investigators are trying to learn more about Gray's condition at each of the three stops the van made on its way to a police station. At the first stop, Gray was placed in leg irons. The driver stopped a second time \"to deal with Mr. Gray and the facts of that interaction are under investigation,\" Davis said. The van stopped one more time to add a second prisoner. Batts told reporters that at the third stop an officer saw Gray on the floor of the van, asking for a medic. The officer and the van driver picked him up and put him on the seat, the commissioner said. When the van arrived at the Western District station, police called for an ambulance, said Davis, who is in charge of the investigation. An attorney for the Gray family said it was positive news, but there is a more important issue. \"It's certainly a step towards acknowledging the truth that the police did not follow their own internal regulations,\" Jason Downs told CNN's \"Erin Burnett OutFront.\" \"What it does not get at is, it does not get at the core of this case and that is why did Mr. Gray need medical attention in the first place? ... That's the question that still has not been answered.\" The developments came two days after a police union attorney spoke of the possibility that the injuries occurred during a \"rough ride,\" a frequently claimed practice in which police vehicles are deliberately driven in a way that injures suspects. At least two suspects have won court cases against the city after being left paralyzed in such rides over the last decade or so, The Baltimore Sun reported Thursday. Gray died Sunday, one week after Baltimore police arrested him. At some point, he suffered a severe spinal cord injury. His family said his voice box was crushed and his neck snapped before he slipped into a coma and died. Batts said he had been given preliminary results of an autopsy on Gray. The medical examiner's full autopsy may take another 30 to 45 days, Batts said, because toxicology tests still need to be examined and spinal experts may be brought", "summary": "Attorney for the family of Freddie Gray says developments are step forward but another issue is more important .

And sometimes, airlines lose things that are irreplaceable. American Jennifer Stewart says she was devastated to learn that Etihad Airways lost her most important baggage following a recent trip from Abu Dhabi to New York City: her 2-year-old pet cat, Felix. Stewart said that she and her husband, Joseph Naaman, booked Felix on their Etihad Airways flight from the United Arab Emirates to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on April 1. Shortly after the plane arrived in New York that evening, Felix went missing somewhere on the grounds of Kennedy Airport, according to Etihad Airways. Felix was able to get loose, Stewart said she believes, because the cat's plastic carrier was badly damaged at some point either during the flight or the transfer from the airplane to the pickup area. Stewart said a cargo manager called the couple to an office after they landed at Kennedy last week and notified them that their cat's carrier had been crushed. Photographs taken by Stewart showed a large hole in the top of the cat's carrier. At least one of the corners of the case appeared partially collapsed. Nearly one week later, Felix remains missing. \"For them to take a cat and ship him like he was cargo, not a live animal, makes me sick,\" Stewart said. \"You trust that people care and are doing the job well, and then this happens.\" A representative for Etihad Airways told CNN that that the loss of pets during air travel is \"extremely rare.\" The airline shipped more than 200 pets last year. Etihad Airways is investigating the incident and is working with ground handlers at the New York airport to help locate the missing cat. The Abu Dhabi-based carrier also said it hired \"third-party specialists\" to help in the hunt for Felix. \"We deeply regret this unfortunate incident and are keeping the owner apprised of the progress of the search,\" Etihad Airways told CNN in a statement. \"We will review our pet handling procedures in the wake of this incident, as the safety and care of pets traveling with Etihad Airways is a top priority.\" Stewart and her husband booked the cat's flight as part of their job relocation to the United States after living in Abu Dhabi for more than three years. The couple said they spent $1,200 to ship Felix on the 14-hour flight. \"You pay all of this money, but for what? People assume you pay extra to have your pets taken care of, but they're treated no differently than a free piece of checked luggage,\" Stewart said. It isn't the first time a pet has gone missing at New York's busiest airport. In August 2011, a cat escaped from its carrier before an American Airlines flight from New York to San Francisco. That cat was eventually discovered -- alive -- two months later in a customs room at the airport.

At first it looked abandoned. It was in bad shape, listing to one side. The crew of the 1,000-foot long container ship thought it was a yacht that had wrecked. Incredibly, as they got closer, they saw there was a man on it, signaling for help. \"He was moving, walking around, waving to us and in surprisingly good condition,\" Capt. Thomas Grenz told CNN by phone Friday. That man, Louis Jordan, 37, had an amazing story. He'd been drifting on the 35-foot Pearson sailboat for more than two months since leaving Conway, South Carolina, to fish in the ocean. Just a few days into his trip, a storm capsized his boat and broke his mast. One of his shoulders was broken, too, so he couldn't fix the boat right away. Eventually he was able to rig a makeshift mast and sail, but he could make little headway against the currents. \"It took so long,\" Jordan said. \"It moved so slowly.\" The boat capsized two more times before he was rescued, according to Jordan. His father, Frank Jordan, told CNN's Jim Sciutto that he was expecting his son to look different. \"He looked good. Hadn't lost too much weight. He wasn't badly sunburned like I thought he probably would be,\" he said. Lost at sea for 66 days . After his food and water ran out, it became an issue of survival. Collecting fresh water was a nightmare for Jordan. The weather wouldn't cooperate. Records show there were more than a dozen storms off the coast of the Carolinas during the time he was missing. The precipitation came at night during harsh conditions. \"I had tried to collect (rain)water ... but every time the waves would splash into the boat,\" Jordan said. \"The waves would put saltwater into my freshwater and it tasted bad. \"Finally the conditions were right. I filled up my water tank, which is 25 gallons. I filled up a bucket.\" Then there was the issue of food.

For years medical experts have warned about the dangers of too much salt, but new research is now questioning conventional wisdom and warning instead of the dangers of too little salt. Both federal government regulations and the American Heart Association have for decades warned that excess salt contributes to the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans each year. As the federal government prepares its influential Dietary Guidelines for 2015, some scientists are now saying that the average American salt consumption rate carries no risk. The guidelines currently dictate the people should limit their intake to 2,300 milligrams, with an even stricter 1,500 milligram limit for African Americans and people over 50. In February the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recommended keeping the larger limit, although it withdrew support for the stricter limit for African Americans and people over 50, reports The Washington Post. 'There is no longer any valid basis for the current salt guidelines,' said Andrew Mente, a professor at McMaster University in Ontario and one of the researchers involved in a major study published last year by the New England Journal of Medicine. 'So why are we still scaring people about salt?' While experts on both sides agree that eating too much salt - especially for people with high blood pressure - can be dangerous there is much disagreement over what constitutes too much. The average American ingests about 3,500 milligrams of salt per day - the amount of sodium in a teaspoon of salt - and so under the current dietary guidelines Americans are indeed endangering themselves. Even within the American Heart Association, one of the organizations promoting the current salt limits, there is disagreement with at least one former president claiming that there is no evidence that reducing salt consumption can lower blood pressure . Salt skeptics however believe most Americans are fine. In their view, a typical healthy person can consume as much as 6,000 milligrams per day without significantly raising health risks. The skeptics also warn of the dangers of consuming too little - they say that below 3,000 milligrams also raises health risks. The PURE study published last August by the New England Journal of Medicine found that people who conform to the recommended limits (2,300 milligrams) actually have more heart trouble. They found that low sodium may stimulate the production of renin, a hormone that may have harmful effects on blood vessels. Even within the American Heart Association, one of the organizations promoting the current salt limits, there is disagreement. 'The totality of the evidence strongly suggests that Americans should be lowering their sodium intake,' said Elliott Antman, the president of the American Heart Association. 'Everyone agrees that current sodium intake is too high.' But Suzanne Oparil, a former president of the American Heart Association, told the Post that there is no evidence that reducing salt consumption can lower blood pressure.

Its inventors say it can act as a smart sensor, and give everyday objects computing capabilities. The Michigan Micro Mote is the smallest computer in the world, measuring less than 2mm across. The Michigan Micro Mote contains solar cells that power the battery with ambient light, including indoor rooms with no natural sunlight, allowing the computers to run perpetually. This line of 'smart dust' devices includes computers equipped with imagers (with motion detection), temperature sensors, and pressure sensors. By strobing light at a high frequency, the operator is able to send information to the computer. Once the Micro Mote processes the data, it is able to send the information to a central computer via conventional radio frequencies. The Michigan Micro Mote is the first complete, operational computer system measuring as small as two millimeters across. 'To be 'complete,' a computer system must have an input of data, the ability to process that data - meaning process and store it, make decisions about what to do next \u2013 and ultimately, the ability to output the data.' Professor David Blaauw explained. 'The sensors are the input and the radios are the output. The other key to being a complete computer is the ability to supply its own power.' The Michigan Micro Mote contains solar cells that power the battery with ambient light, including indoor rooms with no natural sunlight, allowing the computers to run perpetually. This line of 'smart dust' devices includes computers equipped with imagers (with motion detection), temperature sensors, and pressure sensors. They are the culmination of work initiated by Blaauw and Sylvester on very low-power processing for millimeter-scale systems. A key breakthrough in the size/power matchup came with the Phoenix processor in 2008. The Phoenix processor is miniscule at 915 x 915\u00b5m2, and boasts ultra-low operating voltage and a unique standby mode that results in an average power consumption of only 500pW. (Consider that 1pW is the average power consumption of a single human cell.) Blaauw explained why Phoenix's extreme energy efficiency is so important: 'As you shrink down in size, the percentage of the system tends to be dominated by the battery. 'It's actually not hard to make chips small, but it is hard to make them low power. 'We could have very small chips, but we'd still end up with really large batteries.' This line of 'smart dust' devices includes computers equipped with imagers (with motion detection), temperature sensors, and pressure sensors. One key application for this line of smart sensors lies in personal security and information, its inventors say. The solar system allows the computer to work under indoor lights without ever having to be charged.

Taken over five years, the footage includes plasma raining down on the sun, an extreme solar eruption and even a comet breezing through the sun\u2019s atmosphere. Scroll down for video . Filmmaker Michael K\u00f6nig from Cologne, Germany has created an amazing video showing solar activity (shown). It was made by stitching together footage from Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory over five years . The movie, called Sun, was created by filmmaker Michael K\u00f6nig from Cologne, Germany. It uses footage recorded by Nasa\u2019s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft between 2011 and 2015. \u2018This montage features excerpts of 4K full-disk pictures in extreme ultraviolet channels,\u2019 explained Mr K\u00f6nig, and it \u2018offers a glance at spicules, solar flares, filaments and an overview of the sun\u2019s atmosphere.\u2019 Highlights of the video include large, bright tendrils extending outward from the sun\u2019s surface and occasionally crashing down again - known as solar prominences. Other fantastic sections show bright, active regions on the sun\u2019s surface as magnetic fields send it into turmoil. Transits of the moon, Venus and Earth across the sun, as observed from the SDO, are also seen, while towards the end of the video Comet Lovejoy can be seen passing the sun in December 2011. Another incredible part of the video shows \u2018coronal rain\u2019 streaming down onto the sun from a loop of material above the sun\u2019s surface. Coronal rain is formed when hot plasma in the corona - the sun\u2019s atmosphere - cools and condenses in strong magnetic fields. The plasma is attracted to the magnetic fields and condenses, slowly falling back to the solar surface over several hours. Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), illustrated below, was launched on 11 February 2010 and has observed the sun ever since. It's goal is to understand how exactly the sun interacts with the environment around Earth. By watching the sun in different wavelengths - and therefore different temperatures - scientists can watch how material courses through the corona, which holds clues to what causes eruptions on the sun, what heats the sun's atmosphere up to 1,000 times hotter than its surface, and why the sun's magnetic fields are constantly on the move. SDO also measures fluctuations in the sun's extreme ultraviolet output, which provides the majority of energy for heating Earth's upper atmosphere. Five years into its mission, SDO continues to send back tantalizing imagery to incite scientists' curiosity. For example, in late 2014, SDO captured imagery of the largest sun spots seen since 1995 as well as a torrent of intense solar flares.

Despite a 35-year fight to get the trees cut down to size, the council has ruled they can stay. It is the final defeat in a battle that involved two generations of Mrs Alexander\u2019s family. It kicked off 35 years ago when Mrs Alexander\u2019s aunt found her vegetable patch at the property would not grow anything worth eating because of the leylandii. A row between neighbours over a 40ft high leylandii hedge (pictured) has finally come to and end after 35 years . The battle between the neighbouring properties started in 1980 when the owner planted a vegetable patch which withered and died in the shade of her neighbour's massive hedge . Then, 23 years ago, single mother Mrs Alexander bought the house and asked her neighbour Jeanette Robinson to trim the hedge. She claims Mrs Robinson refused and declared: \u2018I would rather move than touch these trees.\u2019 The dispute rumbled on, with Mrs Alexander, 54, claiming that the trees knocked \u00a320,000 off the value of her property. She sensed an opportunity, however, with the passing of the High Hedge Act in Scotland in 2013 which allows local authorities to take action in such cases. Stirling Council has finally ruled that the hedge can stay, despite claims it has knocked \u00a320,000 off the value of neighbour Audrey Alexander's house (pictured) The situation came to a head in 2008, when a 65ft section of hedge is said to have fallen and demolished a neighbour's garden shed . Audrey Alexander (pictured) also claims other neighbours have had to move their children from their bedrooms at night for fear of the falling branches . But her council has ruled that Mrs Robinson can keep the hedge, although it has to be cut to 20ft. Mrs Alexander said the ruling made \u2018no difference\u2019. The High Hedge Act 2013 allows neighbours to complain to the council when a hedgerow blocks sunlight from reaching their garden. Complainants and the hedge's owner are encouraged to resolve the issue between themselves and councils should only be called in to help as a last resort. Because the effect the hedge has is not always clear, disputes can last for years before an agreement can be reached. The local authority can either issue a high hedge notice, which orders owners to cut the hedge back, or decide not to act. The local authority cannot make any orders about the roots of the hedge. She added: \u2018The whole situation is appalling \u2013 the legislation is about giving people the right to sunlight. \u2018It\u2019s a disgrace and I feel extremely let down.\u2019 The neighbour refused to comment. Mrs Alexander\u2019s only option is the courts which she cannot afford to do. Over the years she had used the mediation services of Stirling District Council to try to resolve the issue.

+{"article": "Don McLean (pictured) is responsible American Pie, the lyrics of which have been puzzled over for decades . There has never been a popular song quite like it. For more than 40 years, its lyrics have been an enigma wrapped in an eight-and-a-half minute long rock 'n' roll puzzle. Argued over by generations of geeky fans, deciphered and re-deciphered by code-breaking rock nerds and considered to be poetic reflections on mid-20th century U.S. social history by even groovier academics, it's called American Pie. And this week its lyrics, hand-written in 1971 by a young folk singer called Don McLean, were sold at auction in New York for more than $1 million. That's a lot of money for 18 sheets of paper, albeit with a lost seventh verse. But, to be honest, I rather think that whoever bought them got a bargain. Because, in this age, when song lyrics have all but become meaningless, American Pie illustrates, in a series of images, metaphors and allusions, just what can be done within the frame of a melodically straightforward pop song. It's also a paean to education. McLean loves words, he says, 'almost as much as life'. That may be a slight overstatement, but it shows. Of course, like all poets, McLean didn't give us a key to the riddle of what his song was about when he released his multi-million-selling single. That would have spoiled it. 'It means I'll never have to work again,' he would joke about how much money the song had made him, leaving us to work out for ourselves what the 'sad news on the doorstep' was exactly, and why he 'couldn't take one more step' when he read it. That was the easy part, of course, for anyone of my and his generation who learned about the death in a plane crash in 1959 of one of the first great singer-songwriters of rock, Buddy Holly, when we read about it in the morning newspaper. As McLean sings, it was truly 'The day the music died'. I was on a Ribble bus going to school in Lancashire, peering over the shoulder of the man in front of me when I saw the headline. McLean, according to his song, anyway, was 14 and delivering papers in the rather smart New York suburb of New Rochelle where he grew up. It was a strange, wistful opening for a pop song, but then, as the beat kicked in, the lyrics began to portray the innocence of God-fearing, teenage high school in Fifties America. Listing pop song titles like the Book Of Love and A White Sports Coat and A Pink Carnation, and dances in the gym where the worst that could happen would be that the girl you fancied was dancing with some other guy, it painted a picture of what by 1971 was already a bygone time. Then, in between every verse, would come that cryptic chorus about driving his 'Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry'. For years, I thought that was something to do with the raised earthworks", "summary": "For more than 40 years, the lyrics of American Pie have been puzzled over .

However, like many web businesses, Yelp's revenue comes mainly from advertising and the businesses that buy ads are often also rated and reviewed on the site. Kaylie Milliken is the filmmaker behind Billion Dollar Bully, an ongoing documentary focused on Yelp's impact on small businesses. While she hasn't finished the documentary yet, Milliken tells Daily Mail Online her research so far has indicated Yelp's advertising structure appears to punish businesses that choose not to advertise on the site - a claim that company has vigorously denied. Scroll down for video . A racket? A documentary filmmaker is currently working on a film about Yelp, which she says will unveil shady advertising practices at the company. Above, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman in August 2014 . Pay to play: Billion Dollar Bully is still in production, but filmmaker Kaylie Milliken says she's already interviewed several small businesses who believe they've been targeted by the company for refusing to advertise . 'Businesses feel extorted,' Milliken told Daily Mail Online. 'After they decline advertising services from Yelp they feel like their good reviews get filtered out and their negative reviews come to the front.' And at hundreds of dollars a month for advertising, the price to work with Yelp is too big for many mom and pop businesses, Milliken says. Milliken first started investigating the company a year ago, when she went to see her doctor, who started talking about her negative experiences being listed on Yelp. 'The more she talked about it, the more my jaw just kind of dropped. I knew that they had aggressive salespeople - my husband is a small -business owner and he\u2019s complained before about how pushy they can be. But then she started telling me about receiving reviews, really negative reviews by clients, and she couldn\u2019t figure out who these clients were. 'She was really upset over it. And then she received a review where the client listed ailments about themsel[f] that she had never seen before, and this was the day after she had gotten off the phone with someone from Yelp,' Milliken told International Business Times. Tense: Last month, filmmaker Milliken (right) appeared on CNBC to speak about the movie. Yelp spokeswoman Shannon Eis (left) also appeared on the show to defend the company . Last month, Milliken released a trailer for her documentary in an attempt to fund the rest of the film's production. The day after the trailer was released, Yelp stock dipped four per cent. Following the stock drop, Yelp issued a statement to Business Insider, fiercely denying the claims in the trailer.

An NHS worker who conned a hospital out of more than half a million pounds earmarked for life-saving cancer drugs has been ordered to pay back just \u00a328,737. Stacey Tipler, 33, used her job to steal \u00a3642,000 from the Royal Marsden NHS Trust which she spent on designer shopping sprees, mortgage payments and her planned wedding. But she and partner Scott Chaplin, 34, who was the ringleader of the plot, were caught and both jailed last summer. At Southwark Crown Court today, Judge Anthony Leonard QC said Tipler had made \u00a354,852 from the scheme. At the proceeds of crime hearing, he ordered her to repay \u00a328,737.90 within six months or spend another 18 months in jail. She's already serving four years.

For several months after December 2011, she substituted account numbers of pharmaceutical firms who were due payment with the details of men recruited by her partner and the ringleader of the plot, 34-year-old Scott Chaplin. He was jailed for five-and-a-half years after being found guilty of the same offence and one count of conspiracy to money launder. Passing sentence in July last year, Judge Leonard said that while Chaplin from Carshalton in Surrey was the 'main instigator', Tipler was 'invaluable' to the scam, which he said could have been 'catastrophic' for the hospital's patients. He told her: 'It could only have been you who could have come up with the sophisticated and ingenious methods to ensure that your fraud went undetected. 'I am satisfied that it was not you who had the idea to defraud the hospital. It is my judgment that on your own this fraud would not have been committed. 'That said, once the idea was there, the position of trust you held made you invaluable in achieving the fraud. 'The skill which you showed in trying to ensure the fraud would go undiscovered was very great and very dishonest. It was a very clever but dishonest fraud.' The Judge accepted that the crime was hatched by Scott Chaplin, 34, right, but said the position of trust Tipler held was invaluable in the fraud.

Ever since her husband Bill was elected as US President for the first time in 1993, Hillary's hair has been the subject of serious scrutiny, be it as a result of her choice of scrunchie, the length of her locks, or the shade of her hair. Julia admitted that she is clueless as to why the presidential candidate's hairstyle has been the focus of such intense interest, adding: 'Hair, for some reason, is a really big deal.' And it seems that maintaining her own lengthy locks was certainly a big deal to Julia, who opted to wear a wig while filming the show, instead of chopping her own hair to mirror that of her character.

Musk introduced the Powerwall device at a press conference in California last night and said the technology could 'change the world'. The device, which could be in homes by the end of summer, will be able to store electricity at night when it is cheaper. Scroll down for video . Tesla has unveiled a $3,000 (\u00a31,980) home battery that can power an entire house for eight hours. Powerwall is three feet wide and four feet tall, weighs 220lbs, and can be installed on an outside or inside wall. The left images shows the 10kWh version while on the right is the 7kWh device . The technology powers up overnight when electricity rates are cheaper. Users can then switch the battery on during the day to use the home during the day. Powerwall can be used as back up power in the case of an emergency, or be used to hold power from renewable energy sources. The 'daily use' version has a capacity of 7 kilowatt-hours, which is around a quarter of a home's daily usage. The average U.S. home uses 10,908 kilowatt-hours of energy per year, or just short of 30 per day. Home battery packs could disrupt the utility market. In 2013, the Edison Electric Institute, the trade group for investor-owned electric companies, issued a report warning about disruption. 'One can imagine a day when battery storage technology or micro turbines could allow customers to be electric grid independent,' the report said. It would then discharge this cheap electricity during the day in quantities large enough to be useful to homes and businesses. The Powerwall is around three feet wide and four feet tall, weighs 220lbs, and can be installed either on an outside or inside wall of a home. The 'daily use' version has a capacity of 7 kilowatt-hours, which is around a quarter of a home's daily usage. Department of Energy figures state that the average U.S. home uses 10,908 kilowatt-hours of energy per year, or just short of 30 per day. According to that figure, a single, fully-charged Powerwall device would be able to meet a quarter of a home's energy needs on any given day. However, it would likely last far less time than eight hours during the mornings and evenings, when homes use the vast majority of their electricity. Musk said that the devices can be stacked together to provide more energy. The system would let homeowners with solar panels or other sources of renewable energy easily store their energy at home, rather than the current model whereby they sell power back to energy suppliers as it is produced, then buy it again during peak times. It could also let savvy consumers take advantage of power companies' lower rates during the night and use the cheaper, stored energy during peak periods.

Under Premier League regulations the 20-year-old is entitled to 'buy-out' the last year of his current contract which runs out in 2017. The effect of that would see the fee Liverpool could command for the forward dramatically reduce. Raheem Sterling has rejected a new \u00a3100,000-a-week contract with Liverpool and could leave this summer .

However, if Sterling effectively only had one year left on his contract that fee would be reduced considerably - perhaps even in half to \u00a325 million. With Sterling currently on a \u00a335,000 a week, it would cost the England international \u00a31.7m to buy out the last year of his contract.

Having beaten Denmark and Azerbaijan in their opening Elite Round qualifiers, the Young Lions had to beat France in Saint-Lo to advance to July's finals in Greece . But goals from Sehrou Guirassy and Gnaly Cornet put the hosts in command and a late response from Fulham's Patrick Roberts wasn't enough to rescue Sean O'Driscoll's team. Patrick Roberts was on target for England's Young Lions against France but it wasn't enough to qualify . Boosted by the return of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks from suspension, O'Driscoll reverted to the line-up that had beaten Denmark 3-2 late last week. A swirling wind in Normandy made playing conditions difficult, with any long balls ineffective, and consequently the first period saw very few chances. France managed to take one of theirs, however, just after the half-hour mark. Neal Maupay fired the ball into a crowded penalty area and Guirassy had the presence of mind to divert it past England goalkeeper Angus Gunn. Chelsea' Izzy Brown came close to equalising shortly before half-time but sent Demarai Gray's cross over the bar inside the six-yard box. Sean O'Driscoll's team have missed out on this summer's European Championship finals in Greece . France's second goal, five minutes into the second half, left England with a mountain to climb. Maupay again provided the assist, passing to Cornet to drill the ball in off the near post. The home side were almost over the finish line but there was a flicker of hope for England when Roberts halved the deficit from a Ruben Loftus-Cheek cross 11 minutes from time. But England required a further two goals because of their inferior goal difference in the group and there was to be no late drama as their Euro ambitions faded.

Many clubs will be looking to snap up a bargain free transfer and there are plenty to choose from. Here are best players who are currently set to leave their Premier League clubs on a free in June. Manchester City's tenacious, creative and versatile midfielder James Milner could leave as a free agent . Goalkeeper - Gerhard Tremmel (Swansea) At 36 years old, he is no spring chicken, but Tremmel could prove a useful acquisition for a newly-promoted side. Tremmel has played second fiddle to Michel Vorm and then Lukasz Fabianski during his four years at Swansea, but has performed well when called upon in the cup competitions and was in goal when the Swans beat Bradford in the Capital One Cup final two years ago. Swansea's Gerhard Tremmel, 36, is the understudy for Lukasz Fabianski but has done well in the cups . Right-back - Glen Johnson (Liverpool) England's first-choice right-back at the World Cup is still a regular for Liverpool, but he looks almost certain to end his six-year spell at Anfield this summer. Johnson, who has 54 England caps, is on a bumper deal at the Merseyside club and there seems to be little appetite to keep him on the books. England's first-choice right-back at the World Cup looks set to leave Liverpool after six years this summer . Centre-back - Kolo Toure (Liverpool) Another regular at Liverpool who is still to extend his contract. Toure kept Cristiano Ronaldo quiet with an excellent display when Real Madrid came to Anfield in November, but the 34-year-old Ivorian lacks consistency and has made some terrible gaffes in his time at the club. Inconsistency has been Kolo Toure's curse - the 34-year-old Ivorian has produced some howlers at Liverpool . Centre-back - Ron Vlaar (Aston Villa) Vlaar performed so well at the World Cup that his omission from the team of the tournament raised a few eyebrows, especially when Thiago Silva was selected ahead of him. Injury has restricted the Dutchman to 16 appearances for Villa this season. At 30, he has at least a couple of years left in him yet and will surely be courted by other top-flight teams. Holland's Ron Vlaar was a surprise omission from the team of the World Cup but could leave Aston Villa . Left-back - Luke Garbutt (Everton) Everton have been doing everything they can to tie this promising young defender down to a new deal, but he is yet to put pen to paper. The 21-year-old has played nine times for Everton this year and faces a big battle to displace Leighton Baines so he may fancy a challenge elsewhere. Everton want to lock the talented 21-year-old Luke Garbutt down for the long term but he's yet to commit .

The visit is expected to be dominated by discussions on energy, security and trade with the 15-member Caribbean Community, or Caricom.

A 14-year-old boy from Blackburn, Lancashire was arrested after he allegedly communicated with Australian men over a plan to use knives and swords to hack officers to death in Melbourne on Anzac Day, which takes place this Saturday. When the alleged plot was uncovered by Greater Manchester Police, they tipped off Australian authorities who swooped on the terror suspects, arresting five men over the weekend. Police are now working to shore up security for a string of Anzac Day events taking place in London, including services at the Cenotaph and Westminster Abbey to be attended by the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince William. Scroll down for video . Arrest: Police have arrested a 14-year-old on suspicion of helping to plot a terror attack in Australia (file photo) Greater Manchester Police said today that the 14-year-old was first arrested on April 2 after police intercepted communications between him and an Australian man, allegedly relating to a planned terrorist attack. He was then re-arrested on Saturday on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, and is currently being questioned by police in custody. Five men from Melbourne were arrested over the planned attack after British authorities passed on their findings to police in Australia, and on Saturday 18-year-old Sevdet Besim was charged with terror offences. It was claimed today that the Australian men planned to knock over a policeman with a car then stab him to death, in a chilling echo of the murder of British soldier Lee Rigby two years ago. A security official told ABC that the terrorists then planned steal the dead officer's gun and go on a shooting rampage which would not end until they were shot dead themselves. The alleged plot is similar to the killing of Fusilier Rigby, who was run over by Muslim converts Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale outside his barracks in Woolwich before they attacked him with knives and attempted to behead him.

The money, which amounts to a massive public subsidy for the companies involved, is paid to some 5.2million workers in the form of tax credits and other benefits. Campaigners say the figures shine a light on how companies making huge profits are relying on the taxpayer to ensure their staff have enough money to put food on the table. The total amount of benefits paid to staff at some companies exceeds what the firms pay in corporation tax, according to the study by Citizens UK. Critics have accused supermarkets of relying on benefits to ensure their staff earn enough to put food on the table without them having to raise wages . The charity is campaigning for the adoption of the Living Wage - \u00a39.15 an hour in London and \u00a37.85 for the rest of the UK - across both the public and private sector. It estimates this would reduce the need for in-work benefits by \u00a36.7bn a year, which would make a massive dent in the \u00a312billion reduction in welfare spending which the Conservatives say is necessary. The current minimum wage for those over 21 is \u00a36.50 an hour and will rise to \u00a36.70 in October, but this is well below what the Government accepts is needed by many people, particularly those with children, to make ends meet. The charity\u2019s report complains: \u2018The public subsidy enables profitable businesses to get away with paying low wages.\u2019 Its report says Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury\u2019s posted combined profits of \u00a33.9bn last year, but between them cost the taxpayer more than \u00a3750m in benefits paid to their staff. Tesco paid \u00a3519m in tax but received \u00a3364m in public subsidy for its 209,000 low-paid workers. Asda spent \u00a3150m in tax but its 120,000 low-paid workers received \u00a3221m in benefits. Morrisons\u2019 tax bill was \u00a362m while its 83,000 low-paid workers received \u00a3190m in benefits and Sainsbury\u2019s paid \u00a3180m in tax, almost exactly as much as its low-paid staff received from the public purse. Of all the profitable companies examined by the charity, Next had the highest average subsidy of \u00a32,087 per head given its high proportion of young employees who are typically paid just above the minimum wage of \u00a36.70 an hour.

Indeed, the almost prohibitive cost of college for some in the United States is often pointed to as a failing of Democratic politicians and their policies.

Indeed, her annual tuition, room and board fees come to $55,000 a year and if Dante was to attend Yale, that would come to in excess of $60,000.

Alexis Tsipras, Greece\u2019s prime minister, will meet Vladimir Putin (pictured earlier this week) in Moscow today, amid reports that the Kremlin will offer controversial loans and discounts on supplies of natural gas . Ahead of his visit, Mr Tsipras condemned the West\u2019s economic sanctions on Moscow as \u2018a road to nowhere\u2019. But Martin Schulz, the president of the European Parliament, has already warned it would be \u2018unacceptable\u2019 if Mr Tsipras \u2018jeopardised Europe\u2019s common policy on Russia\u2019 in return for Kremlin aid. Kommersant newspaper quoted an anonymous Russian government source last night saying that lines of credit were being offered. \u2018We\u2019re ready to consider the question of providing Greece discounts on gas: the price for it is tied to the cost of oil which has significantly fallen in recent months,\u2019 the source said. \u2018We are also ready to discuss the possibility of granting Greece new loans. But here we, in turn, are interested in reciprocal moves \u2013 in particular, in Russia receiving particular assets in Greece.\u2019 Yesterday Greece demanded more than \u00a3200billion in compensation from Germany for Nazi atrocities during the Second World War. The government unveiled its final calculation for the war reparations stemming from occupation by the Third Reich. The radical left Syriza party says Germany owes Greece nearly 279billion euros, or \u00a3204billion to compensate it for looting and war crimes. The German government says the issue was resolved legally years ago. Greece\u2019s defence minister said it had obtained \u2018stunning evidence\u2019 to support its massive claims for reparations. Panos Kammenos said the country had obtained records held by the US military that review the extent of damage to private and public property during the Nazi occupation. Ahead of his meeting with Putin, Mr Tsipras (pictured) condemned the West\u2019s economic sanctions on Moscow as \u2018a road to nowhere\u2019. Greece is obliged to pay 450million euros of its debt in a matter of days . The demand comes just days before Greece is obliged to pay 450million euros of its debt to the International Monetary Fund. Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister, has said the country \u2018intends to meet all obligations to all its creditors, ad infinitum\u2019. Greece suffered a brutal occupation at the hands Adolf Hitler\u2019s forces in 1941. More than 40,000 people are believed to have starved to death in Athens alone. Yesterday a parliamentary committee established by Mr Tsipras for the first time put an official number on the reparations claim. It includes the cost of a 10billion euro forced Nazi loan made by the Bank of Greece and the return of archaeological treasures.", "summary": "Alexis Tsipras, Greece\u2019s prime minister, will meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow .

Lorraine Valentine suffers from the rare disease erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) which causes her skin to burn and become unbearable itchy when she is exposed to sunlight or UV light. A holiday abroad left the 42-year-old in hospital for six days, as the heat caused her entire body to swell. Her sun allergy means she has to keep herself completely covered, as even a small dose of sun on her skin leaves her in pain. In summer, everyday tasks like picking her children up from school or going to buy some milk become extremely difficult. Lorraine Valentine, 42, calls herself the 'real life vampire' as she has a rare medical condition meaning she is allergic to the sun . Miss Valentine suffers from erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) which causes her skin to burn and become unbearable itchy when she is exposed to sunlight . Now, as temperatures in the UK are set to soar, she is desperate for a drug that can help her. Miss Valentine, of Bournemouth, said: 'It's always worst when the sun first comes out because I have no time to adjust. 'I have to pull the curtains closed and have to have a fan on, as any heat is painful.' She was first diagnosed with EPP, a rare blood condition which attacks the liver, when she was nine. The condition \u2013 which is incurable - is caused by a build-up of a chemical called protoporphyrin in the blood. As blood passes through the skin, the protoporphyrin absorbs the energy from sunlight and this sets off a chemical reaction that can slightly damage surrounding tissues. The nerve endings in the skin interpret this as itching or burning pain, and it can also cause the tissues to swell up. For Miss Valentine, even tasks like going to the supermarket are painful, as UV light reflects up from the floor, burning her skin. EPP occurs when there is a build-up of a chemical called protoporphyrin in the blood. The skin is more sensitive to longer ultraviolet wavelengths (UVA) and to visible light. It is caused by a shortage of an enzyme in the body that normally converts the protoporphyrin into a substance called haem. As a result of this enzyme deficiency, protoporphyrin levels build up in the blood.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino would prefer Kane to rest at the end of his first full campaign rather than compete in the tournament in the Czech Republic. Spurs and England have been in talks for some time without reaching an agreement. Tottenham forward Harry Kane has been in superb form this season, netting 30 goals for the club so far .

'If you're a young English boy coming through the system you should want to play for England.' It was part of a St George's Day message from the FA chairman designed to strengthen the bond between England's patron saint and its football team. 'England has the best football team in the British Isles and if England as a football team does well then England is a united country,' Dyke said. 'Football plays a big part in England and should play a big part in St George's Day.' Kane, with 30 goals for Spurs this season and one on his England debut last month, is due to join Tottenham's end-of-season trip Malaysia and Australia. He is scheduled to return at the start of June and, if he is part of Gareth Southgate's U21 squad, he could be away on international duty until the start of July, after which he will need a break and would miss the start of Pochettino's pre-season plans.

He plans to install sex swings, bondage rooms and dungeons and have rooms of differing sizes to cater for couples and multiple groups. Jon Huxley, standing outside his hotel Westward Ho! in Folkestone, Kent, is looking at 'developing' his premises to cater for swingers .

According to a new study, while just over half of women worry about the long term damage of beauty treatments, nearly a fifth would still pursue a treatment to get the right look - even it it proved hazardous to their health. Seven per cent, meanwhile, have actually had allergic reactions. The survey, conducted by beauty research organization LQS and Associates, looked at the lengths 1,000 American women go to in order to enhance their appearances or copy a celebrity, and the potentially disastrous consequences they might face in doing so, including hair loss, skin swelling, and overly painful procedures. The cost of beauty: Women often don't realize the dangers of salon treatments before sitting in the styling chair . Respondents cited the hairstyles of actresses Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock, as well as signer Jennifer Lopez, as celebrity favorites, with 53 per cent also noting that they get skin, beauty, and hair ideas from pictures and videos of famous personalities. But LQS and Associates warns against attempts to emulate these looks on a regular basis. A-listers like Beyonce, Paris Hilton, and Selena Gomez all sport weaves and extensions, but their beauty regimen is not always adaptable to the average person. 'Many of those glamorous looks can do more harm than good, leading to long term problems,' said LaQue Gushon-Harris, president of LQS and Associates. 'Unfortunately, most women are not even aware of the repercussions.' Mr Gushon-Harris explained that women who get weaves and extensions often deal with hair loss from traction alopecia, the gradual recession of the hairline due to tight hairstyles that pull at hair follicles over time. The survey also revealed that the top five beauty and cosmetic treatments favored by women in the US include manicures, pedicures, hair coloring, teeth whitening, and perms. However, frequently demonized treatments like tanning beds and facials also make the top 10.

'He is not coming to this house,' Cheryl Silvonek texted to her daughter, who had taken the SAT college entrance exam that morning, according to a police affidavit. The eighth-grader sent her mother a text in response begging her to let them go. 'Mom, if I can't go I'm going to have a mental breakdown,' she said, according to the affidavit.

His appeal is expected to be heard by a separate FA panel next month and Oyston still faces a ban from football activities. Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston has decided to contest his FA charge for allegedly abusive text messages . Oyston - who has been the constant target of fan protests over the course of the Seasiders\u2019 worst season for decades - is also looking at a hefty fine and mandatory four-hour FA education course. The shocking text messages, seen by Sportsmail, emerged just before Christmas when he sent a series of vitriolic volleys to fan Stephen Smith, who he told to 'enjoy the rest of your special needs day out'. Oyston later apologised for his part in the exchange, and it is understood his denial boils down to a reasonable expectation of privacy. The development comes just days after pensioner Frank Knight, a lifelong fan, was ordered to pay \u00a320,000 in damages for alleged defamatory remarks made on his Facebook page. The footballing world rallied around Knight, with a kickstarter fund amassing the thousands he needed to pay. On announcing Oyston\u2019s denial, an FA statement read: \u2018It is alleged that the misconduct constituted five breaches of FA rules, and that during the text message exchange, Mr Oyston used abusive and/or insulting words towards a supporter of Blackpool FC. \u2018It is further alleged that each of these five breaches of FA Rule E3(1) is an \u2018Aggravated Breach\u2019 as defined in Rule E3(2), as each included a reference to disability. \u2018Mr Oyston has denied the charge.\u2019 It is not the only example of foul-mouthed exchanges to have happened in a bitter campaign.

Military leaders in Norway are nervous about its powerful neighbour's presence on its 'strategically important' coastline following a spike in tensions between Russia and NATO nations. Some experts have criticised the shutting down of Olavsvern Naval Base - a huge complex buried in mountainous terrain near the town of Tromsoe - which has been closed since 2009. But fears have once again peaked after three Russian ships spent the entire winter docked deep within the mountain hideaway which was once a heavily guarded military facility. Show of strength: Norway's military leaders are growing concerned after three Russian warships spent the winter docked inside a closed naval base (file photo) deep inside the country's mountainous terrain .

Force: And late last year, the Russian navy anti-submarine ship Severomorsk (file photo) and three other Russian ships had to be escorted out of the British channel . It was originally shut because the country's leaders thought the threat from Moscow was reduced, despite its massive Northern Fleet which is base in the nearby Kola Peninsula. Norway's former vice admiral said shutting down the base was 'pure madness' while other critics say their submarines now have to travel hundreds of extra miles to protect the region. This is far from the first time Russia has flexed its military muscles in other countries' territory. In February, a passenger plane had to be diverted to avoid two Russian bombers that flew through Irish-controlled airspace without warning. The disruption on February 18 was thought to have occurred during the same incident in which British RAF Typhoon fighters were scrambled to escort the Russian vessels. That move was perceived as a show of strength by Russian President Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine conflict after Prime Minister David Cameron accused him of challenging the 'territorial integrity' of Kiev.

But Mr Cameron is still trailing Ed Miliband's Labour Party nationally, with just 14 days to go until polling day. Get-up: David Cameron stepped off the sleeper train at Penzance this morning wearing jeans, smart shoes and a navy jacket . Journey: The Prime Minister travelled for eight hours from Paddington station to reach Cornwall . Tired out: The Tory leader did not appear to have enjoyed a good night's sleep on the train and was wearing an unusual combination of solely dark colours . A YouGov poll published this morning put Labour on 34 per cent - one point ahead of the Tories. The Lib Dems trail on 7 per cent with Ukip in third on 14 per cent. Mr Cameron said in an interview this week that he 'always manages to portray a calm smoothness' - however, he looked anything but smooth at Penzance station. The Prime Minister seemed as if he had had trouble sleeping on the eight-hour journey from London's Paddington station. His hair was unkempt and he was wearing an unusual combination of jeans with shiny loafers which might be considered more appropriate for a smart business suit. Destination: He apparently chose the sleeper to avoid taking time out of his schedule to travel . Outfit: Mr Cameron wore a navy jacket, dark blue shirt, jeans and smart black shoes - as well as a red box . Inspiration? Mr Cameron may have been trying to channel the style sense of US President Barack Obama . Mr Cameron sported a navy jacket with a dark blue polo shirt, and set off his outfit with the ultimate status symbol - a red box holding ministerial papers, which only a few dozen people are entitled to carry. While the jacket may have looked inoffensive, the Tory leader may have been making a political statement in support of the Union, as it appears to have been made by Scottish firm Lyle & Scott. Similar models retail online for around \u00a3125. Speaking at a factory later, he insisted that he had in fact slept very well - because his wife Samantha was not there to complain about him talking in his sleep. Mr Cameron said: 'It was very comfortable, very nice it was too, to have a night without the children waking me up or Mrs Cameron nudging me in the ribs and telling me to shut up for talking in my sleep.' In an interview with the Spectator published yesterday, Mr Cameron was asked why he has a reputation for lacking passion while", "summary": "The Prime Minister travelled from London to Penzance on the sleeper train . He looked stressed and exhausted as he got off the train this morning . Cameron was sporting jeans with smart black shoes and a navy jacket . Tories are keen to drive the Lib Dems out of the South-West at the Election . Labour are still ahead in the polls nationally, with 34% set to back the party .

Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus recalled the years of rapes, torture and psychological games at the hands of Ariel Castro, a man who lived close to their homes in Ohio, and managed to lure them into his house with trust because his daughters were the girls' friends. The brave survivors have written a book, Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland, which will be released on April 27. In an excerpt, published in People magazine this week, Amanda and Gina, revealed how they found the strength to survive imprisonment. Scroll down for video . Amanda Berry, pictured following her escape from Ariel Castro's 'house of horrors' with her sister (left) and daughter (right) in 2013. The survivor has described in her new memoir, how her daughter gave her the strength to go on during the harrowing ten-year ordeal . Amanda Berry, 29, revealed in her first-person memoir about her abduction and imprisonment by Ariel Castro, that she was left confused by conflicted feelings towards him when he was kind to their daughter, whom she gave birth in captivity after being raped . Gina DeJesus, 25, also shared the details of her horrifying ordeal in a new memoir with Amanda Berry, being published later this week . Amanda recalled how she had learned from TV news that her mother died of a heart attack, aged 43, in March 2006, while she was 'chained like a dog' in Castro's home. At this point, the teen had been missing for three years. Castro lured her into his home on April 21, 2003, on a promise to see his daughter, her acquaintance. He barricaded the 16-year-old in a room, told her to pull down her pants and raped her. She was then chained in the basement and repeatedly abused. Four days after she was captured, Castro turned on the news and saw her mother pleading for her safe return. She said that a silent Castro watched Louwana Miller beg for her daughter to come home. 'He has an odd look on his face, and then I realize: He's proud,' Amanda wrote about her monstrous captor. She also described in the People interview how Castro was much stronger than he looked, packing muscle beneath his rotund figure. 'To be around him was scary,' Amanda recalled.'He had these cold black eyes. We were afraid we were going to die.' The Cleveland 'house of horrors' survivors have written a book, being published on April 27 . Gina DeJesus was abducted using a similar ploy by Castro a year later. She described her abductor to People as 'always prepared'. It later emerged that Michelle Knight, now 34, had been imprisoned in a separate bedroom since August 2002. A month after learning that her mother, Louwana Miller, had died, Amanda, realized she was pregnant by Castro in April 2006. Although initially elated, she worried how Castro would react.

Journalist Jonathan Maitland said while there had been some shock at the drama, An Audience with Jimmy Savile, the majority of critics are eager to know when they will be able to see it. It will open in London in June, less than three years since the late comedian's depraved behaviour was exposed in a television documentary. Scroll down for video . The author of a play which sees impressionist Alistair McGowan portray Jimmy Savile has said the public is ready for it to be shown . The revelation that Savile had abused dozens of children and young women in hospitals and schools throughout the 70s and 80s sparked an enormous Scotland Yard probe into other alleged abuse. Although some lines of inquiry are still ongoing, Maitland claims now is an appropriate time to thrust the subject into the arts. In an interview with The Guardian he said: 'It has changed everything; it has changed the way we look at abuse, it has changed the way we prosecute it, it has changed attitudes towards it, the way we treat the survivors of it. 'What person would not want to explore what kicked it off?' Drawing on interview transcripts and statements provided to the police by some of Savile's many victims, the play's central role has been given to impressionist Alistair McGowan. Most often recognised for his comedic performances, Maitland said his leading actor is also 'terrific' at embodying the 'dark, nasty' elements of the story. In his popular BBC series, The Big Impression, McGowan included Savile in a bizarre comedy sketch in which he portrayed American rapper Eminem. McGowan previously portrayed the comedian in his popular series The Big Impression. In a sketch he responds to a teenage Eminem's repeated requests to appear on Jim'll Fix It . Twitter users rejected Maitland's claim the public was 'ready' for the play, describing the subject choice as 'unbelievable' Dressed in a blue and white tracksuit similar to those worn by Savile, McGowan writes to the Jim'll Fix It host to ask whether he could appear on the programme with his mother to whom he is violent. Later he impersonates Savile himself, responding: 'It would be hard to let you hurt your mum on the TV, especially at tea time.' Sinisterly, he then tells the fictional teenage Eminem that the pair could go to Alton Towers 'in a few hours' before giggling and licking his lips. Author Jonathan Maitland said people were 'ready' for the play to be shown less than three years after the abuse was exposed . Before opening to the public the play will hear findings of the Dame Janet Smith's inquiry into abuse at the BBC. While Maitland said he will be happy to adjust any contentious parts to its liking, he is confident the public, and Savile's victims, will be prepared for the drama.

But it is unknown for certain what the rectangular island and its labyrinthine ruins, located in a lake in deepest Siberia, was actually used for when it was built 1,300 years ago. Historians and scientists are divided, but some experts believe the isolated area may have been built to attract people instead imprisoning them, and suggest it was a summer palace, monastery, or an astronomical observatory. The mysterious island, Por-Bajin, was found in the centre of a remote lake high in the mountains of southern Siberia . A reconstruction sought to show what the island could have looked like before it was ruined . The fortress is located about 3,800km from Moscow near the Mongolian border . The plot thickens as the way it was built, along with the construction materials use, hint at Chinese architectural tradition . The name Por-Bajin translates as 'clay house' in the Tuvan language, and the island sits between the Sayan and Altai ranges, about 3,800km from Moscow near the Mongolian border. The location was first discovered in 1891, and the purpose of island has still not been explained over a century later. More in-depth research took place in 2007 with archaeologists discovering clay tablets of human feet, faded coloured drawings on the plaster of the walls, giant gates and fragments of burnt wood. Experts say the island was built during the period of the Uighur Khaganate (744-840 AD) but it is not clear what their motive would be for constructing a fortress for in such a solitary place \u2013 as it is far from big settlements and trade routes. Archaeologists conducted limited and inconclusive excavations at the site in the 1950s and 1960s . The ruined structures have led experts to believe the island was used as a fortress or prison . The island has baffled experts for over a hundred years who say it could have been anything from a prison, to a palace or monastry . The plot thickens as the way it was built, along with the construction materials use, hint at Chinese architectural tradition. Scientists were able to use laser mapping to create a 3D image of what the 3.5 hectare plot could have been used for. Although it is said to be around 1,300 years old, many walls were intact and well preserved with a main structure in the inner courtyard being separated into two parts, covered by a tiled roof walkway supported by 36 wooden columns on stone bases.

Residents confused over who had been dumping bags full of rubbish in an alley next to their street were stunned when CCTV revealed a binman . Rather than load the bags into his lorry, the bin man was filmed lifting them out of dustbins along Park Road in Glodwick before tossing them down an alley.

Chelsea would look to loan Muto to partner club Vitesse Arnhem next season but the 22-year-old is keen to join a club where he will play regularly and realise his potential. FC Tokyo forward Yoshinori Muto has a shot against Shonan Bellmare during a J-League clash . Chelsea have made an offer for Muto according to FC Tokyo president Naoki Ogane . Asked about a potential switch to London this summer after scoring the winner against Shonan Bellmare last week, Muto said: 'I want to think about it carefully. 'Where can I go to develop? A team that suits me, where I can play and develop. I'm thinking about that, and for now I just want to take my time and think it through.' Real Zaragoza boss Ranko Popovic gave Muto his debut for FC Tokyo in July 2013 and he believes the pacey forward could be a big hit at Stamford Bridge. Speaking to Bleacher Report, Popovic said: 'His potential was amazing, I didn't see for a long time such an intelligent player like Muto. He's a different guy, he's not such a usual player.

The pet has attacked several terrified postmen but Miss Sandiford says Royal Mail are victimising Winston and claims her family are being 'taunted all the time' by people in the area. Angry neighbours have even left notes on her front door saying 'keep your devil dog away', she says. One postman on his rounds reported Winston bounded 100 yards up the street towards him before clamping his powerful teeth around his mailbag.

The young American coped so adeptly he gave up just one shot of his five stroke halfway lead and will partner Rose in the final round armed with a useful advantage. But there was just enough vulnerability shown in his finish to offer encouragement not only to Rose but Masters specialist Phil Mickelson, who will start five behind. Spieth is the third player his age to take a healthy lead into the final round. It worked out perfectly for Tiger Woods in 1997 but not so well for Rory McIlroy in 2011, who collapsed under the pressure over the final nine holes. \u2018I think Jordan will cope better than I did because he was in the final group last year,\u2019 said McIlroy. \u2018I certainly expect him to cope a lot better than I did.\u2019 Jordan Spieth carded a double bogey on the 17th but still set a new 54-hole scoring record at the Masters . At 16 under par, Spieth broke the record shared by Ray Floyd and Tiger Woods by a single shot .

If he wins, he will go to number two in the world and the rivalry with Rory that might dominate golf for the next decade will have begun.

But while Rose finished off with a staggering fifth birdie in his last six holes, Spieth was running up his first double bogey of the tournament at the 17th. And at the last there was a horrible fanned approach that threatened to trim the lead to just three, before Spieth conjured up a remarkable up and down to give him momentum heading into what promises to be another momentous Masters Sunday. Plucky journeyman Charley Hoffman lies fourth while Woods and McIlroy both shot 68 to be tied fifth and will play together on Sunday. But at ten shots off the pace they are surely too far behind.

This game was a very tough game and we need to try to win the most points possible in the next seven games. 'The way Burnley play it is difficult, because always there is long balls into the box. They are a very aggressive team and run a lot. It is difficult to find space to play. 'We played better in the second half and we made some chances but it was not enough to score. Three weeks ago Manchester City lost here. It is not an excuse but it is a very, very difficult team.'

He said: 'I think we edged the game, but there was not a lot in it. 'We kept the tempo high and kept pressing high.

Arsene Wenger had been talking about how it was easier to set up a team designed primarily to defend, just as Brendan Rodgers had ventured after Chelsea\u2019s victory at Liverpool, last year. \u2018It\u2019s not easy, not easy,\u2019 said Mourinho. \u2018If it was easy, you wouldn\u2019t lose 3-1 at home to Monaco.

Arsenal have been brilliant since the turn of the year, but they were downright awful at home to Monaco. They conceded three and they crashed out of the Champions League. It was a blemish to support the theory that Arsenal are fine until the pressure is on.

It is a great feeling to deal with the difficult moment in a strategic way. When you are lost at sea and you have no boat, you must survive.

The list of don'ts runs to several dozen items. More than 20 other states have such lists. But, the one included by the Republican-dominated Kansas Legislature in a bill that GOP Gov. Sam Brownback planned to sign Thursday appears to be the most exhaustive, according to state Department for Children and Families officials. The taxpayer-funded Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, currently provides cash payments of up to $497 per month for a family of four. To qualify that family must have an annual household income below $31,525 - before taxes - and assets valued at less than $2,000. Cutting back: In this April 13 photo, Kansas Republican Gov. Sam Brownback makes a point during an interview in his office in the Statehouse in Topeka, Kansas . The new restrictions, regarding Kansas applicants, have inspired national criticism and mockery from The Daily Show. Host Jon Stewart suggested that in accepting federal funds, Kansas should be forced to give up items like roads 'paved with luxurious asphalt.' 'The list has attracted attention because it feels mean-spirited,' said Shannon Cotsoradis, president and CEO of the advocacy group Kansas Action for Children. 'It really seems to make a statement about how we feel about the poor.' It is part of a broader welfare law taking effect in July that Brownback and his allies say is aimed at moving poor families from social services into jobs. In Kansas, here\u2019s a list of what would be forbidden to those using cash assisted funds: . 'We want to get people off of public assistance and into private-sector employment, and we've had a lot of success with that,' Brownback during an interview this week with The Associated Press. A 2012 federal law requires states to prevent benefit-card use at liquor stores, gambling establishments or adult-entertainment businesses. At least 23 states have their own restrictions on how cards can be used, mostly for alcohol, tobacco, gambling and adult-oriented businesses, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A few states - not Kansas - prohibit buying guns, according to the NCSL, and a few ban tattoos or body piercings. Massachusetts prohibits spending on jewelry, bail bonds, or 'vacation services.' A 2014 Louisiana law bars card use on cruise ships, which is also on the Kansas list. Kansas Department for Children and Families officials said that it's difficult to track how often cash assistance is used for items on the state's new list because recipients can use their benefits cards to obtain cash. The law will limit ATM withdrawals of cash assistance to $25 a day. The department said it reclaimed $199,000 in cash assistance from 81 fraud cases from July through February, but said most involved questions about eligibility. The state provided $14 million in cash assistance during the same period. A 2014 federal report said a check of eight states' data showed transactions with benefit cards at liquor stores, casinos or strip", "summary": "The taxpayer-funded Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, currently provides payments of up to $497 per month for a family of four .

The warning by British Transport Police (BTP) Chief Constable Paul Crowther came ahead of a summit organised to determine the scale of the problem, which has come under scrutiny in recent months following a number of high-profile incidents. The latest figures for this football season show that BTP has recorded 630 football-related incidents so far, including a number with a racial element. Five Chelsea fans were caught on film directing racist abuse towards a black passenger in France . Fans appeared to be chanting on the Paris Metro train: 'We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it' Mr Crowther said: 'Sadly this type of casual thuggery is occurring just about on a weekly basis on our trains, with a sizeable minority who are behaving in a threatening, loud and sometimes racist way to the great terror of people who are using the system to get about and do their day-to-day business.' He said the impact on ordinary passengers is 'unacceptable', adding: 'We are in danger of saying those types of experiences are OK. 'Is that the sort of society we really want? I don't think it is. We haven't solved this type of behaviour and we need to work together to change it. 'We are saying 'Why do people think this is acceptable on trains?' You don't see this sort of behaviour on an aeroplane, for example.' Police believe the scale of football-related crime on the transport network may be higher than the figures show. Mr Crowther said: 'We think it is under-reported and we think that might be because people are intimidated or frightened.' Supporters have come under scrutiny (none of the fans pictured are necessarily referred to in the story) He said the problem was a 'very complex issue' and required a cultural change. 'What I am not looking for is more of the same,' he said. 'I don't think it is an issue we can arrest our way out of.'

+{"article": "Raheem Sterling and Theo Walcott will likely go head-to-head at the Emirates on Saturday. They are at starkly different places in their careers with 26-year-old Walcott perhaps acting as a cautionary tale for Sterling, 20, that early promise can sometimes give way to unfulfilled potential. Both are in the process of negotiating contracts with their respective clubs. Brendan Rodgers has spoken in the past of his admiration for Walcott while Wenger has made no secret he is a fan of Sterling. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that the clubs could do a direct swap. Although Wenger would have to deviate from his usually cautious financial approach to win the race to sign Sterling while Rodgers would be hard pushed to sell Walcott as a worthy replacement for Sterling. Here Sportsmail looks at the merits of the two English wingers. Theo Walcott and Raheem Sterling, England's leading wingers, are both in contract negotians with their clubs . Sterling has been one of Liverpool's best players this season, but his contract dispute has caused problems . THIS SEASON SO FAR . Sterling: He has been one of Liverpool\u2019s best players throughout the season, making 28 Premier League appearances and scoring six top-flight goals while boasting an impressive 81% pass completion rate. He has as struggled to make an impact since being used as a wing-back. Walcott: There\u2019s not a lot to go on for Walcott, who has played just 13 games in all competitions, struggling for game time after returning from a long-term layoff for a knee injury. Arsenal do seem to perform slightly better when Walcott features, winning 62.50% of their Premier League games when he is in the team, compared to 59.1% without him. TEAM PLAYER? Sterling: While Sterling\u2019s contract negotiations might be viewed as a distraction to the team he has been an unselfish and determined player during his career so far, providing seven assists in the Premier League this season. He has linked up well with Daniel Sturridge before the striker was injured and happily played second fiddle to Luis Suarez last season when Brendan Rodgers built his team around the Uruguayan. Walcott: Is always encouraging to younger players and a good influence to have in the dressing room but he has failed to provide one assist this season and rarely contributes to defensive duties. Walcott looked out of sorts for England this week, and has not yet provided an assist this season . Sterling turns away from Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs when the two clubs met earlier this season . WOW FACTOR . Sterling: Sterling is undoubtedly exciting, can provoke disbelief with his mazy runs and deceptive strength for someone so slight. But his biggest strength is his pace. His top speed this season of 21.77 mph puts him sixth in the Premier League rankings. The problem could lie in the fact he may not be as good as he thinks he is. Walcott: The off-the-mark pace and an eye for the unconventional yet effective pass which made Walcott a sensation as a 16-year-old playing for Southampton", "summary": "Arsene Wenger is a great admirer of Raheem Sterling, while both he and Theo Walcott are struggling to negotiate new deals . Sterling has scored more goals and provided more assists this season . Walcott is an example of unrealised potential that Sterling must avoid ."}

Scroll down for video . The two French tourists charged with setting fire to a quokka have been released from jail after spending a week behind bars .

A grieving daughter has come up with an unusual way to keep the memory of loved ones alive - by bottling their scent. Seven years ago, Katia Apalategui's mother coped with losing her husband by holding on to his pillowcase which his smell clung to. This inspired the 52-year-old French insurance saleswoman to think of a more permanent way to capture a person's individual scent in a bid to help others in mourning. The strong link between smell and memory is the reason her product will provide 'olfactory comfort' to customers, she says. 'We are going through funeral homes to offer families a small box containing a vial of the departed's odour that we would have extracted from a piece of material provided by them,' she said. But the 'made-to-measure' perfumes will be rather costly and be priced at around 560 euros (\u00a3400). To help develop her idea, she teamed up with the Havre university in France, where researchers have developed a technique to reproduce the human smell. The university's Geraldine Savary explained the process involved taking a person's clothes and extracting the odour - a few hundred characteristic molecules - which is then made into a bottle of perfume in four days. She said: 'There was a perfect synergy between what she wanted to do and what our researchers are doing so we decided to get involved. 'There is a very strong link between memory and smell which is similar to that between the memories we have from looking at old photos, videos and other things.

Killer pilot Andreas Lubitz researched suicide methods and cockpit door security before crashing his Germanwings plane into the French Alps, it emerged last night. German prosecutors said an examination of a tablet computer found at his apartment revealed he had recently used internet search terms such as cockpit doors and their security, and suicide methods. The revelations came hours after it was reported that Lubitz told doctors he was on sick leave rather than flying. It also emerged that the 27-year-old was prescribed an anti-anxiety drug so strong doctors have to warn patients of the increased risk of suicide. People who use Lorazapam are advised not to drive a car, let alone fly a commercial jetliner. Medical experts say it can also increase the risk of self-harm at the start of treatment.

He was apparently more stable in recent years, but in the past few weeks had reportedly seen doctors three times for depression and an eye doctor over fears he was losing his sight. Bild said it discovered that he was prescribed drugs, including the sedative Lorazepam, to combat to range of disorders.

The Prime Minister shared a joke with six-year-old Lucy at the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Primary School near Bolton . The Prime Minister appeared completely taken with the youngster who showed no signs of being fazed by his attendance. Mr Cameron had planned to use the classroom visit to unveil his plan, which he said was intended to inject 'more rigour and zero tolerance of failure and mediocrity' in schools. The resit plan would mean 100,000 pupils taking a new test in English and maths during their first year after leaving primary school. The proposal would be implemented next year and is aimed at making sure that pupils have not already fallen too far behind at the beginning of secondary school. Pupils who did not get good grades in the Sats tests taken by 11-year-olds in primary school would have to retake a test during their first year after moving up to secondary school. In last year's tests, 79 per cent of pupils achieved the expected grades in reading, writing and maths. The Tories claim that, too often, pupils who have slipped behind by this stage never catch up. Among those who fail to make the grade at the age of 11, they say only 7% go on to get five good GCSEs, including English and maths. Children would be forced to retake a test in maths and English, marked by teachers rather than external examiners. There could be up to two retakes, in the spring or summer terms, and the number of pupils who had failed the retakes would be published as part of the league table data.

+{"article": "An American company claims to have invented a 'teabag' that can turn an ordinary pint of lager into a craft beer the same way hot water is turned into brew . The Hop Theory 'beer-bag' contains a blend of hops, fruit peels and natural spices, and promises to turn light beer into craft after just two minutes of steeping. However, despite nearly reaching its crowd-funding target, the project has been criticised by professional breweries as being misleading about what constitutes as 'craft beer'. Scroll down for video . Transformation: The Hop Theory sachets promises to turn lager into craft beer in just two minutes . Hop Theory, based in Maryland, is nearing its $25,000 target on crowd-funding site Kickstarter to produce its first blend, claiming it will turn lager into 'craft beer' in just two to four minutes. Bobby Gattuso, who founded the company as a biology student in 2013, hopes to revolutionise beer drinking. 'Craft beer excels in taste but it's expensive. Light beer is cost effective and low in calories but lacks flavour, and with Hop Theory, an average beer becomes craft.' Emily Williamson of independent brewery Cheddar Ales in Somerset, England, is sceptical to the idea of 'tea bag' beer. 'Firstly, adding hops, flavouring herbs, peels during the brewing process is about stabilizing those ingredients to make them safe for consumption. 'Secondly, and most importantly, the boiling phase is when your wort (the unfermented liquid extracted from the mashing process) concentrates, and flavours, aroma and balance are carefully adjusted to create the complexity people of our beer drinking generation are after.' New drink: After a short infusion of two minutes, the blend of hops, dried fruit and spices will have changed the taste of a lighter lager into that on par with a craft beer . New ideas: The Relativity blend contains dried and ground orange peel, Cascade hops and ground coriander seeds, and is set to hit the market this summer . Ms Williamson adds that the claim that the Hop Theory sachets can make a lager taste like a craft beer could also 'mislead people'. 'To add a sachet to a pre-balanced, pre-made beer will only add a glimmer of the flavours available in traditionally made beers. 'For example our latest brew, Firewitch Spicy Farmhouse Saison, has had citrus peel in it for over two weeks, which really allows for a multitude of flavours to release into the brew. 'So, without tasting the product, I can only guess that it won't add anywhere near the depth of flavour that the actual brewing process can achieve as it's not inherent to the structure.' Hannah Rhodes, founder of Hiver beers, says: 'Good quality beer is more expensive because avoiding shortcuts and brewing naturally takes time, normally 3 to 6 times longer than that of it's mainstream competitors.' 'Here at Hiver, the honeys we source are fermented at the start of the process along with the cereals, and by not adding honey for flavouring at the end, you get a lovely crisp and refreshing finish and not something that's sweet", "summary": "Maryland start-up promises to turn lager into craft beer with 'tea bag' Infusion sachet contains a blend of hops, fruit peels and natural spices .

A new jab against malaria could prevent millions of cases, scientists claim. Researchers say the vaccine, which has just completed the final stages of testing, could make a \u2018substantial contribution\u2019 to controlling the disease. Drug firm GlaxoSmithKline has applied for a licence from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the RTS,S vaccine. The news is significant because RTS,S is the first malaria vaccine to reach advanced trials. Tests were carried out on 15,500 toddlers and babies in sub-Saharan Africa. Among those who had three doses of RTS,S and a booster shot, the number of clinical cases of malaria \u2013 those confirmed by a doctor \u2013 was reduced by 36 per cent after four years. But the protection waned over time, boosters worked less well than the initial dose and the vaccine was not as effective in younger children, a report in The Lancet journal says. Scientists have worked on the vaccine for more than 20 years \u2013 at a cost of more than \u00a3330million, but experts say there is a long way to go. There is no licensed vaccine against malaria anywhere in the world and researchers say they are hopeful the results will be sufficient for RTS,S to gain a licence from the EMA.The World Health Organisation could then recommend its use by October this year. In the trials, an average of 1,363 cases of clinical malaria were prevented over four years for every 1,000 children vaccinated, and 1,774 cases in those who also received a booster. Over three years, an average 558 cases were averted for every 1,000 infants vaccinated, and 983 cases in those also given a booster dose. Professor Brian Greenwood, the study\u2019s author and professor of clinical tropical medicine at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: \u2018Despite the falling efficacy over time, there is still a clear benefit from RTS,S. \u2018Given that there were an estimated 198million malaria cases in 2013, this level of efficacy potentially translates into millions of cases of malaria in children being prevented.\u2019 But he said he was \u2018disappointed\u2019 by the results of the clinical trials, adding: \u2018I hoped the vaccine would be more effective, but we were never going to end up with the success seen in measles vaccines, with 97 per cent efficacy.\u2019 The shot , which is designed to be used by children in Africa, could be approved by October, making it the first approved vaccine for the world's most deadly disease . The disease is difficult to treat because the malaria parasite has a complicated life cycle and has learned how to evade the human immune system over hundreds of years. The latest World Health Organisation figures show that of the 198million cases in 2013, 584,000 people died. Most victims are children in Africa, where one dies every minute. Currently, the most effective prevention measure is the use of mosquito nets. The trial involved 15,459 infants aged six to 12 weeks", "summary": "Vaccine named RTS,S could be available by October, scientists believe .

In the case of late 19th-century America, it was the 'escort card' - not to be confused with the explicit sort you might imagine today - but rather a comical printed card men would hand to women they found attractive.

Scroll down for video . Long before mobile phones came along - allowing single men and women to flirt behind the comfort of a glowing screen - shy love-seekers of the late 19th Century had to resort to other tactics (pictured) These comical printed cards were handed out by men to women they found attractive .

The world's largest confectionary producer, joined Mars in November in warning of a massive shortfall of chocolate, which could reach a million tonnes a year by 2020.

Before the end of 2007 they had barely risen above \u00a31,300, according to figures from the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO).

He claimed the obese sexual predator did not belong to the Liberal Democrats at the time he was abusing scores of young boys. In fact Smith took the party whip for four years in Parliament and was feted as a Lib Dem grandee in the years before he died. Mr Clegg was accused on a radio phone-in of having 'washed his hands' of the issue by refusing to order a party investigation into Smith. He insisted there would be no inquiry despite revelations in Saturday's Daily Mail that the Liberal party \u2013 a forerunner to the Lib Dems \u2013 offered hush money equivalent to a month's wages to an activist after she complained about Smith molesting a teenage boy in 1979. Mr Clegg was confronted over the Smith scandal during a phone-in show on LBC radio yesterday. He was asked by 'John from Bexleyheath' why the Lib Dems had not investigated despite new details of Smith's prolific paedophilia exposed in this paper's serialisation of Labour politician Simon Danczuk's book about the late Rochdale MP. Mr Clegg attempted to distance the Lib Dems from Smith and said 'any political party' should co-operate with the police inquiry. He said: 'As it happens, Cyril Smith, as you may know, the allegations surrounding him, actually go right back to the time when he was a Labour politician, back, well before I was even born, I think.' Mr Clegg accused Mr Danczuk of choosing 'to airbrush out the fact that Smith was a Labour politician when he was alleged to have started abusing young children'. He added: 'Cyril Smith was active in politics, by the way, in a party which no longer exists \u2013 the Liberal party. 'So he was a Labour politician, and then he was a politician for most of his career, for a Liberal party, which no longer exists.

The statement Wednesday did not mention Brown, and a spokesman for the law firm said he could not provide any additional information about the lawsuit.

In 1992, a Drug Enforcement Agency operation which has since been discontinued, monitored every telephone call made from the United States to one of the up to 116 countries on their watch list for drug trafficking, including almost every country in both North and South America. USA Today uncovered the details of the program, whose vastness was not known until now, and whose practices, especially in gathering bulk information, later became a model for the National Security Agency. Scroll down for video . It has been revealed the government began secretly tracking phone calls under a program created for the Drug Enforcement Agency in 1992 . The DEA program and its aims had been revealed earlier this year in a report from the Justice Department, though there was no mention of just how big the program was, and the amount of data the agency was authorized to gather. This is also now the oldest known example of the American government authorizing this level of tracking on unknowing citizens of the country. The goal was to infiltrate drug trafficking rings, especially those that were previously unknown to members of the DEA and federal government. The program also allowed agents to monitor calls the ruled out the possibility of foreign ties to the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building by American Timothy McVeigh. The program only recently shuttered, and was used for nearly two decades, with top Justice Department officials in four administrations - George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama - approving the data collections. The data collection did not however allow DEA investigators access to the actual content of calls, just the numbers dialed and time of the calls were all recorded. A 1998 request for Sprint to release their call records to the program labeled it as 'one of the most important and effective Federal drug law enforcement initiatives.' The program was eventually halted not because it had run its course, but rather out of fear for public response should the details be revealed. That decision came from Attorney General Eric Holder in September 2013, just months after Edward Snowden began systematically releasing classified information he obtained while working at the NSA, most notably documents that detailed the agency's reach, which while viewed by some as crucial and necessary, was seen by many as an Orwellian nightmare, specifically as it pertained to the freedoms and allowances the agency had been granted when it came to spying on Americans. The DEA confirmed this, and they now send subpoenas on a daily basis to telephone companies to obtain records.

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'.

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.

'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.

The 2012 Super League Man of Steel is to cut short his stay in the NRL with New Zealand Warriors and rejoin his home-town club on a four-year contract from 2016. The announcement was made by Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan at half-time in Thursday night's First Utility Super League derby with Warrington, who were the other club after his signature once he announced he was returning to Super League. Sam Tomkins has agreed to rejoin Wigan after cutting short his stay in the NRL with New Zealand Warriors . 'Yes, I was speaking with a couple of clubs but it was always going to be between Wigan and Warrington,' Tomkins told Sky Sports News from Auckland. 'They showed a bit of interest and are successful. I thought about it but in the end the pull to go back to Wigan and play alongside my two brothers was too big. It's special playing alongside them - I've played alongside them in Super League but never together.' Tomkins, who left Wigan at the end of their 2013 Grand Final triumph, sought a release from the last 12 months of his three-year contract with the Auckland-based Warriors after becoming homesick. Wigan received a world record transfer fee, thought to be around \u00a3700,000, for Tomkins when they agreed to release him in September 2013 but retained first option to re-sign him in the event of him returning to Super League and have agreed a fee in excess of \u00a3200,000 to get him back. 'I am really happy to have this sorted and to be returning home to Wigan,' said Tomkins, who was greeted with a big cheer when he appeared on the big screen at the DW Stadium. Tomkins made 129 Super League appearances, scoring 107 tries, during his four-year stint at Wigan . 'All of my friends and family live in Wigan, a lot of them play for Wigan. It really was a no-brainer for me when I sat down and thought about things.' Tomkins, who celebrated his 26th birthday last month, becomes the third England international to rejoin Wigan in the last 12 months.

The return of Wigan's latest prodigal son was greeted with delight by home fans at the DW Stadium. Tomkins made his Wigan bow, at the age of 19, against Whitehaven in a fifth round Challenge Cup tie in May 2008, when he became the first player in rugby league history to score five tries on his first-grade debut. He went on to make 129 Super League appearances from 2009-13, in which he scored 107 tries.

That little voice inside your head that tells you to keep eating is, in fact, simply a cluster of around 10,000 brain cells. Now scientists believe they have found tiny triggers inside those cells that give rise to this 'voice' 'The POMC region is a central node of the brain's means for regulating body weight, in response to influences from the hormone leptin,' said Malcom Low, a professor in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Like signal lights that show pilots the path to an airport runway, enhancers guide proteins toward the gene so it can be read. Located deep inside the brain, in a structure called the hypothalamus, the cluster of POMC neurons act as a control center for feelings of fullness or hunger. They take in signals from the body, and send out chemical signals to regulate appetite and eating. When POMC neurons are absent, or not working correctly, animals and humans grow dangerously obese. The latest research show in animals that the same thing happens when certain genetic triggers inside the POMC cells aren't working.

The North Charleston police officer can't be executed for shooting Walter Scott in the back because the killing did not include any of a list of narrowly-defined 'aggravating circumstances' which state law says are conditions of the death penalty. It came as evidence against Slager continues to mount, the latest of which is dash cam footage of him discharging a Taser into a black man's back filed as part of an excessive force lawsuit. The video shows Slager weighing in on an arrest in progress, announcing that he's going to Tase Julius Garnett Wilson, who is laying on the floor, then discharging his weapon. Taser: Michael Slager, the North Charleston cop charged with murder, is pictured above firing a Taser at a black man being held down by two fellow officers. The man being stunned is now filing a lawsuit . Killing: Slager is being held in prison on murder charges after this video emerged of him shooting derad 50-year-old Walter Scott . As Wilson writhes on the floor he then yells 'turn over or you're going to get it again' in the footage, dated August 2014. Wilson, who was pulled over on his way to work at 4am for having a faulty tail light, is seen on dash cam recording insisting he has done nothing wrong, and demanding to know why he is being placed under arrest. Charges: Slager is facing an accusation of murder - but won't face the death penalty . The two officers, including Slager, don't explain and instead demand that he get out of the car. After one points a gun at him, he is seen being pulled out of the car. According to ABC News4, the officer in question said he drew his pistol after Wilson reached for something in the car. A third officer then arrives, and takes over from Slager attempting to subdue Wilson. Slager then warns his fellow officers to stand back before discharging the Taser. Attorneys for Wilson allege that his civil rights were breached, according to the New York Times. Wilson was charged with driving under suspension and resisting arrest. He pleaded guilty to resisting arrest, but the driving charge was later dropped. Other lawsuits against Slager are likely to follow in the light of his highly-publicized killing of Scott, a 50-year-old father of four. Mario Givens, who files an excessive force complaint against Slager in 2013, also said he intends to mount another case. Givens says that Slager knocked on his door and threatened him with the Taser unless he put his hands on his head. When he did, Givens claims Slager used the Taser on him anyway. Slager was looking for Givens's brother, Matthew, who is significantly shorter than him.

These brain areas activate spinal neurons that stimulate muscles to execute the movement. But many factors can interfere with motor ability, including sleep deprivation, which reduces dexterity. In people with Parkinson's disease, dopamine-producing cells in part of the brain called the substantia nigra are killed off, leading to tremors, slowness of movement, and difficulty walking . Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have now created an algorithm that can tell how effectively someone is striking a keypad. For instance, it can distinguish between typing done in the middle of the night, when sleep deprivation impairs motor skills, and typing performed when fully rested. It does this by analysing something known as 'key hold time' - a measure of how long a key is pressed before being released. The study is based on the premise that 'there might be hidden information in the way that we type,' says Ian Butterworth, one of researchers. 'At the moment, pretty much all of the other information in typing is thrown out. We just pay attention to what keys are being pressed, not when or for how long.' Scientists have developed a six-minute test which could give an early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Currently Parkinson's patients only discover they have the debilitating neurological problem when the symptoms have already taken hold. But last year Oxford University academics have come up with a new way of spotting the disease at an early stage. The researchers were able to detect early Parkinson's disease with a remarkable 85 per cent accuracy. The technique uses an MRI scanner to monitor the neural connections in a concentrated area at the very centre of the brain. Even at a very early stage, Parkinson's patients had much weaker connections in the basal ganglia region of the brain, which is associated with motor control. The study, which has been published in the journal Neurology, found that by taking 180 pictures in six minutes they could spot the poor connections. They also found that the test had a very low chance of incorrectly diagnosing healthy people with the disease. This study focused on the effects of fatigue, but the researchers say they could diagnose conditions that impair motor function, such as Parkinson's disease, much earlier than is now possible.

There she would spend three and a half hours sitting on her own reading looking \u2018heartbroken\u2019, according to a new book. A new book has claimed that Hillary Clinton imposed a blanket of secrecy on her movements during the Monica Lewinsky scandal . The vivid account is written by Kate Andersen Brower, a former White House correspondent for Bloomberg News in \u2018The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House.\u2019 She tells how in the summer of 1998, a few days before Mr Clinton would admit to sex with former White House intern Miss Lewinsky, usher Worthington White was approached by Mrs Clinton. She told him that she wanted to go to the pool but that only he could see her - no other aides and no Secret Service. Mr White said that he told Mrs Clinton\u2019s lead Secret Service agent: \u2018If anybody sees her, or she sees anybody, I\u2019m going to get fired, I know it. And you probably will too\u2019.

Mrs Clinton\u2019s wish was granted and she took an elevator to the pool, spent the afternoon there and came back the same way, . Miss Brower writes that Mrs Clinton \u2018turned to White, took his hands and squeezed them, looked him in the eye, and thanked him.\u2019 The book also recounts how the Clintons did not trust the old fashioned White House telephone system and felt too many people could listen in - so had it completely rewired . Miss Brower writes: \u2018They had all the White House phones changed over to interior circuitry so that if the first lady was in the bedroom and the president was in the study, she could ring him from room to room without going through the operator\u2019. Such upheaval did not go down well with staff and according to James W.F. \u2018Skip\u2019 Allen, an usher from 1979 to 2004, the Clintons were \u2018about the most paranoid people I\u2019d ever seen in my life\u2019.

Scientists believe the bizarre network of ridges formed in Mars' wet past billions of years ago above the now eroded, much softer bedrock. This March 18, view from the Mast Camera on the Curiosity rover shows a network of two-tone mineral veins. Scientists believe the bizarre formed in Mars' wet past billions of years ago above the now eroded bedrock . The ridges contain both bright and dark material. While Curiosity has found brightly coloured veins before, the darker ones remain have stumped scientists. 'Some of them look like ice-cream sandwiches: dark on both edges and white in the middle,' said Linda Kah, a Curiosity science-team member at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. 'These materials tell us about secondary fluids that were transported through the region after the host rock formed.' Veins such as these form where fluids move through cracked rock and leave minerals in the fractures, often affecting the chemistry of the rock surrounding the fractures. This view from the Mars Hand Lens Imager on the arm of Curiosity rover is a close-up of a two-tone mineral vein at a site called 'Garden City' on lower Mount Sharp. It was taken during night, illuminated by LEDs . Kah said, 'At least two secondary fluids have left evidence here. 'We want to understand the chemistry of the different fluids that were here and the sequence of events. How have later fluids affected the host rock?' Some of the sequence is known: Mud that formed lake-bed mudstones must have dried and hardened before the fractures formed. The dark material that lines the fracture walls reflects an earlier episode of fluid flow than the white, calcium-sulphate-rich veins do - although both flows occurred after the cracks formed. In total, what is now the planet's arid northern plains would have contained at least 12.4 million cubic miles (20 million cubic km) of water . Thanks to missions like Nasa's Curiosity rover, we know Mars once had water - but until now we didn't know how much. Scientists have provided the best estimates yet, claiming it once had more water than the Arctic Ocean - and the planet kept these oceans for more than 1.5 billion years. The findings suggest there was ample time and water for life on Mars to thrive, but over the last 3.7 billion years the red planet has lost 87 per cent of its water - leaving it barren and dry. The study by scientists at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is the first to determine just how much water Mars had in its past.

The Ukip leader's comments come after David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg faced a live-TV grilling over their plans for the next five years in power. All three leaders faced questions over Mr Cameron's proposed European referendum in 2017. The Prime Minister revealed that he would not go into any future Coalition which refused to grant the public a say on Britain's membership of the EU. Mr Miliband however batted off criticism from the audience to insist that he would not hold a referendum \u2013 insisting it was not in Britain's interests. Speaking tonight, Mr Farage claimed Britain could thrive outside the EU and vowed to push for a referendum before 2017. He said: 'The point about a referendum is we've had a variety of promises of referendums that have never been delivered. 'I want that referendum conducted on full, free and fair terms. And what I mean by that is that both sides must have the same spending limits. The broadcasters must have an Ombudsman to make sure there is a proper, even debate and we must - and we must define who is qualified to vote in this referendum and who isn't. 'And if it's a full, free and fair referendum I will accept the result. Would it make UKIP redundant? No, because just look at what's happened in Scotland. The Scots \u2013 the Scots rejected their independence referendum and yet the SNP have gone to remarkable heights since then.' The Ukip leader faced questions from a live audience for the show, hosted by the presenter Jo Cockburn, broadcast tonight . The show was broadcast after David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg faced a live-TV grilling over their plans for the next five years in power . Mr Farage's claim that Ukip could surge to similar levels of support to the SNP is likely to spark accusations of hubris. In the wake of last year's independence referendum in Scotland, the SNP has seen its support surge to 54 per cent \u2013 putting it on course, according to some analysts, to win all 59 seats north of the border. Ukip meanwhile trail badly behind both the Tories and Labour \u2013 currently languishing on", "summary": "Ukip leader said he would accept the result of any future EU referendum .

Saints remained in the hunt for a place in next season's Champions League by beating Hull at St Mary's . Southampton are five points behind Man City .

All are difficult. 'We play Sunderland away, we play Leicester away and they're fighting for not going down and that's even difficult.' Koeman is certainly not taking the run-in lightly and the trip to the Britannia Stadium will be an interesting test for Southampton's players at this stage. 'It is a difficult one,' the Dutchman said. 'We have that experience this season two times we play Stoke, one time at home and one time away for the League Cup.

A mother who was banned from her son's school after abusing staff then used one of the child's books to deliver a homophobic tirade to a teacher. Angela Linton wrote the vile message, directed at gay teacher Thomas O'Brien, after a row about a school outing, Birmingham Magistrates' Court heard. The 47-year-old, from Handsworth in Birmingham, has been given a community order, told to carry out unpaid work and fined \u00a3185 for harassing the victim. Linton's son started at Perry Beeches secondary school in September last year, the court heard. Helen Shipley, prosecuting, said that Linton approached head of year Mr O'Brien in October and expressed concern that she could not afford to send her son on a forthcoming residential trip. She was told that the school could come to an alternative arrangement, but failed to attend a scheduled meeting and then abused Mr O'Brien over the phone. Miss Shipley said: 'Linton felt that the school, in particular Mr O'Brien, was unfairly targeting her son, who had been placed in detention over having a mobile phone in class.' In another incident, Linton was shouting and acting aggressively outside the school entrance, and was told to leave the premises. School officials then sent the angry mother a letter telling her she was banned, and could only communicate with the school via the assistant headteacher or in her son's pass book. In January, she wrote a message in the book referring to the phone row she had with Mr O'Brien and abusing him for being gay. 'Mr O'Brien said he was traumatised by reading these comments,' Miss Shipley said. 'His sexuality was well known. He said it was something he was comfortable with. 'He could not believe they had been written. He did not know the reason for it.' School: The row began when Linton's son - a pupil at Perry Beeches, pictured - could not afford to go on an outing . Akhmed Yakoob, defending, said Linton felt remorse over her actions, which were out of character. Linton pleaded guilty to displaying writing which caused harassment, alarm or distress, and was sentenced to a 12-month community order. She was also ordered to do 150 hours of unpaid work and to pay \u00a3100 compensation to the victim and \u00a385 costs. Chairman of the bench Peter Pratt said: 'There is no doubt whatsoever that you have intentionally caused harassment, alarm or distress, most obviously to Mr O'Brien.

+{"article": "David Crossley developed large kidney stones . Like many busy people, David Crossley often used to find himself so wrapped up in his working day that he would go without lunch, and often barely stopped for a cup of tea. In fact, David, 63, a musculoskeletal therapist from Birmingham, admits: 'I would often be so busy at the clinic that I'd forget to drink any liquid at all, other than the odd cup of tea or coffee. It had been the same way for years - although I would drink more water at weekends.' Last year, this habit caught up with him. He noticed a vague ache in his abdomen, stretching around to his back. 'It wasn't agonising but it just didn't feel quite right, so I went to the GP,' he says. 'As I had some bloating, he sent me for an ultrasound.' This revealed two large stones in his right kidney - a direct result, his doctors believe, of his low fluid intake. A CT scan showed that the stones were so large (6 mm across) they could not be passed naturally, and he needed surgery. One in ten of us will develop a kidney stone, and the numbers are rising dramatically. They are the result of waste products in the blood forming crystals inside the kidneys, which eventually build up into a solid lump. They can be excruciatingly painful - on a level, say experts, with childbirth. The stones often remain symptomless while they're in the kidney. They start causing pain - known as renal colic - once they travel down the ureter, the narrow tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. 'Renal colic is caused by the stone suddenly blocking the ureter,' says Mr Leye Ajayi, consultant urological surgeon at the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth, London. The pain often comes on suddenly and can cause the patient to 'writhe around in agony', he adds. The pain can be intense enough to cause nausea and vomiting. Once on the move, a stone can take days or weeks to travel out of the body. In that time, it may cause persistent or intermittent pain in the back, groin or side, a need to urinate more than usual, and pain when urinating. Sometimes, if a stone blocks the exit of urine from the kidney, it can lead to a build-up of bacteria and trigger a kidney infection. Signs of this include a fever, shivering, extreme weakness, diarrhoea, or cloudy and bad-smelling urine. The bad news is that the number of people developing troublesome stones is rocketing. Emergency admissions to hospital for kidney stones have shot up during the past decade by 136 per cent, according to official figures, rising from just above 5,000 to almost 12,000 per year. Meanwhile, the number of people going in for planned non-emergency treatment for stones has almost doubled in the same period, rising from 26,666 in 2004 to 51,340.

A pilot has commited suicide by intentionally crashing his plane into a field in Northern California the day after pleading not guilty to domestic violence charges, authorities said Tuesday . Zachary Cain Stickler, 34, had been accused of physically assaulting his then-partner in February, and appeared Shasta County Superior Court in Redding on Friday. Before the crash on Saturday, Stickler had sent text messages to friends and family indicating he was distraught and planned to kill himself. He had been charged with felony count of making criminal threats and a misdemeanor battery charge, Chief Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Bridgett said. The charges stemmed from an argument in February in Redding, California, that escalated and became physical, Bridgett said. The alleged victim was living with Stickler at the time and reported an attack in their home. According to the police report, she claimed Stickler had gotten violent and then left their home, and that her cellphone had been destroyed in the process. She declined medical attention. Stickler killed himself by crashing into a pasture in in Millville, California, about 20miles from Redding, on Saturday morning, Shasta County Sheriff's Deputy Dustin Reynolds said. Sheriff's officials responded to a report of an explosion around 8:30am and found a small debris field at the site where the single-engine Cessna crashed. There was no indication Stickler had wanted to hurt anyone else, Reynolds added. A former boss has spoken of his shock at hearing of Stickler's death and the domestic violence charges. Crash: It is believed Stickler intentionally crashed his Cessna plane into a field in California on Saturday, after texting family and friends that he was 'distraught' and planned on taking his own life . Jason Lamberton, chief operating officer at AFT Center Flight Training in Long Beach, California, where Stickler worked last year described him as a 'skilled trainer who had good rapport with students'. 'I'm absolutely shocked. There was nothing like that whatsoever in his behavior. 'The young man was very professional with what he did here. We were really happy with him.' Lamberton also said that Stickler had left the company in order for his girlfriend could pursue an opportunity elsewhere, and that he had offered to provide the 34-year-old with a reference. More recently, Stickler worked for Aperture Aviation, an aerial photography company, which extended its sympathies to his family and friends in a statement. The Federal Aviation Administration has assigned two inspectors to the crash, one of whom may conduct an on-site inspection, FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said.", "summary": "Pilot Zachary Cain Stickler, 34, charged with domestic violence .

Lauren Crawley, 54, a housewife from Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, was given a new platinum implant that makes it easier to blink again, as she tells THEA JOURDAN. THE PATIENT . A few years ago I started losing my sense of balance and developed tinnitus - my GP referred me for scans which showed I had a large but benign brain tumour behind my left ear. Surgery was the only option. Thankfully the operation, in July 2012, was a success. But my facial nerve, which was wrapped around the tumour, was damaged. I'd been warned that facial palsy could be a side-effect, but it was still a shock seeing my face in the mirror - the left side was droopy. Apparently, it's the same thing that can happen after a stroke. I felt very self-conscious, but the problems weren't just aesthetic. I'd lost the hearing in my left ear as well as my sense of taste, and my mouth became dry. Eating and speaking were difficult - and, worst of all, my left eye was permanently open and I couldn't even blink with it. To close it, I had to push the upper lid down with my hand. The eye itself was dry and painful. To sleep, I had to seal it closed with tape. I'd been told that about half those with the condition do improve, so I was hopeful. I tried lots of things to improve the muscle tone, including facial massages, taught by a physiotherapist. I also had electric impulse therapy to shock the muscles back to life. But nothing worked. It was very stressful - I stopped socialising as much, in case people stared. After a year, it was clear the nerve would never work again so I was referred to Raman Malhotra, a plastic surgeon at the facial palsy clinic at the Queen Victoria Hospital. He explained he could put a special platinum chain into my eyelid which would weigh it down and help it close by itself - I'd be able to open the eye easily because the muscle controlling this wasn't affected. Apparently, surgeons used to use gold, but platinum is better because it doesn't irritate the eye's inside lining. It is also more dense than gold, so you need only a thin chain, which meant people would barely see the implant through my eyelid. I had the operation under sedation and local anaesthetic in February last year. Surgery for a benign brain tumour behind her left ear damaged a facial nerve wrapped around it . My eye was wide open as they injected anaesthetic into my eyelid and the skin around my eye, then made lots of tiny stitches into my eyelid to hold the chain in place.

It claims that branded painkillers that say they specifically treat certain types of pain are just using \u2018clever marketing\u2019 to make patients spend up to ten times more than they would on unbranded products, and that some manufacturers simply use the same pills in different packaging throughout their ranges. Scroll down for video . 'Clever marketing': Dr Chris Van Tulleken with a range of packets that, he says, may contain exactly the same pills . The UK over-the-counter medicines market, which also includes painkillers and anti-fungal creams, is worth \u00a32.5 billion, with brands vying for attention with brightly coloured packaging and promises that are questionable under scrutiny, claims Dr Chris Van Tulleken. In The Truth About Medicine, to be broadcast on Thursday, Dr Van Tulleken, an infectious diseases specialist, warns we should think less about convenience and more about the effectiveness of medicines. There are three main types of over-the-counter cough remedies, those that contain suppressants to alleviate symptoms of a dry, tickly cough, syrups that reduce the urge to cough by coating the throat, and products that help to thin sticky mucus, making coughing easier. Some also contain paracetamol or ibuprofen, both of which reduce a temperature, decongestants and antihistamines that can help sleep. Yet an authoritative study from Cardiff University\u2019s Common Cold Centre claimed cough medicines work mostly through a placebo effect, and that just 15 per cent of the effect can be attributed to the medicines in them. PREVENT: Sores on the inside of the mouth or cheeks can be caused by damage to the lining of the mouth from hot foods, biting your cheek or even rubbing dentures. They can also be a sign of an iron or Vitamin B12 deficiency, so a balanced diet can help prevent them. Spicy foods and chocolate can be triggers, so keep a food diary if you have recurrent outbreaks to pinpoint problem foods. It\u2019s also worth checking your toothpaste \u2013 formulas that contain a foaming agent called sodium lauryl sulphate can cause mouth ulcers by reducing the protective mucus layer in the mouth. You might consider switching brands. TREAT: Over-the-counter antiseptic gels can bring relief from the stinging and help form a protective layer around the mouth ulcer to speed up healing. You could also try a medicated mouthwash containing chlorhexidine, which is anti-inflammatory and helps reduce bacteria. If you have had mouth ulcers for more than three weeks, go to your GP or dentist, who may prescribe steroids in the form of a tablet, mouth spray or gel. DON\u2019T BOTHER: Some people believe upping their Vitamin C intake will cure their mouth ulcers, as the vitamin is known to help the wound-healing process, but too much can actually irritate the mouth.

Brian Karl Brimager, 37, was indicted by a federal grand jury in San Diego, in connection with the death of Yvonne Lee Baldelli . The 42-year-old woman from Laguna Niguel, California, was last seen in September 2011 when she arrived in Panama with Brimager. Her family reported her missing the following January . The indictment alleges that Brimager murdered Baldelli, dismembered her body and disposed of her body parts in a remote jungle area. Brimager then engaged in an elaborate scheme to cover up the crime, including destroying evidence and sending a series of emails purportedly from Baldelli in order to make it appear to her friends and family that she was still alive, according to court papers. The indictment also alleges that Brimager attempted to conceal his crime by disposing of a bloody mattress involved in Badelli's murder in the ocean. Brimager conducted two Internet searches on Baldelli's computer, one for 'washing mattress' and a second for 'washing mattress blood stain,' according to documents. A man who was cutting bushes on the island province of Bocas del Toro found a bag containing Baldelli's remains in August 2013. Baldelli's family has the clothing designer was frequently out of touch so they did not immediately suspect anything was wrong. Panama police say Brimager left Panama for Costa Rica and the United States about 10 days after last being seen with Baldelli.

Ministry of Defence 1, also known as \u2018Churchill\u2019s Toyshop\u2019, was a weapons laboratory set up in 1939 by Winston Churchill - a firm believer in the importance of science and technology in warfare. He encouraged his scientists to trial even the most absurd of inventions - many of which never made it beyond the drawing board - but some were so successful that they played a vital role in ending World War Two.

Churchill was the Conservative candidate for Woodford, Essex, but lost in the elections . 1. THE PANJANDRUM: A GIANT WHEEL COVERED IN ROCKETS . The Atlantic Wall was a series of robust fortifications built after 1942 by the Nazis to defend against an anticipated Allied invasion. Churchill was born in Blenheim Palace into the blue-blooded dynasty of the Dukes of Marlborough. He was an enthusiastic soldier, fighting in several wars before entering politics. Churchill was made prime minister of Britain in May 1940. He survived several strokes in later life, and on his death, he had one of the largest state funerals in history. It posed a significant obstacle for Allies, and so a potential solution to create a breach large enough to allow a vehicle through was dreamed up by one of Churchill\u2019s military think-tanks. The panjandrum was an unlikely-looking weapon, made up of two large wooden cartwheels with a ton of explosives sandwiched between them inside the axle. Cordite rockets were to propel it at predicted speeds of up to 60 miles (97km) per hour, which even without the deadly force of the explosives it carried, was pretty terrifying considering it weighed around 4,000lbs (1,800kg). After extensive trials, the prototype had a disastrous final test in which it veered dangerously off course and disintegrated in the sea. It was promptly canned.

To activate it, the vial was crushed so the copper chloride would begin to dissolve a metal wire. Once the wire snapped, it released a spring that propelled a striker down the hollow tube to the percussion cap, to detonate the explosives it had been inserted into.

Audi claims to have created the fuel of the future - diesel (shown above) made from water and carbon dioxide. Experts used renewable energy to convert the carbon dioxide and water into a form of crude oil known as 'blue crude', which was then refined into diesel . Tests have shown it can be mixed with diesel from fossil fuels, or used as a fuel in its own right. Audi has already begun using the new e-diesel to power the official car of German minister of education and research Dr Johanna Wanka. Reiner Mangold, head of sustainable product development at Audi, said: 'In developing Audi e-diesel we are promoting another fuel based on carbon dioxide that will allow long\u2011distance mobility with virtually no impact on the climate. Audi's fuel was developed with Sunfire, a Dresden-based energy technology company. To make the fuel, water is first heated to form steam which is then broken down into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen using high-temperature electrolysis. By performing this process at temperatures above 800\u00b0C (1,472\u00b0F), the water breaks down with greater efficiency than at room temperature. The hydrogen is then pumped into a reactor with carbon dioxide at high pressure and high temperatures. This causes them to react to produce long-chained liquid hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are the basic building block of all fossil fuels, but the compounds produced in the reactor are known as 'blue crude'. Audi claims the whole process can be powered using renewable energy and can be achieved with an efficiency of around 70%. The blue crude can then be refined in a similar way to standard crude oil to produce e-diesel.

The team say samples of DNA have also been retrieved from the sample, and because of the age, represent the oldest such samples ever recovered from Neanderthal remains. It has been around 30,000 years since the ancestors of modern-day humans are thought to have wiped out the ancient Neanderthals. But the extinct species could be taking revenge on us from beyond the grave by making us more vulnerable to potentially killer diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Neanderthals and modern humans are thought to have co-existed for thousands of years and interbred, meaning Europeans now have roughly two per cent Neanderthal DNA. These 'legacy' genes have been linked to an increased risk from cancer and diabetes by new studies looking at our evolutionary history. However, some genes we inherited could have also improved our immunity to other diseases.

Rescued: These live yellowtail jack fish, native to Japan, were found inside the floating debris and are now being housed in the Oregon Coast Aquarium . The several live yellowtail jack fish found on board will be delivered to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Five million tons of wreckage - the remains of homes, boats, and other remnants of shattered lives in eastern Japan - were swallowed by the ocean when the tsunami struck four years ago. About 70 per cent of it sank, leaving about 1.5 million tons floating with scientists saying they expect more debris to hit Alaska and the West Coast of North America for years to come. An estimated 5 million tons of debris washed into the ocean in March of 2011 during the tsunami. Around 70 percent of it is believed to have immediately sunk near the Japanese coast. Some more mobile items may have reached the Pacific Northwest before 2011 even came to a close. The first documented piece of debris to arrive in California, a barnacle covered fishing boat, came ashore in April 2013. The particles are dispersed sparsely from Alaska to the Philippines. In 2013, a floating island of debris the size of Texas crossed the vast Pacific Ocean to the western shores of the Americas.

Detective Patrick Cherry, pictured in the blue shirt, launched his tirade after the Uber driver hooted at him . The driver, named only as Humayun, pictured, tried to repeatedly apologise to Detective Cherry . The officer has been named by the New York Daily News as Detective Patrick Cherry of the NYPD's joint terrorism task force. Detective Cherry was trying to park his Hyundai without indicating when the Uber driver known only as Humayun honked his horn. The angered detective pulled over the Uber cab and launched a tirade, questioning the diver's command of the English language as well as his car control skills. Detective Cherry is now under investigation by the Civilian Complaint Review Board following a complaint of 'discourtesy'. President of the Detectives Endowment Association said Detective Cherry had been visiting his colleague Detective Harry Hill who had recently had a heart attack while undergoing surgery and was very stressed. He said: 'The past five days have been emotionally draining for the members of the JTTF dealing with their fellow detective's health . 'Despite what some people think, cops have feelings, too.' During the three-minute video, Detective Cherry shouts: 'I don't know where you're coming from, where you think you're appropriate in doing that; that's not the way it works. How long have you been in this country?' The two passengers in the backseat of the car can be heard assuring the driver that he has done nothing wrong, with one of them saying; 'It's not your fault; this guy's just a d***.' Moments later the cop returns with a ticket, this after he has pounded on the car and, according to one of the passengers, thrown things in the vehicle. As the driver agrees with everything the cop says, he manages to cut off the man, which sends him into another tirade as he screams; 'I don't know what f****** planet you're on right now!' The officer also mocks the driver's accent throughout and his pronunciation of certain words. Passengers in the cab claimed that Detective Cherry failed to indicate before attempting to park his Hyundai . According to the New York Daily News, the NYPD has seen the video and said in a statement; 'We are aware of the incident and video and it is under review with the department\u2019s Internal Affairs Bureau.' 'Our Uber driver, Humayun, was abused by a police officer today in New York,' Sanjay Seth, who took the video, wrote on his Facebook page on Monday.

The ambulance service is becoming increasingly reliant on firemen to attend life-threatening emergencies . The Fire Brigade Union say the practice is irresponsible and dangerous and becoming more common . Senior union officials say fire engines are routinely being turned into makeshift ambulances to ferry patients to A&E. They normally carry a few blankets, oxygen masks to protect against smokes and a defibrillator \u2013 to restart the heart. In one case earlier this year an elderly lady is feared to have died because she was left in the hands of fire crews for nearly 40 minutes while paramedics were delayed. The ambulance service is facing unprecedented demand from the rising and aging population and in some areas 999 calls are up by 15 per cent on last year. Paramedics are also having to respond to rising numbers of non-urgent calls from patients frustrated that they cannot get an appointment with their GP. They are also having to waste much of their time queued up outside A&E units which cannot accept their patients because staff there are also very busy. This has all led to the ambulance service increasingly relying on firemen to attend potentially life-threatening emergencies.

Amanda Butler, 42, had enjoyed a totally normal pregnancy until her waters broke at 25 weeks. Her son Callum was born weighing just 1lb 9oz and with translucent skin - and both she and doctors feared he would not survive. In the weeks and months that followed, he underwent heart surgery, a lumbar puncture, laser eye surgery and 10 blood transfusions. Mrs Butler, a marketing consultant from Milton Keynes, later discovered her premature labour had been triggered by a common infection called bacterial vaginosis (BV). Scroll down for video . Callum Butler was born at just 25 weeks into his mother's pregnancy. His mother Amanda was later told an infection she had, called bacterial vaginosis, was to blame. The condition can also cause miscarriage . BV affects one in three women, making it twice as common as thrush. It occurs when the balance of internal bacteria is disrupted, leading to an unpleasant odour. If untreated, it can lead to fertility problems and increased risk of contracting STIs such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia. Pregnant women with the condition are six times more likely to miscarry and twice as likely to give birth prematurely. One of the biggest problems is that BV often goes undiagnosed - or women wrongly assume they are suffering from another similar ailment, such as thrush. Misdiagnosis often occurs as 38 per cent of women only feel comfortable getting intimate health advice from online forums because while 19 per cent are too embarrassed to talk to their GP, research has shown. Many other women, such as Mrs Butler, have simply never heard of the condition. She said: 'I was angry when I found out that BV had caused Callum\u2019s premature birth because it was the first I had heard of it. 'No-one ever told me the condition could lead to complications like this. 'It wasn't in any of the pregnancy books and was certainly never mentioned by midwives or doctors prior to it happening.' She said she noticed a discharge at around 24 weeks - but didn\u2019t pay it any attention. 'Pregnancy itself can cause that to happen, and it certainly didn\u2019t concern my midwife,' she recalled. 'The discharge didn\u2019t have the characteristic odour that is associated with BV.' After the trauma of the premature labour and birth, Mrs Butler was initially told it had occurred because she had an 'incompetent cervix'. This is a condition that occurs when weak cervical tissue causes the cervix to open too soon - causing premature birth or the loss of an otherwise healthy pregnancy. It was only during a consultation with a specialist two years later that she was horrified to be told an infection must have caused Callum's early arrival. 'I feel like it could have been totally avoided had I been given the right information,' she said. Like many women, Mrs Butler had never heard of the condition.

The Transport Workers' Union's National Secretary Tony Sheldon condemned the requested change to the Fair Work Act and accused Aldi of trying to reintroduce serfdom. 'Major retailers like Aldi are trying to turn the clocks back on our modern society to reintroduce serfdom,' Mr Sheldon in a statement. Aldi has requested the ability to make employees work more than 38 hours in a submission to Workplace Relations Productivity Commission . 'Their model is to keep workers employed on vulnerable part-time and casual basis, increasing and reducing their hours when they see fit.' National Secretary of the Transport Workers' Union, Tony Sheldon, accused Aldi of trying to reintroduce serfdom . His comment was made amidst a new submission from the supermarket giant to the Workplace Relations Productivity Commission, in which it recommended that the National Employment Standards be amended to 'enable employers and employees greater flexibility to determine reasonable working hours above the standard 38 hour week'. Aldi's last attempt to increase workers hours in 2012 failed despite the supermarket chain arguing that their employees 'overwhelmingly supported' and 'preferred' the proposals. 'ALDI's experience is that employees are keen for the opportunity of guaranteed additional hours and commensurate income, and prefer this arrangement to a limit of 38 hours plus additional hours to be worked as needed,' David Zalunardo, Aldi's managing director, wrote. However Mr Sheldon argued that the employer had been stopped for good reason, saying the chain had tried to 'strip workers of their rights'. 'The Transport Workers' Union and its members acted against this billion-dollar company in 2012, when it tried to strip workers of their right to refuse to work unreasonably long hours,' he said. Mr Sheldon responded by saying: 'Aldi... believes the right of workers to challenge bad workplace agreements is \"not acceptable in a modern, flexible economy\"' 'Aldi then failed the legal and fairness test, but now in a submission to the Productivity Commission it is seeking again to scrap the same safeguards. 'We can only hope that Aldi's dream for the Australian economy never comes true.' The grocery store also protested union's power to interfere in enterprise agreements, arguing that a recent incident, in which a union representing only 'a very small number of employees' delayed an agreement, caused 'negative consequences\u2026in terms of uncertainty, financial costs and distraction from managing the business'. 'Based on our experience, the length of time taken for FWC consideration of enterprise agreements can be unduly prolonged, costly and disruptive to continuing business operations, which is disadvantageous to all stakeholders. This is not acceptable in a modern, flexible economy,' Mr Zalunardo wrote.

The cost of divorce can wreck retirement many years after the break-up of a marriage, according to research. People who have never been divorced can expect a retirement income 13 per cent higher than a colleague who has been through a divorce. It means an extra \u00a32,100 a year \u2013 \u00a317,800 rather than \u00a315,700 \u2013 to anyone who has kept their marriage intact, or who has never married, according to the survey for the Prudential. It also found that one in five divorcees who stop work this year will retire with debts to drag down their disposable income and their lifestyles. The debt of a divorced retiree averages \u00a322,100, Prudential\u2019s report said, while many divorced people will have to get by on low incomes after ending their careers. Researchers said that nearly one in five divorced people will retire on incomes of less that \u00a39,500 \u2013 the level identified by poverty analysts at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation think tank as the minimum income for a single pensioner to enjoy a decent life. By comparison, only 13 per cent of people who are not divorced will be below the line, yesterday\u2019s report said. The impact of divorce on a former spouse\u2019s wealth is such that divorcees coming up to retirement age are 13 per cent more likely to delay retirement and continue working. The study adds to evidence that neither the emotional nor the financial effects of divorce are quickly overcome by families that break up. Years of research have established that the children of divorced parents are likely to do worse at school, worse in their careers after they leave school, to be more at risk of taking drugs or falling into crime, and to suffer worse health. The impact of divorcing parents lasts long after a child has grown up and become an independent adult, studies suggests . The latest survey provides new evidence that the financial crash that husbands, wives and children suffer during a divorce \u2013 usually including loss of income, the price of running two homes instead of one, legal costs, and the long-term burden of maintenance payments for one spouse \u2013 does not fade away even as old age approaches. Apart from the costs of supporting a former partner who is bringing up their children, a divorced man or woman faces giving up a share of their pension when they retire through \u2018pension-splitting\u2019 arrangements.

But they had overlooked the fact that their kite was so big, it posed a danger to passing aircraft.

The weather at the kite flying festival in Chongqing undoubtedly played a part, with a heavy mist reducing visibility not only for pilots but for spectators who had turned up to witness the annual event. Each of the 2,000 pieces bears the Chinese characters 'China Dream' and it takes eight hours to get the full-length kite airborne. Wang Dongming, one of the three kite flyers, said special sturdier rope made from kevlar - which is also used to make bulletproof vests - had to be used to thread the kite. Mr Wang said: 'Big kites and kites that are used for trick flying are usually built from this kevlar rope to prevent the line from snapping in the wind.' In order to secure the pieces on the kite, craftsmen only used bamboo that was more than three years old which can resist severe wind.

One, a Western diplomat, told the paper that Coalition generals weren\u2019t sure whether al-Baghdadi was in the convoy. News of the attack follows contradictory accounts of al-Baghdadi being killed in air strikes in November and December . Another, an Iraqi expert on Isis used by the government in Baghdad in an advisory capacity, revealed that he had in fact been wounded. He said: \u2018Yes, he was wounded in al-Baaj near the village of Umm al-Rous on 18 March with a group that was with him.\u2019 This area is known to be largely lawless and a hotbed of jihadi activity, with very little Coalition air presence. Raffaello Pantucci, Director of International Security Studies for defence think tank the Royal United Services Institute, told MailOnline that it\u2019s entirely plausible that the infamous leader had been hit, but warned that it might not have a long-term impact on the group if he didn't survive. He said: \u2018We\u2019ve heard these stories before. It's possible, as they would be going after him and they would be trying to drone him, but it\u2019s right to be suspicious. 'If he was killed it would have a big effect on the group as a lot of the group is wrapped up in his identity. The whole of Islamic State is built on success and if the leader is bumped off it\u2019s harder to say you\u2019re winning. \u2018But it\u2019s quite a resilient group. They would do a PR piece on it and say he\u2019s gone to a better place \u2013 but coherence often comes from leadership. \u2018However, it would not mean the end of the group by any stretch.\u2019 Last year there were two reports that Baghdadi had been wounded, but they turned out to be inaccurate. He escaped death in December when US jets attacked a two-car convoy on the outskirts of Mosul. His close aide Auf Abdul Rahman al-Efery was killed when a rocket fired from a war plane hit one of the cars. Baghdadi was believed to be in the second car, which was not hit.", "summary": "Iraqi source said he was wounded after his three-car convoy was attacked .

His girlfriend Annette Jabeth then posed as the victim and withdrew her \u00a31million life savings, which the gang spent in a three-day shopping splurge in the New Year sales in January 2012.

Burnley Crown Court heard there were also 17,821 other indecent images with 106 movies. Laura Barbour, defending, said she had been instructed the reason Greaves had the images on his computer was because he was conducting an investigation on the 'Illuminati'.

The Centurions twice came from behind in thrilling fashion to beat the Red Devils 22-18 in front of a 6,358 crowd at Leigh Sports Village and stretch their winning run to 21 matches. The build-up to the fifth-round tie was dominated by the selection by Leigh of former England forward Gareth Hock despite an agreement not to play against his old club, but he played little part in their downfall. Unbeaten Championship leaders Leigh delivered a stunning knockout blow as Super League club Salford crashed out of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup . Hock, one of five ex-Salford players in the home line-up, spent just 25 minutes on the field in two spells and looked well short of match fitness. Instead it was left to former Wigan hooker Bob Beswick to orchestrate a magnificent display by Paul Rowley's men, who trailed 6-0 and 18-12 to their Super League visitors, who were badly hit by injuries and indebted to a superb performance from French half-back Theo Fages for keeping them in contention right to the end. The match was played amid a wonderful atmosphere and the ferocity was in evidence inside the first minute when Salford forward Cory Paterson was placed on report for a high and late tackle on Leigh full-back Gregg McNally. Fages opened the scoring after seven minutes when he dummied his way over for the first try and his half-back partner Michael Dobson kicked the conversion before hurting his knee in a collision four minutes later. Dobson attempted to play on but eventually succumbed to his injury and the Red Devils also lost centre Junior Sa'u with a wrist injury before half-time. With Paterson also limping, the visitors were rocked by the flair and determination of their Championship opponents, who scored two tries in four minutes to go 12-6 ahead. Beswick was the provider each time, a short pass getting veteran forward Tommy Goulden over from close range while McNally finished off his break from halfway, and Martyn Ridyard kicked both conversions. That was the signal for Hock to enter the fray but Salford turned the tables with two tries either side of the break from Niall Evalds to retake the lead. They drew level on 34 minutes when Fages broke clear to get the full-back over for his first try and got his over again three minutes into the second half courtesy of a neat reverse pass. Paterson kicked both goals to make it 18-12 and Leigh missed a glorious chance to level matters when centre Tom Armstrong got winger Liam Kay haring for the corner only for him to lose the ball in Fages' last-ditch tackle. Just when Salford seemed to be in control, the game took a new twist as Leigh stormed back in front.

A senior Labour politician was under fire last night for attacking right to buy \u2013 while renting out a property she bought from a housing association. Emily Thornberry has come out against David Cameron\u2019s pledge to extend the right to buy policy from council tenants to those in housing association homes. But eight years ago she and her husband bought at auction a housing association property now worth almost \u00a31million.

Miss Thornberry yesterday retweeted an article from the federation attacking right to buy. And, in a question-and-answer session last week, the Labour candidate for Islington South and Finsbury criticised the policy directly.

The Tories would extend this to 800,000 housing association tenants who now have limited purchase rights and to 500,000 who have no rights at all. Around 2.7million people live in these properties. The subsidies would be funded by making councils sell their more costly properties when they become vacant. Each would be replaced on a one-for-one basis.

A father and son team have created a robot, called the Germfalcon, which uses ultra violet light to kill bacteria throughout the cabin . The seats, tray tables and blankets on an aeroplane are breeding ground for bacteria including E.coli . According to the businessmen, germs such as E.coli and MRSA can linger for up to a week on suraces within an aircraft and there are no clear rules on how often aeroplanes should be cleaned. But the family team has developed the unusual new robot as a way to counter issues with cleaning the interior of a plane - which currently only takes place a few times a year. When the plane is parked and empty, the device, which is the size of a drinks cart, patrols the aisles using motion sensors to navigate itself. As it does, it spreads its two 'wings' over the seats on either side. Those wings contain UV-C lamps, which are the same type used for disinfection in places like hospitals and water treatment plants. It also has UV-C lamps on its top and sides. Arthur and Mo Kreitenberg, from Los Angeles, said the 3.5billion people expected to fly this year risk falling ill due to poor plane hygiene. Writing on their Kickstarter page to raise money for their project, Mo said: 'Germs will survive on aeroplane surfaces sometimes for as long as seven days. 'There are no regulations or cleanliness standards for the passenger cabins of airplanes. Aeroplane travelers are at heightened risk of catching the common cold, flu, or more serious infections.' They said their device could spare passengers from catching illnesses when flying and give airlines a competitive edge.

Britain's most persistent crook with a criminal career spanning 50 years has been jailed again after his 190th court appearance. Robert Knowles, 68, from Plymouth, Devon, is a serial shoplifter who first broke the law when he was 13 and has been in court at least once a year since 1959. The pensioner has broken the law so many times that prosecutors have lost track of his expansive record, which includes 200 thefts and dozens more for other dishonest offences. It is believed Knowles has now clocked up in the region of 350 offences over his lifetime. He pleaded guilty to stealing a watch and a pair of cuff links worth \u00a350 from H Samuel in the city centre at Plymouth Magistrates Court in his most recent offence and jailed for 16 weeks. The court heard he had only recently been released from a six week jail sentence imposed by the same court and was told he must pay an \u00a380 victim surcharge. Knowles, who has spent most of his adult life in prison, had been living briefly in a hostel in Plymouth before the thefts on March 14. Defence lawyers say the pensioner only goes between 24 and 72 hours before he is rearrested after each court appearance. 'Nobody knows why he does it,' his long-term solicitor Alan Harris said. 'Nobody knows whether he is effectively waiting to die in prison.' At a previous court hearing, Mr Harris told magistrates Knowles is an alcoholic who 'recognises himself as institutionalised' and steals to go back to jail. In 2013 he was caught stealing two boxes of chocolate from Thorntons but despite eating the \u00a313 chocolates in the street, a security guard let him off with a warning. He then went to a nearby Tesco Metro and walked out with \u00a326 of food - prompting staff to call police. And in 2011, Knowles admitted stealing two bottles of whiskey, watches and socks worth \u00a3279 from Marks and Spencer. During that hearing at the same court, Mr Harris said: \u2018He can cope very easily with prison but cannot cope very well with the world outside.

The Mindfulness for Travel series was developed for launch of the airline's new Airbus A380 service between London and San Francisco, known for its laid-back California vibes. Providing fliers with meditation techniques, as well as additional healthy flying tips, the programme hopes to inspire a relaxed, positive state of mind for all travellers - even if the journey doesn't go exactly according to plan. To celebrate British Airways' new A380 service between London and San Francisco, the airline has launched a mindfulness programme . The airline consulted with mindfulness expert Mark Coleman, also the Founder of the Mindfulness Institute, to develop the recommended practices. Coleman and British Airways created several videos - tailored to pre-flight, mid-flight, and pre-arrival exercises - which will be available on board for all fliers to view. He recommends wearing comfortable clothing, choosing lighter meals on board, moderating alcohol, coffee and tea intake and 'gentle exercising,' such as stretching, during the flight. Coleman also advocates strategic napping to help travellers adjust to a different time zone and feel revitalised upon landing. Along with healthier meal options, the Mindfulness for Travel series is full of tips to ensure a worry-free flight . The brand also tapped mindfulness expert Mark Coleman to develop a series of meditation videos . Coleman recommends 'gently exercising' on board, eating lighter meals and wearing comfortable clothes . 'Embracing the spirit of travel involves living fully in the moment, which can be cultivated through mindful practice,' Coleman said in a statement. 'The video series I created in partnership with British Airways will help travellers develop the clarity, calm and focus necessary to get the most out of their travel experiences.' While undoubtedly it's a bit easier to stretch out and find your inner zen if you're flying in Club World or First class, we'll try just about anything to help us feel refreshed after long-distance travel.", "summary": "Mindfulness for Travel series includes meditative videos and other tips .

Biologists have studied the healing process at a molecular level using electron microscopes to examine skin as it repairs itself. They found skin cells appear to attach to each other using tiny tubes that then pull them together so they interlock like a zip. This image on the left taken of skin cells healing a wound using an electron microscope show how cells on opposing sides (coloured green and brown) interlock together in a similar way to a zipper used on clothes. The image on the right shows how the would looks on the surface at this stage in the healing process . The researchers hope their findings could help in the development of new treatments for wounds that could speed up this process. Dr Mikhail Eltsov, one of the scientists behind the study at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, said: 'When we look at it from a distance, it appears as if skin cells simply fuse to each other, but if we zoom in, it becomes clear that membranes, molecular machines, and other cellular components are involved. 'Our electron microscope allows us to distinguish the molecular components in the cell that act like small machines to fuse the skin. 'In order to visualize this orchestra of healing, a very high-resolution picture of the process is needed. 'For this purpose we have recorded an enormous amount of data that surpasses all previous studies of this kind.' Dr Eltsov and his colleagues used cells from fruit fly embryos to study the healing processes that take place in skin. The study, which is published in the journal Nature Cell Biology, found that the skin cells on either side of the wound begin by 'sniffing' each other out to find their opposing partners. They then develop adhesive like structure made of microscopic tubes, called microtubules, that pulls them closer together. These attachments work a like velcro and pulls the skin cells towards the opening. Once the cells meet, they use these microtubules as a scaffolding to interlock together like a zip. Professor Achilleas Frangakis, a microscopy expert at Goethe University Frankfurt who led the study, said: 'What was also amazing was the tremendous plasticity of the membranes in this process which managed to close the skin opening in a very short space of time. 'When five to ten cells have found their respective neighbors, the skin already appears normal.' Skin taken from the dead could soon be used to treat wounds in the living. Researchers have found that skin taken from cadavers that is stripped of its cells is effective in healing acute wounds, such as burns, as well as painful ulcers. They believe the new treatment could be used to treat wounds that do not easily heal by themselves, which cost the US alone more than $25 billion (\u00a317 billion) a year.

+{"article": "President Barack Obama staunchly defended a framework nuclear agreement with Iran as a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity' to prevent a bomb and bring longer-term stability to the Middle East. He insisted the U.S. would stand by Israel if it were to come under attack, but acknowledged that his pursuit of diplomacy with Tehran has caused strain with the close ally. 'It's been a hard period,' Obama said in a weekend interview with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. He added that it is 'personally difficult' for him to hear his administration accused of not looking out for Israel's interests. Scroll down for video . On the back foot: Barack Obama phrased his actions in negotiations with Iran as an attempt to 'take the nuclear issue off the table'. Iran has agreed to restrict its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions . Now in his seventh year in office, Obama cast the Iran talks as part of a broader foreign policy doctrine that sees American power as a safeguard that gives him the ability to take calculated risks. 'We are powerful enough to be able to test these propositions without putting ourselves at risk,' he said, citing his overtures to Cuba and Myanmar as other examples of his approach. The president's comments come days after the U.S. and other world powers reached a tentative agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. The framework cleared the way for negotiators to hammer out technical details ahead of a June 30 deadline for a final deal. Negotiations: Secretary of State John Kerry, right with Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, was involved in the nuclear talks in Lausanne, Switzerland . Obama argued that successful negotiations presented the most effective way to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but insisted he would keep all options on the table if Tehran were to violate the terms. 'I've been very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch, and I think they should understand that we mean it,' Obama said in the interview published Sunday. 'But I say that hoping that we can conclude this diplomatic arrangement \u2014 and that it ushers a new era in U.S.-Iranian relations \u2014 and, just as importantly, over time, a new era in Iranian relations with its neighbors.' The president said there are many details that still need to be worked out with the Iranians and cautioned that there would be 'real political difficulties' in implementing an agreement in both countries. He reiterated his opposition to a legislation that would give the U.S. Congress final say in approving or rejecting a deal, but said he hoped to find a path to allow Congress to 'express itself.' Victory? Obama looked forward to 'a new era' of relations with Iran. Pictured above is the nation's president, Hassan Rouhani .

Top of the list is 'death' for anyone who insults God or his messenger or blasphemes against Islam. Adulterers who engage in a sexual relationship are to be stoned to death, while couples who have an affair without sexual contact can expect the more lenient punishment of 100 lashes and 'banishment' from the community. Crucified: The list of ISIS' gruesome punishments dictates that 'spying for disbelievers' is punishable by death - a fate this man suffered by being publicly crucified . Stoned to death: The terror group broadcast this image of a man and women being stoned to death for having sex before marriage, as the barbaric list which surfaced on an ISIS propaganda website proclaims . Barbaric: It allegedly pertains to the IS-held territory in Aleppo but their brutal punishments have taken place in various places, including the death of this man in Raqqa, Syria after he was accused of being gay . Those guilty of 'highway robbery' face crucifixion and offences such as drinking wine or 'calumny', making slanderous comments, each attract the punishment of 80 lashes. Homosexuality is also to be punished by 'death for the penetrator and the receiver' while thieves will have their hands severed from their arms. The growing threat to the Islamic State from spies inside the group's controlled territory has forced the religious leaders to impose a summary death penalty to all those found guilty of 'spying for the interests of the disbelievers'. IS claims the list of 'religious punishments' is a 'warning and deterrent' to the kufr, or disbelievers and infidels. Many of the punishments have already been carried out by IS. Public crucifixions in the IS stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria have become common-place while pictures of stonings and gay men being thrown from buildings have been widely circulated on social media.

City go into the derby at Old Trafford in fourth place, one point behind their neighbours after a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday.

The Argentinian scored a 94th minute winner to wrest the title from United's grasp in 2012 and he is not giving up on the top prize again just yet.

He added: 'They are a team with a lot of great individual players, who can form an incredible unit when they work well together. But this season that has not always been the case. 'Some matches they don't seem to play at the maximum, with the attacking qualities that they have in the team.

He was celebrating after the team's 2-1 international friendly victory against Luxembourg and had gone to the cockpit to announce his congratulations over the PA system last week. But after the move was reported in Turkish media, Turkish aviation officials in the country's Civilian Aviation Directorate (SHGM) said it was a serious breach of the safety rules of the flight back from the capital Luxembourg City and warned that there would be consequences for the cabin crew.

They said that nobody other than the crew should be allowed in the cockpit during the flight and exception should be made for nobody, even the Turkish team captain and Atletico Madrid midfielder Turan. The SHGM criticised the flight crew's decision to ignore the standard safety regulations in several tweets it posted on its official Twitter account. The first tweet noted that 'Flight teams must abide by \"Safe Cockpit\" rules for the duration of the entire flight. No one but the flight crew should be admitted to the cockpit.' A second tweet pointed out how the pilots were in violation of the 'Safe Cockpit' rules and are subject to a \u00a3260 fine, at the very least.

Adam Rushton took advantage of being a beat officer in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, to have sex with women, Birmingham Crown Court heard. The 37-year-old officer was found guilty of five counts of misconduct and another of breaching data protection rules by obtaining personal data. Rushton, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, denied ten counts of misconduct and two of breaching data protection laws while employed by police. He was acquitted on the remaining counts.

Giving evidence, Rushton, who has been with the force for ten years, conceded some of his actions were \u2018not very professional\u2019 but claimed it did not amount to criminal misbehaviour. During the trial, he said he never expected to end up in the dock after going to one woman's home and having oral sex. \u2018It's not very professional, I fully accept that, and that it's wrong,\u2019 Rushton told jurors. \u2018But no way whatsoever did I think I'd be standing here.\u2019 He was convicted over that offence, and of making a social visit to another victim, while on the clock.

When first interviewed over the allegations in April 2013, he denied sleeping with all but one of the women, however later accepted he had sex with several others. However, he denied his actions were criminal misconduct. Rushton had an impressive professional record as a neighbourhood policing officer, with many letters of praise from senior officers.

The 19-year-old thought he was meeting a 14-year-old girl he had spoken to on on the internet in Atherton - but when he got there he was attacked by a gang of men who accused him of being a paedophile. Attack: One teenager has told Greater Manchester Police he was beaten up by the gang, who reportedly tricked him into believing he was meeting an underage girl in a church car park in Atherton (pictured) After escaping, the teenager then reported the matter to police and was promptly arrested on suspicion of grooming. He has been bailed while police investigate. In a second similar incident, concerned shoppers called police when they saw a man being beaten up in Market Place in Wigan at about 2.40pm on Saturday. Their target, Andrew O'Neill, 25, has since admitted in court that he groomed an under-age girl. He had made contact on a dating website with a 'girl' called Alex, Wigan Magistrates' Court heard. But after booking a hotel room and turning up to meet the girl in Wigan on Saturday afternoon, he was confronted by a number of men and attacked. Concerned shoppers witnessed the assault on Market Place in the town centre as O'Neill was head-butted and lost two front teeth. Other members of the group filmed the incident. He escaped the attack and went to the police to report the assault. The video was then posted on Facebook with the tag 'NWI Nonce Busters' - believed to be a reference to right-wing group the North West Infidels. The video has since been taken down. O'Neill, formerly of Castlehey, Skelmersdale, was charged by police after reporting the assault and admitted an offence of attempting to meet a girl under 16 following grooming, between April 11 and 18. He was remanded into custody for his own safety and will appear for sentence at Liverpool Crown Court on May 11. Nicola Ormerod, prosecuting, said: 'The defendant has contacted somebody said to be called 'Alex' on a profile on a dating website. 'General discussions then turn flirty and sexual and she said she is 14. Second meeting: Concerned shoppers called police when they saw a man lose his teeth after being beaten up in Market Place in Wigan . 'There's an arrangement made for the two parties to meet.

The tunnels were dug into sandstone cliffs along the River Mersey in Stockport in the 1930s, and were originally intended to provide car parking spaces. But following the outbreak of the Second World War, the space was redeveloped as an air raid shelter where residents of Lancashire and Cheshire could hide from Nazi bombs. Scroll down for video . Shelter: This shows one of the rooms of Britain's largest purpose-built air raid shelter, located in Stockport, Greater Manchester . Safe: A bunker lined with corrugated steel to protect against the possible effects of a Nazi bombing raid during the Second World War . Tunnels: A total of 6,500 people could fit into the shelter, which was made up of a network of interconnecting passages . Entrance: The shelter has been converted into a museum, replicating the conditions which would have been found 75 years ago .

Equipment: Gas masks which were kept in the shelter are pictured left; right is the sick bay, where people could seek shelter while unwell . Extent: The shelter was going to be turned into a car park, but officials discovered that its long tunnels were unsuitable for the purpose . Curator Howard Green said: 'The official capacity was 3,850, so outside they painted 4,000 - but what they didn't advertise was that they thought they could squeeze twice as many in if needs be.

The 59-year-old novelist and screenwriter singled out Walliams\u2019 Gangsta Granny for criticism, as well as the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books by author Jeff Kinney. Scroll down for video . Author Anthony Horowitz (pictured right) said books by comedian David Walliams (left) \u2013 who was the UK\u2019s top-selling children\u2019s author last year \u2013 are \u2018witty and entertaining\u2019 but nowhere near ambitious enough . He insisted that such writers should challenge their young readers and not be \u2018afraid of powerful stories or serious ideas\u2019. He suggested they should follow the example of authors such as John Green and \u2018write up for children, not down to them\u2019. Green\u2019s book, The Fault In Our Stars, tells the story of two teenagers who fall in love while they are both dying of cancer, and was the top-selling title of 2014, with more than 870,000 copies sold. Horowitz, who is also the principal writer on the ITV period detective drama Foyle\u2019s War, singled out Gangsta Granny, with its breaking-wind jokes and a character who perpetuates the myth that children \u2018automatically dislike reading\u2019. Writing in the Times Educational Supplement, he said he was troubled that children\u2019s books \u2018seem to have come full circle\u2019.

'Today it is Jeff Kinney and David Walliams who top the bestseller lists, with books that are witty and entertaining but nowhere near as ambitious.\u2019 He added: \u2018Speaking personally, I was a little sad when, in Walliams\u2019 Gangsta Granny, we were told that among the old woman\u2019s vices, which included dribbling and farting: \u201cHer house was stuffed full of books and she was always trying to get Ben to read them, even though he loathed reading\u201d.\u2019 Horowitz said \u2018the idea that children automatically dislike reading or that books belong to a more fusty, ancient generation is patently absurd\u2019.

The surprise discovery could pave the way to ground-breaking new therapies for the devastating auto-immune disease ,which affects around 2.5 million worldwide. Scientists found that the anti-fungal agent miconazole and the steroid clobetasol both restored movement to mice paralysed by a rodent version of multiple sclerosis (MS). In laboratory tests, they prompted inactive mouse and human stem cells to regenerate myelin, the protective insulation-like coating around nerve fibres that is destroyed by the disease. Common creams used to treat athlete's foot and eczema could cure multiple sclerosis, scientists claim . Dr Robert Miller, of the US team from Case Western Reserve University who carried out the study, said the results marked a significant breakthrough. He said: 'It was a striking reversal of disease severity in the mice. 'The drugs that we identified are able to enhance the regenerative capacity of stem cells in the adult nervous system. 'This truly represents a paradigm shift in how we think about restoring function to multiple sclerosis patients.' Miconzanole is sold over the counter in most pharmacies as a cream to treat athlete's foot, while clobetasol cream is commonly prescribed to treat eczema. Although both drugs are widely used, a way must be found to use them safely as internal human treatments rather than creams or ointments before clinical trials can be considered. The researchers are confident this problem can be solved, but have warned patients not to jump the gun by using the drugs prematurely. Lead scientist Professor Paul Tesar, from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, said: 'We appreciate that some patients or their families feel they cannot wait for the development of specific approved medications, but off-label use of the current forms of these drugs is more likely to increase other health concerns than alleviate multiple sclerosis symptoms. 'We are working tirelessly to ready a safe and effective drug for clinical use.' MS is a condition of the central nervous system, where the coating around nerve fibres (called myelin) is damaged, causing a range of symptoms. The specific symptoms that appear depend upon which part of the central nervous system is affected and the job of the damaged nerve. People with MS might suffer fatigue, vision problems and difficulties with walking, but the condition is different for everyone. Symptoms can come and go and can vary greatly in terms of severity . There may be periods of relapse of varying length and severity. At present, there is no cure for MS but the symptoms can be treated. It is usually diagnosed in people aged 20 to 40, and it affects almost three times as many women as men. Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 2.5 million people have MS.

+{"article": "A virulent strain of bird flu continues to hammer the Midwest and the virus recently took its biggest toll yet after it hit a farm in Iowa that held nearly 10 percent of the state's egg-laying chickens. Poultry producers and scientists had been hoping warmer weather would knock down the deadly bird flu virus. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday that the H5N2 bird flu virus had been found at a farm in northwest Iowa's Osceola County - prompting a massive bird cull. Bird flu: Chickens stand in their cages at a farm near Stuart, Iowa. Discovery of the bird flu on an Iowa turkey farm has raised serious concerns that the bird killer could find its way into chicken barns in the nation's top egg-producing state and rapidly decimate the flocks that provide the U.S. with its breakfast staple . The confirmation means up to 5.3 million hens there must be destroyed in a state that produces one in every five eggs consumed in the country. Seven other Midwestern states have also been hit by the virus, dooming nearly 7.8 million turkeys and chickens since March. The virulent strain in question is the H5N2, a highly contagious virus that kills commercial poultry quickly once it gets into a barn. Yet the risk to the public is considered low and infected birds are being kept out of the food supply. So far, only two egg operations have been hit \u2014 the one in Iowa and one in Wisconsin. Except for a couple of backyard flocks, all the other cases in the Midwest have been at commercial turkey farms. Minnesota has had 28 turkey farms hit, far more than any other state. Turkey farm: In this photo provided by Bethany Hahn is a flock of turkeys at a Minnesota poultry farm. The country's poultry industry may have to live with a deadly bird flu strain for several years according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture . Precautions: Most commercial poultry barns are shut tight to keep the diseases out, and poultry farms with good biosecurity strictly limit who is allowed in - but is does not always protect poultry from bird flu . Officials say that's because Minnesota is the top turkey-producing state, and its thousands of lakes and ponds are attractive to migrating ducks and other waterfowl. H5N2 and other highly pathogenic strains have also been found since late last year among wild birds, backyard flocks and commercial farms in some western states and British Columbia. U.S. Department of Agriculture officials say the virus could be a problem for several years.

Mr Burns spoke to 3AW's Tom Elliott on Monday afternoon and said that while he didn't recall making such a comment, he apologised unreservedly if any offence had been caused.

He said he couldn't even begin to imagine what words of his might have been misconstrued but went on to tell Tom Elliot that he 'didn't say anything like accidental tourists, I wouldn't think'. 'I can't recall saying anything that I intended to be offensive to anybody on the other side of the game.' Mr Elliot told Mr Burns that he has heard the term 'terrorist' and 'jihadist' being used to describe Bachar Houli on numerous occasions at matches, however Mr Burns said he has never witnessed this. Bachar Houli (pictured) became the first Muslim man to play at top level AFL in 2006 . He said Mr Houli is a 'delightful man'.

It calculated that 94,872 residents and 42,424 employees live within the tsunami hazard zones of the three states.

A tsunami evacuation route sign in Nehalem, Oregon, just one of the Pacific Northwest communities in the path of a potentially deadly tsunami that could be similar to the one in 2011 that ravaged parts of Japan . Seventy-seven percent of the communities lying in the risk zone are equipped with the kind of geography and location to allow them the 15 to 25 minutes required for successful tsunami evacuation after a large-magnitude earthquake hits.

The password, 166816, is still being used by about 90 per cent of customers, researchers David Byrne and Charles Henderson disclosed on Wednesday during the annual RSA security conference in California. Henderson said that the unidentified vendor had been using the same default password since at least 1990, according to The Register. Researchers Charles Henderson (right) and David Byrne (left) said a global maker of cash registers has been using the same default password on the payment devices for more than two decades. This potentailly puts the devices at risk of being a target of a security breach . 'Nine out of 10 times when we see equipment from that manufacturer, 90 per cent of the time, this is the password,' he said. 'I actually saw this password really recently on a different manufacturer's device [by a customer] who thought the password was unique to them.' Hackers would need physical access to the payment devices, opening a panel of the device using a paperclip, to exploit it, according to The Register. This type of attack is uncommon and reportedly easy for malicious staff. For example, during the conference it was revealed that two individuals reportedly entered a major American retail store, unscrewed a server rack and walked out with the server leaving the store unable to process credit card payments, according to RT. While Henderson and Byrne did not name the vendor using the 166816 password, a Google search pointed to Verifone which connects around 27 million payment devices around the world, according to RT. On Thursday, Verifone said in a statement that all of its devices in the field came with the same default password, Z66831, according to CSO. The company also said the password can be found on the Internet with instructions for programming terminals. However, Verifone claimed sensitive payment information or personally identifiable information cannot be captured, even though the password has become known over the years. While Henderson and Byrne did not name the vendor, a Google search pointed to Verifone (file photo of one of the company's payment devices) The company said: 'What the password allows someone to do is to configure some settings on the terminal; all executables have to be file signed, and it is not possible to enter malware just by knowing passwords.' Its new products come with a 'pre-expired' password that has to be changed during installation set up, according to Verifone, and the company also said it encourages customers to change the default password, reported CSO. As retailers have increasingly battled security breaches in recent years, Target was at the center of the second-largest card breach at a U.S. retailer two years ago.

Stocks of the influenza vaccine are arriving a month later than expected as scientists have included protection against Influenza A strain H3N2 and Influenza B strain B/Phuket. The decision to include both was triggered by a spike in flu-related deaths in the northern hemisphere as the vaccine was not a good match to fight against the two types of flu. Stocks of the influenza vaccine are arriving a month later than expected as scientists have included protection against two new strains . High-risk groups - such as the very young and very old, and most indigenous Australians - will be able to access free, government-funded flu shots from April 20. Experts say the modified version of the vaccination is worth waiting for. But Dr Alan Hampson, who chairs the Influenza Specialist Group, said everyone should be getting the vaccine, which also provided protection against Influenza A strain H1N1. He said H3N2 and B/Phuket caused a spike in deaths in Europe and the US during the northern winter because the vaccine available did not provide the right buffer against the diseases. There was a spike in deaths related to H3N2 and B/Phuket in Europe and the US during the northern winter as the vaccine did not cover the strains . World health authorities realised that and modified the vaccine to be used in Australia this winter. 'Our vaccine now should be a really good match for the strains that are circulating globally and we certainly hope we can prevent more deaths per capita than they did,' Dr Hampson told AAP. 'In fact the vaccine that will be used in the next northern winter will be exactly the same as the one we'll be using over the next few weeks.' Dr Hampson said people should be booking their flu shots now, given the delay in stocks arriving. 'Even if people are not in one of the high-risk groups, they are probably coming into contact with people in their own families who are,' he said.

The show is called 'The Runner-Up,' a reference both to ths election and to his second-place finish in the second season of American Idol.

He won the Democratic primary when his chief rival, businessman Keith Crisco, died suddenly after a fall. Crisco was a former state secretary of commerce and a political veteran. Aiken is sketching out a second political life on the small screen, and lobbed some publicity for his show at Stern's gigantic audience \u2013 along with some slaps at Ellmers. 'You should see the second episode, because she\u2019s a bitch,' he said during the interview.

Nameless: Above, a gravestone at Honolulu's National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, marking the resting place of seven unknown Americans who died on board the USS Oklahoma . The military is acting now, nearly 75 years after the men died, because advances in forensic science and technology as well as genealogical help from family members have made it possible to identify more remains, said Lt. Col. Melinda Morgan, a Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency spokeswoman. The move is apparently a part of a new Pentagon policy on disinterring the remains of unknown troops. According to the new policy, bodies may be exhumed from Punchbowl or any other permanent American military cemeteries - but they can not be removed from any U.S. Navy vessel that is being used as a national memorial, like the USS Arizona which remains sunk and on display in Honolulu. The bodies of Marines and sailors lost at sea do not apply to this new effort. In order to disinter these large groups, researchers must also prove that they can identify at least 60 per cent of the group with supplied family DNA samples, medical and dental records. 'The secretary of defense and I will work tirelessly to ensure your loved one's remains will be recovered, identified, and returned to you as expeditiously as possible, and we will do so with dignity, respect and care,' Deputy Secretary of Defense Bob Work said in a statement. 'While not all families will receive an individual identification, we will strive to provide resolution to as many families as possible.' Officials plan to begin the work in three to six weeks, Morgan said. They aim to identify the remains of up to 388 servicemen within five years.

God Bless you and your family,' the pair are all smiles alongside trainer Freddie Roach. And speaking earlier in the week, Roach believes that his fighter has a better chance of beating Mayweather now than he did in 2010. Asked whether the 2010 or 2015 version of Pacquiao would have a better chance of victory against the unbeaten Mayweather, Roach told boxingscene.com : 'That is an interesting question because there are obviously trade-offs between the two versions of Manny. But I am convinced that the 2015 model is the more formidable fighter for a few reasons. 'Back in 2010, Manny was still growing into a welterweight. His first two welterweight fights were against Oscar De La Hoya in 2008 and Miguel Cotto in 2009 where he only weighed 142 and 144 pounds respectively, and in between he dropped down to 138 to fight Ricky Hatton. 'Floyd has been campaining as a welterweight since 2005 and weighed 150 in his fight against De La Hoya so that might have given Floyd an advantage. I still like Manny's chances in that fight but I think the Manny of today has a lot more in his favour. Pacquiao is better equipped to beat Mayweather now than he was in 2010, according to his trainer Roach . Mayweather is looking to extend his 47-fight unbeaten streak when he meets Pacquiao next month . 'In 2010 the two-year age difference between the fighters was not significant to either, but that's not true today.

+{"article": "Geoff Whitington, 63, from Ashford, Kent, was made so sick by obesity-related type 2 diabetes that he had been told he may need a leg amputated . It is a toe-curling moment that many have faced: the supermarket tantrum. And Geoff Whitington, pouting and shouting, performs it with aplomb. 'I don't want to!' is the cry when he is asked if he will try whelks. Despite the wobbly bottom lip and huffy, crossed arms, Geoff happens to be a 63-year-old father of four grown-up children. And in this bizarre episode of role-reversal, it is his sons, Anthony and Ian, who are gently \u2013 some might say valiantly \u2013 trying to broaden his palate. The problem will be all too familiar to anyone who has broached the subject of healthier eating with a parent who might not have the most up-to-date ideas about diet. But the Whitington boys are motivated by a matter of life and death. For years, Geoff was ill, made so sick by obesity-related type 2 diabetes that he had been told he may need a leg amputated. Turning round his health would mean changing the habits of a lifetime of poor food choices and no exercise. And Geoff resisted with a passion. While many would have admitted defeat in the face of his almost insurmountable stubbornness, the two brothers overhauled their father's health, and crucially, his attitude. And in doing so, they have undoubtedly saved his life. Anthony and Ian have helped their father shed six stone and now, two years after that tantrum in the supermarket, Geoff is a man transformed. He loves to cycle, never eats take-aways and counts kale and couscous among his favourite foods. Most remarkably, doctors say he is no longer diabetic \u2013 and he is off medication. The supermarket stand-off was caught on camera for a forthcoming film called Fixing Dad, a searingly honest but moving account of the Whitingtons' journey, which has already won coveted slots at film festivals. The brothers have a lifelong passion for film \u2013 Ian, 35, is a full-time film-maker \u2013 so they decided to document their battle to inspire others to do the same. Anthony, 37, says: 'He wasn't old, but Dad had given up on himself. He blamed himself for his illness but didn't think he could do anything about it. Getting a grown man to change his ways is difficult and there were times when it felt like it was pointless, but we knew we had to carry on. Just the thought of losing him spurred us on.' Luckily for Geoff, his sons are just as stubborn as he used to be, and their plan has been a huge success. 'The difference in Dad is incredible and he is proof that it's never too late,' says Anthony, a father-of-four from Ashford, Kent. 'Physically, he's gone from having to use crutches to get around to taking on 100-mile cycle challenges. Mentally he's a new person \u2013 he had retreated into himself and was probably depressed.'

Almost half of all Britons believe Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, right, should become Queen when Prince Charles accedes to the throne although 35 per cent believe she should be rewarded with a lesser title . Half of those polled believe that Camilla, right, does a good job of carrying out her official duties . Aides have always insisted the Duchess does not want to be known as Queen and intends to be known as Princess Consort instead.

Most people (42 per cent) said they had neither a positive or negative impression of Camilla, with 31 per cent saying they had a positive one and 23 per cent a negative one. But the survey of 1,830 people also showed that 44 per cent believed Camilla was well prepared to be the wife of the reigning monarch, 13 per cent thought she was badly prepared and the remainder had no opinion or did not know. Of those questioned, 50 per cent thought Camilla had carried out her duties as Duchess of Cornwall well - with 20 per cent saying she did this very well and 30 per cent fairly well. Only 6 per cent thought she had done badly in the role. Some 28 per cent had no opinion and 16 per cent did not know.

It appears to run in families, which makes it likely to be the result of a genetic mutation or deletion. Some degree of prosopagnosia is often found in children with autism and Asperger's Syndrome.

Now it has been reported that the Korean tech giant will be the main supplier of the A9 chips in Apple's upcoming iPhone range. Although this isn't the first time Samsung has manufactured parts for iPhones, it signals that the frosty partnership between the two may be thawing. Samsung will reportedly be the main supplier of the A9 chips in Apple's upcoming iPhone range. Samsung has previously supplied Apple with various iPhone parts, but following legal disputes, Apple shifted away from its rival and signed a monopoly deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) in 2013 . Apple relies heavily on other firms to produce the various components it uses in its iPhones and iPads. And for years, Samsung was a dominant member of this group. It produced the flash and working memory in the iPhone 4, for example, and was a substantial Apple chip partner until 2013. However, following legal disputes, Apple shifted away from Samsung and signed a deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) to produce the A7 seen in the iPhone 5S. Samsung has announced better-than-expected profits for the first quarter of 2015. A rising demand for memory chips is said to be helping offset a slump in the firm's smartphone sales. During a call on Tuesday, the electronics giant estimated an operating profit of 5.9 trillion won ($5.4 billion/\u00a33.6 million) between January and March. This beat analyst expectations and was up 11.5 per cent from the previous quarter. But this forecast was down 30.5 per cent from a year ago. It didn't cut Samsung off completely, though, and around 40 per cent of chips in the iPhone 6 are still made by the Korean giant or partners. But by handing the monopoly to TSMC, it directly affected Samsung's business. Reports of the A9 deal first appeared last year when a 'source familiar with the deal' told The Korea Times: 'Apple has designated Samsung as the primary supplier of its next chips powering iOS devices from 2016.' The deal is said to be worth 'billions of dollars.' From next year, this report continued Samsung will supply 80 per cent of Apple's supply of application processors, with TSMC supplying the remaining 20 per cent. Samsung then confirmed it was planning to mass produce its latest chips later this year. The Korean firm recently partnered with New York-based semiconductor experts GlobalFoundries. It was said to be this deal that appealed to Apple because it will help Samsung meet the demand for Apple's chips globally, and lets GlobalFoundries use Samsung's latest technology patents. As part of this deal, Bloomberg said Samsung will start making the A9 at its Giheung plant in South Korea, with additional orders going to Globalfoundries.

Chinese designers have developed an contraption called the Bike Washing Machine that contains a washing machine drum in its front wheel. When ridden, the pedalling motion causes the drum to rotate, churning your clothes inside like a traditional washer. Chinese designers have developed a washing machine so cyclists can clean clothes while exercising (above) A generator inside the bike also creates electricity which can be stored for future use. The designers, based at Dalian Nationalities University, do not say whether the bike will automatically fill and drain with water too. Instead, the detergent and water may need to be added and then drained before more water being added for a rinse cycle. They say, however, that the device could be a solution for those who want both a washing machine and an exercise bike but cannot find space for both. Alternatively it could also help shave a few pounds off your electricity bill by using pedal power to do the laundry. By changing the front wheel of the exercise bike into a washing machine drum it will spin as the user pedals . A generator attached to the pedals (shown above) also produces electricity which can be stored for later use . The invention could also find use in remote areas where people do not have access to reliable supplies of electricity. Students at the university are now building a prototype of the machine. The group submitted the design onto the website Tuvie,which allows designers to share their ideas. They said: 'Riding a bike is a popular exercise, washing laundry is something that you might do on daily basis or at least once a week, unless you keep buying new clothes and underwear, so why not combine them into a single useful equipment/appliance? The designers say the device is perfect for those struggling to find space for both a washing machine and an exercise bike .

It is not the first time cycling and the weekly wash have been combined. In 2011 Richard Hewitt, a design student at Sheffield Hallam University, announced he had developed a similar device that washes and dries clothes using pedal power. His Spincycle machine could be attached to the back of a tricycle.

HIV specialists and network security experts at University College London (UCL) made the disovery after creating a simulation of how the virus spreads . They worked together to build a model for this 'hybrid spreading' which accurately predicted patients' progression from HIV to AIDS in a major clinical trial - and say early treatment is key to staving off AIDS. Scroll down for video . Researchers creates a model 'hybrid spreading' which accurately predicted patients' progression from HIV to AIDS in a major clinical trial - and say the spread was similar to a computer virus . HIV infects CD4+ T-cells, which play a vital role in the immune system and protect us from diseases. As HIV progresses, it reduces the number of active T-cells in the body until the immune system cannot function correctly, a state known as 'acquired immune deficiency syndrome' or AIDS. Current World Health Organisation guidelines, which the UK government follows, recommend only beginning HIV treatment when the number of T-cells in the bloodstream falls below a certain level. However, the new model predicts that treatment should start as soon as possible after infection to prevent AIDS from developing in the long term. The teams noticed that the spread of HIV through the body using two methods - via the bloodstream and directly between cells - was similar to how some computer worms spread through both the internet and local networks respectively to infect as many computers as possible. The model was inspired by similarities between HIV and computer worms such as the highly damaging 'Conficker' worm, first detected in 2008, which has infected military and police computer networks across Europe and is still active today. Lead author Changwang Zhang, of UCL, said: 'HIV and Conficker have a lot in common. 'They both use hybrid spreading mechanisms, persist for a very long time and are incredibly difficult to eradicate. 'Our model enables us to explain these important properties and to predict the infection process.' Changwang's supervisor co-author Dr Shi Zhou said: 'Although the cybersecurity community organised an unprecedented collaboration to tackle Conficker, they still failed to eliminate Conficker from the Internet. 'HIV researchers face a similar problem. We hope that our new understanding of hybrid epidemics will help us to fight against Conficker and HIV.' Detailed sample data from 17 HIV patients from London were used to verify the model, showing that hybrid spreading provides the best explanation for HIV progression and highlighting the benefits of early treatment.

The Labour leader used a speech to say he will 'abolish' the 200-year-old rule for non-doms, which applies to around 116,000 people, claiming they make Britain an 'offshore tax haven for a few' and can 'no longer be justified'. But in January Mr Balls, the shadow chancellor, said: 'I think if you abolished the whole status then probably it ends up costing Britain money because there will be some people who will then leave the country.' Scroll down for video . Ed Miliband has pledged to scrap the controversial 'non-dom' status which allows millionaires to reduce their tax bil . The Labour leader visited Cheswick's Coffee shop in Rowley Regis in the West Midlands this afternoon . Mr Miliband argues that non-dom tests 'are not very rigorous' and can be granted to people who have a burial plot or property abroad . Non-domicile status allows people living and working in Britain to only pay tax on their UK income, but not earnings from overseas. They must prove that they regard a foreign country as their real home. But Mr Miliband argues that non-dom tests 'are not very rigorous' and can be granted to people who have a burial plot or property abroad. In a speech in Warwick today, Mr Miliband said that everyone who has made Britain their permanent home should pay full UK tax on all their income and gains. He pledged to abolish the non-dom status from April 2016. He told an audience at the University of Warwick: 'Why should there be one rule for some and another for everybody else? 'It is not fair. It is not just. It holds Britain back. We will stop it. The next Labour government will abolish the non-dom rule. 'And we will replace it with a clear principle: Anyone permanently resident in the UK will pay tax in the same way. 'The rules we will introduce are modelled on what other countries do. Real temporary residents, here for a brief period, will only have to pay tax on what they earn here . 'Because they will be paying their taxes in their place of permanent residence. But everyone else will have to pay tax on their worldwide income.'

In January shadow chancellor Ed Balls warned: 'I think if you abolished the whole status then probably it ends up costing Britain money because there will be some people who will then leave the country.' Mr Miliband said non-dom status results from a discredited belief that 'anything goes for those at the top and that what is good for the rich is always good for Britain'.

Robert F Kennedy Jr sparked controversy Tuesday when he compared childhood vaccinations to a holocaust. At a screening of the documentary Trace Amounts, the nephew of President John F Kennedy spoke out against a proposed bill in California which would make childhood immunizations mandatory - no matter what their parent's personal beliefs on the vaccines. The documentary purports that there is a connection between thimerosal - a chemical found in several childhood vaccines - and a rise in autism among American children - despite the majority of the scientific community dismissing any connection.

Action shot: Gary Saurage, 45, who runs the Gator Country wildlife park in Beaumont, Texas, was called out on Monday morning to catch a giant 400lb, 11ft-long alligator from a family's backyard pond . Saurage later reported that the gator was safely hauled out of the pond, although it took a bit of work as it was being particularly 'aggressive'. Art Williams, of Groves, was the one who spotted the gator in his garden over Easter weekend. 'My wife and I are just going for a walk, with our new dog, and there's that 11 foot alligator just about 12 feet from us,' Williams told KBMT News. Williams said he's used to alligators being in the area, which is why he built a fence to keep them away from the pond where his grandchildren canoe. But he said this gator was no match for him or his DIY barrier. All hands on deck: Saurage later reported that the gator was safely hauled out of the pond, although it took a bit of work as it was being particularly 'aggressive' Williams called on the help of Saurage to remove the massive animal, for everyone's safety. The beast was later confirmed as a male, around 35 to 40 years old. Saurage took the reptile back to his park to join more than 400 other alligators. He says there's no reason for people to fear the toothy lizards, as long as they keep a safe distance and never attempt to feed them. He points out that alligators can run 22 miles per hour on land and 'you can't run that fast.' Although it was big, Monday's catch wasn't Saurage's biggest.

Etan Patz 'is larger than his very little, important life,' Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said in closing arguments at the Manhattan murder trial of Pedro Hernandez. She asked jurors to convict Hernandez of murder, saying he was a calculated killer who committed a terrible crime and then spent three decades trying to hide from it.

Pedro Hernandez, left, is accused of killing 6-year-old Etan Patz, right, who vanished in 1979 . Hernandez confessed in 2012 in a case that has confounded law enforcement for decades. Etan's body was never found, nor was any trace of clothing or his belongings. He had never been considered a suspect - his name appears only once in law enforcement paperwork at the time Etan disappeared. The defense says the admissions are made up, the ravings of a mentally ill man who sees visions and has a low IQ. A teenage stock clerk at the corner shop, Hernandez knew there were children in and out of the store, and Etan had been there countless times, the prosecutor said. She said Hernandez saw Etan with a dollar and calculated he wanted a drink, so he asked him to the basement. 'Day after day he saw this beautiful little boy,' she said. 'One day, he acted on an impulse and did something terrible to this little boy.' She said the motive was sexual, and Etan likely fought back. 'The quickest and easiest way to shut him up and shut him up permanently was to choke him to death,' she said.

Stanley Patz, left, the father of Etan Patz, arrives for court on Wednesday, although his estranged wife Julie, right, hasn't been pictured at court in recent days . Illuzzi-Orbon said his first confession to a prayer group shortly after the boy disappeared was the most accurate - he was confessing to God, and he was trying to unburden himself. Prayer circle members testified that Hernandez made tearful admissions during a 1979 retreat that matched some of what he told authorities on video 33 years later: He gave a child a soda, took him to the store basement and choked him. Two said Hernandez also admitted abusing the boy; when talking to police, Hernandez denied molesting Etan. A former neighbor and his ex-wife also testified he told them about killing someone in New York.

The Premier League side, who beat champions Manchester City 2-1 on Monday night, have been reportedly targeted for a takeover by Josh Harris - an American businessman who already owns the Philadelphia 76ers NBA team and the NHL outfit the New Jersey Devils. But Parish, who has been at Palace since he and his consortium saved the club from the brink of financial collapse in 2010, has since insisted he would remain involved and that investment rather than a complete takeover was his preferred option. Jason Puncheon scored a second-half free kick as Crystal Palace beat Manchester City 2-1 on Monday . Palace chairman Steve Parish says Alan Pardew will have funds to improve the squad in the summer . And now he has given his reasons for why he believes extra funds are required, insisting the current set-up would allow manager Alan Pardew to bring in the desired summer transfer targets but that other areas require more investment. 'The only reason for us to get money in is to improve the infrastructure,' he told BBC London. 'There is no rush and we are in a good place. If it happens, it happens. We've done well enough that I think we can fund the player things we need to do out of our own resources. 'We are long overdue some ground improvements. They are very costly. We need to make sure we get that done. If that means bringing in other people, and they are the right people, then we'll do it.'

Hadas (not her real name to protect her identity), who now lives in the UK, had 'the cut' in Eritrea, where circumcision for girls is widely practiced, when she was just a few months old. She said: 'In my culture, it is believed that when the vagina is cut, the desire to have sex is cut as well and that sex is only something a woman does with her husband to have children.' 'Most people in Eritrea think that if a girl is cut, she will grow up to be a good girl; that she will not bring shame on her family and she will marry well. 'If a girl is not cut, they think she will grow up to be a \"slut\" - a girl who thinks about sex and will not be satisfied by one man.

'Most people feel this way in my country and it is only those who are educated that disagree with the practice of cutting.' Hadas' story reveals how entrenched the culture of FGM is Eritrea, which borders Sudan and Ethiopia, where the barbaric practice - the partial or total removal of external female genitalia for non-medical reasons - is even said to prevent women growing up to be clumsy. Girls are mutilated by someone with no medical training, often using instruments such as a knife, pair of scissors, scalpel or razor blade. Anaesthetic isn't used and the victims are often forcibly restrained. Hadas was too young to remember her ordeal and only found out the truth by hearing her parents arguing - as her father had not wanted her to be subjected to it. She said: 'My father was an educated and modern man who disagreed with the belief and culture of cutting. My mother was from a traditional family and from a different community of people to my father. 'My mother had taken me to be cut while my father was away on business, as she knew he would not have allowed it. I was cut and sewn up when I was just a few months old, and when my father found out he was furious.' 'The first time I heard about cutting was from overhearing my parents fight about it, which they did throughout my childhood.

They drew four of their last seven, the lifeless goalless stalemate at home to Birmingham a particular highlight. Instead of giving a shallow critique fuelled by sour grapes on Chelsea's title winners, maybe those fans should focus on the shortcomings of their own players, and in particular Mesut Ozil.

The German, celebrating the FA Cup win over Reading, needs to start performing to live up to his \u00a342m tag . I've enjoyed some of Ozil's recent performances, he's been sublime more than spectacular, but he's definitely been a joy to watch. And so as I sat down to watch Arsenal face Chelsea, I felt confident that Ozil could be the difference between the two teams. I also felt that Arsenal could win the game, and win it well. And that if they did win it well, it would put huge pressure on Chelsea in the run-in. I felt there would be a chance that a big result for Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday might just open the title door for the Gunners. But it wasn't to be.

A gifted schoolgirl hanged herself just weeks after scoring a string of GCSE A stars because she was depressed at being diagnosed with a mild form of autism, an inquest heard. School prefect Elspeth McKendrick, 16, was left shattered in 2012 when doctors diagnosed her with Asperger's syndrome. The Doctor Who and Sherlock fan, who was described by her mother as 'geeky', had desperately wanted to fit in at school and had built up a small circle of friends. Her parents said she was 'happy to be odd and eccentric' but was 'very much in denial' about her condition and felt unable to discuss it with anybody. Last August, just a week after going on a school trip as part of the National Citizen Service, the teenager was found hanged in her bedroom after leaving a note apologising to her family and telling how she wished she could open up to friends. The inquest in Heywood, Greater Manchester, heard how Elspeth, from Bury, had been an artistic and creative pupil at Tottington High School. She was an avid reader who always had a novel in her school bag and had already won a place at Manchester College of Art to study A levels. But her mother Rebecca Jackson, 47, told the hearing. 'She had told of problems socialising and making close friends. 'Although she had a lot of friends she also wanted to have a close best friend and she did not have that. 'There were behavioural issues and tantrums that were beyond my experience of normal teenage tantrums because, for Elspeth, things were black and white. Elspeth was very tech savvy and she enjoyed using the computer. 'It caused an awful lot of problems. We got woken up in the middle of the night at 2am when she was on the computer or at 4am when she was not sleeping. She was existing on four hours a night then. It was Elspeth's way or the high way.' In 2011 Elspeth went to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in Bury and was upset to be diagnosed with Asperger's the following year. Mrs Jackson said: 'She was very geeky and enjoyed a lot of things like Albert Einstein and she loved films and cinematography. 'There are a lot of film directors with Asperger's so it doesn't mean there is anything mentally wrong with you, just a difference in the way you think. 'I tried to present it in a positive light to her and was recommended a book about Asperger's and teenagers and it was really positive. 'I bought it for Elspeth and she tore it into shreds and then was very sorry and tried to sellotape it back together. She was very much in denial.'

The only other prisoner who rode in a police van with Freddie Gray on April 12 told investigators that he believed the 25-year-old was trying to hurt himself, according to a leaked affidavit . A prisoner who shared a ride to jail with Freddie Gray claims the 25-year-old was trying to injure himself inside a police van before he died from unexplained spinal cord injuries, according to a leaked police report. The report was leaked to the Washington Post under the proviso that the prisoner remains anonymous - raising questions about its accuracy and the favorable light which it shines on the Baltimore police force . In the documents, the unidentified prisoner says he was loaded into a police van after Gray on April 12, and apparently told investigators that he heard Gray 'banging against the walls' and 'intentionally trying to injure himself'. However, he claims he could not see what Gray was doing, since they were separated by a metal partition. The statement was cited in a warrant to search an arresting officer's clothing for possible traces of Gray's DNA. The Washington Post obtained the affidavit from a person who asked the prisoner, who remains jailed for violating a restraining order, not be identified for fears over their safety. Officials in Baltimore have warned protesters that the investigation into Freddie Gray's death will not be resolved by tomorrow - despite rumors to the contrary. City chiefs have been attempting to manage growing expectations they will immediately decide whether to prosecute six officers involved in the arrest of Gray who later died of injuries he apparently received while in custody. Authorities confirmed they plan to turn over findings of a police investigation into the death to a state's attorney by Friday. In the past week, Gray has become the new face of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement, with many believing his death was caused by police during or after the arrest. His death has not only prompted demonstrations in Baltimore, but in several cities across the nation. However, just how Gray sustained the life-ending injuries has remained unclear with both the Baltimore Police and Department of Justice revealing little of their respective on-going investigations. The assertion that Gray may have caused his own death in the back of the police van was quickly rejected by an attorney hired by his family. 'We disagree with any implication that Freddie Gray severed his own spinal cord,' attorney Jason Downs told the Post. 'We question the accuracy of the police reports we\u2019ve seen thus far, including the police report that says Mr Gray was arrested without force or incident.' And local reporters have also found inconsistencies with the leaked affidavit. According to WBAL reporter Jayne Miller, police originally said that the second prisoner in the van told investigators that Gray was 'mostly quiet'. Sources also told the station that by the time the second prisoner was in the van, Gray was unresponsive. Cell phone footage captured the moment Gray was arrested by police near a housing project in west Baltimore on April 12.

Subjects include Kim's incredible ability to drive a year as a toddler and his remarkable sailing prowess before he'd even reached double figures.

Sinfield was on the losing side on his debut for the Rhinos against Sheffield Eagles at Headingley in 1997 and he was powerless to prevent a repeat on his landmark occasion, with the Wolves running out 29-10 winners. The Rhinos were already trailing 20-4 when the former England skipper entered the action five minutes into the second half and it did not get much better as the Yorkshiremen came up with their worst performance of the season in front of a 17,430 crowd. Warrington Wolves forward Roy Asotasi crosses for one of his side's five tries on the night . Warrington had produced their best display in an 18-6 win over Leeds in March and they were again outstanding, with full-back Stefan Ratchford and second rower Ben Currie the pick of an impressive bunch. Leeds had an early chance when prop Adam Cuthbertson was held up over the line but then it was virtually all Warrington as they established a stranglehold on the game. Loose forward Ben Harrison was held up on his back before his back-row partner Currie produced a measured grubber kick on the last tackle to create a try for winger Gene Ormsby. Leeds Rhinos winger Kallum Watkins does brilliantly to touch down in the corner . It was then Harrison's turn to demonstrate his kicking skills to get his captain Joel Monaghan in for a second try, although there was a strong hint of a forward pass in the build-up. With scrum-half Richie Myler causing all sorts of problems for the Rhinos defence with his penetrative running, the visitors were good value for their 8-0 lead and it got even better for them on 23 minutes when prop Ashton Sims took hooker Mick Higham's pass near the line to go through a gaping hole for a third try. Ratchford was off target with his first two attempts at goal but it was third time lucky as he made it 14-0 and a Higham 40-20 kick enabled Warrington to maintain the momentum. Warrington forward Ben Harrison is tackled by Stevie Ward during a frantic contest at Headingley . Sinfield stayed on the bench throughout the first half but the introduction of forward Mitch Achurch helped perk up the Rhinos in the last 10 minutes and they pulled a try back in scintillating fashion when winger Kallum Watkins finished off a flowing move at the corner. The Leeds captain entered the action five minutes into the second half but his side were trailing 20-4 by then after a break by lively substitute Daryl Clark created the position for Ratchford to get Currie over for Warrington's fourth try. And there was no way back for Sinfield's men when Ormsby's neat offload enabled substitute prop Roy Asotasi to score his first try for more than 12 months.

The Swede reacted angrily to the defeat and said it was the worst refereeing display he'd ever seen . He was angered by suggestions his remarks were also derogatory to France as a whole and claimed his words had been 'twisted'.

Marseille playmaker Payet then received a two-game sanction after aiming expletives at the closed door of the match officials' dressing room following the goalless draw with Lyon, in which Lucas Ocampos' late strike was deemed not to have crossed the goal-line.

Police officers 'watched' as a group of teenagers desperately tried to save their friend who drowned in Hampstead Heath pond, it has been claimed. Moses Yitzchok Greenfeld, 19, from Stamford Hill, London, had been swimming with four friends as temperatures reached 25C when he got into difficulty. An eyewitness has said at least seven police officers stood on a bank and watched as the boys dived in and out looking for their friend. The teenagers were reportedly heard shouting to ambulance crews on the side, asking how long someone could survive under water as they scrambled around trying to save their friend. It is thought Mr Greenfield may have had a cardiac arrest because of the shock of jumping into the cold water. His body was eventually discovered five foot below the surface and 20ft from the water's edge just before 11pm on Wednesday - nearly six hours after he was reported in trouble at 5.30pm.

A man whose teeth were reduced to 'apple cores' has won \u00a330,000 in damages from his former dentist, after suffering more than a decade of dental neglect. Kevin Bowes lost several teeth, had four 'avoidable' root canal treatments and five 'avoidable' crowns fitted at the hands of Dr Nicholas Crees at his practice in Guisborough, North Yorkshire. The semi-retired teacher at a specialist children's unit said his life had been changed forever, revealing he will need years of remedial treatment to fix the extensive decay. The 53-year-old, from Guisborough, said: 'I feel completely let down by Dr Crees. 'I was devastated, I had no idea my teeth were in such a bad condition. 'He allowed my teeth to deteriorate so badly over the decade I visited him and all the time with a smile and a friendly demeanour which made you feel you were in good hands. 'How wrong I was.' His family had been patients of Mr Crees for more than 10 years when in January 2013, a friend suggested his wife visited a different dentist for a second opinion. And when Mr Bowes went to see the new dentist, he was given a devastating diagnosis.

'However I have been advised that my treatment does not end here and I am likely to need ongoing treatment for years. 'It's really knocked my confidence and has changed my life forever.' After the extent of the decay was revealed, Mr Bowes instructed specialist dental negligence solicitors, the Dental Law Partnership, which secured a \u00a330,000 payout following a two-year legal battle with Dr Crees.

'Fortunately he visited another dentist for a second opinion who immediately spotted the problem, otherwise, left untreated Mr Bowes may well have lost more of his teeth.'

An official at the International Monetary Fund reportedly admitted that he cannot envisage a successful conclusion to the country\u2019s bailout. Greece this week repeated threats to stop paying off its loan and default on its debt if Europe refuses to release more funds. Thomsen's prediction was made as the Greek government repeated previous threats that unless more bail out money was made available then it would stop paying back creditors . This would make it harder for the country to remain in the eurozone, although no state has ever left and there is no official exit process. Poul Thomsen, the IMF's Europe Director has been quoted by the Greek media as saying he could not see a successful conclusion to the country's current bail out.

+{"article": "A laser could be mounted on the International Space Station and used to shoot down pieces of space debris in Earth orbit, says a new paper. The system would use a telescope already mounted on the station to find and target pieces of debris up to 62 miles (100km) away. Powerful pulses from the laser would then push space junk into Earth\u2019s atmosphere, where it would burn up. Tokyo researchers have proposed a laser system to attach to the ISS. It would be used to shoot down pieces of debris in Earth orbit (artist's illustration shown). The system would have a range of 62 miles (100km) and could target things less than 0.4 inches (1cm) in size . The paper, by researchers at the Riken research institute in Tokyo, was published in Acta Astronautica. Their system would use the Extreme Universe Space Observatory\u2019s (EUSO) super-wide-field telescope on Japan\u2019s Kibo Experiment Module on the ISS. The laser, meanwhile, use bundles of optical fibres to produce powerful laser pulses - capable of both high power and high frequency, although exact figures were not given. Since the first object, Sputnik 1, was launched into space 53 years ago, mankind has created a swarm of hundreds of thousands of items of debris. The rubbish circling the planet comes from old rockets, abandoned satellites and missile shrapnel. There are around 22,000 objects in orbit that are big enough for officials on the ground to track and countless more smaller ones that could do damage to human-carrying spaceships and valuable satellites. One major source of debris in the past was a Chinese anti-satellite missile test in 2007 that left an estimated 150,000 pieces of junk in the atmosphere. Accidental events have also contributed to the problem. In 2009 for instance there was a major crash between a U.S. communications satellite and a defunct Russian military probe over Siberia. Combining these two instruments would create a system that could deorbit space debris down to the size of 0.4 inches (one centimetre). The impact of the laser beam on debris would create a force that reduced its velocity, causing it to fall into Earth\u2019s atmosphere and burn up. The group plans to deploy a small proof-of-concept experiment on the ISS, with a small, eight-inch (20-centimetre) version of the EUSO telescope and a laser with 100 fibres. \u2018If that goes well, we plan to install a full-scale version on the ISS, incorporating a three-meter [10ft] telescope and a laser with 10,000 fibres, giving it the ability to deorbit debris with a range of approximately 100 kilometers [62 miles],\u2019 said lead researcher Dr Toshikazu Ebisuzaki. Looking further into the future, the team said they could have a \u2018free-flyer\u2019 mission not attached to ISS in another orbit to shoot down debris. For example, such a system could be deployed in polar orbit at an altitude of about 500 miles (800km), \u2018where the greatest concentration of debris is found,\u2019 according to Dr Ebisuzaki. Without going into specifics, the team says their proposal could remove \u2018most\u2019 of the centimetre-sized debris in Earth orbit within five", "summary": "Tokyo researchers have proposed a laser system to attach to the ISS .

That same year, he had sex with a woman too inebriated to give her consent, prosecutors say.

The decision to give Williams a suspended jail sentence and 5 years probation - which Judge Robert E.

Having joined the Turin outfit last summer, several months after being sacked by AC Milan, Allegri has hardly put a foot wrong, coaching Juve to a commanding lead in the race for the Scudetto. Allegri, who replaced Antonio Conte last summer, and Juve will go after another three points on Saturday when they host Empoli. Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri instructs his side from the touchline, who are top of Serie A . 'When I arrived, I feared that I would not be able to win the hearts of the fans because I had promised to achieve that with results,' Allegri told his club's official website. 'I have forgiven the initial scepticism because it was right to do that. What happened last July to Juventus was a shock (Conte's resignation). 'We have worked and are having a good season that we need to conclude positively, seeing as we have not won anything yet.' Juve are 14 points clear of Roma at the top of the standings with 10 games remaining. If they win the league, it will be a fourth straight Scudetto for the club. Carlos Tevez (centre) scored twice as Juventus cruised past Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League . Allegri has also guided the Bianconeri into the Champions League quarter-finals and the Coppa Italia semi-finals. Roma, who are just one point clear of Lazio, host fellow Champions League hopefuls Napoli on Saturday. Lazio carry a six-match winning run in Serie A with them to Sardinia to face Cagliari. The Biancoceleste hold the last Champions League qualifying spot and are four points clear of nearest rivals Sampdoria. Samp make the trip to Florence to take on Fiorentina also in fine fettle after winning their last four league games. France's Paul Pogba has been an integral part of the Juventus side 14 points clear at the top of Serie A . Fiorentina are two places and two points behind Saturday's opponents and are unbeaten at home in Serie A since November 9. Ninth-place Genoa, with just two points collected since since February 15, face Udinese at the Luigi Ferraris stadium. AC Milan, who beat Cagliari 3-1 before the international break, square off against Palermo at La Favorita. Inter Milan lock horns with bottom-side Parma at the San Siro with the Nerazzurri desperate to snap a six-match winless run in all competitions. Rafael Benitez's Napoli side need to beat Roma to realistically qualify for the Champions League . Atalanta will try to give Edy Reja his first victory when they host Torino. The Bergamo club has not won since February 1. Cesena, with just one triumph away from home all season, travel to Verona to face Hellas.

Many Britons have given up on their dream of owning a home amid high house prices and poor pay rises, a study shows. It found that just four in 10 renters (43 per cent) aged 20 to 45 are saving for a deposit to buy a home, compared to almost half a year ago (49 per cent). According to research from Halifax, three-quarters of UK renters also fear they will never be able to afford to buy their own house. This rises to eight in 10 for Londoners, where house prices have risen by double-digits in recent years. The mortgage lender\u2019s report, called Generation Rent, said the data \u2018strengthens the view\u2019 that more people may be giving up on the idea of owning their own home and are instead accepting the idea of long-term renting. They said if people believe buying a house is completely unobtainable, \u2018a lower level of homeownership will become the new normal\u2019 and \u2018the presumption that the UK is obsessed with homeownership may soon become a myth\u2019. The survey found the three most common barriers to home ownership were the size of the deposit needed, high property prices and low incomes. Non-homeowners said they would be willing to save for about five years and four months to save for a deposit. But even then, owning a home remains out of reach for many. Government schemes such as Help to Buy have enabled people to get on or move up the property ladder with a low deposit. Scroll down for video . But while half of people believed this had a positive impact, 8 per cent believe this had a negative impact, amid fears it has fuelled demand, pushing up prices. Three-quarters of those surveyed also thought banks were reluctant to lend to first-time buyers. Figures recently released by the Council of Mortgage Lenders showed the number of first-time buyers getting on the property ladder last year reached its highest levels since 2007.

But Craig McKinlay, mortgages director at Halifax, said: \u2018While there has been an increase in first-time buyers in the last 12 months, at the same time there is also a growing group of young people who believe they won\u2019t be able to get a mortgage. \u2018The difference between the reality and their perception needs to be addressed urgently if we are to prevent people from giving up on getting on the housing ladder.\u2019 The survey questioned 40,000 people aged 20 to 45.", "summary": "Just four in 10 renters aged 20 to 45 are saving for a deposit to buy a home .

With a 'megadrought' forecast to hit the US in the coming decades, parched states are turning to increasingly radical solutions to fill their reservoirs. Arizona is leading the way with plans to create artificial rain clouds by flying planes over the Rockies, and seeding the sky with silver iodide . The process of cloud seeding was first proposed in the 1940s at the General Electric labs in Schenectady, New York. Two decades later, the Central Arizona Project and the Salt River Project invested in research to make it a reality.

Since 2007, CAP has put about $1 million toward research happening in other states to increase the supply of water in the Colorado River system. Water in the air, even in dry areas, can be transformed into ice crystals by using planes to seed the atmosphere with chemicals such as silver iodide or dry ice . If it seems like it never stops raining, blame the Russians. Or even the North Koreans. CIA chiefs fear hostile nations are trying to manipulate the world's weather, a conference heard in February. A leading academic told how he got a mysterious phone call asking whether foreign countries could be triggering droughts or flooding. Professor Alan Robock, from Rutgers University in New Jersey, said: 'Consultants working for the CIA rang and said we'd like to know if someone is controlling the world's climate would we know about it? 'Of course they were also asking - if we control someone else's climate would they then know about it.' The professor is one of many scientists from around the world are actively looking at manipulating the weather as a way of combating climate change. Professor Robock told the callers that any attempts to meddle with the weather on a large scale would be detectable. The system works on the premise that rainfall takes place when supercooled droplets of water form ice crystals. As a result they become too heavy to remain suspended in the air, and fall, often melting on their way down to form rain. Water in the air, even in dry areas, can be transformed into ice crystals by seeding the atmosphere with chemicals such as silver iodide or dry ice.

Cobbles on the road, which runs alongside the Bristol Floating Harbour and dates back to the 19th century, will be lifted from their current place and cut in half before being relaid again.

Maggie Shapland, a member of the Bristol Industrial Archaeological Society, has questioned what the work will do to the appearance of the historic harbourside. She said: '12,000 cobbles have been lifted. They are being cut in half and re-laid so that there is a flat surface. The history of the area dates back to the 19th century when Bristol Floating Harbour was built . 'It has apparently been requested by the cyclists despite the fact that it is a harbourside walk and not a designated cyclist route. 'This is a massive job, must have cost a fortune since the cobbles are hard to cut and will totally change the appearance of the area.' The work is part of the council's and the Cycling Ambition Fund's overall vision of making the city more attractive for users. Ms Shapland added that the area is Grade II listed, and she did not believe the council had obtained the proper permission before starting the work.

+{"article": "If there's someone who isn't scared to show her colourful side in these times of taupe and elephant breathe, it is celebrated interior designer Abigail Ahern. Now the best-selling author is on a mission to spread her colourful ethos with her new style bible, aptly named Colour. 'The ability of colour to transfrom surroundings, to excite, inspire, tantalise and calm, is second to none!' enthuses Ahern, who says walking into her own colourful home gives her a 'squishy feeling of contentment' everyday. Abigail Ahern described the colours used by Kelly Wearstler in her Malibu beachhouse as 'the most beautiful and complex I\u2019ve ever seen' Ahern says of this Miami home: 'Inspired by a natural palette \u2013 silvery greys, driftwood taupes, watery greens and storm cloud greys \u2013 it\u2019s what you might call glammed-up neutrals. I adore!' The designer says: 'I assure you white hallways wouldn't have the same effect!' So her message to anyone looking to transform their home is to ditch the beige, stop procrastinating and be bold with colour. The inspirational photographs in the book, which Ahern describes as displaying a 'virtuosic talent of colour', come from homes across the world. But if recreating these stylish spaces seems an overwhelming task, in an extract from her new book, here are the designer's top ten tips to colour confidence. 'You don\u2019t have to overdose on colour to take your pad to the next level. Layer on texture instead,' says Ahern of this look . 'The soft gold kitchen cabinets in Jean-Louis Deniot\u2019s Parisian pad (opposite) left me speechless. To master the metallic look, bear in mind that there is a fine line between adding pieces that instantly brighten a room and going overboard so that your space begins to feel like a nightclub,' says Ahern . 1. Start by picking a colour for your biggest room \u2013 say your living room or kitchen. Choose a hue that feels beautiful and inspiring, and true to what you love. Build on this to create a limited palette of colours for your entire home, using different combinations of those colours in each room. 2. Use an existing feature in your pad to inspire the basis of your colour scheme. This could be a view from the window, a work of art or any favourite item you own. 3. Think about what you want from your home to communicate to the outside world. No one will be talking about your beige-on-beige home, so go a little crazy. Be reckless, I say! The more your confidence grows, the more you\u2019ll feel like experimenting with colour. 4. Be brave! To start with, decorating with colour can seem like a daunting task. Colour behaves differently according to where you put it. The effect changes again once you add lighting, pattern, texture and greenery into the mix. I think this is why people favour whites over any other colour group, as they distort less when other elements are thrown into the mix. However, to me, this is a bit like decorating by numbers.

His death comes less than two years after he was given a second chance at life following a heart transplant at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.

His story made headlines after the boy was initially refused a transplant because doctors said he would not be compliant with the treatment . He had been given just six to nine months to live but the hospital initially refused to put him on the waiting list for a new organ because they thought he would be 'non-compliant' with the treatment. Patients can be disqualified from getting a transplant if a hospital doubts they'll stick to the medication regimen after the operation. At the time, the hospital said that Stokes had failed to take his medication in the past, so his history of non-compliance meant he was not put on the waiting list. But family and friends alleged that his low school grades and brushes with the law were the real reason he had been ruled out. Stokes' mother, Melencia Hamilton, told reporters that her son, who wore a court-ordered monitoring device, had been stereotyped as a troubled teen. Following pressure from national media coverage, the boy's family and civil rights groups, the hospital backpedaled in August 2013, and the teenager received a new heart.

'No protection': Paul Nungesser is suing Columbia University for allowing Emma Sulkowicz to parade the school and take campus-provided transport with her mattress in protest against him, calling him a rapist . The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, three days after a judge tossed out another gender-based lawsuit brought by a male student against Columbia University. Defendants include the school, its board of trustees, President Lee C. Bollinger and Professor Jon Kessler. The lawsuit sought unspecified damages. 'Columbia University's effective sponsorship of the gender-based harassment and defamation of Paul resulted in an intimidating, hostile, demeaning ... learning and living environment,' the lawsuit said. Roger Hornsby, a Columbia spokesman, said the school had no comment. Email messages requesting comment from Bollinger and Kessler were not immediately returned. In his lawsuit, Nungesser said a Columbia-owned website had presented as fact that he sexually assaulted Sulkowicz, a senior majoring in visual arts. It said that the school allowed Sulkowicz to carry a mattress into classes, the library and campus-provided transportation as part of her senior thesis, that Kessler approved the 'Mattress Project' for her course credit and that Sulkowicz's pledge to carry her mattress to graduation may prevent Nungesser and his parents, who'd like to fly from Germany, from participating in graduation ceremonies. 'Day-to-day life is unbearably stressful, as Emma and her mattress parade around campus each and every day,' the suit said. As a result of publicity that resulted in media reports in 35 countries, the lawsuit said, Nungesser 'has been subjected to severe, pervasive ... and threatening behavior by other Columbia students, believing that Paul is a `serial rapist,' whenever Paul has appeared at university activities.'

The complaint also said he wants to stay in the United States, where he has been dating a girlfriend for over a year, and is seeking consulting work in New York, though job prospects have been 'severely jeopardized' by the school's support of Sulkowicz.

But Louis van Gaal's side have hit form at the right time, while the current Premier League champions seem to have blown their chances of retaining their title after crushing defeats at Burnley and Crystal Palace. Since City beat United 1-0 last November, plenty of players have improved, some have faded, while both Van Gaal and Manuel Pellegrini have tinkered with their systems. Here, Sportsmail looks at how a composite XI of the sides might take shape, choosing the 4-2-3-1 formation both teams seem to favour. The Manchester United and Manchester City composite Xi ahead of the derby - selected by Sportsmail . Louis van Gaal (l) and Manuel Pellegrini's (r) sides are in contrasting form going into the Old Trafford clash . Goalkeeper - David de Gea . Just gets the gloves ahead of Joe Hart. A very close call, especially given the Englishman's form over recent weeks, but the athletic Spaniard edges it. David de Gea edges out Joe Hart for the goalkeeper slot and has been in fine form at Old Trafford this season . Right back - Pablo Zabaleta . Form has been patchy this term but is the best right back either club can boast. Manuel Pellegrini may opt for the more defensive Bacary Sagna, but he should not do so if only so we can see Zabaleta renew acquaintances with Marouane Fellaini, who elbowed him in the face last season. Pablo Zabaleta hasn't been at his best but is the best right back either club can boast at the moment . Centre back - Vincent Kompany . Like Zabaleta, not had the best of seasons but remains far above anything United currently have at centre-half. Should be coming into his best years but appears to be going backwards. That said, would be some dip in form to see him miss the cut. Vincent Kompany - pictured looking dejected after the defeat by Crrytal Palace - is still the No 1 choice . Centre back - Chris Smalling . Impressive in recent weeks before illness, keeping the likes of Harry Kane and Daniel Sturridge quiet. Deserves his chance to rectify his derby disaster, when he was red-carded at the Etihad in November. Chris Smalling was sent off in the last Manchester Derby in November and will be looking to make amends . Left Back - Gael Clichy . Both clubs may strengthen at left back in the summer although United will want more from Luke Shaw. Clichy has done well to keep out Aleksandar Kolarov for long periods and is a better left back than Daley Blind, despite the versatile Dutchman's sterling performances there recently. Both United and City will be looking to strengthen at left back this summer but for now Gael Clichy is best fit .

Last week, UK Oil & Gas Investments (UKOG) boasted it had discovered a \u2018world class potential resource\u2019 beneath the Home Counties. The oil exploration company claimed analysis of a well near Gatwick Airport suggested 100 billion barrels of oil lay beneath the Weald Basin, covering Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and Kent. UK Oil & Gas Investments has backtracked on its claims the UK could be sitting on an oil reserve larger than what has been extracted from the North Sea and Kuwait. Above, the company's test oil well at Horse Hill . Sceptics immediately queried the bold claims \u2013 as the Daily Mail reported \u2013 but UKOG\u2019s millionaire chairman David Lenigas insisted at the time that the oil would create thousands of jobs, saying: \u2018If you own a farm or land in the Weald, there\u2019s a pretty good chance there\u2019s a bucket-load of oil under there.\u2019 Now the firm has been forced into an embarrassing U-turn, admitting that it cannot be sure how much crude lies beneath the region \u2013 if, indeed, there is much at all. UKOG and a consortium of other oil firms hold a licence for just 55 square miles in Surrey and Sussex, a tiny fraction of the Weald Basin. But after finding oil in the area, it scaled up its findings across the whole 1,100-square mile Weald area.

Yesterday, after being instructed to give more details by the London Stock Exchange, it issued a \u2018clarification\u2019, admitting the oil should not yet be considered as \u2018prospective resources or reserves\u2019. It said further drilling and well testing was needed before it could say how much oil existed on its own site \u2013 let alone surrounding areas \u2013 and what could be recovered from the ground. David Lenigas has been criticised on the past for exaggerating his companies' successes to drive up share prices . Even then, it seems unlikely it could estimate how much lies beneath the whole region, adding: \u2018The company has not undertaken work outside its licence areas sufficient to comment on the possible OIP (oil in place) in either the approximate 1,100 square miles or the whole of the Weald Basin.\u2019 Brenda Pollack, of Friends of the Earth, said: \u2018UKOG has backtracked on the wild claims it made last week and admitted that it has no idea how much oil is under the Sussex Weald. \u2018This is yet another example of the potential for shale oil and gas being overhyped by an industry", "summary": "UK Oil & Gas Investments described discovery as 'world class' last week .

Eyewitnesses said Christian had been handcuffed and must have somehow got one hand free to fire a gun.

The club's record scorer has not been spotted at his old stomping ground since his surprise appearance appeared at last month's general meeting to see the board which axed him as boss swept out of power. It was a fleeting visit as the 53-year-old crept into the ground just moments before shareholders gave Dave King's bid for power their blessing, before hurrying away afterwards. Ally McCoist will be welcome back to the club 'with open arms' according to club legend John Brown . McCoist was removed from the manager's office back in December as relations with the old board crumbled and has spent the four months since on garden leave. The terms of his contract mean the nine-in-a-row favourite cannot return until his 12-month notice period expires. But Brown insists King's team will never turn their back on a man who struck 355 goals in Light Blue - even if his tenure as manager ended in disappointment as Hearts romped towards the Scottish Championship title. The former Dundee manager, himself, was made an outcast under the old regime after branding former directors Sandy and James Easdales 'rats' but along with former skipper John Grieg, he has now joined King in the directors box for home matches. McCoist is Rangers record scorer but was axed as manager amid speculation surrounding the clubs future . Brown - helping to promote the Rangers First fans group - said: 'I know what Ally went through as manager. I worked under him when Craig Whyte was in charge. 'I knew the problems he had dealing with Whyte and things never improved after that. 'If you don't have the man at the top of the tree working with you then it is always going to be a hard shift. It proved to be that way and it took its toll on Ally. 'But the Rangers fans love Ally and I'm sure in time he will be welcomed back at the club with open arms. 'People can criticise the football played at the time but remember, he was dealing with the worst board in Rangers' history. To work under those circumstances must be difficult. 'Ally will be back in there at some stage and I know it will be sooner rather than later. 'He has got Rangers in his blood and is loved by the supporters for what he did during nine in a row. Whether they were critical over his term as manager or not, they remember what he gave to the club.' John Brown says that the fans love McCoist and he'd always be welcomed back at Ibrox . Brown was a long-term critic of former chief executive Charles Green and the men who followed him onto the board. But he has no issue with King becoming the club's new ruler.

It follows a provocative speech by Argentinian president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, prompting the Foreign Office to summon her ambassador for a dressing down. Buenos Aires responded by accusing three British oil firms of working without permission. The Argentine government said it was taking legal action against three British and two US companies for \u2018exploration activities for fossil fuels on the Argentine continental shelf without obtaining the corresponding authorisation\u2019. The legal complaint listed Rockhopper Exploration, Premier Oil, Falkland Oil and Gas Limited and US firms Noble Energy and Edison International \u2013 accusing them of sending a semi-submersible rig to explore a basin 120 miles north of the islands \u2018subjected to the illegitimate British occupation\u2019. Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (centre) poses with veterans of the 1982 Falklands War, during the commemoration of the 33rd anniversary of the conflict last week .

Last night Foreign Secretary Mr Hammond said: \u2018Cristina Kirchner\u2019s threats against those who do business with the Falkland Islands are as hollow as they are illegal. The islanders have a perfect right to develop their oil and gas industry \u2013 and they can rely on us to protect them from Argentinian bullying as they do so.\u2019 Alicia Castro, Argentine ambassador to the UK, was summoned by the Foreign Office on Wednesday.

But they were shocked when an organiser told white people and men \u2018not to come\u2019 as it was only open to BME [black and minority ethnic] women. Bahar Mustafa, student union Welfare and Diversity Officer at Goldsmiths University in London, sparked anger when she banned men and white people from a 'diversity' meeting . The union eventually backed down after a backlash from students, one of whom described the exclusive policy as \u2018patronising beyond belief\u2019. The event, held on Wednesday, was organised by welfare and diversity officer Bahar Mustafa, who said she hoped to persuade academics to broaden courses to include more material relating to minority groups.

Replacing Suarez was always going to be a near-impossible task, but Liverpool fans would have started the season quietly confident that the quality was there to collectively make up for the Uruguayan's absence.

With just seven games of the season left Liverpool have scored just 45 goals - compared to 84 at the same stage last season - and their top scorers - Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson and Steven Gerrard - have scored six goals each. To put that into context, only Crystal Palace (Dwight Gayle and Mile Jedinak - four) and Sunderland (Adam Johnson and Steven Fletcher - four) have top scorers with fewer Premier League goals than Liverpool. while Aston Villa's top scorers Christian Benteke and Gabriel Agbonlahor have also only managed six each. What the stats clearly show is that Liverpool have not filled the void left by Suarez, they are missing a Harry Kane (19 goals), a Diego Costa (also 19), a Sergio Aguero (17), even a Charlie Austin (16 goals) - and it has cost them dearly. Harry Kane (centre) didn't score against Burnley on Sunday, but has 19 Premier League goals this season . Diego Costa is the joint top scorer in the Premier League with 19 goals in his first season in England . Liverpool fans would argue that in Sturridge, who scored 21 league goals last term, they do have a player capable of scoring 20+ goals a season - and they are right. The England striker has had a frustrating season due to various injuries, and that is unfortunate, but Liverpool's others goal threats - Raheem Sterling, Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert - simply haven't met the standards set by the SS last season.

Ramsey's QPR go to the home of Sherwood's Villa for a match that could see them out of the bottom three . A match of this magnitude is what these two English coaches craved during years working together at Tottenham Hotspur, probably believing they would be united in battle. A quirky sequence of events has pitted them on opposite sides instead. Sherwood came close to the QPR job when Harry Redknapp resigned, but Paul Lambert was sacked in the same period and Aston Villa placed the call. Ramsey looked the unlikely choice at Loftus Road but guided QPR to their first away Premier League victory this season at Sunderland, earning the reins until the summer. A second win on the road at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday means QPR can go above Villa with three points on Tuesday night, plunging Sherwood\u2019s team into the relegation zone.

'I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo,' she sang, 'and showed 'em what I got\u2026' (Actually, when the song became a hit she was in straitened financial circumstances and working in a sweetshop in Ilford, Essex, so instead of moving like Harlow she could have been singing about moving to Harlow.) One of the most irritating lyrics in the song - it has many - is when she sings about the 'Isle of Greece', as if she were discussing the Isle of Man or the Isle of Wight. Don't take this the wrong way, America, but is there anybody in your country with a geography O-level to their name? This may come as a surprise to our transatlantic cousins but Greece has rather more islands in its portfolio than one - in fact there are more than 6,000, most of them uninhabited. The number of inhabited islands is counted at anything from 166 to 227 (depending on the definition of 'inhabited' I suppose). The view of the blue waters of Lourdas Bay, Kefalonia, a stunning Greek island untainted by the masses . I often wonder why Greece doesn't sort out its economic problems by selling off some prime Mediterranean real estate - how many uninhabited islands does one country really need? Out of the six biggest Greek islands, even Americans will recognise two: Crete - the biggest - and Rhodes (fourth biggest). I'm guessing two will be unknown to us all: Euboea (second biggest) and Chios (fifth); and two will sound familiar Lesbos (third) and Kefalonia (sixth). You will probably know Kefalonia because this was the setting for Louis de Berni\u00e8res's novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin and, in direct contravention of usual Hollywood policy, was where the movie was actually filmed. Kefalonia, it has to be said, has been a little bit reluctant to play the Captain Corelli card too freely in the cause of attracting tourists. Great book, reasonable film (despite the fact Nicolas Cage, who played Corelli, was woefully miscast) but you can see why the Kefalonians were not wholly thrilled to bits by either. It took probably the two worst events in the island's history - the brutal massacre of Italian troops in 1943 and the awful earthquake of 1953 - and used them as grist to the story's romantic mill. Kefalonia is perhaps best known as the setting for Louis de Berni\u00e8res's novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin . The 2001 film adaptation starred Nicholas Cage and Penelope Cruz but focussed on negative events . Kefalonia, however, is simply stunning - an absolute gem. I had visited Zante, the neighbouring island, and wasn't impressed. It has some nice beaches but it has been tarnished by tourism of the cheap and nasty sort - lots of scuzzy booze clubs where young Brits go to behave badly. Kefalonia, on the other hand, has remained relatively pristine. This has probably much to do with the fact that its airport is of a size that would find it difficult", "summary": "Kefalonia is stunning and doesn't play the Captain Corelli's Mandolin card .

The Australian man told consulate staff he would be giving the boy to some friends in India 'who were unable to conceive a child', according to the report.

Parts of its main building collapsed from explosions with workers still inside, according to at least five eyewitnesses and officials. According to the medical center in Hodeida, at least 35 workers were killed, many of them crushed by the rubble or burned to death.

+{"article": "Experts said the rise in the number of reported rapes and sexual offences was due in part to high profile historic cases like Jimmy Savile's . A surge in the number of sex attacks reported to police has fuelled the first rise in recorded crime for more than a decade. Nearly 3.8million crimes were recorded by police last year, an increase of 2 per cent from 2013, figures released yesterday revealed. And a record number of rapes and other sex crimes were logged \u2013 up by a third (32 per cent) to 80,200, or 220 a day. But experts say the rise \u2013 the first since 2003-04 \u2013 was partly because victims were 'more willing' to report sex crimes, including historical ones, and police were more likely to take complaints seriously, in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal. Fay Maxted, chief executive of the Survivors Trust, which represents more than 130 rape and sexual violence charities, said: 'Under-reporting is a real problem in sexual offence cases. 'One of the effects of Operation Yewtree, in the wake of Savile, has been it has brought sexual cases to the fore. The convictions of Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall have encouraged people to feel justified in coming forward.' The Office for National Statistics, which published the data, said the rise was also due to police recording complaints more accurately after accusations of 'fiddling' figures to meet targets. A police watchdog recently found a fifth of crimes were not being logged properly. The latest ONS figures showed that the number of murders and manslaughter cases in England and Wales has fallen to its lowest level for 38 years. Police recorded 515 homicides last year, 37 fewer than in 2013. But the number of rapes recorded was the highest ever at 26,703, which is an average of 73 attacks every day. Rapes at knifepoint were up by 31 per cent to 311 attacks and there were 53,559 other sexual offences recorded. Violent offences also jumped by 21 per cent to nearly 741,000. The ONS report said of the overall rise in recorded crime: 'This is the first increase since 2003-04 but needs to be seen in the context of the renewed focus on the quality of crime recording.' The high-profile convictions of Rolf Harris (left) and Stuart Hall (right) have made victims feel more confident about coming forward, said campaigners . The number of crimes logged by police is still 20 per cent lower than in 2008-09 \u2013 under the last Labour government. The picture was complicated by figures from the Crime Survey of England and Wales, which found a 7 per cent fall in overall crime to 6.9million incidents, the lowest level since 1981. The survey, which looks at people's experiences of crimes, includes incidents not reported to police. But some crimes, such as bank and credit card frauds, are left out, distorting the true rate of offending.

A standard supercar can cost around \u00a3250,000, with the exterior paint alone costing up to \u00a310,000, while some of the industry's more sought-after vehicles can expect to sell for millions at London's prestigious car auctions.

An unnamed 30-year-old former Marlborough School student filed the lawsuit against Joseph Koetters, who taught English at the Hancock Park school which charges $35,000-per-year. The lawsuit alleges that when Koetters was in his early-to-mid 30s he took part in a yearlong sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student, which began in the 2000-2001 school year. Joseph Koetters, a former English Teacher at Marlborough School in Los Angeles, is being sued by an unnamed 30-year-old former student who alleges that he sexually abused her . In the lawsuit, unnamed teachers and school officials are held responsible for not ending the relationship, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Marlborough ignored allegations against Koetters at the two previous schools he had worked at, the lawsuit claims. He spent time working at Pasadena's Polytechnic School and Calabasas' Viewpoint School. Marlborough officials are accused of ignoring complaints made by other female students during his time working at the school. The former teacher was arrested in February and charged with two counts of oral copulation of a person under 18 and two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object, all of which allegedly took place during his time at Marlborough. Koetters pleaded not guilty and could face up to five years in prison if he is convicted. The woman who filed the civil lawsuit is the same one mentioned in the criminal case, her attorney David M. Ring told the Los Angeles Times. The lawsuit alleges that when Koetters was in his early-to-mid 30s he took part in a yearlong sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student, which began in the 2000-2001 school year. The lawsuit claims that unnamed teachers and staff members did not stop the relationship or properly discipline Koetters . Koetters also allegedly impregnated the woman, who then had a miscarriage, according to the criminal lawsuit. The alleged victim of both lawsuits spoke to police in July after a different former Marlborough student wrote an online essay accusing the school of not properly acting upon her allegations of Koetters' inappropriate contact with her. Mikaela Gilbert-Lurie's essay, published on xoJane, revealed an inappropriate relationship that Koetters instigated with her in 2011 while she was a 16-year-old junior. In her essay, Gilbert-Lurie said that Koetters crossed the student-teacher boundary when she asked to interview him for the school newspaper. He agreed, replying 'It's a date' to her email. Later when they met up outside the school, she wrote that he dodged her questions and turned the conversation towards romantic poetry, saying he could lend her one of his favorite books.

A Washington, DC-based company called United Space Structures wants to create a new space station. Their giant cylinder (shown, with the ISS and Space Shuttles illustrated) could apparently replace the ISS.

Artificial gravity is created by spinning the station 4.22 times per minute around its vertical axis, creating downward pressure via the centrifugal force to keep objects - including humans - on the floor. The force would be the same as the gravity experienced on Earth. Meanwhile on the ISS, the station is in constant freefall towards Earth as it orbits the planet - so the astronauts live in \u2018zero-gravity\u2019. While the main cylindrical body would spin in one direction, the top dome-shaped section would spin in the other direction. This would allow spacecraft to dock with the top of the station, which would appear stationary to them. The necessity for this dome gives the space station its mushroom-like appearance. The dome would house the command centre for the station, and also many of the supplies needed for the crew on board. \u2018We believe artificial gravity is required to support long term living in space,\u2019 Mr Kemp told MailOnline. To build the station, the team says they have \u2018patents pending\u2019 for six robotic systems that can manufacture and construct a variety of structures in space. While exact details aren\u2019t known at the moment, another company - Tethers Unlimited - has demonstrated how structures could be built in space with their SpiderFab proposal, a system of robo-spiders that would build parts of spacecraft in orbit, although Mr Kemp told MailOnline that the USS method would be 'different'. Mr Kemp added that, for this large structure, it would take about 30 years to build and cost close to \u00a3200 billion ($300 billion). For comparison, it took more than 10 years to build the ISS, at a cost of around \u00a367 million ($100 billion) - although this new station has 2.89 million times more volume.

+{"article": "Poland is set to build watchtowers along the border to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, a local news agency reports. The towers, costing the Polish government \u00a32.5million, will range from 115ft to 164ft and help monitor the 124mile long border between the two countries using CCTV. The increased border monitoring comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and Poland, a member of both NATO and the European Union, over the conflict in Ukraine. Keeping an eye out: Poland is erecting watchtowers along the border to Russian exclave Kaliningrad (pictured) as tensions between the two countries are heightened . Last month, Moscow announced plans on placing state-of-the-art Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad for what government representatives called a 'major military exercise'. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also been accused of singling out Poland as an enemy in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, accusing it of training 'Ukrainian nationalists' and instigating unrest. 'We are currently in the test phase of the technical installations on the towers,' Miros\u0142awa Aleksandrowicz from the Warmia-Masurian Border Guard told the PAP news agency. The construction of the watchtowers, due to be finished in June, is set to cost the Polish government 14million zloty (\u00a32.5million) with a majority of the funding coming from the EU's External Borders Fund. Kaliningrad, which has a population of just under 1million, plays an important role in the maintenance of the Russian Baltic fleet. Getting ready: The CCTV towers will will monitor the border between Poland and Kaliningrad, where Moscow recently announced they are set to place state-of-the-art Iskander missiles . When neighbouring countries Poland and Lithuania joined the EU in May 2004, strict border controls were imposed. Moscow has proposed visa-free travel between Kaliningrad and the EU several times, but the motions have been rejected. The new border watchtowers will be erected at a time when tension around the Baltic Sea is reaching new heights. Last month, Swedish Air Force and NATO jets tracked four Russian combat aircraft - two long-range, nuclear-capable Tu-22M3 bombers and two Sukhoi Su-27 fighters - flying with their transponders turned off in international airspace over the Baltic Sea. NATO said it scrambled Danish jets and Italian jets based in Lithuania to identify the Russian aircraft which it said were heading to Kaliningrad. 'The Russian military aircraft did not use their onboard transponder; they were not in contact with civilian Air Traffic Control and they were not on a pre-filed flight plan,' a NATO military officer said. Last month, Russian military maneuvers that spread from the Arctic to the Black Sea involved 80,000 troops, about 100 navy ships and more than 220 aircraft.", "summary": "CCTV towers will monitor the border between Poland and Kaliningrad .

A 32-year-old man shot himself in the head during a firefight with police officers in Kentucky as horrified witnesses watched the chaotic scene unfold. Dustin Wayne South died Wednesday night at the Louisville scene, in a field behind Lassiter Middle School, a normally peaceful neighborhood in the southern part of the city. The shootout occurred after a neighbor saw South walking around the field while waving a gun in the air. Two bullets fired by police struck South, but neither was lethal, said Jo-Ann Farmer, chief deputy coroner. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Cherylyan Rayhel said she watched from a window as South waved a gun and fired into the air just behind her house about 8pm, which is when she reported the situation to the police. Officers yelled three times for him to drop the gun, but instead he raised it and pointed it at them, she said. Gunfire erupted. She did not see the man turn the gun on himself. 'I saw him fall; I screamed,' Rayhel said Thursday morning. 'I haven't slept all night.' The Louisville Metro Police Department identified the officers involved as Rondall Carpenter and Zachary Cooke. The officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation. This is the second fatal shoot involving Carpenter in less than a year. Last October, he and another officer, Skylar Graudick, were involved in a shooting that killed 38-year-old William Chad Mattingly, who had allegedly fired on the officers. Louisville Metro Police officers Rondall Carpenter (left) and Zachary Cooke (right) were involved in a shootout with South, but South eventually shot himself in the head . The shooting remains under review with the commonwealth's attorney. On Wednesday night, Rayhel said she saw South fighting with a woman in the street in front of her house, just around the corner from South's home. South, weeping, hugged a young boy who was with the couple and turned to leave, Rayhel said. The boy tried to chase him, but the woman held him back. Neighbors described South as friendly and sweet. Sherri Reynolds said she often saw him in the neighborhood, playing with a little boy. But she said he'd recently seemed troubled. Last week, he went out for a drive 'to clear his emotions,' he would later tell police. Before police arrived on scene, a neighbor said that she saw South fighting with a woman in the street in front of her house . He 'was unaware of his surroundings' and careened his truck off Northwestern Parkway in Shawnee, according to court records. He slid down a hill into the Shawnee Golf Course.

+{"article": "Fact. Whether he's your coach, manager or interim, Rafa Benitez wins trophies. The Spaniard's name is being uttered once again across the boardrooms of Europe this morning. His Napoli side's 4-1 demolition of Wolfsburg in the Europa League quarter final last night gave that ominous feeling that silverware is once again within his grasp. He may be demanding, occasionally abrasive and often expensive but ultimately Benitez gets results. Since 2002, Benitez has won 12 trophies with Valencia, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Napoli. Napoli manager Rafael Benitez saw his side beat Wolfsburg 4-1 in the Europa League . Gonzalo Higuain and Benitez celebrate after beating Wolfsburg in Germany . The 55-year-old is out of contract this summer and it makes him a man in demand. Manchester City, Paris St Germain and Real Madrid are all considering changes as are West Ham and Newcastle. While Steve McClaren is destined for the role at St James', Benitez will take stock of what offers arrive on his doorstep. His ideal is to return to England and his comfortable Wirral home overlooking the River Dee where his family, wife Montse and beloved daughters Claudia and Agata, are settled. The reality is, here, jobs of the calibre Benitez wants are scarce and the opportunities could come with a caveat. Manchester City, should they dispense with Manuel Pellegrini, ultimately want Pep Guardiola; his contract at Bayern makes that difficult though and Patrick Vieira's inexperience leaves them with a dilemma. Should they try Benitez? It goes against certain principles, Txiki Begiristain wants a fluid attacking style to bring glory and Benitez is seen as pragmatic yet tactically very astute. Yet, Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester United may not have danced through City's midfield so easily in recent weeks had he been in charge. Benitez has won the UEFA Cup/Europa League twice with Valencia and Chelsea . Preparation is everything to him, almost laborious. His players are given briefings, tailored dvds, weak points to work on or to attack. His pointers are not negative, they're smart. When Chelsea beat Benfica in the Europa League final of 2013, Juan Mata revealed how Benitez had told them to target the back post where Benfica goalkeeper Artur was vulnerable. They won with a far post header from Branislav Ivanovic. Ironically, Benitez has been viewed as wreckless in Italy this season for not setting his team with greater emphasis on defence. They have lost to Roma and Lazio but dominated. It prompted under-pressure president Aurelio De Laurentiis to demand his players be locked away in a training camp. Film producer De Laurentiis does love a drama. Giving players a cuddle has never been Benitez's forte, nor saying that he loves them but he does give them a platform to improve. Benitez famously guided Liverpool to the Champions League in 2005 . Benitez won the FA Cup with Liverpool in 2006 on penalties against West Ham .

The 25-year-old says he is already looking forward to next term given the slump in form which has seen the Magpies lose five on the spin and score just one goal in eight hours. But before this season is out Colback and his team-mates will have to endure planned protests with a boycott of Sunday's match against Spurs set to see thousands stay away from St James\u2019 Park. Jack Colback (left) says the Newcastle United fans deserve more following another disappointing defeat . Newcastle lost six in a row at the same stage 12 months ago and the atmosphere inside the ground was toxic during the final home game as fans targeted manager Alan Pardew and owner Mike Ashley. One year on and John Carver\u2019s threadbare squad is in real danger of being sucked into a relegation scrap should their ruinous run continue. And Colback accepts that their current effort is far from the standard required. The midfielder was one of the only players who deserves credit this season and put in a shift against Liverpool . \u2018This is a huge club which deserves more than it is getting at the moment,\u2019 said the midfielder, who was part of another lacklustre display during Monday\u2019s 2-0 defeat at Liverpool. \u2018It\u2019s a difficult situation we\u2019re in \u2013 we\u2019ve not got a lot of players. \u2018But we can\u2019t feel sorry for ourselves.

Moussa Sissoko was sent off for a terrible tackle on Lucas Leiva to add to John Carver's woes . The head coach has raised concerns about the character of the players after they lost a fifth straight Tyne-Wear derby last weekend. But Colback said: \u2018The character is there in the team, even though we didn\u2019t show it last week (at Sunderland). \u2018We had to show a reaction at Liverpool because last week was nowhere near good enough. \u2018The minimum we could do is be better than the last game and I thought we were. \u2018We should have done better with their first goal and it was a shame we took until then to react.

A mother-of-two branded 'Fagin' made almost \u00a350,000 in a lucrative family shoplifting firm with her daughters - and now they have been told to pay back just \u00a31 each. Dawn Bainbridge, 47, of West Rainton, County Durham, led a 'family business' that saw her and her two daughters steal thousands of pounds worth of clothes from high street stores across the North and sell them online through Facebook. Their company 'Designer Goods North East' took more than \u00a37,000 in online payments in just four months, had detailed sales records and even a debters' book.

The mother, who is still serving her sentence, and two daughters, who have since been released, were back in court today for a hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Prosecutor Bridie Smurthwaite told the court the mother made \u00a315,017, Claire made \u00a326,180 and Caitlyn made \u00a37,476 from their illegal enterprise.

Miss Smurthwaite told the court: 'There are confiscation orders in the sum of \u00a31, that sum to be paid within 28 days.' The mother was allowed 56 days to pay back her \u00a31 as she is the only one still in custody. The women face up to seven days behind bars if they fail to pay the \u00a31 each on time.

The judge told the women: 'This was a professional, criminal family firm. 'Thousands and thousands of pounds worth of goods were taken in professional, planned shoplifting expeditions and professionally marketed by you on your own Paypal account and with money being withdrawn to distribute amongst the directors of the firm. 'People seem to think shoplifting doesn't matter. Well it does. 'The outlay shops have to provide: security machines, security guards, cameras; all because people like you can't keep their grubby hands off other people's property. 'The vast majority of this country, many of whom are in far worse situations than you, hold their heads up high and live honest lives. 'You obviously regard yourself as far too clever to be like them.' The judge told Dawn Bainbridge as he jailed her: 'You now have time to think about the effects of your offences on your family.

Referee: Lee Mason . Attendance: 14,604 . Reading were involved in a dramatic 2-1 defeat against Arsenal, after extra-time, in the last four of the Cup at Wembley on Saturday. Goalkeeper Adam Federici, whose fumble led to Alexis Sanchez's winning goal, was retained against Birmingham - as were six of his fellow starters from Wembley. At least Reading had no pressure on them, the last lingering doubts of relegation having been removed when Millwall lost 2-0 at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night. Birmingham had little to play for either, apart from trying to improve on a poor recent record of just two wins in eight league matches. A predictably dour opening, with neither side keen to force the pace, ended when Wes Thomas aimed at Federici. But it was a weak effort that did not trouble the Australian goalkeeper. Reading, with only two wins in 13 league games behind them and no wins in six, responded swiftly as the game warmed up. Garath McCleary, scorer of Reading's equaliser against Arsenal, fired wide after a long pass from Jake Cooper. A Cooper header lacked the power to test Birmingham keeper Darren Randolph, Jamie Mackie shot wide after Jem Karacan had been blocked out, and Mackie and Nick Blackman had close-range efforts cleared to safety. Randolph made a flying save to keep out a fierce McCleary shot and the keeper also had to stop two decent long-range attempts from Nathaniel Chalobah. Reading fans showed their support for Adam Federci following his blunder at Wembley on Saturday . Donaldson goes one-on-one with Federici, who was hoping to make amends for his mistake against Arsenal . Birmingham threatened only rarely, Paul Caddis blazing over from a Diego Fabbrini cross, which Donaldson had missed, and Jonathan Grounds heading straight at Federici from a Caddis corner. Reading kept up the momentum after the interval but, as Birmingham defended stubbornly, the home side spoiled good approach work with poor final touches.

A Judge who fell asleep while a child abuse victim gave evidence and caused the trial to collapse has been reprimanded by his bosses . The part-time judge, Recorder Philip Cattan, 65, from Cheshire was seen to fall asleep during the rape trial of John Quingley at Manchester Crown Court last summer. A retrial had to be ordered and with the child having to give evidence for a second time, the Daily Mirror reported.

Progress at the Etihad Stadium has in recent years been slight. Indeed, you could say there has been none, particularly in relation to money spent. At City, however, the fact is that the identity of the manager represents only a small part of the problem. Manuel Pellegrini could be out of a job in the summer, and if he is, he will have left little behind . Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has fallen well short of the standards he set in recent seasons . Pellegrini leaves the stadium as Manchester City suffered their fifth defeat in seven matches . As reported in Sportsmail after City\u2019s defeat in Barcelona last month, there is no particular desire at the club to sack Pellegrini. More poor results, more points separating his team from champions-elect Chelsea may cause the ground to shift a little further but any decision regarding the manager will be motivated much more by what happens next rather than what happened over the past eight months. Certainly, this has been a lamentable defence of the title, as bad as when conceding it by 11 points in 2013. At the Etihad there is, however, a recognition that problems are not all down to the manager. There are some issues with Pellegrini. Some City players think he is too nice \u2014 a soft touch who does not inspire with words or his substitutions and who displays a fondness for a 4-4-2 formation that they feel leaves them vulnerable. Pellegrini has not alienated or even polarised his dressing room, however. The majority are happy to work and play for him. The more significant problem is that City\u2019s squad, constructed carefully and expensively, is too old, too foreign and has not been improved by recent transfers. James Milner is one of very few Englishmen in a first team squad that is too foreign and too old . Manchester City signed defender Eliaquim Mangala for \u00a332million last summer and he has been poor . Wilfried Bony was signed in January from Swansea for \u00a328m but has only scored once since arriving . City have had a very good team for quite a while now. Signing David Silva and Yaya Toure in 2010 and Sergio Aguero a year later lifted them to their current level but nothing since the first Premier League title has hinted at the further progress many presumed would be inevitable.

The 31-year-old had two blood clots in her lungs, which led to a condition which caused her left lung to collapse - just a month before she was due to get married. Doctors told her she had developed the clot as a result of taking the contraceptive pill. Mrs Dickson developed blood clots, which can be caused by the synthetic hormones in the contraceptive pill, that then moved to her lungs and caused a pulmonary embolism. It left her with bruises on her arms (right) Emma Dickson was meant to be planning her wedding but ended up thinking about her funeral after she was taken to hospital with a collapsed lung, which developed from complications caused by the contraceptive pill . Mrs Dickson, a care home nurse, felt certain she was going to die. There was also a risk the clot could have moved to her brain, causing a stroke. She eventually recovered in hospital but will now have to take blood-thinning medication for the rest of her life which have caused her hair to fall out and severe headaches. It is also uncertain whether she will be able to have children. 'I was just really horrified. It surprised me how quickly everything went downhill,' she said.

Mrs Dickson was taken to Causeway Hospital, Coleraine, Northern Ireland, after she experienced sharp pains on November 2 last year. After a CT scan, doctors told her she had two blood clots in her left lung - known as pulmonary embolisms - and that the clots had developed after she had been taking the contraceptive pill. The pill can increase the risk of blood clotting because it contains a synthetic version of oestrogen which can very slightly thicken the blood, leading to clots. Mrs Dickson's blood clots had developed in her pelvis, moved around her body, and had then become wedged in the lungs. These clots then led to a pleural effusion, a condition which causes fluid to accumulate between the lungs and chest wall.

When captain Wayne Rooney said after the draw in Italy on Tuesday that Carrick was the 'best player on the pitch by a mile', and that he 'dictated the game' he summed up what England have been missing since he signed for Manchester United in 2006. Successive England managers kept beating themselves up trying to solve the Lampard/Gerrard conundrum in midfield, but ironically it was a Scot who presented the answer to them. Michael Carrick gets ahead of Italy striker Ciro Immobile during Tuesday night's friendly in Turin . Carrick applauds the travelling England supporters in Turin after winning his 33rd cap against Italy . For all Carrick's achievements with Manchester United, he has been consistently overlooked by England . Sir Alex Ferguson signed Carrick for \u00a318million, trusted him in midfield, and United dominated domestically and even became Champions of Europe in an era when Guardiola, Messi and Barcelona were taking their place in history as one of the greatest ever club sides. That's why I firmly believe that had Michael Carrick been a regular in England's midfield for the past 10 years, we would have won a major tournament in that time. You can disagree, but you cannot prove me wrong. Carrick has a 100 per cent record with England at the World Cup. He's only ever played in one game at the tournament, and England won it 1-0 against Ecuador in the round of 16 in 2006. He's a World Cup Invincible. Sven Goran Eriksson dropped him for the next game, the quarter-final against Portugal, and England went out.

England lumbered and stumbled on with the likes of Jermaine Jenas (21 caps), Scott Parker (18) and Gareth Barry (an incredible 53) all lucky to get the number of caps they did. Sir Alex Ferguson, arguably the greatest manager of all time, picked Carrick. But Steve McLaren and Fabio Capello did not. Who called it right?

Labial reduction procedures - surgery to reduce the size of the inner \u2018lips\u2019 of the vagina - have risen five-fold in the past 10 years, with more than 2,000 operations performed in 2010. And the trend is reflected in Australia where procedures have more than doubled in the same time period. The labia are lips which protect the vagina. There are inner labia \u2013 the labia minora - which are thinner, and the outer labia \u2013 the labia majora, which have more tissue and fat. Labial reduction procedures - surgery to reduce the size of the inner \u2018lips\u2019 of the vagina - have risen five-fold in the past 10 years, with more than 2,000 operations performed on the NHS in 2010 . They naturally vary in size and shape, but some women are dissatisfied or distressed about the appearance of their labia, even when they are classified medically as perfectly normal. The surgery involves reducing the size of a woman's labia minora to make them more symmetrical and smaller than the labia majora. This is done by cutting away the \u2018excess\u2019 skin with a scalpel, or possibly a laser, and stitching up the loose edge with dissolvable stitches, until it heals. Experts at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists at the World Congress in Brisbane, have called for more research to try and better understand women's motivations. A study by the University of Melbourne explored the views of women aged 18 to 28. Interviews focused on participants' views of the 'normal' and 'ideal' vulval anatomy, on cosmetic surgery and the sources of information available. Calida Howarth, from the university, said: 'It is essential that doctors do not assume that women have an inherent knowledge of their genitalia and the anatomical terms used to describe it. 'This contemporary women's health issue requires further research and interdisciplinary collaboration if we are going to ensure best practice and achieve optimal outcomes for our patients.' A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the labia minora \u2013 the flaps of skin either side of the vaginal opening. Most labiaplasty operations are done by private clinics as cosmetic surgery, to change the appearance of the female genitals. Occasionally, there may be a medical need for the operation (for example, because the tissue is affected by disease), in which case it might be covered by the NHS. However, the NHS doesn't routinely provide this operation. It's natural and normal for a woman to have noticeable skin folds around the vaginal opening and, in most cases, this shouldn't cause any problems. Some women are dissatisfied with or distressed about the appearance of their labia, even when they look perfectly normal to the health professional examining them.

MANCHESTER CITY (4-2-3-1) JOE HART 6 - The England goalkeeper couldn\u2019t have wished for a quieter 28th birthday, and was rarely called into action by a toothless West Ham. PABLO ZABALETA 6.5 \u2013 Treated for bloody nose early on but that was about the extent of the damage inflicted on City. Got forward well as usual. Manchester City right back Pablo Zabaleta keeps Enner Valencia at bay by putting in a crunching challenge . MARTIN DEMICHELIS 6 \u2013 Careless slip let in Carlton Cole in the first half but otherwise looked relatively comfortable alongside a new defensive partner in Mangala. ELIAQUIM MANGALA 7 - Dominant display from City\u2019s \u00a332million defender who was able to enjoy a trouble-free return to the line-up, and snuffed out the few threats offered by the Hammers. ALEKSANDAR KOLAROV 6.5 \u2013 Went close with slightly deflected freekick and another effort from a tight angle in the second half. Defensively, faced little threat from Valencia. FRANK LAMPARD 6 \u2013 Only his fifth Premier League start for City and of lack match sharpness showed on occasions as his touch let him down. Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard was given a rare chance to impress by starting against West Ham . FERNANDO 6.5 \u2013 Didn\u2019t have too much on his plate but was alert to track Kouyate\u2019s burst from midfield in the first half and produced a fantastic interception tackle. JESUS NAVAS 8 \u2013 Much better from the little Spaniard. More direct and looked for an earlier pass, which contributed to both of City\u2019s first two goals. Jesus Navas played a major role in Manchester City's two goals at the Etihad Stadium . YAYA TOURE 7 \u2013 A more lively display than of late from the much-maligned Ivorian who passed the ball well and his interception started the move for City\u2019s second goal. DAVID SILVA 6.5 \u2013 Subdued display despite going close with a couple of efforts, and stretchered off following lengthy treatment after taking an elbow to the head from Kouyate. SERGIO AGUERO 7.5 \u2013 The Argentine\u2019s third goal in two games took his total to 26 for the season, and the top of the Premier League scoring charts with 20. Can\u2019t argue with that.

The Hot Pursuit star's lawyer Fred Silberberg told People late Friday that the 42-year-old 'has never wanted to destroy her embryos.' However, she's not planning on using them either, the attorney said in the statement, adding that Vergara 'is content to leave the embryos frozen indefinitely as she has no desire to have children with her ex.' Scroll down for video . Speaking out: Sofia Vergara's attorney said Friday the actress has no intention of destroying the frozen embryos she created with ex Nick Loeb but has no plans to use them either as she has moved on with her life . Vergara's legal representative spoke out after court documents published this week by In Touch show Loeb, 39, wants a judge to order that the female embryos may not be destroyed, but that Vergara has refused to 'agree to their preservation under all circumstances. However, Sliberberg told People that \"the claims made against Sofia Vergara by Nick Loeb are uncredible and hold no merit.' He went on to say that Vergara 'has always maintained that they be kept frozen, a fact of which Loeb and his counsel have always been aware, despite Loeb's statements to the contrary.' The attorney also pointed out that the agreement between his client and her ex clearly states that no unilateral action may be taken by either party and that both sides must consent to any action taken with regard to the frozen embryos. Legal fight: Businessman Loeb, seen here with Vergara in 2011, filed a lawsuit against his ex-fiancee asking a judge to order her not to destroy the embryos. It's been reported that he wants to use them to have a child . Gossip website TMZ claimed Saturday that a source close to the Colombian actress says she won't destroy the frozen embryos because she's afraid it would anger 'a lot of her fan base, which believes life is created at inception.' The bitter feud between the warring couple made more headlines this week when it was reported that the Modern Family star had allegedly insisted her 44-year-old assistant be the surrogate for her and Loeb's child. According to Page Six, Loeb claimed that Vergara demanded her friend and employee serve as the surrogate over his 'objections as well as the recommendations of the parties\u2019 doctor'. According to the legal papers, filed under pseudonyms Jane and John Doe, the pair fertilized embryos using Vergara's eggs and Loeb's sperm.

+{"article": "A football fan has triggered a furious row after posting a picture of two Muslim men praying at a Premier League stadium and labelling it a \u2018disgrace\u2019. Stephen Dodd tweeted a picture of Asif Bodi and Abubakar Bhula worshipping on their knees in a stairwell of Liverpool\u2019s Anfield ground. He added the caption: \u2018Muslims praying at half-time at the match yesterday #DISGRACE.\u2019 Fury: Stephen Dodd took this photograph of Asif Bodi and Abubakar Bhula praying at Anfield last month . Mr Dodd\u2019s post, made after Liverpool took on Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup last month, was met with widespread condemnation on social media, with users branding him a \u2018bigot\u2019 and \u2018disgrace to humanity\u2019. The tweet was reported to police, who investigated but decided no criminal offence had taken place. They have referred the matter back to the club. Last night, Liverpool promised to take \u2018appropriate action\u2019 against the supporter. It is not known if Mr Dodd is a season ticket holder, but he could have this revoked or be banned from future matches. Yesterday Mr Bodi, 46, a solicitor from Preston, told the Daily Mail that it was not the first time he had prayed at a match. Backlash: Dodd tried to defend himself by saying that he was a long-standing fan of Liverpool . \u2018It only takes a few minutes and this time it was during half-time that we needed to pray,\u2019 the lawyer said. \u2018We have a small window in which to pray. That day, the time came for prayer and the window would have closed before the game finished so we did it at half-time. Campaigners have called for football clubs to install prayer rooms so Muslim fans can pray in peace and avoid the possibility of anti-Islamic abuse. Fiyaz Mughal, who runs Islamophobia hotline Tell MAMA, suggested that stadiums should have a 'multi-faith prayer room' in their stadiums. He told MailOnline: 'We are aware of incidents where practising Muslims have been abused since they have decided to quietly pray in public areas during half-time breaks. 'Given that people want to peacefully pray, we would suggest that clubs consider making a prayer room available for those fans who want to do so. 'The prayer room just has to be a space that is clean and where people can spend about 10 minutes praying and which is available through the match. 'It also can be listed as a multi-faith prayer room so that other faiths who want to use it, can do so.' Currently both Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers have prayer rooms at their stadiums for the use of fans. The rooms are non-demoninational and can be used by fans of any religion, but are more likely to be used by Muslims because they must pray at fixed times during the day. Newcastle United has also built a prayer room at its training ground because there are a number of Muslim footballers playing at the club. 'Most people are absolutely fine with it and the stewards at Anfield are wonderful, but it only takes one or two people", "summary": "Stephen Dodd photographed Asif Bodi and Abubakar Bhula praying during half-time at Anfield last month .

The South Korean ferry captain responsible for a sinking that killed more than 300 people has had his sentence increased to life in prison. Lee Joon-seok had been ordered to serve 36 years in prison for negligence and abandoning passengers aboard the Sewol, by a district court following last year's disaster. But this was increased to life in prison today by an appellate court that convicted him of homicide by account of his 'willful negligence'. The 6,825-tonne passenger ship sank off the southwest coast on April 16 last year, killing 304 people. Most of the victims were teenagers who were en route to a southern island for a school trip. Victims' relatives criticised the original verdict which had acquitted him of homicide, saying it was too lenient. But his sentence was increased because the Gwangju High Court additionally convicted him on the homicide charges while upholding most of other charges that led to his November conviction, according to a court statement. The appellate court sentenced 14 other navigation crew members to 18 months to 12 years in prison, the statement said. In November they had received sentences of five to 30 years in prison. The court said it decided on Lee's homicide conviction because he fled the ship without making any evacuation order though he, as a captain, is required by law to take some measures to rescue his passengers. Lee's behavior was 'homicide by willful negligence,' the court judged. 'For whatever excuses, it's difficult to forgive Lee Joon-seok's action that caused a big tragedy,' the court statement cited the verdict as saying. Lee and the 14 crew members have been the subject of fierce public anger because they were among the first people rescued from the ship when it began badly listing on the day of the sinking in April last year.

She's been battling leukemia since 2012 and has missed several days of school because of the recovery process .

It adds that the 12-year-old had attended 32 full days this academic year out of 134 days as of April 13, but Barbara McGrath says that doesn't include 'numerous' partial days. The school, which charges as much as $6,983 per year for tuition, also wrote that it has taken 'significant adjustments to our standards' to help Rose, including reducing her workload and paring down assignments and tests. 'Rose's attendance, coupled with her academic performance, do not qualify her for continued attendance at St. Joseph Middle School,' the letter read.

+{"article": "Walter Scott was jailed in 1987 on a charge of assault and battery, it has been revealed. A report released by the Charleston County Sheriff's Department on Friday says deputies responded to a call about a fight between Scott and another man. When deputies told the two to break it up, the report states, Scott began shouting obscenities at the other man as well as a deputy before shoving the officer. Scott suffered a cut and was treated at a local hospital before being transported to the jail. The disposition of the case was not immediately known. Previous: Walter Scott was jailed in 1987 after shouting obscenities at a man and pushing a deputy . The news comes as another excessive force complaint, as well as a lawsuit, is filed against Michael Slager stemming from his time on the North Charleston Police Department. Slager is the white officer fired this week after being charged with murder in the shooting death of a black man that was captured in a dramatic video. Two years ago, a man said Slager used his stun gun against him without reason. On Friday, a Charleston County man came forward alleging that Slager did the same thing to him during a traffic stop last year. Justin Wilson's suit says that when he was pulled over by police Aug. 24, he produced a valid Georgia driver's license but was placed under arrest for having a suspended South Carolina license. The suit alleges that Wilson was pulled from his vehicle, forced to the ground and then, although he was cooperating with authorities, Slager shot him with his Taser. Wilson's lawyer said he would release a statement next week. The historic details are unraveling amid an ongoing investigation into Scott's fatal shooting on Saturday. No warrant had been issued for Walter Scott's arrest when he ran from Officer Michael Slager moments before he was shot dead. Court records show he was $7,500 behind on child support when he was pulled over on Saturday and had already been jailed three times for missing payments. His family believe the fear of being thrown back in prison was the reason he tried to flee during the deadly traffic stop. But there was nothing directing officers to bring him in to face a family court judge, despite the fact his last payment was only in 2012. Escape: Dashcam footage released on Thursday shows Walter Scott running away from his car minutes before he is shot dead by Officer Michael Sager. His family believed he fled over fears he would be arrested for being behind on child support payments . History: Scott had already been jailed three times over missed payments, but court records have revealed there was no warrant out for his arrest when he was pulled over. Minutes later he was shot dead .

Vicious: A menacing Eastern European gang leader with his Rottweiler. Crime gangs from Eastern Europe are operating here with 'impunity' due to EU free movement rules, a disturbing report warns today . The Centre for Social Justice report, written by a former senior aide to Home Secretary Theresa May, is based on interviews with senior police and officials in Britain and overseas. It offers a deeply disturbing insight into how, since the EU expanded to include former Eastern Bloc members in 2004, a huge market has opened up in what it calls the 'modern slave trade'. In the past, trafficking gangs had to bring in migrants from outside the EU \u2013 which meant they would need to pass through border controls. But they are now able to target people in impoverished communities in Slovakia, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria with open access to Britain. Migrants are duped into believing they are travelling to the UK for work and enter the country legally under the EU's Free Movement Directive. The traffickers then seize control of their bank accounts and travel documents, and force them to work in often gruesome conditions. The report, written by former Home Office special adviser Fiona Cunningham, says: 'One of the most serious unintended consequences of free movement in the EU is that it has made it much easier for organised criminal gangs to operate their cross-border business models with impunity and without fear of being detected and therefore pursued.' Significantly, the report has the backing of Mrs May, who has written the foreword. She has been one of the Cabinet ministers pushing for curbs on EU free movement \u2013 including restrictions on countries whose level of wealth is far below that of Britain.

A Western gray whale (pictured) has made the longest known migration by any mammal. The female, named Varvara, swam 14,000 miles (22,500) from the east coast of Russia to breeding grounds off the coast of Mexico, and back, reportedly without stopping for a snack . Until now, scientists believed there were two distinct groups of gray whale - the Eastern gray whale, which travels along the west coast of US, and the much rarer Western gray whale, which journeys along the coast of eastern Asia. The researchers used satellite-monitoring tags to track three Western North Pacific gray whales from their primary feeding ground off Russia\u2019s Sakhalin Island across the Pacific Ocean and down the West Coast of the US to Baja, Mexico. The experts have been monitoring the species living off the coast of Russia for years and tracked the record-breaking journey over five-and-half months between 2011 and 2012. Gray whales typically don't feed during migration, which has led researchers to believe Varvara didn't eat during the long journey either. They found that Varvara, which is Russian for Barbara, visited the three major breeding areas for Eastern gray whales, which are found off North America, according to the study published by the Royal Society in the journal Biology Letters.

After the two employees returned to the office from the party, Morales, 48, tried to kiss the woman and grabbed her arms when she resisted, according to two people briefed on her statement. Secret Service supervisor Xavier Morales, 48, has been placed on indefinite administrative leave after a female employee accused him of assaulting her at agency headquarters . The woman alleged that Morales did not relent until after a brief struggle, according to the Washington Post. The party, held on March 31 at the Capitol City Brewing Company, was being thrown in Morales' honor to celebrate his recent assignment to head the Louisville Secret Service field office. Morales, who was a manager in the agency's security clearance division, was due to start his new position this week. Instead, he had to turn in his gun and badge and had his security clearance suspended after Secret Service internal investigators began a preliminary review and conducted interviews in regards to the female agent's complaint, according to agency spokesman Brian Leary. Secret Service Director Joseph P. Clancy released a statement to the Washington Post saying the 'allegations as reported are very disturbing'. 'The Secret Service is an agency that demands that our employees conduct themselves with the highest level of integrity,' he said. 'Any threats or violence that endangers our employees in the workplace is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.' Clancy had his investigators refer the case to the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general, due to Morales' high rank.

The opening period was played at a frenetic pace with Irish struggling to cope as Sale were all action, moving the ball at every opportunity, displaying some extremely slick handling. However against the run play, Irish produced an excellent movement with Allinson, Narraway and Fergus Mulchrone all prominent and they succeeded in winning a penalty, which Noakes kicked to leave his side trailing 5-3 at the end of the first quarter. Noakes then rewarded a period of pressure from Irish to kick his second penalty as it was now the turn of the visitors, to make the elementary errors.

During the fortnight-long Candlemas celebrations, dancers parade through the streets. Men dress as multi-coloured dragons or monsters, while local women, known as cholitas, wear skirts puffed up with petticoats and small bowler hats. Reeds all about it: Hand-crafted boats on the gentle surface of Lake Titicaca . Arriving in Puno, you wonder at first where on earth the inhabitants get their energy. This city of 100,000 souls on the shores of Lake Titicaca could leave you breathless for all the wrong reasons. Situated on a vast plateau in the Andes, at an altitude north of 13,000 ft, it is higher than any Alpine ski resort, and you need to go gently the first few days you're here. Hotels stock oxygen to revive tourists from soroche - altitude sickness - an affliction that causes shortness of breath, headaches and worse. But once acclimatised, you're in for a treat. Though its architecture is underwhelming (with the exception of a splendid central square), what entrances every visitor to Puno is Lake Titicaca. One of the world's largest lakes, and its highest navigable one, it stretches 110 miles by 38 miles across Peru and Bolivia. It is vast, remote, unworldly. The high peaks of the Andes frame it in the distance, some glistening with snow. There are more familiar sights, too. At the town's busy port, you'll see a gunboat called the Yavari, which has a distinctively British look. It was built in London in 1862, then transported, piece by piece, across the Andes to Puno, where it ferried people around for 70 years until the roads made it obsolete and it was left to rot. It was saved from the scrapheap by an English woman, Meriel Larken, who restored and turned it into a B&B. Local life: The ingenious floating Uros Islands in the middle of Lake Titicaca are made from totora reeds . The accommodation onboard is suitably nautical - you sleep in bunk beds. If you're not spending the night, for a small donation you can just tour the ship. The port is the gateway to Puno's fascinating islands. A standard, full-day tour will first take you to the Uros Islands, originally built by the Uru people as a way to escape rival tribes. These man-made floating structures are hewn from mats of totora reeds, which grow abundantly in the shallows of the lake. Secured to the bottom of the lake by ropes, as the layers at the bottom rot, new ones are added to the top to keep it dry and afloat. Stepping on them feels decidedly squidgy, as if you're treading on a giant waterbed. Uru women greet you dressed in wide-brimmed hats and brightly-coloured skirts. Islanders make the most of their income from tourists, so will invite you into their cosy, pointy-roofed huts, which smell of hay. The only hint of the 21st century?

Some nicknames refer to the ancient heritage of the city, some refer to the industry found in the city, some refer to the cities\u2019 environment \u2013 there are a variety of reasons these cities have earned their unique monikers. Flights company Just The Flight have researched city nicknames all over the world, finding out the real stories behind each and every one of them to produce a handy infographic. Taking a wild guess at why Las Vegas is often referred to as \u2018Sin City\u2019, for example, might seem incredibly obvious - but the nickname actually came about before the Las Vegas was even built. In fact, it stemmed from a street known as Block 16 that became famous in the early 1900s for selling alcohol and for offering prostitution. Harry Peters, from Just The Flight, told MailOnline Travel: 'Block 16 and the surrounding area was demolished after the Second World War, and Las Vegas as we know it today was built up around it \u2013 but the \u2018Sin City\u2019 nickname has stuck, and is still rather relevant today.' Singapore, or \u2018Lion City\u2019, is another interesting one. \u2018Singapura\u2019 literally translates to \u2018Lion City\u2019 but the reason for the name came about as the founder, Sir Stamford Raffles, supposedly saw a merlion \u2013 a mix between a mermaid and a lion \u2013 despite lions not even being native to the city at all. Some nicknames come from terms journalists have used to describe the city and some, such as Dallas being known as \u2018Big D\u2019, don\u2019t quite have the same history to them. Las Vegas is known as Sin City now for it's gambling and temptation - but the nickname dates back to a building used by prostitutes . The history of Philadelphia is recognised by its nickname of 'The City Of Brotherly Love'. English Quaker William Penn founded the city in 1682 and wanted it to be a place of harmony and substance. Amsterdam in the Netherlands is known for its great number of canals, and so even if you didn't know, you could understand why it is known as 'The Venice Of The North.' Venice, however isn't known as 'The Amsterdam Of The South'. The northeastern city has the tag 'The Bride Of The Sea,' that relates to a ceremony where the doge (leader) throws a ring into the sea so that Venice is 'married.' And Paris might be known as 'The City Of Love' for its romantic architecture and stunning landmarks, but it is tagged 'The City Of Light' after it became the first in Europe to use electric street lamps.", "summary": "Las Vegas' nickname of Sin City relates to a building prostitutes used .

+{"article": "The common ancestor of humans may have had tentacles, a scientist has claimed. Organisms that lived in the sea 635 to 541 million years ago, from which humans and other animals evolved, likely had flexible appendages and a complex nervous system. It seemingly puts to bed another theory that suggests our ancestors were much more simple, worm-like creatures. A Russian scientist says the distant ancestor of humans had tentacles. One such creature can be seen at the centre of this illustration. They lived more than 540 million years ago and used them for food. It's likely they also had a complex nervous system like we do today . The latest research was conducted by Dr Elena Temereva from the Department of Invertebrate Zoology at the Faculty of Biology of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. Today, humans and many other organisms are bilaterally symmetric - we have a clearly discernible top and bottom, and a left and a right. However, our distant ancestors hundreds of millions ago were not, with many of them thought to be worm-like creatures that swam in the seas or walked on the seafloor. A warming climate may have enabled the earliest humans to venture into Western Europe 1.4 million years ago, a new study suggests. Researchers believe that the spread of our distant human ancestors, the hominins, had been halted by colder and drier temperatures. But as conditions warmed, they were able to branch out from Africa into Spain, and ultimately spread across Europe. The research was led by Dr Jordi Agusti from the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA). How we evolved into bilateral creatures, and what we evolved from, has been a cause of some debate. One theory suggests that our common bilaterian ancestor was a worm without appendages and just a simple nervous system. Dr Temereva\u2019s research, though, favours a different theory. She says that our ancestors had appendages - or tentacles - that were used for movement and food collection. And, she says, they also had a complex nervous system. To come to her conclusion she studied Lingula anatina, an ancient brachiopod found all over the world. Lingula is one of the oldest brachiopods having survived to the present day, originating in the Early Ordovician era 500 million years ago. For that reason, and as it has hardly changed over geological time, it is often referred to as a \u2018living fossil\u2019 of organisms in the distant past. Today, humans and many other organisms are bilaterally symmetric; we have a clearly discernible top and bottom, and a left and a right - such as depicted in da Vinci's The Vitruvian Man, shown left. Dr Elena Temereva came to her conclusion by studying the 'living fossil' Lingula anatina, shown right . \u2018By virtue of the fact that there are tentacles among the two main taxons of bilaterally symmetrical animals, it is logical to assume that the common ancestor also had them,\u2019 said Dr Temereva. \u2018It means that the common ancestor of chordate animals [such as mammals, fish and birds] including people also had tentacles.\u2019", "summary": "Russian scientist says distant ancestor of humans had tentacles .

+{"article": "Alastair Cook still has the full support of his coach, team-mates and selectors and is unbeaten in four Tests. But his hopes of remaining England captain in the Ashes this summer hinge on what is going on back home. The opinions of ECB chairman-elect Colin Graves, new chief executive Tom Harrison and the man they eventually make director of cricket matter far more than what anyone in the Caribbean thinks. The three half-centuries Cook made in his last four Test innings of last summer count for little now as his battle to prove he remains the best man for the job nears crunch time. England captain Alastair Cook is not concerned about his failure to hit a Test hundred since May 2013 . Cook remains England's leading century maker despite his recent failure to score a Test century . Cook (right, pictured with Gary Ballance) and his team-mates are preparing for England's second Test . The second Test that starts here is not exactly make or break for Cook but he needs runs and a victory as much as at any time in a career that has seen him score more Test centuries than any other Englishman. The decision of Graves and Harrison to sack Paul Downton as managing director and announce that they are looking for a new \u2018supremo\u2019 to replace him has placed Cook and Peter Moores under more pressure than ever. By definition, the new powers at the ECB cannot have been happy about the big decisions Downton made in a traumatic 14 months and few were bigger than the move to bring back Moores as coach and the continued backing of Cook. England could not have done much more to force victory in Antigua on a pitch deader than Monty Python\u2019s parrot but their failure to beat West Indies has made the remaining two Tests vital. Cook was both proactive and imaginative for much of that first Test but he is a captain who leads mainly by example and simply has to break a run that now sees him without a Test century for 33 innings. The statistics certainly make grim reading for Cook. In 21 of those 33 innings he has not passed 25 and his Test average of 45.65 is lower than at any time since the 2010-11 Ashes. Since the last of his 25 Test centuries, against New Zealand at Headingley in May 2013, he is averaging under 29.

Labour and Tory politicians have come to blows over the 45p top tax rate following the Chancellor's admission that establishing the threshold was not one of the Government's priorities. George Osborne has avoided calls to rule out further help for the country's top earners, offering vague answers when asked whether those raking in more than \u00a350,000 could see the rate lowered. Instead he says the Conservatives are committed to raising the tax-free personal allowance bracket from \u00a310,000 to \u00a312,500. Raising 40 per cent tax so that it only applies to those earning at least \u00a350,000 was also a priority, he said. At present anyone earning between \u00a331,866 to \u00a3150,000 is taxed at the higher rate. Those earning above \u00a3150,000 are taxed at the higher rate of 45 per cent. But Labour politicians are calling for the amount to be raised to 50 per cent for those in the highest bracket. Accusing the current Government of prioritising 'helping the very richest', Shadow chief secretary Chris Leslie condemned the Chancellor's refusal to rule out offering reduced tax rates on high income salaries. When pressed in an interview with Sky News the Chancellor refused to rule out making further cuts for Britain's top earners, instead saying the issue was 'not a priority'. 'If that was our priority or our plan we would have made it part of our plan and made it one of our priorities. Scroll down for video . 'That's not our plan. Judge us by what we want to do and what we want to do is increase the tax-free personal allowance to \u00a312,500 so people full-time on the minimum wage don't have to pay income tax and millions are better off,' he said. 'And when it comes to higher rate taxpayers our priority is increasing the threshold at which you pay that higher rate, the 40p rate, to \u00a350,000.' 'Those are our big tax commitments for the coming parliament.' The Chancellor added that any deal between Labour and SNP would harm the country, claiming the latter's leader, Nicola Sturgeon, was 'much stronger' than the opposition leader . He also refused to commit to devoting 2 per cent of the budget to defence, the limit agreed by NATO members. David Cameron has faced repeated calls to commit to spending 2 per cent of the budget on defence . 'We made a commitment at Nato. We are spending it today.

Yesterday Mr Hussen, who went to this rally and another similar one with his daughter and wife Fetia, conceded they might have influenced the youngster, who would have been 13 at the time. \u2018The only reason we took her first time, was because there was no one to look after her and we both felt it important to go,\u2019 he said.

+{"article": "A controversial pro-Israel advocacy group known for publicly criticizing Islam can display its political advertisement containing the phrase 'Killing Jews is Worship' on New York City's buses, a judge ruled this week. Judge John Koeltl said in a decision made public Tuesday that the incendiary ad is speech protected under the First Amendment. He said he was sensitive to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's claim that the poster could incite violence and appreciates the efforts necessary to prevent violent attacks targeting Jewish people. AFDI 1, MTA 0: A federal judge has ordered the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to run on its buses anti-Islam ads featuring the phrase 'Killing Jews is Worship' created by the pro-Israel lobby American Freedom Defense Initiative . But he noted that substantially the same advertisement ran in San Francisco and Chicago in 2013 without incident. He added that examples of violent attacks cited by the MTA show that individuals may commit heinous acts without warning. Koeltl also noted that the MTA and Chairman Thomas Prendergast 'underestimate the tolerant quality of New Yorkers and overestimate the potential impact of these fleeting advertisements.' 'Under the First Amendment, the fear of such spontaneous attacks, without more, cannot override individuals' rights to freedom of expression,' Koeltl said in a ruling dated Monday. He delayed enforcing his order to run the ads by a month so it can be appealed. MTA spokesman Adam Lisberg said the agency is disappointed in the ruling and is preparing a response. It came in a lawsuit filed last year by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, an organization headed by firebrand blogger Pamela Geller that's behind the advertisement. David Yerushalmi, a lawyer for the organization, said the decision 'sends a strong message both to government bureaucrats who would restrict our freedom of speech based upon what they perceive to be a global jihadist threat, and it also sends a telling message to our enemies abroad and at home: Their threats of violence will not prevent the courts from upholding the First Amendment.' The lawsuit said Geller's group buys the advertisements to express its message on current events and public issues 'including issues such as Islam's hatred of Jews.'

A gangster who lived a life of luxury in a mansion near Premier League footballers has been jailed for 16 years after being unmasked as the head of a drugs ring. Father-of-two Paul Doyle, 56, moved his family into an \u00a3820,000 home in Altrincham, Cheshire, despite having never worked and living life \u2018on tick\u2019 and incapacity handouts. Doyle - described as a \u2018well-known and colourful character\u2019 in his native Salford - put down a \u00a3200,000 deposit and obtained a \u00a3600,000 mortgage by falsely claiming his wife Jeanette, 49, worked as a company executive. But his family were probed after scandalising the leafy neighbourhood in Altrincham where his teenage son regularly rode quad bikes around the streets and later received an Asbo for terrorising other local children who complained of being robbed and beaten up. Police kept watch on the family\u2019s home where Doyle chopped down the huge front hedge so he could check for unwanted visitors outside. He was eventually arrested during a raid on his five-bedroom house after a major investigation into the supply of various drugs in the North of England, which culminated in the seizure of \u00a315million of cocaine and a haul of heroin. The family have since lost the property and Mrs Doyle is now living in a council house in Salford. Doyle admitted supplying class A and B drugs, between 2012 and 2014, plus money laundering and benefit fraud offences at Manchester Crown Court. He now faces a proceeds of crime hearing. Going in: Police are seen raiding Doyle's \u00a3820,000 five-bedroom home in Altrincham, Cheshire, in July 2014 . Luxurious life: Doyle put down a \u00a3200,000 deposit and obtained a \u00a3600,000 mortgage on the property (above) by falsely claiming his wife Jeanette, 49, worked as a company executive . The court heard Doyle had bought the house as his \u2018dream family home\u2019 in 2004 after being freed from a seven-year jail term for cocaine and cannabis dealing plus assault. He was claiming tax credits and other handouts, saying two heart attacks made him unable to work. But he fraudulently claimed Mrs Doyle earned \u00a3197,000 a year as a \u2018project executive\u2019 for a lettings firm and she was given a mortgage of \u00a3616,000. Monthly mortgage repayments were about \u00a33,000 but the accounts were consistently in arrears. And in June 2006 Doyle took out loans totalling \u00a383,000 with finance companies by making similar false representations about Mrs Doyle\u2019s income - and even acquired a new BMW vehicle. Despite the late mortgage payments Doyle paid \u00a3450,000 into his and his wife\u2019s bank accounts over a six-year period between 2006 and 2012. On average monthly deposits of \u00a35,778 were made totalling around \u00a377,000 per year. Police began secretly filming Doyle and started to track his car.

+{"article": "A writer and victim of date rape has revealed why she is pushing for 'yes means yes' sex contracts to become mandatory on college campuses across the country. New Yorker Amanda Chatel explained in her essay for Your Tango that adoption of the 'yes means yes' law, which defines consent as 'affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity' from each partner, is just one step in combating society's prevalent rape culture. 'As a victim of date rape, when it comes to consent I strongly feel there is no grey area,' she wrote. 'Unfortunately, at the time, I was too young and naive to realize that because I never actually said, \u201cNo,\u201d I was a willing participant.' Inciting change: New Yorker Amanda Chatel explained in an essay that she is a victim of rape who is advocating for 'yes means yes' laws to be passed in states across the country . The 'yes means yes' law, which was first passed in California in 2014, is a spin on the old sexual assault mantra 'no means no'. The legislation declares that all colleges and universities taking financial aid funding from California must adhere to the standard for consent outlined by the law, which reiterates that a lack of resistance or objection does not imply consent - a concept that Amanda struggled with years following her sexual assault. Amanda explained for a long time she blamed herself because he 'came on strong' and she was a 'bit inebriated' 'But now, several years later, I know, more than ever, that my consent was not given, and it was rape. End of story,' she wrote. Amanda even noted that she was unable to attach the word 'rape' to what had happened to her and instead referred the assault as 'sex I didn\u2019t want'. At the time, she said that like many women, she didn't even consider going to the police after she was raped, a mistake that she noted she will 'never make again'. According to statistics, an estimated one out of five women will be sexually assaulted during their college careers. No shame: The New Yorker wrote that she blamed herself for years after her sexual assault because never actually said 'No', even though she wasn't a willing participant . 'It\u2019s both disheartening and disgusting that we even need a law that stipulates that a woman must be able to give consent or else it\u2019s rape,' Amanda said of today's rape culture. In Connecticut, state officials are now considering the adoption of a similar 'yes means yes' bill. And while Amanda said the law is 'great in theory', she explained that 'we need to change the way people think of rape' before the law will prove to be effective. 'I believe more than anything is that we need to teach boys and men NOT to rape,' she said. 'We need to make them see that women and girls are not their personal playthings, that we were not put on this earth for their pleasure, and if we drink too much at a party,", "summary": "Amanda Chatel explained that nationwide adoption of the law is just one step in battling society's prevalent rape culture .

The Chancellor appeared to leave the door open when asked if he would be \u2018depriving more families\u2019 of the payments which are worth more than \u00a31,000 per year. More than a million households lost out when the Coalition announced that families with one parent earning \u00a350,000 would pay tax on child benefit. Earners over \u00a360,000 lost out altogether. Scroll down for video . Chancellor George Osborne, pictured visiting the Red Cone Cafe in Stourbridge, refused to rule out further cuts to child benefit if the Conservatives win a second term . The controversial measure, brought in two and a half years ago as part of the Government\u2019s austerity programme, was criticised for penalising single-earner families and stay-at-home mothers. It meant anyone earning less than \u00a350,000 \u2013 even a couple on \u00a349,000 each - still received the full entitlement of \u00a320.70 a week for the first child, and \u00a313.70 for every subsequent child. Mr Osborne was asked at a briefing in central London on the economy this morning whether he could \u2018rule out depriving more people of child benefit, like you\u2019ve already done in this Parliament?\u2019 The Conservatives say they would cut \u00a330billion of spending if they win a second term. Of this \u00a312billion would be slashed from the welfare bill, with the rest from government departments and further cracking down on tax avoidance. While the Prime Minister has given a commitment to protect the state pension, few other savings have been set out apart from reducing the cap on a family\u2019s annual benefits from \u00a326,000 to \u00a323,000. Mr Osborne did not directly answer about reducing the threshold, only saying that child benefit would not be replaced by the new benefits system Universal Credit, which is being rolled out nationally. The respected think tank the Institute for Fiscal Studies have suggested that increasing Universal Credit for some families and using it instead of child benefit could save \u00a34.8billion a year. The Chancellor said: \u2018You can judge us on our record in this Parliament. If we wanted to put child benefit into Universal Credit we would have done it when we set up Universal Credit. \u2018We\u2019ve got a track record, we\u2019ve got a plan based on clear principles of making work pay, sharpening work incentives.\u2019 Asked again why he did not rule out any type of child benefit cuts, he said: \u2018I\u2019ve given you a very clear answer. We\u2019ve created a welfare system where child poverty is down, inequality is down, we have a record low number of workless households and what we are doing is creating welfare system where it pays to work and we protect the most vulnerable. \u2018We are going to carry on doing that in the next Parliament.

+{"article": "James Staring, a London-based personal trainer, says there are four simple ways to banish belly fat . Many of us dream of a flat stomach and washboard abs. But despite dieting and exercising, fat around the middle can be especially hard to shift. Now, personal trainer James Staring, from Fit to Last, a London-based fitness company, claims he has four simple tips which can help anyone achieve an enviable stomach area. From writing a food diary to doing short burst of tough exercise, he reveals the best ways to burn away belly fat... Avoid white bread and pasta and only eat carbohydrates after exercise . Avoid carbohydrates that are refined i.e. white bread and pasta as these enter your blood stream much faster. They are also absorbed very quickly, and cause an insulin spike followed by a dip in energy. Unprocessed carbohydrates (i.e. whole grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits) increase feelings of feeling full and release sugar into the blood stream at a much slower rate. This stabilises blood sugar level, so you don\u2019t get peaks and troughs, and your body composition will likewise remain stable. According to Dr. John Berardi from Precision Nutrition, your body is more capable of processing carbohydrates directly after exercise \u2013 so this is the best time to eat them. HOW THIS WILL HELP YOU: When you consume excess carbohydrate (and, by extension, if your carbohydrate consumption isn\u2019t paired with activity) these carbohydrates are stored for future use, often as body fat. Do full body exercises . The more muscle groups you use, the more calories you will burn both during and after exercising. By doing complex movements (i.e. chin-ups) as opposed to isolation movements (i.e. bicep curls) you are using more of your body at once, therefore requiring more energy. You will burn more calories after exercise due to EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption). When you start exercising your body goes from rest to increased metabolic activity, thereby requiring more oxygen. Carrying out full body exercises will speed up metabolism and means a person will burn more calories afterwards. This will assist in losing inches around the middle . Your body\u2019s delay in responding to this increased oxygen requirement causes \u2018oxygen debt\u2019. When you finish an exercise session your body \u2018pays back\u2019 this oxygen debt through EPOC. Your body needs to consume more oxygen to replenish energy and nutrients, causing more calories to be burned. HOW THIS WILL HELP YOU: EPOC has the additional benefit of increasing your daily energy expenditure as well as your metabolism, turning your body into a calorie-burning furnace, which will assist in losing those inches around the middle. Do short bursts of high intensity exercise . The most common excuse for not exercising is lack of time. But if you want to lose belly fat, you must exercise, full stop. Doing short bursts of high intensity exercise leads to higher energy demands and more calories burned, which will help shed weight from the stomach . According to a study from Canada\u2019s McMaster University, high intensity interval training (short blasts of exercise", "summary": "Personal trainer James Staring advises how to achieve a flat stomach .

The 28-year-old was diagnosed with the cancer seven months into her pregnancy, and doctors told her she could give birth via a caesarean section and undergo chemotherapy but both would require her to have a blood transfusion. The Sydney woman refused both options due to her religious beliefs and her baby died in utero three days later. She had a stillbirth and died 13 days after her diagnosis after suffering a stroke and multi-organ failure. A pregnant Jehovah's Witness woman and her baby have died after she refused a blood transfusion . Her treating haematologist at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick, Dr Giselle Kidson-Gerber, said the mother understood the risks of her refusal to accept blood. 'Her refusal to receive a blood transfusion meant that we were unable to perform a caesarean section and to deliver the foetus,' Dr Kidson-Gerber told Daily Mail Australia. 'Obviously it's a very big ethical issue. Legally in Australia the mother has the right to make decisions on her behalf and her foetus's behalf. 'Most mothers would make decisions in favour of the unborn baby and this was a decision that was not in favour of the unborn baby.' Dr Kidson-Gerber added: 'If we were to give chemotherapy without blood transfusion support she surely would have died.' Hospital staff were 'distressed' over what were perceived to be two avoidable deaths, as 83 percent of pregnant leukemia sufferers go into remission with treatment. Dr Kidson-Gerber said it was a challenge to respect a patient who refuses life-saving treatment. 'It was sad. I think that I did my best to help her. But ultimately I couldn't change the course of events,' she said. The 28-year-old had pregnancy complications due to her leukemia but rejected treatment on religious grounds . In a recent article published in the Internal Medicine Journal about the 2009 case, Dr Kidson-Gerber and her colleague Dr Amber Biscoe wrote: 'Not administering blood products in this case undoubtedly contributed to the death of mother and foetus. 'Refusal of a lifesaving intervention by an informed patient is generally well respected, but the rights of a mother to refuse such interventions on behalf of her foetus is more controversial.' Sascha Callaghan, an expert in ethics and law at the University of Sydney said the current law allows the mother to make decisions that would directly affect her unborn baby, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. She said Jehovah's Witnesses are often condemned for their beliefs, especially in relation to their stance against blood transfusions. 'This woman has a long-held commitment to the Jehovah's Witness faith and that's how she chose to die,' she told the Herald. 'When your foetus is in utero, it is inextricably tied to your life.'

William Smith was just 15 when he fell in love with his best friend's mother, Marilyn Buttigieg, who was then 44 years old. The couple, from Crawley, West Sussex, shared their first date and kiss in September 2005. They came under fire from family and friends for the substantial age gap when they became an item when William was 16. Scroll down for video . William Smith was just 16 when he fell in love with his best friend's mother, Marilyn Buttigieg, then 44 . But they feel they have proved their critics wrong because they are still together. The pair tied the knot six years ago this month, after being together for four years. Grandmother-of-eight Marilyn, now 54, said: 'The age gap doesn't matter. Age is just a number and it's about time people got over it.' William, now 25, says it was love at first sight when he clasped eyes on Marilyn - after being invited round to play computer games with her son. William, who unusually took his wife's surname when they got married, said: 'Three or four months went by, then another couple of months - I didn't have the courage to say anything about it, probably due to the fact of the age gap, and the fact she was my mate's mum.' The grandmother-of-eight, 54, said: 'The age gap doesn't matter' and she 'Couldn't wish for anything better' When he finally asked her out, the mother-of-seven dumped her then husband and entered a relationship with the teen. The couple faced a lot of criticism from people who disapproved of the 29-year age gap and predicted the marriage was doomed to failure - and Marilyn's children have all but cut off contact with the loved-up pair. Marilyn, who works at a doctors' surgery in Crawley Down, said of their marriage: 'I couldn't wish for anything better than my marriage and husband. 'We proved all critics wrong. Everybody was saying it wasn't going to last - we've proved we are a real thing.' William added: 'I don't look at Marilyn and think, 'She's nearly 30 years older than me.' She's a nice person so age doesn't matter.' William says it was love at first sight when he clasped eyes on Marilyn . Mother-of-seven Marilyn said she and William still had to put up with people giving them the occasional odd looks in the street. Previously-wed Marilyn added: 'I suppose we always will but people should realise by now after all these years it's a real thing and let us be. We thought it would stop. 'We would always have the odd looks, we don't really care to be honest. 'We've had so much grief over the years nothing shocks us any more. The age gap doesn't matter. 'Age is just a number and it's about time people got over it.'

Andy Lee (left) lines up with (L-R) Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson and his opponent Peter Quillin in New York .

A convicted murderer who murdered and dismembered his teenage victim has had boiling hot water thrown over him in an apparent revenge attack in a Scottish prison. William Beggs, 54, known as the Limbs in the Loch murderer, was described by police at the time of his conviction in 2001 as a 'serial killer in the making'. Beggs is serving a life sentence in Saughton Prison, Edinburgh, for raping, murdering and dismembering Barry Wallace, 18, in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, in 1999. The teenager's limbs and torso were found in Loch Lomond and his head was dumped in the sea off the Ayrshire coast. Beggs screamed in pain as boiling water was thrown over his face and hands in the cell attack, the Scottish Daily Record reported yesterday. The alleged attacker was due for release this year and has since been moved to Shotts Prison. He reportedly told friends he was taking revenge after Beggs attacked him soon after he arrived at the prison. It is understood Beggs was treated for burns in the prison's infirmary but did not need to attend hospital. The teenager's limbs and torso were found in Loch Lomond (pictured) and his head was dumped in the sea .

In 2001 a jury found Beggs took the teenager to his flat and subjected him to a serious sexual assault. Beggs is serving a life sentence for murdering and dismembering shop worker Barry Wallace (pictured) He then murdered him and cut up his body. Shortly after the crime, Beggs, originally from Northern Ireland, fled to the Netherlands. After lengthy extradition proceedings, he was ordered in January 2001 to be returned to Scotland to face trial. After the High Court jury delivered their majority verdict and found him guilty it was revealed Beggs was once cleared of a similar murder by appeal court judges on a technicality. Beggs was jailed in 1987 at Teeside Crown Court for murdering a barman he met in a gay nightclub by slashing his throat, only to have the conviction overturned by the Court of Appeal, the BBC reported at the time. The court also learned that at the same trial Beggs was convicted of two charges of wounding and sentenced to four months for each.

In the week that Liverpool\u2019s Raheem Sterling spoke about his unwillingness to agree a new contract at Anfield, Pellegrini\u2019s comments suggest that City may look to invest heavily in other teams\u2019 homegrown talent this summer. Premier League regulations require clubs to carry at least eight homegrown players, which can include youngsters who have spent three of their formative years at an English club. FA chairman Greg Dyke is pushing for the figure to be raised to 12. Manuel Pellegrini says the academy players at Manchester City are not ready for the first team . Pellegrini's assertions may mean City buy English players like Raheem Sterling to reach homegrown quotas . Everton's England international midfield player Ross Barkley has also been linked with City . But the lack of suitable candidates emerging from Patrick Vieira\u2019s academy means City\u2019s only option will be to buy in the bulk of their quota, with the defending league champions also linked with Arsenal\u2019s Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley of Everton. City\u2019s current group of home-grown players will be reduced in the summer when Frank Lampard departs and it could be further depleted if James Milner, who wants guarantees of more regular first-team football, opts to leave. Coincidentally, Liverpool is Milner\u2019s most likely destination should he leave but the prospect of Sterling moving in the opposite direction has been increased to the point that bookmakers rate City his most likely destination next season. City\u2019s youth system has come under fire in recent seasons for its lack of productivity. Belgian defender Dedryck Boyata, who has started nine league games in nearly six years at City, is the only former academy player anywhere near first-team contention. Pellegrini said: \u2018We must be patient with the academy. Young players are important. Maybe it\u2019s not so easy for young players, especially at big clubs, to play in the first team, with the professional squad.

A new campaign from Rape Crisis London has captured hundreds of women across London in various outfits to point out that no matter what they choose to wear they are not asking to be raped . The initiative, created by Rape Crisis London, aims to stamp out any suggestion that a woman can be blamed for her attack because of her choice in clothing. To accompany the hashtag, the campaign has also produced over 2,000 photographs of 200 women in London accompanied by the logo #ThisDoesn'tMeanYes. The images, shot by photographer Perou in Braithwaite Tunnel, aim to demonstrate that no matter what a woman wears she never deserves to be raped and the fault is always with the attacker.

Seven out of 10 business chiefs at Britain's biggest companies think Ed Miliband would be a 'catastrophe' for Britain, a survey has revealed. The poll of FTSE 100 chairman has revealed overwhelming support for David Cameron to remain Prime Minister, despite the widespread business concern over his pledge to hold an in-out referendum on Europe. It comes just days after more than 100 company bosses signed a letter warning against a Labour government. It also echoes controversial remarks by the Boots chief executive Stefano Pessina who sparked fury after claiming it would be a 'catastrophe' for the UK if Labour won the election. The poll of 35 business chairman, by the headhunters Korn Ferry, is a further blow to Labour which is struggling to repair its relationship with big business after a series of controversial policy announcements. Mr Miliband last week vowed to ban 90 per cent of zero-hours contracts and unveiled proposals to make it easier for workers to take their bosses to court for unfair dismissal. He also confirmed plans to raise corporation tax for the first time in 40 years to raise cash for a \u00a3400 cut in business rates for smaller firms. One of the FTSE 100 bosses surveyed, who did not want to be named, said businesses could work with Labour's shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna and its economics chief Ed Balls. But he said Mr Miliband's 'tone and rhetoric' had proved 'deeply disturbing', adding: 'At times his language is vitriolic and he appears to completely misunderstand business.' Mr Umunna, speaking on Radio 5 Live today, Umunna insisted Labour was no anti-business and defended Mr Miliband's recent announcemtn that Labour would all-but outlaw zero-hours contracts. Mr Umunna admitted not all zero-hours contracts were 'awful and bad', but insisted many workers were being exploited. Scroll down for video . Mr Miliband has vowed to force companies to offer staff a full time contract if they have been working regular hours for three months. Mr Umunna said: 'I think this will be massively helpful. There are 1.8million zero hours contracts now and I think this will transform people's lives.' The shadow business secretary has also pointed to Labour's refusal to offer a European referendum as a policy which business supported. David Cameron and George Osborne, out campaigning today, have jumped on business criticism of the Labour Party to boost their core campaign message that only the Tories can be trusted with the economy . He said: 'Business people have been very impressed that Ed took a decision on a matter of principle on the in-out referendum. It would have been easier to dance to Nigel Farage's tune, as the Conservatives have done.'

And after extraordinary seasons in which they have both smashed the 35-goal mark, Chelsea's teenage strike duo Tammy Abraham and Dominic Solanke are certainly flush at the moment. The two 17-year-olds are in the form of their young lives, enhancing their reputations every time they find the net and boosting their chances of Jose Mourinho handing them some game time once the Premier League title has been secured. Tammy Abraham scores for Chelsea during their 3-1 FA Youth Cup final first leg win against Manchester City . Striker Dominic Solanke celebrates after scoring Chelsea's third goal at the Academy Stadium on Monday . And after the Portuguese manager said his first-team squad had space for 'three or four kids' next season, there is every incentive to keep scoring. The latest victim of their remarkable goalscoring spree was Manchester City in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup final on Monday night. Chelsea will take a commanding 3-1 lead into the second leg at Stamford Bridge after Abraham's double - which took his tally to 36 for the season - was added to late on by Solanke, who has now reached 35. The Blues have consciously tried to recruit talented young players from the London area and Camberwell-born Abraham, who joined the club in the under eights, is a success story of this policy. By any standards, he has enjoyed an exceptional season and one that has featured numerous milestones in his development. Most striking has been the sheer volume of goals for the under 18 team, who finished 10 points clear at the top of the southern section of the Premier League at that age group, and are currently competing in the play-off round. Abraham is top scorer in the whole competition with 22 goals. Solanke (No 9) celebrates with Abraham after the latter's second goal of the night and 36th this season .

It has been the kind of scoring sequence where pretty much anything struck seems to fly into the top corner and that was the case for Abraham's first goal against City. Controlling Charlie Colkett's excellent ball over the top to allow it to run across his body, he sent his shot spearing into the top corner. It was a moment that drew considerable attention on Twitter. Little wonder the dreadlocked frontman described 'scoring goals as the best feeling ever' in an interview after the match.

In a shock result that sent shockwaves through Downing Street, the Labour leader jumped ahead of the Prime Minister in personal approval ratings. Not impressed: Six-year-old Lucy Howarth looked positively uninterested as the Prime Minister read a story at Sacred Heart Primary School near Bolton earlier this week . The Labour Party also took a commanding four point lead over the Tories, according to the pollsters Survation. On Wednesday, Mr Cameron failed to get the desired response from a six-year-old schoolgirl who looked positively uninterested as he read a story to her classmates at Sacred Heart Primary School near Bolton. Yesterday, another campaign gaffe saw Mr Cameron wade into the Cornwall Devon debate about how to eat a scone - getting the two counties contrasting traditions mixed up. The Tory leader has spent the day campaigning in Devon, where he must win several seats if he is to stand any chance of winning a majority. But his hopes of courting support in the county were given a knock with his food faux pas as he chatted with staff and customers of Tea by the Taw on The Strand in Barnstaple, the North Devon Gazette reported. David Cameron, on a visit to Devon this morning, made the blunder of confusing the two methods for eating a cream tea . All good politicians know how to make small talk with voters, but the jam and cream debate is no trifling matter. In an attempt to woo the locals, Mr Cameron ventured: 'When you are in Devon you do the jam and the cream in a different order to Cornwall, is that right?' Sensing a gaffe was imminent, he went on: 'I'm going to get this wrong, aren't I?' His prediction was correct, as he added: 'In Devon it's... jam first and cream on top?' His comments were greeted with silence and stony faces, as the staff realised someone was going to have to put the Prime Minister right.", "summary": "PM appeared weary with bags under eyes at event in Plymouth yesterday .

What is retrograde amnesia? Amnesia is the name given to a disturbance in the ability to recall stored memories. It is usually caused by disease or head injury, but in rare cases can occur apparently spontaneously. The memory loss associated with amnesia can include everything from a person's past or just portions of it. In most cases, it is a temporary condition, lasting from a few seconds to a few hours. But in severe cases, it can last months or even years. There are several different types of amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is an inability to remember any events that occurred before the accident or illness. The leading hypotheses are some form of epileptic event, a problem with blood circulation around, to or from the brain, or some kind of migraine-like phenomenon. Usually, the affected person cannot remember events shortly before their accident or illness at all, but their memories of the distant past are intact, and there is a gradient of memory loss between the two extremes.

There should always be scrutiny on England players\u2019 places, I have no problem with that, but we have to be careful we do not get confused between Broad the bowler and Broad the batsman. Fact is, in the last 14 Tests Broad has taken 63 wickets at 24 apiece which is pretty good considering he\u2019s been carrying niggles and injuries. So there has not been much wrong with his bowling even though, as I said on Wednesday, he\u2019s not quite at his best following his long lay-off after surgery. Stuart Broad (right) was dismissed for a duck in England's first innings against West Indies in Antigua . Broad will always give you something different even though he can overdo it at times, and has always had the ability to get something out of a flat pitch. I still like the fact that he can turn into the enforcer, as he did before lunch on day three, and that he\u2019s a clever bowler, as he showed on the second day when he rolled his fingers down the side of the ball and dismissed Marlon Samuels with a leg-cutter. Broad and Jimmy Anderson are an outstanding combination, taking 526 wickets between them in the 70 Tests they have played together \u2014 a record that has seen them stand comparison with the partnership of Sir Ian Botham and Bob Willis. The 28-year-old has seen his place in the side questioned, but he still produces with the ball .

He has an ability to come up with that magic spell, one that changes the whole course of a match as we have seen him do in big Ashes Tests. He gets under the skin of the Aussies, too, which is never a bad thing. So this downer that I am sensing among the English cricket public clearly comes from the complete demise of Broad the batsman.

+{"article": "France has joined Italy and Israel in passing laws banning the promotion of extreme thinness in the fashion industry. The health reforms, which include fining agencies employing models with a BMI under 18 and criminalising pro-anorexia web content, have now passed through the upper house of parliament. An analysis of the reforms by Sarah Jackson, a research psychologist at University College London, suggested that censoring images of ultra-thin models may ease their adverse effects on young women, such as concerns about body image and behaviours such as unhealthy eating. But while some have been hailing the legislation as a 'crackdown on anorexia', the laws may be unlikely to have any such effect. The view that anorexia is caused by comparing oneself to catwalk models remains popular. But Rachel Cole-Fletcher, of Durham University says it is not a lifestyle choice and personality traits are to blame (file photo) Not a lifestyle choice . In Western Europe, around 0.5 per cent of adults are thought to be affected by anorexia nervosa. In around 10 per cent of these cases, the sufferers are men. These figures, however, are likely to be an underestimation. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness, mostly due to organ failure and suicide. Yet, the illness is often mistaken by many as a lifestyle choice with an external cause. Despite accounts of the disorder pre-dating the fashion industry, the view that anorexia is caused by comparing oneself to a catwalk model remains popular. Likewise, while pro-ana websites insist that anorexia is a commitment, not an illness, they are highly exclusive online communities, created by and for those already showing signs of the illness. The merely curious are not welcome. High levels of perfectionism, a need for organisation and a focus on details are often observed in those with anorexia, studies have shown . Instead, the link between media endorsement of extreme thinness and the development of anorexia is neither simple nor clear. Research mentioned by Ms Jackson did find that women evaluated their bodies more negatively after viewing images of thin models. However, this effect was small and mostly determined by women's pre-existing opinions of their figures \u2013 women who were already dissatisfied with their body were most affected. As this effect was only measured at one point in time, the effects of prolonged exposure are not known, but when more images were used there was a tendency for the effect to be smaller. Perhaps, as the authors suggested, these images activated, rather than cultivated, beauty ideals. Whether the effects of media exposure on body dissatisfaction leads to changes in eating behaviour is also unclear. Another study, also cited by Jackson, looked for a link between a person's real-life media exposure and eating disorder symptoms. The results were fairly inconsistent, with some factors \u2013 such as body dissatisfaction \u2013 only corresponding to some types of media, and others \u2013 such as self-worth \u2013 showing no relationship.

In a bold pitch to blue collar voters who delivered Lady Thatcher\u2019s three election victories, the Prime Minister will call the Tories \u2018the party of working people\u2019. He will pledge discounts of up to 70 per cent to allow all 1.3million families in housing association properties to buy their home. Scroll down for video . Thatcher's plan: Prime Minister David Cameron will announce an extension of the right-to-buy scheme which will allow all 1.3million families in housing association properties to buy their home . The subsidy will be funded by forcing councils to sell off their most expensive properties when they become vacant. Mr Cameron will borrow a phrase used by Mrs Thatcher in her first speech as party leader to declare the \u2018dream of a property-owning democracy is alive \u2013 and we will fulfil it\u2019. \u2018The next Conservative government will extend the right-to-buy to all housing association tenants in this country \u2013 1.3million extra families \u2013 a new generation given the security of a home of their own,\u2019 he will say. Mr Cameron is also expected to promise to link the minimum wage to increases in the income tax allowance \u2013 meaning more than a million workers on \u00a36.50 an hour will pay no tax at all. Original plan: The right-to-buy scheme became Lady Thatcher\u2019s most famous single policy . Launching his party\u2019s election manifesto, the Prime Minister will urge voters not to risk a change of government: \u2018Let\u2019s not waste the past five years. \u2018Now is not a time to put it all at risk, but to build on the progress we have made. 'We are the party of working people. So if you want a more secure Britain, if you want a brighter future for your family, and for you, then together, let\u2019s build on what we\u2019ve done \u2013 and see this through.\u2019 The pledge to extend right-to-buy, which was introduced in 1980 but has now been stopped in its tracks by Labour in Wales and the SNP in Scotland, will delight the Tory faithful, who were buoyed last night by a six-point poll lead over Labour. Senior figures, including Iain Duncan Smith, Boris Johnson and David Davis, have been calling for the measure to be at the heart of the party\u2019s manifesto. The original right-to-buy saw more than 1.5million council homes being sold off at discounted rates. Leading to a surge in home ownership, it became Lady Thatcher\u2019s most famous single policy. The Coalition government has already increased right-to-buy discounts for council homes, meaning more are moving into the private sector. But most tenants living in homes provided by housing associations \u2013 not-for-profit bodies that have gradually replaced councils as the main providers of social housing \u2013 do not qualify. Enabling them to buy their homes is expected to require major changes to the 1996 Housing Act, and is likely to be fiercely opposed by housing associations themselves.

The Los Angeles-based company has switched to a web-only retail model following the closure of all of its 94 locations, with the brand now encouraging customers to shop online,The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday.

Making it work: The retailer announced on it's website that it 'no longer' has store locations while reminding customers that its 'online store offers the same selection of products' 'As a company, I think they became old and stale,' Ron Friedman, a retail expert at consulting and accounting firm Marcum, told The Los Angeles Times. 'Victoria's Secret has been a home run compared to them.' But Mr Friedman went on to say that Frederick's of Hollywood Group Inc. can still be successful with careful corporate strategy. 'They have to really focus and hire people that really understand the online business,' he noted. Founder Frederick Mellinger opened the pinup-inspired lingerie brand's first store in Los Angeles in 1947 and went on to launch a mail order catalog in the 1960s, later adding sex toys and more risqu\u00e9 attire to the company's offerings. Mr Mellinger, who famously said 'sex appeal is always in style', died in 1990 at the age of 76. A decade later in 2000, his namesake company, which once had pin-up icon Bettie Page modeling its lingerie, declared bankruptcy. After emerging from bankruptcy in 2003, the company went public in 2006. Party's over: The Frederick's of Hollywood store pictured was one of the 94 locations that have been closed .

While Frederick's of Hollywood has changed the way it does business, one A-list celebrity has recently been reminiscing about her relationship with the brand.

The Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network, an anti-vaccinations lobby group, posted an image to their Facebook page on Thursday which shows a man holding a woman with his hand over her mouth in an aggressive silencing gesture. The tag line on the image read, 'Forced penetration. Really- no big deal, if it's just a vaccination needle and he's a doctor. Do you really \"need\" control over over your own choices?'. The Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network has come under fire for comparing vaccinations to rape . The image was posted in response to tough new laws announced by Social Services Minister Scott Morrison earlier in April, which means that parents will no longer be able to access childcare benefits simply by signing a form that says they object to immunisation based on 'personal, philosophical or religious' reasons. However, a president of the Australian Vaccination-skeptics Network said the message had nothing to do with the group. 'I can state categorically that The Australian Vaccination-skeptics Network Inc does not support or agree with the sentiments or messages portrayed in the picture,' she said. 'We do not own the page it was posted on.' 'What the Australian Vaccination-skeptics Network does support and believe in, is the right of ALL parents to make an informed choice in regards to vaccinating their children, whether they vaccinate, selectively vaccinate or do not vaccinate at all,' she said. 'We are pro-choice, pro-information and pro-parental rights. The new federal law, which was in part prompted by the death of one-month-old Riley Hughes from complications arising from whooping cough, means that parents who refuse to immunise their children are set to lose up to $15,000 a year for every child when the changes come into force from January 1, 2016. The post, which has since been removed, caused an instant outcry from followers and opponents of the group alike, with social media users labelling the post 'tasteless', 'disgusting', and a possible trigger for those who had suffered sexual assault. 'Dear rape victims, according to the rabid anti-vaxxers what you went thru is no worse than. Shame,' said one social media user. 'Are you saying that your child being immunised is as bad as your child being raped? This could also be very triggering for victims of sexual assault,' said another. The administrator of the page defended the post, maintaining that is wasn't tasteless, but honest. 'What truly is tasteless is our elected government trying to tell us that we have to vaccinate our children even if we don\u2019t believe it is best for their health,' the administrator wrote. 'That is tasteless.

Durst was arrested on March 14 on charges of possession of a weapon by a felon and possession of a gun with a controlled substance, which carry a combined maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, but has yet to be formally charged.

A GP attacked two Tube workers while screaming 'I'm a doctor' because she did not want to miss the last train home on a Friday night. Dr Sahar Hussain, 53, panicked when she was unable to get through the gates at Leicester Square station, and started ranting at staff. She denied assaulting the two workers, saying she was worried about being stranded on her own in central London because she is a Muslim woman. But Hussain has now been found guilty and ordered to pay a total of \u00a32,250 in fines, compensation and court costs - and she could face disciplinary action from the General Medical Council. In video footage captured on her own mobile phone, Hussain could be heard to shout: 'I'm a doctor actually, I work for the NHS. I'm a doctor. Get me through the gate, I'm going to miss my train.' City of London Magistrates' Court heard Hussain arrived at the station around 11.30pm on June 20 last year, trying to get home to Woodford Green after socialising with friends in the West End. When she was refused entry by the automatic gates, she demanded that ticket seller Malcolm Shaw let her through before lashing out at his colleague Indira Ramsaroop, who was trying to help. Hussain, originally from Iraq, screamed and shouted at Mrs Ramsaroop as she thrust a camera phone into her face before grabbing her by the arm. The 24-year-old Transport for London worker was then chased by the doctor as she tried to flee to the control room, bumping her head on the way. In the video on Hussain's phone she was heard shouting: 'This woman is on something, she's not sober is she? You're in work and you're not sober. Get me through the gate.' During the scuffle Hussain, a mother of one who helps train GPs at two universities, also grabbed Mr Shaw by the arms, leaving him with scratches. Mrs Ramsaroop was close to tears in court as she told how she had to take almost two weeks off work following the incident, adding: 'I had a lot of sleepless nights. It had an impact on myself with customers when I came back to work. 'I have felt very let down to have been threatened and been running away in my place of work.

While Mr Miliband has ruled out going into coalition with the SNP, Ms Sturgeon's remarks raise the prospect of Labour ruling as a minority government - despite winning fewer votes and seats than the Tories.

Ms Sturgeon was asked on BBC2's Newsnight whether her party would be ready to prop up a Labour government if the party had fewer seats than the Conservatives. She replied: ' Yes. Even if the Tories are the largest party, if there is an anti Tory majority, my offer to Labour is to work together to keep the Tories out.' Asked if this would remain her position even if Mr Cameron had 30 more MPs than Mr Miliband, she confirmed: ' If there is an anti Tory majority, yes, that's what I've been saying all along - I'm not sure why there's any confusion about it - that we would work with Labour to stop the Tories getting into Downing Street.' And if the margin was as wide as 40 MPs, she said: ' If they can't command a majority they can't be a government, that's the basic rule of how governments are formed I'd have thought.'

The fossilised remains of badgers were found in old dens within the cave alongside Neanderthal camps . The remains of other canivores including cave bears, hyenas, leopards, wolves and badgers have been found in the cave and were apparently also living there. While some of the bones may have been brought there by the Neanderthals themselves, it seems they were also sharing the cave with these other predators. Scratches on the walls and hibernations nests particularly indicate that cave bears spent a considerable amount of time there. Neanderthals, shown in the artist's impression above, may have lived alongside predators in a cave in Spain . Researchers found several cave bear fossils, similar to the one above, along with scratches on the walls and signs of hibernation nests that suggest they were living in the cave alongside Neanderthals 200,000 years ago . It is hoped the discoveries will help scientists learn more about Neanderthal behaviour and their relationship with the animals they co-existed with. \u2018The excavations have documented regular visits by groups Neanderthals, probably related to hunting animals living around the cave.\u2019 The researchers discovered large numbers of stone tools made by Neanderthals and evidence of camps that were made close to the entrance of the cave. They also found the fossilised bones of Bonal tahr \u2013 a species of wild sheep that became extinct in western Europe 100,000 years ago \u2013 which appear to have been hunted by the Neanderthals. The researchers also found traces of other ungulates including deer, rhinos and megaloceros - a giant species of deer that is now extinct. Neanderthals first emerged around 280,000 years ago, spreading to inhabit much of Europe and parts of Asia, but they eventually died out 40,000 years ago. The reason for their demise was often put down to being a more primative species of human that was unable to compete against the more sophisticated Homo sapiens. They were depicted as thuggish cavemen that scraped an existence on the cold lands of ice age Europe. However, a series of discoveries are now putting Neanderthals into a new light. Stone tools discovered at sites they inhabited suggest they were skilled tool makers with adept hand eye coordination. A 60,000-year-old multi-purpose bone tool unearthed in France also suggests Neanderthals understood how to use bones to make useful devices . A recent discovery by researchers at the Mus\u00e9um National d'Histories Naturelle in Paris suggests that Neanderthals may have built homes using the materials they found around them. They discovered a 26 feet wide building created 44,000 years ago from mammoth bones. Many of the bones had also been decorated carvings and", "summary": "Fossils found in Cave of Llenes in Catalonia, Spain suggests Neanderthals lived alongside other predators like badgers, bears, wolves and leopards .

But in the world of mobile phones, where roaming means using your device abroad, that approach is unwise. Making calls, downloading emails and browsing the internet when in another country can result in very large bills. So how can you keep roaming costs down? The best option is to be with mobile operator Three. Its customers can call and text UK numbers and use data in some countries at no extra cost to their UK price plans. Three is the only operator to offer this arrangement, which it calls Feel At Home. Three's Feel at Home covers 18 destinations in Europe, Australia, the United States, Asia and the Middle East . In September 2013, when Three introduced Feel At Home, it covered seven destinations. I said then that to be a game-changer it needed to expand the service to more countries \u2013 and it has. With Spain and New Zealand added earlier this month, it now applies in 18 countries. In Europe, the deal also covers France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Elsewhere, it covers Australia, the United States, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Israel. Given that Spain, France, Italy and the US are among the most popular destinations for Britons, Three claims that about two-thirds of its customers\u2019 overseas trips are now covered by Feel At Home.

However, these are much lower than other operators\u2019 standard rates in some countries \u2013 for example, 15.6p per minute to call local numbers in the US, Australia and New Zealand. There are some other caveats, too \u2013 one being you can\u2019t \u2018tether\u2019 (use your phone to connect another device to the internet). Check all details on three.co.uk/feelathome. Nonetheless, if you\u2019re travelling to a Feel At Home country, using Three is the most preferable option. When travelling, operators\u2019 bundles/ add-ons usually offer better value than their standard rates . Take roaming in New Zealand. On their standard rates for pay-monthly customers, rival operators charge up to \u00a31.50 a minute for making and receiving calls, 35p to 50p for sending a text, and up to \u00a38 per megabyte of data usage.

Guests attending a service in London to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo have been told not to act in a 'triumphalist' way \u2013 to avoid upsetting the French. Invitations to the service at St Paul's Cathedral advise that it will avoid glorifying the Duke of Wellington's historic victory over Napoleon in 1815. But last night the move was criticised by politicians, who said it 'took political correctness to an absurd new degree'. The invitation to the Waterloo 200 event says: 'The service, although related to a military victory, is not in any way glorifying war, nor must it be seen as triumphalist.' Instead, the service \u2013 to be attended by members of the Royal Family and senior political and military figures \u2013 will focus on the 'pan-European' implications of the battle and the century of peace that followed. Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg, who is bidding to be re-elected as a Somerset MP, said: 'Waterloo was a triumph of good versus evil. Napoleon was responsible for between three million and 6.5 million deaths. 'Two hundred years on, it is ridiculous to spare the blushes of the French by not celebrating the battle for what it was. What next? Will we ask France to apologise for the Battle of Hastings?' The service of commemoration, to take place on the 200th anniversary of Waterloo on June 18, will be the centrepiece of a series of events to mark the battle. Waterloo 200 chairman, Major General Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter, defended the 'no triumphalism' theme. Asked if it looked as though the service was designed to avoid embarrassing the French, he said: 'Some people may read it like that but it's not how we look at it.' He added that the enemy at Waterloo was Napoleon \u2013 not France as such. The commemoration was highlighting the effect of the battle on Europe, not the military campaign or the battle itself. 'What Waterloo brought in was an extended period of peace in Europe after a particularly horrible 20 years of war,' Sir Evelyn said. 'The commemoration looks forward to the European harmony that followed it.' Colin Brown, author of Scum Of The Earth, a new book about Waterloo, said Wellington would not have objected to the non-triumphalist tone.

A kink in the agreement with US studio Lionsgate - under which both Foxtel and rival Netflix share the rights - allows Foxtel to offer episodes of the series as an on-demand streaming title as well. Pedestrian.TV website reports that the one lingering issue that adversely affects Netflix's operations in Australia is pre-existing distribution deals cut for its original shows in markets where, previously, it didn't exist. Taylor Schilling (left) is the main character in Netflix series Orange is the New Black . In Australia, this applies to the way Orange is the New Black was shown 'legally' in the country, leaving the door open for Foxtel to screen the series. Foxtel's priority distribution is the traditional one episode at a time airing method. And all episodes must air in this manner before they can offer the program as an on demand option. However, when the third season of the prison drama premieres on Netflix on June 12, Foxtel will also begin showing the entire season in one continuous marathon, beginning at the same time. The established prison drama is currently one of Netflix's flagship TV shows . Doing this means that when the marathon is completed around 14 or so hours later, Foxtel can then upload the entire season and offer the episodes on an on-demand basis for customers. The popular TV series is based on the book of the same name, by Piper Kerman, about a woman who is sent to prison for a crime she committed in her youth. It's a cast that includes Taylor Schilling, Kate Mulgrew, Natasha Lyonne and Australian actress Yael Stone.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that former MTV Australia and Foxtel presenter Ruby Rose appears in the show's third season, reportedly as a prisoner who becomes in involved with both Piper (Schilling) and Alex (Laura Prepon). In the US, the series is one of the major titles for Netflix there, though the organisation recently clashed with the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which controls the Emmy Awards, over whether the show is considered a comedy or a drama. The upshot is that Orange is the New Black must now compete as a drama at this year's Emmy Awards, a move which means the series will compete directly against Netflix's other flagship show House of Cards.

But now another astonishing but little-known chapter of his war career is to be told in a Hollywood film being dubbed \u2018The First Great Escape\u2019. Bader \u2013 who lost his legs in a flying accident in 1931 \u2013 was shot down over France in August 1941 and ended up in a German prison camp in Warburg. It was there that the officer, who always made light of his disability and refused to even use a stick, was involved in a mass break-out that pre-dated the break in 1944 immortalised in The Great Escape starring Steve McQueen and Richard Attenborough. Bader\u2019s life story has already been the subject of the successful film Reach for the Sky in 1956 starring Kenneth More. This latest look at his exploits is based on a book on the Warburg escape by historian Mark Felton called Zero Night. It was a plot hatched by Scottish lieutenant Jock Hamilton-Baillie, 23, and involved build folding ladders to escape over the wire. Major Tom Stallard, of the Durham Light Infantry, teamed up with Bader on the planning. The fighter ace went on to describe it as \u2018the most brilliant escape conception of this war\u2019. The ladders were made from wood from a wrecked hut and crafted in the camp\u2019s music room, where the sawing and hammering was drowned out by the sound of instruments. They were disguised as bookshelves. On the night of the break \u2013 August 30, 1942 \u2013 the prisoners managed to fuse the camp\u2019s search lights and 41 men carrying four 12ft scaling ladders rushed the fence. One ladder collapsed, so only 28 made it over the wire, of which three made a \u2018home run\u2019 back to freedom. The Great Escape: Bader's story predates the break in 1944 immortalised in the film starring Steve McQueen and Richard Attenborough (pictured) Bader was among those recaptured but was such a nuisance to the Germans that he ended up in the \u2018escape-proof\u2019 Colditz Castle and remained in captivity until the end of the war. More than 40 Allied prisoners put their lives on the line in a plot to escape from Oflag VI-B camp near Warburg, Germany, in 1942. Major Tom Stallard, a larger than life 37-year-old from Somerset captured while serving in the Durham Light Infantry, teamed up with Bader on the planning. While the Great Escape relied on its famous tunnels, the Warburg mass break out saw the men boldly leap over the huge perimeter fences using wooden ladders. Bader described what happened as 'the most brilliant escape conception of this war'. Months of meticulous planning and secret training went into the three minute charge of the camp's double perimeter fences.

And this week Samantha Cameron was at it again, revealing her love of alternative group Poli\u00e7a. But their brand of psychedelic rock conjures up a world a far cry from her life in Downing Street and the Cotswolds. The American band \u2013 whose name roughly translates as \u2018policy\u2019 in Polish \u2013 are inspired by a radical feminist who described pregnancy as \u2018barbaric\u2019, and their songs feature violent imagery. The video for the first single on the group\u2019s most recent album depicts androgynous-looking singer Channy Leaneagh subjecting her trussed-up alter ego to a violent assault. Blood spurts in all directions as she smashes her hands with a hammer, punches her in the face and finally waterboards her. Another unsettling song by the four-piece band from Minnesota, entitled Leading To Death, includes the lyric \u2018I dream of you, oh my strangler\u2019. Miss Leaneagh, 33, has described her music as \u2018rhythm-driven sex noise\u2019 and says the digital effects she uses to modify her broken-hearted vocals are \u2018like taking drugs for your voice\u2019. Her marriage broke up several years ago after she had a child, and her lyrics have a tendency towards violent, sexual imagery that bemoans \u2018boys\u2019 and \u2018all the work they require\u2019. Mrs Cameron, 43, pictured, comes from an aristocratic background and was educated at Marlborough College, whose other alumni include the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Eugenie. But she has a distinctly bohemian streak and was friends with Bristol trip-hop artist Tricky during her time at university. She recently name-checked US indie group The War On Drugs, and claims to be a big fan of Radio 6 Music, the BBC\u2019s \u2018cutting edge and ground-breaking\u2019 station. \u2018I listen to Radio 4 in the morning and the rest of the day I have 6 Music on,\u2019 she said in a rare interview last weekend. Inspiration: Channy Leaneagh of Polica, a band which specialises in psychedelic rock . Displaying her love of Poli\u00e7a, Mrs Cameron even joined the crowd at a recent gig in Shoreditch, East London, at which the group played songs from their latest album, Shulamith. The record\u2019s cover is illustrated with a photograph of a naked young woman, her hair and neck caked in blood. The title is a tribute to Canadian-born feminist Shulamith Firestone, whom Miss Leaneagh has described as a \u2018mentor and muse from the grave\u2019. Miss Firestone, who died in 2012 aged 67, painted a radical vision of a \u2018liberated\u2019 world without families, childbirth or any real distinctions between men and women.

The uncle of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is facing a criminal investigation in France after amassing a \u00a364million fortune despite being kicked out of Syria 'with nothing' 30 years ago. Prosecutors in Paris have revealed details of the year-long probe into Rifaat al-Assad's finances. Mr al-Assad, 77, went into exile in Europe after staging a failed coup against his brother Hafez al Assad, who was Syria's president at the time and is also Bashar's father. He has since spent more than 30 years living a life of luxury moving between homes in Paris, London and the southern Spanish city of Marbella. The inquiry into the former Syrian vice president's finances was triggered by Sherpa, an activist group representing the victims of financial crime, which claims his fortune was stolen during his time at the heart of the Syrian regime. His family's assets, outlined by French customs in a May 2014 report, are valued at around \u00a364million - much of it held through a web of businesses based in Luxembourg. Mr al-Assad has vehemently denied acquiring assets in France through illegal means. He also told investigators he 'had nothing' when he left Syria, having always given his wages away to the poor, according to a source close to the investigation. 'It was (then French president) Francois Mitterrand who asked me to come to France... he was very kind,' he said, according to the source. On Friday, one of Mr al-Assad's lawyers said: 'Were there even the slightest doubt over my client's real estate ... would President Francois Mitterrand have awarded him the Legion d'Honneur (France's highest distinction) in 1986?' He told Reuters that his client's property holdings dated back to 1984-1986 and were transparent and legal. Heart of the regime: Rifaat al-Assad (left) is pictured with his brother, the late Syrian president Hafez al-Assad, in 1984 before his exile from the country . His nephew: Activists say Rifaat al-Assad (pictured in 1984, left), who is the uncle of current Syrian President Bashar (right), stole money from the country while operating at the heart of its government . His son Siwar al-Assad told France Info radio his father had received funds since 1984 from 'states, leaders and friends abroad'. That included a gift from the king of Saudi Arabia of a 45 hectare (111 acre) property and stud farm north of Paris, he said. Mr Al-assad claims he invested these gifts in property, but did not keep a close eye on the details. 'I only occupy myself with politics,' he said, according to the source. 'They bring me papers to sign... I don't know how to pay, even in restaurants.' Other members of the family have given evidence that Saudi backers have supported them ever since their exile in the 1980s. Another of Mr Al-assad's lawyers Benjamin Grundler says his client 'lives principally from the sale of apartments... and from the regular help of Saudi Arabia', stressing 'it is not Syrian money'.

+{"article": "Starbucks is embroiled in fresh controversy over its tax affairs after it was accused of using a little-known British company to avoid paying taxes across Europe. The U.S. coffee giant is being probed by the European Commission over some of the methods it used to lower its tax bills. It could face millions of pounds in back taxes if they are found to be illegal. For the first time yesterday, details emerged about the UK company at the heart of the probe, which is focusing on sweetheart tax deals between Starbucks and the Dutch government. Probe: Starbucks ran its European division - including the UK - through the Netherlands, but it paid just \u00a31.9million in tax to the Dutch government, from a reported \u00a3300million profit . Starbucks ran its European business, including its booming UK division, through the Netherlands where it paid almost no tax on its profits. But it has now emerged that the coffee chain used a defunct British entity to hide potentially millions of pounds from the Dutch taxman. By registering its Intellectual Property \u2013 such as its brand and logo \u2013 in a UK company called Alki LP, it was able to pay hefty sums from its Netherlands division into Britain. Its Dutch division paid just \u00a31.9million of tax, despite reporting profits of \u00a3300million \u2013 a meagre tax rate of less than 1per cent. A Wall Street Journal investigation has uncovered previously unknown details about the UK entity, including a claim that it had not a single registered employee. Starbucks has already been called \u2018immoral\u2019 by MPs for its labyrinthine structure that effectively funnelled money out of the UK. Schemes used by the company include buying its coffee beans in Switzerland and selling them at a 20per cent mark-up to the Netherlands, where they are then roasted before being sold on again to Britain. This means that much of the money it makes from UK sales flows into jurisdictions that have lower or less stringent tax regimes. Revealed: It is now claimed the company, which has previously been in the spotlight for its tax practices, may have used a British company to put hefty sums from its Netherlands branch into the UK . Between 1998 and 2012 the company paid just \u00a38.6million in corporation tax in Britain, despite racking up combined sales of more than \u00a33billion here. But after its tactics were exposed, the company offered to pay a voluntary \u00a320million in tax to avoid a public boycott. Now details of a little-known tax division have emerged. A UK-registered holding business called Alki LP was set up to house the branding of the business. In a bizarre move, Alki appeared to have no employees \u2013 and was registered at the offices of Starbuck\u2019s tax lawyers Baker & McKenzie. Compliance: A Starbucks spokesman said the company complies 'with all relevant tax rules, laws, and OECD guidelines' But because of the very limited details available, it is impossible to identify how much money the arm received \u2013 or whether it paid any tax in the UK.

Pietersen has returned to the LV= County Championship in a bid to stake a claim for an England recall, although the 34-year-old only managed 19 runs against Glamorgan on Sunday. England were held to a draw in the opening Test of a three-match series against West Indies last week, and calls for a Pietersen comeback continue to linger ahead of the Ashes this summer. Kevin Pietersen scored 170 in his first outing for Surrey this season but scored just 19 against Glamorgan .

'If he does get runs, fine, but that's not the end of it. 'If people are playing well in the team, why should he just get straight in?' Pietersen is keen to play for England again after being sacked in 2014 . Bell and Ballance both hit centuries in Antigua while Root also showed signs of good form with scores of 83 and 59. The scorecard was less encouraging for England captain Alastair Cook, however, who could only manage 11 and 13, stretching his run without a Test century to 33 innings. Cook's poor performances saw him removed as One-Day captain before the World Cup earlier this year and Gatting admits more questions will be asked of the England skipper if he fails to find runs against West Indies. 'Alastair knows what he's got to do, he's got to get some runs,' Gatting said. 'We can keep speculating but I suspect at the end of the West Indies series, they'll look at it and if he hasn't got any runs there might be some questions asked. Gary Ballance scored a century in the first Test against West Indies . 'He might possibly get the series against New Zealand - the fact is Alastair has got more 100s than anyone else has and people do go through bad patches in their careers. 'Alastair has had a break, when he was left out of the One-Day series, he's had time to get himself sorted. 'Maybe he needs a break from the captaincy, that's for people to sit and decide, I suspect it's about the runs though, not the captaincy.

No one knew too much about him last season outside of Portugal and Slovenia so was it a gamble? You only have to look at his price tag to see how highly-rated he was. He cost \u20ac16million (\u00a311.5m) and that is a La Liga record for a goalkeeper. The 22-year-old was already Slovenia's number one when he left Benfica for Madrid in the summer.

A success right from the start of the season? No. Simeone likes to ease in new signings especially when they are young and 31-year-old Miguel Moya was signed from Getafe in the close season as back-up. But the back-up became first choice because Oblak had a right hip injury in pre-season and wasn't 100 per cent when the campaign started. Moya played in the league with Oblak coming in for Champions League games but in his first match in Europe he conceded three goals from three shots. He has recovered brilliantly and now the clamour is for him to start all matches. Cristiano Ronaldo is thwarted in his attempt to open the scoring against rivals Atletico Madrid .

New training will commence at Los Angeles International Airport, one of the airports named in the complaint filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The complaint was filed on behalf of Malaika Singleton, who said she was subjected to a hair pat-down with weeks of each other while traveling from Los Angeles to London in December 2013. The Transportation Security Administration will 'enhance' officer training for hair pat-downs after complaints that African-American women were being racially targeted for unnecessary screenings (file photo) According to an ACLU statement, TSA agents grabbed Singleton's hair, which was styled in tightly-wound 'sisterlocks,' and proceeded to 'squeeze it from top to bottom' at LAX airport. Singleton's hair was patted down again two weeks later during a layover at Minneapolis International Airport and, once again, nothing was found. New training will commence at Los Angeles International Airport, one of the airports named in the complaint filed by the American Civil Liberties Union . 'The humiliating experience on countless black women who are routinely targeted for hair pat-downs because their hair is \"different\" is not only wrong, but also a great misuse of TSA agents' time and resources,' Novella Coleman, Singleton's ACLU attorney, said in a statement. In a letter sent to Coleman, the TSA said the re-training will stress 'race neutrality', and that a special emphasis will be placed on the 'hair patdowns of African-American female travelers'. TSA said the administration will also track of pat-down complaints filed by African-American women throughout the country to 'assess whether a discriminatory impact may be occurring at a specific' airport, according to the letter posted by Buzzfeed. This is not the first time TSA's pat-down policy has come under harsh light. Solange Knowles claimed in 2012 she was racially profiled while going through security at Miami airport, dubbing it 'Discrim-FRO-nation' because she wears her hair in the Afro style. 'My hair is not a storage drawer,' she tweeted. An agency spokesman later told CNN that the 'advanced imaging technology machine' only shows 'an outline of an individual' that was 'the same for every single person'. 'If the hair area is highlighted, the machine may have picked up an anomaly or a possible threat in the head area', such as bobby pins, hair and extension clips, or head wraps. Solange Knowles claimed in 2012 she was racially profiled while going through security at Miami airport, dubbing it 'Discrim-FRO-nation' because she wears her hair in the Afro style . But ACLU said it was these kinds of 'subjective rules' that made the agency more susceptible to 'unconsciously interpret the circumstances in a way that is consistent with racial stereotypes'. In a statement released Friday, the TSA said they do not tolerate racial profiling, according to The Hill. 'Not only is racial profiling prohibited under DHS and agency policy, but it is also an ineffective security tactic.' Coleman told the Huffington Post she will be looking for 'clear and objective guidelines'", "summary": "TSA agreed to make changes after ACLU filed official complaint .

Allardyce has often talked of the qualities he could bring to an elite club, but the momentum of his season changed on Boxing Day when he left his best players out of the starting line-up at Chelsea, and lost. Sam Allardyce is not the man to lead West Ham into their new exciting adventure at the Olympic Stadium . Allardyce (left, pictured behind Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini) has not been up to scratch . Click here to read chief sports writer Martin Samuel's brilliant column on Jack Grealish . The folly of resting key individuals for such an important game over the Christmas period was exposed as West Ham then played two home fixtures, losing to Arsenal and drawing with West Brom. If West Ham had maintained their form going into the Chelsea game \u2014 31 points from 17 matches \u2014 they would now be fifth in the league. Had their form since that day been played out through the season \u2014 12 points from 16 games \u2014 they would be bottom. Allardyce's reputation is that of a man who guarantees survival, but since Christmas West Ham have been playing relegation football. If a new manager is being considered, it is understandable. West Ham must go to the Olympic Stadium with more on their minds than survival. Rafael Benitez could return to English football after Napoli and may be persuaded by the Hammers project .", "summary": "Sam Allardyce had his chance with West Ham but has failed to take it .

He claims there are no contemporary mentions of Jesus in historical accounts from the time when he was supposed to have lived, yet other Jewish sect leaders from the time do appear. Scroll down for video . Mystery: This painting depicts Jesus Christ as single person but writer David Fitzgerald believes he was a literary invention that combined the stories from several cults and figures in Judea during the first century . He also points to discrepancies in the early gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke, claiming these were written decades after the supposed time of Jesus. Instead he insists the disciples of Jesus were also probably not real and their names only later attached to the gospels to lend them credence. Historical researcher Michael Paulkovich has claimed that Jesus of Nazareth did not exist after being unable to find any verifiable mention of Christ in historical texts by 126 writers during the \u2018time of Jesus\u2019 from the first to third centuries. He claims that he is a fictional character invented by followers of Christianity to create a figure to worship.

The 28-year-old runner was so far ahead of the pack it wasn't clear to her which way she was meant to go. Wrong way: Heidi Bretscher, 28, said she was on pace to beat her personal record when she, and the two cyclists who were accompanying her, missed an unmarked turn . Retracing her steps: At mile 19, Bretscher was leading the women's race by about 30 minutes. She found a police officer who gave her a ride back to mile 17 . Somehow, she ended up running entirely off the planned route and around a lake that wasn't even on the course.

Miss Walters said: 'We would never in a million years have considered sending Magic to auction \u2013 they're horrible places. The thought makes me cry.' It was two months before she discovered the horse had been sold \u2013 making it all the more difficult to trace Magic, who could have been taken out of the country or sold to an abattoir. Miss Walters, who had owned the 17-year-old chestnut pony for seven years, said: 'I consider him like a child, he thinks of me as his mum and he's been taken from me. My heart is broken. 'He could be anywhere by now, I don't know how to find him and even if we do, what state will he be in?'

Yet all they got was 11 minutes before Costa was forced off with a recurrence of the hamstring injury that ruled him out of the international break with Spain.

Hazard scored and assisted in the same Premier League match for the seventh time, and looked like a man ready to rubbish the idea he was too tired to play a full 90 minutes for Belgium in midweek. He tormented the Stoke defence here at Stamford Bridge, and has scored more Premier League goals for Chelsea over the past three seasons than any other player. That\u2019s 35, by the way. So, too, was Remy equally as clinical against Stoke. Acting as Costa\u2019s replacement for the starting XI, he proved more than a handful for the visitors on his fourth start for Chelsea in the Premier League. It took an outstanding one-handed save from Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic at full stretch to deny Remy\u2019s deflected shot from giving Chelsea the lead after just three minutes. Then, four minutes later, it was him again, going close as his curled shot skipped agonisingly wide of the far post. The man turned down by Liverpool was given the unfortunate task of trying to fill the boots of Costa, but rarely looked shy in doing so. Yet it remained 0-0 as half time approached. Was it time for Mourinho to roll the dice? It was in the 32nd minute his patience wore thin. Costa looks in pain after pulling up at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea's 2-1 win over Stoke City .

+{"article": "8,000 women in their 70s are diagnosed and treated for breast cancer . Noreen Spendlove was reassured when the results of her latest mammogram were normal. Noreen, then 68, had the scan as part of the NHS breast cancer screening programme, and as she says: 'As always, getting the all-clear was a big relief.' But 18 months later, shortly before her 70th birthday, the mother-of-three from Derbyshire developed intermittent pain in her left side, just below her breast. And although Noreen, a former administrator, wasn't concerned, her daughter, a radiographer, insisted she see a GP. Despite finding nothing abnormal, the GP referred Noreen for a mammogram. This revealed three lumps on her left breast, which were all tumours. Noreen is adamant: 'That GP appointment saved my life.' Breast cancer screening was introduced in 1988, with women aged 50 to 64 invited for a mammogram every three years. In 2000, the upper limit was extended to 70. 'I didn't realise it at the time, but at 68 I'd already had my last official mammogram,' says Noreen. 'It's all the more scary knowing that, because even though I check my breasts regularly, I definitely hadn't felt any lumps. Without my daughter, I wouldn't have gone to my GP.' Noreen was one of the lucky ones. MPs are warning that women will die as a result of the screening age limit. In a report published two weeks ago, the All Party Parliamentary Group on Breast Cancer pointed out that 8,000 women in their 70s are diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. And while more are diagnosed at a younger age - 12,800 in their 60s and 10,600 in their 50s - more than half of the 12,000 women who die from breast cancer every year are over 70. So, extending the age for routine mammograms would mean earlier diagnosis for those over 70 and more lives saved, the MPs said. In fact, the upper age limit is due to change. From the end of 2016, all women up to 73 will be invited for screening. But critics argue this is not high enough. Nat Lievesley, a researcher at the Centre for Policy on Ageing, says this cut-off point 'seems arbitrary', adding: 'It feels like a decision based on cost rather than what's best for women.' And the parliamentary group is concerned at the 'slow pace of change'. In 2013, they called for the age limit to be raised to at least 76, and possibly to 79. 'Extending the age for routine mammograms would mean earlier diagnosis and more lives saved' 'While some progress has been made, there is still a lot of work to do in ensuring that older people with breast cancer receive the care, treatment and support most appropriate to them,' says Steve Brine, the Conservative MP for Winchester and co-chair of the parliamentary group. And this ageism is not limited to access to mammograms. There's evidence older women are less likely to get certain treatment for breast cancer than younger women.

Despite the fact that the UK has now met the controversial target to spend 0.7 per cent of national income on overseas aid, changes to Brussels accounting rules could bump up the bill even more. Official figures released this week reveal that Britain met the target last year, spending \u00a311.7billion on foreign aid projects. The UK is now the second largest aid donor in the world. Spending on foreign aid is set to increase by an extra \u00a31billion over the next two years because of new EU rules . But new EU accounting rules \u2013 to which Britain has signed up \u2013 are being brought in which change the way national income is measured. The new total includes estimates of parts of the black economy such as prostitution and drug running. It means that Gross National Income will rise \u2013 pushing up the amount that will need to be spent on aid to meet the 0.7 per cent target. One aid expert said it could mean an increase of \u00a3500million in the aid budget in 2016 and 2017. The news that Britain\u2019s overseas contributions will swell even further was unpopular with Tory backbenchers, many of whom believe it was wrong to spend so much when the defence budget faces cuts. Sir Gerald Howarth, a former Tory defence minister, said: \u2018What is the point of this arbitrary figure of spending 0.7 per cent of GDP? \u2018The idea that if we spend this amount all the world\u2019s problems will end is absurd, or that by providing that magic figure we suddenly become paragons of virtue. \u2018If a change in the formula means the British taxpayer has to contribute yet more in overseas aid ... a lot of people will start questioning the largesse of this country. There are many military figures who just don\u2019t see the logic of putting money into aid instead of defence.\u2019 The new accounting rules are being phased in and the Department for International Development said they would only apply from 2016. Britain met the 0.7 per cent aid target thanks to a frantic effort that meant increasing the budget by 30 per cent in one year. A highly critical Commons report found that ministers had splurged large amounts in the final months \u2013 with few checks \u2013 just so they could say they had met the target.

Such an outcome would obviously deny Ronny Deila\u2019s stated aim of retaining the young Belgian for another year, yet Boyd also sees a clear positive. To the former Celtic captain, Denayer\u2019s development can act as a perfect advert to encourage more emerging talents to take their next career step at Parkhead. Young defender Jason Denayer (left) has impressed on loan at Celtic this season . The 19-year-old recently won his first international cap for Belgium in a Euro 2016 qualifier against Cyprus . The 19-year-old earned a first full cap for his country when he came off the bench in their 1-0 win in Israel on Tuesday night following a red card for Vincent Kompany. Denayer will hope to join Kompany in City\u2019s first-team squad when he returns to his parent club this summer and Boyd feels he is equipped to take that step. \u2018Jason certainly looks like he could go back to Man City and make an impression,\u2019 said Boyd. \u2018For a young boy, he\u2019s been exceptional. He looks a lot older in his play and it surprises you when you remind yourself how young he actually is. \u2018The only question is whether he will get the opportunities he wants down there.

Perched in the morning sunshine on a bench at City's pristine training facility he talks about the upside of salary caps, what Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard can expect, the humility of his star signing Kaka and his hopes of an eventual rivalry with David Beckham's troubled Miami project. Steven Gerrard will join LA Galaxy in the summer after spending 17 seasons at Liverpool . Midfielder Frank Lampard has signed a two-year contract with New York City . The aforementioned names' imminent arrival is just one reason why the MLS is achieving a greater resonance on the other side of the Atlantic. ' I think English people are fascinated with America,' says Heath. ' You see the baseball, American football and basketball and wonder whether football can take off here. I'm glad to say I think the only question is how big it becomes. 'Perhaps we have slowly had to educate some of the media. One of the things that has kept football down a bit is that some of the high profile media haven't known the sport, and maybe some people are scared of it. They guard their own sports quite carefully.'

Much of it, they say, involved cavemen grunting, or hunter-gatherers mumbling and pointing, before learning to speak in a detailed way. But in a new study, one linguist argues that human language developed rapidly with people quickly using complex sentences that sound like our own. Scientists believe the first complex conversation between humans gradually took place around 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. Much of it, they believe, still involved cavemen grunting, or hunter-gatherers mumbling and pointing, before learning to speak in a detailed way . 'The hierarchical complexity found in present-day language is likely to have been present in human language since its emergence,' says Shigeru Miyagawa, Professor of Linguistics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Most scholars believe that humans first started using a 'proto-language', which was a primitive kind of communication with only a gradual development of words and syntax. But according to Professor Miyagawa, single words bear traces of syntax showing that they must be descended from an older, syntax-laden system, rather than from simple, primal utterances. 'Since we can find syntax within words, there is no reason to consider them as 'linguistic fossils' of a prior, presyntax stage,' he adds. In a new study, one linguist argues that human language likely developed rapidly with people quickly using complex sentences that sound like our own. Pictured is a reconstruction of of Rhodesian Men. Remains from this species have been dated between 300,000 and 125,000 years ago . Professor Miyagawa has a different theory about what created human language. He says humans combined an 'expressive' layer of language, as seen in birdsong, with a 'lexical' layer, as seen in monkeys who utter isolated sounds, such as alarm calls. The 'integration hypothesis' suggests that whatever first caused them, these layers of language blended rapidly. In his paper, Professor Miyagawa writes that a single word today can be 'internally complex, often as complex as an entire phrase,' making it less likely that words we use today are descended from a presyntax mode of speech. 'Nationalisation' for example starts with 'nation,' a noun; adds '-al' to create an adjective; adds '-is(a)' to form a verb; and ends with '-tion,' to form another noun, albeit with a new meaning. 'Hierarchical structure is present not only in single words, but also in compounds, which, contrary to the claims of some, are not the structureless fossilised form of a prior stage,' he says. The researchers arrived at their conclusions by conducting a series of experiments in teaching students the art of 'Oldowan stone-knapping' The very first rudimentary communcation between our ancestors took place much earlier, say one group of scientists. Earlier this year, researchers argued that cavemen initially began communicating 2.5 to 1.8 million years ago - and they were talking about DIY. The international study found stone tool-making drove the evolution of language among our human ancestors in the African savannah. It suggests communication among our earliest ancestors may have been more complex than previously thought, and that tool-making helped", "summary": "Complex human conversation began around 50,000 to 100,000 years ago .

A mother-of-two has battled cancer nine times in the last seven years, despite having her breasts and ovaries removed to try and prevent the disease. Emma Hannigan was told in 2005 that she carried the faulty BRCA1 gene, which increases a woman's chance of getting breast cancer by 85 per cent, and ovarian cancer by 50 per cent. She opted to have a double mastectomy and oophorectomy the following year, to reduce her risk. But despite the drastic surgery, the 42-year-old received the diagnosis she had been dreading - she had breast cancer. Since that point, Mrs Hannigan has battled the disease a staggering nine times, including four bouts in the space of a year. She is now undergoing chemotherapy every three weeks as specialists try to keep the disease at bay. Mrs Hannigan, an author from Bray, near Dublin, said despite it failing to prevent cancer, she does not regret having preventative surgery. The Breast Cancer Campaign estimates preventative mastectomy is thought to reduce breast cancer risk in carriers of the BRCA gene, by 90 per cent. The odds reduce a woman's risk to lower than that of the average for women who do not carry the mutated gene. 'I didn't look at it like I was losing my ovaries or breasts,' Mrs Hannigan said. 'I looked at it like I was gaining my life. 'It wasn't a difficult decision. It was a no-brainer - I wanted to live.' But at the age of 33, Mrs Hannigan was devastated when she was told, just a year after having surgery, that she had cancer. 'I was tested because there was a family history of breast and ovarian cancer in my family,' she said. 'My aunt Helen died of breast cancer when she was 42. My other aunts, Ruth and Cathy, survived breast cancer in their 30s and 40s. My great aunt, Anneliese, died from ovarian cancer. 'When gene testing came in my family were invited to have tests. My mother, Cathy and Ruth were all diagnosed with the faulty gene. 'So I was tested and I was diagnosed too. Then I made the decision to reduce my risk of cancer and have surgery. 'It was not difficult. I had seen Helen die. 'I had two young children. I only had to look at them and know that I had made the right choice.'

The county typically sees about five HIV cases each year. Since Pence approved the temporary needle exchange, 5,322 clean syringes have been provided to 86 participants, health officials said Friday. About 1,400 used syringes have been returned. Brittany Combs, public health nurse for the Scott County Health Department, said the needle-exchange program had 'really picked up a lot this week,' in large part because a mobile unit has been traveling around neighborhoods seeking to get more IV drug users into the program.

Lloyd Byfield, 48, pursued a relationship with 26-year-old Leighann Duffy before he armed himself with a claw hammer and a large red handled kitchen knife and smashed his way into her flat in Walthamstow, east London, on September 1 last year. After pleading guilty to murder, he was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 26-and-a-half years by Judge Nicholas Cooke who told him he may never be released. Monster: Violent drug dealer Lloyd Byfield (left) who evaded deportation for years launched a brutal and frenzied knife and hammer attack on Leighann Duffy, 26, when he burst into her flat in Walthamstow, London . Judge Cooke told Byfield he must have had a 'heart of stone' to have killed Ms Duffy despite the presence of the young girl who was herself attacked when she tried to intervene. During the Old Bailey hearing, Judge Cooke also expressed his 'unhappiness' at the failure of authorities to deport Byfield back to Jamaica when he attacked another woman with a chisel and was jailed for burglary in 2005. He said the murder could have been prevented if he had been sent back to Jamaica then. Byfield came to the UK in 2000 and was granted indefinite leave to remain on June 29, 2004 after getting married to a British woman despite being in another relationship with the mother of his child, Patricia White. Nine days before leave was granted, he stabbed Ms White with a chisel. Two months later, he broke into her husband's home and ransacked it. In March 2005 he was jailed for 30 months after pleading guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and burglary. He was ordered to be deported on May 29, 2007. At the hearing, Judge Cooke said: 'I do not know whether when you were in custody any steps were taken to minimise the risk which was represented to women, particularly those with whom you had a relationship. 'It is on any view essential that when men are sentenced for crimes of domestic violence the underlying risk to women is addressed. If it was, it was not successfully addressed. 'You were to be deported but for reasons which cannot be explained to me that was never actioned with the result you were here and able to kill a woman.' Byfield claimed he was in love with Ms Duffy and that she was sleeping with other men. But Judge Cooke said: 'That is not love. Love is caring and cherishing. This was obsessive, possessive, brutality mirroring a wholly wrong attitude to women. 'This was the pinnacle of domestic violence, a scourge which effects the lives of women and children.' Byfield was arrested days after the knife attack when he stopped a PCSO in Walthamstow High Street (pictured) saying he was wanted by the police. He told the officer 'the devil came", "summary": "Lloyd Byfield, 48, launched hammer and knife attack on Leighann Duffy, 26 . The drug dealer smashed into her flat when she did not answer his calls .

Native American actors appearing in The Ridiculous 6, a spoof of The Magnificent Seven that stars and was written by Sandler, left the set after they became offended by the script's jokes about their race and culture. It was so bad in fact that even the cultural adviser for the movie, which is filming in New Mexico, walked off the set. Scroll down for video .

The film stars Sandler (left), Taylor Lautner (right), Nick Nolte and Steve Buscemi . Loren Anthony (above with Nick Nolte in the background) was one of the extras who walked off set . Indian Country Today Media Network spoke to one of the actors who walked off, Navajo Nation tribal member Loren Anthony, about his issues with the script. 'I was asked a long time ago to do some work on this and I wasn't down for it. Then they told me it was going to be a comedy, but it would not be racist,' said Anthony. 'So I agreed to it but on Monday things started getting weird on the set.' Among the many problems he cited were the costumes that were being used, the way the hair was being styled, and the film's treatment of women. 'We were supposed to be Apache, but it was really stereotypical and we did not look Apache at all. We looked more like Comanche,' he explained. 'One thing that really offended a lot of people was that there was a female character called Beaver's breath. One character says \"Hey, Beaver's Breath.\" And the Native woman says, \"How did you know my name?'\" In another scene, an Apache woman is seen squatting and urinating while smoking a pipe. As for the dress, the Apache do not wear their hair in braids or chokers while that is common for Comache. Anthony (on right with actor Saginaw Grant) said the film was offensive towards Native American women . Vanilla Ice (above as Mark Twain) with Sandler in the background in red bandanna were back to filming oin Thursday . Anthony said that though the film is about the Apache (traditionl dress on left) extras were dressed more like Comanche (traditional dress on right), with braids and chokers . Making matters worse says Anthony is that no one felt like they were being listened to by the production team. 'They just treated us as if we should just be on the side,' said Anthony. 'When we did speak with the main director, he was trying to say the disrespect was not intentional and this was a comedy.'

A burglar who broke into a young teacher's home and sexually assaulted her as she lay in bed has been freed by a judge who handed him a community sentence. The decision's been slammed by a Victim Support charity worker, who said that 'victims deserve justice', after the 24-year-old teacher was left traumatised by the ordeal. Judge Mary Stacey admitted the victim had been 'scarred psychologically' during the case at Birmingham Crown Court, which has left her 'petrified' and afraid to go out. But Joshua Sweet, 20, from Birmingham, was freed and given a three-year community order on account of an early plea and having spent just two months in jail awaiting his court appearance. Madhu Rai, prosecuting, said Sweet broke into the victim's home and took items including car keys and a mobile phone before making his way upstairs, where the victim was asleep. In the dead of night, she awoke to find the intruder 'standing beside her bed' and screamed, which is when the terrifying assault began. Sweet then rolled down her duvet and touched the defendant sexually, saying 'you're not going to make any noise are you?' Miss Rai said the woman was extremely frightened and tried to divert the defendant. Sweet touched the woman\u2019s bottom and upper thigh but as he took hold of the waistband of her pyjama bottoms, her house-mate, the owner of the property, came into the room and he fled. The police were called and Sweet was arrested nearby, but the victim's ordeal continued. In a statement she said she had been 'petrified' at finding a stranger in her bedroom and that the incident, which had caused her to take time off work, had left her feeling vulnerable and unsafe. She said she had put a bolt on her bedroom door and had been reluctant to come out. Sentencing guidelines for sexual assaults range up to eight years for the most serious cases. And although the nature of this case falls in the lower end of the scale, the sentence angered a victim support charity that said offenders 'must be given a punishment that fits their crime'. Joshua Sweet, 20, admitted burglary and sexual assault and was given a three-year community order, ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work and must register as a sex offender for five years . Carolyn Hodrien, victim services director for Victim Support, said: 'From supporting thousands of victims of sexual assault, we know what a devastating impact it can have on people's lives. 'Victims deserve justice and for this to happen offenders must be given a punishment that fits their crime. Community orders can be a really effective way to manage some offenders, but should never be issued for a serious offence or as a quick-fix.'

The firm has been hit by new rules on payday lending, as well as being forced to pay compensation to customers who were sent fake legal letters. Wonga's revenues fell by nearly \u00a3100million last year to a total of \u00a3217.2million, it was announced today - months after the company wrote off the debts of 300,000 customers. Controversial: Wonga, whose puppet advert is shown here, has reported a loss of \u00a337.3million . Now chairman Andy Haste says that the company might ditch its controversial brand in a bid to repair the company's reputation. 'We are not ruling it out or in,' he told Reuters today. 'The question comes down to whether it remains the only brand or one of many brands, and ultimately does it stay as a brand for the overall company?' Wonga's financial woes are expected to continue thanks to a new cap on the interest rates it can charge which was introduced at the start of this year. Announcing the firm's latest set of results today, Mr Haste said: 'We said Wonga would be smaller and less profitable in the near term as we focus on creating a sustainable business that lends responsibly and transparently to customers who can afford to borrow from us. Desperate measures: Chairman Andy Haste says that Wonga might change its name . 'We know it will take time to repair our reputation and gain an accepted place in the financial services industry, but we're determined to deliver on our plans and serve our customers in the right way.' He said that all credit providers have to 'put their customers first and lend responsibly', admitting: 'Regrettably, that has not always been the case at Wonga.' The firm's chairman insisted that Wonga would no longer lend to customers who cannot afford to repay their loans, and said that the company had 'grown too quickly' without putting in place the necessary management structure. The number of Wonga's customers in the UK fell by nearly half, to 575,000, with the company making 2.5million loans in the course of 2014 compared to 3.7million the year before. The total amount of money lent fell from \u00a31.1billion to \u00a3732million - but the company said that just 6.6 per cent of loans were defaulted on, down from 6.9 per cent in 2013. Wonga has cut the proportion of loan application it accepts from 80 per cent to just half after toughening up the criteria which potential lenders must meet. However, Mr Haste admitted that it is likely to take another year to turn the company around, saying that 2016 would be when 'we will start to come back'.

Once Pep Guardiola had made it clear he required the midfelder at Bayern Munich, it was pointless for United to continue their pursuit anyway, .

Not that Moyes is a bad judge of a player; all managers get it wrong at some point. However, United's need for passing quality from deep midfield was apparent throughout Moyes' short time at the club.

But there are few players in the world who can pass like Thiago.

But for people who fly frequently, cosmic radiation can increase this exposure significantly. Now there is an app that records your personal radiation to reveal how much you are exposed to from from medical examinations, changes in your location, and flights. The TrackYourDose app (pictured) was developed by Germany-based firm esooka and uses a mathematical model developed by scientists and meteorologists. The \u00a31.49 ($1.99) iOS app keeps a record of a user's personal radiation including exposure from changes in a person's location and flights . The TrackYourDose app was developed by Germany-based esooka. It uses a mathematical model developed by scientists and meteorologists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Germany and the University Oulu, Finland. Since 1997, PTB has studied the cosmic radiation at typical flight altitudes and used this to calculate radiation levels. To to do this, PTB's scientists developed a carry-on 'flight case'. Using the case, PTB's scientists measured more than 2,500 points at flight altitudes between 5 miles (8km) and 7.5 miles (12km) worldwide between 1997 and 2006. This covered geographical location, the flight altitude and solar activity. 6 \u00b5Sv: Typical radiation from a dentist's X-ray . 10 \u03bcSv: Average daily natural radiation . 40 \u03bcSv: Radiation from flying from New York to Los Angeles . 100 \u00b5Sv: Radiation from a 10-hour flight across the North Atlantic . 2,100 \u00b5Sv: Annual radiation of a typical person in Europe . 3,000 \u03bcSv: Radiation from a mammogram . 3,600 \u03bcSv: Average annual radiation of a US citizen . 50,000 \u03bcSv: Maximum allowable yearly occupational dose in the US . 100,000 \u03bcSv: Lowest yearly dose linked to increased risk of cancer . 2,000,000 \u03bcSv: Severe and potentially fatal . It can measure all the relevant types of radiation, in particular neutron radiation produced in the atmosphere. Using the TrackYourDose app, users enter the details of the airports they are flying from and to and the date they are travelling. The current solar activity for the flight is then inputted, using a neutron monitor of the University of Oulu in Finland. In addition to tracking cosmic radiation from air travel, the app accounts for gamma radiation and cosmic radiation on the ground and medical examinations with ionizing radiation such as X-rays or CT scans lead to radiation exposure. The measurement is called the 'ambient dose equivalent' and is recorded in microsieverts (\u00b5Sv). In the US, this is often measured in a unit called rem and one sievert is equivalent to 100 rem. A ten-hour flight across the North Atlantic, for instance, results in a radiation exposure of between 50 \u00b5Sv to 100 \u00b5Sv. By comparison, an X-ray at a dentist exposes patients to 6 \u00b5Sv, depending on the type of X-ray. In 2012, the total annual radiation exposure of a typical person in Europe, through naturally occurring radiation, came to about 2,100 \u00b5Sv. The same year a radiation monitor tracked 131\u00b5Sv per hour at the site of the Fukushima power plant. While the", "summary": "The TrackYourDose app was developed by Germany-based firm esooka .

Nationwide Building Society is giving anyone up to the age of 70 the chance to take out a 35-year loan \u2013 stoking fears of a buy-to-let boom.

Tens of thousands of savers are being tempted to put their money into property \u2013 and this surge of \u2018silver landlords\u2019 is likely to push up house prices. Nationwide Building Society is giving anyone up to the age of 70 the chance to take out a 35-year loan, meaning some pensioners are being offered mortgages that will only be paid off when they are 105 (file picture, posed) Traditionally, banks have been reluctant to allow borrowing beyond retirement, but now other lenders are considering raising their age limits too. Savers who want to put their money towards buy-to-let properties are unlikely to be able to afford to purchase a house outright, with the average price standing at \u00a3273,000. The option of taking out a mortgage to cover the shortfall has previously been unavailable as banks prefer people to repay before turning 70 or 75. But unlike residential mortgages, funded by income likely to fall away in retirement, a buy-to-let mortgage is funded by rental income, which does not cease when the owner retires. Economists say the increase in silver landlords competing to buy properties is boosting house prices, which are increasing at 8.4 per cent a year. Three in four of Britain\u2019s 2million landlords regard their property as their pension, according to research from financial consultancy BDRC. About one in five homes in Britain are owned by private landlords, and this is expected to rise to one in three by 2032, Government figures suggest. But there are perils too. The buy-to-let boom expected to follow today\u2019s changes could have painful tax consequences for some, experts warn. Withdrawing large sums from a pension pot will trigger a hefty income tax bill \u2013 for example, taking out \u00a3150,000 will produce a \u00a340,000 demand from HMRC. Buy-to-let homes also attract tax on rental income and capital gains tax if the property is later sold. And for ageing landlords, there is inheritance tax to consider too.

Jane Vass of Age UK said: \u2018Although Age UK believes affordability not age should determine whether someone is given a loan, using your pension fund to pay the deposit could have significant tax and financial consequences and if there is a downturn in the rental market you could find your own financial security is jeopardised.\u2019 Nationwide decided soon after the pension reforms were announced in 2014 that it would consider applicants aged up to 70 for a 35-year loan.

Now, researchers have found a series of hidden faces and message in it. The Black Book of Carmarthen is the earliest surviving medieval manuscript written solely in Welsh, and contains some of the earliest references to Arthur and Merlin. Using a combination of ultraviolet light and photo editing software, the images were recovered. Dating from 1250, The Black Book of Carmarthen is the earliest surviving medieval manuscript written solely in Welsh, and contains some of the earliest references to Arthur and Merlin. The book is a collection of 9th-12th century poetry along both religious and secular lines, and draws on the traditions of the Welsh folk-heroes and legends of the Dark Ages. 'It's easy to think we know all we can know about a manuscript like the Black Book but to see these ghosts from the past brought back to life in front of our eyes has been incredibly exciting,' said Myriah Williams of Cambridge's Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. The book is a collection of 9th-12th century poetry along both religious and secular lines, and draws on the traditions of the Welsh folk-heroes and legends of the Dark Ages. Williams and Professor Paul Russell from Cambridge's Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC), believe that a 16th century owner of the book, probably a man named Jaspar Gryffyth, erased centuries' worth of additional verse, doodles and marginalia which had been added to the manuscript as it changed hands throughout the years. Using a combination of ultraviolet light and photo editing software, the 16th century owner's penchant for erasure has been partly reversed to reveal snatches of poetry. Currently, the texts are very fragmentary and in need of much more analysis, although they researchers say they seem to be the continuation of a poem on the preceding page with a new poem added at the foot of the page. 'The drawings and verse that we're in the process of recovering demonstrate the value of giving these books another look,' Williams said. 'The margins of manuscripts often contain medieval and early modern reactions to the text, and these can cast light on what our ancestors thought about what they were reading. 'The Black Book was particularly heavily annotated before the end of the 16th century, and the recovery of erasure has much to tell us about what was already there and can change our understanding of it.' The faces are only visible under UV light - and are invisible to the naked eye . Williams and Russell will present a lecture at The National Library of Wales today, part of a larger exhibition on the life and work of Sir John Price, one-time owner of the Black Book. There, they will detail some of their findings, stressing the importance of continued research on the manuscript.

Tamara Pacskowska pretended to be 76-year-old Georgina Bagnall-Oakley at meetings with estate agents and solicitors in November last year over sale of the home in Bayswater, West London. The 56-year-old, from Croydon, South London, could not speak English and took her daughter-in-law Monika Brzezinska, 34, along with her on the visits to help her translate.

Today at Southwark Crown Court, Pacskowska sobbed as she was given a community order and made to pay costs after previously admitting fraud. Mother-of-three Brzezinska, who also wept throughout the hearing, and Khoury, were also spared jail after they too admitted a fraud charge. Brzezinska thanked the judge after the sentence was passed while Khoury grinned in the dock. Pacskowska used a fake driving licence and passport bearing her photograph and Mrs Bagnall-Oakeley\u2019s name and details in the scam. She claims she was offered \u00a33,000 to pose as the owner of the property by a woman allegedly named Amisha Singh.

Mrs Bagnall-Oakley bought the property in Clarendon Mews in 1982 with her husband Hugo and it was transferred solely to her name in 2014. She was renting it out at the time. The victim said she was left feeling \u2018vulnerable, apprehensive and anxious\u2019 after she discovered someone had tried to steal her identity. In a statement to the court, she said: \u2018My initial reaction upon learning about the fraud was that of shock that this could so nearly have succeeded. \u2018My identity had been stolen and left me feeling vulnerable, apprehensive and anxious. \u2018I would not wish this on anyone in the future.\u2019 Monkia Brzezinska, Pacskowska's daughter-in-law, left, and Bejamin Khoury, who also admitted fraud, also escaped jail .

He said: 'In so adopting the sole owner\u2019s identity, purported to be the vendor of the property and instructed solicitors to sell the property for that sum and it was only the subsequent intervention of the police just before completion of the sale that prevented the property from being sold from under the owner\u2019s feet.'

At a hustings in Bradford on Wednesday night, Mr Galloway, who is defending a 10,000-vote majority, produced the document, saying Ms Shah has 'only a passing acquaintance with the truth.' To applause, he also accused her of playing into negative stereotypes about Pakistan, and accused her of slandering the British Pakistani community. But Ms Shah has now hit back, saying there are two copies of her Nikah. One dated 1990, which Mr Galloway has, and another earlier version dated 1988, which has been supplied to MailOnline. A spokesman for the Labour Party said that Ms Shah was forced into marriage aged 15, but that her husband wanted to come to the UK on a spouse visa. Because the British authorities do not recognise marriages to people under the age of 16, a second document was drawn up and dated 1990. They say this is the document Mr Galloway's party has.

A Respect Party spokesman responded, saying the allegations were 'totally and utterly untrue', insisting that their contact had simply requested the certificate and paid a five rupee sum before it was handed over.

The force of the collision broke Sponge Bobby's jaw causing her a painful death off the Dorset coast. WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT . Sponge Bobby the seal suffered horrific injuries after she was struck by a boat or a jet-ski on Monday .

'We are realistic enough to know that not all will survive but nevertheless it was shocking to hear of her horrendous injuries.' Sponge Bobby was found with breathing problems at Widemouth on the north coast of Cornwall. Her body was recovered from a beach at Highcliffe, Dorset on Monday with severe head injuries including a broken jaw.

Wildlife photographer and environmental campaigner Steve Trewhella, of UK Coastal Wildlife, said: 'You have to assume that under the circumstance is was struck by a boat or jet ski. 'There were loads of people in the water that day and it could have easily been struck. 'You can tell it wasn't a propeller strike because that would have had a corkscrew effect, where it is struck multiple times. 'If it had come in in a storm then it may have been a rock but it was fairly calm on the day. 'They are wonderful creatures - watch them, film them and enjoy the spectacle but you have to respect the fact that they are vulnerable animals.' Emma Rance, marine conservation officer at Dorset Wildlife Trust, added: 'The injuries to its face suggest a boat strike. 'The jaw is seriously broken, possibly by a boat or a Jet ski.' She said the injury could have been inflicted accidentally, but boat users were breaking the law if they harassed sea animals. 'We don't know how many animals are injured every year, because not all of them are washed up,' she said.

Former two-weight world champion Haye, 34, was stopped by officials on his arrival at Dubai International Airport and accused of fraud by writing a cheque as payment for a new property which bounced. The boxer, who has not fought since he defeated Dereck Chisora in July 2012, also handed over his passport to authorities, and has been unable to leave the United Arab Emirates - forcing him to miss a mixed martial arts event in Birmingham at the weekend. Former heavyweight boxing champion David Haye was stopped at Dubai International Airport and questioned over allegations that he wrote a \u00a3341,000 cheque which bounced. He is pictured during his trip to Dubai . The cheque, worth 1.8million Emirati Dirham, was intended as a final payment on a newly-built property, as part of a deal with developers Emaar, which is part-owned by the Dubai government. Haye has said the 'bounced' cheque was down to an administrative error. He told The Sun's Michael Hamilton: 'The cheque was presented to the bank four days before I landed. It was not due to be presented until final completion of my property, which is due in a few weeks. 'This was an administrative error which is being rectified. I explained to the police and presented documents as proof. But I can totally understand these mistakes can happen.' Writing a cheque that later bounces is a crime in Dubai, and can be punishable with jail, a fine, and being ordered to pay the amount. Haye had been due to attend a mixed martial arts event in Birmingham on Saturday but was unable to leave the UAE. Instead he went to a Robbie Williams concert in Abu Dhabi . Police give suspects one month to pay the value of the cheque before taking the case to court. Figures released last June showed that Dubai police dealt with almost 80,000 bounced cheques in 2013-14, worth 9.4billion Dirham, or \u00a31.7bn. According to The Sun, Haye was held at the airport as he arrived for a holiday earlier this month after he was flagged up on a wanted list. He was reportedly taken to Bur Dubai police station, which has a department for bounced cheque suspects, and was released the same day. He surrendered his passport, as did two of his associates.

Joe Louis (left) knocks out Max Schmeling in the first round to win the heavyweight title on June 22, 1938 . Although Herr Hitler was trumpeting Max Schmeling as a hero of the Third Reich following his knock-out victory over Joe Louis two years earlier, the German was anti-Nazi and remained so during World War II which was imminent at the time of the re-match. Louis had come back from that shock to win the world heavyweight title by defeating James J Braddock but announced he would not consider himself the true champion until he avenged the loss to Schmeling. The fight was billed as a political war between an America struggling to emerge from the Great Depression and a Germany provoking armed conflict in Europe by annexing Austria. Yet such was Schmeling\u2019s distaste for being exploited by Adolf Hitler\u2019s propaganda machine \u2013 and his loyal refusal to sack his Jewish manager \u2013 that his wife and mother were refused permission to travel to New York to support him in case he defected to the U.S. The social picture was clouded further by black America\u2019s belief in Louis as a high-profile campaigner for Civil Rights.

+{"article": "They were the biggest of the Ice Age giants, roaming the frozen plains of the Northern Hemisphere. But it seems the final days of the woolly mammoth were a sad struggle for survival. Genetic analysis of two woolly mammoth remains show that their population became so small that they had become chronically inbred. Scroll down for video . The last of the woolly mammoths (shown in the reconstruction above) were isolated on an Arctic island for around 5,000 years, forcing them to inbreed as their population dwindled until disappering 4,500 years ago . Researchers have concluded that the creatures clung on in just a tiny pocket of the Arctic, on an island that appears to have become cut off from the mainland. The study has also raised the prospect of bringing the giant mammal back to life using cloning techniques with modern elephants. Scientists claim to have taken a major step towards recreating the woolly mammoth by inserting more than a dozen of the creature's genes into the live DNA of an elephant. Researchers studied the structure of DNA from mammoths preserved in the Arctic to reproduce exact copies of 14 of the extinct animal\u2019s genes. These were then integrated by experts at Harvard University in Massachusetts into the elephant genome - and functioned as normal DNA. A new method known as 'Crispr' - helping scientists make accurate changes to DNA - was used by genetics professor George Church, who replaced parts of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes . Other researchers have proposed using mammoth DNA to replace that of an elephant using a similar technique to the one used to clone Dolly the Sheep. However, many scientists fear these animals would be unable to survive in the modern world without their ancient habitat. Such techniques also can lead to deformities and health problems in the animals. However the researchers behind the genetic analysis have urged other scientists not to attempt this for fear of the suffering it may cause to the animals. Instead, they say their findings have revealed new insights into the evolutionary history and demise of the woolly mammoths. They have published full DNA sequences of one mammoth found in Oimyakon, northeast Siberia \u2013 thought to be around 45,000 years old \u2013 and another from one of the last surviving mammoths found on Wrangel Island, north of Russia in the Arctic Ocean. They found that the mammoths on Wrangel Island had been isolated for at least 5,000 years, eking out a meager existence there before dying out 4,500 years ago. Analysis showed that the parents of the mammoth found on Wrangel Island had been distant relatives, suggesting the population had been inbreeding. Dr Love Dal\u00e9n, an associate professor of Bioinformatics and Genetics at the Swedish Museum of Natural History who took part in the study, said: \u2018We found that the genome from one of the world\u2019s last mammoths displayed low genetic variation and a signature consistent with inbreeding. \u2018This is likely due to the small number of mammoths that managed to survive on Wrangel Island during the last", "summary": "The last mammoths died out on an Arctic island around 4,500 years ago .

New NHS guidelines urge GPs to draw up end-of-life plans for over-75s, as well as younger patients suffering from cancer, dementia, heart disease or serious lung conditions. They are also being told to ask whether the patient wants doctors to try to resuscitate them if their health suddenly deteriorates. New NHS guidelines urge GPs to draw up end-of-life plans for over-75s and say it will improve their care . The NHS says the guidance will improve patients' end-of-life care, but medical professionals say it is 'blatantly wrong' and will frighten the elderly into thinking they are being 'written off'. In some surgeries, nurses are cold-calling patients over 75 or with long-term conditions and asking them over the phone if they have 'thought about resuscitation'. Other patients have spoken of the shock of going in for a routine check-up and being asked about resuscitation. The extraordinary new guidance has been brought in despite the outcry over the use of 'do not resuscitate' orders under the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP). The discredited pathway was scrapped last year after the Mail revealed that doctors were placing 'DNR' notices on patients without their knowledge and depriving them of food and fluids. The guidelines \u2013 which also recommend patients should be asked if they want to die at home \u2013 have been drawn up by experts advising NHS England, the organisation which runs the health service. Patients have spoken of the shock of going in for a routine check-up and being asked about resuscitation . One expert last night said the guidance was 'the thin end of the wedge of assisted suicide'. Professor Patrick Pullicino, who spearheaded the campaign against the LCP, said: 'What is most blatantly wrong is trying to get someone to agree to a 'do not resuscitate' order before they are even sick. For somebody who is perfectly well, or has got a mild or not a serious illness, that would be totally out of place.' Roy Lilley, a health policy analyst and former NHS trust chairman, said: 'It will give some older people the impression that no-one wants to bother with them. It looks as though they're being told: 'You're old, how do you want to die because you're in the way'. 'It's a very clunky thing to do \u2013 it's completely unnecessary.' Roger Goss, of Patient Concern, said: 'There will be some people who will be put out, disconcerted and think they are not going to get the best available care. They might think this is a way of saving money for the NHS. Other patients will be prepared to talk about it and think it sensible.' A 'do not resuscitate' order is meant to stop a patient suffering unnecessarily where their lives are likely to be extended for only a short period of time.

Steven Allison, 37, formerly of Idle near Bradford, West Yorkshire, had been uploading pictures of himself looking tanned and happy as he enjoyed his freedom in his new life Down Under. But he was unaware the net was closing in as British police teamed up with colleagues in Australia and Interpol to locate Allison, who was living in the country's capital, Canberra. Steven Allison (left) was uploading pictures of himself in Australia to Facebook and writing posts about his former life in Yorkshire (right) despite being on the running from the law . Allison had already been on the run for a year when he was given a 30 month jail sentence for sexually assaulting two women after failing to turn up at Bradford Crown Court in February last year. He was supposed to be lying low in Sydney, where he found work as a labourer and handyman, but couldn't resist showing off his new life to his 739 Facebook friends. The sex attacker, who goes by 'Stig' on Facebook, posted pictures of his former life in Yorkshire and boasted about his carefree bachelor lifestyle, saying he wanted to meet women. Allison even joked about days being drunk in his hometown, including posts such as 'fooocking leathered that day,, for a change haha [sic]'. He also posted pictures of himself in his t-shirt on a building site with his arms raised in a mocking salute to Facebook friends, many of whom had no idea about his criminal past. The assaults happened in June 2013 when Allison had been out drinking with a friend in Yeadon, Leeds, where he approached two women who rejected his advances. Allison would not take no for an answer and indecently assaulted one of his victims as she left the pub in disgust. He had been laying low in Sydney (pictured) before moving to Canberra, where authorities closed in on him . When her friend threw a drink over him the rugby fan snapped and punched both girls to the ground. A West Yorkshire force spokesman said Allison had been charged with two sexual assaults but failed to appear in court. He added: 'Enquiries made by Bradford District's Public Protection Unit and Interpol traced him to Australia, where he had been working on construction sites. 'He was located in January this year and subsequently held in a detention centre, while arrangements were made for him to be returned to the UK.' While being held, Allison made one last bid for freedom by feigning an arm injury so he could attempt to escape while being taken for medical treatment. But his plan failed and he was brought back to the UK yesterday in handcuffs and flanked by three security guards from Australia. Det Insp Ben McDonald, of the Bradford District Safeguarding Unit, said: 'It was clear that Allison felt he could cheat justice by fleeing the country and escaping to Australia.

The number of deaths every year in Britain \u2013 which have been falling for the past 40 years \u2013 will rise by 20 per cent over the next two decades, as the lives of unprecedented numbers born in the post-baby boom come to an end.

Loss of baby boomers: The number of UK deaths per will rise by 20 per cent over the next two decades, as funeral costs have already risen by 80 per cent over the past ten years . The report, prepared by an old age think tank, the International Longevity Centre-UK, and backed by insurance firm OneFamily, suggests that younger people who already feel financially hard pressed in comparison to their parents will still be under money pressure even after their deaths. Younger people are finding it increasingly difficult to afford homes or to start families, and in the long-term their pensions are much less secure than those of their parents, many of whom enjoyed the generous and fast-disappearing defined benefit pension system. The report from ILC-UK to be published next week said that death rates are set to go up following a long period in which medical advances, better diet, healthier lifestyles and the growing unpopularity of smoking, and the decline of dangerous heavy industrial jobs, have meant fewer people have been dying despite a rising population. \u2018After decades of the number of deaths in the UK falling, 2015 will mark a tipping point where the historic trend starts to reverse,\u2019 it said. \u2018As the oldest of the baby boomer generation move through their later years, deaths are predicted to rise by 20 per cent.\u2019 Expensive end: A \u2018simple\u2019 funeral, with a cremation, a minister and an undertaker, now costs an average of \u00a33,590, an old age think tank has found .

The unnamed caller gave the operator a blow-by-blow account as he wandered behind Rafi Meitiv, 10, and his sister Dvora, 6, in Silver Spring on Sunday. The 7-minute call would reignite a controversy focused on those kids and their scientist parents, Danielle and Alexander Meitiv, who espouse the hands-off parenting style. The caller, who was out walking his dog in the suburb adjacent to Washington, DC, said he saw 'two kids that are unaccompanied, and they've been walking around for probably about 20 minutes by themselves.' Scene: The 911 call that reignited the 'free-range' parenting controversy for two Maryland parents has been released and reveals that Rafi Meitiv, 10, and his sister Dvora, 6, were picked up by police while walking through this vicinity of the Washington, DC-adjacent suburb of Silver Spring on Sunday . The operator asked, 'Have you talked to them to see, you know, why are they just walking around by themselves?' 'No, no, they came up and asked to pet my dog, I let them, and that was it...I don't want to scare them,' he said. The man continued to tail the children, who eventually did become frightened when they realized they were being followed, until police arrived.

Most of the compensation consisted of stock valued at $100 million. It was the largest stock package that Schmidt has received since 2011 when Google Inc. awarded him a bundle valued at $94 million at the time he relinquished the CEO's job to company co-founder Larry Page. Documents filed with regulators Thursday also disclosed that Page and the company's other founder, Sergey Brin, limited their 2014 pay to $1 each, as has been their practice for years. Payday: Google paid its billionaire Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt nearly $109 million last year while the company's stock slumped, it's been revealed . Schmidt also pocketed a $1.25 million salary, a $6 million bonus and perks valued at nearly $1 million. His total pay last year soared by more than five-fold from 2013 when his Google compensation was valued at $19.3 million. The hefty raise came in a year that saw Google's stock drop by 5 percent amid investor concerns about the company's big spending on far-flung projects. Analysts have also questioned whether Google will be able to maintain its dominance in Internet search as more people rely on smartphones instead of personal computers to access digital content. The downturn in Google's stock contrasted with an 11 percent gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 index last year. Schmidt, 59, already is among the world's richest people with an estimated fortune of $9 billion, according to Forbes. Most of his wealth has been built on the Google stock that he began accumulating when he became the Mountain View, California, company's CEO in 2001. The Associated Press calculates executive compensation by including salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest that the company pays on deferred compensation, and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year.

So much so that battle plans would be drawn up to specifically give the castle at Zhangjiakou, in China's northern Hebei province, a wide berth. Now archaeologists have begun a daunting project to restore the once-mighty site to something approaching it previous glory, in particular the dilapidated outer wall that repelled every attack which invading Mongolian armies could throw at it. Among the works being carried out at Wanquan Castle is the restoration of the fortress' dilapidated outer wall . Workers restore the southern barbican entrance to Wanquan Castle, which was known as the Ming Dynasty's 'Martial City' The fortress was built in 1393 and managed to repel all attacks by the invading Mongolian armies . The fortress measures some two kilometres in circumference and was protected by an imposing 12-metre wall . The restoration of the fortress - which was given the coveted title of 'Wucheng' or 'Martial City' after its construction in 1393 - will see building work completed in the original Ming Dynasty style of architecture, reports People's Daily Online. The project will see the restoration of the Ming and Qing era commercial districts, the Great Wall Martial Museum, the Golden Harvest Academy and performance theatres as well as the opening of the Red Tourist Route, with all work planned to be complete in 2016. The restoration work will also include the ongoing protection of surviving structures. The castle in Wanquan county - known in China as a 'living fossil of the Ming military system' - was built in 1393 but is relatively well-preserved, especially the interior city area which includes the residences of generals and wealthy merchants. The fortress has huge historical, cultural and military significance and has key cultural relic status in China. While much of the interior city is in good condition, the outer wall is somewhat dilapidated and will be the focus of much of the work . The restoration work, which is due to be completed next year, will where possible be carried out in the style of Ming Dynasty architecture . The Ming Dynasty ruled China for 276 years, between the years 1368 and 1644, and is often described as the last of the great Chinese dynasties. During the era large scale architectural and civil engineering projects were created or expanded, including the Great Wall of China, the Grand Canal and the Forbidden City, located in Beijing. It took 15 years to build, using more than one million workers, and has almost 1,000 buildings. Art flourished during the Ming Dynasty, which saw an explosion of literature, painting, poetry, music and porcelain - with Ming vases and plates valuable collector items to this day. Following popular uprising and rebellions across China, the Chinese army was defeated and the Ming Dynasty collapsed when its last emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on a tree in the imperial garden outside the Forbidden City, in 1644.

+{"article": "The idea that your tongue is separated into \u2018zones\u2019 for different tastes has been widely debunked - although the exact process taking place is still poorly understood. But now, for the first time, scientists have created a live imaging map of the tongue's taste buds to determine what happens each time we place food in our mouths. It reveals how taste buds have different cells that are used to differentiate between between the five basic groups of flavours. A Harvard-led study has mapped taste buds on a tongue for the first time. Scientists examined the different cells used to identify taste and watched these cells capture and process molecules live. Shown is a taste bud with receptor cells (green), blood cells (red) and collagen surrounding the bud (blue) The research was conducted by an international team that included the Australian National University (ANU) and the Harvard Medical School. They used a specially designed microscope system to image single cells on the tongue of a mouse. Shining a bright infrared laser on the mouse\u2019s tongue caused different parts of it and \u2018flavour molecules\u2019 to fluoresce. Penguins lost three of the five basic vertebrate tastes - sweet, bitter and the savoury, meaty taste known as umami - more than 20 million years ago and never regained them, researchers have found. Researchers say the genes were lost after cold Antarctic temperatures interfered with taste perception. University of Michigan researchers said they were surprised by the discovery . Because penguins are fish eaters, the loss of the umami taste is especially perplexing, said study leader Dr Jianzhi 'George' Zhang, a professor in the U-M Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Dr Zhang suspects the sensory changes are tied to ancient climate-cooling events in Antarctica, where penguins originated. Using a method called intravital multiphoton microscopy, the scientists were then able to pick out individual taste cells within each bud. They were also able to spot blood vessels up to 240 microns - 240 millionths of a metre (0.0024mm) - below the surface of the tongue. \u2018We've watched live taste cells capture and process molecules with different tastes,\u2019 said biomedical engineer Dr Steve Lee, from ANU. There are more than 2,000 taste buds on the human tongue, which can distinguish at least five tastes: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and umami - a word used to describe smooth and typically savoury, meaty sensations. However, the relationship between the many taste cells within a taste bud, and our perception of taste, has been a long-standing mystery, said Professor Seok-Hyun Yun from Harvard Medical School. \u2018With this new imaging tool we have shown that each taste bud contains taste cells for different tastes,\u2019 said Professor Yun. The breakthrough complements recent studies by other research groups that identified the areas in the brain associated with taste. Interestingly, the results showed that taste cells respond not only to molecules contacting the surface of the tongue, but also to molecules in the blood circulation. The researchers used a specially designed microscope system to image single cells on the tongue of a mouse.

A man identified as Walter Witt on YouTube was casually filming a serene forest with gentle waterfalls a short distance away from the foot of the 6,500-foot-high Calbuco volcano.

Nothing to see here: This hiker's surroundings are serene up until the moment a volcano erupts before his eyes and he runs for the hills . 'Wow,' he then says with shock as he pics up his camera and travels as far away from the erupting volcano as he possibly can. The Volcano has been dormant since 1972 and neither scientists nor government officials predicted the eruption, reports Mashable. Volcano Calbuco, believed to be among the three most dangerous of Chile's 90 active volcanoes, had erupted for the first time at 6pm local time on Wednesday. An estimated 1,500 people were forced to flee the nearby town of Ensenada after the eruption, while several smaller townships were also cleared. Locals described an apocalyptic scene as ash clouds were shot six miles into the air creating an incredible display of lightning and lava against the night's sky. Another unexpected eruption in the Los Lagos Region heightened fears of local waters becoming contaminated, residents developing severe breathing problems and more flights being grounded. 'Beautiful volcano': The hikers speaks about the volcano's natural beauty just seconds before it erupts . The ash covered cars and houses in cities as far as 18 miles away from the source of the eruption as another massive evacuation effort gets underway. Previous and equally violent eruptions at Calbuco have continued for up to a week, according to a volcanologist from Oxford University who told Dailymail.com it is impossible to predict what will happen next. The volcano is located near the tourist town of Puerto Varas and the city of Puerto Montt, a little more than 620 miles south of Chile's capital, Santiago. The National Mining and Geology Service issued a high alert, setting up an exclusion zone of 12.5miles around the volcano, barring access to the area. Trevor Moffat, who lives in Ensenada, some six miles from the volcano, said the eruption happened without warning. Volcano Calbuco's last major eruption happened in 1961, with a weak eruption following in 1972. He said: 'It sounded like a big tractor trailer passing by the road, rattling and shaking, guttural rumbling ... we left everything there, grabbed my kid, my dog, got in the car with my wife. Mr Moffat, who was originally born in Canada, said he was now driving his family to Puerto Varas. He added: 'All the neighbors were outside, a lot of young people crying. Armageddon type reaction.'

And after failing to secure a single win at home in six months in charge \u2014 culminating in a woeful 2-0 defeat by Derby on Monday \u2014 Mackay would certainly shoulder much of the blame for that.

But Tibetan Mastiffs are now so unpopular in China they are being sent to slaughterhouses \u2013 and their meat put into cheap hotpots. The dogs' dramatic decline in fortune is being partly blamed on the Chinese government's wide-reaching anti-corruption crackdown. Previously, wealthy businessmen would give the prized mastiffs to officials in the hope of influencing their decisions. Luo Yi, general manager of China's largest Tibetan Mastiff puppy farm, told People's Daily Online: 'The anti-corruption drive means people not daring to hand them out as gifts - nor would anyone take one as a gift.' It is also thought recent bans on owning dogs of more than 50kg in several Chinese cities - including Beijing, Zhengzhou, Shanghai and Tianjin - has had a huge impact on the breed's popularity. Tibetan Mastiffs \u2013 which were traditionally used in Tibet to herd other animals and are known for their loyalty - can weigh up to 80kg. China's mastiff market collapse was revealed after animal-welfare workers rescued a group of the dogs that were being transported to a slaughterhouse. The abattoir they were heading to provides hotpot meat for restaurants. The dogs' skin can also be used for leather belts. Rescuers said they found the 20 mastiffs in cramped cages. A third of the dogs were already dead and none had been given food or water for three days. Several were suffering from broken bones. Shocking trade: Twenty Tibetan mastiffs were recently found crammed into cages on their way to a slaughterhouse like the dogs in this picture - taken on a motorway in the Chinese capital Beijing in 2009 . It is feared that across China hundreds of the dogs are meeting such a cruel fate. Mastiffs are also being stolen from the streets by ruthless gangs, who sell them to the slaughterhouses, say animal charities. Unscrupulous breeders are also offloading their 'imperfect' specimens to the abattoirs. Luo Yi, whose puppy farm is in Tibet, said some of his fellow breeders had damaged the quality of the breed to make more money. 'Driven by profits there was a lot of cross-breeding which resulted in a deterioration of the Tibetan mastiff in terms of appearance as well as temperament,' he explained. There was now a glut of poor-quality dogs that can't be sold, he added. Loyal: Tibetan mastiffs, like the one here, were originally used by people in Tibet to herd other animals . In their heyday: A visitor plays with one of the dogs at a Tibetan mastiff show in Shenyang city four years ago .

The ex-Rangers youth has been mourning the loss of Shaun Cole, 22, who was found dead in a Miami street last weekend and is thought to have been the victim of a hit-and-run driver. A soldier who had served in Afghanistan, he was on holiday in Florida while on leave and had attended a music festival there before being found on a pavement with a head injury which proved fatal. Livingston boss Mark Burchill is hopeful that midfielder Darren Cole will turn out for his side on Sunday . Livingston star Cole, 23, was close to Shaun and paid tribute to the army private on his Twitter account this week. He wrote: 'I know you won't be here for the rest of our lives but I can promise I'll love you for the rest of mine.' Cole was granted time off by the Championship side as they prepare to face Alloa at McDiarmid Park in their first national final in 11 years. But he returned to training on Wednesday and is due to work with the players again after a squad day off on Thursday. Burchill is not putting any pressure on the 23-year-old to play despite the fact he has been a key member of the team since signing a short-term deal in February. He will give Cole as much time as he needs to grieve and accept whatever decision he makes - but admits that the former Murray Park youngster has given the impression he would like to be involved. Burchill said: 'Darren was away from the club initially and we don't really know what to expect but I am speaking with him constantly to plan with him. 'He came back to training on Wednesday but is still in a bit of shock after what has happened, which is completely understandable. 'If I'm honest, I really don't know if he is going to play so we will need to see how things go once we get towards Saturday and Sunday. 'I think Darren would like to play but he has never been through something like this before in his life. 'Him and Shaun were much closer than a lot of cousins are. They grew up together, were around the same age and lived in the same area. They were best mates. 'Darren and his family want to find out exactly what happened and get a wee bit of closure because they still don't know the circumstances. 'We will do everything we can as a club to keep his head straight. It goes without saying we would like him to be involved and I think he would like to be.

A Philadelphia court heard Thursday that Corry 'Corey' Campbell, 21, was the ringleader of the gang, who have become known as the 'tattoo terrorists'. Campbell believed the victim, Greg Valecce, had hurt his cat, Pebbles. Valecce, an unemployed drug addict, had been staying in the basement of Campbell's mother's house in Mayfair, in the city's northeast, however that basement would become a torture chamber where he would be strapped to a chair and violated for three days. Torture chamber: Corry 'Corey' Campbell, 21 (left), the ringleader of a gang dubbed the 'tattoo terrorists' was jailed for 20 years Thursday for the abuse in March/April 21. David Harrison (right) is awaiting sentencing . Accomplices: Sandra Ng, 19 (left), Campbell's girlfriend, was sentenced to 23 months in state prison for her role in the shocking assault last year, while another defendant Jennifer Pratt, 40, is awaiting trial . Campbell apparently discovered that Pebbles had suffered a broken leg and had reason to believe Valecce was responsible. The incident occurred in late March 2014, according to Philly.com. Campbell, his girlfriend Sandra Ng, 19, and friend Carl Halin, 18, cornered Valecce in the basement and took turns punching, slapping and spitting on him. On top of hurting Pebbles, Campbell believed Valecce had also stolen money and some weed. The trio, described by the paper as 'wannabe gangsters', filmed the abuse, with the video played in court this week. 'Please stop,' Valecce could be heard saying while crying into his hands. 'Please, please stop.' Ng could be heard in every video screaming at Valecce to stand up, so she could pummel him and call him a 'b----'. After Valecce was beaten he was tied to a chair. While restrained Campbell tattooed 'RIP Pebbles' onto his right arm along with a smiley face that had breasts for eyes and a penis for a nose. Halin then took over the tattoo gun. He inked swastikas, Stars of David, two variations of the N-word and a penis ejaculating on a rainbow with the words 'Gay Pride' beside it, Philly.com reported. Valecce suffered three busted ribs, two broken wrists and fractured bones in his face. He was able to escape on April 1 while the others slept and contact police. The incident lasted about 42 hours, the court was told. Scene: The abuse occurred in the basement of a rowhouse on Brighton Ave, Mayfair in north Philadelphia .

Three former England rugby internationals - Lewis Moody, Josh Lewsey and Danny Grewcock - continued with their trip to the North Pole despite the landing gear of their plane collapsing on their way out .

Moody, 36, said: 'We didn't know anything was wrong.' 'There were murmurs about it and instead of it being a smooth landing I think maybe they had to put the plane down a bit quicker than normal.

I've been referred to hospital but the appointment isn't for three months. Although I'm otherwise in good health, I'm quite worried. A: Mouth ulcers may seem like a minor ailment but can actually be incredibly distressing. The pain can severely impact on quality of life, as eating and drinking are significantly affected. As many as 20 per cent of people suffer with the occasional single mouth ulcer and these are of no consequence. They are usually shallow and occur on the tongue or inside the lip or cheek. These small painful ulcers usually last no more than ten days and require no treatment. Mouth ulcers may seem like a minor ailment but can actually be incredibly distressing. The pain can severely impact on quality of life, as eating and drinking are significantly affected . We have a rule in medicine that any single mouth ulcer lasting longer than three weeks should be investigated in order to rule out a cancer of the mouth, but this would usually be an isolated ulcer that does not heal, rather than multiple lesions. Multiple ongoing mouth ulcers are quite a different issue and certainly warrant further investigation. Initially it is worth taking blood tests to establish deficiencies of iron, B12 or folic acid that could be a root cause of significant tongue and mouth problems. It is equally important to consider multiple chronic mouth ulcers as a symptom of bowel disease, as both coeliac disease and Crohn's disease can first present as mouth ulcers. Coeliac can be identified on specific blood tests and Crohn's on a thorough history, examination and specialist opinion. A sudden-onset chronic issue in a previously healthy person does need proper assessment, and referral to a specialist certainly seems appropriate. While waiting to see a specialist, always make another GP appointment if something has changed or you feel that perhaps an important symptom has been missed. Q: Three years ago I had an operation to remove my prostate because of cancer. This seems to have been a success so far because my prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are zero. However, I now have a urine infection which has resisted five courses of antibiotics. At a recent hospital visit a registrar suggested that I drink at least three litres of water daily. I am not sure I'll manage this. What can I do? Surgery to remove the prostate for cancer can lead to urinary problems in about one in five cases, as well as erectile dysfunction for almost two-thirds of men. The former may manifest as incontinence or leakage of urine rather than recurrent infections. These are more likely when the bladder cannot empty properly, as urine is able to stagnate and bacteria can multiply. This typically occurs in men with an enlarged prostate, which puts pressure on the bladder, but would not seem likely if a prostate has been removed.

An 18-year-old who assaulted a paramedic after he was caught trying to have sex in an ambulance has been jailed. Paramedics found Kyle Hargreaves kissing a girl on a stretcher in the back of the vehicle, which had been called to an address in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. The ambulance crew had left the doors open while they collected a 92-year-old man with chest pain from inside the property. They returned to find Hargreaves and the girl, who has not been named, lying on top of each other. When confronted by paramedic Michael Newman, Hargreaves said: 'What's your problem? We are just trying to have sex'. The teenager then punched Mr Newman three times as the patient was being carried out to the vehicle. Hargreaves, of Immingham, Lincolnshire, pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Newman and breaching his Antisocial Behaviour Order by using threatening behaviour towards him. He was jailed for two years and eight months at Grimsby Crown Court. The court was told that the ambulance responded to the call shortly after 10pm on February 15. One of the crew left the back doors of the ambulance open, which is normal practice, when he brought a chair inside for the man. In the few minutes the crew were away, Hargreaves and the girl, sneaked inside. When paramedic Michael Newman returned to the vehicle, he found Hargreaves and the girl kissing on the stretcher. He said they appeared to have been drinking. He told them to get out of the ambulance because the crew needed to take the patient to hospital. Hargreaves told him they were 'trying to have sex'.

The 92-year-old man, who was still in the carry chair, was protected by an ambulance technician and the patient's son at the time. The panic button on the crew's radio was used to alert the police. The girl who was with Hargreaves bit ambulance technician William Heron on his hand. Mr Newman suffered a huge black eye, a cut to his nose and a nose bleed. Hargreaves spat saliva and blood into Mr Newman's face. The crew restrained Hargreaves until the police arrived by holding him down. Another crew was sent out to take the pensioner to hospital. Judge David Tremberg branded the punching and spitting assault on the paramedic 'disgusting' and 'uncivilised' behaviour towards a paramedic who was just doing his job.

After the hearing, Steve Pratten, of the East Midlands Ambulance Service, said: 'This was a disgraceful act, not only to attack an emergency ambulance crew while they were engaged on their duties and were trying to look after a patient, but it was also completely selfish and completely irresponsible because of what they were trying to use the ambulance for.

Here's what the latest research has to say: . So, it is really six inches? A new paper in the British Journal of Urology International is based on the results of scientists who reviewed 20 different studies of penis size, including 15,521 measurements of penises from around the world. Most importantly, it was based only on studies where the penis had been measured by a trained health professional (surprise, surprise: men aren't terribly honest or accurate when they measure it themselves). The result: most men fall within just a couple of centimetres of each other, with most measuring around 5.2 inches in length when erect with a 4.6 inch circumference.

Mikki Nicholson, who was a national Scrabble champion, stepped in front of a train, on November 7 last year after suffering daily verbal abuse in Carlisle, Cumbria.

The inquest heard how she was receiving psychiatric treatment in the months before her death, and had spent time as an inpatient at Carlisle's Carleton Clinic. After she was discharged, she was supported by psychiatric nurse Clive Guyo. Mr Guyo said that she clung to the hope that her life would be improved by leaving Carlisle, according to the News and Star. He said: 'Mikki described Carlisle as being hostile to people who are different. She spoke of facing verbal abuse while walking in the streets because of how she appeared to other people. 'Schoolchildren were often the worst for making fun of her and verbally abusing her. Ms Nicholson, pictured before the championships in 2009, had planned a move to Newcastle, where she had hoped people would be more accepting. But she changed her mind after being told she risked homelessness . 'She had a negative view of Carlisle based on past experience. There's no doubt she felt stigmatised.' The inquest heard that Ms Nicholson wanted to move to Newcastle, but was told she would be considered 'intentionally homeless' if she left her Carlisle flat, which was temporary housing. The classification would make it hard to find social housing elsewhere. She had no money for a deposit or to rent privately. Ms Nicholson, who was crowned both UK and European Scrabble champion, became increasingly unhappy in the months before her death, the inquest heard. She was killed instantly when she stepped in front of a train. Coroner David Roberts said Ms Nicholson had been well supported by the psychiatric services, recording a conclusion that she had deliberately killed herself. Jonathan Hammond, a local resident, was on a footpath next to the line at the time of the incident and witnessed the death, according to the News and Star.

The Strongsville pet owner was inside a Walmart as the dog sat in the parking lot. The officer then had the woman sit inside with the windows up and ignition off. And this isn't the first time an animal-loving officer has employed the unorthodox punishment. In the recent Ohio incident, the woman was left 'looking uncomfortable' as she sat in her unventilated Nissan Sentra, but drove away with just a warning and her tail between her legs.

In Truth or Consequences, New Mexico last June, the pet owner in question wasn't as eager to put the incident behind her. Shelly Nicholas filed a report against an officer who told her to sit in her car after someone called to report a dog was inside with no ventilation in 90 degree heat. Nicholas reasoned that she'd only been away ten minutes. 'You can wait in the truck and close the door you know, since it's not that hot,' the officer is heard saying to Nicholas in body camera footage later obtained by KOB. However, in her report, Nicholas characterizes the officers words as an 'order' and the footage does not show her actually sitting in the hot car as police wrote her a ticket. Sweating it out: Last year, Shelly Nicholas in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico was told to sit in her hot car after her dog was found locked inside with no ventilation. She filed a report against the officers, but body cam footage later revealed it was more of a request than an order . Declined to do it: Nicholas declined to sit in the the hot car with the door closed in spite of the officer's request . While this may not be a legitimate police practice, officers have reason for concern in these situations, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. While Nicholas argued she'd only been gone 10 minutes, the AVMA says that temperatures can rise 20F inside a car in that short amount of time. In 20 minutes, the temperature can rise by nearly 30 degrees. Even on a 70F day, writes the AVMA, the interior of a car can reach 110F after one hour.

The secret document, which has the exact GPS co-ordinates of vital facilities as well as information on the depth of concrete on the runway were published unencrypted on the MoD's website. The details could be used as 'an invasion guide' by Argentina, with the technical information providing excellent intelligence to any Argentine bombers sent to attack the islands. The Falklands Islands are defended by a squadron of RAF Typhoon aircraft operating from Mount Pleasant aerodrome on West Falkland, supported by a refueling tanker to extend their operational area . The aerodrome also operates as a Search and Rescue location with Sea King helicopters, pictured . The airstrip, pictured, is home to four Europfighter Typhoon aircraft tasked with defending the islands . The Aerodrome Manual was accidentally uploaded onto a public section of the MoD's website and could have been downloaded by Argentine intelligence agents to help prepare a mission to recapture the islands. A senior military source told The Express: 'This is exactly the kind of intel foreign powers send spies to get. 'It's practically an invasion handbook. Taking out the runway could cripple Britain's ability to fight off invaders in the ongoing sovereignty dispute.' The MoD admitted the manual had been available on the internet but the link had been disabled. They denied the information was particularly sensitive.

Vanessa Kennard, one of the nurses caring for Mr Clarke at the West Kent Neuro-rehabilitation unit at Sevenoaks Hospital, has been suspended from her role for six months after being charged with misconduct . His family became concerned when they visited him at the West Kent Neuro-rehabilitation unit and discovered he smelled of urine and was becoming more and more depressed. His partner Binny Moore planted a secret camera in an iPod docking station. The footage captured revealed the shocking extent of neglect Mr Clarke was subjected to. It showed him looking on helplessly as one nurse dug into his feeding tubes with a biro pen, while another clip showed Ms Kennard pulling a help buzzer from his hands.

McDowell has made the cut just twice in seven attempts in the Masters - although he finished 17th in 2009 and 12th in 2012 - and concedes the long course does not suit his game. But the 35-year-old Northern Irishman added: 'Despite the fact that my record round here is not great, I do love this golf course. I could easily play it every day and be very content. 'It's such a great golf course, you learn something about it every year. I was out there just picking up little nuances that I haven't perhaps noticed before and putting those in the memory bank and trying to apply your knowledge and experience and hope that some year I can come here and really compete. This could be the year. The golfer (left) took in a practice round with his coach Pete Cowen on the Augusta National course . 'I am excited. I am really focusing hard on my chipping and putting this year. I haven't putted well enough here and it seems like such an obvious key round here. 'Sometimes I have required a padded cell when I've walked off the 18th green because I have got frustrated, but I have learned to understand why the course frustrates you, because it makes you play with the handbrake on. You have to take it off sometimes and play aggressively to conservative targets. 'That's a sort of sports psychology thing, but it means you take shots on that you fancy and if you don't like it you have to play safe. Sometimes it can be dangerous to be playing extremely well coming in here because it gets you to take too much on. Sometimes when you are a tiny bit off and have to play a tiny bit safer and smarter, that can be a good recipe around here so it's getting that right balance.'

The Middlesex seamer admitted he finds it 'baffling' he faces criticism for not hitting the highly-prized 90mph mark, vowing to chase an England recall despite missing the West Indies tour. The 26-year-old was one of the few pluses of a dismal World Cup run, and is now intent on forcing his way into the reckoning for next summer's Test challenges against New Zealand and Australia. Finn, pictured at the Middlesex photo call ahead of the county season, has vowed to regain his England place . Finn hit back at those critics who say he should be hitting the 90mph mark with his bowling . 'The frustrating thing is that I've never been somebody who bowls 90 miles an hour for a whole day of cricket, that's simply never happened in my career,' said Finn. 'So it's frustrating when people say 'you've lost pace, you've lost this, you've lost that' when I haven't. 'Maybe I bowled the odd spell up above 90 that I'm working back towards, but consistently my paces have been the same as they have in the past. 'But because there are other bowlers in the world who are bowling 95 miles an hour consistently, it's like we're searching for that, and it's almost falling on my head. 'It's as though people are saying 'you're the guy who's done it for a few spells, so why aren't you doing it all the time?'. 'So it's frustrating that people keep talking about that, because if you're taking wickets, why does it matter if you're bowling 87 or 93 miles an hour. Finn celebrates a wicket during England's World Cup win over Scotland back in February . Finn, seen after taking five wickets in England's World Cup warm-up over India, was a high point of the tour . 'What does it matter? You're taking wickets. 'So that to me is baffling and it's silly to me, I find it stupid, but each to their own. 'Yes there might be a couple of extra miles an hour in there, as I've always been searching for. 'Ever since I was 20 and came into international cricket I've always been looking at how I am going to get better and make myself a member of the England team who is hard to be left out. 'And that's what I'm working back towards, and I certainly feel I'm on the way.' Watford-born Finn was sent home midway through England's disastrous Ashes tour that ended in 5-0 defeat early last year. The pace bowler wrestled with his action for months, but has since hit back to form, and is now confident he can reach new heights and resurrect his Test career.

And then Parkhead manager said the striker\u2019s desire to prove him wrong should serve as an example to any player left out of his starting XI. Griffiths took just 19 minutes to score a treble that takes Celtic ever closer to a clean sweep of domestic honours, staking an obvious claim to start in Sunday\u2019s Scottish Cup semi-final against Inverness at Hampden. Deila, asked if he thought the forward was trying to prove a point, said: \u2018It looks like that - and that\u2019s how you\u2019re going to do it. That\u2019s what I expect from the other subs as well. You can be angry but the way to get back into the team is to prove you deserve to play - like Leigh did today. Ronny Deila celebrates after Celtic came from behind to beat Kilmarnock at Parkhead on Wednesday . \u2018He was fabulous. You can\u2019t do any better than three goals.

A Washington Post journalist who has been detained in Iran for eight months has been accused of 'espionage' and 'acting against national security', according to an Iranian news agency. Iranian officials announced in January that Jason Rezaian, who is the Post's Tehran bureau chief, would stand trial before the country's Revolutionary Court to face 'security charges', but did not elaborate what those charges were. The Fars news agency did not reveal the source for their information, but the agency is considered to be close to the ultra conservative Iran hard-liners. The report alleges that Rezaian, 39, obtained economic and industrial information from the country and then sold it to unnamed Americans. Rezaian was also linked to Omid Memarian, a US-based Iranian opposition journalist, in the report. Fars claimed that 'selling Iran's economic and industrial information at a time of sanctions is exactly like selling food at a time of war'. Iran is subject to sanctions from the U.S, Europe and the United Nations due to its nuclear program. In the Washington Post, executive editor Martin Baron called the allegations a 'farce and a sham'. 'Seven months have passed without Iranian legal authorities publicly outlining the allegations against Jason,' he said. 'Now we have someone outside the judiciary system making outlandish allegations that come with no evidence. This isn't justice.' Leila Ahsan, Rezaian's lawyer, would not comment on the specific charges that have been brought against her client but said she has studied the text of the indictment and will brief his family in the upcoming days. Ashan said she visited the journalist in prison last month and that he appeared to be 'in good health and spirits'. 'I can see him anytime,' she said. 'Jason asked me to provide a strong defense.

But when it is ready, it could be worth more than \u00a31million - and would prove itself a wise investment for the buyer. A strong market and rising prices mean vintage vehicles are increasingly popular as financial investments - and the value of some classic cars rose by 257 per cent between 2005 and 2013, it was recently reported. But when it is ready, it could be worth more than \u00a31million - and would prove itself a wise investment for the anonymous British collector who bought it . Earlier this week, a clapped out 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series III went on the market - offering car fanatics the chance to restore the virtually untouched vehicle - with the promise of being worth three times its \u00a3220,000 price tag when finished. The R-Type was the second series of post-war Bentley automobiles, replacing the Mark VI. It was considered the epitome of British luxury in the 1950s as well as being the first car to carry the Continental nameplate. It was the fastest production car of the period as it could reach 120mph. But despite its speed capability, the Continental model was produced specifically for the domestic market in continental Europe. And despite vehicles having the same uniform style, each car was unique in detail and unlike almost every car of its time, the Continental had an all-aluminum body. Richard Charlesworth, Bentley's director of royal and VIP relations, described the 1954 Bentley as 'one of the rarest and most iconic cars of its time' as only 218 were made. He also referred to it as 'almost the Bugatti Veyron of its day'. However, this white model is far from fast after spending the past 15 years gathering dust in a barn.

In a written verdict, a Lisbon court agreed that Amaral should pay Mr and Mrs McCann \u20ac250,000 (\u00a3179,000) each in damages and banned further sales of his book The Truth Of The Lie.

Police chief Goncalo Amaral (above) ran the initial investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann . Madeleine was three when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007, as her parents dined at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends. Mr Amaral, who led the initial investigation into Madeleine's disappearance, released his book three days after the case was closed in 2008. He later took part in a documentary for Portuguese television in which he claimed that Madeleine was dead, that there had been no abduction and the McCanns had hidden her body. The couple, who accuse Amaral of hampering the search for their daughter, had been expected to receive around \u00a31million in damages. Amaral's lawyers have leave to appeal the ruling. The McCanns told the court last summer they were left 'devastated and crushed' by his book, which sold around 120,000 copies before it was withdrawn when the couple won an injunction against the ex-police chief. Mrs McCann, 47, said Madeleine's twin siblings Sean and Amelie, now ten, knew Mr Amaral had written a book but didn't know the detail. Amaral claimed Madeleine (above) had not been abducted, but had died in an accident in Praia da Luz . She told the court last July after applying to make a statement: 'I believe that's what's in Mr Amaral's book and the documentary is very distressing to adults. 'To a child, it could be very damaging.' Asked by the judge how she felt after reading the book, she said: 'I was devastated. 'It made me feel quite desperate because of the injustice I felt towards my daughter and our family as a whole. 'It was very painful to read and I felt sad for Madeleine. I also felt anxious and fearful because of the damage I felt it was doing in Portugal.' She went on to accuse Amaral, thrown off the investigation in 2007 for criticising British police, of 'consistently smearing' them. She also claimed they feared the book may have stopped people coming forward with information about their daughter's whereabouts.

A trusted son has been jailed for stealing more than \u00a350,000 from his dying mother, blowing the cash on gambling, a holiday and cinema tickets. When pensioner Margaret Rylance realised her money appeared to be going missing from her bank account, her concerns were put down to her having Alzheimer's disease. But in reality her son David Rylance, 47, had been slowly siphoning the money away, spending it on luxuries for himself as well as everyday living costs. A \u00a313,000 fee to move his mother, from South Shields, into a care home in January 2013 had to be paid by the council because her bank balance had been diminished by her son's spending. Newcastle Crown Court heard one of Mrs Rylance's accounts held just \u00a31,000 at the time of her death in July 2013. Her son continued to access the cash until the balance was zero. Rylance, also of South Shields, admitted theft and fraud involving \u00a352,000 and was jailed for two years and three months. Judge Penny Moreland told him: 'Your mother had had anxieties in the last years of her life that her money was going missing but, because of her illness, that was not taken seriously. 'This was a gross breach of trust. It is hard to imagine someone more vulnerable than an elderly lady with Alzheimer's, unable to protect herself from you accessing her accounts and taking what you wanted. 'You simply treated her money as your own.' The court heard Rylance was in charge of an appointee account set up at Lloyds Bank, which held his mother's cash after her Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2009. Prosecutor Tim Gittins told the court: 'It is clear, very soon after he opened the account, he began to use the monies for his own purposes.' Rylance would transfer large sums of cash from the account into his own, which he used for online gambling, Mr Gittins said. Newcastle Crown Court (pictured) heard one of Mrs Rylance's accounts held just \u00a31,000 at the time of her death in July 2013 . He would also place bets on gambling sites directly from the appointee account. 'The amounts of monies varied from a couple of hundred pounds to \u00a38,000 in one particular month in June 2010,' Mr Gittins added. 'There were, in fact, substantial wins over that period as well.' The court heard Rylance also had access to his mother's regular banks accounts, which he also stole from. Mr Gittins said the crimes had a devastating impact on Rylance's sister Lesley Wilson. The prosecutor said: '[Ms Wilson] said it was a physical blow to find out the truth of it. 'She describes her mother and father had very little when they started out and had built up what they had by working very hard.

The fort, which was found on top of the Dunnicaer sea stack close to Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, appears to have been built with stone imported from elsewhere in the country.

That will be added to the 27-month prison sentence he is already serving for possession of knives. Revins' tattoos were also his downfall last year when he walked into a branch of Barclays in Hanley, Staffordshire, armed with a large bread knife. Bank staff asked him to leave after he was muttering about how he was 'going to do' someone. He then lifted his top and pulled the knife from the front of his trousers. Revins put the blade back into his trousers and left the bank but was arrested 20 minutes later after staff identified him by his distinctive tattoos. Police seized a large kitchen knife with an eight-inch blade. Two days later, while on bail, Revins was stopped again, and found to be carrying a bayonet and a large carving knife. Police arrested him again. At yesterday's hearing, prosecutor Joanne Barker told Judge Paul Glenn that Revins was caught by undercover police alongside fellow drug dealer Nathan Davenport, 37.

The unnamed 20-year-old woman was driving on the I-25 in Weld County, north of Denver, when her window shattered and she felt bleeding from both sides of her neck. In a chilling 911 call from around 11pm Wednesday night, she told operators: 'I'm on the highway right now and somebody just hit me and I'm bleeding from my neck and I'm scared. 'I don't know if they hit me or if they threw something out the window... my neck hurts. I think there's glass in my neck.' Scroll down for video . Highway shooting: A bullet passed clean through a woman's neck after she was shot at by an unknown gunman driving down the I-25 highway north of Denver, Colorado . She was taken to hospital where surgeons found she had been shot clean through the neck. Miraculously, the bullet did not damage the woman's airway or sever any major blood vessels. She is expected to recover, according to 7News Denver. The woman, from the nearby town of Milliken, said that she had seen a dark SUV just before her window shattered and she felt the gunshot wound. Deputies from the Weld County Sheriff's Office have said that the shooting may be linked to other unexplained reports of shattered windows on highways in northern Colorado. Hours before the woman was shot, a man's rear window was shattered as he drove on the nearby I-76 after he heard a 'pop' sound which could have been gunfire. The previous day a prison van transporting inmates along the I-25 had its window shattered by an unidentified 'projectile', the Coloradoan reported. Another incident came on Thursday, when a man's driver-side window shattered as he drove down a nearby county road during the daytime. Nobody was injured in any of the other incidents. Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith said drivers should be aware and report suspicious behavior as deputies investigate. 'There's a lot more leg work that needs to be done on this case,' Smith said. 'It's hard because at this point we have no indication that this person was targeted by a person looking for her.' Deputies were yesterday pictured investigating an abandoned black SUV on I-25, which had shattered rear windows.

+{"article": "We all know the time-consuming hassle of having to hoover the house, so it is perhaps no surprise to find that sailors on board this Russian aircraft carrier also got bored of sweeping the decks. What is perhaps more surprising is their solution to the problem, which involved strapping an old jet engine to the front of a tractor, and using the contraption as a huge leaf-blower. The crew of the Admiral Kuznetsov, Russia's largest warship, came up with the novel idea to help keep the deck clear of debris which poses a major risk to jet planes taking off and landing. Russian sailors on board the Admiral Kuznetsov, the country's largest aircraft carrier, have come up with an inegnious way of cleaning the decks, by strapping an old MiG-15 engine to the front of a tractor . Debris on carrier decks can potentially get sucked into jet engines, so crew are usually required to do manual sweeps of the deck, but the crew of the Kuznetsov decided to do away with that bother . Even a single stray nut or bolt, if sucked into one of the fighter plane's engines, could spell disaster for the pilot, and cause millions of dollars worth of damage. Usually crew members are forced to go around manually checking for stray objects, using sweeper vehicles to help tidy them up. But with 14,700sq ft of deck space to check and recheck every single day, the crew of the Kuznetsov decided to do away with that bother, and took a more direct approach. According to blog Foxtrot Alpha, the sailors have attached an old MiG-15 engine to the front of a tractor, before fitting the front end with a diffuser, spreading the air out over the ship's deck. The vehicle is then driven up and down the 1,000ft-long deck, blowing all debris overboard. The massive Kuznetsov is the jewel in President Putin's military fleet, carrying a total of 18 fighter jets and 17 anti-submarine helicopters. The ingenious crew members fitted the old MiG engine with a diffuser, spreading the air out over the deck, and use the contraption like an enormous leaf blower, sending debris overboard . The Kuznetsov has a deck spanning 14,700sqft, so rather than search the entire thing by hand, Russian sailors built themselves a giant leaf-blowing machine instead . Bristling with anti-aircraft cannons, rocket batteries, gatling guns and underwater missiles, it weighs in at 43,000 tons and carries 1,690 crew. However, that is nothing compared to the US Nimitz Class aircraft carriers, the tenth and last of which, the George HW Bush, was commissioned in 2009. The ship weighs 102,000 tons, is powered by two on board nuclear reactors and is capable of carrying almost 6,000 crew and air company who pilot its 90 aircraft and helicopters. The UK's largest carrier in the HMS Queen Elizabeth, weighing in at 65,00 tonnes, it carries 40 jets and helicopters, along with 1,600 crew.

He was arrested for possession of cocaine at the Wet Republic pool at the MGM Grand (above) Stoll was previously in the news for non-sports related reasons back in 2013 when he was rushed to the hospital after having a seizure at his home in Hermosa Beach, California during the offseason, with the Kings later saying they did not know what caused the incident. Stoll, who will make a cameo in the upcoming film version of the popular HBO show Entourage, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and was listed as having a hearing on Saturday after posting $5,000 bail. The charges include possession of Class 1, 2, 3 and 4 controlled substances, including cocaine and ecstasy. Michael Pariente, a Las Vegas criminal defense lawyer, says that Stoll will likely be offered a plea deal as a first time offender. Speaking with TSN, he said; 'It's pretty much a slap on the wrist. Even if he was going to represent himself they'd make him an offer like this.' This would include a $1,000 fee, an online drug awareness course, and possibly community service.

The shape of the face is much more important than the lines and folds.

Chris Lewis, 68, has brought the unusual court case against 48-year-old former wife Nicola over the child he helped raise as his own for 17 years. In court documents he claims Mrs Lewis had sex with another man only a few months into their marriage, but did not tell him. She had a child \u2013 Charlie, now 19 \u2013 as a result but led him to believe the boy was his, he argues. Suing ex-wife: Chris Lewis, 68 (left) has accused his former partner Nicola, 48 (right) of duping him about the paternity of her son Charlie . DNA tests now prove that Charlie is not his biological son, he says, and as a result of the deception he suffered loss and damages \u2013 and wants compensation totalling \u00a3322,400. The claim, made in documents before the High Court in London, says that the pair married in October 1994 and that Mrs Lewis gave birth to Charlie in March 1996. The couple separated in May 1999. Although Charlie subsequently lived with his mother, Mr Lewis says he \u2018would see him regularly and make financial contributions towards his maintenance and advancement\u2019. He claims that his ex-wife continued to lead him to believe that he was the boy\u2019s biological father and he was recorded as such on the birth certificate. He was discussed as being the father in the course of the couple\u2019s divorce, with Mrs Lewis signing \u2018statements of truth maintaining that was the case\u2019. Everything changed in April 2013, however, shortly after Charlie\u2019s 17th birthday, when both he and Mr Lewis had DNA tests. They are said to have proven beyond doubt that Mr Lewis was not the boy\u2019s father. The court documents claim that Mrs Lewis\u2019s repeated assertions that her ex-husband was the father of her child \u2018were made fraudulently\u2019 with her \u2018knowing them to be false or not caring whether they were true or false\u2019. Mr Lewis\u2019s lawyers say that Mrs Lewis \u2018had sexual intercourse with David Alderson or an unknown person which resulted in the conception of Charlie in or around May or June 1995\u2019. High-profile contract: Mr Lewis's company, Chris Lewis Media, provided coverage of the Equestrian events at the London Olympics and the TV producer brought Charlie to the venue during the games . They add: \u2018On no occasion during the parties\u2019 marriage did Mrs Lewis inform Mr Lewis that she had had sexual intercourse with another person/persons. \u2018She knew that Mr Lewis was not the biological father of Charlie, or was reckless as to whether he was the biological father, or did not believe he was the biological father. \u2018By reason of her deceit and misrepresentations, Mr Lewis has suffered loss and damage, and claims damages plus interest.\u2019 Mr Lewis was for decades one of the BBC\u2019s leading sports producers, masterminding footage of every Olympic Games since 1972 as well as working on coverage of ten football World Cups.

A jury decided in 2004 that he should be put to death, and unsuccessful appeals since then have focused on whether Sprouse was mentally ill at the time of the slayings in 2002 and should be spared the death penalty. No new appeals are pending as Sprouse's lethal injection scheduled for Thursday evening approaches. He would be the fifth inmate executed this year in Texas, the nation's most active death penalty state. Death row: Kent Sprouse gunned down Ferris Police Officer Marty Steinfeldt, 28, at a gas station outside of Dallas before also shooting dead a customer, Pedro Moreno, 38, in 2002 . Sprouse was convicted of the death of Ferris Police Officer Harry Marvin 'Marty' Steinfeldt III, who was shot outside the Ferris Food Mart about 20 miles south of Dallas. Steinfeldt, 28, was responding to a 911 call about a customer shot outside the store. Witnesses said Sprouse carried a shotgun into the store the afternoon of Oct. 6, 2002, while he made a purchase and then walked outside and fired toward two men at a pay phone. He went to his car and appeared to have some trouble with it, then shot and killed a customer, Pedro Moreno, 38, who was pumping gas nearby. As Steinfeldt drove up, he was met with gunfire and hit twice under the arm where his vest did not protect him. He managed to fire 17 shots and wound Sprouse in the chest, leg and hand. Court records indicate that Sprouse told an officer who accompanied him to a hospital that he believed Moreno was an undercover officer, so he shot him.

But the parole board at Corcoran State Prison, where Hooker is incarcerated, denied the request and have stated the inmate won't get another hearing for 15 years. Luis Patino, a spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said Hooker had been given the longest delay period until his next parole hearing as the board found he was 'far from suitable' for being released.

At other times she would be forced into another, coffin-like box under Hooker and his wife Janice's bed, or tied to a rack. The specially-made torture device caused permanent damage to her back and one shoulder.

Mortgage broker Andrew Montlake, of Coreco, said: \u2018The breaking of the 2 per cent barrier for a five-year fix is a watershed moment and one many thought would never be seen in the UK. \u2018Other lenders will now look to compete, but there is only so low they can go before their profit margins start to become too squeezed. \u2018The current crop of low fixed rates could help to spur more borrowers into action as they lock in before these rates disappear.\u2019 HSBC already had one of the lowest five-year fixes on the market at 2.19 per cent, but decided to under-cut itself to try to steal more customers from its rivals. The only cheaper deal was offered by TSB at 2.09 per cent, but it was available only on loans over \u00a3200,000 and for those remortgaging, and carried a fee of \u00a31,995. With the HSBC rate cut from 2.19 per cent to 1.99 per cent, a homeowner borrowing \u00a3200,000 over a 25-year term would save more than \u00a31,100 during the five-year deal.

And one of the companies in the 12 Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextStep) says they have an engine that could get humans to Mars in just 39 days. Scroll down for video . Nasa has selected a variety of companies to work on projects to create advanced space technologies, including a faster method of propulsion known as Vasimr (illustrated), which could apparently get to Mars in a matter of weeks, not months . The Vasimr engine - which uses plasma as a propellant - is being developed by the Ad Astra Rocket company in Texas. Their engine shot to fame a few years ago when it was revealed that it could drastically reduce the journey time to Mars from months to weeks - although it may require a nuclear power source. And following the successful test of a prototype in 2013, it seems Nasa is now considering it for use on a future mission to Mars. Short for Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket, Vasimr works with plasma, an electrically charged gas that can be heated to extreme temperatures by radio waves and controlled and guided by strong magnetic fields. The magnetic field also insulates nearby structures so exhaust temperatures well beyond the melting point of materials can be achieved. In rocket propulsion, the higher the temperature of the exhaust gases, the higher their velocity and the higher the fuel efficiency. Plasma rockets feature exhaust velocities far above those achievable by their chemical cousins, so their fuel consumption is extremely low. \u2018We are thrilled by this announcement and proud to be joining forces with Nasa in the final steps of the technology maturation,\u2019 said Dr Franklin Chang Diaz, Ad Astra\u2019s Chairman and CEO, in a statement. \u2018We look forward to a very successful partnership as we jointly advance the technology to flight readiness.\u2019 Over three years, Nasa will give the company about \u00a36.8 million ($10 million) to get the engine almost ready to fly in space. This will be achieved with a demonstration of their new prototype, the VX-200-SS, which will be able to fire continuously for more than 100 hours. A previous test in 2013 saw Ad Astra complete 10,000 successful high power firings of a Vasimr prototype. However, this involved short duration bursts for less than a minute.

The U.S. spends $4billion (\u00a32.7billion) a year on unnecessary medical costs due to mammograms generating false alarms and on treatment for breast tumors unlikely to cause problems, a new report has revealed. The study, published in the Health Affairs journal on Monday, has estimated the figure for women aged 40 to 59. It is made up of $2.8bn resulting from false-positive mammograms and another $1.2bn attributed to breast cancer overdiagnosis -treatment of tumors that grow slowly or not at all and are unlikely to develop into life-threatening disease. Breast cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer among American women, claiming nearly 41,000 lives a year. Annual mammograms starting at 40 years old have long been considered standard for preventive care, because cancer is easier to treat if detected early. But recently there has been disagreement about regular screening for women in their 40s. Study authors Mei-Sing Ong, a research fellow at Boston Children's Hospital, and Kenneth Mandl, a professor at Harvard Medical School, say their findings indicate that the cost of breast cancer overtreatment appears to be much higher than previously estimated. Their $4bn figure is the midpoint of a range that depends upon assumptions about the rates of false-positive mammograms and breast cancer overdiagnosis. Apart from the financial cost of screening tests and treatment, false positives and overdiagnosis expose women to risks from additional medical procedures, not to mention psychological distress. It is not uncommon for mammograms to turn up some apparent abnormality that has to be resolved with more imaging tests or a biopsy. 'We're hoping that the financial cost of this problem will help cast into greater relief the human cost,' said Mandl. 'The two messages together are powerful. The fact that this is not only a problem, but a very costly problem we hope will accelerate the attempts to try to fix the screening practices.' But another expert defended those practices, and called the study one-sided. 'There was no attempt to balance the costs with the benefits,' said Richard Wender, who heads prevention, detection and patient-support efforts at the American Cancer Society. 'I strongly feel that every study that looks at the downsides of any screening test has to be balanced with the benefits.' The American Cancer Society recommends yearly mammograms for women starting at 40, while a government advisory group - the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force - recommends that regular screening begins at 50. The study found that women aged 40 and 49 were more likely to have a false-positive mammogram, compared to women in their 50s.

Carrick made his England debut against Mexico in May 2001 as a teenager with West Ham United and if \u2013 as now seems likely \u2013 he carries through to Euro 2016, he will be the first non-goalkeeper since the legendary Sir Stanley to have an international career spanning more than 15 years. Matthews won his 54 England caps over a 23-year period between 1934 and 1957, interrupted of course by the Second World War. Michael Carrick's appearance for England against Italy on Tuesday night keeps him in the longest-serving list .

Bobby Moore (1962-73) 11 yrs, 178 days . Gary Lineker (1984-1992) 8 yrs, 22 days . Carrick was hailed by Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney as 'the best player on the pitch by a mile' after the 33-year-old was introduced as a half-time substitute in Turin and helped Roy Hodgson's men fight back to earn a 1-1 draw. His longevity already surpasses that of great names like Sir Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, David Beckham and Gary Lineker and if he continues to play in the next European Championship he will overtake Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard too. The only player to have had a longer career since Matthews is goalkeeper Peter Shilton who played for England between 1971 and 1990. It also begs the question why Carrick, who has won four Premier League titles and the Champions League with Manchester United, has been used so sparingly by his country at international tournaments. He played once at the 2006 World Cup in a 1-0 victory against Ecuador, was in the squad but never played by Fabio Capello in the disastrous 2010 campaign in South Africa, and wasn't even selected by Roy Hodgson last year in Brazil, even though England's perennial problem has been keeping the ball. With Rooney now captain and clearly a huge fan of the midfielder, it seems unlikely Carrick will be overlooked again and is now finally getting the recognition he deserves. The 33-year-old may still have a few years left but remains a long way off Sir Stanley's record .

In a new article published on her website, the 29-year-old editor reveals what her changing sizes taught her about being comfortable in her own skin and how being thinner did not equal being happier - though she admits that this is only something she has recently started coming to terms with.

Peter Barnett, 43, is said to have caused a loss of \u00a323,000 to Chiltern Railways over a two-and-a-half year period. He travelled from his Oxfordshire home to London Marylebone but pretended to have only gone from Wembley, in north west London. Peter Barnett, 43, is said to have caused a loss of \u00a323,000 to Chiltern Railways over two-and-a-half years . Barnett admits six counts of fraud by false representation between April 2012 and November last year . The Australian-born lawyer argues that he only dodged up to \u00a39,714.40 in fares, claiming the amount should be based on the cost of a weekly ticket, and take into account annual leave. But prosecutor Malachy Pakenham told Westminster Magistrates' Court: 'If it is accepted that the loss was \u00a323,000, this defendant would be convicted of the biggest rail evasion case that has come to the court in the United Kingdom. 'The Crown have reached that figure by a number of rail staff calculating it. 'The train company are experts, not me or my friend and they have calculated it on a basis that if someone commits a fraud like this defendant has committed, you are not allowed to calculate it on the basis of a weekly ticket, you calculate it on a full single fare, of the return for the day, each and every day this defendant travelled over the period without a full price rail ticket'.

Barnett claimed to have travelled from Wembley, in North West London, instead of Thame, Oxfordshire . The scam began to unravel for Barnett when he was stopped by a ticket inspector at Marylebone last November. The Rhodes scholar claimed to have travelled from Wembley, instead of Thame, Oxfordshire, where he and his wife live in a \u00a3550,000 five-bedroom detached home. Barnett was sent to the excess fares window but another member of staff became suspicious and decided to contact his supervisor. When he turned his back Barnett ran away, but was apparently overcome with guilt and confessed the next day. An investigation was carried out by British Transport Police, which found the lawyer had dodged fares since April 2012. The lawyer was cautioned for an identical offence in 2010 but continued to break the law, despite his prestigious reputation as the founder of an African children's charity and director of leading think-tank, the Legatum Institute Foundation, aimed at 'promoting prosperity'.

Bosch, striking the ball into a strong wind, landed a 55-metre penalty in the final act of the last eight showdown against Racing Metro to snatch a 12-11 victory at the Stade Yves-Du-Manoir. It completed a scarcely believable win given Saracens had been battered for most of the match only to display remarkable tenacity and set up a semi-final appointment with Clermont in St Etienne in two weeks. Marcelo Bosch kicks the winning penalty as Saracens beat Racing Metro 12-11 . Bosch is mobbed by his team-mates after scoring the kick that won his team the game . Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall admitted he was surprised to see Bosch taking the penalty . 'With kicks like this you're either the hero of the day or the bad guy, so I'm happy that it went my way. I just stayed relaxed and fortunately it went through the posts,' Bosch, 31, said. 'Sometimes they ask me if I'm keen to take the long-range kicks and because of the wind it was not a good distance for the other kickers. I said 'why not? I can take it' and the rest is history. 'The last time I did a kick like that was when I was 21 and playing for an amateur club in Argentina. It was from more or less the same range against our classico rivals. 'It was a great memory for me, but it was a long time ago. I tried to be as relaxed as possible because we had the wind in our face and I didn't want to force it. 'It was the last minute of the game so I was tired and tried not to think about what it represented.' Bosch also executed a try-saving tackle on Racing wing Juan Imhoff when all his Argentina team-mate had to do was fall over the line for a potentially decisive final-quarter try. 'Juan is a real player. He's like a striker - always smelling the goal. I followed him and fortunately stopped him from scoring at the end,' Bosch said. Until Bosch delivered the knockout blow - referee Nigel Owens awarded the penalty with 10 seconds left on the clock - a full blooded quarter-final that was often a poor spectacle appeared to be destined for a home win. Saracens fly-half Charlie Hodgson kicked one penalty and full-back Alex Goode supplied six points to keep the match favourites in sight. Two second-half penalties from scrum-half Maxime Machenaud, who also crossed for the game's solitary try in the 27th minute, placed Racing in control that the Parisians only relinquished as Owens was preparing to blow for full time. 'I was surprised to see it was Bosch taking it because I though it was in Alex Goode's range,' Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said. 'But the wind was very strong, so it was Bosch's range. He had the nerve and balls to say he wanted", "summary": "Marcelo Bosch secured a 12-11 win for Saracens against Racing Metro . Saracens struggled for most of the Champions Cup quarter-final .

Rosberg has again found himself playing second fiddle to Hamilton so far this season, which has led to many questioning his character and ability. Although Rosberg could only finish third behind Hamilton and Ferrari star Kimi Raikkonen at the Bahrain International Circuit, he proved over the course of the race he still has what it takes. Nico Rosberg duels for position with the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel during Sunday's race in Bahrain . Lewis Hamilton sprays Rosberg with champagne after the Briton secured his third win in four races this term . 1. Lewis Hamilton (Britain) Mercedes 93 . 2. Nico Rosberg (Germany) Mercedes 66 . 3. Sebastian Vettel (Germany) Ferrari 65 . 4. Kimi Raikkonen (Finland) Ferrari 42 . Rosberg conjured three superb overtaking manoeuvres, one on Raikkonen and two on the Finn's Ferrari team-mate Sebastian Vettel. A delighted Wolff said: 'Everybody who ever doubted Nico saw Nico at his best, fighting hard and overtaking. 'We are four races into the season and there are another 15 left, so I have no doubt after his driving in Bahrain, which was exceptional, we will have a very strong Nico bouncing back in Barcelona (for the Spanish Grand Prix).' Rosberg is already 27 points adrift of Mercedes team-mate Hamilton in the battle for this season's title . Rosberg dices with Kimi Raikkonen . Asked as to what is required of Rosberg to overcome an in-form Hamilton, Wolff replied: 'To qualify on pole and control the race from there. 'We saw that Lewis qualifying on pole, running away and being in control of the race was similar to what we had in China. He was the key to scoring maximum points.' A concern for Wolff, however, is the brake failures of Hamilton and Rosberg over the final two laps. For Rosberg, in particular, the brake system in his car failed on the penultimate lap, allowing a charging Raikkonen an easy pass, although it is likely the Finn's pace at that stage would have resulted in him claiming second anyway. As for Hamilton, his brakes gave way on the final lap, but the 30-year-old was able to cross the line 3.3 seconds ahead of Raikkonen. 'We must be happy with one and three, no doubt about it,' added Wolff. 'But Nico losing second place because of a brake failure is a bit of a pity. 'We saw very hot brakes on Nico's car in traffic following Sebastian (Vettel) with lots of hard braking. We monitored that, but with the backmarkers and the lapping cars those brake temperatures went through the roof and we had a brake-by-wire failure on both cars in the same corner - Lewis on the last lap, Nico on the penultimate lap. 'Leading into the last lap it was under hard braking on the straight the temperatures went sky high. When that happens the brake-by-wire switches into a conventional system and then you are without weapons to defend.'", "summary": "Nico Rosberg fought his way past Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel .

It comes at the request of some of the victims' families, said officials, with officers having been previously unable to identify the individuals in the images.

An independent review would help to ensure that NHS CEO salaries are fair. \u2018It is important that we appoint high quality chief executives in NHS Trusts and their focus should always be on standards of patient care.

Stewart Brand, president of the Long Now Foundation and editor of the Whole Earth Catalogue, believes the focus on widespread extinctions may actually be harmful. Instead he argues it is highly unlikely that the planet is facing a sixth mass extinction as many threatened species are recovering. This chart shows the increase in marine biodiversity from the fossil record and the five mass extinction events . His views are likely to be controversial with conservationists who have been warning that human activities risk killing off a large proportion of species on Earth in an event to rival the extinction of the dinosaurs. Mr Brand, who campaigns for long term solutions to the world's problems rather than short term policy decisions, said that the rate of discovery of new species was currently outstripping the loss of species to extinction. 1.

Writing for Aeon, he said: 'Viewing every conservation issue through the lens of extinction threat is simplistic and usually irrelevant. 'Worse, it introduces an emotional charge that makes the problem seem cosmic and overwhelming rather than local and solvable.' Instead he argues that the trends for conservation are actually 'looking bright' as depleted ecosystems are being enriched and damage in others is slowing. He said: 'The five historic mass extinctions eliminated 70 per cent or more of all species in a relatively short time. That is not going on now.' Mr Brand points to recent research by the ecologist Mark Costello at the University of Auckland who found that the number of new species being recorded was now at around 18,000 a year. They said that the current extinction rate of one per cent of species per decade was far lower than the discovery rate of three per cent per decade. Fossil records also indicate that biodiversity in the world has been increasing for the past 200 million years and is now at its highest level ever. The black rhino, pictured, was considered to be one of the most endangered species in the world and intensive efforts have been made to help conserve the species and its numbers are slowly beginning to rise again . Major efforts to remove rats from Codfish Island in New Zealand has allowed the kakapo (above) to recover . Mr Brand also points to the efforts that have taken place on many islands around the world - where species are most vulnerable to extinction.

Russell was brought before the jury as a defense witness - and told how Tamerlan met her daughter and got her pregnant before gradually becoming more radical in her views. Russell told jurors she drifted from her daughter as a result of the relationship - and that at some point was shocked to find her wearing the veil and a new convert to her husband's faith. Though Russell admitted that Katherine seemed to take on the religion of her own volition - and still upholds it - her testimony indicated that he was the cause and she considered the move a sacrifice for him. At one point she revealed that Tamerlan, who was originally unemployed and unmotivated, became so zealous in his faith that he tried to force literature on her, too, and encourage her to convert. She told jurors that she has an Islam For Dummies book on her shelf at home, but couldn't remember who gave it to her.

According to police, Kelly had filed for divorce after 24 years of marriage on June 27, 2013 \u2014 the day she disappeared from her Charlestown, New Hampshire, home and her body was later found. The jury rejected a first-degree murder charge but found him guilty of second-degree murder for reckless conduct that showed 'extreme indifference to the value of human life.'

But it was opposed by the Beverly Hills brand on the grounds that people could confuse the logo with their own and the case was eventually taken to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. While it allowed the logo on whips, harnesses and saddlery, which discerning customers were unlikely to get confused, it ruled against the Berkshire club on applications for the other items. It said: 'It is true that the polo player is facing left and holding his mallet upright, while the earlier marks the polo player is facing right and holding his mallet ready to strike the ball. 'However, those slight differences are not sufficient enough to reduce significantly the similarity deriving from the fact that both the signs at issue display the figure of a polo player astride a galloping horse,' The Times reports.

He was originally ruled incompetent in 2010, but he was restored to competency after being treated at Connecticut Valley Hospital. A new evaluation was ruled after a public defender filed a motion asking for the court to terminate Wang's self-representation . The ruling came after two mental health experts testified that Wang is unable to rationally understand criminal proceedings or assist in his defense, according to The Hartford Courant. Wang, a father of three, is charged with murder in the shooting of Dr. Vajinder Toor, 34, and shooting but missing Toor's then-pregnant wife outside the couple's Branford, Connecticut, home in April 2010. Police say the shooting stemmed from a dispute the men had two years earlier while working together at a New York City hospital.

Glitzy: Davies installed a shiny mosaic bath in the house, and has now admitted breaking planning laws . He also put in inappropriate kitchen fittings and replaced the Grade II-listed house's timber windows with modern ones. Davies, 60, initially denied five charges under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. However, shortly before his trial was scheduled to start at Newport Crown Court he pleaded guilty to illegally altering Llanwenarth House, near Abergavenny in Monmouthshire. Davies' lawyer George Carter-Stephenson QC said: 'My client accepts that he has got himself into a very difficult position by fighting this case.

The run beat last week's speeds of 366mph (590kph), which in turn beat the train's previous 12-year record of 361mph (581km/h). Scroll down for video . The seven-car Maglev (pictured) - short for 'magnetic levitation' - hit a top speed of 375mph (603 km/h) and travelled for almost 11 seconds at speeds above 373mph (600km/h) during a run near Mount Fuji. It beat last week's speeds of 366mph (590kph), which in turn beat the train's previous record of 361mph (581km/h) The train is able to go this fast because it makes use of a charge to lift and move it above a guideway. It hovers four inches (10cm) above the tracks and is propelled by electrically charged magnets. The technology promises a ride that's smoother, quieter and almost twice as fast as traditional high-speed rail. Owner Central Japan Railway plans to have a train in service in 2027 to join Tokyo and the central city of Nagoya - a distance of 177 miles (286km). The speeds, however, won't be as high when the new line between Tokyo and Nagoya comes into service. Maglev trains use magnets to lift the carriages above the track. This eliminates the need for wheels and therefore reduces friction, providing a faster and quieter service. Acceleration and deceleration far exceeds that of conventional trains. And maglev also makes for much smoother journeys. Right now speeds are limited at up to 400 kilometres (250 miles) per hour due to the excessive air resistance encountered at these speeds. But vacuum tube designs could allow them to travel over seven times faster in the future. According to engineers, the trains will travel at 314mph (505km/h) - but this will still cut the journey time for the journey by more than half. For comparison, the UK's HS2 rail line will run at 224mph (360km/h). By 2045, Maglev trains are expected to link Tokyo and Osaka in just 67 minutes, slashing the journey time in half. The Maglev trains are expected to eventually consist of 16 carriages and carry up to 1,000 passengers at a time. Japan is well-established as the world leader in high-speed trains, having developed the first 'bullet train' in 1964. It is now hoping to bring the technology to the US and has outlined plans for a line between Washington and Baltimore, which will cut travel times between the cities to just 15 minutes. Maglev was first proposed as a method to propel trains as far back as the mid 20th century. The first commercial maglev train to come into operation was a relatively low-speed shuttle at Birmingham International Airport in 1984. This travelled at a rather mundane 26mph (42km/hr).

It might just have been the most expensive can of Coke ever. For a massive computer glitch that halted trading in stock exchanges around the world yesterday is being blamed on a spilt fizzy drink. Dealing across Europe and Asia was thrown into chaos by the crash of the server at Bloomberg's offices in the City of London. Bloomberg's computer system is the world's largest dealing platform and is used by most banks and trading floors. More than 300,000 screens suddenly went offline for several hours just after the start of trading, leaving brokers unable to work. Trillions of pounds of trading had to be stopped or diverted and the Government's attempts to sell \u00a33billion of bonds, known as gilts, on the debt markets had to be delayed for several hours until the problem was fixed. Bloomberg blamed a 'combination of hardware and software failures in the network' for the outage, which was first reported at around 8.20am and lasted into the afternoon. But reports from inside the company suggested that a spilled can of Coke in one of the server rooms had been responsible for knocking out systems across two continents. The UK's Debt Management Office had to delay the \u00a33billion sale of Government bonds because the blackout meant potential investors did not have access to the information they needed to make a deal. A DMO spokesman said the delay was 'due to ongoing technical issues with the third party platform' but the sale eventually went ahead. Stock market sources said it was highly unusual for a sale of debt to be delayed by a technical issue. David Buik at broker Panmure Gordon said it was regrettable that the auction had been delayed but would not have any long term consequences for the Government. Essential to traders: Bloomberg's computer system is the world's largest dealing platform and is used by most banks and trading floors. Today's glitch (pictured above) caused chaos across Europe and Asia . The outage saw screens around the world display a message saying: '*** CONNECTION STATUS *** Connecting...' Bloomberg, founded by the US billionaire Michael Bloomberg, makes more than \u00a36billion a year from leasing its hi-tech software to banks and trading floorsacross the world.

Events at Hampden on Sunday forced him to revise his opinion. In the aftermath of a contentious Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, the Dutchman found sleep elusive. The claims of referee Steven McLean and his five assistants that they failed to see the handball by Inverness player Josh Meekings which denied Celtic a penalty, a red card, possibly even a crack at the Treble, struck many at Parkhead as dubious. So dubious they fired off a letter seeking clarification from the SFA. Celtic centre back Virgil van Dijk leaves field following his side's 3-2 to Inverness in the Scottish Cup semi-final . For van Dijk, the collective burst of myopia was remarkable. A greater lapse on a wider scale than the red card he received from Slovakian official Ivan Kruzliak in the last 32 of the Champions League in February; a decision he described at the time as the worst he had experienced. Resting his arms on a table in a Glasgow hotel after being shortlisted for the PFA Scotland player of the year award, the Dutchman said of the Meekings flashpoint: 'Yeah I saw it. I think everybody in the stadium saw everything. It' s very strange that the right decision wasn't made. 'I was maybe near the halfway line. Even in the stands you could see it.

The details of where and how the West-Sussex born model and mistress of Rossetti died remained a mystery for years until her biographer recently tracked her down through hospital records. They revealed the orange-haired beauty - whose face graced many of her lover's paintings - died in the Sussex county asylum in poverty and suffering from clear symptoms of dementia. Rossetti's famous painting Aurelia 'Fazio's Mistress' (pictured) was a portrait of his muse Fanny Cornforth . Fair Rosamund, painted in 1861 (left), and 1886's Lady Lilith (right) also used Cornforth as the model . The records revealed she died at the Graylingwell Hospital on February 24, 1909, at the age of 74. At the time of her death, she was suffering from 'senile mania, confusion, weak-mindedness and an inability to sustain a rational conversation, a poor memory and sleeplessness', The Guardian reported. Born Sarah Cox in 1835, she met Rossetti in 1958 and was considered one of his 'stunners' - a reference to the women he kept in his company as lovers and models. She went on to pose for at least 60 of his artworks. Art historian Kirsty Stonell Walker used the records from Graylingwell Hospital in Chichester, now stored at the West Sussex records office, to track down her resting site and lay flowers at her unmarked grave. Ms Stonell Walker told The Guardian: 'It is a very sad story, but the hospital was not a terrible place, it actually had a very progressive approach towards mental illness. 'She was buried with a few other people, but not exactly in a pauper's grave.' Rossetti was the son of Italian scholar Gabriele Pasquale Giuseppe Rossetti and his wife Frances Polidori. He was born in London in 1828 and is known for his painting, illustrating, translating and poetry. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with contemporaries William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. His most famous paintings include Beata Beatrix, The Girlhood of Mary Virgin, How They Met Themselves. Dante Gabriel Rossetti was one of the most well-known founding members of the Pre-Raphelites group . The Pre-Raphelites were a group of English artists who formed a 'brotherhood' in 1848, dedicated to creating work that rejected the mannered approach adopted by Raphael and other Renaissance painters. Believing Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo had proven a corrupting influence on art, they wanted to return to the intense colour and detailed compositions that characterised 15th century Italian art.

+{"article": "The traditional cookie cutter wedding no longer exists - new reports suggest Brits are ditching tradition in favour of alternative practices when it comes to getting hitched. Two of the biggest changes are the fact that religious services have fallen out of favour and that brides are opting for bold colour schemes for their big day. A new study, which has tracked the decisions of brides and grooms over the past five years interviewed 1,893 newlyweds and compared them to answers they have collated since 2010. Scroll down for video . A new study has revealed the changing habits of British weddings. When it comes to honeymooning 18 per cent of us are now choosing to holiday in the UK compared to 8 per cent five years ago . The study showed that couples are shunning religious ceremonies when it comes to their big day with services falling from 40 per cent to 35 in the past five years. Registry offices have seen an increase in bookings by two thirds, going from three per cent to nine per cent since 2010, and 50 per cent of bride and grooms have opted for some form of civil ceremony when getting hitched. Tradition seems to be out of the window when it comes to paying the bill. In 2014, just seven per cent of UK couples allowed the bride's parents to pay the entire bill, down from nine per cent in 2010, while over a third of married couples in the UK (31.4 per cent) covered their entire wedding bill themselves. The trend for cupcakes is falling out of favour sinking from appearing at 15 per cent of weddings to just 10 per cent, however cheese towers are on the up by three per cent since 2011 . The study by hitched.co.uk also showed that spending on weddings as a whole is increasing, up by 3.4 per cent year on year, outpacing the economic growth of 2.8 per cent. The average cost of a wedding is now \u00a316,020 (compared to \u00a315,494.54 in 2013). Forking out for our own weddings seems to be having a knock on effect as lavish honeymoons are less popular than they once were. Newlyweds are now choosing to honeymoon closer to home, with 18 per cent opting for a vacation in the UK, compared to eight per cent just five years ago. 32 per cent choose Europe, an increase of 11 per cent in five years, while honeymoon visits to the rest of the world has plummeted from 71 per cent to 50. It seems that many are also less keen to jet off immediately, with just 39 per cent of us going on our honeymoon within two days of the wedding, compared to 47 per cent in 2010.

Engineers developed the Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) and will attempt to beat the women's arm-powered speed record in Nevada later this year. It will be piloted and powered by paracyclist Liz McTernan and will need to travel in excess of 21.39 miles per hour (34.42 km/h) over 656ft (200-metres) to beat the record. Engineers have developed a Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) (pictured) and will attempt to beat the women's arm-powered speed record in Nevada in September. It will be powered by paracyclist Liz McTernan and will need to travel in excess of 21.39 miles per hour (34.42 km/h) over a 656ft (200-metre) stretch of tarmac . The current benchmark is held by Tracy Miller who broke the record on 13 May 1995 on a bike called Chairiot. Ms McTernan's HPV was been designed by mechanical and composites engineers and students from Plymouth University led by Adam Kyte, lecturer in Mechanical and Marine Engineering Design, working with students Matthew Sharman and Rhys Parsons. Mr Kyte told MailOnline that the team has had to design the whole thing from scratch. 'The standard design for a bike isn't the best in terms of aerodynamics,' he said. 'On our bike we've put two wheels at the front and one at the back to make it more aerodynamic but this presents an interesting challenge because we need to steer the front wheels and drive at the rear wheels.' The JIVR Bike, previously known as JIVE Bike, is an electric bike with a chainless drivetrain. A built-in electric motor allows users to commute up to 15.6mph (25km/h) in three modes - full electric, full manual and assisted pedalling. It has a range of 20 miles (32km) on a single charge in assisted-pedalling mode and takes two hours to recharge. The \u00a31,499 ($2,270) bike\u2019s accompanying JIVR app comes with with an intelligent dashboard that allows them to travel around the city in safe hands. Customers can reserve the JIVR bike online. This means Ms McTernan's body faces forwards, looking towards the floor, with her legs tucked underneath her body. 'The motion from the rider therefore has to pass through a chain and then to the drive at the back,' continued Mr Kyte. The frame of the handcycle is made from aluminium with the help of University technicians Julian Seipp, Rick Preston and Neil Fewings and the team are now building the aerodynamic shell from an advanced composite material. Elsewhere, Mr Kyte said that because Ms McTernan has limited use of her legs the steering system instead is controlled by her head. Pads either side of her helmet are used to control the front wheels and move the bike in different directions. Detailed tests were held over two days earlier this month, one day in the lab and one day in the field with Ms McTernan. But, instead of working on speed, these tests were designed to test the mechanics.

Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson has been arrested after a man was stabbed in the chest with a knife - and identified his attacker as 'Hobie' from the hit show. Jackson was taken into police custody on Saturday for assault with a deadly weapon in West Lake, LA. The 34-year-old is accused of stabbing a man with a knife on Friday - his relationship to the man is not clear. The victim told police the man was Hobie - Jackson played Hobie Buchannon, the son of David Hasselhoff's character Mitch Buchannon on Baywatch. On Saturday, police received a report of a possible prowler in the same neighborhood where the attack took place, reports the LA Times. Officers stopped that alleged prowler and discovered it was Jackson \u2013 who was wanted in the stabbing. He was immediately arrested at 7:15am. Jackson was released that same day on $30,000 bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department. Jackson, of Newport Beach, Calif., has not addressed the arrest on social media. He is well-known for his troubled personal life. He left Baywatch, which he starred in from 1991-1999, because he was suffering from a severe drug addiction, according to an interview with E! on Child Star Confidential. And in 2011 he was treated for steroid addiction on Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew. In January, the former child star was kicked out of UK reality show Celebrity Big Brother for groping a glamor model in a drunken stupor - he was later cautioned by police. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, a fellow contestant, had questioned the wisdom of Jackson taking part in the show, saying that the actor was not 'mentally stable' and 'borderline scary'.

When it comes to Hollywood's primary concern - banking a major box office - a series or superhero adaptation is largely seen as a surefire success, in a benchmark set in the early 2000's by Harry Potter and The Lord Of The Rings, and followed by The Pirates Of The Caribbean and Spiderman. However, while original screenplays and independent projects are being edged out and overlooked as a result, there is still a small group of stars considered capable of pulling people into theaters in droves. According to a new survey in The Hollywood Reporter - which called upon producers, agents and executives to list those who can command a major opening based on their fan base - there are six superstars around that can keep the studios swelling, without having to resort to turning a best-selling book or beloved comic into a picture. In return, they can ask for $20 million per film. 1. Sandra Bullock . The acting favorite, who won an Oscar in 2010 for The Blind Side, topped Forbes' list of the highest-earning actresses in 2014.

For a young guy who started out doing TV ads for Bubble Yum chewing gum in the 1990s, DiCaprio is now 40 and a bona fide movie star. While 1997's Titanic is still ranked as the second highest-grossing film of all time (after Avatar), taking $2.18 billion, he has appeared in some of the largest films of the last 15 years, including Inception, Django Unchained, The Departed, Catch", "summary": "New survey reveals there are six actors in Hollywood who can ask for $20 million per movie .

But now the characteristic hiss of interference that accompanies most FM broadcasts is set to fall silent. Norway has announced that it will be the the first country in the world to switch off its FM radio signal. Twiddling the knobs of a radio will no longer be necessary as analogue services switch off in favour of digital . The Norwegian Government said it will turn off its FM transmitters on January 11 2017. Now with the ever expanding number of digital radio services and growing numbers of people choosing to listen to internet radio, it seems likely other countries will follow Norway's example. The UK had planned to switch off its own FM service by 2018 but the plans were later shelved following objections from commercial radio stations. It is now not expected to happen until sometime after 2020 when digital listeners are expected to outstrip those using analogue stations. Streaming has topped CD sales in revenue for the first time in the United States as music listeners flock to on-demand services and Internet radio, industry figures showed. Data for 2014 showed a major shift to streaming as opposed to physical sales and permanent downloads, with rapid growth both for on-demand services such as Spotify and Rhapsody and Internet radio providers such as Pandora. Streaming revenue totaled $1.87 billion, edging out the $1.85 billion earned by CD sales, according to data of the Recording Industry Association of America. Streaming helped stabilize the bottom line for the long-troubled industry, with overall revenue from recorded music going up two percent to $4.86 billion to mark the fourth year of growth. Listening figures currently show that digital radios account for 37.9% of all listening hours in the UK. In the US, around 85% of American adults still listen to AM/FM stations. Norway, however, has just five national FM broadcasting outlets while there are 22 national digital radio stations. The Norwegian government said there was space for a further 20 digital radio stations and NRK, Norway's public service broadcaster, will be the first to switch off its FM service. The Norwegian Ministry of Culture estimates that the switch to digital radio could save \u00a317 million a year (NOK 200 million).

He advises that festival attendees should take steps to avoid catching diseases like Norovirus and Salmonella, which can cause gastrointestinal distress, as well as conditions like hepatitis A, influenza, and Shigellosis.

Experts also warn that people at Coachella should also take precaution to touch as few surfaces as possible while in public restrooms.

From the Romans, Saxons and Normans many hundreds of years ago to those from Africa, the Indian sub-continent and the Philippines today, England has always been shaped by migration. To mark St George\u2019s Day today, with a little help from WorldRemit, FEMAIL reveals the seemingly very English things that have actually been brought to England by people from abroad - and you may be surprised by the origins of your favourite things. Scroll down for video . Fish and chips has become a British institution, as well as a national money-spinner, but it is actually believed to be partly Portuguese and partly Belgian . FISH AND CHIPS . They're a British institution as well as a national money-spinner, but how much do we really know about fish and chips? For most of us, the classic combination of battered fish and chipped potatoes deep-fried in beef fat or vegetable oil is as English as the cup of tea that washes it down. But just as tea originates in India or China, fish and chips is partly Portuguese and partly Belgian. The British can take credit for uniting these two Continental imports and creating a coupling that is loved the world over. One hundred and fifty years ago, in 1860, on the streets of the East End of London, 13-year-old Jewish boy called Joseph Malin had the bright idea of combining fried fish with chips. Joseph's family were rug weavers. To increase the family income they had begun frying chips in a downstairs room of their house. It was Joseph's idea to combine the chips - at that point a novelty in London - with fish from a nearby fried fish shop. Fried fish already had a long history in London. In a letter written at the end of the 18th Century, future American President Thomas Jefferson described eating 'fried fish in the Jewish fashion' on a visit to the capital. Battered fried fish had first arrived in London 200 years earlier with Jewish refugees from Portugal and Spain. They brought with them a way of cooking fish that would eventually become as British as Sherlock Holmes. The actual origins of polo are unclear but historians are convinced it originated in Persia or amongst the Iranian tribes of Central Asia and was introduced to Brits by locals in the Indian state of Assam . By the 1830s, the imported novelty had established itself firmly as a favourite among London's poor. It was tasty, cheap and filling and could be eaten hot or cold. In 1846, a Jewish cookbook published in London included a recipe for fried fish. Eight years later, A Shilling Cookery For The People by French chef Alexis Soyer contained the first printed recipe for 'fried cooked potatoes'. The seal of respectability came when Victorian cook Eliza Acton, the forerunner of Mrs Beeton, suggested eating fried fish with vinegar to sweeten the taste.

A coroner has raised concerns over the lack of swimming lessons included in the national curriculum after a 15-year-old drowned in a river on the first day of his summer holidays. Rony John, 15, died after jumping into the River Great Ouse in Hartford, Cambridgeshire, despite being unable to swim. At an inquest into his death, the coroner said she would now write to Government chiefs to ask why swimming is not included in secondary school education. The hearing heard that swimming is compulsory during primary school but is not enforced for those aged 11 or over. Assistant Cambridgeshire Coroner Belinda Cheney said: 'Swimming is not a difficult skill to learn yet it is a critical life skill.' The hearing heard how Rony was with friends on the bank of the river in July last year when he dived into the water. When it was clear he was in difficulty, Rony's friends desperately tried to rescue the teenager.

The photo shows a beautiful young tiger cub in the hands of a freelance rebel fighter, known as Ahmed Shaheed.

The 28-year-old fighter from Sydney, showed off his new furry investment, posting a picture of the tiger cub on his social media account. His extravagant purchase was met with surprise by one of his fellow fighters, Abou Shaheed al-Muhajir. Unwilling to reveal the cost of his furry investment, the fighter did confirm that he had bought the tiger cub from a small village, near the Syrian city of Aleppo, where he has recently been based. The news comes just a month after the 28-year-old revealed on social media that he was looking to buy an exotic pet to keep him company. Photos of three potential pets were tweeted by Ahmed Shaheed, starting with a sad leopard sitting in a dirty cage. He commented: 'I just made the zoo keeper an offer for this, he said no to start off but the dollar goes a long way.' The wealthy gunslinger also tweeted a picture of a little owl.

Today, world leaders were joined by Princes Charles and Harry on the Royal Navy's flagship HMS Bulwark in Turkey's Dardanelles straits to mark the centenary of the catastrophic landings which claimed 140,000 lives during World War One. An estimated 1,000 Allied soldiers died on the first day of the disastrous invasion until January 1916, when after huge losses on both sides, the Allies successfully fooled the Turkish forces and evacuated their soldiers from the peninsula. Historian Stephen Chambers has collected more than 100 rare photographs, many taken by the troops themselves, including poignant images of soldiers from their preparation for the first landings right up until the evacuation. Soldiers are seen being hosed down on the deck of the SS River Clyde, a mule is hoisted on board the ship and even the moment a soldier makes the dash across No Man's Land has been captured for posterity. These photographs, many taken by soldiers, show the true horror of the doomed Gallipoli landings during World War One, which claimed the lives of 140,000 troops in eight months of fighting before they eventually withdrew to North Africa in January 1916 with no material gain . The invasion is widely considered a shambles as soldiers were sent aimlessly to their deaths in Gallipoli peninsula in a bid to capture the city of Constantinople. Historian Stephen Chambers released the poignant images to mark the catastrophic campaign's centenary . The Gallipoli peninsula is in modern-day Turkey, but in 1915 it was part of the Ottoman Empire. As Allied soldiers prepared to invade, they hoisted a mule hoisted aboard the collier ship SS River Clyde ahead of the three-day journey across the Aegean Sea . The rapid spread of diseases, a lack of clean water and food meant soldiers often suffered from low morale. This image shows the measures taken to prevent the spread of diseases like dysentry, including soldiers being hosed down on the deck . The Ottomans were fighting alongside Germany, so the aim of the campaign was to knock them out of the war by capturing Constantinople, but the plan failed spectacularly, with 250,000 Allied troops injured or killed in vain.

The assault began at dawn on April 25, 1915 as wave after wave of British and Irish, French, Australian, New Zealand and Indian troops attacked heavily defended beaches, through barbed wire and raced up cliffs to attack enemies .

While the incident sounds as if the 16-year-old raped the mother, Sheriff's spokesman Captain Steve Morris said there was no evidence of a crime and no charges are pending against the boy. No sexual crime charges have been filed against Lehnardt because 16 is the legal age of consent.

However, when Mr Myers started eating an onion ring, Lawson was angered, shouted at his victim and drove the knife into his thigh. Simon Blackford, for the prosecution, told Reading Crown Court that Lawson had been drinking with his colleagues at the festive party when he ordered a burger, chips and onion rings. He said: 'The defendant ordered a burger and chips and onion rings and some of his colleagues, including Mr Myers, took an onion ring and that gave rise to a somewhat explosive reaction. 'The defendant said \"don't you come between me and my onion rings\" and there was clearly some talk about that.' However, one of two colleagues, including Mr Myers then joked about taking more of his onion rings. At that point, Lawson 'reacted in a very loud way' to what was happening and stabbed Mr Myers with the steak knife he was clutching. The knife tore into Mr Myers's leg, causing a bloody wound nearly two inches deep, in front of the pub full of horrified onlookers on December 19 last year.

+{"article": "Jerusalem is a city that conjures up a sense of the holy, the historical and heavenly. The biblical city has been a magnet for pilgrims devoted to several of the world's faiths and religions, notably Jews, Christians and Muslims. Millions flock to the ancient, religious city every year. But for a small percentage, their excitement induced by their close proximity to holy landmarks invokes a rare condition known as Jerusalem syndrome. First identified in 2000, psychologists noted religious pilgrims overcome with excitement at being in close proximity to the city's holy places believed they were Biblical characters. It is characterised by anxiety, agitation and nervousness. And sufferers are often consumed by a need to be clean, before donning a toga-like gown often made from hotel bed linen. Jerusalem syndrome affects people visiting the holy city. It is characterised by seven stages, including anxiety, the need to be clean and performing sermons . The next stage sees sufferers overcome by the need to scream, or sing out loud psalms, verses from the Bible, religious hymns or spirituals. A procession or march to one of the city's holy places, is then finally followed by the delivery of a 'sermon'. The condition, which was first reported in 2000, often affects people with no history of mental health problems, LiveScience reports. However, in many other cases, experts believe the condition is likely part of a broader psychosis, that is not unique to Jerusalem. Simon Rego, director of psychology training at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Centre in New York, told LiveScience: 'You see things like this emerge periodically in the literature, where people think they have found a unique syndrome.' But, he said, it may simply be the result of an underlying mental illness. A study, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, noted that since 1980, Jerusalem's psychiatrists had encountered an ever-increasing number of tourists who, upon arriving in the city 'suffer psychotic decompensation'. A study published in the British Journal of Psychology identified seven sequential stages of Jerusalem syndrome: . 1. Anxiety, agitation, nervousness and tension, and other unspecified reactions. 2. Declaration of the desire to split away from the group or the family and to tour Jerusalem alone. Tourist guides aware of the Jerusalem syndrome and of the significance of such declarations may at this point refer the tourist to our institution for psychiatric evaluation in an attempt to pre-empt the subsequent stages of the syndrome. 3. A need to be clean and pure, an obsession with taking baths and showers and compulsive fingernail and toenail cutting. 4. Preparation, often with the aid of hotel bed linen, of a long, ankle-length, togalike gown, which is always white. 5. The need to scream, shout, or sing out loud psalms, verses from the Bible, religious hymns or spirituals. Manifestations of this type serve as a warning to hotel personnel and tourist guides, who should then attempt to have the tourist taken for professional treatment. Failing this, the two last stages will develop. 6. A procession or march to one of Jerusalem's holy places.", "summary": "Experts first identified the rare condition in 2000, noting seven symptoms .

An 18-month-old baby and three girls - aged three, six and eight - were trapped on a sandbank at Blackpool Beach while out walking during the school break. But when it was obvious they had found themselves in trouble, those perched on the nearby pier did nothing to help - instead, they took out their smartphones to record the drama. Two mothers saved the lives of three girls and a baby after the youngsters were trapped by the rising tide . The Mirror reported the two mothers held the baby and young girls' heads above the rising tide until volunteer lifeboats reached them. Lifeboat crew member Nathan Lee told the paper: 'They thought they were going to die. One mum was disgusted people were filming it all on cameras, not helping. 'A few more minutes and none of them would be here.' The incident serves as just another reminder of the dangers of rising tides after more than 60 spectators had to be rescued at the Boat Race in London on Saturday. Lifeboats were deployed to transport the onlookers from the shore after they became trapped on the edge of the River Thames. Video footage showed a group of at least 40 people stranded by the rising waters after watching the rowing race between Oxford and Cambridge universities. A boy, reportedly eight years old, was also rescued from an embankment after he became separated from his mother, while seven people were evacuated from Chiswick Eyot when they were cut off by the rising tide. The RNLI said it was a 'surprise' to find so many spectators in trouble and the number was 'significantly greater' than in previous years. Many were unaware that they would be exposed to the substantial wash from the flotilla following the races and from the rising tide, it said. As a result many were cut off and found themselves with limited options to reach higher ground.

The self-styled U-boat captain who funded his eccentric and lavish lifestyle with a 'sophisticated' \u00a31million VAT scam was today jailed for more than four years. Fraudster Richard Williams, 54, had spent \u00a350,000 of the cash turning a canal narrowboat into a replica German Second World War submarine with torpedo tubes and a periscope. The Captain Birdseye lookalike was jailed at Manchester Crown Court for a total of four years and eight months after admitting cheating the taxman out of over \u00a31million by reclaiming VAT from three false businesses. His ex-wife Laurel Howarth, 28, was jailed for 20 months for her part in the five-year scam which defrauded Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs of \u00a31,017,505. Judge Michael Murray told Williams: 'This was serious offending. It was carefully thought out, organised and planned over a long period of time. All the indications are that the money was squandered. 'You created three false business and there was no substance to them whatsoever. You submitted false invoice to HMRC with a view to dishonestly reclaiming VAT.' The judge told Howarth that her involvement was 'less culpable' after she had admitted three charges of recklessly filing false VAT returns to HMRC. He said: 'I am satisfied that you might have been coerced into committing some, if not all, of the offences. But you have pleaded guilty and have had the benefit of the payments over several years.' The hearing was yesterday told by Dominic Thomas, defending Williams, that Williams had blown the cash on 'a dissipated and nomadic lifestyle - travelling around marinas, buying boats, drinking champagne and generally behaving stupidly and recklessly'. A previous hearing had been told that Williams had indulged his passion for boats by building the replica sub on which he had posed in a captain's uniform. He had also paid for a private jet to take him and his wife to Paris to buy bespoke wallpaper and had converted the lounge of their home in Blackpool, Lancashire into a copy of the Oval Office in the White House. The scam was thwarted by VAT inspectors who raided his 'submarine' when it was moored outside the Royal Armouries in Leeds. Six months earlier he had been spotted on a canal in Liverpool dressed as a German submarine commander.

A thug who hit a stranger over the head with a bottle leaving his victim with a fractured skull has been jailed for four years. Shaquille Omar Hallisey's attack in Cardiff was described by a judge as 'a savage demonstration of violence in a public place'. The 20-year-old's victim Matthew Leeke, 38, had been out with friends and was making his way home alone when the assault took place. Prosecuting counsel Jeffrey Jones said witnesses described seeing three males behind Mr Leeke in Queen Street. They said the trio were arguing with Mr Leeke. 'They heard one say \"Walk away or else you are going to get hurt\" and then saw the defendant smashing a bottle over his head. 'He collapsed, hitting his head hard on the pavings and the three ran off.' Mr Leeke told police he remembered someone speaking to him and then people surrounding him trying to help. Cardiff Crown Court heard paramedics treated cuts to the back of his head and his forehead which had to be glued and stapled in hospital. He was taken by ambulance to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, and a scan showed a fracture. In a statement, he said he was now anxious to leave his house and was suffering dizziness and headaches. He said his wife and parents had also suffered a great deal of upset over what happened to him in June last year. Judge Philip Richards acknowledged that Hallisey's guilty plea to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm had been 'brave' but said it had been a long time coming. Hallisey had been due to stand trial before he changed his plea. 'You used a bottle as a weapon to strike another man over the head and he has been profoundly affected by it,' the judge told him. A judge at Cardiff Crown Court (pictured) jailed Hallisey for four years after he admitted to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm . He also said that Hallisey, of Cardiff, had been the victim of violence himself when younger and now had a good partner who was standing by him. The judge said: 'I hope you resolve never to come before these courts again.' Caroline Rees, for Hallisey, said her client had known prison was inevitable but that he had a supportive family. 'He is normally a kind and gentle young man doing his best to live a good life against what has been a tragic background', she told Cardiff Crown.", "summary": "Shaquille Omar Hallisey attacked Matthew Leeke in Queen Street, Cardiff .

While the Shangri La Hotel in Toronto opted for local designer, Sunny Fong, when overhauling their lobby lounge dresses and champagne room uniforms. The result was a sleek, sophisticated style, inspired by the Asian artwork in the property's common spaces. And that's just the beginning.

The Houston-based designer first launched his own line at age 21 and quickly became known for his classic shapes, structured pieces and tailored silhouettes. A first of its kind collaboration, Peck and Marriott took inspiration from the city's 104-year-old skyscraper, as well as the local Houston aesthetic in designing the ready-to-wear pieces.

Yet access to GPs has become a major policy and political issue. The crisis in A&E has led some to blame a lack of available GP appointments for people heading to emergency departments instead. Weekend opening hours for GPs has been touted as one solution - by improving access, many patients won\u2019t need to take up other care services. The crisis in A&E has led some people to blame a lack of available GP appointments, prompting more people to visit the emergency department instead . Since the summer of 2013, a number of GP surgeries in London have been piloting seven-day opening, as part of the Challenge Fund initiative - funding for which was recently increased from \u00a350 million to \u00a3100 million. Through the Challenge Fund, GP surgeries were asked to bid for funds for extra opening hours, but this was solely for set-up costs, for example, the sharing of medical records. Running costs had to be covered by surgeries from existing budgets. We wanted to know whether the flow of patients to A&E from four of these pilots in central London changed compared to a control group of 30 other surgeries in central London. In our study, we found an eight per cent drop in A&E attendances among patients of the pilot surgeries compared to the control group. We also found an eight per cent drop in A&E admissions among elderly patients, those aged 65 or more, of the pilot surgeries. This is because cautious doctors in emergency departments are more likely to admit elderly patients to hospital, while GPs, familiar with their case histories, may be more comfortable treating and sending them back home. The effect was also largest at weekends. And the fall was only in cases of mild to moderate severity. There was no effect in the most urgent cases such as those caused by accidents or brought to A&E in ambulance. Weekend opening hours for GPs has been touted as one solution to relieve the mounting pressure on A&E departments - by improving access, it is thought many patients won\u2019t need to take up other care services . Based on these findings, we calculated that this eight per cent fall would translate into two million fewer visits to A&E each year if weekend opening was made available nationally. Given that the average cost of a GP consultation is about \u00a327, while that of an A&E visit is \u00a3114, two million fewer A&E visits would imply a cost saving of \u00a3194 million for the NHS. From research carried out by Thomas Cowling and colleagues, we know that there is an association between GP access and the number of non-urgent A&E visits. In 2010-11, the GP surgeries that were most accessible also had lower A&E non-urgent visits compared to the GP surgeries with the least access.

Out on the election campaign trail under blue skies in South Wales, the trade union firebrand's manner was as warm as the weather. 'Didn't you once call me a slab-faced Marxist?' the famously militant leader of Unite asked me with a grin that was more genial than menacing. I had to confess I had. But that did not stop 'Red' Len McCluskey giving me the time of day on a street in Neath as he conducted a two-day tour of the Principality to drum up support for Labour's cause. Watching him in action, it was clear that he is highly popular with activists. His gospel of traditional hard-left socialism goes down well with the converted, as does his hackneyed anti-Conservative bile. 'We look to Wales as a beacon of hope to show what a Labour government can do. The Tories might have the money but we've got the working people on our side,' he said to cheers and applause. Yet all the smiles cannot hide the reality that McCluskey and his union are a potent, sinister force in British politics, seeking to use their financial and organisational muscle within the Labour movement to drag Britain back to the dark days of the 1970s. As the Mail reveals today, the sheer scale of the influence Unite holds on scores of Labour candidates is chilling given the socialist revolution the union would seek to impose. Indeed, McCluskey, a former Liverpool dock worker who keeps a drawing of Lenin in his office and once boasted of presiding over more strikes than any other union boss, is quite open about his yearning for that period when the unions held the government to ransom: 'We are supposed to believe that the Seventies was a horrible time. It wasn't. It was a time of great advances for working people,' he has said. Labour's umbilical link to McCluskey's union has received much less attention in recent days than a potential deal with the left-wing, anti-austerity SNP, yet it is just as potentially disastrous for the governance of this country. Not only is Unite \u2013 which has a claimed membership of 1.42million \u2013 intertwined with the Labour Party's structure, MPs and finances, but it also remains addicted to the failed socialist policies of the past, including a major expansion in the public sector, less flexibility in the workplace, higher taxation and ever more state spending. Just like Nicola Sturgeon, McCluskey wants to make Labour bolder, 'more radical, courageous and brave'. Only last month, he appeared to threaten illegal action if a Tory Government pushed through further restrictions on strikes in the public sector. 'When the law is misguided, when it oppresses people and removes their freedoms, can we respect it? I am not really posing the question, I'm giving the answer. It ain't going to happen,' he declared.

She said Friday she was hopeful the landlord would now let rent-stabilized tenants pay a reasonable fee to use the gym and have it continue to be free for their higher-rent neighbors. Dorsey said tenants previously offered to do that but were rebuffed, spurring her complaint. 'You really shouldn't have to do all this to live a happy life,' said Green Dorsey, 75, who has lived in the building since 1972. Market-rate apartments go for $3,500 a month for one-bedroom units, which advertise granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and close proximity to Whole Foods. The landlord, Stonehenge Partners Inc., had no immediate comment Friday. Stonehenge Partners has said the gym was built last winter to entice market-rate tenants. 'Any impact on rent-regulated tenants arises out of their length of tenancy in the building,' not their age, 'and involves that person's choice to remain in a rent-regulated unit at lower rent,' the landlord's lawyer, Jerrold Goldberg, wrote in a filing last year. The building advertises one-bedroom apartments for $3,500 a month that feature granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances . While city law prohibits discrimination based on age, it's silent on the subject of rent-regulation status. Stabilized tenants get valuable benefits of their own, like lower rent, Goldberg noted.

Poet Rupert Brooke has long had a reputation as a 'young Apollo', a symbol of innocent youth who was cut down in his prime during the senseless slaughter of the First World War. But a new haul of previously unseen letters show that he was in fact a slightly caddish womaniser who had a string of affairs without ever settling down. The documents, brought to light for the first time thanks to a \u00a3430,000 grant, show Brooke's lovers complaining about his refusal to take their relationships seriously. The letters are part of the John Schroder collection, which has spent decades in private hands but will now be available to the public after being bought by King's College, Cambridge, where the poet was a student. Brooke, who died 100 years ago today at the age of just 27, became a semi-legendary figure thanks to his early death and his popular poems such as The Soldier. His obituary was written by Winston Churchill, who called him 'all that one would wish England's noblest sons to be'. However, the letters in the Schroder collection - including 170 documents written by Brooke himself - show a somewhat different side to the great poet. King's archivist Patricia McGuire said that Brooke was 'promiscuous even for a man of his time' and carried on relationships with multiple girlfriends. 'Several women thought he was going to marry them - he may have thought that he was going to,' Dr McGuire told The Times. 'I think he was happy to spend a lot of time with as many women as he could.' Among the lovers whose affairs with Brooke are featured in the letters are Hollywood star Cathleen Nesbitt, artist Phyllis Gardner, and Laurence Olivier's cousin No\u00ebl. Lovers: Cathleen Nesbitt, left, and Phyllis Gardner, right, are among the women who had affairs with Brooke . Popular: Brooke became one of Britain's best-loved poets after his premature death . Nesbitt wrote to Eddie Marsh, Brooke's biographer, saying: 'I've no intention of marrying anybody for years to come - nor, I hope, has Rupert - though I shouldn't be in the least surprised if he settled in the wild with a squaw and a wigwam.' In another letter, she described the poet's care-free attitude in the face of the danger he submitted himself to in the war. Nesbitt wrote: 'When I talked of all things coming to an end he would always laugh and say, \"Hush - there's never any end when things are perfect.\"' This is not the first time that Brooke's reputation has taken a battering - previously discovered letters have shown him expressing unpalatable views on Jews and homosexuals.

As a part of the program, mothers and their babies have private rooms in one housing unit, which also contains other female inmates, who don't have any violent offenses on their records, to serve as trained nannies and help care for the infants when the parents have to attend certain obligations. Jayla noted that their rooms are as 'homey as possible', adding that instead of the metal bunkbeds that are often associated with prison life, she has a bed, a crib, a dresser, a closet and even a chair. She explained that her unit has 38 women in it, meaning that Jayden has constant attention.

Her life started to spiral out of control when she dropped out of cosmetology school at 19-years-old. She started taking pharmaceutical drugs and began a relationship with a man who was making meth. Jayla recalled that by the time she was 20, she was frequently using drugs and had also stopped paying her bills. By 21 she began helping her boyfriend to manufacture and sell meth.

The case resembles parts of the plot of The Wire (pictured), which featured electronic surveillance of drug dealers . Testifying on Wednesday, Baltimore police Detective Emmanuel Cabreja said the department is under orders by the US government to withhold evidence from criminal trials and to ignore subpoenas in cases where the device is used. Cabreja said under questioning from defense attorneys that he did not comply with a subpoena to bring the device to court because of a nondisclosure agreement between the Baltimore police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 'Does it instruct you to withhold evidence from the state's attorney and the circuit court of Baltimore city, even if upon order to produce?' asked defense attorney Joshua Insley. 'Yes,' Cabreja replied, saying he spoke with the FBI last week about the case. The Baltimore case surrounds a carjacking and robbery. Nicholas West and his co-defendant, a juvenile, pleaded guilty on Wednesday. Yet the case, like a handful of others in the city, has raised questions among defense attorneys and even a circuit court judge over the use of the cellphone-tracking equipment.

It is an upgraded version of the Stingray surveillance device.

Celine Bisette, who uses this pseudonym whenever she is discussing her career, insists she is neither 'damaged' nor 'deranged' - that, in fact, she rather enjoys being a prostitute, and it's only the social stigma surrounding her career choice that leaves her feeling unhappy.

First, Celine would like everyone to abandon whatever assumptions they've made about prostitutes. She claims that she didn't have an abusive childhood, she's not a 'hyper-sexual nympho', and she isn't uneducated. She had 'an incredibly fortunate upbringing', she said, adding that she got along well with her parents and older sister: '[It was] just about the best any child could possibly hope for.' Then, as a 19-year-old college sophomore, she found herself in need of a way to pay for school. A minimum-wage job wouldn't earn her enough money, and she didn't want to take out student loans. Her best option, she said, was the sex industry. 'I couldn\u2019t bring myself to do porn, and I knew wasn\u2019t talented enough to be a stripper,' she explained. Working as an escort seemed like a natural choice for Celine, as it was easy and it paid well - seeing just one or two clients a week covered her bills. It just didn't occur to her that others might not be so at ease with her decision. In the beginning, she'd readily tell people at parties what she did for part-time work. She was still out-going then, she said, and never felt self-conscious. But peoples' reactions quickly changed the way she approached conversations about her job. They would lecture her, insult her, and accuse her of being a 'traitor to feminism'. One friend told everyone in their social circle that Celine must be mentally unstable to have chosen such a career, and might have even been molested as a child. The rumor took off, and Celine lost a lot of friends in the process. Now, after about a decade in the industry, she is much more reticent about revealing what she does, for fear of eliciting those same negative reactions. But while she has a 'mainstream' part-time job that she uses as a 'cover', she finds it frustrating that she can't be more open. 'I wish I could feel proud of who I am and what I do,' she said.

Matheryn Naovaratpong, from Thailand, is thought to be the youngest person ever cryogenically preserved. The toddler was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer last April after she failed to wake up one morning, Motherboard's Brian Merchant reports . After being admitted to a Bangkok hospital, tests revealed she had a 11cm tumour in the left side of her brain. Scroll down for video . Matheryn Naovaratpong, from Thailand, is thought to be the youngest person ever cryogenically preserved . Doctors diagnosed her with ependymoblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer that afflicts the very young. The outlook was bleak from the start - the disease has a five-year survival rate of 30 per cent. To make matters worse, Matheryn - known to her family as Einz - had fallen into a coma. After a months of intensive treatment, including 12 rounds of brain surgery, 20 chemotherapy treatments, and 20 radiation therapy sessions, it became clear there was little more doctors could do. She died on January 8th this year after her parents switched off her life support machine. By the time she passed away, she had lost 80 per cent of the left side of her brain - essentially paralysing the right side of her body. But determined for some good to come from her death, her family have had her body cryogenically preserved - by one of the biggest providers of this service in the world. Matheryn is currently at the Arizona-based Alcor, her brain and body frozen separately at 196C. Her family's main - although many would argue, far fetched - hope is that one day, science will have progressed enough to restore life to her. Alternatively, her parents want the cells from her brain and other parts of her body to be saved, so the disease that killed her can be studied in the future. Aside from the huge number of 'what ifs', there is the cost. 'Membership' to Alcor costs $770 a year - plus a rather more hefty $80,000 for a 'neuro' (the procedure Matheryn had) or \u00a3200,000 to have a full body frozen. Alcor is also where the bodies of famous baseball player Ted Williams, as well as his son John Henry Williams, are stored. 'It [the freezing] provides the opportunity for Matheryn to breathe again when the technology is provided and appropriate for her disease,' said her father, who found out about the cryopreservation firm on the internet. The procedure involves moving the patient onto an ice bed, coating them in freezing materials and artificially restarting the heart with a \u201cheart-lung-resuscitator\".

Five years ago the world was facing catastrophic economic problems.

I really believe David Cameron and George Osborne deserve much of the credit for this incredible turnaround. But back to ten years ago. In 2005 I supported New Labour because they had ended the tyranny of 'or' \u2013 the idea that you could only have a strong and growing economy 'or' a fair and compassionate society. New Labour recognised that the one helped pay for the other; healthy tax receipts from business meant more money for schools, hospitals and helping the poorest in our country. Put simply, Tony Blair understood that in order to spend money, you first need to earn money. I'm genuinely concerned that this view isn't shared by the current Labour Party \u2013 and that business is viewed as the problem, rather than the essential engine that gives politicians the ability to provide that fair and compassionate society. What's more, they do not seem to understand how businesses work. Take their energy-freeze policy. This betrays a basic misunderstanding of how markets work. Companies would have elevated prices in anticipation of a freeze \u2013 and kept them high despite the recent drop in the price of oil. This is just one clumsy intervention that would end up costing people money. The current Government has made it very clear that the UK is open for business and endeavours to make business welcome here. It's vital, because fundamentally, the business world is driven by confidence and positive sentiment. The former Carphone Warehouse boss said Mr Cameron deserved credit for turning around the economy . However, it is very fragile and hard to nurture, and the mobility of the modern business world means a tech firm can start up as easily in Berlin or Silicon Valley as they can in London, so they're not going to pick a place which they perceive will make it hard for them to thrive.

Bournemouth officials are considering doubling the South Stand from its current 2,500 seats to 5,000, taking the whole capacity to just less than 15,000. However, Premier League regulations state that clubs must provide at least 10 per cent of their overall allocation of tickets for away supporters. This would mean that, should Bournemouth press ahead with the expansion, away fans might then have to be positioned behind one of the goals - against Howe\u2019s wishes. Last year, the possibility of increasing the stadium to 18,000 by filling in all four corners was discussed, but the logistics of that make it unlikely. Just to expand the South Stand would cost the club \u00a31.8million and, over the course of a season, they would only accrue \u00a3900,000 in ticket sales.

Len Barnes shed three stone as he battled the life-threatening condition Clostridium difficile, suffering bouts of diarrhoea. He lost his appetite and endured continuous pain. Despite numerous courses of antibiotics during long spells in hospital, the 75-year-old was showing no signs of improvement. It was then that specialists suggested a faecal transplant. Len Barnes, 57, from Stockton, has been cured of the severe bowel infection Clostridium difficile after undergoing a faecal transplant. His daughter Debbie, left, acted as donor . 'I'd never heard of it before,' said Mr Barnes. 'I thought, \"come on, you're taking the mickey\". 'But my doctor explained that mixing healthy poo with my poo - and transferring it back into my bowel mixed with warm water - would give someone's healthy bacteria the chance to fight with my bad bacteria. And when gastroenterologist Chris Wells raised the issue of finding a suitable donor, Mr Barnes' daughter Debbie stepped in. The 52-year-old's stools were tested to ensure they were suitable and free from harmful bacteria. Mr Barnes, from Stockton, was then admitted to the University Hospital of North Tees. The procedure aims to re-balance the bacteria in the gut, by introducing bacteria from the faeces of healthy people. Once Ms Barnes' stools were approved, they were mixed with water and filtered. The solution was then transplanted into Mr Barnes' gut via an endoscope - a long, thin, flexible tube that has a light source and a video camera at one end. 'I had a bit of sedation but watched it all happening on the screen in the endoscopy unit,' he said. Gastroenterologist Dr Chris Wells performed the procedure at the University Hospital of North Tees . 'I was interesting. I knew it had worked straight away. 'The next day Dr Wells said I could go home and everything was back to normal.' Dr Wells, said: 'Faecal transplantation doesn't sound very appealing but it's a very effective remedy in patients like Len. 'Transplanting faeces from one person to another does seem a bit unusual but actually it's using healthy gut bacteria to fight off infection. 'Our bowels are packed full of billions of bacteria and these play an important role in maintaining health.' Dr Wells said there had been a significant reduction in the number of C-diff cases in the trust over the past few years but it was reassuring to know that faecal transplant was now an option to treat the condition. In March last year the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence published new guidelines, naming faecal transplants as a recognised form of treatment for C-diff infections. Experts deemed the procedure is 'safe enough to be used in the NHS'. An analysis of seven studies, involving 558 patients, revealed nearly all patients were cured.

The offences, which ranged from inciting sexual activity with a child, to rape, happened in cars, woods or at the defendants' homes in Banbury, Oxfordshire. Oxford Crown Court heard how they lured victims to parties organised on social media and then began sexually abusing them. The men were found guilty in March and have now been handed sentences of between three and nine years in jail. Jailed: Ahmed Hassan-Sule, 21 (left) was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment. Mohamed Saleh, 22, (right) was imprisoned for four years and nine months . The girls, aged between 13 and 16, were targeted by the gang at under-18s parties organised by Ahmed Hassan-Sule, 21, known as 'Fiddy'. One child described the parties as 'a place where girls would go and the boys would choose their targets'. The victims, who were described in court as 'emotionally immature' were abused from 2009 to 2014. Sentencing Hassan-Sule and the others in a court packed with friends and relatives of the defendants and victims yesterday, Judge Zoe Smith said: 'You put on charity events to raise money for your football club. 'This raised your profile among young people in Banbury and you saw yourself as a celebrity. 'Your friends helped put on these events and you became a sexually promiscuous group, not with your own girlfriends, but with girls who were young, vulnerable and lacking in maturity.' The judge rejected the argument put forward by the defence, who accused the girls of coming forward because 'it's better to be a victim than a slag'. Behind bars: Kagiso Manase, 26, (left) was jailed for four years and Said Saleh, 20, (right) was sentenced to four years' detention in a Young Offenders Institute . One of the victims told the Oxford Mail: 'When I used to go missing I would swear at my mum and I didn't realise I was being really nasty to her. The men put me against my family \u2013 it was really clever. When I started hanging around with them I felt important. 'I had no friends and they were the only people left to talk to.

When police arrived, Fleming's daughter was being held by Jones' sister, who told police she had been caring for her sister's child while her sister was in Texas. Police determined the child was Fleming's and the baby was returned to relatives in Indianapolis.

The researchers said say that just as antibiotics are used to make farm animals put on weight, the may also be fattening our children. Writing in the respected medical journal Pediatrics, they said that the widely-prescribed drugs could be contributing to the obesity epidemic. A third of 10-11 year olds and more than a fifth of 4-5 year olds in England are overweight or obese, leading to fears that today's generation will be the first to die at an earlier age than their parents. Obesity: Babies given antibiotics in the first six months of life are more likely to be fat as toddlers, a large-scale study has found (file photo) The Finnish researchers compared the weight and height of more than 12,000 healthy two year old with records on antibiotic prescription. By two years-old, one in five boys and one in ten girls was overweight or obese. And children who had taken antibiotics as young babies were particularly likely to be overweight. Repeated prescriptions before the age of two also raised the odds of being a fat toddler. Boys seemed particularly prone weight gain after being given antibiotics. They were also slightly taller than boys who hadn't been given the drugs. The study didn't prove that antibiotics were causing weight gain. But if they do, it may be because they kill of bugs in the gut that would normally feed on some of the food eaten. This frees up more food for the body. Killing certain gut bugs may also increase appetite. Lead author Dr Antti Saari, of Kuopio University Hospital, warned: 'Antibiotic exposure before six months of age, or repeatedly during infancy, was associated with increased body mass in healthy children. 'Such effects may play a role in the worldwide childhood obesity epidemic and highlight the importance of judicious use of antibiotics in infancy. The worldwide obesity epidemic is real, and is more pronounced for boys. 'Epidemic': By two years-old, one in five boys and one in ten girls was overweight or obese and children who had taken antibiotics as young babies were particularly likely to be overweight (file photo) 'An increase in the use of antibiotics could be an additional contributing factor to the development of excess weight problems. 'The crucial role of antibiotics in the improvement of human health is unquestionable but their extended use today has undesirable and unexpected consequences.' Previous research has found that babies given antibiotics are at higher risk of eczema and digestive problems. The studies come amid growing concern that the over-prescription of antibiotics is leading to the pills losing their power and making common infections harder to treat.

But a remarkably relaxed Ancelotti, showing the kind of form in press room that he will hope his players show on the pitch Tuesday, reminded everyone that his team did not need to win. Two draws could see them go through so what was the problem?

Juries in Indiana cannot recommend a death sentence or life without parole unless they agree there is at least one aggravating circumstance beyond a reasonable doubt, the law says. Rape, burglary and dismemberment are among those aggravated circumstances.

Officers arrived on the scene and ordered Oberhansley to leave after Blanton spoke to him outside.

Police found that the back door had been forced open and inside, officers discovered Blanton dead under a tarpaulin in the blood-spattered bathroom of her home, with fatal injuries to her head, neck and torso.

She wrote of what she had seen in the conflict with her 1859 Notes on Nursing still considered as having shaped the profession today. During the war she became known as The Lady with the Lamp thanks to a report in The Times. She had been sent to Selimiye Barracks in Scutari, now Istanbul, in 1854 to care for soldiers. She pleaded with the British newspaper to appeal to the Government for better working conditions having been horrified by the squalor and disease fighters faced. The result was Renkioi Hospital, a civilian facility built in England and shipped to the area to care for those who had been hurt. It was there Nightingale earned her nickname, carrying a lamp as she completed rounds of the hospital's patients through the night. The lamp from her Derbyshire home was passed down through generations of the Lea Hurst servants' family. Auctineer Charles Hanson said: \u2018The lamp is quite remarkable.

Mexican federal authorities arrested Juarez Cartel boss Jesus Salas Aguayo on Friday, bringing an end to the career of a criminal who was famed for dispatching his enemies with the use of dynamite. Earning the nickname 'The Liquidator' for the brutal and ruthless methods that earned him a place on the DEA's Most Wanted list, Aguayo is charged with multiple felonies including the distribution of narcotics, homicide and arms trafficking. Scroll down for video . Fearsome: Jesus Salas Aguayo, a former gun for hire and Jarez Cartel boss known for his brutal murders of rivals, was arrested on Friday by Mexican police . Mexican authorities link over twenty deaths directly to The Liquidator, including the 2009 murder of a state witness in El Paso, a 2010 car-bombing which claimed the lives of two federal police officers and a 2012 massacre of fifteen people in a Juarez City bar. In 2008 the Sinaloa Cartel declared war on the Juarez Cartel as it sought to take control of Ciudad Juarez, a city of 1.5 million people that sits on the border with El Paso, Texas. That year alone saw 1,600 homicides in the city, and Ciudad Juarez City achieved the title of the most dangerous city in the world for three consecutive years. Jesus Aguayo, also known as 'El Chuy\u00edn', led the assault on the invading Sinaloa forces, causing the bloodshed of narcos, Mexican authorities and civilians alike. A respected 'sicario' or hired gun, The Liquidator was known to have spoken of his ambitions to one day run his own drug cartel. In 2008 he was hired by the Juarez Cartel bosses, who sent him to Ciudad Juarez to take over command of La L\u00ednea (The Line), the cartel's street-level army of assassins, who were notorious for mutilating the bodies of their enemies and civilians alike. The Jaurez Cartel was formerly one of the most feared in Mexico, but is now all but extinct following a war with the Sinoala cartel, and high profile arrests (pictured, boss Ricardo Gracia Urquiza is arrested in 2005) The Juarez Cartel eventually lost the conflict after three murderous years, and today its agents are spread widely across Chihuahua state.

Mohammad Ali Jawad, 56, allegedly dimmed the lights, shut the blinds and asked her to dance to the music of Julio Iglesias before massaging her neck and touching her breasts.

The woman, known as Patient A, told a hearing considering Dr Jawad\u2019s fitness to practise that when she went to him for a consultation about treatment for facial scarring, she took a bottle of vodka from her native Poland as a gift. He opened it in front of her, brought out two shot glasses and when the next patient cancelled his appointment, he gulped down some vodka, Patient A said. \u2018We had a shot first and I think he had a few, then he put the vodka in the bigger crystal glasses,\u2019 she added. \u2018The more he drank, the more he kept staring at my cleavage and telling me I looked pretty.

He was becoming increasingly drunk.\u2019 Patient A, a former personal assistant in her 30s, said: \u2018He re-entered the room and dimmed the lights, pulled the blinds down and played Julio Iglesias on his iPhone. 'He then opened a bottle of red wine, then he asked me to dance with him. He didn\u2019t really say anything \u2013 he grabbed me. \u2018I didn\u2019t stop him, I was paralysed. I pushed him away and managed to remove myself from his grip. I told him I would show him something on the internet, so he let me go. \u2018I showed him pictures of my friends on Facebook and that\u2019s when he stood behind me and started massaging my neck. He then moved his hand from my neck to my collarbone and the front of my chest. I was paralysed.\u2019 She added: \u2018He then sat down on the chair next to me, facing me. He pulled his legs round one of mine and squeezed my leg with his. He put his hands on my knee and asked if I thought he was pretty. He then asked me if I saw him as a man or a surgeon.

Now, new information from the Mars rover Curiosity, published in the journal Nature, shows that it is possible that there is liquid water close to the surface of the red planet. The \u2018Hidden Valley\u2019 in Gale Crater on Mars. Very fine-grained sediments, which slowly fell down through the water, were deposited right at the bottom of the crater lake. The sediment plates at the bottom are level, so everything indicates that the entire Gale Crater may have been a large lake. New information from Nasa's Mars rover Curiosity, published in the journal Nature, shows that it is possible that there is liquid water close to the surface of the red planet. The explanation is that the substance perchlorate has been found in the soil, which lowers the freezing point so the water does not freeze into ice, but is liquid and present in very salty water. Curiosity detected salts called perchlorates, which can absorb water from the atmosphere and turn it into briny liquid. When night falls, some of the water vapour in the atmosphere condenses on the planet surface as frost, but calcium perchlorate is very absorbent and it forms a brine with the water, so the freezing point is lowered and the frost can turn into a liquid. Curiosity landed on Mars in 2012 in the large crater, Gale, located just south of the equator. The giant crater is 154 kilometres in diameter and the rim of the crater is almost five kilometres high. In the middle of the crater lies the mountain, Mount Sharp. Curiosity has travelled more than 10km from the landing site towards Mount Sharp and has carried out many studies along the way. Doctor Morten Bo Madsen, associate professor and head of the Mars Group at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, said: 'We have discovered the substance calcium perchlorate in the soil and, under the right conditions, it absorbs water vapour from the atmosphere. 'Our measurements from the Curiosity rover's weather monitoring station show that these conditions exist at night and just after sunrise in the winter. 'Based on measurements of humidity and the temperature at a height of 1.6 metres and at the surface of the planet, we can estimate the amount of water that is absorbed. 'When night falls, some of the water vapour in the atmosphere condenses on the planet surface as frost, but calcium perchlorate is very absorbent and it forms a brine with the water, so the freezing point is lowered and the frost can turn into a liquid. Researchers say that Gale Crater was once a giant lake on the red planet . 'The soil is porous, so what we are seeing is that the water seeps down through the soil.

Charlotte Watts argues that stress drain nutrients from the body, meaning it shows up in some surprising ways. These seven symptoms are an indicator you are stressed, warns nutritionist Charlotte Watts. Below, she recommends the best foods to get rid of each one . Writing for the Healthista website, she said: 'Periods of stress use up nutrients more quickly. 'This is because our whole system - including energy, brain responses, hormones and immunity - is working at a higher and faster rate.' As a result, some symptoms associated with vitamin or mineral deficiencies can also be a warning sign of the deeper, long-term effects of chronic stress. Here, in an extract from her new book - The De-Stress Effect: Rebalance Your Body\u2019s Systems for Vibrant Health and Happiness - she reveals seven surprising signs of stress and what to eat to replenish lost nutrients... CRACKS AT THE SIDE OF THE MOUTH . What\u2019s causing it? Need for vitamin B6 . Those unpleasant little sore fissures we can get at the corners of the lips are a sure sign that B vitamin status is low and particularly B6. B vitamins are important for the health of the nervous system and are needed to get energy from the carbohydrates, fats and proteins that we eat, so we use them up during the energy-rich stress response. Cracks at the side of the mouth are a sign the body is low on vitamin B6 . Important for the nervous system, B6 is involved in the production of the neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) serotonin and dopamine that regulate mood and motivation and also melatonin, that governs sleep, so we also see these suffer when stress is prolonged. We have a higher need for B6 with during contraceptive/HRT and antidepressant medication use. Food sources: carrots, chicken, eggs, fish, meat, peas, spinach, sunflower seeds, walnuts, avocados, bananas, beans, broccoli, brown rice, whole grains, cabbage, corn and potatoes . JAW GRINDING . What\u2019s causing it? Need for vitamin B5 . Another B vitamin, B5 is often referred to as the anti-stress vitamin, as it helps with the production of adrenal hormones, cholesterol and immune antibodies, all of which have a higher turnover during the stress response. Note here that this cholesterol production is not all \u2018bad\u2019, we need it to produce new cells and the steroid hormones like cortisol and DHEA that are part of the stress response. Long-term stress often shows up as jaw clamping and teeth grinding, partly as tensing muscles around the face increases brain alertness, which the body senses it needs to deal with danger, but it is also associated with lowered levels of B5. This vitamin is also needed for production of the memory neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which also calms us down after stress has past. Lowered levels mean difficulty self-soothing after stress has passed and the memory issues we see with chronic stress.", "summary": "Charlotte Watts, a nutritionist, says stress drains the body of nutrients .

In 10 battleground constituencies polled by the Tory peer Lord Ashcroft, Ukip's vote has fallen in nine of them . Support for Mr Farage's party has more than halved in two seats and by more than a third in most of the others . The revelation comes after a leaked poll revealed Mr Farage is on course to lose his own Parliamentary election battle in Ukip's heartland in Kent. The Ukip leader has seen his support in Thanet South collapse from a 12 point lead over the Tories. He is now sitting in second place in the Kent constituency, 1 per cent below his Conservative rival Craig Mackinlay and only just ahead of Labour.

Hamilton immediately seized the initiative, which he has never ceded in the slightest measure from that day to this. When on form, Hamilton is an extraordinary racer, maybe utterly unbeatable.

But smoking of traditional cigarettes plummeted to about nine per cent. On the rise: Around two million high school students now admit to buying e-cigarettes . The CDC report, released on Thursday, is based on a national survey of about 22,000 students at middle schools and high schools, both public and private. Tom Frieden, CDC director, remarked that the results are 'alarming' and 'shocking'. 'What's most surprising is how in\u00adcred\u00adibly rapid the use of products other than cigarettes has increased,' Frieden said in an interview quoted by The Washington Post. 'It is subjecting another generation of our children to an addictive substance.' E-cigarettes typically deliver nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin and flavorings through inhaled vapor. They have been on sale in the United States since 2006, but this is the first year that the Centers for Disease Control has measured their use. It follows a government-funded study released in December which found similar trends, leading experts to warn of a potential 'epidemic of teen tobacco use'. 'The concern is that e-cigarette advertising is recruiting intermediate risk adolescents to nicotine use- kids who would not otherwise have started smoking,' said James Sargent, of Dartmouth Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center in a paper published in the journal Pediatrics. There are currently more than 400 brands of 'e-cigs' available. E-cigs contain far fewer cancer-causing and other toxic substances than cigarettes, however their long-term effects on health and nicotine dependence are unknown. The popularity of e-cigarettes, which typically deliver nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin and flavorings through inhaled vapor, has increased in the past five years. 'These are kids who might go on to smoke cigarettes, which are much better at delivering nicotine than e-cigarettes. 'If this pattern of use is adopted by adolescents in the continental U.S., we could be in for an epidemic of teen tobacco use in this country that could greatly reduce the overall benefits to public health of e-cigarettes.' Researchers have been critical of the fact that packaging and marketing of e-cigarettes is not regulated, and that manufacturers' opportunities to target adolescents are wide open, absent FDA regulation of these products.

Public land managers are desperate to reduce the most recent 'significantly rampant population' of the pest, which causes millions of dollars of major agricultural and environmental damage each year. 'This year, because of really high summer rainfall - which led to great food availability - there has been a big surge in the rabbit population in Sydney. They are really abundant,' Graham Wilson, the manager of biosecurity at Greater Sydney Local Land Services, told Daily Mail Australia. Feral rabbits, which are deemed a pest in NSW, are liekly to br targeted with the Calicivirus, also known as Rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD), in May . It comes after over 30 government bodies scattered carrots laced with calicivirus around public areas in March . 'The way we introduce the calicivirus in rabbit populations is first we chop regular carrots up and distribute them to different areas and see if they are going to eat them. 'Then, the virus is produced in a laboratory with spreading agents and its mixed with carrots - so that it's coating the carrots - and then we take them and give them to councils to put out where they want.' While rabbits under one year old have a higher chance of surviving, about 70-100 per cent of rabbits die once infected with the calicivirus, also known as rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD), which damages the animal's liver and gut and causes haemorrhaging and bleeding. The program has been implemented annually for the last nine years as a way of managing the pests and 'bringing the population back down again before damage becomes too severe,' Mr Wilson said. 'In other parts of NSW this virus spreads naturally, but you get bushland fragmented by houses and things in urban areas so we are just artificially introducing it into these places.' The feral animals compete with native wildlife for food and habitat and are believe to be responsible for the extinction of and population decline of a number of mammals. They also damage vegetation and prevent its regeneration by feasting on seedlings. About 30 public land managers and councils in Sydney, across 160 localities, scattered the infected vegetable in public areas in March, but a second smaller scale program is likely to be implemented in May across 10 areas as well as the Central Coast. 'It's just because in some areas the numbers have shown the rabbit populations haven't gone down as much as we'd like,' Mr WIlson said. Pet owners are being urged to vaccinate their domestic rabbits, but Mr Wilson assured the virus does not harm cats, dogs or humans. Rabbits were introduced to Australia by the British settlers in the First Fleet. They breed quickly, producing up to five litters of five young each year, and can be found right across Australia in various habitats .

But research with twins suggests picking who to vote for in an election might have more to do with your genes than the policies of the parties. To put this to the test, the Department of Twin Research, which hosts the biggest adult twin registry in the UK, recently performed a poll of voting preferences. Deciding who you will vote for may have more to do with your family than who won the leaders debate (above) finds study which looked at the voting habits of twins born in the UK. The aim was to explore how much nature and nurture influence our party political allegiances and potential voting preferences . The twins were all born in the UK and were broadly representative of the UK population. The aim was to explore how much nature and nurture influence our party political allegiances and potential voting preferences so we can draw broader conclusions about people\u2019s voting habits. Twins provide a unique natural experiment for research. Identical twins share 100 per cent of their genes, while non-identical twins - like non-twin siblings - share about 50 per cent. Both identical and non-identical twins normally share the same environment while growing up. Twin studies are useful for exploring whether a trait is forged in the genes, passed down or by the environment a person is living in. As identical twins share exactly the same DNA, traits produced by genes should appear in both twins. However in non-identical twins the DNA will not be the same and so differences can occur. In most cases twins should have shared the same environment when growing up too. So by comparing the differences and similarities between identical and non-identical twins it may be possible to unravel whether a trait is environmental or cultural. However, as twins grow up they can be influenced by different groups of friends, cultural experiences and points of view. This can make it difficult to unpick the influence of environment over genetics. In the case of political views, these can also run strongly in families as they tend to share the same socioeconomic background and parents can often impress their political support upon their children. However, the study of twins found identical twins were more likely to vote the same way than the non-identical twins. Assuming they had similar upbringings and experiences through adulthood, this would suggest there is an underlying genetic influence for political alignment. By comparing the differences and similarities between them the researchers said they can identify how much of a quirk, disease, or trait is due to a genetic predisposition or environmental and cultural factors. Because twin studies adjust for culture and upbringing, they are an ideal way to study political allegiances.

Supporters compare Stutzman's benefit page to an Indiana pizza shop that raised more than $800,000 after closing when the owner said the shop wouldn't cater a gay wedding. Supporters: An online campaign for Richland, Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman (pictured) has raised over $87,000 after the florist was fined for refusing to provide a gay couple with flowers for their 2013 wedding . Refused service: Couple Robert Ingersoll (left) and Curt Freed (right) were longtime customers at Stutzman's shop, and while she was fine providing them flowers before, she cited her religious beliefs when declining to service their wedding . Stutzman, owner of Arlene's Flowers and Gifts in Richland, Washington, received the fine in Benton County Superior Court in March after refusing to serve same-sex couple Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed in 2013. When longtime customer Ingersoll came to Arlene's Flowers and asked for the flowers, the devout Southern Baptist told him her 'relationship with Jesus Christ' wouldn't allow her to do the wedding. After they were refused flowers, Ingersoll and Freed went ahead with a smaller wedding than they had planned. They got married in their home with 11 guests and flowers from another florist. In a February ruling, Benton County Superior Judge Alexander Ekstrom found that Stutzman's refusal to provide flowers because of sexual orientation violated Washington's anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws. Along with the fine, the judge's ruling also requires that everything Arlene's Flowers sells to opposite-sex couples has to be available at the same price to same-sex couples. Attorney General Bob Ferguson, whose office requested the fine, said in a statement Friday that the ruling is a reminder of the reach of Washington's anti-discrimination laws. 'My primary goal has always been to end illegal discrimination,' Ferguson said. 'I'm pleased that today's ruling clearly prohibits discrimination against same-sex couples.' Before Ferguson's office filed the consumer-protection lawsuit against Stutzman, it had sent her a letter asking for an agreement to no longer discriminate, which she refused.

When tumours in the lungs are suspected, patients can face a raft of tests and even surgery to find out if they have the disease, often resulting in an agonising wait before they start lifesaving treatment. Now doctors at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) are able to start vital treatment much sooner using a single procedure. It even allows them to assess instantly the type and severity of the cancer. Scroll down for video . A finger-width flexible tube called an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) allows doctors to see inside the lungs and take a tissue sample in one go. The procedure involves inserting the EBUS down the throat, guided by a tiny camera fitted to the tube. An ultrasound scanner attached to one end of the tube takes a scan while a small needle takes a tissue sample. Findings from a three-year trial at UCLH reveal that the method halves the time it takes between a patient\u2019s first hospital appointment and for a decision to be made on the best course of treatment. EBUS patients wait an average of 14 days for a decision, compared with 29 days for those diagnosed via more conventional techniques. And as well as getting a quicker diagnosis, patients who have undergone EBUS survive for longer. Doctors at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (pictured) are able to start vital treatment much sooner using a single procedure . They survive for 503 days after diagnosis, compared with 312 days for people assessed through more traditional methods. This is probably due to the fact that EBUS can more accurately diagnose the type of cancer involved and therefore the type of treatment needed. Consultant Dr Neal Navani, who has been testing the technique, said the results had been so impressive that he now hoped the procedure would be rolled out across the NHS. \u2018EBUS routinely prevents the need for scans, tests and operations and speeds up the route to the correct treatment,\u2019 he says. He adds: \u2018The trial showed that the new procedure is quicker and better \u2013 it halves the time to the start of treatment at no additional cost.\u2019 BBC political editor Nick Robinson announced that doctors found a tumour on his lung earlier this year .

The only person convicted for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher has declared that he will seek a retrial, following the sensational exoneration of Amanda Knox. Small time drug dealer Rudy Guede, 29, is serving a 16-year sentence for the murder in Perugia, Italy. The Ivory Coast national's DNA was found all over the bedroom where Miss Kercher was found half-naked, her throat slit in 2007, in the cottage she shared with Knox. Knox and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito served four years for the murder, which prosecutors claimed was a sex game gone wrong, before being conclusively cleared last month by Italy's highest court. The Supreme Court's ruling throws a new lifeline to Guede, who was convicted by the same court of being an accomplice to a murder 'committed in the company of others'. Lawyers for Guede are likely to argue that the two sentences are incompatible, forcing a revision of his conviction. Speaking from prison in Viterbo, where he is described as 'a model prisoner' Guede claimed that his conviction is rendered 'impossible' by the exoneration of Knox and ex boyfriend Sollecito. He said: 'Look at me: I committed the impossible crime. How can I be the accomplice in a murder without any accomplices? ' Guede who is now halfway through his sentence said: 'I want a retrial.' He said his lawyers are waiting for the reasoning behind the innocent sentence of the Supreme Court, to be published which will be within 90 days of the Knox verdict. 'I am convinced that we will find elements to overturn the verdict,' he said.

Already the overturning of Knox and Sollecito's guilty sentences has left the Kercher family 'shocked' and with many unanswered questions. If Guede too were absolved, on a judicial technicality, it would leave no one paying for their daughter's murder. The Italian justice system is currently being overhauled because of its cost, contradictions and inefficiency. It has a backlog of around nine million legal cases.

But the love between British soldier, Sergeant Norman Turgel, 24 at the time, and teenage Polish girl Gena, 20, was only kindled because of the generosity and kindness of the camp's British commander Major Leonard Berney. This week survivors and liberators of the notorious Bergen-Belsen camp in northern Germany gathered to commemorate the day British soldiers entered its gates and began the task of saving as many of the 60,000 starving inmates as was possible. Gena and Norman were married two months short of their golden wedding anniversary of 50 years, pictured before his passing in 1995 . Norman Turgel pictured as a young soldier in the British Intelligence Corps in his early 20s (l) and Gena Turgel as a young girl (r) Gena, weighing only a few pounds was, like many others in the camp, a walking skeleton, for whom certain death was only days away. Among the recently dead was Dutch girl Anne Frank whose diaries while hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam became world renowned. But through the striped and filthy prison uniform, Sergeant Norman Turgel of the 53 Field Security section of British Intelligence Corps, spotted an eternal beauty and began talking to her. Before long Norman had fallen in love with the young Jewish girl who at last was being fed proper food and was being given clothes to wear again. Anne Frank, whose diaries of persecution at the hands of the Nazis became the defining account of the Holocaust, was just one of Bergen-Belsen's many victims. Frank was living in the Netherlands when the Nazis seized it in 1940, leaving them trapped. In 1942 they were forced into hiding in secret rooms hidden inside Otto Frank's office building. They spent two years there, but were anonymously betrayed and sent to the concentration camps. Anne, and her sister Margot, were taken to Bergen-Belsen, where they died of typhus in February 1945, just months before the Allies liberated it. Bergen-Belsen's SS commandant, the cruel and tyrannical Joseph Kramer, was among those Norman helped to round up and capture. Other soldiers helped hand out fresh bread and fruit. Norman became so besotted with Gena that he told her he was going to marry her one day. But here the story could have ended had it not been for Major Leonard Berney, the new commanding officer of what became Belsen Camp for Displaced Persons. With Norman posted away and other prisoners being repatriated to all parts of Europe, there was a danger of the young lovers being parted forever.

Brown, center, and Mark Cowin, director of the Department of Water Resources, right, look on . State water officials found no snow on the ground at the site for their manual survey of the snowpack. Brown's order will require campuses, golf courses, cemeteries and other large landscapes to significantly cut water use; direct local governments to replace 50 million square feet of lawns throughout the state with drought-tolerant landscaping; and create a temporary rebate program for consumers who replace old water-sucking appliances with more efficient ones. The move will affect residents, businesses, farmers and other users. CBS News quoted Brown as saying 'People should realize we're in a new era. The idea of your nice little green grass getting lots of water every day, that's going to be a thing of the past. 'We're not going to change everything overnight but we are in a transition period. People have to realize that in many parts of California, they are living in a desert.' The order calls on local water agencies to implement tiered water pricing that charges higher rates as more water is used and requires agricultural users to report more water use information to state regulators. Brown's office said that would boost the state's ability to enforce laws against illegal water diversions and water waste. The order also prohibits new homes and developments from using drinkable water for irrigation if the structures lack water-efficient drip systems.

Thomas Buckett plunged 15ft on to a concrete floor after friends dared him to jump on a glass skylight, and sustained life-changing head injuries as a result. A court heard the group of teenagers had broken into the school\u2019s tuck shop before scaling the roof on a Sunday in May 2010.

Injuries: Mr Buckett had to undergo invasive surgery when he fell through the roof of a school after breaking in to the tuck shop and stealing food and drink . It was originally claimed that Thomas climbed on the roof of Clayton Hall Business and Language College in Newcastle-under-Lyme to fetch a football. But the court heard that a police officer who investigated the break-in wrote an email of support to the council, stating that he had made the family aware \u2018this incident was the fault of Thomas and his friends messing around\u2019.

+{"article": "ALL DAY LONG . By Joanna Biggs . (Serpent\u2019s Tail \u00a314.99) Famously and memorably, the poet Philip Larkin asked: 'Why should I let the toad work / Squat on my life?' He longed to be '... courageous enough / To shout Stuff your pension! - but knew he never would. Coffee morning: Britain at work . The tyranny of the nine-to-five is about money (of course), but also about moral worth: we work because we know we should 'pull our weight' in society's tug-of-war. On any morning, in any town or city all over the world, people stream into their places of work, some driven by a sense of vocation, some by resigned boredom, some by greed, some by need. Surely it is work, not love, which makes the world go round? Joanna Biggs offers an excellent contribution to our knowledge of the world of work in all its variety - not through tedious sociological analysis (thank goodness), but through the stories of real people she has interviewed all over the country. Reading this book reminds me how times have changed dramatically since my generation left school or college in the Sixties with no worries about finding a job. We were lucky. Joanna Biggs makes it bleakly clear that for many people today, 'the idea that good work brings a good life no longer holds'. Biggs divides her workers in interesting categories, yoking disparate occupations in terms of their overall function. So the 'Making' chapter gives us a potter, a shoemaker and (yes) a robot, which introduces us to its maintenance engineers. 'Serving' includes a sex worker, two baristas, a call centre adviser and a political special adviser. Those 'Repairing' are a rabbi, an Army major and a nurse, while those 'Leading' are a company director, a stay-at-home mum (inspired, that one) and a hereditary lord. Biggs writes: 'I continuously heard that people loved their jobs, and sometimes this worried me' The scope of the book is broad. We meet those who are selling, entertaining, thinking, caring - as well as a curious clutch of people Biggs lumps together under 'Starting': a goldsmith's apprentice (one of my favourites), a rebellious intern, an entrepreneur specialising in 'start-up' technologies, an unemployed graduate. There's also a 56-year-old man on Mandatory Work Activity, usually known as 'workfare' - the Government initiative designed for those on Jobseeker's Allowance, to help them 'gain a better understanding of the discipline and focus required for work... while at the same time making a contribution to the community'. Joanna Biggs clearly does not think very much of 'workfare': in fact, it's clear she despises the scheme. Here, although of course anyone can see that the system is not perfect, I wish she hadn't editorialised so overtly. I really wanted to hear more about what John thought of his life. A book which aims to give the reader much-needed insight into other people's lives (and it certainly does that) seems to me to be spoilt by degenerating into a student newspaper leader: 'A citizen's income set at the right level - \u00a3320", "summary": "Joanna Biggs tells the stories of real people she has interviewedin the UK .

Shigella infections, otherwise known as 'Delhi Belly' or 'Montezuma's revenge' were traced to people who had recently traveled to the Dominican Republic, India or other countries. The symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea. Outbreaks of the Shigella bacteria are not unusual, but this strain is resistant to the antibiotic most commonly prescribed for adults. Cases of shigellosis (bacteria pictured), otherwise known as 'Delhi Belly' or 'Montezuma's revenge' were traced to people who had recently traveled to the Dominican Republic, India or other countries . The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the report Thursday. The superbug sickened at least 243 people, in 32 states and Puerto Rico. Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed, especially for more serious cases. CDC Director Tom Frieden said in a statement: 'These outbreaks show a troubling trend in Shigella infections in the United States. 'Drug-resistant infections are harder to treat and because Shigella spreads so easily between people, the potential for more \u2013 and larger \u2013 outbreaks is a real concern. 'We\u2019re moving quickly to implement a national strategy to curb antibiotic resistance because we can\u2019t take for granted that we\u2019ll always have the drugs we need to fight common infections. Scientists unlocked the genetic code of bacteria grown from a soldier who died of dysentery in World War I. Their findings revealed a superbug already resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics decades before they were in common use. CDC Director Tom Frieden said the spike in outbreaks show a 'troubling trend' in Shigella infections across the United States . Kate Baker of Britain's Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute said last November that analysis of genetic differences between this 1915 sample of Shigella flexneri and three others isolated in 1954, 1984 and 2002 showed that while the bacterium has changed relatively little, the mutations it has acquired have made it more dangerous and persistent. It also went though what is known as a 'serotype conversion', she said, which made it able to re-infect and cause illness in people who had already been infected before and would previously have been immune to further attacks. Shigella causes an estimated 500,000 cases of diarrhea in the United States every year. CDC and public health partners investigated several recent clusters of shigellosis in Massachusetts, California and Pennsylvania and found that nearly 90 percent of the cases tested were resistant to ciprofloxacin (Cipro), the first choice to treat shigellosis among adults in the United States.", "summary": "Cases have been traced to ill travelers from India and Dominican Republic .

HOT SEAT: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton will testify in public about the Benghazi debacle, and about her exclusive use of a home-brew email server while she was secretary of state .

Daily Mail Online asked her in the Reagan National Airport terminal if she had made mistakes handling the crisis, and when she would be ready to start answering reporters' questions. Clinton, steely-eyed, looked forward and walked silently without uttering a word. Gowdy's action comes a day after the GOP-led panel signaled its final report could slip to next year, just months before the presidential election. Clinton is widely considered the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president.

'So instead of paving over green we can all play a part in reducing the grey and brightening it, and us, up with some plants. 'On top of making us feel better and happier, if hundreds and thousands of people across the country across the country grew more plants of different varieties in gardens and community spaces, it would all help to improve our air quality, benefit us, our wildlife and reduce temperatures and flooding risks. The society has issued advise for people to transform their gardens by planting a tree, hedge and a shrub . The RHS has launched a three year 'greening grey Britain' campaign in a bid to transform 6,000 unloved grey, concrete spaces into planted-up areas. A survey of 2,000 people by the organisation found that 95 per cent thought being in a beautiful garden lifted their mood. More than 60 per cent said looking at a street of paved-over front gardens saddened them. The RHS says replace paving with plants . The RHS has suggested people can transform their concrete front gardens by planting five things; . a tree - intercept intense rain and slow run-off, helping reduce risk of floods . a hedge - provide areas of shade . a shrub - create extra habitats for wildlife which can promote growing of more plants . a climber - cool buildings . a perennial plant - reduce pressure on drains which can lead to flash flooding . The poll also found that 60 per cent of people worry about paved front gardens and flooding. The society is offering tips on how to transform grey areas. Tips include pulling up a paving stone and planting it up, to creating window boxes and planting trees and climbers in front gardens which can cool buildings. Around 30,000 volunteers who worked on the Britain in Bloom competition will also help transform concrete Britain into a greener space in the three years of the campaign.", "summary": "The RHS has warned about the 'grey sprawl' with front gardens paved over .

Mr Clegg has seen a dramatic collapse in his popularity since the heyday of the 2010 election campaign when he was lauded as being more popular than Winston Churchill. The party secured 23 per cent of the vote in the 2010 election. Since taking the Lib Dems into government and breaking his promise to scrap tuition fees, the party's poll ratings have slumped to single figures. Most Lib Dem MPs are choosing to keep Mr Clegg off their leaflets and instead campaign on local issues. Mr Mason told ITV Tyne Tees: 'I think that Nick Clegg coming to Redcar might be a little bit of a double-edged sword for us. 'He\u2019s not the most popular politician in the mainstream political circuit at the moment and I\u2019m not convinced that his presence here would actually do us many favours.' After the interview, the Lib Dems issued a 121 word statement on Mr Mason's behalf praising Mr Clegg for having 'real guts'. Mr Clegg is touring the country in a bright yellow battlebus, which stopped off in Cardiff yesterday where he campaigned with leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Kirsty Williams (pictured) Mr Mason said he was now in 'no doubt' that Mr Clegg would be 'well received' if he paid a visit. The statement said: 'Nick has shown real guts as our party leader and is someone I admire and respect. 'As Deputy Prime Minister he delivered tax cuts for low earners, more jobs and apprenticeships, and ensured real investment has come to Redcar after decades of neglect by Labour and the Tories. 'Whilst this real difference to real people\u2019s lives has not always been given a fair hearing in the mainstream political circuit, the election campaign at last gives Nick and our party a chance to be heard directly by the public. 'As such I have no doubt that if Nick now came to Redcar and met all the people who have benefited from having the Liberal Democrats in government he would be well received.'\u200e . The Lib Dems won the Redcar seat with a 5,000 strong majority in 2010 but MP Ian Swales has stepped down. Mr Clegg faces a tough fight to keep hold of his Sheffield Hallam seat and polls have predicted his party could lose more than half of its MPs.\u200e .", "summary": "Josh Mason gave TV interview thanking Clegg for not visiting his seat .

Joshua will be entering the ring for the first time in 2015, after he was forced to pull out of a January fight against Kevin Johnson due to a stress fracture in his back.

'Sparring has been really good. I've been sparring with guys who are sharp and I've been handling business in sparring so I should be good to go on Saturday night.' Gavern's last fight in the UK came in November 2013, when he lost the Prizefighter final to Michael Sprott - an opponent Joshua took just 90 seconds to knock out in November. The British heavyweight is, however, taking nothing for granted this weekend. 'There's no sparring you can do to prepare for Gavern,' Joshua said. 'With 50 fights and so much experience, he's a very awkward opponent. 'I've watched his videos and he's awkward to hit. 'He's entertaining as well - he can get in your head mentally. 'I've been out five months so I'll probably have a bit of ring rust myself while he'll be sharp so there will be some heavyweight blows and may the best man win.'

'Boxing is about opportunities and I'm looking forward to this fight,' Gavern said. 'I saw the odds on Facebook of me getting knocked out within 15 seconds, or 20 seconds or 30 seconds - it's kind of funny. 'It's the heavyweight division, Anthony Joshua is here for a reason.

Bamford, the on-loan Chelsea forward, struck his 15th of the campaign, to match the tally of Colombian Hamilton Ricard during the 1998-99 Premier League season. No one has scored more in the 16 intervening years. His deflected 20th-minute effort was enough to earn victory over relegation-threatened Wigan, who now have just six matches to avert the prospect of playing League One football just two years after shocking Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

Despite being five points adrift of safety, the Lancashire club arrived with an impressive away record, having taken 21 of their 35 points away from the DW Stadium and winning their last four games on the road. However, no second-tier side have taken more points on their own turf than Middlesbrough and Bamford made it nine victories in 10 attempts at the Riverside. It was from a classic counter-attack that Aitor Karanka\u2019s team took the lead. A Wigan free-kick invoked panic in the home penalty area as Dimi Konstantopoulos dropped a high ball at the feet of Leon Clarke, whose instinctive prod goalwards then fortuitously struck the Middlesbrough goalkeeper. But Boro seized on the loose ball and within seconds they had scored. Adam Clayton\u2019s pass utilised Albert Adomah\u2019s pace and Boro were lucky when Jelle Vossen\u2019s heavy touch from a right-wing cross set up Bamford. He curled his shot goalward from 20 yards and a slight deflection off Wigan defender Jason Pearce took it beyond the grasp of his goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi. Jonathan Woodgate plays the ball out of defence as Middlesbrough looked in control for long periods .

Despite Bamford stealing the limelight, however, Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka praised the effort of his team. \u2018It was a very important win and performance, especially second half.

Wigan were playing to stay up and I think in all games someone has something to play for, so every game will be difficult. \u2018Everyone was tired after Bournemouth and there were a lot of games in February and March.

Last October he took a formal leave of absence from Parliament, allowing him to resume his duties after giving three months\u2019 notice. New rules which came into effect last May provide a way for peers to retire permanently while keeping their titles and certain perks. But Janner requested an extension of his leave of absence instead of offering to stand down in the letter sent to a senior Lords official 12 days ago. A House of Lords spokesman confirmed the alleged paedophile signed the note himself, but could not confirm whether the handwriting below the signature was his. Simon Danczuk, the Labour politician who exposed the late Liberal MP Cyril Smith\u2019s horrific abuse of boys, said it was not right for Janner to stay in the Lords yet avoid court. \u2018If you are putting yourself forward to remain a legislator, then surely you are fit enough to be tested before the law,\u2019 he said. \u2018If he has got a leave of absence from the Lords, that implies that he may get well.

'I think that we share the same idea. We believe in young talent - this is great. Tim, Chris Ramsey and Les Ferdinand deserve credit for the young players that have arrived in the first team.' Sherwood trusted in the likes of Harry Kane and Nabil Bentaleb last season, and those players have continued to thrive under Pochettino. Asked if it was a gamble by Sherwood to give those youngsters a chance, Pochettino joked: 'The big gamble was to play Ryan Mason against Arsenal... I remember people said Pochettino is crazy for giving him his debut against Arsenal. 'But yes, I think their work was great. Tim deserves credit for that.' Pochettino predicts a difficult game, particularly given the form of Benteke.

Tessa Cunningham finds out. SUPER STEAMER . Swan SI9031N Steam Generator Iron, \u00a3279.99, swan-brand.co.uk . If you loathe ironing enough to splash out almost \u00a3300, then Swan\u2019s luxury model could be the one for you. It cut my ironing time by half. It\u2019s usually my least favouite chore, but when testing this one, I got to work in front of Poldark and was done within 20 minutes. Because all the water is in the separate 1,000ml generator tank, the iron itself is lightweight. The steam is forced out of the generator through a hose into the iron, shooting out at 90g per minute \u2014 twice as fast as conventional steam irons (think of the difference in power between jet-washing and using a hosepipe) \u2014 cutting through creases quicker. As well as being more powerful, it also produces twice as much steam, making shorter work of wrinkles. On the downside, despite the investment, you get only a two-year guarantee. 3/5 .

The big selling point of this pretty aqua blue iron is the precision tip, which means you can get really sharp creases flat with minimum elbow grease, making it perfect for shirts and trousers. I also love the vertical steam option, which means you can smooth creases from hanging fabrics, such as curtains, by holding the iron vertically 2 in away and pressing the steam button.

+{"article": "Getting the best price for your unwanted wares online can seem like a fine art, but researchers have found a simple trick that could see your bids soar. Economists plotted how much goods listed on eBay sold for and discovered that items with precise prices attract higher offers than those with round numbers, such as $1,000. In fact, sellers who end their price with \u201800\u2019 typically receive offers that are five to eight per cent lower than those with more specific prices. US researchers claim that exact prices of goods on eBay attract higher offers than round numbers. This chart shows that when the posted initial price is of a round number (the red dots), like $1,000, the average counteroffer is much lower than if it is a non-round number (the blue circles), like $1,079 . In terms of the study, the word 'odd' is used to represent an unusual number, and not the opposite of even. Competitive options for buyers and sellers can define a limit beyond which they will not go, but there is still a range of prices that fall within those limits, Professor of Strategic Management at University of Toronto, Joshua Gans, writes for The Conversation. Within that range, sellers are looking for a higher price while buyers would like a lower one, so each has an incentive to signal to the other their willingness to be a tough negotiator. Sometimes, however, sellers may want to send a signal they are willing to be less tough, such as when they are keen to sell an item quickly. One method is to lower their starting price, but this isn\u2019t always desirable. Sellers on eBay who end their price with \u201800\u2019 typically receive offers for their goods that are five to eight per cent lower than those with more specific prices, such as this watch example . While eBay is used for auctions, the bulk of its business comes from 'Buy it now' sales, such as this iPhone. The study found that prices that end in '00' as above are more likely to sell quickly, but may not attract the most lucrative counter offers from sellers . Researchers from Cornell University, eBay Research Labs and the University of California, Berkeley, have addressed the problem in a new paper. Researchers from Cornell University, eBay Research Labs and the University of California looked at pricing strategies within the confines of eBay\u2019s so-called 'negotiation platform'. Most trades on the site are listed for a \u2018Buy it now\u2019 price and the seller can give buyers the option of making them an alternative offer. For example, a seller of an iPhone may list a price of $1,000 (\u00a3660), and someone might come back with a counteroffer of $800 (\u00a3530). This could go on for about three rounds, in line with eBay rules, and could last up to a week. The study found that when the initial price is a round number, such as $1,000, the average counteroffer is between five and eight per cent lower than if it is a non-round number, like $1,079.

Molly Hennessey-Fiske, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times who has been covering proceedings against Durst, 71, after his mid-March arrest in Louisiana, received a letter purporting to have been written by the suspect in state prison. The letter, post-marked April 1st in Baton Rouge, specifically states that Durst 'said nothing about charges, crimes or trials' but rambles on about Durst's thoughts on life in southern California. Dick DeGuerin, Durst's lead attorney, said that the letter looked like his client's handwriting. Murder suspect Robert Durst has sent a bizarre letter, in which he mentions his taste for opera and pro football, to a Los Angeles Times reporter covering his case. Molly Hennessey-Fiske received the letter, which was addressed 'Hiya Holly' from a man purporting to be Robert Durst at a Louisiana state prison . Durst, who was arrested for the 2000 murder of his friend Susan Berman last month, pleaded not guilty to weapons charges on Thursday. Above, he is escorted to prison after his arraignment on March 17 . Hennessey-Fiske, a veteran reporter for the West Coast newspaper, is the outlet's Houston bureau chief and has been covering Durst's legal proceeding . 'Bob is his own person and he\u2019s writing letters to people. As long as they\u2019re not discussing the facts or legal plans or strategy, I don\u2019t have any problem with it,' Mr DeGuerin told The Los Angeles Times. Durst, who was heir to a vast real estate empire before becoming estranged from his family, was arrested last month for the suspected 2000 murder of his friend, writer Susan Berman, in Los Angeles. His letter to Hennessey-Fiske, her paper's Houston bureau chief, does not speak about on his impending extradition to California, but touches on various topics of conversation related to Los Angeles. In sloppy handwritten text with grammar mistakes, Durst spoke about places he lived in the city 'part-time' from 2008 to 2011. He said he 'hated LA traffic, which makes Houston look like a small town' before going on to say that his interests are 'opera and pro football'. Durst began the letter with an apparent mixing up of Hennesey-Fiske's first name by writing 'Hiya Holly'. Hiya Holly, . I used to read your biline, from 2008-2011 I lived part time in L.A., I had a great apt in 1100 Alta Loma and I had bought a great apt complex on Brynhurst. Sareb Kaufman was my broker. I loved watching the traffic come up La Cienaga and mush into Santa Monica, hated L.A. traffic which makes Houston seem like a small town. Used to breakfast at coffee whatever on Sunset.

The outlay on stroke research is little better, with 19p allocated from each \u00a310 spent on the health and social needs of patients. A study says the amount spent by the Government and charities studying dementia and strokes is \u2018still way too low\u2019. Just 11 per cent of research funding from he Government and charities into the UK\u2019s leading causes of death and disability was allocated to dementia, research has found . Despite extra cash pumped into the two diseases recently by government bodies, they remain underfunded given the economic and personal impact felt by millions of sufferers and their families, say researchers. In comparison to cancer and coronary heart disease they are still poor relations, according to calculations by Oxford University academics. The amount spent on cancer research is around 13 times higher than dementia, and almost six times more than stroke. The spend on heart disease is eight times that of dementia and triple the amount spent on stroke research, says the study published in the online journal BMJ Open. Researchers assessed central government and charity research expenditure in 2012 into the UK\u2019s leading causes of death and disability \u2013 cancer, coronary heart disease, dementia and stroke which together accounted for over half of all deaths. The combined amount of research funding allocated by the Government and charities to the four conditions came to \u00a3856million in 2012, almost two-thirds of which was allocated to cancer. Around one-fifth was devoted to coronary heart disease, while just 11 per cent was allocated to dementia and 7 per cent to stroke research. The study found a significant shift in funding since 2008, particularly after a commitment by the Coalition to new money for dementia research. But the sums allocated by charities have scarcely budged since 2008, possibly because they rely on public donations which may be affected by \u2018a form of ageism\u2019 where dementia and stroke are seen as inevitable only in the elderly. Research leader Professor Alastair Gray, of the Health Economic Research Centre at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, Oxford University, said overall research funding has not been cut but priorities had shifted. Almost two-thirds of research funding allocated by to the four conditions was allocated to cancer . Overall research spending by government bodies went up 20 per cent over the period, but there was a change in diseases that benefited. In 2012, \u00a3157million was spent on cancer research by government bodies, down from \u00a3267million in 2008. Prof Gray said: \u2018There was increasing recognition that expenditure on dementia should rise and this was reflected in the Coalition agreement. \u2018As a consequence less was spent on cancer because of the increasing emphasis on dementia and stroke, but these areas remain underfunded when compared with the burden of disease.\u2019 He said research funding was \u2018still way too low\u2019 in both diseases, especially for stroke. There are at least 800,000 dementia patients and 1.2million stroke victims needing health and social care each year", "summary": "Just 11 per cent of research funding is allocated to dementia .

Hidden cameras credited with a 25 per cent spike in speeding fines could be banned from motorways within months. The grey \u2018stealth\u2019 speed traps could be outlawed regardless of which party wins the general election, it has been suggested. New figures revealed at least 112,000 motorists were given fines or appeared in court for motorway offences last year \u2013 a quarter more than in the previous year. The increase has been put down to the introduction of \u2018smart motorways\u2019 which use the cameras, known as Hadecs, to police speed limits which are varied according to the driving conditions. This means many drivers are being given the minimum \u00a3100 fines despite driving under the national motorway speed limit of 70mph. The Conservatives are already moving to scrap the controversial cameras if an ongoing review criticises their use when it reports back in the summer. And Labour has pledged to repaint them yellow so they are easier for drivers to spot. The grey cameras are becoming an increasing threat to drivers as the number of smart motorways is due to increase four fold over the next 10 years to stretch across 800 miles. But Labour has said if it wins the election, it will issue new guidelines stipulating all motorway speed cameras are yellow and any existing grey ones will be painted. A party source told The Sunday Telegraph there was a loophole which allowed the grey cameras on major roads but not smaller roads. Most of the drivers were caught last year were caught on parts of the M25, M1, M4 and M5. Roads minister John Hayes, who ordered the Highways England review which is due to report back this summer, has said he was concerned about \u2018stealth cameras\u2019 and it was important drivers knew where they were. The use of the less noticeable cameras has led to claims that police are using stealth to catch out drivers . And a Conservative source yesterday said: \u2018We\u2019ve announced a review into this and if that review shows serious problems, we will take action to stop grey cameras.\u2019 Nearly 113,000 drivers were handed speeding penalties last year according to Freedom of Information statistics provided by 24 out of 45 police forces compared to close to 89,000 in 2013 and almost 55,000 in 2010. If caught by a speed camera, drivers face a minimum \u00a3100 fine and three points on their licence, or a court summons. Avon and Somerset police caught 23,086 motorists speeding in 2014 \u2013 a rise of 756 on the year before, and Nottinghamshire police fined 9,472 drivers - up from 3,808. And both forces have linked the rises to the use of the grey cameras.

Posing with dogs like these St Bernards has now been banned by the Swiss town of Zermatt . According to the Swiss Animal Protection Agency, the St Bernard dogs are being kept as tourist props by a company in the town that treats them very badly. The organisation has carried out investigations into the conditions the dogs were being kept since 2012 and published a report earlier this year. The report said said when they were not being taken out on excursions with tourists, the dogs were being kept locked up in confined conditions in an unheated condemned building for long periods of time. It claimed the dogs are left without food or water in foul smelling conditions and are not given enough exercise. When they are put on show, the dogs are kept in the cold for long periods of time and quickly grow tired while posing for photographs, sometimes with children riding on their backs.

Abandoned: Nearly two decades after its closure in 1996, the prison's halls have fallen eerily silent as the terrifying building slowly wastes away . Urban photographer Cindy Vasko captured the eerie silence and gradual decay of the once-overcrowded prison, which has become infamous for the medical testing that took place on its inmates. Prisoners in the jail were paid to test a variety of dangerous substances such as radioactive, hallucinogenic and toxic materials according to an author who saw the intense cruelty with his own eyes. They were deliberately 'exposed to pathogens that caused skin infections' such as herpes and the fungus which causes athlete's foot, Allen Hornblum claimed in his book Acres of Skin. He claims that between 1951 and 1974, these inmates acted as lab rats for over 30 pharmaceutical companies and government agencies.

The Homeless Period project hopes to shred the taboo around females living on the streets and their monthly cycle, and is encouraging people to donate tampons and towels to their local homeless shelter. A campaign video tells the story of a woman called Patricia, who slept rough on the streets of Brixton for six months and was forced to use makeshift sanitary products while menstruating. Scroll down for video . The Homeless Period campaign shines a spotlight on the plight of women living on the streets who don't have access to proper sanitary care during their periods . The team behind the campaign, Oliver Frost, Josie Shedden and Sara Bakhaty, wrote hard-hitting messages on cardboard boxes and photographed them on the streets of London . Using marker pens on cardboard boxes, the video writes the words of Patricia as she speaks them; focusing on how depressing she found it to not be able to access hygienic menstruation products. Patricia, who used to sleep on the 137 bus in Brixton Hill, says that when her period came, she would use 'ripped up cloth' as a sanitary towel. She has since been housed in a flat by South London homeless charity Spires. Among the cardboard placards held up are the words: 'Why does a woman have to rip up a cloth put between her to protect herself from bleeding?' Another is written with the words: 'I used to feel very depressed. It used to get me down.' The project was started by Oliver Frost, Josie Shedden and Sara Bakhaty, who met while working as interns at an advertising agency. The trio told FEMAIL that they began the campaign as a way of drawing attention to the amount of women who live on the streets after realising that society considered homelessness to be a 'male' issue. The campaign has prompted supporters to start their own collection boxes for tampons and sanitary towels: this (pictured above) was one of seven boxes collected in the workplace of Twitter user Sarah Wyatt . While homeless shelters receive funding for condoms, there is currently no government funding to supply charities with aid for sanitary products . They said that they were surprised to find that approximately 26 per cent of people who access homelessness services are women. Oliver Frost adds that periods seem to be a forgotten issue when it comes to living on the streets. 'It's that for many people, it's never even crossed their minds. As we say on the campaign site \"It doesn't bear thinking about\u2026 and that's the problem\".' While there is public funding for condoms to be supplied to homeless shelters, there is no financial aid for tampons and sanitary towels.

Grown-up children who are still in their family home are living the \u2018life of Riley\u2019 while unknowingly pushing their parents into debt, research shows. The so-called \u2018boomerang generation\u2019 are placing their parents under serious financial pressure by living at home even in their twenties and thirties. Now, debt organisations have warned that parents should not be afraid to ask their children for rent and money towards household bills amid fears the British \u2018stiff upper lip\u2019 makes them reluctant to admit when they need help. Experts claim grown-up children still living at home are often completely unaware that they are forcing their parents further into debt. Research revealed that as many as three-quarters of parents whose children are over 18 still have at least one child living with them. But only 42 per cent charge their children rent \u2013 with many admitting they feel too guilty and uncomfortable to ask. And even if they manage to ask their offspring to contribute, most charge them just \u00a3150 a month, compared with a typical UK rent of \u00a3750. On top of this, 80 per cent still buy their adult child\u2019s groceries, and 60 per cent cook dinner for them each night, according to the study by website TopCashBack. Parents expressed concern that their children could not afford to move out or were struggling to save for a house deposit. But the survey found the average salary of a grown-up child living at home is \u00a326,000, giving them a comfortable \u00a31,000 in disposable income each month. Half of parents who did charge rent admitted they relied on that money to cover living expenses such as groceries and utility bills. Food for thought: Eight out of ten parents survey said they still bought their children's groceries for them . In fact, a second study released today revealed that many debt-ridden parents are falling into deeper financial trouble because of their stay-at-home children. According to debt management specialist PayPlan, a third of parents in debt who have grown-up children living at home have been forced to take out a loan to meet the costs of housing and feeding them.

United Launch Alliance has unveiled a radical plans for reusable rocket named 'Vulcan' that is slated to take off in 2019. Vulcan will use new engines, mid-air recovery and a new upper stage aimed at enabling complex on-orbit manoeuvres . The aim of both SpaceX and ULA is to end US dependence on Russian-built rocket engines, but the technology has so far proven difficult. Russian-made RD-180 engines currently power ULA's Atlas rocket, but Congress banned further imports as part of trade sanctions enacted after Russia invaded Ukraine last year. ULA said the new rocket's first stage will be powered by a pair of liquid-oxygen and liquefied methane engines under development by Blue Origin. Chief Executive Officer Tory Bruno told a news conference in Colorado that the engines will be designed to return to Earth, so they can be refurbished and reflown. ULA's plan is to skip returning the whole booster, an approach favoured by rival SpaceX. It hopes to separate the engines after launch, inflate a heat shield around them and dispatch a helicopter to nab them mid-air. ULA's plan is to skip returning the whole booster, an approach favoured by rival SpaceX. It hopes to separate the engines after launch, inflate a heat shield around them and dispatch a helicopter to grab them mid-air . Reusing the engines will enable ULA to cut launch costs to about $100 million for a medium-lift booster and about $200 million for heavy-lift variants. This is roughly half the cost of ULA's current Delta 4 Heavy rocket. Initially, ULA will use its existing upper-stage Centaur engine but plans to introduce in 2023 an advanced motor that can recycle waste propellants. Hours after unveiling its next-generation 'Vulcan' rocket, United Launch Alliance (ULA), ran into its first problem - the rocket's name.

One of their fellow missile officers who was a target of the same investigation pleaded guilty to illegal drug use in January and was kicked out of the service, the Air Force said on Friday. 1st Lt Michael Alonso and 1st Lt Lantz Balthazar of Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana have been charged . Alonso and Balthazar are both members of the 12th Missile Squadron at the 341st Missile Wing at the base .

The Malmstrom missile wing operates 150 of the Air Force's 450 Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs. Launch officers are trained to operate ICBMs that are armed with nuclear warheads and are on constant alert for possible launch. Alonso was charged with violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for illegal possession, use and distribution of ecstasy and for 'conspiracy related to the drug offenses', according to Malmstrom spokesman Josh Aycock. Balthazar was charged with illegal possession, use and distribution of ecstasy and cocaine and for conspiracy related to the drug offenses.

When investigators examined the cellphones of two airmen at Edwards they found text messages to or from 11 other Air Force officers at several other air bases, including Malmstrom.

'I think he'll have a lot to still contribute to their sport and to that club. It's not a huge switch for him in terms of training venues. 'He'll still have his bumps and bruises, but the fact that he can continue to do that and probably get well rewarded for it, I can't blame him.'

Shareholders are reeling from big losses in their investments and pension funds as Barclays\u2019 share price has plunged since the financial crisis. Last year its profits dropped again by 21 per cent to \u00a32.3billion after it was hit by huge bills for wrongdoing. But yesterday chairman Sir David Walker defended the bank\u2019s decision to pay out \u00a31.86billion in bonuses, including packages of more than \u00a31million to 359 employees. Group chief executive Antony Jenkins saw his pay package more than triple to \u00a35.5million, after opting to accept a \u00a31.1million bonus. Facing criticism over the pay package, Sir David claimed the bank needed to pay \u2018competitively\u2019 to attract the best talent. But the argument received short shrift from investors who have seen Barclays fork out billions for various scandals while the share price has fallen from \u00a37 to just under \u00a32.60. During the height of the financial crisis in 2009 they fell to 47p, leaving many savers who sold their shares with huge losses. Shareholder Phil Clarke said: \u2018Employees should share the wealth created by great companies. My problem is what happens when there is no success \u2013 and there is limited success in this company.\u2019 Referring to Monty Python\u2019s \u2018what have the Romans ever done for us\u2019 sketch, Mr Clarke said: \u2018I\u2019d like to paraphrase Monty Python and ask what has all this \u201ctalent\u201d done for us? \u2018The answer is this talent has made losses for shareholders, destroyed value and dragged our reputation through the mud to the extent that banker has become a dirty word.

They said they are trying to trace the man - referred to as John Doe 29 - because they believe he may have 'critical information' to help them identify the victim and her whereabouts to rescue her. Investigators stressed the dark-haired man, believed to be between the ages of 30 and 45, is not suspected of carrying out abuse. Amanda Strickland, special investigator at the FBI, said: 'We are trying to stop further continued abuse of this child. We believe that it is still ongoing.' Police said the child was seen in one of the photographs wearing blue and white Nike velcro sneakers. They confirmed John Doe 29 has a tan complexion and was pictured wearing a silver ring on his left hand ring fingers. Other pictures appear to show a different hand with a ring on the right hand. Initial images of the unidentified adult male, John Doe 29, shown with a child were first recorded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in January of 2008. The pictures have been recently re-enhanced to try and identify the mystery man. The FBI released the appeal, with images of John Doe 29, and distinguishing features in a bid to get information . He is being sought as part of the FBI\u2019s Operation Rescue Me and Endangered Child Alert Program (ECAP) initiatives which aim to find abuse victims. The FBI has released a poster and blog appealing for any information about the man. People are asked to submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov or call the FBI\u2019s toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Investigators said a collection of photos were found showing the girl being abused, but in one which did not feature abuse John Doe is seen posing with the girl, and there is a close up of his hand (left).

Mr Osborne\u2019s announcement in the Budget last month means a 0.54p-per-litre duty rise planned for September 1 will not go ahead.

+{"article": "An eight-year-old boy from Layton, Utah, ran 33 miles just weeks before undergoing his fourth round of surgery on a malignant brain tumor. Lotatoa 'Lota' Ward just loves to run. Even before he was first diagnosed with a rare form of brain tumor - known as a mature Teratoma - back in October 2014, the young man was already running half marathons for charity, even raising $1,700 in September for two of his friends who suffer from spinal muscular atrophy. Though his diagnosis meant more time in the hospital, often in order to undergo some kind of surgical procedure, the tumor did nothing to stop Lota from hitting the trails. In fact, both he and his doctor say it has actually helped him through his treatments. 'I got this!' eight-year-old Lota Ward had already run several half marathons before being diagnosed with a brain tumor, and still continues to run despite his diagnosis . Most recently, Lota made the decision to attempt the 10th annual Antelope Island Buffalo Run just outside Salt Lake City, with the help of his running fanatic father. The 50-mile race was the eight-year-old's biggest challenge yet, but he tackled it like a trained professional, completing a total of 33 miles - longer than a full marathon - before his sore feet forced him to stop. 'I like running because it helps me a lot with hard times,' Lota told Runner's World. 'It doesn\u2019t make me feel scared going into brain surgery.' In recovery: Lota underwent his fourth brain surgery on Wednesday, April 1, and while the Ward family remains optimistic, the fight is not over yet . 'I like running because it helps me a lot with hard times': Lota's hobby has become a source of strength for him in the face of several brain sugeries . Shortly after his diagnosis last October, Lota underwent two initial brain surgeries to help drain spinal fluid and to remove some of the tumor. However, due to the risk of stroke, doctor's were unable to complete the latter. Lota later went to see doctors for his three month check-up and was given devastating news: the tumor that they originally believed to be benign had grown aggressively. A subsequent biopsy lead to a new diagnosis - Lota has a Non-Germinomatous Germ-cell tumor, a malignant form of brain tumor. Luckily for the Ward family, the tumor was not untreatable. But Lota was going to be in for a fight. As tough as things became, however, Lota never stopped running. After every surgery, he would be up and walking within hours, ready to get out on the road once again. Reaching the peak: Lota was running before doctor's told him of his brain tumor. He had even ran a half marathon in aid of spinal muscular atrophy . Proud papa: Lota's father Keith Ward is also an avid runner and accompanied his son on the 50-mile race . Lota's parents were initially concerned, but their son's neurosurgeon, who also happens to be a trial runner, set their mind at ease.

+{"article": "It is seen as extremely rude in most human societies, but it appears apes also use whispers to pass on information they do not want others to hear. Gibbons - better known for their deafening songs that reverberate around the forests they inhabit - have been found to regularly use the secretive form of communication. The apes, which are found in the forest of south east Asia, produce a variety of soft call types, known as 'hoos', that are almost inaudible to the human ear. Scroll down for video . Lars gibbons like this one in Khao Yai National Park Thailand use soft 'hoo' calls that are similar to whispers . Yet scientists have found the animals use these whispers to communicate specific information to each other about predators, foraging and when meeting neighbours. The researchers found that predator 'hoos' in particular were produced at frequencies well below the threshold of hearing for eagles and other birds of prey. A dictionary that decodes the calls produced by gibbons is being developed by scientists. Researchers at Wisconsin University in Madison have been using computer algorithms to analyse the whoops and songs produced by the apes. Gibbons singing usually consists of a crescendo of notes, particularly in response to predators. This usually starts with a series of soft 'hoo' noises that are only audible at close range but this rapidly grows to become much louder. In most studied cases these songs are produced in response to predators but they also duet together in social song. This suggests the quiet calls were designed to alert other gibbons nearby without alerting the raptors. Similarly biologists studying lar gibbons found they used a different whisper call to when a tiger or leopard was in the area. Dr Esther Clarke, who led the research at the University of Durham, said the findings could also help to provide valuable clues about human speech evolved and perhaps even why humans began using whispers. She told Mail Online: '(Hoo calls) have been overlooked in favour of the more conspicuous songs. 'We just didn't know they were using context-specific calls at close range. 'It opens up the possibility that their vocal repertoire is much larger than we previously imagined.' She added: 'These animals are extraordinarily vocal creatures and give us the rare opportunity to study the evolution of complex vocal communication in a non-human primate. 'In the future, gibbon vocalisations may reveal much about the processes that shape vocal communication, and because they are an ape species, they may be one of our best hopes at tracing the evolution of human communication.' Gibbons have one of the loudest calls in the natural world, creating whoops that can travel for miles through the dense forests where they live. Most research until now has concentrated on their loud songs which the animals use to communicate with each other over long distances. However, Dr Clarke and her team, whose work is published in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, decided to focus on the softer hoo call types. While these calls have been known about since", "summary": "Biologists at Durham University spent four months recording gibbon calls . They recorded gibbons making 450 'hoo' calls from 25 animals that were impossible to distinguish with the human ear and were often inaudible . Each call was found to relate to different contexts like foraging, meeting neighbours, singing to mates or warning others about a predator nearby . Hoos about birds of prey were the quietest so not to alert the predators ."}

The former Newcastle boss is ready to fend off big-money bids for his in-demand stars like Bolasie and defender Scott Dann - but conceded 'every player has a price'.

Anyone who rings me up will get a proper price. It's only our second year in the Premier League so it's understandable (if players are undervalued). Bolasie celebrates after netting for Palace, as he has begun to add goalscoring to his all-round game . Bolasie scored a hat-trick against Sunderland a few weeks ago, and is attracting the attention of top clubs . 'You need to put your credentials there every week.

And Prince William and his wife Kate's decision to use St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London, over public care offered by the NHS was yesterday backed by the Prime Minister.

The wing has a separate entrance from the rest of the hospital, making it easier to provide security and a measure of privacy to the couple, who could receive a visit from the Queen. The public part of the hospital has seen a surgical ward closed to new admissions for the last 11 days because eight patients were found to be carrying a potentially dangerous microorganism. The hospital said today that three of these patients developed infections and have since recovered after treatment with antibiotics. It added that a \u2018deep cleaning\u2019 of the ward is underway and enhanced screening is being put in place. Mr Cameron's son Ivan, who had cerebral palsy and epilepsy, tragically died aged just six at the hospital in February 2009.

Dino Maglio, who is on trial in Padua, northern Italy, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison on Tuesday after the girl reported being drugged and raped while staying at his home. Prosecutors said Maglio spiked a glass of Baileys liqueur the girl was drinking with a tranquilliser pill. Maglio claimed sex with the girl, who was under-age at the time, was consensual but admitted he was \u2018stupid\u2019 to spike her drink. Boris Dubini, who represents the teenager, says Maglio's claim that the sex was consensual was nonsense given the tranquilliser he gave her turned her into a 'rag doll' and she couldn't resist.

The Investigative Reporting Project Italy (IRPO) carried out a year-long investigation into Maglio, collecting 14 testimonies from women who claimed they were assaulted by him after using the host-a-traveller website to arrange accommodation.

It is believed that Maglio had told one alleged victim he closed his profile because he had so many positive reviews he had to open a new one. The IRPO\u2019s investigation revealed a man who made himself seem like a fun and fast-living host.

A headteacher who secretly tried to use a school chequebook to pay for thousands of pounds worth of work to be carried out at her family home has been jailed. Married mother-of-two Sian Harkin, 54, abused her position of authority by signing cheques totalling \u00a330,000 to her builder claiming the work was to be carried out at Llwyncelyn Primary School in Porth, Wales. Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard that not only did she use the chequebook of Llwyncelyn Primary when she was headteacher there, but also continued to use it when she moved schools. Harkin claimed the money was to be used to build a rain shelter for waiting parents at Llwyncelyn but the proposed work, which never materialised, was never ratified by governors. Instead, work was carried out at her home in Pontypridd, which she shares with her bank manager husband Anthony and their two children. Rachel Knight, prosecuting, said Harkin skipped procedures and instead issued cheques, even forging the deputy head's name in order to cash one in person. She told the court: 'Despite being seconded to a second school she continued to write cheques from the previous school. 'She took it upon herself to dip into school funds when there was no work done at the school. 'She abused her position of trust. She had significant financial responsibility but defrauded the school and thereby the community.' Ms Knight told the court that cowboy builder Lee Slocombe had carried out \u00a380,000 worth of work at Harkin's home in Pontypridd over an 18-month period from November 2012. Labelled a fraudster and a conman who swindled thousands from victims, Slocombe was jailed for 43 months earlier this year for fraud. In total, Harkin signed six cheques to Slocombe over a six-month period. In August 2013, she gave him a cheque for \u00a36,720, which she claimed in the school books was for a gazebo at Llwyncelyn School, but the cheque bounced as there was no second signatory. She signed another one in September of the same year for \u00a35,000, which was cashed at Cash Converters, in Aberdare, by one of Slocombe's employees. Since there was no second signatory on that one either, staff phoned the school and spoke to Harkin. 'She said the cheque was genuine and that it could be drawn,' said Ms Knight.

The problem affects the 2005 to 2008 models of the Mini Cooper and Cooper S. BMW says the air bag may not work properly because of a error that might prevent the vehicles' mat detection system from sensing a passenger sitting in the front seat during a severe crash. BMW has announced that 2005 to 2008 models of the Mini Cooper and Cooper S will need to be recalled due to problems with the passenger detection system that could leave those in the car without an airbad . BMW told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it has been notified of one minor injury linked to the defect. To repair the problem, BMW will replace the detection mats in the affected models for free. The recall of the mats, which are manufactured in Germany, will begin May 1.

But the row showed no sign of abating as further details of the claims levelled against the 86-year-old Labour life Peer were made public. The decision not to charge Lord Janner last week despite evidence of 22 offences against nine victims was justified because Mrs Saunders said experts agreed that the former Leicester West MP was in such poor health due to advanced Alzheimer\u2019s Disease. But she also ruled that he should have been charged three times before in 1991, 2002 and 2007 but was left off the hook.

The ComRes survey of 4,000 undecided voters found a slim majority have been more impressed with the performance of the Prime Minister than that of Ed Miliband during the Election campaign. A separate poll of marginal seats by the former Tory treasurer Lord Ashcroft suggests that Ukip\u2019s vote is being squeezed in key constituencies as election day approaches. A ComRes survey of 4,000 undecided voters across the UK found a slim majority have been more impressed with the performance of Prime Minister David Cameron than that of Ed Miliband during the Election campaign . It also suggests Education Secretary Nicky Morgan is set to hold her marginal seat in Loughborough. Today\u2019s ComRes survey, for ITV\u2019s Good Morning Britain show, found that 37 per cent of floating voters have been impressed with Mr Cameron\u2019s performance on the campaign trail so far, compared with 31 per cent who think Mr Miliband has done well. Nigel Farage was just behind on 30 per cent. Meanwhile, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, has impressed 21 per cent of voters on the back of her strong performance in last week\u2019s televised leaders\u2019 debate. Ms Sturgeon appears to have been biting her nails . Is the pressure starting to tell on Nicola Sturgeon? From the look of her hands as she met her party\u2019s candidates in Aberdeen yesterday, it looks like the 44-year-old SNP leader has been struck by a bout of behind-the-scenes finger-chewing. Mr Cameron also suffered less badly from negative appraisals. While 49 per cent said they were \u2018unimpressed\u2019 with the Prime Minister\u2019s performance, 54 per cent said the same of Mr Miliband. But the poll also shows that politicians have yet to shift many of the undecided voters whose support is likely to be critical in next month\u2019s election. Just 12 per cent of the group said they had made up their minds since they were last polled in March. Another 48 per cent said they had a \u2018good idea\u2019 who they would back, while 16 per cent said they were \u2018starting to lean towards a certain party\u2019. Almost a quarter (24 per cent) said they were \u2018completely undecided who to vote for\u2019. Floating voters identified the NHS as the most important issue, followed by immigration, the cost of living and the economy. Meanwhile, Lord Ashcroft\u2019s survey of Labour-Tory marginals suggests Mr Cameron still has a lot of work to do just to hold on to the seats he won in 2010. Of ten Tory-held marginal constituencies, Labour is ahead in four seats, with the parties tied in another. Mr Cameron also suffered less badly from negative appraisals, with 49 per cent of undecided voters saying they were \u2018unimpressed\u2019 with his performance and 54 per cent saying the same of Mr Miliband (pictured) Lord Ashcroft said the study showed Ukip\u2019s vote was being squeezed since the same seats were polled last year. \u2018The Ukip share had fallen significantly \u2013 by up to 10 points \u2013 in nine of the ten", "summary": "Survey of 4,000 undecided voters found slim majority favour Prime Minister . 37% of floating voters impressed with Cameron while 31% with Miliband .

From these sores they claim sprout colorful fibers that cannot be described and, according to one person, 'cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable or mineral.' That person is Joni Mitchell, who claims to have suffered from Morgellons for most of her life, and who has recently been hospitalized after she was found unconscious at her home.

The Centers for Disease Control reports that the symptoms are very similar to those of mental illness, from the sensation of crawling and bugs and parasites to the concept of false beliefs. The CDC even conducted a study at one point, and found that most people who claim to suffer from the disease were likely just experiencing anxiety, depression or, in some cases, issues with substance abuse. Mitchell admitted to briefly having problems with addiction in a Reader's Digest interview, saying; 'I didn\u2019t get involved for years, and then I went on Rolling Thunder and they asked me how I wanted to be paid, and I ran away to join the circus: Clowns used to get paid in wine \u2013 pay me in cocaine because everybody was strung out on cocaine.'

The 50-year-old needs just two more wins to achieve the fourth promotion of a career that has been mostly spent rescuing clubs from relegation after goals by Kieran Agard, Joe Bryan and Aaron Wilbraham clinched a local derby victory.

But whether it's through botched surgeries, poor lifestyles, stressful career lows or shattered relationships, certain stars have taken a quicker turn for the worst than their contemporaries. From child actors that swiftly deteriorated in the lime light or golden Hollywood stars that have greyed with time, FEMAIL rounds up the celebrities that have aged terribly . LINDSAY LOHAN . Lindsay Lohan at the age of 18 in 2005 (left) and now at the age of 28 (right) The child actress shot to fame as a freckle-faced darling in classics such as The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, but despite showing much promise, the now 28-year-old began to experience regular run-ins with the law and started appearing on headlines for the wrong reasons. A few rehab stints, DUI charges and parole violations later and it seems like Lohan's fast-paced lifestyle is finally catching up to her. The star has recently began showing rapid signs of ageing, including lines and over-plumped lips. JOHNNY DEPP . Johnny Depp at the age of 39 in 2003 (left) and now at 51 (right) Johnny Depp shot to stardom as a teen idol due to his dark and mysterious looks and acting versatility, which scored him roles in films such as Edward Scissorhands and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Having dated a slew of beautiful it-girls such as Winona Ryder and Kate Moss, before having two children with long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, the 51-year-old actor is now married to 29-year-old actress Amber Heard. It seems the series of high-profile relationships and a long-term smoking habit has taken its toll on the actor, as he now exhibits duller skin and lacklustre hair. KATE MOSS . Supermodel Kate Moss at the age of 30 in 2004 (left), now at the age of 41 (right) Kate Moss was, and still remains, one of the most famous supermodels in the world, rising to fame in the Nineties after she was discovered at the tender age of 14. The now 41-year-old ushered in the supermodel movement 'heroin chic', and popularised waif models at the time. However, 20 years of drinks and partying have seemingly aged the supermodel, who only celebrated her 41st birthday in January - but exhibits fine lines and dull skin. BRAD PITT . Brad Pitt at the age of 42 in 2006 (left) and now at 51 (right) Brad Pitt made his breakout role as a denim-sporting, cowboy hat-toting, golden-skinned bandit in Thelma & Louise in 1991, and quickly gained celebrity for his dashing looks. The actor has since been regularly cited as one of the world's most attractive men, and the now 51-year-old has been with wife Angelina Jolie since 2005, with whom he has six children with.

+{"article": "The oldest human footprints left behind on a muddy lakeside 1.5 million years ago appear to have been made by prehistoric hunting parties. Researchers examining the site where a series of tracks left by a barefooted early human in Ileret, northwest Kenya, have now found a total of 99 prints. They now believe that they belong to groups who all passed over the soft mud at the same time - perhaps even stalking some of the other animals whose prints are also preserved in the mud. The distinct tracks found at Ileret in Kenya (like the one above) are the oldest human footprints in the world . It provides some of the strongest evidence yet that the human ancestors that left the prints - Homo erectus - were sophisticated hunters. While their ancestors before them may have eaten meat they scavenged or from small prey they were able to catch, hunting parties suggests Homo erectus went after larger prey. Early human ancestors may have evolved to throw spears allowing them to hunt around two million years ago, a new study has suggested. Research by Dr Neil Roach has shown that the that the skeletons of Homo erectus had shoulders and collar bones that would have allowed them to hurl sticks accurately and powerfully. This would have enabled Homo erectus to become a proficient hunter, able to throw weapons like spears and rocks at potential prey. Dr Neil Roach, a palaeoanthropologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York who led the study, said the prints appeared to have been made by adult males. He said that the tracks represent groups hunting for antelope or wildebeest. Speaking to Nature, Dr Roach said: 'What we can say is that we have a number of individuals, probably males, that are moving across a lake shore in a way that is consistent with how carnivores move. The researchers, who presented their findings at the annual meeting of the Paleoanthropology Society in San Francisco, hope to test their conclusions by studying the movement patterns of modern day subsistence hunters in Africa. The tracks in Ileret were first revealed in 2009 after researchers at Bournemouth University and Rutgers\u2019 Koobi Fora Field School in Kenya, announced they had discovered a collection of 22 human prints. This deep print appears to have been left by a male Homo erectus that may have been part of a hunting party . Analysis of the print tracks (above) showed they had been made by a early human that walked much like we do . The prints were preserved in sediment that had once been the shoreline of an ancient lake.

Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson and Jambos defender Alim Ozturk have both rounded on their city rivals for refusing a public display of acknowledgement for the Championship title winners at Easter Road. Rangers lined up to applaud Hearts on to the Ibrox pitch when the teams played just over a week ago, and Queen of the South and Alloa did the same. But Stubbs, who admitted that the police hadn't been consulted, insisted that the threat of unrest \u2013 not a lack of respect \u2013 was responsible for the decision. Hibs boss Alan Stubbs feared unrest among fans if his side formed a guard of honour for city rivals Hearts . 'It's been turned into a lack of respect,' said the Hibs boss. 'Well, I rang Robbie the day after they won the league and congratulated them and said they had been the best team over the season and that it had been fully deserved. 'My players have come out in the press and said Hearts have been the best team. I think that's respect. 'The reason why we decided against it is because there are two sets of rivals fans, it's a derby, there's going to be a lot of animosity. You are going to have one set of fans that will be jovial because they've won the league, you'll have one that are not going to be happy about that. 'The most important thing is the safety of the fans and that's the main reason we've done it. We don't want to start the game on a bad foot, that's the reason we've done it. Not a lack of respect. It's a respect for fans. It's a decision we spoke about and we feel as if it's the right decision for both sets of fans. 'We can't let this get out of control for the reasons we've done it. We've seen silly things happen over the years and we don't want to get into that state because of a guard of honour. 'If I won the league and we were at Tynecastle, I wouldn't expect a guard of honour there. We don't turn around and say because one team has done it every other team has to. I wouldn't expect it. 'Because you know it only takes on person. Before you know it, you've got a situation on your hands that could have been prevented. We want the derby to be spoken about for the right reasons, not the wrong reasons \u2013 and it only takes one idiot.' Agreeing that it would be unthinkable for either Old Firm team to offer their oldest rivals a guard of honour in a similar situation, Stubbs said: 'So why's it any different here?

Kate Winslet is to face a battle with Natural England over plans to build a 550ft-long wall to protect her \u00a33.25 million beachside home from flooding and erosion. The multi BAFTA-winning actress, 39, wants to install a boulder and gravel seawall along the West Sussex coast to protect her property. But Natural England has recommended the planning application be refused - citing concerns it may result in the 'direct loss' of natural habitat designated for rare and vulnerable birds, trees and wetlands. The Academy Award-winning actress bought the eight bedroom house in West Sussex in 2013. She lives there with her husband, Richard Branson's nephew Ned Rocknroll, and her three children.

'Furthermore it should be considered that the footpath is liable to become dangerous in areas without protection from further erosion of the existing banks.' A spokesman for Natural England said: 'Our objection centres on the fact that the application site falls within land which is protected as a Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Ramsar and Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The research points out that at Poundland shoppers can buy a 250g box of Kellogs Cornflakes for \u00a31, while at Tesco they can buy a 750g box of the cereal for the same price.

These include a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie, which is \u00a32.20 in Sainsbury's and a 24 pack of Jaffa Cakes, which are \u00a32.29 in Tesco.

No one in Britain lives as much as 70 miles from the sea. Our coastline of 10,800 miles is longer than India\u2019s (Unbelievable? Try measuring the ins and outs of Scotland\u2019s). Many people in the U.S., Russia or China never see the sea in their lives. But most of us are saturated with it in childhood \u2014 in holiday homes and beach huts with deckchairs and sandy sandwiches, shivering and occasionally baking in the capricious arms of the sea. People are drawn back to the sea in their retirement, staring once more and feeling as they did as children. Our attachment to the coast is strong. Popular television series explore it, gliding over the cliffs by helicopter as if in a dream. Coastal paths are never short of walkers. Barkham\u2019s book is written to celebrate 50 years of Enterprise Neptune, the National Trust\u2019s campaign to save our coastal beauties from being spoiled \u2014 by purchasing them. Beginning in 1965, the Trust has by now acquired 742 miles of coast. Our attachment to the coast is strong. Popular television series explore it, gliding over the cliffs by helicopter as if in a dream and coastal paths are never short of walkers . Naturally, the National Trust mainly bought up the wilder shores to preserve their wildness, which is why you won\u2019t find any popular resorts among them. This suits Barkham\u2019s taste, because his childhood holidays were partly spent on Scolt Head Island, off the emptiest part of the Norfolk coast \u2014 an island with only one hut, where his parents chose to stay. He goes back to stay on Scolt alone, evoking not only its emptiness, but also its dreamy union of sea and land \u2014 good for meditation for a night or two, though not for a fortnight\u2019s holiday. He also waxes fondly on the loneliness of beaches and headlands. He even has a love affair with Orford Ness, Suffolk, a radar spying station kept top-secret and out of bounds by the Ministry of Defence for 80 years. He likes the spookiness of its decaying laboratories, toxic testing sites and the tales that were told about the secret base called Cobra Mist, which was rumoured to have housed the UFO that supposedly landed in nearby Rendlesham Forest in 1980. But who would want to visit the Ness now we can, heaven alone knows. Barkham sails keenly for two of the inhabited islands off the coast. Lindisfarne and its attendant islands were places of monkish contemplation for Saints Aidan and Cuthbert. Lundy, with a permanent population of 28 get-away-from-it enthusiasts, in summertime adds 60,000 visitors, who come to see the puffins. He loves the cliffs and chasms off Cornwall. Walking the tops of them is, he says, \u2018the next best thing to flying\u2019. When I was young, we stared with fascination at another mysterious island because no one was allowed to land on it.", "summary": "As an island race, no one in Britain lives more than 70 miles from the sea .

A serial thief who stole \u00a330,000 worth of irreplaceable Rolex watches, jewellery and iPhones from wealthy gym members has today been jailed for 32 months. Rajul Patel, 35, targeted wealthy victims as they worked out at Virgin Active health clubs across London after obtaining memberships using the stolen driving licence of a gym-going doctor. In one spree, Patel stole a man's platinum wedding ring, first-year anniversary ring, and a 40th birthday bracelet, Isleworth Crown Court was told. He was finally stopped when another gym member spotted him returning to the changing room lockers just five minutes after beginning his workout. When challenged about the items he was removing, he replied: 'Do you not trust me?' Patel tried to escape arrest by running from the gym into a nearby shop but was discovered hiding behind a clothes rack. Prosecutor Paul Casey said a conservative estimate of the goods stolen during the two-month spree, not taking into account the items unreturned, was 'between \u00a325,000-\u00a330,000.' Mr Casey told the court: 'The facts of these burglaries begin with the identity documents of a Doctor Ritesh Sharma being stolen from his gym that he attended on the 12th of September 2014. 'There followed a number of thefts with Dr Sharma's identity being used by this defendant. 'It seems they bore a physical resemblance and he was able to use that photo identity before he was eventually apprehended on the 8th of November. 'On that date he attended the Kensington Active gym using Dr Sharma's identity. 'It was shown to staff and he was told he would need to pay an additional \u00a325, as this particular branch was a premiere gym.' Mr Casey told the court that Dr Sharma almost came under police suspicion in relation to the thefts - such was the use of his identity cards. Patel took a Samsung Galaxy mobile phone worth \u00a3200 and a pair of Bose headphones, also worth \u00a3200, belonging to Peter Culak, at Virgin Active in Wimbledon on September 13. At the Clapham branch Patel grabbed a brand-new iPhone six worth \u00a3600, a \u00a31,500 ring, a Rolex Oyster watch worth \u00a32,500, a \u00a3150 designer purse, three credit cards and \u00a3910 in cash belonging to Oliver Budworth. Indian-born Patel stole Horace Treviss's Cartier watch worth \u00a36,000, his \u00a31,200 Cartier ring and a second ring by Bvlgari worth \u00a31,300, as well as \u00a350 cash when he was working out at the chain's Wandsworth gym on October 24. Patel targeted the Virgin Active in Notting Hill on November 4, taking Nicholas Little's \u00a3500 iPhone as well as \u00a350 cash. Hours later he went to the Mayfair branch, taking Robby Surya's \u00a32,000 bag containing a \u00a3500 iPhone, and \u00a38,000 Rolex watch, a \u00a3100 jacket, a driving licence and three credit cards.

The 22-year-old Kim, who won her maiden LPGA Tour title at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic in February, struck a superb second shot to six feet on her final hole and knocked in the putt to card a seven-under-par 65 at Mission Hills Country Club. That left the Korean at seven-under 137 in the first women's major of the season, two ahead of overnight leader Morgan Pressel, who followed her opening 67 with a 72. Lydia Ko looks for her ball in the water on the 18th hole during the second round . Long-hitting American Brittany Lincicome, the 2009 champion at Mission Hills, fired a 68 to finish at four under, level with Korean Jenny Shin (69) and Scotland's Catriona Matthew (69). Kim, who had returned a 72 in the first round, birdied four of her first nine holes to claw her way up the leaderboard. She picked up further shots at the 11th and 15th before making her only bogey of the day at the 16th, then ended her round in eagle style.

+{"article": "Binge drinking as a teenager can cause long-lasting damage to the brain well into adulthood, a new study has warned. This is because drinking excessive amounts of alcohol when young can damage the brain and cause permanent changes to DNA. This, in turn, can put teenagers at risk of anxiety disorders and alcoholism, researchers found. Alcohol changes genes in brain cells, which stop the cells developing connections between them, altering behaviour, they said. However, they discovered a cancer drug may reverse the damage. Binge drinking as a teenager can cause long-lasting damage into adulthood, putting young people at risk of anxiety disorders and alcoholism . Professor Subhash Pandey, of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, explained that binge drinking during the teenage years disrupts the brain's normal development. He said: 'Our study provides a mechanism for how binge-drinking during adolescence may lead to lasting changes that result in increased anxiety and alcoholism in adults.' Intermittent alcohol exposure 'degrades the ability of the brain to form the connections it needs to during adolescence, he explained. 'The brain doesn't develop as it should, and there are lasting behavioural changes associated with this,' he added. As part of the study, Professor Pandey and his team carried out lab experiments on 28-day-old rats to investigate how alcohol would affect their brain development. They were given alcohol for two days on, then two days off, which was repeated over 13 days. Rats exposed to alcohol showed changes in behaviour that lasted into adulthood, long after the exposure to alcohol ended. Alcohol causes changes in the DNA in brain cells. However, researchers discovered a cancer drug may be able to reverse the changes . They showed increased anxiety-like behaviours and drank more alcohol in adulthood. When brain tissue from the area of the brain called the amygdala was examined, rats given alcohol showed changes to their DNA, known as epigenetic changes. Professor Pandey explained that epigenetic changes are chemical modifications of DNA, or of the proteins around which DNA is wound, like thread on a spool. Modification of these proteins, which are called histones, can change how loosely or tightly the DNA is wound. Many of us enjoy a chilled glass of wine or a cold beer after a hard day at work. But while the majority of people believe their drinking habits are under control, one in five young professionals now considers themselves to have a problem with alcohol, a survey found. A new poll laying bare the public's attitudes to drinking found nearly half of young workers think it is acceptable to regularly get drunk on a night out, compared to a fifth of the general population. It also revealed the risky effects of drinking, as young people admitted to forgetting how they got home, driving themselves home drunk or getting in a car with someone they knew was intoxicated. Genes that lie within DNA that is tightly wrapped around the histones are less active than if the DNA is loosely wrapped.

Facing obstacles: John and Carlos were told by their previous modeling agencies to act more 'butch' and delete their joint Instagram account, where they often pose kissing and holding hands . 'There is an unspoken rule of modeling, at least in NYC \u2014 even if you get signed as an out model \u2014 the first thing any agent tells you to do is to dress butch and talk about girls so no one \"finds out\",' John added. In fact, when the couple first got together over three years after meeting at a casting call, it was because Carlos became interested in John when he realized he might be gay \u2014 which he says was unusual. Soon the pair became well-known on the New York City party scene, getting snapped with celebrities like model Gigi Hadid and Paris Hilton, DJing at trendy clubs, and even curating art shows. 'We used to sneak into parties we weren\u2019t invited to at all and try to take pictures of famous people,' John said. 'Now we\u2019re invited and covering it and DJing.' Looking good: The couple explained that though the modeling industry is filled with well-groomed, well-dressed men, most male models are straight . Party hard: Jarlos is well known on the New York party circuit and has been pictured with Gigi Hadid, Paris Hilton, and Harry Styles .

Craig Davies bagged a brace after Eidur Gudjohnsen hammered the Trotters in front, with 62-time England international Emile Heskey proving his worth by laying on two assists.

Noone cut in from his left flank and fired just wide before the Bluebirds had their best chance to open the scoring. A Whittingham corner landed at the feet of striker Eoin Doyle, who spun and shot, but he was denied by Barry Bannan on the Bolton line amid cries of handball. Just when the Trotters seemed to be pegged back, they had a chance of their own when Dorian Dervite rose highest to meet Bannan's corner, but Alex Revell was on hand to head away the goalbound effort.

The couple left behind two daughters - a teen who is Phillips' biological child and Lachaux's stepdaughter and a sickly three-year-old toddler - in their suburban Las Vegas home because the rental vehicle was full. Authorities say Lachaux reportedly impregnated the teen, who gave birth at home without any medical care to a now four-month-old girl. She struggled to care for herself and her three-year-old sister who had medical problems while pregnant and home alone. But the teen said she was too scared to call for help even after the food and medication left by their mother ran out.

'Fugitives can psychologically confine their victims without physically being present.' The case first unraveled on April 1 when the teen was seen at McCarran International Airport with a very sick baby. The infant was hospitalised in an extremely critical condition for severe malnutrition and hypothermia resulting from surviving on watered-down baby formula. In an interview with police, the teenager described the abuse at home in detail, claiming Lachaux raped her without her mother knowing. For the past five years, the family had lived in North Las Vegas, but the children rarely went outside and were home-schooled.

A franchise record holder for defensive touchdowns and interception returns for touchdowns, the forced fumble specialist lies third on the all-time list for interceptions with 36. He started 152 of 156 games, but finished the past two seasons on injured reserve after tearing his right triceps. Tillman said the chance to work with Rivera - a former Bears player who worked as defensive co-ordinator from 2004-6 - was too good to turn down.

Bruce said: 'When you're a goalkeeper the one thing the Premier League does is highlight mistakes and unfortunately Allan will be the first to admit he has been disappointed over the last couple of weeks. Allan McGregor (right) could lose his place in the side after a pair of blunders in Hull's recent defeats . 'I haven't made a decision one way or the other, but Allan is a very, very good goalkeeper.

They fell in love and got married in Hawaii when she was already pregnant with their son Brandon. A few years later they welcomed a second son together, Brody. Scroll down for video . Former couple: Bruce Jenner and Linda Thompson (seen together) met at the Playboy mansion. They fell in love and got married when she was already pregnant with their first son, Brandon. They later had another son . As Linda wrote on the Huffington Post, 'Those were the happiest days of my life. I had a wonderful husband, who was the most athletic, high-spirited, energetic, easygoing, manly man imaginable. I had two beautiful, healthy baby boys. I had two great stepchildren. Life was just about as good as it gets.' Bruce was travelling the world doing paid appearances and lived a glamorous life in Malibu, frequently seeing his elder son, Burt, and daughter, Casey, from his first marriage. But when Brody was 18 months old and Brandon was three, Bruce revealed to Linda the secret that he finally told the world Friday night. She was, she insists, blindsided. With a 'somber look' Bruce told Linda - who had braced herself for the revelation of perhaps an affair - that he identified as a woman. 'What do you mean you identify as a woman?' she recalled asking. 'What does that mean? And just as he told Diane Sawyer, Bruce told his wife of four plus years that as long as he could remember, he felt wrong with the reflection staring back at him in the mirror. According to Linda, her handsome husband told her, 'I have lived in the wrong skin, the wrong body, my whole life. It is a living hell for me, and I really feel that I would like to move forward with the process of becoming a woman, the woman I have always been inside.' She insists she never saw it coming and there were no signs.

Cristiano Ronaldo was back to his brilliant, unplayable best as he scored five goals in Real Madrid's 9-1 rout of Granada on Sunday, among them an eight-minute hat-trick. That treble was Ronaldo's 31st career hat-trick and his 24th in La Liga, equalling Lionel Messi's record in the competition. It also took his formidable goal tally for the Bernabeu club to 299 in 287 matches. Against Granada, Ronaldo has now scored 11 times in just eight matches. But, compared with some, they have got off quite lightly. We take a look at the clubs who have suffered the most at the hands of the Portuguese wonder. Cristiano Ronaldo scored five goals as Real Madrid thrashed Granada 9-1 on Sunday afternoon . The Portuguese superstar was simply irresistible as Real ran riot at the Bernabeu . SEVILLA - 18 Goals in 12 matches . There's no denying it - Ronaldo just loves playing against Sevilla, whose defence must be terrified every time they see him. Three of those La Liga hat-tricks have come against the team from Andalusia - he scored triples in a 6-2 win at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in May 2011, a 4-1 success at the Bernabeu in February 2013 and a 7-3 thrashing in October of the same year. But they aren't even Ronaldo's best return. He scored four goals, including a 12-minute hat-trick, in another 6-2 win in Seville back in May 2011. Most recently, Ronaldo scored twice in Real's 2-0 UEFA Super Cup win over Sevilla in August. Ronaldo celebrates with James Rodriguez after scoring in Real's 2014 UEFA Super Cup win over Sevilla . ATLETICO MADRID - 15 Goals in 20 matches . Madrid derbies have been pretty common in recent years - not only in La Liga but also in the Copa del Rey (they're met in four of the last five seasons) and, of course, last season's Champions League final. In the 2011-12 league fixtures, Ronaldo scored twice against Atleti at the Bernabeu and three times against them at Vicente Calderon. Both matches ended in 4-1 wins for Real. But the most famous was in Lisbon last May, when Ronaldo scored Real's fourth in the Champions League final and ran off for that shirtless celebration. Ronaldo whips off his shirt to celebrate scoring the fourth goal in Real's 2014 Champions League final win . BARCELONA - 15 Goals in 26 matches . As a Manchester United player, Ronaldo failed to score in five meetings with Barcelona but that soon changed when he switched to Real Madrid in 2009. Scored: 417 goals . Against: 82 clubs . He scored an extra-time header to win the Copa del Rey final of 2011 and claim his first piece of silverware at the Bernabeu.

If the victim had no money on them, they would be driven to a nearby cash point to withdraw it, or the trio would con their way into their homes before stealing from them. Albert Webb, 51, from Surrey, was jailed for three and a half years and son Jimmy Chuter, 26, was jailed for four years after they harassed pensioners with dementia in the street, demanding money . In total the family gang carried out 35 thefts, starting in February 2012 - when pensioners were still able to withdraw cash from their local Post Office.

The heavy downpours that drenched Augusta on Tuesday would have been greeted by groans from soaked patrons and photographers hoping for snaps of glamourous WAGs.

German banking giant Deutsche Bank will pay $2.5 billion in fines for its role in a vast multi-year conspiracy to rig LIBOR interest rates, US and British authorities said on Thursday . The case centers on charges that Deutsche Bank derivatives traders manipulated the London InterBank Offered Rate, used to peg millions of interest rate-sensitive contracts and loans around the world, from at least 2003-2011 to boost their trading positions. Under the deferred prosecution agreement, Deutsche Bank agreed to plead guilty to a US charge of wire fraud, a criminal offense, in connection with the scam and admitted participating in price-fixing conspiracy with other banks. Deutsche Bank employees defrauded counterparties in emails, telephone calls and electronic chats, the US said. The $2.5 billion fine is a record for interest-rate manipulation. The largest German bank will pay $775 million in penalties to the Justice Department, $800 million to the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, $600 million to the New York Department of Financial Services and $344 million to Britain's Financial Conduct Authority. The settlement agreement allows Deutsche Bank to keep its operating license in the United States.

Castro passed away on Friday morning while in his sleep in San Diego where he was in hospice care, family spokesman James Garcia said. He was a self-made man, the embodiment of the American dream overcoming poverty and discrimination to graduate from college, and launch a successful career in politics and diplomacy. During his career, Castro also served as an American ambassador to three countries including El Salvador, Bolivia and Argentina. Arizona Governor Doug Ducey said Castro 'lived a full life of exemplary service to Arizona and its people.' Raul Hector Castro (above pictured in 2006), former governor of Arizona died on Friday morning . 'He was an honorable public servant, a history-maker, a beloved family man and a strong friend and fighter for Arizona,' Ducey said in a statement.

He said he wondered why the Hispanics were laborers and none delivered the mail or worked in offices. It did not seem right that the Hispanic children had to walk miles to school every day while the white kids would wave from a passing school bus, he said. Castro set out to beat the odds.

After five years, a senior official told him he was doing a great job but had no future in the foreign service \u2014 he had a Hispanic name and no Ivy League education. Castro then quit and moved to Tucson. A law school dean at the University of Arizona told Castro he would not be accepted because he could not afford to quit a job teaching Spanish.

US President Barack Obama says diplomacy is the best way to deal with Iran . U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and staff watch a tablet in Lausanne as U.S. President Barack Obama makes a state address on the status of the Iran nuclear program . 'As President and Commander in Chief, I firmly believe that the diplomatic option - a comprehensive, long-term deal like this - is by far the best option,' Obama said in his weekly address. Explaining that he expects a 'robust debate' on the deal in the United States, Obama said he will keep Congress apprised of the \"substance of the deal.\" Many of Obama's Republican opponents in Congress have been skeptical of a deal with Iran and suggested the US may be giving too much away in its negotiations. Echoing comments he made hours after the announcement of the agreement, Obama highlighted the rigorous inspections to which Tehran will be subject. 'If Iran cheats, the world will know it. If we see something suspicious, we will inspect it,' he said. 'So this deal is not based on trust, it\u2019s based on unprecedented verification.' According to outline text agreed to between Tehran and the P5+1 group -- the United States, Britain, China, France and Russia plus Germany -- Iran must significantly reduce its number of centrifuges in exchange for a suspension of sanctions. The outline was a major breakthrough in a 12-year international crisis over Iran's nuclear program, but the final deal has yet to be reached. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday this new agreement would 'threaten the very survival of the state of Israel' Iran's arch-foe Israel, widely assumed to have nuclear weapons of its own, reacted strongly against the deal, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying if the text becomes finalized it would threaten the survival of the state of Israel. \u2018This deal would legitimize Iran\u2019s nuclear program, bolster Iran\u2019s economy and increase Iran\u2019s aggression and terror throughout the Middle East and beyond,\u2019 the prime minister said. \u2018It would increase the risks of nuclear proliferation in the region and the risks of a horrific war.\u2019 Other critics including Saudi Arabia and Republicans in the US say the deal leaves scope for Iran to cheat. Barack Obama, however, has hailed the agreement struck after tortuous negotiations in Lausanne, Switzerland, as a \u2018historic understanding\u2019. There are still many details to be thrashed out before the deal is due to be signed on June 30, including the pace at which sanctions will be lifted and what happens if Iran is found to have breached the terms.", "summary": "US President Barack Obama said on Saturday that diplomacy was the best option to deal with Iran's contested nuclear program .

Of course, we would have liked to bring our great products to new cities, but we structured this deal so that if the government didn\u2019t agree, we could walk away,' Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said in a statement. On Wednesday night, it emerged that Federal Communications regulators decided that merger wasn't in the public interest and threw up a regulatory roadblock that would have bogged the deal down for months and may have killed it entirely. This followed fierce opposition from net neutrality activists and content providers like Disney and 21st Century Fox. Scroll down for video . Comcast CEO Brian Roberts declared, 'today we move on' in announcing that the company was abandoning its bid to buy Time Warner Cable . Mega-merger: The $45.2billion deal would have merged Comcast's 30million customers with Time Warner Cable's 11million. The new company would have spun off or sold 3.9million customers . Comcast, already the biggest cable and internet provider in the country, has 30million subscribers. Time Warner is the no. 2 cable company in the US and the fourth-largest broadband TV and internet provider. 'Comcast NBCUniversal is a unique company with strong momentum. Throughout this entire process, our employees have kept their eye on the ball and we have had fantastic operating results. I want to thank them and the employees of Time Warner Cable for their tireless efforts,' Roberts said. The proposed merger would have controlled 57percent of the broadband internet market and 30 percent of the paid TV market with more than 27million customers across the nation. On Wednesday night, the Wall Street Journal revealed that FCC regulators questioned whether the creation of mega-size TV and internet provider was in the public interest. Staffers reportedly planned to recommend that an administrative law judge review the deal - a regulatory obstacle that is likely to cost both companies several months of hearings and many millions of dollars. The hearings were likely to draw the companies past the merger deadline, at the very least. Columbia University professor and net neutrality activist Tim Wu tweeted: 'Comcast merger is dead.' CNN's Brian Stelter reports that some inside the companies were talking about the deal in the past tense almost immediately after the FCC decision. 'This is one of those deals where the opponents of the merger have been one of the most vocal I can remember,' said S&P Capital IQ Tuna Amobi. One concern, for example, is that the company could undermine the streaming video industry by requiring onerous payments from new online-only video providers for connecting to its network. Dish, the satellite TV company behind the new Web video service Sling TV, and Netflix are opposed to the deal. Another charge is that Comcast hasn't stuck to conditions imposed on it when it bought NBCUniversal. The company says it has, except for one circumstance when the FCC found it wasn't promoting a stand-alone Internet service.

This is according to a British study that has discovered a catastrophic condition called 'marine photic zone euxinia' took place in one of the prehistoric oceans. This happens when the sun-lit surface waters of the ocean become devoid of oxygen and are poisoned by hydrogen sulphide. Life of the Triassic met a choking end in a runaway greenhouse climate, heating the seas into warm stagnation, according to a new study. Pictured is an artist's impression of what may have happened in the oceans 200 million years ago. The study authors fear that the planet today could suffer similar consequences . Hydrogen sulphide is a by-product of micro-organisms that live without oxygen and is extremely toxic to most other lifeforms. The study authors fear that the planet today could suffer similar consequences caused by the amount of carbon dioxide being created through the burning of fossil fuels. A team lead by the University of Southampton studied fossilised organic molecules taken from sedimentary rocks that originally accumulated on the bottom of the north-eastern Panthalassic Ocean, which surrounded the continent of Pangaea. The rocks are now exposed on the Queen Charlotte Islands, off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. A team lead by the University of Southampton studied fossilised organic molecules taken from sedimentary rocks that originally accumulated on the bottom of the north-eastern Panthalassic Ocean. The rocks are now exposed on the Queen Charlotte Islands, off the coast of British Columbia, Canada . The experts found signs of bacteria which had suffered severe oxygen depletion and hydrogen sulphide poisoning which would have been caused by massive volcanic rifts in the Earth's tectonic plates. 'As tectonic plates shifted to break up Pangaea, huge volcanic rifts would have spewed carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures from the greenhouse effect,' said Professor Jessica Whiteside. 'The rapid rises in CO2 would have triggered changes in ocean circulation, acidification and deoxygenation. The Panthalassic Ocean was the vast global ancestral Pacific ocean that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea, during the late Paleozoic and the early Mesozoic eras . 'These changes have the potential to disrupt nutrient cycles and alter food chains essential for the survival of marine ecosystems. Our data now provides direct evidence that anoxic, and ultimately euxinic, conditions severely affected food chains. 'The same CO2 rise that led to the oxygen-depleted oceans also led to a mass extinction on land, and ultimately to the ecological takeover by dinosaurs, although the mechanisms are still under study.' She explained that although the Earth was very different during the Triassic period, the rate of carbon dioxide release from volcanic rifts are similar to those we are experiencing now through the burning of fossil fuels. Professor Whiteside added: 'The release of CO2 was probably at least as rapid as that caused by the burning of fossil fuels today, although the initial concentrations were much higher in the Triassic.

The sum, will be divided among patients of Dr. Nikita Levy, a gynecologist who secretly filmed and photographed thousands of women during gynecological exams at a Hopkins-affiliated clinic. The attorneys had originally asked for a 35 percent settlement fee, however the ruling by a Baltimore judge means they will only receive 17.25 per cent. Dr. Nikita Levy was fired from John Hopkins Health System in February 2013 after it was discovered he had surreptitiously videotaped and photographed thousands of women during gynecological exams . In his order the judge praised the attorneys for achieving 'extraordinary results,' and called the settlement 'unprecedented.' Jonathan Schochor, the suit's lead attorney, says he and the other attorneys won't challenge the judge's order.

The settlement is one of the largest settlements on record in the U.S. involving sexual misconduct by a physician, and all but closes a case that never produced criminal charges but threatened the reputation of one of the world's leading medical institutions.

For the keystone of these Left-wing propaganda films is a pernicious rewriting of history, portraying Britain\u2019s recent past as a battle between heroic trade unionists, fighting to defend the poor and the vulnerable, and unfeeling bosses, bulldozing everything in their path in the ruthless pursuit of making money for their capitalist overlords. There is no acknowledgment by the film-makers that the unions\u2019 greed and bully-boy tactics all but destroyed the British economy, or that their beloved welfare state (which has actually created a terrible dependency culture in many parts of the country) relies on a strong, unsabotaged economy to keep it afloat.

But a sudden infection landed the 16-year-old junior from Seward, Nebraska in the hospital, and it seemed like there was no chance she'd make it to her special night. That is, until nurses and Hurd's friends brought prom right to her bed at the Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha. After a sudden infection landed Madison Hurd, 16, in the hospital and forced her to miss her high school's prom, nurses and her friends brought the Great Gatsby-themed dance to her bed instead .

Griffin and Ben Jones-Bishop scored tries in the first half, although Jack Hughes gave the Giants hope. Carl Forster's try and Griffin's penalty made the game safe, though, despite the prolific Aaron Murphy's try setting up a tense finish. Salford Red Devils secured a second win in a row with a 18-12 victory at Huddersfield . Salford made a fast start and Cory Paterson had a try ruled out on 18 minutes. A Rangi Chase kick-through was fumbled by a Giants player in the in-goal area and Paterson pounced but referee James Child had already ruled it a knock-on and given the Red Devils a drop out. The game was twice delayed early on when Kevin Locke for Salford and Huddersfield's Brett Ferres were carried off injured. Griffin opened the scoring on 21 minutes when he pounced on a mistake by Huddersfield's Jermaine McGillvary. The winger seemed set to grab a grubber kick into the left corner by Jones-Bishop - but when he slipped in the in-goal area Griffin was there to score. He failed to convert but was on target 10 minutes later after Jones-Bishop took advantage of more slack defending. Rangi Chase kicked through straight from a scrum and Jones-Bishop got to the ball first despite several Giants players being better placed. Lacklustre Huddersfield, seeking a fifth straight win, woke up after that and were back in the contest on 38 minutes.

Murphy then went over in the right corner on 76 minutes for his fourth try in as many games. Brough added the extras to leave the home side a converted try away from a late victory. But soon after they were punished for interfering with play and Griffin kicked the resulting penalty.

That price could use a shave: The Daily Share found that the differences between these razors of the same brand differed by more than a dollar between the men's and women's versions . Compounded with the fact that women make, on average, 78 cents on the dollar to men, the facts prove than gender bias is more than just offensive, it's also very expensive. For example, a Schick\u2019s Hydro 5 men\u2019s razor was picked up for $8.56, but the women's version - the Schick Hydro Silk - was, for some reason, given more than a one dollar mark-up, and was priced at $9.97. An even greater disparity was found in the perfume aisle, where Narciso Rodriguez Eau de Toilettes For Him and For Her respectively cost $87 and $106.60. Meanwhile, a pair of Neutrogena anti-aging creams with the exact same ingredients were also found to inexplicably cost women $1.07 more per ounce - despite the skincare brand admitting that the two products were essentially the exact same product encased in different packaging. One of the few equal prices found by the video's creators was, of course, on a unisex American Apparel shirt.

The two presenters do point out that conditions are getting slightly better; medical insurance used to cost women in America $1 billion more each year before ObamaCare outlawed the practice of gender-biased pricing discrimination. However, in terms of everyday gender-taxing across the country, a 1995 report found that 'gender tax' cost women approximately $1,351 annually - a number which doesn't show any signs of decreasing any time soon.

The mobile phone companies boasted that 4G services would be \u2018five times faster\u2019 than the existing 3G networks when they launched in the autumn of 2012. However, a new official study puts the real figure at an average of 2.5 times faster - 14.7 megabits per second compared to 5.9Mbit/s per second on the 3G service that most people use. A study by Ofcom says 4G speeds in the UK are slower than promised. Mobile phone companies boasted 4G would be five times faster than 3G. But the actual figure is actually only 2.5 times faster - 14.7 megabits per second. Shown is an HTC One XL smartphone at a news conference in Zurich launching 4G in 2012 . At the same time, the evidence suggests that 4G services are likely to slow down as more people connect to them. 4G technology is being promoted by the big mobile networks on the basis it offers high speed internet access and smooth video streaming without annoying buffering. More than 10 million people have been won over by the promises and have signed two year contracts costing an average of \u00a320 ($30) a month. The 4G speed data comes from the telecoms regulator, Ofcom, which supports the technology and insists the figures show a meaningful and significant benefit over the 3G services. Despite this, the figures make clear the step change has not been as remarkable as the major networks - EE, O2, Vodafone and Three - promised. Ofcom\u2019s research compares the speed and geographic coverage of the networks and puts EE, which is the subject of a \u00a312.5 billion ($18.5 billion) takeover by BT, on top. EE\u2019s 4G network, which covers 81 per cent of homes and businesses, delivered the fastest average download speed of 18.6Mbit/s. This looks good when compared with its 3G service, which was a slow 4Mbit/s. Second fastest was Vodafone with 16.4 for 4G versus 6.6 for 3G. O2 came next at 13.9 versus 6.6, followed by Three at a relatively slow 8.5 for 4G which was not very impressive against the 5.4 for 3G. Upload speeds are important when sharing content, such as pictures and videos to social media sites like Instagram and Facebook. EE was also fastest on this measure at 17.6Mbit/s, followed by O2 on 13.2, Vodafone on 13.1 and Three with 9.4. The Three network was the fastest to load a web page at 0.63 seconds, compared to 0.71 for O2, 0.76 for Vodafone and 0.77 for EE. There is good evidence to believe the speeds offered by 4G are slowing down. When 4G services launched at the end of 2012, the average download speed was up at around 19 Mbit/s, however the new research suggests an average of 14.7 and other studies put it as low as 10. This has happened because more people are using the service, effectively causing jams on the airwaves.

The two primates, currently living in a lab at Stony Brook University, are the first animals in history to be covered by a writ of habeas corpus, allowing their detention to be challenged. A representative of the Long Island university have been ordered to appear in court to respond to a petition by the Nonhuman Rights Project that chimps Hercules and Leo are 'unlawfully detained.' Making history: The two chimpanzees, living in a lab at Stony Brook University, Long Island, (not pictured) are the first animals to be granted the same rights as human prisoners . The decision by New York Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jaffe effectively recognises the chimpanzees as legal humans, the American Association for the Advancement of Science reports. The lawsuits were originally filed by the Nonhuman Rights Project in December 2013, in an attempt to free Hercules and Leo and two other chimpanzees living on private property. Although the courts threw out the suits, the animal rights' group has been appealing ever since, and have now been granted the writ of habeas corpus on behalf of the Stony Brook chimpanzees. A Stony Brook representative have been ordered to appear in court next month to respond the petition which argues that the chimps should be set free and moved to a sanctuary in Florida. 'We are claiming that chimpanzees are autonomous,' The Nonhuman Rights Project's founder Massachusetts lawyer Steven Wise said in an interview last year. A representative of the university have been ordered to appear in a New York court next month to respond the petition which argues that Leo and Hercules should be set free and moved to a sanctuary (stock image) 'That is, being able to self-determine, be self-aware, and be able to choose how to live their own lives.' The 2013 lawsuits include affidavits from scientists who say chimpanzees have complex cognitive abilities, such as awareness of the past and the ability to make choices, and display complex emotions such as empathy. Although Judge Jaffe's ruling only requires a Stony Brook University representative to attend a hearing regarding Hercules and Leo next month, it can be used to set precedent for further legal action. 'This is a big step forward to getting what we are ultimately seeking: the right to bodily liberty for chimpanzees and other cognitively complex animals,' Natalie Prosin, the Executive Director of the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) told the AAAS. 'We got our foot in the door. And no matter what happens, that door can never be completely shut again.'", "summary": "Chimpanzees at NY university to be covered by habeas corpus writ .

Not surprising, since he once was a Labour politician, albeit a councillor, in the 1970s. Scroll down for video .

With Cable in charge of Labour's spending plans, voters would stop worrying that would-be PM Red Ed might do something barmy. But as we sit on the terrace of the quirkily named Barmy Arms pub by the Thames in his Twickenham constituency, Business Secretary Cable says something, which on first hearing, sounds even more barmy. Not only is he ready to spend another five years helping the Tories run Britain, he wants to replace George Osborne as Chancellor. 'Yes, I know,' he shrugs, acknowledging the apparent contradiction, 'I've spent my whole political life fighting the Conservatives.' How does he sit down with Tories he privately despises? 'When we have a business meeting we put the guns at the door and sit down and talk,' he smiles. He complains of 'nasty and vicious stuff' from the Tories. And after one heated Cabinet verbal exchange with Defence Secretary Liam Fox, Cameron rushed up to Cable on his way out and begged him to keep it secret to stop the Coalition collapsing. He describes another confrontation with junior Tory Business Minister Matt Hancock, an ally of Osborne sent to 'spy' on Cable. 'He came to my office with a list of plum jobs he wanted. I said, 'No, I'm the boss.' He was very cross, stamped his feet, got up and slammed the door.' So how, and more to the point, why, does Cable want another five years of more of the same? 'Because I've realised it is possible to be business-like with them. I can envisage a scenario in which I would stomach working with the Tories if the situation required. You have to let your head rule your heart.' In the interview, Mr Cable said the Prime Minister and the Chancellor were 'highly intelligent guys' and added that they 'don't snarl at each other' He knows full well the significance of what he is saying. 'It's important coming from me because I'm the one seen as having the least affinity with the Tories.' Cable is also quick to make clear he does not rule out working with Labour.

A Pennsylvania man was arrested after allegedly sexually abusing a girl in her home over a four-year period and filming the girl, now 15, and others with a hidden camera in a bathroom. Kevin Rebbie, 56, of Limerick Township, faces several charges, including aggravated indecent assault, unlawful contact with a minor, sexual abuse of children and invasion of privacy, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said. The investigation began when a 15-year-old girl found a hidden camera under the sink in a bathroom in her Limerick Township home in March, according to prosecutors. She told investigators that Rebbie had been watching her for years when she was undressing and when he believed she was asleep. She added that beginning when she was nine years old up until she was 13, Rebbie would come into her bedroom while she was sleeping and molest her, according to Philly.com. Investigators found 41 videos from the hidden camera that included footage of the girl and others while they used the bathroom, 34 of which showed victims as they showered. Rebbie uploaded the videos, some that included close-up images of children's genitalia, to his computer to view later, prosecutors said.

He accepts, though, that this could be his final taste of the fixture which has guaranteed him lifelong worship. 'I have to be realistic, this could be my last derby,' he told Sportsmail. 'I don't want it to be, but that will be in my mind. So I'm not going to let it go the way of the last four - that cannot carry on. 'I've left the stadium gutted after every one of them and I've felt it like a fan. So we owe it to them now.

The eight-second pause was revealing in its length as a delicate topic reared its head. Where exactly would this club \u2014 now on the brink of the Championship \u2014 be without their billionaire owner Steve Lansdown? Cotterill looked down at his feet, searching for the right answer. \u2018I don\u2019t quite know,\u2019 he said, head shaking. It isn\u2019t worth thinking about. He is aware that they\u2019d be nowhere near a win away from League One promotion, potentially ending the season as champions and enjoying a spectacularly redeveloped Ashton Gate. Steve Cotteril has taken Bristol City to the brink of a Championship return after two seasons in League One . City have already won silverware this season in the shape of a Johnstone's Paint Trophy win last month . \u2018There are a lot of big clubs in League One, Two and the Conference with good support. You only have to look at Bristol Rovers and the crowds they get in the Conference,\u2019 Cotterill added after his side\u2019s 1-1 draw at second-placed Preston. The inference was obvious. \u2018We\u2019re on the verge of the Championship and that\u2019s only down to Steve and his investment and what he\u2019s doing at the ground.\u2019 Lansdown, who made his fortune from financial services, is a rare breed in English football, unwavering in ploughing his own fortune into the club through love and nothing else. It hasn\u2019t always been rosy. That strategy was downright naive when they chased the Premier League dream and racked up astonishing debts in doing so. Dean Windass\u2019s memorable winner for Hull City in the 2008 Championship play-off final might have cost Bristol City far more than just missing out on top-flight riches. If Lansdown hadn\u2019t changed his approach they could have folded. Dean Windass hit the only goal of the game as Hull were promoted at the expense of the Robins . Those mistakes \u2014 over-paying for decent but not exceptional players \u2014 meant the owner had to write off an eye-watering \u00a335million worth of debt last year. The age of Financial Fair Play dictates they must live within their means. Lansdown is far more pragmatic with money nowadays, even though Cotterill was allowed to spend \u00a31.65m on four players last summer. They later sold striker Sam Baldock to Brighton for \u00a32m and the squad is among the smallest in all four divisions. Quality, not quantity. \u2018I ain\u2019t quite sure we bought the division,\u2019 Cotterill added. \u2018We pay all these over a period of time, over a couple of years. \u2018We will still potentially need to up our budget from where we are [next season]. I wouldn\u2019t mind betting that Preston have got a bigger budget than us.

+{"article": "Some find them unnerving and even slightly creepy while, to others, they are endearing, mysterious and charming. Whatever your view, one thing\u2019s for certain: when it comes to twins, particularly identical ones, they are an endless source of fascination. Yet, despite all this interest, the rest of us remain baffled, emotionally and scientifically, by the uncanny bonds identical twins share. Having spent a year researching twins for my new novel, I have come to realise that we are only beginning to grasp how strange they truly are and quite why they have compelled us for thousands of years. Ashley (left) and Mary-Kate Olsen (right) are two of the most famous twins in the world and despite their very similar appearances they are not actually identical twins . Take pre-colonial Brazilians, who thought twins were a product of adultery, resulting in the poor innocent mother often being executed for her supposed infidelity. Some primitive African societies abhorred twins because of the way multiple births resemble an animal\u2019s litter. It wasn\u2019t uncommon for the unlucky children to be slaughtered and their mother exiled. In Greek mythology, however, twins were believed to be the product of human intercourse with the gods, meaning they were sacred, while ancient Slavs maintained that twins shared one special soul. Not all monozygotic twins (i.e. twins born from a single fertilised egg) are truly identical. Some are \u2018mirror image\u2019 twins. This means that in one twin the hair might swirl clockwise, in the other twin it will swirl anticlockwise \u2014 but it will swirl in exactly the same way. For one twin, the left side of the mouth might curve upwards; in the other twin, the right side of the mouth has precisely the same curve. This peculiar \u2018looking-glass effect\u2019 extends to the positioning of internal organs. But many identicals are truly identical in ways we are still uncovering. Obviously, identical twins share facial characteristics and body shape. But they also share virtually identical DNA, meaning they are more closely related to each other than to anyone else, including their parents or their own children. Joel (left) and Benji Madden (right) are identical twins, it's likely that they will have grown more alike over time as their identical DNA asserts itself . A daring \u00a35 million jewel heist was carried out at a Berlin department store in 2009. Closed-circuit TV showed one of three masked man removing a glove at the scene, which the police later recovered. The glove provided DNA evidence traced to identical twin brothers. But with no way of pinning it on one brother, both were acquitted. Identicals also share the same blood group, the same hormones, the same serum proteins; they are alike in heart rate, blood pressure, brain waves, respiratory rate and digestive process. Hospitals in America in the past have advised parents to discreetly tattoo one twin \u2014 with a tiny dot, or mark on a heel \u2014 so that in future the children can be differentiated. Parents often refuse, believing they will be able to distinguish their twins as they age (not least,", "summary": "Pre-colonial Brazilians thought twins were a product of adultery .

The jury of 10 men and two women took just a few hours to come back with a conviction in the case after hearing closing arguments Friday morning.

Scroll down for video . Ripped apart: In 1996, at the age of 9, Jennifer Bush was taken from her family after her mother Kathy (right) was accused of making her ill on purpose . Jennifer spent the first years of her life in and out of hospitals, as doctors struggled to find a solution to her near chronic illness that caused digestive issues and seizures. Chronically ill: In the first years of her life, Jennifer was in and out of the hospital as she battled chronic illness. A health care worker later reported Kathy Bush to authorities, suspecting the woman of purposefully poisoning her daughter with extra doses of medicine . Faced with mounting medical bills, Kathy started lobbying for health care reform and would often speak publicly and with publications about her family's battle to take care of Jennifer. Kathy even visited the Clinton White House to raise awareness of the issue. Then, in 1995, a health care worker reported to police suspicions that Kathy may have been intentionally making Jennifer sick by giving her extra doses of medicine. Police and child welfare authorities launched an investigation, and after a year amounted enough evidence to arrest Kathy on child abuse charges. Kathy's lawyer blames the investigation on Menchausen Syndrome by Proxy - a syndrome that had grown in notoriety at the time of his client's arrest. Those with the syndrome enact pain on others in order to draw pity and attention to themselves. After the arrest, Jennifer was taken from her family and put in foster care where she remained until she was 18. After a long legal battle, a jury in 1999 found Kathy guilty of aggravated child abuse and sentenced the mother of three to five years in prison. She served three years and was released in June 2005. Still the two were not allowed to see each other until Jennifer left foster care, at which point she was an adult.

They are struggling to fill core teaching positions, with some posts attracting only one or two applicants. School leaders warn the 'bleak' situation is likely to worsen due to the rise in pupil numbers and 'greater competition' for graduates among employers. Almost half of headteachers have vacancies in English, maths and science departments amid a growing recruitment crisis in secondary schools . A survey by the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) found that 44 per cent of respondents had vacancies in English, 52 per cent in maths and 50 per cent in science. Overall, 86 per cent had 'difficulty' recruiting teachers for core subjects. Meanwhile, 62 per cent had similar problems in non-core subjects. And 65 per cent said they believed recruitment was more difficult than in previous years. London schools are experiencing the most problems finding teachers in English, maths and science, followed by the North West and East of England. The non-core subjects facing recruitment difficulties include geography, design and technology, business studies, computer science, religious education and modern foreign languages. The survey received 97 responses from headteachers and groups of headteachers from local networks of schools. One leader of a secondary school in southern England said: 'I have advertised for a head of maths twice and so far only had one applicant. This is a non-selective comprehensive school which has been significantly above average for maths consistently in the last five years. 'Why wouldn't someone want to lead such a great team?' A headteacher in the East of England said: 'A recent advert for a head of English drew two candidates, both with insufficient relevant experience. 'Head of ICT/computing drew a field of two suitable candidates out of four applicants, and teacher of maths drew one suitable applicant from a pool of two.

He said: 'I will tweet anything to anyone just paypal me $20 bowe@riddickbowe.com. Thats whats up. Bowe . And as apparent proof of his pledge a number of bizarre messages have since appeared on the former boxing champion's Twitter account. One post read: 'I tell you all now @JakeLeeYes is twice the fighter I ever was. Thats whats up.

He wrote: 'Im now in the business of endorsing yo companies helping those small business get off them ground Im try help the little guy thats what i do.' His actions seem a fall from his hey day in the 1990s when Bowe was widely regarded as the best heavyweight fighter in the world. He motched up victories over former champion Evander Holyfield in 1992 at Caesars Palace and Andrew Golota, who was disqualified for low blows. He retired in 1997 and went on to join the Marine Corps Reserves, but dropped out while he was training. Next the boxer's fortunes were to take an even more disastrous turn after he was imprisoned for 18 months for domestic violence after he held his now ex-wife and children against their will. In 2004 he returned to the ring and won three bouts in unconvincing fashion. Bowe posted a message to his 451,000 followers offering to post any messages they wanted, and his tweets since then - from asking for dates to promoting companies - has proved that he means his offer .

The hospital chapel holds about 80 people and will be full of family and close friends. Leukaemia affects a person's white blood cells. White blood cells are the important infection-fighting part of the immune system, made in your bone marrow. Patients with leukaemia produce an abnormal number of immature white blood cells which 'clog up' their bone marrow. This stops bone marrow making other blood cells, which are vital for a balanced immune system and healthy blood. Acute leukaemia comes on suddenly, progesses quickly and needs to be treated urgently. Chronic leukaemia develops more slowly, over months or years. Common treatments for leukaemia include chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a bone marrow transplant. It is predicted that 48% of men and 44% of women will survive the disease for ten years or more.

+{"article": "The health watchdog that damned the NHS's first privately run hospital ignored a spot check by its own inspectors that found huge improvements in standards. The vital findings have been suppressed for nearly four months, and have only emerged now after the Care Quality Commission quietly revised its report to rate many of the hospital's services as 'good'. In January the commission branded Hinchingbrooke in Cambridgeshire as 'inadequate' and placed it in special measures, along with a dozen of the worst hospitals in the country. But today the watchdog will upgrade this to 'requires improvement' and publish a glowing report. In January the commission branded Hinchingbrooke in Cambridgeshire as 'inadequate' Experts say it is further evidence that the inspection was flawed and a stitch-up by Labour Party activists and trade unionists who oppose privatisation. The new version of the report rates the hospital as 'good' in 18 out of 33 criteria that were assessed including its outpatients departments and overall standard of end-of-life care. It also praises a number of the hospital's departments and individuals as 'outstanding' including its maternity ward, intensive care unit, specialist children's nurse in A&E and the chaplain. Crucially, the report \u2013 a draft of which has been leaked to the Mail \u2013 shows that the CQC ignored a second, far more positive spot check of the hospital when it published its initial report. In January \u2013 a week before the first report came out \u2013 inspectors returned to check up on two wards where they had raised concerns about standards of care during a visit in September. They found major improvements and praised nurses for treating patients with dignity and respect, responding promptly to call bells and ensuring patients were not in pain. Yet the watchdog ignored these findings when placing the hospital in special measures. Hinchingbrooke \u2013 which serves 160,000 patients in Huntingdon \u2013 was controlled by the private firm Circle from February 2012 until last month. NHS patients were treated there as usual but Circle \u2013 rather than NHS managers \u2013 was in charge of the day-to-day running of the hospital and its budget. The firm was praised for driving down waiting times, lowering the death rate, reducing infections and improving overall care. After January's report Circle announced it would be withdrawing from its contract. The hospital is now being run by the NHS Trust Development Authority. The rating of 'requires improvement' in the revised report moves the hospital from the bottom 13 per cent of hospital trusts in the country to an average score, which is achieved by 59 per cent of organisations. Today the watchdog will upgrade the 'inadequate' finding to 'requires improvement' and publish a glowing report . The Mail has repeatedly highlighted concerns by MPs and doctors that the inspection was flawed and a sabotage attempt by those opposed to privatisation.

More than half the members of a group of 28 industrialised nations reduced their aid budget between 2013 and 2014, a report found. Britain's failure to follow suit \u2013 thanks to a target imposed by David Cameron \u2013 means that its overseas aid spending of 0.7 per cent of national income is double the average level of the other nations in the group known as the Development Assistance Committee. A target set by David Cameron (pictured at a rally this week) has left Britain unable to follow other countries in reducing their aid budget between 2013 and 2014 . Out of every \u00a3100 spent by these Western nations on overseas aid, no less than \u00a314 now comes from the UK. Overall across these 28 countries aid budgets fell by 0.5 per cent in real terms, according to the report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Despite this, the UK increased its spend by 1.2 per cent to \u00a311.7billion in 2014. It comes on top of even larger increases in previous years. France slashed its aid budget by 9.2 per cent to \u00a36.2billion, the fourth successive decrease. Japan's was cut by 15.3 per cent to \u00a35.5billion. Australia cut its foreign aid by 7.2 per cent to \u00a32.5billion, while cash-strapped Spain cut its funding by 20.3 per cent to \u00a31.1billion. The UK's aid budget is now nearly double France's and ten times the level in Spain. In total, 15 members of the DAC cut foreign aid, including Belgium, Italy, Norway, Poland and Portugal. Britain was one of 13 countries which increased its budget despite the straitened times. These included Germany, the US and New Zealand. Trade, not aid: Conservative MP Peter Bone . Surprisingly, Greece, which is dependent on bailouts from the EU and the IMF, put up its aid budget by 6.8 per cent. Last night Tory Peter Bone, who is standing for re-election as MP for Wellingborough, said: 'When we have seen cuts at home, people find it very strange that we can give away so many billions of pounds a year, half of which we don't even control who it goes to.

However, when they sought help from the principal and Clatskanie District police chief, they were told they would be charged with creating and distributing child pornography. On Thursday, two years after filing a civil suit against Clatskanie School District, a judge has ordered that each girl receive $75,000 in damages. All three girls have subsequently moved to new schools. Speaking in December 2013, Hailey Walden told KATU: 'We had grown up with each other and he was always the popular cool guy that everyone wanted to date. I was 13, I didn't know. I thought that if I sent him the picture he would think I'm pretty and love me.' In total, she sent him 30 pictures, which then swept the school. However, her mother Billi Leinonen told the station, principal Jeff Baughman and police chief Marvin Hoover 'chuckled' when they brought the case to them. Hoover, she says, started reading Hailey her Miranda rights and said she would be charged. Though no charges were filed against Hailey, she claims the meeting exacerbated her trauma. On Thursday Clatskanie School District, which encapsulates CMHS, was ordered to pay $225,000 to the girls . Josi Harrison and Laura Lefebvre reported similar conflicts with school officials. Along with Hailey, they filed a $2.5 million federal suit against the district in 2013. The judge ordered a reduced payment on the grounds that the school has taken commendable steps to ensure the situation is not repeated. An attorney for one of the girls, Amber Lunsford, told Oregon Live: 'This suit was never about the money. It was about effecting change.' She added: 'Each of the girls accomplished what they wanted.' Reacting to the settlement on Thursday, Josi told Fox 12 Oregon: 'I feel like it made me have to fight battles I shouldn\u2019t have to fight, especially at such a young age, but I feel it made me stronger.' 'I just hope they realize this does happen to people and that we\u2019re trying to make it known in school districts.'", "summary": "Josi Harrison, Laura Lefebvre, and Hailey Walden were 'lured into taking naked pictures for their high school-age boyfriends' in Clatskanie, Oregon . The photos were 'passed around like baseball cards' in 2009 . But school officials told them to 'suck it up' and warned THEY would be charged for 'creating and distributing child pornography' Now, 6 years later, they will each be paid $75,000 damages by the school ."}

Ladbrokes confirmed they received a recent flurry of bets following Mr Waley Cohen's high-profile win on Radjhani Express on Friday in Aintree's Crabbies Topham Chase - prompting their odds to tumble from 66/1 to 20/1.

The state-backed giant reached the milestone yesterday as it lurched to a \u00a3446million loss for the first three months of the year. It comes after RBS was forced to put aside \u00a3856million to cover lawsuits and fines still being decided, including an extra \u00a3334million for its part in rigging the foreign exchange market with other banks. Down: RBS reposted a \u00a3446million loss in the first three months of the year . In addition to fines in the US, the latest bill includes provision for compensating customers mis-sold payment protection insurance and fee-paying packaged accounts in the UK. RBS was also hit with a \u00a3453million restructuring charge, mainly due to a slump in the value of premises in the US. The loss is a blow to taxpayers, who own 80 per cent of the bank, and comes at an awkward time for Chancellor George Osborne, six days before the General Election. A return to profit for both RBS and state-backed Lloyds would have boosted his claims to have fixed the banks bailed out by taxpayers under the Labour government in 2008. Lloyds has returned to profit and is gradually being sold off to the private sector, but the losses at RBS suggest taxpayers are a long way from recouping some of the \u00a346billion bailout that saved the bank from collapse during the financial crisis.

There are still many conduct and litigation hurdles looming on the horizon. We look forward to the day we can focus entirely on the future rather than dealing with legacy issues.\u2019 The latest news wiped more than \u00a3700million off the value of RBS as shares fell more than 3 per cent to 338.5p.

The vast majority \u2013 37,484 \u2013 were race-hate crimes.

Just two weeks before the bout, tickets for the most anticipated fight in recent times have yet to go on public sale, with the two camps and the MGM Grand locked in a stand-off over allotments. When they are finally put on sale, only a few will be sold at the listed price. The impasse has left fans in the dark, and ticket brokers perplexed. Floyd Mayweather performs at a media workout with his uncle Roger on the pads in Las Vegas . Manny Pacquiao was in good spirits as he showed off his skills for the fans earlier this week . 'It's bizarre, normally there's a public sale 10 weeks before the fight,' said Connor Gregoire, an analyst for Seatgeek.com. 'To our knowledge no one has a printed ticket in their hands right now.' Mayweather's promoter, Leonard Ellerbe, said Tuesday that tickets would go on sale this week for the May 2 fight, but MGM officials have been tight-lipped about their availability. The hotel issued a statement Friday saying there would be a 'limited number of tickets available for sale' and that it is working with promoters to finalize a date for their release. The fight was always going to be a tough ticket, with announced prices of \u00a31,000 to \u00a35,000 in the 16,500-seat Grand Garden arena. But those prices have already tripled in the resale market even before tickets are available, and the two camps and the MGM have been bickering over how many seats - and at what price level - each party gets. Pacquiao's manager, Michael Koncz, blamed the Mayweather camp for holding up the ticket sales, saying they have refused to sign a term sheet negotiated months earlier that specified the allotments. 'It's a real mess right now,' Koncz said. 'I can only surmise the motivation is greed and an attempt to manipulate the tickets, otherwise why the holdup? I'm more than a little upset they're not for sale to the public.' Millions of dollars are at stake in the dispute, because after the MGM takes its share each camp gets a certain percentage of tickets and is able to resell them with ticket brokers for higher prices. The estimated gate for the tickets if they are sold at retail prices is already a staggering \u00a348million, far surpassing the previous gate record of \u00a313.3million for Mayweather's 2013 fight with Canelo Alvarez. Pacquiao used Instagram to show his fans a photo of his ripped body as he continues his preparation . Promoter Bob Arum said he has heard of people cancelling their reservations to Las Vegas because they're afraid they can't get tickets. 'This is not acceptable,' said Arum, who promotes Pacquiao. 'This is a worldwide event that the city of Las Vegas is involved in. It's one of the craziest things I've ever seen.'

Almond growers in California are at the centre of a row over water usage during one of the worst droughts in decades.

Dry days: Homes with swimming pools are seen in the Palm Springs area, California, as the state enters its fourth year of severe drought . This has also seen local residents attack the bottled water industry, after it was revealed that several companies have been 'taking advantage of poor government oversight to deplete mountain streams and watersheds,' The Guardian reports. A campaign singles out Nestle as the main villain, after an investigation by a local newspaper found that the company has been sourcing water from some of the driest areas in the state using expired permits.

Tom Stokely, of the California Water Impact Network, told the Sunday Telegraph: 'There has been a huge expansion of almonds. As we speak, there are yet more almond orchards being planted. In many cases the farmers are planting them in areas of low water supply so groundwater is being over-drafted. 'They're doing it because there are such huge profits.

The former deputy prime minister said he cannot see a problem with the future King writing to government ministers and insisted he had 'a lot to offer this country'. Lord Prescott's intervention comes after the Supreme Court backed a previous ruling paving the way for the publication of Prince Charles's so-called 'black spider' memos. Lord Prescott, left, said that the Prince of Wales has a lot to offer the country . The letters were penned between September 2004 and March 2005 and sent by the Prince to seven government departments. Lord Prescott, whose letters are separate to those due to be released, said that while he is 'not a raving loyalist', he has 'a lot of time for Charles' who he described as a passionate environmentalist. He said while he listens to the views of everyone who contacts him on political matters, he makes his own decisions. The former Labour minister, writing in the Sunday Mirror, said: ' Charles has an awful lot to offer this country. 'And if he wants to serve his subjects by helping young people into work, combating climate change and building sustainable communities, he can write as many damn letters as he likes.' Lord Prescott published extracts from two letters he received from the Prince - including one expressing his sadness at the death of the Labour politician's mother.

The first letter is a typed \u00adinvitation to a meeting of Regional\u00ad \u00adDevelopment Agency leaders in 1999. Charles says it would be 'splendid' to see Lord Prescott. The second is more personal and was written in the Prince's \u00addistinctive handwriting in 2003. It expresses sadness at the death of Lord Prescott's mother. The Prince opens by joking that he has 'been overdoing the quota' of letters to the Deputy PM.

He added: 'I did receive letters from the prince when I was in government but they had no effect on any policy. People say he shouldn't be writing to ministers but he's quite entitled to express his opinion. 'Politicians are lobbied all the time by individuals and groups and none of them would allow a letter \u2013 even from Prince Charles \u2013 to unduly \u00adinfluence them.'

While other expats who had committed the same crime in the past were deported, Mutty was ordered to serve jail time according to the Islamic calendar and received 28 of the 75 lashes he was sentenced to have.

Another hurdle on their way to the Premier League has been negotiated as they secured a hard-fought win over Reading. This was tense, though. Manager Eddie Howe would testify to that.

But, as of yet, the Cherries aren't choking, Callum Wilson's 22nd goal of the season setting them on their way to a third successive win at the Madejski Stadium.

This victory secured Bournemouth's position in the top-six, meaning - at the very least - that they'll have a crack at promotion via the play-offs. Reading, under Steve Clarke, have all but secured their Championship status, and with an FA Cup semi-final date at Wembley against Arsenal on the horizon the Royals, perhaps, had other matters on their mind. And so it proved as the Cherries took a fourth minute lead when Wilson fired home from close range after Andrew Surman's shot from the edge of the area struck Adam Federici's far post.

But the visitors had goalkeeper Artur Boruc to thank in the 17th minute as he produced an outstanding one-handed save to deny Jamie Mackie's close range effort from Jordan Obita's cross. And Nathaniel Chalobah, Hal Robson-Kanu and Obita all waste good opportunities to level for the Royals as they mustered a promising response to going behind. These were worrying moments for Howe, who paced regularly from the dugout to his technical area to holler instructions at his players.

Now France has cocked a snooty nose at our drinking habits, too \u2013 and is blaming us for exporting them across the Channel. French health chiefs say the UK is responsible for causing a sharp rise in the number of youngsters who binge-drink. It has slammed the practice of going out to get drunk as an 'Anglo-Saxon phenomenon' and says it is being copied by increasing numbers of youths on the continent. But critics have said it's a case of double standards for a country where children are encouraged to drink wine at the table from a relatively early age. The latest figures reveal that almost half of French 18 to 25 years olds have consumed alcohol with the sole aim of getting drunk \u2013 compared to 33 per cent ten years ago. The rise in binging is particularly high among young women, soaring from eight per cent who admitted they had done it in 2005, to three times that number by 2015. Now France's state health watchdog has claimed the sharp increase is due to French youths copying the English. Francis Bourdillon, head of the National Institute of Prevention and Health Education, said: 'This is an Anglo-Saxon phenomenon that's starting to creep into the generation of the 15-24-year-olds. 'Consumption of alcohol in France is particularly worrying among young people and especially among young women. 'Besides the obvious health concerns, binge drinking can also lead to violence against women, sometimes fatal drunken accidents, and unprotected sex.' Bad influence: French officials claim binge drinking is an Anglo-Saxon phenomenon, pictured here on TV programme Booze Britain . Sophisticated: French officials would prefer youngsters to move back to the more traditional pastimes such as a picnic lunch, after new figures revealed more youths are drinking solely to get drunk . The slur on the British comes in the same week that Health Minister Marisol Touraine presents her new health bill to the government, which includes reforms to crack down on France's binge-drinking culture. Ms Touraine said: 'We have to put a stop to drunkenness that does such damage to young people. 'This trend is a risk to their own health, and as a result puts an extra strain on the health service. 'Some may accuse the government of wanting to arrest people for having fun. But it is our job to encourage citizens to moderate their alcohol intake.' Her new law would impose fines of up to \u00a312,000 for inciting someone under 18 to get drunk, and fines of \u00a35,000 or six months in prison for inciting someone of any age to binge-drink.

HSBC was ordered to pay them compensation after the banking industry watchdog found it \u2018relied on untested assumptions, stereotypes or generalisations in respect of age\u2019 in the case. The banking giant was criticised for refusing to grant the \u00a3250,000 loan because the husband would have been over 65 when the 18-year-deal finished, according to The Sunday Times. A couple in their 40s became unusual victims of age discrimination after HSBC rejected a \u00a3250,000 mortgage application because it deemed the husband to be too old . In the first case of its kind, the Financial Ombudsman Service found the lender guilty of being \u2018unfair\u2019.

Bosses at the bank defended their decision and argued it was \u2018entitled to apply a maximum age policy\u2019, according to ombudsman documents seen by the newspaper. But the ombudsman said: \u2018The bank relied on untested assumptions, stereotypes or generalisations in respect of age.\u2019 The couple, who do not wish to be named, applied for the joint interest-only mortgage over 18 years on their home, in which they held substantial equity. HSBC had issued a decision in principle, indicating that they would be prepared to lend the money, but it then refused to proceed due to the husband\u2019s age. The husband, however, does not plan to retire at 65 and his final salary pension would be large enough to cover the monthly repayments. He also has pension pots and his wife would have been able to pay the loan from her income alone, if necessary. The couple complained and claimed they had been victims of discrimination. The complaint was upheld by the ombudsman - the first time it has done so specifically on the grounds of age for a mortgage. HSBC said its decision was based on its age restrictions for interest-only loans, a type of mortgage that allows borrowers to pay off the interest but none of the capital. HSBC was ordered to pay \u00a3500 to the couple for their \u2018distress and inconvenience\u2019 over the \u2018unfair application of its age policy\u2019, and was told to reconsider their loan application . The bank \u2013 like many other lenders - has tightened its criteria, and does not offer interest-only loans with a term beyond a borrower\u2019s 65th birthday. For repayment mortgages, the age ceiling is 75. The bank told The Sunday Times: \u2018As a responsible lender, we need to ensure our customers\u2019 ability to repay their mortgage. \u2018With interest-only lending we also need to understand how a customer will repay the capital when the mortgage matures. \u2018Regulatory requirements to show responsible lending and the repayment vehicles associated with interest-only loans have become more stringent since this application was made. \u2018It\u2019s important to stress that when we look at a mortgage application we take", "summary": "HSBC was ordered to pay \u00a3500 to couple for \u2018distress and inconvenience\u2019 The banking giant was criticised for refusing to grant the \u00a3250,000 loan .

But former model Jennifer Sky, 38, from Brooklyn, New York, has revealed in an op-ed for the New York Observer that the fashion industry has already found a way around the regulations, explaining that thin models are now resorting to wearing weighted Spanx in order to cheat the new BMI standards.

It was a cruel twist of fate for Bravo and Pique, both of whom have been outstanding in the second half of the season and the effort on Sevilla's part was momentous. A year ago Barcelona travelled to Andalusia to face Granada and left a beaten side, their title challenge hitting an iceberg. This was not as brutal a blow, but Enrique\u2019s team will need to right themselves quickly ahead of a testing fortnight. Lionel Messi (left) celebrates scoring the opening goal with Neymar .

Goals: Messi 14, Neymar 31. Booked: Busquets, Pique. Ref: Juan Martinez Munuera. Goals from Lionel Messi and Neymar looked to have ended Sevilla\u2019s amazing 14-month unbeaten home record in La Liga, but Unai Emery\u2019s men showed why they are so hard to beat with a momentous comeback. Gerard Deulofeu was dropped from Sevilla's squad and Denis Suarez started on the bench. To be able to leave out two Barcelona loanees shows the strength in depth that the coach has. It also shows how Sevilla won the Europa League last season and why they are aiming to reach the Champions League this year. A big part of their European triumph last season was down to their captain Ivan Rakitic. Enough, in fact, that Barcelona decided to pluck him from Emery's ranks and give him a bigger stage to shine on. Rakitic says he still holds Sevilla in his heart, thanks to his four season spell in Andalusia. Perhaps his history confused him early on, with the Croat playing a terrible ball back towards his own box which didn\u2019t cost Barcelona, thanks to the referee deciding he was fouled after releasing it. Messi curled home a trademark left-footed shot against Sevilla . Real Madrid had already done their part on Saturday afternoon, seeing off Eibar at the Santiago Bernabeu and then desperately hoped Sevilla would be able to do theirs. Something had to give at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, whether it was Sevilla's streak, or Barcelona's nine-game winning run. It was Barcelona who last did the damage here in February 2014, but they could not do it again. Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Neymar were brought back into the Barcelona side after missing Wednesday's win against Almeria, through injury, suspension and rotation respectively. The latter had a point to prove after a run of fruitless games, where he\u2019s been more likely to cause a fight than score a goal. That wasn\u2019t the case here.

The Inverness Caley Thistle centre-half will learn on Thursday whether he has been successful in challenging the one-match suspension offered by compliance officer Tony McGlennan. Meekings was charged over the handball that thwarted a Leigh Griffiths effort in their semi-final victory - an incident which also prompted Celtic to write to the SFA seeking \u2018an understanding\u2019 of why no penalty and red card followed.

Meekings has been retrospectively suspended for one match, the punishment he would have got if sent off . But Northern Irishman Boyce, who is also chairman of FIFA\u2019s referees committee, believes the only potential punishment should be levelled at match referee Steven McLean and his assistants. \u2018This sets a very dangerous precedent, I am absolutely, 100 per cent against the compliance officer becoming involved because the referee\u2019s decision is final,\u2019 said Boyce. \u2018It is a totally different matter if someone has gone over the top, or committed a serious foul, or head-butted someone and the referee has missed it. \u2018Those are disciplinary issues. But what happened here is that the referee has made a mistake regarding a hand-ball and that\u2019s the end of it. There is no way the player should now be disciplined for that. \u2018Who is to say it was even intentional? If the Scottish FA or their referees committee decide that they feel a serious mistake was made then they could take action in the future against that referee. \u2018The only punishment, if any punishment at all is due, should be made if the Scottish FA feel the officials in charge of this game acted improperly and made the wrong decision.\u2019 FIFA's head of referees Jim Boyce says the suspension of a player for an unpunished handball is wrong . Inverness is appealing the ruling that, if upheld, will deny Meekings (right) a place in the Scottish Cup final . The SFA\u2019s disciplinary rules provide scope for action against sending-off offences not seen by the referee, including denying the opposition a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity. And former compliance officer Vincent Lunny believes Meekings should brace himself to miss the showpiece against Falkirk on May 30. \u2018Look at the different options \u2014 any way you look at it, he would have missed the final,\u2019 said Lunny.

+{"article": "It is probably the most unpleasant experiment you will read about today: what happens when your skin starts to tear. Researchers have uncovered the reason why skin is so difficult to tear even when put under extreme pressures, by cutting samples of real skin and attempting to pull them apart. They found that rather than simply tearing, mammalian skin actually has sophisticated stress resistance properties that prevent holes and cuts from expanding. The researchers cut real skin samples and then attempted to rip them by pulling them apart (shown above) Using X-ray beams they were able to directly observe the microscopic changes that take place in skin to help it resist tearing during their stomach churning experiments. They discovered that the curly fibers of collagen that make up dermis of the skin straighten and stretch in response to a tear to share the load and prevent further damage. Scientists at Gillette have spent nine years studying how to get the perfect shave. Their work has shown why washing the skin is so vital and why you should never, ever tap your razor on the sink, and also settles the debate about whether you should go with, or against the grain . Here are their main findings: . Before the shave, hydrate the hair by washing the skin with a gentle cleanser: This softens the hair and significantly reduces the force needed to cut it. Apply plenty of shave gel: This provides a protective anti-friction layer and improves razor glide for a smoother, more comfortable shave. Shave with a multi-blade razor using light strokes: Gillette said the razor should do the work, not the person shaving. Change direction: Begin by shaving with the grain of the hair before switching and going against this grain. Make sure blades are not old or dull: The lifespan of razors can vary depending on how often they are used and how hard. As a general rule if the razor begins to drag or doesn't cut as closely as before, replace the blades. Use aftershave: This can be any product containing moisturiser to rehydrate and comfort the skin. Many aftershaves contain alcohol that acts as an astringent to sterilise the skin and provide a barrier against infection. The findings help to explain why the thin layer of cells that cover our bodies is able to provide such an effective barrier to the outside world. Scientists behind the research also hope their findings could eventually lead to stronger new materials that do not easily tear that could be used in aircraft, for example. Professor Robert Ritchie, a materials scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, who was one of the co-authors of the research, said: 'Our study is the first to model and directly observe in real time the micro-scale behavior of the collagen fibrils associated with the skin\u2019s remarkable tear resistance. 'Collagen fibrils and fibers rotate, straighten, stretch and slide to carry load and reduce the stresses at the tip of any tear in the skin.

+{"article": "A lack of iron, especially in women, is known to trigger hair loss, possibly because it means less oxygen is delivered to the hair follicle, but should you take iron pills to treat it? \u2018This is a bit of a moot point,\u2019 says Dr Vicky Jolliffe, a consultant dermatologist at the Royal London Hospital and a specialist in hair loss. \u2018There is published evidence for and against it. All I can say is that in my practice I see lots of girls with low ferritin levels [stored iron rather than iron in your blood], who shed hair and stop shedding once you correct the ferritin level.\u2019 Meal: Eating protein with every meal is vital to strong, healthy hair, as hair consists of protein, experts say . Sally-Ann Tarver, a former president of the Trichological Society now based at The Cotswold Trichology Centre, recommends Florisene pills (\u00a315.95, lambertshealthcare.co.uk), which contain iron, because these don\u2019t seem to cause the digestive irritation linked to standard pills. But Professor Andrew Messenger, a consultant dermatologist at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, says that while there are many supplements claiming to help promote hair growth, very few have strong evidence to support them. Two years ago, a clinical trial looked into the efficacy of the supplement Viviscal (\u00a329.99, Boots). The study involved 63 women: 33 took the supplement, 30 a placebo. After six months, the hairs in those taking the supplement had increased in width by an average of 7 per cent compared with the placebo group, which were unchanged. However, Professor Messenger remains unconvinced. \u2018As far as I am aware, this study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal and did not appear to look at other parameters, such as hair density,\u2019 he says. \u2018Whether a 7 per cent increase in hair diameter can be reliably measured is doubtful, as is whether it is clinically significant.\u2019 Research found women with increased hair-shedding responded well to iron supplements . It might be worth checking your protein intake. As Philip Kingsley, a trichologist, explains: \u2018Hair consists of protein, so eating sufficient protein is vital to strong, healthy hair.\u2019 He suggests having protein at every meal. A good diet including protein is certainly important, says Dr Jolliffe. She points to the fact that those with anorexia or a very low BMI suffer from hair loss. \u2018However, I am not sure I can justify saying you need to eat protein at every meal,\u2019 she says. There is some evidence that an amino acid (or protein building block) called l-lysine may play a role in hair loss. A review published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology found that women with increased hair-shedding responded well to l-lysine and iron supplements (l-lysine is thought to help the body to absorb iron). L-lysine is found in particularly large concentrations in poultry and fish, but it is also in smaller amounts in soy and eggs. However, supplements or dietary changes won\u2019t pay dividends overnight. \u2018It usually takes more than two months for the hair follicles to begin to benefit from dietary", "summary": "Trichologist Philip Kingsley says hair consists of protein so eating it is key .

Alex Hales, pictured in action for Nottinghamshire earlier this month, completed a double century on Sunday . Hales' passed three figures for the 10th time in his career, spoiling the return of Andrew Gale, back skippering Yorkshire again after serving a four match suspension. Gale rotated all seven bowlers at his disposal but all found it difficult to put the brake on Hales' scoring. In general, too much width was offered to the 26-year-old and he capitalised fully to reach his century from 131 balls and his 150 from 173. Taylor was a perfect foil for his World Cup team-mate, content to play the supportive role in reaching his own 50 from 89 balls, with nine fours.Yorkshire's spirits were lifted just before the tea interval when Brooks struck twice in an over, snaring Taylor with an lbw decision and then providing enough temptation for Samit Patel to nudge one into the hands of Alex Lees at first slip.

Hales went past his previous best of 184, made against Somerset in 2011, and then had his only two scares of the day, against the bowling of Patterson. An uppish chip to mid-on was totally missed by Rhodes, who claimed he lost the flight of the ball. On 197 a huge shout for lbw was turned down by umpire Russell Evans, to the dismay of the entire fielding unit.

+{"article": "The arrival of an advanced group of modern humans in Europe 40,000 years ago played a role in the demise of Neanderthals, scientists have claimed. Neanderthals were the dominant human species in Europe and much of Asia for around 250,000 years before vanishing entirely 41,000 years ago. Now scientists have found proof that a group of modern humans known as the Protoaurignacian culture arrived in southern Europe at around the same time the Neanderthals disappeared. Scientists took CT scans of teeth found at Riparo Bombrini in western Ligurian Alps (left) and in the Grotta di Fumane in western Lessini Mountains (right), both in Italy, and found they belonged to ancestors of modern humans who were part of a group known as the Protoaurignacian culture . They have been able to conclusively show that a pair of ancient baby teeth found at two prehistoric sites in northern Italy belong to modern humans from this culture. It has settled a debate that has raged since they were discovered in 1976, and later in 1992, over whether the teeth and other artefacts found with them were Neanderthal or Homo sapien in origin. An incisor found in Riparo Bombrini in western Ligurian Alps in 1976, and an upper incisor found in 1992, in the Grotta di Fumane in the western Lessini Mountains in Italy are among only three remains thought to have belonged to the Protoaurignacian culture - an early group of humans. Dr Benazzi and his colleagues at the CNR Institute of Clinical Physiology in Pisa, Italy, whose work is published in the journal Science, used CT scans of a tooth found in Riparo Bombrini. They found that the enamel on the crown of the teeth was thicker than that found on Neanderthal teeth and it was more similar in morphology to modern humans. Radio carbon dating also showed that it was 40,000 years old. Using advanced scanning and DNA analysis, researchers have now been able to prove that these teeth belonged to Protoaurignacian humans and are the oldest modern human remains in Europe. They suggest it was the arrival of this modern human culture that marked a turning point in humanity\u2019s evolution and led to the rapid disappearance of Neanderthals in the face of their more advanced cousins. The Aurignacian culture that followed the arrival of these first modern humans produced the world\u2019s earliest known musical instruments and the oldest wall art. They also produced advanced bone and antler based weapons, and are thought to have been behind a 40,000-year-old sculpture known as the Lion Man. Dr Stefano Benazzi, an archaeologist at the University of Bologna in Italy said: \u2018What the results mean is that these two teeth represent the oldest European modern human fossils currently associated with an Aurignacian-related archaeological context. \u2018Human fossil material is very rare, particularly well preserved deciduous teeth. \u2018This finding suggests that the arrival of our species on the continent might have triggered the demise of Neanderthals, which likely disappeared around 39,000 years ago.\u2019 There are very few archaeological remains of the Protoaurignacian culture from when they arrived in", "summary": "Two incisors found in northern Italy have been confirmed to belong to modern humans who were part of the Protoaurignacian culture in Europe .

Wealthy buyers are demanding a lower 'Ed Miliband' price to compensate for any future mansion tax bills introduced by the Labour leader if he becomes Prime Minister. Estate agents in London are now said to be offering a higher 'Cameron price' and lower 'Miliband price' for the same property. Labour leader Ed Miliband, on the BBC's Andrew Marr show (left), has pledged to introduce a mansion tax on properties worth over \u00a32million. The annual levy will hit his own home in north London (right) Mr Miliband has pledged to introduce an annual levy on homes worth more than \u00a32million to raise money for the NHS. Under plans drawn up by shadow chancellor Ed Balls, homeowners with properties worth between \u00a32million and \u00a33million will be forced to pay \u00a33,000 a year in mansion tax. Owners of homes worth more than \u00a33million will have to pay even more. The Tories have dubbed the proposal the 'homes tax' and warned that families living in much more modest properties could be dragged into the levy. Mr Milliband himself has admitted that his North London home would be hit by his party's planned annual levy. David Cameron, on Sky's Murnaghan show this morning, has criticised Labour's proposed mansion tax as a 'home tax' A Labour government could see people's mortgage bills soar by \u00a31,000 a year, George Osborne has claimed. The Chancellor warned warned that the prospect of Ed Miliband propped up by the SNP would lead to a 'clear and present danger' of rising interest rates. Predicting increases in mortgage rates, he said: 'A 1% rise in interest rates would hit the family with the average mortgage with an extra \u00a31,000 bill a year. The price is paid by working people.' The Labour leader lives in a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Dartmouth Park valued at around \u00a32.7million. But if Mr Miliband ever came to sell his home as Prime Minister he could be forced to lower the price to cover the costs of his own mansion tax. According to the Sunday Times, one buyer who is about to exchange contracts on a \u00a315million property in St John's Wood, north London, has threatened to drop his offer to \u00a313.5million if the deal is not completed before May 7 and Mr Miliband becomes Prime Minister. In Notting Hill, west London, a buyer of a property for sale just above \u00a32million has said he will only pay that price only if David Cameron makes it back to Number 10.

The castle's rich military history is still clear to see. One room is named after Churchill and the foundations of the huts built to accommodate visiting troops still stand in parts of the grounds. Preparations: The grounds of the 19th century castle on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll and Bute was used to ready troops for D-Day . Deep waters: Swimming training saw the forces jump off the pier and they then had to wade to shore in full military gear . Army base: Troops were stationed at the castle, where they trained off the coast of Scotland, in preparation for the D-Day landings of 1944 . Camp: With easy access to the sloping shoreline, Castle Toward was a perfect place to train troops in amphibious warfare . Historic: The D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, led to the liberation of France from Nazi control, and contributed to an Allied victory in the war . Timings: The Normandy landings were originally scheduled to take place in May - then postponed until June and put off again at the last minute for 24 hours due to bad weather . Across the UK, troops took part in various military exercises in preparation for D-Day. In late 1943 the war cabinet had agreed to the building of an assault training centre on the south Devon coast, and 3,000 civilians in six villages were ordered to leave their homes. The first large training exercises - on the south Devon coast at Slapton Sands \u2013 revealed communications problems, lack of mission comprehension, poor crisis management abilities and a general sense of chaos. On April 28, 1944, 749 US soldiers and sailors died after three ships involved in a training", "summary": "19th century Castle Toward, near Dunoon, was used to ready soldiers for the D-Day landings in World War Two .

Whatever Villa's Premier League status this summer, Benteke's future will be discussed as his contract, worth \u00a350,000 per week, enters its final two years and the Belgian striker has ambitions to play European football. Wolfsburg have kept tabs on Benteke since before he ruptured his Achilles 12 months ago and remain on the lookout for a striker. The wealthy German club, currently second in Bundesliga, should have funds available from Champions League money, even after their \u00a342million splurge on Chelsea duo Kevin De Bruyne and Andre Schurrle. Christian Benteke celebrates his opening goal against QPR at Villa Park on Tuesday . Villa value their top scorer at \u00a325million however, and even then would remain hugely reluctant to sell with manager Tim Sherwood a big fan. Randy Lerner is set to offload the club come the closed season and new owners will have their own thoughts.

But should Villa slip below the dreaded dotted line and out of the Premier League, Benteke is in line for an approximate 30 per cent reduction on his wages to \u00a335,000 a week. The 24-year-old would look to leave Villa Park in that scenario, rather than play in the Championship, with a host of clubs likely to express interest. There is, however, no relegation release clause. Even if Villa stay in the Premier League Benteke will assess his options. Two years ago he handed in a transfer request to try to force a move to Tottenham Hotspur following his debut season in England yielding 23 goals. The arrival of Tim Sherwood at Villa Park has rejuvenated Benteke's form in front of goal this season . He signed a new four-year deal on vastly improved terms.

His form suffered on return to the side last October, and at times he cut a bereft figure starved of service under Paul Lambert's regime. Lambert even dropped Benteke in his penultimate game in charge at home to Chelsea. Sherwood's arrival has seen Benteke return to his best, with a goal every 87 minutes. That kind of strike rate should keep Villa up, but also alert top-flight clubs.

'Your letter was timely because it was the first from a left-hander and it reminded me that there is a difference in coaching and not just in the fact that one youngster might bowl with the right hand and another with the left,' Benaud wrote. 'The ball, although coming out of the hand in the same manner and going in the same direction towards the batsmen, in fact spins differently for the two types of bowlers.'

Benaud enjoyed a remarkable Test career as a wily leg-spin bowler and middle-order batsman which ended with his retirement in 1964. He was the first player to score 2,000 Test runs and take 200 Test wickets. 'I hope you enjoy your cricket and your bowling,' Benaud said. 'Yes, the left-arm over-the-wrist bowler who spins the ball into the right-hander from outside the off-stump is said to have bowled a Chinaman. The same bowler who spins one away from the right-hander has bowled a wrong'un.' After retiring, Benaud became a commentary icon initially with the BBC in England and later in his native Australia .

A professional boxer killed a nine-year-old girl's guinea pigs in front of her by slowly squeezing the life out them before throwing them out of her window.

Talk. Enter. Kill. Exit. Murder', a prosecutor has said. Charles Severance, 54, who has been charged with the murders of Nancy Dunning, Ron Kirby and Ruthanne Lodato, in Alexandria, Virginia, was in court for a hearing on Thursday. All three victims were gunned down at their homes in daylight attacks: Dunning in 2003, Kirby in 2013 and Lodato last year. At court on Thursday, prosecutor Bryan Porter argued Severance, who was once a fringe candidate for political office, should face just one trial as his writings linked the three murders,The Washington Post reported. Severance's writing appeared to echo a biblical passage and also included the words: 'The last scream of a victim echoes to eternity... Murder on my mind, and my mind on murder.' The prosecution alleged that Severance's plan to kill was outlined in a bizarre piece called 'Parable of the Knocker', based on a bible passage called Parable of the Midnight Knocker. Judge Jane Marum Roush also decided at the hearing that Severance's trial should be moved from Alexandria to Fairfax County because the possibility of an impartial jury seemed unlikely after the hysteria which surrounded the murders. Severance was arrested in March 2014 over the murders after he sought asylum at the Russian Embassy in D.C. He was reportedly 'sent away' from the embassy and told he was an 'unwanted guest'. Accused serial killer Charles Severance, 54, had several outbursts at his court hearing on Thursday in Alexandria, Virginia and was reprimanded by the judge . Alleged serial killer Charles Severance was escorted out following a hearing in his case at the Alexandria Circuit Court on Thursday. His trial will be moved to Fairfax County, a judge ruled, over fears for an impartial jury due to the hysteria surrounding the murders . The murders caused panic among the residents of the wealthy Washington D.C. suburb of Alexandria after they were warned by authorities that a serial killer was on the loose. The shootings were random but took place just blocks from each other when the victims opened their front doors at the same time of day. Ruthanne Lodato, a married mother-of-three, was killed on February 6 last year after a man knocked on her door at 11.30am and opened fire on her and a nurse caring for her mother. Lodato, 59, was rushed to hospital in critical condition but did not survive. The nurse, who was shot in the arm, gave police a description of their bearded attacker.

But these giant arrows, which can measure up to 70ft in length, are actually a forgotten remnant of a bygone age. Dotted among scrubland, placed in seemingly random spots, these huge arrows were once markers for early airmail flights across the US - forming the first land-based navigation system in the world. A huge concrete arrow is found in perfect condition in Bloomington, Washington County, Utah . The Bloomnigton arrow was one of 102 found by retired couple Brian and Charlotte Smith, who have travelled across the US to photograph the monuments . The concrete arrows were placed at the base of lit beacons near airways, showing pilots the direction they needed to fly in to reach the next stop-off to deliver mail. Airmail in the US began as early as 1911, with the first official flight departing Petaluma, California, and arriving in Santa Rosa, California. As the flights got longer, with more frequent stop-offs, so the beacons and arrows were placed to help pilots on their way. Following World War One, the US Postal Service began to use surplus war planes for mail delivery and many were flown by former army pilots. The arrows define a moment in history at the beginning of the 21st century when the US Postal service began delivering air mail . Perfectly set against the snow-capped mountains of Nevada, this arrow was photographed in Golconda, Humboldt County . Captured near the tiny town of Medicine Bow in Wyoming, this beacon was on the famous New York to San Francisco route . One of the most important flight routes and the first to be completed, stretched across the US from New York to San Francisco . The giant arrows started to be placed across the country, sometimes at 10-mile intervals, from 1924. Painted bright yellow and placed alongside beacon with a gas light at the top, the idea was that the markers could be seen for a distance of up to 10 miles so pilots could find their way. In the summer of 1924, they stretched from Wyoming to Ohio and by the following year, the arrows had reached New York. By 1929, the arrows could direct flights all the way across the width of America. The main New York to San Francisco air route stretched from New York to San Francisco, following the yellow concrete trail.

+{"article": "The Eiffel Tower has been closed after workers walked out in support of the unions strike against the government's austerity measures. The nationwide strike follows action by French air traffic controllers which involved a two-day walkout starting yesterday. Now workers at the most visited paid monument in the world have joined the walkout in a solidarity with the thousands taking to the streets across the country in union-led protests against public spending cuts. Signs were placed at the foot of the Eiffel Tower warning that the landmark was closed due to strike action . There are an average 25,000 ascents at the tower every day, and at \u20ac15.50 (\u00a311.25) a ticket, the closure will cost Paris tourism almost \u20ac387,500 (\u00a3280,000) in entry fees, excluding gifts bought and food and drink sales. Speaking to The Local, union representative Stephane Dieu said that '90 per cent' of staff had voted to strike and that signs had been placed at the foot of the tower to ensure 'tourists don't hang around for nothing.' The marches nationwide with a main rally in Paris are a test of how much support unions can muster over spending curbs which they claim undermine public service and purchasing power to the detriment of the euro zone's second-largest economy. Charles de Gaulle Airport, pictured, and other French hubs are being affected by strike action . Local media said staff who man Paris's Eiffel Tower would keep it shut it until 6pm local time as part of the strike. Representative of CGT union, one of the unions who voted to strike, St\u00e9phane God, told AFP that the Tower is expected to be shut for 18 hours in total . Unions said they expected tens of thousands of marchers to join the main rally in Paris by the end of the day. The strike by air controllers has been called because the French air traffic union says their controllers are expected to retire later than their counterparts elsewhere in western Europe. The walk-out is one of a series planned this month, with more industrial action from April 16 to 18 and another walk-out between April 29 and May 2. Plans for the original strike on March 25 were suspended after the fatal Germanwings crash in the French Alps. The Eiffel Tower is due to reopen to the public at around 6pm this evening . Local reports claim turnout across the country is mixed, with just 1,000 taking to the streets in Strabourg, while Toulouse reported 8,000 attending demonstrations. 'We are here ... to get a change of direction from this government which claims it is left-wing,' said CGT official Pierre Tommasi of a march which included hospital, research and transport sector staff.

Governor Mary Fallin signed into law a bill approving nitrogen as an alternative method of death, giving Oklahoma four different ways to enact its death penalty. The method, which involves pumping a chamber full of nitrogen and leaving a prisoner's body to die from lack of oxygen, has been touted as 'foolproof' by supporters, in the wake of the embarrassingly botched lethal injections. Scroll down for video . Gas chamber: The state of Oklahoma has legalized killing death row in-mates with nitrogen. This 1999 file photo shows an Arizona correctional officer explaining his state's execution method . Executions in the state are currently on hold while the Supreme Court ponders whether the three-drug mix now favored by Oklahoma is constitutional. The pause follows an infamous execution last ear, which saw officials struggle to administer a the poison to an inmate, who writhed on the gurney in pain for some 43 minutes before finally dying. Nitrogen - which has never been used to execute humans before - is now the state's second choice. The new bill, effective from November 2015, moves the electric chair back from second preference to third, while firing squad becomes a distant fourth choice if all other methods are unavailable. Proponents tout that nitrogen killings will be 'fast and painless' for inmates - and also say the method is 'foolproof' as it requires no medical expertise or complex procedures. In a statement issued as the bill was signed, Fallin, a Republican, said: 'Oklahoma executes murderers whose crimes are especially heinous. 'I support that policy, and I believe capital punishment must be performed effectively and without cruelty. The bill I signed today gives the state of Oklahoma another death penalty option that meets that standard.' The bill authored by Republican Rep. Mike Christian and Republican Sen. Anthony Sykes had passed the state House on an 85-10 vote and cleared the Senate on a 41-0 vote. Christian, a former Highway Patrol trooper, said: 'The process is fast and painless - it's foolproof.' Opponents say there's no way to know whether the method is painless and effective. 'It just hasn't been tried, so we don't know,' said Rep. Emily Virgin, a Democrat from Norman who opposes the death penalty. The changes come after a botched execution last year in which Oklahoma was using a new sedative as the first in a three-drug combination. State officials tried to halt the lethal injection after the inmate writhed on the gurney and moaned. He died 43 minutes after the process began. Adam Leathers, spokesman for the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, released a statement blasting the new law. 'This is not only a grotesque waste of resources but indicative of a corrupt value system,' he said. 'It is sad to know that our State's collective bloodlust is so unabated that our leadership feels the need to spend resources to put a back up system into place so State sponsored murder can go on", "summary": "Governor Mary Fallin signed bill allowing nitrogen execution into law .

A 24-year-old man who carried out a series of raids on petrol stations and convenience stores has been jailed after boasting about his crimes on Facebook. Jordan Sim-Mutch posted pictures of stolen money and drugs on the social networking site after targeting businesses across Greater Manchester. The career criminal, who claimed he worked in 'midnight removals' in his online profile, was part of an armed gang responsible for 29 robberies and burglaries. Sim-Mutch, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, was jailed yesterday after admitting to a string of offences at Minsull Street Crown Court. On Wednesday night, hours before he was sentenced, Sim-Mutch uploaded a picture taken inside the courtroom that shows he and his fellow gang members in the dock. The photograph of the smirking men - which is now being used as the criminal's 'cover picture' on Facebook - was illegally taken by a friend in the public gallery. A number of supportive comments have since been left on the image, with one saying 'love you Jord' and another posting 'lads on tour'. The court was told the gang carried out a series of armed raids on petrol stations, convenience stores and a pub to pay for cannabis. The men used a number of stolen cars fitted with false licence plates, including a BMW and an Audi A5, to use as getaway vehicles, it was heard. They targeted businesses in groups of four, armed with a variety of weapons including bricks, baseball bats, a meat cleaver, axes, and, on one occasion, an imitation firearm. Three men would enter the premises and hold up staff as the fourth remained in the car. Prosecutor Adam Smith told the court that on one occasion, the men stole nearly \u00a34,000 worth of cigarettes and \u00a31,000 in cash from a BP garage in Bredbury. In another robbery, three of the group walked into a pub and threatened customers with a meat cleaver. Mr Smith said: 'A customer was threatened and told to \"get in the back\" towards the rear cash office where there was a safe. 'One was threatened with the cleaver and two took the member of staff to the office where they were forced to open the safe before they took \u00a32,000.' The gang were involved in 29 robberies and burglaries across areas of Stockport and Greater Manchester. The men were first caught in November 2013, but were granted bail by the courts. When they re-started the operation in February last year, the gang had to carry out their crimes during the day because they were subject to curfews and electronic tagging orders. The gang were caught after police, suspecting they were behind a spree of recent robberies, started to monitor them.

Married Paul Shorter (left), who was a teacher at convicted sex offender Max Clifford's (right) former school in Hersham, Surrey, is facing jail after admitting a string of sex offences . The father-of-one, of Addlestone, Surrey, looked shaken and spoke softly as he admitted two counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust. The judge was told that the girl had not wanted a sexual relationship with Shorter and on one occasion had stormed out of a personal tuition session when he tried to grope her.

Shorter's pregnant wife Joanne, who is expecting his child in six weeks, and other members of his family watched from the public gallery as the charges against him were read out. But Judge Noel Lucas ruled that Shorter could not be sentenced until a victim impact statement had been taken from the girl to find out how his crimes had affected her. The pair met because Shorter was her Maths teacher at the school, which counts convicted sex offender Max Clifford. The 31-year-old Maths teacher kissed the teenager after class at Rydens School in Hersham, Surrey (pictured) Disgraced PR guru Clifford, 71, was jailed in May last year after being convicted of a string of indecent assaults between 1977 and 1984. Judge Lucas passed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order banning Shorter from working with children or having unsupervised contact with anybody under the age of 18. The court heard the former teacher, who has been on bail for the past 15 months, had found 'gainful employment' in a trade that did not bring him into contact with minors. The judge was told he has also been paying to see a psychologist, in a bid to help him to fight depression. Judge Lucas said: 'I am of course sympathetic to the defendant's wife and the situation but your client must be under no illusion that the sentence I pass is likely to be nothing less than an immediate custodial sentence.'

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 \u2018back seven\u2019 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s. Spurs are currently second behind battling Burnley in the EA Sports Performance figures for the average total distance run per game. That\u2019s 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\u2019s defeat at Everton, saying they lost three duels in a row before James McCarthy\u2019 s fifth minute goal. It didn\u2019t 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\u2019s brought the same \u2018they shall not pass\u2019 mentality to Leicester\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.

Professor Susan Greenfield warned that unless people wake up to the damage that the gadget-filled, pharmaceutically-enhanced 21st century may be doing to our brains, we could be sleepwalking towards a future in which neuro-chip technology blurs the line between living and non-living machines, and between our bodies and the outside world. Electronic devices such as mobile phones and computer tablets could be anging the way our brains work, according to a neuroscientist . She said: 'One vital fact I have learnt is that the brain is not the unchanging organ that we might imagine. 'It not only goes on developing, changing and, in some tragic cases, eventually deteriorating with age, it is also substantially shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life. When I say \"shaped\", I'm not talking figuratively or metaphorically; I'm talking literally. At a microcellular level, the infinitely complex network of nerve cells that make up the constituent parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences and stimuli.' The brain, in other words, is malleable - not just in early childhood but right up to early adulthood, and, in certain instances, beyond. The surrounding environment has a huge impact both on the way our brains develop and how that brain is transformed into a unique human mind. Of course, there's nothing new about that:", "summary": "Researchers observed random parents with children at NY playgrounds .

Five years and 225 million units later, it seems many critics have been proved wrong - for now . When Steve Jobs revealed the original iPad in California in early 2010, it was met with derision by many technology experts, who failed to see how such a product would prove popular. At the time, blogger MG Siegler from TechCrunch said: 'Is it a must-have? The quick and dirty answer is: for many people, right now, no. 'Unlike the iPhone, which filled an already well-established need, there is no existing need the iPad fills.' Rhi Morgan at T3 magazine agreed. He said: 'I can\u2019t see anybody who needs a laptop buying an iPad, and I can\u2019t see people using it as a smartphone either.' But opinion soon swung back in Apple\u2019s favour.

There they were: phalanx upon phalanx of shiny new vehicles glinting like Dinky toys in the sun; and I suddenly realised that they weren\u2019t arriving in this country. These cars hadn\u2019t just disembarked from France or Germany or Japan. They were about to make their own journey overseas \u2013 they were British cars, for goodness sake. They were examples of British manufacturing and design and engineering \u2013 and they were about to be loaded on to ships and taken to other European countries, and to Africa, and Asia; and I reflected on one of the most stunning turnaround stories in the economic history of this country.

Britain last year produced more than 1.5 million cars \u2013 the most since 2007 \u2013 and we are poised to overtake France and become the second biggest car manufacturing power in Europe.

I remember when our motor manufacturing industry was in the hands of \u2018conveners\u2019 and \u2018shop stewards\u2019, and when the man who ran British Leyland \u2013 then our biggest car company \u2013 appeared to be an avowedly communist trade union official called Red Robbo. When I was a child I am afraid to say that British cars were the butt of international derision. They leaked oil, and they were generally assembled with such slovenly imprecision they gained a reputation for unreliability that it has taken decades to shake off.

The poncho originated as a rather humble garment worn by South American tribes and later featured on the back of Clint Eastwood in the Spaghetti westerns. However, sales of a designer-label version carrying a personal monogram and costing more than \u00a31,000 have been central to a sales boom at the very British prestige brand Burberry. The ponchos - together with heritage trench coats and scarves - have boosted Burberry sales by 10 per cent over the winter. The wool-and-cashmere designs, which were first modelled on the catwalk by Cara Delevingne, were a huge success among celebrities before Christmas. Famous names including Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Sienna Miller and Sarah Jessica Parker were all seen sporting the ponchos, each monogrammed with their initials. And while the original inspiration for the designs may have been a rather modest attempt to keep out harsh weather, there was nothing modest about the Burberry version. The basic asking price was \u00a3895, while 70 per cent of sales went to customers who wanted their initials monogrammed on to the weave at the cost of an extra \u00a3200. The firm said its scarves and trench coats were a hit with customers and \u2018investment and innovation in ponchos drove exceptional growth\u2019. Chief financial officer, Carol Fairweather, described the impact of the ponchos as \u2018phenomenal\u2019 and suggested new variants are in the pipeline adding: \u2018There\u2019s lots more to come from the poncho story.\u2019 The British brand has become a global success with sales up 10 per cent for the six months to the end of March compared to the year before, taking from up to \u00a31.42 billion. Sales were particularly strong in the UK and Europe, not least because hordes of tourists from China flocked here to buy designer clothes and bags. Currency fluctuations meant its trademark coats and scarves were up to 50 per cent cheaper in European cities than Hong Kong, where the Chinese traditionally shop for luxury merchandise. Actresses Sarah Jessica Parker (pictured left) and Sienna Miller (right) both own the Burberry poncho . Model Suki Waterhouse (pictured left) and socialite Olivia Palermo (right) both have monogrammed versions .

Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran\u2019s agreement to reduce some of its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions would pave the way for Tehran to build an atomic bomb. In Iran yesterday, thousands danced in the streets to celebrate the landmark accord which could finally result in the easing of economic restrictions that have caused the price of essentials to soar and businesses to go bust. Danger: Benjamin Netanyahu said the deal will 'increase Iran's aggression and terror throughout the Middle-East' But Israel, which fears an Iranian nuclear attack, issued a series of dire warnings. Mr Netanyahu insisted that he and his Cabinet were united in \u2018strongly opposing\u2019 an agreement. \u2018This deal would legitimise Iran\u2019s nuclear programme, bolster Iran\u2019s economy and increase Iran\u2019s aggression and terror throughout the Middle East and beyond,\u2019 the prime minister said. \u2018It would increase the risks of nuclear proliferation in the region and the risks of a horrific war.\u2019 Other critics including Saudi Arabia and Republicans in the US say the deal leaves scope for Iran to cheat. Barack Obama, however, has hailed the agreement struck after tortuous negotiations in Lausanne, Switzerland, as a \u2018historic understanding\u2019. There are still many details to be thrashed out before the deal is due to be signed on June 30, including the pace at which sanctions will be lifted and what happens if Iran is found to have breached the terms. But Mr Netanyahu told President Obama in a phone call yesterday that the existing framework \u2018would threaten the survival of Israel\u2019. According to tweets from his spokesman Mark Regev, Mr Netanyahu said: \u2018The deal would not shut down a single nuclear facility in Iran. The deal would legitimise Iran\u2019s illegal nuclear programme. \u2018The alternative is standing firm and increasing the pressure on Iran until a better deal is achieved.\u2019 Historic understanding: President Barack Obama hailed the nuclear agreement between Iran and U.S. while critics issued stark warnings . Mr Netanyahu is demanding that any final agreement must involve Iran\u2019s recognition of Israel\u2019s right to exist. President Hassan Rouhani has pledged that Iran will abide by its commitments in the nuclear agreement, which ends a standoff between Western powers and Iran lasting several years. Countries involved in the so-called P5+1 talks are the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany. Under the proposed terms, Iran must reduce the number of its centrifuges, the equipment used to enrich uranium into nuclear fuel, by two thirds, and can only enrich it enough to use for domestic power generation, not weapons. The deal also means that for the first time the Iranians will agree to have their nuclear plants inspected. And a major nuclear plant at Fordow will have to become a research lab, although one at Natanz can still carry out enrichment. Mr Obama said yesterday: \u2018This will be a long-term deal, that addresses each path to a potential Iranian nuclear bomb.

But now Bon Apetit has come up with a genius way to revive your stale loaf and it involves running it under the tap. And whilst it might sound like an unusual move, they promise that this trick will revive your crusty old bread before dinner time. Bon Apetit have revealed that the best way to revive a stale loaf of bread is to run it under water before baking it in the oven . The first step they suggest is to take your stale bread and run it under your tap. It doesn't matter if the water is hot or cold but you should try to keep the cut edge away from the direct flow of water. Then turn your oven on to a warm temperature - around 150 degrees - and stick the bread inside. For a small loaf you need to allow around 6-7 minutes and for a large, or particularly wet one, around 12 to 13 minutes. The experts say it works because: 'The water turns to steam, which rehydrates the bread\u2019s crumb, or interior, while the heat of the oven firms up the crust.' When you have wet your bread put it in the oven for between 6 and 13 minutes depending on how large and how wet the loaf is . Femail spoke to Lifesum nutritionist Luvisa Nilsson who said that the water trick does actually work, but you must make sure to eat the bread that same day. 'Whilst there might not be any obvious health risks whilst using the water/heat method, it is beneficial not to waste food,' she said.' 'Once you have put your \u2018watered\u2019 bread in the oven or microwave, make sure you eat it within the day, as the warmth and damp may potentially harbour bacteria. Nutritionist Luvisa Nillson says that you should be careful to check that your bread is not mouldy and make sure to eat it within one day . She continued: 'There is however a difference between stale and mouldy bread, and you must watch out for mould. 'Bread should be disposed off if it has orange, green, yellow or black spots as these can be harmful to your gut and cause severe discomfort and stomach ache. 'When bread goes stale it is usually a good sign that It is about to go mouldy, so give the bread a thorough check before consuming.'", "summary": "Bon Apetit have revealed the best way to revive a stale loaf of bread .

'We like to play football, we have a good team and we have good results. 'We are playing for the European spots so I am happy.'

The man posed as a member of the congregation of St James' church in the Gorton area of Manchester to carry out the crime. As well as taking one bag, he tried to steal the contents of two other elderly women's bags before fleeing. Police have released an e-fit and CCTV footage after a thief stole a pensioner's handbag from a church . The thief sat down in a pew next to the 86-year-old for the Good Friday service earlier this month. After grabbing the bag, he targeted an 82-year-old woman but she was alerted when she heard him rustling in her purse. As he fled the church, the thief tried to snatch the handbag from a third woman, also aged 86. But instinctively the woman pushed the thief away as he tried to pull the bag from her shoulder and he ran off. Police have described the incident on April 3 as 'appalling' and have released an e-fit image of the suspected offender. They are appealing to anyone who recognises him to come forward. The thief is described as being a white man, in his 40s of a medium build and wearing a grey hooded top. The incident happened at St James' church in the Gorton area of Manchester on April 3 . Det Con Dave Bennett of Greater Manchester Police said: 'The actions of this underhand and sneaky thief are so shocking that I have no doubt people who live in this area, particularly those who worship at this church, will be very angry. 'He used an important date in the religious calendar and within the sanctity of the church grounds to target elderly women who had simply gone to the church to mark Good Friday.' He added: 'Not only did he pinch one woman's bag, but he also tried to steal two other handbags and was only stopped in his tracks thanks to the vigilance of two of the women. 'It is a sinister, cowardly and disrespectful crime and we need to find the man responsible before he can target anyone else, whether they will elderly people or those attending at the church. 'We have released an accurate likeness of this offender and I would urge people to look very carefully at the image. If you recognise who this man is then please do the right thing and call us.

To this day his creation divides opinion among those who look back on it with contempt, and those who admire his ability to sell it. Born December 18, 1936, in Bottineau, North Dakota, Dahl was raised in Spokane, Washington. In 1975, he was a Los Gatos, California, advertising executive when he came up with the Pet Rock idea. The rock - which was simply a common everyday stone - came with a manual which, tongue in cheek, detailed how the owner should take care of it. It also stated how its owners should make it feel comfortable in its new home, how to train it and how it can be used to attack 'adversaries'.

Doctors are putting the health of women and their babies at risk by performing caesarean sections too readily, UN officials warn. They say the procedure should only be carried out when \u2018medically necessary\u2019 because it can lead to infections and even death. Just over a quarter of women giving birth in England now have a caesarean and the rate has more than doubled since the early 1990s.

But last night experts from the World Health Organisation, the UN\u2019s public health agency, said this figure should ideally be between just 10 per cent and 15 per cent, due to the dangers and costs involved. In a statement, they said: \u2018Although it can save lives, caesarean section is often performed without medical need, putting women and their babies at risk of short- and long-term health problems.\u2019 They added that the procedure can lead to \u2018significant complications, disability or death\u2019 and diverts precious money away from the needs of other patients. A planned caesarean costs the NHS an average of \u00a32,369, compared to a natural birth at \u00a31,665.

'These girls are going to extremes to look like that, and then not being booked for any jobs,' she said. 'And then living with a plus size model who's working every single day and comparing themselves to me.

'They couldn't fathom the fact that they were putting themselves through so much stress and I was so happy with myself.' Wells' comments comes days after France passed legislation banning excessively thin models from participating in Paris Fashion Week. Agents and fashion houses that hire them could also face fines under the new law, which was passed on April 3. The move by France, with its fashion and luxury industries worth tens of billions of euros, comes after a similar ban by Israel in 2013, while other countries, like Italy and Spain, rely on voluntary codes of conduct to protect models.

+{"article": "Robin, now 73, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes by chance in 1999, aged 58 . Robin Ellis shot to fame in the Seventies as the original dashing hero Ross Poldark. At the time, he was as much a heart throb as Aidan Turner, star of the hugely successful BBC remake of the Cornish epic that concludes on Sunday. In fact, even now at the age of 73 Robin has retained the physique that helped make him famous - as he showed in a cameo in the BBC remake. Yet even though he has been slim all his life - 12st, which is perfect for his 6ft 1\u00bdin frame - Robin has type 2 diabetes, a condition that many of us associate with being overweight. In type 2 diabetes, the body's cells fail to react to insulin, causing blood sugar levels to soar which, if uncontrolled, can lead to blindness, kidney damage, heart disease and circulation problems, especially in the feet and legs. Robin was diagnosed by chance in 1999 aged 58 after a friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer and he decided to get himself checked. 'It was clear, but blood tests showed my blood glucose levels were high,' he says. 'Six months later, I was tested again and told I had type 2 diabetes.' He had none of the tell-tale symptoms such as increased thirst or urination. Although he had smoked 20 roll-ups a day for 20 years, he gave up when he was 40. He was running five or six miles a day, and didn't have a sweet tooth. So how did he end up with type 2 diabetes? Normally, it occurs in those who are overweight or who have an inactive lifestyle. This is thought to be linked to excess fat cells releasing chemicals that disrupt the way the body responds to insulin. However, the problem can also develop in apparently slim people with a normal Body Mass Index (BMI). That's because diabetes is strongly linked to visceral fat - which is hidden in the abdomen, around the organs. 'BMI doesn't tell the whole story and it's just as important where the fat is on your body,' says Julian Halcox, professor of cardiology at the University of Cardiff. 'Studies show some people can have a normal BMI, but a higher proportion of fat than you might expect from looking at them.' This does not appear to have been the problem for Robin. He'd been only too aware of the risks of diabetes - his mother died aged 67 of a heart attack brought on by 30 years of type 1 diabetes. Pictured here in Poldark, he was struck by Michel Montignac's book, Dine Out And Lose Weight, which advocates giving up white (refined) carbohydrates rather than counting calories . 'Because of my poor mum's history, I was fully aware of what my diagnosis meant,' he says. Type 2 diabetes has a strong genetic element - if a parent has it, there's a 50 per cent chance their child will, too.

The 49-year-old, who worked at the jail for eight years and was commended for bravery, said some workers would even stay and watch the battle unfold, while others 'turned a blind eye to it'.

Peter Hiett, a decorated former prison guard at Feltham Young Offenders Institution in Hounslow (pictured), claims staff regularly arrange brutal fights between rival criminals behind bars at Britain's toughest jail . The claims echo scenes from 1999 film Fight Club starring Brad Pitt, in which gangsters organise mass brawls in underground 'fight clubs'. Mr Hiett told The Sunday People: 'It was like a sport for them. If two inmates had a grudge they'd put them together in a room to sort it out. 'They only stopped when one was knocked out or couldn't defend themselves any more.' His revelations come after he left the prison in January last year, amid claims he was forced out for trying to lift the lid on the goings-on. He claims the in-fighting was often kept hidden from the overriding authorities, with the prison's management setting up a Behaviour Management Group to 'fiddle the assault figures'. He said common tactics were to treat group attacks as just one assault and to encourage inmates to admit to the lesser charge of health and safety over assault. The former officer said: 'There would be 15 or 20 lads from the same gang on the same wing. They would protect each other, deal drugs. 'And if they saw another gang member all hell broke loose \u2013 their wars don't stop when they're behind bars.

+{"article": "Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has admitted his club will have to buy young talent because the Academy's youngsters are not ready for first-team action. Liverpool star Raheem Sterling has already had his name linked with the defending Premier League champions after his contract stalemate at Anfield. Part of the pressure on City to land fresh young talent comes from FA chairman Greg Dyke's proposal to increase the quota of homegrown players to 12 in Premier League squads. Manuel Pellegrini doesn't believe his current crop of Academy players are up to joining Yaya Toure and Co . Manchester City keeper Joe Hart makes a save during training on Wednesday . Wilfried Bony is more likely to be joined by a young star such as Raheem Sterling than an Academy player . And, with the Blues having failed to produce any regular homegrown first team squad members since Micah Richards and Dedryck Boyata, Pellegrini admits the short-term answer to the need for the new talent does not lie within the squad. Pellegrini said: 'I think about the Academy, we must be patient. This club build all these things because young players are important. 'Maybe it's not so easy for young players, especially at big clubs, to play in the first team, with the professional squad. 'I'm sure in the future we will have very important players coming from the Academy, they will be part of the squad. 'But it's important to be patient, important to have years of working the same way. But you never know. Maybe some talented young players can do it before.' Pellegrini says he is sure the Academy will produce players worthy of his side but urges patience for now . Sterling (here with Brendan Rodgers) would fit the bill for City if his impasse with Liverpool isn't resolved . Sterling would obviously fit the bill and qualify as one of Dyke's homegrown quota if his impasse at Liverpool proves unsolvable. Pellegrini refused to comment directly about the Liverpool and England forward. But he said: 'I think it's important for big clubs to bring in the best players, that's the most important thing. 'If they're all good players, of course I agree with the quota. All the big leagues - especially the Premier League - need the best players to play.' City's need to add 'homegrown' or 'English' players to their squad has seen them linked with a host of top stars, including Arsenal's Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley of Everton. Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, who's coming back from injury through the reserves, has attracted City's interest . Everton and England midfielder Ross Barkley is another 'homegrown' player to have caught their eye . The City manager is not in action until Monday when he takes his team to Crystal Palace and with Chelsea in an apparently commanding lead at the top, Pellegrini admits his side faces eight cup finals. He said: 'I hope we can do it. We have to play eight finals from now until the end. We will see the way we play.

Kate, 33, is due to give birth to her second child in the coming days - providing a little brother or sister to Prince George. William's wife already has a nanny at her disposal as well as her mother Carole, who is moving into the Cambridges' Norfolk home Anmer Hall after the new baby arrives. Scroll down for video . Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge holds Prince George poses for photographers outside St. Mary's Hospital in London shortly after giving birth in 2013. She is currently preparing to give birth to her second child . So just how difficult is it to care for a newborn with a toddler running around? Very, as it turns out. Parenting blogger Emily-Jane Clark, who runs the popular site How To Survive A Sleep Thief, which she describes as 'an antithesis to baby advice', has compiled a list of the ways that a mother can cope with caring for two kids under two. They including avoiding a double buggy, buying several blue bowls and never setting a specific time for meeting people. Read on to catch some of Emily's top tips... Having two children is significantly harder than having one, according to the experts (picture posed by models) 1. Do not bother trying to get anything done ever. While it is tricky to get stuff done with one baby, with two it is practically impossible. I have lost entire days trying to get things done and achieved nothing. You think, 'I know; I\u2019ll write a list, get organised, tick things off as I go along.' Easy, right? Wrong. Five days later you realise you haven\u2019t even managed to finish writing the bloody list. So I suggest doing what you can when you can. Better still just use this list: . Get up. Look after the children. Anything achieved alongside this list is automatically a bonus. 2. Don\u2019t buy a double buggy. You will use it once, realise it is really heavy and annoying and sell it on Ebay. 3. Do not try to get anywhere on time. With two babies on the go, everything takes ages. \u2018Popping out\u2019 becomes a distant memory. I remember a time when nipping out for milk simply meant taking clothes out of the wardrobe, putting them on, grabbing my bag and leaving the house. Now it can take hours as I desperately attempt to scrub baby snot from my clothes with baby wipes, clean bums, clean teeth, change nappies, feed baby, break up fights, chase toddler, dress toddler, dress baby, leave house, forget bag, return to house, leave house, forget baby, return to house, get baby, leave house and then when I finally get to shop, I have forgotten what the hell I went for.

The 15-year-old, from Whitley Bay, was left on a heart machine after she collapsed through starvation but has now spoken about pressures put on teenagers to be a 'size zero'. Laura became so obsessed with having the perfect figure she would hide food down the side of her bed, lying to her mother about eating and sometimes surviving on just a piece of fruit a day. Scroll down for video . Laura Scurr, 15, has spoken out about the pressures on young girls to be a size zero after, having becoming obsessed with her own weight, she developed anorexia . But her dramatic weight loss led to horrific consequences when she suddenly collapsed at her family home and was rushed to intensive care. Laura has spoken about her two-year fight with anorexia and revealed the pressures she felt to be thin. She said: 'At the worst point I was hiding food down the sides of the settee or beds, lying to my mum about having meals, and eating about 100 calories a day. 'I would even try to have mashed potato with each meal so I could hide the rest of the food under it, that way it looked like I'd ate more.' After spending a week on a heart monitor at North Tyneside General Hospital, Laura was finally offered support from eating disorder organisations as she began her recovery. Problems started for the teen two years ago when she decided she wanted to go on a diet. 'I was nearly 13 stone and felt like I was too big,' Laura said. 'I'd been bullied a little bit because of my weight, people saying things like 'here comes the whale' and that made me feel horrible. Laura was living off just one piece of fruit a day and would hide her food down the side of her bed so her parents wouldn't see it . Laura continued: 'I would look around at the other girls and they all seemed to be skinny and, of course, I wanted to be like them and fit into all the different types of clothes. 'But it wasn't just people I knew. I felt there was a lot of pressures from all over the place. Everywhere you looked there seemed to be this idea that girls should be a size zero.' Laura agreed with mum Sue, 48, to go on a 'sensible diet' but soon the Whitley Bay High School pupil became frustrated, wanting to lose more weight, quicker. According to the NHS Anorexia or Anorexia nervosa, to give its full name, is a serious mental health condition in which people try to keep their body weight as low as possible.

The big hit for our boys was the pool complex - it included a waterfall and 'rapids' section that kept them amused for hours. The other attraction was other children's toys, and we spent a great deal of our time returning them to our neighbours' tents to preserve community relations and other parents' sanity. The campsite has immaculate facilities. There are plentiful and clean showers, family washing areas, waist-high baby baths and even a dog shower area. Most important of all, the site felt safe and relaxed. Most parents let their children scoot and cycle around on their own and the little ones loved the freedom.

Ayatollah Hossein Dehnavi, a celebrity preacher in Iran, made the speech to a packed auditorium of men and women in his home country. It is the latest controversial teaching put forward by Dehnavi, who also warned that if women did not wear the hijab - the veil covering the hair and chest - properly, they could inadvertently cause some men to become homosexual. Islamic cleric Dehnavi is a celebrity in his native Iran, giving speeches on relationships and family values . While thinking about another woman while having sex with your wife is not a sin, the Iranian ayatollah preaches, if she becomes pregnant it will mean the child will be gay. Homosexuality is punishable by death in the state . On past occasions He has preached that women must provide sex to their husbands at all times - and said women who are better educated or are financially independent 'harm men's authority'. 'One of the other duties of women in regard to their men is to take care of their men\u2019s instinctive needs [sexual drive]', the cleric said in a report by The Clarion Project, an organisation against extremism. 'Do not break their pride and [you must] be more sensitive toward them' During another speech, the ayatollah explain that it is not a sin for a man to think about another woman while he is having sex with his partner, but if she becomes pregnant as a result the child will be gay. Incorrectly wearing the hijab, Dehnavi also warns, could lead to some men becoming homosexual.

The statements, thought to have been made in 2012 and 2013, came to light after being shared by Gay Star News this week. Homosexual acts are punishable by death in Iran, with gay and lesbian people forced to hide their sexuality. A man involved in the 'dominant' role in sodomy faces being flogged up to 100 times if he is unmarried and the sex is consensual, while the man playing the 'passive' can still be put to death regardless of his marriage status, according to a report in The Guardian. Lesbians faced being whipped 100 times, but sex between two women can also lead to the death penalty if the act is committed four times. Following his teachings, Dehavni says, will ultimately lead to 'peace on earth'. In another speech he controversially suggested that women should always be sexually available for their husbands . Men become 'saturated' if they have too much sex, Dehavni warns - suggesting becoming intimate once or twice a week is enough.

But that is exactly what happened when Jean-Honor\u00e9 Fragonard\u2019s 18th-century work Young Woman was replaced by a hand-painted replica, produced in China and ordered over the internet for \u00a370. It has hung in among 270 Old Master paintings since February 10 after a challenge was laid down to the public to 'spot the fake'. Now, three months on, the gallery has revealed that only 10 per cent of the 3,000 people who visited during the experiment guessed correctly. Scroll down for video . Can you spot the difference? A member of the public compares the original painting by Jean-Honore Fragonard (left) and the replica ordered on the internet from China (right) at the Dulwich picture gallery . But the gallery's chief curator, Xavier Bray, said that he was impressed a number of people had managed to spot the imposter hidden among the Rembrandts, Rubens and Murillos. He told MailOnline: 'It was a fascinating experiment which gave us a chance to test art connoisseurs and we saw visitor numbers quadruple because of it. 'It made people look closely at a painting and discern what might be a replica and why. Ten per cent got it right, which means Britain as a nation is still a nation of connoisseurs, which is great. 'Unfortunately others got it wrong. A number of visitors presumed the imposter was a female portrait by Rubens, which had been restored 10 years ago, because it appeared brighter. But that was interesting as it allowed us to find out more about the way the public look at our paintings.' The idea for the exhibition, titled Made in China, came from American artist Doug Fishbone. Its aim was to make people think about the way they look at, appreciate and value artistic masterpieces. Mr Bray said Dulwich was keen to challenge the public to 'spot the fake' as a way of engaging with visitors and making the picture gallery more interactive. Visitors were challenged to spot the replica among 270 Old Master paintings. Only 10 per cent of them guessed right. The original and fake are now hanging together, making the difference more obvious . 'Fascinating experiment': The gallery's chief curator, Xavier Bray (pictured), said visitor numbers quadrupled after the 'spot the fake' challenge was laid down to the public at the beginning of February . The power of the museum: Mr Bray said the gallery was not planning any similar experiments. Instead, his attention has turned to whether the fake will now become a work of art in its own right .

'While the 2002 Ford Taurus is a fine car, it's not exactly exciting with just a couple of photos on Craigslist on its own,' he told the Daily Mail Online. 'I thought I would add a little flair to it, plus I was bored on a Sunday.' Django Greenblatt-Seay, 33, made a Craigslist ad for his 2002 Ford Taurus stand out by filming a commercial for the car he is selling for $3,000 . Greenblatt-Seay used a drone to film this cinematic overhead shot at Hummel Park in Omaha, Nebraska . The video begins from far overhead, showcasing the silver car as just a speck among the vast expanse of trees at Hummel Park in Omaha, Nebraska. Greenblatt-Seay used his drone, a DJI Inspire 1 model, to capture the cinematic effect before dramatically zooming in on the car's tires, headlights, dashboard and seats like a classic car commercial. Perhaps the best effect of the ad is that it is soundtracked with an old-fashioned 1987 Ford Taurus commercial.

By the end, remarkably, the three-time champions Leinster were hanging on for dear life as wave after wave of Bath attack threatened to deliver one of the great European comebacks. They fell short, but there was pride to be taken in this. Driven on by their pocket general Ford, Bath somehow came within a whisker of finding a way into the last four.

It comes down to small margins and I thought the penalty at the end was a dead-set penalty to us.\u2019 He would say that, of course.

Rarely making a false move, dragging his side along with some intelligent kicking, brave distribution and a sharp eye for the gap.

Hugo Mbaeri, 25, from Portsmouth allegedly handed over customer names, account details and signatures to a gang of fraudsters while he was working at Nationwide Building Society, a court heard. The alleged ringleader of the scheme, Olawabiyi Ayanwale, who is not before the court, set up standing orders by impersonating the victims, it is said.

The personality traits are also supposedly affected by whether parents have high expectations and how strict they were. FIRST-BORNS .

(Pictured from left to right) Beyonc\u00e9 and Kate Middleton are famous first-borns. Oldest children tend be ambitious and have strong leadership skills . They also tend to have better leadership skills than other birth orders. The explanation is because although they get a lot more affection and attention from their parents, their parents have higher expectations as the first child. This works as a self-fulfilling prophecy: if there are high expectations placed on you, you are more likely to want to work hard and live up to these expectations.

Middle-born children apparently tend to be more co-operative, flexible and sociable. They are also the birth order that are able to make and maintain friendships easily. This is due to the fact that as a middle-born child, there aren't the high expectations of the first child, nor the relaxed attitude accorded to the last child. As a result, they also tend to be less ambitious than their older brothers and sisters, and so will have a more relaxed attitude in life. As middle children receive less attention than their other siblings, they seek out relationships and friendships outside of their family, and can be social butterflies.

Easter Road striker Gary Deegan caught Dens defender Gary Irvine high on his right shin in a dangerous challenge. Referee Craig Charleston saw an incident, but not the gory details. The official had his view obstructed by bodies and because of that the SFA could take no action. The governing body immediately took the stance they *should* be allowed to use video evidence to review incidents the referee had clearly missed. They altered the rules. Rules over use of video evidence to retrospectively ban players changed after this challenge by Gary Deegan (right) on Gary Irvine . PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart disagreed, telling them so. And on Thursday night he renewed his call for member clubs to put the genie back in the bottle amidst widespread unease at the fact Meekings might have missed a Scottish Cup Final because a referee and his assistants failed to see a handball in last Sunday\u2019s semi-final victory over Celtic. Retrospective action, believes the Scottish players\u2019 union, has become too far reaching.

They moved to change that. \u2018But as has been proven with Meekings, it was opening a whole can of worms as you are effectively re-refereeing the games.

Under the existing rules, SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan was within his rights to charge the player. He had denied Celtic a goalscoring opportunity with his hand. The officials had missed it and, reviewing the video evidence, the governing body believed it was a red-card offence punishable retrospectively. Echoing the views of FIFA vice president Jim Boyce and others, however, Wishart believes the rules have gone too far.

US scientists have found a way to use discarded corn husks and stalks to make cheap hydrogen fuel that doesn't pollute the environment like fossil fuels. The breakthrough could one day see the fuel being produced locally and drivers stopping to refuel their vehicles at roadside bioreactors instead of pumping petrol into their motor. US scientists have found a way to use discarded corn husks and stalks to make cheap hydrogen fuel that doesn't pollute the environment like fossil fuels and it could accelerate the take up of biogas for cars . Eco-friendly hydrogen cars, which are already a reality, emit only water, but the gas is expensive and is not easy to store, meaning more research is needed for hydrogen cars to become mainstream. Now, researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University have shown that it\u2019s possible to convert 100 per cent of the sugar in corn stalks and husks \u2013 a by-product of farming \u2013 into hydrogen gas, which can be used to power vehicles. It\u2019s previously only been possible to convert between 30 and 60 per cent of plant sugar into hydrogen, by using industrial catalysts or fermenting techniques, The Independent reported. The ultimate aim is to produce large quantities of hydrogen from crop waste efficiently, because many present methods either cost too much or use food crops. The breakthrough could one day see the fuel being produced locally and drivers stopping to refuel their vehicles at roadside bioreactors instead of pumping petrol into their motor. For years, scientists have been working out how to develop fuel cell cars powered by pure hydrogen, but are unsure how to store the substance effectively. Now, researchers from India's Benaras Hindu University may be close to solving this problem using coconut kernels to store hydrogen in gas form. Storing liquid hydrogen is notoriously difficult as it must be held at extremely low temperatures, which is expensive and tricky in the confines of a car. To store it in its gaseous state, would mean that vehicles would have to be fitted with large, pressurised tanks, which is not practical. So instead, experts have focused on finding materials, such as carbon, which can absorb hydrogen and release it on demand. Professor Viney Dixit and his team, at the university\u2019s Hydrogen Energy Centre created carbon from coconut kernels, which contain fatty and organic acids as well as potassium, magnesium and sodium. He says that the kernels, which are easily found, are cheap and can easily be converted into carbon. \u2018Unlike graphene, Carbon nano tubes (CNTs) and other type of carbons, the production of carbon from solid endosperm is not time taking, he wrote in a research paper. \u2018Therefore, its cost-effectiveness, good adsorption capacity and easy availability are its advantageous factors in regard to hydrogen storage.\u2019 The researchers found that the carbon produced from the kernels could store a \u2018considerable\u2019 amount of hydrogen. Two scientists developed a process to make more", "summary": "Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University researchers found a way to use discarded corn husks and stalks to make cheap hydrogen fuel . Used efficient method to convert 100% of plant sugars into 'green' fuel . It's previously only been possible to convert 60% of sugars into hydrogen .

The Kennel Club says seemingly harmless foods such as hot cross buns and onions can be killers \u2013 and is urging owners to be alert to the threat. Around 56,000 dogs were treated for poisoning between 2010 and 2014, according to figures compiled by the charity and the Veterinary Poisons Information Service. Of those, 470 dogs died. Sick: Around 56,000 dogs were treated for poisoning by vets between 2010 and 2014 . Unlike Crufts prizewinner Jagger the Irish setter, who died last month after eating meat laced with poison, most poisoned pets will simply have eaten something they found lying around the home or fallen ill after being fed treats by their well-meaning owners. Painkillers were the most common cause of poisoning, followed by rat and mouse bait and chocolate \u2013 which can cause sickness, diarrhoea and fits and trigger heart problems. Dark chocolate is particularly toxic. Foods such as sultanas, grapes and raisins are also highly dangerous for dogs, causing canine kidneys to fail. Dried forms of the fruit found in cakes are the most toxic. Onions, garlic and leeks can cause life-threatening anaemia. Nick Sutton, a Kennel Club poisons expert, said: \u2018There are any number of ways a dog can get access to dangerous and potentially lethal substances, whether by accident, deliberate feeding or through owners mistakenly believing certain products \u2013 particularly foods eaten by humans \u2013 are fine for a dog to eat. \u2018Many seemingly harmless foods can be dangerous for a dog and owners need to be aware of these risks in order to protect their much-loved pets.\u2019 The popularity of e-cigarettes has seen them feature more prominently among poisoning cases, with 64 dogs taken to the vet in 2014 after chewing the nicotine-rich refills \u2013 an increase of 300 per cent. However, many more cases are suspected to have occurred, because not all poisonings are reported. Chewing gum was another major cause of poisoning. Just one pack of gum can prove deadly, causing dangerous drops in blood sugar and liver failure. If you fear your dog has been poisoned, the Kennel Club urges owners to contact their vet immediately, even if their dog appears well, as it can take several days before symptoms appear. Mr Sutton said: \u2018Dogs are very intelligent, very curious and have a great sense of smell. \u2018But we have to be careful about feeding them things that aren\u2019t intended for them.\u2019", "summary": "About 56,000 dogs treated by vets for poisoning between 2010 and 2014 .

Britain is paying professional aid workers up to \u00a31,000 a day to work in Africa and Asia as part of a huge push to meet government targets on aid spending, it was claimed last night. Spending on consultants has doubled to \u00a31.4billion over the past four years and now makes up more than ten per cent of all foreign aid spending, an investigation revealed. Hundreds of \u2018team leaders\u2019 working on aid projects earn at least \u00a3120,000 a year once the costs of their expenses, security and accommodation are taken into account, an investigation found. Daily rates of between \u00a3800 and \u00a31000 are commonplace, the Times newspaper claimed. The revelations will return attention to Britain\u2019s growing aid budget, which now accounts for some \u00a312 billion of public spending a year. The Coalition government committed to spending 0.7 per cent of national income on foreign aid \u2013 and even passed legislation to enshrine the target into law. That target means that aid spending will increase every year if the economy grows, even if other areas of government spending face swingeing cuts. David Cameron has been criticised for ramping up aid spending while slashing funding for the police, defence and justice. The details of consultant spending sparked outrage among backbench Tories who have opposed the aid target. Philip Davies, who is Tory parliamentary candidate for Shipley said: \u2018When people think of overseas aid they think of people who have aid their homes damaged by an earthquake, a hurricane or a tsunami. They don\u2019t expect to be lining the pockets of consultant fat cats. \u2018This is what happens when you are judged only by how much you are spending. How you actually spend the money becomes immaterial. It leads to grotesque waste and overspending.\u2019 The Department for International Development said it uses private sector companies as well as charities to deliver aid projects if they were the best placed to do the job. But officials insisted that spending on external consultants giving advice to the department had fallen. A spokesman said: \u2018DfID has slashed spending on external consultancy and advisory services by 98.9 per cent since 2009, down to just \u00a3200,000 last year, but we rightly continue to use the private sector where it delivers aid projects on the ground that are effective and the best value for money.\u2019 Afghan widows queueing up and waiting to receive aid in Kabul, Afghanistan . The Times quoted anonymous \u2018insiders\u2019 claiming that private firms were making huge profits of 50 per cent on aid projects. A report in January by the National Audit Office found civil servants at the department went on a \u00a31billion spending spree over eight weeks to hit the government target. Money was spent at the end of last year on humanitarian programmes but MPs questioned whether the rate of spending meant it achieved value for money.

Uncertain future: Hostetler realized his vision, but after he died in 2006 the home became a spectacle when no longer attached to its creator . Currently trying to sell off the home is Indiana-born, Florida-based tech investor Chad Folkening, reports the Indy Star. He purchased the home in foreclosure following Hostetler's 2006 death. He listed it for $2.2 million in February 2012. By December 2013, that number had dropped to $1,295,000. Last week, the asking price dropped to $862,000. But the home's newest listing agent is keeping an upbeat attitude. 'I showed it to two serious buyers last week,' agent Tiff Atkinson told the Star.

Alexander Kristoff celebrates by spraying champagne after winning the Tour of Flanders . Norway's Kristoff poses after beating off competition from Niki Terpstra to win the Tour of Flanders race . The highly-fancied Kristoff came home in a time of six hours, 26 minutes and 38 seconds, with Terpstra just behind and local hope Greg van Avermaet of Belgium (BMC) seven seconds back in third. Thomas, looking to become only the second Briton to win the event after Tom Simpson in 1961, finished in the chasing pack almost a minute back. It was not to be for Team Sky, who had pushed hard throughout as they sought their first win in one of cycling's big five classic one-day races - and one that was not short of incident. Sir Bradley Wiggins, in one of his last rides for Team Sky, was one of a number of riders to hit the deck during the race when he crashed in the middle of the peloton while trying to negotiate a tight left-hand turn. Team Sky's Geraint Thomas finished in 14th position after struggling to close the gap on the likes of Kristoff . Although he needed a spare bike, Wiggins was able to continue but other riders suffered worse with New Zealander Jesse Sergent - who was part of a seven-man breakaway group - suffering what was feared to be a fractured collarbone after being hit by a neutral service car as it tried to overtake him. Incredibly, there was another incident involving a support car later on which saw Sebastien Chavanel also knocked off his bike and out of the race. The Frenchman was hit by his team car after it had been rear-ended by another vehicle. Other riders were also involved in spills on the testing surfaces while there was a near moment of farce when one of the inflatable markers straddling the road started to deflate, leaving the riders with barely enough room to get underneath without having to break stride. The late drama was created by Kristoff and Terpstra, though. They escaped the pack with around 30 kilometres left and, with no one able to catch them, it was down to one of them to take the crown. Terpstra bided his time on the final straight as he sat on Kristoff's wheel waiting for the right moment to attack, but when he did", "summary": "Norway's Alexander Kristoff won race after sprint finish with Niki Terpstra .

While Josh Darnbrough, 24, slept, his mate Rob Gaskell, also 24, inked the words 'If found face down call an ambulance' on his back, using a DIY kit. Josh, from Mossley, near Ashton, only discovered the prank the following day after looking in a mirror - and said his partner went 'absolutely bonkers' when she saw it. Josh Darnbrough awoke after a party to find that his friend had tattooed his back . Josh (centre) was tattooed by his friend Rob Gaskell (right) who was taking revenge on his mate after Josh had attempted to tattoo Rob with an at-home kit and it went horribly wrong . Rob said he carried out the practical joke on Josh, who had passed out at a New Year's Eve party, in revenge for a tattoo Josh did on Rob's leg two years ago - which had gone horribly wrong. Starting off with a design for a lizard, Josh tried to turn it into a cross, then some hands and a gun - leading to one almighty, permanent mess on Rob's leg and causing his partner to go 'bonkers'. So when he saw Josh passed out at the party, Rob - who is a father of three - said he 'couldn't resist' the opportunity to execute revenge - and spent 30 minutes etching his own design into his mate's back. Amazingly, the prank hasn't harmed the pair's friendship - and the childhood friends, who are both having their tattoos removed, still see each other every day. But Rob does admit to regretting the prank once he had sobered up. He said: 'The opportunity presented itself and I couldn't resist. 'I didn't feel guilty when I was doing it because I'd had a few drinks myself but I was quite remorseful afterwards and asked everyone not to tell Josh who had done it.' Josh, who is a support worker, said although it was a shock, he has managed to see the funny side. 'I was pretty astonished when I looked in the mirror - I thought, \"I didn't go to bed with a tattoo\"', he said. 'I didn't know when I'd got it and no one would tell me who'd done it. But since I found out it was Rob it hasn't affected our friendship at all - we still see each other every day. It's just practical jokes between mates.'

Dave Doggett, the chairman of Cambridge United, has warned of a new breed of hooliganism and believes groups of up to 10 men - aged in their 50s and 60s - are trying to relive the 1980s by arranging fights with rivals . Mr Doggett said violence at matches has increased recently as older men return to watching their team play in their retirement and fears there is a danger that they will try to encourage younger fans to join their 'gangs' Writing in his club's latest programme, Mr Doggett said: 'Unfortunately football clubs still attract an undesirable element of society that appear determined to ruin the enjoyment of real supporters of football clubs. 'Our promotion to the Football League appears to have encouraged our \"risk\" from the 1980s to come out of retirement. 'Many of them are grandparents trying to encourage the next generation to join their \"gangs\". 'It sounds pathetic but unfortunately it is reality. We are working closely with police. 'Hopefully the reality of the potential consequences will dissuade some of our younger supporters from becoming involved with these undesirables. 'Our football club is too important to so many to allow a few to ruin our great sport.' Peter Woor, a Cambridge United fan, said he had noticed that the hooliganism of the 1970s and 1980s still lingers in games against local rivals such as Southend United and Luton Town. He said: 'There's a tension and you feel threatened so I don't go to those places anymore. It's not worth it. 'Most places are fine though, but you still tend to go to away games and keep your colours hidden. 'I remember the 1970s and 1980s and it was horrendous and of course it's nothing like that but it's still a problem. 'These people must have something missing in their lives to want to do this.

The Maglev train completed a test run on a track in Yamanashi, beating the previous record of 361mph (580km/h) set in 2003. Another attempt is scheduled for tomorrow, and engineers at the Central Japan Railway Company predict it could reach 373mph (600km/h). Scroll down for video . A Japanese bullet train has broken the speed record for rail vehicles by reaching 366mph (589km/h) Maglev trains use magnets to lift the carriages above the track. This eliminates the need for wheels and therefore any incidence of friction, providing a faster and quieter service. Acceleration and deceleration far exceeds that of conventional trains. And maglev also makes for much smoother journeys. Right now speeds are limited at up to 400 kilometres (250 miles) per hour due to the excessive air resistance encountered at these speeds. But vacuum tube designs could allow them to travel over seven times faster in the future. The seven-car train was able to go so fast because it made use of a magnetic charge to lift and move it above a guideway. The technology promises a ride that's smoother, quieter and almost twice as fast as traditional high-speed rail. The speeds, however, won't be as high when the new line between Tokyo and Nagoya comes into service in 2027. According to engineers, the trains will travel at 314mph (505km/h), which will cut the journey time for a 178-mile journey by more than half. For comparison, the UK's HS2 rail line will run at 224mph (360km/h). The Maglev trains are expected to eventually consist of 16 carriages and carry up to 1,000 passengers at a time. Japan is well-established as the world leader in high-speed trains, having developed the first 'bullet train' in 1964 . It is now hoping to bring the technology to the US and has outlined plans for a line between Washington and Baltimore, which will cut travel times between the cities to just 15 minutes. Maglev was first proposed as a method to propel trains as far back as the mid 20th century. The first commercial maglev train to come into operation was a relatively low-speed shuttle at Birmingham International Airport in 1984. This travelled at a rather mundane 26mph (42km/hr). It was not until the turn of the century, though, that high-speed maglev would come into commercial operation, mostly in Japan and China. The technology promises a ride that's smoother, quieter and almost twice as fast as traditional high-speed rail. The speeds won't be as high when the new line between Tokyo and Nagoya comes into service in 2027 . China was the first country to have a commercially-operated Maglev service. The Shanghai Maglev opened to the public in January 2004, and has a top commercial operational speed of 268mph due to the short track length.It cost $1.3billion (\u00a3830million) to build. Manufacturers claim that Maglev technology is less polluting than the flights that currently link the cities. But not everyone is convinced that the technology is safe.

Mark Hamill knew he had to say yes when George Lucas told him about the plans to move forward with a new Star Wars trilogy. 'It's not like a choice. It's like I was drafted,' Hamill told a massive crowd Saturday night at Star Wars Celebration of his decision to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. 'Could you imagine if for some reason I said 'I don't think I want to do it?' I would have all of you surrounding my house like villagers, angry villagers with lightsabers instead of torches,' joked the 63-year-old Star Wars veteran. Hamill admitted he was caught off guard when Lucas invited him to lunch. When Hamill's wife surmised that perhaps there was a new film in the works, Hamill laughed. Lucas had told him specifically that he was done making Star Wars movies after the prequels. He assumed Lucas was going to announce a 3-D release or roll out another box set of the films, laughing about the number of versions that have been made available. Still, his interest was piqued when Lucas disinvited Hamill's daughter. He knew that meant it must be big. When things started coming together, Hamill said he was cautiously optimistic about J.J. Abrams, the chosen director for The Force Awakens. 'I was a little suspicious because he was a Star Trek guy,' said Hamill, laughing. The actor quickly clarified that he likes Star Trek. 'It just seems odd,' he said. They're back: Hamill is pictured above with Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, and Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO . Oldschool: Hamill is pictured left with Fisher and Harrison Ford, who plays Han Solo, in the first Star Wars film . He went on to compliment Abrams for his inclusiveness. Abrams, Hamill noted, is also the first 'Star Wars' director to be borne out of true fandom of the original films. 'He feels the way you feel in terms of wanting practical effects. Real sets,' he said. Keeping in line with the secrecy surrounding The Force Awakens, which opens on December 18, Hamill said he is always worried about leaking information.

Evaluating the greatest ever fights is a complex variable of several factors including not only the quality and excitement of the action but the political, social and cultural undertones, the scale of expectation and outside influences. Where Money Man v PacMan comes to rank among the most important fights in ring history will depend upon what happens that coming night in the MGM Grand Garden Arena. In this, the fifth in a series of 12 fights that shaped boxing history, I look back on one of the greatest sporting events of all time. THE NEAR-DEATH FIGHT . Muhammad Ali v Joe Frazier . The Thrilla in Manila . Quezon City, Philippines . October 1, 1975 . Just as they are saying about Mayweather v Pacquiao, the perceived wisdom was that Ali-Frazier was coming five years too late for two great boxers in their 30s. Let us hope they are so spectacularly wrong again. That star-spangled night in New York when Smokin' Joe knocked down and defeated The Greatest had been followed in 1974 by a tamer, scrappier, points victory for Ali.

Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos, like Zaire's President Mobuto before him, saw sponsorship of the fight as a distraction from the poverty and social unrest in his country. It was Ali who became most distracted during the build-up. When invited to a photo-opportunity with Marcos and his infamously big-spending wife Imelda, he took his mistress Veronica Porsche along and introduced her as his wife. Mrs Belinda Ali watched that happen on US television and immediately flew to Manila to confront her husband, loudly, in his hotel suite. Ali returned to his customary psychological baiting of his opponents. He had insulted Frazier before their first fight and did so again chanting: 'It will be Killa and a Thrilla and a Chilla when I get The Gorilla in Manila.' Thus the title for the fight, The Thrilla in Manila, was coined. Ali pictured alongside his infamously big-spending wife Mrs Belinda Ali in September 1975 .

The population was deemed healthy in hundreds of the northern European fisheries analysed and experts say the fish is closer to being certified as a sustainable species. Consumers were previously told to eat gurnard instead of cod after stocks plummeted in the 1980s and 1990s, but the industry has steadily recovered since regulations were put in place in 2006. North Sea cod stocks are on the rise after being heavily overfished and could be sustainable in five years . However the findings by Seafish and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) revealed that one in nine fisheries operate sustainably, with 400 suffering from serious failings in data management. The exact cod stock figures remain unknown due to a severe lack of scientific data on the number of fish caught every year, according to the Guardian. Dr Tom Pickerell, technical director at industry-funded Seafish, which represents the seafood industry, told the paper he was surprised at how close the North Sea cod is to being certified. He said: 'I would like to think within a decade we will have MSC-certified North Sea cod. I would like to put it closer \u2013 where within five years it could look at entering the system.' Cod stocks plummeted in the 1980s and 1990s, but the industry has steadily recovered since regulations were put in place in 2006 . The findings by Seafish and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) did reveal however that one in nine fisheries operate sustainably, with 400 suffering from serious failings in data management . Although eight out of nine fisheries fell short Dr Pickerell remains optimistic, adding: 'It's a question of glass half full or half empty. Trawling in the North Sea saw catches grow each year until the 1980s, with figures for cod peaking at 300,000 tonnes in the 1970s. Various regulations were put in place to protect the stocks of fish, including limited fishing times and limited numbers of fishing boats. But these rules were never systematically enforced and did not bring much relief. After the UK joined the EU, which introduced the Common Fisheries Policy, the problem of overfishing was steadily brought under control. Numbers fell to below 70,000 tonnes for the first time in 1999 and reached its lowest level of 28,900 tonnes in 2006. A report in 2012 suggested that there were only 100 adult cod, which become more fertile as they age, left in the North Sea. Researchers warned a lower life expectancy meant a lower birth rate and a faster decline. But in 2013 the first signs of recovery started to show as the Marine Stewardship Council recognised cod could be on track for certification. 'We are looking at it as glass half full because we now have an action plan. We would have been in the dark without this research.' The research included 450 inshore fisheries, which were assessed against the criteria set out by the MSC to be considered", "summary": "North Sea cod populations are healthy in hundreds of fisheries analysed .

Tewksbury Police Department came under attack by criminals who infected their network with a form of Internet malware in December before demanding money to decrypt the files. The program called CryptoLocker infects through an e-mail and then scrambles the data on the computer. It caused police systems to be down between four and five days, according to Tewksbury Town Crier. Tewksbury Police Department (above) came under attack by hackers which encrypted their computers' files using a malware program called CryptoLocker. They were forced to pay a $500 in Bitcoinransom . The only files that were not corrupted were 18 months old, so cops were left paying the ransom in the untraceable digital currency or they risked losing the data forever, according to the Boston Globe. 'Nobody wants to negotiate with terrorists. Nobody wants to pay terrorists,' Police Chief Timothy Sheehan told the Town Crier. 'We did everything we possibly could. 'It was an eye opening experience, I can tell you right now. It made you feel that you lost control of everything. Paying the Bitcoin ransom was the last resort.' Police Chief Timothy Sheehan said: 'It made you feel that you lost control of everything. Paying the Bitcoin ransom was the last resort' The department was hit with the ransomware on December 7 when access to the infected computers became restricted and a payment was required to recover the files. Police became aware of the malware infection the following day. Computers were hit with a more recent form of CryptoLocker that authorities did not have the key to, said Sheehan. It is believed that the Officer In Charge's computer became infected and the virus traveled to the largest store of data on the network which held files including arrest logs, motor vehicle records, calls for service and records management, according to the Town Crier. CryptoLocker is malware that is often installed on computers at the same time. CryptoLocker locks your computer, encrypts files and demands a ransom for them to be unlocked. Computers can become corrupted through phishing emails that include malicious attachments and pop-up ads. According to reports from last year, the U.S. Government admitted that at least one police force has been forced to pay a $750 ransom to release sensitive files. When a Tewksbury officer tried to access the data, a demand for $500 was sent from a web address and account that is untraceable by authorities including the FBI and National Security Agency. After this sort of infection occurs there are only two options which include accessing the most recent back-up or paying the ransom. As Tewksbury's back-up was corrupted they were forced to pay the ransom, but Sheehan also noted that the malware infection was not a data breach. 'This isn't a breach. [The data] stays interior, but this virus encrypts it and prevents it from being readable,' Sheehan told the Town Crier.

New Yorker Sarah Theeboom was inspired to give up using products on her hair after she ran into an old friend whose once dry, frizzy locks were smooth and shiny. When Sarah asked for her secret, her friend explained that she had simply stopped shampooing, opting to partake in the apparently-popular 'no poo' movement, which Sarah had never heard of until that moment. 'I wasn\u2019t in love with it, and I just didn\u2019t really know what to do,' she told Seventeen. 'I wanted to try my friend\u2019s trick and stop shampooing.' Scroll down for video . Natural beauty: Sarah Theeboom (pictured) hasn't washed her hair in six years after a friend told her that giving up shampoo was the secret to gorgeous locks . Although her friend warned her that her scalp and hair would go through a nasty adjustment period, Sarah wasn't prepared for the dandruff and excessive amounts of grease that she first experienced after she first started shunning shampoo during a three-week vacation to Thailand. Sarah recalled that during those first few weeks her hair was the 'greasiest' it had ever been. 'I was so embarrassed that I didn\u2019t want to show my head to anyone,' she explained. Despite the fact that she 'almost cracked' and went back to shampoo, she forged on with her mission. After vacation she started wrapping her hair with headbands every day. When she showered she would wet her hair and scrub her scalp with her fingers. And even though her boyfriend was critical of the idea, Sarah explained that, by this point, she 'felt committed' to her cause. New woman: The writer from New York City said her hair is now silkier and 'totally frizz-free' since she gave up using shampoo . It took six weeks for her hair to feel somewhat normal again and then another six weeks of her hair looking 'so-so' before the 'magic happened'. 'I started to see what my natural hair was like when I wasn\u2019t constantly doing stuff to manipulate it,' Sarah explained. 'It was silky and wavier and totally frizz-free.' The 'no poo' movement has gained popularity over recent years because of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Shailene Woodley, Adele and Jessica Simpson who have revealed that that they avoid washing their hair for days - and sometimes months - on end. Because it is no longer considered a ludicrous concept, Sarah said that she typically doesn't have a problem sharing her hair secret, but she did note that sometimes she will come across someone who just doesn't get it - including one hair stylist who didn't understand why she couldn't shampoo her hair. Sarah explained that her although her current regimen sounds like a 'beauty philosophy', she was really just experimenting to see what worked for her.

It has been a staple of Sunday night listening for almost 50 years \u2013 but now Radio 1's Chart Show has been branded a 'banal failure' by one of the most respected voices in broadcasting. Veteran presenter Paul Gambaccini has blasted the BBC for destroying the Top 40 show by employing 'ignorant' DJs who are more interested in giving vacuous opinions than playing the records. Gambaccini, a respected rock historian, blamed the presenters' obsession with discussing the sex appeal of pop stars for a slump in ratings. The 66-year-old said: 'It is no wonder the Chart Show is a complete failure because it has not accomplished what it was set out to be. It is the news of popular music and, if it is to have any integrity, it should be an objective show. You wouldn't expect Huw Edwards to give his opinion on the news he is reading or to suddenly say 'Isn't Hillary Clinton fit?' The Chart Show has become an extension of its presenter's personality rather than an objective programme.' Gambaccini, a former Radio 1 DJ himself, said he was particularly annoyed about last week's show when host Clara Amfo appeared to dismiss superstar Paul Simon, who had just topped the album charts at the age of 73. The 29-year-old made a passing reference to the star's No 1 album, The Ultimate Collection, before telling listeners to 'ask your dad'. Gambaccini said: 'To me that is an ignorant attitude. You don't disrespect the No 1 album, regardless of who it's by. 'What is the point of saying this is the Top 5 and not playing any of them? That is really stupid. No 1 is No 1. If you don't wish to be authoritative any more you might as well stop. Don't pretend you are important when you are not.' 'Paul Simon has just sold out the O2 with Sting.

Defense attorney John Waldron had filed a petition to have 14-year-old Jamie Silvonek returned to the juvenile facility where she was sent the day after the body of 54-year-old Cheryl Silvonek was discovered last month. Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin said Friday he will oppose the petition and Waldron's request to move the case to juvenile court, The Morning Call reported. Adult jail: Jamie Silvonek, the eighth-grader accused of conspiring with her soldier boyfriend by text message to have her mother killed should remain in an adult jail while awaiting trial, a prosecutor said . The teenager is charged as an adult with homicide and criminal conspiracy. Her boyfriend, 20-year-old Caleb Barnes, who is from El Paso, Texas, but was stationed at Fort Meade, Maryland, is charged with homicide. Cheryl Silvonek's body was found stabbed in a shallow grave about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Jamie Silvonek was sent to the county jail this month after she was charged as an adult and is in the women's housing unit, away from older inmates, county officials said. Authorities said Barnes and the teenager met in October, when she was 13, but she told him she was 17. The teen's mother found out about their relationship in early March and ordered them to end it. A day later, the teen told Barnes in a text message, 'I want her gone,' police said. Waldron, however, has said that because of the age difference he believes the teen must have been under 'some type of duress or coercion.' He said his client 'cried incessantly and told me how much she missed her mom' and she feared for her life and that of her father. Barnes' public defender hasn't returned a phone message seeking comment. Accused of murder: 14-year-old Jamie Silvonek allegedly conspired to kill her mother Cheryl Silvonek with her 20-year-old boyfriend 'because she disapproved of their relationship' Barnes, who was on leave from Fort Meade in Maryland at the time of the slaying, was previously charged with homicide. He confessed to stabbing Cheryl Silvonek in the neck multiple times while they were in Silvonek's car, and Jamie Silvonek admitted she was there when he did it and helped dispose of the body, according to an affidavit of probable cause. The teen's attorney, John Waldron, said Thursday he believes his client was under Barnes' control, given the age disparity. 'There has to be some type of duress or coercion,' he said.

Deliberate act: Valencia (pictured, left, in his mug shot) remained in hospital for two days before being booked into jail. Police have since spoken out in defense of Rapiejko's actions in the town of Marana, Arizona . But officer Rapiejko said that Valencia had left him with no other choice than to use potentially lethal force, according to a recording obtained by NBC station KVOA. 'He's refused commands, he's holding what I believe to be a locked and loaded rifle,' said Rapiejko in the inquiry recording, who had also warned there were two officers on the street and business nearby. 'This is what I deem at this point to be a lethal force encounter.' 'I have two thoughts that go in my mind, I need to shoot him to stop the threat or I need to run him over to stop the threat.'

The network handed Williams a six-month suspension in February after he acknowledged he had lied about being on board a helicopter that came under fire while reporting from Iraq in 2003. But according to a report in Vanity Fair, Williams started exaggerating his stories because he felt insecure about Brokaw, whom he succeeded at Nightly News in 2004.

They learned that their unborn daughter had 69 chromosomes instead of the normal 46, an abnormality that also resulted in Dandy Walker Syndrome. The fetus also had a diaphragmatic hernia and severely stunted growth, weighing 8oz when she should have weighed just over a pound. These major health issues also meant there were risks for the mother. The fetus was so small that it could have died in the womb without the woman knowing, which could have resulted in an infection. The mother was also at a higher risk for preeclampsia, a blood pressure-related pregnancy complication that can be fatal. She also noted that her placenta could have ruptured, leaving her to 'bleed out in my bathtub faster than anyone could help me'.

It predicted that numbers of deaths in Britain, which have been falling for 40 years, will start to go up and increase by 20 per cent over the next two decades. At the same time the price of a funeral is rising fast, thanks to higher costs for cremation, rising undertakers\u2019 bills as funeral firms are faced with bad debts, and the increasing fees demanded by churches. Deaths in Britain, which have been falling for 40 years, will start to go up and increase by 20 per cent over the next two decades, a report by a think tank has found (file photo) The report, prepared by an old age think tank, the International Longevity Centre-UK, and backed by insurance firm OneFamily, suggests that younger people who already feel financially hard pressed in comparison to their parents will still be under money pressure even after their deaths. Younger people are finding it increasingly difficult to afford homes or to start families, and in the long-term their pensions are much less secure than those of their parents, many of whom enjoyed the generous and fast-disappearing defined benefit pension system. The report from ILC-UK to be published next week said that death rates are set to go up following a long period in which medical advances, better diet, healthier lifestyles and the growing unpopularity of smoking, and the decline of dangerous heavy industrial jobs, have meant fewer people have been dying despite a rising population. \u2018After decades of the number of deaths in the UK falling, 2015 will mark a tipping point where the historic trend starts to reverse,\u2019 it said. \u2018As the oldest of the baby boomer generation move through their later years, deaths are predicted to rise by 20 per cent.\u2019 It added: \u2018This will have significant implications for current forecasts of funeral costs and highlights a growing need for families to broach the delicate subject of end of life expenses.\u2019 A 'simple' funeral with a cremation, a minister and an undertaker now costs \u00a33, 590 . Baroness Sally Greengross of ILC-UK said: \u2018More than half of UK households have less than \u00a33,000 in savings and many will struggle to cover funeral costs. \u2018We all need to talk more about dying and ensure we are prepared for the inevitable.

Instead of employing European students on working holidays to act as au pairs industry experts want to attract more workers from Asia where wages are low. Extending au pairs on working holiday visas - who earn $250 a week as live-in nannies - to stay with one family for a year instead of the current six months is another option. The introduction of Asian nannies to Australia would go some way to help address the childcare shortage it's been argued . Compared with childcare rates of $100 a day or more, overseas nannies and au pairs can provide a cheaper and more flexible option for families with more than one child.

The decision to ban Hardy, who last played for the Carolina Panthers, followed a two-month NFL investigation that started after the dismissal of his domestic violence case in February. Hardy was informed in a letter by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that the probe determined there was 'sufficient credible evidence that Hardy engaged in conduct that violated NFL policies in multiple respects.' Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy has been suspended without pay for 10 games . Domestic violence charges against Hardy, who signed with Dallas last month, were abruptly dropped in February after his accuser could not be found to testify. The jury trial for Hardy had been set to begin in Charlotte after he was accused of assaulting his former girlfriend, Nicole Holder, and threatening to kill her. The league's probe, which involved numerous interviews with witnesses and experts, concluded that Hardy violated the NFL's personal conduct policy by using physical force against Holder in at least four instances. 'The net effect of these acts was that Ms. Holder was severely traumatized and sustained a range of injuries, including bruises and scratches on her neck, shoulders, upper chest, back, arms and feet,' Goodell wrote. 'The use of physical force under the circumstances present here, against a woman substantially smaller than you and in the presence of powerful, military-style assault weapons, constitutes a significant act of violence in violation of the Personal Conduct Policy.' Hardy arrives at Mecklenburg County jail on the first day of his domestic violence appeal trail . Hardy, a 2013 Pro Bowler who played only one game for the Panthers before being suspended last season, was accused of assaulting Holder last May, sending her to the hospital emergency room. The five-year NFL veteran was found guilty by a district court judge in July but appealed the verdict and was allowed to have a jury trial. Prosecutors said when Holder last spoke with them in November, she told them that she 'did not want to participate in another trial.' Holder had already reached a civil settlement with Hardy, prosecutors said. Hardy may appeal the NFL's decision within three days. 'You must have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement and must not commit any additional violations of league policies,' Goodell wrote. 'In that respect, you should understand that another violation of this nature may result in your banishment from the NFL.'

Leading politicians from seven parties have come together to attack the decision not to prosecute Lord Janner over child abuse and accused the CPS of orchestrating a 'whitewash'. Putting the election aside, 11 leading figures said that Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders was \u2018damaging public confidence\u2019 in the justice system with her ruling. The CPS has been accused of double standards for not prosecuting Lord Janner after it emerged at least 19 men with dementia have been convicted of child sex offences since 2010, including ten in the past year. MailOnline has revealed that some paedophiles, including several too ill to enter a plea, have still been prosecuted and in some cases jailed for the rest of their lives because of historic sex attacks. But Alison Saunders and the CPS insist Lord Janner cannot face prosecution. Politicians have written to a national newspaper to demand the decision be reversed amid public concerns. The cross-party group, led by Labour\u2019s Simon Danczuk, asked in their letter to The Times: \u2018Have we learnt anything from the mistakes of the past? \u2018As long as justice is not seen to be done and the greater public interest is not served, the public will see attempts to investigate establishment figures involved in historic child abuse as a whitewash.\u2019 Mrs Saunders announced last week that 86-year-old Labour peer Lord Janner, who has dementia, would not face trial over 22 serious offences against nine alleged victims in Leicestershire, from the 1960s to the 1980s. The intervention was co-ordinated by Mr Danczuk, who investigated the Cyril Smith abuse scandal in Rochdale and the subsequent cover-up. Mrs Saunders\u2019 decision has already drawn criticism from Home Secretary Theresa May. Police are considering a legal challenge, and Lord Macdonald of River Glaven, a former director of public prosecutions, has also questioned the decision.

'The matter should be brought before the courts so that the evidence may be tested in accordance with the law. \u2018This case clearly demonstrates why victims of abuse feel let down by the system.\u2019 Leicestershire Police told The Times they were concerned about alleged improper attempts by a member of the Bar to influence key legal decisions in their investigation into Lord Janner and other suspects.

Experts blame increasingly sedentary lifestyles and an obsession with mobile phones for a sharp rise in the number of young people with back and neck problems. And they warn that children as young as 12 are seeking treatment. As gadgets get smaller, users lean over them more, putting the neck and shock-absorbing discs that cushion the vertebrae under added pressure .

Across all age groups, 86 per cent said it was a problem \u2013 compared with 77 per cent last year. Almost one in four said that they are in pain on a daily basis.

Rishi Loatey, a chiropractor in North-West London, sees patients who are still at school, including some as young as 12. He said working on laptops and tablets rather than desktop computers, as well as using mobile phones, can affect posture and put the back under extra strain. As gadgets get smaller, users lean over them more, putting the neck and shock-absorbing discs that cushion the vertebrae under added pressure. The fashion for hot-desking, in which office workers don't have an assigned desk of their own, adds to the problem because the chair is not adjusted to suit them.

And the average Briton spends almost three hours in front of the TV each evening. In all, we typically spend ten hours a day sitting. Chiropractor Tim Hutchful of the BCA said: 'We're seeing a rise in the number of people experiencing back and neck-related problems because our modern lifestyle is forcing us to stay seated and I'm concerned that the number of patients under the age of 30 coming through our doors is increasing.

The automated computer program was designed as an online shopping system that would spend up to $100 each week by randomly purchasing an item offered for sale on the deep web. The robot would then have its purchase mailed to a group of artists who then put the items in an exhibition in the town of St Gallen, in north east Switzerland. The Random Darknet Shopper purchased a number of items for sale on the deep web (pictured) including trainers, jeans, cigarettes, a set of masterkeys and a DVD case (far left) containing 10 ecstasy tablets . The items it bought included a pair of Nike trainers, counterfeit designer jeans, the scan of a Hungarian passport and a set of UK Fire Brigade masterkeys. However, it seems the Random Darknet Shopper crossed the line when it purchased 10 Ecstasy tablets, which arrived in a vacuum packed bag hidden in a DVD case. The dark net is a subsection of the deep web - the part of the internet that does not show up in searches or on social media. Most of the information on the web is far down on dynamically generated sites, unable to be found or seen by traditional search engines, which are rather like dragging a net across the surface of the sea, missing much of the information in the depths. The dark net is used as a way of sharing information and trading goods, but the anonymous and encrypted nature of it has attracted large amounts of illegal activity. The Silk Road website and its successor that were recently shut down was used to sell drugs in exchange for bitcoins, the electronic currency. Other dark net sites allow users to share pornographic photographs, hacked information, credit card numbers and other illegal goods. The Silk Road used an underground computer network known as the The Onion Router (TOR), which is a matrix of encrypted websites and servers that disguise the identity of users. It uses numerous layers of security and encryption, hiding the IP address and the activity of the user. Just 0.26 per cent of the daily internet traffic from the UK accesses this hidden part of the internet. Police seized the drugs, the computer and the rest of the items it had purchased.

That was four weeks ago when Aston Villa ran riot at the Stadium of Light and Sunderland were booed from the field at half-time before thousands of fans streamed for the exits.

Where they differ is on the role of now-45-year-old Gianni Van in the murder of Gonzalo Ramirez, whose blindfolded, bloodied body was found on the side of a road. At the opening of his trial Wednesday, prosecutors said Van was enraged after his ex-girlfriend Norma Patricia Esparza told him Ramirez had raped her and he must be held responsible for the attack. She's expected to testify Thursday. Accused: Gianni Van, 45, (left) is accused of the 1995 murder of f Gonzalo Ramirez (right), whose blindfolded, bloodied body was found on the side of an Irvine, California road having suffered 30 blows with a cleaver . Van's lawyer said his client had no knowledge of the plan to harm Ramirez and was threatened that he would suffer a similar fate if he snitched on a friend and friend's employee who carried out the killing. The case has drawn international attention since Esparza \u2014 who went on to become a psychology professor and moved to France \u2014 was arrested in 2012, provoking an outcry from sexual assault victim advocates who say the case sends a chilling message to rape survivors. During opening statements, Senior Deputy District Attorney Mike Murray showed graphic photos of Ramirez's blindfolded, mangled body lying on the side of the road in a pool of blood. 'Gonzalo Ramirez was targeted, and he was targeted by somebody who was going to make sure he suffered,' Murray said. 'Whether Norma Esparza was sexually assaulted or not, for our purposes today, doesn't matter. What matters is she told the defendant that.' Revenge? Prosecutors say Van killed Ramirez as revenge for raping his on-and-off girlfriend Norma Esparza (pictured). Esparza and Van allegedly entered into a sham marriage before Van's original arrest for the crime. Esparza could not be forced to testify and Van was released. They divorced and Esparza went on to become a psychology professor in France and the mother of a little girl . Arrested: In 2012, Esparza was arrested in connection to the slaying when she re-entered the United States for an academic conference . Prosecutors say Ramirez was taken to the transmission shop of his friend Kody Tran, where he was blindfolded, chained up and beaten. They say he was found having suffered 30 blows from a meat cleaver, reports the Orange County Register. The prosecution alleges Van was aided by Tran and Tran's wife Diane Tran as well as Tran's employee Shannon Gries. His body was found dumped on the side of a road in Irvine. 'It was beyond horrific,' Murray said. 'It was the act of an incredibly angry man...The defendant was out of his mind with anger.' 'He felt that he had been violated,' Murray said of Van.

These screenshots show the home screen (left), appliances recognised (centre) and usage for one day (right) The Neurio sensor is plugged into the house\u2019s breaker panel, or circuit box. It measures both differential voltage and current signals every split second and these signals are used to calculate power and energy consumption. The measurements are sent to the Neurio Cloud where algorithms identify appliances and behaviours based on unique electronic signals. When the algorithms detect that a device has been turned on or off, or a user returning home, they notify the Neurio app and services such as IFTTT which allows devices to be controlled from smartphones. The app, which is available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, gives users real-time feedback about their home. It tells them which appliances are greedily consuming energy, for example. The device plugs into a breaker box, or circuit box in a house where it gradually learns to recognise the electric \u2018signature\u2019 of different gadgets and appliances. Users can train Neurio to recognise a light bulb for example, by flicking a light on and off to tell the accompanying app what to detect. Alternatively, an algorithm allows it to learn for itself based on crowdsourced information, to tell it what a microwave\u2019s signature looks like, for example.

Strauss said on Saturday that he can see no way back for the man he fell out with so badly over the messages Pietersen sent to South African opponents apparently criticising him as captain three years ago. Pietersen begins his county comeback with Surrey against Oxford University in The Parks on Sunday having been encouraged to return to the domestic game by ECB chairman-elect Colin Graves and emboldened by the demise of Downton, the man who sacked him last year.

Yet his hopes of an England return would seem over if Strauss succeeds in becoming the new England director of cricket after throwing his hat into the ring on Friday. \u2018It\u2019s very important for English cricket to move on from the Kevin Pietersen situation,\u2019 said Strauss, who infamously called Pietersen \u2018a complete c***\u2019 on air last season when he thought his microphone had been switched off. \u2018That threatens to envelop everything at the moment. The story has become more of a distraction than him actually playing. It\u2019s become that big. The ECB and the England team\u2019s efforts to move on from him haven\u2019t worked so far but by winning that will allow them to move forward.\u2019 Strauss\u2019s views are as much from a cricketing point of view as a personal one, even though his feelings towards Pietersen clearly have not changed. \u2018If you look at it from pure cricketing logic, after the Ashes is over, it\u2019s quite hard to see a situation where Kevin Pietersen would come back into the side,\u2019 Strauss told Wisden editor and Sportsmail cricket writer Lawrence Booth on the Lord\u2019s podcast. \u2018You\u2019re building towards the next Ashes in two and a half years time and the World Cup in 2019. Pietersen has rejoined Surrey for the county season in an attempt to regain his England place . Pietersen's chances of a recall have been boosted by the likely appointment of Michael Vaughan in the new ECB director of cricket role created following the sacking of Paul Downton as managing director . \u2018I think if you were to bring Kevin Pietersen back it would be a short-term measure to help you win the Ashes but I can\u2019t see that happening personally because there are too many bridges to build in too short a period of time. I think after the Ashes the story does move forward at that point.\u2019 Michael Vaughan remains favourite to pip Strauss for a role that would have powers not enjoyed by anyone in English cricket since Ray Illingworth in the Nineties. Graves and new ECB chief executive Tom Harrison want to overhaul the system and make the new man more the equivalent of a football manager than a managing director, as was Downton.

Eddie Raymond Tipton, 51, of Norwalk, Iowa, was originally charged with two felony counts of fraud when he was arrested in January for illegally playing the lottery and having a friend collect his prize, but now prosecutors say he used an intricate system to make sure he would win. They argue he installed a self-destructing hack program to make sure the Random Number Generator selected his number in December 2010, and that he tampered with security cameras in the building so he would not be caught installing the program. Scroll down for video . Eddie Raymond Tipton (above) of Norwalk, Iowa was charged with two felony counts of fraud for illegally playing the lottery . Now prosecutors believe the Iowa lottery worker used an intricate hack to ensure his numbers were drawn by the system . 'There is sufficient evidence for a jury to reasonably conclude from the evidence that Defendant tampered with lottery equipment,' prosecutors wrote in their filing according to Lottery Post. His trial had been due to start Monday but defense lawyers asked for it to be delayed to they could examine the new evidence. Authorities had been trying to identify the winner of the $14.3 million Hot Lotto ticket since a New York lawyer tried to claim the prize shortly before the one-year deadline in 2011. When attorney Crawford Shaw tried to claim the jackpot with the winning ticket in his hands, lottery officials confirmed the ticket was valid, but they refused to pay because Shaw wouldn't name anyone involved with the purchase and handling of the ticket. He later withdrew the claim and said he didn't know the winner's identity. Then, authorities released a convenience store video in October which purported to show the mystery winner, in an attempt to help identify him, at which point a former co-worker of Tipton's subsequently contacted authorities and tipped them off. Detectives then analyzed the ticket purchaser's voice in the video and matched a license plate in the parking lot of the convenience store to Tipton. Authorities say Tipton contacted two men in Texas asking for help to claim the jackpot anonymously. It was only after he was arrested that police began to look into whether or not he had tampered with any equipment, at which point they claim it became clear he had used his computer skills to make certain he won. Tipton reportedly told a coworker he had created a root kit shortly before he won the lottery, a self-destructing program that can do anything and then disappear without a trace. As for why he is never seen on the security camera installing this kit, prosecutors claim the cameras were programmed to change the way they record that day, and that Tipton was one of five people that could do this. Furthermore, the four other individuals will testify they did not manipulate the security cameras. Tipton's lawyer has said all these claims are impossible, and that his client did not hack", "summary": "Eddie Raymond Tipton of Norwalk, Iowa was charged with two felony counts of fraud for illegally playing the lottery .

Tsarnaev, who killed three people and injured 260 others in the April, 2013 bombings, is due back in court today where his defence team will begin to make its case. Last week prosecutors described the 21-year-old as 'America's worst nightmare' insisting he deserves to die for carrying out one of the bloodiest attacks on US soil since 9/11. Fewer than one in five Massachusetts residents believe Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, seen here gesturing at his jail cell camera while awaiting trial, should be handed a death penalty . However a poll for the Boston Globe newspaper found less than 20 per cent of Massachusetts residents questioned believed he should be put to death with 63 per cent in favour of a life sentence. And in the city of Boston itself the figure falls to just 15 per cent of residents in favour of the death penalty and 66 per cent arguing he should be caged for life. Frank Perullo, president of Sage Systems LLC, which conducted the poll on behalf of the Boston Globe said: 'It seems that voters have concluded that Tsarnaev does not deserve a quick death, but rather should spend the remainder of his days in a windowless cell contemplating the heinous acts that put him there. 'To voters, it would seem death is too easy an escape.' If he does escape the death penalty, Tsarnaev is likely to spend the rest of his days in one of America's Supermax prisons where inmates are kept mainly in solitary confinement and have minimal contact with staff or fellow prisoners. Last week protesters demonstrated against the death penalty outside the courthouse holding up banners, one of which read: 'Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?' Jurors were selected in part for their openness to imposing the death penalty, controversial in a state that has executed no one since 1947 and where Catholic bishops oppose capital punishment. Evidence photos from the Boston Bombing trial revealed the aftermath of the blasts. Three people were killed and 260 others injured in the attacks on April 15, 2013 . An earlier poll carried out by CNN found that just over half of Americans (53 per cent), said Tsarnaev should get the death penalty. Forty-five per cent said he should spend the rest of his life behind bars. If just one juror accepts there were mitigating circumstances to Tsarnaev's actions, then he will be sentenced to life in prison. Tsarnaev has already been convicted of 30 federal charges in the twin bombings near the marathon's finish line on April 15, 2013.

An army recruitment sergeant who is accused of carrying out a campaign of abuse against female cadets allegedly locked a female recruit in an office and raped her. Edwin 'Jock' Mee, who worked at the military base in Croydon, south London, allegedly invited the young woman in for an appointment to discuss her application to join the Army and locked the doors of the room they were in . The woman, now 27, told Southwark Crown Court that Mee raped her as he called her a 'sweet woman'. She claims she became pregnant before suffering a life threatening ectopic pregnancy. Mee is accused of carrying out sex attacks on 11 victims as young as 15 while working at an Army careers centre between October 2010 and September 2011.

The two, GOP-controlled states were in a frenzy to quell national outrage over legislation meant to satisfy evangelicals who do not believe they should be compelled by the government to provide goods and services to certain customers if doing so would violate their religious convictions.

Lahm's tackle on a team-mate at Bayern Munich's training ground on the outskirts of the city appeared innocuous enough, until a scream of pain pierced the morning air and a frantic wave signalled he was in trouble. As players milled round him, and a physio inspected the damage, the call went out for expert medical help. There wasn't any. To the dismay of Pep Guardiola, there wasn't a single qualified doctor on site. Bayern Munich doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt quit this week after a reported rift with Pep Guardiola . The pair fell out over an injury to Philipp Lahm during training as early as November last year . As Lahm lay on the turf with what was later diagnosed as a broken ankle, the physio tended to him as best he could, while an ambulance was summoned to take him to a local hospital. Muller-Wohlfahrt, meanwhile, was at his city centre clinic, nearly eight miles away. It was last November, and from that day on, the 72-year-old's days as head of Bayern's medical department were numbered. They finally ended after Bayern's Champions' League defeat at Porto, when Guardiola went public with his displeasure over recovery rates for injured players by blaming a lengthening injury list for his side's quarter-final first-leg demise. It was more than the world-renowned specialist could stomach, and he promptly walked away from the Bundesliga champions for a second time, taking the rest of his staff with him. He quit in high dudgeon once before, after a fall-out with Jurgen Klinsmann, but there will be no coming back this time. Not as long as Guardiola holds the reins. And that may just be for quite a while yet.

Kevin Morgan, 55, of Weybridge in Surrey, was injured when a Land Rover Discovery reversed into his stationary Rover 75 while he was working in Dorset in September 2005. The married engineer suffered whiplash, which developed into chronic pain syndrome and a resulting deep depression, which together have ended his working life, his lawyers claim. But as his \u00a3600,000 damages claim began at the Central London County Court, he was accused of a staggering fraud by motor insurers, Direct Line Group. Kevin Morgan (pictured right) was filmed meeting up in a coffee shop with his friend Max Clifford (pictured left). Morgan claims that a car accident in 2005 has left him in too much pain to leave his home regularly . William Featherby QC, for Direct Line, said Mr Morgan had been put under surveillance and shown to be far from the disabled wreck he claims to be. He could be seen out walking, joking with a builder, striking up conversation with a stranger, crouching to fix the light on his car and as part of a gathering of friends \u2013 including disgraced PR guru Clifford \u2013 in a coffee shop. 'We submit that the surveillance evidence shows no sign of disability or distress whatever; rather, it just shows a normal man of Mr Morgan's age,' said the barrister. 'The court can properly find that he has been and is exaggerating deliberately to an unconscionable degree.' The court heard Mr Morgan claims he is in so much pain, particularly in his neck, that he only rarely leaves his house. But the QC said he had been watched by private investigators on 12 random days over three years up to 2013 and seen leaving his house on 10 of those days. 'On the 10 days, you were out and about, walking briskly and behaving perfectly normally,' he told Mr Morgan. 'When we see you on those 10 occasions, your neck doesn't go into spasm. It's lies.' Mr Morgan is pictured outside Central London County Court where the fraud case hearing continues . Questioned on the difference in his demeanour on the day in the coffee shop and in court, Mr Morgan said one had been a 'good' day and the other 'bad'. 'I'm not a dishonest person and I feel like it's almost like I'm on a murder charge,' he told Judge David Mitchell. 'I feel like I need to clear my name.' His barrister Simon Browne QC said the surveillance footage shown in court actually backed Mr Morgan's case. 'It reinforces Mr Morgan's post-accident limitations, as his daily life has been reduced to a 1,350 foot radius around his home,' he said.

+{"article": "At the meeting in Paris between Pep Guardiola and Roman Abramovich in the summer of 2012, the former Barcelona coach made it clear that he craved stability. Abramovich\u2019s track record with managers had not been good, dispensing with Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Carlo Ancelotti and Andre Villas-Boas when he raged against results. Sensibly, Guardiola approached with caution.

Chelsea\u2019s inner circle believed they had finally landed their man and Abramovich began recruiting players in anticipation of his arrival. Eden Hazard arrived from Lille for \u00a332m and Oscar from Internacional for \u00a325m. Marko Marin, a \u00a37m capture from Werder Bremen, was another gamble. Then Abramovich blew the deal by firing his European Cup-winning coach the morning after a catastrophic 3-0 defeat in Turin against Antonio Conte\u2019s Juventus. It turned out to be a painful lesson. Guardiola was spooked, pulling out of the deal to become Chelsea\u2019s next manager the following day and decided instead to succeed Jupp Heynckes at Bayern Munich. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich believed he had landed Guardiola in the summer of 2012 - but the then-Barcelona coach was spooked by the Russian's habit of hiring and firing managers .

In fact, Donatella interviewed Riccardo for Interview Magazine in 2011, telling him she found his most recent collection at the time to be 'very beautiful - super sexy' before adding that she would 'wear all of it'. That didn't surprise Riccardo, as the designer explained that he was 'obsessed' with Versace as a child and is still inspired by the brand's designs. 'Donatella, you are so much of a Givenchy woman!' he told her. 'I would really love to see you dressed in Givenchy.'

Jason Lee, 38, a former managing director at Goldman Sachs, was arrested in August 2013 after the woman accused him of attacking her in a bathroom at the home he had rented with his wife in the summer resort town of East Hampton. Lee has pleaded not guilty and is free on $100,000 bail. He has opted for a non-jury trial before Suffolk County Court Judge Barbara Kahn. Charged: Former Goldman Sachs managing director Jason Lee, 38, faces charges of allegedly raping a 20-year-old Irish woman in the Hamptons in August 2013 . Lee's attorney, Manhattan lawyer Andrew Lankler, did not respond to email and telephone messages seeking comment. A lawyer who represented Lee at his arraignment in 2013 said his client was innocent and that the sex was consensual. Prosecutors said Lee was celebrating his birthday at Georgica restaurant and lounge in Wainscott when he invited the woman and her friends back to his rental home for a pool party.

One in three women said they even shy away from talking to people because they are so self-conscious about the state of their skin. And experts say that growing stress levels are a key factor. Stress makes the adrenal glands release male hormones, which then trigger more oil production, blocking pores.

Clinique has a blemish range but this does not include a full regime of anti-ageing products, while brands such as Murad, which has focused on anti-ageing, are pricier with \u00a349 for a moisturiser.

Their morale is low despite the fact they benefited from a pay deal ten years ago that resulted in their salaries rising by 50 per cent, while allowing them to opt out of working during evenings and weekends. There is now a national recruitment crisis and many surgeries are short-staffed, with increasing numbers of GPs retiring or moving abroad. And they are not being replaced by younger trainees, who view the career as \u2018second class\u2019 compared to more prestigious roles as hospital doctors or surgeons.

The new species of torrent frog, reported by New Scientist, is called Hylodes japi. The amphibian, part of the Hylodes lateristrigatus group, is characterised by light stripes on its size, while it is also relatively small, according to the researchers. And when it comes to mating, this family of frogs has a unique trait not seen in other frogs. They typically like to live near fast streams and, if a pair decides to mate, they will spend five minutes searching for a private spot. \u2018The male quickly carves out a chamber by excavating the sand around small rocks at the bottom of the stream,\u2019 said Agata Blaszczak-Boxe from New Scientist. \u2018Then, like Christian Grey from Fifty Shades he invites his mate into his sex dungeon, which is only just big enough to fit the two amorous amphibians.\u2019 The amphibian, part of the Hylodes lateristrigatus group, is characterised by light stripes on its size, while it is also relatively small, according to the researchers.

The reason for this is not only to protect the eggs from predators, but also from tadpoles of the species - as they are known to be cannibalistic.

This difference may seem slight but it suggests the next model of iPhone could be substantial improvement on iPhone 6 range (pictured), and rumours have hinted towards new features . The claims were made by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo during a note to investors on Tuesday, reports MacRumors. He said the next-generation iPhone will feature Force Touch, recently added to the Apple Watch and new MacBook. Apple describes Force Touch as the 'most significant new sensing capability' since Multi\u2011Touch. It recognises typical scrolling and pinching gestures, but it additionally tracks the pressure of a person's click and responds accordingly.

And in addition to 300 new emojis, including the much-anticipated 'racially diverse' people icons, Apple also rolled out Wi-Fi Calling on more networks. People on Sprint in the US and EE in the UK can now use their iPhones to make calls using the web. Wi-Fi Calling routes calls through a Wi-Fi network instead of using mobile signal, which can be notoriously temperamental. Calls made over Wi-Fi don't use minutes or data and can be used to make free calls when roaming. Apple added the option in iOS 8 in September, although it was only used by T-Mobile at that time. EE launched the UK's first Wi-Fi Calling service earlier this week on the Lumia 640 and Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Although services such as Skype and Viber offer calls over Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Calling doesn't require an app and uses the handset's built-in dialler and contact list. This means gestures and tracking feel more intuitive and are more responsive. And on the Watch this feature is used to access more options in menus, for example. If Force Touch is added to the next iPhone, Mr Kuo said the change will be significant enough to warrant Apple adding the 7 moniker to any new handsets. This follows recent rumours which suggested a 4-inch version of the iPhone 6 is in development to replace the iPhone 5C with a lower cost and 'female friendly' design.

Investigative journalists at the network have been poring over Williams's past reports and statements after he was booted from the top job in TV news, hunting down signs of dishonesty. Williams was publicly suspended with no pay for six months after it emerged that he repeatedly told a self-aggrandizing, false story about being aboard a military helicopter hit by an RPG over Iraq. The anchor has up to a $50million contract and POLITICO claims that he is being pressured to resign. The site reported that he could receive up to $30million in an exit agreement with NBC. 'You\u2019re dead. Now negotiate,' one media executive told the website. Williams signed a deal with the network last year to continue at the network thought to be worth $10million a year, and he is thought to be looking at a minimum of $20million if he leaves.

The Bavarians, runaway leaders in the Bundesliga and through to the Champions League last eight where they face Porto later this month, are eager to repeat their 2013 treble-winning campaign as the season enters its final stretch. A 1-0 league victory at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday despite a string of absences was crucial to boost their confidence ahead of the Cup game, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said. Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer celebrates after the 1-0 win against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday .

'The 1-0 victory was a very good sign for us,' Neuer, who made a spectacular save in stoppage time to protect their slim lead, said. 'We have to try to carry this momentum to our game at Leverkusen.' Bayern were without wingers Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben as well as David Alaba, who tore a knee ligament and will be out for about two months. They were also missing defender Holger Badstuber, forcing coach Pep Guardiola to overhaul his team and play a new-look midfield with captain Philipp Lahm, Xabi Alonso and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Guardiola, in his second season in charge after winning the domestic double last year, will have the chance to slightly alter his system again with midfielder Thiago Alcantara making a comeback on Saturday after more than a year out injured. The addition of the skilled Spain international is undoubtedly a major asset ahead of Leverkusen, who crushed Hamburg SV 4-0 in their league game on Saturday.

Scroll down for video . Luke Lazarus was sentenced on March 27 for raping an 18-year-old at his father's SOHO nightclub on May 12, 2013 . In the victim's impact statement, which was read out at court on her behalf, the woman said she will never be the same following the brutal attack. 'I thought that once I left the alleyway the pain would go away ... but it didn't,' the statement said. 'Everything that made me who I was stayed in that alleyway.' Lazarus said he thought the sex was consensual and that fact that it wasn't made him: 'absolutely sick to my stomach'.

+{"article": "ALFRED HITCHCOCK . by Peter Ackroyd . (Chatto & Windus \u00a312.99 . With this nutritious, compact and superb critical biography, Ackroyd emphasises the importance of Victorian and Edwardian London in the imagination of Alfred Hitchcock \u2014 the \u2018damp-looking dirty blackness\u2019 of the East End; the \u2018manifold ruffianism\u2019 of the Cockneys; the pubs, street markets, theatres and music halls, with their \u2018variety acts, dioramas and Italian operettas\u2019. Alfred Hitchcock (pictured) was born in 1899 in Leytonstone, East London . In addition to the gaudiness, the city was a place with dark staircases, gaslight, rain and spooky cobbled alleys: the ideal setting for murder. Hitchcock was born in 1899 in Leytonstone, East London, the son of a wholesale grocer. They were a Catholic family, Irish originally, and the boy who would become \u2018one of the most distinguished directors in the world\u2019 was educated by the Jesuits. The bullying Christian Brothers may have taught \u2018the virtues of order, control and precision\u2019, but they also instilled (with the strap) a belief in mystery and miracles. The logic and reason, coupled with a mood of anxiety, dread and paranoid suspicion, seeped into Hitchcock\u2019s work: \u2018He thought everyone was doing something physical and nasty behind every closed door\u2019. Looking back on his schooldays, he said that, as the Jesuits had frightened him, \u2018now I\u2019m getting my own back by terrifying other people\u2019. Hitchcock was never any oil painting. A 5 ft 7 in Humpty Dumpty, he was the neurotic fat boy with piggy eyes, who was filled with \u2018lavish and peculiar\u2019 repressed sexual fantasies. His entire oeuvre, Ackroyd suggests, was a study of voyeurism, violence and guilt with, on the one hand, the rape and murder of vulnerable women, and, on the other, the pursuit of a hero accused of crimes he did not commit. His very first work, in 1927, The Lodger, was about a man wrongly accused of being Jack The Ripper and, already, Hitchcock could whip up an atmosphere of \u2018doubt and suspense\u2019, the camera dwelling on \u2018dark puddles shimmering with opalescent light\u2019. His opening in movies began at the studios in Islington and Twickenham, where Hitchcock created the captions for silent movies and designed the title cards. Here, he met Alma Reville, whom he married in 1926. Alma was an editor who \u2018emphasised the importance of smooth continuity and the subtle use of close-up\u2019. She was thin and boyish, wearing trouser-suits tailored at Austin Reed, \u2018the gentlemen\u2019s outfitters\u2019. The Hitchcocks lived at 153 Cromwell Road and had one daughter, Patricia. Apart from conceiving Patricia, Ackroyd assures us, Hitchcock and Alma never had sex together again. Ackroyd goes into raptures about The Lodger, which starred Ivor Novello. \u2018The use of light was its music, rising in intensity, in the process creating a unique rhythm of meaning\u2019. Would Hitchcock have seen it this way? The shower scene from Hitchcock's Psycho (Janet Leigh pictured playing Marion Crane in the film) is one of the most recognisable shots in cinematic history .

Elon Musk tweeted this image of the booster coming back down to Earth. Musk had put 50-50 odds on the attempt being successful and said that improvements to the design would happen throughout the year . The booster was programmed, following separation 2.5 minutes after liftoff, to flip around and fly to the platform dubbed 'Just Read the Instructions' in the Atlantic ocean . While the booster landing didn't go to plane, the launch was successful. It took place at 4.10 ET from Florida under perfect conditions, after a attempt had to be scrubbed on Monday due to lightning . The 208ft (63 metre) tall Falcon 9 rocket, carrying a Dragon capsule, thundered off its seaside launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 4:10 p.m. The Falcon 9 is on now its way to deliver 4,300lb (1,950 kg) of food, clothing and science experiments to the ISS - including an eagerly awaited espresso machine for astronauts. The supplies should arrive the six space station astronauts on Friday. The rocket was was due to take off yesterday, but the launch was scrubbed due to bad weather. On board the Dragon capsule is an experimental espresso machine intended for International Space Station astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy. The Italians in charge of the project hope to revolutionise coffee-drinking in space. SpaceX, meanwhile, hoped to transform the rocket business by landing the first-stage booster on a platform floating a few hundred miles off Florida's northeastern coast, near Jacksonville. The Dragon - the only supply ship capable of returning items intact - will remain at the ISS until around May 21 . At liftoff time, the orbiting lab was soaring over Australia.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side recorded a crucial win over their city rivals in the race for the Premier League back in 2011,and Rooney's spectacular overhead kick cemented his place in United folklore when it flew into the top corner past the helpless Joe Hart. The England striker couldn't quite believe that had happened at full-time: 'It was a massive game for both teams and to score in that way was something I will never forget, the feeling was unbelievable. 'I knew Nani was going to cross it so I was getting ready for an header, then it took a little deflection and come behind me, I never really had time to think and just tried the overhead and thankfully it went in the top corner.' The England captain scored a spectacular overhead kick to win the derby and keep their title hopes alive . 2) Manchester United 4-3 Manchester City, September 2009, Michael Owen 96 minute winner . In a ding-dong game at Old Trafford, Craig Bellamy scored a late equaliser for the visitors, as the home fans fell silent but with virtually the last kick of the game, Ryan Giggs found Michael Owen, who slotted home past the on-rushing Shay Given. Rooney says it's a game he'll never forget: 'It was end to end for a lot of the game and when Craig Bellamy equalised in the 90th minute everyone thought that was it, so when Michael Owen scored in the last few seconds it was an unbelievable moment for both Michael and the team and it's certainly a moment I will never forget.'

The heartbroken brother of Pakistan's latest 'honour killing victim' - allegedly burned alive because she left the house without permission - said he will set himself alight if he does not get justice. Shabana Bibi, 25, from the Muzaffargarh district of the country, died in hospital on Saturday after suffering burns to 80 per cent of her body. Police have arrested her husband Muhammad Siddique and father-in-law Pir Bakhsh. Bibi's brother, Muhammad Azam said Siddique became enraged on learning his wife had visited her sister without first asking him if she could go out. His father then beat Bibi before dousing her with petrol on April 17, Azam alleged. Bibi had been married to Siddique for three years, during which time she had suffered repeated domestic abuse because the couple couldn't have children, her brother claimed. Azam says police have not provided him with a copy of the crime report despite repeated requests. 'I would set myself on fire in front of the office of the district police chief if I did not get justice,' he said. District police chief Rai Zameer-ul-Haq said: 'We have arrested the husband and father-in-law of the deceased woman and charged them for murder and terrorism.'

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 \u2013 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 \u2013 just over 90 pictures or videos \u2013 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.

With polls suggesting no one party will have a majority after May 7 and support for the SNP hitting a record high, the Conservatives have ramped up warnings about a post-election deal between Labour and the Scottish nationalists. Scotland's First Minister, appearing on Newsnight tonight, said the Labour leader had allowed himself to be 'kicked around' by the Tories and called on him to be 'tougher' and 'bolder' She told Evan Davis that Ed Miliband had been 'bullied' by the Conservatives into ruling out a coalition deal . Labour leader Mr Miliband insisted at the weekend that he is 'not interested in deals' with the SNP. In the latest of BBC1's series of leader interviews with Evan Davis, Ms Sturgeon said Westminster politicians were in danger of being 'insulting' to Scottish voters.

The HCPC Conduct and Competence Committee today removed him from the register after hearing his crimes and describing them as 'a serious breach of trust'. Christopher Bridger, 25, who was jailed for 12 years after he sexually assaulted three women, has been struck off the medical register . A jury at Guildford Crown Court, Surrey, found him guilty of raping a fellow student while he was studying to be a paramedic at St George's University Hospital in London in 2008. He had accompanied her back to her halls following a Freshers' Week fancy dress party and began kissing and cuddling her, despite being told to stop. He then raped her but astonishingly broke down in tears afterwards and said: 'I just want to like girls.' The woman told the jury she ended up comforting Bridger, despite knowing he was in the wrong. His other victims were co-workers at South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust, where he started working in 2010.

His colleague explained how Bridger came up to her hotel room after she got extremely intoxicated at the party in December 2011. He climbed into bed between his victim and her partner and the woman awoke to find him sexually assaulting her and pleasuring himself as her girlfriend lay asleep next to them.

Here, in the final week of our major Good Health series on dementia, we turn our attention to the carers and what can be done to make life easier for them and their loved ones... Scroll down for video . Looking after someone with dementia can stretch people to their limits. Here's how to make life easier . WHAT TO EXPECT . The early stages of the disease bring changes that may be so subtle that some friends and acquaintances are unaware that there is anything wrong - and this stage can continue for many years. But as the disease progresses and more damage is done to the brain, symptoms become more pronounced: difficulties with communication become more intense and issues such as getting dressed or managing day-to-day affairs become more problematic. This marks the beginning of the middle stage, the longest stage, which can last for several years. It's when the condition becomes more challenging and extra help may be needed. However, there will be good days as well as bad. The following can help . . . ESTABLISH ROUTINES . In the early stages of dementia, it's the short-term memory that's most affected, making it harder for patients to keep track of the day, or even what time of day it is. I've found that sticking to a routine helps keep someone with dementia better orientated, and gets their body clock into a rhythm. In the early stages, aim to establish fixed times of day for the following - it may help to write this on a board that's kept next to a calendar (cross it off to show what day it is) and a clock, so that they know what to expect when. In the middle stages of dementia, routines may still be useful but patients can be more prone to mood changes, so be flexible. Encourage but don't coerce. Often people with dementia may display more symptoms and anxiety as the light starts to fade . WHEN BEHAVIOUR CHANGES . The middle stage of dementia inevitably heralds changes in behaviour. This can be one of the toughest things to cope with, for at times it may seem as if the person you know and love has gone. The following are common: . Clinginess . This can be very draining as some people with dementia do not like to let their carer out of their sight. Clinginess is the return of a psychological reflex from our toddler years - a toddler will cry when their mother moves away or when a stranger approaches. As the dementia progresses, the loss of nerve cells in the brain allows old reflexes that were replaced in adulthood by more complex brain pathways to resurface. What to do: The best way to deal with it is by diluting contact - try introducing other regular carers as soon as the person being cared", "summary": "This is the final week of our major Good Health series on dementia . We turn our attention to carers and what can be done to make life easier . In England there are more than 670,000 unpaid carers helping someone . We explain what to if they become anxious as the light starts to fade . Bed and getting-up times. When to take medication. Meal times. Shopping days. Leisure time such as TV, radio or social times. Before you start talking always engage eye contact to help get the person with dementia to focus on you. There can be a tendency for them to look away and this makes it harder for them to concentrate on the conversation. Be careful about asking questions they may be unable to process. For example, if they're upset don't ask what's wrong as they may not know, or are unable to put it into words. Instead, tell them: 'You seem to be upset; let's think how we can make you feel better.' Finishing sentences for them can increase frustration. It's better to ask if they'd like you to find words for them if they're having difficulty. Watch their body language as this can give you clues about how they are feeling. For example, repetitive movements can mean they are anxious or scared, while withdrawing may mean they feel overwhelmed. If they're doing something obviously wrong, for example putting dishes in the washing machine or clothes in a food cupboard, don't ask them why or castigate them - the reasoning side of their brain has been affected and pointing out their mistakes will only cause them embarrassment and frustration."}

In a television interview the fugitive squirmed as he admitted only \u2018evaluating\u2019 the files stolen from GCHQ and the US National Security Agency. The former US spy also acknowledged there had been a \u2018f***-up\u2019 when newspapers that were handed the classified material failed to redact sensitive details exposing operations against Al Qaeda.

But in an outburst of arrogance, Snowden said such potentially catastrophic blunders were a \u2018fundamental\u2019 price of liberty. The 31-year-old stunned the world in June 2013 \u2013 less than a month after the murder of Lee Rigby by Islamic extremists \u2013 when he broke cover as the civilian CIA worker who stole classified documents. He leaked information about attempts by spying agencies including GCHQ and the NSA to view citizens\u2019 private information, claiming internet history, emails, text messages, calls and passwords were harvested. But security chiefs have warned that secret techniques, revealed by Snowden\u2019s leaks to the Guardian newspaper, have made it easier for terrorists and organised criminals to avoid detection. Last month, Home Secretary Theresa May attacked the harm done by the traitor \u2013 now one of the world\u2019s most wanted men. Terror experts said lives were being lost because he had hampered security service operations. They warned that extremists had altered their tactics after he leaked details from intelligence agencies \u2013 with fatal results. In Sunday night\u2019s interview with British TV host John Oliver, for US channel HBO, Snowden pointedly avoided saying he had read every document he handed over to journalists. At one point the British comedian asks Snowden whether he had read all of the documents he sent to journalists. The whistleblower said he had an 'understanding' of their content . He would only say: \u2018I\u2019ve evaluated all of the documents that are in the archive.\u2019 Pressed, he added: \u2018I do understand what I turned over.\u2019 But he acknowledged \u2018recognising the concern\u2019 over whether he knew enough about the contents of the files or the abilities of reporters to protect classified details. Snowden admitted there had been a \u2018f***-up\u2019 with the way in which some of the information about the NSA and GCHQ, Britain\u2019s intelligence agency, had been released. Last year, the New York Times published a slide containing the name of the NSA employee who prepared it. The target of the surveillance was also identified as Al Qaeda in Mosul, Iraq. Snowden said such details should have been removed and, in a feeble attempt to defend his actions, added: \u2018In journalism we have to accept that some mistakes will be made. This is a fundamental concept of liberty.\u2019 Unconvinced, Mr Oliver replied: \u2018You\u2019re giving documents with information that you know could be harmful which could get out there \u2026 We\u2019re not even talking about bad", "summary": "British comedian travelled to Moscow to interview the whistleblower .

+{"article": "A Saturday Night Live skit about a male student having sex with his female high school teacher painted the relationship as every teen boy's dream, but drew a firestorm of criticism on social media. The reaction to the comedy sketch reflected a growing view among law enforcement and victims' advocacy groups that it is no laughing matter when a woman educator preys on her male students. In U.S. schools last year, almost 800 school employees were prosecuted for sexual assault, nearly a third of them women. New Jersey high school English teacher Nicole Dufault, left, stands accused of sexual relationships with six teenage boys, while Kathryn Ronk, right, a Spanish teacher at Bishop Foley High School in Michigan got up to 15 years in prison for having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy . The proportion of women facing charges seems to be higher than in years past, when female teachers often got a pass, said Terry Abbott, a former chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Education, who tracked the cases. This year's numbers are already slightly ahead of last year with 26 cases of female school employees accused of inappropriate relationships with male students in January compared to 19 cases the previous January. Female educators who sexually abuse their students are facing tougher prosecution in part because there are more women police officers. There is also a greater awareness among prosecutors, judges and the general public that students who are victimized by an authority figure, regardless of gender, experience trauma with life-long consequences. 'Law enforcement is increasingly feminized, and women are much less prone to the old attitude: \"Oh, this is just some kid who got lucky,'\" said David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center. 'They recognize the issues involved and they go after women who violate the statutes.' A recent Saturday Night Live skit about a male student having sex with his female high school teacher painted the relationship as every teen boy's dream, but drew a firestorm of criticism on social media . The Twitter furor ignited by the April SNL skit in which a male judge fist-bumps a boy who had sex with his 'hot' teacher indicates how attitudes are changing . Depression, low-self esteem and difficulty maintaining future relationships are among the long-term consequences that male victims face, according to experts. Those problems are sometimes compounded by confusion and guilt over whether they are actually victims since their adolescent bodies involuntarily respond to physical contact. Child abuse experts agree it appears female teachers are being prosecuted more vigorously than in the past. The crackdown is the result of 'two seismic shifts,' said Christopher Anderson, executive director of Male Survivor, the largest U.S. advocacy organization for male sex-crime victims. Pennsylvanian math teacher Erica Ann Ginnetti, 35, was sentenced to 30 days in jail for having sex with a 17-year-old student. The male judge said, 'What young man would not jump on that candy?'

The Sacramento Bee reports that the incident on private property near Auburn is listed as an accident and nobody has been cited or arrested. The accident took place in the driveway of the Cronkhite family's home in the 5100 block of Wise Road in rural Placer County as the children's fathers, William Secrest and Brandon Cronkhite, were doing yard work together. According to CHP, Blake and Jayden hopped on a small ATV, which had been brought to the house by a friend, and rode to a nearby pond, where the 5-year-old driver lost control and plunged into the water. Both boys were wearing helmets at the time. At one point, the parents noticed the absence of the boys and when looking for them. Then, a relative spotted a helmet bobbing in the water, prompting Brandon Cronkhite to race to the pond to try and save the children.

The $40 (\u00a326) cloth cover - which comes with a lifetime guarantee - is said to hydrate the face and prevent lines while you sleep. And unlike a normal cotton pillowcase, which apparently sucks moisture from the skin, the Wrinkle Preventing Pillowcase's special blend of 'hydrophobic fibres' keeps the complexion hydrated all night. The Wrinkle Preventing Pillowcase has 'a blend of hydrophobic fibres that help skin retain moisture' The infused special fibres are said to fight wrinkles like a face cream, redirecting moisture back into the skin . The pillowcase, made by Hammacher Schlemmer, in Canada, was developed by a dermatologist and contains no creams or chemicals. According to its description online, a traditional cotton case has a 'rough surface' that 'siphons moisture' away, leaving the face dry and dull. But the wrinkle preventing version is 'therapeutic and extra-smooth', redirecting moisture back into the skin for a more vibrant, healthier-looking appearance in the morning.

The cause of his fatal spine injury has not been revealed. But a troubling detail emerged as hundreds of protesters converged on City Hall again Thursday: He was not only handcuffed and put in leg irons, but left without a seat belt during his trip to the station, a police union's lawyer said. Unbelted detainees have been paralyzed and even killed by rough rides in what used to be called 'paddy wagons.' It even has a name: 'nickel rides,' referring to cheap amusement park thrills. 'Deadly nickel ride': Gray, 25, was arrested on April 12 in Baltimore and died a week later from a severe spinal injury that may have been caused when he was shackled and driven to the police station in a paddy wagon without being strapped into a seatbelt . 'Nickel rides' have caused spinal injuries in the past and Baltimore police epartment rules were updated nine days before Gray's arrest stating that all detainees shall be strapped in by seat belts or other device . Police brutality against prisoners being transported was addressed just six months ago in a plan released by Baltimore officials to reduce this misconduct. Department rules updated nine days before Gray's arrest clearly state that all detainees shall be strapped in by seat belts or 'other authorized restraining devices' for their own safety after arrest. Gray was not belted in, said attorney Michael Davey, who represents at least one of the officers under investigation. But he took issue with the rules. Gray died on Sunday, April 19, after he 'had his spine 80 per cent severed at his neck' while in police custody . 'Policy is policy, practice is something else,' particularly if a prisoner is combative, Davey told The Associated Press. 'It is not always possible or safe for officers to enter the rear of those transport vans that are very small, and this one was very small.' Assistant Police Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said Gray was secured by 'leg irons' after he became agitated during the trip, but the department hasn't said whether he was buckled in with a seat belt. The Gray family's lawyer, Billy Murphy, said 'his spine was 80 percent severed' while in custody. It's not clear whether he was injured by officers in the street or while being carried alone in the van's compartment. But if it happened on the way to the station, it wouldn't be the first such injury in Baltimore: Dondi Johnson died of a fractured spine in 2005 after he was arrested for urinating in public and transported without a seat belt, with his hands cuffed behind his back.

It is believed that the 'wings' led to the pectoral fins seen in modern fish. Cait McCullagh, curator at the museum said: 'If you think of the picture that most people have in their heads of the Loch Ness Monster, our fossils pretty much meet what they would expect. 'Pterichthyoides milleri lived at the bottom of freshwater lochs and had flippers to help it move around.

Hannah Moore, 20, from Broxburn in West Lothian, didn't get that far though; her images of the stretchmarks on her tummy were vetoed by the world's biggest photo-sharing website within minutes of her posting them. The mum-of-twins claims her account was deleted because the images were deemed to contain inappropriate 'nudity and violence' which breach the site's decency guidelines. Scroll down for video . Confidence shattered: Hannah Moore, who had shots of her stretchmarked stomach removed 'within two minutes' of posting them on photo-sharing site Instagram, said the rebuttal had taken her confidence away . Body pride: Hannah Moore, 20, of Broxburn in West Lothian, shared photos of her post-childbirth body. She gave birth to twin girls Lily and Grace (pictured above with fiance David Johnstone, 22) in June last year . Hannah suffered from stretch marks after giving birth to twin girls Lily and Grace with fiance David Johnstone, 22, in June last year. Moore said: 'Nobody could get on my Instagram and nobody could search for it so someone had obviously reported the picture for nudity - all it was was a picture of my belly and it has just took my confidence away.' It's yet another example of Instagram coming under fire for refusing to publish certain images, particularly photos that are dedicated to showing the female form in its most honest state. Shots of menstrual blood, stretchmarks following childbirth, pubic hair and naked breasts have all felt the wrath of the site's censors. Critics have also highlighted that plenty of images that many might find offensive such as users bragging about extreme wealth while poking fun at the poor or pro-guns graffiti often get the green light for publication. Just last week, Instagram, which boasts 300 million monthly users, announced that it has toughened up its rules on the types of pictures users can post in a bid to cut down on pornography and harassment. Samm Newman received an apology from Instagram for removing these images of her in her underwear. The 19-year-old had posted the shot to celebrate her curves...but later found they had been removed . Megan Tonje saw a picture of her bottom - covered by sizeable black pants - banned for contravening Instagram's rules, even though she posted it in a spirit of body confidence with the hashtags #honormycurves and #effyourbeautystandards . The overhaul of Instagram's community guidelines is the biggest since Facebook bought the app three years ago for $1 billion. Although it has banned 'close-ups of fully nude buttocks', it remains perfectly fine to post a shot of a woman's rear if she is wearing underwear. A spokesman for the site said: 'We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don\u2019t allow nudity on Instagram.

Ardglass is one of Northern Ireland's main fishing ports and local trawlermen are usually more concerned about hitting their quotas than Cold War-style intrigue. Violently dragged: Captain Paul Murphy of the Karen, a fishing trawler, holds up a snapped steel cable aboard his boat. The damage is thought to have been caused by a Russian submarine .

But she added she is right not to follow in Diana\u2019s footsteps. \u2018I think she dresses quite uneventfully,\u2019 the author of The Handmaid\u2019s Tale said. \u2018I think she\u2019s watching her back, I think she probably has people who pretty much tell her what is appropriate for her to wear.

Author Margaret Atwood (pictured) said she thinks the duchess is cautious when it comes to clothes and is told what to wear by advisers . Double Booker Prize winner and Wolf Hall author Hilary Mantel has described Kate as a \u2018shop window mannequin\u2019 and a \u2018machine-made\u2019 princess who has been \u2018designed by committee\u2019. Meanwhile Sandi Toksvig has said the duchess doesn\u2019t have a \u2018single opinion\u2019 of her own, and Joan Smith caused outrage by labelling Kate \u2018unambitious and bland\u2019. Speaking at a talk at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Miss Atwood, who has also won the Booker for The Blind Assassin, admitted she judges women on the clothing they wear. The novelist, who has been described as a feminist writer, said: \u2018Let\u2019s pretend you\u2019re meeting a person for the first time, as you do when you meet a character in a book. \u2018What do I see? Your dress, I see your face of course, I focus on that. I see your earrings, I see your necklace, and those are all part of you. They are all part of the total image of who I\u2019ve just met.\u2019 Miss Atwood\u2019s latest book Stone Mattress prompted her to be labelled \u2018offensive\u2019 and a \u2018man hater\u2019 by critics last year. Last month a \u00a335 black polka dot dress from online retailer ASOS sold out within half an hour of Kate wearing it to an event. And in 2013 the \u00a346 Seraphine dress she wore for her first official family portrait with William and Prince George sold out two hours after the photo was published.

+{"article": "Health bosses are considering raising the legal age for buying alcohol to 21 to tackle binge drinking. The proposal has been put forward by experts at NHS Health Scotland, the Scottish Government\u2019s health promotions agency, which says more action is needed to tackle the \u2018continuing problem\u2019 of \u2018hazardous alcohol consumption in young people\u2019. The move would apply in pubs, clubs, supermarkets and off-licences in Scotland. New measure: Health bosses are considering raising the legal age for buying alcohol to 21 to tackle binge drinking . If introduced it would mean the legal minimum age for buying alcohol would be higher in Scotland than it is in the rest of Britain, where it is 18. Last night Professor Sir Ian Gilmore, chairman of Alcohol Health Alliance UK, said he would welcome the minimum age being set at 21. He said: \u2018If it was 21 now, I would not be calling for it to be lowered.\u2019 But he added: \u2018Given the fact that we are where we are, I think that politically it is quite difficult, when the age is 18 for so many other adult rites in our society.\u2019 The proposal to raise the legal age is outlined in a report titled \u2018Best Preventative Investments for Scotland \u2013 What the Evidence and Experts Say\u2019, which examines mea-sures to improve public health. It says the idea to \u2018increase the minimum legal drinking age to 21 would be highly cost-effective, as it would both improve people\u2019s health without having to spend much money, and reduce demand on the NHS\u2019. Report author Neil Craig said: \u2018In Scotland, hazardous alcohol consumption in young people is a continuing problem. \u2018For both males and females, the largest increase in hospitalisation rates for alcohol-related conditions since the early 1980s has been in the 15-24 year olds, and this was particularly marked for females.\u2019 In fact, doctors across the whole of Britain are worried about the increase in such hospitalisations. Between 2002 and 2010, the number of admissions to English hospitals among 15 to 24 year olds due to alcohol rose by 66 per cent to 55,655 \u2013 or more than 150 a day. The proposal has been put forward by experts at NHS Health Scotland, the Scottish Government\u2019s health promotions agency . The increase among women (76 per cent) was higher than in men (57 per cent). While the Government in Westminster has been reluctant to legislate to tackle the alcohol problem, the Scottish Government has had far fewer reservations. It has already agreed a 50p minimum unit price for alcohol, although the controversial move will not be implemented if the Scottish Whisky Association succeeds in an ongoing court battle to block it. The Scottish Government has also banned \u2018BOGOF\u2019 (buy-one-get-one-free) deals and other offers encouraging bulk-buying of alcohol, and reduced the drink driving limit. A Scottish Government spokesman said: \u2018We remain open to the consideration of any evidence-based proposals that can contribute to reducing alcohol-related harm.\u2019 A Department of Health spokesman in London said: \u2018There are no plans to increase the legal age for buying alcohol.\u2019", "summary": "The proposal has been put forward by experts at NHS Health Scotland .

Rebecca Calder, 24, who was jailed for a year today, went out drinking on the same night she used her victims' bank card to withdraw large amounts of money. At her peak she was draining up to \u00a3300 a day from her disabled victims' accounts, spending it on nights out and items such as shoes. Sentenced: Rebecca Calder, 24, who was jailed for a year today, went out drinking on the same night she used her victims' bank cards to withdraw large amounts of cash, pictured left and right . Calder posted regular partying pictures of Facebook not knowing the family of the victims, a couple in their late 80s who have now died, had installed a spy camera and filmed her taking cash. Officers discovered Calder had stolen more than \u00a35,000 from the savings of the elderly couple who suffered from mental and physical disabilities. Today Calder, of Greater Manchester, was jailed for 12 months after she pleaded guilty to nine counts of theft. Liverpool Crown Court was told she had previously been employed by a company called Makerfield Care - who are no longer in business - as a carer although she was not part of the team who looked after the couple at their home in Warrington. Caught: The victims' family saw money coming from their accounts so set up a camera and filmed her taking money . Police said the victims both suffered from a number of physical and mental impairments due to their ages, with very poor memories and were largely confined to their home. Calder lost her job with the care firm but carried on visiting the house regularly on an unofficial basis having befriended the couple. The thefts came to light when the couple's two daughters became concerned when she noticed on her parent's bank statements that large amounts of cash, in \u00a3100, \u00a3200 and \u00a3300 amounts, were being withdrawn from cashpoints almost every other day. One of those withdrawals was made from an ATM in Ashton-in-Makerfield at about 2am on April 13 2014, which could clearly not have been either of the victims. The couple's daughters also found huge amounts had been withdrawn from their father's savings account. The daughters installed a covert CCTV camera at the house and caught Calder red-handed as she stole cash from the elderly man's wallet. The daughters continued their investigation and managed to identify Calder through her Facebook profile, which also showed her wearing the same clothes as when she stole the money. The police were then called. After her sentencing today PC Ryan Mackenzie said: 'Calder's actions were utterly reprehensible. Whatever motivated her, there can be no excuse or justification for stealing more than \u00a35,000 from an elderly and frail couple whom she was supposed to care for and look after.

The 35-year-old, father-of-two from Griffith says the non-taxpayer subsidised treatment for his Hodgkin's disease - Brentuximab Vedotin - has improved his condition dramatically. It's for this reason that his 'My Name Is Chris' campaign and website was created to help raise the money needed for his treatment as it can't be distributed on the current Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).

His family argue that it also reinforces why it is essential to get Hodgkin's Lymphoma treatment, Brentuximab Vedotin, on the PBS. 'My Name is Chris' was launched in mid-January following confirmation of Chris's relapse in December, and it has made a huge difference,' Chris's wife Naomi told Daily Mail Australia.

'Mentally it has also had a huge impact on Chris, he literally thought he was going to die in December, by the end of January he was feeling well, and inspired to fight harder than ever before.' Some of the fundraising that has taken place and donations given to the campaign have hugely raised his spirits too, with people's generosity taking him aback. 'Individually we had a $5,000 anonymous donation,' Chris told Daily Mail Australia. 'Over Easter we held the Festival of Chris which raised $15,000 as well as an event 'Celebrazione' at De Bortoli Wines Bulbil where we operated the BBQ and gate, collecting $3425.40.

But experts have warned the disease is not the only health danger associated with the pursuit of an artificial year-round tan. Those compelled by a desire for bronzed skin are also at risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection - herpes. Dermatologist Dawn Marie Davies, from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, warns sunbed users could be putting themselves at risk of contracting the sexually transmitted infection, herpes . Genital herpes is highly contagious and spreads from one person to another via skin-to-skin contact. It is commonly passed on through sex and oral sex. Once a person is infected with the virus it can reactivate every so often to cause a new episode of painful genital herpes. There is no complete cure for the infection - rather, a sufferer will be given treatment each time they suffer a flare up. Dermatologist Dawn Marie Davies, an associate professor of dermatology at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, warns the virus, and other bacteria, can survive on tanning beds, despite the heat. 'In my practice, I've seen acquired bacterial infections, warts, and herpes infections from tanning beds,' she told Yahoo. She said staphylococcus bacteria, which can cause skin infections, faecal bacteria, the herpes virus and the wart-causing human papillomavirus are all able to withstand the heat of a sunbed to survive. Bacteria that lies on a person's skin can easily be transferred to the bed, when a person is lying down. The heat - not high enough to kill the infection - allows the bacteria to develop to become stronger and more able to survive. When a person sweats, it provides a breeding ground for bacteria or viruses. It is then possible for the infection to transfer to another sunbed user, entering the body via a small cut or nick in the skin, often so small a person may be unaware. 'Ultraviolet light can theoretically kill germs, but it's not enough to kill germs on the tanning bed,' Professor Davies warned. 'What's interesting is that when you use the ultraviolet light over and over again - and the tanning bed lights are on for multiple hours a day - if the bacteria or virus is exposed to some antiseptic but not enough to kill it, or some light but not enough to kill it, it can grow stronger and then it becomes resistant.' Genital herpes is highly contagious and spreads from one person to another via skin-to-skin contact. It is commonly passed on through sex and oral sex. Once a person is infected with the virus it can reactivate every so often to cause a new episode of painful genital herpes. A recurrence of the virus is often triggered by being unwell, stress, drinking excess alcohol, exposure to ultraviolet light, for example, using sunbeds, and having a weakened immune system.

'People are checking their emails all the time, you do not have the same sort of quiet empty time that there used to be.'

But I am here because Kathryn is a national expert in the art of the strange foodstuff, and one very disconcerting product in particular. The 41-year-old mother-of-two is part of a rapidly growing cottage industry that prepares fresh placenta for new mothers. Along with some 60 other specialists in this country, she whizzes it into smoothies, or grinds it into pills for women convinced of its health benefits. Mothers have reported powerful healing properties, saying that eating their own placenta (the blood-filled organ that supports the foetus in the womb) has helped to increase their milk supply, reduce post-natal bleeding, stabilise blood pressure, and, crucially, provide them with more energy to care for their babies. Celebrities who have eaten their own placentas include Hollywood actresses January Jones and Alicia Silverstone and Atomic Kitten singer Natasha Hamilton. Kathryn has had no reported cases of food poisoning among her clients. Nor, for that matter, has any other practitioner in the 70-strong Independent Placenta Encapsulation Network (IPEN), of which Kathryn is a member.

This is no small feat. Fiercely individual, the islands have never before combined to stage a big event. But here they have common cause. Liberation Day itself will turn St Peter Port and Jersey's capital St Helier into swirls of people and music. It is not difficult to find traces of Guernsey's harrowing half-decade.

The United States Geological Survey said the quake struck 81 kilometres (50 miles) northwest of Kathmandu at 06.11 GMT, with walls crumbling and families racing outside of their homes . On Sunday evening the death toll had crept up to 2,500 people across four countries, with hundreds still missing. Speaking of the Nepalese capital where the scientific meeting was held, one expert said it the devastation was 'an accident waiting to happen'. 'Physically and geologically what happened is exactly what we thought would happen,' said seismologist James Jackson, head of the earth sciences department at the Cambridge University. 'I was walking through that very area where that earthquake was and I thought at the very time that the area was heading for trouble,' said Mr Jackson, lead scientist for Earthquakes Without Frontiers, a group that tries to help Asian cities prepare for disasters.

Earthquakes of similar magnitude can have bigger effects on different parts of the globe because of the manner of building construction and population density.

Coupled with that is its lack of preparation for such destructive tremors. A relatively poor country, its buildings are shoddily constructed and easily torn down. Experts also fear the earthquake's shallowness could have sparked landslides across the mountainous region.

Fade to gray: Once famed for his mop of blacker than black hair, disgraced Democrat Rod Blagojevich, 58, has really let his haircare regime go while he serves his prison time . Back in his days as governor of Illinois, Blagojevich was famed for his boot polish black hair . He was impeached and removed from office by the state Legislature in early 2009 following his arrest on federal corruption charges. Blagojevich is currently serving a 14-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Englewood near Denver. The photos, the first of Blagojevich in prison, were first published by the National Enquirer. The photos show the former governor sitting at a desk, reading a book and wearing glasses and sitting outside in shorts and a wife beater shirt. While he continues to awaiting word on a last-ditch appeal, Blagojevich has daily contact with his family and teaches the history of war battles to other inmates, his attorney said. Last July lawyers attempted to argue that a high court ruling in McCutcheon v. the Federal Election Commission in April 2014 bolstered their view that Blagojevich was engaged in legal, run-of-the-mill political horse trading, not corruption. The McCutcheon ruling, they argued, found that soliciting contributions crosses the line into corruption only when a politician makes a clear, explicit promise to take official action in return for a donation. Blagojevich is currently serving a 14-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Englewood near Denver after he was caught trying to sell Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat when he was elected president . In that context, defense attorneys said the trial judge was wrong to set a lower standard for jurors by telling them, to convict, they only needed to find that Blagojevich sought donations 'knowing or believing' it would be given for some official act. But government attorneys responded saying that Blagojevich's legal team hadn't correctly characterized the Supreme Court's findings in McCutcheon. 'The decision provides no support for Blagojevich's argument on appeal,' the two-page filing said. 'Nothing in the (McCutcheon) decision suggests that an exchange of contributions for specific official acts is quid pro quo corruption only if the arrangement is stated 'explicitly' or 'expressly.''

+{"article": "It may be a British staple but the traditional fish and chips is in peril. As waters around the UK get warmer, popular species of fish including haddock, plaice and lemon sole could become less common as they migrate to more preferable water temperatures. And this could see the prices of these fish soar, or see them being taken off the menu completely. Researchers have developed a model that combined long-term fisheries data with climate model projections from the Met Office. From this they predicted the abundance and distribution of popular fish, such as haddock and plaice, could fall as the North Sea warms and this could increase the price of fish and chips . In the past 40 years, reports suggest the North Sea has warmed four times faster than the global average. And with further warming predicted over the coming century, fisheries and scientists are studying the impact on so-called commercial species. This includes research by Dr Steve Simpson, senior lecturer in marine biology and global change at the University of Exeter and Dr Martin Genner, senior lecturer in fish ecology and evolution at the University of Bristol. The researchers developed a model that combined long-term fisheries data with climate model projections from the Met Office. From this they were able to predict the abundance and distribution of the UK's fish over the next 50 years. As the North Sea warms, species won't be able to migrate north to avoid warming temperatures because habitat of a suitable depth is rare. As a result UK fisheries will need to replace current species with those that prefer warmer water such as red mullet (left) and John dory (right), for example . Their research found that as the North Sea warms, species won't be able to migrate north to avoid warming temperatures because habitat of a suitable depth is rare. And due to higher temperatures, numbers of many of the species are predicted to fall. Marine biologists have found that shellfish take on a sour flavour if they are reared in slightly acidified sea water. They warn that as the planet's oceans grow more acidic, due to rising carbon dioxide levels, many of our favourite seafoods could become less appetising. Climate change experts predict that over the next century, the acidity levels of the world's oceans could drop from pH8 to pH7.5. Many have warned this could lead to shrimps and prawns struggling to build the shells and skeletons they need to survive. 'We will see a real changing of the guard in the next few decades,' said Dr Simpson. 'Our models predict cold water species will be squeezed out, with warmer water fish likely to take their place. 'For sustainable UK fisheries, we need to move on from haddock and chips and look to southern Europe for our gastronomic inspiration.' These fish include John dory and red mullet, for example. According to the study, fish distributions are limited by water temperature and some species can only thrive in certain habitats and depths.

Representative Jesse Young wants to use two or three carriers to link Bremerton and Port Orchard across the Sinclair Inlet. A proposal put forth by Young which would use money from the state's highway budget to fund a feasibility study about the bridge passed in the Washington House on Thursday. The idea is intriguing because the US Navy is storing three retired carriers just a few hundred yards from the proposed site of the bridge. This 2012 shot of the Puget Sound shipyard shows two potential bridge parts, the USS Independence and the USS Kitty Hawk.

A new lineage of dinosaur that grazed on plants, despite being closely related to notorious carnivore Tyrannosaurus rex, has been discovered in Chile. Palaeontologists are referring to Chilesaurus diegosuarezi as a 'platypus' dinosaur because of its bizarre combination of characteristics, including its small skull and feet. These features are more like those seen on long-neck dinosaurs. The animal is proving to be an evolutionary jigsaw puzzle because it belongs to the theropod group of dinosaurs - which includes the famous meat eaters Velociraptor, Carnotaurus and Tyrannosaurus, from which birds today evolved - but was a vegetarian. The presence of herbivorous theropods was up until now only known in close relatives of birds, but Chilesaurus shows that a meat-free diet was acquired much earlier than first thought. The dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Period, around 145 million years ago, is named after the country where it was discovered, as well as honouring Diego Su\u00e1rez, who discovered the bones. The seven-year-old came across the fossils at the Toqui Formation in southern Chile when he and his sister, Macarena were looking for decorative stones. They were playing at the site because their geologist parents, Manuel Suarez and Rita de la Cruz were studying rocks with the aim to better understand the formation of the Andes mountain range. Experts initially thought Diego had unearthed several species, due to Chilesaurus' unusual combination of features. However, more than a dozen specimens have now been excavated, including four skeletons, which demonstrate that the dinosaur combined a variety of unique anatomical traits. The dinosaur has been likened to a platypus, which is one of the most unusual creatures in the animal kingdom, because it's one of very few mammal to lay eggs, has venomous spurs and a paddle-shaped tail like a beaver, as well as webbed feet and a bill like a duck, among other idiosyncrasies. Most of the specimens discovered are the size of a turkey, but some isolated bones reveal the maximum size of Chilesaurus was around 10 feet (three metres) long, according to Chilean and Argentinian palaeontologists from institutions including the University of Birmingham who have studied the skeletons.

The Planetary Society says Nasa can afford a crewed mission to orbit the Martian moon Phobos in 2033, leading up to a crewed landing on the Red Planet in 2039 . The Phobos orbital mission would last approximately 30 months, with nine months of travel each way and 12 months in orbit, the panelists said. Crewmembers would be able to study Phobos and Deimos, Mars' other moon, and potentially teleoperate rovers on the Martian surface. The panel said the current plan would use an Orion spacecraft to move crewmembers from Earth into orbit and back down. 'We believe we now have an example of a long-term, cost-constrained, executable humans-to-Mars program,' Scott Hubbard, a professor in the Stanford University Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a member of The Planetary Society's board of directors, said. 'This workshop was an important step in community-building among the many groups interested in Mars science and exploration.' The Society's CEO (and former TV 'Science Guy') Bill Nye, said: 'Getting humans to Mars is far more complex than getting to Earth's Moon,' said Nye. 'But space exploration brings out the best in us.

Phobos is the larger and inner of the two natural satellites of Mars, the other being Deimos. Both moons were discovered in 1877.

On the show hapless character Rachel decided to treat her loved ones to what she mistakenly thought was 'a traditional English trifle' layered with all the trimmings - including ladyfingers, jam, custard, beef saut\u00e9ed with peas and onions, a little more custard, bananas and some whipped cream. Now one brave Mancunian has whipped up their own version of the unusual concoction - replacing the beef with the far more traditional lamb. Scroll down for video . Neil Killham made the infamous shepherds pie-trifle combination immortalised on Friends 16 years ago. It features sponge, jam, custard, lamb, peas, onions, whipped cream and is garnished with sprinkles . Neil Killham, a 32-year-old software engineer from Manchester, announced his plans on Twitter with a picture of his clashing ingredients with the caption: 'It's finally time. I'm making The Trifle Out Of Friends.' Giving a running commentary on the social media site, Neil proudly showed off the finished masterpiece which actually looked very respectable - until he cut into it. He told his followers that while it does not taste like feet - as characters on the show claimed - it was still 'f****** horrible'. He added: 'But with enough nice trifle stuff that we keeping eating more of it.' The trifle-shepherds pie combination did not look quite as appetising once it had been sliced into . Friends character Rachel Green (played by Jennifer Aniston) accidentally made the disgusting dessert . Neil posted this picture of a friend attempting a second go at the trifle pie - it doesn't appear to have improved . 'I thought I'd be able to compartmentalise the clashing flavours, but I cannot.' When MailOnline asked how it tasted, Neil, who shared the dish with friends, said: 'It tasted terrible of course - but not so bad that I couldn't finish my slice. 'It's the way you sometimes think you've got lucky and got a nice pure trifle bite and then pow! Lamb!' He said in the last year he has made curry flavoured cupcakes, a chilli cheesecake and a pancake pizza, among other things. 'Usually they kind of work, so I figured it was time to try something that definitely wouldn't,' he said. 'Although when I tried sprouts in marmite that didn't work either, but it wasn't as bad as this. 'A couple of people tried it with me last night and agreed it was terrible. Opinions were mixed on whether the lamb or the onion was the biggest problem. 'Then a couple of people at work also tried it and came to similar conclusions. 'Except for one guy who said \"it wasn't that bad really. Not good, but not the worst\". 'I'm not sure I can trust him any more.' The trifle looked distinctly unappetising when dished up on a plate - and apparently tasted even worse .

A bigamist caught out when his wife discovered on Facebook that he had secretly married his mistress may have been searching the internet for wife number three, it emerged yesterday. A web profile apparently matching that of \u2018shameless liar\u2019 Andrew O\u2019Clee, 36, has been spotted on a dating site, where he claimed to be \u2018looking for a relationship\u2019. O\u2019Clee led a double life, duping his first wife, Michelle, 39, into believing he needed to spend periods away from the family home in a \u2018safe house\u2019 because he was involved in a serious fraud trial. In reality, the former soldier was living a double life, romancing finance manager Philippa Campbell, 30, who he eventually married in a lavish wedding. His first wife uncovered his deception when she came across a Facebook video of the pair completing the ice bucket challenge \u2013 where people are filmed being drenched in cold water for charity. The post led her to photos of his second wedding, which she then reported to police. Michelle, who has been friends with singer Myleene Klass since the pair appeared in a production of Miss Saigon together in 1999, is currently seeking a divorce from O\u2019Clee. She refused to comment yesterday, but friends said she felt \u2018well and truly betrayed\u2019 by her husband. And yesterday it emerged that the cheat may even have been looking for more women to romance after a dating profile for an \u2018andrewoclee\u2019 was uncovered on the Plenty of Fish website. Although it is unclear when the profile \u2013 which no longer includes a picture \u2013 was created, it matches his age and lists the user as living in London, where O\u2019Clee and Michelle rented a flat.

O\u2019Clee, of Chiddingfold, Surrey, was jailed for eight months after admitting bigamy on Tuesday. A judge, sitting at Chichester Crown Court, told business services provider O\u2019Clee that he had created an \u2018absurd lie\u2019 which had been \u2018a selfish act\u2019.

By then he was already dating Miss Campbell, who he married in August 2013 at St John the Baptist church in Kirdford, West Sussex, near their detached \u00a3575,000 home.

The two four-year pilot culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire should be completed by trapping the badgers in cages and then shooting them, says the BVA . The BVA said it still supported badger culling to tackle tuberculosis in cattle. Animal welfare campaigners welcomed the news but said the BVA\u2019s ongoing support for cage-trapping and shooting was \u2018regrettable\u2019. It comes after the Environment Secretary promised to roll out more culls across the country if the Tories win the election. Addressing the National Farmers Union conference in February, Liz Truss said 'any future Conservative government' would push ahead with 'a wider roll-out of the culls', which have been fiercely criticised by wildlife groups. Her comments came as NFU president Meurig Raymond said the incidence of TB had decreased on farms in two pilot areas in Somerset and Gloucestershire where culling of badgers has taken place over the last two years. The Environment Secretary promised to roll out more culls across the country if the Tories win the election . He urged politicians not to make the controversial cull 'a party political issue' in the run-up to the general election, and criticised Labour for pledging to give up on culling. Ms Truss pledged that any future Conservative government would 'take the difficult decisions to deal with this disease'. She told the conference: 'It is shameful that under the previous government bovine TB increased nine-fold and we ended up with the highest levels of the disease in Europe. 'It is incredible that they would like to make the same mistake again.' She said the Government's strategy included cattle movement controls, vaccination in 'edge' areas around disease hotspots, and culling where the disease is rife. 'We will not let up, whatever complaints we get from protest groups. We're in it for the long haul. We will not walk away,' she said to the conference, to applause from farmers. In Gloucestershire just 274 badgers were culled in the second year of the pilot, falling far short of the minimum 615 estimated to be needed to deliver reductions in TB in livestock, leading the chief vet to admit the benefits of the cull might not be realised there. The Government claimed the low numbers in Gloucestershire reflected the 'challenges of extensive unlawful protest and intimidation' by anti-cull campaigners. In Somerset, where the other pilot cull has been carried out, a sufficient number of badgers were killed this year to lead to expected reductions in TB in cattle, with 341 culled, in a required range of 316 to 785.", "summary": "British Veterinary Association has withdrawn its support of pilot culls .

One of the men described the experience as 'a bit nerve racking' while another man can be heard saying: 'I don't think this is such a brilliant f*****g idea you know'. Another shark is spotted breaching near the small boat before the crew decide it is too unsafe to have a boat of that size in the water, while such large predators are in the area. One man can be heard warnning that while sharks are 'not malicious', they do 'kill things for a living'. The documentary Lair of the Megashark was screened on the Discovery Channel last year during Shark Week. Images of the footage have been posted online by groups who want to ban shark diving as they think it's causing sharks to associate humans and boats with food.

But within the US, opinions on global warming vary wildly between states, local communities, and congressional districts. People in California, for instance, are far more worried about the warming planet than those in parts of the central US. Click on the interactive map below to find out which regions think global warming is happening . Now a new interactive map has revealed public opinion in all 50 states, 435 congressional districts and more than 3,000 counties. To create the map, researchers at Yale University asked people if they believed global warming is happening and whether they were worried. They were also asked questions such as whether they would support research into renewable energies and what they think about carbon limits. Nationally, 52 per cent of Americans are worried about global warming. But, as the results show, this national number glosses over the geographic diversity. Concern about global warming ranges from an estimated low of 38 per cent in Pickett County, Tennessee, to a high of 74 per cent in Washington, D.C. The results also identify significant variation within states, and one surprising result is Texas. Here, public concern about climate change ranges from a low of 39 per cent in King County to a high of 61 per cent in Travis County.

There's been no break from the globe's record heat - the first three months of 2015 have all set new high temperature marks. Last month's average temperature soared to 56.4\u00b0F (13.6\u00b0C), which is 1.5\u00b0F (0.85\u00b0C) above the average for the 20th century. Scientists warn that fossil fuel burning is pushing more greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, leading to increased temperatures, melting of polar ice and glaciers, and rising seas. The data, released last week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) takes into account global averages across land and sea surfaces. It follows earlier announcements from US government scientists that 2014 was the hottest year in modern history. 'Although a majority of people in every state think global warming is happening, this analysis makes it possible to see how much opinions differ within each state,' said Peter Howe of Utah State University, the lead author of the paper. 'These differences are partly due to the fact that different groups often think differently about the issue.

+{"article": "A warming climate may have enabled the earliest humans to venture into Western Europe 1.4 million years ago, a new study suggests. Researchers believe that the spread of our distant human ancestors, the hominins, had been halted by colder and drier temperatures. But as conditions warmed, they were able to branch out from Africa into Spain, and ultimately spread across Europe. Spanish researchers say climate change impacted human migration. Until 1.4 million years ago it was too cold to inhabit southeast Spain. But then the climate warmed to 13\u00b0C (55\u00b0F) and became more humid. This enabled hominins (stock image shown) - our distant ancestors - to move to new regions . The research was led by Dr Jordi Agusti from the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA). Published in the Journal of Human Evolution, the paper suggests climate change affected the amount of resources available. There have been various theories put forward over the years about the diet of our early ancestors, but a study from Oxford University published last year claimed to have finally settled the debate. An ancient human ancestor known as \u2018Nutcracker Man\u2019 lived mainly on a diet of tiger nuts, worms and grasshoppers, according to research. Scientists believe this diet explains why the ancient hominin relative, called Paranthropus boisei, which lived in East Africa between 2.4 and 1.4 million years ago, had such distinctively powerful jaws and large, flat molar teeth. The theory is based on analysis of the Barranco Le\u00f3n site in the Guadix-Baza Basin in southeast Spain. Here, simple Oldowan tools have previously been found, linked to the earliest known hominins 1.4 million years ago, reported Popular Archaeology. But they were not able to migrate to this region until conditions improved. The researchers said that the early Pleistocene era (the era lasted from 2.59 million to 11,700 years ago) was characterised by colder and drier weather. This \u2018possibly impeded the settlement of this region by the early hominin population from the southern Caucasus,\u2019 the researchers wrote. But shortly afterwards, \u2018when the climatic conditions were again favourable, a hominin presence is suddenly evidenced.\u2019 The theory is based on analysis of the Barranco Le\u00f3n site in the Guadix-Baza Basin in southeast Spain, shown by the grey marker on this map. Here, simple Oldowan tools have previously been found, linked to the earliest known hominins 1.4 million years ago . The Acheulean tool technology period - between 700,000 an 300,000 years ago - followed the more primitive Oldowan period. Tools at the time included large stone hand axes (stock image shown) made from flint and quartzite, used to scavenge from carcasses . It should be noted that the warming climate referred to here is on a vastly longer time scale than modern climate change. At the time 1.4 million years ago, though, temperatures warmed above 13\u00b0C (55\u00b0F) and humidity increased, allowing hominins to inhabit the region - scavenging carcasses in the region with the help of tools. \u2018The data reported here clearly support the idea that the early hominin occupation of Europe was strongly constrained by climatic", "summary": "Spanish researchers say climate change impacted human migration .

Shona Banda, 37, who published a book about how she uses a liquid form of cannabis as therapy for Crohn's disease, has a custody hearing Monday in Garden City, Kansas. Her boy was taken by authorities on March 24 after officials at his school reported comments he made about marijuana to child protection services. Medical marijuana activist Shona Banda, 37, is fighting for custody of her 11-year-old son after his comments about marijuana at a school presentation prompted police to search her home . The Department of Children and Families in the small Midwestern town then contacted police who went to Banda's home, according to the Garden City Telegram. She did not give authorities consent to search her home, but they returned several hours later with a warrant and discovered marijuana in plant, oil, joint, gel and capsule form along with paraphernalia for the drug. Two ounces of cannabis in plant form and one ounce of oil were reportedly seized. Video supposedly of the incident posted on Youtube shows officers arriving at Banda's house without a warrant, standing in her backyard and refusing to let the woman enter her house for fear that she could disturb evidence. 'It is not public property, you don\u2019t have a warrant,' Banda is heard telling the police of her backyard, but a sergeant responds that it 'doesn\u2019t matter'. The boy was given temporarily to his father, who is separated from Banda, but returned to state custody on Thursday ahead of the hearing. No charges have yet been filed against the mother. Banda wrote a book that detailed how she used cannabis oil to treat her debilitating Crohn's disease . Police asked to enter the activist's house (pictured), but she denied them entry until they arrived with a warrant .

Crohn's, where the body's immune system attacks the gastrointestinal system, causes pain, diarrhea, menstrual problems, lack of appetite and fatigue. Banda said that the marijuana worked much better than any medicines that had been prescribed for her and she was soon able to walk without a cane, she said in a YouTube video.

Jack Wilshere is the latest man linked with a switch to the Etihad Stadium, where he would follow the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Bacary Sagna and Samir Nasri who swapped London for the North-West as City stormed towards Premier League and FA Cup glory. But times have changed. The Gunners are now ahead of City in the table and appear to be a club on the up, while the men from Manchester must rebuild. And if \u00a330million or more is truly on the table for Wilshere, Arsenal must consider it. Manchester CIty are considering making a move for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere this summer . Wilshere hasn't played for the first team since injuring his ankle against Manchester United in November . Alexis Sanchez cost Arsenal \u00a330m, while Chelsea splashed out roughly the same amount to bring in Diego Costa. Those two forwards have a combined total of 33 league goals this season. And for all Wilshere's many talents, he would not be a game changer for Manuel Pellegrini, or whoever City's manager may be next season. He was touted as a future Arsenal and England midfielder when he burst onto the scene, showing the world what he can do in a Champions League tie against Barcelona, and possesses a technical ability which wouldn't see him out of place at the Nou Camp. His quick movement, superb touch and low centre of gravity is perfect for the sharp, driving style of play manager Wenger likes at the Emirates Stadium, as Wilshere's goal of the season against Norwich last season perfectly demonstrated. He has been doubted on several occasions, partly because of his lifestyle off the pitch, in the most part because of his treacherous injury record at the age of 23. The midfielder has picked up a total of 24 knocks during his seven-year professional career. He was tipped as a future Arsenal star and England international when he broke through the ranks in 2008 . Wilshere is only 23 years old but has picked up 24 separate injuries during his professional career . But even as recently as this season, Wilshere was hitting form before going off against Manchester United. He was certainly more impressive than Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla in the Arsenal midfield, and impressed for England in a deep-lying role. There now seems to be little space for the Stevenage-born schemer to fit in this starting XI. Ramsey, Cazorla, Sanchez, Francis Coquelin, and Mesut Ozil played behind Olivier Giroud in the recent thumping victory over Liverpool, and that's without the likes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Tomas Rosicky, Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck involved. Of course, the ideal state of play would be for Wenger to build a team around Wilshere, a man who is signed on for three more years, and not to consider any bids from divisional rivals at least. But Arsenal would be foolish to dismiss anything over \u00a330m in today's market, especially considering the", "summary": "Manchester City considering bid for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere .

A fantasist prowler who harassed young women, traumatising them after scaling the walls of trendy apartment blocks where they lived, has been banned from the area nearby for five years. Matthew Hall, 25, climbed onto the balconies in of his victims in Manchester's fashionable Northern Quarter district and hid, asking when confronted 'am I scaring you?' and 'you're dead sexy - can I come in?'

Hall now risks arrest if he enters the area, where each of his terrified victims lived, at any time in the next five years. Jailing him for two years after he admitted two attempted burglaries and one burglary, Judge Martin Rudland said he had 'deliberately targeted vulnerable women' scaling the walls of buildings 'like a cat burglar of old' in a series of 'highly suspicious offences'. Hall stole nothing from the victims. Making the order prohibiting Hall from 'the area known as the Northern Quarter', bordered by Shudehill, Church Street, Dale Street and Newton Street, Judge Martin Rudland said 'we need to protect the occupants of flats.' In the first offence, on June 16, a teenager, who has been left traumatised by her ordeal, spotted Hall hiding behind a clothes maiden on a balcony of a first floor flat at Silver Jubilee Walk, off Oak Street. When she asked him what he was doing, he sat up and 'appeared scared', telling her: 'Don't phone the police, you don't need to be scared of me. I'm just hiding.' He then lied that police were chasing him, the court heard. The victim led him to the front door but a short time later, having returned to her bedroom, saw him again on the balcony. Hall, of Farnborough Road, Miles Platting, has 45 offences on record for dishonesty, violence and breaches . She angrily approached him and he burst into tears, giving her a false name, before climbing down from the balcony.

Hotel staff found the body of pregnant Charmain Speirs face-down in a bath where it is believed she had been lying for four days. Her husband Eric Isaiah Adusah \u2013 a self-proclaimed prophet and evangelical preacher \u2013 has been charged with her murder. Pastor Eric Isaiah Adusah has been charged with the murder of his pregnant wife, Charmaine Spears . Ms Speirs and Mr Adusah, who were married last September, were said to have argued during their stay . Local news reports said an autopsy showed the mother of one died of 'opiate heroin overdose'. Mr Adusah's defence lawyer Mr Adomako Acheampong has claimed in court that 41-year-old Ms Speirs was a habitual heroin user \u2013 and that her whole family were addicted to the drug. But speaking exclusively to The Mail on Sunday, Ms Speirs's brother Paul said that his sister had never touched drugs and it was 'an outrageous lie' to say his family were all addicts. He added: 'The defence lawyer seems to be suggesting she had been a heroin addict for years but that's absolute rubbish.' The gardener, 30, admitted that he had battled heroin addiction \u2013 but said it had been Ms Speirs who ensured he sought help at a Christian-run rehabilitation centre near Glasgow. He insisted he had now been drug-free for ten years. He also said his sister, who had an eight-year-old son from a previous relationship, would not have taken any such substances of her own accord, adding: 'My sister was always against drugs.' The couple pictured on a Christmas card. Mr Adusah is the leader of Global Light Revival Ministries church based in Tottenham, north London and has been active as a preacher in Britain since 2010 . And he rejected the claim that his entire family, including parents Peter, 63, a self-employed plumber, and 61-year-old cleaner Linda, were addicted to drugs, saying: 'My parents can't stand the things.' He revealed that Charmain's family had been surprised at her 'whirlwind marriage' to Mr Adusah last September and had never trusted him. And he said that her friends had noticed changes in Ms Speirs after she met and then married 28-year-old Mr Adusah, who was based in Britain but is originally from Ghana. Ms Speirs grew up in Arbroath in the Angus region of Scotland before moving to Swansea, where she studied photojournalism and then worked as a radiography assistant for the NHS. Last year she married Mr Adusah, leader of the Global Light Revival Ministries church based in Tottenham, North London. He has been active as a preacher in Britain since 2010.

Justin Welby will say in his Easter sermon that 148 Christian students slaughtered by Somali gunmen on Thursday were \u2018witnesses\u2019 to their faith and suffered \u2018cruel deaths\u2019. His comments follow Pope Francis\u2019s denunciation of the \u2018senseless\u2019 killings at Garissa University College, in which Christians were singled out and shot. The Pope said in a Good Friday service in Rome that too many were guilty of a \u2018complicit silence\u2019 in the face of such attacks. In an overtly religious Easter message, David Cameron says it was \u2018truly shocking\u2019 that Christians were still tortured or killed because of their faith in much of the world. Their outspoken comments came as three people were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the attack in the north-east of Kenya, bringing the total number of suspects being held to five. The Kenyan Government said the three, who were trying to cross into Somalia, are associates of Mohamed Mohamud, a former teacher at a Kenyan Madrassa Islamic school, who is believed to have co-ordinated the attack. Meanwhile, a survivor of the killings was found yesterday two days after the massacre. Cynthia Charotich, 19, hid in cupboard and covered herself with clothes, refusing to emerge when classmates came out of hiding at the demand of the Al-Shabaab gunmen.

+{"article": "Covering aircraft in blue lights, and only turning them on when beginning to take off, could help stop birds colliding with aircraft. That\u2019s according to a study, which found that birds responded to lights in different ways than a human might. The researchers said runways could be synced with taxiing aircraft, to help capture birds\u2019 attention before an aircraft takes off. The study was conducted by scientists at Purdue University in Indiana. They were investigating how to reduce bird to aircraft collisions by keeping birds away from planes (stock image shown). Research showed that birds responded most to blue lights on planes . The study, by scientists at Purdue University in Indiana and the National Wildlife Research Centre in Ohio, was published in The Condor: Ornithological Applications. They were seeking to find a solution to the problem of birds colliding with aircraft, which causes \u00a3480 million ($700 million) worth of damage in the US alone. The FAA estimates that bird strikes have resulted in 200 worldwide deaths since 1988. They are dangerous to aircraft because birds can be sucked into a jet engine and strike an engine fan blade. That impact knocks out a single blade and can trigger a domino effect, resulting in engine failure. Incidents are most common shortly before landing or take-off when the jet engines are at top speed. A 12lb (five kg) goose striking an aircraft going 150 mph (240 km/h) at lift-off generates the force of a 1,000lb (450kg) weight dropped from a height of 10ft (three metres), according to Bird Strike Committee USA. Despite this, the number of accidents involving civil aircraft is low, estimated at one fatal accident in one billion flying hours. Around 65 per cent of bird strikes cause little damage to aircraft, but the blow is usually fatal to the bird. In experiments, they studied how flocks of cowbirds responded to model aircraft. They found that blue light was the most noticeable by birds, so they outfitted the aircraft in this colour. When the plane was stationary, the birds became alert more quickly when the lights were on. But when it approached them with its lights off, their response slowed - and they only became more alert when the lights were turned on. And the birds were also more likely to get out of the way of the aircraft when the lights were pulsing, rather than being continuous. The authors suggest that runways could be synced with aircraft to alert birds to incoming planes and avoid collisions. The lights could be off during taxiing but on during take-off, to help the birds move out of the way of the fast-moving planes. And they say their method could even help birds avoid collisions with buildings and wind turbines by also covering them in blue lights.

Yet, as Joe Herbert makes clear in his engaging whistlestop tour of the science surrounding it, testosterone is at the heart of human life. \u2018Without our father\u2019s testosterone,\u2019 as he writes, \u2018none of us would exist.\u2019 It has only one basic function \u2014 to enable a male to reproduce, and for that it\u2019s essential. Although this is the case and it\u2019s impossible to think of \u2018maleness\u2019 without testosterone, it\u2019s also important for sexual behaviour in women. The blood of an adult woman before menopause actually contains about five times more testosterone than oestrogen, the supposedly \u2018female\u2019 hormone. However, it\u2019s as a metaphor for masculinity that testosterone is best known. All that\u2019s unpleasant about male behaviour is ascribed to testosterone, yet as Joe Herbert explains, testosterone is at the heart of human life . It begins its influence in the womb as it helps to shape the distinctive characteristics of the male body. This influence continues immediately after birth. That three-month-old baby boy, sweetly smiling at you from his pram, may well have testosterone levels that rival his father\u2019s. We don\u2019t know why but, starting two weeks after birth and lasting for four to six months, a little boy\u2019s testes are producing testosterone in substantial amounts. The hormone\u2019s power then recedes, but returns \u2014 and how! \u2014 in puberty. Post-puberty, testosterone drives the competition for females. In the animal world, stags lock antlers, elephants enter the aggressive state known as musth and male rhinos go horn-to-horn. Even male giraffes, aroused by the hormone\u2019s influence, flail at one another with their long necks. Elaborate colourings emerge in some species, designed to emphasise masculinity and attract female attention. In guenon monkeys the scrotum turns bright blue. They don\u2019t seem to mind. They adopt the habit of sitting with their legs apart to show the female guenons just how big and blue they are. We can only be thankful that testosterone\u2019s effects on sexual display in humans are not so visually dramatic. Adult human males have varying levels of the hormone in different circumstances. Entirely unsurprisingly, having sex increases testosterone levels. So, too, does talking to an attractive woman and watching pornographic movies. Winning at sports sends the levels racing upwards. Just supporting a winning team can have the same effect. It works in politics as well. A study showed that, during the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, Barack Obama supporters were pumped full of testosterone. Levels fell in the supporters of his defeated rival, John McCain. Testosterone also helps in the City. Another study, on a London trading floor, showed that male traders made more money on days on which their morning testosterone levels were higher than usual. A challenge is obviously stimulating. Surgeons facing difficult procedures often find their testosterone levels shooting up.

He met new Mongolian prime minister Chimed Saikhanbileg but the secrecy surrounding his trip stoked fears from ecologists and the opposition that he is being deployed to encourage Western investment to the country to massively increase gold, copper and coal mining, despite acute environmental worries.

When the Washington couple's three-year-old had first began complaining of someone talking to him at night, his parents had put it down to their toddler's over-active imagination, reported CBS New York. That was until one night when they heard a strange man's voice come over the monitor to tell their son: 'Wake up little boy, daddy's looking for you.' A couple heard the terrifying message: 'Wake up little boy, daddy's looking for you' come through their 3-year-old son's baby monitor (stock image) And the horrified parents, who do not want to be named for fear the unknown man could track them down, believe it is not just the audio monitor that has been hacked. They believe the stranger has also got into the camera on the device. After the first creepy message, the boy's mother had walked into the room and overheard the hacker saying, 'Look someone's coming' or 'Someone's coming into view.' The mother said she broke down in tears after the realization hit home that a total stranger was able to control the camera to watch their son and spy on them.

They reported the incident to Foscam, the company where they bought their monitor, who admitted it was possible the device's cameras were being controlled remotely but they could not say from where.

'It's basically like they're standing next to you in your house,' Lance Ulanoff, chief correspondent for the digital media website Mashable,CBS. He warned that parents should change the passwords on the devices to make it more difficult for people to guess. Because some new baby monitors connect to the internet and come with a smartphone app, it has become easier for hackers to infiltrate them and listen in or speak to children . 'If somebody else has your login information, they can go to that same app, and log into your webcam, which is what happened here,' Ulanoff said. Earlier this month, another couple - this time from Rochester, Minnesota - discovered their baby monitors and cameras had been infiltrated after they found footage from the nanny cam posted online, according to Redbook. They first became suspicious after they heard music coming in from their baby's room.

The core they hope to retrieve will allow them to look back in time 10 million to 15 million years into the past. It could help uncover exactly what happened to create the crater - and if it killed off the dinosaurs. UK researchers studied the asteroid impact 66 million years ago (illustration shown). They found the heat near the impact site in Mexico was not intense enough to ignite plant material. A heat pulse lasted less than a minute, too short to set plants alight . The impact site is believed to be the 125 mile (200km) wide Chicxulub crater buried underneath the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula in Mexico. When the six-mile-wide (10km) asteroid hit what is now Mexico approximately 66 million years ago, dinosaurs were experiencing environmental upheaval, which left them vulnerable. Previous researcher has questioned the theory that a global firestorm accompanied the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs. A team of researchers has found that heat near the impact site would not have been sufficient to ignite plants. It suggests our understanding of the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs may not be as complete as thought. 'The Chicxulub impact crater has been a remarkable scientific opportunity for the 20 years since it's been discovered,' Sean Gulick, of The University of Texas at Austin Institute for Geophysics, told Livescience. An international team of scientists met last week in M\u00e9rida, Mexico, located within the 125-mile-wide (200 kilometers) Chicxulub crater, to discuss their plans for the drilling project, slated to start in spring 2016. They believe that when a big rock smashes into Earth at high enough velocities, the collision causes the crust temporarily to act like a liquid, first forming a so-called transient crater (like the indentation that forms on a lake surface after a rock is thrown in), and the center rebounds, or splashes, upward and then outward. 'We think the peak ring is the record of the material that rebounded and splashed outward,' Gulick told Live Science. All of these ideas are based on models and aren't necessarily what happened. 'We've never gotten a rock back from a peak ring to know if that's correct,' Gulick said.

As more people came, they began bringing items to try and help get Shelby out, using grocery bags, car floor mats, tarp, garbage bags, a straw hat and even bare hands. With no cell phone reception to call for help, owner Tom George had to leave his dog Shelby stuck by the Great Salt Lake's Spiral Jetty and drive an hour out to the nearest town . But the group was able to separate the dog from the tar, piece by piece, as they continued to put objects in to pit to keep Shelby from getting stuck again or from continuing to sink lower into the pool of tar . Shelby still couldn't move after he was freed from the pits, so five people helped carry him to the road and saw that George had come back just in time . Max McGregor said that as they separated the dog from the tar piece by piece, they would continue putting objects in the pit to keep Shelby from getting stuck again or continuing to sink. According to Tanner, no one in the newly-formed group 'knew exactly what to do', but they worked for over an hour together to find a way to get Shelby out.

A five-year-old boy in Dallas has had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of discovering 100million-year-old dinosaur bones while searching for fossils with his dad. Wylie Brys was digging with his dad, Tim Brys, back in September at a construction site near a Mansfield, Texas, grocery store when he made the ancient discovery. 'He walked up ahead of me and found a piece of bone,' Dallas zookeeper Brys said. 'It was a pretty good size and I knew I had something interesting.' The pair had been finding fish vertebrae, but when Wylie came back with the bone, Brys asked him to take him to where he found it, according to KSAX. And now, scientists from Southern Methodist University have helped a Dallas zookeeper and his 5-year-old son excavate the fossil. Tim Brys and his son Wylie worked at the excavation site Tuesday to dig up what paleontology professor Dale Winkler believes could be a nodosaur, a pony-sized dinosaur that dwelled on land. Though Brys and Wylie discovered the fossil last September, it took over seven months to obtain necessary permits to dig up the bones. Scientists started digging last Friday, according to the Dallas Morning News. At the time, the zookeeper, who often leisurely digs for fossils with his son, was not sure what Wylie, then four years old, had found. Wylie (left) and his dad Tim Brys (right) often go on fossil-searching trips as a way to be outside and spend time together. It's believed that the bones Wylie found belong to a nodosaur, a a pony-sized herbivore with scaly, plated skin . The two kept digging because they knew there was a chance of finding Jurassic period marine life remnants in the area. What they found was the nodosaur - meaning 'knobby lizard' in Greek. The lizards were 15-foot-long, scaly-plated plant eaters that could weigh up to about 2,000 pounds according to the Dallas Zoo. 'My dad told me it was a turtle,' Wylie said Tuesday at the site of his discovery. 'But now he's telling me it's a dinosaur.' University experts said it is rare to find a dinosaur in the Dallas area.

+{"article": "The first signs of dark matter interacting with a force other than gravity may have been found. Until now it was thought that dark matter did not interact with anything other than gravity, earning it its \u2018dark\u2019 moniker and making its detection incredibly difficult. But the discovery of a \u2018clump\u2019 lagging behind a galaxy suggests that it may not be as oblivious to our universe as we thought. Durham University scientists studied a 'clump' of dark matter that appears to be lagging behind its galaxy - suggesting it interacts with itself. In this Hubble image, the lagging clump can be seen on the left of the central cluster. The distribution of dark matter in the cluster is shown with blue contour lines . Dark matter is confusing because it interacts with nothing - including itself. This is despite seeming to account for 85 per cent of the universe\u2019s mass and having an observable effect on galaxies: without dark matter, our galaxies would \u2018fall apart\u2019 as they spin. Aside from gravity, though, dark matter seemed to just pass through the universe without interacting with any other mass, such as humans, planets or stars. Now an international team of researchers at Durham University has found a clump offset from a galaxy by 5,000 light-years, suggesting that is not the case. When physicists study the dynamics of galaxies and the movement of stars, they are confronted with a mystery. If they only take visible matter into account, their equations don't add up; the elements that can be observed are not sufficient to explain the rotation of objects and the existing gravitational forces. There is something missing. From this they deduced there must be an invisible kind of matter that does not interact with light but does, as a whole, interact by means of the gravitational force. Called 'dark matter', this substance appears to make up 85 per cent of the matter in the known universe. When it comes to the total energy in the universe, though, it's a different story. Astronomers have found that the total mass/energy content of the universe is split in the proportions 68 per cent dark energy, 27 per cent dark matter and 5 per cent 'normal' matter. Dark energy is an unknown force across the whole cosmos that seems to be accelerating the expansion of the universe. So the 85 per cent figure above relates only to the fraction of 'matter' that is dark. The discovery was made around one of the galaxies in the Abell 3827 cluster, 1.3 billion light-years away. Here, four galaxies are colliding around the centre of the cluster. The team used the European Southern Observatory\u2019s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, along with images from Hubble, to view Abell 3827. The offset is important because it is only possible if dark matter interacts with itself through forces other than gravity. If the particles collide with each other, the friction from the collisions would cause the dark matter to slow down, and fall behind the galaxy. The nature of that interaction is unknown; it could", "summary": "Durham University scientists studied a 'clump' of dark matter . It was found to lag behind the galaxy it was associated with .

Under the new Scottish drink-drive law, enacted on December 5, the limit was cut from 80mg per 100ml of blood to just 50mg. And the effect of the drop in sales is so severe, it is being blamed for a poor result in the country's latest Bank of Scotland PMI report. Scotland's tough new drink driving law is being blamed for stalling the country's financial growth . Donald MacRae, chief economist at Bank of Scotland, said: 'Manufacturing exporters have been affected by the falling euro while services businesses in hospitality are seeing a changing pattern of spending resulting from the lowered alcohol limit while driving.' The report follows a February study which revealed the country's bar sales had dropped by 60 per cent when the new limit was introduced. Publicans are now concerned the new laws will have a greater effect on bars and drinking establishments than the 2006 smoking ban. Paul Waterson, chief executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, told The Independent the new law - which matches limits across much of Continental Europe - was a 'form of prohibition'. He said: 'It\u2019s stopped people having a drink at lunchtime, or having a drink on the way home from work. People aren\u2019t coming in for food with their families on a Sunday afternoon. Hospitality industry leaders claim the new law is stopping moderate drinkers from having a tipple at lunch or on their way home from work .

There\u2019s questions being asked about the future of the trade \u2013 it\u2019s probably the last nail in the coffin for independent operators.' The February study, carried out by purchasing firm Beacon, revealed there was a surge in interest in non-alcoholic drinks and smaller glass sizes. Tennant Hilditch, director of sales, said the first two months of the new drink driving laws had shown a 'real impact' on the country's hospitality industry. He said: 'Traditional lunchtime drinkers, or post-golf drinkers in the clubhouse have been particularly affected by the new rules. 'So much so, that we are seeing demand for smaller glasses, weaker beers, a trend towards introducing earlier lunch sittings so guests or golfers can stay longer and do not return to the roads as quickly, as well as an increased interest in \"mocktails\".' In the wake of the law change, Police Scotland assistant chief constable Bernard Higgins encouraged drinkers to 'leave the car at home' if they were planning to go for a drink. He said: 'There is no safe amount of alcohol in the body if you drive. It is clear when it comes to drinking and driving, that the simple \"the best advice is none\" message is the right one.'

A former Ukip MEP fraudulently claimed almost \u00a3500,000 in European Parliament expenses - using some of it to fund his domestic court battles, a court heard today. Ashley Mote, 79, of Binsted, Hampshire, is accused of a string of fraud-related offences including acquiring criminal property and obtaining a money transfer by deception. Some of the money he allegedly made from the fraud went towards funding various legal costs he had built up as a result of being prosecuted in the UK for benefit fraud offences, a jury at London's Southwark Crown Court was told. He denies 11 offences alleged to have taken place between November 2004 and July 2010. Jonathan Davies, prosecuting, said that as an MEP, Mote could claim expenses, including a Parliamentary Assistance Allowance, or Secretarial Allowance, to help fund his work. Mr Davies said: \u2018What the prosecution say happened between 2004 and 2009, when Mr Mote ceased to be an MEP, is that he abused that allowance by submitting false claims for payment for work which he said to the European Parliament had been done by organisations working on his behalf.\u2019 Jurors heard that two of the organisations had previously campaigned against UK membership of the European Union. They were the Better Off Out Fund (Boof), and Direct Action Resistance To Tyranny (Dartt). However, it is alleged that neither of these companies conducted any work for Mote, who made claims of \u00a316,000 against Boof, and \u00a354,000 to Dartt. \u2018They were simply used as a front to perpetrate, carry out fraud and to receive monies from the European Parliament,\u2019 said Mr Davies. European Parliament in Brussels: Prosecutors claim Mote was 'using European Parliament money to fund his defence and various appeals in connection with being prosecuted for benefit fraud' Mote is also said to have falsely claimed \u00a35,000 a month for work he claimed had been carried out by Estonia based company Icos (Information Centrum Owned State). It is alleged that he even set up a Danish bank account under the similar name of \u2018Information Centrim OS\u2019 for funds from the European Parliament to be paid into, \u2018dishonestly obtaining\u2019 approximately \u20ac355,000.

The Parole Board is reviewing the case of a murderer who was the first man to be convicted on the basis of DNA evidence. Colin Pitchfork was jailed for life in 1988 for raping and killing two schoolgirls. He strangled 15-year-old Lynda Mann to death after raping her on a deserted footpath in the Leicestershire village of Narborough in 1983. Three years later he raped and killed Dawn Ashworth, also 15, less than a mile from where he murdered Lynda. Pitchfork was finally caught two years later thanks to DNA tests on all the men in surrounding villages. He received a 30-year minimum sentence which was then cut to 28 years in 2009, meaning he was supposed to be eligible for release next year. A spokesman for the Parole Board said: 'We can confirm that the Secretary of State for Justice has referred the case of Colin Pitchfork to the Parole Board for a review of his suitability for release. 'If the Board does not direct his release, it has been asked to advise the Secretary of State on his suitability for open conditions (Category D prison).' Once a case has been referred to the Board, it usually takes around six months before a decision is issued, meaning the double murderer could be out this year. Pitchfork argued at his 2009 appeal against his sentence that the 30 years was 'manifestly' excessive. He was jailed at Leicester Crown Court in 1988 after pleading guilty to two counts of murder, two of rape, two of indecent assault and one of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Announcing the decision to reduce the minimum term by two years in 2009, the then Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, said the appeal was being allowed to a 'very restricted and limited extent relating to exceptional progress in custody'. He emphasised that the decision 'has no bearing whatever on the continuing effect of the sentence of life imprisonment on the appellant'. The judge added: 'He cannot be released unless and until the safety of the public is assured.' Former Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge ruled in 2009 that Pitchfork should not be released until the public could be assured it was safe . After the world's first mass screening for DNA - where 5,000 men in three villages were asked to volunteer blood or saliva samples - Pitchfork was eventually caught. The Lord Chief Justice at the time said after he was jailed that 'from the point of view of the safety of the public I doubt if he should ever be released'. Lord Judge said in 2009 that Pitchfork's progress since he was first incarcerated 'goes far beyond general good behaviour and positive response to his custodial sentence, but reflects very creditable assistance to disabled individuals outside the prison system'. He added: 'On the evidence before us he has sought to address the reasons behind", "summary": "Colin Pitchfork raped and murdered two 15-year-old girls in the 1980s .

After saying it was because she had spent \u2018five months nursing her son back to health after being blown up in Afghanistan\u2019, Lieutenant Colonel Ron Shepherd, the leader of Ukip\u2019s North East Lincolnshire group, launched an investigation.

The High Court ruled today that United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust must pay in excess of \u00a314.6 million for birth injuries, after failing to carry out a Caesarean section on Suzanne Adams and properly monitor her during labour. The hospital's negligence led to her son James Robshaw, now 12, being born with cerebral palsy. The decision, believed to be one of the most significant in a case of medical negligence and the largest ever such court-ordered award for birth injury, reflects the lifetime care that James needs. Suzanne Adams' son James Robshaw was born with cerebral palsy after she hospital staff failed to carry out a Caesarean section or properly monitor her during labour .

His intellect has remained fairly well intact and he communicates through sophisticated eye-gaze equipment. He will however be dependent on others to enable him to carry out the most routine daily tasks for the rest of his life. While the exact sum has yet to be confirmed, MailOnline understands the minimum payout will be \u00a314.6m. To date, the biggest medical negligence payout has been around \u00a315 million - and Ms Adam's lawyers hope to exceed this amount. Ms Adams was in labour when she was admitted to Lincoln County hospital in 2002. Although her baby's heart was monitored after her arrival, midwives either ignored or could not interpret the CTG trace - which detects foetal heart rate - correctly. James had an abnormal heart rate and was evidently in some distress and Mrs Adams was exhausted by a prolonged labour.

The confusion about CTG interpretation and the additional failure to carry out a timely Caesarean section meant there was a delay in delivering James.

Croatian police never solved the mystery of how the student's body came to be in nearby Boninovo Bay, where it was found almost three weeks after she disappeared on September 18. Her family believes Ms Lapthorne was murdered, her body weighted down and dumped at sea. It has now emerged a Victorian inquest into her death will be closed.

At the time, the coroner confirmed Ms Lapthorne's body should have surfaced within two or three days. The criminal investigation remains open in Croatia, but the Lapthorne family does not have confidence in police there.

First, we know Cheryl has already told Albert the month of her birthday, and Bernard the day. Each of the men does not know what the other has been told. So, for Albert to be 'certain' that Bernard cannot know the answer - as suggested in the first statement he makes - we can deduct that the birthday cannot possibly be in May or June. This is because in the months of May and June there are numbers (dates) that only occur once across the four months - namely May 19 and June 18.

After training at the University of Cambridge and Harvard Law School, he qualified as a barrister in 1954 and was appointed a QC in 1971. He has fought tirelessly for the return of Jewish assets held in Swiss banks by the Nazis, and was made a life peer on his retirement from the Commons in recognition of his achievements in public life. Those are the bare facts of Greville Janner\u2019s gilded career. For nearly 25 years, however, a shadow has hung over Lord Janner of Braunstone in the same way it did Cyril Smith and a string of other establishment figures. We now know, from victims who have come forward following his death \u2013 too many for the allegations not to be true \u2013 that late Rochdale MP Smith was a serial paedophile. But was Janner?

But the evidence will never be tested in court after Alison Saunders, Director of Public Prosecutions, ruled that it was not in the public interest to put the Labour peer on trial because of his age and ill health. Janner, 86, is a father of three. His youngest daughter, Laura Janner-Klausner, 51, is an ordained rabbi and serves as senior rabbi at the Movement for Reform Judaism. His son Daniel Janner is a prominent QC.

Shortly afterwards, reports emerged that he was suffering from advanced dementia. In the month before the raid, Janner attended the Lords 15 times, claiming \u00a32,100 in daily allowances, which has inevitably cast a critical spotlight on the decision to not prosecute him. Janner, it should be stressed, strongly denied the allegations against him \u2013 including claims of rape \u2013 when they surfaced nearly 25 years ago at the trial of Frank Beck, a care-home warden suspected of abusing scores of children in his care.

The educators fed answers to students or erased and changed the answers on tests after they were turned in to secure promotions or up to $5,000 each in bonuses.

That her relationship with the rest of the Firm is so good is due, in no small part, to her 'charm and charisma', both of which got an appreciative mention from her husband during a recent interview with CNN. The natural warmth she displays during public appearances has helped cement her place in the Royal Family, with courtiers impressed by her knack of creating an instant rapport with members of the public. Most recently, she pulled off a tour of the US with aplomb, charming locals with her approachability and winning admiring headlines at home.

At the time of the killing, in an industrial park near Hernandez's North Attleborough home, the tight end had a $40 million contract with the Patriots. The defense's first witness was Dr. David Greenblatt, a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine, who testified that the drug PCP can cause people to be suddenly violent, even days after smoking it. Hernandez's two co-defendants, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, were seen smoking PCP a few days before the crime. Both men have pleaded not guilty and will be tried later.

Known for her outspoken support for democracy and press freedom, Gao went missing last April and resurfaced on China's state broadcaster a month later admitting she had made a 'mistake'. Shang said the main evidence presented at Gao's trial in November was a 'confession' she made after police threatened the journalist's son, who they had also detained. He added that after the verdict was read out Gao stated in a 'strong voice' that she would appeal, but was not allowed to make any further statement. The court denied the defence access to documents used to convict her, the lawyer said. The septuagenarian suffers from high blood pressure and Shang added he was 'very worried' about her health. Chinese courts are tightly controlled by the ruling party and more than 99 percent of defendants are convicted, with appeals rarely successful.

A text message intended for a senior aide to George Osborne \u2013 but accidentally sent to a newspaper \u2013 yesterday divulged plans for a \u2018tax free minimum wage\u2019. The details are unclear, but it is thought this would mean that those on the minimum wage would be exempt from paying any income tax \u2013 even if its level is raised in future. New plan: The details of George Osborne's leaked plans are unclear, but it is believed to mean that minimum wage earners wouldn' t be paying any income tax . The minimum wage currently stands at \u00a36.50 an hour, rising to \u00a36.70 in October. Labour\u2019s Ed Miliband yesterday pledged that he would help low earners by raising the level above \u00a38 an hour by October 2019. But the Conservatives look set to outflank both Labour and the Lib Dems on the issue of low pay with a firm commitment in their own manifesto, released today. David Cameron said in his speech to the Conservative party conference last year that he wanted to see the threshold for paying income tax \u2013 currently \u00a310,600 \u2013 go up to \u00a312,500 by April 2020.

Critique: Danny Alexander said Osborne\u2019s spending plans are 'becoming less and less credible' But if Mr Cameron goes further by also raising the minimum wage \u2013 and still keeping everyone on it out of tax \u2013 then that would represent a major giveaway. Tax cuts for the low paid are a priority for the Prime Minister after promising to raise the inheritance tax threshold and the 40p rate of tax for those on higher incomes.

+{"article": "How Neanderthals met their demise remains a long standing mystery for historians. One theory is that early modern humans 'bullied' their Neanderthal cousins to the point of extinction because they had better tools to survive. But a new study of ancient stone tools contradicts this theory by suggesting human weapons were no better than those created by Neanderthals. The researchers studied stone tools that were used by people in the Early Ahmarian culture and the Protoaurignacian culture, living in south and west Europe and west Asia around 40,000 years ago. They found the human tools (pictured) were no more effective than Neanderthal-created tools of the same era . Researchers say the discovery means we may need to rethink the reasons humans survived Neanderthals - and that we may not have behaved as differently as we thought. Traditionally, scientists believed that innovation in weapons enabled humans to spread out of Africa to Europe. But the new study by Nagoya University and the University of Tokyo in Japan argues Neanderthals were just as well-equipped as their human counterparts. 'We're not so special, I don't think we survived Neanderthals simply because of technological competence,' said Dr Seiji Kadowaki, first author of the study from Nagoya University, Japan. On the left is a map of the Levant showing the locations of the Early Ahmarian-related sites analysed in this study. Neanderthals (reconstruction right) may not have been as dim-witted as first believe, claims the study . The Early Ahmarian culture used small stone points as tips for hunting weapons like throwing spears. Researchers previously considered these to be an important innovation - one that helped the humans migrate from west Asia to Europe, where Neanderthals were living . Early modern humans expanded the geographic area they inhabited out of Africa during a period of time 55,000-40,000 years ago. The researchers studied stone tools that were used by people in the Early Ahmarian culture and the Protoaurignacian culture, living in south and west Europe and west Asia around 40,000 years ago.

Researchers previously considered these to be an important innovation - one that helped the humans migrate from west Asia to Europe, where Neanderthals were living. They are often depicted as dim-witted evolutionary losers, but Neanderthals were not driven to extinction by their lack of brains.. Instead, it is more likely that they disappeared 40,000 years ago because of interbreeding and assimilation with our early modern human ancestors, scientists believe. An analysis of archaeological evidence dating back 200,000 years strips away some of the myths surrounding Neanderthals and reveals they were more advanced and sophisticated than has widely been thought. Many researchers believe the differences between the two human species are not enough on their own to account for the demise of the Neanderthals.

+{"article": "The largest single high-definition map of mysterious dark matter has been produced. It is the first in a series of maps of the cosmos that will eventually allow a 3D view of dark matter across one eighth of the night sky. And the map should allow astronomers to study how galaxies formed in the universe. University of Manchester researchers have revealed an HD dark matter map (shown). It shows clumps of mystery particles across 0.4 per cent of the sky. The goal is to eventually map 12.5 per cent over five years. Red here shows more dark matter, and blue shows less. The moon is shown top left for scale . A team from the University of Manchester, led by Dr Sarah Bridle, has spent the past two years measuring the shapes of galaxies used to construct the map. And the map was released today at the April meeting of the American Physical Society in Baltimore, Maryland. It was created using data captured by the Dark Energy Camera, a 570-megapixel imaging device that is the primary instrument for the Dark Energy Survey (DES) led by Fermilab in the US. The survey uses the 13ft (four metres) Victor M. Blanco Telescope located at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile. When physicists study the dynamics of galaxies and the movement of stars, they are confronted with a mystery. If they only take visible matter into account, their equations simply don't add up; the elements that can be observed are not sufficient to explain the rotation of objects and the existing gravitational forces. There is something missing. From this they deduced that there must be an invisible kind of matter that does not interact with light but does, as a whole, interact by means of the gravitational force. Called 'dark matter', this substance appears to make up at least 80 per cent of the matter in the known universe. And the project is run overall as part of the five-year Dark Energy Survey (DES), and is the largest map of this detail. Of course, we can\u2019t actually directly observe dark matter yet - so the survey instead looks for its noticeable effect on galaxies. Studying this enables the predicted amounts of dark matter in a given area to be mapped, based on its gravitational effects. \u2018Dark matter could equally be called \u201ctransparent matter\u201d, because we see things behind it that gets distorted by gravity,\u2019 Dr Bridle told MailOnline. In the map she explained we\u2019re seeing about 150 times the area of the full moon, which is about 0.4 per cent of the whole sky. The goal of the DES is to map 12.5 per cent of the entire sky, creating a 3D map of dark matter - and dark energy. \u2018It is amazing to see a map of the dark matter over such a large region of the sky, and the full Dark Energy Survey mass map will be more than 30 times bigger still,\u2019 Dr Bridle said in a separate statement.

Statistics collected at Maastricht University in Holland, where cannabis is decriminalised, have shown that students who were able to buy the drug from coffee shops were five percent less likely to pass their courses. At the same time, foreign students who did not have ready access to the mind bending drug did better on average, the Observer reported. The study will rankle with the increasing number calling for the legislation of cannabis around the world . Economists Olivier Marie from the Dutch University and Ulf Z\u00f6litz of IZA made their findings based on what happened in Maastricht in 2011 when the city let only German, Dutch and Belgian nationals have access to its 13 coffee shops, where cannabis was sold. The restriction was put in place to combat drug tourism which was thought to be tarnishing the city\u2019s image. Tourists particularly from France and Luxembourg were visiting Masstricht solely to smoke cannabis. Marie and Z\u00f6litz studied the 54,000 sets of grades from students all around the world and came to a stark conclusion. In a paper recently unveiled at the Royal Economic Society conference in Manchester the economists showed plainly that those without easy access to the drug did better in their studies on average. The temporary prohibition constrained consumption amongst the non-German, Dutch and Belgian nationals and their brain function improved. Students who were able to buy the drug from coffee shops were five percent less likely to pass their courses . Marie was quoted as saying the difference was found to be similar to those observed in the US when students reach legal drinking age. The change before and after restriction was seen to be even more pronounced amongst \u2018low achievers\u2019. Without access to cannabis they had a 7.6 percent chance of passing the courses. The pair also came to stark conclusions when looking at stats for maths students. For those courses numerical skills the policy effect was \u2018five times larger\u2019. For those stuying courses with numerical skills the policy effect was \u2018five times larger\u2019, the Maastricht University (pictured) study stark concluded .

He was once the driving force behind Britpop in the 1990s and became known for his very public spat with Oasis' Gallagher brothers. And now Blur frontman Damon Albarn, who lives in Kensington and Chelsea in London, has returned to pick a fight with even more people in the music industry. Albarn has criticised today's pop stars for 'talking platitudes' and singing only about themselves, at a time when, he believes, they could be using their music to make political statements in the run up to the general election. The 47-year-old dubbed modern pop artists as existing in a 'selfie generation' of stars who use their music to reveal only how they feel. 'Modern day musicians are talking platitudes now and it's not interesting to me,' Albarn told the Sunday Times' Culture magazine. His comments are timely as Blur releases its first album in years this month. Albarn's criticisms are also likely to resonate with people who have been scornful about the work of modern day pop stars such as Taylor Swift and Sam Smith who are known for using their singles to express their emotions about failed relationships. 'What are any of them saying?' added Albarn, now a father-of-one. 'I don't hear them saying anything other than \"This is me and this is how I feel,\" which is an important part of songwriting, but we're talking in the context of an election.'

They became one of the best known bands in pop, fuelled by a very public row with rivals Oasis. But by 2002 Graham Coxon - best friend of Albarn - was asked to leave the band and they all began to do their own projects. In 2009 they reunited to play Hyde Park and again in 2012.

When Cook slapped a Kemar Roach full toss to the boundary in the early stages of his reply to West Indies\u2019 299 on Wednesday, he moved beyond Alec Stewart into second place among England\u2019s great Test accumulators. Now only Graham Gooch, the man Cook returned to earlier this year to try to restore his batting to full working order, stands above an England captain who is very much fighting for his leadership future in this series. Alastair Cook passed Alec Stewart's 8,463 runs to become England's second highest Test run-scorer . Cook had watched West Indies\u2019 last pair of Devendra Bishoo and Shannon Gabriel add an unlikely 52 to undo much of the good work provided by a welcome burst of wickets from Stuart Broad. It lifted the hosts to a score that should have been beyond them and left Cook and Jonathan Trott, both under pressure after their failures in Antigua, with the final session of the second day to begin the climb towards a total big enough to press for a priceless victory. Trott had been frenetic on his return to the side in Antigua but here he was much more like his old self, scratching away at the crease and meticulous both off his pads and on the drive. Anything short, particularly from the pacey Gabriel, was swiftly ducked. Cook, meanwhile, looked comfortable with his new stance even though he could easily have fallen on 29 off the leg-spinner Bishoo. When bad light stopped play they had reached 74 and England, perhaps, were back on top.

Brett Robinson is facing 12 charges related to sexual misconduct and official misconduct after allegedly letting the inmate out of his cell multiple times and engaging in sex acts between March and July last year. The case follows that of her colleague Lisa Curry, 39, who last month was sentenced to over four years prison for repeatedly having sex with a 25-year-old gang member and convicted rapist. Robinson, who worked in a maximum security control room known as 'the bubble', struck up a relationship with the inmate - who has not been named - in a nearby cell.

They continued having sexual encounters, the report said, and Robinson wrote the inmate a love letter that began with 'Hi Baby'. The letter said: 'I am hoping this letter will better convey the love I feel deep inside for you. ... You are a constant presence in my thoughts, fantasies and dreams, and I feel this pervasive emptiness without you by my side. It makes it hard to go about my normal daily activities when all I do is miss you. You are my everything, Baby \u2013 I could not envision my life without you in it.'

After appearing on Finding Your Roots and learning one of his ancestors was a slave owner, Affleck pushed the network to leave that information out of the program it was first revealed by DailyMail.com, a request the producers ultimately agreed to.

'The assumption is that they will never be dishonest but they will respect your willingness to participate and not look to include things you think would embarrass your family.' He then added; 'I regret my initial thoughts that the issue of slavery not be included in the story.

+{"article": "The continents of North and South America came together much earlier than previously thought, according to researchers who found evidence in rock deposits from ancient rivers in Colombia of the land bridge that connected the long-isolated landmasses. The two continents are linked at Panama, but there has been a debate about when this land bridge first appeared, with most experts placing its formation at about 3 million years ago. The new study, published on Thursday in the journal Science, presents evidence that the Panama land bridge formed at least 10 million years earlier. Before the Isthmus of Panama rose from the sea by tectonic and volcanic action, the Central American Seaway linked the Atlantic to the Pacific as one great ocean. The various continents, sitting atop huge plates akin to jigsaw puzzle pieces sliding over Earth's mantle, have slowly moved around the globe during the planet's history. They have separated, drifted and joined numerous times in a process called plate tectonics. South America became an isolated landmass when it separated from Africa. Likewise, North America broke apart from Europe and headed on a gradual collision course with South America. Until then, a deep water channel called the Central American Seaway separated the continents. The researchers base their estimate on the presence of small grains of a mineral called zircon unearthed in ancient river bedrock in northern Colombia that originated in Panama and were 13 million to 15 million years old. These grains suggested the land bridge must have existed at that time, they said. 'We contend that a bridge, perhaps a transient one, was present since 13 to 15 million years ago,' said geologist Camilo Montes of Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, who led the study. 'Beds younger than about 13 to 15 million years contain abundant zircon grains with a typically Panamanian age,' said Montes. 'Older beds do not. 'We think these zircons were deposited by rivers flowing from the Isthmus of Panama when it docked to South America, nearly 10 million years earlier than the date of 3 million years that is usually given for the connection.'

A three-judge panel of the court will conduct a hearing on his appeal of his public corruption convictions on May 12. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell fought back tears outside a federal court building after he was sentenced for selling the influence of his office to the CEO of a dietary supplements company . McDonnell was sentenced to two years in federal prison for public corruption . McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, were convicted in a joint trial in September of accepting more than $165,000 in gifts and loans from former Star Scientific Inc.

They were responding to the government's brief urging the court to uphold the criminal convictions. Former first lady Maureen McDonnell, left, was sentenced to a year and a day . Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams testified under an immunity deal, admitting that he paid the governor with lavish perks in exchange for helping him secure university backing for his 'miracle cure' Anatabloc product .

'Here, defendant directed his action toward subordinate state employees within the branch of government that he controlled as governor,' they wrote, while in the Jefferson case 'a congressman took action through meetings, letters, and the like directed at other government agencies or foreign governments.' One of McDonnell's chief claims on appeal is that the favors he did for Williams did not amount to 'official acts' covered by federal bribery law. In the new filing, he argues that a meeting McDonnell arranged for Williams with an administration official was 'innocuous' and that there was nothing special about an event at the Executive Mansion to launch Star's signature product, the anti-inflammatory Anatabloc.

Jasmine Midgley nearly died after a birthmark began blocking her airways. Her parents Tanja and Steven were warned she may not survive . In the days after her birth, the seemingly harmless mark had started growing into her throat, almost closing over her airways and choking her. Doctors diagnosed a rare condition called a subglottic hemangioma - a benign tumour made up of blood vessels that can be on the skin or go deeper . Despite several trips to the GP and A&E, her parents Tanja and Steven, of Stockton-on-Tees, had been repeatedly told their daughter had bronchiolitis. This is a common infection of the upper airways that most often affects babies and young children.

Her life-threatening problem was only detected the next day when a new doctor came onto the ward and noticed the birthmark - which by now had spread all over her neck - was cutting off her air supply. Doctors explained the birthmark had sparked the problems because of a rare condition called a subglottic hemangioma. Haemangiomas are benign tumors made up of blood vessels that can be on the skin or go deeper. They usually appear days to weeks after birth and the type that affected Jasmine occur in the breathing passage, just below the vocal cords.

+{"article": "Victim: Dr Martin Luther King . The FBI repeatedly deceived Congress by destroying vital files relating to the assassination of Martin Luther King, a new book claims. Leading King historian Stuart Wexler said that the bureau chose to cover up the potential role of a high level informant in the killing rather than tell the truth. Wexler said that it could have been one of the greatest scandals in the history of the FBI - but now we may never know what happened. By destroying the files the FBI disobeyed a direct order not to do so from a Congressional Committee which had been set up to investigate the killing of King and former President John F Kennedy. Wexler told Daily Mail Online that the bureau's actions were 'disturbing' and that his research had left him suspecting that agents had mounted a deliberate operation to bury the truth forever. King was shot dead by James Earl Ray on 4 April 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee in a killing which galvanized the civil rights movement. Power: Dr King's leadership of the civil rights movement was demonstrated in the I Have A Dream speech in 1963. His death on 4 April 1968 shocked a nation already scarred by the deaths of President John F Kennedy - and the civil leader's murder was followed by that of Robert Kennedy . Guard: The balcony at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, where Dr King was shot. Caught: James Earl Ray, the assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King Jnr. being taken to his cell by Sheriff William Morris, in Memphis Tennessee, July 19, 1968. He had been on the run since the death . Key figures: James Earl Ray (left) in the wanted picture issued by the FBI. Joseph Milteer (right) was a racist known for a covertly recorded interview in 1963 in which he spoke of the Kennedy and King assassinations before they happened . Interest in King's life has been renewed since the release of the Oscar-winning film 'Selma', about the historic march from the Alabama town, which was 50 years ago this year. But Wexler said that there are still many unanswered questions about his death which he addresses in a new e-book called 'Killing King'. The FBI plot began when the House Committee on Assassinations was set up in 1976 - it would finish its inquiries into the killing of King and Kennedy in 1978. Wexler said that the FBI appears to have been spooked after an investigative reporter called Dan Christensen published a number of articles about the Miami connection to both assassinations, articles which the committee were interested in. Wexler said that, according to his research, in 1977 the MURKIN (murder of King) files were destroyed from the FBI field offices in Miami and Mobile, Alabama. Crucially, both had information on Tommy Tarrants, a former high ranking Klan member from Mississippi. Wexler said that something in that file made the FBI upgrade Tarrants from a little-known racist activist to major player in the King assassination to the point", "summary": "FBI accused in new book - by leading King historian Stuart Wexler - of misleading Congress by destroying files on civil rights leader's murder .

Killer pilot Andreas Lubitz searched the internet for information on suicide and depression using the name 'Skydevil', it has emerged. The chilling username was discovered after analysis of a tablet computer found at his home, according to German newspaper Bild. Investigators also found search terms for disorders such as 'bipolar' and 'manic depressive'. In a separate development, it has emerged that European regulators warned Germany's aviation authority of inadequacies with its health check-ups in a regular review of air safety enforcement, the European Commission said. Its statement did not say when the review was carried out. But the Wall Street Journal said the Commission told Berlin in November 'to remedy the long-standing problems' - months before the Germanwings crash that killed all 150 people aboard. Meanwhile, the aviation authority, the Luftfahrtbundesamt (LBA), also said it did not know about Lubitz's medical background prior to the crash. Parent company Lufthansa said Lubitz told officials at an airline training school he had gone through a period of severe depression in the past, raising questions over whether medical checks of crew members by the safety regulators and airlines are rigorous enough. EU officials found that the LBA had a lack of staff, which could have limited its ability to carry out checks on planes and crew, such as medical checks, the Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. It said it was unclear whether the deficiencies identified at LBA were factors in the crash, however. Vetting of airline crew is in the spotlight after the budget airline flight was crashed deliberately into by Lubitz. 'On the basis of EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) recommendations, the Commission has addressed the issues to Germany to require compliance. 'Germany's replies are currently being assessed,' the Commission spokesman said in the statement, emailed out on Saturday. 'All EU member states have findings and this is a normal and regular occurrence. It is part of a continuous system of oversight: findings are followed by corrective action, similar to an audit process,' the Commission spokesman said, without specifying EASA's findings in Germany. The spokesman was not immediately available for further comment. The Germanwings Airbus A320 (above) crashed into a mountain at 430mph, killing all 150 people on board . A spokeswoman for the LBA said EASA's audits of national aviation authorities such as the LBA took place several times a year. She said the LBA had answered a single-figure number of criticisms levelled at it during the audits and those responses were now being assessed by EASA. Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Lufthansa did not inform aviation regulators that Lubitz had struggled with depression. Sources at the Federal Aviation Office (LBA) said they were never made aware of the 27-year-old's mental health issues and only learned about them following the disaster.

Jan Oblak 9 - Blocked everything in the first half as a wind-assisted Real Madrid looked like putting the tie beyond doubt in the first 45 minutes. Had less to do in the second half but did it well. A man of the match display from the 22-year-old. Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak made a big save to deny Gareth Bale in the early minutes . Juanfran 7 - He was rattled, along with the rest of the team, in the first half but he played his part in keeping Madrid at bay. Miranda 7 - Will not have put any watching suitors off with another solid display alongside Godin - that is the third time this season Real have failed to score against Atletico Madrid at the Calderon and Miranda is a major reason for that. Diego Godin 7 - A rare slip early on let Bale in but the Welshman failed to punish the Uruguayan and he recovered well to marshall the team to another clean sheet against the European champions. At times in the first half he must have been seeing flashbacks of extra time in Lisbon but came through without conceding. Atletico Madrid centre-back Diego Godin rises higher than Sergio Ramos to attempt a header on goal . Guilherme Siqueira 6 - No mystery why Diego Simeone wants Felipe Luis back at the club next season. Siquiera is a threat going forward but a liability defensively and will be replaced in the summer. Arda Turan 7 - Always bright going forward and tested Casillas in the second period with a shot the Spain keeper did well to save. Will be vital in nicking a goal at the Bernabeu next week. Mario Suarez 6 - Forced a fine second-half save from Casillas but was just as blown away by Real in the first 45 minutes. Will still be a steal for someone at the end of the season if, as expected, he moves on. Gabi 6 - Simeone's soldier worked hard in defence in the first period but maybe lacked invention in the second period as Atletico took the initiative. Cristiano Ronaldo is crowded out by Atletico Madrid's Mario Suarez (left) and Gabi . Koke 6 - Currently struggling to live up to those 'new Xavi' tags. Still a tremendous prospect and gave as good as he got against Real's trio of Modric, James and Kroos.

Achatz and his business partner Nick Kokonas opened Alinea in 2005, and it quickly became one of America's must-visit restaurants. Having a three-star Michelin star qualifies a restaurant as a place worth traveling to, just to eat at. Achatz's culinary origins, however, are surprisingly humble. He first started cooking when he was a kid, helping his mom and dad at their diner in Michigan.

Hannah Bluck, 18, from Porthcawl, south Wales, had her dreams shattered after a rare condition ruled her out of the game for two years. The teen football prodigy was warned by doctors that her leg could collapse into her ankle after being diagnosed with avascular necrosis in her distal tibia. Wales' Hannah Bluck, 18, has had her promising career halted after suffering a rare condition . The 18-year-old has played for the Wales youth national teams at U19, U17 and U16 level . Avascular necrosis is bone death due to poor blood supply. The flow of blood to a section of bone can be interrupted if the bone is fractured or the joint becomes dislocated. The condition can lead to the eventual collapse of the bone. It is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 60, though most suffer from it in the hip and shoulder. The ultra-rare condition has caused her weight-bearing shin bone to die from lack of oxygen. Doctors have been baffled by the condition, which has never been seen before on a leg bone and usually affects joints. Mum Kerstin said: 'The doctor told her \"Hannah, you have to listen to everything I say because even if you go jogging then your leg could collapse into your ankle and that would be the worst thing that could ever happen\". 'I think she's dealt with it better than we have as parents. She's been so brave. 'She has such a high pain threshold and her first words to me after her accident were \"where've you been and what took you so long?\" 'Hannah's a girl of few words but one of the most aggressive centre-backs you'll ever see.' The youngster set records at youth level for Wales - appearing for the under-16s, under-17s and under-19s sides in the space of just eight days - before she was struck down by a freak accident in March 2013. The promising centre-back suffered a sickening dislocation of her ankle and fractured her fibia and tibia after falling while running on astroturf during routine training. Despite the help of Football Association of Wales and Cardiff City physios, the talented star hit a brick road in her recovery and saw specialists in November 2013 when she discovered she had AVN. A scan of Bluck's shin bone, which has left doctors baffled by the rare condition . Hannah, who is also autistic, has not kicked a ball since and turned her hand to coaching, working with the girls' Under-8s, 10s and 14s at Swansea. Kerstin said: 'Hannah has always had a ball at her feet and played for her first club when she was seven. 'She used to play with the boys until she was 11 and she wasn't happy when she had to stop - she enjoys the rough and tumble.' 'Football is everything for her and she has missed out on the social side because all her friends are at football so she doesn't see", "summary": "Hannah Bluck has not played football since a freak accident in March 2013 .

A 12-year-old in central China was seriously injured when his phone exploded while it was charging. The boy, known only as Hanghang, was using the old handset as an alarm when he woke up early for school and started to play with it. He said the phone felt hot and then blew up in his face, exposing part of his jawbone and embedding fragments in his arms and legs. 'I played with the phone for a few minutes,' he said. 'The phone felt hot then it suddenly exploded and all I could see were my hands covered in blood and blood dripping from my face. 'I used a towel to stem the blood and washed my hands under the tap then I called the ambulance.' Hanghang, from Pingdingshan City, in the Henan province, told reporters at People's Daily Online that when the explosion happened he didn't dare tell his parents and called the ambulance service himself following the accident last week. He is now being treated in Ping Mei Group Hospital and is expected to need several operations to repair the damage. Hurt: Hanghang pictured lying in a hospital bed after a mobile phone exploded, injuring his face and hand . Doctors said he had 4cm injury to his face which exposed part of his lower jawbone as well as trauma to his left hand as well as lower legs and knees. He underwent emergency surgery before he was sent to the burns unit and onto the plastic surgery inpatient department. Experts believe there are three main reasons a phone may explode like this. The first is the battery itself is damaged and although it is connected to a charger it isn\u2019t actually charging. A short circuit is another possible cause but this is a less likely unless the phone has been illegally modified in some way. The most common cause is improper charging. It affects lithium batteries more where the phone may be fully charged but is left on charging or if phone is used whilst charging may lead to lithium batteries overheating. Overheating and poor contact can result in a sudden discharge of a current and cause an explosion. Tips include to avoid using the phone while the battery is being charged by disconnecting the phone from charger before connecting a call or using any of its functions. Ensure it is not over-charged by removing the electric supply when the battery is fully charged. If the battery seems to have swollen, it should be replaced immediately. Hanghang said he could not be sure of the type of phone as it was one of several old phones. He said: 'It was the battery that exploded. I have heard my classmates talk about this happening but I never thought it would happen to me.'", "summary": "Hanghang was playing on the phone after waking up early for school .

He was later released on bail. A 60-year-old man was arrested last year in connection with her disappearance and suspected murder but was later released without charge.

+{"article": "Sons and brothers of convicted sex offenders are more likely to be convicted of sex crimes than others, a recent study claimed . The implication is that the potential for committing a sex offence may be written in our genes - but while this is an interesting finding, it is unlikely to help prevent sex crimes or catch offenders. This is because the genes that make up the people who we are, and the environments in which we are raised cannot be considered independently of each other. The brothers of men convicted of sex offences are five times more likely than average to commit similar crimes, a study found. Johnny Savile (left) is accused of abusing seven women, while Jimmy Savile (right) raped and sexually assaulted patients in 41 hospitals during a 24 year reign of abuse . The research analysed DNA from 21,566 men convicted of sex offences in Sweden between 1973 and 2009. It found that sons and brothers of convicted sex offenders were four to five times more likely to be convicted of sex crimes than men in the general population. In seeking to explain this connection, the researchers found that in only 2 per cent of cases could this familial connection be explained by shared environmental factors. This can include social or environmental aspects of their upbringing that siblings would have experienced together. On the other hand, their shared genetics were a factor in 40 per cent of cases, with the remaining 58 per cent of cases stemming from environmental factors not shared between family members. Genetic factors were also found to be stronger for child molestation (46 per cent) than for adult rape (19 per cent). While the study makes an estimate of the heritability of sexual offending, it cannot of course pinpoint the genes that might be involved. Dr Mairi Levitt says that genetic material from both parents is passed on, but genetic traits are developed through interaction between genes and the environment . Putting a figure on the genetic basis for behaviour seems to suggest that these factors are inherited directly by the children from their parents. Of course genetic material from both parents is passed on, but genetic traits are developed through interaction between genes and the environment. As can be seen from the percentages above, the largest proportion of cases involved a large, rag bag of environmental factors that are by far the greatest influence on behaviour. You may not have been born a criminal, but a combination of genes and environment could control your fate when it comes to anti-social behaviour. This is according to a recent study which found that experiences, such as divorce and sexual abuse, could affect gene expressions that control a person's predisposition to delinquency. The study used a survey of 1,337 students aged 17 or 18 in V\u00e4stmanland, Sweden, who anonymously completed questionnaires reporting on their behaviour. As well as their behaviour, they spoke about past family conflict, experiences of sexual abuse, and the quality of their relationship with their parents.

Teenager Li Hao-tong looked to have done enough to secure a hugely popular victory on home soil, the 19-year-old emerging from a crowded leaderboard to card a closing 67 to finish 12 under par. That left overnight leader Aphibarnrat two shots behind with two holes to play, only for the 25-year-old to hole from 18 feet for an eagle on the 17th and then miss from 12 feet for what would have been a winning birdie on the last. Kiradech Aphibarnrat poses with the trophy having won his second European Tour title in Shenzhen . The players returned to the 18th for the play-off and Aphibarnrat completed victory in style, hitting his approach to virtually the same place as he had in regulation and this time holing the birdie putt after Li had missed from long range. 'I have been struggling for a year,' said Aphibarnrat, whose previous win came in the Malaysian Open in 2013. 'I lost my coach (Natpasit Chokthanasart, who died in December 2013), I changed my equipment and haven't been on the top of the leaderboard for a while but finally I can do it and it was great.

That was wiped out by a fast start from Spain's Pablo Larrazabal, who carded four birdies and one bogey in his first six holes, with Aphibarnrat also dropping shots on the fifth and seventh. Birdies on the ninth and 10th took Aphibarnrat back into the lead as Larrazabal fell away, but bogeys on the 12th and 15th opened the door for Li to take over at the top thanks to birdies on the 11th, 13th and 14th.

Nearly 100 female British soldiers were sent home from Afghanistan after finding out they were pregnant. Ninety-nine servicewomen on operations were flown back to the UK between January 2006 and December 2013, a Freedom of Information request revealed. Sixteen women were removed from Afghanistan in 2013 due to pregnancy while 18 were sent home in 2011, the data showed. A further 102 women were evacuated from Iraq. Strict military rules ban mothers-to-be from serving in war zones. The women were flown back on flights usually reserved for injured troops and the true figure could be higher if others travelled via routine flights. Troops are reminded by senior officers to check they are not pregnant before they fly to the front line - but are not made to do pregnancy tests. Most of the babies would have been conceived before the mother left the UK but a small number of women may have become pregnant on tour. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said at the time: 'The small numbers of personnel who discover that they are pregnant on operations are returned at the first convenient opportunity.'", "summary": "HMS Ocean had five women removed in nine years, according to new data .

Their 2-0 victory over Swansea made it three Premier League wins in a row for the first time since 2000, lifting Nigel Pearson\u2019s side to 17th and ending their five-month spell at the bottom. All this after just two wins in their previous 24 games. Most looking at the club reasoned relegation would be a matter of time. Instead, Queens Park Rangers, Burnley, Hull and Sunderland are now shorter odds to go down with bookmakers. In truth, there have been no significant changes to affect results. Pearson has applied the same principles throughout the season, except now Leicester are taking more chances. Here Sportsmail assesses the key themes of Leicester\u2019s revival. Leicester striker Leonardo Ulloa celebrates after scoring against Swansea during his side's 2-0 win . Scoring surge . Andy King\u2019s late tap-in meant Leicester have scored two or more goals in a fourth consecutive top-flight match for the first time since May 2000. Previously, Leicester were creating plenty but fluffing their lines. Against Crystal Palace in February, for example, they had five shots on target, eight shots off target, six shots blocked \u2013 and failed to find the net, losing 1-0. They had six shots on target against Swansea, with a much better success rate. Andy King scores Leicester's second goal to seal three points against Swansea at the King Power Stadium .

The payout by Maricopa County, which was revealed on Wednesday, comes after it emerged that Patrick Morrison continued to assault the mentally-disabled girl, his niece, and even got her pregnant when detectives failed to properly investigate the case. Her rape was among more than 400 sex-crime cases that were inadequately investigated or not looked into at all by Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office over a three-year period ending in 2007. Morrison, from Mesa, first raped his niece Sabrina Morrison in March 2007, and after she told a teacher the following day, authorities performed a rape kit on her.

He threatened to kill her if she told anyone about the assaults, Sabrina said as she spoke out about the ordeal in 2012. Her family said she was acting out so badly, that she was sent to live in a group home. Finally, four years after the initial attack, the case was re-opened and deputies gathered the blood sample from Morrison. The following year, he was arrested. Victim: Sabrina, pictured as a child, told a teacher she had been raped when she was 13 but authorities falsely said there was no evidence of the attack. It meant her uncle continued to rape her for four years . Locked up: The case was re-opened in 2011 and Morrison, pictured in court, was sentenced to 24 years .

And while his season may have been over at that time, many believed Manziel would still tone things down for a bit in the wake of that controversy, which made it all the more shocking when he was spotted partying at FDR Lounge at the Delano in Miami on over the New Year holiday, alongside the likes of LeBron James and Ryan Phillippe, and then seen chugging champagne straight from the bottle while sitting poolside with girlfriend Colleen Crowley and some buddies poolside at the Delano. At this point, some in the sports world, chief among them columnist Skip Bayless, began to suggest that the Heisman Trophy winner needed to get help for his drinking. The aqthlete was in treatment for roughly six weeks before being released . Appearing on ESPN\u2019s First Take, Bayless, a noted supporter of Manziel, did not mince words as he made it very clear that in his opinion the former college star needed to deal with his drinking.

+{"article": "The Josh Meekings\u2019 saga took a new twist on Friday when it emerged the SFA judicial panel had decided it was not entitled to apply retrospective punishment in his case. On Thursday, the Inverness defender was cleared to play in the Scottish Cup Final against Falkirk on May 30 after a charge of deliberate handball to deny Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths in last Sunday\u2019s semi-final was thrown out. In the aftermath of the 3-2 extra-time win, Meekings admitted he was fortunate not to have conceded a penalty and been red-carded. Inverness defender Josh Meekings will be allowed to appear in Scottish Cup final after his ban was dismissed . His admission \u2013 backed by manager John Hughes \u2013 preceded the player being cited by the SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan. That unprecedented move following a game in which a handball incident had gone unpunished, brought a warning from Jim Boyce, head of FIFA\u2019s referees committee, that a successful prosecution would open up a can of worms. Although such a scenario was avoided with the charge being kicked out, the furore surrounding the issue prompted the SFA go public on Friday with the tribunal panel\u2019s reasons. And it seems they accepted the preliminary argument of Inverness\u2019 legal representative that they weren\u2019t entitled to take the matter further. A statement read: \u2018Further to the judicial panel hearing on Friday involving Josh Meekings, the panel considered initial submissions from Mr Meekings\u2019 solicitor. \u2018In particular it was argued by him that under protocol 13.4.1.1 the judicial panel was not entitled to determine the matter. Meekings was not sent off and no penalty was given as Inverness went on to beat Celtic 3-2 after extra-time . \u2018The panel considered that as the incident (but not the actual alleged sending-off offence of handball) had been seen by one or more of the officials it was not entitled to consider the matter further. \u2018It accordingly dismissed the complaint without any consideration of the merits of the incident or the decision arrived at by the referee.\u2019 The explanation raises questions as to whether McGlennan ought to have cited Meekings in the first place. Meekings admitted he was fortunate not to have conceded a penalty and been red-carded against Celtic . However, legal sources have told Sportsmail that the SFA\u2019s prosecutor is entitled to cite players even in such instances when officials have seen an \u2018incident\u2019 but have failed to spot an \u2018offence\u2019. Yet it appears that in Meekings\u2019 case, the panel concurred with his solicitor\u2019s argument that they were not entitled to take the matter further as the match officials had seen the incident. The matter is further confused by the fact that former Hearts striker Ryan Stevenson and ex-Motherwell keeper Darren Randolph were previously banned retrospectively for serious foul play as the referees in question had seen the \u2018incidents\u2019 but missed the \u2018offences\u2019 in question.", "summary": "Josh Meekings deliberately handled the ball during Inverness's 3-2 Scottish Cup semi-final victory against Celtic .

'It is a man-made disaster,' she told Glenn Beck during a Monday radio interview. 'With different policies over the last 20 years, all of this could be avoided.' The 'tragedy' of California, Fiorina, a maybe presidential candidate, said, is it 'has suffered from droughts for millennia,' and still 'liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California\u2019s population has doubled.' Scroll down for video . Former Hewlett Packard head and maybe Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is attributing the years-long drought in California to 'liberal environmentalists,' whom she says brought on the state's water shortage with their policies. 'California is a classic case of liberals being willing to sacrifice other people\u2019s lives and livelihoods at the altar of their ideology. It\u2019s a tragedy,' Fiorina, a one-time California Senate candidate, told Beck, on Blaze Radio station. With the drought stretching into its fourth year, California's Democratic Governor Jerry Brown last week signed an executive order limiting water consumption. Excluded from the new restrictions, however, was the agricultural industry, which is responsible for 80 percent of the state's water usage. Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill at the end of last year allowing water to be redistributed from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to drought-affected areas of the state, but the legislation died in the then-Democratically-controlled Senate. The measure was opposed by environmental groups, who said the water transportation system would disrupt the habitat of certain fish species, and the White House had said the president would veto the bill if it passed. Zeroing in on President Barack Obama, Fiorina, a Republican, said Monday, that '[he] goes out to California a little over a year ago, calls it a tragedy of global warming and hands out money to a food bank.' 'This is all about politics and policy, and it is liberal environmentalists who have brought us this tragedy,' she continued. Fiorina, now a resident of Virginia, was referring to the president's February 2014 visit to San Luis Obispo.

First, he says, they \u2018fan the mark\u2019. The \u2018mark\u2019 is the victim. So \u2018fanning\u2019 is using your hand with the fingers spread out to feel for valuables, usually using the back of the hand. \u2018It\u2019s a light, fluttering motion and, if executed correctly, the victim isn\u2019t aware of it,\u2019 says Freedman.

Kestutis Martuzevicius repeatedly stalled efforts to extradite him, claiming they breached his human rights. The 52-year-old, who is wanted for 22 crimes in Lithuania, spun out the legal battle for nearly five years by insisting he was mentally ill, leaving the British public to foot the bill. Depression claim: In January last year, Kestutis Martuzevicius was admitted to Broadmoor on health grounds but by June his condition had improved and he was returned to Belmarsh Prison (above) Yesterday judges at the European Court of Human Rights criticised his \u2018manifestly ill-founded\u2019 case and ruled the alleged killer should be put on a plane home. In Lithuania he is accused of 22 crimes including two murders, robbery and extortion between 1993 and 1997, when he was a member of the feared Daktarai gang. The ruling brought to an end a saga that began when a warrant for his arrest was issued by Lithuanian police in June 2010. His case has cost British taxpayers a six-figure sum, according to legal experts. This figure includes the cost of police time, legal fees racked up by challenging his claims in the courts, the \u00a340,000 a year price of keeping him in the Category A prison Belmarsh, and treating him at Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital. His case reignited the row over the ease with which alleged foreign criminals could exploit human rights laws. Michael Ellis, a former Tory MP, said: \u2018This is a shocking example of Labour\u2019s Human Rights Act putting the rights of suspected foreign criminals ahead of the rights of the British public.\u2019 Waste of time: Judge Guido Raimondi (above), of the European Court of Human Rights, said: 'The court considers that this complaint is manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected' Martuzevicius came to the UK in 1996. It is thought he claimed asylum. He was arrested in London in June 2011 under a European Arrest Warrant. Magistrates agreed to his extradition in October of that year and he was held in Belmarsh prior to being sent home. But he appealed to the High Court on the grounds he was depressed and would face reprisals by criminals in his homeland if he returned. He claimed this violated Article 2, the right to life, and Article 3, the right to avoid inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment. British judges ruled his extradition would not be unjust because he could expect a fair trial and the authorities would protect him from retaliation. But Martuzevicius then launched a new appeal with the European Court of Human Rights. According to court documents, in 2012 he was diagnosed as mentally ill, with a psychiatric report saying he was seriously depressed, suffering from a delusional disorder, and that there was a risk of suicide. In January last year, he was admitted to Broadmoor but by June his condition had improved and he was returned to Belmarsh.

And yet just as this latest health food is supposed to be transforming our lives, battling high cholesterol and heart attacks, it is having a ruinous effect on the planet. The nut that frequently appears in the Bible as a symbol of fruitfulness and promise has been dubbed \u2018the Devil\u2019s nut\u2019, pinpointed as the chief culprit in an eco-disaster that is developing in California. The so-called Golden State is increasingly turning a dirty brown colour due to a devastating drought that is in its fourth year. Although it\u2019s tempting to blame all those irresponsible Californians filling their huge swimming pools and watering their lawns with abandon, domestic water consumption is dwarfed by that of agriculture. Bone dry: A Californian farmer is pictured surveying his drought-hit land in San Luis Obispo County . The state has long been one of the world\u2019s biggest producers of fruit and vegetables \u2014 for profit-hungry farmers, its year-round sunshine more than outweighs the obvious drawback that it hardly ever rains there. Californian farmers have been allowed to hog dwindling supplies of water, digging ever-deeper bore holes to keep the rest of us stocked up with all-year-round peaches, sweet peppers and pistachios. And all would still have been fine if it hadn\u2019t been for the addition of almonds. The trouble is, global demand for the nut is soaring \u2014 as customers from David Cameron to millions of middle-class Chinese develop a passion for almond-based foods. The Prime Minister is said to splash almond milk on his breakfast cereal and in his tea. And it almost certainly comes from California. Attracted by the huge profits being made from a crop that is hardly cheap, California farmers now satisfy 84 per cent of the world\u2019s almond demand. Worth \u00a33.8 billion in 2013, almonds have become California\u2019s second biggest agricultural commodity after milk, as demand has exploded by 1,000 per cent in a decade. The problem is that almonds guzzle water on a monumental scale. It has been calculated that it takes 1.1 gallons of water to grow a single almond. Worse, they need water all the year round, so almond trees must be watered even when they are not producing. Dry days: Homes with swimming pools are seen in the Palm Springs area, California, as the state enters its fourth year of severe drought . Since almond trees cover almost a million acres of California (about the size of Cornwall) \u2014 many of them on previously virgin hillsides or in areas with little or no rain \u2014 that\u2019s a lot of H2O being sucked up to satisfy our almond craving. In total, almonds are annually consuming 1.07 trillion gallons of water in the state \u2014 a fifth more than the entire indoor water usage of all 39 million Californians. All of which is slightly problematic, given that two-thirds of California is classified as being in \u2018extreme drought\u2019, as the region suffers its driest conditions for 1,200 years.

And while the dangers of overheating lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries have been known for some time, researchers have now revealed exactly what happens inside the 'burning' cells. Thermal images show copper inside the battery reaching temperatures of at least 1,085\u00b0C (1,985\u00b0F) causing jets of molten material to burst from its vent. Scroll down for video . Researchers subjected Lithium-ion batteries to heat and used thermal imaging and non-invasive high speed imaging techniques to observe changes in their internal structure. Copper inside melted, indicating temperatures of at least 1,085\u00b0C (1,985\u00b0F), and it caused molten material to stream from the vent (pictured) The footage is the first time the failure of Li-ion batteries due to overheating has been recorded. It was filmed by Paul Shearing from University College London and the findings are published in the journal Nature Communications. Li-ion batteries are vulnerable to a condition known as thermal runaway, which occurs when the rate of heat generation is greater than the rate of heat lost. Although battery failure is rare, prevention of thermal runaway presents one of the greatest challenges for the safe operation of lithium-ion batteries. Dr Shearing and his colleagues subjected two commercial Li-ion batteries, known as Cell 1 and Cell 2, to external heat. They then used thermal imaging and non-invasive high speed imaging techniques to observe the internal structure of each. Li-ion batteries are vulnerable to a condition known as thermal runaway, which occurs when the rate of heat generation is greater than the rate of heat lost. A Li-ion battery before being subjected to high temperatures is shown left, the same battery after heat abuse is shown right . During tests, one cell remained intact during battery failure and as the heat-generating reactions continued, hot gas followed by molten material jetted out through the battery\u2019s vent (pictured left to right). By comparison, the rapid pressure rise in a second cell caused the entire cap of the cell to detach . Cell 1 remained intact during battery failure and as the heat-generating reactions continued, hot gas followed by molten material jetted out through the battery\u2019s vent. Li-ion batteries have been known to overheat and are vulnerable to thermal runaway. This occurs when the rate of heat generated in the cell is greater than the rate of heat lost. Lithium-ion cells with cobalt cathodes, for example, are not designed to rise above 130\u00b0C (265\u00b0F). This is because, at 150\u00b0C (302\u00b0F) the cell becomes 'thermally unstable'. Once it reaches this state it can lead to a thermal runaway in which flaming gases are released. During a thermal runaway, the high heat in the failing cell can travel to the next cell, causing it to become thermally unstable as well. In some cases, a chain reaction occurs in which each cell disintegrates one-by-one. This means a battery pack can be destroyed within seconds, or the venting of gases and heat can last for hours.

Former Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich had talked for years of taking his life - and had become increasingly agitated over politics - but left no suicide note when he fatally shot himself, investigators said Tuesday. Police in the St. Louis suburb of Clayton said they have found nothing to suggest the death of Schweich, who was running as a Republican candidate for governor in 2016, was anything other than a suicide. Newly released police reports show Schweich felt so abandoned by GOP supporters that he told an aide on February 26, the day of his death, that he would have to either 'run as an independent or he needed to kill himself.' Schweich's death and the apparent suicide a month later of his spokesman Spence Jackson have sent shockwaves through Missouri politics. The latest police information came as Governor Jay Nixon on Tuesday announced plans to appoint fellow Democrat and county treasurer Nicole Galloway as Schweich's replacement.

Hennells fled the scene before police arrived, but he was quickly arrested in a nearby pub with \u00a3410 in stolen cash. Norfolk Crown Court heard that officers also recovered a knife. Last month, the 31-year-old, of Gaywood, King's Lynn,admitted robbery and carrying a knife as an offence. Sentencing him to four years in prison for armed robbery today, judge Anthony Bate said Hennells posed a 'high risk of serious harm to the public'. The court heard how armed police were deployed after the alarm was raised. Hennells had escaped after stealing a car belonging to a retired couple who had stopped to use a cashpoint. But officers tracked him down in a nearby pub, finding him carrying a knife and \u00a3410 in stolen cash. Another count of robbery relating to the car-jacking was left to lie on file, Norfolk Police said. Outside court, Sgt Pete Jessop, from King's Lynn CID, said that the Facebook confession made it easier to prove the case. Hennells posted this message only 15 minutes before threatening staff at Tesco's in King's Lynn .

Hennells held up staff at the Tesco store in King's Lynn, pictured on Friday, February 13 . 'But the thing that made it easier and quicker for us to solve the case was the assistance from the public. 'However, the quickness does not take away from its seriousness or how traumatic it was for the victims of the robbery.'

Brandishing his sword, Mr Zylinski said: 'Enough is enough, Mr Farage. So what I'd like to do is to challenge you to a duel.

Janek Zylinski, the aristocratic son of Polish war hero who fought the Nazis in 1939, posted the challenge online after declaring he had 'had enough' of the Ukip leader . The Polish prince, who lives in Ealing, West London, begins his video by introducing a gold sculpture of his father, Captain Andrzej Zylinski. The cavalry officer led a victorious charge against the Nazis in Kaluszyn, near Warsaw, in 1939, helping to save 6,000 Jews. In the online video he declares that he has had enough of the discrimination against immigrants from people such as Mr Farage. He said: 'I've had enough of the discrimination against Polish people in this country.' Mr Zylinski added: 'The most idiotic example I've heard of has been Mr Nigel Farage blaming migrants for traffic jams on the M40.' The prince says a duel with swords is what any self-respecting 18th Century Polish aristocrat and an English gentleman would do. But Zylinski also offers up an alternative way to settle their differences. He says that 'if his sword is a little rusty, we could meet in a studio for a duel of words in the run up to the election.'

Mr Loncsarevity could not answer questions as he does not speak any English but was described by colleagues as 'relatively low-skilled'. The firm's manufacturing manager Steve Dalton confirmed that the company needed to look to Eastern Europe to fill a skills gap and on occasion had flown potential employees from Poland.

Researchers found that heart patients who expressed gratitude for the positive things in their life had improved mental, and ultimately physical, health. The study involved men and women who had been diagnosed with Stage B heart failure. Heart patients who expressed gratitude for the positive things in their life had better mental and physical health, a study found . Stage B is where patients have developed structural heart disease - they may, for example, have had a heart attack that damaged the heart - but do not show symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath or fatigue. It is important to make beneficial lifestyle changes at this stage because patients are at a high risk of progressing to Stage C heart failure - where risk of death is five times higher - the researchers said. The 186 patients were assessed for their levels of gratitude using standard psychological tests. These scores were then compared with the patients\u2019 scores for depressive symptoms, sleep quality, fatigue, self-efficacy (belief in our ability to deal with a situation) and inflammatory markers. Inflammation can often worsen heart failure. \u2018We found that more gratitude in these patients was associated with better mood, better sleep, less fatigue and lower levels of inflammatory biomarkers related to cardiac health,\u2019 said Professor Paul Mills, from the University of California. Patients who were more grateful had lower markers of inflammation, which can worsen heart failure . To further test their findings, the researchers asked some of the patients to write down three things for which they were thankful most days of the week for eight weeks. Both groups continued to receive their normal clinical care during that time. \u2018We found that those patients who kept gratitude journals for those eight weeks showed reductions in circulating levels of several important inflammatory biomarkers, as well as an increase in heart rate variability while they wrote,\u2019 said Professor Mills. \u2018Improved heart rate variability is considered a measure of reduced cardiac risk. \u2018It seems that a more grateful heart is indeed a more healthy heart, and that gratitude journaling is an easy way to support cardiac health.\u2019 The research was published in the journal Spirituality in Clinical Practice.", "summary": "Heart patients who were more grateful had improved physical health .

'There is probably no bigger Las Vegas icon than that sign.' In 2009, the sign was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Kelly called Willis' designs dazzling and said her personality was akin to a strong, fast-talking female lead in movies like 'His Girl Friday.' 'A little salty, a little irreverent,' Kelly said with fondness. 'I thought she was a classic broad.' Willis, born in 1923 in the small town of Overton northeast of Las Vegas, worked as a commercial artist in Los Angeles before returning to Las Vegas, where she worked for sign companies and designed the famous diamond-shaped beacon of flashing lights.

Former Marine Jesse Kidder (right) has been praised for 'restraint and maturity' after he refused not to use deadly force against an armed double murder suspect. He had only been on his Ohio police force a year . Terrifying bodycam footage shows Kidder aiming at Michael Wilcox, 27, following a police chase. Wilcox, accused of gunning down two people, was also armed . At one point Wilcox said: 'Shoot me or I'll shoot you', but the Purple Heart winner refuses and responds by saying: 'I don't want to.' Eventually the suspect surrendered and lay on the ground with his hands outstretched as backup arrived, allowing Kidder's partner to handcuff him. The footage shows Kidder's gun aiming at Wilcox throughout the encounter. The officer told Cincinnati's WLWT: 'I was trying to open a dialogue with him. 'I don't want to shoot you, get on the ground,' but he wasn't having it. 'He got towards my face right as I lost balance. I'm thinking, at this point, that if he goes into attack me, that I'll have to use deadly force to defend myself.' Despite the tense confrontation, which could have quickly turned deadly, Kidder said he had to make sure his decision was correct. 'Law enforcement officers all across the nation have to deal with split-second decisions that mean life or death. I wanted to be absolutely sure before I used deadly force.' After the clip surfaced, Richmond Police Chief Randy Harvey, led the response for the cop's actions. 'For him to make the judgment call that he did shows great restraint and maturity,' he said. Wilcox, who allegedly gunned down is fiance and best friend, ran at Kidder (right) and asked the rookie to shoot him in New Richmond on Thursday. He has since been arrested and is being held on a $2m bond (mugshot left) 'This video footage, it eliminated all doubt that this officer would have been justified if in fact it came to a shooting.' Kidder, who did two tours of duty in Iraq, also revealed that a member of his family gave him the body cam after Michael Brown was shot dead by Darren Wilson in Ferguson last August. Harvey is now fundraising so all his cops can wear the devices. Wilcox was being held on Saturday on a $2m bond.

+{"article": "Kolo Toure has warned Raheem Sterling that leaving Liverpool could see him end up on the scrapheap at a big club, similar to the way that Jack Rodwell and Scott Sinclair did at Manchester City. Sterling stunned Liverpool earlier this week, giving an interview confirming that he has turned down a new \u00a3100,000-a-week contract and admitting he is 'quite flattered' by interest from Arsenal. Chelsea and Manchester City are also keen on English football's hottest property. But Toure, who used to play for City with Rodwell and Sinclair, has warned his Anfield team-mate a move to one of European football's heavyweights may not be everything he has dreamed of. Raheem Sterling has been warned about the dangers of leaving Liverpool by his team-mate Kolo Toure . Toure compared Sterling's situation with that of Jack Rodwell (left) and Scott Sinclair joining Manchester City . Toure (centre) says Liverpool is the best place for Sterling to stay and continue his development as a player . After starring in Everton's midfield and making his England debut, Jack Rodwell was being linked with every big club around. Sir Alex Ferguson was known to be an admirer but Rodwell was snapped up by Manchester City for \u00a312million. Repeated injury problems and the presence of Yaya Toure, David Silva, Samir Nasri and Javi Garcia saw his appearances limited, while Fernandinho arrived for \u00a330m the next summer. After just seven league starts in two years, Rodwell moved on to relegation-threatened Sunderland for \u00a310m. It was a similar story for Scott Sinclair. After powering Swansea City's promotion to the Premier League and scoring eight times in the top flight, Chelsea youth product Sinclair moved to City for \u00a38m. But he too struggled with the competition in City's squad and moved to West Bromwich Albion on loan last season. He found it hard to break into the team there and returned to City before heading out on loan again to Aston Villa in January where he has found some form. Rodwell joined City in a \u00a312million deal in 2012, while Sinclair made the same move from Swansea City for an \u00a38m fee later that summer. The English pair made just nine Barclays Premier League appearances between them across two seasons at the Etihad Stadium. Rodwell joined relegation-threatened Sunderland last summer to end his City nightmare while Sinclair is trying to rebuild his career at Aston Villa. Toure says Sterling could be making a similar mistake by leaving Anfield. 'Both Rodwell and Sinclair went to a club where there is big competition and didn't play,' Toure said. 'If Raheem left Liverpool he wouldn't be sure to start games. Make a mistake or don't score for two games and he will be on the bench. There is no messing at clubs like that.' Brendan Rodgers used his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's trip to Arsenal to reiterate that Sterling was not for sale, and Toure sees Liverpool as the perfect place for the 20-year-old to continue his development.

The Nantucket wooden chair, which once sat on a first-class promenade of the ill-fated ship, was salvaged by a search team from the Atlantic Ocean after the Titanic sank in 1912. Dubbed 'one of the rarest types of Titanic collectable', the chair is too fragile to sit on, but has been carefully preserved, having been owned by a British collector for the past 15 years. A 103-year-old deckchair recovered from the wreck of the Titanic is expected sold for \u00a3100,000 at auction . The ship's log records six or seven deckchairs being picked up and taken back to port in Halifax, Nova Scotia. One was given by a crew member to Captain Julien Lemarteleur, who had previously worked on board the Mackay-Bennett. The anonymous seller kept it by a large window overlooking the sea at his home on the south coast, never sat on it due to its fragile state and instead used it as a display item. It was sold yesterday at Henry Aldridge and Son auction house in Devizes, Wiltshire, to a UK buyer. Andrew Aldridge, of auctioneers Henry Aldridge and Son, described the piece as one of 'the most important [bits] of Titanic memorabilia around'. He said: 'It is incredibly rare to find something of that size that was on Titanic, was salvaged and that still exists today.

Now researchers believe they may have uncovered a possible explanation of what may have contributed to Neanderthals eventual demise - they were not very adept at controlling fire. A team of archaeologists at Boston University and the University of Bath believe this would have meant they lost out when modern humans arrived from Africa. Neanderthals, like the reconstruction above on display at the Natural History Museum in London, may have finally died out as they were unable to get as much energy from their food as modern humans who used fire . They used computer model the amount of energy Neanderthals would have been able to get from their food without cooking it compared to humans that were. They found that without fire, a group of Neanderthals would have had less energy - the equivalent 12 reindeer a year - than if they did. They are often depicted as dim-witted evolutionary losers, but Neanderthals were not driven to extinction by their lack of brains.. Instead, it is more likely that they disappeared 40,000 years ago because of interbreeding and assimilation with our early modern human ancestors, scientists believe. An analysis of archaeological evidence dating back 200,000 years strips away some of the myths surrounding Neanderthals and reveals they were more advanced and sophisticated than has widely been thought. Many researchers believe the differences between the two human species are not enough on their own to account for the demise of the Neanderthals. Neanderthals have been found to make stone tools and even made jewellery. Eight talons taken from a white-tailed eagle found at Neanderthal site in Krapina in Croatia were used to create a necklace or bracelet 130,000 years ago. Modern humans who regularly cooked their food could have then channeled this extra energy into growing their population and searching longer for food during lean periods. Anna Goldfield, an archaeologist at Boston University who led the research, said: 'Cooking makes meat more easily digestible, and that means that the calories that would've been used to digest raw meat can go to other uses. 'I determined, importantly, that a diet of cooked meat meant that either foraging groups could travel a bit farther in their range of gathering, or since they were getting more out of a set of resources, they could stay longer in the same landscape.' Living from about 300,000 years ago to 40,000 years ago, they were known to make stone tools and were accomplished hunters. They spread through out Europe and much of Asia, and there is some evidence that they made jewellery and art. Some researchers believe that they were also highly intelligent - possibly even as intelligent as modern humans, Homo sapiens. There are a number of theories for what caused Neanderthals to disappear - but most seem to agree it was the arrival of modern humans in Europe and Asia that played a role. Some archaeologists believe they were unable to compete", "summary": "Researchers used computer models to study how Neanderthal populations would have fared if they did not use fire to cook and modern humans did .

And with the new images it may be possible to further understand their evolution and how they cause space weather. Research led by a scientist at the New Jersey Institute of Technology has revealed the first high-resolution footage of a solar flux 'rope' taking shape on the sun, shown in this still image . The new footage was revealed in a paper in Nature Communications led by Dr Haimin Wang from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. A solar flare accompanies the twisting flux rope in the footage, which moves around a common axis before bursting from the sun. They are essentially twisted bundles of magnetic field that extend out of and back into the surface across hundreds of kilometres. As common structures in the solar corona, they are thought to be the main cause of several types of solar weather - including solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The formation of a flux rope can take weeks, but the moment when it is flung into the atmosphere can take just a matter of hours. Solar flares can damage satellites and have an enormous financial cost. Astronauts are not in immediate danger because of the relatively low orbit of this manned mission. They do have to be concerned about cumulative exposure during space walks. The charged particles can also threaten airlines by disturbing the Earth's magnetic field. Very large flares can even create currents within electricity grids and knock out energy supplies. A positive aspect, from an aesthetic point of view, is that the auroras are enhanced. Geomagnetic storms are more disruptive now than in the past because of our greater dependence on technical systems that can be affected by electric currents. In the video, twisting groups of magnetic fields writhe around a central axis, and the rope ultimately causes a bright flash - a solar flare - to form, shown here . Dr Wang and his colleagues made the findings using the 5.2ft (1.6 metres) New Solar Telescope at the Big Bear Solar Observatory in California. They describe an S-shaped bundle of magnetic fields, from which a set of loops peel off and grow upward into a multi-stranded flux rope in just two minutes. Two flare ribbons also appear at the point where the rope joins the solar atmosphere. It is hoped the study, which shows a flux rope in unprecedented detail, could help increase understanding on how they form - and how they are related to solar eruptions. \u2018In the large scale, magnetic flux ropes are found in the interplanetary magnetic clouds, which may interact with Earth\u2019s magnetic field to generate geomagnetic storms,\u2019 the researchers wrote in their paper.

The condition is caused by a chromosomal defect. Children with Apert have bulging eyes that are usually wide-set and tilted down at the sides. They may also have problems with tooth alignment due to jaw development problems, suffer from a cleft palate, and may have webbed fingers and toes.

Well done Celtic, your extreme arrogance managed to spoil the highlight of an honest pro's career. You should be ashamed of themselves. Celtic think they are so gigantic they have a divine right to get to the final. Apparently only they can make themselves the victims of bad decisions from officials. Celtic are like the brat of a child, over-indulged by parents, and scoffing too many sweets and not sharing any with the other kids because of some superiority complex which isn't backed up by what's actually going on. And the mismanagement of the Scottish game has left it imbalanced and unattractive. Whichever way you look at it, Scottish football, like an unsafe, stinking high rise on the wrong side of Glasgow, needs wiping out and starting again. Firstly, Celtic need bringing down a peg or two.

He said it would be a 'messy' way to run the country, and risked instability with the future of the government put in peril with every late night vote. Scroll down for video . Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, who hopes to hold the balance of power after May 7, said the idea of more than two parties forming a government is not 'going to work'. Mr Clegg told voters to go to the ballot box on May 7 expecting a hung parliament, with no one party able to secure an overall majority of MPs in the Commons. However, he sought to make the case for only the Lib Dems working with Labour or the Conservatives, without having to rely on MPs from other smaller parties. Recent polls have put the Tories and Labour almost neck and neck, with seat projections suggesting a two-party coalition might struggle to secure a majority. A forecast from pollster YouGov suggested the likely result on May 7 is a badly hung Parliament. It predicted the Conservatives would end up on 297 seats, only slightly down on 2010, Labour 262, the SNP 35, Liberal Democrats 30, losing almost half of their MPs, Ukip four and the Greens one. A second Conservative-Lib Dem coalition would only be able to command a Commons majority of four, making it difficult to form a stable government. Experts have warned a badly hung parliament could send financial markets into a tailspin and the pound and shares crashing. Sterling has already fallen nearly five per cent against the US dollar in the past five weeks amid jitters about the outcome of the general election. If neither major party is able to form a stable government, it could send the pound plummeting by a further ten per cent. After the 2010 election, Labour PM Gordon Brown tried to pull together a 'rainbow coalition' of several smaller parties but it failed and the Lib Dems entered a power-sharing deal with the Tories.

London Ambulance Service has been the hardest hit by this exodus. Currently 340 posts are vacant, a fifth of the total workforce needed. Last year alone more than 230 paramedics quit. However, Australia has a surplus.Other understaffed ambulance services in the UK are also going abroad, including to Poland. As well as the 225 paramedics hired from Australia last month, London Ambulance Service hired 175 from there and New Zealand in September. Managers are considering flying out again later this year and calculate that the first recruitment drive saved the NHS \u00a39million. It costs \u00a350,000 to train one paramedic in Britain. Each trip to Australia costs the ambulance service \u00a390,000 in flights and hotel bills, but they return having hired on average 200 paramedics. They are offered a \u00a330,200 salary including London weighting. Jason Killens, director of operations at London Ambulance Service, said: \u2018It\u2019s not our long-term solution but is helping us fill a skills shortage", "summary": "Managers from the London Ambulance Service just filled 225 vacant posts .

But while they have been able to put a date on when life appeared, they are still far from knowing how it appeared. Now researchers in the US and Italy say they have evidence that DNA-like fragments may have come with 'instructions' that guided their growth into complex life forms 4 billion years ago. Scroll down for video . Scientists believe life on Earth began evolving around 3.8 billion years ago, but they are still far from knowing how it appeared. Now researchers in the US and Italy say they have evidence that DNA-like fragments may have come with 'instructions' that guided their growth into complex life forms 4 billion years ago . RNA, which stands for ribonucleic acid, is a molecule made up of one or more nucleotides. It is one of three major biological molecules that are essential for all known forms of life, along with DNA and proteins. The main job of RNA is to transfer the genetic code to create proteins from the nucleus to the ribosome. This prevents the DNA from having to leave the nucleus, and protects it from damage. It also acts as an on-and-off switch for some genes. The researchers believe these fragments used their innate self-evolving abilities to grow into repeated chemical chains long enough to evolve into primitive life. The study, by the University of Milan and University of Colorado Boulder, is based on a discovery in the 1980s that RNA can chemically alter its own structure. RNA is similar to DNA, and carries out a number of jobs in our cells, including acting as an on-and-off switch for some genes. Scientists believe that when life was in its early stages, RNA played a leading role in creating complex organisms before DNA and proteins were developed. Many origin-of-life researchers say that RNA chains are too specialised to have been created as a product of random chemical reactions. The new study, however, claims to provide an alternative theory by arguing primordial DNA-like fragments evolved in this way instead. The researchers found the self-assembly of DNA fragments just a few nanometres in length have the ability to drive the formation of chemical bonds. These connect together short DNA chains to form long ones, without the need for a separate biological process.

Prior to the international break the Reds' 13-match unbeaten league run was ended at home to Champions League-chasing rivals Manchester United, leaving them five points adrift of the qualification places. Defeat at third-placed Arsenal would be a huge blow to their aspirations of returning to Europe's elite for a second successive season.

Rodgers knows they must avoid a repeat of the disappointing first-half display against United which led to their defeat.

'Over the course of the last three months, apart from the last game, we've performed very well and we have got results. 'I think people might look at it (the trip to Arsenal) as a must-win game.

'These final eight games are going to be exciting games and there is still every possibility for us to make the top four.' Many see the two sides as being similar in their approach to how they play, particularly in relation to how they like to keep the ball. That was a feature missing in the United game and it cost them dearly and Rodgers has spent a fortnight over the international break assessing where it went wrong after enjoying so much success in the previous three months. 'Our possession wasn't good enough in our last game,' he added. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is suspended having been sent off against Manchester United . 'The key for us in the first-half against Manchester United was that we didn't keep the ball well enough and, positionally, we were never in position to receive the ball and press the ball. 'We've talked about that, we've analysed that and we've worked on that; in order for us to maximise how we've been working we need to keep the ball better and be technically better.

Scroll down for video . Entry to the site will be moved to a visitor and orientation centre and there will be three routes through the site . And now a new master plan, to be implemented between 2015 and 2019, has been revealed, calling for the re-conceptualisation' of Machu Picchu. According to the Andean Air Mail and Peruvian Times, the idea is to change the 'axis of the visitor experience' making the mountain into a part of the tourist experience as well as the Inca city itself, with the hopes that this can control crowd flow - the project is set to cost around \u00a328.5million. Entry to the site will be moved to a visitor and orientation centre in the jungle below, and there will be three different routes through the site. A staff of certified guides and guards will be employed, and security cameras installed. Certified guides and guards will be employed, and security cameras installed as part of the grand plan . Also, time limits will be imposed to keep traffic flowing. An online document outlining the plan states: 'Groups of 100 visitors will leave approximately every 10 minutes (from the visitor\u2019s centre) toward any of the possible options, easing up the congestion on the heritage space with the aid of interpretive signs and a more efficient action by the guides.' So if groups of 100 are dispatched every ten minutes, the site would receive around 6,000 visitors per day, which works out as over two million a year. Plans have also been agreed for an exit ramp, as well as onsite toilets. Since 2011, the number of average daily number of visitors has far exceeded the daily limit of 2,500 agreed to by Peru and UNESCO . In 2008, UNESCO, the Ministry of Culture and the Peruvian Government agreed that no more than 2,500 people should visit the site per day. Due to a lack of emergency management, limited road access from Santa Maria and Santa Teresa and poorly managed waste facilities, increasing numbers of tourists would be potentially very dangerous. The new master plan aims to tackle all of those issues, but it could be argued that the sacred Inca city might never be the same again. Journey Latin America's Peru expert, Isabelle Mazille, told Mail Online Travel: 'Machu Picchu is not a museum, but an experience \u2013 and people go time and time again to visit certain areas.

+{"article": "Scientists at a Polish company that produce body armour systems are working to put a 'magic liquid' that can harden on impact in their products. The liquid is called Shear-Thickening Fluid (STF), and instantly hardens upon impact at any temperature. In a 'liquid armour' this provides protection from penetration by high-speed projectiles and additionally dispersing energy over a larger area. Scroll down for video of the body armour in action . The new material in its liquid form (left) and the solid form it take on impact (right) The liquid is called Shear-Thickening Fluid (STF), and does not conform to the model of Newtonian liquids, such as water, in which the force required to move the fluid faster must increase exponentially, and its resistance to flow changes according to temperature. Instead STF hardens upon impact at any temperature, providing protection from penetration by high-speed projectiles and additionally dispersing energy over a larger area. 'This viscosity increases thanks to the subordination of the particles in the liquid structure, therefore they form a barrier against an external penetrating factor,' said Karolina Olszewska, who performed tests on the STF for Moratex. The exact composition of the STF is known only to Moratex and its inventors at the Military Institute of Armament Technology in Warsaw, but ballistic tests proved its resistance to a wide range of projectiles. 'We needed to find, design a liquid that functions both with projectiles hitting at the velocity of 450 meters per second and higher. 'We have succeeded,' said Deputy Director for Research at the Moratex institute, Marcin Struszczyk. Struszczyk said the liquid's stopping capability, combined with the lower indentation of its surface, provides a higher safety level for the user compared with traditional, mostly Kevlar-based, solutions. 'If a protective vest is fitted to the body, then a four centimeter deep deflection may cause injury to the sternum, sternum fracture, myocardial infarction, lethal damage to the spleen,' Struszczyk said. 'Thanks to the properties of the liquid, thanks to the proper formation of the insert, we eliminate one hundred percent of this threat because we have reduced the deflection from four centimeters to one centimeter.' The liquid has been used to create lightweight flexible sheets, which can be placed inside the body armour . When hit by a high-speed projectile, a wide area of the STF hardens instantly, causing the usually massive energy to be dispersed away from the wearer's internal organs. Implementing the solution in body armor required designing special inserts, but the company says those are lighter than standard ballistic inserts and broader range of movement for their users in the police and military. 'The point is for them not to interfere, not change the way of movement, operation of such the product by the user, and at the same time increase their motor skills, increase effectiveness of their decision process and increase their possibilities during the mission at hand,' Struszczyk said.

Tianwen said he immediately felt an emotional connection with the child: 'This baby girl was in a cardboard box. She was so tiny and skinny.

The older brother of comedienne Mindy Kaling has controversially claimed he was only accepted into medical school in the late 1990s because he posed as a black man. Writing on his blog, Almost Black, Vijay Chokal-Ingam says that he felt he had to change his appearance to get into the St. Louis University School of Medicine and heavily attacks affirmative action policies in the United States. 'I was determined to become a doctor and I knew that admission standards for certain minorities under affirmative action were, let's say\u2026 less stringent?' wrote Chokal-Ingam. 'I got into medical school because I said I was black. The funny thing is I'm not.' Chokal-Ingam admits that his sister did not support him during his social experiment and specifically asked him not to do it. He claims in 1998 he shaved his head, trimmed his 'long Indian eyelashes' and joined the Organization of Black Students during the process. His change in appearance was 'so startling that my own fraternity brothers didn't recognize me'. 'Vijay the Indian-American frat boy became Jojo the African American Affirmative Action applicant to medical school,' he said, claiming that Jojo was the middle name he was born with. Though his website, AlmostBlack.com, shows side-by-side qualifications and pictures of Chokal-Ingam as an Indian-American man (left) and a black man (right), he doesn't specify if he went through the same application process as an Inidan-American man as he did a black man . As an Indian-American with a GPA of 3.1, MCAT of 31 and a member of the South Asian Student Association, he didn't think he'd get into medical school, but with a change of appearance and switch of student organization, he thought he could get in to some of the top schools in the nation. 'I became a serious contender at some of the greatest medical schools in America, including Harvard, Wash U, UPenn, Case Western, and Columbia,' he said about the application process. 'In all, I interviewed at eleven prestigious medical schools in 9 major cities across America, while posing a black man,' he added. Despite his startling claims, Chokal-Ingam fails to mention if he applied to the same schools at the same time as an Indian-American man. He also does not seem to appear repentant about presumably taking a place at college that would otherwise have gone to an African-American. When he was finally accepted to St. Louis University School of Medicine, he used the acceptance to claim he was only granted admission because he was black and used the situation as an example of what was 'wrong' with affirmative action.

Studies that surveyed personnel found 'major misconceptions' within special operations about whether women should be brought into the male-only jobs. They also revealed concerns that department leaders would 'capitulate to political pressure, allowing erosion of training standards,' according to one document. Up to the mark? Surveys find that men in U.S. special operations forces do not think women can meet the physical and mental demands of their commando jobs . Second best: Male special op combat troops fear the Pentagon will lower standards to integrate women into their elite units . Some of those concerns were not limited to men, researchers found, but also were found among women in special operations jobs. Dan Bland, force management director for U.S. Special Operations Command, told the AP that the survey results have 'already driven us to do some different things in terms of educating the force.' About 68,800 people serve in the command, including 3,000 civilians. The main survey went to about 18,000 people who are in positions closed to women, and the response was about 50 percent. The high response rate, officials said, reflects the wide interest in the subject. The studies are part of the Pentagon's effort to open all military combat positions to women or provide reasons why any jobs should remain closed. One survey, by RAND Corp., reflected doubts that women could meet the overall job demands, found concerns that sexual harassment or assault could increase, and cited worries about 'unequal treatment' of special operations candidates and personnel. Some worried that if women were let in to some jobs, they might be treated more harshly. Survey details have not been released. This was the first time that officials from Special Operations Command publicly discussed the results. Changing times: In the past the military acknowledged that women will not be able to fill every combat role . Andy Hamilton, who works with Bland and has expertise on this issue, noted that women in special operations jobs had concerns, too, about the broader integration. 'They're concerned that this might result in the lowering of the standards in what are currently our male-only occupations, and that would then reflect on either them or on the women who come into those occupations,' said Hamilton. Pentagon leaders lifted the ban on women in combat jobs in 2012, but gave the military services time to integrate women gradually and systematically into the male-only front-line positions. By January 2016, the military must open all combat jobs to women or explain why any exceptions must be made.

+{"article": "A giant supervoid 1.8 billion light-years across may be responsible for a mysterious \u2018Cold Spot\u2019 in the universe. The theory was proposed by astronomers seeking to understand what is causing this larger-than-expected cold area. If confirmed, the supervoid would be the largest single structure ever found by humanity. Hawaii scientists say a supervoid may account for an anomaly in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) of the universe, shown bottom right. In 2004 astronomers first found the 'Cold Spot' - a region 20 per cent less dense than elsewhere - and may now have an explanation for its formation . The research, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, was carried out by the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The Cold Spot was first discovered by astronomers in 2004 when they were examining a map of the radiation left over from the Big Bang - the cosmic microwave background (CMB) - made using Esa's Planck telescope. In the map, the universe is fairly evenly distributed, apart from in this one area. The huge unexpected region contains about 20 per cent less matter than other regions of the universe and about 10,000 less galaxies. While other sparse regions have been discovered, nothing on this scale has been found before. \u2018Statistically, we are very confident that the supervoid is there,\u2019 Dr Andr\u00e1s Kov\u00e1cs, who was involved in the study, told MailOnline. He said that the supervoid appears to be \u2018roughly spherical\u2019, and it may even contain a \u2018significant substructure\u2019 at its centre; a void within a void. A supervoid is not empty, but rather a region of space that has less matter than other parts of the universe. For this reason it can \u2018sap\u2019 the energy of light that is passing through it. To explain how that works, imagine the void to be a hill. As light enters the void and travels towards its middle, it can be said to be climbing the hill, using up energy. Once it passes the centre, it would begin \u2018descending\u2019 the hill and regain the energy it expended to get there. But as the universe is expanding, by the time the light gets to the centre, its route out has become \u2018shallower\u2019 - or less dense. This means it cannot regain as much energy as it lost initially and leaves the void with less energy, therefore a longer wavelength, which corresponds to a colder temperature. The different is marginal - typically about 70 nano-Kelvins - but it is enough to stand out when the entire cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) of the universe is measured. The supervoid is thought to be causing a 'less-dense' region of the universe (illustration of empty space shown). At 1.8 billion light-years across it would be the biggest object ever found. But some 'exotic physics' is also needed to explain what's happening .

The 22-year-old winger showed good opportunism and no little speed on two occasions to pluck passes out of the air and race over 90 metres to add to his early opener. The hat-trick puts him out in front as Super League's most prolific finisher in 2015. Tom Lineham scored two interception tries in an eye-catching hat-trick as Hull FC beat Widnes 22-8 . Jamie Shaul went over late on to make sure of the two competition points for Hull, with tries from Kevin Brown and Patrick Ah Van unable to prevent Widnes from falling to a fifth away defeat out of five. It was a third match in nine days for both sides, although Widnes had reason to feel more hard done by after their Easter Monday trip to Catalans. Ah Van had an early opportunity to give the Vikings an extra spring in their step but a foot in touch saw his effort ruled out, although Rhys Hanbury's pass was forward in any case. There was no doubt when Lineham slid over in the corner at the other end after Shaul had spun out of a tackle and found his winger with a nice cut-out pass. The Vikings were defending doggedly near their own line to prevent a second Hull try when Stefan Marsh and Chris Dean were both forced off following a sickening clash of heads. Lineham had a good chance to lay the platform for another Hull raid following a break down the right but his pass was intercepted by former Black and Whites hooker Aaron Heremaia.

+{"article": "A family has been awarded $150 million by a jury after a four-year-old boy was killed when Jeep Grand Cherokee exploded into flames three years ago. Jurors in Decatur County, Georgia ruled on Thursday that the SUV manufacturer, Chrysler, acted with reckless disregard for human life in selling the family of Remington 'Remi' Walden a 1999 Jeep with a gas tank mounted behind the rear axle. Walden, of Bainbridge, Georgia, was killed when the Jeep driven by his aunt was hit from behind by a pickup truck in March 2012. Remington 'Remi' Walden, four, was killed three years ago when his family's Jeep Grand Cherokee exploded when it was rear-ended . This March 6, 2012 photo shows the scene of a crash in Bainbridge, Georgia, where four-year-old Remi Walden was burned and died when a Jeep Grand Cherokee was struck from the rear by a Dodge Dakota pickup truck . The fuel tank leaked, engulfing the Jeep in flames and killing the four-year-old. The verdict came nearly two years after Chrysler compromised with a federal safety agency and agreed to a scaled-down recall of some older-model Jeeps with the rear-mounted tanks. The tanks have little structure to protect them if struck from behind, making them susceptible to punctures and fires. Federal documents show that at least 75 people have died in post-crash fires because of the rear-mounted fuel tanks. The jury of 11 women and one man, ruled after a nine-day trial that Chrysler was 99 per cent at fault for the crash and the pickup driver was 1 per cent at fault. Jurors also determined that Chrysler failed to warn the family of the hazards of driving the Jeep. They ruled that the Waldens should get $30 million for Remi's pain and suffering and $120 million for the full value of his life, according to a verdict form. Mike Palese, spokesman for Chrysler parent company FCA US, said the company is disappointed with the verdict and would appeal. Chrysler, he said, was prevented from presenting data submitted to federal safety regulators showing that the vehicles did not pose an unreasonable safety risk. 'The vehicles are not defective,' Palese said. Although the verdict is large, it isn't the largest judgment ever against an automaker in a personal injury case. In 1999, for example, a California jury ordered General Motors Co. to pay $4.9 billion to Patricia Anderson and Jo Tigner after their Chevrolet Malibu was rear-ended and burst into flames. In that case, four children in the back seat were severely injured. The family of a four-year-old boy who was killed when a Jeep Grand Cherokee (pictured) exploded in 2012 has been awarded $150 million by a jury in Georgia . The amount was reduced on appeal to $1.2 billion. And in 2004, a woman paralyzed when her Ford Explorer rolled over won a $369 million verdict from Ford Motor Co. That was later reduced to $83 million, which Ford eventually paid after exhausting its appeals all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

+{"article": "At the helm of the NYPD from 1934-45 was Lewis Valentine (pictured), a stalwart of the force for more than 30 years who had a reputation for brutality . Today they are everyday heroes, New York's finest, but the New York Police Department has had a more chequered past than most would imagine. Bernard Whalen's new book 'The NYPD's First Fifty Years' is a tale of kickbacks, mob violence and secret KKK members. Whalen charts the early rise of the world renowned police department from it beginnings in 1898 when the New York area's 18 independent police forces merged into one. A variety of men led the force through its formative years, 21 in total. Some were forward looking, some were practical but more than a fair share were scoundrels, larcenists or at the very least guilty of dereliction of duty. The department's first chief of police, William Devery, who held the post from 1898-1901, was known as the king of kickbacks. A former bar tender, Devery had to give a backhander just to get into the force, and was never shy about trading dollars for ranks, the New York Post reported. Police officers of the time had to pay exorbitant fees, more than year's starting salary to become a captain, but for Devery the under the table payments could easily be recovered through other means. In his early career, when taking command of a lower East Side Police Precinct, Devery was recorded as saying that there was a great deal of 'grafting' going on among his subordinates and that he would put a stop to it so he could line his own pockets. On the back of bribes paid to him Devery was able to buy a baseball team, the New York Highlanders, a forerunner to the New York Yankees, which he eventually sold for $300,000 in 1915. Theodore Bingham who held Devery's former post from 1906 to 1909 had his own unique set of character traits and is described in 'The NYPD's First Fifty Years' as being pathologically blunt. A former Brigadier General, Bingham lost his leg in an Army engineering accident in Buffalo. He worked throughout his career to remove special civil service protections on police inspectors who he could not promote or demote. When he won his battle to fire the people he wanted he turned his attention to NYPD captains who had the same status. He was recorded as saying 'I wish that about 40 police captains would die overnight. They are no good.' Bingham's tendency for indiscretion landed him in hot water again when he let slip the whereabouts one of his top lieutenants who had become famous for tracking down the mob. The police chief decided to tell reporters that his star lieutenant was on a secret mission in Italy tracking down the criminal backgrounds of Mafioso, Black Hand members. The officer was later found, shot dead outside a Palermo caf\u00e9.

'Risk': Under EU regulations, organic farmers must first use 'substances from plants, animals or minerals in a homeopathic dilution' to treat ill fish, which has been criticised by British and Norwegian vets (stock image) The directives, outlined in the 2009 European regulation on organic aquaculture, are set to be brought into national law in non-EU Norway, which has caused vets to see red. Section 7 of the regulations calls for organic farmers to use 'substances from plants, animals or minerals in a homoeopathic dilution', as their first port of call when their fish are ill . After this, the 'veterinary treatments' section outlines that farmers may use 'plants and their extracts not having anaesthetic effects'. As well as the directive to use homeopathic treatments, organic fish farmers are only allowed to resort to mainstream medical treatments a maximum of twice per year, or their fish will lose its organic certification. This has been criticised by the Norwegian Veterinary Association (NVA) as could mean that fish are not getting the correct treatment in time, causing them unnecessary suffering. Danger: British and Norwegian vets have called the EU directives on organic fish treatment 'scientifically illiterate', saying that the use of homeopathy could lead to 'serious animal health and welfare detriment' 'We think it's totally unacceptable from a scientific point of view because there's no scientific basis for using homeopathy,' Ellef Blakstad, the head of the Norwegian Veterinary Association, told The Local.no.

'If homeopathic remedies are used without proven effectiveness on farmed fish across the EU, including the UK, the consequence could be serious animal health and welfare detriment, which would be counterproductive to both animal health and to the farmed fish industry in the UK.'

+{"article": "A vaccine has been developed to help prevent the recurrence of prostate cancer (cells pictured) A vaccine has been developed to help prevent the recurrence of prostate cancer, and potentially other cancers. It's designed to teach the immune system to recognise compounds found in prostate cancer cells and is being given to men who have already been treated for the cancer. The vaccine is made from pieces of a protein called TARP that's found in about 95 per cent of prostate cancers. Animal studies have shown that the protein can effectively stimulate the immune system to attack the cancer. The thinking is that the vaccine will prime the immune system so that it creates antibodies when it detects TARP-related cancers. Then, should the cancer reappear, the antibodies will be dispatched to attack the malignant cells. Those antibodies, along with other immune cells, can then destroy cancer cells without harming non-cancer cells, so minimising side-effects. It is initially being tested as a way to treat cancer that has returned but, if successful, could be used as a first line treatment for prostate and potentially breast cancer in the future. TARP is also found in about 50 per cent of breast cancers. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year. In many cases the cancer develops slowly and patients may simply be monitored rather than actively treated. But in cases where the cancer is more aggressive, even after treatment there is a high risk of recurrence. Researchers at the U.S. National Cancer Institute are using the vaccine on 70 men who have been treated for the cancer, but whose PSA is rising again (posed by model) Once they have been treated, men are monitored with regular blood tests that check for a protein called prostate specific antigen or PSA, which can indicate cancer. The time it takes for the PSA reading to double is called the PSADT. Men with a PSADT of less than three months are at high risk of dying from prostate cancer. Around 11,000 men in the UK die from the disease a year. Researchers at the U.S. National Cancer Institute are using the vaccine on 70 men who have been treated for the cancer, but whose PSA is rising again.

Authorities have also started cracking down on the owners of wild creatures following an incident in 2011 where a man in eastern Ohio released 56 exotic animals - including lions and tigers - then killed himself. Apparently Hetrick has been heartbroken by the clampdown on his farm and the 72-year-old widower is now fighting to overturn the seizure, backed by neighbors who insist his menagerie doesn't pose a threat. Scroll down for video . Feeling lost: Kenny Hetrick is campaigning for his tigers, leopards and bears to be returned after they were seized by the state in January . They have organized car washes and handed him envelopes stuffed with thousands of dollars to pay legal bills. Some spent the winter shoring up his cages with taller fences and netting, hoping the animals will return. 'He's lost without them,' said Josh Large, who lives four houses away. 'A lot of us are lost without them.' Hetrick allowed anyone to visit at no charge, getting by with help from volunteers and donations of cash, as well as of deer and horse meat to feed his animals.

However, the 2011 incident mentioned earlier pushed Ohio to tighten regulations on 'private zoos'. Owners are now required to have sturdy cages, background checks and insurance before receiving an annual permit.

According to Boyle, Stack 'flipped me the bird' as soon as she spotted him at the event in Philadelphia.

The families of Britain\u2019s Iraq war dead expressed their disgust last night after learning the long-awaited official report into the conflict may be delayed yet again. Publication of Sir John Chilcot\u2019s inquiry, which began in 2009 and has cost the taxpayer almost \u00a310million, had already been pushed back until after the election. Yesterday it emerged it is unlikely to be published until next year at the earliest. Bereaved parents said they were disgusted that their suffering was being dragged out to give leading figures in the inquiry, like Tony Blair, the chance to rebut its findings. They added they were now expecting a whitewash when the report is finally published. Earlier this year it emerged the report, expected to criticise dozen of senior figures involved in the 2003 conflict, had been pushed back until after the election because it was too politically sensitive to publish so close to a national poll. But sources close to the investigation have now told BBC\u2019s Newsnight that \u2018nobody thinks it will come out this year\u2019. In comments that caused anger among military families, the sources suggested that \u2018once they had failed to meet the pre-election deadline, they gave up trying to speed things up\u2019. Further delays will fuel speculation that those criticised are trying to bury damning revelations. Last night Rose Gentle, whose son Gordon, 19, was killed in Iraq in 2004, told the Mail: \u2018I\u2019m actually disgusted. I now definitely do feel like I am being fobbed off. How long do we have to wait? It has been 11 years since Gordon died and they are dragging it out for all the families.\u2019 Reg Keys, whose 20-year-old son Tom died in 2003, said: \u2018We were told from Sir John that it would be a robust and thorough inquiry and we would get the answers we were looking for. This Chilcot inquiry is like an open wound and we need those answers. To have to wait until 2016 for them is just ridiculous.\u2019 Mr Keys, 62, added he thought the final report would likely be \u2018watered down\u2019. Liberal Democrats foreign affairs spokesman Tim Farron said speculation about a delay was \u2018deeply concerning\u2019. He added: \u2018Hundreds of thousands of families have had their lives torn apart by the Iraq War and deserve answers. It is simply not good enough for this process to be continually delayed and the report must be published.\u2019 The findings have been held up by the process of \u2018Maxwellisation\u2019 \u2013 giving individuals in the report a chance to respond.

He was very impressive against Italy in a friendly, true; and he has been an important influence on Manchester United\u2019s revival. Yet it would be unfortunate in the extreme if four consecutive England managers had all failed to spot a game-changing wizard in their midst. Here\u2019s the reality. Carrick has made nine competitive starts for England, and the majority have been ordinary at best. He played in the match against Ecuador in the 2006 World Cup, in which England were saved by a David Beckham free-kick, and was then dropped and replaced by the more energetic Owen Hargreaves for the quarter-final with Portugal. Michael Carrick played against Ecuador at the 2006 World Cup but was dropped for the quarter-final . England have won just four competitive matches when Carrick started, including against Poland . Carrick (left) played in the 2-0 defeat by Croatia which went a long way to England missing out on Euro 2008 . Under Steve McClaren he started in the disastrous double header of a 0-0 home draw with Macedonia followed by a 2-0 defeat in Croatia \u2014 the results that effectively cost England\u2019s place at the 2008 European Championship. He was also part of unconvincing performances in Poland and, particularly, Montenegro under Roy Hodgson. England have won four competitive games in which Carrick has started \u2014 against Ecuador, and then San Marino, Poland and Lithuania, all at home. Ecuador were feisty opponents and Carrick struggled to match their intensity; the same in the second half in Montenegro, when England were overwhelmed and fortunate not to lose. The home draw with Macedonia \u2014 more than either defeat to Croatia \u2014 was the worst result of McClaren\u2019s reign. Carrick was hailed after an impressive performance for England in their friendly draw with Italy last week . Carrick has also been impressive in Manchester United's midfield under Louis van Gaal this season . So the idea that England managers are fools for consistently preferring Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard is misguided. Carrick had chances throughout his career, and little changed. Equally, in less than one year, between May 30, 2009, and May 9, 2010, Lampard scored more goals for club and country than Carrick has in his entire career. Gerrard took slightly longer \u2014 outscoring Carrick in entirety between October 24, 2007 and December 13, 2008. And it wasn\u2019t as if Lampard and Gerrard couldn\u2019t pass or put a tackle in, too. Maybe Carrick has improved with age. Maybe he is the best around right now. He certainly deserves to be judged on his current performances, not his past. Just don\u2019t think that there isn\u2019t a reason why his international career underwhelms. They\u2019re not all idiots, these England managers.", "summary": "Michael Carrick impressed during England's draw with Italy last week .

I'm here to try the wackiest face treatment to hit the beauty scene: the tuning fork facial.

Tuned in: Marianne is given the tuning fork treatment . When they are placed on specific parts of the face - the neck, the jowls, forehead and around the eyes - vibrations are said to tighten sagging skin, eradicate dark circles, lessen the appearance of wrinkles and stimulate collagen.

Advocates claim the 'sound waves of the forks vibrate and travel deeply into the body along energy pathways, affecting human physiology and reaching places not easily accessed'.

If this flow is interrupted, it can cause ill health and affect our appearance, causing premature ageing, dry skin and eye bags.

A team of researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee explored how best to minimise the risk of infection after surgery. They note that despite hand washing and other protocols, surgical-site infections continue to pose a problem. Children's toys could act as a reservoir for bacteria and bring germs into hospitals, scientists at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, have warned . The researchers concluded this implied one of two scenarios. Firstly, that current infection prevention methods are not effective. And secondly that there are alternative sources of bacterial exposure to the surgical wound. Their study revealed that soft toys brought into the operating theatre by children served as a breeding ground for bacteria. They urged parents to be aware of the dangers comfort items could pose, and take steps to eradicate the risk. Dr Jonathan Schoenecker and his team aimed to investigate if cuddly toys contribute to surgical-site infections. They swabbed stuffed animals that were brought into hospital by children ahead of surgery. The findings revealed that all those soft toys swabbed showed bacterial growth. In addition, the researchers demonstrated that a single wash and dry cycle at home, followed by sealing the toy in a plastic bag for 24 hours, effectively 'sterilised' 79 per cent of those soft toys tested. Researchers urged parents to wash and sterilise their child's toys before bringing them into the operating theatre, to help minimise the risk of their child suffering a surgical-site infection . The study report states: 'These results indicate that items of comfort, such as stuffed animals, brought into the operating room with a benevolent purpose may represent a reservoir of bacteria that could lead to unwanted surgical-site infections. 'Washing an item of comfort one day before surgery effectively sterilises that item.' The researchers note that future studies will be needed to determine the correlation between stuffed animals that test positive for bacteria and surgical-site infections. Another area to look at is whether giving a child a 'sterile' soft toy reduces the risk of surgical-site infections.", "summary": "Scientists at Vanderbilt University explored how to reduce infection risk .

The Prime Minister said seven key Tory policies would help get people on to the property ladder by building more homes and cutting the cost of saving for a deposit, moving house and paying off mortgages. The Tory leader, wearing notably clean new work boots, as he chatted to house builders, insisted 'dream of home ownership is alive'. Mr Cameron used the launch of the Conservative party manifesto yesterday to promise voters 'security at every stage of your life'. He said the 'greatest sunshine that there can possibly be' included helping more people but their own home, as well as getting a job and having dignity in retirement. Today the Tory leader set out a seven point plan which he claims will help build more houses and making it easier for first-time buyers, claiming it will help a million people become homeowners over the next parliament. Mr Cameron said: 'The Conservative Party is the party of working people, offering you security at every stage of your lives. 'At the heart of that is helping people onto the housing ladder.

It's the most popular board game in the world, with hundreds of versions springing up in far-flung cities across the globe. But Monopoly-makers planning a special Exeter edition have been told there is nowhere low-rent enough to fill the space of Old Kent Road. Thousands of voters have suggested landmarks across the city in Devon to fill the more expensive slots, which are taken up on the London version by the likes of Mayfair and Park Lane. But no one has come forward with ideas for which streets should fill the brown sections of the board, which cost $60 in Monopoly money. High-end game zones have been easily filled with locations like the city's Gothic cathedral, Exeter castle, the Guildhall and modern shopping centre. But Exeter has outdone all previous cities to get their own board - including Oxford, Cambridge and York - in the posh stakes, with no suggestions for the lower end. Game-makers say they have developed boards for cities across the country but have never come across the current dilemma.

Outgoing Yorkshire chairman Colin Graves, who starts work as Giles Clarke's successor next month, upped the stakes before the tour started by declaring the hosts 'mediocre' and promised 'some inquiries' if England did not win the series. The West Indies hung on for a draw on an unresponsive pitch in Antigua last week and the prospect of a similar deck in Grenada on Tuesday means fulfilling Graves' expectations could be a tough task. Ian Bell says he never expected England to win the series in the West Indies without a struggle . But Bell, after 106 Tests and 11 years on the international circuit, never expected anything different. 'We're not in control of those comments (from Graves), but we know and respect this West Indies side incredibly,' said the 33-year-old. 'I certainly didn't turn up here expecting for them to roll over and this to be an easy series. You never expect that in any international cricket, let alone a Test team. 'I'm not surprised at all. I expected competition. 'There's some good young players in that West Indies side. We saw the way Jason Holder played at the end, in a fantastic maiden hundred, and the way Jerome Taylor bowled, in particular with the new ball, showed we have to play good cricket here. 'Do we believe we can win the series? Yes, but there's a lot of hard work needed to do that.' Bell may have said all the right things but Windies opener Devon Smith, who will become the first Grenadan to play Test cricket on the island, revealed that Graves' comments had not gone unnoticed. Bell scored a magnificent hundred in the first Test, but England failed to see out the win . 'They said in the press they would win three to love, that's the first one down and we're looking forward to the next two to come,' he said. 'It motivates me, and the whole team, to go out there and prove them wrong for whatever they said. 'Sometimes it's good to be underdogs. At least you have nothing to lose and something to prove. 'We have no pressure now. England have the pressure because they are looking for the victory.' There is no doubt that the home team were more content with a shared game at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium and two more draws would be seen as a move in the right direction under new coach Phil Simmons. That places the onus on England to move the matches forward, but Bell believes the West Indies are harbouring their own hopes of victory. 'They are out here to beat us.

The Welshman has received some criticism from sections of the Bernabeu support despite a bright start in Madrid, and these remarkable stats will do nothing to help his popularity at the club. The \u00a386million man has missed out on just eight starts in Real Madrid's 50 matches this term, but his team-mates have picked up a 100 per cent win record when he has been away, scoring 25 and conceding just one goal. Gareth Bale has not started eight of Real Madrid's matches this season, through injury and omission . His latest injury, suffered against Malaga, meant he missed Wednesday night's Champions League game . Bale's time on the sidelines has coincided with huge matches against Barcelona, two Champions League ties with Liverpool (in which he entered the fray as a 62nd-minute substitute at the Bernabeu), and Wednesday night's European quarter-final against Atletico... but it seems the rest of the Real squad are just fine without him. In the first half of the season, Bale suffered a buttock muscle injury while on international duty with Wales, and he missed La Liga matches against Levante (5-0 win), Barcelona (3-1 win), Granada (4-0 win) and a 3-0 Champions League victory against Liverpool. He was in contention for the return leg against Liverpool at the Bernabeu, but did not start the match, instead coming on as a second-half substitute. Real were 1-0 up when he came on, and the score remained the same until the final whistle. In December, Madrid were already leading 4-1 against third-tier side Cornella in their Copa del Rey tie heading into the second leg, and Carlo Ancelotti opted to rest some of his biggest names. Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, Sergio Ramos and Bale were all among the stars watching on from the sidelines as Los Blancos recorded a comfortable 5-0 win. That's six games without Bale in the starting line-up, and six wins for Real. Moving into 2015, Bale played a major role in the team's start to the year, scoring 12 goals between his return to the side against Celta Vigo and his omission against Eibar on April 11. Bale was sidelined for Real's 3-1 win over Barcelona, in which Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty . Karim Benzema scored in a 3-0 win against Liverpool at Anfield in October... Bale was injured for the game . Ancelotti stated in the build-up to the match that he had decided to rest the Welshman, while the team went on to win 3-0 against their struggling opposition. Bale again returned the side for two matches, a goalless draw against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and a win against Malaga in La Liga, but suffered a calf injury in the early stages of the latter domestic clash.

+{"article": "Left his post: Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl walked away from the army and was captured by the Taliban in June of 2009 . The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mike Mullen knew that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdhal deserted his post in 2009, claim three of the controversial soldier's comrades. The men say that Mullen, who served President Obama and then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates six years ago, was certain that Bergdahl had fled the army and was guilty of desertion. The claims mean that Mullen was in a position to tell the president his soldier had run away five years before National Security Adviser Susan Rice told the world that Bergdahl served honorably. It also casts a huge shadow over the deal to swap five Taliban commanders for Bergdahl that culminated in a Rose Garden ceremony hosted by Obama to celebrate his release and attended by his parents. 'I asked him (Mullen) if he knew about Bergdahl and that he deserted and he (Mullen) told me that he knew of the circumstances surrounding his walking off,' said former Sgt. Matt Vierkant told Fox, 'and that they were developing leads and following leads, trying to do everything they could to get him back.' This development comes one week after officials scheduled a July hearing for the Army sergeant who left his post in Afghanistan and was held by the Taliban for five years. Bergdahl says he walked away because of PTSD and is not a deserter. Vierkrant claims he and two other collegagues, Evan Buetow and Cody Full, were providing security for Mullen while he was on a trip to Afghanistan in December 2009 - six months after Bergdahl was captured. Vierkrant claims that during an unguarded question and answer session, Mullen said they could ask him anything. 'So Matt asked him, you know Bergdahl deserted, what's going on with that? And Admiral Mullen said, 'Yes, we know all the circumstances surrounding Bergdahl walking away from the OP (outpost,)and we're still working on getting him back, figuring out where he is and kind of figuring out that whole situation.' Scroll Down for Video . Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, allegedly told three comrades of Bergdahl that the soldier was a deserter . Specialist Cody Full confirmed that this is what Mullen said as did Buetow. 'I don't remember him being taken aback by it at all, you know, he knew what was going on, he answered not confidently but he didn't have to think about it, he didn't want to give us some political answer,' Buetow explained to Fox. 'He just gave us an answer.' According to former White House aides this means it is inconceivable that Mullen would not have told President Obama and raises questions as to the prisoner swap for a known deserter. 'If Mullen knew, and now it's alleged that he did know, it would be, it would be unthinkable that he didn't pump this up the chain of command, his chain of command, or, tell the president directly,' said", "summary": "Former Sgt.

+{"article": "'Floral perfumes can take years off a woman' Two things in life give me instant gratification: perfume and wine gums. But while one rots my teeth and piles on the pounds, the other - no matter how bad my hair day - makes me feel beautiful. I'm in good company. Cleopatra was known for her love of perfume, liberally applying lotus and rose oil to her upper lip. 'We know she made her own perfumes and would certainly have worn it to increase her powers of seduction,' says Mandy Aftel, perfume historian and author of Fragrant: The Secret Life Of Scent. 'She didn't solely rely on her looks. Cleopatra believed that smelling divine was the real key to a man's heart,' she says. And according to scientists, Cleopatra was right. Perfume really can make us more attractive. 'Humans are mammals and though we're highly evolved, we have inherited mating mechanisms from the animal kingdom. One of the factors that influences our partner choice is smell,' says Tim Jacob, emeritus professor at the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University. We react in an involuntary way to smell because our noses are connected to synapses in the unconscious part of the brain (the piriform cortex), which governs the subconscious mind. 'The power of the subconscious mind is extremely strong. If we like someone's smell, they become instantly more attractive to us, and vice versa,' says Roja Dove, master perfumer at Urban Retreat Perfumerie in Harrods. Small wonder, then, that perfumers spend vast amounts of time and money creating fragrances that evoke positive feelings of satisfaction and sensuality. And there are ingredients with a proven track record of evoking other strong subconscious reactions. Perfumers spend vast amounts of time and money creating fragrances that evoke positive feelings of satisfaction and sensuality . 'Vanilla, an ingredient in many perfumes, is a smell that's strongly associated with pleasure,' says Professor Jacob. 'Just think of confectionery and the feelings of happiness that go with traditional childhood treats.' Lavender, another common ingredient in perfume, has been shown to calm and soothe the mind, while citrus smells evoke images of health and cleanliness. So powerful is our unconscious reaction to smell that perfumers claim wearing certain scents will make a woman seem younger, more athletic or even slimmer than she actually is. So what are the perfect perfumes to make others think we're slim, sexy, sporty or sophisticated? Harrods' Roja Dove picks his favourites . . . FLIRT WITH FLORALS . Floral perfumes can take years off a woman, as long as the smell is subtle. However, if it's cloying or overpowering, the effect can be ageing. Anything that overwhelms our senses can begin to smell stale and musty, and these are scents that the unconscious mind associates with age. Vivacious yet subtle scents of peony, lily of the valley and orange blossom will evoke images of spring and youth. Perfumes such as Balenciaga's Florabotanica (\u00a356, Debenhams) or Love Story from Chloe (\u00a365, Debenhams) use floral notes that create an impression of youthful energy.

Chevrolet spokesman Michael Albano confirmed to Daily Mail Online that the standard issue Chevrolet Express Police Transport Van has bolts that are built into the door and don't stick out. Mr Albano said that law enforcement agencies are known to customise their own vehicles and that the Baltimore Police Department may have done so to their fleet. The development raises a number of questions about the official account put out by the force which emerged today in a report of its internal investigation into Gray's death. Scroll down for video . Standard-issue: Pictured above is the Chevrolet Express police van, the vehicle used by Baltimore Police to move around prisoners . No bolts?

Instead he supposedly broke his neck after falling head-first whilst being transported in one of the Baltimore Police vans, a Chevrolet Express.

The picture of the vehicle on the cargo specifications shows the two sets of bolts at the very top and very bottom of the door.

Stand up and take a bow anyone who came up with Benik Afobe, who was one of Arsenal\u2019s own before they loaned him to MK Dons and sold him to Wolves. Afobe is young, electric-paced and on 28 goals this season - one behind man-of-the-moment Harry Kane of Tottenham and England. Bakary Sako celebrates after scoring Wolves second goal in a 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest on Good Friday . Sako doubled Wolves' advantage from the penalty spot after he was fouled by Forest's Henri Lansbury . Nottingham Forest (4-1-4-1): Darlow 6.5; Mancienne 6.5, Wilson 6, Lascelles 6.5, Lichaj 7; Gardner 6; Burke 7 (Walker, 76), Lansbury 5.5, Osborn 5 (Paterson, 57, 6), Antonio 5.5 (Blackstock, 83); Akpom 6 .

What a bargain for \u00a32million, too. Having scored 19 times for MK, the 22-year-old striker has nine goals in 15 appearances for Kenny Jackett\u2019s Wanderers. He has a goalscoring knack, beautifully illustrated 30 seconds into the second half when he collected the ball round the centre circle and started running. Back-tracking Forest defenders held off and held off until, boom, Afobe took a pot-shot and Karl Darlow retrieved the ball which had just avoided his finger tips. Suddenly a tight, strangely underwhelming, match, had a breakthrough and Wolves duly capitalised on it as Bakary Sako doubled the lead from the penalty spot. They are building up a head of steam as the Skybet Championship enters the final weeks with one defeat in nine. Jackett has steered his team from the blind side with remarkable efficiency. A trip across to the East Midlands could have been a very tricky encounter considering Forest\u2019s resurgence under Dougie Freeman. The news that owner Fawaz al Hasawi wants Freedman to stay beyond the summer hardly comes as a surprise. More importantly, from the supporters\u2019 point of view, the manager is making all the right noises about triggering his year\u2019s option too. The Freedman effect is tangible at the City Ground, even if this turned out to be the first real blip.

Al Sharpton has denied that the family of police shooting victim Walter Scott have barred him from attending his funeral because it would cause a 'circus' of media attention. The controversial preacher and civil rights campaigner said a report that the family wanted him gone to avoid 'another Ferguson type of circus' is 'bogus'. He also announced that he would head to North Charleston, South Carolina, to preach and attend a vigil on Sunday, the day after the funeral. Allegations that Scott's family wanted nothing to do with Sharpton were published by the New York Daily News. In response, Sharpton said: 'There has never been a discussion about me attending or participating in the funeral on Saturday, since everyone knows that [National Action Network\u2019s] convention with thousands of delegates is happening in New York and doesn't end until Saturday night.' Anthony Scott, the victim's brother, said today that the National Action Network has been working with the family since Walter Scott was shot on Saturday April 4.

The 26-year-old England full-back is interesting his former club, where his brother Joel plays, and Wigan have an option to bring him back to the DW Stadium.

Asked where he would be playing next, Tomkins said: 'I've not worked that out just yet. The first thing was to sort it out over here that I could go back. 'Hopefully that'll be sorted in the not-too-distant future.'

Two millionaire people traffickers have been heard mocking the migrant boat disasters that have resulted in thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean, it has been reported.

Medhanie, 34, who is based in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, is said to have boasted: 'They say I put too many aboard, but they're the ones who want to leave in a hurry.' A second trafficker, Ermias Ghermay, who is thought to have made \u00a372million with Medhanie from smuggling in the last two years, also showed callous disregard for the plight of his 'customers'. He was heard declaring last summer: 'They organised another trip a few days ago. I don't know what happened \u2013 they probably died.'

Italian police yesterday released Ghermay's photofit as they sought to track down the pair, who are among several traffickers wanted in connection with a major human smuggling ring.

Police in Limington, Maine, had been responding to reports that an apparently drunk woman was walking in and out of traffic and laying in the road on Saturday afternoon. Rebecca Grant, 40, initially claimed that she had been kidnapped and abused, but when she refused to give the name of her captors, police checked her ID and found that she was out on bail. Once York County sheriff\u2019s deputies learned she had bail conditions not to possess or consume alcohol they went to arrest her, Sheriff William King said. However, at this point, she became violent, and attempted to head-butt a deputy sheriff before 'thrusting her head onto the trunk of his cruiser on two occasions,' Bangor Daily News reports. Once Grant, from Biddeford, had been subdued and placed in the police car, officers found white residue on her teeth. They then discovered a three-inch scratch mark in the paint of the trunk, concluding that she had, in fact, 'bitten' the patrol cruiser. Enroute to York County Jail, Grant bit the upholstery, tearing the material, causing $500 worth of damage. She also attempted to kick out the car window, Sheriff King said. In addition, the 40-year-old allegedly threatened to kill deputies and their families.

The six, whom authorities described as friends who met secretly to plan their travels, are accused of conspiracy to provide material support and attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. The complaint says the men planned to reach Syria by flying to nearby countries from Minneapolis, San Diego or New York City, and lied to federal investigators when they were stopped.

'These were focused men who were intent on joining a terrorist organization,' Minnesota U.S. Attorney Andy Luger said at a news conference Monday. The six were arrested Sunday in Minneapolis and San Diego and are scheduled to make initial appearances in federal court on Monday. They are the latest people from Minnesota to be charged in an investigation stretching back months into the recruitment of Westerners by IS. Authorities said earlier that a handful of Minnesota residents have traveled to Syria to fight with militants in the past year, and at least one has died. Three of those charged in the newest complaint - Mohamed Farah, Abdurahman and Musse - were stopped at a New York City airport in November along with 19-year-old Hamza Ahmed, but they were not charged until now. Ahmed was indicted on charges of lying to the FBI during a terrorism investigation, conspiring to provide material support to IS, and attempting to provide material support. He has pleaded not guilty. On Monday, the FBI announced the arrest of six Somali-American men from Minnesota, accused of trying to join ISIS.

The complaint relies in part on material from a confidential informant who had himself conspired to join IS before he changed his mind and went to authorities.

Chief executive Mike Coupe, 53, was convicted of embezzlement last September after former Sansbury's business partner Amr el-Nasharty accused him of trying to illegally seize cheques. Now a court has sentenced him to two years behind bars for the crime, which relates to Sainbury's joint venture with local supermarket chain Edge, owned by Mr el-Nasharty . Mike Coupe, chief executive of Sainsbury's, has been sentenced to two years in an Egyptian jail after a former business partner of the British supermarket claimed Mr Coupe tried to seize money from him . Mr Coupe is believed to have travelled to the Middle Eastern country last Sunday to appeal the conviction, which dates back to a time when he didn't work at the firm, but this was unsuccessful, reports The Times. In 1999, Sainsbury's, then under the stewardship of David Bremner, opened its first store in Cairo, hoping to capitalise on a growing Arabic middle class which was still largely reliant on corner shops for their groceries. Sainsbury's opened its first store in Egypt in Cario in 1999, hoping to capitalise on a growing middle class that were still largely reliant on corner shops for groceries. The company initially spent \u00a310million on 25 per cent share in local firm Edge, owned by businessman Amr el-Nasharty. Six months later they spent another \u00a340million buying an 80 per cent share, and by 2001 had built 100 stores, employing more than 2,500 staff. But, during a Palestinian uprising in the region, Sainbury's found itself added to a 'boycott list' of largely American companies accused of having ties with Israel. It was believed at the time that this could have been the result of shopkeepers fearing for their business who asked local Imams to preach against the chain. This lead to stores being attacked by rioters armed with bricks and bats. When Sainsbury's eventually withdrew from Egypt in 2001, losing \u00a3110million, the company blamed a 'deterioration of the trading environment', widely believed to be a reference to the fatwa. Over the course of three years, the company invested nearly \u00a3100million opening more than 100 stores across the country, employing 2,500 staff. Despite raking in sales of almost \u00a380million by 2001, the business made an overall loss of almost \u00a335million, due in part to being placed on a religious boycott list over alleged links with Israel. Sainsbury's quit Egypt later that year, losing almost \u00a3110million in the process, and selling the business back to Mr el-Nasharty. However, he then filed a suit against Sainsbury's, claiming they had sold him an insolvent business with large tax debts which he could not repay. Sainsbury's countered this claim, alleging that Mr el-Nasharty had paid for the business with cheques that later bounced. Mr el-Nasharty then went on to claim that Mr Coupe travelled to Egypt shortly after being appointed CEO last July and attempted to seize money from him, breaching Egypt's bankruptcy laws.", "summary": "Sainsbury's CEO Mike Coupe handed two year jail term by Egyptian court .

+{"article": "Kicking, punching and moving around during sleep might be an early sign of Parkinson's disease, a new review suggests. Moving around in sleep, and seeming to 'act out' dreams is a characteristic of a condition called rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). Researchers have discovered about half of people with RBD will develop Parkinson's disease or another neurological disorder within a decade of being diagnosed, LiveScience reports. People with rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) move around in their sleep and 'act out' their dreams. Up to 90 per cent of people with the condition will develop a neurological condition, a study found . Ultimately, 81 to 90 per cent of patients with RBG with develop a neurodegenerative disorder, they found. 'If you get this disorder and live long enough, you will almost certainly get Parkinson's disease or a condition similar to it \u2014 it's an early warning sign,' said Professor Michael Howell, of the University of Minnesota, and co-author of the study. People with RBD describe having vivid dreams, and they act them out theatrically while asleep. They can be fighting enemies, or fleeing danger, and actually act out these dreams in their beds. This can range from making small hand movements to thrashing around, punching, kicking and jumping out of bed. Sometimes, people with the condition can injure themselves or anyone sharing a bed with them. 'It's very important to make the bedroom environment [as] safe as possible' by removing objects that can be picked up or used as a weapon, such as guns, Professor Howell said. People with RBD move around during the rapid eye movement period of sleep, when most dreaming occurs but the body's muscles are usually paralysed by the brain stem. Those with the condition are believed to have a malfunction in their brain-stem which allows them to move around during REM sleep, and therefore act out their dreams. For most people, dreaming is purely a 'mental' activity: dreams occur in the mind while the body is at rest. But people who suffer from REM behavior disorder (RBD) act out their dreams. They physically move limbs or even get up and engage in activities associated with waking. Some engage in sleep talking, shouting, screaming, hittting or punching. Some even jump out of bed while sleeping. RBD is usually noticed when it causes danger to the sleeping person, their bed partner, or others they encounter. People with RBD move around during the rapid eye movement period of sleep, when most dreaming occurs but the body's muscles are usually paralysed by the brain stem. Those with the condition are believed to have a malfunction in their brain-stem which allows them to move around during REM sleep, and therefore act out their dreams. RBD is not curable, but it can be treated with high doses of the sleep aid or low doses of the anti-anxiety drug clonazepam. Source: National Sleep Foundation .

The repetition of the red attire was due to the fact that the vibrant colour captured particularly well in an autochrome process.

On their previous semi-final appearance, in 1927, they lost 3-0 to eventual winners Cardiff at Molineux. As Reading's cup displays have been impressive, though, their league form has been patchy. They had won only two of their previous nine Championship matches, losing six of them. Cardiff's season has been one of inconsistency, too, but they arrived at the Madejski Stadium on an unbeaten run of three matches. They were also undefeated on their travels for five games, winning their past three. Reading made the early running and were rewarded in only the fourth minute when they went ahead. Jordan Obita crossed from the left, McCleary nodded it forward and Pogrebnyak guided it past Marshall for his third goal in two matches. Cardiff, beaten 2-1 at home by Reading in the cup fourth round in January, replied quickly. McAleny tried a snapshot from the edge of the Reading area but his effort was half-blocked and goalkeeper Adam Federici gathered comfortably. Reading could have stretched their lead when captain Alex Pearce rose to meet a McCleary corner but fellow centre-back Michael Hector got there before him and glanced his header wide. Cardiff tried hard to get back into the game but had little joy. Fabio cut in from the left flank but his powerful strike was blocked by Pearce at the near post, and Peter Whittingham's dangerous free-kick was neatly caught by Federici. Pavel Pogrebnyak celebrates scoring for Reading against Cardiff . Reading continued to assert control after the break, with Chelsea loanee Nathan Ake impressing on his debut in midfield. Most of Reading's best creative moves were channelled through him. Cardiff relied on the swift counter-attack, with Joe Ralls almost setting free McAleny. But his final pass carried too much pace and, with McAleny unable to retrieve it, the chance went begging. An opportunity also went astray at the other end, when Bruno Ecuele-Manga's poor pass was intercepted by McCleary but the Reading winger hesitated too long before firing a shot wide of Marshall's far post.

There have been growing calls from Conservative MPs for Mr Johnson to be \u2018weaponised\u2019 as the party seeks to break away from Labour. High profile: Boris Johnson (pictured at a gin distillery in London on Friday) will move centre stage in the Conservative election campaign next week . While many polls indicate deadlock, one by Survation for the Daily Mirror lifted Tory spirits yesterday by putting their party up four points in a week and moving ahead of Labour.

Another added that the successes of the coalition government, including delivering real economic growth and jobs has become the 'background noise' of the campaign instead of its focus. But a Conservative spokesman insisted that the campaign's focus on the idea of the SNP in a coalition with Labour is doing well on the doorstep, according to the FT. Some argued the campaign's focus has been too narrow and that 'fear tactics' could backfire badly. 'The Scottish scaremongering plays into the SNP's hands,' said one chief.

In the aftermath of the Highlanders\u2019 3-2 extra-time win, the Englishman admitted he was fortunate not to have conceded a penalty and been sent off by referee Steven McLean for stopping Leigh Griffiths\u2019 net-bound effort on his goal-line. In an unprecedented move, the Inverness defender was subsequently cited by Tony McGlennan, the SFA Compliance Officer, for denying an opposing team an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball. Inverness defender Josh Meekings will be allowed to appear in Scottish Cup final after his ban was dismissed . Meekings was not sent off and no penalty was given as Inverness went on to beat Celtic 3-2 after extra-time .

But a three-man judicial panel dismissed the charge - leaving the player free to face Falkirk at Hampden on May 30. Meekings tweeted: \u2018Once again, would like to thank everybody for the messages and support given over the last few days.

Speaking before the verdict was announced, he said: \u2018It\u2019s taken the shine off our victory. So much so that I\u2019m even looking at myself. \u2018If this is what goes on in Scottish football, I don\u2019t know if I want to be a part of it.

Palaeontologists in China say the impeccably preserved fossil belongs to a small dinosaur thought to have lived 160 million years ago. The strange-looking creature had small stiff feathers on its body and long finger-like bones extending from each wrist that were covered in a membrane like a bat\u2019s wing. Scroll down for video . The new dinosaur, named Yi qi (shown above in the artists reconstruction), had unusual bristle-like feathers and bat-like wings that were covered in a membrane. The dinosaur may have been able to glide and even flap . Scientists believe the dinosaur, which they have named Yi qi, meaning \u2018strange wing\u2019, may have glided or even flown through the air. The discovery has provided new insight into how vertebrates first began to take to the air. A new lineage of dinosaur that grazed on plants, despite being closely related to notorious carnivore Tyrannosaurus rex, has been discovered in Chile. Palaeontologists are referring to Chilesaurus diegosuarezi as a 'platypus' dinosaur because of its bizarre combination of characteristics, including its small skull and feet. These features are more like those seen on long-neck dinosaurs. The animal is proving to be an evolutionary jigsaw puzzle because it belongs to the theropod group of dinosaurs - which were predominantly carnivorous and included the famous meat eaters Velociraptor, Carnotaurus and Tyrannosaurus, from which birds today evolved - but was a vegetarian. The presence of herbivorous theropods was up until now only known in close relatives of birds, but Chilesaurus shows a meat-free diet was acquired much earlier than first thought. The dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Period, around 145 million years ago, is named after the country where it was discovered, and Diego Su\u00e1rez, who discovered the bones. Palaeontologists are referring to Chilesaurus diegosuarezi (illustrated) as a 'platypus' dinosaur because of its bizarre combination of features . Researchers say the dinosaur, which would have weighted just 13 ounces (380g) and was 33cm (12 inches) long with a wings that spanned 60cm (23 inches), may have been an early evolutionary experiment with flight. Yi qi belongs the group of carnivorous dinosaurs known as the therapods - which includes Tyranosaurus rex and velociraptor. These dinosaurs are thought to have been the ancestors of modern birds. But unlike modern birds, Yi qi was found to have a strange extra bone extending backwards from its wrist, rather like an entirely separate group of animals that learned to fly - the bats. Professor Xing Xu, one of the world\u2019s leading prolific palaeontologists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and who led the work, said: 'This is really something for me. It is the most unexpected discovery I ever made. 'Birds are descended from dinosaurs, but how exactly the transition occurred is not really clear.

+{"article": "The son in law of disgraced New York politician Sheldon Silver was indicted Monday on two charges unrelated to the separate investigation into his famous power-broker relative. Just three months after Silver himself was arrested on corruption charges, his son-in-law Marcello Trebitsch, 37, was accused of running a $7million Ponzi scheme. The Brooklyn resident was in court on Monday as prosecutors accused him of lying to investors about stock losses and pocketing most of the money entrusted to him for trading. Trebitsch is married to Silver's daughter Michelle. Despite being a co-owner of their mutual fund, Allese Capital LLC, and a certified public accountant who 'kept the books', Michelle has not been charged in the scheme. The son-in-law of Sheldon Silver was charged Monday with allegedly running a $7million Ponzi scheme. Silver, the former Speaker of the New York State Assembly, was charged in January for allegedly taking $4million in brides and kickbacks since 200. Silver pictured above entering court for his arraignment on February 24 . The criminal complaint was filed by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bhahara, the same prosecutor who led the investigation into Silver's alleged corruption. But sources told the New York Daily News that the investigations are unrelated. 'Investing in securities entails certain risks, but should not include the risk of being defrauded by one\u2019s investment manager,' Bhahara said. According to the complaint, Trebitsch took millions from investors, promising to invest their money in large-cap stocks through his mutual fund. However, prosecutors say he only invested a fraction of the money and used the rest to finance his family and pay back other clients. Meanwhile, he allegedly lied to investors about what money he did invest, sending them fake account statements and tax forms that showed them posting positive returns along the lines of his promised 14 to 16 per cent - keeping 'enormous trading losses' secret. Trebitsch ran the scheme from 2009 through December 2014, according to the complaint. Trebitsch has been charged with securities and wire fraud and is currently free on $500,000 bond. If convicted he faces the possibility of 40 years in prison and fines of up to $5.25million. Father-in-law Silver was arrested in January, on charges he took $4million in brides and kickbacks since at least 2000. Following his arrest, Silver was forced to give up his leadership position as Speaker of the New York State Assembly. Silver has viciously denied the charges, and has said he is 'confident' he will be 'vindicated in the courtroom'.

A grandfather accused of murdering his baby granddaughter complained she was a 'bloody nightmare' when he looked after her the day before she was rushed to hospital, a court heard. Mark Jones is accused of killing 41-day-old Amelia Rose Jones at his daughter's terraced home in Pontnewydd, south east Wales. The youngster died of a bleed to the brain after being rushed to hospital on the evening she was being babysat by her grandfather. Miss Jones, 25, told Newport Crown Court that after she had left her baby in the care of her father for the first time on November 16 to go on an evening out with her friends she returned home and he said he had had a difficult night with the child. She said: 'When I came home he told me Amelia had been a bloody nightmare ... I didn't think anything of it at the time. 'I trusted him with my life and my children. I had no reason not to. He was my father.' Jones, 45, of Cwmbran, denies murder. His defence is he dropped Amelia on two separate nights - first after accidentally slipping on a toy and then after suddenly fainting. But his daughter claims he never mentioned slipping over when she returned on November 16. The next day the child was being looked after by her grandfather while her mother went to the cinema. Before she returned, Jones made a 999 call saying he had gone to make a cup of coffee but came back to find the baby having difficulty breathing. She was rushed to Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport where medics managed to restore her pulse. But after failing to get her breathing the baby was quickly transferred for specialist treatment at University Hospital Wales in Cardiff.

+{"article": "THE WILD OATS PROJECT . by Robin Rinaldi . (Hodder \u00a314.99) At the age of 42, San Francisco-based journalist Robin Rinaldi believed she had accidentally succeeded in conceiving a longed- for child. The pregnancy test turned out to be wrong, but her husband Scott wasn\u2019t taking any more chances: he got a vasectomy. Rinaldi\u2019s response was to demand an open marriage and bed 12 strangers in as many months. She\u2019s now written a graphic, tell-all memoir about that year and its very messy fallout. Robin Rinaldi (pictured) demanded an open marriage from her husband, Scott after he had a vasectomy . When they met, 17 years earlier, Rinaldi wasn\u2019t sure she wanted kids. As her biological clock began ticking louder, though, a child came to embody the solution to all sorts of problems. It would strengthen their marriage of opposites, help her finally overcome a troubled childhood as the daughter of an alcoholic bookie and give her life a sense of purpose. Her husband, meanwhile, was adamantly against it from the start. For reasons she never quite gets to the bottom of, he has no desire ever to become a father. She depicts him as stable and stoic but, frankly, he sounds a bit of a cold fish, spending much of his spare time making mead, keeping a file on his laptop entitled My World View and refusing to look her in the eye during sex. After his vasectomy, Rinaldi\u2019s discontent settles onto her failure to sleep around when she was single. \u2018I refuse to go to my grave with no children and only four lovers,\u2019 she declares. \u2018If I can\u2019t have one, I must have the other.\u2019 Promiscuity, she\u2019s certain, will enable her to look back from her deathbed and feel she\u2019s lived. Instead of ending her marriage, she strikes a bargain that seems to give her the best of both worlds. During the week, Rinaldi lives in a rented studio, free to have as much casual sex as she likes. She picks up men on business trips, places \u2018good girl seeks experience\u2019 ads online and, eventually, gravitates to an urban sex commune, where very hands-on orgasmic meditation is practised twice daily. Come the weekend, she returns to Scott and their cat Cleo \u2014 no questions asked. Reading about her Wild Oats Project, it\u2019s hard to know what\u2019s more astonishing \u2014 that Scott ever agreed to this 5:2 open marriage or that Rinaldi thought it could possibly solve anything. Full disclosure: some years ago, I published a memoir about my own year-long experiment \u2014 with chastity. Afterwards, several people told me I should write a follow-up in which I did the exact opposite. I assumed they were joking, but that\u2019s more or less precisely what Rinaldi has done. Not that it isn\u2019t titillating stuff \u2014 at least to begin with. What she craves most especially is dirty talk, and she gives as good as she gets.

Mrs Fairhead, 53, has said she wants to stay for a least another year, but yesterday it emerged that two major investors and a leading shareholder group have voted to get rid of her. She has been under mounting pressure to quit both of her lucrative positions, at the BBC and the scandal-hit bank, after claims that HSBC\u2019s Swiss operation helped wealthy clients hide billions from the taxman. Facing vote: Rona Fairhead is facing calls to step down immediately as a director of HSNC over her links to the bank's tax scandal . Last month she was criticised by MPs as \u2018incredibly na\u00efve or totally incompetent\u2019 for her failure to pick up on the scandal. And last night it emerged that American investors Christian Brothers Investment Services and Trillium Asset Management, which manage more than \u00a34.9billion of assets between them, have lodged their votes to get rid of Mrs Fairhead as a non-executive director on HSBC\u2019s main board. One of the UK\u2019s most powerful shareholder groups has also urged investors to vote against her re-election as an independent director at the bank\u2019s annual general meeting next week. In a note to investors, the Pensions & Investment Research Consultants \u2013 which advises pension funds and other institutional investors managing \u00a31.5trillion \u2013 said: \u2018Ms Fairhead chaired the HSBC audit committee up until 2010, a period when the company\u2019s Swiss arm was allegedly undertaking tax avoidance and evasion on behalf of clients. Scandal: There are claims that HSBC\u2019s Swiss operation helped wealthy clients hide billions from the taxman . \u2018Given the lack of control and oversight of this practice, it is considered that Ms Fairhead failed in her responsibility as a guardian of HSBC.\u2019 But HSBC has told shareholders that Mrs Fairhead, who has been on the board of the embattled bank since 2004, has \u2018agreed to stay on the board for a further one-year period\u2019 \u2013 the maximum she can be voted in for. Non-executive directors at publicly listed companies must be elected on an annual basis, regardless of how long they intend to stay. A source said that both she and the bank would \u2018assess\u2019 whether she should stand for re-election in 2016 \u2018closer to the time\u2019. Public accounts committee chairman, Margaret Hodge, told Mrs Fairhead she should resign or be sacked by the Government as BBC Trust chairman . HSBC declined to comment. Last year Mrs Fairhead received more than \u00a3513,000 in fees and benefits for her work at the troubled bank, including a \u00a3334,000 fee as non-executive chairman of HSBC North America Holdings. PIRC said the huge pay package \u2018could be considered to compromise her ability to scrutinise the bank\u2019s activities independently\u2019. Mrs Fairhead also earns \u00a3110,000-a-year for her three-day-a-week job as chairman of the BBC Trust, and a further \u00a3130,000 as a non-executive director of the fizzy drinks giant Pepsi.

If you weren\u2019t watching Chelsea's victory, what you could see instead was what turned out to be a genuine sporting event, a real footballing occasion. Alongside Wright, the extremely engaging Jason Roberts hoped his old club Reading wouldn\u2019t treat their premature trip to north west London as \u2018a day out' and believed there was a chance the Royals could win against Arsenal.

A historic photograph found by Mr Hamilton-Miller's family shows him watching on as camp commander Josef Kramer, known as The Beast of Belsen, is marched to his death at gunpoint following his trial. His cousin William Miller, 63, who has written a biography about the late solicitor, said: 'Cecil couldn't talk about his Belsen experience in later life without tears streaming down his face because of the traumatic memories.

Bergen-Belsen was a Nazi concentration camp in Lower Saxony, Germany. It was initially intended to hold prisoners of war, but in 1943, parts of the camp became a 'transit camp' for, mainly Jewish, civilian prisoners, . The camp became the final resting place of some 20,000 prisoners of war and 50,000 Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Nazi opponents and disabled, and was is burned to the ground after its liberation by British and Canadian troops in April 1945. After qualifying as a solicitor in 1935, Cambridge educated Mr Hamilton-Miller was enlisted into the Territorial Army in 1936 and then, in 1939, was granted an emergency commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the Border Regiment.

This ended abruptly on April 15, 1945 when the 11th Armoured Division of the British Army liberated Bergen-Belsen.

+{"article": "Genealogists have made an error in compiling the family tree of Hillary Clinton and she is in fact linked to a poor Welsh mining family, an expert claimed . As she kicks off her bid to enter the White House, Hillary Clinton could claim that her path to the presidency began some 160 years ago in the little-known Welsh parish of Ystradyfodwg \u2013 if she can pronounce it, that is. For while the US Democrat has previously spoken of her British ancestry, a definitive family tree has revealed her links to a poor mining community in the Welsh Valleys. Ystradyfodwg, pronounced Ust-rady-vod-ug, was the home of Mrs Clinton's great grandmother - a woman who showed a determination, similar to that of the former First Lady, to struggle through poverty and eventually emigrate to America with her family. In fact Mrs Clinton's steely resolve to get to the White House and make history as the first female president, can be seen in the actions of her female ancestors, who even defied social conventions through the years. US genealogy expert Megan Smolenyak has traced Mrs Clinton\u2019s roots to a mining family from Ystradyfodwg, a small community in south Wales. It is named after Dyfodwg, or Tyfodwg, a sixth century Welsh saint who some believe may have been a Breton Monk. The district, known for its reliance on coal mining and poverty, has since been abolished and is now part of Rhondda. Mrs Clinton's great-grandmother Mary Griffiths was born in Merthyr Tydfil in the Welsh Valleys, and from an early age supported her widowed mother. Official records show she was working as a servant by the age of 12 but in reality she may have been working even earlier. Ms Smolenyak said: 'Born around 1850 in Merthyr Tydfil \u2013 at that time, the largest town in Wales \u2013 she [Mary Griffiths] can be found in the 1851 census living with her widowed mother and three older siblings. 'Fatherless by the age of one, Mary Griffiths had already been dealt a tough hand.' Scroll down for video . She went on to marry William Jones, a coal miner from Neath, in 1871 and the couple settled in Ystradyfodwg. In a bid for a better life the family made the lengthy journey via Ellis Island to Scranton in Pennsylvania, another mining district where they would continue their trade in the early 1880s. Shortly after they arrived Hannah Jones was born, sometime between 1882 and 1883. Mary Griffiths Jones continued as the head of the family, her husband mostly absent. Hannah Jones was one of just four children out of 14 born who survived - an indication of the poverty her traditional mining family lived in. Mrs Clinton's grandparents Hannah Jones (left) and Hugh Rodham eloped to wed in Binghampton, New York, and are pictured with their granddaughter, former First Lady Hillary Clinton .

Here Sportsmail looks at the five things we learned after the two bitter rivals clashed again in Europe. Real Madrid must be careful with a talent like Raphael Varane . Something has to give at Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti's favoured centre-back partnership is Sergio Ramos and Pepe, but in Raphael Varane, who turns 22 later this month, they have a diamond. Pepe's injury trouble recently has meant Varane has started a few games, continuing the education that began under Jose Mourinho. Chelsea\u2019s coach has fluttered his eyelashes at the French international a few times during the past year, making sure he's in pole position should the defender become available. Raphael Varane (left) impressed again for Real Madrid - and saved . Varane will be thinking he is more than ready to be the starting centre-back for a Champions League team and with good reason. His performance here was wise beyond his years and his lightning quick turn of pace can help mop up after any errors. One sprint back to deny Mario Mandzukic was like watching a gazelle catch up with a rhino without even breaking sweat. Varane saved his team at the death too, mopping up after Iker Casillas rushed out his goal and failed to reach the ball. Jan Oblak is proving patience is a virtue . Jan Oblak became the most expensive goalkeeper in Spanish football history when he signed for \u20ac16million from Benfica in the summer. And then Diego Simeone promptly dumped him on the bench and installed another new player, Miguel Angel Moya, in goal. There were reports in the Spanish media that the coach did not rate him, that Atletico wanted to sell him back to the Portuguese side. When he finally played, it was a disaster, with the team losing 3-2 to Olympiakos and Oblak put back on the bench. Jan Oblak (centre) denies Gareth Bale early on in the contest and the keeper had an impressive game . Eventually an injury to Moya left Simeone with Oblak in goal against Bayer Leverkusen, where he became a hero in the penalty shoot-out which secured the team passage to this round of the Champions League, and Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper was brilliant again against Madrid. The Slovenian stopper was the only thing standing between Real Madrid and a hatful of first-half goals. Oblak's save from Gareth Bale - spreading himself wide and blocking the Welshman's strike with his right arm - after barely more than three minutes had elapsed was hugely important. It was beautiful, crucial. The amazing atmosphere generated by Atletico's supporters would have been dented by a goal that early.

A councillor who stabbed his wife nine times with a kitchen knife after discovering her affair with the postman was yesterday found guilty of attempted murder. Joseph O'Riordan, 76, left his wife Mandy, 47, with life-threatening injuries to the chest, torso and back after flying into a rage over her infidelity. But today it can be revealed that her married postman lover, Nick Gunn, 41, had previous affairs with women on his rounds. While his wife last night refused to discuss her unfaithful husband, a former girlfriend revealed their relationship ended because he had been sleeping with a woman on his rounds. She also told how when she confronted him about the affair, he confessed that he had cheated on a previous partner with a woman he had been delivering post to. Mr Gunn started an affair with Mrs O'Riordan last year and the romance led to her husband placing a GPS tracker on her car as he hired a private detective to watch her movements. The couple had been married for ten years and had attended the Queen's garden party in 2013 for O'Riordan's work on the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Yesterday he showed no emotion as a jury took just two hours and ten minutes to reach a unanimous verdict and find him guilty of trying to kill his wife.

The 49-year-old woman showed a staggering response to a new combination of two drugs, to treat skin cancer. Doctors at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York have hailed their patient's recovery 'one of the most astonishing responses', ever seen. Scientists at the hospital have conducted a trial, treating patients diagnosed with advanced melanoma with a new type of treatment. They combined a standard drug already used, ipilimumab, with another, nivolumab. A 49-year-old cancer patient's giant tumour underneath her left breast (starred left) was 'completely destroyed' and 'dissolved away' (right) after she received a pioneering new drugs cocktail to treat melanoma . They hope the new therapy could save thousands of lives in future. A case report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, reveals that after just one dose of the two drugs, the 49-year-old woman reported her tumour 'kind of dissolved'. Four years ago doctors removed a 4.2mm melanoma from her back. After treatment, and a year-and-a-half later, doctors discovered the cancer had returned. Then five months ago, another growth was removed from under the patient's left breast. But despite surgery, the disease returned. When the patient arrived at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, she had developed a huge tumour underneath her left breast, which protruded through the skin. The woman was given her first dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab, without complaining of any side effects. When she returned to the hospital three weeks later, for her second dose of the drugs combination, she revealed to doctors the huge mass underneath her left breast had 'disappeared', leaving a hole in the skin. Doctors treating her said: 'This patient had a rapid eradication of a large tumour mass after a single treatment with combination immunotherapy.' She now, no longer has any detectable melanoma. 'This is one of the most astonishing responses I have seen,' said medical oncologist Paul Chapman. 'It reminds us of the potential power of the immune system if we can remove the \"brakes\" that keep it from attacking cancer cells.' The World Health Organisation estimates that worldwide there are 66,000 deaths annually from skin cancer, with approximately 80 per cent due to melanoma. Researchers at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, led by medical oncologist Michael Postow, examined 142 patients with advanced melanoma, as part of their trials. Patients were randomly assigned to receive ipilimumab and nivolumab or ipilimumab plus a placebo. Those selected to receive ipilimumab with a placebo to start with, were later allowed to receive nivolumab if the first drug was ineffective. In a staggering 61 per cent of patients receiving the combination therapy, the researchers found significant tumour shrinkage. That was compared to just 11 per cent of the patients receiving ipilimumab plus a placebo. Patients receiving both drugs also lived longer without their disease progressing.

And bad taste bags now seem to be everywhere, with designers incorporating weapons, naked women and even abandoned babies into their ranges. FEMAIL takes a look at the worst offenders in the luggage department. Madonna's new handbag has caused a stir for its seemingly drug related slogan, after the pop legend shared a picture of her new luggage with her fans on Instagram on Sunday . Madonna's new black crocodile handbag has caused a stir for its seemingly drug-related slogan, the word 'dealer' spelled out in bling diamond lettering. Sharing the snap of her new bag on Instagram on Sunday, the pop legend wrote, 'Dealers Choice!

Known for pushing the boundaries, Madonna's latest luggage comes from East London designer Mawi Keivom, who specialises in bejeweled luxury accessories.

The 90-second clip was filmed by a witness in an indoor area restricted to workers at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. It shows two male employees in blue uniforms recklessly hurling large suitcases onto the belt and against a wall as they unload a truck.

Kathleen Bailey, 70, a church elder and avid charity fundraiser, was given power of attorney over her terminally ill 87-year-old friend's finances. Bailey later became a carer for her victim, who was battling breast cancer and had no children. But the grandmother, from Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester, helped herself to at least \u00a31,500 and used the money to finance trips to north Wales. Kathleen Bailey (pictured) was given a suspended jail sentence after admitting stealing from her dying friend's bank account . She was handed a 12-month suspended jail sentence after admitting a charge of theft at Bolton Crown Court. She was also ordered to pay \u00a31,500 to her victim's estate. The court heard her victim had persuaded Bailey to take power of attorney, giving her control of the sick friend's financial affairs. She had used the power properly at first to ensure her friend was looked after in a care home in Bury and enjoyed days out. But she then 'overstepped the mark', according to the prosecution, when she helped herself to cash from her friend's account. Officials at NatWest bank in Ramsbottom suspended the account when they noticed increasingly large sums of money being withdrawn from October 2012. Over a three-month period, \u00a3800, \u00a3880 and \u00a31,100 was taken out in successive transactions. The police arrested Bailey at her home in Ramsbottom - and her victim died eight weeks later.

Colin Buckle, defending, said the pair had been life-long friends and that Bailey had become her elderly friend's carer, and had also taken her away on holidays as well as carrying out daily chores.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies said Ed Miliband's 'vague' promise to balance the books would allow Labour to borrow \u00a390billion more than the Tories by 2020. This would rise to \u00a3280billion in extra debt by the end of the next decade if Labour remained in power.

David Cameron said the assessment showed Labour was 'a risk to our recovery, a risk to our economy, a risk to jobs' The think-tank warned that Labour's failure to control borrowing would leave Britain 'less well placed to deal with future adverse events', such as another recession or the costs of an ageing population. But it was also highly critical of the lack of detail in the Conservatives' plans, saying the party had failed to spell out where it would find tens of billions of pounds in cuts. In a withering verdict, it said all the main parties were keeping voters 'in the dark' about what they would do, adding: 'None of the parties has provided anything like full details of their fiscal plans for each year of the coming parliament.' IFS director Paul Johnson said: 'All the parties have told us where they are going to increase spending on things like health, but none have said much about where the pain is going to fall.' He said the gap between the parties' plans was 'bigger than any time since 1992' \u2013 giving voters a clear choice between more taxes, spending or borrowing. Conservative plans require Whitehall cuts of \u00a330billion, while Labour could get away with savings of just \u00a31billion. Carl Emmerson, deputy director of the IFS, added: 'The electorate has a real choice, although it can at best see only the broad outlines of that choice.' The IFS said Labour's plans were broadly compatible with those of its potential post-election partners in the SNP. The Scottish nationalists want to spend an extra \u00a34billion on benefits. But in an unflattering assessment, the IFS said there was a 'significant disconnect' between its anti-austerity rhetoric and its plans. Labour said the think-tank had made 'wrong assumptions' about its plans.

But despite the 'thunder lizard' being deep rooted in popular culture, for more than a century scientists believed the infamous dinosaur never existed.

Pictured is a Brontosaurus as researchers see it today -- with a Diplodocus-like head . The researchers looked at 477 anatomical features across 81 individual dinosaurs found in museums throughout Europe and US. Instead of the traditional method of plotting how similar each species is to the others, they instead used a 'specimen-based protocol'. This meant they could analyse each individual animal, despite its species, and allowed them to look at differences within each species, as well as between different species. The main shape of the tree supported what other paleontologists had previously proposed. But fossils that were originally labelled Brontosaurus appeared different from two Apatosaurus species. Most of the differences were in tiny anatomical features, but one distinctive trait was that Apatosaurus has a wider neck than Brontosaurus. Since 1903, experts have been arguing the creature was originally misnamed. Instead of belonging to the genus, or species 'family' Brontosaurus, they said it should in fact have been classified as 'Apatosaurus'. Now new research has shown that it is, after all, sufficiently different from Apatosaurus to deserve its own genus name. Scientists from the UK and Portugal submitted the evidence for resurrecting Brontosaurus in a study almost 300 pages long published in the open access journal PeerJ. 'The differences we found between Brontosaurus and Apatosaurus were at least as numerous as the ones between other closely related genera, and much more than what you normally find between species,' said Dr Roger Benson, one of the authors from Oxford University.

The multi-millionaire owner of the Nina Ricci fashion company was today sent to prison for trying to hide her fortune from the French taxman through HSBC bank. Arlette Ricci, 74 and one of the richest women in Europe, was \u2018particularly determined\u2019 to stash money in Swiss accounts for more than two decades. A judgement handed down by a Paris criminal court added: \u2018The seriousness of the facts are an exceptional threat to the public good.\u2019 Ricci had denied hiding the equivalent of more than \u00a315million, saying she had simply tried to avoid tax \u2013 which is legal \u2013 rather than evade it, which is not. However, bugged phone conversations between the heiress and her daughter, Margot Vignat, suggested otherwise. According to the transcript, Ms Ricci boasted that she changed banks to escape prosecution and spent the hidden funds on buying a chalet in an upmarket Swiss ski resort. \u2018I was never troubled. So I bought a chalet in Klosters, and now it\u2019s fine. There was 2009, 2010, 2011 \u2013 it\u2019s been three years so I think I\u2019m free of any type of inspection,\u2019 Ricci was heard to say. Her daughter was heard warning her about the tax authorities, saying: 'Watch out all the same. They're vicious.' But Ricci reassured her, saying: 'Everyone got done but not me. They had to give themselves in and pay a fortune.' The daughter replied: 'Oh, that could cause some damage'. Ricci, in turn, said: 'Yes, of course, because all that is very illegal.' In what will set a legal precedent for other cases of tax fraud through HSBC, Ricci was also fined the equivalent of more than \u00a3700,000. Judges also ordered that houses in Paris and on the holiday island of Corsica worth more than \u00a33m be seized. Ricci was accused of transferring the deeds of the properties to family trusts in an attempt to restructure her assets, so as to evade penalties. She was given a total of three years in prison, with two years suspended. Her daughter, 51, was also convicted and given an eight-month suspended sentence. Henri-Nicolas Fleurance, Ricci\u2019s tax adviser, was given a one-year suspended prison sentence and an \u00a38000 fine for attempting to organise her insolvency. Jean-Marc Fedida, one of the defence barristers, said 'justice was done under frenetic, brutal pressure', so as to use a high-profile defendant as a 'warning to all those' with offshore accounts. But he conceded the sentence was 'much lighter' that what the prosecution had asked for. Ricci, who had faced a maximum prison sentence of 10 years, may ask if she can serve the prison term under less strict conditions, including wearing an electronic tag, her lawyers said. The multi-millionaire is the first French national to face trial over tax evasion in what has been dubbed a test case.

+{"article": "Britain struck oil in the Falklands yesterday, a discovery likely to escalate already heightened tensions with Argentina over the ownership of the islands. Above, troops walk across the island in 1982 . Argentina has said it will prosecute oil companies operating off the Falklands coast, as tension rise on the 33rd anniversary of the conflict. Officials claim companies active there are acting 'illegally' in Argentine territory. It comes after Britain struck oil in the Falklands this week in a remote field of the islands. The find, announced by British firms that share the exploration area (Premier Oil, Rockhopper Exploration and Falkland Oil & Gas), could be worth billions of pounds and will increase fears of renewed conflict over the British overseas territory. It comes just days after Defence Secretary Michael Fallon warned of a 'very live threat' from Argentina. David Filmus, the Argentine minister in charge of the Malvinas, as the islands are known in Latin America, said: 'The new exploration efforts to try to find hydrocarbons in the area carry a huge environmental risk.' He said the foreign and planning ministries would undertake a joint legal filing in the coming days to try and block further exploration. 'We want the owners of the companies to be tried according to Argentine laws and international statutes,' Mr Filmus said, adding that the process 'could end with an Argentine judge issuing an arrest warrant against those who operate illegally in Argentine waters'. The discovery at the Zebedee exploratory well comes amid worsening relations with Buenos Aires, exactly 33 years after Argentina invaded the islands. Lord West of Spithead, a former First Sea Lord, said last night the find would lead to further claims by the Argentinians over the long-disputed territory in the South Atlantic. 'The rhetoric and sabre-rattling from Argentina will grow,' he added. 'The Argentinians have always been worried we will find oil and, given their economic state, they will think, 'We should have it'. 'We will have to be careful. The only way to stop them (acting) is to ensure we have sufficient military there. The rhetoric from Argentina will get worse.' Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982, leading to a conflict that cost 260 British and 650 Argentine lives. The South American state still claims territorial rights to the islands. Britain pledged last week to invest \u00a3180million over the next ten years to defend the islands, with an upgrade of a surface-to-air missile system and the deployment of two Chinook helicopters. The commitment came after it was revealed earlier this year that Russia could be helping to re-arm Argentina. The latest incident sees a heightening of tensions between Argentina and Britain over the Falklands. Pictured is the bombing of the Sir Galahad Troop Carrier, after it was hit by a missile .

Meanwhile, a Turkish official says police have detained two people suspected of involvement in the attack. Trabzon Governor Abdil Celil Oz said the two suspects were detained early on Tuesday and that one of them is believed to have followed the convoy while the other fired shots with a rifle at the bus. The decision to suspend football in Turkey affects both next weekend's Super Lig fixtures and the midweek cup quarter-finals, although Besiktas' match against Istanbul Basaksehir, the last of this weekend's Super Lig matches, is scheduled to go ahead on Monday evening. Fenerbahce's bus came under armed attack as it drove to the airport following an away match at Caykur Rizespor, which Fener won 5-1, in Turkey's Super Lig. Five round marks can be seen on the windscreen of the Fenerbahce team bus after the attack . The window nearest the driver was smashed during the attack on Saturday night . The injured driver, with blood seeping from a head wound, seeks help after the attack . Fenerbahce on Sunday demanded that football be suspended until the incident was dealt with and the perpetrators punished, and on Monday a one-week suspension was announced by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) following a meeting with sports minister Akif Cagatay Kilic. 'This was a cowardly and treacherous attack,' Kilic said in comments on the TFF website. He added: 'I think it's important to make this response. This was an attack not just on Fenerbahce, but an attack on Turkish sport and Turkish football. I believe we will stand as one against it.' Kilic also wished a speedy recovery to the bus driver, named as Ufuk Kiran, who was injured in the attack. The club had posted several pictures of the bus on their website after the attack which showed a shattered side window and damage to the front windscreen. The pictures also showed blood on the driver's seat and the steering wheel. The attack followed Fener's 5-1 win away to Rizespor.

The family of Adolf Hitler's minister of propaganda is suing a publisher for royalties over a biography that used extracts from his diaries. Cordula Schacht - whose own father Hjalmar Schacht was Hitler's minister of economics - is representing Joseph Goebbels' estate in the case against Random House Germany and its imprint Sidler. The dispute comes after Peter Longerich, a leading authority on the Holocaust and Nazi Germany, drew on the diaries for a biography called Goebbels, which was published in Germany in 2010. Now the English edition of the biography, which includes the same entries, is due to be published by Penguin Random House UK and its imprint The Bodley Head on May 7. Rainer Dresen, general counsel of Random House Germany, believes this case carries an important principal and that paying such money would be immoral. 'We are convinced that no money should go to a war criminal,' he said. 'This war criminal didn't really commit acts by his hands, but by his words. 'These words prolonged the war\u2026 [and] should not bring any money\u2026 to [his] heirs.' Mr Dresen was astonished when Schacht first demanded money after contacting the publisher as a representative of Goebbels' heirs. 'I did not want to believe that anyone can claim royalties for Goebbels' words,' he added. Scroll down for video . Last September the district court of Munich ordered the publisher to disclose its earnings. It appealed on legal, copyright and moral grounds, and the case is due to be heard in Munich on April 23. Mr Dresen has suggested to Schacht in court that royalties could be paid if she were to donate them subsequently to a Holocaust charity.

The plague, which famously killed millions of Europeans during the Black Death, is most commonly carried by fleas and rodents. Prairie dog deaths at Picture Canyon in Arizona alerted officials to the possibility of an outbreak. Parasitic insects from the preserve near a water treatment plant in Flagstaff were found to carry the illness. Scroll down for video . Authorities near Flagstaff, Arizona, have found fleas infected with plague after prairie dogs in Picture Canyon began dying (file photos) The plague, which killed millions of Europeans in the 1300s, causes pustules on the skin and is still contracted by 2,000 people a year (file photo) Human cases have developed from close contact with cats who have preyed on infected vermin and residents in the Southwest have been warned about dangers of the disease while camping. The Southwestern US is similar to the plains of Central Asia where plague began, Professor David Wagner of Northern Arizona University told the Arizona Daily Sun. Plague is still contracted by as many as 2,000 people a year, according to the World Health Organization, though the vast majority of cases are in sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Prairie dogs are particularly susceptible to illness because they live in social burrows, and 90 per cent of the furry creatures' colony can eventually be wiped out if plague infects one member. The disease's rodent host dies, when fleas will look for more blood to drink, including from people. The vast majority of human plague cases reported in the US are in the arid climate of the Southwest, which scientists say is similar to the disease's homeland of Central Asia . The discovery of the disease at Picture Canyon (pictured) has prompted a warning from authorities about the dangers posed by dead rodents . Insecticide has been sprayed in prairie dog burrows in Picture Canyon to halt the plague's spread. Symptoms of pain in humans include fever, chills and muscle pain. At later stages it causes gangrene and a large amount of pustules, or buboes, on the skin. The incubation period could be up to seven days. Modern medications are effective in fighting the plague, also known by its bacterial name Yersinia pestis, though it can be deadly if left untreated. The last plague epidemic in the United States was in Los Angeles between 1924 and 1925, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Iona Costello, 51, and daughter Emily were going into the city when they were last seen on March 30 near their home in the the wealthy seaside village of Greenport. Their car was found in a parking garage on 42nd street in Manhattan, but the pair, who often went into the city for theater and art museums, left no other trace of their whereabouts. Scroll down for video . Iona Costello, 51 (left) and her 14-year-old daughter Emily (right) have been missing for almost three weeks after last being seen on March 30 near their home in the wealthy seaside village of Greenport . The pair often go to shows and museums in New York City, but relatives have filed a missing person report after Emily did not return to her East Hampton school from Spring Break . Relatives of the 'quiet Irish family', who own a horse farm on Long Island's North Fork, reported them missing on Tuesday. Mrs Costello, who was her late husband George's third wife and inherited his entire estate along with her daughter, had been 'under a lot of stress' because of a legal battle with four of his five adult children from previous marriages. 'She can\u2019t sell anything. She can\u2019t do anything because everything is in court,' an unidentified relative told the New York Daily News. 'I don\u2019t know if she\u2019s having a nervous breakdown. I don\u2019t know if somebody has kidnapped them,' the unidentified family member said of the Costellos' long absence from their home and farm. Costello's adult children have argued that the will granting the estate to Iona was improperly executed, according to Novick Law Group. A Long Island court sided with the adult children last year, and Iona Costello is appealing. Amanda Hurwitz, one of George's daughters who now lives in Connecticut, refused to comment to Daily Mail Online on the report or her stepmother's disappearance. The widow's trip into New York was originally only supposed to last for several days. 'She said she was going to Manhattan for Easter,' Iona's mother Diana Malcolmson, 80, told Daily Mail Online.

+{"article": "Nigel Farage (above) faced claims of a \u2018cover-up\u2019 last night for censoring a poll that suggests he is on course for a humiliating personal defeat in the General Election . Nigel Farage faced claims of a \u2018cover-up\u2019 last night for censoring a poll that suggests he is on course for a humiliating personal defeat in the General Election. The secret Ukip-commissioned poll, leaked to The Mail on Sunday, shows that Farage has fallen behind his Tory opponent in the Kent seat he is contesting. And he is in danger of finishing third, with Labour catching up fast. If the poll is accurate, it could end Farage\u2019s political career as he has vowed to resign as Ukip leader if he fails to win South Thanet. The ComRes poll was commissioned last month by multimillionaire businessman and former Tory Arron Banks, who defected to Ukip last year and gave the party \u00a31million. Ukip hoped the Thanet poll would echo an earlier one showing Farage heading for a famous victory, and they planned to use it to whip up more support. But when the result came through, Farage had a shock. It showed Conservative candidate Craig Mackinlay, a former Ukip activist, on 30 points, one ahead of Farage, with Labour only one behind. Farage was so alarmed he gave orders for the findings to be hushed up to avoid causing panic in Ukip ranks \u2013 and encouraging his rivals. Ukip officials spent last week trying to deny a cover-up. But yesterday, a spokesman finally admitted it had buried the survey, claiming the results were \u2018unreliable\u2019 and that it was a \u2018rogue poll\u2019. The censored poll is not the only sign that the wheels may be coming off Farage\u2019s bandwagon, nationally and locally. The party won last year\u2019s European elections with a sensational 27.5 per cent of the vote, compared to 24 for the Conservatives. But nationally Ukip\u2019s support is now down to 14 per cent, while the Tories have risen to 34. Ukip hopes of becoming a major parliamentary force received a huge boost when two Tory defectors, Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless, won stunning by-election victories last year in Clacton and Rochester respectively. The poll showed Conservative candidate Craig Mackinlay (left), a former Ukip activist, on 30 points, one ahead of Farage. Above, Mackinlay is pictured with Sol Campbell campaigning . However, the decline in support for Ukip has led to most pundits predicting they will end up with a maximum of five MPs in May. If the censored poll is accurate, Farage may not be one of them, and that will leave Ukip in search of a new leader. Farage raised the Thanet stakes dramatically when he said in his recent autobiography that he would stand down as leader if he loses. \u2018The consequences of me failing to secure a seat for myself in the Commons would be significant for me and the party,\u2019 he wrote.

The comments were made by chief executive George Whitesides at the annual Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, reported the Financial Times. \u2018The first message that I wanted to communicate is that we are moving forward well,\u2019 Mr Whitesides told the audience. \u2018The team is doing great and has turned a corner - that is the second spaceship.\u2019 Ticket cost: The starting price for flights is \u00a3150,000 ($250,000). The first will be by Richard Branson and his family. Training: Passengers are required to go through a 'Pre-Flight Experience Programme', including three days of pre-flight preparing onsite at the spaceport to ensure passengers are physically and mentally fit to fly. Once aboard: SpaceShipTwo will carry six passengers and two pilots. Each passenger gets the same seating position with two large windows - one to the side and one overhead. Flight path: A climb to 50,000ft (15,000 metres) before the rocket engine ignites and SpaceShipTwo separates from its carrier aircraft, White Knight II. Passengers become 'astronauts' when they reach the Karman line 62 miles (100km) up. Virgin Galactic has not named this vehicle yet. The first was called SW12 8QYVSS Enterprise. Construction on the spacecraft began in 2012, as Virgin Galactic always planned to have more than one craft. 'Assembly of SpaceShipTwo Serial 2 is now 75 per cent complete, and we are on track to start the vehicle\u2019s test program this year,' a spokesperson from the company told MailOnline. 'This programme includes both ground and flight tests, the exact timing of which will be dictated by safety and readiness rather than deadlines.' The previous SpaceShipTwo was destroyed on 31 October 2014 when co-pilot Michael Alsbury accidentally pulled a lever that activated the craft\u2019s \u2018feathering system\u2019. This is used to help the vehicle slow down and return from space - but deploying it at the wrong moment caused the spacecraft to disintegrate. Alsbury was killed in the resultant crash, while pilot Peter Siebold was seriously injured - but somehow survived when he was thrown clear of the cockpit in his seat. While the fault appears to have been down to human error - and not a mechanical fault - the National Transportation Safety Board is yet to publish its report on the crash.

The 36-year-old is seeking $20million in lost future earnings and $15,000 in damages after he contracted the deadly infection in 2013 following a surgery on an ingrown toenail, according to Albert Breer of the NFL Network. The lawsuit was announced on Monday and alleges that the Buccaneers 'failed to disclose and actively concealed ongoing incidents of the infection among other individuals' who used team's facilities, according to ESPN. Lawrence Tynes has filed a lawsuit against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for $20million in lost future earnings . Tynes was in training camp with the Buccaneers in 2013 when he contracted the deadly MRSA infection . The suit also claims that the team did not use necessary sterile techniques and routinely left therapy devices, equipment and surfaces unclean, according to ESPN. Tynes and another player, offensive guard Carl Nicks, both contracted Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections during a July 2013 outbreak of the infection during the Buccaneers' summer training camp prior to the season. Nicks reached a settlement with the team last year over his infection for $3million, according to Deadspin. Tynes, who has not kicked a football since 2012, said that he spent eight or nine days without being diagnosed and his infection worsened. 'No one cultured my toe at the facility,' he told ESPN. 'I left that facility on my own and found a doctor in town and said, 'Can you look at my toe because I think all the doctors at the Bucs are lying to me.' The former kicker is seeking an additional $15,000 in damages and says the infection has ended his career . The lawsuit claims that the team did not use necessary sterile techniques and routinely left therapy devices, equipment and surfaces unclean . 'And I took my sock off, he looks at my toe, without any scientific study or anything, he said, 'You have MRSA.' And I'm at a billion-dollar company with the supposed best doctors in the world, and not one of them told me that I had that? I know they knew I had it. They just didn't want me to have it.' He also told ESPN he nearly had his toe amputated due to MRSA, and said that because of the pain in his toe he can longer play. After he contracted the infection, Tynes was placed on the non-football injury list (NFI) by the team just before the season began. MRSA is usually contracted by people in hospitals or other medical facilities. It is resistant to most antibiotic treatments and can lead to deadly flesh-eating bacteria.

Born January 31, 1942, in Pontiac, Michigan, to German-Jewish immigrants, Taubman worked as a boy at a department store after school near his family's home, which was among the custom houses and commercial buildings developed in the area by his father. He was a freshman at the University of Michigan when he left to serve in World War II, around the time he stopped using his first name, Adolph.

Emre Can has caught the eye since Christmas, while results have been better with Lucas Leiva in the team; Liverpool have only suffered three defeats in the 23 matches he has started. And that explains why Liverpool are where they are at the moment. There have been lots of satisfactory contributions, a few excellent, but there hasn\u2019t been anywhere near the consistency of 12 months ago. Jordan Henderson has chipped in with some important goals and impressed with his boundless energy . Coutinho has again played well and won the game for Liverpool to send them into the FA Cup semi-finals . Coutinho has popped up with some important goals this season \u2014 five of his six strikes have earned Liverpool results (four wins and a draw). It is why they find themselves on the wrong side of the line for Champions League places and why they have made such heavy weather of this FA Cup campaign. For long periods here they flattered to deceive. Sterling saw little of the ball and Sturridge continued to show how out of form he is. The goals have dried up for Rodgers\u2019 side over the course of the last month \u2014 they had only scored seven in their previous six matches before this game. Rodgers must have feared the worst as Simon Mignolet kept his side\u2019s Wembley dreams alive with two stunning saves early in the second period, but then, much to his relief, up popped Coutinho. There is still time, of course, for one", "summary": "Luis Suarez was Liverpool's player of last season . But who would earn that accolade this year? Jordan Henderson has many backers, as does Coutinho . Several, among them Emre Can and Raheem Sterling, have shone in parts . There have been lots of adequate contributions but there hasn't been anywhere near enough consistency .

Our quest for the perfect garden could be ruining our chances of making contact with ET. This is according to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory who is objecting to proposals by iRobot to release a radio wave-guided lawnmower. iRobot is famous for creating self-guided Roomba machines . The problem is the frequency band proposed for the lawnbot is 6240-6740 MHz - the same one several large radio telescopes operate on. 'We'll see the whole thing with our electronics,' Harvey Liszt, spectrum manager for the observatory, told Bloomberg. 'It's a distortion.' iRobot, who has created self-guided Roomba vacuum cleaners, has filed a request with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to use airwaves for its latest design. The Massachusetts company says its vision is to create lawnmowers that are guided wirelessly from beacons on poles stuck into the lawn. Existing models use wires hidden in the ground to set boundaries, rather using airwaves. Astronomers that the frequencies iRobot wants to use are the same as they use to detect methanol \u2013 a key sign of star formation. There is already a ban on the use of mobile phone close to the Green Bank Telescope (pictured) in West Virginia, which the National Radio Astronomy Observatory owns .

For years, scientists have been trying to uncover the source of mysterious radio signals being picked up in Australia. Theories have ranged from evaporating black holes to extraterrestrial communication and mergers of neutron stars. Now researchers at the Parkes Observatory claim they have finally found the source of these 'alien' signals - in their kitchen microwave. Scientists knew the strange signals, known as perytons, originated somewhere near to the planet, but they had no idea just how close. The researchers were able to replicate the emission of perytons by opening the microwave door while the device was still running. Within a fraction of a second, the microwave activity was picked up by the reader and the source of the perytons revealed.

But it is unusual, because so far such activity has only been spotted on the day-side of the comet - not the night, like this. Scroll down for video . This animation shows the jet erupting from comet 67P. The first image was taken at 7:13am BST (2:13am EST) on 12 March, and the second was taken two minutes later. The jet is unusual because it is erupting from the dark underside of the comet, whereas such activity had only been seen on the day side so far. Credit: Esa . The two images, released yesterday, were taken by the Osiris camera on the Rosetta spacecraft from a distance of 47 miles (75km), according to Esa. As the comet gets closer to the sun, its surface gets warmer, causing frozen gases to erupt from the surface, carrying dust particles. But it\u2019s not clear if this caused the jet - or an explosion of material caused by ice sublimating (turning from solid to gas) underground. In the first image, taken at 7:13am BST (2:13am EST) on 12 March, the upper comet can be seen with several rays of dust illuminated by the sun, while the dark underside shows no such features. Two minutes later though, in the second image, a spectacular new jet emerges from the dark side, hurling dust into space at 26ft (eight metres) per second. \u2018This was a chance discovery,\u2019 said Osiris principal investigator Dr Holger Sierks from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany. \u2018No one has ever witnessed the wake-up of a dust jet before.

After a four billion mile (6.5 billion km) journey, the probe then successfully released the Philae lander from its grip to land on the comet on 12 November 2014, travelling at 3.3ft (one metre) per second relative to the comet. But when it first made contact with the surface it failed to fire harpoons that would have kept it attached to the comet.

Nasa says a white dwarf star - the dense core of a star like the Sun that has run out of nuclear fuel - ripped apart a planet at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. When a star reaches its white dwarf stage, nearly all of the material from the star is packed inside a radius one hundredth that of the original star. This means that, for close encounters, the gravitational pull of the star and the associated tides, caused by the difference in gravity's pull on the near and far side of the planet, are greatly enhanced.

A recent Nasa map shows is produces more than triple the standard ground-based estimate - and researchers say they don't know why.. Scroll down for video . The Four Corners area (red) is the major U.S. hot spot for methane emissions in this map showing how much emissions varied from average background concentrations from 2003-2009 (dark colors are lower than average; lighter colors are higher). The hot spot, near the Four Corners intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, covers only about 2,500 square miles. Methane is very efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Like carbon dioxide, it contributes to global warming. To calculate the emissions rate that would be required to produce the observed concentration of methane in the air, the authors performed high-resolution regional simulations using a chemical transport model, which simulates how weather moves and changes airborne chemical compounds. Researchers from several institutions are now in the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest with a suite of airborne and ground-based instruments, aiming to uncover reasons for a mysterious methane 'hot spot' detected from space. 'With all the ground-based and airborne resources that the different groups are bringing to the region, we have the unique chance to unequivocally solve the Four Corners mystery,' said Christian Frankenberg, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, who is heading NASA's part of the effort. Other investigators are from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) in Boulder, Colorado; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Last fall, researchers including Frankenberg reported that a small region around the Four Corners intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah had the highest concentration of methane over background levels of any part of the United States. An instrument on a European Space Agency satellite measuring greenhouse gases showed a persistent atmospheric hot spot in the area between 2003 and 2009. The amount of methane observed by the satellite was much higher than previously estimated. The satellite observations were not detailed enough to reveal the actual sources of the methane in the Four Corners. Likely candidates include venting from oil and gas activities, which are primarily coalbed methane exploration and extraction in this region; active coal mines; and natural gas seeps. Researchers from CIRES, NOAA's Earth Systems Research Laboratory and Michigan are conducting a field campaign called TOPDOWN (Twin Otter Projects Defining Oil Well and Natural gas emissions) 2015, bringing airborne and ground-based instruments to investigate possible sources of the methane hot spot.

Pellegrini said: 'Maybe they are playing different. They are in a good moment and they are playing with a lot of trust. 'With the other manager also Crystal Palace was a difficult team, but now they are playing at home.' City laboured to a 3-0 win over Palace at the Etihad Stadium in December in what proved Neil Warnock's penultimate match in charge. Pardew was appointed early in the new year and since then they have proved highly resilient, losing just three times in the Premier League and removing relegation fears. The Monday fixture has meant both sides have had to be patient for their return to action after the international break. It is a wait that could have been advantageous in terms of extra rest had their rivals lost over the weekend.

The Chilean said: 'I don't think we have excuses about those things. We are going to play the last game of this matchday but that doesn't matter. 'It is not an excuse and not an advantage. All the national players arrived back on Wednesday - most of them - so every team had three or four days to prepare. It is not so important.'

The 283 per cent rise, which comes after it emerged City were increasing the cost of some season tickets for able-bodied fans from \u00a3870 to \u00a31,700, has been strongly criticised by some of those affected. They claim the Premier League champions are trying to force migration to other parts of the Etihad Stadium as part of a wide-ranging re-seating plan following a 6,000-seat extension which will see capacity rise to around 55,000. Manchester City have been accused of trying to relocate disabled fans by hiking up season ticket prices . The disabled bays subject to the huge increase are in the same section of the stadium as the season tickets that have risen from \u00a3870 to \u00a31,700 - the prime pitchside second tier. City say that area has been transformed into a premium location, and that ticket holders will receive a programme, parking and access to executive bars - an offering they did not have this season. They add that they do not wish to discriminate and have to ensure they give the same offering to all supporters. But some of the disabled fans say the improved offering is useless to them and point out that they are in wheelchairs, and so will not have the benefit of an upgraded padded seat. The reigning Premier League champions celebrate victory over West Ham in their last game . Mark Barber is the secretary of the Manchester City Disabled Supporters Association who released a statement saying they were disgusted with club. He said: 'It affects users in the Colin Bell and East Stands. They pay \u00a3345 at the moment and, depending on the level they sit on, have been told to renew it will cost \u00a3975. 'That is just for the same wheelchair bay. The club are turning the areas where the affected bays are into premium level seating. They clearly want a certain kind of client there, business men and the like, who they can make money from.' The Etihad club have increased season tickets for many fans ahead of next season . Mark, 49 and himself a wheelchair user, added that the only option for those who could not afford the giant hikes was to move behind the goal. 'There's no option to sit at the side of the pitch which a lot of people want to do,' he explained. 'They are forcing people into a certain area. 'We would like a halo of disabled bays around the ground as they have at Wembley so you can choose where to go but they won't listen to us. There's 134 of us and we are obviously not important.'

The number of Christians in the US will decline from three quarters of the population in 2010 to just two thirds in 2050, researchers claim.

McElroy said she was 'mortified' and 'in terrible shape' when she found out what she had done, she wrote in a column for the Washington Post. Respected Drexel University law professor Lisa McElroy, 50, who made national headlines last month after accidentally emailing her students a porn link, has spoken out about reclaiming her dignity since the scandal . The legal writing professor, who earned a doctorate from Harvard Law School, writes that she was sure she had lost her 'dignity forever' when news of the scandal first broke. 'Everyone was talking about me,' she said. 'Everyone was speculating about whether I watched porn, or used sex toys, or liked kinky sex. Some people were calling for my job and law license.' The professor said she would not divulge in her column how the mistake happened. 'If you're hoping to find out here how that happened, among the many possibilities that have been raised by gleeful commentators, I\u2019m sorry to tell you you\u2019re going to be disappointed.' But McElroy did explain her concern that, with a profession where she teaches 'students to project a dignified image' and 'possess integrity', people would no longer believe the teacher could follow her own lessons. Drexel conducted an internal investigation after the incident and found that McElroy, a tenured professor, had not violated the the university's sexual harassment and misconduct policy. The university said in a statement that federal law requires it investigate all reports of 'inappropriate behaviors of a sexual nature'. The professor defends Drexel's decision to investigate the matter. She wrote that critics of the university were 'dismissing the dignity of the law' and 'giving no consideration to an atmosphere in which the law exists to protect people and an investigation may be necessary'. But McElroy said she wondered why no one thought to question the 'dignity of those who forwarded the unintended post'. 'No one asked why, if they found it so offensive, students opened the link, with its unmistakable Web address, and watched the video long enough to know what it contained,' she said. In fact, McElroy writes, there wasn't anything newsworthy about the mistake she calls 'pretty trivial' at all. 'My students are adults. The link was quickly removed. There was nothing illegal in the video...Yet, because it was porn and I'm a law professor, news organizations spread the story around the world.'

+{"article": "Acetaminophen is the main ingredient in the over-the-counter pain reliever Tylenol . Painkillers not only dull physical pain, but they can also dull your emotions. This is according to a new study that claims acetaminophen (paracetamol) - the main ingredient in the over-the-counter pain reliever Tylenol and paracetamol - has the ability to weaken feelings of happiness and sadness. Acetaminophen has been in use for more than 70 years, but this is the first time that this side effect has been discovered. Previous research had shown that acetaminophen works not only on physical pain, but also on psychological pain. This study takes those results one step further by showing that it also reduces how much users actually feel positive emotions, said Geoffrey Durso, lead author at the Ohio State University. 'This means that using Tylenol or similar products might have broader consequences than previously thought,' Durso said. 'Rather than just being a pain reliever, acetaminophen can be seen as an all-purpose emotion reliever.' Baldwin Way, an assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University said people in the study who took the pain reliever didn't appear to know they were reacting differently. 'Most people probably aren't aware of how their emotions may be impacted when they take acetaminophen,' he said. There were two studies of college students. The first involved 82 participants, half of whom took an acute dose of 1000 milligrams of acetaminophen and half who took an identical-looking placebo. They then waited 60 minutes for the drug to take effect. Participants then viewed 40 photographs selected from a database used by researchers around the world to elicit emotional responses. The photographs ranged from the extremely unpleasant, to the neutral and the very pleasant. After viewing each photo, participants were asked to rate how positive or negative the photo was on a scale of -5 (extremely negative) to +5 (extremely positive). Results showed that participants who took acetaminophen rated all the photographs less extremely than did those who took the placebo. The researchers don't know if other pain relievers such as ibuprofen and aspirin have the same effect, although they plan on finding out in future research . They then viewed the same photos again and were asked to rate how much the photo made them feel an emotional reaction. Researchers are not exactly sure how Ty . The researchers don't know if other pain relievers such as ibuprofen and aspirin have the same effect, although they plan on studying that question. Acetaminophen, unlike many other pain relievers, is not a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID. That means it not thought to control inflammation in the body. Whether that fact has any relevance to possible emotional effects of the drugs is still an open question, the researchers added. In this study, acetaminophen may have tapped into the sensitivity that makes some people react differently to both positive and negative life events. 'There is accumulating evidence that some people are more sensitive to big life events of all kinds, rather than just vulnerable to bad events,' Durso said. Results showed that participants", "summary": "It looked at acetaminophen (paracetamol), the main ingredient in Tylenol . Eighty one people were asked to look at happy, sad and neutral images .

Peter Gale, 47, was dismissed by Nonsuch High School For Girls in Surrey for \u2018unprofessional and inappropriate conduct\u2019 two weeks ago. At the time of the announcement, the school\u2019s governors failed to release any more details.

School rules strictly forbid teachers sending messages to pupils from private email accounts. The Cheam academy has described Mr Gale\u2019s actions a \u2018serious breach of safeguarding procedures\u2019. Despite this, the National Union of Teachers appeared to play down the seriousness of his conduct. In a statement to The Mail on Sunday, the union implied Mr Gale\u2019s actions only amounted to a breach of the school\u2019s information and communications technology rules.

The specialist science college and languages school, which counts singer Katie Melua and Olympic gold medallist Joanna Rowsell among its alumni, passed judgment on Mr Gale at an internal disciplinary hearing earlier this month, ruling he had broken rules in place to prevent personal communications between staff and pupils. It is understood this was in breach of guidance telling teachers never to use a private email account to send messages to pupils, partly for their own protection. The school has refused to reveal the precise content of the emails, but it is understood they were informal and read like text messages. It is believed there were also concerns about the way Mr Gale, the former deputy headmaster of all-girl Rosebery School in nearby Epsom, had treated the student differently from other pupils. Mr Gale, who is understood to be unmarried and who lives in Godalming, Surrey, declined to comment directly to The Mail on Sunday.

Frail Gaston Pinsard, 96, is thought to be Britain's oldest serving prison . A judge branded the historic case 'distressing' and 'unpleasant' as he jailed the frail father-of-four. Guernsey's Royal Court heard that Pinsard was born in 1919 and claimed he had endured years sexual abuse at the Haut de la Garenne children's home. The Jersey home came under intense scrutiny in 2008 after police took statements from 192 alleged victims of historic child abuse. Pinsard joined the army after leaving Haut de La Garenne, where he realised his sexual outlook and experiences were different to other peoples. The court heard he later indecently assaulted the two young girls through curiosity and naivety. The abuse began in 1951, and the court was told the victims did not report what was happening because they were too young to understand what was happening and that they trusted Mr Pinsard. He was first questioned by Guernsey Police officers last year and immediately confessed to carrying out the abuse over a nine year period. The court heard how Pinsard touched the first girl on numerous occasions between 1951 and 1955, and the second between 1964 and 1969 at his home in St Sampson, Guernsey. In a statement read out in court Mr Pinsard admitted he felt ashamed and knew at the time what he was doing was wrong but he could not control it. Pinsard was married with four children at the time of the offences, which took place over a period of nine years and only stopped when he decided to 'stop his filthy habit'. He explained to the court how he 'didn't want to hurt any children'. His wife has now passed away, but Pinsard was accompanied to court by his son. At an earlier hearing the defendant, who uses a hearing aid, admitted nine charges of indecent assault. The Haut de La Garenne children's home in Jersey, where the paedophile claims he was abused as a young boy . Pinsard's defence asked the court to exercise extreme caution, suggesting it would be difficult for the prison to accommodate his needs and medication. In sentencing, Judge Russell Finch acknowledged it was 'a difficult situation' and took his age and health into account, stating that a younger man would have received between seven and nine years. Accounting for the risk of the defendant becoming ill and dying in Prison, Mr Finch sentenced Pinsard to two 18-month sentences in Les Nicolles prison, which will run concurrently. The Prison Officers Association have said they believed Pinsard is the oldest serving prisoner in the British Isles. Pinsard was jailed for 18 months by Judge Russell Finch at Guernsey's Royal Court (pictured)", "summary": "Gaston Pinsard, 96, admitted sexually assault two girls over 50 years ago .

Then a year later came her album, a record of songs written entirely by her rather than a compilation of cover versions, which failed to chart in the top 100. Some, including The Script frontman and former Voice coach Danny O'Donoghue, believe Leanne didn't have the right work ethic. When asked last year about Leanne's flop, he said, 'I was told by Tom Jones, and by the label as well, that Leanne just did not want to work as hard as you have to work to be a pop star.'

Amanda Burleigh was convinced that clamping the cord within seconds of delivery \u2013 shutting off the blood supply from the placenta \u2013 was wrong. Since the 1950s, when doctors and midwives started giving women a hormonal injection to reduce the risk of haemorrhage, they have clamped the cord within seconds of birth. They feared the drug \u2013 since replaced with a safer substitute \u2013 could harm the baby. But Ms Burleigh, a midwife at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, believed it was unnatural to clamp the cord when it was still visibly pulsating with blood. She said: \u2018One day I had a brainwave and thought, \u201cWe all clamp the cord within seconds of the baby being born, but we are doing it without any evidence about whether it\u2019s good or bad for the baby.\u201d' She contacted other medics, including obstetrician Dr David Hutchon, and together the group amassed evidence that stopping the blood flow so early could be harmful. One study showed immediate cord-clamping could deprive a baby of a third of its blood stock \u2013 enough to fill a medium-size wine glass. In particular, they found the practice raised the risk of iron deficiency anaemia. A tenth of all toddlers are anaemic, which is linked to delays in learning, speaking and understanding. There is also growing evidence that immediate cord-clamping can be particularly harmful for premature babies. They have finally succeeded in getting the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to change its guidelines. NICE now states that doctors and midwives should not routinely clamp the cord \u2018earlier than one minute from the birth of the baby\u2019. The cord should be clamped within five minutes, but left longer if the mother requests. Besides the medical benefits, the change means mothers get the chance to hold their babies for a moment while still connected to them. Ms Burleigh, a midwife for 26 years, said she had to overcome persistent doubts from colleagues, who asked who she was to query medical protocol. \u2018There was quite a lot of resistance from both doctors and midwives,\u2019 she said. \u2018At times I felt like a whistleblower.\u2019 There is also growing evidence that immediate cord-clamping can be particularly harmful for premature babies . However, she said she felt a \u2018moral duty\u2019 to challenge a practice that was not grounded in evidence. Dr Hutchon, now retired, said hospitals had blindly clamped and cut within seconds of birth for decades. He said: \u2018We didn\u2019t notice we were doing any harm because we were doing it to every baby.\u2019 He became interested in 2003 after hearing that more premature babies survived when the cord was not cut early. But he said there was \u2018continual resistance to change\u2019 \u2013 with some doctors refusing delayed cord-clamping even today.

Scroll down for video . Murder suspect Robert Durst and his lawyers have asked for the return of $161,000 taken during his arrest in March. Above, the suspect leaves an arraignment in New Orleans on April 14 . Authorities who arrested Durst in mid-March found $44,000, marijuana and a revolver at his hotel room in New Orleans. They also found maps of Florida and Cuba, leading some to believe he was ready for a life on the run . His lawyers say the arrest in mid-March was timed to mesh with the finale of The Jinx, HBO's six-part series about Durst, his wife's disappearance, Berman's death, and the death and dismemberment of Durst's neighbor Morris Black in 2001. Authorities found more than $44,000 in Durst's hotel room, according to legal papers filed Wednesday. After his arrest, they intercepted a package containing personal items and $117,000 that was sent to the hotel for Everette Ward \u2014 the name Durst used to register there. During a hearing last month, a prosecutor said the package of $100 bills, a head-and-chest latex mask and a map folded to show Louisiana, Florida and Cuba were evidence that Durst was likely to flee if bond was set for him. Durst (right) was arrested for the murder of his friend and writer Susan Berman (left) in 2000, which some believe he may have committed to stop her from talking to authorities about the disappearance of his wife .

Australian soldiers are embarking on a two-year mission in Iraq, but will be spending it 'behind the wire' not engaging in combat, Mr Andrews said. But during an embarrassing interview on the ABC's 7.30 program, the Mr Andrews declined to reveal the brutal regime's leader. Scroll down for video . Defence Minister Kevin Andrew was unable to name the leader of Islamic State on ABC's 7.30 . When host Leigh Sales asked him to name the terror group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Mr Andrews claimed he was unable to do so for 'operational reasons'. 'Can you name the leader of IS?' Sales asked. Mr Andrews replied: 'I'm not going to go into operational matters.' But Sales would not let him off the hook, saying: 'I don't think that's operational, I think it's a matter of public record.' Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is leader of notorious terrorist organisation Islamic State, which is wrestling to take power in Syria and Iraq . Sales continued, saying given the U.S. government had a $10 million bounty on his head, she was 'surprised' he couldn't name the terrorist leader. Mr Andrews argued I.S. did not just have one leader because it was made of many groups and there was not just one individual involved. Earlier that day, the Prime Minister announced Australian troops would return to Iraq with the aim to provide Iraqi security forces with the skills and training to defend their country, to degrade and ultimately defeat the forces of Islamic State or Daesh. Mr Andrews said Australian troops would not accompany the Iraqi forces they train into battle. 'No, they stay, to use the expression, inside the wire. They won't be going outside the Taji base. All the training will take place there,' he told ABC television. Mr Andrews was appearing on 7.30 following the Federal Government's announcement 330 troops would be leaving for Iraq . This is a stark contrast with deployments over the past decade when troops conducted sweeping patrols across southern Iraq, occasionally contacting insurgent forces. Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced on Tuesday his cabinet had given the go-ahead for deployment of Task Force Taji, 330 Australian and 100 new Zealand troops to train Iraqi soldiers for the next two years. Mr Abbott said Iraq was a dangerous place and the mission was not risk-free. The joint force deployment this week coincides with the centenary of Anzac. Mr Andrews said the mission would be reviewed continually but there would be a formal review after 12 months. He said there had been an improvement with Iraqi forces ousting Daesh from the city of Tikrit. 'So we are confident that there will be more gains over the next year to two and that's what we've made a commitment to,' he said. Mr Andrews said 5,000 Iraqi troops had already been trained by four international training missions.", "summary": "Defence Minister Kevin Andrew was unable to name leader of Islamic State .

If not, you get fighters. If you want skills and technique, play on better surfaces. \u2018They are much better in Norway. Sixty per cent are artificial and the grass pitches are better as well because they don\u2019t train there and there aren\u2019t other teams playing on them. And we play in the summer.

Call in the dogs! The appropriately named Mark Doggett has trained his two animals to sniff out the destructive fungus in old houses where it can hide in places a person would miss. Mr Doggett gave up a ten-year career in construction after hitting on the idea to set up a business using the animals\u2019 sense of smell, which is said to be up to a million times better than that of humans. Skilled: Meg and Jess, pictured with Mark Doggett, were trained for six months to sniff out dry rot .

When they find dry rot they stop, stare at it and point with their nose, only moving from the affected area when Mr Doggett gives them a special signal . After six months of training, four-year-old border collie Meg and 22-month-old English springer spaniel Jess went to work. When they find dry rot they stop, stare at it and point with their nose, only moving from the affected area when Mr Doggett gives them a special signal.

The dogs can go out to domestic properties or surveyors can hire us as part of their report. Dry rot is wood decay caused by the fungus Serpula lacrymans that digests the parts of the wood which give it strength. By the time there are visible signs, serious damage will have been done. It begins as a microscopic spore but the final stage is a fruiting body which pumps out new spores. Once airborne they can damage all parts of a property, penetrating brickwork and concrete floors seeking a wood source. If not treated, it can destroy a building. \u201cIt\u2019s not really work for the dogs \u2013 they see it as the best game in the world and they enjoy it because it\u2019s working on their natural instincts. The dogs are so effective because they can detect dry rot at much earlier stages. \u2018In hidden places dry rot can grow for years without anyone noticing it. It can be hard to find but the dogs can detect it through carpet and wall panelling. \u2018It takes a couple of minutes for the dog to search a room.

A Pew Research Center survey found that 92 percent of US teens go online daily - and 24% admit they are online constantly.

A Pew Research Center survey found that 92 percent of US teens go online daily - and 25% admit they are online constantly. The Pew researcher revealed household incomes can influence which social network children use. That includes 56 percent who are online several times a day and 24 percent who say they are connected to the Internet and social networks 'almost constantly.' A key factor is the growing prevalence of smartphones. The survey of teens between the ages of 13 and 17 found that 73 percent had a smartphone and 30 percent had at least a basic cellphone. Even though 87 percent of teens have access to a computer, 91 percent went online daily using a mobile device at least occasionally, Pew found. The survey found that African-American and Hispanic youth are among the most active Internet users. Among African-American teens, 34 percent reported going online 'almost constantly' as did 32 percent of Hispanic youth and 19 percent of white teens. 'American teens, especially African-American youth, have embraced smartphones and the 24/7 access to people and information that they offer,' said Amanda Lenhart, a Pew researcher and the lead author of the report. Some 90 percent of teens with phones exchange text messages, with a typical teenager receiving 30 texts per day, Pew found. And one-third of those with smartphones use messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Kik. The researchers found Facebook remains the dominant social media network for young Americans despite the rise of new platforms. Among the teens surveyed, 71 percent said they used Facebook, with Instagram -- owned by Facebook -- the number two social media service used by 52 percent. Among the teens surveyed, Facebook was still the most popular . Asked about other social media, 41 percent of teens said they use Snapchat, 33 percent named Twitter and Google Plus, 24 percent were on Twitter-owned Vine and 14 percent used Yahoo-owned Tumblr. The figures appear to allay concerns that Facebook is being abandoned by youth as more older Internet users join the world's biggest social network. 'Even as Facebook remains an important platform for a majority of teens, Instagram is commanding the attention of half of teens, and Snapchat nearly that number,' said Lenhart. 'There are some interesting differentials in the most frequently used social platforms, with lower income teens using Facebook more often, while wealthier teens -- while still using Facebook -- are more likely than less wealthy teens to report that they use Snapchat or Twitter most often.'

A new study claims these 'taxibots' could cut the number of cars needed to perform the same number of journeys per day by 90 per cent. The finding comes amid reports that companies such as Google and Uber are working on technology to develop driverless taxis. Scroll down for video . Car-congested cities could become a thing of the past, provided people are prepared to ride-share with a robot driver. Pictured is an interior view of a Google self-driving car showing the video and the data the car uses to 'see' the road. Google is believed to be working on technology for self-driving cabs, but hasn't revealed details . The study, by Paris-based Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development used data from Lisbon in Portugal. By plugging the data into a computer model, they simulated how such self-driving, communal cabs would affect traffic. Even with only one passenger per ride and no complementary public transport, the number of cars still dropped by 77 per cent. The authors said replacing personal cars with self-driving cabs would also free valuable real estate currently used for public parking - equivalent to over 200 football pitches in Lisbon\u2019s case. Major technology firms are already banking on self-driving taxis to be the future of transportation. Even with only one passenger per ride and no complementary public transport, the number of cars still dropped by 77 per cent. In this image is one Google's autonomous vehicles pictured with Google Chairman Eric Schmidt (left) and US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx (right) Last year, for instance, ride-sharing service Uber said it could replace all of its drivers with autonomous vehicles. CEO Travis Kalanick admitted the technology would keep costs down, and these savings could then be passed on to its customers. Corey Clothier, who is co-ordinating the trials told DailyMail.com that an accident involved a driverless car is inevitable - although he added none have taken place in his pilots. 'Systems will fail, people's judgements will fail,' he said. 'If someone jumps out from a blind spot from a vehicle, if it can't stop, it can't stop.' A recent report by the Institution of Engineering and Technology highlighted research that showed human drivers change their behaviour when using the same roads as autonomous cars. Motorists were found to copy the driving style of the computer controlled cars by leaving less space between them and the vehicle in front, but were less able to react quickly. However, many experts say that driverless cars could actually reduce the risk of accidents as computers are able to react a lot faster than humans. Google has also been teaching its vehicles to drive more safely by giving them instructions on 'defensive driving' styles. They have also been experimenting with teaching the vehicles 'body language' to communicate with other drivers what its intentions are.

A private hospital in Harley Street says that increasing numbers of people are seeking its help after being given bad advice or poor treatment elsewhere. And it says it is now time for the industry to be \u2018taken to task\u2019. A leading private eye hospital is calling for tighter regulations on laser eye surgery after noting a rise in the number of people who have been given inaccurate information or poor care. Up to 120,000 Britons have laser eye surgery each year to correct long and short-sightedness, and almost one in 20 of them suffer some sort of complication.Most operations are done privately, with patients paying up to \u00a35,000 to have both eyes corrected. Last year, the consumer group Which? warned that not all clinics are properly explaining the risks involved. Regret: Law graduate Lois Roberts . Law graduate Lois Roberts said that surgery to correct her short-sightedness left her in agony. She suffered from painfully dry eyes after she had the laser treatment, which was caused by damage to the nerves that stimulate tears. And in the years after the procedure, Miss Roberts said she had to apply eye drops every day to alleviate the pain, which in itself can bring on chronic eye inflammation. Miss Roberts had used contact lenses and glasses since she was at primary school but found they were a nuisance when playing sport. She had the \u00a31,500 treatment as part of her 21st birthday present in 2010. But it wasn\u2019t the pain-free experience she was promised. She said: \u2018I\u2019m upset I wasn\u2019t warned enough at my initial consultation that anything like this could happen. I would have thought much harder about it had I known the risks.\u2019 Miss Roberts, from Gwynedd in North Wales, suffered from poor night vision and \u2018floaters\u2019 in the years after she had the surgery. \u2018The floaters are like clumps of black lines and dots,\u2019 she said. \u2018I\u2019ve been reassured they\u2019re harmless, but they are incredibly annoying.\u2019 Floaters can occur as a result of a popular form of laser surgery in which a flap is cut into the surface of the cornea \u2014 the clear, domed part of the eyeball. Poor night-time vision can occur if part of the cornea has been lasered incorrectly. Despite the side effects, the procedure did correct Miss Roberts\u2019 vision. Its investigation found that one in three consultations by clinics offering the treatment was of poor quality. Now, surgeons are speaking out. They say that despite the term \u2018laser eye surgery\u2019, the procedure doesn\u2019t have to be done by a surgeon or even someone with specialist eye knowledge. Instead, all that is required is that the person doing the operation is qualified as a doctor of some sort.

Lucy Southern, who worked behind the bar at the hotel owned by Britannia Hotels in Leeds, was quizzed about her sex life and asked whether she wore stockings in bed by her line manager Alex Nkoroi.

Lucy Southern worked for Britannia Hotels and claims she quizzed about her sex life and groped by her line manager Alex Nkoroi . She also claimed he stood behind her to 'grind' up and down her back, simulating sex. He later stroked her back and prodded her in a private area with a pen, the hearing was told. At a meeting with the hotel manager, James Whittaker she told him: 'I didn't want to say anything in case he gave me less shifts. 'I feel like I have to get on with him so that I get my hours.' Ms Southern, who was 22 at the time and no longer works at the hotel, added: 'If I take back what I said about Alex I can just get my hours back can't I?' In the judgement of the panel, which found both Nkoroi and Brittania Hotels guilty of sex discrimination by way of harassment but cleared them of indirect sex discrimination, the tribunal stated: 'The claimant was a casual member of staff. 'She had a zero hours contract and it was certainly her belief whether right or wrong that the second respondent (Nkoroi) would be able to influence the number of hours that she would be given to work.

British scientists have discovered an \u2018Achilles\u2019 heel\u2019 in prostate cancer which could lead to better treatments. The disease claims almost 11,000 lives a year in the UK, with most deaths occurring after it spreads around the body. The latest study gets to the root of this spread, and could mean better outcomes for the 42,000 men a year diagnosed with the illness. Scientists funded by Cancer Research UK studied samples taken from tumours in the prostate and around the body in ten affected men. Reading the DNA revealed details of how the cancer metastasises, or spreads, allowing them to build a \u2018family tree\u2019 of how the disease changes over time. It seems that most of the cells in a tumour stay where they are. However, a small number have the ability to travel through the body, creating new tumours as they go. These cells are the \u2018root\u2019 of the cancer and for a treatment to work, they should be destroyed. In future, doctors may be able to find these key cells in individual patients. They could then be given drugs to wipe them out, with each patient\u2019s treatment tailored to the genetic flaw at the root of their cancer. This should kill the new tumours and prevent more from forming, greatly improving odds of survival. Cambridge University researcher Professor David Neal said some suitable drugs already exist, and that new ones are being developed all the time. However, he cautioned that it will be three to five years before the latest knowledge can be routinely put to use in the NHS. Lead study author Professor Ros Eeles, from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, said: \u2018We gained a much broader view of prostate cancer by studying both the original cancer and the cells that had spread to other parts of the body. \u2018We found that all of the cells that had broken free shared a common ancestor cell in the prostate. \u2018The common faults we found in each man could potentially offer new targets for treatment.\u2019 Co-author Dr Ultan McDermott, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridgeshire, described the finding as a \u2018potential Achilles\u2019 heel\u2019.

However, Mugabe failed to see the funny side and reportedly had no fewer than 27 bodyguards suspended for failing to stop his embarrassing fall.

An emotional Holder, who has served as the nation's top law enforcement official since the start of the Obama administration, addressed hundreds of lawyers and staff members one day after his successor, Loretta Lynch, was confirmed by the Senate following a months-long delay. 'I am proud of you. I'm going to miss you. I am going to miss this building. I am going to miss this institution.

Attorney General Eric Holder waved to Justice Department employees during his farewell gathering in Washington on Friday, ending six years at the DOJ . Holder shook hands and received hugs from well-wishers on his last day as attorney general . Newly confirmed Attorney General-designate Loretta Lynch will take over from Holder, following a months-long delay of her Senate confirmation vote \u2013 which passed on Thursday with 'yes' votes from 10 Republicans . The event also included a tribute video prepared for the occasion that featured members of Congress, former President Bill Clinton and Holder's wife, Sharon Malone. In it, Holder described an 'emotional attachment' to the department and recounted efforts to protect civil rights, prosecute terror suspects in federal court and change the criminal justice system. Other clips showed President Barack Obama showering Holder with praise on the day Holder announced his departure. Holder, a former judge and U.S. attorney who took the job in 2009, will exit the department as the third-longest serving attorney general in U.S. history. He has not publicly announced what he'll be doing next. After Lynch, 55, is sworn in at the Justice Department on Monday, she is likely to continue some of the same agenda as Holder as the Obama administration draws to a close. But she is expected to bring to Washington her own management style and has spoken optimistically about having cooperative relationships with Congress following years of bitter feuding with Republicans who saw Holder as overly political and once held him in contempt. Holder's tenure was in many ways defined by his efforts on civil rights protections. His department challenged state laws that it saw as restricting access to the voting booth and refused to defend the constitutionality of a federal law banning recognition of gay marriage. Holder also pushed for changes in the criminal justice system, directing prosecutors to sharply limit their use of harsh mandatory minimum sentences and championing alternatives to prison for nonviolent drug defendants. Though Holder sees civil rights as a defining element of his legacy, his early years largely centered on national security concerns as the country confronted several terror plots, including a failed effort to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day in 2009.

Only last month, manager Manuel Pellegrini described him as a 'phenomenon' and English football\u2019s 'most complete player' in a clear attempt to persuade him to stay at the Etihad. 'Milner is a phenomenon, a guy with big balls and a heart this big,' said Pellegrini. 'I hope he stays. If he doesn\u2019t, it will be because there\u2019s an important offer [from elsewhere].' Milner though has made just 13 Premier League starts from 31 games - less than Jesus Navas, Yaya Toure, David Silva, Samir Nasri, Fernandinho and Fernando - and wants more regular football. Brendan Rodgers is keen for Milner, pictured in 2012, to help fill the void left by the outgoing Steven Gerrard . Liverpool began their pursuit of Milner almost 12 months ago and a move to Merseyside would tick many boxes. Milner would not have to uproot his young family from their home in Hale and would be offered the chance to play in his favoured central midfield position. As a free transfer, he will command a deal that matches or exceeds his current \u00a3120,000 a week salary at City. Arsenal and Everton have also expressed interest while Inter Milan, Roma and Valencia are also in the race for his signature. Milner will not make a firm choice though until after City\u2019s final game of the campaign against Southampton for what could be the last major contract of his career.", "summary": "Manchester City midfielder James Milner is out of contract in the summer .

The case of Shona Banda, 37, was forwarded on Monday to the Finney County district attorney's office for a decision about charges, Garden City Police Capt. Randy Ralston said. Possible charges include possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and child endangerment. No arrests have been made. Medical marijuana activist Shona Banda, 37, has said she will continue to fight for custody of her 11-year-old son after Kansas authorities placed the boy into protective custody .

When Aston Villa's animated manager threw his gilet to the ground in celebration at the sight of Christian Benteke's first half equaliser, he probably rather hoped his players were man enough to remain in the Barclays Premier League after all. Indeed when he then saw Benteke convert the second of his three goals after 33 minutes, he may have felt his damning critique on Monday had provoked exactly the response he was looking for. But the grit, desire and determination his forwards had demonstrated was lacking at the opposite end of the field and a QPR side every bit as desperate to maintain their top flight status did a fine job of exposing exactly the weaknesses Sherwood had highlighted.

Sherwood walked off the pitch at half-time with his hands planted casually in his pockets, comforted by the fact that his side were sitting five points clear of relegation danger. But when Charlie Austin followed Chint Hill's second half equaliser with a third goal for the visitors, Villa had replaced Chris Ramsey's spirited side in the bottom three. Only 12 minutes remained, and even if Benteke required just five more minutes to score again with a terrific free-kick the overriding feeling in the Villa ranks was certainly more one of frustration than relief. Benteke did not look like a man who wanted to enjoy his hat-trick at the sound of the final whistle. On the contrary, he looked devastated. Both sides have some difficult games ahead but when Tottenham and Manchester City come next for Villa, there is plenty to concern Sherwood. A replay of QPR's goals will not make pleasant viewing. The failure to close down Bobby Zamora before he delivered the cross that enabled Matt Phillips to strike after only seven minutes. The failure to challenge Hill and so stop him scoring his first Premier League goal.

Recent legislation has given women more rights in golf clubs, while St Andrews and Royal St George's have both voted to admit female members for the first time. But Alliss told the Radio Times magazine that equality for women had 'b******* up the game for a lot of people'.

'There's been a hell of a row because four golf courses that hold the Open Championship didn't have women members,' he said. 'I'm told the Ladies Golf Union has lost 150,000 members since equality for women came in. Hundreds of women have left golf clubs because they've gone from paying half fare to full fare. It's caused mayhem. 'All of the wives of members at these clubs could have used the facilities for free. When I was at Muirfield a couple of years ago talking to a few of the lady members, I said, \"What about this equality? You must be happy about that?\" \"God no,\" they said. \"We can come here and do what we like, we can play golf and don't pay anything\".' He added: 'The equality thing is a great part of golf. Equality for women: a few people battled away to get it, they got it, and they have b******* up the game for a lot of people.' Alliss' comments come as the 2016 Open Championship will be the last to be broadcast live on the BBC before Sky Sports takes over. The former professional golfer, 84, told the magazine: 'I very much regret that the BBC has lost the Open Championship, but I said it might do 10 years ago.' He admitted that the BBC could not compete with Sky's deep pockets but added: 'I don't think there were enough people at the BBC dealing with the negotiations who cared enough. 'I can think of a couple of heads of sport from years ago who would have battled harder. But, having said that, when people get used to it I think the highlights will be wonderfully supported.' Alliss defended his style from critics, saying: 'I think they just don't like my delivery. They either think I waffle on, or don't know enough about the young players coming up. '\"You're living in the past! You're one of the old Colonel Blimp school: must wear a tie to go and have a pee in the clubhouse.\" That sort of thing. 'I think I've moved very well with the times.

On the big screen: The 1988 movie 'Mystic Pizza,' starring (from left to right) Annabeth Gish, Lili Taylor and Julia Roberts, focused on three waitresses working at the pizza restaurant . Prosecutors said he's agreed to paying $234,407 in restitution over the tax returns along with interest and penalties.

So, from the start, Raheem Sterling\u2019s explanation for the end of his conversations with Liverpool did not stand up. It isn\u2019t the talks that are the distraction. It is the thinking. No player is sat in an office haggling over image rights, only to check his watch at 3.30pm and bolt out of the door. A player may feel uncertainty about his future. His brain may whirl over where he will play next season. Liverpool? Arsenal? Abroad? Yet postponing the process to the end of the season doesn\u2019t solve that issue. If anything, it makes it worse. If Sterling wanted to stop thinking right now, he could sign his new deal or tell Liverpool to come back in a year. He has, after all, got more than two seasons left on his existing arrangement.

Sterling (right) has confirmed that he rejected an offer of \u00a3100,000-a-week to stay at Liverpool . The 20-year-old gave an interview to the BBC on Wednesday giving his reasons for his decision . So all Sterling did, the day his advisers ended negotiations until May at the earliest, was complicate his affairs. It is not as if he will be able to forget about the decision in the coming weeks, particularly as his stance appears to have damaged his relationship with Liverpool\u2019s supporters. Without doubt, they were dissatisfied with his attitude even before this week\u2019s ill-conceived BBC interview. As Liverpool\u2019s hopes of a Champions League place next season became increasingly remote with the home defeat against Manchester United, Sterling bore the brunt of the dissent. In truth, his performance was little worse than any of his team-mates that day - but he is the one who is seen as disloyal, as rejecting at the first opportunity the club and manager that have best developed his game. Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers have done well by Sterling. They made him a key player in last season\u2019s title near miss, got him to the World Cup. He owes them a little more respect than has been displayed in recent weeks. He owes them enough to know it is downright rude to talk of being flattered by Arsenal just days before the teams meet.

Sterling has played in various positions this season under Rodgers - including as a striker and at wing back . Among the reasons advanced for Sterling\u2019s coldness towards a long-term commitment at Liverpool has been Rodgers\u2019s recent decision to play him at right wing back.

Floyd Mayweather rang his car dealer at 3am to order a \u00a31.5million Bugatti to be delivered in 12 hours . Obi Okele, the owner of Fusion Luxury Motors, was given the task of getting Mayweather the Bugatti . He said: 'The most challenging thing I've ever done for Floyd is when he called me at three o'clock in the morning and said, Obi, I want a Bugatti and I want one in my driveway in 12 hours. 'I then showered, went into my office, did some work and hopped on a plane and got the car, in his driveway, in 11 hours and that makes me a better person, it makes me work harder, it makes me not limit myself, so those are the things that rub off on me from him.' It's not the only request that Okele has had to deal with from Mayweather's extravagant demands, as the fighter once turned up at the dealership at 2am - walking out with a Ferrari Enzo. 'I got a call from overseas in the Middle East that there was a US-spec Enzo for sale, so I hopped on a plane and flew to Abu Dhabi. I then transacted the car and put it in a Boeing 777 passenger plane and flew it out of Abu Dhabi. 'So Floyd came to the dealership and he kept coming and looking at the car. Then he came in one night around two in the morning and said, \"Obi, I wanna buy two Ferrari 458s,\" and that's what he said. 'Then I said OK, then he pauses for a minute and goes, \"Obi, I'm not going to buy them 458s, I want to buy that Enzo and I want to buy it now.

Cosmic rays constantly bombard Earth\u2019s atmosphere, and there have been some suggestions they could even trigger lightning. But this particular experiment observed how cosmic rays were affected by lightning as they passed through it - providing information on the electrical field of a given storm. Scientists in The Netherlands were using the Lofar radio telescope. They found it could measure changes in lightning caused by cosmic rays (illustrated). A storm can have hundreds of millions of volts over multiple kilometres. The method could provide a novel way to understand thunderclouds . The experiment was conducted using the Lofar (Low-Frequency Array) radio telescope in the Netherlands. Researchers found, almost by accident, that cosmic rays were a suitable probe to measure electric fields within thunderclouds. High in the atmosphere, the rays strike atmospheric molecules and create \u2018showers\u2019 of elementary particles - the smallest known to exist. A long-standing puzzle in astrophysics is the source of ultra-high-energy particles from space that hit Earth. Called cosmic rays, they're up to a billion times more energetic than particles at Cern's Large Hadron Collider. They strike the atmosphere and cause an enormous shower of other particles, mostly muons, electrons and photons, over a wide area. Though they were discovered decades ago, cosmic rays at these high energies are very rare, making it difficult to pinpoint where in the universe they originated. It's thought that some come from supernovae, but it's likely there are other sources of cosmic rays in the universe as well. These showers can be measured from the radio emissions that are generated when they interact with Earth\u2019s magnetic field. By measuring this during a thunderstorm, the researchers found they could find out information about the electric field in a thundercloud as it affected the radio emissions. It was found to be as strong as 50 kilovolts per one metre (3.3ft) - which translates into a voltage of hundreds of millions of volts over multiple kilometres, an enormous amount of energy. 'We modeled how the electric field in thunderstorms can explain the different measurements,\u2019 said researcher Dr Pim Schellart from Radboud University in the Netherlands. \u2018This worked very well. How the radio emission changes gives us a lot of information about the electric fields in thunderstorms. \u2018We could even determine the strength of the electric field at a certain height in the cloud.\u2019 Though they were discovered decades ago, cosmic rays at these high energies are very rare, making it difficult to pinpoint where in the universe they originated. It's thought that some come from supernovae (illustrated), but it's likely there are other sources of cosmic rays in the universe as well . Lightning is a highly unpredictable natural phenomenon that inflicts damage to infrastructure and claims many victims around the world each year. This new method to measure electric fields in thunderclouds will contribute to a better understanding and ultimately better predictions of lightning activity.

Researchers behind the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index say the number of uninsured Americans is now at a record low.

But marking a shift in the trend, for the first three months of this year the rate dropped to 11.9per cent. Whether the new findings turn out to be a high-water mark for President Barack Obama's health care law, or a milestone on the path toward his goal of getting virtually all U.S. residents covered, remains to be seen. Underlining a change across the nation, nearly nine in ten adults now say they have health insurance, according to an extensive survey released Monday . The law's future is still up in the air, and will turn on factors ranging from an upcoming Supreme Court decision on consumer subsidies to actions by Republican leaders in states opposed to Medicaid expansion. The latest update from the Gallup-Healthways survey overlaps with the period when the health law's second sign-up season was winding down. Coverage gains from 2014-2015 translate to about 3.6 million fewer adults uninsured since the fall, before open enrollment got under way, according to Gallup. 'The Affordable Care Act had three major objectives: increase coverage, slow the rate of increase in costs, and improve health,' said Dan Witters, research director for the poll. 'The first one is clearly a win. Coverage is increasing; there is no question about it.' On balance, an estimated 14.75 million adults have gained coverage since the fall of 2013, when the law's first open enrollment season was about to begin, according to Gallup. The uninsured rate lowest since Gallup and Healthways began tracking in 2008 . 'A big outstanding question is what will happen over the next couple of years,' said Larry Levitt, a health insurance expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. 'To meet expectations, enrollment has to continue to grow and push the number of uninsured down.' The Gallup-Healthways survey is closely followed because it combines the depth of government-sponsored research with the timeliness of media polls. Pollsters interview 500 people a day, nearly every day of the year. One of the questions they ask is whether people have health insurance. The health care law offers subsidized private insurance for people who don't have access to job-based coverage, combined with an expansion of Medicaid aimed at low-income adults in states that accept it. Big states like Florida and Texas are among those refusing to expand Medicaid. The law requires nearly all Americans to have coverage, either through an employer, a government program, or by purchasing their own plan. Those remaining uninsured risk fines. It also provides subsidies to help low-to moderate-income people buy their own insurance.

Steeped in human misery, these huts once contained the bodies of thousands of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Nazi opponents and the disabled, sent to an inhuman death by Adolf Hitler and his demented regime. Diarist Anne Frank, and her sister Margot, also died here. Shortly after the camp was liberated by British and Canadian troops in 1945, it was torched, and at least part of that suffering was destroyed forever as the buildings, along with the Reichskriegs flag and Hitler portrait which adorned them, were consumed by flames. These hellish images, which were taken by British Reverend Charles Martin King Parsons, captured that poignant moment in history for future generations to remember.

Anne Frank, whose diaries of persecution at the hands of the Nazis became the defining account of the Holocaust, was just one of Bergen-Belsen's many victims. Frank was living in the Netherlands when the Nazis seized it in 1940, leaving them trapped. In 1942 they were forced into hiding in secret rooms hidden inside Otto Frank's office building. They spent two years there, but were anonymously betrayed and sent to the concentration camps. Anne, and her sister Margot, were taken to Bergen-Belsen, where they died of typhus in February 1945, just months before the Allies liberated it.

Most eyes before kick-off were on Welsh international Flower as he prepared to make his return from a six-month suspension imposed for punching Lance Hohaia in October's Grand Final defeat by St Helens. And the Wigan fans were delighted at half-time when the club announced the re-signing of Tomkins on a four-year deal from New Zealand Warriors, starting next season. Wigan winger Dom Manfredi scored a hat-trick for the second time in five days . All eyes were on Ben Flower on Thursday night as he made his return from a six-month ban after being sent off for punching Lance Hohaia in the opening moments of Wigan's Grand Final defeat by St Helens last October. RECEPTION: Flower's name was greeted with huge cheers when the team announcement was made 10 minutes before kick-off and there was a deafening roar 23 minutes into the match when he made his entrance, with Wigan fans on their feet for a standing ovation. PERFORMANCE: The Welshman came up with a knock-on four minutes into his return and clearly looked rusty after his lengthy lay-off. He produced some strong charges, however, and did his fair share of tackling before taking a breather after 32 minutes. Flower later returned for the last four minutes, by which time his side were firmly in charge. OVERALL: A steady if unspectacular return for the former Crusaders front rower in a match dominated by the tryscoring prowess of his young outside back team-mates. Unsurprisingly rusty at times, he will be better for his 36-minute contribution, made in two spells. By the end of a pulsating derby, however, it was the name of 21-year-old Manfredi which was on most people's lips after he scored a second hat-trick in five days. Manfredi had touched down three times in Wigan's 34-0 win over Catalans Dragons on Sunday and he once more demonstrated his exceptional ability to finish off the Wolves after they had taken the lead for a third time early in the second half. Warrington could hardly have made a better start, scoring two tries inside the first 10 minutes as they monopolised the early play. Skipper Joel Monaghan had gone close in the opening moments after gathering Richie Myler's high kick to the corner and he enjoyed an unopposed run-in after taking Stefan Ratchford's cut-out pass to open the scoring. Ratchford added the touchline conversion and the visitors increased their lead when Chris Bridge went through the attempted tackle of his opposite number Dan Sarginson for the first of his two tries. Wigan barely had touched the ball at that stage but they quickly demonstrated their attacking flair with two superbly-crafted touchdowns. Stand-off George Williams came up with a break for the first but it was a magnificent final pass from winger Joe Burgess that enabled England second rower Liam Farrell to finish off the move .

Forecasters added that temperatures have been below freezing in the area every day this week, with the coldest temperature recorded at about -7C. There is also likely to be heavy snowfall on the peak, with 32mm of snow and rain falling over the last 32 hours.

The well-off buying up homes in tourist hotspots has also driven up property values, leaving local people priced out of the areas where they grew up. Nick Clegg - steps off a fishing boat as he visits Newlyn Harbour, near Penzance, Cornwall today - said wealthy people with holiday homes would not mind having to 'chip in a bit' to protect services in areas where as many as one in 10 homes are vacant for much of the year . Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg holds a cod at the Newlyn Fish Market in Cornwall this morning after unveiling his plan to save popular rural areas from the blight of second home owners . Under the Lib Dem plan, launched in Cornwall today, local authorities would have the power to charge 200 per cent council tax. The levy would be used in part to deter people from buying holiday homes in the first place, but the money generated could be used to support schools, post officers and other services which can become unviable without sufficient permanent residents. The double council tax would not be compulsory, but councils in areas like Cumbria, Cornwall and Devon have said they would be interested in the idea to 'discourage' second home ownership. On a campaign visit in St Austell, Cornwall, Mr Clegg said the move could help 'particularly in such a wonderful part of the country as this where there are so many people with second homes and where the prices because of that are way beyond the reach of many young people wanting to get their feet on the first rung of the property ladder'.

Silva this week expressed his desire to represent Brazil in the 2016 Games, and local taekwondo officials said they like the idea of having the MMA fighter on the team. The Brazilian taekwondo confederation said Wednesday that 'this wonderful possibility' of Silva competing in the Olympics will be discussed next week between the fighter and local officials. Anderson Silva (right) will meet with taekwondo officials in the hope of competing in next year's Olympics . The 40-year-old Silva began his career as a taekwondo fighter and is a black belt in the sport. He is an ambassador for taekwondo in Brazil. Silva, who is currently suspended by UFC after failing drug tests, said in a letter to the taekwondo confederation that it would be 'an immense pleasure' to be part of the Brazilian team in Rio. 'Everybody knows that every top athlete dreams about the Olympic Games,' Silva said. 'As an ambassador to the sport, and with the games taking place in my country, I'm even more motivated by the Olympic spirit.' Silva said he would compete with all his 'esteem, strength and honor.' On Wednesday, he posted on his official Twitter account a photo of himself practicing taekwondo. Silva tested positive for two steroids in an out-of-competition test Jan. 9, and also failed a test after his UFC victory over Nick Diaz on Jan. 31. The 40-year-old Brazilian posted a photo of himself practising taekwondo on Wednesday . The Brazilian later said in a statement that he always 'played clean' and 'never used any substances' to improve his performances, and that he was 'still waiting for the results and analysis from the specialists that are working to reveal the truth.' Silva has a hearing scheduled for May on the doping allegations. Silva is considered one of the best pound-for-pound mixed martial arts fighters in the history of the sport, . The former middleweight champion returned to the cage in January after breaking his lower left leg more than a year ago. He beat Diaz but the victory was quickly overshadowed by the doping headlines that surfaced shortly after the fight. Silva delivers a flying knee against Nick Diaz in their middleweight bout in Las Vegas in January . According to the Brazilian taekwondo confederation, its president Carlos Fernandes was 'pleased' to receive Silva's proposal, but many details still must be discussed before his participation in the games can become a reality. There are doubts about Silva's eligibility for the games, as well as about his form, considering he hasn't competed in taekwondo events in a long time. 'He is a great MMA athlete, but taekwondo has its own characteristics, so I'm sure he is not ready yet to compete for a spot in the team,' Lucas Ferreira, one of the other Brazilian taekwondo fighters hoping to participate in the Olympics, told Globoesporte.com.

Her father, Peter, reported her missing after she failed to turn up to work in the canteen of the University of York for her 6am shift. Detectives previously questioned a man in his 50s from York in March in connection with Ms Lawrence's murder. He remains on police bail. A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: 'Although they have been released from custody, proceedings in this case - as they relate to them - remain active.' Officers confirmed that Ms Lawrence's parents have been kept informed of current developments. Detectives are currently looking for evidence which could lead to the discovery of Ms Lawrence's body. Specialist teams of forensic officers have searched three locations in the York area looking for evidence. Detectives began reviewing the case in 2013 and have since carried out a number of searches, including a detailed re-examination of Miss Lawrence's home, in the Heworth area of York, and a fingertip search of an alleyway that leads to the rear of the house. They have also issued previously unseen CCTV footage of two people walking near the house. The new arrests, and the arrest in March, are understood to be linked to these lines of inquiry.

Alexandra Allen, 17, from Utah suffers with the condition aquagenic urticaria. Showers have to be quick and cold - long soaks in the bath are out of the question because they trigger burning inflammation . The symptoms can last from a few hours to a week after exposure, reports Deseret News. Alexandra first realized she had the condition when she developed hives after spending time in a hot tub while on vacation. A person with Aquagenic Urticaria is essentially allergic to water. After coming into contact with water - or blood, sweat and tears - the sufferer develops painful, itchy hives that spread over the affected area. These can last anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour-and-a-half. Some sufferers have to lie down to let the pain subside. Investigators believe the hives are not caused by a histamine release but are the result of extreme skin sensitivity to additives in water such as chlorine. The condition is extremely rare and is thought to affect around 35 known people in the world. There is no proven treatment, but dermatologists recommend staying out of the water as much as possible. Sufferers should also take short showers, stay cool and avoid rain. Dermatologists say those with the condition can ease the burn of the hives with certain antihistamines. Then she was admitted to hospital with internal bleeding and painful joints, and unable to breathe after a trip to Flaming Gorge which has water activities. It took a while for her diagnosis to be made. When Elizabeth was about 15 she came across a medical site that discussed aquagenic urticaria - when she suggested it to her dermatologist he agreed that it was her condition. She now avoids water as much as she can. 'It's not worth it anymore,' Alexandra said to Deseret News. 'It's both emotionally strenuous and physically painful. I can't let myself go there.' Although sweat is dangerous, she now works against it by exercising only in cooler temperatures to keep her body from producing too much oil, sweat. It also helps as less sweating means she won't have to shower as she is only allowed three a week. 'It feels like your skin has been sandpapered down until there's only one layer left and it itches, but you can't itch it or it will break and burn and bleed,' she said. 'You just feel like you've been dipped in a vat of acid, not for long, but for long enough to tear off a layer of skin.' The condition, which can in some people trigger potentially a deadly anaphylactic shock, usually gets worse as sufferers get older.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the Iran nuclear deal, claiming it threatens the Jewish state and puts his people in mortal danger . One of Netanyahu's scathing comments was shared on his Twitter page during his speech . The preliminary agreement set out a framework where Iran would scale down plans to enrich uranium and make weapons-grade plutonium in return for Western powers dropping stringent economic sanctions. They will also be subjected to inspections. If they are found to be in violation of the terms, the sanctions will be put back in place.

But exactly how this wind movement forms the structures is disputed. One theory, suggested by Steven Hanna in 1969 in his Formation of Longitudinal Sand Dunes by Large Helical Eddies in the Atmosphere paper, is that linear dunes are created by helical roll vortices. These are long rolls of air that spiral, or rotate one way before rotating another. They are commonly seen in clouds, creating what's known as 'cloud streets' that appear as cumulus-type clouds. As the wind moves and switches direction it causes the sand to move accordingly and create grooves and ridges in the sand. 'The dunes are aligned in the direction of the prevailing wind and are spaced 1.2 miles (2km apart)', explained Professor Hanna.

But a police poster advising women to stick together on a night out provoked anger yesterday, as campaigners claimed it suggested victims were responsible for sex attacks. Sussex Police was accused of \u2018victim-blaming\u2019 in its campaign, which urges women not to leave their friends alone or let them wander off with strangers. Women\u2019s rights groups said rapists were to blame for sex attacks, not their victims. Anti-rape campaigners have criticised the message in this Sussex Police poster arguing it implies that victims are to blame for getting raped . But the poster won praise from supporters who said it was \u2018blindingly obvious\u2019 that it was not blaming women, and that it simply offered \u2018sensible advice\u2019. It features a picture of two smiling young women posing for a selfie, with the text: \u2018Which one of your mates is most vulnerable on a night out? The one you leave behind.\u2019 It goes on: \u2018Many sexual assaults could be prevented. Stick together and don\u2019t let your friend leave with a stranger or go off on their own.\u2019 But anti-rape campaigners said police should target potential attackers instead, and that the poster sent a message that women needed a constant chaperone. Sarah Green, acting director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said she found the advice \u2018infuriating\u2019.

The German Chancellor demanded a new European Union system that distributes asylum-seekers to member states based on their population and economic strength. The call comes as Europe struggles with the growing refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, where hundreds have died in recent days trying to get from northern Africa to Italy. Scroll down for video . German Chancellor Angela Merkel has demanded a new European Union system that distributes asylum-seekers to member states based on their population and economic strength . David Cameron insisted at an emergency EU summit on Thursday that the UK would not take any of the refugees \u2013 because it was already doing its part by virtue of having the continent's largest aid and defence budgets. Mrs Merkel's call would however mean that Britain, one of the most populous countries in the UK and one of its most economically successful, would be expected to take in more people. Speaking at a campaign event ahead of state elections in Bremen, she said yesterday that the EU's own rules on asylum-seekers are not working. She called for the current rules, known as the Dublin regulations, to be scrapped. 'The Dublin rules need to be changed,' she told fellow EU leaders. 'Five member states account for three-quarters of all asylum-seekers' under the present system. Under the Dublin regulations, refugees have to claim asylum in the first EU country they enter, and cannot pick and choose between member states. But Germany has long accused southern EU countries of ignoring the rules and encouraging asylum-seekers to move on. The majority of refugees arrive on Europe's southern shores after crossing the Mediterranean. The border free Schengen Area means they can easily move onto to other EU countries, despite the rules. The German government is believed to be particularly concerned that the Italian authorities are not doing enough to register asylum-seekers who arrive there. The European leaders gathered this week for an emergency meeting in Brussels in the wake of the tragedy in the Mediterranean. Pictured from left is Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron . Germany believes it is being made to bear an disproportionate burden of asylum-seekers lured there by its strong economy. In 2014, Germany received 173,070 asylum applications, more than twice as many as any other EU country. In the same period, the UK received 31,260 applications, according to UN refugee agency. Her remarks came a day after Mr Cameron flatly ruled out Britain taking part in an voluntary EU scheme to 'resettle' north African migrants throughout the continent. He told his counterparts at the EU summit that the UK is already 'playing its part' in the region through the aid budget and offer of ships, and takes in its 'fair share' of refugees compared to other member states.

Aside from seeking to stop the procedure, Hironimus is trying to avoid her own arrest. Her arrest was ordered after she fled in February and ignored a judge's demand that she appear in court and allow the circumcision to go forward.

They were never married but share custody of their child. In a parenting agreement filed in court, the two agreed to the boy's circumcision. Hironimus later changed her mind, giving way to a long court battle. Circuit and appellate judges have sided with Nebus, but potential surgeons have backed out after failing to get the mother's consent and becoming the target of anti-circumcision protesters. Though circumcision remains popular in Judeo-Christian tradition, religion had not been a driver in seeking the cutting of the boy's foreskin in this case.

In the new filing, though, Hironimus tries to use the child's faith as a defense against the surgery, saying he is a Christian and citing New Testament passages to bolster her case that the practice is discouraged by their beliefs. Both parents have been under a gag order since December. Hironimus' attorney, Thomas Hunker, told the Associated Press that he couldn't reveal where his client was, but that she was fighting on behalf of a child who is frightened by the idea of undergoing surgery.

As revealed in BBC's Stacey Dooley Investigates, which aired last night, poverty-stricken grandmothers are growing it, drug mules are risking their lives to smuggle it out of the country, and what stays behind is ruining the lives of South Africa's drug-addled teens. Scroll down for video .

Swazi gold is grown in the tiny South African sovereign state of Swaziland, where the climate and nutrient-rich soil is perfect for growing marijuana. Farmers - many of them 'Grannies' whose children have died and who are now in charge of providing for their grandchildren - have developed the potent strain through cross-pollination, and can now yield double the crop they once could annually.

'We don't care where it ends up,' one farmer tells reporter Stacey Dooley. The swazi gold that stays in South Africa is now commonly mixed with heroin to make a highly addictive new cocktail known as nyope. Nyope contains a heroin concentration of around ten per cent, and often 'fillers' including rat poison and crushed HIV tablets.

Peter Tait, the headmaster of Sherborne Preparatory School in Dorset, claimed parents have become 'dervishes' about their children's education and should take a back seat to allow them to develop naturally. Writing in Attain, the magazine for the Independent Association of Prep Schools, Mr Tait said the modern trend of interfering stemmed from parents being bombarded with information about how to raise a child. Parents need to keep their distance and use their intuition to trust schools and teachers, a leading head teacher has claimed. Stock image used . Mr Tait warned that while parents naturally wanted the very best for their children, such interference could end up hindering their natural development, The Daily Telegraph reported. He said: 'What has made some parents put their own child at the centre of the universe and to hell with the rest?' Adding that parents must trust those responsible for their children's education, he added: 'To do this requires a certain detachment, a willingness to trust the passage of time, focusing on whether their children are happy, challenged and purposeful and are learning the right values.' Sherborne, which was founded in 1550 by Edward VI in the Dorset village of the same name, has educated prominent churchmen and army generals, as well as famous figures such as codebreaker Alan Turing and Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville and Coldplay singer Chris Martin. The school has enjoyed strong academic performance recently.

The phenomenon of parents placing their children before any others and pushes their children to high levels of achievement through a range of after-school activities has been termed Tiger Parenting. Last year, Gail Larkin, the president of the National Association of Head Teachers, also attacked parents saying that some children were being forced to sit through hours of unnecessary tuition by pushy parents competing with one another. She added that instead of two or three hours spent in more classes after school, children would benefit from joining a swimming club, taking up ballet, or playing in the park instead. Mr Tait is Headmaster of Sherborne Preparatory School (pictured) in Dorset, who has been writing in Attain magazine .

It\u2019s been a gargantuan undertaking, even by the formidable standards of the Women\u2019s Institute. For days on end, two of its members slaved away baking enough cakes to feed 5,000 women attending the WI\u2019s centenary celebrations at the Royal Albert Hall in June. But the WI has now been told it must pay the venue thousands of pounds to serve the cakes. \u2018It\u2019s outrageous,\u2019 said one WI stalwart, who did not wish to be named. \u2018We can\u2019t waste money on this. I don\u2019t understand why they just won\u2019t let us give it away.\u2019 Claire Hope, 35, a member of her local WI group in Dorking, Surrey, added: \u2018It seems rather petty. 'The WI is a charity and I would have thought the Albert Hall could have come to an amicable arrangement.\u2019 The idea was that the 5,000 members attending the National Federation of the Women\u2019s Institute\u2019s AGM, which this year celebrates the anniversary, would find a box of centenary cake on their seats. But organisers were astonished to be told that the gesture would incur a \u2018sampling charge\u2019 of \u00a32,500 because the centenary cake has fallen foul of the Hall\u2019s sponsorship rules. Even though the fruitcake has been home-made by two WI star bakers, some of the ingredients were donated by companies including Dairy Crest, Diageo and Whitworths, and their contribution is acknowledged on the cake boxes. Under the Hall\u2019s booking conditions, extra fees are liable if products of commercial sponsors are promoted inside the building. To avoid the unexpected cost, members will now be given a piece of the cake to eat on the way home, instead of at the venue. A WI spokeswoman said: \u2018Once we considered the logistics, we decided it would be easier all round to give every federation their \u201cpieces\u201d to distribute after the meeting.\u2019 The Royal Albert Hall declined to confirm the amount of the extra cake charge - but under the Hall\u2019s booking conditions, extra fees are liable if products of commercial sponsors are promoted inside the building .

All the major pollsters are predicting that no party will win an overall majority, and all leading bookmakers now have the shortest odds on such an outcome.

Now American 28-year-old Scott Keyes has revealed his savvy secrets so you too can explore the world without falling into the ticket traps. The Think Progress reporter reveals his travel hacks in his eBooks How To Fly For Free and How To Find Cheap Flights, and spoke to MailOnline Travel about his top tips. Scroll down for video . Scott Keyes (above), a 28-year-old writer for Think Progress, is about to travel 20,000miles on 21 flights . Globe-trotter: Along the way he will be stopping by 13 countries in Europe and South and North America . Stock up flyer miles through credit cards . Keyes recommends credit cards are the best way to go if you want to quickly and easily rack up frequent flyer miles, which you can then use to take free flights. He only sign up for cards with high sign-up bonuses and relatively low spending thresholds necessary to get those. For example, a card he just got gave 50,000 bonus points for spending $1,000 in three months. The writer makes a point of putting all everyday spending on credit cards in order to hit these spending thresholds. (Unfortunately, this is mostly true for American travellers; European credit cards and elsewhere tend to offer fairly meagre perks.) As long as you can handle credit responsibly and treat your credit card like a debit card, you can work towards a surprising amount of free travel. My favourite credit card is almost always whichever one offers the best sign-up bonus at the time. So right now, the best three are American Airlines' Citi Platinum card, the United MileagePlus Explorer card, and British Airways Visa Signature card, each of which offers a sign-up bonus of 50,000 miles. (For complicated reasons, I probably like the BA card the best, because if you're flying less than 650 miles, 50,000 miles will get you as many as 11 free flights.) I basically ignore the 'get one mile for every dollar you spend' incentive, since I don't have much money to spend. In order to get as many miles as the sign-up bonus, I would have to spend $50,000! I focus almost exclusively on the sign-up bonus when deciding what card to get next.

Be flexible with your dates when you want to take a trip of a set number of days.

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.

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.

Dr Joe Hanson, a science writer and biologist based in Austin, Texas, pondered this very question and now has calculated what the human body is in terms of chemical elements. He revealed that a 'human molecule' might contain 375 million atoms of hydrogen, 132 million atoms of oxygen and 85 million atoms of carbon. By comparison, this human molecule contains just one atom of cobalt and three molecules of the metal molybdenum. When written out in full, the human molecule would read: Co1 Mo3 Se4 Cr7 F13 Mn13 I14 Cu76 Zn2,110 Fe2,680 Si38,600 Mg40,000 Cl127,000 K177,000 Na183,000 S206,000 P1,020,000 Ca1,500,000 N6,430,000 C85,700,000 O132,000,000 H375,000,000. The full list of elements that Dr Hanson says would be found in a human molecule if such a thing existed - each set of letters represent a chemical element and the numbers are the proporation of atoms in each 'molecule' Dr Hanson claims his formula, however, only represents the chemical make up of the human body at birth. Life on Earth may have been kickstarted by a series of chemical reactions triggered by two simple but poisonous compounds that were plentiful on our planet four billion years ago. Chemists have found it is possible to create the three main molecular building blocks of life - DNA, proteins and lipids - from hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulphide and ultraviolet light. Their findings suggest that the basic components for biological cells could have all occurred simultaneously in primordial ponds and streams, coming together to form the first cells. This suggests that life may well have first emerged here on Earth - out of a toxic soup of poisonous gas - rather than being carried to our planet by a comet or meteorite from outer space. But the researchers behind the new study say that meteorite impacts probably still played a key role in giving life a first leg up on the ladder towards existence. They claim that meteorite impacts around four billion years ago - known as the Late Heavy Bombardment - could have carried with them carbon rich material that reacted with nitrogen in the air to produce an abundance of hydrogen cyanide. This poisonous gas could then have dissolved in water and undergone a series of chemical reactions, along with hydrogen sulphide, driven by ultraviolet light. Over our lifetimes the proportions of these elements change as age and we pick up traces of other elements like heavy metals and gold. Dr Hanson said: 'Out of 98 naturally occurring elements, just over 30 are known to be essential to some form of life on Earth. 'In ancient times scholars believed everything in the universe was made from just four elements - earth, water, fire and air. 'Today we know it is a little more complicated than that.

Paramedics fought to save her and took her in an ambulance to hospital, but Charlotte died from the effects of the drug. Overdose: 17-year-old farmer Charlotte Cobbald died while suffering from anorexia and depression . At the time she died in August, Charlotte was visiting the family farm in Acton, Suffolk while on day release from a mental health unit where she was treated for anorexia and depression.

On August 4 she came home and took some training sheepdogs out with her father, then told him she felt she was a 'complete failure'.

Stuart McCall had suffered his first defeat as Rangers manager against Queens last week. So it was no real surprise to see him make three changes for the visit of Raith. Goalkeeper Cammy Bell was back between the sticks and Dean Shiels and Robbie Crawford were also added to the side. The Light Blues enjoyed the best possible start to the game when they surged into the lead after just six minutes. Clark found himself in plenty of space to connect with Law's corner and bullet a header home from 10 yards. Law then carved out a chance of his own but his shot from just inside the box was weak and easily held by Kevin Cuthbert.

Water-conscious residents have turned to techniques that utilize so-called 'gray water' to help them meet the unprecedented new water-use restrictions imposed by Governor Jerry Brown last week.

Robin Weld, who lives in parched Sacramento, recently took the step of converting her home's toilet into a toilet-sink. For $100, Weld purchased the sink positive, she told CBS Sacramento. It replaces the tradition lid to her toilet tank with a small hand sink. 'We're washing our hands and then reusing that water,' Weld said. Clean city water comes in through the faucet and then fills the tank instead of simply going to waste. On the next flush, the used hand sink water comes down into the bowl.

And just next door to Weld, her neighbor Chris Brown is using the left over water from his showers, laundry and other tasks to irrigate his yard.

After James Anderson castled Kraigg Brathwaite with a venomous in-swinger in the third over, Chris Jordan had Devon Smith caught behind. Smith should still be there, however, after replays clearly showed the ball had missed his outside edge as he thrust forward outside off stump. Replays show Devon Smith clearly misses the ball before being dismissed caught behind off Chris Jordan . Smith declines his choice to review the decision with HotSpot not available in this Test series . With HotSpot technology not available in this Test as part of the decision review system, Smith declined to try his luck upstairs and walked off. That left the hosts 36 for two at lunch, with 15 overs gone. Play was delayed by an hour and 45 minutes after persistent morning showers, with 11 overs lost in the day. Despite having sent down 130 overs in the fourth innings of the drawn first Test, captain Alastair Cook pressed his bowlers back into action, persuaded by humid conditions and a touch of dampness in the pitch.

And while extreme volcanic eruptions are commonly blamed for triggering the event, research has found the majority of species on the planet were ultimately killed when the oceans became more acidic . The study, led by the University of Edinburgh, is the first to show that highly acidic oceans were to blame. And the researchers said that the amount of carbon added to the atmosphere to trigger the mass extinction was 'probably greater than today's fossil fuel reserves'. The Great Dying, also known as the Permian-Triassic Boundary extinction, took place over a 60,000-year period, and acidification of the oceans lasted for around 10,000 years. At this time, a single supercontinent called Pangaea covered the Earth. This huge landmass created extremely arid conditions and by the Late Permian, temperatures were at an all time high. These extreme temperatures already threatened many land and marine species, but this was made worse when large volcanic eruptions began to take place.

Apple launches its first smartwatch today - but anyone turning up to buy one from a store will be disappointed. For although the Apple Watch is officially going on sale, none of its locations will have them in stock. Instead, consumers willing to shell out between $549 to $17,000 - for the gold edition - have to pre-order the watches online and wait for their arrival until June. Usually, Apple launches generate long lines outside stores. But analysts believe the company feared the lines might be embarrassingly short and so opted to launch the watch with more of a whisper than a bang. In fact, despite the high price and some skepticism that consumers are eager to adopt a new generation of wearable technology, pre-orders have far exceeded expectations. As a result, the company's initial production run is simply not large enough to ensure that watches will be available in stores from today. Analysts believe Apple is sitting on some two million pre-orders and that sales could top 20 million this year. The watch includes a host of personal trackers, including a heart rate monitor, and is being billed as a personal doctor that will help users to lose weight and improve their health. However, Apple also wants it to be seen as style statement and fashion accessory, with customers able to choose from any of 38 variants depending on the case and watch strap. As a result, limited supplies have been given to six designer outlets around the world, which will apparently be sold to a few select customers by appointment today. The launch of the watch into stores is being handled by Apple retail chief, Angela Ahrendts, who is very familiar with the world of designer labels. She told Apple staff via video message earlier this week that the decision to make the watch only available through online orders is because demand has exceeded supply. In it she said: 'We know that you have been bombarded with questions from customers. 'Luckily, the customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We know they are excited about the Watch ...but there are a lot of questions about availability and timing etc. 'Last week we announced that due to the high global interest and the initial supply that we would only be taking orders online right now.

Former teachers of Al-Taqwa College, in Melbourne's outer western suburbs, claim in a letter sent to the state and federal education ministers that principal Omar Hallak was discriminating against female students. The Age reported that the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority is currently investigating the allegations. Omar Hallak, principal of Islamic School Al-Taqwa College in Melbourne, reportedly bans his female students from running . This comes a month after revelations that Mr Hallak was telling students at his school that Islamic State was not 'created' by Muslims, but was instead a plot against them by the West. The letter sent to ministers by a former teacher this week about the girls not being able to fully participate in sport claimed Mr Hallak believes there is 'scientific evidence' to back his claims. 'The principal holds beliefs that if females run excessively, they may 'lose their virginity',' the letter said. 'The principal believes that there is scientific evidence to indicate that if girls injure themselves, such as break their leg while playing soccer, it could render them infertile.' The principal of Al-Taqwa College banned female primary school students from participating in the 2013 and 2014 cross country district events, the teacher also claimed. A group of students wrote this letter to Mr Hallak when they discovered they had been banned from competing, and asked him to be 'fair' They said the principal had been unaware that the female students were training for the event, and got involved when he was notified. When they found out they had been prevented from competing, a group of female students penned a letter to their principal asking him to let them compete. 'This letter is about the cross country event that has been cancelled', the letter from 'cross country girls' read. 'Apparantly (sic) it is because girls can't run and that is really offensive to all the girls that were going to participate in the event. 'As a school principal you should treat all the subjects equally just to be fair to all the students that want to participate in a sport event', the letter continued. Last month it was reported that Mr Hallak was teaching students at his school (pictured) that Islamic State was not the doing of Muslims, but rather a plot against them . The note from the group of students also raises that point that 'it doesn't say girls can't run in the hadith (sayings of the prophet Mohammed)' and they should be able to participate as long as they are wearing 'appropriate clothes'. Education minister James Merlino has told 3AW the reports are concerning and the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority is investigating. \"If true these are very concerning reports and I have asked the VRQA to investigate and report back to me,\" Mr Merlino has told 3AW on Thursday.

The closest three will be just 3.8 million miles from the surface of the star. Scientists have long wanted to send a probe through the sun\u2019s outer atmosphere, or corona, to better understand the solar wind and the material it carries into our solar system. The primary science goals for the Solar Probe Plus mission are to trace the flow of energy and understand the heating of the solar corona and to explore the physical mechanisms that accelerate the solar wind and energetic particles. To meet those objectives, Solar Probe Plus will carry four instrument suites into the corona and study the solar wind and energetic particles as they blast off the surface of the star.

'The focus of the investigation will be to determine if the accesses were justified having regard to the work role of each officer. This process will take some weeks, if not months, to complete. Allegations will be investigated under Section 440A of the Criminal Code, which states police officers face up to 12 months in prison or a $12,000 fine for unauthorised computer usage.

A property developer who falsely accused his neighbour's son-in-law of a racist assault in a row over a new driveway smirked yesterday as he walked free from court. Sanjay Chaddah concocted a 'tissue of lies', claiming Dean Paton had kicked him and called him a 'P**i' following the 18-month boundary dispute in a genteel village in the Wirral. But the move backfired when police discovered that the altercation had been caught on CCTV and cleared Mr Paton of any wrongdoing. Yesterday Chaddah, 43, who claimed he was suffering from post-traumatic stress, punched the air with delight as he strolled free from court after being given a six-month suspended sentence for common assault and perjury. Liverpool Crown Court heard he had been embroiled in an ongoing spat with neighbours Steve and Tricia Boden after he dug up part of the block paving on their drive to make way for an ornate wall and railings around his home in Raby Mere. Despite their objections, he carried on transforming his modest \u00a3300,000 four-bedroom detached home into what residents in the upmarket village describe as a 'Bollywood palace'. Things came to a head in July when Chaddah and his wife Deepa spotted their neighbours' son-in-law Mr Paton moving a fence panel on the day their new driveway was being laid. Chaddah was so incensed he charged at Mr Paton, 31, and knocked him over. Police were called and Chaddah falsely accused the archaeologist of racially aggravated assault, only to be caught out by frame-by-frame footage from his neighbours' CCTV cameras. Last night Mr Paton said he was relieved the case was finally over. But he added: 'If I'd been prosecuted for racially aggravated assault you can bet I would have ended up in jail, not with a suspended prison sentence. 'I'm married with two kids but would have lost my business and my livelihood. Being branded racist \u2013 I couldn't really have been accused of anything worse. 'Chaddah is a bully who had to be told he couldn't take the law into his own hands.' Another neighbour said: 'Everyone's had problems with them (the Chaddahs). They've built this Bollywood-style palace for themselves and don't give a monkey's about others in the street not being able to get in and out of their drives for builders.' The court heard the dispute began when Mr and Mrs Boden, both 61, returned from a two-week holiday to Cuba to find their block paving had been dug up to make way for the Chaddahs' new 3ft tall wall and railings. Around 18 months later, Mr Paton, who was visiting his in-laws, tried to remove a fence panel the Bodens claimed was sticking out on to their property.

Newcastle Crown Court (pictured) heard mother-of-two Christine Lillico, 47 was supposed to look after her elderly parents' bank accounts - but instead stole almost \u00a380,000 from them over a six year period . By the time her fraud was discovered Lillico had stolen a total of \u00a378,000. Newcastle Crown Court heard in the last months of his life Mr Air went without a telephone and basic amenities, while suffering the shame of being in debt for the first time in his life because of his daughter's crimes. A judge has now sent Lillico to jail and ordered she pay her brother John Air junior \u00a339,000 - which would have been his inheritance has she not stolen it. Sentencing her to 20 months behind bars, Mr Recorder Baird said: 'You were trusted by your parents to look after them in their elderly years. 'They had modest savings which had taken all their lives to accumulate through hard work. 'Over a period of six years you plundered those savings. 'The result of that was when your father died in 2014 he was in debt, something he had never been in before and that is something that caused him great distress.' The court heard Lillico spent some of the \u00a378,000 on shopping sprees in B&Q (file image) Christopher Knox, prosecuting, explained how Mr and Mrs Air, from Ashington, had both worked in the coal industry and had pensions. The couple gave their daughter control of their bank accounts after they sold their home for \u00a395,000 and moved in to a sheltered flat, as their health began to fail as they grew older. 'The couple lived very sensibly,' said Mr Knox. 'By 2008 there was at least \u00a355,000 in a savings account.' The court heard Mrs Air, who had suffered from dementia, passed away in October 2010 and Mr Air died in July 2014. But the court heard Lillico had been raiding her parents' accounts since 2008. Debit card transactions were made at various shops including JD Sports and B&Q. The accounts had also been used to pay for photography services and to buy an XBox and cash was also withdrawn from the banks and cheques written. The court heard Lillico is of previous good character. She pleaded guilty to three charges of fraud. It was calculated the amount of money Lillico stole amounted to what she and her brother would have inherited between them. The judge made an order under the Proceeds of Crime Act that she repay the half she owes within six months.

The chair has a dark stain on the back, which many visitors believe to be blood from the shooting. But historians at the museum say that the stain is oil from other people's heads who sat in the chair before Lincoln . Lincoln's chair has been part of the museum started by pioneering automaker Henry Ford - no relation to the theater-owning Ford family - since its founding 85 years ago. The government removed it from the theater and held it as evidence, and it ended up at the Smithsonian Institution. The wife of a theater co-owner petitioned to reclaim it, then sold it at auction to an agent working for Henry Ford. Henry Ford also bought the Logan County Courthouse where Lincoln practiced law in Illinois in the 1840s and moved it to the outdoor area next to his museum known as Greenfield Village. For decades, the theater chair was housed in that courthouse. Around 1980, the chair was placed inside the museum, where it's now part of the 'With Liberty and Justice for All' exhibit. 'Lincoln was one of Henry Ford's heroes - when he decided he wanted to have this village, he wanted to collect Lincoln stuff as an educational tool,' said curator Donna Braden. 'The courthouse is pretty much the first thing Henry Ford acquired related to Lincoln and the chair came soon after.'

'This penalty sends a strong message to companies that they should not use broad phrases in promotions that are deliberately chosen to sell products to consumers but which are likely to mislead consumers,' Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) Chairman Rod Sims said. The Federal Court slammed Coles with a $2.5 million fine and banned them from advertising its par-baked bread from being baked fresh on the day it is sold for three years . The falsified fresh bread has generated a revenue of about $300 million for Coles . The falsely labelled bread has generated an income of around $300 million over three years before former premier Jeff Kennett found that the some of the bread that was advertised as fresh was actually made in Ireland the Sydney Morning Herald reported. In many instances, the breads were partially baked in factories overseas, frozen, and shipped to Australia months later to be sold as freshly baked loaves to consumers. After an investigation by the ACCC Coles was also ordered to display a Federal Court corrective notice in its stores and on its website informing shoppers that it had broken Australian consumer law by falsely advertising bread products as 'Baked Today, Sold Today' and 'Freshly Baked In-Store'. In court, Chief Justice Allsop said that it was clear Coles had the intention of improving its marketing through 'conduct that breached the Australian Consumer Law.'

A Labour mayor who campaigned against austerity while being paid an \u00a380,000 salary took \u00a34,500 per year from a school where he previously worked, despite doing nothing for pupils. Joe Anderson, 56, the Mayor of Liverpool, attempted to justify the payments by saying he provided the school with 'kudos' for being linked to him. And when Chesterfield High School in Crosby, Merseyside, stopped the payments in 2011, he attempted to sue them, claiming discrimination because of his 'philosophical belief' in public service. The details of the case, published in The Times, came after Mr Anderson rejected an employment tribunal ruling against him and took his case to appeal, which was also rejected. In the most recent case, Judge Daniel Serota ruled that outsiders would consider the payments a 'misapplication of public monies ' and that the school was right to stop them. He added that he had repeatedly asked Mr Anderson's lawyers to state what benefits the school got in return for their cash. He said: 'The only answer that I received was that it gave 'kudos' to the school.' Mr Anderson had been a senior learning mentor at the school from 2001, when he was already a Liverpool councillor. He eventually rose through the ranks to become full-time leader of the council in 2010, effectively stopping his role as a mentor, but he continued taking payments from his former employer. When the school became an academy in 2011, and therefore had greater freedom over its finances, it ceased paying Mr Anderson, leading to his discrimination claim. Mr Anderson, who is paid an \u00a380,000 salary, tried to sue the school (pictured) for discrimination after it stopped the payments, saying he was being punished for a 'philosophical belief' in public service . Mr Anderson said that his claim was no about getting more money, but about protecting his lucrative public sector pension pot. A tribunal ruled that Mr Anderson was unfairly dismissed, but that it was '100 per cent likely' the school would have sacked him following a consultation, so he was not entitled to compensation. It also ruled that, while Mr Anderson's belief in public service is a protected status, he had not been discriminated against.", "summary": "Joe Anderson, 56, earns \u00a380,000 in full-time job as the Mayor of Liverpool .

A thug beat up his girlfriend so badly after a cancelled New Year's Eve party that their hotel room resembled a 'bloodbath', a court has heard. Steven Howie, 28, of Dunfermline, left his girlfriend Karen Murray, 31, with 18 separate injuries after assaulting her over an hour. Howie, a joiner, punched, kicked and kneed her during a prolonged assault, smashed furnishings, and pulled the door of their en-suite bathroom off its hinges. Because the inn was so isolated Miss Murray was unable to get a signal to call police and officers only arrived after guests in another room dialled 999. Stirling Sheriff Court heard that Howie and Miss Murray had been dating for about four months when they checked into the Carronbridge Hotel, in the Campsie Fells. The court heard they then travelled into Stirling for Hogmanay celebrations at Stirling Castle, which were meant to have been headlined by The Waterboys. Lindsey Brooks, prosecuting, said that 'alcohol was consumed' and at one point there was an argument about Howie speaking to another female. Miss Brooks said the argument was quickly resolved, but the Stirling Castle event was cancelled due to bad weather and the pair took a taxi back to the hotel about 10.30pm. When they got back to their room Howie began to shout and swear at Miss Murray calling her a whore and a liar. The depute fiscal said: 'Miss Murray said it came out of the blue. The accused then punched her in the face, causing her nose to bleed, punched her in the stomach, and kneed her in the back numerous times. The couple were staying at the Carronbridge Hotel (pictured) when he beat her in a brutal and sustained attack . 'Miss Murray was unsure how long this went on for, but she was able eventually to get the accused out of the room and lock the door.

Mrs Brooks said: 'There was blood on the carpet, on the bedding and in the bathroom. 'The bathroom door had been pulled off its hinges and a shower door had been broken.

+{"article": "This is one safety video you won't be able to take your eyes off. A dramatic virtual environment has been created using a headset that shows how passengers would survive a plane crash landing on water. The short film has been developed on an Oculus Rift - a virtual reality headset - by Italy's University of Udine's HCI Lab. It is hoped the simulation can make people aware of the correct processes to follow for a landing on water . The video is based on an actual event when, on January 15, 2009, U.S. Airways Flight 1549 was forced into a landing on water. Following a series of bird strikes, both engines failed, and the Airbus A320, piloted by Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger was forced to land in the Hudson River. Incredibly of the 155 on board, only one person was hospitalised ovenight, and the incident became known as 'Miracle on the Hudson.' With the dramatic background music, this video could well prove to be much more effective than a safety notice and demonstration. The scene begins by the passenger being welcomed onto the plane by the flight attendant, before a gentle walk to locate the seat. The start of the virtual reality programme starts casual enough as the passenger moves to their seat . A large bang is heard on the simulation before the plane starts to rapidly descend . Once seated the film jolts into action when a loud bang is heard, and the plane rocks from side to side. As the plane descends quickly and abruptly, the user is told that the 'goal is to come out unharmed from the aircraft by following safe procedures.' The first thing to do is inflate the life jacket. What follows is a jog down the cabin and to the emergency exit, where the flight attendant is beckoning you out of the door and onto the evacuation slide. The video pans to the passenger reaching into the overhead lockers for their luggage . But doing this results in putting yourself in immense danger of drowning in the incoming water . There are cries, screams and shouting, just what you would expect from the real thing. A chilling scene then appears telling you to beware of making mistakes - in this instance it is wasting time grabbing luggage. This is shown when, after grabbing the luggage, the passenger is overcome with water - this actually forces the man who has taken the simulation on to remove the headset and puff his cheeks. Speaking to MailOnline Travel, Luca Chittaro, head of the project, said: 'The 'Emergency Water Landing VR' demo we have just released for the Oculus Rift was developed in the last year, and is just one of a series of aviation safety education games we are developing for all possible technological platforms, not just the Oculus Rift.

Some examples: City have nine points fewer than at this stage last season; their 4-2 defeat against Manchester United saw them concede four for the first time since 2009; they have lost four of their past six Premier League games and five in 2015, which is one more than in the whole of 2014.

Thousands of fans stayed away from Sunday's Barclays Premier League defeat by Tottenham at St James' Park in protest at the way the sportswear Tycoon is running the club, with the official attendance of 47,427 - the capacity of the stadium is in excess of 52,000 - understood to include many season ticket holders who did not attend. Protesters are calling for a repeat when Swansea head for Tyneside on Saturday, but Mark Jensen, editor of online fanzine www.themag.co.uk, fears longer-term consequences. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has been urged to invest in the club or risk losing a generation of fans . Newcastle fans hold up 'Ashley Out' banners, mocked in the style of his Sports Direct chain of stores . Thousands of Newcastle fans boycotted the club's last game, a 3-1 defeat at home to Spurs on Sunday . Jensen, who himself stayed away from Sunday's game, said: 'I feel sorry for young people, what they are watching now and this lack of ambition. At least when I was young, the team might have been rubbish and we were going nowhere, but it was exciting to be on the terraces. 'There was so much more wrapped up in it, whereas now if the football is rubbish, I'm not quite sure what the lure is. 'That's a long-term danger. Whether Mike Ashley is here in the future or not, there's a danger that you are turning all these people off Newcastle United and going to the match, especially with the rival attraction of being able to watch it in your local pub.' Unofficial estimates have put the actual attendance for the 3-1 defeat by Spurs at significantly lower than 47,000, although some have seemed wildly optimistic. However, there is little doubt that those who answered calls for a boycott made an impact. Jensen said: 'I thought it was a massive success. Comparing it with the walk-out at the end of last season, basically it's always going to be symbolic. 'It's not going to bring Mike Ashley to his knees, but to have thousands and thousands of people, or whatever figure you want to put on it, who have already paid for something not going to the match... 'Imagine thousands of people going to Tesco or Sainsbury's and buying \u00a330 worth of shopping and saying, 'Hang on a second, I'm not happy, you can have your shopping back'. It's a massive statement.' Last week's revelation that the club banked in excess of \u00a334million as well as recording a profit of \u00a318.7million for the last financial year has simply served to increase anger among fans, who have seen a squad assembled on a budget struggle to compete during the second half of the current campaign, and not for the first time in recent years.

The French midfielder had just put in a dominant display at the Emirates Stadium as the Ligue 1 side all-but-sealed their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after a 3-1 first-leg win. But rather than Arsenal, it now seems Liverpool hold the main Premier League interest in the 22-year-old. So, what more do you need to know? Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia is a Liverpool target and has also interested Arsenal in recent years . 22? He's been around for a while... Despite his young age, Kondogbia has amassed over 100 league appearances for Lens, Monaco, and even Sevilla. And during that five-year professional career, the central midfielder has been constantly watched by Arsenal scouts. He also impressed at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup alongside Paul Pogba in the French midfield, while his frame and playing style doesn't exactly scream 22 years old. Kondogbia is only 22 but has racked up over 100 league appearances with Lens (above), Sevilla and Monaco . The central midfielder was a key player for France alongside Paul Pogba at the Under 20 World Cup in 2013 . Tough guy then? Exactly. Standing at 6'2\", Kondogbia is a real presence in the Monaco midfield, allowing the likes of Joao Moutinho to strut their stuff further forward. He's strong in the tackle, but make no mistake, his prowess on the ball is also impressive. Possessing a fine left foot, Kondogbia doubles up as a playmaker, and also scored the first goal in the tie in the first leg against Arsenal. Having made his mark in both Ligue 1 and La Liga, you could say the Frenchman is the perfectly well-rounded midfielder, someone who would fit in seamlessly in the Premier League... Kondogbia's fine strike put Monaco in front against Arsenal in the Champions League last-16 first leg . So why haven't we seen him in England? Time is still on Kondogbia's side, but Premier League clubs have certainly tried. Arsenal were heavily linked with him before he left Sevilla, though the versatile player bought out his contract and opted for Monaco. With Liverpool crying out for players to freshen up an ageing/departing spine, the 22-year-old's presence would surely suit Brendan Rodgers. But he must move quick, with Real Madrid, Manchester United, Juventus and Paris St Germain all keen to sign the man who has been capped three times by his national team. Mesut Ozil swapped shirts with Kondogbia at half-time in the second leg at the Stade Louis II .", "summary": "Geoffrey Kondogbia impressed against Arsenal in the Champions League .

Scientists from the University of Connecticut warned that one in six animals are at risk of extinction, particularly in regions where shrinking habitats and barriers to migration compound the problem. Dr Mark Urban studied data from 131 biodiversity studies to come to his bleak conclusions, which are published in the journal, Science. He proposes that the rate of extinction will speed up in line with rising temperatures. If future temperatures increase by only two degrees compared to pre-industrial levels, the extinction risk would increase from 2.8 to 5.2 per cent. Researchers from the University of Connecticut warned animals in regions where shrinking habitats and barriers to migration compound the problem are most at risk. Antarctica, which is home to many species of penguins (stock image) is one of these places . But if global warming maintains its current trajectory and a 4.3 degree increase, that could increase to 16 per cent, he said. 'If the world does not come together and control greenhouse gas emissions and we allow the Earth to warm considerably we will face a potential loss of one in six species,' Dr Urban told the BBC. 'Many species will be able to shift their ranges and keep up with climate change whereas others will not either because their habitat has disappeared or because they can't reach their habitat anymore.' If future temperatures increase by only two degrees compared to pre-industrial levels, the extinction risk would increase from 2.8 to 5.2%.

Mr Miliband's announcement comes after David Cameron struggled to say if he could live on a zero-hours contract after being grilled by Jeremy Paxman last week. In an interview with BBC Breakfast this morning, Mr Miliband said: 'If it's not good enough for us, I don't think it is good enough for the people of Britain, and that's why we have got to make this change.'

Described by police as the 'worst we have ever seen', the San Francisco property was teeming with black widows, rats, feces and 300 bottles of urine when it was discovered on April 4. But apparently, it's still a hot ticket. Just a week after removing the rodents, trash, and corpse, realtors have priced this San Francisco property at a cool $2.5 million. The 1904 Victorian build in Bay Area will be sold at a live auction by Tim Hawko of Zephyr Real Estate. Still worth it! Property developers are expected to pay millions for this house which was made available last week after police evicted a 65-year-old hoarder and removed her mother's five-year-old mummified corpse . With seven bedrooms and two bathrooms, the single-story property has the structure of a valuable home. And according to experts, the eerie backstory could even add to the intrigue. Kevin Birmingham, a real estate agent, told the San Francisco Chronicle it will primarily be property developers bidding for the home, in the hope that they can perform a magical turnaround. 'The people looking at hoarder houses are developers or investors, so the fact that someone passed away\u2014whether mummified or not\u2014it doesn't bother them a bit,' he said. The remains which were removed from the house on April 4 are believed to be that of Anna Ragin who lived with her 65-year-old daughter Carolyn, a hoarder. Neighbors told The San Francisco Chronicle the mother had not been seen for years. According to records another man, Archibald Ragin, lived at the property but died 15 years ago at the age of 101. Carolyn, said to be a retired Pacific Bell worker, was taken to hospital after her mother's body was removed from the house. She is now being mentally assessed. Police removed the body, believed to be that of Anna Ragin, from the property in the Richmond area of San Francisco. Authorities said the home was covered in debris, including dog feces and bottles of urine . Supervisor Eric Mar, a representative in charge of the area, told the Chronicle : 'The police captains I've spoken with tell me this is the worst case of hoarding they have ever seen.' He was concerned for the health and safety of the residents, but questioned how the situation in the property could have gotten to such a point. Mr Mar said: 'We certainly want seniors to stay in their communities as long as possible, but when people aren\u2019t getting adequate health care and attention, this is what happens. 'This appears to be a nightmare of what can happen when people age in place for too long,' he added. 'We need to identify what the triggers are for the city to step in.'

John Wild, from Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire, was issued with a three-year banning order and ordered to carry out community service, pay compensation and cover court fees after being found guilty of racially abusing Brown while he was playing for Dartford in a Vanarama Conference fixture at Bristol Rovers last October.

'When Paul subsequently attempted to arrange a date, via phone calls and text message, to discuss with Jason how we could look to assist, Jason did not respond, nor did he to another enquiry from Kick It Out.' Kick It Out said contact was maintained with the FA 'to gain regular updates on the case' and, as the organisation has no formal investigative or regulatory powers, they work with the governing bodies on their processes and procedures, and liaise directly with the Police as and when required.

'It was really inspiring to go in and photograph the theater, it's something I've always wanted to do and at times it actually felt like I was stepping back in time.

Lawyers hired by drug rehab network Narcocon have argued that Trout Run, a property in Frederick County, Maryland, has historic significance because President Herbert Hoover once caught a fish at the site. Opponents view the proposed designation as a trick to circumvent current zoning laws for the 40-acre plot of land and create a drug rehabilitation program that some call dangerous. Narcocon, a Church of Scientology-affiliated drug rehab network, is trying to prove that a patch of land near Camp David is historic enough so that they can build a center for twelve patients . A Scientology-back real estate company bought Trout Run for $4.85million in 2013, and has been trying to change its land designation so that it can build a center that uses saunas and vitamin therapy for addicts . Narcocon, which uses sauna sessions and the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, has been sued in the past for wrongful deaths. It has denied wrongdoing. The group's treatment program claims that megadoses of the vitamin Niacin and spending five hours a day in a sauna for a month eliminates addiction cravings that are stored in the body's fat cells. Treatments at the center can cost more than $30,000 per month and typically last for as long as six months. Narcocon officials, who run more than 120 centers around the world, deny that the program tries to convert addicts to Scientology, though the group prominently features a quote from Hubbard on its website. The organization says that is focused on a secular approach to helping people overcome addiction. Its Maryland center would house 12 patients, with eight staff living there and eight living off-site. However, the current zoning laws for Trout Run, which includes a collection of stone cottages, classify it for resource conservation and do not permit any medical purpose for the site, according to the Washington Post. Though Narcocon says that it is non-religious and does not try to convert people to Scientology, its website features the religion's founder L Ron Hubbard (pictured) prominently . Placing the property on the county register of historic places would allow Narconon to conduct its program.

+{"article": "John Helm was commentating on Bradford City\u2019s game against Lincoln City when the fire broke out and still struggles to listen to his description of that fatal day. Here he gives his insight into what caused the blaze. It was a day I have often tried to forget, but it was the one I must always remember. Approaching the 30th anniversary of the Bradford City fire, it was inevitable I would be asked to recall the horrific images from a match I was commentating on for Yorkshire Television. What I did not expect was for someone to suggest the fire may not have been an accident, as Martin Fletcher has done with his book Fifty-Six, the Story of the Bradford Fire. The tragic fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade stadium claimed 56 victims and injured 265 on May 11, 1985 . Martin lost three generations of his family and has a right to speak his mind \u2014 any bitterness would be understandable \u2014 but from everything I have been told there isn\u2019t a jot of evidence to suggest the blaze was caused deliberately. On the contrary, I remember the coroner telling me it was obvious how the fire had started. Detective Inspector Raymond Falconer actually identified a man who had dropped a lit cigarette that went down a hole in the stand and started the fire. This corroborates what I was told at the time by the coroner. He said it was believed the fire had been started by a man, visiting this country from Australia, but his name was never revealed. Without making allegations against the club\u2019s chairman at the time Stafford Heginbotham, there is inference by implication in the book \u2014 with reference to a series of fires at factories owned by the now deceased Heginbotham. As members of his own family were seated in the stand that day, and as it was due to be demolished anyway 48 hours later, it is unfathomable to think there could have been an act of arson. I find it abhorrent that Stafford Heginbotham\u2019s family are being subjected to this unseemly inference at a time when people are still grieving and paying their respects three decades on from the most horrendous day of their lives. There isn\u2019t a shred of evidence to suggest anything other than a terrible human tragedy. It should also never be forgotten that Heginbotham twice saved Bradford City from extinction. As son James said to me: \u2018He put that club above everything else, including family and business.\u2019 A memorial at Valley Parade pays tribute those who died in the devastating blaze almost 30 years ago . We all have our memories of a day that still sends a shudder up my spine. I cannot bear to watch the footage. If I hear my voice describing the tragedy as it unfolded I have to leave the room.

Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson Jr. said prosecutors had two aggravating factors and that Craig Stephen Hicks is 'death penalty qualified.' Hicks is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the February 10 killings of 23-year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat; his wife, 21-year-old Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha; and her sister, 19-year-old Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha.

A superior court judge in North Carolina ruled on Monday that Craig Hicks is 'death penalty qualified' after he was charged with first-degree murder in the killing of three Muslim college students . Prosecutors said Hicks confessed and was arrested with the murder weapon. Ballistics matched the handgun to shell casings recovered at the apartment and there was gunshot residue on his hands and one of the victim's blood was on his pants, prosecutors said. Police say Hicks, 46, appears to have been motivated by a long-running dispute over parking spaces at the Chapel Hill condominium complex where he lived in the same building as Barakat and his wife. The victims' families are adamant that they were targeted because they were Muslims and have pushed for hate-crime charges. The FBI is conducting what it has called a 'parallel preliminary inquiry' to the homicide investigation to determine whether any federal laws were violated, including hate crime statutes. Search warrants filed by Chapel Hill police said Barakat was shot in the head near the entrance to his condo. The two women were found in or near the kitchen.

Eight spent shell casings were found at the crime scene, investigators said. Earlier search warrants listed a dozen firearms recovered from the condo unit Hicks shared with his wife, in addition to the handgun he had with him when he turned himself in after the shootings. Hicks, who was unemployed and studying to become a paralegal, posted online that he was an atheist and a staunch advocate of the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

+{"article": "Those surprised at Yaya Toure's apparent desire to talk himself in to a transfer from Manchester City this week should not be. The Ivorian's CV tells the story of a player who has always placed pragmatism above sentiment when it comes to his choice of clubs. Toure, for example, left home as a teenager to play in the Belgian second division. Following that came some formative years playing for Metalurh Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. History also tells us that Toure, now almost 32, never stays in one place too long. Equally, though, Toure's rather clumsy statements of recent times should not be allowed to detract from his legacy at City and indeed in the Barclays Premier League. It looks likely Yaya Toure may leave Manchester City this summer but his legacy should be a positive one . Toure has struggled to impose himself upon games for City in the manner seen in previous seasons . Toure's time at City is defined as a success, bringing two Premier League titles to the Etihad . It looks extremely likely that he will leave England this summer. Toure has started to play and sound like an unhappy footballer, the social alliance he has formed with the Etihad's enfant terrible Samir Nasri hardly helping. If and when he does go, though, it is for his extraordinary contribution on the field \u2013 and not the unfortunate noise that has started to surround him - for which he should be remembered. At his club, Toure has been fundamental to City's transition from wealthy hopefuls to twice champions. Back in 2010, he arrived as a statement signing - a \u00a324m fee and \u00a31m a month \u2013 for a club determined to accelerate its own learning curve. It worked and, on a wider scale, he has simply been one of the most watchable footballers our league has ever seen in its modern form. I once asked a member of City's coaching staff if there was anybody quicker at the club than Micah Richards. He replied: 'Yes, Yaya. Not over the first few yards but when he gets going he is unstoppable. He's like a truck heading downhill without the brakes.' Premier League defenders would testify to that but there was always more to him. Toure possesses an intelligent football brain, the vision required of all top class central players and a sureness of touch. He has also had a demeanour that has allowed him the confidence to play just about anywhere on the field. This, remember, is a man who played as a central defender in a Champions League final against Manchester United. The first time he had ever played that position, he faced off with Cristiano Ronaldo as Barcelona won in Rome in 2009. 'We had a good team so it was not that hard for me that night,' Toure told this newspaper in December 2011.

Now, researchers believe they have come up with a way to tell fossils of small feathered male dinosaurs from those of females. They say that the key differences between the sexes lie in bones near the base of the tail. A pair of turkey-sized \u2018egg thief lizards\u2019 dubbed Romeo and Juliet were found lying next to each other in a 75-million-year-old rock (pictured) in the mid-90s. Palaeontologists led by Scott Persons (pictured) believe they can tell males and females apart from certain tail bones . Paleontologistsat the University of Alberta examined a pair of fossils found in Mongolia, which were first described in 2001. One is a complete skeleton, while the other is missing the middle and end of its tail. \u2018Determining a dinosaur\u2019s gender is really hard,\u2019 said graduate student Scott Persons, who is lead author of the study, published in Scientific Reports. \u2018Because soft anatomy seldom fossilises, a dinosaur fossil usually provides no direct evidence of whether it was a male or a female.\u2019 So instead, the researchers looked at indirect evidence of sexually dimorphic display structures, which are evident today in birds. Examples include the fans of peacocks, the tall crests of roosters or the long tail feathers of some birds of paradise, which are used to attract and court mates. They are almost always much larger in males who do the courting, than in females, who do the choosing. They suggest that male oviraptors had broader and longer chevron bones in their tails so they could shake their feather-tipped tail to woo potential mates (illustrated), much like modern peacocks . The team theorised that like birds, small feathered dinosaurs such as oviraptors used long feathers on their tails to attract mates, rather than for flying. \u2018My analysis of the tail skeletons supported this theory, because the skeletons showed adaptations for both high tail flexibility and enlarged tail musculature - both traits that would have helped an oviraptor to flaunt its tail fan in a mating dance,\u2019 Mr Persons said. After studying the fossils carefully, his team found signs of sexual dimorphism in the length and shape of blade-like bones called chevrons, which point downwards from the vertebrae near the base of the tail. A number of chevrons in one of the fossils were longer and had broader tips than those in the other specimen, indicating the creature is male, the experts said. They suggested that males had larger chevrons to anchor the muscles that controlled their flexible, feather-tipped tails. The researchers suspect that male oviraptorosaurs shook their tail feathers in intricate displays to woo potential mates, akin the behaviour of modern-day peacocks. They suspect females had shorter chevrons to make laying eggs easier. Scientists have recently shown that peacocks shake their tails to make a noise that is too low for us to hear.

The G36 was created for the requirements of the German armed forces but it is also used as an infantry weapon in around 50 countries. It is used in Britain by counterterrorism police. First made: 1995 . Calibre: 5.56 mm x 45 . Magazine capacity: 30 rounds . Weight: 3.63kg . Length: 755-1,002mm . Use in the UK: Between 2,000 and 3,000 G36 rifles belong to police forces across the country . An assault rifle used by counter-terror police does not shoot straight when it gets hot, tests claim. The Heckler & Koch G36 is inaccurate by up to 20 feet at long range when temperatures top 30C, it was found. The weapon also becomes unreliable when it is left in direct sunlight, exposed to humidity or fired repeatedly, according to a confidential report. The findings have prompted an urgent inquiry into the German-made firearm, which is used by law enforcement officers across the UK. Britain's police forces use a short-barrelled version of the weapon known as the G36C \u2013 and have a total arsenal of up to 3,000. Counter-terror and armed response unit officers use them when they need more firepower than the 9mm pistols or carbines they usually carry. Now experts at the Home Office's Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) will lead the inquiry after Germany said the rifle had 'no future' with its military. A leaked report commissioned by Berlin's defence ministry said the precision and accuracy of the G36 deteriorated when it overheated, either because of the temperature or rapid fire. It concluded that when the atmospheric temperature reached 30C (86F), bullets missed their mark by about 50cm (20 inches) at a range of 200m (220 yards) and by up to six metres \u2013 about 20ft \u2013 over 500m (546 yards). Reports in the German media claimed it also started to become seriously inaccurate after it fired just two magazines \u2013 about 60 rounds. Heckler & Koch denies the weapon is inaccurate. But Britain's National Police Chiefs' Council has asked CAST to consider the findings. Simon Chesterman, spokesman on armed policing, said: 'The reliability of any weaponry that the police service uses is of paramount importance.' Superintendent Kevin Carter, of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, which guards Britain's atomic plants, said it had not experienced problems but added: 'We will monitor the situation and await advice from CAST.' UK police are said to be desperate for a new firearm to help curb the threat of terrorists carrying high-velocity automatic weapons and using body armour. Officers are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain their ageing armoury and are concerned by the discovery of heavy weapons among criminal gangs.

Holland\u2019s national team have already conceded more goals in five Euro 2016 qualifiers than they lost in the entire qualifying campaign for the last World Cup. And still Guus Hiddink never calls or writes. The Celtic defender made it into two squads last year. But one step forward is usually followed by two steps back. When the Dutch were drawing 1-1 with Turkey the other night he was sunning himself in the Arabian Gulf and bumping into club-mates instead. Virgil van Dijk has been in fine form for Celtic but wasn't rewarded with a call-up to the Holland national team . Van Dijk's last call-up to the Dutch side came last year though he has never been capped by his country . \u2018I saw Stuart Armstrong and Callum McGregor,\u2019 he says in deadpan fashion. \u2018The better players were with their national teams. I was in Dubai.\u2019 A holiday in Dubai is rarely a cause of self-pity. Yet van Dijk\u2019s gripe is obvious. His breakthrough to the national squad was short-lived and he can\u2019t shake the nagging belief that he might have a better chance of playing for his country if he performed in a more respected league than the SPFL. Celtic boss Ronny Deila denies this, using Jason Denayer\u2019s Belgium debut against Israel by way of a counter argument. \u2018I don\u2019t think the Belgian national team is any worse than the Dutch,\u2019 he insists. \u2018Right now, it is better. So I don\u2019t think that is the answer. \u2018I don\u2019t know the level of the other central defenders in Holland, but they must be very, very good to be better than Virgil, in my opinion.\u2019 Van Dijk\u2019s rivals for Hiddink\u2019s attentions are Stefan de Vrij, Bruno Martins Indi, Jeffrey Bruma and Joel Veltman. None are superstars. But they play in Italy, Portugal or Holland. All three leagues have a better reputation than the SPFL and the worry for Celtic is that van Dijk knows it. Van Dijk says he was happy for team-mate Jason Denayer, who made his debut for Belgium against Israel . \u2018Yes, I think that\u2019s maybe one of the big reasons,\u2019 says the defender. \u2018They don\u2019t take the (Scottish) league too serious. I don\u2019t know what the reason is, but until then I just need to keep working and hopefully get a call-up. \u2018Nobody asks the manager (Hiddink) or his staff either why I\u2019m not getting a call-up. For me, the only thing I can do is play well for Celtic, work hard and prove myself day in and day out. \u2018I\u2019ve watched most of the games, including the highlights from the Turkey game last week. Sometimes you hope you get a chance. But until that day will come, it\u2019s just for me to work hard and win games for Celtic and prove myself. \u2018If I\u2019m in the national team it would be a big bonus because it\u2019s only like last season that I\u2019ve been playing okay and I\u2019ve tried to continue that this season.

Jefferson County Circuit Judge Laura Petro on Thursday dismissed the case against Anthony Ray Hinton. The district attorney's office told the judge Wednesday that their forensic experts couldn't determine if six crime scene bullets \u2014 which were the crux of the evidence against Hinton at an expected retrial \u2014 came from a gun investigators took from his home. Hinton was convicted of two 1985 murders that occurred during robberies of fast-food restaurants near Birmingham. Prosecutors linked Hinton to the killings through a .38-caliber revolver found at his house. Couldn't match the bullets: Anthony Ray Hinton, pictured this week, spent nearly 30 years on Alabama's death row but will be freed Friday morning after prosecutors told a judge they won't re-try him for two slayings . All smiles: Anthony Ray Hinton hugs his family members after learning he will walk free after spending 30 years behind bars . The U.S. Supreme Court last year sent Hinton's case back for a potential new trial, which prompted a re-examination of the evidence. 'We've been hoping for this. We've believed that this should have happened,' said Bryan Stevenson, Hinton's attorney and director of the Alabama-based Equal Justice Initiative. The Jefferson County District attorney's office could not immediately be reached for comment. Stevenson has been arguing for 16 years that Hinton was innocent and that he was at his job at a warehouse when the crimes were committed. Hinton wept Wednesday night after learning the news that he would finally go free, Stevenson said. A spokesman for the Alabama Department of Corrections said Hinton is expected to be released from the Jefferson County Jail on Friday morning. 'Every day, every month, every year that the state took from him, they took something that they don't have the power to give back. While this moment is quite joyous and is quite wonderful, this case is quite tragic,' Stevenson said. At his initial trial, state experts testified that the four bullets fired during the robberies, and another two from a similar robbery-shooting at a Quincy's restaurant in Bessemer, had all been fired from a revolver found at Hinton's home. Going free: Former death row inmate Anthony Ray Hinton, pictured in an undated older mugshot and an undated more recent mugshot, will go free on Friday after being imprisoned for 30 years . The Supreme Court last year ruled that Hinton had 'constitutionally deficient' representation at his initial trial.

Yet was this the case? Was that 4-2 win a sign that United are the dominant force in Manchester again, or should we just chalk it off as nothing more than a bad game for the defending champions? City had, after all, beaten United four consecutive times going into the derby, so should the red half of Manchester be so confident sitting four points ahead?

City, on the other hand, have four home games you would expect them to win and away matches at Spurs and Swansea. Can City take maximum points between now and the end of the season? In theory they could but that would take some doing from a team that looks to be on the floor.

Both sides started strongly, but it was the Sounders' Lamar Neagle had the first chance of the game after nine minutes, flicking on from a cross that was tipped over the crossbar by Jaime Pendeo. Neagle again saw a header blocked by the keeper after 21 minutes and though it was the visitors with the best of the early chances, one minute later the Galaxy were ahead. Juninho sent a cross dep into the penalty area and centre back Omar Gonzalez rose to direct it back across Stefan Frei's goal. The Swiss goalkeeper scrambled to re-adjust but was beaten to it by Gordon who could hardly miss and duly put the Galaxy into the lead. Neagle had a third chance on the stroke of half-time but couldn't find the net having exploded through the Galaxy defence only to place his shot too close to Penedo who saved easily, diving to his right. The home side went in at the break ahead, and they came close to doubling their lead almost immediately after the break when Robbie Rogers shot low, forcing Frei into a sharp save at his near post. Juninho fired wide from distance moments later. Brad Evans of Seattle Sounders wins a high ball against Galaxy goalscorer Gordon in the first half . But back came the Sounders, and they should have levelled when Andy Rose latched on to a low cross but fired straight at Penedo from point-blank range when anywhere else would have led to a goal. The remainder of the game saw few clear-cut chances.

This image was titled 'Abandoned and murdered small children of the (Armenian) deportees' by Wegner and was taken in 1915-1916 . Wegner, a volunteer military nurse, set up clandestine mail routes with foreign consulates and embassies to get many hundreds of notes, annotations, documents, letters and photographs of the Armenian deportation camps to Germany and the United States. He did so in defiance of strict orders from the Turkish and German authorities aimed at preventing any evidence of the horrors of the 'genocide' reaching the outside world. But his ruse was discovered and he was arrested by the German authorities and put to serve in cholera wards in Baghdad at the request of the Turkish command. There he fell seriously ill, and German-born Wegner left for Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) in November 1916. Hidden in his belt were his photographic plates, and those of other German officers, with images of the Armenian massacre to which he had been a witness. His images, which along with Elder's were provided to MailOnline by the Washington DC-based Armenian National Institute, still retain the power to shock as the world marks the 100th anniversary of the 'genocide' today.

John Terry (centre) celebrates at the final whistle with Didier Drogba (left) and Branislav Ivanovic . Reception .

It was a moment to cherish for the QPR fans as Austin responded to an arm across the chest by shoving Terry to the ground off the ball.

Despite an obvious attempt from Austin to get under the skin of Terry, he largely ignored the attention surrounding him and focused solely on leading his side to an important win while handling the occasion with maturity.

+{"article": "BBC programmes are set to move online as part of a new 'internet first' strategy designed to compete with web services such as Netflix and Amazon. Corporation bosses fear they could be losing younger viewers who are used to watching video online rather than through their TVs, and are promoting digital services in a bid to tackle the problem. But the revelation could spark controversy over the future of the licence fee, because viewers are currently able to use the BBC's online services without paying for them. Going digital: Popular TV shows such as Poldark could one day be migrating to the web as part of BBC plans to become an 'internet first' broadcaster . Matthew Postgate, the BBC's chief technology officer, said in an interview that the corporation needs to remain 'relevant' to a new generation of viewers. 'It's my job over the next five years to put in place the production foundations to be internet first,' he told the Financial Times. He added that traditional media groups such as the BBC would have to 'learn lessons' if they want to 'compete with organisations that were born in the digital age', which are not tied to the methods used to produce broadcast TV. Online services such as Netflix and Amazon have increasingly been producing their own programmes in a bid to take on major broadcasters, while catch-up services including BBC iPlayer have been growing in popularity. Netflix has won plaudits for shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, which can only be watched by subscribers who access the service through their computer, tablet or internet-enabled TV. Hit: Strictly Come Dancing is another popular BBC show which could be affected by the 'internet first' plan . Popular: But shows such as Eastenders, pictured, have lost viewers thanks to the rise of the internet . The rise of catch-up TV, as well as the proliferation of digital services, has caused audiences to shrink dramatically - for example, the remake of Poldark starring Aidan Turner attracted 6.9million viewers for its first episode, less than half the number who tuned in to the original series 40 years ago. While other programmes such as Eastenders and Strictly Come Dancing remain popular, primetime audiences are still much smaller than the highs they reached before the advent of the internet. Matthew Postgate was appointed the BBC's chief technology officer on a salary of \u00a3225,000 - more than the Prime Minister - in July last year. He was previously head of BBC research and development, working on digital projects including high-definition internet broadcasts. Mr Postgate was also involved with developing the BBC iPlayer, and was at one point in charge of the corporation's mobile services. He was educated at Bristol University, and worked as a telecommunications consultant before joining the BBC in 2003. Mr Postgate was appointed last year on a salary of \u00a3225,000 to pick up the pieces after the failure of the \u00a3100million Digital Media Initiative, which was scrapped by director-general Tony Hall.

Insurers are dodging the rules that ban them from charging female drivers less by offering lower premiums to motorists who have jobs that are done mainly by women, he said. Stephen McDonald, of Newcastle University Business School, analysed this pay-by-job system.

He found car insurance costs have plunged for young dental nurses and social workers, which are female-dominated roles. But insurers have pushed up bills for young drivers who have jobs that mean they are likely to be male, such as construction workers and civil engineers. Someone who tells their insurer they are a 21-year-old dental nurse is likely to get car insurance for 10 per cent less than they would have done in 2011, he said. But a 21-year-old plasterer or civil engineer is likely to be paying 13 per cent more. This difference in premiums based on occupation was not seen in older age groups, but only for young drivers \u2013 \u2018where the difference in expected claims between men and women is greatest\u2019, he explained.

+{"article": "Plagued by a feeling something wasn't right, student Yamini Karanam sought medical help. She was struggling to understand things she had read, and felt lost in conversations. But the Indiana University PhD student could never have comprehended the source of the problem - an 'evil twin sister growing' in her brain. Surgeons operating to extract what they believed to be a tumour in her brain, were shocked to discover the growth was in fact an embryonic twin, complete with bone, hair and teeth. Yamini Karanam, 26, a student at Indiana University, was diagnosed with a pineal tumour in her brain after noticing she was struggling to comprehend things she had read, and felt lost in conversations . Known by its medical name, a brain teratoma, the growth is very rare. Indeed, Dr Hrayr Shahinian, the expert at the Skullbase Institute in Los Angeles who operated on Miss Karanam, has removed around 7,000 brain tumours and has seen just two teratomas. In the past, teratomas have been reported to contain hair, teeth, bone and rarely more complex organs including eyes, hands, feet and limbs. And in some cases they have been found to resemble a foetus. Miss Karanam first noticed something wasn't right last September, when she struggled to register things in her mind, NBC reported. 'If a couple of people were talking in a room, I wouldn't understand what was happening,' she said. Frustrated at doctors' apparent inability to find an answer, the 26-year-old launched her own search for answers online. It led her to the Skullbase Institute and Dr Shahinian, who has developed a minimally-invasive way of reaching deep into a person's brain to extract tumours. The procedure, he said, is a type of keyhole surgery rather than traditional brain surgery, which involves opening the skull and using metal retractors to allow him to insert a microscope deep into the brain. Instead, Dr Shahinian makes a half-inch incision in the brain to use fibre-optic technology and digital imagery to gently chisel away at the tumour. Shocked when she woke to learn of Dr Shahinian's discovery, Miss Karanam branded the tumour her 'evil twin sister who's been torturing me for the past 26 years'. Dr Shahinian said he feared the tumour could be cancerous. But surgeons operating on the 26-year-old discovered the growth, indicated just above the red dot above, was in fact a teratoma - a growth containing bone, hair and teeth . WHAT ARE TERATOMAS? A teratoma is a tumour with tissue or organ components from more than one different part of the body. They have been reported to contain hair, teeth, bone and rarely more complex organs including eyes, hands, feet and limbs. In some cases a teratoma has been found to resemble a foetus. They are usually benign masses, though some cancerous forms of teratoma are known to exist. Mature teratomas, which are typically benign, are more commonly found in women. Immature teratoma, which are typically cancerous, are more often found in men. They are thought to be present at birth, but are often not discovered until later", "summary": "Yamini Karanam, 26, was diagnosed with a pineal brain tumour .

Yet as United have dropped like a stone from early-season table-toppers to potentially even missing out on Europe, the fallout has come amid an increasingly acrid war of words surrounding revelations about McNamara\u2019s entitlement to a cut from outgoing player sales. Those close to Tannadice speak of a series of damaging schisms developing on all sides between fans, board and manager; cumulatively casting increased uncertainty over McNamara\u2019s future. Ahead of the annual general meeting of influential supporters\u2019 group ArabTRUST, one leading fan told Sportsmail of \u2018overwhelming unhappiness\u2019 with McNamara\u2019s bonus, while his recruitment and tactical nous are also being questioned.

In 84 days from November 2013 to January 2014, the area around Azle, Texas, shook with 27 magnitude two or greater earthquakes. Now scientists believe these earthquakes were the result of high-pressure injection of drilling wastewater into the ground. A series of earthquakes that rattled a small Texan community have been linked to nearby oil and gas operations. In this image red squares are injector locations; pink arrows, approximate location of two large brine production wells that are located both near the faults and near reported earthquakes swarms . The oil and gas industry uses injection wells to get rid of wastewater, which can have chemicals, heavy metals, salt and radioactive material. The scientists determined this based on where and when the earthquakes happened; computer models that track pressure changes; and company data from nearby wells. Matthew Hornbach, a Southern Methodist University geophysicist, said the timing and location of the quakes correlates better to the drilling and injection than any other possible reason. 'There appears to be little doubt about the conclusion that the earthquakes were in fact induced,' USGS seismologist Susan Hough, who wasn't part of the study team, said in an email. 'There's almost an abundance of smoking guns in this case.' This adds to other studies that linked injecting wastewater from energy wells to a tremendous jump in earthquakes in Oklahoma and southern Kansas. The map shows inferred faults (dashed) at the top of the Blenburger formation, injection wells (red squares), two production wells (API 36734045 and 36734139) with significant brine production near the faults (pink arrows) and earthquake epicentres (coloured circles) recorded by the temporary seismic network (triangles) In these areas, there have been more than 950 magnitude 2 or higher quakes so far this year, according to the USGS. Earlier today, the Oklahoma Geological Society said it is 'very likely' that most of the earthquakes that have shaken the state in recent years have been triggered by the subsurface injection of wastewater from oil and natural gas drilling operations. The society released a statement following an investigation into dozens of earthquakes recorded in central and north-central Oklahoma. The fluid pressure in the pores and fractures of the rocks is called the 'pore pressure.' The pore pressure acts against the weight of the rock and the forces holding the rock together. If the pore pressures are low - especially compared to the forces holding the rock together - then only the imbalance of natural in situ earth stresses will cause an occasional earthquake. If, however, pore pressures increase, then it would take less of an imbalance of in situ stresses to cause an earthquake. This type of failure is called shear failure. Injecting fluids into the subsurface is one way of increasing the pore pressure and causing faults and fractures to 'fail' more easily. Earthquakes can be caused by injecting fluid into the subsurface or by extracting fluids at a rate that causes subsidence and slippage along planes of", "summary": "Azle has recently been shaken by 27 quakes with magnitude two or greater .

+{"article": "On first glance they appear to simply be bland, bleach-white seashells, but when viewed under ultraviolet light they are transformed. Scientists have used a new technique to reconstrcut the colourful patterns on 28 fossilised cone snail shells that are up to 6.6 million years old. The technique has allowed researchers to look millions of years into the past to see how these once elaborately decorated shells would have once looked. The fossilised cone snail shells have bleached over time, like the one labelled A, but under ultraviolet light traces of pigment still in the shells are revealed, labelled B, allowing their colours to be reconstrcuted (C) Instead of being a simple white colour, they were infact covered in streaks of orange, purple, blue and even large pokadots. The scientists now believe the cone snail shells, which come from the northern Dominican Republic, include 13 entirely new species. A deadly tropical sea snail uses a super-potent form of insulin to subdue its fish prey, scientists have discovered. The geographic cone snail (Conus geographus) uses the chemical to cause a plunge in blood sugar, leaving the fish sluggish and unable to swim to safety. In this way the snail is able to entrap whole schools of small fish. C. geographus is one of the most venomous creatures on Earth, and known to have killed dozens of people in accidental encounters. It hunts in two ways, both by releasing toxins into the water and by firing a harpoon-like poison-tipped tooth into its prey.No antidote exists for a cone snail sting, which contains a mixture of nerve agents. The new research has uncovered one highly unusual ingredient in the cone snail's venom cocktail - weaponised insulin. In tests, a synthetic version of the hormone - made from shorter protein chains than normal insulin - lowered the blood sugar levels of adult zebrafish. Injected into water, it also reduced the movements of fish larvae. There are about 30 recorded instances of people being killed by cone snails, some of which have attractive and collectible shells. Dr Jonathan Hendricks, a paleontologist at the San Jose State University who led the research, said that the lack of colouration in many fosisilised cone snail shells made them difficult to identify. He said: 'Original coloration patterns \u2014 if not the actual colors themselves \u2014sometimes become visible when fossil shells are illuminated with ultraviolet light, which causes formerly pigmented regions of the shell to fluoresce. 'Once a specimen has been photographed under UV light, it is possible to use photoediting software to reconstruct the original shell coloration pattern. 'This is done by creating a reversed, negative image, which causes bright, fluorescing markings to become darkened, corresponding with regions that were once pigmented.' Dr Hendricks used the ultraviolet technique to examine a range of fossilised shells that were discovered in the Cibao Valley of the northern Dominican Republic. Although it is now a rich and fertile inland valley, millions of years ago during the Neogene it was covered by ocean. All cone snails are venomous and predatory, with many species still around today.", "summary": "Fossilised cone snail shells found in Cibao Valley of Dominican Republic .

Sutcliffe, MP for Bradford South and deputy leader of Bradford City council at the time of the tragedy, says he knew Heginbotham 'flew by the seat of his pants' in terms of the finances of the club but remains convinced by the conclusion of the inquiry by high court judge Mr Justice Popplewell that the fire was an accident.

'There will always be speculation but I just think it was a tragedy that cost the lives of 56 people and injured many more, and has scarred the city for many years.'

Exam board officials yesterday unveiled a draft syllabus for 14 to 16-year-olds which they said would \u2018make content more contemporary\u2019. Some students will be asked to study a review of a gritty 15-rated foreign film, while others will look at Spanish tweets on the Olympic Games. The proposals, announced by Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR), aim to rid classrooms of \u2018tired phrases\u2019 which some pupils now see as outdated. The board said children were \u2018uninspired\u2019 by conventional topics like \u2018my school day\u2019, \u2018my pencil case\u2019 and \u2018my family\u2019. It said the new French, German and Spanish GCSEs would allow pupils to talk about their interests using updated content. Exam board officials also hope to \u2018bring back linguistic skills\u2019 by focusing on grammar as a component of an indispensable language \u2018toolkit\u2019. OCR languages expert Katherine Smith said: \u2018This entails moving away from working too long on a clich\u00e9d topic until a student is bored with it, to working on more appealing subjects, and with an all-important shift in emphasis on the skills that they can transfer across content. \u2018Current GCSE specifications have focused on preparing coursework which is more about the theme than learning the building blocks of a language. \u2018This has de-skilled students and led to \u2018topic fatigue\u2019. Our new approach should fundamentally improve both the student\u2019s enjoyment and their linguistic ability.\u2019 The course content, which has now been submitted to Ofqual for approval, would be studied by pupils from 2016. The board said it had disposed of old topics including \u2018My holiday\u2019, \u2018Aur\u00e9lie and Fabian go to town\u2019 or \u2018Mathilde\u2019s school day\u2019. One teacher at an OCR teacher consultation said: \u2018Students are not really going to meet somebody in a caf\u00e9 in Paris and describe their entire family.\u2019 Pupils would no longer be forced to recite phrases like \u2018I have a grapefruit every morning\u2019 and instead would be able to express views such as \u2018In my opinion a discreet tattoo is an expression of your personality\u2019. In the new draft German GCSE, there is a film review of the thriller Run Lola Run, which is rated 15 and features some mild violence. In the Spanish GCSE, students will be asked to look at tweets on the Olympic Games. Exam board officials yesterday unveiled a draft syllabus for 14 to 16-year-olds which they said would \u2018make content more contemporary\u2019 Other proposed content includes listening to a radio broadcast on rap music and discussing online gaming and YouTube. Potential topics include Cannes Film Festival, volunteering abroad and foreign food. Experts said the new content would take inspiration from methods used to teach English as a foreign language. Literature extracts will be also be studied at the request of the Department for Education, including passages from an Ionesco play.

'I have contact with Memphis on a daily basis about many things, but not on a specific club or league.'

Speaking to Dutch daily newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, Van Steijn said: 'If I compare him to a young Cristiano Ronaldo at the time, then Depay has more strings to his bow. I like him better.

Ed Miliband will today claim Labour\u2019s attitude to immigration has \u2018changed\u2019 \u2013 despite still refusing to put any upper limit on the numbers allowed in. In an audacious move, the Labour leader will insist that he offers a \u2018clear, credible and concrete plan on immigration \u2013 not false promises\u2019.

Speaking in the Vale of Glamorgan today, Mr Miliband will claim that Labour would implement a ten-point plan for curbing immigration during its first 100 days in office. It includes recruiting an additional 1,000 border staff, banning recruitment agencies from hiring only from overseas and making it illegal for employers to undercut wages by exploiting workers. However, the Tories are likely to point out that a number of the proposals are already in the process of being implemented. They include the introduction of full exit checks to count people in and out of the country and \u2018stopping those who have committed serious crimes coming to Britain\u2019.

Annual price growth across the country will then gradually accelerate again over the next five years, hitting 4 per cent by 2020. This year will be the first since 2009 that the UK as a whole out-performs London, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research. This is because while prices in the capital stagnate, the housing market is still performing well in the East and South-East, and parts of the Midlands and North of England. But the CEBR said this victory for the provinces would be short-lived, since the London market will also recover in 2016.

Ince crashed home a stunning 25-yard drive on 16 minutes seconds after seeing a free-kick from similar distance saved. Derby lost Craig Bryson to injury early on and then Zak Whitbread also went off on 27 minutes. After that Huddersfield, seeking back-to-back home wins against play-off contenders after beating Ipswich last time out, stepped up a gear. Nahki Wells and Ishmael Miller went close before three goals in seven minutes left Derby shell-shocked. There was controversy about Huddersfield's first on 38 minutes when Oscar Gobern appeared to handle Conor Coady's ball into the box. Everybody except Gobern seemed to stop for a flag or whistle but neither came and he hooked in from close range. Gobern, out of contract at the end of the season, last scored for Huddersfield in January 2012. A Mark Hudson header from a Reece James corner deflected into the net off a Derby defender on 41 minutes. Reece James, on-loan from Manchester United, then scored his first goal for the Terriers straight from a corner. He whipped in an effort from the right in first-half injury time and it went in after Derby keeper Lee Grant came for but missed the ball. Derby came out for the second half on fire and were quickly level when first Simon Dawkins and then Jesse Lingard scored. Substitute Dawkins fired in from a Stephen Warnock cross on 52 minutes while Lingard struck from outside the box after Dawkins initially tried to shoot. Midfielder Lingard, like James, is on loan from Manchester United but unlike the Town man has just signed new a two-year contract at Old Trafford.

With Easter just around the corner we thought it would be helpful to give you a real life gauge on how much cardio you'll need to put in to get the most out of your Easter binge session. Starting at the very bottom of the chocolate egg scale is the mini solid egg, around four of them equate to 550 kilojules. After eating only four mini solid chocolate eggs that contain 550 kilojules you'll need to run for at least 40 minutes to melt the calories away . A 67-kilogram woman who ate only four of these snack sized treats would need to vigorously walk for around 40 minutes before the guilt, and the calories melted away. A man weighing in at around 80 kilograms could achieve the same in 30 minutes.

Anderson, watched by his parents, wife, two daughters and agent and needing four wickets to overtake the great Sir Ian Botham's haul of 383, claimed only one early victim in West Indies opener Devon Smith in his 13 overs, which went for 24 runs and eight maidens. Jimmy Anderson moved to within two wickets of Sir Ian Botham's record of 383 Test wickets . Anderson could only take the one wicket on day two of the first Test in Antigua .

Jordan took a stunning slip catch off Tredwell to dismiss West Indies vice-captain Kraigg Brathwaite, who claimed after play that he thought Anderson ' looked tired'.

+{"article": "Wojciech Szczesny must use his current spell out of the Arsenal side as a catalyst to come back a stronger goalkeeper, according to former club legend David Seaman. Szczesny has found himself demoted to the substitutes' bench in recent months due to a combination of poor performances and the form of David Ospina since the new year. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has benefited from competition for places brought by the \u00a33.2 million signing of Colombian Ospina from Nice last summer, as eight consecutive wins have lifted his side to second in the Premier League. Wojciech Szczesny hasn't played a Premier League game since the 2-0 defeat to Southampton in January . David Ospina boasts the highest win ratio of any Premier League player to make more than 10 appearances . Szczesny is expected to line up in goal for Arsenal in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Reading at Wembley, and Seaman believes the Poland international can make the number one jersey his own once more. 'With Wojciech, it must be hard for him now to be number two, coming off the back of a season where he was a regular and had been playing at his best, but it is totally just because he had a couple of bad mistakes and Ospina has gone in and done his stuff,' Seaman said. 'Either of them could be Arsenal's number one, it is about who is on form - and if Ospina keeps his form, then he is going to stay there.' Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman was speaking as an ambassador for the 'Know the Score' campaign against bowel cancer to Press Association Sport. Szczesny compounded his indifferent on-field performances by being caught smoking in the showers after defeat at Southampton on New Year's Day - the last time the 24-year-old started a league game for the North Londoners. But Seaman has every faith in the 6ft 5in deposed keeper, believing that if Szczesny takes the positives from a spell on the sidelines, he can emerge a far better goalkeeper in the years to come. The 51-year-old continued: 'It is not a difficult situation, but it keeps you on your toes to know that there is quality behind you. 'It is not just the games which make you play better, it is the training. 'The goalkeepers train together, and you see the other guy, you think \"I want to be better than him\" or \"I am going to show him how good I am\". That is day to day and is good because it brings the best out of you and tests you, so you become a better goalkeeper.' David Seaman is a former English goalkeeper who joined Arsenal from Queens Park Rangers in 1990 for \u00a31.3m, a then British record transfer fee for a goalkeeper. He spent 13 seasons at the Gunners, winning the old First Division Championship and the Premier League twice.

Brandon Afoa, 33, of Puyallup, Washington, was operating a tug to push aircraft at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport when the brakes and steering failed, causing him to crash into a luggage lift. The incident, which took place at 2am on December 26, 2007, left Afoa unable to use his legs or right arm. Much of his intestinal tract also had to be removed by surgeons. Afoa went on to sue Port of Seattle - which owns and operates the Sea-Tac airport - in King County Superior Court, saying that the company failed to maintain a safe workplace. Closure: An airport worker has been awarded $40 million in compensation for a freak runway accident which left him paralyzed from the waist down more than seven years ago . But for years the case was locked in the courts because the Port of Seattle claimed it wasn't liable for what happened as Afoa worked for a private firm. In a bid to move things forward, the state supreme court finally ruled in 2013 that the airport had a 'duty' to provide a safe working environment. On Tuesday a King County jury awarded Afoa $40 million because of what the incident has done to his life. Indeed, the paraplegic needs round-the-clock help from caregivers just to survive. In the courtroom a panel was shown video footage of Afoa being craned from his bed by a special lift to a commode and undergoing therapy. Jurors went on to apportion 25per cent of the blame for the accident to the Port of Seattle.

Remake: In the updated version, the 'lovingly detailed' puppets are replaced by computer-generated images . Writing for the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Anderson, whose father died aged 83 in December 2012, said: 'The classic Thunderbirds shows have sometimes attracted fond criticism as \"quaint\", \"naff\" and \"full of wobbly sets\". 'But there is something to be said for real-world physics, the constraints they bring to film-making, and the ingenuity and beauty that results as we grapple with them. 'With CGI, by contrast, anything is possible. There are virtually no limitations. Impossible camera angles and effects can be achieved, and constraints get ever looser.' He added: 'I'm very fond of puppets, physical models and practical effects \u2013 real explosions rather than computer-generated ones.

Direct Assist, based in Bolton, Lancashire, told one complainant that they were likely to be called for three years until they made a claim, despite repeated requests for their details to be removed. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) registered 801 concerns about the company between January 2013 and July last year.

One elderly and deaf complainant said the callers left them in fear of answering the phone that they relied on to maintain contact with family. Direct Assist, which offered access to solicitors for claims, continued to call despite being given this information, the ICO said. The ICO found that Direct Assist instructed its staff to deliberately use phone numbers from lists that included people on the TPS, even claiming that the calls were being made by someone else using their company name. ICO head of enforcement Steve Eckersley said: 'Direct Assist's behaviour shows a blatant disregard for the law and the customers they tried to contact. 'Even though the TPS contacted them 525 times to warn them about complaints being made they continued to market their services through unsolicited phone calls.

Facebook also announced plans to begin supporting virtual reality on its newsfeed, meaning that users will be able to put on a VR headset and explore a location of their choosing. These videos are expected to be filmed with multiple cameras, so users will be able to change their viewpoints, allowing for even more in-depth exploration. Described as a 'first step,' it's also believed that even more immersive videos are on the horizon, including those which will use Oculus Rift, the virtual reality headset that straps over your eyes. 'VR is more than just another platform, it can create a whole range of human experiences,' said Michael Abrash, the Chief Scientist at Oculus.

The research, by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, reported Popular Science, was presented at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Seoul. In their paper, the researchers explained how they asked 13 joggers to run for an average of 26 minutes with a drone - specifically a quadcopter - as a companion. The goal was to see if a drone could motivate a runner to keep their pace up, and provide a companion that helped them stay fit. In this experiment, the quadcopters were programmed to follow a set path and speed, which the joggers also followed. The drone was designed to fly 13ft (four metres) in front of the jogger at a height of 10ft (three metres).

A secret meeting between intelligence figures in Moscow and Washington reportedly revealed Putin will consider any attempt to return the Crimean peninsula to Ukraine as declaration of war and will take any necessary step - including using nuclear weapons - to retain control of the region. Notes from the meeting are also said to have revealed that Putin is planning imminent 'destabilising actions' in pro-Western Baltic states in a direct challenge to Nato's promise to defend the countries from Soviet-style Russian expansionism. These disturbances are thought to likely involve cyber attacks or ramping up local ethnic tensions in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania intended to unsettle the region. Threat: Vladimir Putin will consider any attempt to return the Crimean peninsula to Ukraine as declaration of war and will take any necessary step - including using nuclear weapons - to retain control of the region . Notes from the top secret meeting between American and Russian officials in Germany last month have reportedly been seen by The Times. They suggest Russia is prepared to respond with force to the build up of Nato defence forces in the Baltic and by carrying out a wave of cyber attacks that can not be traced back to Moscow. The Kremlin officials - who were briefed by Russian Foreign Minister Segei Lavrov before the meeting and spoke of behalf of Putin - are said to have issued 'a spectrum of responses from nuclear to non-military' in response to the growing Nato army in the region. As well as the situation in the Baltics, two other potential flashpoints were reportedly identified that could lead to nuclear war between Russia and the West: the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, and any future attempt to return the annexed Crimean peninsula to Ukraine. Firepower: Moscow described Nato's supply of weapons to Ukrainian military (pictured) - who hope to defeat pro-Russian rebels in the east of the country - as a 'further encroachment' on the Russian border . In Crimea, Russia is understood to have said that any attempt remove the region from Russian control would be met 'forcefully including through the use of nuclear force'. Meanwhile, Moscow described Nato's supply of weapons to Ukraine in the hope of defeating pro-Russian rebels in the east of the country as a 'further encroachment' on the Russian border. 'The Russian people would demand a forceful response [to such advances]', the Kremlin intelligence chiefs reportedly added. It is the threat posed by Russia to the Baltic states that is thought to be imminent, however, after Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all raised concerns that Moscow has ambitions in the former Soviet territories, prompting Nato to establish a 'rapid reaction force' in the region.

+{"article": "Former pub landlord Michael Thorpe has had his conviction for illegally showing foreign footage of Premier League games overturned after eight years . A pub landlord convicted of showing Premier League football matches on foreign TV channels has won an eight-year legal battle to clear his name. Michael Thorpe says he has paid a heavy price for the lengthy fight to get his conviction quashed and has lost his pub as a result. Mr Thorpe, 55, was convicted of showing a Premier League game without having an agreement with official broadcasters in November 2006 at the Stoke Inn in Plymouth, Devon. He said he could not afford to pay Sky TV's rates for football matches, and opted instead to show Albanian transmissions of matches, which he says he thought was legal. But he was convicted, fined and ordered to pay costs eight years ago, when screening the matches was still treated as a criminal offence. Judge Recorder Nicolas Gerasimidis has now upheld his appeal and overturned the conviction following a landmark European court ruling. His appeal took so long as he had to launch the case after the European Court of Justice found enforcing previous rules was anti-competitive. Mr Thorpe said he was 'overwhelmed' that a judge and magistrates had upheld his appeal after all this time. But it is a bitter-sweet victory, as the long-running dispute cost him his business and his livelihood. He said: 'We put a lot of money into that pub and it went from a thriving business to absolutely zero. People stopped coming to the pub, it cost me my business.' Mr Thorpe launched an appeal against his conviction soon after his trial, but the case was delayed by a similar test case which went as far as the European Court of Justice. The court ruled that having an exclusive system was a restraint of free trade and contrary to European Law. But the landlord says the court action has seen him lose the Stoke Inn in Plymouth which he used to run . Mr Thorpe's appeal was further delayed until another case involving Media Protection Services Ltd, the company which took him to court on behalf of the Premier League, but which no longer does so. Mr Thorpe was awarded his legal costs, which he paid privately, but he would not disclose the sum. The European court decision in 2012 cleared a landlady of a criminal conviction, but judges left the door open for court action against publicans by ruling pubs should get permission from the copyright owner before screening matches. The Premier League has since been taking landlords to civil courts for breaching copyright, with some ordered to pay up to \u00a365,000 in costs. The league sends teams of investigators to pubs around the country to try and catch those screening games illegally. Legal cases have been brought against 250 bars and pubs during the current football season.

And while the craft beer revolution has seen connoisseurs knock back their interesting ales and small batch brews, news of the latest offering might put off even the biggest of fans. Promising to make the hardiest of stomachs turn before even a sip is supped, this new craft beer will be brewed from human sewage. Recycling gone too far? US alcohol regulators have approved plans for beer brewed from human waste . Production of the beer has been approved by alcohol regulators in Oregon, US, and will be made from waste gathered by sewage treatment firm Clean Water Services. The company will treat the effluent before handing it over to microbrewers who will turn it into a tasty tipple. According to a 50-page report which was handed to alcohol regulators, the sewage would pose 'very low human health risk' and would be treated to 'very high standards'. There will only be ten barrels of beer made and it won't be available in shops but there is talk of mass production if the drink proves popular. In the report, Robert Baumgartner, an assistant director at Clean Water Services, told regulators it was designed to 'raise awareness of the reusable nature of all water'. 'By highlighting craft beer, a product Oregon is known for around the world, the project will seek to engage... people everywhere in a conversation about water,' he continued. The scheme, which is backed by The Oregon Brewers Guld and Oregen Brew Crew, is proving to be highly unpopular with state residents. According to The Mirror, Resident Dorothy Shoemaker said: 'The water meets drinking water requirements, but does it smell and taste good?' Elizabeth Graser-Lindset added: 'There is plenty of clean water in Oregon. 'Let's let the ground do the purifying as water sinks a hundred or more feet to the water table.

Bilal Skaf was assaulted by three other inmates in the yard of Goulburn Correctional Centre on Friday. A Corrective Services statement confirmed a '33-year-old inmate' sustained minor head injuries and was treated in hospital before returning the same day. Sydney rape gang leader Bilal Skaf has been attacked by fellow inmates at Goulburn Correctional Ccomplex in NSW. He is pictured (in orange overalls) with his mother, Baria (right) inside Goulburn's Supermax prison on internal prison CCTV in 2002 when he tried to smuggle letters to his girlfriend out through Mrs Skaf . Bilal Skaf (left and right) was the leader of the rape gang which terrorised Sydney teenage girls on a four-week rampage before the 2000 Sydney Olympics for which he received a 46 year sentence and will be eligible for parole, if he behaves himself in prison and admits his crime, in 2033 . Gang rape leader Bilal Skaf pictured in the living room of his family home in Sydney's western suburbs posing with a firearm next to a photograph of his parents and siblings, including his younger brother Mohammed who was also convicted for the rapes and is serving 32 years in a cell shared with Bilal . 'Three inmates have been segregated while the investigation continues,' Corrective Services said. In 2002, Skaf was sentenced to 55 years' jail for his part in a series of gang rapes in Sydney's southwest. Skaf was one of 14 mostly Muslim Lebanese Australians who went on a four-week rampage of raping Australian women and teenage girls in Sydney in the lead-up to the 2000 Olympics. The gang members, aged between 13 and 18 years, lured the girls from shopping centres and train stations and took them to parks and public toilet blocks. Daily Mail Australia previously reported that one of the victims was raped 25 times by a total of 14 men at Bankstown, in Sydney's west, in an ordeal that lasted six hours, during which the attackers subjected her to racist taunts. Skaf was aged 18 at the time of his rapes and is not eligible for parole until February 11, 2033.

Scientists announced today that measurements made by the European space probe Philae, which landed on comet 67P in November, show the comet's core isn't magnetised. Some astrophysicists have suggested that magnetism might have been responsible for aligning and then binding together rocks into larger boulders during the early stages of planet formation. A composite of 18 images showing off the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko activity from different angles as seen between 31 January (top left) and 25 March (bottom right), when the spacecraft was at distances of about 30 to 100 km from the comet . But in a paper published online by the journal Science, the team led by Hans-Ulrich Auster at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany, said their data \u2014 which benefited from three unexpected bounces that allowed Philae to collect more results than planned \u2014 don't support this theory. 'If the surface was magnetised, we would have expected to see a clear increase in the magnetic field readings as we got closer and closer to the surface,' said Auster. 'If comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is representative of all cometary nuclei, then we suggest that magnetic forces are unlikely to have played a role in the accumulation of planetary building blocks greater than one meter (3 feet) in size.'

The infant Solar System was once nothing more than a swirling disc of gas and dust but, within a few million years, the Sun burst into life in the centre of this turbulent disc, with the leftover material going into forming the asteroids, comets, moons and planets. The dust contained an appreciable fraction of iron, some of it in the form of magnetite. Indeed, millimetre-sized grains of magnetic materials have been found in meteorites, indicating their presence in the early Solar System. This leads scientists to believe that magnetic fields threading through the proto-planetary disc could have played an important role in moving material around as it started to clump together to form larger bodies.

A policeman on a motorbike pulls up to take charge of the situation and stop more cyclists risking their safety for the race - yet another three daredevils slip past him and onto the crossing.

You could see riders nipping across but that train wasn't slowing down', he said. Around 85km into the race, the cyclists desperately try to cross the traintracks before the barriers descend .

The race is known for its challenging 254km route, which includes 27 cobbled sections and level crossings.

'Even if I've been dropped or crashed, I'll ride on with a broken collarbone just to come into the velodrome as it's my last race. No other race would be like that.' During the race his teammate Geriant Thomas - who managed to avoid the level crossing incident - suffered a puncture. It was a fitting end for Wiggins, who was among the first riders to join Team Sky", "summary": "Ultra-competitive racers risk life and limb to cross railway 85km into race .

Brett Robinson will now stand trial next week on 12 charges related to sexual misconduct and official misconduct, on allegations that she let the inmate out of his cell multiple times and engaging in sex acts between March and July last year. Robinson was hoping to present a psychologists report as evidence of mental disease or defect. The report said she was suffering from mental illness at the time of the alleged encounters and that it made her 'vulnerable, passive and gullible'. However at a motion hearing, Circuit Judge Andrew Erwin ruled the evidence was insufficient and that Robinson would have to go to trial on April 28 without it. The judge went in favor of the prosecution, who said the report should have been filed as evidence last year if the defense were going to argue insanity. Defense denied: A judge ruled Wednesday that attorneys for Brett Robinson, 33, waited too long to file an insanity defense, ruling evidence that she was suffering from mental illness when she engaged in sex acts with a prison inmate last year as insufficient .

State law says that defendants should file notice regarding evidence of mental disease or defect when they plead not guilty, Oregon Live reported. The judge said the defense filing it on April 10 was 'untimely' and that he didn't want to delay the trial. The case follows that of her colleague Lisa Curry, 39, who last month was sentenced to over four years prison for repeatedly having sex with a 25-year-old gang member and convicted rapist. Robinson, who worked in a maximum security control room known as 'the bubble', struck up a relationship with the inmate - who has not been named - in a nearby cell. The two would talk using an intercom when Robinson's manager left the room. According to the psychologist's report obtained by Robinson felt flattered by the compliments she got from the inmate and started to 'open up to him' early last year.Then, in March, the inmate asked for a kiss on his birthday. When her manager went to lunch, Robinson released the inmate from his cell and brought him into the bubble. She thought it strange that he brought a blanket with him from the cell, the report said. 'He kissed me so passionately, I was taken aback. 'I asked about the blanket. 'He said ''I was hoping we could go farther''. 'Then he was saying ''we don't have time to discuss this'', so I had sex with him.'

From a \u00a335 ASOS polka-dot dress to Seraphine shifts, the Duchess is proof that you don't have to splash out to look gorgeous while expecting. Leading the High Street charge to the Duchess of Cambridge's wardrobe is Hobbs, a mid-range label that has taken her through everything from glamorous evening events to international tours. So enamoured is Kate of the brand, even Zara, of which she was once a die-hard fan, has had to make way for it, although another budget favourite, L.K Bennett, also remains a favourite.

Since campaigning group GetUp launched The Gender Price Gap website last week, members and everyday consumers have identified nine separate products that have identical female versions which cost more. Bonds has been identified as one of the main culprits, advertising a button-up shirt, that comes in both 'summer blue' and 'blue denim' colour options, on their Australian website for $59.95. GetUp's new website, The Gender Price Gap, has exposed nine everyday items that cost more for women . This is despite the products being identical in almost every way except whether they are targeted towards women or men . However, the exact same shirt advertised under the men's clothing section is advertised for only $49.95. Other examples highlighted on the website, which show increases from as little as 11c or even 1c for items marketed towards females, highlight the absurd and unexplained price difference even further. While some might argue that they don't mind paying an additional few cents now and again, GetUp's senior campaigner, Kelsey Cooke, told Daily Mail Australia that the costs accumulate significantly over a number of years. 'I don't mind paying an extra 60 cents for whatever item it might be that I like, but when you think about it in terms of weekly and yearly costs, it's hundreds or even thousands of dollars more than my partner would be paying - even if we had the same shopping list,' Ms Cooke said. Other examples highlighted on the website, which show price increases by as little as 11c or even 1c for items marketed towards females, highlight the absurd and unexplained price difference even further . Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs, for instance, which were advertised on Coles' website for $2.20, have a pink packaged 'girls' version for $2.30. Meanwhile a packet of five Gillette disposable razors for women was photographed costing $4.50 at a supermarket while the men's version, a packet of 10 disposables identical in everything but colour, cost $8.91. The reason for the 1c price difference per razor remains a mystery. When asked why companies would charge women more for the same items, Ms Cooke said there were two answers that GetUp had considered. While some might argue that they don't mind paying an additional few cents now and again, GetUp 's senior campaigner, Kelsey Cooke, told Daily Mail Australia that the costs accumulate significantly over the years . A children's mechanic set, sold by the same company, differs greatly in price. But is there really a difference? 'One is the idea that men's products are thought of as the standard product - the neutral or base product - but the women's version is usually a \"special\" version or a side product. It all comes down to a theory being debated, that women are considered \"the other\" and different, and thus it being OK to charge a premium for the product even if it's no different,'", "summary": "The Gender Price Gap website has exposed nine products that have identical female versions that cost more .

However her mother Heather has told The Daily Telegraph that her daughter believed the cancer treatment would harm her unborn child, named Aroura. 'She knew chemo would kill Aroura \u2014 she put the baby first each and every time and no matter what happened, she wanted that baby alive,' Heather said. A pregnant Jehovah's Witness woman and her baby have died after she refused a blood transfusion . 'We were told she would have six weeks to live \u2014 she fought to have the baby. That's the decision she made \u2014 she gave up her life.' Instead she blamed local doctors for her daughter's unnecessary death, claiming they should have tested her for the cancer sooner, but instead only attributed her symptoms to the flu and her pregnancy. The Sydney mother's baby died in utero three days after she was offered a caesarean. She had a stillbirth and died 13 days after her diagnosis by suffering a stroke and multi-organ failure. Jenny-Lee's elder daughter Chelsie, who was only 10 when her mother died in August 2009, also defended her mother. However the 28-year-old's brother David blamed the religion for how his sister died, calling her a 'fool'. 'It was not my sister who was sad and selfish, it is this religion and any other teaching this sort of nonsense,' he said. Jenny-Lee, 28, had pregnancy complications due to her leukaemia but rejected treatment on religious grounds . Her treating haematologist at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick, Dr Giselle Kidson-Gerber, said the mother understood the risks of her refusal to accept blood. 'Her refusal to receive a blood transfusion meant that we were unable to perform a caesarean section and to deliver the foetus,' Dr Kidson-Gerber told Daily Mail Australia. 'Obviously it's a very big ethical issue. Legally in Australia the mother has the right to make decisions on her behalf and her foetus's behalf. 'Most mothers would make decisions in favour of the unborn baby and this was a decision that was not in favour of the unborn baby.' Dr Kidson-Gerber added: 'If we were to give chemotherapy without blood transfusion support she surely would have died.' She was being treated at the Royal Hospital for Women and the Prince of Wale Hospital in Randwick . Hospital staff were 'distressed' over what were perceived to be two avoidable deaths, as 83 percent of pregnant leukaemia sufferers go into remission with treatment. Dr Kidson-Gerber said it was a challenge to respect a patient who refuses life-saving treatment. 'It was sad.

By the end of the first half, the gaze had probably focused elsewhere. While a rivalry like this one can capture the imagination of a city - and there is no doubting by the build up that Milan had been hit by derby fever - it takes a concoction of quality, intensity and passion to hold the attention of the average neutral. Not all elements were present at the San Siro. A goalless first half had produced the odd burst of quality, but little intensity. A goalless second provided little more. Former Chelsea defender Alex sees his attempt blocked by Inter keeper Samir Handanovic, in one of the game's few clear-cut chances . Philippe Mexes thought he had scored an own goal, as did his keeper Diego Lopez, but it was ruled out and the game remained goalless .

There was plenty of passion on show, but that was largely displayed by both sets of supporters. That both sides are struggling was obvious from the pre-match build up. The painstaking effort put into pre-match choreographies of both Inter's Curva Nord and Milan's Curva Sud emphasised that this was no ordinary derby. There was much riding on it. This was their season in a nutshell. And so it proved on the pitch. A wayward pass from former Cardiff City man Gary Medel after just 51 seconds set the tone, his searching long ball falling straight into the hands of Milan keeper Diego Lopez, with umpteen other options on. There were glimmers of the potential Roberto Mancini's Inter possess. Hernanes almost lit up the occasion with a wicked left-footed shot that had to be beaten away by Diego Lopez as it threatened his top corner. Mateo Kovacic attempted something similar three minutes later, only his effort failed to find the target. There was insight into why both sides are languishing in mid-table this season too. Juan Jesus' momentary blip saw him almost turn Jeremy Menez's cross into his own net, while Lopez was almost caught on the ball by Mauro Icardi. These are the unnecessary nervy moments that the top teams tend to avoid. Milan's chances were few, Suso providing Samir Handanovic with his first action of the game after 20 minutes, a routine stop from a stinging shot after the Liverpool loanee cut in from the right.

+{"article": "Edwin Mee denies a series of sex offences which complainants claim took place when he worked as as an Army recruitment sergeant in Croydon . An Army recruitment sergeant who served with the Special Forces in Iraq has denied sex attacks on 11 female cadets - saying they 'never happened'. Edwin Mee, 46, is said to have abused his position of power to abuse or rape 11 alleged victims while working at an Army careers centre in Croydon, south London. The Scottish officer - known as 'Jock' - allegedly carried out the attacks on women aged from 15 to their early twenties between October 2010 and September 2011. Taking to the witness box to give evidence at London's Southwark Crown Court today, Mee told jurors about his military career, and firmly denied the allegations. He branded one alleged victim - who says she became pregnant after he raped her - a 'time waster' and a liar. Lisa Wilding QC, defending, asked her client: 'The allegations against you are that in respect of two complainants, that you raped them, and in respect of the others that you touched them sexually, what do you say generally about those allegations?' Mee replied: 'That never happened ma'am.' Mee joined the army aged 24, and went on to serve tours of duty in Iraq - where he was attached to the Special Forces, and Afghanistan - where he was attached to a parachute regiment - and Bosnia, jurors heard. By the time the allegations against him came to light he had acquired the rank of sergeant, and he was suspended in 2011. The court was told that Mee was medically discharged from the Army in April 2014. He explained that his father had been an engineer in the Royal Navy, his mother an Army nurse, and that his step-brothers had also been in the Army. Lisa Wilding QC, defending Mee, asked him how he felt about his time in the Army. He replied: 'Everyone knows how I feel about the Army. My family served in it - the Army was my life, and if it wasn't for all this mess, I would still be there.' When arrested, Mee gave a prepared statement to police denying the allegations against him. Referring to one of the rape allegations, he said: 'I have never raped any person in my life.' He went on to deny each of the sexual assault allegations saying 'I did not sexually assault any person', when talking about each individual incident. However, giving evidence, Mee conceded that he would often swear in the recruitment office and shouted at recruits saying things like 'I'll rip your head off and s*** down your throat'.

Kristen Bieniewicz of Westland, the representative of her husband's estate, is suing Bassel Saad, along with another man who controlled the team and the soccer league. Kristen Bieniewicz of Westland (pictured left with her late husband) has filed a $51 million lawsuit against Bassel Saad (right) who is in prison for throwing a punch that killed her husband during a game last summer . Bieniewicz died after Saad punched him in the head just moments before Saad would have been ejected from a weekend game in Livonia. Dr. Jamal Saleh said he rushed toward Bieniewicz, who was on his back grasping a yellow card in one hand and a red card in the other, and performed CPR which failed to work. 'We hope this lawsuit sends a message that when you commit uncivilized acts in a civilized world there are consequences, even beyond the criminal realm,' said attorney James Acho, who had known Bieniewicz since childhood. Cyril Hall, Saad's attorney in the criminal case, said Friday that the lawsuit surprises him. 'Bassel Saad is not an individual of wealth. He was a mechanic,' Hall said.

The Associated Press left messages seeking comment from a telephone listing for the soccer league. Saad, 37, was recently sentenced to at least eight years in prison after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter. He expressed remorse in court and said he prays for the Bieniewicz family. The lawsuit also names the Michigan United Soccer League, which is accused of allowing Saad to play despite his reputation as a violent player. Citing his doctor, the lawsuit described Bieniewicz, who had two children, as being in great health with the potential to live to age 95. Bieniewicz is pictured being administered CPR on the turf after being knocked out cold by Saad . 'I speak for his dozens of buddies, many of whom go back to our days at Catholic Central High, and we want justice for his family,' said Acho, who is handling the case with co-counsel Karen Daley. In 2005, Saad was involved in another assault on a soccer field. Court documents obtained by Detroit Free Press indicate that he repeatedly struck another player in the head. Saad pleaded no contest in that case and was sentenced to five days of community service and 12 months of probation.

'For me, it's a coaching thing,' said Templeton, assessing the changes under the new leadership. 'We're being coached more and, building up to games, we're working on different formations, which players are going to play, movements, all different stuff, like most teams probably do.

We weren't going into games working on the stuff I think we should have been working on, which we are doing now and that is showing with the results. 'We should probably still have won games that we didn't. But going into games knowing what you have to do does definitely help and I think that showed in the Hibs game two weeks ago.

A planning application submitted for their 1860s home in London\u2019s Holland Park shows drawings for a lower-groundfloor \u2018cinema room\u2019. And the word \u2018cinema\u2019 \u2014 suggestive of a large scale \u2014 is entirely appropriate. The ceiling height would be 9.5ft, and the room measures some 300 sq ft \u2014 just over twice the size of the average British living room. That means the Beckhams could easily fit 20 seats \u2014 enough for their family of six plus friends \u2014 in the room which would adjoin a 500 sq ft playroom. In this \u2018Beckham Odeon\u2019, a projector and pull-down screen would be built into the \u2018non-historic\u2019 ceiling. Having hired the ultra-swish interiors guru Rose Uniacke, one can safely assume it will be much classier than your local multiplex. Meanwhile, George Clooney, who has recently purchased a \u00a310million manor house with his barrister wife Amal on an island in the Thames in Sonning, Berkshire, is also building a home cinema. It will be in a new complex, set apart from the house, that includes a pool, a \u2018professional kitchen\u2019, a pergola and a bar. Draft layouts lodged with the local planning office reveal that the cinema will have 12 seats, behind which there will be an audio/video room which will house the banks of electronics required. George Clooney, who has recently purchased a \u00a310million manor house with his barrister wife Amal (right) on an island in the Thames in Sonning, Berkshire, is also building a home cinema . And it is unlikely that Hollywood celebrities such as Clooney are waiting for films to come out on DVD \u2014 no doubt eager publicists and production companies send George et al movies even before they are issued on general release.

A nurse today told a jury he did not murder three hospital patients and poison almost 20 others on his ward by contaminating their medicine with insulin. Victorino Chua, 49, has given evidence for the first time and denied he tampered with saline bags and ampoules at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport in order to kill and injure people he was caring for. Chua denies murdering patients Tracey Arden, 44, Arnold Lancaster, 71 and Derek Weaver, 83, and deliberately poisoning 18 others between 2011 and 2012. The prosecution claim the defendant changed tack in January 2012 amid an ongoing police investigation and increased security when he deliberately altered drug dosages on prescription charts. His barrister, Peter Griffiths QC, today told the defendant that he would ask him some questions about his family and personal life but first would ask specific questions about the charges he faces. Focusing first on the events of summer 2011 at the Stockport hospital, Mr Griffiths said to Chua:'My first question to you is did you ever at any time contaminate any medical product with any insulin?' Chua replied: 'No sir.' Turning to the charges he murdered patients Tracey Arden, 44, Arnold Lancaster, 71, and Derek Weaver, 83, Mr Griffiths asked: 'As far as those three patients, deceased now of course, it is not suggested in this case that they were in your care at material times but I must ask ask this question, did you ever intend to kill those patients?' Chua said again: 'No sir.' Mr Griffiths said: 'Did you ever intend to cause those patients, or any patient, serious harm - that is grievous bodily harm?' Chua replied: 'No sir.' Chua has pleaded not guilty to 36 charges in all, including three alleged murders, one count of grievous bodily harm with intent, 23 counts of attempted grievous bodily harm, eight counts of attempting to cause a poison to be administered and one count of administering a poison.

Addressing the January 2012 charges, Mr Griffiths said to the witness: 'The underlying and fundamental allegations laid against you by the prosecution is that you altered the prescription charts of patients. My question is this, did you alter any of those prescription charts?' Chua replied: 'No sir.'

Koby Hodder's heart stopped for a staggering 12 minutes after he collapsed while running around with friends during the morning break. He was playing British Bulldog \u2013 a game in which children run from one side of a playing field to another without being caught by one of the \u2018bulldogs\u2019, who often employ forceful tactics to trap runners, including rugby tackling opponents to the ground. Teachers across the country have called for the game to be banned, claiming it is dangerous and leads to children becoming injured. In the middle of playing the game, Koby suffered a cardiac arrest. This is where the electrical activity of the heart becomes so chaotic that it stops pumping and quivers or \u2018fibrillates\u2019 instead. His heart suddenly stopped beating blood around his body and he collapsed and lost consciousness. The 10-year-old was later diagnosed with the same heart condition as footballer Fabrice Muamba, a former Bolton Wanderers player who collapsed after suffering a cardiac arrest during the first half of Bolton's FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham in 2012. Mr Muamba was 'effectively dead' for 78 minutes and had to be shocked 15 times before his heart restarted. Teachers at Koby\u2019s school in Doncaster, were able to give Koby CPR until paramedics arrived and saved his life. His father, Mark, 45, got a call from the school at around 11am on March 2, and was told to get to the school immediately. He said: 'I was working around the corner so I was able to get straight over there and when I saw Koby on the ground I knew he was dead. 'Teachers were giving him CPR but I could see he was grey and lifeless. I couldn't even go to him. I was devastated.' Luckily he was brought back to life when paramedics Lee Murphy and Martin Parkinson and emergency care assistant Freddie Stevens arrived, and were able to save him by giving Koby two shocks with a defibrillator. A cardiac arrest happens when the heart stops pumping blood around your body. The most common cause of a cardiac arrest is a life threatening abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF). Ventricular fibrillation happens when the electrical activity of your heart becomes so chaotic that the heart stops pumping and quivers or 'fibrillates' instead. Someone who is having a cardiac arrest will suddenly lose consciousness and will stop breathing or stop breathing normally. Unless immediately treated by CPR this always leads to death within minutes. It is possible to survive and recover from a cardiac arrest, with the right treatment. Ventrivular fibrillation - which causes an arrest - can sometimes be corrected by giving an electric shock through the chest wall, by using a device called a defibrillator.

But some illuminating discussions left me wishing I\u2019d had them before \u2013 and not waited until cricket\u2019s statistical God tapped us all on the shoulder.

Anderson trains ahead of the first Test in Antigua on Monday, which will be his 100th for England . It was this last point that was most striking. Unlike the majority of England cricketers, Anderson did not ease effortlessly through the age groups. There\u2019s even a suggestion Lancashire failed to spot his talent first time round, and needed to witness him at a second trial before they were convinced. Instead, he played for Burnley CC, a club which produced more than its share of first-class cricketers: the Brown brothers, Michael and David, John Clare, and Vishal Tripathi. So when he was finally snapped up by Lancashire Under-17s, he was very much in the raw. John Stanworth, who was then Lancashire\u2019s player development manager, told me that coaches from other counties would pass comment on Anderson\u2019s idiosyncrasies, not least his habit of looking at his feet as he delivered the ball. The retort was a simple one: Anderson was bowling fast and getting good batsmen out. Stanworth was wise enough to leave him alone, with one exception: at one stage, his back leg started coming behind his body, and he began running on the pitch. Anderson and his first England captain Nasser Hussain celebrate a wicket during the 2003 World Cup . England quick James Anderson plays his 100th Test match in Antigua against the West Indies from Monday . A session with Bob Cottam sorted that.

A teenager battling bulimia who 'died' on the street from a heart attack was saved by a pair of off-duty police officers who gave her CPR. Hollie Tillbrook, 17, was out with her boyfriend in Basildon's Festival Leisure Park, Essex, when she suddenly collapsed. Doctors believe her potassium levels had plummeted to such a low level that her heart completely stopped. But luckily, two officers, believed to be from the Met Police, rushed to her side and gave Hollie life-saving CPR until an ambulance arrived. She was then rushed to Basildon hospital, where she was put into an induced coma. But the teenager then made an unexpected recovery which stunned medics. She is now recovering at her home in Leigh, Essex, despite her mother Denise Bennett being told to expect the worst. The family are now trying to find the police officers who saved Hollie so they can thank them in person.

When he came back, he found Hollie laying on the floor with a crowd gathered around her. Ms Bennett then received a phone call, telling her what had happened. The 17-year-old, who suffers with bulimia, had collapsed because she had a dangerous level of potassium in her body. She is now recovering at home with her mother Denise Bennett (right) Humans need potassium in higher amounts than any other mineral. Adults need around 3,500mg in their body per day. Potassium plays a fundamental role in maintaining the fluid and acid/alkaline balance of the body. It is vital for the transmission of nerve impulses and helps the heart to beat regularly. It also counterbalances sodium in the body, and is known to help lower blood pressure. To get enough you need to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, which are especially good sources because they also provide a low level of sodium. The Dietary and Nutritional Survey of British Adults (HMSO 1990) showed that the average intake of potassium is 3,187mg in males and 2,434mg in females. Compared with the daily recommendation of 3500mg intakes they are therefore low.

By mid-October they had already dropped 13 points. There was talk of Wenger not even seeing the season out, let alone extending his stay into next term and beyond.

Should Wenger strengthen in key areas then they would surely be vying for such status at the head of the market. He needs no more Mesut Ozils, no more Santi Cazorlas or Tomas Rosickys.

Yes, there was the capture of Danny Welbeck last summer, but that was more opportunistic than a long-term pursuit. Welbeck, in turn, has netted just four league goals and watched from the bench as Liverpool were torn apart. So, too, did Theo Walcott.

Moya's sister Rone Odendaal, 24, who is a teacher at Laerskool Lothair, located in the village of Lothair, began taking pictures of the struggle, before noticing the buffalo was heading for the road. Battle: Moya Gerber and her sister Rone Odendaal, 24, spotted this struggle between two lions and a buffalo in the Kruger National Park in South Africa, so they stopped to photograph it .

He is accused of carrying out sex attacks on 11 victims as young as 15 while working at an Army careers centre in Croydon, south London, between October 2010 and September 2011. One woman told Southwark Crown Court today that she saw Mee, 46, as a father figure after he helped her join the Army.

'So it is like I took him as a father, or someone I can relate to, or maybe understand what is happening to me.' Jurors heard that Mee repeatedly asked the teenager if she wanted to have sex with him - she initially ignored him, but later explicitly told him she did not want to do. The court heard that one occasion when she went to see Mee, he slapped her bottom as she left the office, and she told him 'never do that'. Prosecutor Rosina Cottage QC asked the woman why she did not tell any of the other recruiters what was going on.

The book was completed in November by David Lagercrantz based on a plot outline left by Larsson before he died of a heart attack in 2004 aged 50. Mr Lagercrantz, known for co-authoring Swedish football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobiography, said the publishers have gone to extreme lengths to keep the novel under wraps.

+{"article": "Two Maryland parents whose hands-off 'free-range' parenting got their children picked up by police yet again on Sunday are now vowing to file a lawsuit. Danielle and Alexander Meitiv have been cited multiple times for allowing their son Rafi, 10, and daughter Dvora, 6, roam free in their suburban neighborhood. But the Meitivs, both of them scientists, say authorities crossed a line over the weekend when they picked up Rafi and Dvora and held them nearly six hours without food before allowing them to reunite with their parents. Picked up: Officials seized Dvora, 6, (far left) and 10-year-old Rafi (left, blue hat) on Sunday in a Maryland park. The parents Danielle and Alexander Meitiv (right) have vowed to sue authorities responsible for keeping them in custody for six hours . Attorney Matthew Dowd, of the firm Wiley Rein, is representing the Meitivs and on Tuesday sent a ointed letter regarding Sunday's events. Rein wrote: . 'The actions of Maryland CPS and Montgomery County Police violate the fundamental rights parents have in raising their children. 'This fundamental, constitutional right of parents cannot be infringed simply because certain governmental employees disagree with a parent\u2019s reasoned decision on how to raise his or her children.' The firm declined to say who the suit would be against, exactly, when asked by the Washington Post. However, the attorney has vowed to pursue 'all legal remedies' to protect the rights of the Maryland parents. The Meitivs made headlines just before Christmas when police found Rafi and Dvora walking the sidewalk on their own. Picked up AGAIN: The Meitivs say they were left to panic for hours by CPS workers after their children--who they raise with a so-called 'free-range' approach--were picked up by police for the second time in two months while walking down the street alone . 'Besides the policeman pulling up...no': Asked if he was scared during the hours-long ordeal Sunday, 10-year-old Rafi admitted he was, but not because he'd been left alone with his sister . Free-range parenting is the name given to a style of raising kids in opposition to so-called 'helicopter parenting'. 'Helicopter parents' are named for their habit of hovering over their offspring, micro-managing their lives in an attempt to keep them safe. However critics believe this creates under-confident, over-reliant children, while also causing the parents stress. Free-range parents advocate a more hands-off approach, where children are allowed to go out and experience the world on their own. Instead of constantly monitoring activities to make sure children are safe, the emphasis is put on adults assessing risk ahead of time, and equipping children with the skills to deal with danger themselves. On Sunday, a concerned citizen reportedly called authorities once again after seeing the siblings unaccompanied near a neighborhood park around a third of a mile from their home. The children were picked up by police, who say they followed protocol by turning them over to CPS.

Last year Sarah, 36, and Mark Brennan, 35, from south Wales, never gave up hope of becoming parents despite being told they'd never conceive naturally. Yet last September they defied doctors to have Eryn, who was born seven weeks early, weighing just 3lb 11oz. Sarah and Mark Brennan show off their longed-for daughter Eryn Elisabeth . Sarah, a project manager, said: 'We'd just been put on the waiting list for IVF, when I had an inkling I might be pregnant.' After feeling queasy and exhausted, she decided to take a pregnancy test, which confirmed that she was expecting. Mark, a technician, said: 'It was wonderful to find out that Sarah was pregnant, but after so many miscarriages, we could not help but worry.' The pair, who met when they were 18, were just about to jet off to Egypt for a holiday and quickly booked themselves in for a private scan. Mark said: 'It may sound strange, but after about six miscarriages, we just got used to it - to being let down every time.' During their holiday, Sarah continued to suffer from sickness and giddiness and went straight to the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend when they returned home. Project manager Sarah, pictured with her treasured daughter, advises other mums struggling with infertility to not give up . After telling the midwife their history they were referred to the sonographer and a scan revealed a heartbeat. 'We couldn't stop the tears - we were in pieces. We even had the sonographer in tears,' Sarah said. In the weeks that followed, the pair were told that their baby was developing well and found out at the 20-week scan that they were expecting a girl. Everything went smoothly until 29 weeks, when Sarah's waters broke so early, the doctors did not believe they had gone. She recalled: 'I was in a state of panic. But they hooked me up to machines to check her and, thank God, she was OK.' Sarah was told that she was experiencing Braxton Hicks - a tightening of the muscles in the womb - and sent home. The couple then spent the next few days in and out of hospital. 'Fear was creeping back into both of us,' she said. 'In fact, scared just isn't the word.' The doctors eventually confirmed that her waters had broken and she was sent to a specialist unit at Singleton Hospital in Swansea for close monitoring. After going into labour early, Sarah feared she'd lost Eryn and couldn't hold her newborn for five hours . 'I was in agony with the pain of every baby kick, stretch, minor movement or hiccup,' she said. Sarah spent the next two weeks in hospital, but did not go into labour and decided to go home. She eventually went into labour on September 30 and was booked in for an emergency Caesarean, as the baby was in the breech position.", "summary": "Sarah Brennan, 36, was on the IVF waiting list when she became pregnant .

Here, he identifies what he believes are the 10 finest achievements of Saturday's retiring champion. 1 RIDING HIS 4,000th WINNER AT TOWCESTER ON NOVEMBER 7, 2013 . He has won virtually every big race in the calendar but McCoy\u2019s greatest feat has to be the immense tally of winners he has ridden. To put his numbers into perspective, in the all-time list of successful jockeys, great rival Richard Johnson is closest to him and the gap is around 1,500 winners. Tony McCoy celebrating after he won his 4,000th race on board Mountain Tune at Wetherby in 2013 . 2 HIS 20 STRAIGHT JUMP JOCKEY TITLES . If you like your champions dominant, you have to love McCoy. No modern sportsman can match his reign. He outstrips 16-time darts world champion Phil Taylor by almost 200 weeks, with a staggering 1,040 weeks at the top. That compares to 364 for Formula One\u2019s Michael Schumacher and 302 for tennis ace Roger Federer. 3 WINNING THE 1994-95 CONDITIONAL JOCKEYS CHAMPIONSHIP . McCoy hit the ground running on his arrival in Britain from Ireland, landing the apprentice title for jumps jockeys with a record 74 wins. Not surprisingly, it is another McCoy record which still stands. 4 RECORD 290 WINNERS IN A SEASON (2001-02) The 300-winner season McCoy craved proved too much even for him but he got close with 289 in Britain and one abroad. His feat outstripped the European record of German Peter Schiergen (271 in 1995) and Sir Gordon Richards\u2019 best of 269 in 1947. 5 WINNING BBC SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR IN 2010 . Not to be underestimated. Frankie Dettori and Lester Piggott are household names but neither of those great jockeys won this prestigious title. McCoy\u2019s prodigious achievements have transcended racing\u2019s usual boundaries and his peerless career has gained the respect it deserves. McCoy stands proud with his Sport Personality of the Year Award in Birmingham in 2010 . 6 DON\u2019T PUSH IT\u2019S 2010 GRAND NATIONAL WIN . Picking out even a handful of McCoy\u2019s best wins is an exercise in subjective futility. We all have our favourites but Don\u2019t Push It\u2019s victory at Aintree was arguably the most significant on the greatest stage. Plenty of top jockeys have never had a sniff of the Grand National winner\u2019s enclosure. McCoy celebrates aboard Grand National winner Don't Push It at Aintree racecourse in 2013 . 7 WORTH HIS WEIGHT . Unbelievably, given the lengths to which he has gone to control his weight and boil himself down, McCoy has never had to put up overweight (carry more than his mount was allotted). It is another example of his extraordinary self control. 8 BREAKING MY FASTEST TIME TO 100 WINNERS IN A SEASON . I never thought my fastest-to-100-wins record would stand forever but in November 1996 McCoy thrashed my best by 30 days. A season later and he beat his own record by 16 days.

But senior Conservative minister William Hague has defended the government's role in helping to overthrow the dictator, who was well-known for his barbaric treatment of the would-be migrants. About 800 people are believed to have died when a fishing boat carrying migrants overturned off Libyan waters, south of the Italian island of Lampedusa, shortly after midnight on Sunday. And Gaddafi's cousin, who was one of several high-profile regime figures who fled to Egypt during the 2011 revolution, believes the only solution for stability in the Mediterranean is to bring back those who surrounded the country's despotic former ruler in government. Mr Gaddaf al-Dam, whose supporters claim could be Libya's next president, said western countries have shed 'the tears of crocodiles over democracy and human rights'.

The 4th District Court of Appeal in San Diego upheld a lower court ruling that tossed out a family's lawsuit trying to block the Encinitas Union School District from teaching yoga as an alternative to traditional gym classes. The lawsuit brought by Stephen and Jennifer Sedlock and their two children claimed the school district's yoga classes promoted Hinduism and inhibited Christianity. Scroll down for video . Students hold their positions during a yoga class at Capri Elementary School in Encinitas, California, in 2012 . A California appeals court ruled yoga classes taught at Capri do not violate students' right to religious freedom . The court upheld the previous ruling in a 3-0 opinion. The district court wrote: 'While the practice of yoga may be religious in some contexts, yoga classes as taught in the district are, as the trial court determined, \"devoid of any religious, mystical, or spiritual trappings.\" 'We conclude that the program is secular in purpose, does not have the primary effect of advancing or inhibiting religion and does not excessively entangle the school district in religion.

So finely tuned, they'll subconsciously spot when someone starts looking at us - even if we haven't noticed - and start taking mental notes. Scroll down for video . Tracey Cox says that it takes more than just simple eye contact to get someone's attention here she gives her advice on how to use your peepers to get someone's attention . If that person is checking everyone out, they'll stop registering the information; if it's just us they're interested in, they'll signal the brain to give us a nudge that someone's watching. Spring is the season for flirting so the perfect time to find out the five eye contact techniques that are scientifically proven to get you noticed! THE FOUR-AND-HALF SECOND SCAN . A normal face scan lasts three seconds, scan for four-and-a-half and it's clear someone has 'caught your eye'. Eye contact of more than ten seconds between two people means one of two things: you're about to fight or have sex (well, you want to anyway). Prolonged eye contact produces intense emotional reactions regardless of whether it's a fist or a pair of lips heading your way. It activates the nervous system, raises our heart rate and blood flow and stimulates the production of certain hormones. On average we scan a face for three seconds, scan for four and a half to register your interest . THE SLIDE AND SETTLE . Studies have shown this to be an almost foolproof way to find out if a stranger is interested in you. Let your eyes settle on someone so they're aware you've noticed them, then as they're still watching you, slide your eyes around the room before settling back on them again. This effectively says, 'You instantly attracted me and you're still the pick of the room even after I've checked out the competition.' If they're interested, most people drop their eyes straight down, then directly up again to lock eyes after a few seconds. If someone's eyes instead slide away from yours and don't return after a minute or two, they're almost definitely not interested. Tracey says the simple act of blinking can also make someone aware that you're attracted to them . It's a quick movement - the whole thing's over in ten to 15 seconds \u2013 but it's impressively accurate. THE FLIRTING TRIANGLE . Eye movement studies show we look at different parts of other people's faces depending on the situation and level of attractiveness. When looking at strangers or in business situations, we make a small triangle by moving our eyes from eye to eye, dipping them as we move across the bridge of the nose. With friends, the triangle widens as our eyes drop below eye level to include the nose", "summary": "Sexpert says eye contact is the most effective way to signal sexual interest .

Carragher and Gary Neville agreed that Mourinho would have a special plan to stop United's run of form . Carragher and Neville were speaking as part of Monday Night Football ahead of Liverpool vs Newcastle United .

Zouma has emerged as an emergency option for Chelsea when they need strength in the midfield area .

'I imagine he will maybe play Ramires instead of Willian and tuck him right in to fill spaces around there. (Mourinho will) play Zouma as more like a third centre back, but slightly ahead of (Gary) Cahill and (John) Terry just to look after Fellaini. 'I'm convinced he won't allow the space and the problems they cause down that left side to happen. He will set up and stop it, I'm convinced of it.' Mourinho will not want to give United space and that means that he will set up to stop them, says Carragher .

Tony Blair's global money-making projects face fresh scrutiny today after publication of a bizarre deal to sell the theory of 'deliverology' to Colombia. Questions have also been raised about why the fees for the former Labour Prime Minister \u2013 who last week denied being in the 'league of the super-rich - are being paid by the United Arab Emirates, and not the Colombian government. The contract sets out in great detail Mr Blair's demands for confidentiality, and includes a requirement that his wife Cherie join him on trips to South America. Mr Blair last week defended earning money since leaving Downing Street, claiming it pays for the 'infrastructure' around him. But critics have questioned the role of a former Prime Minister working for other sovereign states, and claimed there could be a conflict of interest between his role as the Middle East envoy and earning money from governments in the region. Today the Sunday Telegraph revealed details of a contract signed between Mr Blair and the Colombian government in 2013. Fees paid to Tony Blair Associates for the work advising Colombia on its mining industry, which brings in \u00a32billion-a-year in royalties. The 34page contract for a year was signed between Columbia's department of national planning, and Windrush No 3 LP, an arm of Mr Blair's business network. It included carrying out a 'stocktake' of mining deals and contains at least 10 clauses on confidentiality. It also boasts that Tony Blair Associates outperforms rival consultancy firms because it works with 'founders of deliverology' \u2013 jargon for the way governments can get things done. 'All our team members will have expertise in ... deliverology or mining induced growth strategies,' it says. The business proposal states: 'Mr Blair, with his extensive on-the-job experience and politician instincts, will personally lead this project. 'Typically his contribution will go beyond the narrow focus of the specific project, and our growing understanding of the situation on the ground will allow Mr Blair to serve as an adviser to the government in several other areas, be it in domestic matters or questions of international politics.' Tory MP Andrew Bridgen today called for curbs on former Prime Minister's working for other governments. He told MailOnline: 'Anyone who has been Prime Minister and privy to the secrets of this nation should hold should never work for another sovereign government.' Mr Bridgen says ex-PMs should be bound for life by the seven principles of public life, known as the Nolan principles, which include accountability and openness.' He added: 'People have got the right to earn money but it is how it is done. At the end of the day I think a lot of the disillusion with politics began in the Blair years. The fall of politicians' standing seriously began in the Blair years when people felt they had been deceived.' Mr Blair defended his money making, telling Newsweek last week said: 'I could not do what I do unless I was also able to generate income'.", "summary": "Former Prime Minister struck deal in 2013 to advise on mining industry .

His death came just six months after he was returned to Adekoya's care following more than a year with foster carers. Social workers also visited the family a number of times over two years.

Mr Miliband said he would have to pay the proposed \u00a3250 a month 'mansion tax' on homes worth more than \u00a32million but claimed this did not mean he actually lived in one. The claim comes despite revelations that his four-storey Victorian town house has two kitchens \u2013 including one for the family's live-in nanny. Scroll down for video . Labour leader Ed Miliband - with members of staff on the Oncology ward during a visit to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge - has insisted he does not live in a 'mansion' Mr Miliband faced ridicule earlier this month after appearing to play down the size of his north London home.

Asked how he would pay for the \u00a3250 a month levy, Mr Miliband said: 'I'll get it from my income \u2013 myself and Justine.' And he declined to set out how much people with homes worth more than \u00a33m would be paying as part of the levy. 'There are about 100,000 homes we think in this area, that will be above \u00a32m and the Treasury has estimated that \u00a31.2bn is a reasonable assumption to make from this. 'We've set out what the band will be between \u00a32m and \u00a33m - \u00a3250 a month, which is broadly speaking the top level of the council tax so in other words that's the same again. 'The precise figures above \u00a33m will have to wait for when we get into government, precisely because we've got to establish how many properties are in each band.'

The former world champion knows he needs to push the boundaries of his sport and spent most of last year battling to master his 'demon' dive, a dizzying combination of somersaults and twists he had hoped would prove the difference. However, along with new coach Jane Figueiredo he spent the winter modifying a new plunge, something that has never been attempted before. Daley spent long hours on the trampoline perfecting technique before building the dive in stages from different heights. Tom Daley hopes his new 'firework' dive can help win Olympic gold at the 2016 Rio de Janiero Games . It was painstaking and detailed work but the dive finally got its premiere at the British Championships and was part of Daley's repertoire when he won silver, with a personal best score, at the recent World Diving Series in Dubai. 'There was a sense of relief when we decided to bin the old dive but the pressure was on to come up with something,' admitted Daley. 'The old dive did terrify me and while I did conquer my demons with it, it's a weight off my shoulders that I've moved on because it was a bad dive for me. 'We wanted to do the least twist possible because I hate the twisting part. We've only got one twist in this dive so we had to decide whether we were going to do it at the beginning or at the end because you can do that dive three different ways. 'We tried doing it at the beginning but it made the dive really hard because the G-force getting into your pike shape is really difficult. 'We go through 20 Gs of force as we're spinning around so at the end we decided to do it on the way out. So you spin as fast as you can and then you come out at the end, do one twist then land in the water.' Daley (right) has spent the winter modifying the plunge with his new coach Jane Figueiredo . It's six years since Daley won his breakthrough world title in Rome, one year after making his Olympic debut as a 14-year old in Beijing. Last year there were inaccurate reports that Daley was to call time on his diving career but he insists he's enjoying the sport more than ever, following the decision to relocate from Plymouth to London. His home pool is now the Olympic pool, a place with happy memories, and he'll be the star attraction at next month's FINA Diving World Series, 1-3 May in his newly-adopted hometown. But Daley is no longer the sole standard bearer for British diving, Jack Laugher became the first non-Chinese diver to win on the World Series this year in Dubai and Tonia Couch and synchro partner Sarah Barrow are also established among the world's elite.

As United kicked off their Premier League season with a match against Swansea in August, Young received a surprise delivery from a bird mid-match, much to the amusement of his team-mates, who took advantage of the situation.

His transition from Southampton star to \u00a331.5million United man has been more difficult than he would have liked, with the left back making just 17 appearances this season. He has suffered a number of injuries, limiting his time on the pitch, but still appears to have settled into his new surroundings well. He admits he picks up tips from goalkeeper David de Gea, who has been in impressive form on the pitch for Louis van Gaal's side. According to Shaw, he is not just a top goalkeeper, but is approachable off the pitch when players need advice too. According to Shaw, United goalkeeper David de Gea is the 'nicest guy in football' and is always approachable . Louis van Gaal's stern demeanour is not limited to the touchline; at training he is equally as focused .

That makes Anzac Day the exception when it comes to public holidays. If Easter, Christmas, Australia Day, the Queen's Birthday or Labour Day fall on a weekend, a holiday is granted on a weekday. Scroll down for video . Bosses in some states have been warned to expect a rise in employees calling in sick this Monday due to the lack of an Anzac Day public holiday . But the rules do not apply to everyone, it seems. Western Australia and some public servants in Canberra have decided to go it alone and will get Monday off. The head of the Immgration Department declared Monday a public holiday for 8,500 staff, but other departments such as the Australian Taxation Office and Defence will have to turn up to work. For the rest of the country, it's back to work on Monday.

'Employees will feel aggrieved by not having a day off, Australians have an entitlement mentality,' said Mr Dundon, the boss of Direct Health Solutions. 'They're missing out and people want their fair share.' Mr Dundon said bosses should expect a 20 per cent-25 per cent rise in absenteeism on Monday 27. In turn, some businesses have notified staff that if they they fake a sick day, they risk losing their job.

Shadow health secretary and keen football fan Andy Burnham said the move could unlock \u00a3400 million to nurture the talents of the next generation of stars over the course of the next parliament.

Mr Burnham said: 'The last Labour government secured a commitment from the Premier League that five per cent of all TV income should be invested in the grassroots.

For sure I wouldn't be here and a lot of these players wouldn't be here if he hadn't done that, so we are thankful to him. 'He should also be thankful that we are in the position we are in, and that the players and myself have got the team where it is, because the reception could have been very different if we were in the relegations zone and leaving so shortly before the season started. I think that is good for him and he deserves that. Hopefully tomorrow he gets the reception that he warrants.'

Linda Hunter (pictured) who lives on Garrick Street, Wavertree, Liverpool, says she is stuck in a 'ghetto' after Liverpool city council offered to sell homes in her street for \u00a31 . Despite their neighbours moving out, the couple stayed put as they had elderly parents living close by who relied on them.

Mrs Hunter, 62, a retired careworker, told the Liverpool Echo: 'As the street has become a horrible place to live and my parents died last year we thought \"enough is enough\" and decided to take the council's offer and move to a home that was similar in price to ours.' She picked out houses worth around \u00a3120,000 and the council said they would look into it for her in October, but months later the couple were told the offer had fallen through as their street was now part of Liverpool's 'Home for a Pound' scheme.

At first the question appears impossible to answer without a bit of extra information, but we know Cheryl has already told Albert the month of her birthday, and Bernard the day. Each of the men does not know what the other has been told. This allows reasoning to be used to begin to whittle down the number of options. So, firstly, for Albert to be 'certain' that Bernard cannot know the answer - as suggested in the first statement he makes - we can deduct that the birthday is not in May or June. This is because in the months of May and June there are numbers (dates) that only occur once across the four months - namely May 19 and June 18. If Albert had been given May or June as the month, there is no way he could be certain that Bernard doesn't know the birthday. Bernard, after all, might have been the number 18 or 19.

Henry Rayhons, 78, was accused of having sex with his wife Donna Lou Rayhons at her nursing home - despite being told her dementia and Alzheimers meant she no longer had the capacity to decide for herself. Mr Rayhons, who served 18 years as a Republican member of the Iowa House, had argued that on the night in question he and his wife had been affectionate but had not had any sexual contact. Henry Rayhons is pictured tearfully hugging his daughter Sara Abbas after he was found not guilty of sexually assaulting his dementia suffering wife, following a trial in Hancock County . Jurors acquitted the lawmaker following a trial after the court heard that medical tests could not conclusively prove Mrs Rayhons had recently had sex and that the allegations were made by another patient in a bed nearby, who was unsure whether they had had intercourse or not. The farmer was emotional as the not guilty verdict was read out at the Hancock County courtroom. Had he been found guilty he could have faced up to ten years in prison. Speaking after the verdict he tearfully said 'the truth finally came out.' 'Donna's love for me never changed from the day that we got married to the day she passed away,' he said after the verdict. 'It was always the same. She knew me all the time. She just was a lady who wanted to be loved.' The case highlighted issues around consent when one person in a couple is diagnosed with dementia. Defense attorney argued a guilty verdict could create fear of any contact between couples while prosecutors said finding him not guilty could put future dementia patients at risk. Mr and Mrs Rayhons married seven years ago, both being widowed from their previous marriage. Mr Rayhons had always insisted he and his wife had kissed on the night in question but they had not had sex . The couple had met while singing in the church choir and Mr Rayhons had gone on to learn his wife's hobby of beekeeping while Mrs Rayhons had accompanied her husband to the statehouse. After the allegations were filed against him last August Mr Rayhons decided not to run to serve a tenth term in the Iowa House of Representatives. The court heard that Mrs Rayhons was moved to a nursing home in Garner in March last year, following instructions from her daughters from a previous marriage. The clashes over her care built until a meeting in May during which Henry Rayhons was informed of his wife's inability to consent. According to court documents, Henry Rayhons entered his wife's room about a week later on May 23. He is alleged to have pulled the curtains around her bed and a roommate alluded to the couple having sex behind a curtain, but that she never explicitly told them they were having sex.", "summary": "Henry Rayhons was arrested for sexually assaulting his wife in August .

The touching words were written by Tyrone Sevilla and delivered to Peter Dutton's office in Brisbane on Monday, along with a petition containing 122,000 signatures. The poster simply said: 'Dear Mr Sutton, Can I stay in Australia please. Tyrone.' Maria Sevilla and her young son's desperate last-ditch attempt to remain in the country comes as they face the very real possibility of being deported back to the Philippines after their visa expires today. This comes after the Immigration department rejected the single mother's visa application 28 days ago because Tyrone's autism would be a 'burden on the Australian health system'.

Thousands of the 165ft towers line the land, spoiling scenes of beauty with a cat\u2019s cradle of high-voltage cables. But their days are numbered after a more elegant design was seen in action for the first time yesterday \u2013 complete with a pair of distinctive \u2018earrings\u2019. Scroll down for video . National Grid has revealed the UK's first new pylon for nearly 90 years. Called the T-pylon (artist's illustration shown) it is a third shorter than the old lattice pylons. But it is able to carry just as much power - 400,000 volts. It is designed to be less obtrusive and will be used for clean energy purposes . National Grid is building a training line of the less obtrusive T-pylons at their Eakring training academy in Nottinghamshire. Britain's first pylon, erected in July 1928 near Edinburgh, was designed by architectural luminary Sir Reginald Blomfield, inspired by the Greek root of the word \u2018pylon\u2019 (meaning gateway of an Egyptian temple). The campaign against them - they were unloved even then - was run by Rudyard Kipling, John Maynard Keynes and Hilaire Belloc. Five years later, the biggest peacetime construction project seen in Britain, the connection of 122 power stations by 4,000 miles of cable, was completed. It marked the birth of the National Grid and was a major stoking of the nation\u2019s industrial engine and a vital asset during the Second World War. There are now more than 88,000 pylons in the UK, including 22,000 on National Grid\u2019s main transmission network in England and Wales. These stand some 50 metres high, weigh around 30 tonnes and carry up to 400,000 volts of electricity over thousands of kilometres to some of the most exposed, weather-beaten parts of Britain. Each T-pylon measures about 115ft (35 metres) tall - about a third shorter than the old pylons, which were about 165ft (50 metres) tall. The design is a T-shape, with two \u2018hanging baskets\u2019 either side holding the various wires and cables needed to transmit electricity. T-pylons were the winners of a 2011 design competition to develop a new pylon that could deal with changing sources of electricity - namely, greener sources such as wind and solar power. \u2018We\u2019ve been able to answer \"yes\" to the hundreds of questions that need to be asked before we can introduce a new type of pylon,\u2019 said David Wright, Director of Electricity Transmission Asset Management at National Grid. \u2018The training line has enabled us to learn so many lessons about how to manufacture and build the T-pylon. \u2018I\u2019m incredibly proud of the high standard of engineering that brought us to this point.\u2019 Despite being shorter, the new tower is able to transport a similar amount of power to its predecessor - 400,000 volts - and each arm can support 60 tonnes of weight. The simplistic design, composed mostly of just eight components, means new T-pylons can be erected in just a single day, rather than a whole week for older", "summary": "National Grid has revealed the UK's first new pylon for nearly 90 years .

Health experts in the US have warned the country is in danger of being gripped by a measles pandemic because a growing number of people are not getting vaccinated against the virus and are being exposed to the rest of the population. The virus has swept several states in America and California and officials have warned there could be a danger of reversing the eradication of measles 15 years ago. They are also keen to prevent a return to the outbreak of 1989 when more than 100 people died. Scroll down for video . More than 100 pupils have been kicked out of their classes because they did not have completed vaccination forms, as health officials have warned about the danger of the spread of the measles virus (pictured) This week 143 pupils were removed from their classes in Spokane because they could not prove they had legally required vaccinations, which includes measles. And officials predict the number of children being kicked out of school in the state for not getting their jabs is likely to rise, as around 700 students in the district lack complete documents. Earlier this year, Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said he was concerned about the possibility of a large measles outbreak in America. He said there was concern over the growing number of people choosing not to have their injections to prevent the highly infectious disease and has called for more people to be vaccinated . In February around 100 people were diagnosed with the virus across 15 states. Last month officials in California confirmed 119 people had been diagnosed with measles after visiting Disneyland in Anaheim. The outbreak is believed to have started when an overseas tourist with measles visited the theme park. American officials are calling for children to be vaccinated against measles in order to prevent a pandemic . Spokane school district officials are believed to be the first to remove children from schools in a bid to prevent the spread of measles. District spokesman Kevin Morrison said: 'We're the front-runners . 'Given the increased awareness that the world has of the possibility of pandemic, I think heightened awareness is certainly not a bad thing.' Mr Morrison said complete documentation is important to protecting students so that if there was an outbreak at school staff would know which students to send home. Measles is a highly infectious disease that is characterised by a rash, runny nose and fever. In extreme cases it can be fatal. Children are routinely protected against the virus through the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine but some parents choose not to allow their children to have the jab because they personally disagree with it or due to problems with their offspring's immune system.

In a development which will hearten his family, officials in Washington said the 48-year-old is likely to be released in the summer after 13 years in captivity without charge or trial. It came as the man appointed by President Barack Obama to speed up the closure of the notorious prison camp said there was \u2018no sound reason\u2019 for keeping the terror suspect locked up any longer. British Guantanamo Bay detainee Shaker Aamer (pictured) is expected to be freed in June, US government sources have revealed. He is pictured right and left with son Michael and daughter, Johninh . The 48-year-old has been held at Guantanamo Bay without charge for more than 13 years (file picture of the prison) Campaigners welcomed moves to end the scandal of Saudi-born Mr Aamer continuing to languish in the naval base in Cuba but said his detention was an \u2018affront to civilised values\u2019. Mr Aamer, who lived in South London with his wife and children, is the longest-serving UK resident in Guantanamo and has twice been cleared for release, by the Bush administration in 2007, and by Barack Obama in 2009. His imprisonment is embarrassing for David Cameron, who said Mr Obama had vowed to prioritise the detainee\u2019s release after White House talks in January. But sources in the White House said the father-of-four was expected to be one of 11 captives transferred within weeks.

We are talking about people who have been at Guantanamo for 12 or 13 years... they should not be having to spend a day longer than necessary in Guantanamo.\u2019 He said there was no sound reason for delay. Officials said the transfer will take place after a 30-day notice period to Congress, following a sign-off from US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter. Kat Craig, legal director of Reprieve, which has represented Mr Aamer, said: \u2018He continues to be the victim of the most extraordinary injustice, as well as daily abuses that are an affront to civilised values. \u2018Any moves to return Shaker to his British wife and children cannot come soon enough, and should be welcomed.\u2019 The UK has made repeated calls since 2010 for the release of the 48-year-old, who has a British wife and four children in London .

Called the Modular Robotic Vehicle, or MRV, it was developed at NASA's Johnson Space Center to show off the technologies that could let man move across other planets. On Earth, however, it also has some neat tricks - from the ability to park sideways to being able to spin on the spot, as well as being driven remotely at up to 70mph. Watch the buggy in action below . Unlike a normal car, the buggy has no mechanical linkages to the propulsion, steering, or brake actuators, the driver of an MRV relies completely on control inputs being converted to electrical signals and then transmitted by wires to the vehicle's motors. A turn of the steering wheel, for instance, is recorded by sensors and sent to computers at the rear of the vehicle. These computers interpret that signal and instruct motors at one or all four of the wheels to move at the appropriate rate, causing the vehicle to turn as commanded. Nasa says the vehicles was buit 'in order to advance technologies that have applications for future vehicles both in space and on Earth.' 'With seating for two people, MRV is a fully electric vehicle well-suited for busy urban environments, it says. MRV is driven by four independent wheel modules called e-corners. Each e-corner consists of a redundant steering actuator, a passive trailing arm suspension, an in-wheel propulsion motor, and a motor-driven friction braking system. Each e-corner can be controlled independently and rotated \u00b1180 degrees about its axis. This allows for a suite of driving modes allowing MRV to maneuver unlike any traditional vehicle on the road. In addition to conventional front two wheel steering, the back wheels can also articulate allowing for turning radiuses as tight as zero. The driving mode can be switched so that all four wheels point and move in the same direction achieving an omni-directional, crab-like motion. This makes a maneuver such as parallel parking as easy as driving next to an available spot, stopping, and then operating sideways to slip directly in between two cars. 'This two-seater vehicle was designed to meet the growing challenges and demands of urban transportation,' said Mason Markee, also with Johnson. 'The MRV would be ideal for daily transportation in an urban environment with a designed top speed of 70 km/hr and range of 100 km of city driving on a single charge of the battery. 'The size and maneuverability of MRV gives it an advantage in navigating and parking in tight quarters.' With a designed top speed of around 70 km/hr, test driving proved to be a bit of fun. Justin Ridley told an Nasa magazine: 'It's like driving on ice but having complete control. 'It's a blast to ride in and even more fun to drive. We've talked about it being like an amusement park ride. 'The 'fun' of driving was not something we tried to design for, just something that came out of the design.

I\u2019m no narcissist \u2013 I\u2019m perfectly aware I have flaws, but they\u2019re deliciously wrapped up in the very unique moi.

Why is this? Numerous university studies have been carried out (I know this because their authors send them to me) and they have all come up with the same conclusion \u2013 it\u2019s self-protection. If women don\u2019t fit in with their (usually older, fatter, less attractive) female peers, then those who are good-looking won\u2019t get hired for jobs by the fairer sex; their careers will stall if their boss is female and they\u2019ll routinely receive their P45 for nothing more heinous than boasting a lovely smile.

+{"article": "The study's lead researcher said the results are a 'surprise', but it's no excuse to pile on the pounds . For years we have been told that the first step to staying healthy is to keep to a healthy weight - that means making sure your Body Mass Index (BMI) is within the normal range of 18 to 24. Few people are advised to gain weight, unless their BMI is below 18, but could that change? A study published last week suggests that overweight people are less likely to develop dementia. The researchers, drawn mostly from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, analysed the medical records of nearly two million people for up to ten years and found that those who were overweight (with a BMI of 25 to 29) had an 18 per cent lower risk of dementia compared to those with a healthy BMI. Remarkably the obese (with a BMI of 30 plus) did even better; they were 24 per cent less likely to develop dementia. Being underweight increased the dementia risk by 39 per cent. Dr Nawab Qizilbash, a clinical epidemiologist and the lead researcher, called the results a 'surprise', but said it was no excuse to pile on the pounds: 'This is a robust and reliable study that opens up an avenue in the search for factors that protect against Alzheimer's.' But these results are not that extraordinary. Three years ago, an even larger study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reported that overweight people tended to live longer than those of normal weight. The study analysed 100 trials involving three million people. It found that being overweight (a BMI between 25 and 29) reduced the risk of premature death by six per cent compared with someone of a normal BMI. More surprising was that even if someone was at the lower end of obese (BMI of 30 to 34.5) their risk of premature death didn't go up. Being obese started to reduce lifespan only when your BMI went above 35 - here the risk of dying earlier climbed to 29 per cent greater than those with a normal BMI, according to the study, headed by Dr Katherine Flegal, of the U.S. government Centres for Disease Control. So could being cuddly fat, rather than hugely overweight, protect you against dying early? Being overweight (a BMI between 25 and 29) reduced the risk of premature death by six per cent . Professor David Haslam, a GP and chairman of the National Obesity Forum, says something called the obesity paradox is at work: 'Obesity increases your chances of developing disorders such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes but once you've fallen ill, being a bit overweight seems to have a protective effect. 'The obesity paradox had been called 'surreal and unsettling', but it does seem to be real. We need to understand it.'

In a speech today, Sir John claimed the SNP would use any power they wield in Westminster after the election to foster division and further their dream of the break up of the 300-year-old Union. And he mocked Ms Sturgeon over her demand to play a role in propping up a Labour government, when she is 'not even bothering' to stand as an MP herself. Scroll down for video . SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon was mocked by ex-PM Sir John Major over her demand to play a role in proper up a Labour government, when she is 'not even bothering' to stand as an MP herself . Sir John said that he had repeatedly warned in the 1990s that devolution to Scotland would make independence more, not less, likely. Labour had argued it would 'kill independence stone dead' but instead it 'fanned the flame' which lead to the referendum which left the Union 'battered' but intact. 'Now, it is at risk again,' he said. Labour's only route back to power is in hock to smaller, left wing parties, he said, leading to 'more borrowing, more spending, an end to welfare reform, and far more people dragged into higher tax brackets'. Welsh nationalists Plaid Cymru would demand more money for Wales while the 'worthy' Green party's economic plan is 'a recipe for economic self-harm'. He warned of 'mayhem' if the SNP holds the balance of power, with a weak Labour government open to a 'daily dose of blackmail' to secure the support of the nationalists in Commons votes. The SNP would use its role in Westminster to bolster support ahead of next year's Scottish Parliament elections, when it will put independence back on the agenda, Sir John said. The Tories hope to capitalise on a damning poll which shows more than half of British voters want Ms Sturgeon and her party to play no part in the next government. 'The SNP is a real and present danger to our future,' Sir John said. 'They will pit Scotland against England. That could be disastrous to the people of Scotland \u2013 and fatal to the UK as a whole.' But Ms Sturgeon branded his comments 'an affront to democracy'. Addressing the Scottish Trades Union Congress in Ayr, she said that SNP MPs at Westminster could 'vigorously and loudly' support a future Labour government in some areas. The SNP leader added: 'John Major's comments are silly, over the top and frankly they don't show him in a particularly good light. 'I want the SNP to go to Westminster to make Scotland's voice heard and also to be a voice for better politics, for the kind of politics that stands in opposition to Tory policies of austerity and undermining public services and pushing more people into poverty.

It was down to Memphis Depay, who scored his 20th goal of the season to confirm their 22nd championship in Holland. It turned heads at Manchester United. Yet Jim Lawlor, their chief scout, had been doing his homework long before Depay reached the total which Louis van Gaal holds in such high regard.

If a 21-year-old can do it from the wing in 27 appearances, albeit in Holland rather than England, is that not worth a \u00a325million investment? Manchester United think so, and they are not alone. From 'official talks' with Liverpool, to 'discussions' with Paris Saint-Germain, to a not-so-secret meeting in Manchester. Depay has been busy, and no wonder. He is the Eredivisie's top goalscorer, without even being PSV's main forward. His 20 goals have contributed 12 points, which just so happens to be the difference between them and second-placed Ajax.

He has 'dream chaser' tattooed across his chest, and 'successful' inked on the inside of his lower lip. Joining the iconic Manchester United brand would not contradict either, particularly given his difficult childhood. As a four-year-old, his parents separated. In 2012, after turning 18, he dropped 'Depay' from the back of his shirt as a snub to his absent father. Raised by his mother in the southern Dutch town of Moordrecht, he grew up in 'a small village where there is not much to do', so says Gigi, a childhood friend of Depay's. Yet some of the greatest footballers were created in such places. Take Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez, for example. He grew up in poverty-stricken rural Chile in a mining town called Tocopilla \u2013 literal meaning Devil's Corner.

The shocking stat is revealed as City's title hopes lay in tatters following Monday night's 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace which Manuel Pellegrini's side trailed at the interval. The last time City managed to win having been in a losing position at half-time was on April 17, 1995 when they beat Blackburn Rovers 3-2 having been 2-1 down at the break.

Liverpool beat Aston Villa after losing 1-0 at the interval against Aston Villa in March 2013 while Arsenal came from 2-1 down to beat Chelsea 5-3 in October 2011. To make matters worse, it seems Manuel Pellegrini's men are in need of some new blood. City had the second oldest starting XI in the Premier League this weekend with an average age of 29 years and 345 days; only West Brom fielded an older side, during their 4-1 home defeat to QPR.

The football purists are foaming at the mouth \u2013 how can this Portuguese pretender dare to win games without wanting the football? Is this the most negative side to ever win the title? Is this the most terrible team to lift the Champions\u2019 crown? Woah there, just hang on a moment. Jose Mourinho has come under fire for Chelsea's lack of possession during their 1-0 win over Man United . Mourinho and his staff and players celebrate the crucial win over United on Saturday at Stamford Bridge . I\u2019m no fan of the kind of football Chelsea played on Saturday to beat Manchester United. But at the end of the season, they are getting the job done, it\u2019s as simple as that. And who can blame Mourinho for being so cautious? Last season they were seven points clear at the top of the table but fell away after losing at Aston Villa and Crystal Palace \u2013 both in the bottom half of the table at the time, and were beaten at home by Sunderland, who were six points adrift in 20th place. And then needing a win to go top of the Premier League with just two games to go, Mourinho watched his side draw 0-0 at home to Norwich, who were about to be relegated. The title that had been in their grasp, was lost. Chelsea\u2019s most impressive result during that run-in was a 2-0 win at Liverpool, a game made famous by Steven Gerrard\u2019s slip. It ended Liverpool\u2019s 16-match unbeaten run and checked their charge to the title. That day Chelsea let Liverpool have 73 per cent possession over the 90 minutes. Chelsea found a way to win without the ball. And Mourinho did the same on Saturday to an in-form Manchester United, who had 70 per cent possession at Stamford Bridge. It\u2019s not my kind of football \u2013 I like to see what talented professional players can do with the ball. And so does Louis van Gaal. Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was left frustrated after his side were defeated 1-0 by Chelsea . Steven Gerrard slips against Chelsea at Anfield last season - a game Chelsea won with only 17% possession . Ba scores as Chelsea go on to win at Anfield and effectively end Liverpool's title push last season . The Dutch master might just wonder to himself if things could have been different if he had certain individuals fit. All clubs have injuries, but for that massive game on Saturday, United needed key players in the team. It would have been fascinating to see if Van Gaal\u2019s possession philosophy would have won the day, over the Jose way. Chelsea won the game, and they did it in typical Mourinho fashion \u2013 by not wanting possession of the football. Jose has learned a lot from his mistakes of last season. I understand his pragmatism given that Chelsea are so close to sealing the title. But he fell into this negativity", "summary": "Jose Mourinho under fire after Chelsea only have 30 per cent possession in Saturday's 1-0 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge .

Speak to your butcher when you're shopping for a perfect steak and pay a little bit extra for the best meat . Allow your meat to come to room temperature before you start cooking, Mr McCarroll advised . According to Jared McCarroll head chef at M Restaurant and Grill, the first step to a perfect steak starts when you are shopping; when buying steaks purchase the best meat you can afford. He told Femail: \u2018It\u2019s best to speak to your local butcher and pay a little bit extra and reap the rewards when eating it.\u2019 And while we all stress about the cooking times for steak, he advises in checking the temperature of the meat before you start preparing your meal. 'One of the most important steps in cooking the perfect steak that is often forgotten or never thought about, is to allow your meat to come to room temperature first. 'This will shorten the cooking time and help to prevent grey rings from happening,' Mr McCarroll continued. Your steak should have a fine texture, be well marbled (veins of fat running through the meat) and firm to the touch. The shape and thickness of the steak is also important; the best steaks are one to 1.5-inches thick as a thinner cut is likely to get dry quicker. \u2018The texture will depend on the quality of the beef and the cut; fillet has the best texture but the least flavour, whereas ribeye has more flavour and more fat, less texture but more flavour,' the chef said. \u2018When it comes to the shape of the steak, try and keep it flat and a decent thickness. \u2018Too thin a steak will be easy to overcook. Also try to keep the shape the same throughout the whole steak as this will help to keep the cooking consistent. A rib-eye (pictured) has more fat and more flavour but less texture . Some people like theirs blue while others don\u2019t want to see any pink in their meat. But what are the perfect timings to cook steak the way you like it? If you are unsure, it's best to speak to your butcher as they will be able to give you the best advice based on the thickness and cut of meat. The cooking times below are for a 2cm thick sirloin steak . Blue: 1 minute each side. The steak should be just warm and fell spongy under your fingertips. Meat should still be dark in colour . Rare: 1.5 minutes per side. Dark red with some juice. There will be some resistance when you", "summary": "Jared McCarroll head chef at M Restaurant and Grill shares his expertise .

Quincy Hazel and Sabrina Golden-Hazel, both 44 from Riviera Beach, also allegedly never took either of the children, a 17-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, to a doctor or dentist. A 26-year-old relative told police that the family has 11 children but that the 17- and 12-year-old were the only two subjected to the cruel treatment, the Sun Sentinel reported. The conditions emerged when the older child ran away from home last month and started living on the street. Arrested: Sabrina Golden-Hazel, left, and Quincy Hazel, right, have been charged with child neglect after two of their children told investigators they had been locked in a closet and forced to sleep on the floor . When a 19-year-old woman took him in, he told her he was too scared to go home, she told authorities. Speaking to investigators, the teenager said that the couple started locking him and the girl in the closet when they were young and they would spend days on end trapped inside. They were never sure how much time had passed because they could not see sunlight from inside the closet, the boy said. After the girl pretended to be dead a few years ago, Golden-Hazel allowed them to sleep on the floor of a bedroom rather than in the closet, the 26-year-old relative told authorities. When they were let out, the boy was so hungry that he would eat trash, which sometimes made him sick, and he had to endure beatings at the hands of Hazel, he told investigators. Scene: The children, who lived at this home, picked food out of the trash to eat, they told investigators . Locked up: The couple had other children but allegedly only subjected the two children to the treatment . Investigators noticed that he had teeth missing and he said he would often cry at night because of the pain in his mouth - but that he was never once taken to a dentist. Hazel told detectives that he never noticed the children had any health problems, while Golden-Hazel said she hadn't taken them to the dentists or doctors because they had refused to go. She also accused the children of making up the stories and told investigators she home schooled the children - but police did not find any books in the house.

It is a simplification, of course, but perhaps a useful way of understanding why, as we survey the Champions League quarter finals, there are no Premier League clubs troubling the scorers. Bayern Munich take on Porto on Wednesday night and even though they are contending with an injury crisis which leaves them without Bastian Schweinsteiger, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben among others you might anticipate a sixth Champions League semi-final for Guardiola in his six years of management. Of course Guardiola isn't alone responsible for the decline of the Premier League in Europe; nor is it really down to St Andrews, though the iconic town with its genteel ambience played its part in continental Europe overhauling the English clubs. Pep Guardiola prepares his side for their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Porto . The Bayern boss gives instructions to his goalkeeper Manuel Neuer at a training session on Tuesday . Something happened back in 2008 when Guardiola took over at Barcelona and it wasn't that the Barcelona team changed. Frank Rijkaard had virtually the same players but Guardiola managed to find an extra 25 per cent of performance in them. What happened was a tactical change which had at its roots in St Andrews, where the Barcelona team spent their first pre season under Guardiola. There Messi was a distracted individual, sometimes sneering at Guardiola's insistence on organisation and pressing, according to Guillem Balague's account in his biographies of Messi and Guardiola. But a breakthrough came when Guardiola stuck up for Messi in his battle with the club to play for Argentina in the Beijing Olympics. The new manager took the young Argentinian under his wing, sidling up to him after training, putting his arm round him to assure him of his support. Guardiola is bidding to reach his sixth Champions League semi-final in his six years as a manager . Guardiola got Messi on side in 2008 after standing up for him in battle to represent Argentina at the Beijing Olympics . Messi, the precocious star, suddenly felt he had an ally in Guardiola. And, as a result, he began to buy into Guardiola's idea of relentless pressing to supplement the tiki taka football, which was already a template at Barcelona. For tiki taka is not what made Guardiola\u2019s team great. 'I loathe all that passing for the sake of it, all that tiki-taka. It's rubbish and has no purpose.' It sounds like Sam Allardyce, but those are the words of the great high priest of possession football as reported by Marti Perarnau in his book Pep Confidential. What Guardiola added to Barcelona\u2019s game was the intensity, drive and sheer energy which had wilted under Rijkaard and then moulded it with overwhelming possession. Sometimes, when assessing the English problem in Europe, it helps to reverse the question. So, rather than ask 'Why are we so bad now?' it useful to identify why were we so good between 2005-2009?'

England dominated against a modest St Kitts & Nevis XI, dismissing them for a paltry 59 inside 27 overs and then compiling 181 for one in reply. The quality of the home batsmen made the first innings seem like little more than a glorified net session, though Stokes still impressed with a lively spell that yielded three wickets for 10. Alastair Cook plays behind square on his way to an unbeaten 95 in the tour match against a St Kitts' XI . Cook and teammate Jonathan Trott talk in between overs during the St Kitts and Nevis Invitational XI game . More important for England's Test prospects, though, was the stand of 158 between Cook (95 not out) and Trott (72).

He now has the chance to nail down the role of Cook's opening partner and made a solid start in admittedly favourable circumstances. 'Trotty and Cooky gave them nothing and it will stand us in good stead for the Test matches,' said Stokes. Ben Stokes spoke strongly about his team-mates after the two batsmen looked assured at the crease . Stokes had earlier taken three for 10 in an impressive spell with the ball, as England dominated the day . 'The biggest thing for a batsman is time out in the middle. You can do all the training in the nets you want but nothing quite compares to a game and they both did that well today. Trotty has been great, it is almost like he hasn't left. To see him go out and score some runs, the way he has been known to for England over the last five years, was really good to see.' Stokes arguably went over the top in his assessment of Cook's knock, but with the captain having come under pressure for his lack of major scores, it could yet prove an important effort. Stokes described his captain Cook as one of the best players in the world after his return to form . 'It was fantastic for Cooky too,' said Stokes. 'He's been out of the game for a while so to come in and look like the one of the best batsmen in the world, like he once was, was great. The tempo he played at was fantastic and any bad ball he managed to put it away, which was good to see.' For his part, Stokes looks a certainty to return to the Test side in the Caribbean.

They were left broken-hearted when writer Julian Fellowes announced that the next series of Downton Abbey would be the last. But at least the hit show's millions of fans can now look forward to more fun from the Oscar winner. He plans another heady TV mix of romance, class struggle and social snobbery, this time based on the work of Anthony Trollope, one of Britain's greatest novelists. Lord Fellowes, 65, has revealed he is to turn Trollope's 1858 novel Doctor Thorne into a new three-part historical drama for ITV. He said: 'Doctor Thorne is one of my favourite novels. It is romantic and funny and I am absolutely delighted to be doing it. I said yes to it straight away.' He added: 'It is rooted in darkness and starts with a murder, which spreads its shadow over many of the principal characters.' The novel tells the story of Doctor Thomas Thorne, who lives in the village of Greshamsbury in Barsetshire with his beautiful niece, Mary, a girl blessed with every gift except money. Mary has grown up alongside the Gresham sisters \u2013 Augusta, Beatrice and Alexandrina \u2013 and their handsome brother Frank, whose home is the great house and estate at Greshamsbury Park. When the terrifying Lady Arabella Gresham discovers that her son Frank has fallen in love with Doctor Thorne's penniless niece, she is horrified. And the situation is made all the more fraught because Doctor Thorne is harbouring a secret about Mary's parentage which threatens to bring everyone's world crashing down. Trollope's tale is considered one of his best works and Fellowes's track record in both television and film is likely to attract an A-list cast. TV insiders say Hugh Bonneville, who plays Lord Grantham in Downton, and Lily James, who plays Lady Rose in the show and who stars in the new Disney cinema hit Cinderella, would be ideal as Thomas Thorne and Mary. But one source last night said that ITV would be keen to ensure that the cast of the new drama was not filled with faces from Downton. TV critics want Hugh Bonneville, who plays Lord Grantham in Downton, to appear in the new television show . The tale is considered one of Trollope's best works . Several actresses, including Anna Chancellor, who made a guest appearance in the last series of Downton Abbey, Juliet Stevenson and Janet McTeer could all be likely contenders for the role of the snobbish Lady Arabella. The project is the realisation of a life- long ambition for Fellowes, a huge admirer of Trollope's work. He revealed plans for the new drama at a dinner held at The Athenaeum Club in London on Friday night to celebrate the bicentenary of Trollope's birth. Fellowes was a speaker at the event. He told The Mail on Sunday that there was a snobbishness towards Trollope in certain quarters and he hoped the adaptation would lead to a flood", "summary": "Lord Fellowes, 65, has revealed he is to turn Trollope's 1858 novel Doctor Thorne into a new three-part historical drama for ITV .

A Tennessee teenager on trial for murder says he killed his mother with a sledgehammer because she knew he had been raped by his older brother and did nothing about it. Zachary Davis was fifteen when he bludgeoned his mother's skull 12 times as she slept and then set his family home ablaze in an effort to also kill his elder sibling Josh.

Battered: The teen's single mother Melanie Davis, 46, was killed with a sledgehammer while she was sleeping in her bed . Shockingly, Davis told Linzy during his confession that he he laughed out loud for no reason he could remember during his frenzied attack. He also said he only had one regret from that night, 'I would probably kill Josh with a sledgehammer too.' However, during his interrogation, Davis did tell police why he brutally killed his mother and tried to kill his brother by burning down the house. Linzy told the court on Tuesday that Davis alleged his brother, Josh raped him and that he told his mom, 'who didn't do anything about it.' Josh Davis vehemently denies ever sexually abusing his family and Linzy told the court law enforcement came to the same conclusion.

Moeen is planning to join up with the England squad ahead of the second Test in the Caribbean, starting in Grenada on April 21 \u2013 having recovered more quickly from a rib injury than anyone expected. And he intends to put to good use the experience gained during the World Cup, where he averaged 38 with a strike-rate of 105 \u2013 one of the few glimmers of light in an otherwise benighted tournament for England. Moeen Ali will join up with England ahead of their second West Indies Test after recovering quicker than expected form a rib injury .

When the Ashes get going on July 8 Australia will undoubtedly bombard Moeen with bouncers after he found a variety of ways to get out to the short ball against Sri Lanka and India last year \u2013 with Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc ready to unleash merry hell. But Moeen, who was recently named one of Wisden\u2019s Five Cricketers of the Year, said: \u2018It was something I was working on at the World Cup in Australia.

It was good for me to see that I can handle that kind of bowling. \u2018I probably thought about the short ball too much in the end, and forgot about the rest of my batting. So I\u2019ve learned from that now, and hopefully I won\u2019t ever do that again.\u2019 Moeen struggled with the short delivery against Sri Lanka and India (pictured) last year . And for those who have not yet erased from their memories Johnson\u2019s demolition job on England\u2019s batsmen during the 5-0 Ashes whitewash in 2013-14, Moeen has some cautionary words. \u2018I think Starc is quicker than Johnson,\u2019 he said. \u2018I think he\u2019ll be more dangerous than him because of the swing.

Headteacher Linda Shute has banned children from consuming drinks - including tea, coffee, fruit juice and soft drinks - in a bid to protect the long-term health of pupils at Rowdown Primary School in New Addington, south London. But some parents believe the water-only rule is too strict, claiming many children go all day without a drink because they do not like water. Scroll down for video . A headteacher is forcing primary school pupils to only drink water during the school day after banning all other drinks, including fruit juice . Samantha Moore, who launched the petition, said: 'As a mother, I have the right to choose what my son drinks.' Another campaigner, Anela, from Croydon, added: 'They should be able to drink whatever they want and not just water because some kids don't like water.' Mrs Shute, who announced her aims by enforcing the rule in a school newsletter last month, said: 'The water-only policy is being very well supported by parents and children. 'Thank you for this and know in your hearts, if you have any doubts, this policy is for the long-term health of all your children.' But her move provoked a backlash from some, who branded it a 'joke'. Alan Fay said: 'It's about time that schools started looking after the kids again and stop just doing what is told by the powers above.' Gemma Irwin, from New Addington, added : 'I believe that it should be up to the parent what their child drinks. 'If teachers are allowed tea and coffee, why can't a child have a bottle of juice or flavoured water?' But the school has defended its decision. The rule has been enforced to protect the long-term health of pupils at Rowdown Primary School (pictured) in New Addington, south London . It follows a similar ban which sparked anger at Valence Primary School in Dagenham, east London, when it was introduced in January last year. Headteacher Elizabeth Chaplin brought in the new rule as part of a 'health drive' and drinks other than water were poured down the sink. In June last year, children at Carlton Central Infants' School in Nottingham, were barred from drinking fruit squash - a measure opposed by some parents. Tam Fry, chairman of the Child Growth Foundation and spokesman for the National Obesity Forum, is among campaigners who have pushed for healthy drink options in schools. He has praised schools that clamp down on sugar-filled juices, which he believes should be limited to one small glass a week.

Called Eye2TV, it adjusts colours in the image so that shows look 'normal', even if features colours such as red and green that would otherwise not be visible. And the subtle effect is such that someone with normal vision will barely notice any change in the picture, so people can easily watch TV together. Scroll down for video . Norwich scientists have developed an adaptor for colour blindness. Eye2TV can be plugged into any HDMI port on a TV or a computer monitor (shown in illustration). A remote control or app then adjusts the colour adjustment. It allows colour blind people to watch shows they otherwise couldn't . The team from the University of East Anglia in Norwich is seeking \u00a3100,000 ($150,000) of funding to get their project of the ground. At the moment you can buy a single adaptor with a Bluetooth remote control for \u00a350 ($75), with shipping expected in May 2016. The device uses a patented Eyeteq algorithm to automatically adjust the picture, with a variety of settings available until optimal picture quality is found. The video is enhanced on a frame-by-frame basis through Spectral Edge's patented Eyeteq image enhancement technology, offering a dramatically improved viewing experience. The picture quality can be adjusted via remote control to suit the unique colour-vision of the individual viewer. To make the effect work, they created a small gadget that plugs into the HDMI port of a TV or monitor. You then plug another device into the adaptor and, using an app or remote, adjust the colour settings on whatever you are watching. It works with any HD-ready screen, such as a TV or a computer monitor. It charges using a USB cable, which can be plugged into a spare USB port or into a plug. And the goal is to enable people of all sight levels to enjoy shows. At the moment, more than 90 per cent of forms of colour blindness are supported. Around four per cent of the world's population suffers from colour blindness. Their viewing experience is particularly affected when watching particular content types. For example, it can be difficult to tell sports teams apart, particularly if one is playing in red and the other in green, while programmes about wildlife, cookery and art are severely impacted. 'A 2014 Champions League football match between an all red and an all green football team [Liverpool and Ludogrets] was unwatchable for colour blind fans,' explained Christopher Cytera, Managing Director of Spectral Edge, the spin-off company of the university developing the product. But with Eye2TV, the same match could have been watched by people who were colour blind and not alike. The team also says nature shows are difficult to watch, as they often mix colours that are indistinguishable to people who are colour blind. A Champions League football match between Liverpool and Ludogrets on 16 September 2014 (pictured) was criticised because the teams played in red and green, making it difficult", "summary": "Norwich scientists have developed a \u00a350 adaptor for colour blindness .

Nafir Afzal said teenagers are at risk of 'jihadimania' and warned that 'another 7/7' could happen unless Britain makes sweeping changes to the way it tackles terrorism. Mr Afzal, former head of the Crown Prosecution Service in the north-west, said children are 'manipulated' by Islamists and that Britain needs a new approach in the way it deals with radicalisation. He told the Guardian's Nigel Bunyan: 'The boys want to be like them and the girls want to be with them.

Christopher Wheeler, 54, who worked at the exclusive Tower Hill school in Delaware, had more than 2,000 images and videos of boys engaging in sex acts with men when police raided his $350,000 mansion in Wilmington in October 2013. One of those showed a naked boy with his head being held by an adult male while performing a sex act. Court documents say Wheeler was running Net Shred - a program designed to eradicate internet history - when authorities knocked on his door. The discovery led to the accomplished composer and pilot being fired from a job he had held for nine years, which had a salary of nearly $3700,000. The investigation stemmed from allegations he had sexually his adopted son, aspiring professional golfer Nikolai, and two other teenagers. Nikolai has however denied the allegations and Wheeler has not faced abuse charges. He was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis on Friday, the same judge who found him guilty of the shocking crimes in December. Wheeler opted for a non-jury trial in September which only last one day.

After police searched his school-owned mansion, his private plane and his school office, he tried to flee, but turned himself into authorities less than a month later. According to the Delaware News Journal, he turned down a plea bargain which may have substantially reduced his sentence. Wheeler's attorney, Thomas A.

Fall from grace: The former headmaster at the exclusive Tower Hill School in Delaware, who earned nearly $370,000 a year in the position, was arrested after police searched his mansion, school office and private plane in 2013 . He insisted that the court wanted to paint Wheeler as 'Mr Filthy' insisting there is 'no proof he knew' the child images were there. But Davis stated the sheer number of indecent images did not inadvertently end up on his computer. Prosecutor Abigail Layton told the paper after sentencing: 'Think about what is contained in each of those pictures. 'In those pictures, kids are being raped and violated and it is captured on film for the rest of their life, the life of the Internet. Their worst moments are on film.' She added Wheeler had used child porn for his 'own gratification' and 'it was not by mistake, it was by design.'

The Ohio-based National School Safety and Security Services reviewed more than 800 school threats covered in the media during the first half of the 2014-15 academic year. Researchers found that about one-third of cases involved violent remarks sent anonymously via text message, social media, email or other online means. Law enforcement officers say the use of the modern technologies has made it much harder to determine if a threat is real and to find the culprit. Worrying trend: In this January 13, 2014 photo, students pass by Seven Lakes High School after being evacuated for the day after a bomb squad was called to remove a potentially explosive device . In many cases, swift action is taken with lockdowns and evacuations. However, authorities say the majority of the time threats turn out to be hoaxes. Indeed, just this week a 16-year-old from Gateway High School in Kissimmee, Florida, was arrested for posting about a bomb threat on Twitter because 'she was angry and did not want to go to school,' according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. Complicating matters, the threats aren't just coming from within school walls or even a school's neighborhood. Last fall, Lakota Middle School in Federal Way, Washington, was placed in lockdown and police responded after an email purportedly from the Islamic State group demanded ransom money and threatened to 'shoot and kill' every American, according to a police report. A 14-year-old student was arrested after admitting the email had been sent by her online friend 'Ryan' after she told him to 'swat' her school because she thought it would be funny, police said. Anonymous: Law enforcement officers say the use of the modern technologies has made it that much harder to determine if a threat is real and to find the culprit (stock photo) 'Swatting' plays off the idea of issuing a threat that draws a SWAT team in response, disrupting activities at the target of the threat. It appears to have originated with pranksters in the online gaming community. In a separate case, a 14-year-old in western Michigan was ordered by a judge to pay nearly $8,000 in restitution to the Coopersville Area Public Schools and the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office for his involvement in a swatting incident that put schools in lockdown after a caller using computer-based technology made threats against the schools. Authorities say the call was made by a person code-named 'Ransom,' whom the teen had met online. 'Ransom' is believed to live in the UK and is suspected in a string of similar incidents from coast to coast, according to law enforcement. 'He will learn from this,' the teen's father said, according to the Grand Rapids Press in Michigan.

+{"article": "They are probably one of the most famous dinosaurs to be discovered due to the distinctive line of armoured plates along its back. Now new research revealed that male and female stegosaurus had different shaped plates running along their backs. It raises the prospect that the dinosaurs used its giant bony protrusions, which could reach up to 2.5 feet, to attract a mate. Scientists have found that male stegosaurus (top) had different shaped armoured plates to females (bottom) Palaeontologists say male stegosaurus could have used them to show off their prowess in much the same way as peacocks do today. The research has also helped to answer a problem that has baffled palaeontologists for decades. A pair of turkey-sized \u2018egg thief lizards\u2019 dubbed Romeo and Juliet were found lying next to each other in a 75-million-year-old rock in the mid-90s, but it has taken until now for experts to determine the sex of the 'lovers'. Now, researchers believe they have come up with a way to tell fossils of small feathered male dinosaurs from those of females. They say that the key differences between the sexes lie in bones near the base of the tail. Paleontologistsat the University of Alberta examined a pair of fossils found in Mongolia, which were first described in 2001. One is a complete skeleton, while the other is missing the middle and end of its tail. the researchers looked at indirect evidence of sexually dimorphic display structures, which are evident today in birds. Examples include the fans of peacocks, the tall crests of roosters or the long tail feathers of some birds of paradise, which are used to attract and court mates. They are almost always much larger in males who do the courting, than in females, who do the choosing. The team theorised that like birds, small feathered dinosaurs such as oviraptors used long feathers on their tails to attract mates, rather than for flying. Some stegosaurus individuals have been found with wide plates while others had tall plates with a sharper tip that were 45 per cent smaller. Experts believed that these may have been two distinct species or individuals of a different age. However, using modern scanning techniques on a group of stegosaurus discovered at a 'graveyard' in central Montana, scientists have unraveled the answer. They found dinosaurs that had both sets of plates in the graveyard, suggesting they lived side-by-side. Apart from the different plates, their skeletons were identical. This makes it unlikely that they were different species and CT scanning has shown that the bones were not morphing into one or the other. This suggests they belonged to two different sexes instead. The research team believe that the males may have had the larger, broader plates for use in mating displays while the females had the sharper taller plates, that may have helped to discourage unwanted attention or predators. Evan Saitta, who conducted the work at the University of Bristol, said: 'As males typically invest more in their ornamentation, the larger, wide plates likely came from males.

US Department of the Treasury officials insist the $20 Double Eagles were stolen from the US Mint in Philadelphia before the 1933 series was melted down when the country went off the gold standard. They argued that Joan Langbord and her sons cannot lawfully own the coins, which she said she found in a family bank deposit box in 2003. Scroll down for video . Ten 1933 Double Eagle coins, which were almost all destroyed when the US went off the gold standard, have been given back to the Langbord family after a length legal dispute with the government . The family found the valuables in a bank deposit box for Joan Langbord's father Israel Switt, a Philadelphia jeweler (left, in 1944). The government believed that Switt stole the coins from a mint in 1933 . Langbord's father, jeweler Israel Switt, had dealings with the Mint in the 1930s and was twice investigated over his coin holdings. A jury in 2012 sided with the government. However, the appeals court returned the coins to the Langbords because US officials had not responded within a 90-day limit to the family's seized-property claim, filed in about 2004. Family lawyer Barry Berke said: 'Congress clearly intended for there to be limits on the government's ability to seek forfeiture of citizens' property, and today's ruling reaffirms that those limits are real and won't be excused when the government violates them.' Langbord, who's in her mid-80s, worked in her father's store on Jeweler's Row for most of her life. Her sons, entertainment lawyer Roy Langbord, of New York City, and David Langbord, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, joined her in the legal fight. Nearly half a million of the coins were minted in 1933, though almost all were melted and a surviving coin sold for $7.6million in 2002 . The coins were never released to the public after President Franklin Delano Roosevelt switched the US off the gold standard . They do not plan to comment on the ruling and have not decided whether the coins will be sold, Berke said.

Manchester City, meanwhile, have gone from joint top on New Year's Day to 12 points off the leaders and looking over their shoulders at the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Southampton. Here are five things we learned from the Manchester derby. UNITED NOW ON COURSE FOR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE . For much of the season United seemed to be in false position, with their performances hardly giving the impression they belonged in the top four. But now - whether by luck or design - something seems to have clicked for Louis van Gaal and United are now playing with a cutting edge and with confidence. A Champions League return now looks likely. Manchester United celebrated a 4-2 win over their closest rivals at Old Trafford on Sunday . CRISIS FOR CITY AND PELLEGRINI . City's results since going joint top of the Barclays Premier League on New Year's Day make abysmal reading for a side of their quality. Their run of four league wins in 12 games - during a period in which they also went out of two cup competitions - surely constitutes a crisis for a club with their expectations. The already considerable scrutiny on manager Manuel Pellegrini will increase another notch. Manuel Pellegrini is under increasing pressure after a woeful second half of the season for his team . FELLAINI CONTINUES TO HIT BACK . For much of his first season at United, Marouane Fellaini looked out of touch and possibly out of his depth. That has all changed in the last few months as he has become increasingly important to Van Gaal. The midfielder uses his strength to great effect as United continue to loft the ball forward to him and teams find him difficult to dispossess. Marouane Fellaini celebrates after heading Manchester United into the lead in the first half . Fellaini has been key in United's recent run of form to lift them into third place in the Premier League . CITY TEAM COMING TO END OF LINE .

Reinvestment is clearly needed in the summer and, on this evidence, the back four would be a priority. Yaya Toure looks on dejected during Manchester City's thrashing at Old Trafford on Sunday . UNITED NEED TO IMPROVE DEFENSIVELY TOO . For all that United went on to dominate the game, City started superbly, reminding everyone of the quality they do still possess.

While Wolves are just about still alive in the promotion race, Ipswich remain well placed for a top-six finish despite failing to hold on to the advantage they were presented by Stearman. Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy, who was in charge at Wolves for almost six years before being sacked in February 2012, has steered them to 75 points and knows that winning their final two games of the season would secure a place in the play-offs. Molineux manager Kenny Jackett had wanted a frenetic start and he got that through quick striker Nouha Dicko. Dicko had been left out of the starting line-up for the previous game at Middlesbrough and he looked like he had a point to prove following his recall, with pace which tormented Tommy Smith and his central defensive partner, Wolves old boy Christophe Berra. However, the hosts failed to make the most of his efforts and Ipswich were able to ride out the storm before taking the lead. New Zealand international Smith rose above the Wolves defence and met a corner from Teddy Bishop that was glanced goalwards and deflected into his own net by the luckless Stearman. Wolves took time to come to terms with falling behind and when they finally did force an attack of note Dicko saw his 33rd-minute shot blocked by Berra. That sparked Jackett's team back into life and they were unlucky not to draw level six minutes before half-time when Ipswich failed to clear their lines. The ball fell invitingly on the edge of the area to Dave Edwards, whose volley looked set to sneak just inside the post before Bartosz Bialkowski tipped it away for a corner.

+{"article": "An Iowa politician is on trial this week accused of sexually abusing his wife after doctors said she was no longer mentally capable of legally consenting to have sex. When Henry and Donna Lou Rayhons married seven years ago in their northern Iowa hometown, it was a second chance at love for the devoted couple, both previously widowed. But their domestic routine of church activities and political functions unraveled as Donna's health began to fail. Last year, the 78-year-old woman was moved into a nursing home, suffering from dementia and Alzheimers. According to Henry Rayhon's family, this was decided by her daughters from a previous marriage. Republican lawmaker Henry Rayhons, 78, is preparing to stand trial in Iowa for sexually assaulting his wife, who died last August, days before he was formally charged . Conflict developed over how to care for Donna Lou Rayhons, culminating in a meeting in which staff told Henry Rayhons that his wife was no longer mentally capable of legally consenting to have sex. State prosecutors say Henry Rayhons \u2014 a long-serving Republican state lawmaker \u2014 ignored that message. On Wednesday, he will stand trial for sexually assaulting his wife, who died last August. The charges were filed days after she died. Many couples experience the hardships of illness, mental decline and living apart, but what happened with the Rayhons has little precedent. Experts could not think of another rape case that happened because a previously consenting spouse could no longer legally acquiesce. 'This is the first one I've seen,' said Mark Kosieradzki, a Minneapolis-based attorney who has tried numerous cases of sexual abuse in nursing homes. 'It's a case that's going to be focusing on the rights of the vulnerable. Just because you're married, it doesn't mean you need to check your consent rights at the door.' Through an attorney, Donna Lou Rayhons' daughters declined to discuss the case. The state Attorney General's office also declined. And Henry Rayhons, who has said that he is innocent, refused an interview through a son. Henry and Donna Lou Rayhons married seven years ago in their northern Iowa hometown, but their domestic routine of church activities and political functions unraveled as Donna's health began to fail . Last summer, when the charges were first filed, Henry Rayhons' family released a statement. 'Donna's location did not change Dad's love for Donna nor her love for him. It did not change their marriage relationship. And so he continued to have contact with his spouse in the nursing home; who among us would not,' read the statement, which went on to call the charges 'illogical and unnatural.' The crux of the case is the question of Donna Lou Rayhons' ability to consent. Iowa law defines an act as sexual abuse in the third degree if the two parties are not living together as husband and wife and if one person 'is suffering from a mental defect or incapacity which precludes giving consent.' Elizabeth Edgerly, a clinical psychologist who serves as chief program officer for the nonprofit Alzheimer's Association, said determining capacity is challenging.", "summary": "Henry Rayhons, 78, is preparing to stand trial in Iowa for sexually assaulting his wife Donna Lou Rayhons .

In an interview with Sky News Doaa, who left after her Saudi Arabian husband blew himself up in a suicide attack, said women also received a 'standard' 40 lashes if they did not wear proper Islamic dress. The 20-year-old, who was paid around \u00a370 a month by the unit, said: 'What upset me most was lashing old women when they weren't wearing the proper clothes.' Umma, 25, was forced to marry a foreign fighter. She said did not see him very much as he was often on the front line.

That is where clubs at the top level can look down at the Championship and below to take their pick of the players trying to impress. Yet it can be a case of hit and miss. Here, Sportsmail looks at examples of players who have represented the lower leagues well in the Premier League, and others who can do so too. Aaron Cresswell (Ipswich Town to West Ham in July 2014 \u2013 \u00a32million) The full-back is one of just five outfield players to play every minute of his team's Premier League games this season . Cresswell began at Tranmere Rovers, making his debut in November 2008. From there, he moved to Ipswich in June 2011, apparently turning down West Bromwich Albion and Doncaster Rovers. He won the Supporters Player of the Year award, and was linked with Aston Villa. Yet it was West Ham who signed the left-back on a five-year contract, spending just \u00a32m in doing so. Cresswell has made 32 appearances in the Premier League since, and his impressive performances have reportedly caught the eye of Manchester City and Chelsea. Both clubs need to add more home-grown talent to their squads, and the West Ham regular would add to that batch. Aaron Cresswell has proved a good fit for the Premier League since signing for West Ham in July 2014 . John Stones (Barnsley to Everton in January 2013 - \u00a33m) Stones has the best passing accuracy of any Everton player this season - 90.8% . A Barnsley youth product, Stones made 25 appearances in the Championship for the club, before leaving for Everton on a five-and-a-half-year deal. It reportedly cost them \u00a33m, and he has made 38 appearances in the Premier League since. Despite an ankle injury which ruled him out for 10-14 weeks, Stones was nominated for the Golden Boy 2014 award alongside Gerard Deulofeu, Calum Chambers, Raheem Sterling and Luke Shaw. During his time in the top flight, he has earned four caps for England. Another potential star. John Stones signed for Everton from Barnsley in January 2013 for just \u00a33m and has been a good addition . Andrew Robertson (Dundee United to Hull City in July 2014 - \u00a32.85m) Robertson has made 40 dribbles this year, 17 more than any other Hull defender . No disrespect to Dundee United or the Scottish Premiership, but it is widely assumed that the Premier League is somewhat of a step up. Some make it, some don't. Robertson can class himself in the former category. The Hull youngster has thrived since moving to the KC Stadium in July 2014, and even scored against England for Scotland four months later. Steve Bruce, the Hull manager, admits he has already had calls from clubs interested in the Glasgow-born left-back, who has made 21 appearances in the Premier League.

+{"article": "Anyone who has witnessed a game of hockey or netball might disagree, but men really are more competitive than women, according to a new study. Researchers have discovered that male athletes are more driven by the desire to beat the competition than female athletes. Sportswomen tend to be more committed to aspects of their lives outside sport - such as their academic studies - than their male counterparts, the researchers say. The researchers found that male 5,000 metre runners are more competitive than women. Great Britain's Mo Farah is pictured above running to victory in the European Athletics Championships in Helsinki, Finland . This may explain why boys are often seen as being more competitive. However, the researchers say that there can be a great deal of individual variability with some women actually showing greater competitive drive than most male athletes. Many reasons have been suggested to explain why women remain poorly represented in senior positions at large companies. Now, a new study may shed light on workplace dynamics, by claiming that while men enjoy competition in the office, women like to be part of a team. The results suggest than men have a dimmer view of their colleagues\u2019 ability than women and were therefore more keen on competing to be rewarded for their own work, rather than that of a team\u2019s. Researchers from CNRS-GATE in Lyon and the University of California, analysed the behaviour of both sexes when the study participants were asked to choose between being paid on their individual performance or as part of a team. They found that less than 11 per cent of men opted for team payment, in comparison to 44 per cent of women. These individuals tend to be far less common in women's sport, they said. The study could have implications for other areas outside sport, such as in the workplace where greater gender diversity could bring advantages. Professor Robert Deaner, a psychologist at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, said they studied elite runners because it is a sport that is equally popular among men and women and there is no disparity in prize money. He said: 'Of course, we need to be careful not to assume that our running results will generalise to all sports or all domains outside of sports. 'Nevertheless, our findings do echo those from other studies, which show that even when men and women hold the same selective jobs, men are more likely to prioritize competing for recognition and status, while women have more communal orientations.' The researchers, whose study is published in the journal PeerJ, assessed the competitiveness of 1,147 long distance runners competing in the 5,000 metres in the US National Collegiate Athletic Association. They surveyed each runners motivation for participating, their training volume and their desire to compete at an elite level after college.

Australian PM Tony Abbott \u2013 who sends naval gunboats to turn back asylum seekers before they reach Australia \u2013 said the EU should 'urgently' follow his lead. His hardline policy has proved controversial but Mr Abbott said it was the only way to prevent disasters such as the loss of 900 lives when a fishing boat capsized on Saturday night. Hardline: Tony Abbott, whose conservative government introduced a military-led operation to turn back boats carrying asylum-seekers before they reach Australia, said harsh measures are the only way to stop deaths .

'That's why it is so urgent that the countries of Europe adopt very strong policies that will end the people-smuggling trade across the Mediterranean.' Conservative Mr Abbott won power in 2013 on a 'stop the boats' pledge, and not a single one has breached his ring of steel in 18 months. Operation Sovereign Borders involves the Australian Navy intercepting boats filled with migrants at sea, and either turning them back or towing them back to where they came from. Mr Abbott has previously said he was sick of being lectured to by the United Nations over Australia's obligations to refugees, saying his policy was the 'most decent, most compassionate' solution. In the Mediterranean, callous people smugglers have been exploiting a willingness by European nations to rescue migrants rather than send them back. Last year, Italy scaled back its rescue operations because it feared they were only encouraging migrants to gamble with their lives. But the horrific loss of life over the past week in a spate of migrant shipwrecks has prompted calls to urgently reinstate the rescue missions. EU leaders including David Cameron are meeting tomorrow in what charities are calling a 'life or death' summit to solve the problem. Save the Children warned that 2,500 youngsters could die in the Mediterranean this year. Chief executive Justin Forsyth said: 'EU leaders hold the lives of thousands of desperate people in their hands when they meet.

Researchers at the Natural History Museum in London and University College London have found evidence that the human bones found in Gough's Cave in Somerset had the flesh cut from them before being chewed and crushed. They found tooth marks on many of the bones, which were discovered in the cave during excavations between 1880 and 1992. Scroll down for video . This skull found at Gough's Cave in Somerset had been carefully shaped into a bowl around 14,700 years ago . Human skulls found in the cave had also been extenisvely shaped to create cups or bowls. The archaeologists behind the study say the findings suggest people living in the late Ice Age indulged in ritual cannibalism, perhaps as a macabre way to revere their dead kin. Simon Parfitt, an archaeologist from University College London, said: 'A recurring theme of this period is the remarkable rarity of burials and how commonly we find human remains mixed with occupation waste at many sites. There is growing evidence from around Europe that suggests preshistoric humans living at the time engaged in widespread cannibalism and other macabre rituals when dealing with their dead relatives. Stone Age farmers in Italy cut the flesh from the bones of their dead before burying them, a recent study found. Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered cut marks on 7,000 year old human remains buried in a cave in Puglia, south eastern Italy. These cuts and scrapes, made with stone tools, suggest the skeletons had their flesh carefully removed in rituals before being placed in the cave. Archaeologists leading the research believe cleaning of the dead was probably the culmination of a protracted multi-stage burial process. Farmers from villages up to 12 miles away are thought to have brought their dead to the Scaloria Cave in the Tavoliere region of Italy . 'Further analysis along the lines used to study Gough's Cave will help to establish whether the type of ritualistic cannibalism practiced there is a regional phenomenon, or a more widespread practice found throughout the Magdalenian world.' Using modern radiocarbon techniques, researchers found the bones discovered in Gough's Cave were deposited over a very short period of time around 14,700 years ago - perhaps over just a few seasons. The humans who lived at the cave were a group of Cro-Magnon hunter-gatherers known as Magdalenians. It is thought these modern humans spread from southwest Europe and entered Britain from Belgium as the climate began to warm 15,000 years ago. The cave, which lies within Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, is around 295 metre deep. Human remains were first discovered there in the 1880s and in 1903 the remains of Britain's oldest complete human skeleton, known as Cheddar Man, was found there. A carving of a mammoth was also found in the cave along with thousands of flint tools.

Last month, four months after the proton treatment ended, the family said scans showed \u2018no evidence\u2019 of the tumour. But Dr Wilson, a paediatric intensive care consultant, said Ashya should have undergone chemotherapy within six weeks of his original surgery to remove the tumour in Southampton last July, and said it was too early to say he had been cured.

They initially fled to Spain where they were arrested then released after the High Court approved their plan to take Ashya to Prague. The NHS eventually agreed to pay for the proton therapy there.

It was the first time in his career that Ronaldo has scored five goals in a single match and saw him become only the third player to reach the 300-goal mark for Madrid, a tally achieved in only 287 appearances. On Sunday, Benzema said on his club's website: 'Cristiano is a phenomenon, he is always looking for goals and ways to help the team. He deserves everything he has achieved.' Cristiano Ronaldo (centre) scored five goals during Real Madrid's 9-1 La Liga victory against Granada . Benzema also scored twice after Gareth Bale had opening the scoring as Madrid's much-vaunted 'BBC' strikeforce combined to score eight of their side's nine goals, with the other coming from a Diego Mainz own goal. The Frenchman added: 'Him (Ronaldo), Bale and me, we're in good form, like always. We're helping the team and sometimes we score and other times we don't, but we're in good shape to continue like that until the end of the season.' Ronaldo, meanwhile, was quick to highlight the role his team-mates played in his five-goal haul as he inched closer to becoming the club's all-time record scorer. Karim Benzema, who scored twice himself, hailed his Madrid team-mate Ronaldo as a 'phenomenon' Ronaldo performs his trademark celebration as his team-mates watch during the 9-1 rout at the Bernabeu . Raul currently leads the way with 323 goals from 741 appearances while Alfredo di Stefano is second with 308 goals from 396 matches. Ronaldo wrote on Twitter: 'Happy to have scored 5 goals with this excelent team work. Thank you for all your support.' Madrid's performance was a timely one, coming after they had lost three of their previous five matches in La Liga and the Champions League - including a 2-1 loss to bitter rivals Barcelona in their last outing. Sunday's win saw Madrid close the gap to Barca back to one point ahead of the league leaders' clash at Celta Vigo on Sunday evening, and coach Carlo Ancelotti is looking to the future with optimism. Gareth Bale scored for Wales last week and kept up his scoring form with a goal against Granada . He said: 'Everything went to plan. My team are in good physical shape, the players are fresh and we showed that throughout the match. 'We played with a good tempo and scored bags of goals. We come away from this happy but this is just one game and we have other important ones coming up. 'It's simple mathematics. It's better to win nine games 1-0 than one 9-1. But today we have to point out the good play, the team are back to playing as desired, just like they have played many times before. What mattered most was winning and playing well and we have achieved that.' On Ronaldo, the Italian added: 'He has improved just as the team have. So, what can I say...

The review attacked the six-part series as \u2018a work of fiction that adopts a narrow, revisionist and anti-Catholic point of view toward the religious turmoil of the Tudor period in which it\u2019s set\u2019. The latest remarks echo criticisms voiced by clergy in the UK, who tore into the series for its 'perverse' depictions of the historical characters when it first aired. Scroll down for video .

The audience is encouraged to support 'monster' Thomas Cromwell, played by Mark Rylance in the hit series, a damning review by the Catholic News Service in America said after the first episode was aired in the USA . The review also slates the depiction of Catholic martyr Sir Thomas More, played by Anton Lesser in the show as an 'evidence-flouting caricature' that is 'sleazy, mean-spirited and just plain rude' A review for Catholic News Service, an agency of the U.S. Bishops\u2019 Conference said that the show encourages the audience to \u2018root for the self-made commoner Thomas Cromwell\u2019 when in fact he was a \u2018monster\u2019 who engineered a reign of terror and murdered anyone who stood in his way. In contrast, the drama\u2019s depiction of Sir Thomas More, a Catholic martyr, is \u2018not a pretty sight\u2019, said author Joseph McAleer. \u2018The future saint is barely recognisable: sleazy, mean-spirited and just plain rude,\u2019 he writes. \u2018This evidence-flouting caricature is light-years away from the man of principle.\u2019 A Washington Post reviewer warned the distortion of historical facts in Wolf Hall pointed to 'ideological bias' US media were generally looking forward to the historical drama being shows on Masterpiece PBS as a 'great British import', with Homeland star Damian Lewis as King Henry VIII and Claire Foy playing Anne Boleyn . Gregory Wolfe said that the adaptation of Hilary Mantel's book 'could obscure important lessons' The criticism from the U.S. Catholic Church follows that of Mark Davies and Mark O\u2019Toole, the Catholic Bishops of Shrewsbury and Plymouth, who said Wolf Hall was guilty of \u2018anti-Catholic\u2019 depictions of More, played by Anton Lesser, and for its whitewashing of Cromwell, the hero of the drama, played by Mark Rylance. Most U.S. media looked forward, however, to the opening episode of the series, broadcast on Masterpiece PBS last night, as a great British import co-starring Damien Lewis, the anti-hero Brody in the U.S. series Homeland, playing King Henry VIII. One of the few critical reviews of the adaptation of Hilary Mantel\u2019s historical novel appeared in the highly-influential Washington Post, however, which warned viewers that the distortion of the facts pointed to a \u2018clear ideological bias\u2019. \u2018What makes for great drama may not make for good history,\u2019 said the review by Gregory Wolfe. \u2018Mantel\u2019s version could obscure important lessons from that dark period that have continuing relevance for the present moment,\u2019 he added.

The 18-year-old had made just four substitute appearances before facing the Sons at the Dumbarton Stadium, but his double put Rangers in command after they fell behind to Mark Wilson's second-minute opener. The former Celtic full-back's last goal was also against Rangers - he netted the Hoops' winner in a controversial Scottish Cup quarter-final replay at Parkhead in March 2011. Rangers' teenage striker Ryan Hardie scored a brace on his full debut against Dumbarton on Saturday . Hardie's brace comes as Rangers boss Stuart McCall fulfills his promise of fielding more academy players . A touchline bust-up between then Celtic boss Neil Lennon and Gers assistant Ally McCoist sparked a summit on sectarianism but there was no further drama this time as Haris Vuckic fired home a spectacular third and Rangers eased to victory. McCall promised his students from the Murray Park youth ranks they would be given their chance to impress when he took over last month. And he stayed good to his word as Hardie - who has notched more than 30 times for the club's under-20s side - and winger Tom Walsh came in to replace Kenny Miller and Dean Shiels following Wednesday's 1-1 slip-up at Livingston. But Nicky Clark's horror miss after less than a minute was not the start the Ibrox boss was looking for, especially when Wilson showed the Gers striker how it should have been done 60 seconds later. Darren McGregor should have cleared Mark Gilhaney's cross but got caught underneath the ball and could only head it straight to the ex-Hoops defender. The 30-year-old averages just a goal a season but showed no hesitancy as he flashed a left-footed strike past Cammy Bell to give the Sons a shock lead. Lee McCulloch thought he had the visitors level, only for home keeper Danny Rogers to produce a stunning reaction stop to keep out the skipper's volley. But Hardie did find the net after 10 minutes as he capped his full debut with a dream goal. Sons defender Andy Graham could not live with the teenager's pace as he latched on to Vuckic's through ball and raced in on goal. Rogers got a hand to the youngster's low shot but Hardie stayed alert and followed in to force the ball over the line before Stuart Findlay could block. Rogers did better with McGregor's powerful strike, but Rangers suffered another scare when Dylan Easton danced past McCulloch before lashing just wide of Bell's goal. Tom Walsh and Nicky Law fired over as McCall's team looked for the lead, but there was no breakthrough by the interval.

+{"article": "Jameela spent \u00a33,000 on having all her amalgam fillings removed and replaced with white fillings . Jameela Jamil has the dazzling smile that you'd expect of a television presenter and former model. Yet the 29-year-old broadcaster is convinced her teeth - or rather, the dental work done on them - triggered a host of health problems that plagued her for nearly seven years. 'From the age of 21, I would wake up in the morning with a puffy, swollen face feeling utterly hungover - even though I don't drink,' says Jameela, who has presented the Radio 1 Chart Show and programmes for Channel 4. 'My head felt heavy and I was permanently exhausted. Occasionally, I would even faint. There were days when I'd arrive at work and the make-up artists would send me home because I just looked awful and felt terrible.' After several months of this, she went to a private doctor who referred her for tests. Jameela thought she might have a serious disease such as lupus, an auto-immune condition which can cause inflammation and swelling in the joints and other parts of the body. In fact, the tests suggested she had high levels of mercury. After other potential causes such as diet were ruled out, it was suggested the problem was down to the ten amalgam fillings she'd had as a child. So she spent \u00a33,000 on having them all removed and replaced with white fillings. Dental amalgam has been used for more than 150 years, and every year 12 million fillings made from it are given to patients in Britain. Amalgam remains a standard material to use, especially on back teeth because it is particularly robust. It is made from a mixture of metals including silver, tin and copper. Liquid mercury is used to help mix these components together. Breathing in extremely high concentrations of mercury can trigger bronchitis and pneumonia and affect the central nervous system, causing muscle tremors. Long-term exposure to high levels can affect kidneys. But mercury poisoning is very rare, suggests Dr Prem Mahendra, a consultant haematologist at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. 'In 27 years as a haematologist I have never been asked to test for mercury,' he says. Dentists agree that when fillings are being put in or removed, the mercury can release vapour. This is absorbed into the bloodstream in the lungs and then taken to the kidneys to be passed out harmlessly in the urine. Blood tests showed she had high mercury levels. With nothing else to account for these raised levels, her fillings were pinpointed as the cause . But the amounts taken in from fillings is 'minuscule', says Salford dentist Dr Ben Atkins. Indeed, a review by the EU Commission's Scientific Committee in 2008 concluded there was no risk from amalgam, says Professor Damien Walmsley, the British Dental Association's scientific adviser. Amalgam is 'strong, durable and adaptable' and there is 'no evidence to suggest these fillings are anything other than safe to use', adds StJohn Crean, professor of medicine in dentistry and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at", "summary": "Jameela Jamil, 29, is convinced dental work triggered health problems .

+{"article": "A plane seat specifically targeted at making plane travel more comfortable for obese passengers and small children has won a prize for its innovation vision this week. The adapted chair by SII Deutschland, beat off competition from 21 finalists to win the Passenger Comfort Hardware award at The Crystal Cabin Awards in Hamburg, Germany. Sitting at one-and-a-half times the width of a standard seat, the SANTO seat (Special Accommodation Needs for Toddlers and Overweight Passengers) aims to improve aircrew procedure and passenger safety. Passenger Comfort Hardware winner: The SANTO seat by SII Deutschland is larger than usual seats, and makes use of space at the back of aircraft where the fuselage narrows . The adapted seat would make use of the usually wasted space at the back of aircraft, where the fuselage narrows. It would be a larger version of the aircraft chairs, meaning a wider passenger could comfortably and safety fit in the chair, without disrupting the neighbouring customer. As the SANTO seat has an extra half a seat width, a baby seat could be fitted securely into the chair, with enough space for a regular customer to sit alongside without paying for an extra seat. The designs were judged by a team of 24 experts, including panel chairwoman Melissa Raudebaugh, General Manager of Aircraft Experience at Delta Air Lines. 'Selecting the Crystal Cabin Award winners was a tough decision this year, as all finalists were of very high quality - ranging from renowned manufacturers to inspiring university concepts, which we will hopefully see flying soon', said Raudebaugh, as reported by PR Newswire. The seat won the prize as part of the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, and addresses the issue of the safety for obese passengers . Not only being space effective, the larger chair aims to address the on-going debate about whether to charge obese passengers for two seats. Some American airlines have adopted this principle if customers are unable to buckle their seatbelt without the use of a seatbelt extender. In 2011 a male passenger claims he was forced to stand for seven hours in the aisle of a plane on his US Airways flight, from Anchorage to Philadelphia, as a 400lb man took up a lot of his seat. Another solution was put forward by Samoa Air in 2013 charging customers depending on their weight, in a bid to reduce fuel costs.

It is the leading trade fair for aircraft cabin designers and presents novelties in design, entertainment and connectivity . The Crystal Cabin Awards were awarded as part of Aircraft Interiors Expo which aims to showcase world's most advanced and creative ideas for the aircraft cabin. The SANTO was not the only seat design aiming to solve the issue of comfort when it comes to overweight passengers. Expliseat also displayed wider seating designs to accommodate larger passnegers.

Were a record company to write a job description for the next big thing in popular music, certain attributes would surely be high on the list. Foremost among them, one suspects, would be a decent singing voice, the ability to dance and that elusive brand of charisma which draws crowds of infatuated fans. None of which Calvin Harris possesses. Not that he will be the slightest bit concerned about it. Because he has plenty of reasons for self-confidence. Seventy million of them, in fact. That is the fortune the 31-year-old pop leviathan has amassed since bursting onto the scene eight years ago. No mean feat for an introspective and, by his own admission, curmudgeonly son of a biochemist from the Scottish Borders who less than a decade ago was stacking supermarket shelves to make ends meet. To put it into perspective, his \u00a370 million nest egg eclipses the fortunes of household names such as Kylie Minogue and Sir Cliff Richard. Yet walk into your local pub and it\u2019s a fair bet many people, unless they follow the charts, will never have heard of him. So how has a pasty-faced, gangly geek (he\u2019s 6ft 5in), who decided early in his career to eschew personal publicity altogether, turned into the biggest pop star in Britain? The numbers don\u2019t lie. His earning power is nothing short of breathtaking. Last year alone he earned \u00a345 million. For one night\u2019s work DJ-ing at a party in Puerto Rico, he was reportedly paid $1million. The year before he grossed \u00a330 million, making him comfortably the best paid DJ on the planet, and in the same year his credibility was bolstered by an Ivor Novello award for songwriter of the year. All of this has led to him being named the 21st most powerful celebrity on Forbes magazine\u2019s Celebrity 100, beating the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Simon Cowell and even J.K. Rowling.

Fans of The X Factor might remember the occasion, in 2009, when the Scot invaded the show\u2019s stage during a performance by the lovably hopeless Irish twins, Jedward.

The celebrity doctor used Thursday's episode of The Dr. Oz Show to hit back and claim that the criticism he's received is part of a conspiracy because of his outspoken views on genetically modified food . The 54-year-old found himself at the center of a firestorm last week when the doctors sent a letter to the university where Oz serves as vice chairman and professor of surgery at College of Physicians. The doctors accused him of being a 'charlatan' who promotes 'quack treatments' and as someone who 'has repeatedly shown disdain for science and for evidence-based medicine, as well as baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops'. 'It's ironic that I am being accused of a conflict of interest by these doctors, when, as you are about to see, some of them have their own conflict of interest issues - and some integrity ones also,' he said on Thursday's show. A report followed revealing how some of the 10 doctors 'have big ties to big industry.' Four who signed the letter, including leader author Henry Miller, have at some point been associated with the American Council on Science and Health. The organization has previously received grants from Monsanto, who manufactures GMO seeds. 'They are rent-a-scientists,' said Gary Ruskin, cofounder and the executive director of US Right to Know, of Oz's critics. Thursday's Dr. Oz Show featured a report revealing how some of the 10 doctors 'have big ties to big industry' 'What Henry Miller does is he speaks on behalf of big corporations and he tells big lies on their behalf,' said Ruskin. During the almost half an hour defense of his reputation, Oz also denied having it in for genetically modified foods. 'That is not true. I have never judged GMO foods. But just like 64 countries around the world, I support GMO labeling so you can decide on the foods for your family.' Another Oz alley, Joel Fuhrman, said the doctors weren't 'representative of the medical profession.' 'It's ugly,' he told Oz. 'Number one, they're not representative of the medical profession. Number two, it is not an attack just against you. It is an attack against all physicians, all health care professionals, all people who maybe don't take a standard party line.'

It represents double the rate for a neurologist and was revealed following a Freedom of Information request. It also emerged there were 47 agency nurses working at the trust in December last year. The trust, which runs the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, has been criticised for wasting taxpayers' money. The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust paid \u00a32,200 to a temporary nurse for one 12-hour shift to help amid a shortage of trained nurses, a Freedom of Information request revealed (file picture) Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: 'Taxpayers will be aghast at the cost of just one shift. 'Agency nurses are far more expensive than their regular counterparts and we have to minimise the number used. 'You can't open a newspaper without hearing how tight finances are in the NHS, but the service has to become far more efficient with the money it already has.'

Let me reassure you, I know that when it comes to immigration, fears and worries remain. They were set out on the front page of this newspaper yesterday. And I want to set out exactly the choice before you on May 7. I am not one of those politicians who says they \u2018get\u2019 how people feel about immigration then speaks differently in private. Sitting in the House of Commons from 2001, I had a ringside seat on Labour\u2019s complete failure on immigration \u2013 and it was infuriating. Fake colleges, bogus visas, wide open loopholes, the wrong welfare incentives, sham marriages, an abject failure to deport foreign criminals, migrants bringing family members to Britain even if they couldn\u2019t speak a word of English \u2013 a litany of failure. Underpinning it all was contempt for the views of most British people. We all remember Peter Mandelson\u2019s boast that Labour was practically \u2018sending out search parties\u2019 for migrants. The mess took 13 years to create \u2013 and over the past five years we have been working to turn this around. Economic migration from outside the EU has been capped at 20,700 skilled professionals a year. We have closed down over 850 of those bogus colleges that were basically visa factories. There are new charges for migrants using the NHS; there is no social housing unless you\u2019ve been in an area for two years; and there is no housing benefit full-stop for EU jobseekers. Critically, we now have proper exit checks at our borders so we know who is coming in and going out. On top of all this direct action to control immigration, we recognised that the rising immigration numbers weren\u2019t just about lax borders and a system easily abused; it was about British people not being trained to get into the jobs that were becoming available \u2013 or not incentivised to work at all, because of Labour\u2019s welfare system. So we have had a huge, unprecedented push on welfare and training, with two million young people starting apprenticeships, and vast numbers getting off welfare and into work. The result of all this? Consider these remarkable two facts. Under Labour, for years, 90 per cent of job growth was taken up by foreign workers. With the Conservatives, two-thirds of our job growth now benefits British citizens. That is a remarkable turnaround. I\u2019m not saying there isn\u2019t a lot more to do. It\u2019s clear that, as our economy has taken off, the bigger issue has become migration from within Europe. And while we have not yet reduced net migration down to the tens of thousands each year, it remains the right ambition. So why have many more EU migrants come here? Partly it\u2019s our extraordinary economic success, with Britain creating more jobs than 27 other European countries combined. But large numbers have also been drawn here because of incentives in things like tax credits and welfare. These have been a powerful draw to EU workers.

But now astronomers believe the bright light in the sky that triggered the conversion of Paul the Apostle may have actually been a falling meteor 2,000 years ago. They say descriptions of Paul's experience - in which he was blinded for three days after seeing a bright light - match accounts of the fireball that streaked across the sky above Chelyabinsk in Russia in 2013. Scroll down for video . Paul converted to Christianity after experiencing a bright light and a divine voice while he traveled on a road towards Damascus in Syria, as depicted in this painting by Michelangelo, but it may have been a meteor . Dr William Hartmann, co-founder of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, examined three accounts of Paul's conversion in the Bible. Writing in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science, he said: 'The first-century book, Acts of the Apostles, gives three separate descriptions of a bright light \"from heaven\", which occurred probably in the 30s (C.E.) near Damascus, Syria. A meteor that blazed across southern Urals in February was the largest recorded meteor strike in more than a century. More than 1,600 people were injured by the shock wave from the explosion, estimated to be as strong as 20 Hiroshima atomic bombs, as it landed near the city of Chelyabinsk. The fireball measuring 18 meters across, screamed into Earth's atmosphere at 41,600 mph. Much of the meteor landed in a local lake called Chebarkul. Scientists have already uncovered more than 12 pieces from Lake Chebarkul since the February 15 incident. However, only five of them turned out being real meteorites. The Chelyabinsk asteroid caused the second most powerful explosion in recorded history. The first was in 1908 when a suspected asteroid exploded with a force about 1,000 times more powerful than Hiroshima, levelling about 80m trees over 772 sq miles (2,000 sq km) near Russia's Podkamennaya Tunguska river in Siberia. It is thought the Chelyabinsk meteor may have formed after breaking off a 656 feet wide asteroid called 2011 EO. Researchers have also found that it may have collided with another asteroid around 290 million years ago. 'The details offer a strikingly good match to a Chelyabinsk-class or Tunguska-class fireball.' In the accounts given in the Bible, Paul had been one of the zealous persecutors of the followers of Jesus. However, during a journey to Damascus, Syria, he and his companions saw a bright light in the sky. Paul was blinded for three days and he heard a divine voice or sound. The experience apparently so affected Paul that he converted to Christianity and undertook several influential missions to spread the word of Christ around the Mediterranean.

The Frenchwoman also used her classes to defend Adolf Hitler's domestic record, and his plans for overseas expansion. 'He was a good man who built motorways and liked music,' she is alleged to have said, before being suspended from the Auguste Remoir college in Limoges, west-central France. The German language teacher suggested that tanks (pictured is a panzer during the Second World War) should be used to invade France again to subdue unruly pupils . Hundreds of German tanks rolled into the country in May 1940 as their Blitzkrieg led to France becoming part of the Third Reich. Yet, according to complaining parents who passed on the comment to other teachers, the woman said she hoped 'German tanks come to Renoir to subdue unruly pupils'. Seventeen of the 20 pupils in her class signed a petition against the teacher, and it was quickly acted on by the authorities. Parent teacher association president, Maurice Sourdioux, said: 'In my experience, this kind of procedure is extremely rare in national education. I have never seen it anywhere else.' She has since been suspended from the Auguste Remoir college in Limoges, west-central France (pictured) The teacher, who has been at the school since September, has denied any wrong doing, saying she was 'very shocked by the extent of the case'. References to the Second World War are particularly sensitive in France, where a collaborationist government worked with the Nazis. State institutions including the SNCF railway company and police in major cities such as Paris assisted in the Holocaust too. Despite this, there are regular cases of far right sympathisers expressing support for the kind of racism and anti-Semitism championed by the Nazis. Last month, a music teacher in Berlin was questioned by police after forcing pupils to march up and down singing a Nazi song. Germany had been forbidden from producing and using tanks because of the Treaty of Versailles. But under a secret program code named the 'Traktor', they began developing armored military vehicles and artillery. The early tanks which were mostly used for training were then tested in the Soviet Union. The early German panzer force's success was mainly down to tactical innovation rather than the quality of the vehicles. But many of their later tanks outclassed Allied armor, delivering more casualties than they took in most engagements during the Second World War. A parade of German tanks crossed the desert plans of Libya in the Second World War in May 1941 . Production of the first tank, the Panzer I, began in 1932 and mass production began in 1934. It had been intended only as a training tank to introduce the army to armored warfare but the Panzer I saw combat in Poland, France, the Soviet Union and North Africa during the Second World War. The army went onto to produce the Panzer II to fill the gap after the construction of medium tanks, Panzer III and IV, fell behind", "summary": "Teacher suggested German tanks should invade France to subdue pupils .

Australian historian Dr Jim Penman claims Britons today have lost the drive for innovation that epitomised the Victorian era as we enjoy a more comfortable standard of living. He has drawn parallels between modern-day Britain and 100BC in Rome - when the city was at its most powerful as it captured more land overseas and greater wealth poured into the centre. Historian Dr Jim Penman has drawn a parallel between the Roman Empire in 100BC - when Julius Caesar, pictured, was ruler - and Britan today, warning this country is heading for a similar collapse in society . Dr Jim Penman (left) has suggested Britons have lost the biological drive for innovation that helped huge social, economic and industrial changes during the Victorian era, ruled over by Queen Victoria (right) However over subsequent centuries there was a rise in social divisions, inequality and political tensions - which resulted in its demise. Making the comparison Dr Penman said: 'It was a time when democracy was moving towards despotism and in Britain we are now see that politics is becoming much more about individuals rather than political parties. The two-party system has started to break down',The Sunday Telegraph reports. 'We live in a golden age where there have been no major wars in Europe for three quarters of a century. But the economy is stagnating and we're having fewer children. 'And once European countries can no longer defend themselves, the end of national independence cannot be long delayed.' Dr Penman, of the RMIT University in Melbourne, made the claims in his book 'Biohistory: Decline and Fall of the West', and adds that Christianity helped drive social change in Britain which transformed the roles of women and children . Civilisations move in 'cycles' dependent on factors such as food supply, religion and conflict, while epigenetics - a field of study within DNA - explains how people's attitudes and temperament change over time and thus shape society, he argues. 'The First World War had an epigenetic effect in that mothers made anxious by the war gave birth to an unusually aggressive generation which was the main cause of the Second World War', he writes. 'But now we are becoming a lot less warlike and much more reluctant to fight. People no longer want to join the Army, or become engineers. People would rather do arts degrees.'", "summary": "Dr Penman argues British people have lived too peacefully to innovate .

This when the back of the head becomes flattened, causing the head to widen and the front of the skull to bulge out. Doctors believe it is caused by babies sleeping on their back, and as it is not medically dangerous, the NHS does not pay for treatment. Instead, parents are advised to move their children on to their stomachs during the day. Scroll down for video . Kate Thomas raise \u00a32,000 in just one day to pay for a special helmet for her son Miles, who was born with flat head syndrome . Flat head syndrome is where the back of the head becomes flattened, causing the head to widen and the front of the skull to bulge out. It is thought to be caused by babies sleeping on their back . But after doing some research Mrs Thomas was shocked to discover the condition can lead to facial disfigurement and even blindness. The mother-of-two visited a private clinic and was told Miles, now eight months, needed cranium orthosis treatment, known as 'helmet treatment', that costs around \u00a32000. She set up a GoFundMe account and wrote a Facebook status describing Miles' situation and in just 24 hours she had raised the money that she needed. The call centre advisor, of Sunderland, said: 'We noticed his head was a slightly different shape when he was born. 'I had twins and his head looked a lot different to his sister Aoife's. 'When he was three months it became a lot more visible and we took him to the doctors. 'They had a feel of his head and felt mine and my husband's and realised it was not hereditary.' Miles was referred to Sunderland Hospital in January 2015, where doctors carried out X-rays to rule out craniosynostosis, a more serious head condition that can cause headaches, learning difficulties and eye problems. They found he did not have this condition and diagnosed flat head syndrome. As it is a cosmetic, rather than medical problem, the NHS said it would not pay for treatment. Doctors say if parents move their babies onto their tummies during the day, as well as changing them from different chairs, so there isn't constant pressure on the back of the head, the condition should improve within eight weeks. Babies sometimes develop a flattened head when they're a few months old, usually from sleeping on their back. It's known as 'flat head syndrome' or 'moulding'. Sometimes the head can be flattened on one side (known as plagiocephaly) or the back of the head becomes flattened, causing the head to widen and the skull to bulge out (known as bracycephaly). The head can be flattened in the womb, and the condition is more common in babies born", "summary": "At three months old Miles Roberts was diagnosed with flat head syndrome .

Australian author and CEO of the Australian College of Environmental Studies Nicole Bijlsma said the chemicals in these products are easily absorbed through ingestion and skin . 'Based on the amount of products that have been recalled over the years and studies which have found the levels of industrial chemicals are rising in younger generations, there's definitely a history to indicate that they [products at discount stores] could contain chemicals that cause adverse health affect,' Ms Bijlsma said. 'It depends on the type of chemical, but a lot of these things are absorbed through ingestion and dermal exposure. Kids have a very high hand to mouth ratio and are putting things in their mouth all the time.' A set of children's necklaces examined by the study were found to have high levels of bromine, chlorine and lead. Bromine is known to permanently affect developing brains and present reproduction problems in those exposed to it, while studies have found that chlorine causes cancer as well as thyroid and kidney disease. Meanwhile, scientists have found that even the smallest amount of lead can affect a child's ability to learn.

The splatters of blood on the checklist for the very first US spacewalk were from an astronaut as he frantically battled to close the hatch door of the spacecraft after a historic venture. But the Gemini 4 mission of June 1965 ultimately proved successfully, and paved the way to astronauts walking on the moon for the first time four years later. A complete 13-page checklist, including a bloodstained document seen at the front), from the Gemini 4 mission in June 1965 is tipped to sell for a huge \u00a380,000 ($120,000). The list shows the various steps the astronauts had to go through when opening and closing the hatch to space . Gemini 4 launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on 3 June 1965 with two astronauts on board. One, Ed White, was tasked with performing the first US spacewalk, less than three months after Soviet Alexey Leonov had completed the first spacewalk in history. The two astronauts on the Gemini 4 mission were Jim McDivitt and Ed White. The Gemini programme of the 1960s was designed to develop and test capabilities that would ultimately land humans on the moon in the Apollo missions. The first crewed Gemini flight, Gemini 3, lifted off Launch Pad 19 at Cape Canaveral in Florida on March 23, 1965. Nasa's two-man Gemini spaceflights demonstrated that astronauts could change their capsule's orbit, remain in space for at least two weeks and work outside their spacecraft. They also pioneered rendezvous and docking with other spacecraft. All were essential skills to land on the moon and return safely to Earth. They orbited Earth 66 times over four days and, on the first day, Ed White donned a spacesuit and drifted out of the cramped capsule. He spent 20 minutes in space on the spacewalk, or extravehicular activity (EVA), before having to come back in, which he said was 'the saddest moment of my life'. But the hatch to get out had proved difficult to open and it was equally difficult to close when White was back inside. It's thought one of them cut their hand or finger on the hatch locking mechanism and their blood ended up on the checklist after they removed their gloves while safely inside. Had the pair not been able to lock the hatch after themselves, they wouldn't have been able to re-enter Earth's atmosphere and would have been lost in space. And had that worse case scenario happened, it could easily have scuppered the Apollo missions that followed including the first of the moon landings four years later in 1969.

Steven Davis (pictured against Hull earlier this month) says Southampton have an advantage over Spurs . Davis' assertions come as Mauricio Pochettino heads to Southampton for the first time since leaving . Despite that, just a point and a place separate Saints and Spurs as a remarkable season comes to a close, with a positive result for the hosts on Saturday enough to break the points record set last term. Victory would see Ronald Koeman's men usurp Spurs in the standings and bolster their European chances, with Davis, one of many to have worked under Pochettino, well aware of what a 'big game' this is for all connected to the club. 'The players never back away from (the fact this is a big game),' the Northern Ireland captain said. 'It's nice to be in a position where we're having big games at this stage of the season and there's an importance on it. 'We're looking forward to the game and hopefully we can bounce back and get the three points. 'It is great to be in a position where we're still challenging for a European spot at this stage. 'We've had a great season so far but we don't want it to peter out, really. 'It's about seeing it through and Saturday gives us an opportunity to pick up points against one of our nearest rivals.' James Ward-Prowse celebrates after scoring for Southampton against Hull City . Tottenham are the only current Premier League side Southampton have failed to beat since their Premier League return in 2012 - a run Davis believes the players' knowledge of Pochettino's methods can help them end. 'Obviously we know how Mauricio works and how he sets up his teams,' he told Southampton's official YouTube channel. 'Hopefully that will be an advantage to us in terms of the players as we know a bit of background . 'Obviously it will be nice to see him as enjoyed some good times under him here, but we're confident going into the game and looking to take the three points. 'The fans will hopefully get behind us as they always do. There will be an edge to the game with a returning manager, so it's a game for everyone to look forward to.'", "summary": "Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham travel to St Mary's on Saturday .

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is a transfer target for Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City . Bale could be sold by Real Madrid as they pursue a deal for Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus . The complex politics at Madrid mean that Bale could be traded to help finance the inevitable signing of at least one platinum player during the summer and work within the parameters of Financial Fair Play. Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus is one star being lined up, and Madrid may feel they need to find space for Isco in their first team, the player having recently expressed his frustration at being sidelined for much of the season.

Under the terms of his previous contract Reus had a buy-out clause of \u00a320m.

But City and United will be in the mix too as they both seek to bolster their attacking power. Ultimately it will come down to which club tables the best deal should Real open the door.

+{"article": "A gel made from patients' own blood could help heal burns more quickly - and stop wounds getting worse. The gel contains platelet-rich plasma (PRP) - a concentrated mix of substances in the blood that play a role in healing. It is made by taking a small amount of blood from a patient's arm (amounts vary depending on wound size, but typically no more than a couple of tablespoons) and then processing it in a machine that spins the blood at high speed until it separates into its various components. Blood is largely made up of a clear yellowish liquid, called plasma, but it also contains small, solid compounds - red cells, white cells and platelets. The platelets are important for clotting, but they also contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors that are important for healing. U.S. researchers are testing the new gel it as a dressing for burns . Spinning the blood leaves behind the plasma and the platelets but in higher concentration - up to ten times greater than usual. Platelet-rich plasma is sometimes used to treat tendon injuries and is also used in some cosmetic procedures that claim injecting it into the face can rejuvenate skin - nicknamed the 'vampire facelift'. U.S. researchers are testing it as a dressing for burns. As well as boosting healing, it is thought the gel, known as Magellan Bio-Bandage, will act as a barrier against infection. The researchers also hope using platelet-rich plasma will address a common problem with burns, which is that they often continue to get worse hours or even days after the original injury. This can mean a burn that had initially caused damage to the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) and the underlying tissue containing the hair follicles and sweat glands and smaller blood vessels (dermis) can become a 'full-thickness' burn. Platelet-rich plasma is sometimes used to treat tendon injuries and for cosmetic procedures . This is where there is damage to the third and final layer of skin - the subcutis, which contains larger blood vessels and nerves, and regulates the temperature of the skin and body. Full-thickness burns usually require extensive treatment, including skin grafts. It's hoped the platelet-rich plasma will allow the wound to start to heal before it can deteriorate. The U.S. trial uses a new blood-spinning machine that is designed to be used at a patient's bedside, collecting it in a syringe ready for immediate use as a gel. Previous research suggests that the high concentration of growth factors in the platelet-rich plasma helps stimulate growth of new blood vessels and skin tissue. It's also suggested that it reduces pain, though it's not clear why. For the latest study, at the University of Utah and other burns centres, about 40 patients will have up to 18ml of the platelet-rich plasma (about three teaspoons) applied on to a partial-thickness burn within 72 hours of the initial injury.

England finished on 116-3 to lead by 220 runs at the end of the third day in Antigua with seven second-innings wickets standing. But the hosts are jubilant that struggling Cook has twice fallen cheaply to the plan of bowling at him full and swinging around off stump. Alastair Cook failed with the bat once again on day three of the first Test in Antigua . Captain Cook also fell cheaply as he was out for 13 after edging a Taylor delivery into the slips .

'It's their own issue but we'll stick with them. They're fine players.' Tredwell admits England's decision to fly Moeen Ali to Grenada for the second Test spurred him towards his four-wicket haul.

Some of the Asian Elephants will live out their post-performance lives in the center, while other will be used for breeding. Scroll down for video . All elephants will be phased out of the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus performance by 2018 . Once they retire from performing, elephants will be taken to the Ringling Brothers Elephant Conservation Center in an undisclosed, 200-acre area of Polk County in central Florida . Ringling spokeswoman Melinda Hartline told FOX Tampa Bay that the center is 'all about preserving the Asian Elephant'. Elephants born in the center can be sold to zoos or other breeding programs. This will hopefully increase genetic diversity in the species and increase its population. The population of animal has decreased to between 25,000 and 32,000 from it's 100,000 population over the last century. Poaching and habitat destruction are among the reasons for the decline. Twenty people work at the center to feed, care for and manage the animals, and over the next three years Ringling will determine if more staff or additional facilities are needed. Despite having what seems to be ideal living conditions, Ringling ties some elephants by the leg overnight, something animal rights groups, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are disappointed by. Some elephants will live out the rest of their lives in the conservation center, while others will be use for breeding . A spokesman for the center said that the organization's goal is to conserve the Asian Elephant, an animal who has seen massive population decline over the last century . Much of the population decline - which has gone down from 100,000 to between 25,000 and 32,000 - has been caused by poaching and habitat destruction . 'Zoos don't chain elephants and the American Veterinary Medical Association advises against it' Delciana Windners, PETA general counsel, told FOX. The animal-rights organizations also urge the company to take the animals off the road sooner. Just days before announcing that the elephants would be taken out of the ring, PETA prevailed in an open-records request and obtained documents proving that, at least since 2010, Ringling has had elephants test positive for the human strain of tuberculosis. TB is highly transmissible from elephants to humans, even without direct contact. A statement from PETA frames Ringling\u2019s announcement as a preemptive move to keep the public in the dark about the health risk posed by moving sick elephants to cities throughout the country.

Fl Lt Beaumont was one of just seven of the 24 pilots in his squadron who survived the 1940 Second World War battle and believed his beloved teddy bear brought him luck. He was known as one of 'The Few', which comes from Winston Churchill's famous phrase: 'Never, in the field of human conflict, was so much owed by so many to so few.'

'Of the 3,000 airmen who served in this period, over one sixth were killed in combat. 'Teddy bears became popular mascots and helped to bolster the resolve of men engaged in a conflict where survival seemed a matter of luck as much as of skill.

'He flew numerous sorties with the bear in his cockpit. 'Flight Lieutenant Beaumont survived the war and died at the age of 87.

The CYG-11 seaplane (above) uses reduced drag and increased lift from wing-in-ground effect to glide . The vehicles takes advantage of an aerodynamic phenomenon known as the wing-in-ground effect - where lift is increased and drag decreased when an aircraft's wings are close to the ground.

The TV host will appear as a guest presenter on satirical panel show Have I Got News For You later this month. It is believed he was booked to appear on the comedy programme before he was dropped from Top Gear after a 'fracas' with producer Oisin Tymon, one of the show's producers, over a steak dinner. Scroll down for video . Jeremy Clarkson hosting a previous edition of Have I Got News For You. He is set to appear on the BBC show on April 25, just one month after being sacked from Top Gear . Clarkson was dropped from the motoring show by the BBC on March 25, but will be the guest presenter on Have I Got News For You on April 25, with filming taking place the day before. It is understood that bosses at the corporation took weeks to consider if he should be allowed to host the show before deciding saying although his Top Gear contract was not renewed, he isn't banned from appearing on the BBC. Clarkson is one of the quiz show's most frequent guest hosts, having fronted it on 11 occasions and also appearing as a panellist once alongside quiz captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Last month, Jimmy Mulville from production company Hat Trick, which makes Have I Got News For You, confirmed that the former Top Gear host would appear on the show, calling him a 'fantastic broadcaster'. Clarkson was sacked from Top Gear after punching producer Oisin Tymon, pictured, after a row over a steak dinner . He told a meeting of the Broadcasting Press Guild: 'As far as I'm concerned he is hosting Have I Got News For You, the BBC has not told me what to do yet and it will be an interesting conversation. He also joked: 'Maybe we will get the producer on so he can hit Jeremy Clarkson live on television.' The show will also mark the first time that Clarkson has appeared on the BBC since the last edition of Top Gear was screened on March 8. Yesterday, it was revealed that the 54-year-old would not face prosecution over the attack, which led to his sacking from the show. Police had opened an investigation into the incident, which took place at a hotel in Hawes, North Yorkshire last month after Clarkson had been filming Top Gear in the area. However, after the victim Mr Tymon said that he did not want to press charges, North Yorkshire Police has now decided to drop the probe without taking action against Clarkson. The incident, described as a 'fracas' by BBC officials, occurred when Clarkson discovered that the hotel where he was staying could not serve him a hot meal following a day's filming. An official report found that the 54-year-old presenter punched Mr Tymon in the mouth before being dragged away by a witness, causing the producer to go to A&E for emergency treatment.", "summary": "Presenter will be a guest host satirical quiz show Have I Got News For You .

+{"article": "Manchester City wanted Isco when he left Malaga two years ago but he chose Real Madrid over Manuel Pellegrini. It was a tough decision coming after his admission that the coach he had worked with on the Costa del Sol was like a footballing father to him. Judging from comments made after Real\u2019s midweek win over Atletico Madrid, he still harbours some regrets over that decision to not follow the manager who really gave him his big chance. Pellegrini allowed him to star in the Champions League campaign that took Malaga all the way to the quarter-finals, where they felt only refereeing incompetence prevented them reaching the semis. \u2018I am not very content, I thought I was playing well,\u2019 was his message to Spanish television on Wednesday night after the win over Atletico. It was strange sentiment to convey with so much positivity around the club after their safe passage to the semi-finals. Spanish midfielder Isco is unhappy with his current role and playing time at Real Madrid . Isco rarely starts for Real Madrid when all of Carlo Ancelotti's main options are fit . He later tweeted: 'If we all stick together we will go further.' The show of solidarity was an attempt to gloss over the gut reaction after the match that revealed his sense of injustice at always being the player who sits out when everyone else is fit. Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s first choice front three is Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema and his preferred midfield is Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and James Rodriguez. Isco is the seventh man in that front six. And if Ancelotti persists with Sergio Ramos in midfield in Modric\u2019s absence, Isco could even sit back on the bench when Bale returns. If Pellegrini stays at City and Isco remains unhappy about how he only fits in at Real Madrid when there are injuries, the Premier League could appear on his horizon again. Isco joined Real Madrid from another La Liga side Malaga in the summer of 2013 . The 23-year-old had a choice of Real Madrid or Manchester City, and chose the Spanish giants . It would be too much to ask him to fill Yaya Toure\u2019s boots. Toure's great strength is the way that huge stride of his takes him up and down the pitch so quickly. Isco is more Smart Car than juggernaut and he tends to scurry more than maraud. He would have to play as City's No 10, he wouldn't be able to drop back into the middle two as Toure can. But at just 23 years of age, he also happens to be the player Vicente del Bosque intends to build his new Spain team around. He\u2019s also the player the Real Madrid supporters adore perhaps more than any other, and he would be on the same wavelength as David Silva, who needs a like-minded player in a City team that has put brawn over brains with recent midfield signings. Isco is one of Spain's new generation and Vicente del Bosque is looking to build the team around", "summary": "Isco unhappy with his role at Real Madrid .

+{"article": "Two goals within ninety seconds of each other was enough to spark an outbreak of fear and loathing rarely seen on this side of the Mersey. After more than two years of inexorable decline the patience of Tranmere's faithful finally snapped when Oxford moved decisively ahead, in an effortless manner reminiscent of the previous Saturday's Boat Race. The loathing was directed mainly at manager Micky Adams, who was announced on Sunday morning to have left the club by 'mutual consent'. The Tranmere players look down after the final whistle, as the prospect of relegation looms large . This is how it ends in football sometimes: standing in the dugout having a season ticket thrown in your face by an incandescent supporter, who you then see given a standing ovation by some sections upon being escorted out. The fear involves dropping out of the Football League a week on Saturday after 94 years of membership, something which provoked an angry demonstration by some 150 supporters outside the gates afterwards. Adams departs with two games to go and after a 3-0 defeat against a thoroughly professional Oxford side the Wirral's only professional sports outfit are one point behind Cheltenham and two behind Hartlepool. Bitter ironies abound. Relegation to the National League \u2013 the grand-sounding new title for the Conference but don't be fooled \u2013 may partly be down to Prenton Park legend and ex-manager Ronnie Moore, sacked by the club last season for a minor betting offence, and now masterminding Hartlepool's unlikely survival. And it could all happen under the ownership of former FA Chief Executive Mark Palios, knowledgeable football man and esteemed former Tranmere player who took over the club late last summer. Kemar Roofe celebrates scoring, as a professional Oxford side eased past sorry Tranmere . The battle between Barnet and Bristol Rovers to win automatic promotion to the Football League will go down to the last game. Barnet, who lead the Conference by one point, have a home game against mid-table Gateshead on Saturday while Rovers face a potentially more difficult match at home against fourth from bottom Alfreton, who almost certainly need to win themselves to avoid being relegated. Rovers looked as if they would head the table after the weekend\u2019s games but conceded a goal with two minutes left to draw 1-1 at Dover. That put Barnet, who dropped out of the Football League two seasons ago, in the driving seat after a 1-1 draw away to Kidderminster.

This is according to marks found on the fossils of two adults and a child unearthed in the French region of Poitou-Charentes. Similar marks have been seen at other Neanderthal sites showing how our ancestors cut and fractured the bones of their dead relatives. Neanderthals may have eaten deceased friends and family either for food or in bizarre funeral rituals. This is according to cuts seen on a number of fossils dating back 57,600 years. Pictured is cuts on a forearm bone . Since the Marillac site in France was unearthed, the discovery of fossil remains of animals, humans and tools has allowed the site to be identified as a hunting area for Neanderthals. The latest study has, for the first time, studied the bones of three individuals found between 1967 and 1980 at the French site dating back some 57,600 years. These are an incomplete diaphysis \u2013 or the middle part of long bones - of a right forearm bone, another of a left leg bone and the majority of a right thigh bone. The latter belonged to a child. When compared to the remains of other Neanderthals and modern humans, scientists found bone marks made shortly after death. Cut marks seen on the thigh bone of the Neanderthal child. Mar\u00eda Dolores Garralda, professor at the Complutense University of Madrid, and lead authors told SINC: 'Some Neanderthal groups cut and tore apart child or adult corpses shortly after death using lytic instruments' Several years ago, Spanish researchers came up with a dramatic new theory for the end of the Neanderthal - that humans ate them. The researchers point out we have already contributed to the extinction of 178 large mammals. They are now involved in further research on the bones of Neanderthal man to look for signs of human tooth marks. 'Except in its native Africa, in the other continents Homo sapiens can be considered as an invasive alien species,' write researchers Policarp Hortol\u00e0 and Bienvenido Mart\u00ednez-Navarro of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona, Spain. 'The only manner to test it is to find direct evidences of modern human eating marks on Neanderthal remains, such cut or broken marks on bones in artifacts made by modern humans,' he said. The team believe that as Homo Sapien spread into Europe and Asia, where Homo neanderthalensis was, it was treated just another food source - and a competitor. Mar\u00eda Dolores Garralda, professor at the Complutense University of Madrid, and lead authors told SINC: 'Some Neanderthal groups cut and tore apart child or adult corpses shortly after death using lytic instruments.' The thigh bone fragment, which appears to be from a child who died at the age of 9 or 10, shows two large cut marks half a centimetre apart.

On March 25 last year, Fellaini was jeered by both City and United fans as he was substituted in a 3-0 United defeat that proved the deathknell to the manager who signed him, David Moyes. Even more hurtfully, Reds legend Paul Scholes was scathing about Fellaini's United career up that point, saying on television: 'I'd be expecting a lot more of him.' Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has praised the rebirth of resurrection Marouane Fellaini . Fellaini, pictured against Aston Villa on April 4, is expected to start against Manchester City on Sunday . In the corresponding fixture last season, the Belgian (back) was criticised by fans and pundits in a 3-0 loss . Things have changed dramatically since then with Fellaini developing into a more effective No10 than Juan Mata, Rooney or Angel di Maria have been this season. Playing off Rooney, Fellaini has allowed van Gaal to play 4-3-3 with Ashley Young and Juan Mata either side of the centre-forward. United have won five league games in a row and are in third place, a point ahead of City for Sunday's derby. 'Marouane always does the things that we want from him. He is performing what we want from a midfielder, we have other players who are too creative and too emotional to do the job,' said van Gaal. 'I\u2019ve always said for the balance of our team you have to also defend as well as attack and you have to beat the pressure from the opponent. Marouane plays a factor in all these aspects, we needed him in the team, now he has that role and he plays his role very well.' Fellaini, who cost \u00a327million when Moyes signed him from Everton, has scored three goals in United's revival and also scored three times for his country in their two recent Euro 2016 qualifiers. As importantly, his aerial presence in both penalty areas has helped United. His overall physicality has helped LVG bring back a formation that he used earlier in the season against Chelsea, Manchester City and West Brom, without winning any of them. This season though, Van Gaal has been impressed with the midfielder's (right) ability in defence and attack .

He is being held at a facility in San Diego until he can be extradited to Utah. Orem police Lt. Craig Martinez said that process could take several weeks. Utah police said in court documents that they want Alshammari held without bail in Utah because they believe his international connections and willingness to walk away from $100,000 bail mean he'll flee the country to avoid prosecution. 'If you are bailing out, you are not supposed to leave the state \u2013 let alone the country,' Deputy Utah County Attorney Craig Johnson told KSL.com.

From what we eat to what we see, we constantly take in details about our environment. And while there is no need to remember many of them, our brain has the remarkable ability to store information that seems inconsequential at the time in case it becomes useful later on. Given new and relevant information, human beings have the capacity to strengthen weak memories using emotions - and researchers have said this points to the adaptive nature of human memory. Psychologists at New York University have been trying to gain an understanding about how the brain stores memories for 'emotionally neutral events' that gain significance through subsequent experience. 'How does the brain store all of this information? And how does emotion strengthen mundane memories?' post-doctoral fellows Joseph Dunsmoor and Vishnu Murty wrote on The Conversation. This study largely focused on how our brains remember emotionally arousing stimuli, such as evocative imagery or traumatic events . In particular, the study has looked into how the September 11 terrorist attacks in the the US affect memory retention. The researchers said we take for granted that we remember highly emotional events better than we remember neutral events, like a lunch date. Emotion increases our ability to remember by affecting activity in brain regions involved in emotional processing - particularly the amygdala and striatum - and also the regions involved in encoding new experiences, like the hippocampus. Scroll down for video . Emotion also increases the strength of our memory over time - a process called consolidation. Strong emotion can strengthen memory for positive events, such as a surprise birthday party thrown by close friends, and for negative events, such as making an embarrassing faux pas at the office holiday party. Researchers said we take for granted that we remember highly emotional events, like 9/11, better than we remember neutral events, like a lunch date. This is because emotion affects activity in certain brain regions. A view over the Hudson River towards the September 11th memorial lights is shown .

Participants in the study learned 90 single words and 120 unconnected word pairs such as 'milk taxi'. Some then watched a DVD while others slept. When they were then retested, those who had slept remembered more word pairs, the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory reported last month. Scientists from Saarland University in Germany, said that during sleep, bursts of brain activity known as sleep spindles play an important role in consolidating newly learned information.

+{"article": "A mother of three has been jailed for a year after conning a D-Day veteran out of nearly \u00a310,000 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 \u00a39,164 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 \u00a310,000 . 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\u2019t believe someone would do this to him. 'She robbed me of my dad. He stopped going out, he was so scared. 'I\u2019ll never be able to forgive her \u2013 she needs to realise she can\u2019t 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 \u00a36,000 - which she had never paid back - and also paid her \u00a330 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 \u00a36,000 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\u2019s 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 \u00a330-a-week to help him around the house .

Pelvic organ prolapse, or POP, occurs when tissue supporting the pelvic organs \u2013 including the womb \u2013 becomes weak, typically after childbirth. Complications include an uncomfortable dragging or \u2018full\u2019 feeling, discomfort during sex or stress incontinence. Although up to half of women are thought to suffer to some degree, far fewer seek help, and many who do are offered just one solution: a hysterectomy. While surgical removal of the reproductive organs solves the immediate problem, it also ends fertility, and with three months of recovery needed, it is no quick fix. Now, a leading gynaecologist has claimed thousands of patients may be undergoing the drastic operation needlessly. He is one of a growing number of surgeons who claim not enough women are offered the alternative: a half-hour keyhole procedure that uses an implanted mesh \u2018sling\u2019 made from nylon to lift and hold the womb back in place, providing a permanent solution to a prolapse and preserving fertility. The procedure, called a sacrohysteropexy, is rare, with just 1,072 admissions for the surgery in the past three years.

The educators fed answers to students or erased and changed the answers on tests after they were turned in to secure promotions or up to $5,000 each in bonuses, the court was told.

Researchers found coffee can stop the growth of tumours in women who have already been treated with the drug tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is the main hormonal therapy drug given to women who have not been through the menopause, and is usually taken for five years or longer after treatment for breast cancer. Just two cups of coffee a day can halve the risk of breast cancer returning and boosts the effect of the drug tamoxifen, researchers found . Most breast cancer tumours rely on the hormone oestrogen to grow, and tamoxifen blocks oestrogen from reaching the cancer cells. This means the cancer either grows more slowly or stops growing altogether. As part of the study, Swedish and British researchers looked at data from 1,090 breast cancer patients, in a follow up of a similar study carried out two years ago. They found that more than 500 women who had been treated with tamoxifen, and those that had drunk at least two cups of coffee a day, had only half the risk of their cancer returning than those who drank less coffee, or none at all. Ann Rosendahl, a researcher from Lund University who carried out the study, said: 'The study also shows that those who drank at least two cups of coffee a day had smaller tumours and a lower proportion of hormone-dependent tumours. 'We saw that this was already the case at the time of diagnosis.' Researchers also looked more closely at two substances that usually occur in coffee \u2013 caffeine and caffeic acid. They found the breast cancer cells reacted to these substances, especially caffeine. Caffeine caused the cells to divide less frequency, and die more often, especially when it was drunk in combination with tamoxifen. The study found caffeine caused breast cancer cells to divide less frequently and die more often . Ms Rosendahl said: 'This shows that these substances have an effect on the breast cancer cells and turn off signalling pathways that the cancer cells require to grow.' The team demonstrated both in in breast cancer patients and at cell level that coffee can reinforce the effect of treatment with tamoxifen. However, they emphasise the importance of taking prescribed medication. Ms Rosenhal added: 'They are incredibly important, but if you like coffee and are also taking tamoxifen, there is no reason to stop drinking it. 'Just two cups a day is sufficient to make a difference.' This is not the first study to link coffee consumption with improved cancer prognosis. Drinking coffee may reduce the risk of cancer in heavy drinkers, research has found. A World Cancer Research Fund study shows the hot drink can protect against liver cancer, which is often associated with alcohol abuse.

+{"article": "David Cameron's manifesto pledge to dramatically extend Margaret Thatcher's right-to-buy policy was this morning attacked as a 'deeply unfair' bribe which will cost taxpayers billions of pounds. In a bold pitch to working class voters, the Prime Minister said the Tories would offer discounts of up to 70 per cent to 1.3million families in housing association properties to buy their home. But the National Housing Federation said the subsidy - which will be funded by forcing councils to sell off their most expensive properties - will cost taxpayers \u00a35.8billion and was effectively worth \u00a3100,000 to each family who benefited. Scroll down for video . Thatcher's plan: Prime Minister David Cameron will announce an extension of the right-to-buy scheme which will allow all 1.3million families in housing association properties to buy their home . The Chartered Institute of Housing, meanwhile, said the move would do nothing to tackle the housing crisis - and could even make it worse by cutting the number of low-cost social homes available for poor families. Labour jumped on the remarks this morning, claiming the policy had 'unravelled' and pointed to figures showing that last year just 479 council homes were sold off \u2013 raising \u00a3100million, or 2 per cent of the funds promised by the Tories. But the Home Secretary Theresa May defended the policy on the BBC this morning \u2013 insisting it was affordable and would give families the opportunity to live in a home that they owned. She said: 'It is a very important policy because it shows what sort of government a Conservative government would be. It shows that we're a government that's on the side of working people who want to get on a build a better future for themselves and their families.' Unveiling the Conservative manifesto this morning, Mr Cameron declared the 'dream of a property-owning democracy is alive'. He said: 'The next Conservative government will extend the right-to-buy to all housing association tenants in this country \u2013 1.3million extra families \u2013 a new generation given the security of a home of their own.' Original plan: The right-to-buy scheme became Lady Thatcher's most famous single policy . The pledge to extend right-to-buy, which was introduced in 1980 but has now been stopped in its tracks by Labour in Wales and the SNP in Scotland, will delight the Tory faithful, who were buoyed last night by a six-point poll lead over Labour. But the policy was branded 'deeply unfair' by housing associations and industry experts today. National Housing Federation director Ruth Davison said the extension of Right to Buy to housing association properties was 'the wrong solution to our housing crisis'. She said: 'A very conservative estimate of this policy puts the cost to the taxpayer of at least \u00a35.8billion. 'Following 40 years of successive governments' failure to build the homes the country needs, soaring rents and house prices and the biggest baby boom since the 1950s, ensuring that there enough homes today and tomorrow must be our nation's top priority.'

He added: 'Did an accident happen? Sure. But is it accredited to his age? Or was it accredited to the rapidly evolving situation? I guess that will be determined in the investigation.' Bates, who has been a reserve since 2008, is the chief executive of Robert C Bates LLC, a Tulsa-based insurance company, who worked as an officer assigned to the Violent Crimes Task Force. He also spent time with the Tulsa Police Auxiliary. Speaking to local site News OK, Bates said: 'It was me. My attorney has advised me not to comment. As much as I would like to, I can\u2019t.' According to Tulsa Police, Harris had met an undercover officer to sell him a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol and 300 rounds ammunition and ran when deputies tried to arrest him, then fought with another deputy when he was shot.

He was gunned down after officers 'observed him reaching for his waistband area ... causing concern for the deputies' safety,' CNN reported. Officers had been monitoring Harris as part of an investigation into the trade of methamphetamine. As he met with undercover deputies to allegedly hand over the drugs, he is accused of offering to throw in a sawed-off gun. His convictions include escaping prison in 1990, robbery with a dangerous weapon in 1999, and making threatening phone calls. According to Tulsa Police, Harris' killer, Bates, is classified as an advanced deputy. Reserves are 'basic', 'intermediate', or 'advanced'.

Jordan Waddingham made a startling discovery after finding the world's largest European wasp nest . 'I followed the wasps back to their nest after they'd gone and collected wood from our sheds,' young Jordan told Seven News. Honorary Research Associate at Launceston's Queen Victoria Museum Simon Fearn told ABC it took two days to unearth the nest from the ground and four men to carry it out of the bush. 'A one-year-old nest is the size of a soccer ball, but this nest takes up the best part of a cubic metre,' he said.

+{"article": "No matter how young or old we are, most of us experience the odd memory lapse. Perhaps it will be forgetting where you put the car keys, or what you went to get from upstairs. Thankfully, these moments pass. But for those with dementia there is no such relief. Imagine what it's like being unable to recall what you'd done an hour before. Or not remembering how to navigate around your own house or the names of your nearest and dearest. Or knowing what everyday things are for, such as a fridge. Today, in the third part of our major Good Health series on dementia, we look at ways to help minimise the impact of these memory problems, to prolong independence and help those with dementia live as full a life as possible. Scroll down for video . Older people find it harder to reach a deeper sleep - but they still need just as much . THINGS THAT SABOTAGE YOUR MEMORY . Getting overtired: If the brain is tired, it affects the memory even for those without dementia. Recently, scientists have found out why. During deep sleep, brain waves move memories from the hippocampus - the area of the brain that is involved in short-term memory - to the prefrontal cortex at the front of the brain, where long-term memories are stored. If this doesn't happen, short-term memories get overwritten with new ones and the consequence is forgetfulness, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. It is a common misconception that we need less sleep as we get older - in fact we need just as much, the problem is that older people find it harder to reach a deeper sleep. Getting a good night's sleep can be especially difficult for those with dementia, especially those with Alzheimer's disease who may experience changes to their sleeping patterns. Quite why this happens is not understood, but it may be related to the impact the condition has on the brain. But there are steps that can make it easier. One of the most important measures is to avoid catnapping during the day (this becomes harder to avoid as dementia becomes more advanced). Catnapping makes it both harder to fall asleep at night and more likely you'll wake up earlier than desired. Other steps include avoiding caffeine - coffee or tea - in the evening. A regular bedtime is also important as this gives the body the cues it needs to feel sleepy at set times, making it easier to fall asleep. Although many people believe a nightcap will help them sleep, alcohol is counter-productive and tends to make you wake in the night.

We look at ways to help minimise the impact of memory problems . For example, we need just as much sleep as we get older . The problem is that older people find it harder to reach a deeper sleep . When the short-term memory starts to go, it can make it hard for someone to recall what they have already done that day, such as whether they've had breakfast, or showered, or spoken to someone. It can help to keep a diary - a record of what has been done through the day. Writing also helps encourage the cognitive processes, which can help slow down future decline. Create a memory hub - that is, a central place in the home, perhaps the dining room table or a desk, where important notes, car keys, house keys and drugs that need to be taken are kept. Put things here that you want to be able to find quickly. Get into the habit of having everything in this one place rather than having things scattered about the home. Get a whiteboard or blackboard - that can be used to record a timetable of what needs to be done each day that week. Things that get done can be ticked off. It is another way to show what has been done, but also shows what remains to be done. Label doors, drawers, cupboards and cabinets to avoid confusion about what goes where. Have a list of the numbers of key people by the phone - your GP and other care professionals, carers, family and reliable friends. Have a daily newspaper delivered - it is a simple way of keeping aware of what is happening in the world and is a useful reminder of that day's date. When showering or having a bath, establish a routine as a reminder of whether your hair has been washed. For example, move the conditioner and shampoo from one side of the bath to the other once you've used them. Eat regular meals. While other body cells can take fuel from elsewhere, the brain relies on a good supply of glucose from the blood. That's why skipping a meal can affect reasoning, cognition and memory. In the early stages of dementia, begin a reminiscence book to act as a reminder of key events in that person's life and who people are. It's a nice thing for the person with dementia and a loved one to do together. Include pictures and snippets of information and date and label every entry."}

The image shows a giant distant cluster of about 3,000 stars called Westerlund 2 inside a stellar 'breeding ground' called Gum 29, 20,000 light-years from Earth. In the image massive young stars can be seen feeding a nearby region with the fuel it needs to form new stars. Scroll down for video . A stellar nursery of about 3,000 stars called Westerlund 2 located about 20,000 light-years from the planet earth in the constellation Carina is shown in this image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, released today to celebrate the silver anniversary of Hubble's launch . Hubble was launched on 24 April 1990 aboard Space Shuttle Discovery. Despite a shaky start, when its primary mirror was ground to the wrong shape, Hubble soon began returning fantastic images of the distant universe, to the delight of scientists and the public alike on Earth. And this latest image is no exception, revealing a fascinating cluster of stars in the constellation Carina. The telescope, when it was first devised, was ambitious to say the least - it is 43ft (12.3 metres) long and 14ft (4.2 metres wide). It orbits Earth at a height of about 345 miles (555km) at a speed of 16,000 mph (27,750km/h), with its instruments finely tuned to account for its movement. It is able to image the universe in near-infrared, visible light and ultraviolet. It\u2019s estimated that the telescope can continue operating until 2020, when it will overlap with the James Webb Space Telescope, which is set to launch in 2018. 'Hubble has completely transformed our view of the universe,' said John Grunsfeld, astronaut and associate administrator of Nasa's Science Mission Directorate. 'This vista of starry fireworks and glowing gas is a fitting image for our celebration of 25 years of amazing Hubble science.' Hubble captured the image using its Wide Field Camera 3, which pierced through the dusty veil of dust and gas around the stellar nursery using near-infrared light. The cluster is between six and 13 light-years across but only two million years old, and thus contains some of the hottest, brightest and most massive stars in the galaxy. Some of the biggest stars in the cluster unleash torrents of ultraviolet light and hurricane-force winds of charged particles that disrupt the surrounding cloud of hydrogen gas. Inside the nebula is a fantasy landscape of pillars, ridges and valleys made of gas - the fuel for new stars. Some of the pillars are several light-years tall and point towards the centre of the cluster, while other dense regions surround the pillars. As the clusters is very young in astronomical terms, it has not had time to disperse its stars into deep space, so it provides astronomers an opportunity to gather information on how clusters like this form.

+{"article": "A pigeon-lover from Utah has had a giant aviary in his backyard torn down following a three-year legal battle with the city council. Boris Majnaric, 75, of South Jordan, built the 384-sq-ft, four-room bird house in 1996 and went on to rear more than 200 birds - five times over the legal limit. Over the years neighbors filed a torrent of complaints about the pigeons, detailing excess droppings and noise and last Tuesday the structure was finally demolished. Majnaric, who was so fond of his flock he once delivered CPR to an ailing member, was not present for the demolition. Heartache: In this Tuesday, March 31, photo workers clean out and begin to tear down a pigeon loft in 75-year-old Boris Majnaric's backyard in South Jordan, Utah . The retired middle school French teacher told The Deseret News that his doctor advised him to stay away from his home to 'avoid stress' as he'd recently been hospitalized for pulmonary problems. When officials told Majnaric the birds had to go, he spent more than $40,000 fighting the city in court. But in late March, a district judge did not sign an order to stop the demolition. 'I will feel very incomplete because pigeons have been part of my life,' said Majnaric, who is also facing three misdemeanor charges related to his backyard birds. 'It's going to be an empty thing for me,' he said. 'I don't think it's fair what they've done to me.' His conflict with the city began about four years ago, when neighbors noticed an explosion of pigeons and complained to the city about the birds 'dropping things' on their property. Kathy Brown, who lives across the street from Majnaric, said the birds didn't bother her. 'The pigeons are his children. He's taken good care of them,' she said. 'I feel for him, but you have to obey the laws, too.' On Tuesday, the flocks of pigeons were replaced with South Jordan animal control offices and public work employees who gathered to watch the loft come down. Yellow caution tape lined Majnaric's yard and Utah Disaster Kleenup removed pigeon droppings and prepared to dismantle the structure. The city has also given Majnaric 30 days to relocate a gazebo that served as a roosting place for dozens of the birds. City officials say they decided to take down the loft after Majnaric failed to comply with multiple court orders to reduce his yard's pigeon population. 'We really, really tried to work with him and get the population under control,' said South Jordan spokeswoman Tina Brown. All gone: Majnaric is distraught after city officials tore down his backyard house built to house 200 pigeons _ five times as many as allowed under city rules . But she said the numbers never went down to the level they agreed upon. Majnaric agreed last summer to move the loft and gazebo himself to a house in Cottonwood Heights, said John Walsh, his attorney. But his structures didn't meet the zoning requirements there. Majnaric stopped keeping pigeons in mid-January, although some still visit his yard.", "summary": "Boris Majnaric, 75, of South Jordan, built the 384-sq-ft, four-room bird house in 1996 and went on to rear more than 200 birds .

Bill Gates, a failed vegetarian, says the world's demand for meat can be met with 'moderation and innovation' In his most recent blog post, the world's richest man, has defended meat eating, saying was unrealistic to expect large numbers of people to become vegetarian. He also explains that some of the impacts of meat farming have been overstated. Instead he believes it will be possible to provide enough meat for the world's growing population as demand in developing countries increases. Scientists have already cooked up the first test tube beef burger, but now researchers in Israel are working on the world's first lab-grown chicken. Professor Amit Gefen, a bioengineer at Tel Aviv University, . has begun a year-long feasibility study into manufacturing . chicken in a lab, funded by a non-profit group called the Modern . Agriculture Foundation which hopes 'cultured meat' will one day . replace the raising of animals for slaughter. The foundation's co-founder Shir Friedman hopes to have . produced 'a recipe for how to culture chicken cells' by the end . of the year. The researchers say their task is more difficult than . producing the first lab-grown hamburger, a $300,000 beef patty . cooked up at Maastricht University in the Netherlands after five . years of research financed by Google co-founder Sergey . Brin. To make the beef burger muscle fibers were grown in the lab from stem cells taken from a cow. These tiny chunks were then combined to make the beef burger. Those who tasted it said it was like meat, but not 'juicy'. Professor Gefen, however, is hoping to make a whole piece of . chicken, starting from a single cell. He said: 'Although it might be possible to get people in richer countries to eat less or shift toward less-intensive meats like chicken, I don't think it's realistic to expect large numbers of people to make drastic reductions. 'Evolution turned us into omnivores. 'But there are reasons to be optimistic. For one thing, the world's appetite for meat may eventually level off. 'Consumption has plateaued and even declined a bit in many rich countries, including France, Germany, and the United States. 'I also believe that innovation will improve our ability to produce meat.' The consumption of meat has met with considerable criticism in recent years as climate change experts have warned about the harm it is doing to the planet. A recent report from Chatham House said that the global livestock industry produces more greenhouse gas emissions than cars, planes, trains and ships combined.

Aitor Karanka would surely have made his defenders walk home from Watford were it not for the probability they\u2019d spend most of the journey travelling in circles. This was that kind of game, a top-of-the-table occasion when Middlesbrough needed to deliver but ultimately failed on every scale \u2013 they did not create, they did not contain. They might have survived with deficiencies in one department, but not both. What a cruel time to deliver one of their worst performances of a brilliant season. What a cruel time for the Championship\u2019s best defence to explode at the seams. Odion Ighalo's shot flies into the top corner of Dimi Konstantopoulos' net on 65 minutes .

They gifted Troy Deeney his 20th goal of the season and they contributed significantly to Odion Ighalo scoring his 19th in the second half. With that, Watford rose and Middlesbrough fell. That has been the way of this remarkable season in this peculiar division, for which everyone and no-one has staked a claim. The Championship lead which Boro held at the start of play has now changed hands 16 times, with Watford back in prominence and Karanka sounding like a man searching for a positive note. Karanka said: \u2018The players are completely destroyed but I am very proud of them. We have players who have come from League One and other teams in the Championship, a lot of young players, and we are fighting with the best teams in the Championship. No one could have expected this position. \u2018The people who know me and this team know we will fight to the last second. I don\u2019t want to forget our position is amazing.\u2019 True enough, but the reality is Boro have a chance to turn a good season into multi-million pound jackpot.

And in the context of the season, their combined 39 goals are pulling the sleigh. Here, they had help.

However, while voiceover work might be a salary-boosting sideline, it can go down like a lead balloon with other employers, as Coronation Street actress Katy Cavanagh discovered to her peril recently. Executives at Coronation Street have reportedly just overturned a ban on their cast offering their dulcet tones to radio advertising campaigns after rumours of a near-mutiny among its actors, the catalyst for which was Katy's extensive voiceover work. Put a sock in it: In the past Corrie has reportedly tried to silence its stars when they've asked to do voiceover work for television adverts. Complaints from actors have led bosses to revise the ban . Katy, who played Julie Carp on the Coronation Street, pictured here on set with actor Jimmi Harkishin, has been the voice behind many ad campaigns including Whitbread, Lancome, iPlayer Restart and Nestle Kit Kats . According to the Sun, one of the soap's biggest names, Katy Cavanagh, who until last month played Julie Carp, was said to have been given a telling off for taking on a voiceover job for the BBC iPlayer Restart. The show's bosses were said to be disgruntled that Katy was lending her voice to a rival station and thus potentially advertising the Street's biggest competitor, EastEnders. Pressure from fellow actors is said to have caused bosses to relent and enable their 'talent' to take on radio voiceover jobs, although television adverts are said to still be strictly forbidden. For those actors not tied to tricky contracts, the voiceover world can be a very rewarding one with plenty of big-name companies prepared to put their money where their mouths are if it means securing a star that they feel might help them sell more of their product.

Detective Superintendent Mick Plotecki said the United State's popular national gun laws, and the country's influence on Australia through popular culture, was likely to be driving the increase in licence holders in the state. 'There is an element in the community who are swayed by the US culture that guns are a right rather than a privilege,' Supt Plotecki told News Corp. 'Generally speaking however Australians don't have a strong gun culture and recent strong reaction against relaxing our gun ownership laws is indicative of this - Australians don't want lax gun laws'. He added that there did not appear to have been an increase in gun related crime that related to the increase in licences. Although the figures revealed that each person with a licence owns an average of 2.3 guns each, the Firearm Registry's regulations suggest it's not easy to acquire a licence. Each request must include a 'genuine reason', proved through supporting evidence, with each reason in turn holding restrictions on the type of gun that can be owned.

Bikram yoga improves mindfulness, flexibility, strength, muscle tone and general fitness, advocates boast. But a new study has warned the practise, which involves performing 26 poses, can raise a person's body temperature and heart rate to dangerous levels. A typical session lasts for 90 minutes and is performed in a room heated to 40\u00b0C (105\u00b0F), with 40 per cent humidity. Scroll down for video . Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse have warned that Bikram yoga, which involves 26 poses performed in a room heated to 40\u00b0C (105\u00b0F), raises the risk of participants suffering heat stroke . A team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse has found hot yoga can place pressure cause a person's heart rate to fluctuate and their core body temperature to reach potentially dangerous levels. Emily Quandt, who led the study, working under John Porcari, said: 'The dramatic increases in heart rate and core temperature are alarming when you consider that there is very little movement, and therefore little cardiovascular training, going on during class.' Twenty apparently healthy volunteers - seven men and 13 women - ranging in age from 28 to 67 took part in the study. All regularly practised Bikram yoga and as such were familiar with the 26 standard poses. They were also all acclimatised to the hot, humid environment. Before taking part in a session each volunteer swallowed a core body temperature sensor, and was given a heart-rate monitor to wear during the class. Body temperature was recorded before the class started, as well as at 10-minute intervals throughout the session. Meanwhile heart rate was recorded every minute. The researchers found heart rate fluctuated throughout the class, depending on the difficulty of the pose being performed. But body temperature was found to steadily increase throughout the 90-minute class, in both men and women. The average body temperature for men was 39\u00b0C (103\u00b0F) and 38\u00b0C (102\u00b0F) for women. Scientists advise that the standard 90-minute class is reduced to just an hour to reduce risks . A male participant recorded the highest core temperature of 40\u00b0C (104\u00b0F), while seven volunteers' temperature reached 39\u00b0C (103\u00b0F), the scientists said. They noted that while none of their volunteers exhibited signs or symptoms of heat intolerance, body temperatures such as these can pose a danger for some people. They said the risk for heat-related illness, such as heat stroke, increases at 40\u00b0C (104\u00b0F). Dr Quandt said while the excessive perspiration experienced by people doing Bikram yoga is often cited as a benefit because it releases toxins, the results of the new study show this sweating was insufficient to cool down the body. She advises three ways to improve the safety of Bikram yoga classes - duration, temperature and hydration. Dr Quandt noted that participants started to experience dangerous core temperatures around 60 minutes into the session.

Labour leader Ed Miliband will allow Scotland to set a more generous benefits system than the rest of the UK if he becomes Prime Minister. Mr Miliband will hand Scottish MPs the unprecedented power to set a higher state pension and more generous dole and disability payments in a desperate attempt to reverse the exodus of his voters to the SNP. He will unveil the radical proposals in his manifesto, due to be published tomorrow, as he attempts to fight back in Scotland \u2013 a key General Election battleground. But the move will lead to fears that it could again put the future of the Union at risk by setting Scotland apart from the rest of the UK. Under Mr Miliband\u2019s plan, the Scottish Parliament will be given the power to \u2018top up\u2019 payments which are reserved to Westminster, including jobseeker\u2019s allowance, disability living allowance or even the state pension. Critics fear that it could lead to the SNP and Labour veering increasingly to the Left by promising a more generous benefits system. It is also sure to prove controversial in other parts of the UK, and could stoke resentment about Scots getting a better deal. There are already concerns about Scots receiving state handouts such as free prescriptions and free tuition fees, which are not available in England and Wales.

Crucially, the money would need to be found from elsewhere within the Scottish Parliament\u2019s budget \u2013 or raised through increased taxation. That increases the prospect that other taxpayers could see their bills soar in order to fund benefit giveaways. Scottish Conservative MSP Alex Johnstone said: \u2018This is an example of Labour desperately foraging around for policies it thinks people in Scotland want to hear. \u2018They\u2019re forgetting people voted \u201cNo\u201d [in the independence referendum], and don\u2019t need Labour patronising them on the constitution.\u2019 Miliband and Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy appear at a General Election campaign press conference in Edinburgh .", "summary": "Ed Miliband will allow Scotland to set a more generous benefits system .

The game was stopped for eight minutes after a flare was thrown from the stand housing visiting fans but Widnes maintained their focus to run out 30-10 winners and maintain their impressive form at the Select Security Stadium, where they have taken seven points out of a possible 10 this year. Warrington's losing run is their worst since 2009 and their misery was compounded by the loss of winger Matty Russell with a leg injury. Following a delay caused by a flare, Widnes condemned Warrington to a third defeat in a row . Widnes, hammered by Salford in their previous outing, were boosted by the return of influential captain Kevin Brown from a three-match absence with a hamstring injury and the Wolves had no answer to his half-back partnership with Joe Mellor. Yet Warrington could hardly have made a better start, with England forward Ben Westwood collecting a rebound from Gareth O'Brien's high kick to score the opening try after only five minutes. It was eight minutes before O'Brien could add the goal as the game was stopped to enable stewards to clear the flare from the pitch and remove the offenders. Once back under way, the game flowed from end to end but, while Widnes scrambled superbly to keep their line intact, the visitors' defence cracked three times as the Vikings found some real potency in their attack. Dangerous full-back Rhys Hanbury got centre Cameron Phelps through a gap for the first try on 10 minutes and, after Russell had hobbled off, his opposite number Stefan Marsh gathered Brown's pinpoint kick for the first of his brace of scores to give his side a lead they never looked like relinquishing. Widnes lost Phelps to injury on 29 minutes, which paved the way for 19-year-old Matt Whitley to make his debut, but they struck again three minutes before the break when Mellor's cut-out gave Marsh a clear run for his second try. Jack Owens managed just one conversion and also missed a long-range penalty attempt on the stroke of half-time but Widnes took only five minutes of the second half to extend their lead. A touchline dash from Owens created the position for hooker Lloyd White to burrow his way over from dummy half for the softest of tries. It went from bad to worse for the visitors when Westwood was sin-binned following the concession of three consecutive penalties by his team and the Vikings immediately took advantage of the extra man when Brown went through a gap for a fifth try. Owens converted both tries to make it 26-6 but Warrington pulled a try back on 64 minutes through makeshift centre Ben Currie after the home side were down to 12 men with Danny Tickle in the sin-bin for a foul on Daryl Clark. Widnes fittingly had the final say when Owens went over three minutes from the end for his side's sixth try.", "summary": "Warrington slipped to their third straight defeat in the Super League .

It\u2019s the week of the Champions League quarter-finals, therefore the Manchester City director of football would have expected to be on the move. This week, however, just like last year, Begiristain is on the outside looking in. City succumbed meekly to Barcelona last month leaving him to plan his schedule only as a voyeur. The thought of Begiristain and his favourite coach, Pep Guardiola, in the same stadium as Bayern Munich attempt to turn over a 3-1 first leg deficit to Porto certainly provides some appropriate imagery. Guardiola is the man Begiristain would like to install at City in the summer of 2016. Manchester City are keen for Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola to become their new manager in 2016 .

Guardiola is facing his first Champions League exit prior to the semi-final stages of his coaching career and at the hands of relatively inconsequential opposition too. Begiristain, meanwhile, has a decision to make, along with the members of the City hierarchy, about their current manager Manuel Pellegrini. Certainly, Guardiola\u2019s position is interesting. The Champions League \u2013 a competition he won twice in four seasons at Barcelona \u2013 is central to his identity. He has only ever lost ten matches in six seasons as a coach. Nevertheless, last season\u2019s 5-0 aggregate dismantling at the hands of Real Madrid in the last four raised eyebrows in Bavaria. Bayern were the defending champions when he took over, after all. Now he faces even greater ignominy unless his injury-hit team can produce something special on Tuesday night, this in a week that has seen the club\u2019s distinguished doctor Hans Muller Wohlfahrt walk out in protest at Guardiola\u2019s methods and attitude. Such scrutiny, such criticism is relatively new to Guardiola, who is still only 44. Last week Bayern chief executive Karl Heinz Rummenigge refused to criticise Guardiola\u2019s team. Previously, however, he had been scathing in his assessment of the Brazilian defender Dante, a player who performed horribly in Portugal last week and who Guardiola recommended for a new contract just last summer. None of this is helpful to a coach when he is trying to navigate the closing stages of a season that always asks big questions of teams and squad stretched by injuries and fatigue.

Some of his somewhat controversial demands include obesity wardens in the street, fat warning signs outside fast food restaurants and Steve moving in with public role models who are overweight. An outspoken weight loss expert, Steve Miller, has devised a five-point plan he is convinced will help tackle Britain's obesity crisis . Steve claims that these interventions could save the country and the NHS millions. He said: 'The financial burden obesity has placed on the UK\u2019s economy is astronomical, it cost the nation nearly \u00a347bn in 2014 alone. 'I am sick and tired of the weak measures in place that are clearly failing to tackle this nationwide health issue. 'It\u2019s obvious that drastic steps need to taken in order to take fat seriously. I don\u2019t care if my views make me unpopular, as long as they make people sit up and listen.' The five simple steps that Steve is pledging are as follows: . 1. Getting fat celebrities to lose weight . Steve believes that overweight celebrities and public figures are promoting an unhealthy body image and are bad role models. He is offering to move in with people he deems overweight to help motivate them to lose weight and get them in the right mindset. Steve claims that these interventions, including obesity wardens in the street, fat warning signs outside fast food restaurants and Steve moving in with public role models who are overweight, could save the country and the NHS millions . 2. Fast food warning signs . Steve claims weight loss is all about control and currently the temptation to pig out is always there with no restrictions. He believes by installing fat warning signs outside fast food joints, there is a concrete health warning for those who are overweight, which should make them think twice before tucking into a burger and fries. Steve claims weight loss is all about control and currently the temptation to pig out is always there with no restrictions . 3. Obesity wardens . Under Steve\u2019s plan, these would be Government-employed individuals who could speak on the street to fat people and openly to encourage them to lose weight. Sometimes it takes someone else to tell you to take action before you see what a huge problem being overweight is and from Steve\u2019s experience, he is convinced constructive fat shaming works. 4. Payments for two seats on a plane and cinemas . According to Steve, double payment for plane seats is another way of constructively fat shaming.

Indonesia's HM Prasetyo said the pair would be executed soon and there would be no more delays as their latest court challenge failed . But attorney-general HM Prasetyo says he will not wait for another court challenge. 'No, there shall be no more (delays),' he said after Monday's verdict.

At the baby\u2019s inquest this week, a coroner in Pembrokeshire said new parents were given \u2018confusing\u2019 advice over how tired they could be when they slept in the same bed as their child.

But coroner Mark Layton said: \u2018The advice is that it is not wrong to share a bed with your baby \u2013 but you should refrain from doing so if you are \u201cexcessively tired\u201d. This is very confusing. It is a fact of life that parents or carers of a young infant would be very tired because of the baby\u2019s erratic sleep pattern. \u2018It suggests that it\u2019s okay to go to sleep with your baby if you are not very tired.

Miss James had been to a party and had \u2018a little to drink\u2019 before she, her baby and a friend all shared the bed at the family home in Neyland, West Wales, in October last year.

A North Carolina man's obituary asked two things of friends and family: instead of sending flowers for the funeral, give the money to charity. And don't vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016. The family of 81-year-old Larry Upright added the political message to the obituary announcing the Kannapolis man's death and burial this week. Upright's daughter, Jill McLain, said the rock-ribbed Republican was passionate about politics. She says that recollection prompted his family to ask obituary readers to reject Clinton's presidential bid, not necessarily to spark controversy. 'We did it solely to do something nice and honorable for our dad,' Jill McLain told WSOC-TV. Mike Upright said his deceased father voiced his opinions regularly. 'We did this for him,' Mike Upright said. 'We know he's up there giggling right now. Just laughing out loud.' The obituary also describes Upright as an active member of local Masonic and Shriners organizations and a country club. He retired after a career in the building automation industry.

The Rockhampton hearing in Queensland, which started on Tuesday, is expected to go until April 24.

AYL also recalled an incident where she was allegedly raped with a broom handle by employee Kevin Baker, The Courier Mail reported. The day before her own assault was carried out she claimed she had witnessed Baker sexually abusing a boy until he bled.

The body was found in the front seat of her car in Stetson, Maine, on June 24, 2013. Assistant Attorney General Deb Cashman said Norrishad committed the murder to stop her ex-boyfriend, the father of her child, dating other women. 'She did not want (his new girlfriends) mothering her child,' reported the Bangor Daily News. Norris wept as she told the Judge: 'I want it to be known that I'm sorry to everyone that I have hurt,' reported the newspaper. 'All I ever wanted was for her to be safe and us to be together forever.' The court heard that Norris had suffered from mental health problems including depression, and had tried to commit suicide after she killed her daughter. But Superior Court Justice Ann Murray had rejected Norris' insanity defense and found her guilty.

Clyne, out of contract next summer, is one such target and this week fuelled mounting speculation over a move to United by talking about his desire to play in the Champions League. Koeman twice won the competition as a player and fully understands Clyne's ambitions, and therefore the difficulty Saints may face in getting him to stay. 'It's up to the press how they take those kind of comments,' the Dutchman said.

'We need understanding for that but nothing else. 'We hope one day we will compare to the big ones, but that's difficult. We know our level, we know our possibilities. 'The club can't fight against big teams in the Premier League because the money and the possibilities of them are still much higher than we have.' Koeman's understanding will only last for so long, though, and the Southampton manager wants Clyne's future sorted before the end of the campaign. 'We don't wait until the end of the season because you know if there is a player who is left one season of his contract then you have to do something,' he said.

As a result patients injected with the neutralising antibody during the trials saw a 300-fold reduction in their viral load. Scientists at the Rockefeller University in New York believe a new antibody therapy could pave the way for an HIV vaccine after clinical trials revealed the treatment resulted in a 300-fold decrease in the amount of HIV, pictured, in sufferers' blood . In a person infected with HIV, there is an ongoing battle between the virus and the body's immune system. As the body produces new antibodies that target the virus, the infection mutates to escape, managing to stay a few steps ahead. The team of scientists at Rockefeller University in New York now believe that using synthetic antibodies that attached to the surface of proteins on the outer membrane of the HIV virus, could offer an alternative treatment to the anti-retroviral drugs currently used. They hope the breakthrough will result in new therapeutic vaccines. HIV antibodies previously tested in humans had shown disappointing results, but the antibody tested at Rockefeller University belongs to a new generation of broadly neutralising antibodies that potently fight a wide range of HIV strains. Healthy gay men should be given anti-retroviral drugs to 'slash the number of cases of HIV', a groundbreaking study published earlier this year suggested. The Proud study, conducted in England, provides the first evidence that preventative HIV treatment is highly effective in a real-world setting. It showed that pre-exposure to the HIV drug Truvada can reduce the risk of infection in men-who-have-sex-with-men by as much as 86 per cent. Previous research had suggested that preventive treatment might cut HIV infection rates but it was unclear whether such an approach would work in practice. 'One antibody alone, like one drug alone, will not be sufficient to suppress viral load for a long time because resistance will arise,' said Dr Marina Caskey, co-first author of the study. 'What's special about these antibodies is that they have activity against over 80 per cent of HIV strains and they are extremely potent.' The research showed the new antibody therapy was effective against 195 of 237 HIV strains. The immune systems of people infected with HIV naturally produce broadly neutralising antibodies in 10 to 30 per cent of sufferers, but only after several years of infection. By that time, the virus has typically evolved and mutated to a point rendering the powerful antibodies ineffective. However, by isolating and cloning these antibodies, researchers are able to harness them as therapeutic agents to use against HIV infections that have had less", "summary": "New antibody blocks protein receptor needed to infect human cells .

A benefits cheat who pocketed almost \u00a317,000 of taxpayers' money and spent it on a string of luxury holidays despite having \u00a327,000 in the bank has avoided jail. Mary Day, 60, of Swanage in Dorset, used taxpayers' money to go on luxury holidays to the Indian resort of Goa for up to a month each time. Day fraudulently claimed \u00a316,500 of income support and disability allowance despite having \u00a327,000 of her own savings in the bank. Her savings were \u00a311,000 above the \u00a316,000 threshold for savings while claiming such benefits, which meant she was overpaid benefits for more than four years. Day went on three trips to tourist hotspot Goa in 2009, 2011 and 2014, but failed to tell the authorities. She was caught following an anonymous tip-off to benefits officers. Day has now pleaded guilty to five counts of dishonestly failing to notify the Department for Work and Pensions of a change in circumstances affecting her ability to claim benefits. District Judge Stephen Nicholls sentenced her to three months in prison, but suspended the sentence for 12 months as she pleaded guilty and had repaid the money. Sentencing Day at Bournemouth Magistrates Court, he said: 'You have been credited with the guilty plea and I have taken into account that you have no previous convictions. 'Clearly this is rather a large sum of money which you have claimed. But you pleaded guilty to all matters and monies have been repaid. 'This does cross the custody threshold and I will impose a sentence of 12 weeks' custody suspended for 12 months.' Day was also ordered to pay \u00a385 towards prosecution costs and a victim surcharge of \u00a380. Tax watchdog The Taxpayers' Alliance said Day's sentence would do little to discourage others from committing benefit fraud. Chief executive Jonathan Isaby said: 'Benefit fraud isn't just stealing from taxpayers, but takes money away from those who really need it. Day went on trips to tourist hotspot Goa in 2009, 2011 and 2014, but did not tell the authorities . 'With finances so tight, we must crack down on those who seek to game the system for their own advantage and minimise the amount of taxpayers' cash swindled by fraudsters. 'Taxpayers will wonder whether punishments like this - or the lack thereof - do enough to discourage others from attempting the same crime.' A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: 'Benefit payments should go to those who really need them. 'We know it's a small minority of people who commit benefit fraud, but deliberately not informing us of a change in your condition that may affect your claim is a crime.'

The museum yesterday handed over seven rare artifacts in its possession after authorities found, to the shock of museum officials, that they had been smuggled into the U.S. by former New York art dealer Subhash Kapoor. Agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will take the items back to New York and, from there, eventually return them to the government of India. Marc Thomas, chief preparator at the Honolulu Museum of Art, holds one of seven stolen artifacts that were on display in the museum's collection . The artifacts are believed to have been smuggled into the U.S. by an art dealer facing charges in India . The items' origin was discovered after a tourist visiting the museum noticed the dealer, Subhash Kapoor, was listed as their source . Dealer Kapoor, was arrested in 2011 and is awaiting trial in India. Officials say he created false provenances for the antiquities. The discovery was made after a visitor last year recognized the name of Kapoor's New York gallery as the source of a 2,000-year-old terra cotta rattle and contacted authorities, said Stephan Jost, the museum's director. Museum officials then pored over their records and determined six other Indian items had ties to Kapoor. He said Kapoor donated one of the items and sold five to the museum, while one was a gift from someone else. Agents are hailing the Honolulu museum for being the first U.S. institution to publicly and easily cooperate with the investigation, dubbed 'Operation Hidden Idol,' involving four arrests and the recovery of thousands of pieces worth a total of $150 million. 'Owning stolen stuff is not part of our mission,' Mr Jost said. 'I'm not sure we've done anything heroic. We just want to do the right thing.' Mr Jost watched as agents inspected the items - the rattle, figurines, architectural fragments and tiles - and them hauled them in packed crates into a truck. The items were found to have been sourced from Subhash Kapoor (pictured), who is facing charges in India . Brenton Easter, a special agent for Homeland Security, inspects the artifacts in the basement of the Honolulu Museum of Art . This tile is believed to have been looted from a religious temple or ancient Buddhist site in India . They have now been packed up and sent to New York, from where they will be returned to India's government . Martinez stressed there was no culpability on the museum's part, as it wasn't aware of the items' provenance when it acquired them between 1991 and 2003. Mr Jost said American art museums are becoming more rigorous in vetting the history of objects they acquire. 'Could we have done a better job? Sure,' he said. 'Were we a victim? Yes.' Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Brenton Easter said it was not uncommon for unsavory dealers to donate ill-gotten", "summary": "Seven artifacts were found to have come from an art dealer facing charges .

Their warning comes after a survey found almost half of dog owners did not know that ticks can transmit deadly diseases to both humans and other dogs. Over half, 54 per cent, also confessed they did not know that Lyme disease, a potentially fatal illness caught from tick bites, affects their pets as well as themselves. Knowledge about Lyme disease is increasing and it is known to wreck lives. In extreme cases, the nervous system, joints and heart can be affected, and symptoms may be misdiagnosed as other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Vets are urging the public to get their dogs checked out for ticks, which can spread potentially fatal diseases - such as Lyme disease - to humans . At the other extreme, symptoms may be so mild that someone who's been bitten by an infected tick may experience only flu-like symptoms. Ticks, which flourish in long grass or undergrowth, typically attach to deer but can also be found on foxes, badgers, mice, birds as well as domestic pets - responsible for carrying the ticks into urban areas - and humans. Areas of undergrowth (including parks and gardens - as well as woodland and open country) are most likely to harbour ticks as they drop off their original hosts then climb to a point where they can latch on to other passing wildlife. It's why most people are bitten below the waist. With the forecast of increasingly damp winters and hotter summers - ideal conditions for the ticks to thrive - as well as growth in deer numbers, the concern is that the incidence of Lyme disease will rise further. Lyme disease, or Lyme borreliosis, is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. Ticks are tiny spider-like creatures found in woodland and heath areas. They feed on the blood of birds and mammals, including humans. Ticks that carry the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease are found throughout the UK and in other parts of Europe and North America. Ticks that carry the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease which can infect humans . Many people with early-stage Lyme disease develop a distinctive circular rash at the site of the tick bite, usually around 3 to 30 days after being bitten. This is known as erythema migrans. Some people with Lyme disease also experience flu-like symptoms in the early stages, such as tiredness (fatigue), muscle pain, joint pain,headaches, a high temperature (fever), chills and neck stiffness. More serious symptoms may develop several weeks, months or even years later if Lyme disease is left untreated or is not treated early on. These can include: . Some of these problems will get better slowly with treatment, although they can persist if treatment is started late.

+{"article": "Masters champion Jordan Spieth is back to work this week at the RBC Heritage Classic after two days celebrating his victory at Augusta National and being showered with attention. Spieth arrived at Sea Pines Resort late Tuesday night after a media whirlwind in New York since tying Tiger Woods' Masters record of 18-under 270 to capture the green jacket. The 21-year-old said it was a dizzying stretch with 26 appearances and interviews in 25 hours. 'It was a little crazy in New York having paparazzi know where we were going to eat dinner even though we never told anybody,' Spieth said Wednesday. Spieth doesn't believe the success will change him. In fact, he said he upheld his commitment to the RBC Heritage in part to chase down Rory McIlroy for world No. 1. 'I wouldn't come to a tournament just to come to a tournament, especially with that goal still in mind,' said Spieth, who moved to No. 2 in the world rankings with the Masters' win. Jordan Spieth returns to golf just days after winning the Masters and will play in the RBC Heritage Classic . Spieth has had two victories and two runner-up finishes in his past four events. He would have liked to have had his normal pre-tournament preparations at Harbour Town Golf Links. Instead, he'll go into his first-round tee time Thursday not having played a hole of practice on the tricky, Pete Dye-designed layout. 'I'm sure Jordan's wiped,' said Kevin Streelman, the Par-3 contest winner at Augusta National last week who finished tied for 12th behind Spieth. 'But he's 21 years old, he can handle it.' Spieth has had success here the previous two years, finishing ninth in 2013 and 12th last year. The RBC Heritage gave him an invite two years ago when Spieth was a rising, yet largely unknown 19 -year-old trying to make his way on tour. The top-10 finish, Spieth said, helped his confidence and status on the PGA Tour. 'This tournament helped with job security,' Spieth said. 'So it's a tournament that's close to me and I love it here.' The 21-year-old was in formidable form at Augusta and equaled Tiger Woods' tournament birdie record . Most Masters champions - and many of the game's best players - take the next week off after a pressure-packed week at Augusta National. Spieth heads a group of five ranked in the top 20 of the world (No. 10 Jim Furyk, No. 14 Patrick Reed, No. 17 Matt Kuchar and No. 19 Billy Horschel are the others) to compete this week. Streelman enjoys playing right after a major, knowing his game is honed in and peaking after a Grand Slam event. 'Your game is really primed and amped up,' he said. 'I'm very prepared.' Kuchar is the tournament's defending champion, holing out from a green-side bunker on the 72nd hole to defeat Luke Donald by a stroke. Spieth's success has him atop the FedEx Cup standings, the youngest player ever to lead that category.

Mitchell Keenan, 32, was diagnosed with frostbite six weeks ago after his sister discovered his blackened toes and rushed him to hospital. They were so badly diseased that they could not be saved and they had to be amputated. It came after Mr Keenan had been living in the tent with his father Keith, 62, following their eviction from their four-bedroom home in Skelmersdale, West Lancashire, last year when they fell behind with their repayments. Mr Keenan's father was also diagnosed with severe health problems including malnourishment, scabies and dementia.

She explained: 'The bedroom tax is an awful thing, it's affecting people's lives all over the country and needs to be repealed.'

It's the difference between a good holiday and an adventurously good holiday - with some embarrassment thrown in. On day one, after manoeuvring our rented boat into sheltered waters off Kastani beach, I cut the throttle and my girlfriend threw out the anchor. Splash! Splendidly small: Skopelos has a relaxed, offbeat vibe that plays out in the pretty port of Chora . As the breeze pushed us back, the short anchor line quickly ran out until the end - then we heard a softer, more ominous splash. We hadn't noticed that the end wasn't secured. The rope sank fast. Oh dear. But our shame was admirably handled by the boat owners, who promptly gave us a second anchor, and assured us they would retrieve the original. This generosity of spirit set the tone for our week on this hilly, pine-forested island. Skopelos is known as the film location for Mamma Mia! and I had feared there might be endless reminders of the day when Meryl Streep's Donna found love. I need not have worried.

But one Scottish scientist is hoping they could, in fact, be the answer to heating our homes in the future. However, he hasn't ruled out the chance of someone could potentially use them for weapons. Space lasers: Dr Adrian Quarterman has suggested space lasers could be used to power homes in the future - but says the beams will be nowhere near as powerful as imagined in films like Star Wars (pictured) Dr Adrian Quarterman, of Dundee University, is working on a laser which will convert sun beams into energy, The Times reported. The satellites will orbit the earth, covered in mirrors to help it harvest the sunlight and convert it into laser light. The energy it then creates, using semi-conductors, can be shot back down to earth. If it works, it could mean solar power could even become viable in Scotland, or be able to restore power instantly to disaster hit areas. The physicist told The Times: 'What this will do is be able to fire at solar panels to boost the energy they are receiving.' Initial trials in Scotland were successful, but Dr Quarterman is now hoping to move the trials to Portugal. Similar?: Tokyo rresearchers have proposed a laser system to attach to the ISS which would be used to shoot down pieces of debris in Earth orbit (artist's illustration shown) Unlike the lasers in the movies, however, they will not be powerful enough to blind a pigeon, let alone blow up a planet. And it is quite different from ideas unveiled in a paper earlier this week, which could see the International Space Station fitted with lasers to clear up 'space junk'. The system, suggested by researchers at the Riken research institute in Tokyo, would use a telescope already mounted on the station to find and target pieces of debris up to 62 miles (100km) away. Powerful pulses from the laser would then push space junk into Earth\u2019s atmosphere, where it would burn up. But this laser would also not be powerful enough to be turned into a weapon: the pieces it targets will be less than a centimetre in size.

The scapegoat with the funny hair found it no laughing matter and this season has thrived under a manager who is utilising his strengths. Van Gaal is brave enough and bold enough to throw the big man into the action and give him licence to attack, regardless of aesthetics. If his unplayable form continues, expect sales of those daft wigs outside Old Trafford to rocket. Marouane Fellaini celebrates after the influential Belgian gave the Red Devils a 2-1 lead on Sunday . Fellaini leaps to meet Ashley Young's cross with a header to send Old Trafford into a state of euphoria . Last season, Fellaini struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford and was heavily criticised by fans . Ander-nother one comes good . Some United fans will tell you that they always knew Ander Herrera would do the business, he just needed the opportunity. Van Gaal however, will say that the box-to-box Basque boy is now thriving because he has taken on board his advice. The manager bemoaned a lack of composure from Herrera which saw him start just one Premier League match from October to mid-February. Since his return he has provided a cutting edge that United lacked until their spring rising. Van Gaal will no doubt claim similar credit for the resurgence of a reborn Ashley Young. Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera has been in impressive form for Louis van Gaal's side . The United boss congratulated Herrera after another good performance as United defeated rivals City . Figuring out what's the Mata . Juan Mata failed to live up to big expectations last season and looked like another who would prove to be a big-money flop. In fairness, it was a tall order to perform in a sinking side and some wondered if, given an apparent lack of pace, he would ever fit in. The man who arrived in a helicopter, however, finally has lift-off. Surrounded by willing runners he is now a key cog in a well-oiled machine. Loved by Chelsea fans, he is now close to being adored in Manchester. The Special Juan. Juan Mata slots the ball past goalkeeper Joe Hart to give his side a commanding 3-1 lead against City .

Do this as often as possible so you're building on an accumulative practice. 3.Use your phone as a form of healthcare: Have your key values programmed into your phone to pop up each morning and let these guide your decisions. 4. Set small sustainable habits: It's the small things you do that have the biggest impact. Look at something you already do and how can you make that into a habit. For example using your commuting time effectively by listening to an audiobook. 5. Set technology boundaries: Switch off at least an hour before you go to bed at night, and don't check work emails until you're at your desk and able to deal with them.

The document added: 'There is no authority establishing the unconditional right of minor children to reside in the United States when one of their custodial parents lives abroad.

+{"article": "There was uproar on the south coast when Nicola Cortese sacked local hero Nigel Adkins and replaced him with the relatively unknown Argentine, on English shores at least, Mauricio Pochettino. Adkins had led Southampton to back-to-back promotions into the Barclays Premier League and was fighting valiantly to keep them in it. But Cortese\u2019s decision proved to be an astute one and Pochettino took them to the next level. He increased intensity in training and in matches, altered their style of play, continued their already excellent emphasis on youth and made some shrewd signings. Mauricio Pochettino spent 16 months as Southampton manager before departing to Tottenham . The Argentine manager (right) embraces Ronald Koeman (left) as he took on his former side in October . So much so that 16 months later Daniel Levy saw him as the ideal man to take Tottenham on, too. As Pochettino prepares to return to St Mary\u2019s for the first time since he left, Sportsmail takes a look at how his two tenures compare. YOU DON\u2019T WIN ANYTHING WITH KIDS\u2026 . Pochettino came to England with a reputation for bringing through young players - at Espanyol he handed 25 of their youth products a debut. At Southampton he continued to show no fear in throwing them in, giving Premier League debuts to Calum Chambers, who then moved to Arsenal for \u00a316million and has now won senior England caps, and James Ward-Prowse, who is a first-team regular, star of England Under 21s and set for a call up by Roy Hodgson. Pochettino has maintained that approach at Tottenham. He was the first, of many managers who came before, to give Ryan Mason a proper run in the team and this season the player earned a first England cap for his displays. Calum Chambers (left) and James Ward-Prowse (right) both rose to prominence under Pochettino . Harry Kane has flourished under him, too, already around the first team before his arrival albeit, but excelling under Pochettino\u2019s guidance and scoring a sensational 31 goals in all competitions already this season. Nabil Bentaleb is another who has progressed under Pochettino after Tim Sherwood gave him a chance last season, while Pochettino also gave Harry Winks, a 19-year-old midfielder, his first appearance from the bench in the Europa League.

Training sessions under Pochettino have become almost mythical. Speak to any player who has worked under him and they all recall gruelling double and triple sessions, all throughout pre-season and maintained regularly during the campaign. At Southampton when he first arrived he took the team to a Portuguese boot camp and made the players, leading himself by example, walk over hot coals.

A day that featured a fourth Test century in only his ninth match for Gary Ballance ended with the leader of England\u2019s attack still waiting for the wicket that will bring him level with Sir Ian Botham\u2019s Test record. So well did Ballance and England bat that Alastair Cook was able to set West Indies a target of 438 in just over four sessions that would even surpass their own world record successful Test chase. Yet so solidly did West Indies begin their attempt to emerge unscathed from this first of three Tests that it became pertinent to remember that record was set in none other than Antigua and featured a century by a certain Shiv Chanderpaul. It remains highly unlikely that West Indies will today surpass the 418 for seven they made to defeat Australia at the old St John\u2019s Rec 12 years ago. Cook, though, will be grateful for the athleticism of Jordan and the off-spin of Joe Root for the wicket that means England remain firm favourites to secure today what would be a highly valuable victory for them. When West Indies grafted their way to 90 for one on this fourth day it was possible to believe that they would at least be able to escape with a draw from this match and head to Grenada next week still all square. Yet When Jordan dived to his right at wide slip and grasped the chance offered by Darren Bravo\u2019s flailing bat in Root\u2019s second over a second West Indian wicket had fallen and England ended the day with a spring in their step. They still have much to do and all results remain possible but England will be much the happier with West Indies finishing on 98 for two, still a massive 340 short of recreating Antiguan Test history. For Anderson, however, there was just more frustration as he could not strike a blow in the seven overs he has so far bowled in the second innings. Botham remains in the wings, with a nice bottle of red at the ready, to congratulate Anderson if and when the big moment comes today. England timed both the pace of their batting and their declaration to perfection, scoring quickly enough to set West Indies that world record breaking target and giving themselves 130 overs to bowl them out. And at the centre of their batting effort was Ballance who has made a start to his Test career that can genuinely be described as great. Darren Bravo nicks Joe Root's delivery as Chris Jordan gets ready to pounce . Bravo can only watch on as Jordan makes a stunning dive to seize the loose ball .

The bullion was to pay the Americans for arms shipped to Russia during one of the most crucial stages of the Second World War. Scroll down for video . The bullion was loaded onto the HMS Ulster Queen (pictured) in 1942 and was being transferred to the U.S. as payment for weapons when the case of precious metals was lost overboard . The former ferry, HMS Ulster Queen, arrived in Greenock in November 1942, after 13 days at sea and two ships sunk by German U-boats. But as a delicate operation began to transfer the cases of treasure onto a waiting boat, one slipped and fell into the muddy waters. Such a veil of secrecy existed over the whole operation it is not known if it was ever recovered. In fact, the incident has only come to light thanks to a secret diary kept by one of the Ulster Queen's engineers, and now revealed by his daughter for the first time in a new book.

The book documents how Anne, her sister Margot and her family went into hiding in a canal house. They were eventually betrayed and sent to Bergen-Belsen, where she and her sister died.

New indie music was first piped into the cabin - during boarding and disembarking - a few months ago and has quickly become a hit with passengers. In fact, many have taken to Twitter to share their approval of the new on board playlists, which feature rockers such as The xx, Haim, Phantogram and Hozier. American Airlines is targeting a younger demographic with the introduction of their new 'indie' cabin playlists . According to BuzzFeed News, on an internal blog, American Airlines representative, Barbara Delollis, discussed the company's decision. 'For 2015, they sought out a style of music that's upbeat yet not distracting, helps American stand out from the competition and appeals to younger generations,' she wrote. And it takes a lot for a track to make the cut. According to Delollis, the songs aren't just those 'you might find on the iPad/Spotify of a Gen Xer or Millenial.

Tracks from Hozier (left) and Lykke Li (right) were also hand selected to be played on board the flights . While boarding and while disembarking, specially selected indie rock music will now be piped into the cabin . The change comes on the heels of unfavourable customer feedback about the airline's previous cabin music, which were instrumental piano versions of pop songs. Brian Richardson, senior manager of American's in-flight entertainment and connectivity, also shared his thoughts about the switch on the same internal blog. 'The instrumental versions of pop songs had become tired and people were ready for a change,' he added. One Twitter user was especially excited to hear one of her favourite bands, Phantogram, on board . Washed Out, or Ernest Greene, is an electronica singer-songwriter and record producer from Georgia . Hozier's Take Me to Church was one of the biggest songs of the year - and can now be heard on board . Phantogram (left) and The xx (right) are two of the featured artists on American Airlines new cabin playlists . One customer mused that boarding his American Airlines flight felt like heading into a trendy nightclub . For this Twitter user, the best part of his flight was the boarding music playlist - and arriving safely, of course . Some passengers aren't totally excited about the change, like this man, who liked the previous elevator music . He also shared his excitement about seeing customers on board take out their smartphones and use the Shazam app to identify the songs playing.

The 27-year-old spoke of his happiness in south west London earlier this week but his form has significantly dipped from that of the player who, around Christmas, looked a dead-cert to break the Barclays Premier League record for assists. On Tuesday - his first international appearance since October - he was given just four out of 10 by one Spanish newspaper and while his season is likely to end in success with the Premier League title following a Capital One Cup win, questions remain about Fabregas' durability. Cesc Fabregas (right) captained Spain on Tuesday but his poor form continued as they lost 2-0 in Holland . The Chelsea midfielder struggled to make an impact in midfield as the European champions fell to defeat . After a brilliant start to the season at Stamford Bridge, the Spaniard's form has dropped off somewhat of late . 'I'm playing almost every minute of every match (with Chelsea) and that's what makes me happy,' he said this week. But a long, intense campaign on his return to England is taking its toll on the Spaniard. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will have been concerned to see his player toiling in midfield for the full 90 minutes at the Amsterdam ArenA, adding to the fatigue that seems to have seen his role as a key man in the Blues' title charge decline of late. Fabregas captained the European champions in the Dutch capital but struggled to make any real impact against Manchester United's Daley Blind or goalscorer Davy Klaassen. Jose Mourinho will be demanding more from his deep-lying playmaker in the Premier League run-in . Diego Costa and Fabregas enjoyed a great start together and linked up again in Chelsea's 3-2 win at Hull City . Fabregas was brilliant for Chelsea in their big win away at Swansea City in January but has struggled since . After his \u00a330million transfer to Chelsea last summer, Fabregas' former club Barcelona released a statement that pointed at his traditional post-Christmas slump. 'There has been a downward trend in his stats every season at the club,' it read. 'Despite glowing starts to each campaign, Cesc's contributions to the cause gradually decreased as each season drew to a close. 'From being someone who joined in with the attack, supplying and scoring goals, the magic tended to fade later on in each season.' And it seems to have rung true on the stats front. Having picked up 15 Premier League assists by mid-January, he has just one in five games he has played since, and just four in 15 appearances for club and country in 2015. Thierry Henry's record of 20 had looked almost certain to fall but given his current form, Fabregas is now on track to fall just short.

For years, Iowa-based writer Daniel P. Finney, ignored that at 563lbs he was severely overweight - even shrugging off strangers who called him 'fatty' as he walked down the street. But after a series of health issues, the 39-year-old became inspired to shed more than half of his body weight the natural way and chronicle his journey for The Des Moines Register. 'I know I'm responsible for my actions,' the columnist wrote for the newspaper's website. 'And I'm the only person who can really fix the problem.' Scroll down for video. Weight loss journey: Daniel P. Finney, 39, of Iowa, is sharing his efforts to lose over 300lbs; he started out weighing 563lbs and has lost 20lbs in a month . Daniel shared that he has been overweight since high school, and over the years has gotten used to the fact that he doesn't fit into seats at most public venues or booths at restaurants. As one of 79 million obese Americans, he has also become accustomed to the emotional pain of being called 'fatty' and getting verbally abused by strangers. In fact, even a diagnosis of Type II diabetes didn't alarm him enough to change his habits, and other health issues, like regularly pulling muscles in his calves, became a way of life. It wasn't until a combination of intense lower back pain - caused by carrying groceries, since Daniel said he can't carry anything that weighs much more than a magazine - and trouble sleeping led him to see a doctor. 'The pain had reached a point where I was practically immobile,' he said, adding that he could walk only 150 feet before he would have to stop. That's when an X-ray showed him that he also had arthritis and a narrowing of his spinal cavity. His doctor referred him to the Mercy Weight Loss Clinic in West Des Moines, Iowa. Now, Daniel is working with a therapist to tackle his emotional eating issues, as well as a nutritionist and a physical therapist. He also uses a calorie-counting app on his phone to track his eating, but admitted that even though he is serious about losing weight, making major lifestyle changes isn't easy. 'I don't know if I want to go through the rest of my life eating a leaf of kale and two scoops of vitamin supplements and sipping a thimble of water,' he said. 'The thought terrifies me of no more pizza, nachos, chicken wings, Mountain Dew or fries.' But he is still determined to try to lose over 300lbs the old-fashioned way, rather than go under the knife. If he chose to have gastric sleeve surgery, which makes the stomach smaller and reduces the hormones that produce cravings, he could lose as much as 60 per cent of his excess weight in a year - but Daniel said he", "summary": "Iowa-based writer Daniel P.

Brown was black and all five officers involved are white. Race hasn't been raised as a factor, but it comes amid a national debate about the deaths of black men at the hands of police. Officers used a stun gun to subdue him outside a home he had broken into, prompting the frightened children inside to call 911, according to the Hagerstown Police Department and witnesses.

The 19-year-old Handley got his big chance due to an injury to England winger Tom Briscoe and how he has seized it, with six tries in just six Super League appearances. The Rhinos simply oozed confidence on the back of their five-match winning run while Saints looked fragile as the one-time leaders crashed to a fourth defeat in their last five matches. Leeds veteran Danny McGuire crossed for one of his side's seven tries against St Helens on Friday night . Leeds have now played every other team in Super League and, with just one defeat in their opening 11 matches, will take some stopping as they eye a first league-leaders' title for six years. Handley's first try came against the run of play as he plucked out of the air Josh Jones' pass intended for debutant winger Matty Fleming of the air and sprinted 90 metres to the other end of the pitch. Handling errors by Mark Flanagan and Adam Swift ensured Saints remained on the back foot and they fell further behind on 15 minutes when hugely-impressive prop Adam Cuthbertson kept the ball alive on the last tackle and centre Joel Moon produced a delightful one-handed pass out of the back of his hands to get Handley over again. Stand-off Liam Sutclife, preferred to skipper Kevin Sinfield in Leeds' starting team, justified his selection with a superb break to create a try for full-back Zak Hardaker and his third conversion made it 18-0 in as many minutes. It got even better for the visitors when makeshift centre Carl Ablett split open the Saints defence to get veteran half-back Danny McGuire sprinting over from halfway for a fourth try and this time Sinfield, starting as a substitute for the first time for nearly 12 years, added the goal. Inspired by the never-say-die efforts of England hooker James Roby, St Helens produced their best spell of the match and pulled a try back in fortuitous circumstances when full-back Tom Makinson touched down Jon Wilkin's kick when for all it looked like a knock-on and Travis Burns added the goal. That score suddenly brought the game to life but the Rhinos struck a devastating blow to the champions deep into first-half stoppage time when a break out of defence by Kallum Watkins created the position for Sutcliffe to gift-wrap a third try for Handley courtesy of a pin-point kick to the corner. At 28-6, it looked a hopeless task for the home side but the belated introduction of Australian scrum-half Luke Walsh added a new dimension to their attack and, within four minutes of the restart, he produced a jinking run through the heart of the Leeds defence to create a try for Jordan Turner.

A mother-of-two was locked in a police cells for six hours and put on bail for seven months before being put on trial for chopping back tree branches hanging over her garden. Karen Gaynor appeared at Rotherham Magistrates Court accused of causing criminal damage by pruning the tree, after a complaint was made by her next door neighbour Kay Daye, as part of a long-running boundary dispute. But magistrates took just 15 minutes to find the 53-year-old not guilty, saying that she had acted with good intentions. The court heard how council officials had told Ms Gaynor that she could trim the tree near her home in Rotherham but physically refused to show her how much. However, the prosecution then told of how her pruning of the tree 'went way beyond the lawful excuse' and caused 'unnecessary damage'. Adam Walker, prosecuting, said that any trimming of a tree belonging to someone else could be criminal damage and that Ms Gaynor had lawful excuse, which she had exceeded. He said: 'In July 2014, Alan Hepinstall, a council mediator, visited Ms Gaynor's home. 'Mr Hepinstall told Ms Gaynor she could cut overhanging branches back vertically and in line with the boundary but did not show the defendant what he meant. 'There remains one disputed issue of fact and that's the state of the tree before it was pruned.' Neighbour Mrs Daye then told the court that before the tree had been cut last September, it was in a good condition but after she pruned it, 'it was terrible, all chopped back and dead.' However, Helen Shepherd, mitigating, said the conifer had already been dying in the middle which had created a gap but the top of the tree was healthy. Ms Gaynor confirmed to the court that she had a 90-minute meeting with three council officials at her home last July. She said she asked Mr Hepinstall to demonstrate how to cut the branches as she 'didn't want to get in any trouble.' Her daughter, Hayley, also told the court Mr Hepinstall refused to show them because he 'did not have the time.' Ms Gaynor went voluntarily to Main Street police station in Rotherham following the complaint of criminal damage but said she had been reassured she would not be arrested. She added: 'I didn't have a solicitor with me so I feel I was coaxed in. 'I went into the interview and the police read me my rights. I told them I could not understand what 'rights' meant. 'Then the officer slammed his book shut and said: 'Right, I am now going to arrest you'.

The party\u2019s deputy leader Harriet Harman, in an interview with the Daily Mail, said grandparents would be allowed to take up to four unpaid weeks off per year in order to help with childcare. She said the policy, to be unveiled in Labour\u2019s women\u2019s manifesto, to be launched today, would require a change in the law and would help millions of working families. Scroll down for video . Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman (pictured) said grandparents would be allowed to take up to four unpaid weeks off per year in order to help with childcare . More than half of mothers rely on grandparents for childcare when they first go back to work after maternity leave, and two-thirds of grandparents with grandchildren aged under 16 provide some childcare. Research suggests 1.9 million grandparents have given up a job, reduced their hours, or taken time off work to look after their grandchildren. But the proposed extension of workplace rights to millions more staff is likely to meet with a backlash from some business leaders, who will have to bear the costs of absences. They are already having to implement a new system of shared parental leave, which allows mothers and fathers to swap their time off after a new child. Critics will argue businesses cannot be expected to cope with more rights for employees as the economy recovers from the recession. Miss Harman insisted many businesses would welcome \u2018granny leave\u2019, since it would be likely to keep more older women in the workplace \u2013 and also enable their children have a better work-life balance. She said she envisaged many grandparents using the new legal right to take time off over school summer holidays, when parents otherwise have to pay for expensive childcare. \u2018In many families, grandparents play an integral part of caring for their grandchildren and for many people that\u2019s a financial necessity,\u2019 she said. \u2018But many people are working longer and today\u2019s generation of grannies are working until they\u2019re 67. They don\u2019t want to have to choose between carrying on with their job and this role they regard as so important in their lives, which is their role with their grandchildren. \u2018More and more daughters and daughters-in-law are in work, childcare is more expensive and grandmothers are now working. \u2018Instead of having to choose between retiring early and giving up work, or not being part of the daily care for their grandchildren, we\u2019re saying let\u2019s look at the leave arrangements to recognise what the pattern of family life. \u2018This is the next frontier.

'Football isn't something you plan in advance. It just happens,' he says. His 30-yard propellor kick for Sweden against England is rated by Steven Gerrard as the greatest goal he's ever seen. To be fair, Ibrahimovic's CV allows him plenty of bragging rights. The Swede with Bosnian roots has played for Ajax, Juventus, Barcelona and both Milan giants. He once won eight league titles in a row. Not bad for a poor kid whose immigrant parents moved to the roughest part of Malmo. Now he's trying to make new history with PSG.

At an inquest into his death in Plymouth, coroner Ian Arrow said: 'On the balance of probability, Mr Dawe's health was compromised (by the assault) and he died earlier than expected.'

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was given a life sentence after Derby Crown Court after jurors heard how he 'took his daughter's life' through sexual abuse. His depravity was exposed when he impregnated her when she was just a teenager, having 'poisoned' the girl against her mother.

A voyeur who used a hidden camera to film up women's skirts as they bent over freezers in Lidl has been spared jail. James Webster targeted female shoppers at the Lidl store in Maidenhead, Berkshire, as they hunted for bargains in the large chest freezers. The 35-year-old was caught after attracting the attention of a fellow shopper, who spotted him moving the bag he was carrying closer to his unsuspecting victim. Security guards discovered Webster had cut a hole in the bag through which he placed the lens of a camera so he could carry out his covert filming. He admitted outraging public decency at a previous hearing and was warned that he could face prison. But Webster walked free from court after magistrates sitting in Slough, Berkshire, ordered him to complete a sexual offences treatment programme, as part of a three year community order. Opening the case, Helen Gambrill said: 'On January 12 the defendant was in Lidl in Maidenhead and outraged the public decency, namely filming up the skirts of women in that store. 'That offence came to light when a member of the public saw the defendant and thought he was acting in a strange way.' The court heard the shopper spotted Webster positioning his satchel, with a lens protruding out, under the skirt of a woman. Webster, who at the time was living in shared accommodation in White Waltham, near Maidenhead, was confronted by security guards and tried to cover the lens before denying any wrong-doing. However, after seeing an appeal for witnesses to the crime in a local newspaper he turned himself in to police. Webster immediately showed remorse, telling a police officer, 'I threw the camera away in frustration on the day I did this.' He accepted that his actions had a sexual purpose but admitted he had no idea why he had carried out the crime. Francis Domingo, defending, said Webster had been struggling to deal with a break-up at the time and was incredibly ashamed at his actions. 'From the moment I've seen him, I can tell you this - Mr Webster has expressed nothing but sincere remorse over what took place,' he said.

During a recent TED talk, Lillian Bustle, from New Jersey, revealed that she also calls herself 'short', because she is 5'3'', and 'wife', because she is married, noting that each of these words is just an honest description of what she is. And 'fat' is just another self-descriptor for her, who insists that the word doesn't have to be used as a synonym for 'ugly'. 'We as women are programmed to tell each other that we're not fat, because to many people - both men and women - fat is the worst thing that you can be,' she said during her talk, which took place earlier this month.

Beauty comes in bigger packages, too: During her lecture, Lillian explained that 'fat' shouldn't mean the same thing as ugly . Unfortunately, Lillian added, her worldview isn't held by everyone, and she pointed to a statistic that shows that size discrimination in the workplace has risen 66 per cent in the past 30 years. And those negative perceptions of bigger people start young: The top 'magic wish' for girls 11 to 17, according to a study, is to be thinner. But there's hope. Lillian explained that, according to other studies, 'the more we're exposed to body diversity, the more we tolerate, accept, and yes, even prefer, different body types'. That promising fact is something that encourages the dancer to perform burlesque, which enables her to expose her audiences to a 'fat' body in a positive, glamorous way. Changing minds: Studies show that the more people are exposed to different body types, the more they like them; Lillian hopes exposing her audience to a fuller figure will change their perceptions . Lillian also quoted another performer named Beelzebabe, who has spoken out in the past about the fact that the body diversity of burlesque performers 'challenges us to rethink the narrow confines that society has given us for what's desirable'. It certainly challenged Lillian, who weighs in at 240lbs. She admits she was in awe at the first burlesque show she ever saw, immediately resolving to try it herself. She began performing in 2012, and says the experience has been both empowering and incredibly body-positive. While the first time she performed she was nervous about people seeing her arms jiggle, once she did it, she felt like she could 'walk through fire'. Now, whenever she's feeling insecure, she can think back to that first performance; Lillian recommends other people find a similar 'courage reference' - a moment you felt brave that you can think back to at times when you feel more insecure and afraid.

Sportsmail's ADAM CRAFTON takes a look at five things we learned from Barcelona's emphatic victory. Super Suarez . It feels rather strange now but there was a time last summer when we were all wondering whether Luis Suarez - with his penchant for a human-based snack during football matches - was worth all that money for Barcelona. There can be no question anymore. It is now 17 goals for the season and Barcelona's front three, spearheaded by Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar is the most in-form in world football. They are a frightening prospect and Suarez, after three goals in his first 12 games for Barcelona, has hit the high notes at the right time.

Prior to this game, PSG were unbeaten so far this season when playing without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, winning 11 and drawing 5 of the 16 games. It had developed a view - nourished by that inspiring performance when Ibrahbimovic was sent off at Chelsea - that PSG may be a stronger collective unit without the Swede. Yet on the grandest occasions, you still require that moment of world-class quality and Laurent Blanc really needed Edinson Cavani to stand tall here. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, pictured in action on Saturday, missed the game against Barcelona through suspension . Edinson Cavani failed to deliver the goods for PSG and looked out-of-sorts against Barcelona on Wednesday . Once more, though, the Uruguayan failed to deliver on the biggest stage. PSG fans still wince at the memory of his miss against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season and so often, he leaves you wanting more in these pivotal games. He was brilliantly denied by a Javier Mascherano challenge in the first half but you sensed he lacked the conviction to really make the most of the opportunity. He does some wonderful things, moving with pace and intelligence but when faced with a guilt-edged opening, he too often loses that defining ability to remain cool and detached when faced by a goalkeeper and the roar of the crowd. When bearing down on Mascherano in the first half, he was like a pianist whose timing has deserted him, hesitating and pontificating.

He was given a two year suspended sentence after he appeared at Leamington Justice Centre today. Anthony Mann was spared jail for killing his wife Janet after she asked him to end his life .

They're accused of reaping more than $31 million in a Ponzi scheme that promised high returns to investors from funding loans to cash-strapped pro athletes. The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the charges Monday against William D. Allen, Susan Daub and their Capital Financial Partners investment firms. Allen, 36, was a cornerback in the NFL from 2001 to 2012, playing for the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins. Accused: Former NFL cornerback Will Allen and his business partner are facing civil fraud charges from federal regulators over allegations the pair ran a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme (file photo) He was signed by the New England Patriots in March 2012 but was placed on injured reserve the following August, and he left football in March 2013. Daub, 54, is a financial professional who also lives in Florida, according to the SEC. The SEC said Allen and Daub paid about $20 million to investors but received only around $13 million in loan repayments from athletes. To make up the gap they paid investors with other investors' money rather than actual profits on the investments, in a classic Ponzi scheme, the agency said. The SEC said Allen and Daub misled investors about the terms and even the existence of some of the loans, telling them they could receive interest on the loans of up to 18 percent from the athletes. The pair used some funds from investors to cover personal charges at casinos and nightclubs and to finance other business ventures, the agency alleged. The SEC's criminal complaint quoted the website for Capital Financial as saying 'In many cases, athletes' contracts do not allow them to access their guaranteed money during the off season or early in the season when they may need a significant sum to purchase a house or car, pay the bills, or meet a financial demand. 'By pooling the resources of a network of investors, CFP gives athletes access to money when they need it while providing investors with solid, short-term returns on investment.' The SEC said its lawsuit against Allen and Daub was filed under seal in federal court in Boston last week and unsealed on Sunday. The agency won an asset freeze against them from the court last week.

Taking to task: Alex Stock, right, who was portrayed as a callous social climber in Rolling Stone's UVA discredited campus rape story said the magazine should be held accountable . Rolling Stone's reporting was torn apart by professors from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, who pointed out 'basic, even routine' failures in how the story was prepared. The most important failing, they said, was not contacting Stock and another student, Ryan Duffin, who spoke out alongside Stock in an interview with Fox News's Megyn Kelly. Stock and Duffin - who were referred to by pseudonyms in the story - would have been able to tell Erdley that there were serious inconsistencies between what Jackie had told them and the story the article credulously repeated.

Still employed: Rolling Stone will not take any action against Sabrina Rubin Erdely, whose reporting was roundly discredited .

In fact, they revealed, Jackie had no blood on her or obvious wounds - and the friends immediately suggested going to the police, which Jackie said she was not prepared for.

When asked whether Jackie herself should have her identity revealed, Stock said: 'I don't see any point in further shaming her.

I think the Rolling Stone absolutely should be held accountable.'

The system is broken and it desperately needs fixing if England are ever going to compete in limited-overs cricket again. Make no mistake, sacking Paul Downton does not mean some magic wand has been waved and all will be well. There are deep systemic problems. Too many of the current selectors and coaches are from the old guard and have failed to keep pace with the dramatic changes that have occurred in one-day cricket in recent years.

In my view there is still too much bad blood around for Kevin Pietersen to return, with the fall-out from the book causing untold damage to so many relationships that it just seems inconceivable for him to return. Nasser Hussain believes the sacking of Cook as one-day captain was a slow and protracted affair . I hate it when things become about one individual and believe me, everything that has gone wrong with English cricket has not been down to the handling of Kevin Pietersen; however badly that has been done. But what is does highlight is the continued fear of the maverick player. From David Gower to Kevin Pietersen, English cricket has shown distrust for anyone who does not conform or fit into a safe stereotype even though all the players who are thriving on the world stage are non-conformists who do things differently.

MC Hammer acted as one of his numerous mentors. Each prisoner that applies to the scheme must complete an application process, as they would for a job, explaining their history and their ambitions, plus one 'essay question' about their life.

A banking fraudster with links to Cherie Blair was killed instantly in a plane crash minutes after he sent a text saying his aircraft was going down, an investigation has revealed. Muhammad Naviede, who was jailed in 1995 for nine years for a \u00a345million fraud, died after his Piper Tomahawk aircraft plummeted into a field near Padbury in Buckinghamshire. The 60-year-old, whose daughter is a former X-Factor contestant, sent a text to a relative shortly before the crash on August 20 last year saying: 'I'm in a plane out of control and it's going down.' An investigation by the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) said the message was 'unusual' as the leased plane did not enter a spin until after it was sent. The experienced pilot had also tried to call the same relative before writing 148 characters within 25 seconds in a text - something the AAIB said would require 'considerable dexterity'. The report said: 'The pilot had accumulated considerable experience in a variety of aircraft in the years that he had been flying. He was familiar with the Piper Tomahawk aircraft and was in recent flying practice. 'It was suggested in his final text message that he had lost control of the aircraft, to such an extent that he did not expect to survive. 'However, after this message was sent, the aircraft continued in flight for more than two minutes, before entering a spin from which it did not recover.'

However, your beautiful bouquet might look stunning to begin with, but it will soon fade in just a few days, a week at the most. But that doesn't have to be the case, as there are simple tricks you can use to prolong the life of your blooms. Scroll down for video . With simple and sensible tricks recommended by a professional florist, you can make your flowers last . While there are plenty of DIY 'solutions' - vodka, aspirin and pennies - to keep a bouquet fresh, most of these things can actually damage the delicate flowers. Using some simple and sensible tricks recommended by a professional florist, you can make your blooms last a lot longer. You don't need to be a professional florist to pull these off, just read our guide and try it out. From spraying them in hairspray to keeping them far away from fruit and electricals, we've gathered a handy list of seven unlikely tips from Serenata Flowers. Tip number 1: Keep your flowers well-groomed. Trim a half-inch of the lower stem so that water can be absorbed freely. Use a sharp, unserrated knife and cut on a slant - exposing more surface area. Trim just half an inch off the stems of your flowers with a sharp knife . Warming then cooling the flowers 'hardens' them for longer-lasting freshness . 2. Harden the flowers, which speeds up the water update through the stems. After cutting the stems, place the flowers in 43.5C water. Leave to sit in a cool location for up to two hours. 3. Preserve your flowers with hairspray. Remove them from the vase and lightly spray the petal undersides while holding the can several inches away. Hang the flowers upside down to dry before returning to the vase. 4. Don't mix fruit and flowers as some fruits - particularly kiwis, apples and bananas - produce ethylene, which rots nearby plants and fruits. Delicate petals can be kept in place with a light spritz of hairspray . 5. Keep your flowers well-fed - and 7Up or Sprite could do the job. Mix together one cup of water, one cup of 7Up and half a teaspoon of household bleach. If more liquid is required, increase the amounts proportionally. 6. Clean your vases. Vases in regular use often contain microorganisms that will kill of your flowers. First, fill the vase with hot water and mix in a tablespoon of baking soda and white vinegar. Scrub the insides with a cloth, empty the mixture and dry before housing new flowers. 7. Keep flowers away from appliances. TV and computers give off heat, which can lead to flowers becoming dehydrated. Place flowers in a cool spot where they'll receive plenty of light. Make sure they have plenty of water and mist the petals daily. If you want to ripen an avocado, put it next to your bananas, they say. Do the opposite for fresh flowers .

Joan Ashton has been a resident of Aneurin Bevan Court in Duffryn, Newport for around eight months. The elderly woman's son, Steve, visits her regularly there where he says his mother is well-looked after by carers who bring her meals.

Whistleblower Tony Brookes, a former detective who tried to investigate the abuse, said money was diverted away from protecting the children from rape, trafficking and beatings in order to pursue so-called \u2018priority crimes\u2019. The offences, which included car crime, were considered crucial for satisfying a target culture introduced by the last Labour government. Now it has emerged the same targets were also linked to performance-related pay for top officers at South Yorkshire Police. Scroll down for video . Police ignored the sexual abuse of hundreds of young girls because they were too busy chasing Labour crime targets that would earn bonuses for senior staff (picture posed by model) It meant that, while young girls suffered heinous abuse at the hands of sex gangs in Sheffield and Rotherham, top brass could have had a perverse incentive to instruct their staff to look elsewhere. The targets have been scrapped by the Tories amid concern they were harming policing. Tory parliamentary candidate Michael Ellis, a former member of the home affairs select committee, said: \u2018Labour\u2019s grossly irresponsible obsession with targets led to a perverted sense of priorities whereby senior officers could get bonuses for prioritising car crime while hundreds of young girls were being abused with impunity.\u2019 The first details of the scandal emerged earlier this year when papers from South Yorkshire Police, relating to child abuse in Sheffield, were leaked to the BBC. The documents and the testimony of former officers suggested the force failed to pursue a number of child sexual exploitation inquiries and ignored intelligence that girls as young as 12 were being raped. A copy of a document from the force\u2019s intelligence database detailed more than 200 girls suspected of being sexually exploited. It listed more than 320 men accused of carrying out abuse, mainly between 2007 and 2010. Allegations included rapes, traffickings, child abduction and threats to scald girls by holding kettles of boiling water over them. The alleged victims were aged between 12 and 15 while their abusers included Iraqi Kurds, white British, black British, and men of Pakistani heritage. The dossier by Professor Alexis Jay (pictured) into the Rotherham scandal described how South Yorkshire Police were \u2018more focused on dealing with offences such as burglary and vehicle crime\u2019 than child abuse . In most cases, the files suggest there is no evidence police took any action. In 2007, after an investigation led to two Iraqi Kurds being convicted of abuse, officers asked for resources to mount a much wider investigation in Sheffield. Mr Brookes said he asked for \u00a324,000 and was given \u00a316,000. But after spending only half that amount he was told the entire budget had gone. He says the other \u00a38,000 was diverted to spend chasing \u2018district priorities, to investigate robbery, burglary and car crime\u2019. These priorities were tied to Home Office targets introduced by Labour in 2002.

A grinning child rapist able to live streets away from his victim for years afterwards because of a bungled police investigation has finally been jailed for five years. Arman Nejad, 23, dragged the teenager into his house and abused her in October 2009 as she walked to a youth club in Moss Side, Manchester. The girl, now 18, eventually went to police in February 2010 and was interviewed by officers who then mysteriously dropped the case. Three years later police visited her about a different matter and she asked why her rape case was shelved, and detectives then arrested and charged Nejad with rape. Today Greater Manchester Police admitted 'unacceptable delays and failures' allowed the rapist to live as a free man just streets away from the girl he attacked. She has made a formal complaint about the conduct of the officers involved, and the Independent Police Complaints Commission is aware of the case, which will be investigated internally. Superintendent Simon Retford, from GMP's Professional Standards Branch, said: 'There were unacceptable delays in bringing the case to court after the initial complaint was made. 'The victim received a service that I believe fell below the level which we strive to offer to victims of rape and other sexual abuse. 'An investigation is underway to establish the reasons and circumstances around our initial response and apparent lack of action in progressing this case.' In October 2009, the victim was walking along Caythorpe Street, Moss Side with her friends and all were making their way to a nearby youth club. Nejad called the girl over his house on false pretences, separating her from her friends.

Once her friends had walked out of view he dragged her into the house and raped her.

One included a claim that a vulnerable child was able to enter the home of a suspected paedophile, who was already under surveillance. In 2013, the same year Nejad was finally arrested, GMP chief constable Sir Peter Fahy admitted that six out of every ten crimes were not properly investigated. Greater Manchester's officers only 'actively pursue' criminals in 40 per cent of cases reported to them, he said, with detectives effectively shelving or 'screening out' the rest because there are no witnesses or clues. It meant that more than 106,000 crimes in Greater Manchester were all but given up by the force as lost causes. Today the force said that it takes sexual abuse seriously.

Red squirrels have returned to one of Britain's most stunning beauty spots after a 16-year absence. Native reds have been almost wiped out in the country, except for a few pockets in the north of England, the Isle of Wight and Scotland after rival grey squirrels arrived from America in the 19th century. Numbers of the reds, popularly illustrated in the Beatrix Potter Squirrel Nutkin books, have been rapidly dwindling thanks in large part to the squirrel pox virus carried by greys. But now, red squirrels have been spotted in Windermere, in the picturesque Lake District. Experts say a lack of habitats caused them to disappear from the area. Since 1952, 95% of red squirrels have been wiped out in England and Wales. But Bob Cartwright, of charity Westmorland Red Squirrels, said they are returning to woods in the area - and some have even been spotted in the town centre. He said: 'So far this year there have been seven sightings, including just a few weeks ago a red seen bouncing around in Ellerthwaite Square right in the centre of Windermere. 'It is pretty clear that they are here in good numbers.' Disease, habitat loss and competition for food from non-native grey squirrels have been blamed for the decline in reds. Recent UK studies of 300 woodlands have also shown red squirrels are battling against the greys with numbers rising steadily. Scroll down for video . Experts say there have been a number of sightings of red squirrels in Windermere, in the picturesque Lake District (pictured) Scientists think endangered red squirrels have finally achieved immunity to the killer pox carried by their grey rivals after 140 years. Meanwhile Anglesey, North Wales, is now a grey squirrel-free zone, wildlife experts claim after a controversial 20-year eradication programme on the island. Grey squirrels have been blamed for carrying diseases which have endangered the population of red squirrels. More than 700 red squirrels are now thought to live on Anglesey, with many crossing the Menai Strait to settle in Bangor. In 2013, academics found a red nicknamed 'Clark Kent', after Superman's alter ego, who was stricken with the deadly 'parapox virus' and managed to fight it off and live. The research, carried out by the University of Liverpool, was heralded as a major breakthrough as it proved that reds can build immunity. Rachel Miller, Red Squirrel field officer at the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire and North Merseyside, said: 'It could be a few years down the line until we know for sure if red squirrels have any long-term immunity or not, as there is much more research that needs to be done.

+{"article": "Alarmed by a rash of explosions and injuries caused when amateurs make hash oil, lawmakers in Colorado and Washington are considering spelling out what's allowed when it comes to making the concentrated marijuana at home. The proposals came after an increase in home fires and blasts linked to homemade hash oil. In Colorado, at least 30 people were injured last year in 32 butane explosions involving hash oil \u2014 nearly three times the number reported throughout 2013, according to officials with the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, a state-federal enforcement program. Scroll down for video . Nicholas Broms, who was involved in a drug-related explosion last November, poses for a photo showing his burn scars from the explosion in Portland, Ore. Washington's legal marijuana law in 2012 did not permit the production of hash or even edibles at home; it technically remains a felony even to use weed purchased at a state-licensed store to make brownies. Nevertheless, many people have done it. Federal prosecutors in Seattle have brought charges in five cases where hash oil operations blew up, including at one apartment complex where an 87-year-old former mayor of Bellevue died after sustaining an injury while trying to escape a fire that started in another unit. People make hash oil at home for the same reasons they make beer, wine or booze \u2014 to save money, make it to personal taste, or as a hobby. Though there are safer methods, such as soaking marijuana in a vegetable-based glycerin, one common practice is to force a solvent such as butane or propane gas or liquid through leafy cannabis, a process that separates its psychoactive material from buds, leaves and stems. After the extraction, the hash-maker then releases the gas or boils off the liquid, leaving behind marijuana's psychoactive material in a potent goop. The resulting product \u2014 called hash oil or shatter or wax in even more concentrated form \u2014 can be used in vaporizers or added to foods without the grassy taste raw pot imparts. Without proper ventilation, though, the gases can pool in a room, where a spark from an appliance can trigger a severe explosion, knocking buildings off their foundation in some cases. Washington lawmakers are proposing to allow limited home hash production, though butane or other explosive gases would be banned except for use by commercial producers. Safer methods would be OK, and adults would be allowed to use cooking oil, butter or similar substances to make edibles. Alarmed by a rash of explosions caused by amateur hash production, Colorado and Washington lawmakers are considering limits on making the marijuana concentrate at home . 'We have a little problem here with people blowing themselves up,' said Washington state Sen. Ann Rivers, the Republican sponsor of that state's measure.

A British nuclear submarine suffered \u00a3500,000 damage in a collision while tracking Russian vessels, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The 5,300-ton HMS Talent limped back to port with a huge dent and will be out of action for several months. Royal Navy top brass are investigating the incident. Last night, defence officials refused to disclose exact details of the crash \u2013 including where or when it happened \u2013 but they were adamant that HMS Talent struck \u2018floating ice\u2019 rather than a Russian sub. But the collision, which ripped a 6ft hole at the top of the conning tower, comes at a time of heightened tension between Britain and Russia in the airspace over the North Sea and beneath the waves. Britain is understood to be mounting frequent patrols of the North Sea and areas as far north as the Arctic Circle, while the Russians have increased their submarine activity by half in the past 18 months. Navy sources say the damage to the nuclear-powered submarine, which will cost as estimated \u00a3500,000 to repair, is consistent with striking an object while trying to surface. Surfacing can be a risky manoeuvre because sonar equipment on a submarine tends to look ahead for threats rather than above. In addition, radar scanners do not work underwater. After the crash, engineers from HMS Talent\u2019s 130-strong crew found that the impact had devastated the submarine\u2019s outer layer of acoustic tiles. These square-shaped 2in-thick tiles minimise the vessel\u2019s transmission of sound waves and other signals that could reveal her position. The Royal Navy\u2019s explanation that HMS Talent struck ice was also used to explain damage to British submarines during the Cold War which was later found to have been caused by enemy vessels. In 1981, the crew of HMS Sceptre were ordered to say they had hit an iceberg after their collision with the Russian submarine K-211. HMS Talent, which was launched in 1988, is a \u2018hunter-killer\u2019 submarine used to attack ships and other submarines, and also to perform a surveillance role. She is fitted with Tomahawk cruise missiles, cameras and thermal imaging periscopes. In 2009, she suffered loss of primary and alternative power supplies to her nuclear reactors.

Prosecutors argued Yandamuri hatched the kidnapping plot to pay for a gambling habit. They said he was mired in gambling debts and told police he committed the crime after losing at least $15,000 at a casino. He told investigators he panicked after the grandmother, who had opened her family's apartment door to him, was killed in a struggle over a kitchen knife he had carried.

That, of course, was the virtual world of Football Manager. On Friday, Boro defender Gibson \u2013 now 22 - can help steer his uncle's club back towards the big time for real. The England Under 21 star was a kid in the playground when his dad's brother was splashing the cash on Juninho, Alen Boksic and Gaizka Mendieta, before that there had been the likes of Fabrizio Ravanelli, Emerson and Paul Gascoigne. Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson, 22, is dreaming of a return to the Premier League for his boyhood club . His uncle, Boro chairman Steve Gibson, has overseen some of the most significant times in the club's history . Midfielder Juninho (right) is widely considered to be one of Middlesbrough's greatest-ever players, and starred in Gibson's foray into computerised football management during his teenage years . Steve Gibson helped save the Teessiders from liquidation in 1986 and eight years later took control, his investment seeing them win the Carling Cup in 2004 and reach the final of the UEFA Cup in 2006. But six consecutive seasons outside of the Premier League has proved a financial strain. That is why Gibson readily labels the televised clash at Norwich City \u2013 one point above them and second in the Championship - as the biggest match in the club's history. 'The way the Premier League is and the gap financially makes this our biggest game ever,' said the centre-back. 'If we get back in the Premier League it's different to the last time we were there. It has more of an impact, financially, than what the cup finals did. 'It's \u00a3100m for going up, that is irreplaceable. It will have a bigger effect on the club and the town than winning the Carling Cup.' Nunthorpe-born Gibson is a lifelong Boro fan. He was there when they beat Bolton at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium to lift the first trophy in the club's history and again in Eindhoven two years later when Sevilla ran out 4-0 winners. He eclipsed all of that, however, in his bedroom at home. 'I was always Middlesbrough boss on Football Manager \u2013 and I was pretty good,' he recalled.

Along with a thriving cultural scene, there are good restaurants, great shopping and exciting nightlife. This week saw the opening of Centre Pompidou Malaga, the first of several popup versions of the famous Parisian gallery planned outside France. It is housed in a low-slung white building topped with a giant glass cube in the trendy harbour area. When I turn up, a large crowd is queuing to pay the \u00a36.70 entrance fee to view 90 works by artists such as Miro, Magritte and Picasso on loan from the Pompidou in France, plus an exhibition exploring dance and choreography. There's a brilliant room of self-portraits, including a Francis Bacon and Frida Kahlo.

Next door is the Malaga Automobile Museum, an extraordinary celebration of cars, fashion and art. By 2016, a Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology will complete the set.

The spectacular crash on Saturday wrote a green Lamborghini off and wrecked a red Ferrari. Both drivers have now been charged by the local Public Security Bureau with dangerous driving and have been detained, according to the People's Daily Online. The green Lamborghini and red Ferrari - which are worth a combined total of \u00a31.3million - are believed to have been racing through the underpass in Beijing when the drivers lost control and crashed . The green Lamborghini was completely wrecked during the crash and the front end was completely severed . Neither driver was hurt but a female passenger in the Lamborghini was taken to the local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Although both of the drivers claimed the accident was caused by the slippery road conditions at the entrance of the tunnel, the state of the crash scene led Chinese internet users to speculate that the pair had been 'drag racing', which is illegal in China. The crash occurred two hours before 'Fast and Furious 7' broke the record for midnight screenings on its launch in China, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The 20-year-old driver of the Ferrari, Yu, from Changchun City in Jilin, and the 20-year-old driver of the green Lamborghini, Tang, a native of Beijing, are both reported to be unemployed - which fuelled more backlash from people online considering the two cars are worth in excess of 12 million yuan - or \u00a31.3 million.

Eyewitnesses said that halfway through the 1.2km tunnel the speeding Lamborghini swerved suddenly and lost control. The Ferrari also lost control not long after and both cars caused extensive damage to the guard rail and a 10 metre section of the tunnel wall. The cost of the damage is expected to be recouped from the drivers. The People's Daily reports that the wreckage of the Lamborghini was around 100 metres from the Ferrari and that there were no brake marks visible on the road.

Ed Miliband yesterday confirmed he would press on with controversial plans to cap rents despite warnings from housing experts, business and even Labour figures that they will backfire.

But the Generation Rent campaign group said his plans were \u2018riddled with loopholes\u2019 and may make tenants\u2019 lives worse. Under the proposals, landlords would have to offer three-year tenancies and would be banned from raising rent above inflation during this time. Alex Hilton, director of Generation Rent, said long tenancies were welcome but the proposal would give landlords an incentive to evict their tenants and would not keep rent down, adding: \u2018This is because they have no plans to limit rent rises between tenancies \u2013 or after your first three years are up. \u2018Worse than this, Labour\u2019s planning new ways for landlords to evict you within that period, for example to sell your home or get it back for other reasons. These loopholes are scary when you think they\u2019re attached to a big financial incentive to use them \u2013 because that\u2019s the only way they will be able to put rent up in the first three years.\u2019 In another loophole, hundreds of thousands of properties owned by buy-to-let investors could be excluded altogether. Most buy-to-let mortgages specify maximum tenancies of one year. Labour sources said these landlords would be able to offer short tenancies \u2018where contractually obliged\u2019. Senior Tories called the proposal \u2018drivel\u2019 and said it would suppress house building and push rents up. Chancellor George Osborne described the plan as a \u2018totally economically-illiterate statement that grabs headlines, but is dismissed by every expert who looks at it\u2019.

It suggests that the entire Earth was subjected to a \u2018deep freeze\u2019, with the oceans turning into ice 1,000ft (300 metres) thick. This means that, were life to survive at the time, it would likely have had to remain in the water deep underground, below this icy crust. On other worlds in the solar system such as Europa, we see a similar icy crust - and are fairly confident that it, too, has a liquid ocean underground. A frozen world, similar to Earth, that is circling just one of a pair of stars could improve the chances of finding alien life. The planet, located 3,000 light years away, is twice as massive as Earth and almost exactly the same distance from its parent star as the Earth is from the sun. Named OGLE-2013-BLG-0341LBb, the planet\u2019s host star shines 400 times less brightly than the sun. It has been described as the real-life version of ice planet Hoth featured in Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back. But astronomers from Ohio State University pointed out that the same planet orbiting a sun-like star would be in the 'habitable zone' where conditions are potentially suitable for liquid surface water and life. And based on this latest 'Snowball Earth', it could suggest there are many more planets that resemble ours 2.4 billion years ago. 'These events are fascinating. We had times where we really had a completely frozen Earth,\u2019 Dr Herwartz told Discovery News. \u2018If you go now to tropical regions and you imagine thick glaciers and all the oceans frozen, it\u2019s crazy I think, but it appears to be that this has happened.\u2019 This theory can also help explain a period in Earth\u2019s history known as the Great Oxygen Transition, 2.2 billion years ago. Here, oxygen levels began to rapidly rise from 0.0001 per cent of present levels to the 21 per cent of the atmosphere we see today. Rapid melting across the entirety of Earth could have given rise to these increased levels of oxygen in the atmosphere. Evidence for this latest theory comes from oxygen isotopes studied in rocks in China and Russia. The exact causes for why the entire Earth seemingly froze over are not clear, though.

The car shape originally designed to help French farmers transport their sheep to market now accounts for a staggering two in every three cars sold in the UK. And it is just as popular across the world from Munich to Mexico City thanks to its practical design, economy and comfort. The model credited with being the world\u2019s first ever hatchback was the Renault 16 unveiled in April 1965 . The Renault 4: the forerunner to the Renault 16 was first designed to allow French farmers to transport sheep . The model credited with being the world\u2019s first ever hatchback was unveiled to the public with the launch of France\u2019s Renault 16 in April 1965. Now it accounts for a staggering two thirds of all new cars sold in Britain and a majority of those sold in most other markets from Europe to Japan and, increasingly, the US too. In the UK, seven of the top ten sellers last year - including the top five - are classed as hatchbacks. This is defined as a car which has a boot that lifts up from the roof but the outline of the car is no bigger than if it were a standard saloon (so estate cars and 4x4s are not classed as hatchbacks for instance.) Yet when the first one went on sale in 1965, the name hatchback did not even exist. It only came into use in the 70s as an alternative to the American term \u2018liftback\u2019 for such cars. The Renault 16 was the first mass produced hatchback in the world. It was described by then Renault president Pierre Dreyfus as a \u2018voiture a vivre\u2019 - a car for every aspect of life. Britain\u2019s answer to the pioneering Renault was the very similar looking, but poorly built, Austin Maxi (pictured) The very popular Austin Mini Metro by Austin Rover was launched in 1980 and then relaunched in 1995 . Like the earlier Renault 4, the boot was hinged to the roof but unlike the R4, the chassis had not been extended to facilitate this. There had been clique luxury cars with a similar boot but the R16 was revolutionary for a mass produced car with a hatch at the back and seats which folded down.

+{"article": "The distinctive patterns on butterfly wings really do help protect the insects by mimicking the eyes of predators. While scientists have long suspected the role played by eye-spots found on the wings of many butterflies were an example of mimicry, it has never been clearly tested. Recently researchers suggested that the eye spots may simply scare away predators by confusing them or overloading their senses. Owl butterflies (left) have eye spots that mimic those of pigmy owls (right) to scare off predators like great tits. While scientists have long suspected the role played by eye-spots found on the wings of many butterflies were an example of mimicry, it has never been clearly tested . But a new piece of research by biologists at Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 University in Finland claims to have settled the debate. They say that eye-spots on the wings of butterflies do in fact mimic the eyes of larger and more threatening species, like owls. Having bright colours and distinguishing features is a common way for insects to scare away predators like birds. Often they help to lure them away from vital body parts or confuse them. However, this only works on predators that hunt using sight while bats tend to be immune to such devices. Now scientists have found that a moth has an unusual evolutionary adaptation that allows it to confuse the ultrasound used by bats. The luna moth has two tails that extend for more than an inch beyond its body. Scientists in the US showed that these appendages produce a confusing acoustic signature in the bats echolocation. It makes the bats target the end of the tails rather than the moth itself. This helps to keep other birds that might normally eat the insects away. The team were finally able to test the theory by showing great tits pictures of owl butterflies that had been digitally altered, and watching their reaction. Images where the eye spots had been removed from the butterfly wings did not stop the birds from snatching a mealworm snack below the picture. However, when pictures that had not been digitally altered flashed on the screen, the birds were more weary. And the researchers found the butterfly eye spots may even be more terrifying to the great tits than the real animal they are mimicking. When shown pictures of a pygmy owl with its eyes open the tits reacted strongly and kept away, but their reaction was not as strong as with the butterfly markings. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Dr Johanna Mappes and her colleagues said: 'In this study, the presumed model - owl eyes - and the mimic eyespots appeared to elicit similar reactions both in terms of response type - interest versus aversion - and its intensity - startle versus flee - adding support to the eye-mimicry hypothesis. The researchers flashed up digitally manipulated images of an owls face and the owl butterfly to see how great tits reacted. In some images they removed the owls eyes (far left) or removed the eye spots (far right)", "summary": "Biologists at Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 University in Finland studied how wild great tits reacted to images of the wings of butterflies and the faces of owls .

+{"article": "It's hard to know quite what motivated the Duke of York to rescue teenage sex slaves in India at the same time he faced damning allegations that he had slept with one in America. But one thing is for certain: it definitely took guts. With a remarkable initiative combining the unlikely bedfellows of fashion and compassion, it can be revealed that Prince Andrew has personally changed the fate of more than 100 vulnerable young women in Calcutta. Rescued from brothels and domestic servitude, child labour and human trafficking, the girls have been taught tailoring and silk printing through a charity called Key to Freedom. Moved: Prince Andrew during his visit to an Indian refuge in 2012, which inspired him to form the charity . Their kimonos, duster coats, pyjamas, scarves and make-up bags are sold online and on the British High Street by Topshop, with the proceeds paid back to the women as a salary. What makes this new mission all the more compelling is it has emerged just months after Andrew was mired in allegations that he had enjoyed an improper relationship with American \u2018sex slave\u2019 Virginia Roberts, who had been working for his former friend Jeffrey Epstein, an American billionaire. The claims, furiously denied by the Duke, have now been struck out of American court records, effectively clearing his name. He was inspired to launch Key to Freedom after visiting a girls\u2019 refuge on an official trip to India. He came up with the idea less than an hour after leaving a home run by the Women\u2019s Interlink Foundation and swiftly donated \u00a310,000 seed capital to fund the first bales of silk. Speaking exclusively to The Mail on Sunday yesterday, the Duke said: \u2018I was incredibly impressed with the work of the Women\u2019s Interlink Foundation during my Diamond Jubilee visit to India in May 2012. \u2018I could see that it would be possible to complement [founder and chairman] Aloka Mitra\u2019s important work in supporting vulnerable young women to develop a skill to become economically active by helping find a route to market for their products. It is incredible to see what the team has achieved. Roberts had been working for Andrew's former friend Jeffrey Epstein, an American billionaire (pictured together above) \u2018I am proud to have helped their products find a market and be sold in the United Kingdom. \u2018Most importantly, this has helped the Women\u2019s Interlink Foundation support more young people to develop skills, which is an important area of focus for my work.\u2019 One of the young women who moved him so deeply was Anita, now 19. She was chosen to show the Duke how to block-print silk when he visited the refuge. In return, he left two copies of Little Red\u2019s Summer Adventure, a book written by his former wife Sarah.

Dedryck Boyata and John Guidetti are also ready to move. Milner\u2019s issue is not about money but understood to be about how many games he starts. He has figured in 27 Premier League matches this season but started just 14. The possibility of him departing means City have had to redress their buying strategy. Their track record of buying British has been questionable when you consider the impact made by Jack Rodwell, Sinclair and Adam Johnson.

'However, from two years old, provided they\u2019re not underweight, they can have low-fat skim milk, but up until two they should have full fat milk, proper yoghurt and full fat everything. 'Yet a lot of people give them fruit and vegetables for far too long and they don\u2019t have the nutrients they need to grow so children as a result become deficient in vitamins and minerals.' 'So it's really important babies have iron rich food, essential fatty acids and nutrient dense foods - which is basically the opposite of bone broth.

Murray made it clear that if the responsibilities of parenthood prevent Mauresmo from fulfilling her 26-week commitment, then their relationship may have to go the same way. \u2018Right now Amelie does all the major competitions but if she doesn\u2019t want to do loads of time, I don\u2019t find it beneficial if someone just comes in for the major competitions and doesn\u2019t do any of the training, any of the other events,\u2019 Murray said. The plan is for Mauresmo to work with him up until Wimbledon, although by then she will be in the latter stages of pregnancy. Murray originally considered Bjorkman as a replacement for Lendl so if their current trial works well, it is likely he will take a more significant role than as an assistant to Mauresmo. It quickly became clear to Murray that the respected Swede might be used in an increased capacity after Mauresmo told him in February that, eight months after they had formalised their agreement, she was expecting \u2014 initially saying she had \u2018something personal\u2019 to tell him. \u2018I thought, \u201cSomething personal to tell you?\u201d I thought maybe she\u2019s pregnant,\u2019 Murray said. \u2018She normally goes to the gym all the time but she didn\u2019t train once through Australia.

The first ever mid-air refuelling of an unmanned aircraft was today successfully achieved by the Navy's X-47B drone. The Salty Dog 502 vehicle is one of two Unmanned Carrier Air Vehicle demonstrators (UCAS-D) on the X-47B program. Scroll down for video . The first mid-air refuelling of an unmanned aircraft was today successfully achieved by the Navy's X-47B drone.

Earlier today, it plugged its in-flight refuelling (IFR) probe into the hose of an Omega Air KC-707 tanker off the coast of Maryland. During the test, it trailed the Omega Air Refuelling 707 tanker from a mile off before using optical sensors and a video camera to monitor its approach to within 20 feet (six metres). Depending on the weather, the aerial refuelling demonstrations are due to last throughout the weekend. The drone is about the size of an F/A-18 Super Hornet, weighs in at 44,000 lb (20,000kg) and has a 62ft (20m) wingspan. Salty Dog 502 is one of two Unmanned Carrier Air Vehicle demonstrators (UCAS-D) on the X-47B program . The goal of each of the refuelling demonstrations is to transfer 3,000lbs of fuel in five minutes. But this is the final test of the historic X-47B, which will now be donated to museums despite, according to Foxtrot Alpha, only having 20 per cent of their flight hours used up. Refuelling in flight is the last hurdle for the Northrop Grumman-built jet, claims to Captain Beau Duarte, program manager of the Navy's Unmanned Carrier Aviation. With a wingspan of 130 feet, the Triton is wider than commercial airliners such as the Boeing 737 . An airliner-sized Navy surveillance drone made its first transcontinental flight in September, flying 11 hours across the US. The cross-country test was the first for the MQ-4C Triton, which will play a role in the Navy's planned Broad Area Maritime Surveillance program. The drone can provide blanket surveillance for the Navy as part of the branch's Broad Area Maritime Surveillance program. Triton uses 'radar, infrared sensors and advanced cameras to provide full-motion video and photographs' to Navy personnel. Northrop Grumman says the unmanned aircraft also has a capacity to fly up to 28 hours at a time and surveil 1million square miles in a single mission. With a wingspan of 130 feet, the Triton is wider than commercial airliners such as the Boeing 737. Mid-air refuelling is difficult enough for human pilots, but the ability for drones to do it could eman they only ever have to land for equipment updates. The Navy envisions the X-47B's successors, the UCLASS drones, as making 24-7 patrols around aircraft carriers. 'We will have met all of the program's mission objectives and will [take] those lessons learned, fold them into the UCLASS performance specification,' Duarte said.

I tend to rush them a little bit but would like to think I have more skills than just raw pace.\u2019 Primary among those skills is a mastery of reverse swing. It was no coincidence that his first three County Championship appearances for Durham all came at Trent Bridge, where the abrasive nature of the square roughs the ball up perfectly for exponents of the art.

Grant Allen, 38, of Harlow, Essex, travelled first class around the world with his girlfriend Gaynor Godwin and bought a holiday home on the Costa Del Sol, Spain, using criminally gained money. The pair stayed at top hotels on at least eight holidays costing \u00a330,000 between 2006 and 2010, including a trip to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2009 worth \u00a37,600. Grant Allen (left), 38, of Harlow, Essex, travelled round the world with his girlfriend, Gaynor Godwin (right) using money from a mortgage fraud scam. Edward Byatt (behind Allen, left) was also involved in the fraud . Allen also splurged \u00a38,700 on a holiday to Florida in 2009 when he took his girlfriend and children to Disney World. The Old Bailey heard that he hid the fraud by buying and trading properties and funnelling large amounts of cash through his unwitting girlfriend's bank account. The couple lived in a \u00a3700,000 home in Rayne, Essex - where \u00a333,000 was spent on landscaping the garden - and also owned a property in Hertfordshire, bought with the proceeds of the fraud. When the home in Essex was raided in 2011, detectives found large piles of cash including \u00a31,000 which was stashed in the extractor fan in the kitchen. Judge Stephen Kramer QC today ordered Allen to pay back \u00a3491,000 as the proceeds of crime. Allen, who was jailed for six years for mortgage fraud and money laundering, could face another three years behind bars if he fails to pay the money back. Allen splurged \u00a38,700 on a holiday to Florida in 2009 when he took his girlfriend and children to Disney World . However, the court heard he has assets including homes in Essex, Bishop Stortford, and southern Spain which he can sell to cover the repayment. A second defendant, Edward Byatt, 39, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, was ordered to pay back \u00a310,000 for his part in the fraud. His name was on the deeds for the home in Rayne, despite Allen living there with Ms Godwin and their young son. \u2018Grant Allen used other people in the laundering process. He is somehow involved in criminal behaviour,\u2019 prosecutor Charles Evans told the trial in 2013. \u2018The money would have been criminal proceeds.\u2019 During his trial, Allen claimed he worked as a meat trader and a builder, and suggested his funds had come from successful gambling ventures. The pair stayed at top hotels on at least eight holidays costing \u00a330,000 between 2006 and 2010, including a trip to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2009 worth \u00a37,600 . Mr Evans told the jury: \u2018Grant Allen and Gaynor Godwin lived an enviable lifestyle and travelled to Dubai and America, sometimes travelling first class and staying in luxury hotels.\u2019 Godwin was cleared by the jury of conspiracy to remove criminal property after telling them she had no idea where Allen had got the large sums of money.

Steven Nelms writes in the essay's introduction that he can't afford his wife to be a stay-at home. 'I don't at all mean to offend anyone with this post,' he writes. 'I'd like to explain exactly what that means so that no one thinks I'm in any way devaluing Stay-At-Home Moms.' Steven Nelms penned a moving essay celebrating his wife and everything she does for their family as a stay-at-home mother to their two-year-old son Ezra . 'On the contrary, I mean that I quite literally cannot afford my wife to be staying at home.' Nelms told the Independent Journal Review that his wife, Glorianna, stays at home with the couple's two-year-old son Ezra because of high child care costs. But Nelms said working has always been a part of Gloriana's life, who had been employed since she was 14 and was contributing to her family's income when she was 17. 'Getting a paycheck was significant part of feeling valued and appreciated for all the hard work she did to provide for herself and help her family,' he sad. So Nelms, from Plano, Texas, decided to write an essay, which was posted on We Are Glory, in which he would break-down the monetary value of everything his wife does to care for the family. 'Yes, my wife is my son\u2019s mother and it is a natural result of being a parent to love and care for your own child,' he writes. 'There is also a very quantifiable dollar amount that can be attributed to the services rendered.' 'I am in no way trying to simplify, objectify, or devalue the priceless love of a mother for her child,' he wrote. 'But let\u2019s be real. Pay day feels good for a reason. Because you\u2019re seeing your hard work appreciated in a tangible way that lets you \u201ctreat yo self\u201d'. In the essay Nelms says he 'can't afford' his wife to be a stay-at-home mother, and then breaks down the monetary value of all that she provides. 'I would have to make over $100k to even begin to be able to cover my living expenses as well as employ my wife as a Stay-At-Home Mom!' he writes . Nelms said that he felt 'ashamed' for every time his wife felt she didn't have 'as much right to our income as I do' and that his income 'doesn't even come close to covering what she does for our family' Nelms estimates that the childcare his wife provides is worth $36,660 a year, the annual-salary for a full-time nanny. He also estimates this his wife does $5,200 worth of cleaning a year, $12,480 of cooking, and $13,520 for buying groceries and running errands. After adding that his wife helps deal with the family's finances and does the laundry, he concludes that his wife's annual salary should be $73,960.

Experts in America found that more than 50 per cent of pensioners with investments during the 2007 and 2008 global financial crisis panicked and sold them after the stock market fell by 30 per cent. Research carried out by scientists at Texas Tech University showed how those who did follow that path and sold at the lowest point eight years ago with a pension of \u00a3100,000 would only have \u00a363,000 today.

It comes just days before retirees in Britain are given the power to decide how to spend their life savings for the first time ever in the biggest shake-up of pensions for almost a century. The Daily Telegraph quotes the authors of the study, Michael Finke and Chris Browning as saying: \u2018Avoiding mistakes requires the ability to regulate emotions through our more rational cognitive process. \u2018Consumers are increasingly responsible for managing their retirement savings... (but) we also find that cognitive scores decline with advance age.\u2019 The newspaper says 1,204 retired people with investments between 2006 and 2008 were analysed as part of the study, which has been published in the Journal of Consumer Affairs. It reveals that retirees with better-than-average ability to solve \u2018logic problems\u2019 were more unlikely to make misjudgments in the investment market based on their emotions. The authors add: 'Lower levels of cognitive ability in old age can reduce an investor's ability to control emotional responses to a loss.

The video swoops around the disc of superheated material known as a quasar surrounding the black hole, showing how it takes shape. And the simulation is particularly interesting, because recent observations show two such black holes are going to collide in just seven years - so the prediction can be tested in real life. Scroll down for video . University of Illinois scientists have created the first 3D simulation of merging black holes (shown) in a disk. It shows what happens when two supermassive black holes collide . The simulation was led by scientists at the University of Illinois and included Dr Roman Gold, Dr Vasileios Paschalidis, Dr Stuart Shapiro, Dr Milton Ruiz, Dr Zachariah Etienne, and Dr Harald Pfeiffer. To make the simulation, the researchers used Einstein\u2019s general theory of relativity coupled with equations that govern how matter moves near the speed of light in a magnetic field. In the simulations, the processes taking place as the two black holes merge is shown. As they come closer, the magnetic field lines around the two become erratic, while the jets firing out from the \u2018poles\u2019 of each object merge into one. Gravitational waves - ripples in space-time caused by such an event - are also predicted to be created by the merger, while electromagnetic energy is blasted into space. Once merged, the material around the black holes continues to swirly intensely. Known as a quasar, this is a region of superheated dust and gas that surrounds supermassive black holes. They are extremely bright and power the centre of galaxies. At the centre of our Milky Way, for example, a bright quasar surrounding the supermassive black hole is visible. This first simulation shows the gas and magnetic fields as the two supermassive black holes collide . This second simulation shows the gravitational waves - ripples in space-time - in the merger . Material swirls around the objects in a quasar and jets fire out from the poles in the merger. It comes after two black holes were found to be seven years from merging. Shown here are gravitational waves produced . The simulation takes on added significance because, just the other day, it was revealed that two black holes 10.4 billion light years away are likely to collide in seven years. The discovery was made using data from the Pan-Starrs telescope in Hawaii.

But now the South Korean firm is facing a 'bendgate' controversy of its own after a video emerged claiming to show a similar flaw on the Galaxy S6 Edge. The company has now responded with its own video, demonstrating a three-point bend test on both its Galaxy S6 models. Scroll down for video . A video has emerged showing Galaxy S6 Edge bending and shattering under 110lbs (50kg) of pressure. The video was released by third-party warranty firm SquareTrade, and has since been criticised by Samsung . 'We are confident that all our smartphones are not bendable under daily usage,' the company said in a statement. The comments and video were posted in response to findings from third-party warranty firm SquareTrade, which publicised that the Galaxy S6 Edge can bend and shatter under 110lbs (50kg) of pressure. It also tested the HTC One M9 both deformed and broke at 120lbs (54kg). 'Bendability may be good in the yoga studio, but it is not what you want in a mobile device,' said Jessica Hoffman, vice president of global communications for SquareTrade. 'Last fall's Bendgate caught many by surprise, but as manufacturers strive for larger screens on thinner devices, they can be more susceptible to bending or snapping. 'SquareTrade Labs' tests reveal that while the iPhone 6 Plus bends, the Galaxy S6 edge cracks under pressure. Samsung claims the tests conducted by SquareTrade was unfair as 110lbs (50kg) of pressure 'rarely occurs under normal circumstances.' 'The video assumes a very specific condition - 110lbf (50kgf),' the company said. The teardown shows, from the front, the screen, logic board holder, battery, logic board with processor, camera, rear case and antenna. It is a fascinating view of exactly what goes into a modern smartphone - and how Samsung does business. The Chipworks site has posted this amazing image revealing the internals of the firm's Galaxy S6, which goes on sale on April 10th. The internals reveal Samsung used more of its own chips to power the new Galaxy S6 smartphone than it did for the predecessor S5, according to an early teardown report, in a blow to U.S. chip supplier Qualcomm. Samsung is not only using its own Exynos mobile processor, as had been widely reported, but also decided to rely on its in-house semiconductor business to source other parts, including the modem and power management integrated circuit chips, Ottawa-based consultancy Chipworks said. Samsung is counting on its new flagship Galaxy S6 and S6 edge phones to help revive earnings momentum after a disappointing 2014. Strong sales of system chips such as its Exynos processor could also help boost earnings, analysts and investors say. The Galaxy S6 also comes with Samsung's Shannon modem chip, U.S. phone carrierAT&T said on its website.

After his third conviction last week for assaulting a police officer, McGowan escaped a jail sentence but was placed under a restriction of liberty order and confined to his home from 7pm to 7am for 16 weeks. That has already ruled him out of the evening matches with Celtic at Dens Park on Wednesday and at Parkhead on Friday May 1, but Hartley fears that even playing in the three remaining games in the City of Discovery, which kick off at 3pm, could leave the player at risk of breaching his order. Dundee rogue Paul McGowan has been handed his third conviction after assaulting a police officer . Dundee manager Paul Hartley says he will not risk playing the troubled midfielder again this season . Hartley is worried that if McGowan was, for example, called up for after-match drug testing, required hospital treatment for an injury or was caught in traffic on the 80-mile journey back to his home in Coatbridge, he would run perilously close to his 7pm curfew. And he admits the only game in which McGowan would be able to safely feature is the final-day derby at Tannadice which kicks off at 12.30pm on May 24, but even then he may not be risked. 'Paul McGowan is available for selection but there is no guarantee he will play,' conceded Hartley yesterday. 'He has a curfew and we don't want him to break it. 'This is something I will need to look at between now and the end of the season. And we need to look at all aspects of this - where he is playing, what time he will leave after the match, travelling times and whether he gets an injury. 'There are all sorts of things that could happen. Heavy traffic, or his car could break down, or he could be called in for drug testing - which can often take a long time. 'Paul stays in the central belt so there are times when the journey could take longer than an hour and a half.

We've not asked (the courts) for any special dispensation. But it's something we might look at.'

Ethical Maldives Alliance is encouraging tourists to boycott 'high risk' resorts linked to human rights abuses . Now, the Ethical Maldives Alliance is encouraging tourists to consider the instability in the region when booking their accommodation. The Alliance has crafted a list of over 100 well-known hotels and is urging visitors to consult the guide before travelling. Although very little detail is provided when it comes to the Alliance's rationale for dubbing certain resorts to be 'high risk,' it has colour-coded the hotels into three categories. Those to be avoided are labelled red, those coded as green are considered to be 'low risk' and orange hued businesses are 'under consideration.' 'While okay to visit in the short term, there is a possibility that they will be on the 'to avoid' list in the longer term,' the website reads. 'Therefore, early reservations for visits later in the year should be avoided.' The group claims that the 'red' or 'orange' resorts are directly or indirectly linked to human rights abuses. Hotels are coded as 'low risk,' 'high risk, or 'under consideration' depending on their ties to corruption . By boycotting, the alliance hopes that tourists will help to make a difference in protecting and promoting democracy, while not adversely effecting the Maldivian economy. 'With a long and sad history of corruption, political oppression and human rights abuses, Maldives' first attempts at democratic reform are now faltering,' a statement on the Alliance's website reads. Crime is reportedly on the rise as a result of support for 'extreme gangs,' which are supported by police to suppress any dissent.

'Ethical Maldives evaluates resorts and other businesses on ethics-based criteria,' the website reads. 'These include owners' support for governments that perpetuate corruption, intimidation and oppression, measures relevant to the environment and social responsibility.' In response to allegations presented by The Ethical Maldives Association, the High Commission of the Maldives told MailOnline Travel: 'Resorts appear to be categorised not on the basis of any practices in their resorts, but on the basis of alleged links of their owners to the Government of the Maldives.

David Cameron has admitted Boris Johnson is locked in a behind-the-scenes battle with Theresa May and George Osborne to take over the Tory leadership. The Prime Minister said the London Mayor had 'suddenly realised' after years of mischief making that his main political rivals were those lining themselves up to take over the top job. He said Mr Johnson now understood the pair were no longer in 'competition'. The admission exposes the battle quietly raging behind the scenes over who will take over from Mr Cameron. It comes just weeks after Mr Cameron revealed he would stand down as Prime Minister before 2020 if he wins re-election next month. Mr Cameron said: 'Terms are like shredded wheat : two are wonderful but three might just be too many.'

Belinda, 56, from Essex, had hoped the operation would deal with her jowls and says she was looking 'worn out' ahead of the procedure. But the 'horrendous' scars produced by the bungling surgeon have left her bereft of confidence and feeling worse than ever before. Scroll down for video . Belinda, 56, from Essex, admits she wishes she'd never had a facelift because of the 'horrendous' scars it left her around her ears - the result of a botched procedure she underwent in Turkey (pictured) Budget job: Belinda, who appears on tonight's episode of TLC's Extreme Beauty Disasters (pictured), travelled to Turkey to have the facelift because it was cheaper . Now Belinda is to appear on TLC's Extreme Beauty Disasters to warn of the dangers of travelling abroad for cut-price surgery - and to see if anything can be done about her botched facelift. Plastic surgeon consultant Vik Vijh commented: 'Her scars are really very poor. They're stretched and they are dragging down her earlobes.' Belinda's problems began when she noticed she was looking more tired than usual and set about finding a cosmetic solution. In the UK, the average facelift costs \u00a37,900, so Belinda was thrilled when she found a Turkish surgeon offering cut-price operations that cost a fraction of the UK equivalent. Having already had successful cosmetic procedures in the past, among them breast implants and a tummy tuck, she says she felt positive about the prospect of facelift. Her husband agreed at the time, hoping it might 'freshen her up', but says, with hindsight, that 'it was one of the worst ideas I've ever had in my life.' Expert opinion: 'Her scars are really very poor,' admits plastic surgeon consultant Vik Vijh, who set out to correct the damage by re-doing her facelift. 'They're stretched and they are dragging down her earlobes' Mr Vijh (left) recommends another full face and neck lift to correct the damage, but warns Belinda (right) she could be risking nerve damage and further scarring . An excited Belinda then travelled to Turkey for the procedure, where such 'bargains' are common, checked into an Istanbul clinic and went under the knife. Initially thrilled with her 'fresh, plumped-out skin', doubts began to set in during the healing process. Expecting a dramatic change, the healed facelift, says Belinda, 'hadn't done anything' - except, much to her horror, leave her with earlobes that had been 'sewn' to the sides of her face. According to Mr Vijh, this was due to the surgeon stitching up Belinda's face in the wrong position, resulting in bad scarring that should have been concealed behind her ears, not around them . Still, Belinda is determined to go ahead, and after a gruelling session on the operating table at the hands of Mr Vijh (pictured), she comes out smiling .

The Labour leader and his party\u2019s spin machine prompted the most bitter row of the campaign so far by suggesting that David Cameron bore personal responsibility for drownings of refugees in the Mediterranean. Senior Conservatives claimed Mr Miliband was effectively \u2018accusing the Prime Minister of murder\u2019 in a \u2018desperate and negative\u2019 attempt to score political points by exploiting a human tragedy. Ed Miliband, pictured, was accused of trying to make political capital from the Mediterranean tragedy .

The Prime Minister said only that Mr Miliband\u2019s remarks were \u2018ill- judged\u2019.

He accused Labour of astonishing hypocrisy, given the catastrophic failure of post-war planning in its Iraq conflict. Mr Clegg told BBC Radio 5 live: \u2018I think it is quite distasteful, actually, to reduce this total human tragedy of hundreds of people dying out in the Mediterranean to a political point-scoring blame game, particularly, I have to say, from a party that of course brought us into an illegal invasion in Iraq where there was no planning at all for the aftermath.\u2019 Mr Clegg said there should be \u2018a little more adherence to the facts as to who is ending up on these boats, why they are and what we can do about it to stop this terrible human tragedy\u2019.

Nevada prison guards allegedly staged a 'gladiator-like' man-on-man fight between handcuffed inmates in the corridors of a maximum-security prison, then broke it up by opening fire with a shotgun. Carlos Manuel Perez Jr, 28, was allegedly pitted against Andrew Jay Arevalo, 24, inside High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs on November 12 of last year. After the two were left to duke it out, a lawsuit filed in state court claims, a trainee corrections officer waded in and fired off his shotgun four times in a row. The blasts killed Perez and left Arevalo with wounds to his face, according to the suit, which is seeking damages for a slew of allegations, including wrongful death and excessive force. An attorney for the Perez family said the guards knew that if they let the two prisoners - who were supposed to be kept apart - encounter one another in the halls a fight would be inevitable. Cal Potter said: 'Officers know they will see a fight if they release ad seg [administrative segregation] inmates that are supposed to be in walk-alone status.' Perez, a two-time felon, was serving a four-year sentence for hitting a man with a two-by-four, while Arevalo was serving six years for burglary. Arevalo survived the shots, despite wounds to his face. His attorney plans to file a suit soon. The suit, filed in Clark County District Court, said: 'Defendants ... refused to intervene. On the contrary (they) created a gladiator-like scenario and allowed the inmates to fight.' The lawsuit names two corrections officers and the trainee shooter by last name only. It also names as plaintiffs the state of Nevada, prisons chief Greg Cox and the warden, assistant warden and a lieutenant at High Desert State Prison. The suit alleges wrongful death; excessive force; deliberate indifference to Perez's medical needs; negligent training and supervision; and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It seeks unspecified damages, of at least $30,000. 'Gladiator fights': Pictured is High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs, Nevada, where the shooting took place . Clark County's coroner ruled Perez's death a homicide, with a March 3 finding that he died of gunshot wounds to the head, neck, chest and arms. Potter represents Perez's brother, Victor Perez, and mother, Myra Perez, both of Reno, and two children, ages 3 and 2. The lawyer said Perez's family was given conflicting statements during initial meetings with prison administrators after his death, and weren't told Perez had been shot.

Neville added: 'City have been beaten in the areas of passion, hunger and fight, but they were tactically done as well out here today. 'They couldn't handle Manchester United's position on the pitch.

Emwazi, who is originally from London, was planning on joining al-Shabaab in Africa but changed his mind after his friends were killed amid accusations they were set up by rival group members. Instead he travelled to Syria where he joined Islamic State and became synonymous with their gruesome beheading videos posted online. Scroll for video . Mohammed Emwazi (left), now known as masked killer Jihadi John (right), planned to join al-Shabaab in Somalia before going to Syria because two of his friends were killed, a source has said . According to a 29-year-old Syrian, named only as Ayman, Emwazi was obsessed with al-Shabaab and constantly spoke about the fighting in Somalia. In an interview with The Independent, Ayman says Emwazi once confided in him that he planned to join al-Shabaab before coming to Syria because Somalia was too dangerous. Ayman, who said he met Emwazi in Syria after ISIS captured his hometown, added: 'Mohammed was obsessed with al-Shabaab, he was angry about what happened in Africa. 'Some of his friends had been killed, some sent to prison and he thought they had been betrayed.' Emwazi became convinced al-Shabaab had been infiltrated by Western spies after friends Bilal al-Berjawi (pictured) and Mohammed Sakr were killed . The friends referred to are likely to be Bilal al-Berjawi and Mohammed Sakr, two members of the 'London Boys' gang of extremists that grew up with Emwazi in Maida Vale, north west London. Al-Berjawi passed through UK Border Control at least five times between 2006 and 2009 as he travelled between London and African terror cells, and helped to radicalise Emwazi while in the UK. Three years ago he was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Somalia, and according to Ayman, Emwazi was convinced that his location had been given to the Americans by fellow members of al-Shabaab during an internal power struggle. Emwazi also believed that another friend, Mohammed Sakr, who at one time had lived next door to al-Berjawi, was also betrayed to his death after he was killed in February 2012, also in Somalia. Emwazi has previously been accused of trying to join al-Shabaab, and was detained in August 2009 after flying to Tanzania in east Africa with a group of friends. They had claimed to be going on a wildlife safari, but were sent back to the Netherlands by security forced, where Emwazi later claimed he was questioned by an MI5 agent who tried to recruit him. Al-Berjawi and Sakr were also detained in Kenya around the same time, but later returned to Africa and were able to make it to Somalia, where they joined the fighting. Ayman claims that Emwazi also intended to return, but after his friends were killed he decided against it, believing al-Shabaab had been infiltrated by Western spies and was too dangerous.

Hamdi Ulukaya was once a Turkish immigrant with dreams of making it big in the U.S. food industry. His American-born ex, Dr. Ayse Giray, sued him in 2012 on claims her family lent him $500,000 that helped make his dreams a reality. On April 10, after years of wrangling and a pronouncement by Giray's camp just last month that the parties were no where near an agreement, Ulukaya settled for an unknown sum. Settled: Hamdi Ulukaya, the founder and CEO of Chobani, has settled a lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, who laid claim to half the $2 billion Greek yogurt empire . The settlement came just before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla was due to rule on whether Giray could retroactively be named a shareholder in Chobani's predecessor company, a feta cheese operation called Euphrates. Giray first sued Ulukaya in 2012 for a 53 percent stake in the company. The two were married just two years in the 1990s and Ulukaya's company was not an issue in their divorce, according to the New York Post. Yogurt boom: Giray first sued Ulukaya in 2012 for a 53 percent stake in the company. The two were married just two years in the 1990s and Ulukaya's company was not an issue in their divorce . However, in early 2015, court documents revealed that Giray was basing at least part of her claim on scribbled handwritten notes her lawyers were 'confirmation that monies were provided.' Ulukaya wrote the notes off as mere 'family expenses.' Nonetheless, his camp settled rather than leave themselves open to losing assets worth $1 billion to Giray. But even with this suit behind him, Ulukaya still has business problems ahead of him. Since early this year, Chobani has been considering replacing him as CEO, the New York Post reported, citing people familiar with the matter. One of the primary reasons for the removal of Ulukaya, who founded the company, is a product recall in 2013 that led to negative EBITDA of $87 million in the fourth quarter, the paper reported, citing internal documents it reviewed. The recall was a result of bad design and layout incorporated during the construction of the company's $450 million Idaho factory, and due to lack of training for workers, the Post reported. Ulukaya, who built the factory, kept a lot of his key executives in the dark as they continued to spend freely amid mounting losses and increasing chaos at the factory, the report said. Private-equity firm TPG invested $750 million in the New Berlin, New York-based company last year to save it from the cash crunch arising as a result of the problems at Idaho.

The documents requested include details relating to a contract with Paul Ceglia during an 18-month stretch beginning in 2003. Ceglia has been on the run for a month after cutting off his electronic ankle bracelet. His father told a court they believe Facebook and the prosecutors were conspiring against him. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Vernon Broderick told Facebook Inc. and owner Mark Zuckerberg they have until Monday to relinquish the information that was requested by Ceglia's lawyer, Robert Ross Fogg. The order ignores Zuckerberg's request to wait until Ceglia is caught before handing over the documents. Mark Zuckerberg must release documents and electronic correspondence to a defense lawyer whose client has fled from criminal charges that he falsely claimed a majority ownership in the social media giant . With a May 4 trial approaching, Ceglia cut off his electronic ankle bracelet last month and fled. His wife, two children and dog are also missing from their home in Wellsville, 70 miles southeast of Buffalo. Ceglia's father told Broderick at a hearing last week that he believed his son might have fled because he believed Facebook and Zuckerberg were working together with prosecutors against him, jeopardizing his chance for a fair trial. The judge said he would not allow a trial to proceed unjustly. Federal prosecutors had urged Broderick not to force Facebook and Zuckerberg to turn over the documents, saying doing so would 'reward Ceglia's flouting of the judicial process while unreasonably drawing on the resources of the government and the authority of the court.' The criminal case against Ceglia was brought after a judge threw out his 2010 civil lawsuit claiming that he gave Zuckerberg, a student at Harvard University at the time, $1,000 in startup money in exchange for 50 percent of the future company. Prosecutors said a forensic analysis of his computers and Harvard's email archive determined Ceglia had altered an unrelated software development contract he signed with Zuckerberg in 2003 and falsified emails to make it appear Zuckerberg had promised him a half-share of Facebook. Zuckerberg has said he didn't come up with the idea for Facebook until months after he responded to Ceglia's online help-wanted ad and signed a contract agreeing to create some software for him. A lawyer for Facebook and Zuckerberg did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday on the judge's order. Neither did a spokesman for government attorneys nor Fogg.

Jason Lee forced himself on the 20-year-old in a bathroom and told her to 'shut the f*** up' so her friends in the next room would not hear. The assault ended when the girl kneed him in the groin and staggered out in such a \u2018hysterical\u2019 state she was unable to talk. Lee tried to downplay the incident and said it was 'no big deal' and dismissively told the first police officer on the scene: 'We're good, you can go', the court heard. Lee walked hand in hand with his wife Alicia into New York Suffolk County Court on Wednesday . Former Goldman Sachs managing director Jason Lee, 38, faces charges of allegedly raping a 20-year-old Irish woman in the Hamptons in August 2013 . The rape allegedly happened when Lee, 38, invited the victim and her friends to party at his rented $33,000-a-month mansion in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York during the summer of 2013. On the first day of the trial, Kerriann Kelly, the Chief of the Major Crime Bureau at Suffolk District Attorney's office, said that Lee and his victim were 'from such different worlds that they might have been from different planets'. She had spent the summer in New York on a J-1 student work visa and was staying with her brother for a night out before flying home to Ireland. Lee was a high flying executive at Goldman Sachs who lives in Manhattan, but Miss Kelly said: 'What you see is not always what you get'. She told the court: 'What you see in the court room this morning is a defendant dressed in a very professional suit, his hair is nicely combed. he is copiously taking notes as I speak. 'That's not the same individual the victim encountered in the early morning of August 20 2013. Not even close. 'What she encountered was a man who wanted one thing and one thing only, and that thing was sex. He used her to get it.' Lee has pleaded not guilty to first-degree rape, sexual misconduct and third-degree assault charges. He could face 25 years in jail if convicted. On Wednesday he walked into Suffolk District Court wearing a dark suit hand in hand with his wife Alicia, who sat in the public gallery. The court was told that Lee and his friend Rene Duncan met the victim and her friends at the trendy Georgica restaurant and lounge in Wainscott on August, 19 2013. The two men were there celebrating Lee's 37th birthday and they invited the Irish group back to his mansion a short distance away. Miss Kelly said that they were having a good time partying the night away, drinking wine and eating pizza they found in the freezer.

The medical incident officer joined the team caring for patients at Worcestershire Royal Hospital last Friday.

A medical incident doctor, usually deployed to major disaster zones, was sent to help staff at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital's under-pressure A&E department, it has emerged . It came as the weekly national figures from NHS England showed it has missed the four-hour waiting time target for the 28th consecutive week, despite a slight improvement. The proportion of patients seen within the Government maximum of four hours at A&E departments in England is below the target of 95 per cent again - they have not been met since September 28. NHS England said 92.5 per cent of patients spent four hours or less from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge in the week ending April 12. This was a slight improvement on the previous week, when it was 92.4 per cent. The figures include data from last Friday, April 10, where the MIO was sent in to help at Worcestershire Royal Hospital after months of problems. A Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust spokesman apologised for last Friday's incident, and said it was 'working very hard' to prevent it from happening again. An A&E consultant at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital was one of five senior doctors who resigned from their jobs amid the crisis affecting emergency departments at two hospitals. In February four consultants from the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch quit their roles, on the same day as their colleague at the Worcestershire Royal. It left Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust with the task of filling five vacancies in a matter of months as the doctors work their notice periods. In a damning open letter to the trust, four of the consultants branded the NHS trust a 'disgrace' and claimed they had been put under 'unbearable stress'. The 1,700 word letter, signed by Richard Morrell, Sarah Crawford, Christopher Hetherington and David Gemmell, said: 'The trust appears to tolerate massive overcrowding in the county's A&E departments. 'This is a disgrace and a patient safety issue which causes serious harm to many patients and intolerable stress on all A&E staff. 'The situation has taken a heavy toll on our personal and family lives - the stress has been unbearable at times. 'We are battle-weary and exhausted by the continuous pressure that we have been under.' The trust spokesman said: 'We can confirm that on Friday April 10, West Midlands Ambulance paramedics were asked to look after a number of patients in the corridor before they could be transferred in to the care of the A&E staff.

A Reuters investigation that revealed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation had misreported millions of dollars in donations from foreign nations led the global charity to announce that it would refile more than five years of tax documents. Scroll down for video . A Reuters investigation that revealed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation had misreported millions of dollars in donations from foreign nations led the global charity to announce that it would refile more than five years of tax documents - Republicans pounced . The discovery came as separate financial reviews found that previously unreported foreign businesses either donated money directly to the family foundation or paid Bill to speak while their countries were doing official business with the State Department during Hillary's tenure. In one instance, Bill Clinton received one of his biggest paychecks in $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow funded by an investment bank with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Clinton Foundation was barred by an agreement from accepting money from foreign governments it wasn't already in business while Mrs. Clinton was in President Barack Obama's cabinet. But that didn't stop it from doing so anyway. It fessed up in February to accepting a $500,000 donation from Algeria in 2010 without telling the State Department. And the agreement is not known to have put restraints on Mr. Clinton's ability to collect paychecks from foreign actors. Taking aim at Hillary Clinton, Cruz said in a Wednesday evening Facebook, 'Having raised tens of millions of dollars from foreign nations presents a clear conflict of interest for anyone running for President of the United States.' 'Add your name if you agree Hillary Clinton should return all money raised from foreign nations!' the Texas senator added, soliciting names for a petition urging the non-profit to give back the funds. Carson told Daily Mail Online today that he, too, believes the charity cough up the cash. 'It is my strong belief that not only should they definitely give back the money and cease accepting foreign donations, but should also make every effort to find missing documents that would shed light if in fact they are innocent,' he said..

+{"article": "Sportsmail takes a look at 10 things we learned from the Premier League's Easter weekend fixtures and the race for promotion across the Football League. 1. Playing Jordan Henderson as a wing back instead of in his normal central midfield position was an idea that went spectacularly wrong for Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers. The England star, who has taken over the captain\u2019s armband in the absence of Steven Gerrard, gave the ball away 23 times in 90 minutes as he struggled to handle the role at Arsenal. Jordan Henderson (left) toiled as a wing back in Liverpool's defeat against Arsenal and lost the ball 23 times . Henderson, usually a central midfielder, has not given the ball away as much all season for Liverpool . There hasn\u2019t been a single one of his previous 29 Premier League appearances this season in which he\u2019s lost possession more. 2. John O\u2019Shea has clearly learned the canny defender\u2019s art of letting his brain do all the running. The theory is if you get in the right position in the first place, you don\u2019t have to chase to recover. In 90 minutes of helping Sunderland keep a clean sheet against Newcastle, the Ireland international logged just 11.9 metres at sprint speed on the EA Sports performance data. It clearly works for him \u2013 he\u2019ll be 34 at the end of this month but remains the sole Premier League outfield player to have appeared in every minute of every game in all competitions for his club this season. John O'Shea only sprinted 11.9 metres during his impressive display in Sunderland's 1-0 win over Newcastle . O'Shea (third left) celebrated Sunderland's win with Costel Pantilimon when the final whistle was blown . For good measure he\u2019s also completed the full 90 minutes of all five European Championship qualifiers for the Republic. 3. Steven Caulker\u2019s form has suffered from playing with too many different partners at QPR but there are signs the former Spurs and Cardiff centre half is returning to his best. The 23-year-old was a towering figure as a West Brom side led by the powerful figure of substitute Victor Anichebe fought to recover from being three goals down at half-time. Steven Caulker (right) wins a header against West Bromwich Albion striker Brown Ideye . Caulker made 20 clearances \u2013 as many as the rest of the Rangers back four put together \u2013 and more than any other Premier League defender all weekend. 4. Chelsea need have few fears if Diego Costa\u2019s hamstring problems mean they have to rely on Loic Remy for goals in the last eight games of the season. The France international\u2019s tap-in from Eden Hazard\u2019s pass for the winner against Stoke was his fifth Premier League goal of the season from just 456 minutes on the pitch.

But patients would have to eat several pounds of the vegetable every day to derive any significant benefit. Sulforaphane in its natural form is also too unstable to turn into a medicine.

'We won't relent 'til it's 100 per cent,' the women sing in a tongue-in-cheek refrain that repeats throughout the PSA. Scroll down for video . Poor guys: Rita Wilson pretends to be sad that men don't completely dominate film industry in a new gender-equality PSA by the Make it Fair Project . 'In the past three years, only 93 per cent of films were directed by men, and only 80 per cent were written by them,' the actresses, including Meryl Streep\u2019s actress daughter Mamie Gummer, say at the beginning of the video. They go on to note, completely dead-pan, that in 2014, 'only' 88 per cent of box office hits featured a man in the leading role. 'Sadly', they say, 'only' 70 per cent of speaking roles in films are also given to men, and women 'get to be naked' in movies twice as often as men do. The problem exists even on the Broadway stage, they point out, with 13 out of 13 plays last year being written by men. Speaking up: Actress Mamie Gummer (pictured, in a photograph by Nadia Quinn) sings in the video that it's 'only fair that men should have it all', not just 80 or 90 per cent of an industry . Far-reaching issue: Though the actresses highlight gender inequality in Hollywood, they also point out similar problems in government and Fortune 500 companies . Rita, who is known for her roles in Sleepless in Seattle and Runaway Bride, looks distressed as she lists the unfavorable statistics. The video comes just weeks after Rita revealed her battle with cancer and double mastectomy. Now, the actress, who has had devoted husband Tom Hanks by her side, is making more headlines for speaking out about another issue that effects women, this time in the film industry.

A crooked builder befriended a widowed pensioner so he could fritter away her \u00a328,500 life savings on shopping sprees and lavish meals out. Sean Donohoe, 30, from Wilnecote, Tamworth, plundered the elderly woman's accounts before spending tens of thousands of pounds on trips to the Snowdome and in shops such as Argos and HMV. He even persuaded his victim to change her will so he could reap the benefits, before secretly taking out two life insurance policies, both of which named him as the beneficiary. The builder has now been jailed for 21 months after admitting charges of fraud and theft. Sentencing him at Birmingham Crown Court, the judge said Donohoe abused the woman's trust in 'every conceivable way'. Judge Francis Laird QC said: 'You befriended her, you became a close friend and confidante. Because of your behaviour towards her she absolutely trusted you with her financial affairs. 'You abused that trust. You did so in every conceivable way. She effectively handed over her money to you. You were not a financial advisor. 'However she was an elderly lady, a widow, alone and highly vulnerable to a dishonest individual such as yourself.' The court was told how Donohoe had first befriended the woman when he carried out work on her property in Tyseley in 2007. By January 2011, he had started controlling the woman's finances. During that time, he applied for credit cards in her name and also ran up huge debts. The court heard how the victim also changed her will twice during Donohoe's two-year scam, leaving everything to the defendant. But the widow was unaware that Donohoe had taken out the life insurance policies. Lal Amarasinghe, prosecuting, said Donohoe used the money on trips to the Snowdome as well as on meals and at shops. But Department of Work and Pensions checks soon discovered that the woman's accounts were overdrawn, prompting social services to become involved. A judge at Birmingham Crown Court (pictured) said Donohoe abused the woman's trust 'in every conceivable way'. The builder has now been jailed for 21 months, after admitting theft and fraud .

But there are now 16million reasons for the Norwegian to take Celtic there by leading the team to a fourth successive title. And all of them involve pound signs. This week UEFA confirmed their \u2018cash cycle\u2019 for the next three years of European competition. The last time Celtic reached the Champions League group stage, in 2013-14 when they faced AC Milan, Ajax and Barcelona, they won one match and earned \u00a312.6m. The same performance \u2013 or better \u2013 next season would see that sum rise by \u00a34m. If they reach the last 16, the figures crash through the \u00a320m barrier. And that\u2019s even before ticket sales. UEFA's increase in Champions League money gives Celtic manager Ronny Deila extra reasons to qualify . To the rest of Scottish football, the prospect of Celtic making more money is damaging to any hopes of increased competition.

So to get a good team to compete in that tournament is everything. It is more important than selling players. \u2018Our prime target is the Champions League and we have to do what is best for the club.\u2019 Towards that end, Deila - now a more confident and assured figure than the man who took the Parkhead job last summer - will assume personal control of the pre-season programme and argue for the retention of key players. The days of Celtic jetting to the east coast of Australia and back to play friendlies appear to have gone. \u2018We have to be more prepared than we were this season,\u2019 stated the Parkhead boss after insisting that last summer\u2019s lucrative series of games in the United States, Austria and Germany", "summary": "UEFA have confirmed a significant hike in Champions League prize money .

The patients had booked appointments with the Indian-born doctor to deal with back pain and pins and needles. Latheef is said to have told the women to turn away from him with their hands behind their backs. He put items in their grip, such as a pen and a key, telling the women this would measure their levels of sensitivity. One of the women suspected he was also using his penis and turned to see him bent over and doing up his zip. The alleged offences came to light in December 2011 when a 37-year-old patient contacted police an hour after her appointment with Latheef.

However, many women go on to develop resistance and the disease comes back, often because cancer stem cells which cause tumours to regrow and spread are unaffected by these treatments. The combination therapy, tested in mice and samples of tissue from secondary breast cancer patients, combines Sulforadex with standard hormonal treatments. Eating dinner or a snack late at night could raise a woman's risk of breast cancer, a study has warned. Researchers found eating meals at set times and eating dinner early reduced the risk. Leaving a longer time between the last meal or snack of the day and breakfast lowers the chance of developing the disease, US researchers found. They discovered women who fasted for longer overnight had significantly better control over their blood sugar levels. Each three hour increase in night-time fasting was associated with a four per cent lower glucose levels when tested after a meal, regardless of how much women ate, they found. Previous research has found women with higher blood sugar levels are more likely to develop cancer, even if they don't have diabetes. In the study, women reported eating five times per day and fasted overnight an average of 12 hours. Those who reported fasting for longer also indicated they consumed fewer calories per day, ate fewer calories after 10 pm and had fewer periods of eating. This targets both the oestrogen-sensitive cells and the remaining cancer stem cells at the same time, says research presented at the American Association of Cancer Research annual conference today. Dr Robert Clarke, from the University\u2019s Institute of Cancer Sciences, said: \u2018The hormonal therapies we use today are very good at treating breast cancer tumours driven by oestrogen. \u2018However, they don\u2019t completely solve the problem. 'This combination of drugs potentially allows us to target oestrogen-sensitive cells, while also mopping up the cells which cause treatment resistance.\u2019 The next step will be to recruit patients for a trial in the next few months. Dr David Howat, head of research and development at Evgen Pharma said: \u2018We are really excited about the data presented at the AACR.

Madison Small, from Ashburn, left school early on Mondayand, after she woke up in the night with a severe headache, she was rushed to hospital. By Tuesday afternoon, her father, Tim Small, had contacted the Broad Run High School to let staff know that his youngest daughter had passed away that morning. On Friday, the Loudoun County Health Department confirmed she died of meningococcal meningitis, which causes membranes covering the brain and spinal cord to swell, My Fox DC reported. Loss: Eighteen-year-old Madison Small, pictured, passed away suddenly on Tuesday morning after feeling ill on Monday and it has now emerged she died of meningococcal meningitis . The bacteria causes membranes covering the brain and spinal cord to swell. It is the school system's first confirmed case in two years, the Washington Post reported. The last case in Loudoun was in January 2013. Public Health and school district officials said they do not have reason to believe her illness poses a risk to other students, particularly because last week was spring break. Loudoun County schools spokesman Wayde Byard told the Post that lockers at the school have been cleaned twice but there is no indication of an outbreak. 'It's a very tragic case... but there's no reason to panic,' he said. David Goodfriend, director of the Loudoun County Health Department, said a small number of people who had contact with Small would be watched for symptoms.

Family: Her father Tim Small, pictured center, spoke at a candle-lit vigil held for the teenager on Tuesday evening. Madison is pictured left with her older siblings and parents . Meningococcal meningitis causes membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord to become inflamed. It is caused by a bacterium that around 10 per cent of people naturally have in the back of their nose or throat with no issue - but sometimes it can invade the body. The bacteria is passed through direct contact with body fluids, such as through kissing or sharing eating utensils or drinks. Symptoms can include fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and confusion. It is often diagnosed in infants, adolescents and young adults, and a vaccine is recommended for all children aged 11 to 18. The disease can be treated with effective antibiotics but it is important that treatment be started as soon as possible. Even with antibiotic treatment, people die in about 10 to 15 per cent of cases. And 11 to 19 per cent of survivors will have long-term disabilities, including loss of limbs, deafness, nervous system problems, or brain damage. 'Didn't think anything was wrong with her,' she said.

Business mogul Jack Welch has called for an end to the college hierarchy that has caused higher education to become cripplingly expensive. Speaking to DailyMail.com CEO Jon Steinberg, the former head of General Electric insisted that it's time to cut out expensive and needless middle management. He said: 'If you look at education today there are deans, there are associate deans, there are assistants to the associate deans. There's hierarchy beyond belief. 'Why should these lazy professors hang out getting fat on money while kids are going broke graduating? 'It's dumb, it's stupid, and it has to be broken.' Welch warned that this increase in middle management is driving up the cost of higher education, which is now failing to give students value for the amount of money they are forced to shell out. He told Steinberg that he is now dedicated to taking education in a new direction as executive of the Jack Welch Management Institute (JWMI), which currently has over 900 students and is growing. He said: 'At JWMI one thing is true - and this will be a big change for education - we think: 'Who is our customer?' The student is our customer. 'We have no tenure. We will remove faculty if the students call for it. 'They know when they're getting value and when they're not.

A memo from an internal police inquiry which surfaced earlier this week revealed colleagues expressed concerns about Robert Bates, 73, when he arrived at the Tulsa Sheriff's Office. Documents suggested the department also violated training policies when they employed Bates. He has been charged with second-degree manslaughter in relation to the death of Eric Harris during a botched sting on April 2. Scroll down for video . A memo has revealed that Robert Bates,73, who has been charged with second-degree manslaughter in the death of Eric Harris, was given special treatment when he was admitted into the Deputy program. He is pictured leaving his arraignment in in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Tuesday . According to Tulsa World, District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler has begun contacting outside law enforcement agencies for further investigation after new information surfaced. He said on Friday: 'I am highly concerned about recent allegations that have surfaced and I have been in contact with independent law enforcement agencies regarding further investigation into these matters.' 'To protect the integrity of these investigations, I will not give details or comment further on any investigation that is underway,' he added. The memo concludes Bates didn't receive special treatment for admittance into the deputy program, but that he received special treatment once admitted. He was said to have used his personal car while on duty and made unauthorized vehicle stops. The inquiry came to the conclusion that high-ranking officers created an atmosphere where employees were intimidated about reporting violations of department policy. The report says it was prepared for former Undersheriff Brian Edwards, who says he doesn't remember its details. Dan Smolen, the attorney for Eric Harris, claimed that if the investigation's findings had been acted on in 2009 Harris might still be alive. He told CBS News: 'I think there are so many people who look on at so much corruption it's more than just a couple of people.' Sheriff's office spokesman Maj. Shannon Clark says he can't confirm the report but the department is preparing a statement. Bates appeared in Tulsa district court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter in the death of Harris, who was killed during a botched sting. Charged: Bates (left in his mug shot) shot Harris (pictured right) and faces four years in prison if convicted . Sheriff Stanley Glanz said this week he believes that Bates received his required training. Bates, a Tulsa County volunteer, shot Harris, 44, after the man was confronted during an undercover gun-sale operation and ran past him. Video of the incident shows Bates chasing after Harris. In an attempt to subdue him, Bates went to grab his Taser, but was unaware he had actually pulled out his gun instead.

He pleaded guilty and was fined \u00a3650 with six points for speeding but then began weaving a web of lies after asking the judge to consider special circumstances to try and avoid a driving ban. At Dolgellau Magistrates Court, Garrod had claimed he was rushing to work after a colleague had contacted him before he set off and told him that a cyclist was injured on the A470 at Dolgellau in north Wales. But the judge ordered an adjournment to take various witness statements before making a decision on his driving ban. That's when bosses began their own investigations and discovered the extent of Garrod's lies and opened a special misconduct hearing. Yesterday, the disciplinary hearing was told Garrod filled in a 'patient clinical record' for the bogus call to back up his false story. Garrod - a paramedic for ten years - was caught out when ambulance chiefs checked to find no record of the 999 call on the day of his speeding ticket. The panel heard the ambulance trust had no records of any 999 alert on the A470 at Dolgellau, North Wales, on 25 April 2011 - the day he was caught speeding. A report from the Health and Care Professionals Council said: 'The conduct was deliberate and was designed to mitigate the fact that he had been caught speeding. 'His actions were pre-meditated as he went as far as falsifying documentation to support his story. 'This would be deemed to be dishonest by the ordinary standards of reasonable and honest people.' Garrod claimed he was rushing to work after a colleague had contacted him before he set off and told him that a cyclist was injured on the A470 at Dolgellau but was caught out when bosses checked 999 records . Father-of-two Garrod did not attend the disciplinary hearing in Cardiff but said in writing he had 'confused the dates'. Garrod denied five allegations relating to providing false statements, creating a false patient clinic record and dishonesty. But he was struck off after being found guilty of misconduct. The disciplinary hearing ruled: 'Such conduct by a health professional falls well below the standards expected of a registered health professional and consequently amounts to misconduct.'", "summary": "Philip Garrod caught while on way to work with Welsh Ambulance Service .

On January 12 last year, she mistakenly sent a text to her boss meant for her daughter's boyfriend who was engaged as a contact plumber for the firm.

[her employer] Rob is a complete d***... we know this already so please try your best not to tell him that regardless of how much you might feel the need.' Realising her mistake, she immediately texted her boss asking him to delete the message and ignore its contents. Ms Nesbitt sent a further message explaining the insult was a 'joke within our family'. 'I need to explain ... that message came across so wrong,' she said. 'That is not how I feel. My sense of humour is to exaggerate. It is not how I feel. 'Please forget it and just go on as normal. I am very very sorry.' Ms Nesbitt - who had employed at Dragon Mountain Gold since 2004 - was fired five days after the incident, with her employer saying it was due to 'gross misconduct'. She filed a unfair dismissal complaint with the Fair Work Commission. While she cross examined, Ms Nesbitt argued the text had been taken out of context. The commission also heard she had sent an email to her employer expressing the view she did not think he listened to her or took her counsel on board. This had been causing tension between the two before the January 12 incident. Commissioner DJ Cloghan ruled against Ms Nesbitt. 'On the evidence, I am not persuaded that when Ms Nesbitt referred to Mr Gardner as \"a complete d***\", it was her sense of humour to exaggerate or, that it was \"light-hearted insult\" or it should be read in the context of the person it was meant for,' Commissioner DJ Cloghan said.

While current manager Pellegrini has a year remaining on his own deal, he has come in for fierce criticism following the stunning collapse of City's Premier League title defence and appears to be waiting for the knockout punch to land. But is Guardiola the right man for the job? The boy from Barcelona is seen as a natural fit given his close relationship with City's executive pair Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain, with whom he worked during a glittering stint at the Nou Camp, and his desire to play attractive, attacking football. However, City's Abu Dhabi owners famously crave Champions League progression and, based on recent evidence, there may be some doubt as to whether Guardiola can deliver that. The 44-year-old's early record in the competition is stunning, lifting the trophy two times in three years - although he will not inherit a team featuring the likes of Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi in Manchester. And a glimpse at his away record in the knockout stages of the competition might suggest all is not as it seems. In 17 matches on the road in Europe, Guardiola's teams have won just four times, drawing eight and losing five. He has never exited before the semi-final stage but has twice bowed out to teams deemed inferior.

Benaud was first and foremost a television broadcaster, a man of unusually wry wit who once responded on air to colleague Chris Broad\u2019s malapropism (\u2018Honestly, you run out of expletives when describing the fielding of Jonty Rhodes\u2019) without skipping a beat: \u2018Which particular one did you have in mind?\u2019 But Benaud also penned a regular column for the News of the World, taking his place among the hacks \u2013 not all TV men take the trouble \u2013 to craft his copy whenever a Test match was going on.

Benaud was one of cricket's great personalities and will be remembered for his dry wit and knowledge . Tributes are seen at the statue of Benaud at the Sydney Cricket Ground after his passing . It was said he would regularly file 700 or 800 words, of which maybe 150 or 200 would see the light of day. But, a professional to his core, Benaud kept on filing. He loved cricket, and he loved conveying his love, by visual means or verbal. That much was evident during his playing days. He won 63 Test caps between January 1952 and February 1964, collecting 248 wickets with his leg-spin (at a very good average of 27) and scoring 2,201 runs at 24. But it was the style as much as the stats. It was often an understated era, typified by Jim Laker\u2019s steadfast refusal to celebrate any of the 19 wickets he took against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956 (Benaud c Statham b Laker 0; Benaud b Laker 18). Benaud did his best to change all that. Sport was fun, emotional and human: if he got a wicket, he\u2019d do more than hitch his trousers up, Laker-style. He\u2019d whoop and skip and jump: take a look on YouTube at him enjoying Bob Simpson\u2019s slip catch at Old Trafford in 1961, where his leg-breaks spirited Australia to a come-from-behind win. These days players go further than that. But Benaud was their spiritual forefather. He loved not just cricket, but cricketers too. Not everyone was enamoured by his involvement in Kerry Packer\u2019s rebellious World Series Cricket in the late 1970s. But WSC eventually forced the Establishment\u2019s hand. Cricketers were soon paid a living wage, not the honorariums they had previously endured. Benaud\u2019s involvement and influence were central to that. It was as a TV commentator that Benaud came into his own. When Wisden asked him in 2003 to dispense some advice to aspiring broadcasters, he suggested: \u2018Put your brain into gear before opening your mouth.\u2019 That style \u2013 laconic, considered, dry \u2013 would become his hallmark, together with an unfailing greeting: \u2018Good morning, everyone.\u2019 When Benaud welcomed viewers, they were able to relax: the cricket was about to begin.

My hazy memories of similar family holidays as a child were of slow days spent on pine-scented campsites, punctuated by trips to sun-soaked beaches. But here I was, a fully-fledged father, some quarter of a century later wondering what had gone wrong. Our journey to Argeles-sur-Mer on France\u2019s Mediterranean coast went without a hitch, despite being in the minority of travellers flying, then hiring a car, rather than driving all the way. But the fatal decision was to try and wash the children, toddler Joe and five-year-old Anna, after arriving in a tired and tetchy state at Camping La Chapelle. Chris Greenwood stayed at Camping La Chappelle with his wife, Catherine, and children, Joe and Anna . Families congregated around the pools every afternoon for relief from the August heat .

The next time you order your coffee give some thought to your choice of pastry . The classic English pastry has been identified as the perfect accompaniment to a creamy latte, as well as a cinnamon swirl and a pain au raisin.

A latte (left) which has a light espresso flavour is best complemented with a Chelsea bun (right) LATTE: Cinnamon swirl, Chelsea bun or pain au raisin . Something big and hearty has to go with the light texture and sweetness of a latte. Delicate spice and toasted pastry flavours should work best, allowing you to detect the light espresso flavour through the warm milk. ESPRESSO: Chocolate truffle or mini raspberry couli . Espresso is strong and short drink, your taste buds will be exposed to very intense tastes when you drink it and any accompaniment needs to either pack an equally intense punch or complement in an alternative and cleansing way. I would suggest the chocolate truffle be paired with a fruity espresso and the raspberry couli with a more chocolatey espresso. FLAT WHITE: Muffins . A light fluffy muffin (blueberry is my choice of sweet) should accompany your flat white really well but if you are prepared to take things a little further a ham and cheese sweet/savoury muffin works even better!

Apple launches its first smartwatch today - but anyone turning up to buy one in the high street will be disappointed. For although the Apple Watch is officially going on sale, none of its stores will have them in stock. Instead, consumers willing to shell out between \u00a3299 to \u00a313,500 - for the gold edition - have to pre-order the watches online and wait for their arrival until June. Usually, Apple launches generate long queues outside stores. But City analysts believe the company feared the queues might be embarrassingly small and so opted to launch the watch with more of a whisper than a bang. In fact, despite the high price and some skepticism that consumers are keen to adopt a new generation of wearable technology, pre-orders have far exceeded expectations. As a result, the company's initial production run is simply not large enough to ensure that watches will be available in stores from today. Analysts believe Apple is sitting on some two million pre-orders and that sales could top 20 million this year. The watch includes a host of personal trackers, including a heart rate monitor, and is being billed as a personal doctor that will help users to lose weight and improve their health. However, Apple also wants it to be seen as style statement and fashion accessory, with customers able to choose from any of 38 variants depending on the case and watch strap. As a result, limited supplies have been given to six designer outlets around the world, which will apparently be sold to a few select customers by appointment today. These include the exclusive Dover Street Market in London's Mayfair, which is understood to have 570 of the watches, although not the gold edition. The launch of the watch into stores is being handled by Apple retail chief, Angela Ahrendts, who is very familiar with the world of designer labels. She was head of the luxury British fashion label Burberry, where she was one of the UK's highest paid women executives, before joining the US company last May. Her recruitment was sweetened with a golden hello of shares worth around \u00a340million. She told Apple staff via video message earlier this week that the decision to make the watch only available through online orders is because demand has exceeded supply. In it she said: 'We know that you have been bombarded with questions from customers. 'Luckily, the customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We know they are excited about the Watch ...but there are a lot of questions about availability and timing etc. 'Last week we announced that due to the high global interest and the initial supply that we would only be taking orders online right now.

The US Environmental Protection Agency said it is contacting people including employees at Sirenusa resort in St. John to determine how many others might have been exposed to the pesticide. It was banned for indoor residential use in 1984. 'Methyl bromide is a potent neurotoxin, so it really affects your central nervous system,' EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck said in a telephone interview. Steve Esmond and his wife, Dr Theresa Devine, and their two teenage sons fell seriously ill during their stay at the Sirenusa Condominium Resort on the island of St. John . The Esmond family had rented a second-floor condominium at Sirenusa, a resort of 22 villas, late last month. Steve Esmond and his wife, Dr Theresa Devine, and their two teenage sons fell seriously ill during their stay on the island of St. John. The family were airlifted to separate hospitals in Philadelphia suffering major respiratory trauma. Sean, 16, and Ryan, 14, were in critical condition. The family attorney James Maron confirmed the two parents are recovering but their two sons are in critical condition. James Maron, the family's lawyer, said the boys were in 'rough shape'. 'The family are all fighters,' he told WPBF News. 'They're fighting for everything right now. I understand it's a long recovery.' The US Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation. Sean, 16, (pictured) and his 14-year-old brother Ryan remain in comas two weeks after being hospitalized . Enck said the pesticide was used March 28 on the condominium's first floor, and agents are trying to determine how much was employed.

+{"article": "Neuroscientists have succeeded in creating 'ghosts' in the laboratory by tricking the brains of test subjects into feeling an unexpected 'presence' in the room. The spooky experiment which conjured up a ghostly illusion in the laboratory has proved once and for all that it's only our mind playing tricks. The invisible, creepy presence reported by so many people over the centuries is just a set of mixed-up signals in the brain, the researchers say. Scroll down for video . The scientists say the experiment that what some people believe to be a ghostly presence is just a trick of the brain. 'This confirms that it is caused by an altered perception of their own bodies in the brain,' said Professor Olaf Blanke of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland . Blindfolded and wearing ear-plugs, test subjects performed movements with their hand attached to a robotic device. Behind them, the robotic device reproduced their movements and touched them on the back. When conducted in real time, the participant's brain could adapt and recognize it as their own movement because of the synchronized movement. However, when the scientists introduced a temporal delay of just a few milliseconds, the distorting of temporal and spatial perception induced the 'ghostly' feeling. The sensation was re-created by researchers using a robot to interfere with the sensory signals in the brains of blindfolded volunteers. Under normal circumstances the brain is able to form a unified self-perception, but lead researcher Olaf Blanke explained that when this malfunctions the brain creates a second representation of its body. 'Most of the research predicts that we cannot tickle ourselves because our brain precisely predicts of one hand, of my hand, touching my body or touching one or another position. However, if this is not fully integrated because I'm doing it or if I cannot correctly predict because somebody else were to touch me; in those cases of uncertainty, very often in those cases of double touch, the response is that you feel ticklish or tickled by somebody else,' said Blanke who is leading the research at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland (EPFL). The findings appear to explain the common experience people have of feeling an unseen presence, even a guardian angel, demon or apparition stalking their movements. These are frequently reported by people in extreme physical or emotional situations, such as mountaineers and explorers, or those grieving for a lost loved one. They are also associated with medical conditions that affect the brain, including epilepsy, migraine, schizophrenia and cancer. Blanke's team began by analyzing the brains of 12 patients with neurological disorders who have reported having such a secondary representation of their body, in other words a ghost sensation. MRI scans revealed abnormalities with three brain regions involved in self-awareness, movement and the sense of position in space.

+{"article": "Poet: Sappho declared her love for women . The Greek island of Lesbos may be inextricably linked to the idea of female homosexuality \u2013 but in ancient times it was a notorious sexual playground for straight men, who found the local women irresistible. In a new BBC documentary, former Apprentice star Margaret Mountford will reveal that the island was the Magaluf of its day, and a capital for sex tourism. Professor Edith Hall from King's College London tells the programme: 'Lesbos had a very particular reputation for producing very beautiful women. They really were supposed to be the sexiest people in the entire Greek world.' She added that, in the Ancient Greek world, the word 'lesbian' actually meant a woman performing an intimate sex act on a man. Professor Hall also explained that the fact that Lesbos was closer to Turkey than Athens only added to the sexual allure of the women. She said: 'They also had a very interesting accent which would have sounded almost oriental to the Athenians. They were nearer Asia so their Greek accent would have been inflected like that.' Mountford then describes the island as 'the sex tourism capital of the ancient Aegean'. The programme examines the life and legacy of the female poet Sappho, who lived on the island around 600BC. She was one of the great writers of the ancient world, and wrote poems which appeared to be declarations of love for other women. As a result, both 'Sapphic' and the name of the island have now become synonymous with lesbianism \u2013 although such usage only started in the 19th Century. In 2008, residents of the island lost a legal fight to ban the use of the word 'lesbian' to describe gay women, arguing that the term violated their human rights and 'disgraced' them around the world. In the documentary, Mountford travels to Lesbos to try to uncover the truth about Sappho's life. The poet is believed to have had a daughter, and Mountford explores the differences between the ancient Greek concept of homosexuality and our own. Lesbos had a particular reputation for producing very beautiful women, the TV show will reveal . Modern day comparison: The island of Lesbos was the Magaluf of its day and a capital for sex tourism . Professor James Davidson said the willingness of the Ancient Greeks to embrace both male and female homosexuality may have been as much social as sexual. He said: 'Societies are strange and societies do strange things. This is a really peculiar cultural phenomenon. Instead of Greek homosexuality, I think it should be called Greek homo-besottedness. 'It is always over the top. It is always so extreme. 'The whole phenomenon of Greek homosexuality for men and for women seems to be a kind of cultural and social institution.

According to Iraqi officials, ISIS fighters have nearly surrounded the capital of western Anbar province, despite the best efforts of the Iraqi army and arriving Shiite paramilitary reinforcements. The advance is widely seen as an ISIS's attempt at an counteroffensive after being forced to abandon the important Iraqi city of Tikrit, earlier this month.

Officially, however, Zhou, 72, is the highest-level official charged as part of President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign that began in late 2012.

A useful side effect of the case will be that it will destroy for ever any hopes Zhou may have had of rivalling the party's leadership.

When he saw his friend in a fetal position in the ditch, he initially thought he was sleeping and called his name, he told police. But when Raymond failed to respond, Sharifi turned him over and saw blood on his face, and found no pulse, he said. At that point, he noticed the weapon beneath Raymond's body and threw it into a nearby drainage tunnel. Sharifi led police to the scene and they initially thought Raymond had been murdered because they did not find a weapon, the affidavit states. Speaking to police, Sharifi initially denied seeing a weapon but later admitted that he had given the boy the gun and had tried to hide it when he found it beneath his body. Loss: The body of Raymond Howell, Jr., pictured, was found early on Thursday morning a few miles from his school. Sharifi found his friend's body after Raymond's mother told him the boy was missing . Friends: The boys, who became friends after Sharifi moved next door, are pictured together with a friend . On social media, he also indicated that his friend had left him a note before taking his life. The two teenagers became friends after Sharifi moved in with one of Raymond's neighbors. 'No one understands how hard it is to lose someone so close to them, and to have found them before anyone else knew,' Sharifi wrote on Instagram last week. 'But I knew that you wanted me to find you and me to tell your mom and no one else, I will always cherish the letter that you wrote to me, and left for me to find, I love you so much man.' Sharifi, who once attended McKinney Boyd High School with Howell but is no longer enrolled there, allegedly confessed to police that he'd stolen the gun from the family he was staying with. He says he gave Howell the gun to protect himself after he'd gotten into some fights recently. Sharifi was charged with fabricating or tampering with evidence, theft of a firearm and making a firearm accessible to a child. His bond has been set at $300,000.

+{"article": "The moon is set to turn a sinister-looking blood red this Easter weekend. The total lunar eclipse will transform the moon on Saturday night and will be visible in the skies of North America, Asia and Australia. According to one US pastor, the event was predicted in the Bible and hints at an imminent world-changing event, but Nasa is quick to point out that the change in hue is entirely harmless. Scroll down for video . Saturday\u2019s total lunar eclipse, which will turn the moon a burnt reddish orange, will be visible in in the skies of North America, Asia and Australia. A previous total lunar eclipse as seen from Mexico city on December 21, 2010 is pictured . The eclipse is the third in a series of four blood moons, with the final one expected on September 28. Pastor John Hagee told The Mirror that the sight suggests a world-changing event will take place, as predicted in the Bible. According to the King James Bible: \u2018The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord comes.\u2019 Mr Hagee, who has written a book on the Tetrad called \u2018Four Blood Moons\u2019, said that because the Blood Moon falls on Easter Weekend, it\u2019s a sign that 'something dramatic will happen which will change the whole world'. The event is called a Tetrad since it involves four successive total blood red lunar eclipses each followed by six full moons. \u2018I believe we're going to see something dramatic happen in the Middle East involving Israel that will change the course of history in the Middle East and impact the whole world,' he said. The strange celestial sight, which will be visible in the US, was predicted in the Bible and could hint at a world-changing event, such as the return of Christ, according to one pastor. This image shows the red moon over a church in LA during the last blood moon in October last year . A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in the shadow of Earth. This is an area known as the umbra, where light from the Sun is blocked by our planet. The light refracts differently in the atmosphere and, as it hits the moon, it makes it appear red. This gives rise to its \u2018blood red\u2019 appearance during a total eclipse, when the entire moon is in shadow. If it skirts the shadow, known as a partial or penumbral eclipse, the effect is less dramatic. There are numerous mentions of blood moons in the Bible, such as in the Book of Joel, chapter two, which says the 'Day of the Lord will be as when the sun refuses to shine' and in Luke, which hints that signs in the sun, moon and stars will tell of the second coming. While the Bible prophesises blood moons, it does not give a timeline of when the significant event will happen. Mr Hagee said: \u2018It just says \u201cwhen you see these signs\u201d - and four blood moons is a", "summary": "Blood moon will be visible in the skies of North America, Asia and Australia .

Ex-Bolton Wanderers striker Delroy Facey, 34, is alleged to have become involved in the 'ugly side' of his sport by acting as a middleman for two men who have already been convicted of match-fixing. Facey, who also played for West Bromwich Albion and Hull City, denies conspiracy to commit bribery and is standing trial at Birmingham Crown Court alongside former non-league player Moses Swaibu, who also denies the charges. Delroy Facey (right) arrives at Birmingham Crown Court for the start of his trial on Monday. He is accused of being involved in a plot to fix lower league football matches . Facey (right) celebrates after scoring for Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League in 2003 . Opening the Crown's case against both Facey and Swaibu at the start of a three-week trial, prosecutor Nick Mather told jurors they would not need to know anything about football to try the defendants. Mr Mather told the jury panel: 'Football in this case is really nothing more than a means to an end - it's an opportunity to make money. 'It's described sometimes as the beautiful game but football has an ugly side to it as well, and it's that ugly side we are going to be looking at.' After explaining to jurors that match-fixers Chann Sankaran and Krishna Ganeshan were found guilty of conspiracy to commit bribery at a previous trial, Mr Mather alleged that Swaibu was one of the players they had tried to corrupt. Sankaran and Ganeshan, both from the Far East, were at the centre of the conspiracy, the court heard, having travelled to Britain with the specific purpose of fixing matches. Defendant Moses Swaibu (right) on the ball during an FA Cup match between Lincoln and Bolton in 2010 . The Crown alleges that the plot - which aimed to profit from rigged bets - targeted the lower leagues because of the high level of scrutiny surrounding the Premier League. Swaibu played at a semi-professional level between 2009 and 2014, including stints with London-based Sutton FC and Brighton club Whitehawk. Jurors were also given details of Facey's career, which included a spell at Lincoln City in which he earned around \u00a365,000 during the 2010/11 season. Describing Facey's alleged role in the conspiracy, Mr Mather added: 'He was a middleman, a fixer. He was somebody who cast his net around to find players who might be willing to take part in match-fixing.' By the time of the alleged conspiracy in November 2013, Mr Mather told the court, Facey was earning considerably less than previously. 'That may well have been his motivation, the prosecution say, for what took place,' Mr Mather said of Facey's reduced income.

Waitrose has 5.1 per cent of the market, up from 5 per cent, according to consumer research firm Kantar Worldpanel. Lidl claimed recently that Britain\u2019s middle classes had become the \u2018Lidl Classes\u2019 after sales rose by a fifth in a year. But while Lidl remains eighth behind Waitrose, Aldi is now one of Britain\u2019s mainstream supermarkets.

But Fraser McKevitt, at Kantar Worldpanel, said the success of Aldi and Lidl meant the entire structure of the \u2018supermarket landscape\u2019 was changing.

+{"article": "A New York-based documentary photographer has spent three years traveling the U.S. photographing and interviewing gay veterans and servicemen to share their stories of suppression, sadness and silence in a moving photo essay. Vincent Cianni, 63, said he embarked on the project, Gays in the Military, to better understand why homosexuals would enlist in the military to begin with; voluntarily signing up for a system that did, and in many ways still does, oppress them. 'It seems I spent most of my life uninterested in knowing about the military because I supported peace, the fight to end violence and injustice, and the sanctity of life,' the photographer told Vice. 'I couldn't understand why anyone would join the military, much less why gay people would join the military, an organization that shunned them.' Pieced together, Cianni's photos show commonalities between the subjects despite their different journeys, from a 92-year-old WW2 veteran to young soldiers who recently returned from Afghanistan. Many were discharged because of their sexuality, others were raped, assaulted and bullied, causing ongoing psychological damage. A major turning point for gay people in the military came in 2011 with the overturning of Dont Ask Don't Tell (DADT), a discouraging policy signed by Bill Clinton in 1993 that continued a ban on gay soldiers enlisting, but stopped investigations and 'witch hunts' into whether soldiers were gay. The bill was designed to protect the soldiers by keeping their sexuality a secret, however it forced them into the closet and further internalized their struggles. Gay and in the military: Zachary Werth (left), says he was discharged from the Army National Guard in 2010 because of his sexuality, while his boyfriend, Dustin Hiersekorn (right) left the Marine Corps due to medical reasons. They are one of the couples who appear in Gays in the Military, a stunning photo essay by Vincent Cianni documenting the stories of homosexual soldiers . Veteran: Paul Goercke, of San Francisco, is a World War II veteran who served in Okinawa, Hawaii and Saipan, said there was 'no evidence of gay life' when he enlisted with the Merchant Marines when he was 18 . 'The person I was dating was older than me and had been in the Navy quite a bit longer. She grew up under the old regime where there were active witch hunts to catch gay people in the act to get them out. I learned that culture and I was terrified the whole time I was in,' says Heather Davies (left), of Round Rock, Texas. She was a lieutenant in the US Navy from 1989 to 1998 . Togetherness: Matt McCary (right) was arrested in 2000 after being singled out by a fellow airman. He was discharged from the US Air Force within five days.

Twenty-two of the 50 Dartmouth students interviewed on Sunday mentioned the deadly 2012 terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya as a black mark on Clinton's record.

He said he believes Clinton's performance before, during and after should disqualify her from holding higher office. 'I definitely do,' he said. 'It shows how she acts under pressure.' Like most of his classmates, Poole was born during Bill Clinton's second term as president. Team Hillary is carefully cultivating his generation's progressives and moderates, emphasizing her grandmotherly listening skills while papering over her liabilities. Poole said he knows why Clinton isn't emphasizing her eight years as a presidential spouse. 'It almost seems like she tried to use the position of first lady to nudge her way into possessing political power,' he mused, dropping hints about her 'Hillarycare' medical insurance overhaul proposal.

Protest letters were delivered to members of Spain's Royal Language Academy, which produces the definitive dictionary. The Gypsy Secretariat Foundation, which are leading the campaign, are hoping to use it to raise awareness of discrimination against gypsies, also known as Roma. Members of Spain's gypsy community throw flower petals into the Manzanares river, symbolizing the departure of their ancestors from India and their exodus across the world during an event in memory of the Roma victims of the Nazi Holocaust in Madrid, Spain . The reference to a swindler ('trapacero') was introduced late last year following complaints about the 22nd edition entry that included a colloquial reference to a 'gypsy' ('gitano') as one 'who deceives or maneuvers to cheat.' 'Gypsies feel indignant,' said Sara Jimenez, 37, a Roma lawyer who works for the foundation's equality department. 'It's not fair because we are a people marked by prejudices, stereotypes and these type of contributions by the Royal Language Academy encourage rejection and stigmatization and do not correspond to gypsies in Spanish society.' The academy said definitions reflect actual use and are not meant to be derogatory but has offered to change the forthcoming online edition to clarify that such references are pejorative. Foundation spokeswoman Pilar Calon said the group did not object to other academy dictionary definitions for gypsy but would like the 'swindler' reference changed. 'That was a swindle in itself!' said Calon who hopes to meet with academy authorities - made up of esteemed authors, intellectuals and language experts- soon to discuss the issue.

+{"article": "For most people a hangover will have them reaching for the painkillers and greasy breakfast, but those living in ancient Egypt had a rather different approach. Historians have discovered a 1,900-year-old hangover cure written on an ancient Egyptian papyrus. Written in Greek, one of the medical recipes offers advice for how to tackle a 'drunken headache' - with the leaves of a shrub called Alexandrian chamaedaphne, or sometimes Alexandrian laurel. The text recommends stringing the leaves of the evergreen plant, also called Ruscus racemosus, together and possibly wearing it around the neck. This papyrus was found in Oxyrhynchus, Egypt, and contains a medical 'recipe' for treating a hangover . While the text recommends this as a way of relieving headaches brought on by alcohol, it is not known if it had any effect. The treatment was discovered as part of an ongoing effort to translate the Oxyrhynchus papyrus - more than 500,000 documents found in an ancient rubbish tip at the Egyptian town of Oxyrhynchus, about 100 miles south of Cairo. Oxyrhynchus lies south west of Cairo and is considered to be one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt. It has yielded a huge collection of papyrus texts from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods of Egyptian history and among them are fragments of plays and the Gospel of Thomas. The city was built around a system of canals and inhabitants dumped their rubbish at nearby sand hills, including lots of written material as Oxyrhynchus was governed bureaucratically by the Greeks and the Romans. Archaeologists have discovered tax returns, census material, receipts, letters about religion, politics, military action and diaries, giving them a thorough picture of everyday life. In 1896, two young excavators - Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt - from the University of Oxford began to excavate the site and combed through the rubbish. While they were concerned with finding works of high literature, they realised the importance of the discarded everyday material. Some 500,000 papyrus fragments are now kept at the university's Sackler Library; among them the account of match fixing. The hangover treatment was one of 24 new medical texts that are the latest to be translated - the 101st volume of translations to be published. Among the documents, researchers at the University of Oxford and University College London have found 11 copies of known medical texts by Galen and Hippocrates alongside the new medical texts. They also found four documents that appeared to be doctors notes. Dr David Leith, a historian and research fellow at the University of Exeter who translated the medical papyrus, said: 'The remedies appear to cross what we might see as the boundary between magic and medicine - and although some ancient doctors disliked making use of \"magical\" remedies, this was far from always the case.' The recipe for drunken headache - kraipale in Greek - read: 'For drunken headache: wear leaves of Alexandrian chamaedaphne strung together.'

Durst is pictured here last month in New Orleans . Attorney Dick DeGuerin whispered into Durst's ear as he entered the plea. He had to whisper twice before Durst said, 'I am not guilty, your honor.' Judge Franz Zibilich asked if Durst was making that plea to both charges against him. DeGuerin whispered again, and Durst said, 'Yes, your honor.' The weapons arrest has kept Durst in New Orleans even though he waived extradition to California, where he's charged in the December 2000 death of a longtime friend. Durst is being held without bail in the mental ward of a state prison. Durst's story also is playing out two miles away in federal court in New Orleans. An affidavit filed there accuses Durst of breaking a federal law prohibiting felons from possessing firearms. Prosecutors have asked a U.S. magistrate judge to order Durst to be brought to federal court for a hearing next Thursday \u2014 and that he remain in U.S. custody until the federal matter is resolved. Durst, an estranged member of the family that runs 1 World Trade Center in New York, has had multiple run-ins with the law over his nearly 72 years. He was arrested in New Orleans last month on the eve of the finale of a six-part HBO documentary called 'The Jinx' about Durst, the disappearance of his first wife in 1982, the death of a longtime friend in 2000 and the death and dismemberment of a neighbor in Galveston in 2001. Murdered: Susan Berman, who acted as a media spokesperson for Durst in the wake of his wife's disappearance, was shot in the head at her LA home in 2000, just as the cold case into the disappearance of Kathleen Durst was reopened. Durst was charged with Berman's murder last month . A self-defense plea won acquittal in the death of Morris Black, but Durst is charged in Los Angeles with murder in the death of longtime friend Susan Berman, 55, who was shot in the head in 2000. Berman, an author, acted as a media spokesperson for Durst in the wake of his wife's disappearance. The Jinx suggested she knew a lot about Durst.

His Dumbarton side have faced both of his former teams in the league this term and will do so once again in the final weeks of the campaign. But while Stuart McCall's men have the momentum at present - beating Hibs and Cowdenbeath while Alan Stubbs' men also lost to Raith - Murray wouldn't be surprised to see the balance of power swing back towards Easter Road before long. Dumbarton boss Ian Murray believes that Rangers will struggle to maintain their pace through the run-in . Rangers - currently level on points but having played a game less - still have two matches to play against title winners Hearts, including Sunday's match at Ibrox, while the Leith side take on their city rivals just once more. HIBS: April 4 Queen of the South (h); April 8 Dumbarton (a); April 12 Hearts (h); April 22 Livingston (a); April 25 Alloa (h); May 2 Falkirk (a) RANGERS: April 5 Hearts (h); April 9 Queen of the South (a); April 12 Raith (h); April 15 Livingston (a); April 18 Dumbarton (a); April 25 Falkirk (h); May 2 Hearts (a) 'Rangers got a good result against Cowdenbeath last Saturday to keep themselves in contention and I think it's going to be close but I still believe Hibs have the easier run-in,' said Murray. 'They do have tough games as well including one against Hearts and if they're serious about finishing second, they need to beat the likes of ourselves and Queen of the South at Easter Road this Saturday. 'The derby will take care of itself. I think it's going to be really tight and I can't see either side going through the rest of the season undefeated. Both will drop points. 'But the fact Rangers play Hearts twice and one of those games is on the final day of the season doesn't help them. With Hearts getting the trophy at Tynecastle after that match, it doesn't do them any favours as that's a game Rangers might need to win. 'Hibs were favourites to finish second for a while after they beat Rangers 4-0 at Easter Road then 2-0 at Ibrox and because of the lack of form Rangers were showing. Both wins were comfortable and suggested Hibs had overtaken Rangers. Although they've been pegged back since, I still think Hibs are slightly ahead.' Rangers' attacking midfielder Haris Vuckic, on loan from Newcastle, scores against Cowdenbeath at Irbox . The team finishing second face a potential four games to get back into the top flight, while the third team have a potential six. Murray's Dumbarton team are virtually assured of a place in next year's second tier thanks to a 14-point lead over second-bottom Cowdenbeath and could become mathematically safe this weekend after they play Jimmy Nicholl's strugglers on Saturday.

And for those facing the bleakest of prognoses \u2013 that, barring a miracle, the disease will cut short their young lives \u2013 the agony is almost indescribable. So the decision to enrol such a child on to a trial for largely untested treatments that may save them, but may make them suffer far more, is another kind of mental anguish altogether. Now, a ground-breaking television documentary filmed over two years follows three children and their families through such a situation. Battler: Chloe Ballouqui during her treatment.

This allows a transplant of new bone marrow containing immune system cells, harvested either from the patient or a donor. These cells are genetically modified in a laboratory so they are better at attacking cancer. Similar treatments have been carried out in America, and although the early results look hopeful, the risks are huge and many of the terminally ill young patients die from complications. The toxicity of the immunotherapy means children often have to be sedated and given strong painkillers such as morphine, to cope with the treatment, and many end up in intensive care. When presented with these facts, some parents decide the risks are simply to great, yet others choose to go ahead.

Pass us a smoke mate: The term 'bogan' has a number of negative connotations for Australians but has become a character part of popular folklore, being depicted here by actor Eric Bana . Mr Burke said the 3.6-metre statue would show a 'bloke' wearing shorts, thongs and a singlet with a fishing rod and a tuckerbox. Locals and visitors would also be able to sit on it and take photographs.

'Although I do not like the way a 'bogan' is depicted and I do not want Nyngan to be thought of as being a town full of \u201cbogans\u201d, it is a term that is widely used and well known in Australia and New Zealand. 'Where better in Australia could we have \u201cThe Big Bogan\u201d than on the banks of the Bogan River, in Bogan Shire?' Bogan Shire Council, in western New South Wales, wants to erect a 'big bogan' statue . The 'big bogan' statue could prove as popular as the Big Banana which is a tourist attraction in Coffs Harbour . Mr Burke's proposal is for a 3.6m tall steel figure cut out of 5mm steel plate. The figure is wearing a singlet, has a handlebar moustache and is holding a fishing rod. The esky in the original drawing would be constructed as a three dimensional steel box fixed to the sculpture to allow tourists to sit on to have their photo taken. 'I would like the sculpture to be related to Nyngan on the Bogan River, I have used the fishing theme and I would like to see it located on the eastern side of the Peter Sinclair Bridge opposite the Tritton Mine Village,' Mr Bourke said. 'In this location it would be on the highway, at the river, and visible from both directions.' The traditional bogan image has include a 'mullett' style haircut, singlet and thongs, and beer .

One African elephant has take a particular liking to resort's pool and deck area - so much so staff have nicknamed the elephant Troublesome.

Troublesome isn't shy of the resort staff and has no problem spraying them with water from his trunk . Troublesome is a regular visitor to Etali in the Madikwe Game Reserve and has become a regular visitor to the splash pools there over the past four years, much to guests' amusement.

Troublesome likes to dip his trunk into the pools for a drink, but also enjoys having some fun with the humans and has no problem spraying them with water - or maybe he's reminding them who's boss.

Troublesome has been a regular visitor to Etali in the Madikwe Game Reserve for the past four years . A guest watches on as Troublesome wanders around the deck and pool area as if he owns the joint . Safety concerns and the fact he is emptying out the pools with his antics have led resort staff to take action and try to keep their four-legged friend out of the grounds, but it appears Troublesome is living up to his name and keeps out-witting them. Etali Safari Lodge's manager Kristoff Potgieter said efforts to deter him have fallen on deaf ears.

With the sunshine beaming this week and some of the highest temperatures recorded so far this year, what better moment to splash out on the new third-generation Audi TT Roadster. It goes on sale this month. Just the time to get the roof off on this softtop German sports car, which has established itself as a firm favourite in the 16 years it has been on the road. I drove the fully stocked four-wheel-drive 2-litre TFSI in S-line quattro trim with 230 bhp, which was adept at whipping around the Cotswolds in style. Sure-footed and fun to drive with lively acceleration that takes it from rest to 62 mph in just 6.1 seconds up to a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph. CO2 emissions are a fair 154g/km.

The research also claims that girls do better at all ages, in all subjects and all over the world. According to the data, compiled by the University of New Brunswick in Canada, girls have been outperforming boys throughout their academic careers, from infant school to secondary school.

Visitors are able to kayak through the waters, or explore adjacent chambers on foot. The cave is only able to be safely accessed during the dry season from November to April and during this time the water is clear and deep with a rich green hue. For some of the grander shots, a team of four equipped with powerful LED lights and walkie-talkies helped to light-paint this enormous cavern for this long exposure shot. In 2008, an expedition, co-led by veteran caver John Pollack lead to the mysterious caves being mapped and photographed for the first time. What the explorers discovered about the little-known cavern was a vast river cave, which means a cavern with an active water source flowing through it. 'Everything about the cave is big-from its towering entrances to its phobia-inducing spiders, which can be 10inches across,' Pollack told National Geographic. Nature at its best!

Julie Merner, 39, has revealed her alcoholism has cost the NHS \u00a3100,000. In the last six years, the mother-of-three, who suffers severe liver cirrhosis, has been admitted to hospital 13 times . But the damage to her health is severe. She can barely manage to speak as she struggles for breath. And her stomach regularly bloats with liquid, which is no longer being processed by her liver. Regularly, up to 18 litres of fluid has to be drained away via a tube. Admitting she only has herself to blame, Ms Merner added she does not feel any shame in needing treatment. 'I don't see it as a waste of money, they are helping with a problem I have - an addiction,' she said. Ms Merner, from Bootle, Merseyside, hopes her story will push the Government and society to do more to prevent Britain's killer drinking epidemic. Taxpayers pay up \u00a33.5 billion a year to treat alcohol-related problems, and that figure is set to rise. In the last 20 years, the number of alcohol-related deaths has doubled. While smoking, drug-taking and obesity are increasingly frowned upon, drinking is still socially acceptable, Ms Merner highlighted.

Taxpayers pay up \u00a33.5 billion a year to treat alcohol-related problems, and that figure is set to rise. In the last 20 years, the number of alcohol-related deaths has doubled. At the peak of her addiction, Ms Merner was drinking a bottle of vodka a day. More than 6 standard drinks per day for men, and 4 standard drinks for women, is known to cause harm. Long term effects of alcohol on the liver include impaired liver functioning, severe pain, inflammation (hepatitis) and cirrhosis. Research published late last month revealed that binge drinking is costing Britain a staggering \u00a34.9bn every year - or \u00a3550,000 an hour. This is because it triggers, for example, a 45 per cent increase in arrests and a 17 per cent rise in road accidents, economists from Bath University calculated.

But a recent survey revealed that almost three-quarters of UK holidaymakers are at risk of UV exposure because they use out-of-date sun cream. Many experts recommend that we wear sunscreen every day all year round for anti-ageing purposes. Certainly now the weather is heating up, damaging UVA and UVB rays will be stronger. So, can we use old suncreams? \u2018Sun cream contains UV filters which fall into two main categories: synthetic or organic filters, which absorb UV light; and mineral or inorganic filters, such as titanium dioxide, which mainly reflect UV light. Frequently, both types are used in combination,\u2019 says Dr Chris Flower of the CTPA (Cosmetic, Toiletry & Perfumery Association). The issue is that out-of-date lotions may separate and not spread evenly, meaning you may not be completely covered with those vital UV filters, even if the active ingredients remain stable.

A new technique that effectively gives a personal treatment for cancer has been found by scientists. It harnesses the power of the body\u2019s immune system and targets it at tumours. Early experiments have demonstrated that the new method could revolutionise cancer care. Scientists have found a system of priming the body\u2019s immune system to recognise, attack and kill off cancerous cells in lung, skin and bowel tumours. The team which carried out the research found that early trials \u2018profoundly retarded\u2019 tumour growth in mice. Survival rates were boosted by more than 50 per cent, according to results published in the journal Nature last night. The scientists are now recruiting patients with skin cancer for the first clinical trial on humans. British experts said it is the most promising sign yet that \u2018personal\u2019 treatments may be effective in treating a wide range of cancers. Until now most cancer drugs have been designed according to the type of tumour they are attacking \u2013 a broad-brush approach in which the type of drug is selected depending on the body part in which the tumour is sited. But the new focus on personal cancer therapy instead aims to harness each individual\u2019s immune system and give it a boost depending on the genetic make-up of the tumour itself. The ground-breaking technique may provide a universal blueprint for vaccines that can target a wide range of human cancers. And it overcomes the problem of cancer presenting an ever-moving target that constantly evolves to evade the immune system. Scientists last night welcomed the German team\u2019s breakthrough. Professor Kevin Harrington, from the Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: \u2018This study provides the first evidence that we may be on the threshold of being able to produce individualised vaccines directed against specific mutations present in a patient\u2019s tumour. Advances: People with skin cancer are now being recruited for the first human trial . \u2018Rapid production of purpose-built vaccines appears possible and can now be tested in carefully designed clinical trials. \u2018As yet, this approach must be seen as experimental but it potentially represents a new way of harnessing the power of the immune system against cancer.\u2019 The scientists, led by Dr Ugur Sahin, of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, identified tumour-specific mutations linked to the different cancers and showed that many of them could be recognised by the body\u2019s immune system. They then created vaccines based on the body\u2019s own RNA \u2013 a genetic messenger \u2013 which encouraged the immune system to direct itself towards the weakest part of the tumour. The treatment was shown to boost the body\u2019s T-cells, which detect, hunt down and destroy cancer cells. Of the mice treated, two-thirds were alive after 100 days. Of those that did not receive treatment all died within 65 days. When repeated vaccinations were administered, \u2018tumour growth was profoundly retarded\u2019, the authors wrote.

In a letter sent to all parents during the school holidays, the principal of St Peter\u2019s College in Cranbourne East, Tim Hogan admitted that \u2018Class A\u2019 recycled water had been inadvertently connected to an outdoor drinking fountain. The bubbler had been dispensing recycled water for 16 months\u2013 from December 17 2013 until April 1 2015. \u2018The cross-connection came to our attention through the maintenance staff of the College on the 30th of March, 2015,\u2019 Mr Hogan wrote in the letter, issued on April 14. Unfortunately for students, \u2018Class A\u2019 recycled water is sewage that has been treated to a standard that\u2019s safe for watering gardens, washing clothes and flushing toilets. Students at Melbourne high school St Peter's College were drinking from a bubbling dispensing recycled water for more than a year . Although it is the highest quality of recycled water, the water that the students had been consuming is not considered acceptable for consumption. Whilst drinking the water, the students would have been at a greater risk of contracting gastroenteritis or diarrhoea due to the possible presence of a parasite, Cryptosporidium. An investigation has been launched by the Department of Health and Human Services to assess the extent of the possible health impact on the students. The principal assured students, parents and staff that the drinking fountain was shut down on April 1 and is no longer in use. The other 20 bubblers at the school have been tested and none show traces of recycled water. The ongoing investigation will determine the number of students who have drunk from the water foundation since it became contaminated. Although it is the highest quality of recycled water, the water that the students had been consuming is not considered acceptable for consumption . \u2018The Department has advised that drinking the Class A recycled water may have led to a slightly increased risk of gastro,\u2019 the principal warned.

With a growing demand for nurses to work long hours, Unison has called for more research into the effects of workers' health. At the union's healthcare conference in Liverpool this week, one member highlighted how staff at a hospital in Staffordshire are expected to work six long days a week, totalling up to 78 hours a week. Jane Smith told colleagues: 'The fact staff are so tired has a detrimental effect on patient care and (also) puts other staff at risk.' Nurses working 12-hour shifts amid staffing shortages in the NHS are treated like 'slave labour', one Unison member has warned, as she called for more research into how longer working hours affect staff health . She said she was aware of one nurse who had worked 11 consecutive long day shifts, the Nursing Times reported. In a stretched NHS, longer shifts are now more common, offering a cost-effective strategy. In the past the working day was divided into three, eight-hour shifts - the norm for nursing shifts for many years. But, as in many other industries, a move towards two longer shifts per day is now more common. The theory is the shift pattern offers greater cost effectiveness for the NHS, in the form of fewer handovers, deemed unproductive. And for staff the change offers a better work-life balance, in the form of more days off, it has been argued. But Ms Smith likened long shifts to 'slave labour', warning staff are falling sick due to exhaustion. 'The fact staff are so tired has a detrimental effect on patient care and not only compromises their own health but puts other staff at risk,' she said. 'There is a case for saying there is a better way [of organising shift work]' A motion calling for Unison to investigate the health impact of long shifts on nurses was passed at the conference. It comes as the Royal College of Nursing this week revealed, in their final report before next month's General Election, that despite a rise in the total number of nurses since 2010, 'the reality on the ground is that there are fewer nurses, providing more care'. Their Fragile Frontline report said the total number of posts in the last five years has risen by 6,434, but warned 'the true picture is less positive'. The increase in total nursing workforce, excluding midwives, health visitors and school nurses, is only 1,470. While the number of FTE posts has increased, the number of people filling those posts has fallen by 1,845, meaning that fewer nurses are providing more care. Dr Peter Carter, RCN chief executive and general secretary, said: 'We warned that cutting the workforce numbers to fund the NHS reorganisation and to find the efficiency savings was the wrong course to take.

The study compared its results to the most severe emissions scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). 'Based on our analysis, a middle-of-the-road warming scenario is more likely, at least for now,' said Patrick Brown, a doctoral student in climatology at Duke University. 'But this could change.' The Duke-led study says that variability is caused by interactions between the ocean and atmosphere, and other natural factors. They claim these 'wiggles' can slow or speed the rate of warming from decade to decade, and exaggerate or offset the effects of increases in greenhouse gas concentrations. If not properly explained and accounted for, they may skew the reliability of climate models and lead to over-interpretation of short-term temperature trends. Summary of projected changes in crop yields in a previous IPCC report. Because 'climate wiggles' were not accounted for, the Duke University researchers say the report may have been an over-interpretation of short-term temperature trends . The research, uses observed data, rather than the more commonly used climate models, to estimate decade-to-decade variability. 'At any given time, we could start warming at a faster rate if greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere increase without any offsetting changes in aerosol concentrations or natural variability,' said Wenhong Li, assistant professor of climate at Duke, who conducted the study with Brown. Infectious diseases, such as Ebola and West Nile virus, will rapidly spread to new areas as a result of global warming. This is according to zoologist, Professor Daniel Brooks, who warns humans can expect to face new illnesses as climate change brings crops, livestock, and humans into contact with pathogens.

The nationalists are also on course to wipe out the Liberal Democrats in Scotland, with even Charles Kennedy, their popular former leader, now 15 points behind in his Highlands constituency.

Ramsey, the only black manager in the Premier League, has been vocal on racism in football in the past and supports John Barnes\u2019s assertion that black managers find it difficult to get another job after being sacked. \u2018Just because I\u2019m sitting here I\u2019m not going to change my views of many years,\u2019 said Ramsey, who takes his side to West Brom in search of a much-needed three points on Saturday. Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey claims that covert racism still exists in football boardrooms . Ramsey believes that the implementing of a Rooney Rule could help raise awareness of the 'covert' issue . John Barnes\u2019 view that black managers find it hard to get a job after being sacked was backed up by Ramsey . \u2018The fact we\u2019re still, at this stage of the game, highlighting that I\u2019m the only black Premier League manager shows that it\u2019s not the norm to have people from ethnic minorities in this position. \u2018So until this becomes normal, and it\u2019s not highlighted in such a spectacular fashion, racism will be prominent. \u2018Obviously, I\u2019m in a very fortunate position to be the manager of QPR but I hope people won\u2019t look at that as a token gesture. I think I\u2019ve earned my stripes to be in this position. Barnes' last managerial job was at Tranmere in 2009. He lasted four months before being sacked . Ramsey is operating as the only black manager in the Premier League as he looks to keep QPR up . Ramsey was without a job for seven months after leaving his coaching role at Tottenham last season . \u2018I think that there are other people who are probably more talented or better suited, from a profile point of view, as many white managers who have got jobs based on their profile and playing experience.\u2019 The 52-year-old manager thinks that discrimination isn\u2019t exclusive to race and that the Rooney Rule \u2014 which obliges America\u2019s NFL teams to interview minority candidates for top jobs \u2014 might be the solution here. \u2018If it doesn\u2019t work out for me here, I think that, as any manager of any race, I think you\u2019re always in a position where it\u2019s difficult to get another job,\u2019 he said. QPR travel to face West Bromwich Albion after disappointingly losing at home to Everton last time out . Aaron Lennon is congratulated by his team-mates at Loftus Road as the QPR players head for the half-way line . \u2018As a black man, I think it\u2019s always going to be difficult anyway. I think the Rooney Rule is an important factor as there\u2019s an awareness that something has to be done to affect the way people think in boardrooms. \u2018I\u2019m not just talking about race, I\u2019m talking about gender, homophobia and other issues.

Manuel Garza Jr. received a lethal injection of pentobarbital for killing San Antonio Police Officer John 'Rocky' Riojas in February 2001. He is the sixth convicted murderer to be put to death in Texas this year. The U.S. Supreme Court had refused in November to review his case, and no last-day appeals were filed before his execution. Manuel Garza Jr. was given the death sentence after killing San Antonio Police Officer John 'Rocky' Riojas in February 2001 . Asked to make a final statement, Garza said he was sorry for causing pain to his family, friends and 'especially police officers'. 'Y'all probably hate me,' he said, looking at three friends of his victim, dressed in their navy blue San Antonio police uniforms. He wished them 'peace and love and hope y'all find God like I have and I'll see you on the other side.' As the lethal drug began taking effect, Garza uttered: 'Here it comes!' His voice rose as he said 'Goodbye,' and then he let out a howl that was cut short within seconds as he took three deep breaths, then a couple of shallow ones. He was pronounced dead 26 minutes later at 6.40pm. Before his death, Garza was given the same food as the rest of the inmates in his unit for his final meal because Texas no longer allows special-order last meals, according toLast Suppers. He had a grilled pork chop, sweet potatoes, green beans, black beans, cornbread, and peach cake, with a choice of water, tea, or punch to drink.

Garza ran off and witnesses say that when Riojas caught up with him, the two struggled and Garza grabbed the officer's gun. Riojas, 37, was fatally shot in the head. Witnesses said Garza put Riojas's gun in his pants, cursed at the fallen officer, and ran away. Garza was apprehended a day later at his sister's apartment after an informant told detectives that someone had tried to sell him the officer's missing semi-automatic service weapon. In a statement to detectives, Garza blamed Riojas. 'I truly think this was the cop's fault,' he said. 'I don't see why he wanted to pull out his gun.' Garza said he initially ran because he feared the officer would discover he was wanted on outstanding warrants. 'I didn't want to go to jail,' he said. While being escorted to a holding cell after his arrest, court documents described Garza as cocky and smirking. Riojas (pictured), 37, was part of a team targeting property crimes at apartment complexes. Garza fled when he was stopped by Riojas, which led to a struggle and the police officer's death .

Justus Howell was gunned down from behind by an officer in Zion, Illinois on Saturday afternoon after officers were called to reports of an argument. The chief of the Zion Police Department has now said that the argument was in fact a scuffle over a handgun - during which the firearm went off and Howell allegedly pointed it at another teenager. Killed: Justus Howell, 17, was shot twice in the back by police in Zion, Illinois, on Saturday afternoon . 'Stole a handgun': Police say that Howell had just taken a weapon from Tramond Peet, 18, who was trying to sell it to him . Steve Dumyahn said Howell was struggling over a gun with Tramond Peet, 18, and started running when police showed up. Peet told officers he met Howell with the intention of selling him the gun - but Howell tried to snatch it without paying. He then claimed the two tussled over the weapon, which was fired into the ground. At one point, he said, Howell was pointing it at him. Peet told investigators that he let go of the gun when he heard sirens. He said Howell ran and that he heard officers shouting instructions, then opening fire. An autopsy on Howell revealed that he was hit by two bullets, both from behind. Aftermath: Investigators are pictured above at the scene of the shooting, which took place around 2pm . One his his left side and penetrated his heart, spleen and liver. The second hit him on the right side of his back. Tests to see whether there were drugs in Howell's body are not finished yet.

Ancient civilisations such as the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians have had to deal with rowdy, drunken behaviour in public for thousands of years. Now one academic suggests that modern authorities should take a lead from their forebears as they attempt to mitigate the impact of our boozy culture. Party: This relief from Herculaneum shows Bacchus, the god of wine, with followers at a frenzied gathering . Contrast: Health experts have compared ancient nights out to modern drinking spots such as Magaluf . Mark Bellis, who is honorary professor of public health at Bangor University, is giving a talk at a conference in Las Vegas this week about the history of binge drinking. In his lecture, entitled 'Lessons from the history of nightlife - 10,000 years from Mesopotamia to Vegas', he will examine how our distant ancestors balanced freedom with responsiblity in regulating nightlife. He told the Independent: 'We think we're discovering the problems of nightlife for the first time, but these have been with us for a long time. 'There's always been a tension in history: people want a safe night out, but they also demand freedom and an element of anonymity.' Vessel: A Greek amphora which could have been used for holding the wine which was drunk in large quantities at feasts . Many of the concerns of the ancient authorities were strikingly similar to ours, according to Dr Bellis. In Pompeii - where one of the best-preserved buildings after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius is a tavern - city officials installed street lights, only to face opposition from drinkers who were worried about sacrificing their privacy. The Greeks launched wide-scale campaigns to dissuade drunkenness, with playwrights using gods in their productions to warn against alcohol abuse. And in Egypt, one of the major concerns was mixing drink and drugs, as many locals would consume a narcotic flower called 'blue lotus' while knocking back beer, Dr Bellis says. He told the Independent: 'People look for an escape from the social and behavioural constraints of the day. That's what night has always been about.' The official preview of his talk, set to take place tomorrow, reads: 'The foundations of modern nightlife go back thousands of years to when people first abandoned nomadic lives to build and live in cities. 'Since then, countless cultures have added their own innovations and regulations in attempts to balance safety and security with excitement and anonymity. 'Looking back at how nightlife developed over the past 10,000 years, we can learn from history's successes and failures and develop a greater insight into the challenges posed by nightlife today.' The use of alcohol goes back to the Stone Age, and almost all societies around the world have made some sort of drink - despite the problems that come with a booze culture. Some of the earliest written texts, from Mesopotamia, make reference to alcohol - the law code of Hammurabi, from 1750 BC, contains regulations stopping tavern", "summary": "Health expert Mark Bellis says alcohol abuse goes back as far as ancient civilisations such as the Greeks and Mesopotamians .

The polished evergreen foliage of Camellias makes for a great contrast to the brightly coloured flowers . Camellias are amazingly versatile. You can give them free rein or prune to keep them compact. I've seen them trained on walls, bent over arches and even grown as hedging. Tender kinds such as C. reticulata make outstanding conservatory plants. Camellias are happy in sun or shade and grow as readily among other shrubs as in isolation. Though frost will damage open flowers, the buds and plants of most are bone hardy. And unlike other spring shrubs, camellias stagger their flowering over a long time. PERFECT FOR POTS . Potted camellias won't last as long as those in the ground. They tend to lose their youthful charm after five or six years, but are not difficult to propagate. If you don't want to buy new, take root cuttings and bring them on as replacements. The best time to take cuttings is between September and February, but you can try it now. Select healthy young shoots for leaf bud cuttings. Snip out sections, each with a single leaf and a little bud by the leaf stalk. Sever each stem just above that bud and again an inch below the leaf. Put the cutting in a mix of potting compost and grit or Perlite and place in a cold frame or propagator. This is also a good time to buy camellia plants. You can see them in flower, select your favourites and enjoy this year's display. The choice is vast, with 250 wild species and hundreds more garden varieties.

Researchers say that three quarters of extreme hot weather and 18 per cent of heavy precipitation is being driven by global warming that has occurred due to man-made emissions. They warn that as climate change pushes global temperatures higher over the coming decades, humans will become responsible for 40 per cent of extreme rainfall events. Researchers say 75% of extreme hot weather and 18% of heavy precipitation is being driven by global warming as a result of man-made emissions. They warn that as climate change pushes global temperatures higher, humans will be responsible for 40% of extreme rainfall events (floods in Somerset in 2014 are shown) The scientists claim it is the rarest and most destructive events that seem to be the most responsive to human influence. Dr Erich Fischer, from the institute for atmospheric and climate science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich who led the study, said: 'Climate change includes not only changes in mean climate but also in weather extremes. Global temperatures were the highest since records began in 1880, according to scientists. Temperatures across the world averaged 0.8\u00b0C (1.4\u00b0F) above 20th century averages - making 2014 the warmest year in records dating back 134 years. The Met Office has already announced that 2014 was the hottest year for the UK in records dating back to 1910. Scientists have also warned that 2015 could be warmer still. Earlier this month they revealed that the Earth experienced its hottest month of March since record-keeping began in 1880. The first three months of 2015 have all set new high temperature marks. Last month's average temperature soared to 56.4\u00b0F (13.6\u00b0C), which is 1.5\u00b0F (0.85\u00b0C) above the average for the 20th century. Also of concern was the finding that Arctic sea ice was the lowest on record for March. Much of the most abnormal heat has been in the Pacific Ocean and places near it. Seven western U.S. states set records for their hottest first three months of the year, while New York and Vermont set records for the coldest start of a year. Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia have also all been warmer than normal. Blunden blames the record heat on a combination of El Ni\u00f1o, a blob of record hot water in the Northeast Pacific Ocean and human-caused climate change.

However, more and more people are said to be buying the kits to carry out their own dental work as the price of receiving filling by a NHS dentist in England is as much as \u00a352. More and more people suffering from dental problems are turning to DIY dentistry kits due to the price of NHS dental treatment (picture posed by model) According to the Guardian, one of the biggest sellers of first aid dental kits is DenTek, who sell around 250,000 products a year, although there is no research on how they are used.

It also found that some NHS dental surgeries can have waiting lists of up to two years.

Their survey found that 17 per cent of people would remove their own tooth and that almost 80 per cent of those asked would leave a problem with their teeth until they could afford a dental appointment. The foundation also warned about 'senseless' examples of people pulling out the wrong tooth and ending up with infections after resorting to using doorknobs and string to yank out painful and infected teeth.

From high protein to low fat, calorie counters to slimming shakes, we are bombarded by diet plans promising the holy grail of weight loss. But if you just can't shed the pounds - or keep them off - then help may be at hand. A landmark report claims to have established which diets are most likely to work - and keep the weight off in the long term. The US researchers say very few of these - often very expensive - weight loss plans have solid evidence to back up their claims. In fact, the results suggest only a few programmes have shown their users lose more weight than those not using them. Others produce no better results than people dieting on their own or getting health information elsewhere, while some may actually be harmful to health. Crucially, very few have been shown to keep the weight off permanently. But a handful - including Weight Watchers, the Atkins diet, Jenny Craig and NutriSystem - do appear to be effective, according to long-term studies.

While the other members of the Newcastle Five have managed a paltry 44 minutes of football between them, the Slovenian has positively thrived at Rangers. So much so, in fact, that he admits any possibility of staying at Ibrox beyond the end of this season would be an immensely attractive option. Whether or not that can happen will depend on a number of factors. Vuckic has denied a report on Tyneside stating he had already declared his intention to quit St James Park, where he has one year left on his contract. Summer discussions with his parent club will have to take place. Haris Vuckic has thrived at Rangers under new manager Stuart McCall . By then, he will also know whether Rangers have fulfilled their aim of promotion via the play-offs.

I will get options and I have to take the option that is best for me.\u2019 And if Rangers were to make an offer for his services come the end of the season? Vuckic has won over Rangers fans with six goals from 10 games, including this strike against Hearts . \u2018That would be a good option because I\u2019m really enjoying my football here,\u2019 replied Vuckic. \u2018I\u2019m scoring goals, playing well and the fans like me.

A groundbreaking facial surgeon has been struck off after repeatedly punching a patient in the face 'like a boxer' to fix his broken cheekbone. Professor Ninian Peckitt, 63, claimed he was attempting to reduce the fracture when he hit the patient up to ten times while a colleague held his head, a medical hearing heard. The patient, known as Patient A, had come to Ipswich Hospital in February 2012 after an industrial accident and been operated on by Prof Peckitt, who is a world-renowned facial surgeon. But he required a second procedure after falling off the bed in hospital which displaced his cheekbone. That's when Prof Peckitt struck the patient while he was under anesthetic. Prof Peckitt, an honorary locum consultant in oral and maxillo-facial surgery at Ipswich Hospital, claimed he 'digitally manipulated' the patient's face and denied any wrongdoing. But he was 'erased' from the medical register after the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) panel found that his fitness to practice was impaired. The hearing heard that Patient A could have been blinded by the force of the punches from Professor Peckitt. Chair Dr Ian Spafford said 'under no circumstances' would it be appropriate to apply enough force to potentially damage to the optic nerve. Erica Rapaport, a dental surgeon with more than 30 years experience, said she was told to hold the patient's head before the first punch. She said she was left in 'total shock' and there were gasps from colleagues in the operating theatre as she gave a harrowing account of the procedure. 'He made his hand into a fist and he hit the patient in the face on the left side of his cheek. 'His hand was about six inches away. I think the first time he punched the patient I wasn't holding him and it was then that I was instructed to do so by Prof Peckitt. 'He said that when the patient fell out of bed, the cheekbone which was already fractured was moved outwards so he was trying to re-position it without having to make further cuts to the face. 'He said this at least after the first punch. 'He applied about ten punches like a boxer. He took aim and then punched. 'The first punch was unexpected and then he explained what he was doing. He spoke as he punched again and again.' After graduating in medicine from the University of Sheffield in 1979, Mr Peckitt completed further training with the Royal College of Surgeons of England and became a Fellow of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery in 2009. He has lectured on titanium implants and been published in medical journals so Miss Rapaport said she came into the hospital on her day off to take part in surgery and learn about his renowned techniques.

A business called Edward\u2019s Snow Den has appeared in the US President\u2019s headquarters . It is thought that Edward Snowden was living in a secret location in Russia . Nothing happens when the icon for it is clicked, but for a short while it was listed as a snowboard shop, open between 5am and 11pm, according to thenextweb.com. Several reviews appeared underneath the listing, including one which gave it a five star rating and described it as a \u2018great source of classified information\u2019. Mr Seely, from Seattle, told MailOnline that he created the fake listing during a TED Talk in Kirkland to demonstrate a flaw in Google Maps that could be exploited to cause more serious problems. He said: 'The point was to demonstrate how a year ago, I'd shown the same type of flaw on Google and they have not fixed it. I wanted wanted to show it's still broken, in a funny way. 'And anyone could do this without any special equipment or code.' It follows claims that at least three terror groups plotting attacks against Britain have changed their communication methods since the leaks by Snowden. The Al Qaeda-linked networks have altered their tactics since the fugitive stole intelligence files from GCHQ and the US National Security Agency, according to a report. Extremist websites have also moved to protect their digital communications by releasing encryption programmes for followers, making it harder for extremists to be tracked down. Evidence of the harm done to intelligence agencies across the world after the former CIA contractor leaked 1.7million classified documents in 2013 is compiled in the first comprehensive public analysis of the leaks by the Henry Jackson Society security think-tank. The Snowden files revealed details about covert attempts by agencies to view citizens' private information by gathering internet histories, emails, text and call records and passwords.

+{"article": "Sipping a glass of glorious red wine which has been carefully aged in a hand-crafted oak barrel is my idea of heaven. But until now the only way to enjoy a tipple with that gorgeous authentic taste that can only develop through spending years in a special wooden cask has been to pay through the nose. The second I see the word \u2018spicy\u2019 on a bottle label (which suggests an oaky flavouring), I instantly know the price will be much higher. A \u00a35 bottle has suddenly become \u00a312 because the wine has lingered in an oak barrel before bottling. So when I read this week about a new gadget that claims to be able to \u2018oak age\u2019 wine in hours rather than years, my curiosity was seriously roused. The Oak Bottle promises to impart an authentic aged flavour \u2014 a process that can take up to two years \u2014 in just a day or two. Who wouldn\u2019t drink to that? Scroll down for video . TV wine expert Oz Clarke puts to the test this oak bottle that claims to 'oak age' wine in hours rather than years . The product, which retails at \u00a350, is the brainchild of 30-year-old entrepreneur Joel Paglione. Growing up on his parents\u2019 vineyard in Canada, Joel became fascinated by the process of ageing wine. Watching his dad painstakingly filling small barrels of wine for oaking, he wondered why the wine couldn\u2019t be stored in the same huge vats that had been used to ferment it. When Mr Paglione Snr explained that the smaller the oak barrel, the faster the oak infusion, Joel got his Eureka moment. How about a bottle made out of oak which will \u2018oak age\u2019 a single bottle in a fraction of the time? Now, after three years of experimenting, Joel has developed what he claims is the \u2018smallest possible oak infusion vessel ever made.\u2019 The idea is you decant a bottle of wine into the oak bottle, leave for up to 48 hours (depending on the strength of the oak flavour you fancy) and \u2014 hey presto! \u2014 your supermarket bottle of plonk fresh from last year\u2019s grape harvest should suddenly taste like a posh wine from a world-class vineyard that has had years to mature and develop oaky flavours. Ageing a wine overnight is the holy grail of wine lovers. It\u2019s like finding the elixir of eternal youth \u2014 in reverse. But can a simple gizmo really mimic such a time-honoured process? Can I turn a cheap plonk into a lovingly aged wine? I\u2019m eager to try. When it arrives, the Oak Bottle looks like a wooden version of the thermos flask I take on picnics. It\u2019s plain and reassuringly sturdy. For my test I choose a Bulgarian Merlot (Simply Merlot, Tesco \u00a34.20). It\u2019s an unpretentious, fruity wine, great for glugging, but it\u2019s hardly stellar quality. However, as with the French wines such as Bordeaux and Burgundy, Argentinian Melbecs, Australian Shirazes and, of course, the Spanish Rioja, once you add oak to a Merlot you are entering a whole new world", "summary": "The Oak Bottle claims to 'oak age' wine in hours rather than years .

'Fake': They pretended to be a friend asking for money for their daughter, claiming that the girl was in hospital with a heart infection after surgery. They asked for $3,000 on the GoFundMe page . 'This happened 2 weeks after Sofia underwent heart surgery to repair a defect that she was born with. This fellow East Cobb family runs their own home-based business.' When shared by KESQ, the page, entitled 'Sofia's Medical and Family Expenses', had raised just $195 but was asking for $3,000. It is not clear how much money the page eventually raised. The couple has two children, the daughter and an older son, according to their Facebook pages. Friends told the channel that they had their suspicions about the fundraiser because their stories did not seem to add up - and the couple has been accused of running scams in the past. In 2006, they were accused by dozens of couples of accepting payments to take wedding photos in Cabazon, California but never delivering the images. Scam: Clawson's mother Patti Ann Baldassarre posed as a nurse to back up the couple's story . Speaking to KESQ, neighbors said they tried to alert police to the fake page months ago. 'There were tons of red flags and there were tons of people in the community who reached out just for the sake of her kids,' Sandra May said. 'And nothing was done.' When they voiced their suspicions, Mrs Clawson allegedly produced a note from a doctor providing the donors a number for a nurse if they had any concerns. But the number on the letter allegedly led to Baldassarre's phone, and the doctor named in the letter had retired years earlier, according to KESQ. After a teacher leaned of the page, she asked Cobb County School Police to check in on the three-year-old daughter and discovered that the child was in fact healthy. The trio was arrested on felony conspiracy charges.

A handful of animal keepers at Salt Lake City's Hogle Zoo found themselves with a tiny red-headed charge when Eve, a Bornean orangutan, died a few weeks after giving birth.

A new addition: Tuah, the five month-old Bornean orangutan looks on in the Great Ape Building at Utah's Hogle Zoo on Friday . Tuah was revealed to the public on Saturday, with visitors \u2014 some of whom wore 'I met Tuah' buttons \u2014 lining up around the ape building to catch their first glimpse. About 9,000 people visited the zoo Saturday, said Erica Hansen, the zoo's community relations coordinator. 'It was such a larger day (for attendance) than we usually have in April,' she said. Gordon is one of several primate handlers who provided round-the-clock care for the infant, improvising along the way. 'We lived like an orangutan,' Gordon said. 'It was exhausting.' Orphan: Tuah's parents Eve and Elijah, both passed away last fall just a few weeks after Tuah's birth . Orangutans spend most of their time in trees. A baby orangutan instinctively clings to his mother's fur while she builds nests and scavenges for food. So Tuah couldn't be swaddled and put in a crib like a human baby; he needed to hang onto someone, even while sleeping. A zoo employee used specialized sewing machines and old fleece jackets to make a vest with strips that simulate an orangutan's fur. The animal keepers took turns wearing the vest and crawling in hay, while Tuah held tight to their chests, developing his muscle strength. But Tuah can't cling to humans forever. That's where his sister, Acara, comes in. After Tuah's birth, zookeepers began training Acara on maternal duties. Acara will turn 10 next month and is an eager-to-please orangutan that enjoys learning, Gordon said. 'Gorillas are a whole other different story, but orangutans are very easy,' said Gordon with a laugh. She called the species 'insanely intelligent.' Taken care of: After four months of round-the-clock care from zookeepers and his older sister, an orphaned orangutan baby is ready to meet the public . The first step was to teach Acara to be gentle with the infant. 'She was young and spunky, so that was our biggest worry, that she wouldn't know what was too rough,' said Gordon. They plied Acara with rewards. The more complicated the task, the higher-value the treat: from the everyday fruit to her favorite grapes and pomegranates to the foods she only gets on special occasions, like jello, granola, graham crackers, applesauce and peanuts.

Sudheer Khamitkar, 42, shot his 38-year-old wife, Smita Haval Khamitkar, and their sons Arnav Khamitkar, 10 and Arush Khamitkar, 6, in separate rooms at their Tulsa home, police said. The bodies were found on Wednesday as officers conducted a welfare check requested by the mother's employer after she failed to show up for work or call in sick for two days. 'Right now we still don't know the motive behind the murder-suicide,' said Sergeant Shane Tuell. Gunned down: Smita Haval Khamitkar, pictured with one of her sons, was shot by her husband along with their two boys - aged six and 10 - before he turned the gun on himself.

Police in Ragusa, a Sicilian port town, arrested three Syrian men who were at the helm of the Turkish-flagged yacht attempting to reach the Italian coast. It is thought the smugglers had charged each person $8,500 (\u00a35,700) to make the crossing, with police saying the total earned by the organisers was somewhere in the region of \u00a3536,000.

The luxury yacht, which was flying a Turkish flag, was stopped as it approached Europe with a 'cargo' which is thought to have been worth $800,000 - or \u00a3536,000 - to the organisers . This is far more than the usual cost of between 1,000 and 1,500 euros - \u00a3720 to \u00a31,080 - to cross the Mediterranean to Europe. However, the boat was far more seaworthy than some of the other vessels used, which can be anything from wooden fishing vessels to old cargo ships. Yet even the yacht failed to make the journey in its entirety: the attempt was discovered when two merchant ships were called out to aid a boat in distress.

A busy working week can take its toll on our lives, leaving little time to plan our meals. From breakfast at the desk to the mid-afternoon slump, the temptation to take short cuts and grab the nearest pick me up is too much to resist. With so many products claiming to be 'healthy', it can be a real struggle to know what to pick from the shelves of your nearest high street shop. And lurking inside many seemingly 'healthy' foods, are hidden ingredients that may be wreaking havoc with your teeth. Now, Dr Sameer Patel, clinical director at the Elleven practice in London's Harley Street, has highlighted the dentistry dangers of the 'desk diet'.

Some breakfast cereals can contain as much as three teaspoons of sugar per serving \u2013 this is around two and a half chocolate biscuits. Inconsistent labelling means that even the 'healthier' brands can also be culprits and choices such as muesli can be surprisingly high in sugars. Solution . There is a way around this. Opt for low sugar options such as wheat biscuits or unsweetened porridge oats and if you need something to sweeten the taste go for honey or crunchy fruit. Eating your cereal with dairy products can also counteract the damage caused by sugar and have added benefits for your oral health. The calcium, phosphates and vitamin D in milk provides important minerals which can help improve the health of your teeth by strengthening and de-mineralising their structure. Probiotic yoghurt can also help decrease bad bacteria in the mouth which in turn limits tooth decay and helps to promote a healthy mouth environment. HOT DRINKS . Dental Danger . Coffee and tea are notorious for staining in between teeth and if drunk regularly, the staining, tannin compounds can build up and cause teeth to turn yellow. Regular consumption can also lead to bad breath, which is down to mouth dehydration. Caffeine is a diuretic and therefore dries out the mouth, counteracting the internal rinsing that normally occurs and causing bacteria to multiply. Solution . 'The best way to avoid this is to rinse the mouth with water after consumption, to wash away the tannins and rehydrate the mouth. A good alternative to your morning tea or coffee, is caffeine-free green tea. Tea and coffee are notorious for staining the teeth, and if drunk regularly, can cause a person's teeth to turn yellow . 'Water also contains the mineral fluoride which makes teeth more resilient to acid erosion and decay.

The images, captured by the Dawn probe from 28,000 miles (45,000km) away, show that a pair of mysterious spots on the dwarf planet have different thermal properties. The images were revealed as part of the first colour map of Ceres, showing variations in surface materials, and revealing the diverse processes that helped shape it. Scroll down for video . Ceres may appear to be a drab, grey world, but new infrared images suggest there is more to the dwarf planet than first thought. The latest images are the closest taken yet, and suggest that the icy body was likely once fully active. Images taken using blue (440 nanometers), green (550 nanometers) and infrared (920 nanometers) spectral filters were combined to create the map . 'This dwarf planet was not just an inert rock throughout its history. It was active, with processes that resulted in different materials in different regions,' said Chris Russell from the University of California, Los Angeles. The 'alien' spots on the surface, named feature 1 and feature 5, show up in visible light images as bright flashes in comparison to the rest of Ceres's surface. In infrared, region 1 is cooler than rest of surface, but 5 is located in a region that is similar in temperature to surroundings. Last month, scientists said this pair of mysterious bright spots could be towering 'water volcanoes', but they said they need to take a closer look to confirm this. Federico Tosi, who works on Dawn's Visible and Infrared Spectrometer, presented infrared images of the two spots, measuring their thermal properties. 'What we have found is that bright spot number one corresponds to a dark spot in the thermal image,' he said at a press conference today . Captured by the Dawn probe from 28,000 miles (45,000km) away, the images reveal that two mysterious bright flashes on the surface have different thermal properties. The upper trio is Region 1 at visible, infrared and thermal infrared wavelengths. At thermal infrared, the spot is dark - meaning it is colder than its surroundings. The lower trio represent Region 5. In thermal infrared, the spot disappears . Dawn observed Ceres completing one full rotation, which lasted about nine hours. The images show the full range of different crater shapes that can be found at Ceres' surface: from shallow, flattish craters to those with peaks at their centers . Ceres is the closest dwarf planet to the sun and is located in the asteroid belt, making it the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system. Ceres is the smallest of the bodies currently classified as a 'dwarf planet'. Scientists think Ceres may have an ocean and possibly an atmosphere.

At a news conference Thursday afternoon, school spokesman Michael Schoenfeld said the school would not release the name of the student who admitted to hanging the noose, found early Wednesday in a plaza area at the heart of the campus. The student was identified with information provided by other students and will be subject to Duke's student conduct process and that an investigation is continuing to find out if others were involved, Schoenfeld said. Identified: Officials at Duke University say they have caught the student culprit responsible for hanging a noose from a tree on campus this week . Taking a stand: The noose sparked a mass protest on campus on Wednesday. The noose is a particularly sensitive image in the state, where black residents were once terrorized by lynchings . Schoenfeld said the school believes federal education laws protecting information about students and their grades prevent the school from describing his or her gender, race or whether the student had been in trouble in the past. The school also is working with state and federal officials about potential criminal violations. Officials say the noose was found about 2am Wednesday in the plaza outside the Bryan Center, the student commons building. Black Student Alliance vice president Henry Washington said he and about 14 other students saw the noose hanging overnight after being alerted via Twitter. On Thursday, he praised the reaction of fellow students and administrators at the school. 'I appreciate that immediate action was taken both by the student community to identify a person and by the faculty to ensure that disciplinary action is taken,' he said. Unknown: The university is not identifying the student in question, citing federal education laws protecting student privacy. Above, a view of the Durham, North Carolina campus . Duke Student Affairs Vice President Larry Moneta said the student would face judgment under the school's code of conduct, which includes penalties ranging from probation to expulsion. He said it was 'too soon to make any comment' about whether the student had expressed remorse for the noose episode. 'This is all part of what the investigation will yield and the opportunity for the student to speak to the basis for the behavior,' Moneta said. At a gathering Wednesday in front of the university's Gothic chapel building, Duke President Richard Brodhead told a crowd of several thousand that their presence was a rejection of what the noose symbolizes in a region where lynchings were once used to terrorize black residents. And he said that while administrators and campus police investigate who displayed the noose and why, it is up to each individual to reject racism. 'One person put up that noose, but this is the multitude of people who got together to say that's not the Duke we want,' he told the crowd.

The bold design of the new \u00a3400million stadium, due to be completed for the start of the 2018-19 season, could involve a \u2018slide-out\u2019 grass football pitch with an NFL-style synthetic surface housed underneath. The option of extra-large changing rooms, to accommodate NFL squad sizes that can amount to as many as 70 players at a game, is also being explored by architects. Tottenham are considering sharing their new \u00a3400m stadium with an NFL franchise . A spokesman for the north London club did not rule out the possibility this week, confirming that they are \u2018looking at options\u2019 in order to \u2018future-proof the design\u2019. The NFL is said to be within five years of having a permanent franchise in London. Indeed officials will be testing logistics when they stage their three games at Wembley this autumn, with teams looking at how quickly they can have their players back in the USA and ready to play again. The clash between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars on October 25 will kick-off at 1.30pm while the New York Jets vs Miami Dolphins game on October 4 and Detroit Lions vs Kansas City Chiefs contest on November 1 will both begin at 2.30pm.

Tottenham's new state-of-the-art stadium is due to be ready in time for the 2018-19 season . Spurs' new 65,000 capacity stadium could be better suited to the NFL than the 90,000-seat Wembley . If Tottenham press ahead with the proposed stadium design and secure the NFL franchise it would represent a significant blow to the FA, who also see the NFL as a potentially lucrative partner for Wembley, their \u00a3757m stadium. But the NFL are keeping their options open at this stage in the knowledge that a new London stadium designed with American football requirements in mind would be hugely advantageous. Even the proposed capacity of 65,000 for the new White Hart Lane is a more realistic target than 90,000 seats which Wembley boasts. Wembley does have the iconic status that the NFL finds attractive but there are other issues with the national stadium. Not least the fact that they have to leave the lowest 5,000 seats empty so that the view of spectators is not restricted by the mass of huge bodies on the touchline. The modern NFL stadiums make sight-lines for spectators a priority and the new White Hart Lane could overcome the problem that is experienced at Wembley by having the artificial pitch at a significantly lower level beneath the moveable grass pitch.

Sue Sharp was shocked to find a stamp on the \u00a311 joint saying it had come from New Zealand despite Asda's packaging claiming it was born, reared and slaughtered in the UK. Mrs Sharp, who runs a 1,600-acre sheep farm with her husband Robert, had purposely sought out British produce in support of her fellow farmers. Misleading: The leg of lamb Sue Sharp bought from Asda in Midlothian, Scotland, claims on the packaging that it is from the UK. But a stamp on the meat (pictured) is from the New Zealand health inspector . But she was horrified when she got home and found the 'home-grown' leg of lamb had actually been flown halfway round the world to the store in Midlothian, Scotland. Asda said the mislabelled lamb was a one-off and that the gaffe was the result of human error. But Mrs Sharp has questioned the claim and is now warning other shoppers to be extra vigilant when choosing their joints of meat. The label on the Asda Butcher's Selection leg states it is 'Born in the UK. Reared in the UK. Slaughtered in the UK. Cut in the UK' but a stamp branded onto the animal's skin carries the stamp of the New Zealand health inspector. The error has been called 'unacceptable' by farming unions who are now demanding to meet with bosses at the supermarket chain to discuss their future plans for selling British lamb. Asda says it has carried out an investigation into the mistake which revealed Mrs Sharp's leg of lamb was the only one mislabelled at the Galashiels store she shopped at. Sue Sharp, 57, has refused to accept Asda's explanation that the mistake was a one-off . Mrs Sharp, 57, whose farm has 1,300 sheep, said: 'As a sheep farmer I'm very interested in making sure I buy British meat. 'The lamb I bought from Asda was clearly labelled UK born, UK raised, UK slaughtered. 'It wasn't until I got home and looked at it more closely that I realised the stamp actually on the meat itself said New Zealand. 'It was a bit of a shock and something I feel rather strongly about as a sheep farmer - the last thing I want to do is buy New Zealand lamb. 'I was completely baffled so I wrote to Asda and they came back apologising but saying it was an isolated incident. 'I just don't believe that. I'm sure it was a mistake but I bet there were more, I can't see how just one could have been wrongly labelled.' She added: 'They've held their hands up but is that enough?

The animal\u2019s heart, liver and gastrointestinal tract are easily visible (pictured) thanks to translucent skin on its under side. It's distinguishable from other glass frogs which have this strange characteristic, by its long toes and black and white eyes . The bodies of glass frogs are bright green on their backs, while their abdominal skin is translucent. This means that the animal's heart, liver and gastrointestinal tract are visible. The first glass frog was discovered in 1872. They are thought to have originated in South America before spreading into Central America. Glass frogs are generally small, ranging from an inch to three inches in length (2.5cm to 7.5cm). They may look similar to tree frogs, but their eyes face forward, instead of sideways. The frogs are mostly arboreal, meaning that they live in trees and can be found along rivers and streams during the breeding season.

Beto had looked to have cost his side their progress, with the game heading towards extra time, before substitute Gameiro arrived to slot home with five minutes remaining. It had been a risk to start the Portuguese keeper, but Sevilla boss Unai Emery decided it one he was prepared to take, despite Beto's absence since a game against Real Madrid in the first week of February. Carlos Bacca slams home the early penalty after Vitolo had been brought down by Neto after five minute . Hulk celebrates his goal with Axel Witsel but Zenit couldn't hold on for extra time in the end . It was a gamble that spectacularly back-fired, with the keeper gifting Zenit two of the softest goals imaginable, to see the holders surrender a two-goal lead in the tie. First, just a matter of seconds after the half-time break, with Sevilla two goals up on aggregate a cruising, Beto dropped the ball, under no pressure, at the feet of Salomon Rondon, allowing the Venezuelan to rekindle the tie from a matter of yards. Then, when Brazilian forward Hulk hit a speculative, but not overly threatening shot from 40 yards, Beto could only flap it over his own line, turning the tie on its head and sending it towards extra time. But as Zenit looked to apply the pressure, and Beto attempted to atone himself with two stunning saves, one from each of the two goalscorers, the champions struck on the break.

The Spanish side carried a slim lead, given them by a stunning Denis Suarez volley at the end of the first leg, into the second game, but Zenit were optimistic after scoring an away goal in Seville, which gave them a perceived edge. That advantage lasted little more than five minutes however, as defender Neto stupidly dived in on Sevilla winger Vitolo, to concede an early penalty. It was a bizarre challenge to make, with Vitolo running towards the byline, and the ball not even close to within winning distance.

Killed: Little Caesar was shot dead at the weekend after wandering off from his family's home in Ispheming in northern Michigan. He was killed by a DNR officer, who believed he was feral . Beloved: Brandy Savelle (pictured) and Tony Gervasi have had Caesar as a pet for about two years, and had been trying to teach him to stay outdoors when he wandered off . BFFs: Caesar and the family's pet dog got along famously, the couple said . Savelle continued: 'I just started screaming for him.' The incident became quite a big deal in the area, with announcements on Facebook quickly spreading and a page set up on Go Fund Me. A day later, a Natural Resources officer showed up at the couple's door. 'We figured he had information so with excitement, Brandy answered the door asking if he knew anything about the pig,' Mr Gervasi said. 'The man responded ''Actually, I am responsible for the missing pig\u2026'' The officer explained that Caesar 'came out of the woods at me running at a trotting pace'. He said he 'felt threatened' so shot him. The officer maintained he believed the animal was feral. Scene: Mr Gervasi took this photo of the blood they found after following Caesar's tracks and put the photo on Facebook when the pig was still missing, which quickly spread . Shot dead: The officer explained that Caesar 'came out of the woods at me running at a trotting pace' and that he shot the pig, believing he was a feral animal . Harmless: The state is defending a Department of Natural Resources conservation officer who shot Caesar on the belief the pig was wild . The shooting also happened on state land. In such circumstances officers are permitted to shoot animals that can carry disease and/or damage property. Peter Wright, a law supervisor for the DNR, told WLUC-TV that the officer was just doing his job. He said the officer believed it was a feral pig, since it had no identifying marks to distinguish him as a pet. 'I want to make it very clear that it's never ever, ever the department's position that we want to shoot people's pets,' said Wright. 'If he had any inkling it was a pet, he absolutely wouldn't have shot it.' Upsetting: The family are now trying to get Caesar's body in order to bury him, but have been told they can only take possession of his ashes .", "summary": "Caesar went missing at the weekend from his owner's home in Ispheming .

+{"article": "The Duchess of Cambridge is a modern-day suffragette who has done more to advance the cause of women than anyone else in recent years. Or so says actress Patsy Kensit, who made the comments in an interview with this week's Stylist magazine. Miss Kensit, 47, appeared in the magazine's regular 'Queen of Everything' feature and said the Duchess of Cambridge would be her 'regal inspiration'. Feminist icon: Patsy Kensit says the Duchess of Cambridge is 'our generation's suffragette' Charity work: The Duchess is famous for philanthropy but not, until now, feminism . She added: 'She's so fabulous on every level. She repeats outfits, which is brilliant. I know it's a shallow thing to say but I think it's done so much for women. 'I'm not going to be forced to have to look different every time I go out. She's like our generation's suffragette.' This is the first time that the Duchess, who spends much of her time doing charity work, has been lauded as a feminist icon. Although she has won plaudits for her dedication to children's charities such as The Art Room and Place2Be, her demure dress sense and closeness to her family has resulted in some criticism. Most recently, novelist Margaret Atwood revealed that she thinks Kate is an 'uneventful dresser' who is no match for Princess Diana. Suffragette: Emily Wilding Davison is pictured throwing herself in front of the King's horse in 1913 . Votes for women: Campaigners lobbying for votes for women became known as suffragettes . Critics: The Duchess was dubbed a 'machine made princess' by Hilary Mantel and 'drab' by Margaret Atwood . \u2018I think she\u2019s watching her back,' continued the 75-year-old author. 'I think she probably has people who pretty much tell her what is appropriate for her to wear. 'I don\u2019t think she\u2019s become the fashion plate that Diana was, and I think she\u2019s probably doing that advisably, wouldn\u2019t you say?\u2019 Miss Atwood isn't the only writer to criticise the Duchess, who is due to give birth to her second child later this month, in public. Double Booker Prize winner and Wolf Hall author Hilary Mantel has described Kate as being like a \u2018shop window mannequin\u2019 and a \u2018machine-made\u2019 princess who has been \u2018designed by committee\u2019. Meanwhile Sandi Toksvig caused outrage when she said the Duchess doesn\u2019t have a \u2018single opinion\u2019 of her own, while Joan Smith produced a similar storm by labelling Kate \u2018unambitious and bland\u2019.", "summary": "Miss Kensit said the Duchess of Cambridge is 'our generation's suffragette' The 47-year-old also said the Duchess was her 'regal inspiration' Made the comments during an interview with a weekly fashion magazine .

Peachtree City Police Chief William McCollom called 911 early New Year's Day to report inadvertently shooting his ex-wife, Margaret, as they slept in their suburban Atlanta home. The shooting left Margaret McCollom paralyzed below the waist. McCollom resigned from the chief's job in March. Peachtree City Chief of Police William McCollom, pictured left, dialed 911 to report accidentally shooting his wife Margaret, right, as she slept in their suburban Atlanta home early New Year's Day . Griffin Judicial Circuit District Attorney Scott Ballard said investigators found no evidence McCollom intended to harm Margaret McCollom. However, Ballard said he concluded the shooting could have been prevented. The prosecutor said McCollom told investigators he drank alcohol and took medication to help him sleep. Ballard said the investigation showed that McCollom, a former firearms instructor, woke during the night when he heard barking dogs, prompting him to grab his service handgun from a dresser and search the house. He returned to bed with the gun and told investigators he woke next to the sound of a gunshot, Ballard said. The chief said he suspected he might have been trying in his sleep to move the gun to a nightstand. 'The gun was in the bed, I went to move it, and I put it to a side and it went off,' McCollom told a 911 dispatcher, according to a recording of the call. McCollom worked in policing for nearly 30 years in Wyoming, Florida and Georgia. He resigned from the police chief position in Georgia in March . Investigators found no evidence that McCollom was trying to hurt Margaret. He was indicted on Wednesday on a misdemeanor reckless-conduct charge . Margaret McCollom told police at the hospital that she was asleep when the shooting happened but believed it was an accident, according to state investigators. The couple divorced in 1999 but later reunited. 'When I look at the facts, it appears to me that this is reckless conduct,' Ballard said. If convicted, McCollom could face a year in jail. McCollom's defense attorney, Thomas Cook Jr., did not respond to a message seeking comment. McCollom worked in policing for nearly 30 years in Wyoming, Florida and Georgia.

The news comes as David Cameron today reiterates his pledge to offer the cut-price properties to 200,000 young first-time buyers. The project, launched last month, is part of a dramatic extension of the Help to Buy scheme \u2013 and doubles the number of new starter homes in England from 100,000 to 200,000. Help to buy: The extension to the scheme has been well-received with 50,000 people registering interest in the scheme since it launched last month . The properties would be at prices 20 per cent cheaper than their market value and reserved purely for first-time buyers under the age of 40. Mr Cameron will say today: \u2018Home ownership goes to the heart of our political beliefs. It\u2019s simple: we believe having a home of their own gives people and families independence; it helps people stand on their own two feet; and it\u2019s one of the ultimate symbols of a country where if you work hard, you can get on.\u2019 Figures published yesterday reveal 52,000 people have already registered an interest since the scheme was launched last month. The 20 per cent discount is possible because the new properties will be exempted from taxes and reduced construction costs thanks to the release of cheaper, brownfield commercial land to build on.

As well as helping struggling young people wanting to buy a home, Tory strategists believe it will appeal to parents and grandparents worried about their families\u2019 prospects of ever getting onto the property ladder. Each starter home will cost no more than \u00a3250,000 outside London and \u00a3450,000 in the capital. First-time buyers will also be able to combine the 20 per cent discount with a Help to Buy mortgage \u2013 which offers homeseekers a 20 per cent Government-backed equity loan. The Help to Buy equity loan scheme was introduced in 2013 to offer buyers a 20 per cent Government loan to buy new properties, worth up to 95 per cent loan to value. It was due to expire in 2016 but has been extended until 2020. Under Labour, housebuilding fell to levels not seen since the 1920s. The number of first time buyers also collapsed, falling 60 per cent from 501,500 in 1997 to just 185,000 in 2009.

Central to the party that night back in March 2004 was Flanders' boyfriend, Labour rising star Ed Miliband. At the time, he was chief economics adviser to the Chancellor, Gordon Brown. Miliband had been back in Britain for two months after a brief spell as a lecturer at Harvard University in the U.S. Ever the policy nerd, the son of a Marxist professor waxed lyrical about economic theory. As he held court, a young woman called Justine Thornton, who was sitting across the table and whom he had never met before, became transfixed.

Clearly she was guided by Labour spin doctors, who wanted to give the impression to voters that her husband was a touchy-feely human being, rather than the soulless nerd that his awkward image conveys on TV.

The former Manchester United defender has been critical of Pellegrini's side in recent weeks as the reigning Premier League champions have seen their chances of retaining the crown slip following a dismal run of form and results. But, despite the Chilean being the favourite with many bookmakers to be the next managerial casualty and Jurgen Klopp available in the summer after announcing he is to leave Borussia Dortmund, it is understood City chiefs are not entertaining the idea of replacing Pellegrini at present. Manuel Pellegrini should be 'able to correct the things that have gone wrong', according to Gary Neville . And Neville, talking at a Budweiser Dream Goal event in Regent's Park, believes keeping faith in Pellegrini would bring some much-needed stability to the Etihad Stadium. 'I hope they don't change manager,' Neville said. 'I hope that Manuel Pellegrini stays at Man City and I hope he is able to correct the things that have gone wrong in the last four months. 'He used the term \"garbage\" in recent weeks when discussing City's form and four wins in 15 games for a club like Man City is not right and I hope he stays to correct the performances and can complete the job.'

A 4-2 derby defeat to United last weekend leaves City fourth in the table, with qualification for next season's Champions League not yet assured. Just six wins since the turn of the year has seen the club drop out of the FA Cup to Middlesbrough and come up short against Barcelona in Europe for the second season in succession. Neville feels some work on the side in the summer is required but reckons the type of wholesale changes being suggested may not be the way to go. 'I don't rule anything out - in football you don't make wild predictions,' he said when asked if the current City team will struggle to get back to their best. But Sky Sports pundit Neville has backed Pellegrini and says only minor changes need to happen this summer . 'These players aren't finished, this team aren't finished. There needs to be some renovation to their house - the people there know that, they don't need me to tell them. 'I have spoken a lot about City over the past months. I have praised them over the last three or four years and rightly so. Some of the football I have seen them play in that time has been the best and their players have been outstanding. 'They have come to a time now where they have dropped below the standard they have set. They have set a standard I have watched, commentated on and been asked to speak about.

+{"article": "The CEO of Salesforce.com has announced the company is now attempting to transfer any Indiana employee who is 'uncomfortable' with the polarizing new Religious Freedom Restoration Act out of the state. The law, brought in by Indiana Governor Mike Pence, was supposed to satisfy evangelicals but has sparked boycotts of the state, amid fears that it would allow legalized discrimination against lesbians and gays. Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, was one of the first corporate executives to react to the polarizing bill, calling it 'brutal' and 'unjust' and saying he was finding ways to reduce investments in Indiana. He initially canceled all events and suspended employee travel to the state. Speaking out: Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce who was one of the first corporate executives to react to Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, is now trying to relocate state employees who are uncomfortable . However on Wednesday he told CNN Money he was now responding to employee complaints that they no longer want to work and live in the state, and is trying to find ways to help them. It is the most aggressive corporate reaction to the controversial legislation yet. 'I just got an email ... from another employee who said, ''look I don't feel comfortable living in this state anymore, you have to move me out,'' and I gave him a $50,000 relocation package and said, ''great, you're clear to go''.' Benioff was sure to point out that he will not be able to shut down the Salesforce sector in Indiana completely. The San Francisco-based tech company, which offers \u2018customer relationship management\u2019 to other companies, has a total 2,000 employees in the state. A number of companies \u2014 including Salesforce, EMC and Cloudera \u2014 have already withdrawn their sponsorships for Indy Big Data, a tech conference scheduled in May. Change: Benioff tweeted Friday in response to Indiana lawmakers saying Friday morning they had amended the already-in-effect law, clarifying that no one will 'be able to discriminate against anyone at any time' Benioff's announcement follows one made by Apple CEO Tim Cook. On Monday Cook condemned the laws, saying they were 'very dangerous', went against the founding principles of America, and would take the country back to the days of 'Whites Only' signs in shop doorways. He added that, as a Baptist, he supports religious freedom, but said: 'I was never taught, nor do I believe, that religion should be used as an excuse to discriminate.' Cook, 54, who came out as gay in October last year, made the comments in an op-ed for the Washington Post. He wrote: 'In total, there are nearly 100 bills designed to enshrine discrimination in state law. 'On behalf of Apple, I'm standing up to oppose this new wave of legislation. 'These bills under consideration truly will hurt jobs, growth and the economic vibrancy of parts of the country where a 21st-century economy was once welcomed with open arms.' He also addressed legislation in Texas that 'would strip the salaries and pensions of clerks who issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.'

Kramer claims that the motive for murder was not Booth's anger over the Civil War but was his unrequited love for the former president. Another indicator that Lincoln was gay is that he would share beds with other men, especially when his wife Mary left town.

Activists in the Missouri suburb, protesting over the fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown by a white cop, were also known as 'adversaries', according to internal briefings seen by CNN this week. The National Guard was first activated in Ferguson in August after Missouri Governor Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency when riots and looting broke out amid peaceful demonstrations over police brutality. National Guard soldiers secure the police command center in Ferguson, Missouri, on November 27 last year. An internal report has revealed that the heavily-militarized guard referred to protesters as 'enemy forces' The guard were activated again in November ahead of the November 24 decision by a St Louis grand jury who decided not to indict the officer, Darren Wilson, who shot Brown. Many in the community accused the National Guard of making an already tense situation worse. Guardsmen were seen rolling through the streets of the suburb in tanks wearing combat gear and carrying assault rifles. Missouri National Guard described some on the streets as 'enemy forces' including the KKK, the RgB Black Rebels and the New Black Panther Party - but also the 'general protesters'. According to CNN, National Guard supervisors were worried about how they were being viewed by the public and asked guardsmen to tone down the heavily militarized language. Officers were told by superiors to change references to 'enemy' to 'criminal elements' instead. Daily Mail Online was awaiting a response from the Missouri National Guard on Friday. Brown's shooting stirred long-simmering racial tensions in the St. Louis suburb, where two-thirds of the residents are black but the police force is almost entirely white. Rioting and looting a day after the shooting led police to respond to subsequent protests with a heavily-armored presence that was widely criticized for continuing to escalate tensions. At times, protesters lobbed rocks and Molotov cocktails at police, who fired tear gas, smoke canisters and rubber bullets in an attempt to disperse crowds. At the time of the Guard's deployment in November, St Louis Mayor Francis Slay said he supported Nixon's decision to activate the Guard. 'The way we view this, the Guard is not going to be confronting the protesters and will not be on (the) front line interacting directly with demonstrators,' Slay said.

Swindon\u2019s win over Peterborough meant Steve Cotterill will have to wait until Tuesday to finish the job of returning to the Championship, but almost as importantly they made sure Preston wouldn\u2019t make any ground on them in the top two. Three points at Bradford on Tuesday will do the trick - only that standing in their way now. It would take something to go seriously awry for the Robins not to be returning to the second tier after a two-year absence, and they did their job well enough to prevent any late scares in the north west. Bristol City striker Aaron Wilbraham celebrates his 63rd minute goal against Preston at Deepdale .

City had dispensed of their rivals on Tuesday night, hammering them 3-0, and took great delight in revelling in their triumph. It was an afternoon whereby neither side played with any nerves - there are reasons why these two occupy the automatic promotion places - although lacking a fluidity you would perhaps expect. There was an illusion of this being an open game, but the two five-man midfields shattered that. Jermaine Beckford came closest for the hosts, his smart overhead kick just flying wide, while the out of sorts Daniel Johnson blasted way over. Joe Garner felt he should\u2019ve been awarded a penalty after being clattered by Frank Fielding. Steve Cotterill, knowing results elsewhere dictated they could still clinch elevation by five o\u2019clock, clearly put a rocket up his free scorers at the break. Before then they had threatened from free-kicks, managed to get into decent positions, but didn\u2019t threaten nearly enough. Wilbraham got on the end of James Tavernier\u2019s wicked cross from the right, but his shot was superbly tipped onto the bar by Sam Johnstone. Kieran Agard failed to stretch far enough to convert from two yards shortly afterwards. Preston were on the ropes, their biggest crowd in two years growing restless immediately after half-time. That was until Jermaine Beckford popped up, five yards out, to send Deepdale delirious just before the hour mark. Paul Gallagher picked up on lapse defending to take control of the situation inside the away box, firing across goal for Beckford to sweep beyond Fielding. At that stage, it took Simon Grayson\u2019s side seven points ahead of MK Dons - drawing at Port Vale - in third.

The white-cheeked macaque was discovered in the remote highland forests of south-east Tibet after researchers set up camera traps. The monkey has a distinctive rounded penis rather than the arrow shaped genitalia found on other species in the area. Scroll down for video . The white-cheeked macaque, from Tibet, China, has a distinctive rounded penis compared to other macaques . Officially named Macaca leucogenys, it earned its common name due to the pale whiskers on its chin and the side of its face. Videos have also revealed that the animal has a distinctive alarm calls compared to other macaques in Tibet. Human males may be preoccupied by the size of their penis, but it is one of the largest in the primate kingdom. An evolutionary biologist has compared the sizes of genitals of humans to gorillas and apes to look at why there is such a discrepancy between the species. He concluded the human penis may have grown so long to make it more conspicuous to potential partners, or even as a way of cooling the body down. The relative size of the male reproductive organs across these species was discussed by evolutionary biologist Darren Curnoe in his latest 'How Did We Get Here?' video series for the University of New South Wales, Australia. Gorillas have small penises and small testicles, while chimps have medium-sized penises and large testicles. By comparison, human males have the longest penis and medium-sized testicles. 'Amazingly the size of the reproductive organs, especially the testicles, are a reflection of how the apes are organised socially,' explained Professor Curnoe. 'Why the difference? Well for the testicles it's pretty straight forward. 'It all comes down to the amount of competition the chimps, and their sperm, have when they mate with females.' But he said there wasn't a discernible reason why there is so much variation in penis size between humans and great apes. Dr Pengfei Fan, one of the researchers who discovered the new species and a biologist at Dali University, Yunnan, in China, said the new macaque had long been misidentified as another species. He said that due to the remoteness of the location in Medog County of Tibet, few biologists had been there. He said: 'Medog County is surrounded by snow mountains and so far away from the centre of science. 'Furthermore, it locates in southeastern Tibet and close to McMahon line which is a political sensitive area. Very few have people studied primates there. 'This species has long been identified as Assamese macaque (Macaca assamensis) because no clear photos or good specimens are available.' In an attempt to better study the animals living in the region, Cheng Li, a photographer with the Imaging Biodiversity Expedition in Beijing, set up camera traps in the area's remote tropical and evergreen mountain forests. They captured 685 photos of macaques and Mr Li was also able to follow a group of macaques allowing him to obtain close up images.

Ann Rule's son, 54-year-old Andrew Rule, is accused of bullying her into giving him $23,327, according to court documents, and admitted to authorities that he blew the money given to him on gambling and strip clubs. Michael Rule, 51, who receives approximately $9,000 a month between salaries paid to him and his wife by Rule Enterprises, LLC, is accused of forging his mother's signature on her checks from March 2014 to February 2015 amounting to $103,628. Prosecutors have filed a restraining order against both men to stay away from Ann Rule, and the two sons accused of wrongdoing are set to appear in court on April 30. Famous true crime writer Ann Rule (above), 84, had more than $100,000 allegedly stolen and defrauded from her by her two sons . Ann Rule, 84, is known for many of her crime books, notably the 1980 bestseller The Stranger Beside Me based on serial killer Ted Bundy. She has published 33 books and eight of those have been turned into movies including Ann Rule Presents: The Stranger Beside Me and Small Sacrifices. The Washington-based author has been in declining health since 2013 after she broke her hip, she also suffers from periods of extreme confusion and is vulnerable to undue influence, according to the Huffington Post. Court documents also said she is 'largely confined to a wheelchair', is unable to 'perform many activities of daily living without assistance' and 'she is on oxygen at all times'. Her son-in-law, Glen Scorr, alerted authorities in March after he became suspicious that she was being 'financially exploited' by her two sons. An investigation revealed that Michael and Andrew Rule along with their two siblings, Leslie and Laura, receive an estimated $25,000 monthly salary combined through their mother's corporation Rule Enterprises LLC for work they perform on her behalf, according to court documents. The four children also have their health and dental insurance covered through the corporation. Andrew Rule, who also has his rent and car insurance covered by his mother, would allegedly bully her until she would give in and write him a check, according to court documents. 'Andy would pester and bully Ann relentlessly for money, sometimes threatening suicide, sometimes trying to make her feel guilty, sometimes screaming obscenities at her, until she would finally give in and write him a check,' the documents stated. Authorities said he would have an excuse for needing money which included when he got injured and needed money for medical expenses, repairing his car, groceries, buying a racehorse and needing clothes after getting a new job.

The NASUWT union said indiscipline is a \u2018significant problem\u2019, with teachers sworn at, kicked and punched. Last year, staff at eight schools refused to teach pupils who threw chairs, brought fireworks in and threatened to slit other children\u2019s throats. Teachers are suffering broken arms and severed fingers at the hands of violent pupils. A deputy headteacher fell and fractured her arm while trying to restrain a six-year-old boy with autism . Paul Nesbitt, NASUWT executive member for the West Midlands, said the union \u2018doesn\u2019t hesitate\u2019 to launch so-called \u2018refusal to teach\u2019 ballots. Mr Nesbitt, who is a member of the union\u2019s health and safety committee, told the NASUWT\u2019s annual conference in Cardiff: \u2018This year alone I have been personally involved in some refusal to teach, where at one school a six-year-old boy broke the arm of a deputy head teacher. \u2018It was difficult to go in and speak to four members of staff who actually cried and broke down and were in fear of their personal safety within the classroom. \u2018Most people say: \u2018A six-year-old?\u2019 But that six-year-old was able to break someone\u2019s arm. That\u2019s a concern.\u2019 The woman had fallen while trying to restrain the boy, who had autism and behavioural problems, at the primary school in Walsall, West Midlands. Mr Nesbitt cited another teacher whose finger was severed by a student at a pupil referral unit in Solihull, West Midlands, a few weeks ago. He said: \u2018We\u2019ve been contacted recently where a member had to be rushed off to the local QE (Queen Elizabeth Hospital) in Birmingham to have an emergency operation to reattach the top part of her finger because one of the students had kicked the door and caught her hand and took the top off the finger.\u2019 The revelations were made at teachers' union NASUWT\u2019s annual conference in Cardiff today (general secretary, Chris Keates, pictured) Mr Nesbitt pointed out that under the Health and Safety At Work Act 1974, employers must make sure as far as \u2018reasonably practical\u2019 that employees are protected. He said: \u2018At times, at some of the schools I visit, that is questionable. \u2018As a union, we accept that most schools and colleges, remain relatively safe and secure, but we are seeing the increase of numbers of incidents within school: a minority of pupils who continue to challenge authority and behave disruptively, using threatening behaviour, abusive language and sometimes physical violence towards our members.\u2019 He warned that some schools are \u2018continually reluctant\u2019 to impose sanctions such as exclusions because they do not want to inform their local authority or gain a \u2018bad reputation\u2019. Mr Nesbitt added: \u2018In a scenario recently when I looked at a school\u2019s behavioural system there were 1,200 behavioural issues that had been reported internally but only 12 had been reported to the authority. \u2018According to the authority, that school was deemed as a good, well behaved school but we know that\u2019s not the case.\u2019 Dan McCarthy, NASUWT\u2019s national executive member for the", "summary": "NASUWT union said indiscipline is a 'significant problem' at many schools .

One of Britain\u2019s top headmasters has been arrested after he allegedly began a relationship with a former pupil now said to be pregnant with his child. Cambridge-educated Sean Heslop, 47, was questioned on suspicion of abusing his position of trust after claims about the affair came to light last month.

But a family member claimed he was \u2018the happiest he\u2019s ever been\u2019 as he was looking forward to becoming a father this summer. The former pupil, who cannot be named for legal reasons, became pregnant at the end of last year after leaving school and starting at a London university. The woman, who is now 18, described herself as a \u2018mummy-to-be\u2019 on one social media page and posted online a picture of the three-month scan of her unborn child. She wrote that she was \u2018in a loving relationship\u2019 and had a lot of support, but said some people were quick to judge her because she was a pregnant teenager. The ex-pupil recounted in a blog how her former headmaster came to visit her at university after she began her degree last September.

+{"article": "The pursuit of journalists for paying public officials was in ruins last night after prosecutors dropped a raft of cases. Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders was forced into a humiliating climbdown after a jury threw out yet another Old Bailey case. She abandoned the trials of nine reporters accused of illegally paying public officials for information, finally admitting there was little appetite among the public for journalists who expose matters of public interest to be jailed. Former Mirror reporter Graham Brough talks to media as he leaves the Old Bailey court in London after he and three other tabloid journalists were cleared of paying public officials for stories . Her decision sparked an ugly blame game as the architects of the \u00a320million \u2018politically-motivated witch hunt\u2019 turned against each other. Prosecutors and police pointed the finger at the Leveson inquiry and MPs for whipping up a storm of hysteria over the work of the Press. And Scotland Yard highlighted how their inquiries were possible only thanks to millions of confidential emails released by News International. The man in charge at the start of the tainted Met Police probe into tabloid journalists \u2013 Operation Elveden \u2013 was former DPP and now Labour parliamentary candidate Keir Starmer. Last night campaigners questioned why the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) was still putting three journalists in the dock for the same supposed offences. One senior figure said \u2018enough is enough\u2019, adding: \u2018It was always wrong for journalists to have been prosecuted for doing their jobs.\u2019 The landmark U-turn came yesterday after a jury threw out the case against three Sun journalists and one former Daily Mirror reporter. Lucy Panton, former News of the World crime reporter, had her conviction quashed by the Court of Appeal after being the first to be found guilty . Brandon Malinsky, Neil Millard and Tom Wells, as well as their Fleet Street rival Graham Brough, were cleared of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office. They were accused of funnelling cash to public officials in exchange for leaks from inside some of Britain\u2019s most secure jails. But the jury found that exposing how taxpayers\u2019 cash was wasted on bingo games for illegal immigrants and lavished on child killer Jon Venables was not a crime. Within hours, the CPS threw in the towel on nine other cases, including fresh prosecutions and retrials. The decision followed a review sparked by the Court of Appeal quashing the conviction of the first journalist to be convicted. It can now be revealed for the first time that ex-News of the World crime editor Lucy Panton was found guilty of bribing officials only for her conviction to be overturned. Some of the most senior judges in the country criticised how the archaic law of misconduct in public office \u2013 under which prosecutions were brought \u2013 had been applied, fatally undermining other cases.

+{"article": "A southern New Jersey woman jailed in an international custody dispute has been freed after spending more than eight years behind bars and is likely to be reunited with her daughter who's been without either parent for nearly a decade. Mar\u00eda Jose Carrascosa, a 49-year-old native of Spain, was released from jail Friday night, The Record reported. Carrascosa, formerly of Fort Lee, was paroled last year after moving her daughter, then 5, to Spain when the girl's father, Peter Innes, was granted custody of the child. Freed: Mar\u00eda Jose Carrascosa was released from a New Jersey jail on Friday after spending nearly 9 years behind bars for refusing to return her daughter to the United States . Defiant: Carrascosa defiantly refused to bring her daughter back to the United States and thus remained jailed nearly nine years . Once paroled, Carrascosa was taken to the Bergen County Jail for contempt of court for violating a court order to bring the child back. Her release came in part thanks to a letter written to the court by Peter Innes. Superior Court Judge Bonnie Mizdol, ultimately deciding that incarceration would not coerce Carrascosa to comply with child custody orders, ordered her release from jail Friday. Jail time for contempt of court is meant to coerce a person into cooperating with a judges orders, not as a punishment. However, Carrascosa defiantly refused to bring her daughter back to the United States and thus remained jailed. 'The question before this court is whether incarceration has lost its coercive power and has become punitive,' Judge Mizdol said. 'It has become clear that continued incarceration would not compel her to return her daughter, so it would be deemed punitive.' During the hearing, the judge read a letter from Innes, of Hasbrouck Heights, that said he would not oppose Carrascosa's release if she returns to Spain to be with their daughter, Victoria. The judge also read a letter from Victoria, who is now 14, that said: 'My only wish is to be with my mother.' Tearful reunion: Carrascosa had a tearful reunion with her daughter via Skype following her release and says she plans to return to Spain as soon as possible .

Ironically Mandzukic was booked for a foul on Varane when it looked like he had been elbowed again, shortly after he needed treatment to stem the blood flow from above his eye after a clash with Ramos. Carvajal, meanwhile, denied that he had bitten Mandzukic. He said: 'I've seen that after the game I have been accused of biting another player, I want to say clearly that I haven't bitten anybody, nor attempted to do so.'

The senior advisers provided the first preview of the message Clinton planned to convey when she launches her long-anticipated campaign on Sunday with an online video. Scroll down for video . Two senior advisers said on Saturday that Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign will center on boosting economic security for the middle class and expanding opportunities for working families . Until now, the former first lady has offered only hints of what would drive her if she were to run a second time for the White House. The strategy described by Clinton's advisers has echoes of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. He framed the choice for voters as between Democrats focused on the middle class and Republicans wanting to protect the wealthy and return to policies that led to the 2008 economic collapse. The advisers said Clinton will argue that voters have a similar choice in 2016. Clinton also intends to sell herself as being able to work with Congress, businesses and world leaders. That approach could be perceived as a critique of Obama, Clinton's rival for the nomination in 2008. He has largely been unable to fulfill his pledge to end Washington's intense partisanship and found much of his presidency stymied by gridlock with Congress. The Clinton advisers spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss her plans ahead of Sunday's announcement. People familiar with the plans say Clinton will travel to Iowa and other early-voting states to hold small events with residents in the days after the video's release.

'It's time for her.' As her official announcement loomed, the Republican National Committee linked Clinton to Obama, a regular focus of criticism from the GOP.

McDonald's announced Wednesday that it will increase starting wages for full- and part-time employees to a dollar over the minimum wage where company-owned restaurants operate. The company said the increase will be instituted starting July 1. It expects the average wage to be more than $10 an hour by the end of 2016, up from the current rate of $9 an hour. Fattening paychecks: McDonald's announced Wednesday that it will raise starting wages at its restaurants to a dollar over minimum wage beginning July 1 . McDonald's USA owns about 10 percent of the more than 14,300 McDonald's restaurants across the country, with the rest operated as franchises that will not be subject to the pay increases. The burger brand joins other large corporations raising basic pay against a backdrop of an improving economy and public pressure to increase wages. Workers at fast food chains, including McDonald's, staged protests last year, asking companies to raise wages to $15 an hour and demanding a union. Complaints in front of the National Labor Relations Board and the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration have also alleged violations including denial of overtime pay and unsafe working conditions at the restaurant chain. Meanwhile, the economy has continued to strengthen, with the unemployment rate falling from 6.7 percent to 5.5 percent over the last year. McDonald's USA President Mike Andres told the Associated Press that only a handful of McDonald's employees joined the demonstrations and that they didn't affect the company's reputation. Demonstrations: Labor organizers with a campaign to raise fast food industry wages to $15 an hour say they are fighting to unionize low-wage workers across various sectors . 'They're not taking a toll,' Andres claimed. 'It's a very competitive environment,' Andres stated. 'A significant rationale for this plan is that we want to be the most competitive and attractive employer.' Last month, McDonald's Chief Administrative Officer Pete Bensen hinted such an announcement could be in the works. Bensen said at the time that a big part of the turnaround effort in the U.S. would be what the company is doing 'around the employment image and our employee-employer relationship.' In addition to wage increases, McDonald's says workers at company-owned stores will get paid time off. Employees who have worked for the company for at least a year and work an average of 20 hours a week will be eligible to accrue about 20 hours of paid time off a year.

Chelsea's Jose Mourinho gestures on the sideline after going into the game against Arsenal without a striker . Oscar was part of a front three who interchanged roles during the first half to great effect for their boss . At times you are left wondering what Eden Hazard, Willian and Oscar make of it all when Mourinho starts working on team shape six days before a clash with Arsenal. This trio have an element of fantasy about their game, with those delightful touches around the corner and the clever wall passes that they can play at will. The master simply wants results. To start without a striker, to ignore the collective groans around the country by starting Willian in a deeply withdrawn role behind Hazard and Oscar, was a statement of intent. Mourinho was forced into it, of sorts, because he has been deprived of Diego Costa and Loic Remy in recent weeks, and his warrior Drogba could not train all week. Even so, you would not put it past Mourinho \u2014 who pulled a similar stunt by playing Andre Schurrle as a false nine at Manchester United last season \u2014 to have done it anyway.

With only one game a week since Chelsea went out on away goals on March 11, Mourinho has used the time on the training field to prepare for Premier League matches as a one-off.

The decision to sack a man who has endured a traumatic 14 months since succeeding Hugh Morris after England\u2019s Ashes whitewash was unanimous, with one board member saying Downton was just \u2018too accident prone\u2019. Paul Downton has left his role as managing director of England and Wales Cricket Board . Downton leaves his role as ECB managing director following England's shameful performance at World Cup . It was Downton who took the huge call to sack Kevin Pietersen and then re-appointed Peter Moores, calling him \u2018the outstanding coach of his generation\u2019. He also oversaw the sacking of Alastair Cook as one-day captain. Former England captain Michael Vaughan immediately said he would like to speak to the ECB about the newly created job of director of England cricket and Andrew Strauss is another possible candidate. Ultimately it was England\u2019s failure to negotiate the first round of the World Cup after an embarrassing defeat by Bangladesh and crushing reverses against Australia and New Zealand, coupled with disenchantment at their management style from many supporters, that did for former England and Middlesex wicketkeeper-batsman Downton. \u2018The England Cricket Department needs to deliver performance at the highest level and our structure needs to be accountable for reaching the standards we aspire to,\u2019 said Harrison in an ECB statement. \u2018The new role we are putting in place will deliver an environment where world-class performance is at the heart of everything we do.\u2019 Michael Vaughan (left) immediately threw his hat in the ring to replace the departed Downton .

Mr Tollman repaid more than 100 million US dollars to America after the couple spent five years fighting off attempts to extradite Mrs Tollman from the UK over claims the South African couple had millions stashed in the Channel Islands. The Tollman's son, Brett, pleaded guilty to tax evasion in 2003 and was sentenced to more than two years in prison, as well as a $3.5 million penalty.

Scientists have discovered strange new organisms that infect the primitive forms of life that live deep below the ocean floor.

This graphic shows how the new archael virus changes uses 'docking tips' - purple area - to infect bacteria . They now believe it may be viruses like this that actually hold the secret that have allowed archae bacteria to adapt to some of the harshest environments on Earth. This is because the virus actively causes one of its own genes to mutate - allowing it to develop new ways of coping with the ecosystem it finds itself in. Life has been discovered nearly a mile and half underground, raising hopes bacteria might be able to survive deep beneath the surface of other planets. Researchers found the single-celled organisms living inside coal beds more than 8,000ft (2,440 metres) below the seabed off the coast of Japan. It is the deepest life has yet been found beneath the ocean. At those depths the spherical microbes have to survive huge pressures that would crush most organisms while having no access to light or oxygen often needed for life. Instead, the bacteria scavenge the chemicals they need to survive by breaking down the hydrocarbon compounds in the coal around them. The findings have raised the prospect that life may still be clinging on deep underground on planets such as Mars, where there was once thought to be flowing water on the surface. Scientists have already speculated that the discovery of archae bacteria deep inside the Earth's crust has raised prospects of finding life on other planets. Now it seems they may also find viruses like this one living there too. Dr David Valentine, a geoscientist at the University of California Santa Barbara and co-author of the research, said: 'Our study uncovers mechanisms by which viruses and archaea can adapt in this hostile environment.' Dr Valentine and his colleagues discovered the virus while exploring methane vents 2,800 feet beneath the surface of the ocean in the Santa Monica basin off the coast of California. By pushing tubes into the ocean floor they retrieved sediments and brought the contents back to the lab where they grew the bacteria. When they screened the genomes of the methane-eating bacteria they discovered the genetic fingerprint of the new virus. The researchers, whose work is published in the journal Nature Communications, screened other samples taken from around the world and found similar fingerprints in bacteria from Norway and elsewhere along the coast of California.

MailOnline Travel chatted with Tomsky to get the answers to some of our most burning hotel questions... Scroll down for video . Hotel industry insider turned author, Jacob Tomsky, reveals the most common items people take from hotels . What are some of the most common items that people take from hotels? Without a doubt, toiletries and towels are definitely the most popular items for guests to pocket, according to Jacob Tomsky, author of Heads in Beds: A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality. But some individuals staying at the hotel take things a bit too far. 'They take everything,' he tells MailOnline Travel. 'Duvet covers, little silver trashcans, universal remotes - anything that's not nailed down.' Despite common misconceptions, it is possible to pocket a plush robe - without incurring any charges . What can you usually get away with taking? Despite common misconceptions, you actually can get away with stealing that coveted hotel room robe. 'If you were to, say, check into a room, take a fresh robe and pack it away in your suitcase, then call down and say your room didn't have a robe in it when you checked in, is the hotel staff going to search your belongings? Highly unlikely,' Tomsky reveals. And when it comes to pocketing toiletries, you can occasionally even ask for more. 'There are other items, as well - complimentary amenities that you may not be aware are available,' he explains. 'Good hotels keep extra items, such as slippers, razors and shaving cream, travel lint rollers, and mini-deodorants, in stock but not displayed in the room.' As it turns out, the minibar is the most fallible system in the hotel, full of items 'sold at an absurd mark-up' If you lie about using the minibar, will the hotel really charge you? 'The minibar is the most fallible system in the hotel,' Tomsky tells MailOnline Travel. 'Human error, over-stocking, failure to re-stock, errant charges from weighted items being shifted but not consumed, all of these lead the front desk to spend hours a day slicing off incorrect charges.'

The fireball was captured on camera on Sunday by the United Kingdom Meteor Observing Network (UKMON) in Portadown, County Armagh .

David Moore from Astronomy Ireland told The Mirror: 'This event was so bright that a piece or pieces may have survived the re-entry and landed as extremely rare and valuable meteorites.' However, the group's initial analysis of its trajectory, based on the 50 sightings that were reported to it, suggests that it may well have fallen into the Irish Sea. UKMON said: 'It is very likely something has survived and landed in the Irish Sea. Probably no bigger than 30 to 50 grams.' It added that the meteorite was burning at a very low altitude of 21 miles, compared to the usual 50 to 75 miles and was formed of 'very hard and dense material compared to soft cometary material which we normally see as meteor showers'.

'The details offer a strikingly good match to a Chelyabinsk-class or Tunguska-class fireball.' In the accounts given in the Bible, Paul had been one of the zealous persecutors of the followers of Jesus. However, during a journey to Damascus, Syria, he and his companions saw a bright light in the sky. Paul was blinded for three days and he heard a divine voice or sound.

He said: 'An Ebola glycoprotein from the Ebola strain in Zaire is being inserted into the VSV live vaccine. While VSV only causes mild symptoms in humans, the protein acts as an Ebola antigen and triggers the formation of antibodies against the disease in the immune system.' Dr Ramharter said these antibodies hide, almost like a 'Trojan horse', in the body in order to successfully fight the Ebola virus if the individual becomes infected. Scientists hope that immunisation is possible with just one injection after 'highly promising results' He added: 'Just one vaccine has conferred one hundred per cent protection against Ebola in the initial trials on primates.' Dr Ramharter said the first phase I clinical trial is now complete. He said: 'The vaccine response is very reliable, the vaccine itself is safe and its tolerability is acceptable.' The most significant side effect was found to be temporary joint pain and inflammation reported among a small group of test subjects, particularly in the European centres. In the phase II studies that are now beginning, the vaccine will be used in patients living in the areas currently most badly affected by Ebola, especially Guinea and Sierra Leone, but also in Liberia. The first case of Ebola was reported in West Africa around 15 months ago. According to estimates, around 25,000 people have been infected by the virus - and more than 10,000 of them having died since as a result. The race is on to find ways to prevent and cure the Ebola virus as there are no proven treatments or vaccines to prevent individuals becoming infected. But progress is now being made on an unprecedented scale with trials which would normally take years and", "summary": "Scientists hope immunisation against virus is possible with one injection .

+{"article": "A flaw in robots designed to perform surgery has been found that lets them be easily hacked, according to researchers. The experts were able to take control of a so-called telerobot during surgery by exploiting a simple programming trick. This enabled them to change the speed of the arms of the robot and change their orientation, making it impossible for the machines to carry out a procedure as directed. Researchers at the University of Washington studied the telerobot Raven II (shown). They found that robots designed for surgery could be 'easily' hacked in to. This is because they are operated over public networks which allowed the researchers to access them and stop them working . The research was carried out by scientists at the University of Washington by toying with a product from their own university - the Raven II teleoperated robotical surgeon. Teleoperation means an operator can use the robot remotely, through a control console. The first telesurgery took place in 2001 with a surgeon in New York successfully removing the gall bladder of a patient in France, more than 3,730 miles (6,000km) away. The communications ran over a dedicated fiber provided by a telecommunications company. But this is an expensive option since such fibers can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Since then, surgeons have carried out remote operations and begun to experiment with ordinary communications links over the web, which are significantly cheaper. Although there are no recorded incidents in which the communications infrastructure has caused problems during a telesurgery operation, there are still questions over security and privacy, said the experts. Source: MIT Technology Review . In the case of Raven II, a remote operator users two long and thin arms to perform complex procedures where otherwise their hands might not be capable. While this experiment was performed in a controlled environment and not on the operating table, the researchers said it's clear more stringent security measures are needed. Raven II runs on a single PC, and communicates with a control console using a standard communications protocol known as Interoperable Telesurgery Protocol. But rather than take place over a secure private network, this takes place over public networks. \u2018Due to the open and uncontrollable nature of communication networks, it becomes easy for malicious entities to jam, disrupt, or take over the communication between a robot and a surgeon,\u2019 said the researchers. In their test, the experts performed various types of cyberattack to see how easily it could be disrupted. This included changing the commands sent by an operator to the robot, modifying signals or hijacking - completely taking over - the robot. And they were also able to \u2018easily stop the robot from ever being properly reset, thus effectively making a surgical procedure impossible.\u2019 While this experiment was performed in a controlled environment and not on the operating table (stock image pictured), the researchers said it is clear more stringent security measures are needed .

The previous steps that lead down to the popular tourist attraction were washed away in storms in 2012. James Weld has stumped up \u00a315,000 to end a three-year stand-off with Natural England over access to Durdle Door beach . Since then visitors have faced a perilous scramble down a crumbling cliff to reach the shore, even resorting to sliding down on their backsides. The iconic rock archway and neighbouring Lulworth Cove are part of the Weld family's 12,000-acre Lulworth estate. The family have maintained the steps since they first bought the land in the 1600s.

However, Mr Weld says that Natural England 'shirked' its duty to reinstate the steps under the law for three years by claiming they did not form part of the coastal path. Calling the long-running dispute 'laughable and ludicrous', he also accused the organisation of ignoring advice given to them on how to manage tourist hotspots like the Lulworth Estate.

Mr Weld, a chartered surveyor, said: 'For quite a number of decades now people have visited our coasts and beaches quite freely. 'About 20 or so years ago we decided to put in steps leading down to the beaches so they didn't have to scramble down the cliffs to get to them.

Major General Allen Batschelet says that 10 percent of young men and women who sign up to join the Army are currently refused because they are too heavy . 'The obesity issue is the most troubling because the trend is going in the wrong direction,' he told CNN. 'We think by 2020 it could be as high as 50 percent, which mean only 2 in 10 would qualify to join the Army. It's a sad testament to who we are as a society right now.' Of the 195,000 young men and women who signed up to fight for our country in 2014, only 72,000 qualified. Some didn't make the cut because they had a criminal background, too many tattoos or a lack of education - but 10 percent didn't qualify because they were overweight. According to the CDC, 81 percent of overweight boys and 71 percent of overweight girls believe they are just the right weight.

The recruiters will spend time educating the hopefuls on diet and exercise and encourage them to lose the pounds necessary to qualify for boot camp. Many still fail to make the grade, but some do - such as a female recruit from Kansas who lost 80 pounds in a year so that she could sign up. 'We are the premier leader on personal development in the world,' said Batschelet. 'We want to see you grow and become a leader. That is a great strength in our Army.' The maximum body fat percentage that the Army allows for recruits aged 17-20 is 20 percent for men and 30 percent for females. The maximum a female soldier, aged 17-20, can weigh is 227 pounds, while the maximum for a male soldier in the same age group is 234 pounds and in both instances that is dependent on being 80 inches tall.

Montes also said that evidence suggests Terry tried to grab the wheel and 'counter steer' the out-of-control vehicle in the moments before the deadly wreck.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement had not yet been made. Lawmakers have been pushing for Leonhart's ouster since her disastrous appearance before the House Oversight Committee last week.

The dual Ashes-winning all-rounder is less convinced, however, about Pietersen's prospects of forcing his way back into Test contention. Kevin Pietersen scored 170 for Surrey in The Parks as he bids to earn a recall to the England squad . Former England star Andrew Flintoff thiks time is running out for Pietersen to resurrect his England career . Pietersen already has three Ashes series wins on his CV but will be 35 before the 2015 edition begins, and Flintoff senses he no longer has age on his side. The controversial record-breaking batsman has been surplus to requirements since being sacked 14 months ago after Alastair Cook's team were whitewashed 5-0 in Australia, but has taken heart from incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves' hints that there may be a way back after all. Pietersen and his agent have both spoken of the 'clean slate' being presented to him, and he began restating his case by hitting 170 against MCCU Oxford in his first red-ball innings for Surrey since June 2013. Flintoff is concerned nonetheless that there is simply no vacancy for Pietersen. 'He's a fantastic player, but nobody just walks into any team - especially the England team, 'I'm back, I'm here, I'm playing',' Flintoff told Press Association Sport. England have won their last three Tests under Cook, pre-dating a miserable World Cup, and took a three-figure first-innings lead in the first match of three in the West Indies. Pietersen has not featured for England since he was unceremoniously sacked 14 months ago . It is hard to identify anyone in their middle order who should step aside, on current form. 'Which of them do you say \"you're not playing!\" for Kevin to come in?' Flintoff said. 'I just think Kevin is running out of time a little bit. 'If he'd started the season last year with Surrey, and scored run after run and put himself in the position... whereas now I think he's looking at the Ashes and he's just running out of time. 'That's not to say he (definitely) won't feature, but I can't imagine it's going to be in the near future.' Flintoff is optimistic about England's fortunes, despite their winter woes, with or without Pietersen.

In a move that will upset traditionalists, the FA are understood to have secured a three-year contract with Emirates Airlines. The deal, due to be rubber-stamped by the FA board on Thursday, is believed to be worth at least \u00a310million a year \u2014 but comes at a cost for lovers of the 144-year-old competition. Arsenal won last season's FA Cup competition, which will be rebranded the Emirates FA Cup . Aston Villa will face the holders Arsenal in this season's final at Wembley Stadium . Renaming it the Emirates FA Cup is a lot closer to title sponsorship than the previous \u2018in association with Budweiser\u2019 agreement, which was worth \u00a39m annually. But the FA, after a highly embarrassing season without any Cup backer that has put huge pressure on their commercial department, needed to offer more to attract a significant sponsor to the table. The hunt proved hugely difficult even after the FA revamped their sponsorship team to bring in expertise honed at Manchester United. And it needed a bit of luck to attract Emirates Airlines, who have a massive sports sponsorship portfolio across the world that includes Arsenal\u2019s stadium and kit. Emirates have big money to spend after deciding last November not to renew their \u00a330m-a-year FIFA sponsorship for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups with the corruption allegations surrounding those tournaments said to be a consideration. And Emirates are no longer involved, either, in the tender for a Champions League airline sponsor, allowing the FA to offer a major football sponsorship alternative. Dubai-based Emirates have their arch Abu Dhabi airline rivals Etihad as Manchester City\u2019s kit and stadium sponsors. But City foresee no problems with an Emirates FA Cup. Villa beat Liverpool in their semi-final to deny Steven Gerrard (centre) the chance of a final trophy . The new FA deal with Emirates will also allow for a further six subsidiary sponsors for the competition, with Budweiser, Nike and William Hill already signed up. And the ambition is for the whole FA Cup sponsorship portfolio to be worth \u00a320m by 2018. The Emirates deal, likely to be officially announced nearer to the FA Cup final on May 30, is also well-timed for the FA\u2019s commercial department with the new chief executive Martin Glenn arriving at Wembley next month.", "summary": "FA Cup is set to be named Emirates FA Cup as part of sponsorship deal .

Dr Timothy Haffey, who removed the wire which was as thick as a heavy-duty nail, said that it miraculously dodged all of Parker's important nerves and arteries. Bill Parker, 34, of Gulfport was mowing his lawn on April 19 when the rusty metal wire entered his left nostril and was lodged in his sinus cavity (above the CT scan showing the wire inside Parker's head) Parker (left) thought a rock had struck him in the face but after going to Memorial Hospital a scan revealed it was a three-and-a-half-inch metal fence wire . 'It threw me back a little bit and it hurt real bad,' Parker told the Sun Herald. 'I felt my face but I didn't feel any disfiguring or anything. I saw blood, so I knew I got a bloody nose.' After nearly 15 minutes following the incident, he and his fiancee Katie Heggins decided for him to go to Memorial Hospital for treatment. A CT scan revealed the metal wire had been shot up his left nostril and was lodged in Parker's sinus cavity beneath his eye socket and next to his jaw hinge. 'Had it gone straight up his nose at the rate it was traveling, it could have gone inside his brain,' Heggins told the Sun Herald. Dr Haffey removed the wire with a simple sinus surgery which took 20 minutes and entailed making an incision on Parker's upper lip. 'It was about a nine-centimeter long, rusty piece of metal that went all the way up to his skull base, and it pretty much dodged everything,' Dr Haffey told the Sun Herald. 'Once the scan showed that, my job was pretty easy.' 'He shouldn't have any long-term effects,' he added. 'Basically, it was a sinus surgery. The problem is this was a rusty piece of metal.'

Kristen Jarvis, 34, is moving on from Washington after seven years of acting as the first lady's go-to gal and constant companion for nearly all her daily tasks. All except some of the famously fit first lady's more intensive workout regimes. Moving on: Kristen Jarvis (at right with Sasha and Malia in 2009) has left the Obamas after seven years as Michelle's fiercely loyal chief of staff . Jarvis, who's moving on to become the Ford Foundation president Darren Walker's chief of staff, admits she did not share Michelle's love of D.C. workout craze Solidcore. 'She can have that,' the Spelman College graduate told the Washington Post. And it's hard to blame her. Solidcore's website says it utilizes 'slow and controlled full-body movements with constant tension to work your muscle fibers to failure...to rebuild a more sculpted, stronger and [solid] you.' Jarvis, instead, got her workouts by helping carry the First Lady through her last seven years in the White House. She was with the Obamas even before that, however. Jarvis entered the family's orbit in 2005 when she joined Obama's Senate office. She went on to work on Obama's 2008 campaign and then Michelle's staff leading up to the election before becoming her top personal aide. Her relationship with the family, insiders say, was deeply familial. 'She can have that': Jarvis says she mostly kept up with fitness-loving Michelle, but drew the line at D.C. workout craze Solidcore . Jarvis's last trip on Air Force One with the family she's come to know and love was especially emotional and not just because she'd soon be leaving the presidential world behind. The trip was to Selma, Alabama where the first black family in the White House was traveling to the civil rights anniversary commemorations. 'It was so powerful. It felt like [both] the message of 2008 and how far we've come as a people,' she told Wapo. Perhaps just as personally meaningful was how that final trip ended back in Washington, where Mrs. Obama invited Jarvis to exit at the front of the plane with the family. 'As we walked down the steps, FLOTUS was holding my hand,' Jarvis said, as if the First Lady was happily leading her into her new life. Jarvis said that Michelle was an active part of her transition out of Washington. 'She has been a mentor throughout this entire process,' Jarvis said. Ten years of service: Jarvis, 34, first joined the Obamas' orbit in 2005 when she took a job in then Senator Obama's office . The Maryland native lost both parents and a brother before she was 30 and, Jarvis's deputy Melissa Winter told Wapo, 'The first lady was able to fill unintentionally some areas of Kristen's life that she was missing growing up.'

We ate clam chowder from a bread bowl at Fisherman's Wharf, we trawled the boutiques of Haight Ashbury in search of the summer of love, we bussed out to the Golden Gate, and we wondered at the aquarium in Golden Gate Park. Jane travelled the scenic route, taking in beaches . And, fleeces on, we took the boat trip to Alcatraz, which is not to be missed.

That\u2019s the surprising conclusion of a study that found that large amounts of ice were not just at the Martian poles, but likely towards the equator as well. It means that, if all ice were to be spread across the surface of Mars, the entire planet would be covered in more than 3.3ft (one metre). This image from Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows that a thick layer of dust on Mars covers the glaciers, so they appear as the surface of the ground, but radar measurements show that there are glaciers composed of frozen water underneath the dust . The latest research was carried out by scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen and published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Evidence of water on Mars dates back to the Mariner 9 mission, which arrived in 1971. It revealed clues of water erosion in river beds and canyons as well as weather fronts and fogs. Viking orbiters that followed caused a revolution in our ideas about water on Mars by showing how floods broke through dams and carved deep valleys. Mars is currently in the middle of an ice age, so liquid water cannot exist on its surface at the present time. However, the planet seems to have been warmer and wetter in the past. In June 2013, Curiosity found powerful evidence that water good enough to drink once flowed on Mars. In September, the first scoop of soil analysed by Curiosity revealed that fine materials on the surface of the planet contain two per cent water by weight. Images from several Martian satellites had revealed the shape of glaciers just below the surface, and confirmed most were made of water-ice. And now the researchers have measured how big the glaciers are, and their similarity to glaciers on Earth. In total there is more than 150 billion cubic metres of ice on Mars, which could \u2018cover the entire surface of Mars with 1.1 metres of ice,\u2019 explained Dr Nanna Bj\u00f8rnholt Karlsson at the Centre for Ice and Climate at the Niels Bohr Institute. She added that the ice closer to the Martian equator was \u2018an important part of Mars\u2019 water reservoir.\u2019 There are thought to be thousands of glacier-like formations on the planet in both the northern and southern hemispheres. They are located on Mars between latitude 30.0 and 50.0 - equivalent to just south of Denmark\u2019s location on Earth.

The Hollywood blockbuster tells the story of a serial killer who targets children in Stalin era Russia . Russia's culture ministry said the film distorted history as it celebrated its victory over Nazi Germany . Russia's culture ministry said the film's distributors in Russia, Central Partnership, had agreed to withdraw a request for a distribution licence after ministry officials viewed the film. 'Films such as 'Child 44' should not go out in our country on mass release, earning money from our cinema audiences, not in the year of the 70th anniversary of victory, not ever,' Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky wrote on the ministry's website. The move to effectively ban a major mainstream Hollywood film just a day before it was due to premiere is unprecedented. In recent years, Russia has cracked down harshly on negative depictions of the Soviet Union during the Stalin era, while criticism of those who fought in the Second World War is taboo. The culture ministry accused the film of 'distortion of historical facts and the idiosyncratic treatment of events before, during and after' the war. The film is set in 1952, a year before Stalin's death, and features a maverick investigator seeking a serial killer, while hindered by official attitudes that such murders are not possible in the Soviet Union. Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky (pictured) condemned the film for its depiction of the horrors of the Stalin regime . 'You realise murder is strictly a capitalist disease,' French star Cassel hisses in a thick Russian accent in the film's English-language trailer. Culture minister Medinsky slammed the film for its depiction of the horrors of the Stalin regime and said it misrepresented a country that was 'one of the world leaders'. The film shows Soviet Army officers as 'blood-thirsty ghouls' randomly shooting people, 'especially gays,' Medinsky complained. Soviet women have to offer them sexual favours or 'be sent, as is customary, to the Gulag,' he added with heavy irony. The decision to pull the film came after the culture ministry on Tuesday gave it a distribution licence with an 18+ certificate. The head of Central Partnership, Pavel Stepanov, issued a statement saying he was 'satisfied' with the film's ban.

The Indiana native, who was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer shortly after her 18th birthday, had defied doctors' expectations after they told her that she would not live past December. Instead, she played four games with her team at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati and raised more than $1.5 million for research into the cancer, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. But as her condition worsened, she became an honorary coach and earlier this year, she moved to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where she passed away on Friday morning. Scroll down for video . Loss: Lauren Hill, who is pictured playing for Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati in November, died in hospital on Friday - aged just 19 - after a brave battle with a rare form of brain cancer . Just a year and a half ago, Hill was just another high school student getting ready for college after she decided to play basketball at Mount St. Joseph. A few weeks later, she started experiencing dizziness while playing for her high school team in nearby Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Tests found the tumor and she was told that she had less than two years left. But in September, doctors told her she wouldn't make it past December - and after years as a standout high school basketball player, Hill's hopes of playing college ball were put in jeopardy. But the NCAA granted permission to move the school's opening game forward because of her worsening condition, and on November 2, she realized her dream of playing for the school. She scored the first and last baskets of the team's 66-55 victory over Hiram College. 'It's a dream come true,' she said. 'To play on a college court, to put my foot down on the floor and hear the roar of the crowd - I just love it so much. I love basketball. 'Everything that happened today was amazing. I'm truly happy, it's a really good day.'

Brave: Hill, who used her limited energy to inspire people and raise money for research into the cancer that ultimately took her life, is pictured in her room in Cincinnati last December . Final days: Lauren is pictured enjoying Easter and St Patrick's Day from hospital in Cincinnati . At the game, she said she wanted to find a cure for the rare cancer, which has a less than 10 per cent survival rate and most often affects children aged four to nine. Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a type of brain tumor found in the part of the brainstem at the lower back of the brain. Due to the tumor's location, it can cause double vision, difficulty controlling eye movement and facial expressions, and difficulty swallowing and chewing. It may also cause weakness in the limbs.

A slice through the 3D Map of the nearby Universe. Our Milky Way galaxy is in the centre, marked by a cross. The map spans nearly two billion light years from side to side. Regions with many galaxies are shown in white or red, whereas regions with fewer galaxies are dark blue. The lighter blue and white areas on the map represent greater concentrations of galaxies. The red area is the supercluster called the Shapley Concentration, the largest collection of galaxies in the nearby universe. Unexplored areas are marked in uniform medium blue. Professor Michael Hudson, Jonathan Carrick and Stephen Turnbull, of Waterloo's Department of Physics and Astronomy, and Guilhem Lavaux of the Institute d'Astrophysique de Paris of the Centre national de la recherche scientifique of France, created the map. Published online in the peer-review journal, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society \u2014 one of the world's leading primary research journals for astronomy and astrophysics, knowing the location and motion of matter in the universe will help astrophysicists predict the universe's expansion and identify where, and how much dark matter exists. Dark matter accounts for a large majority of the mass content in the universe. It is a hypothesized form of matter particle that does not reflect or emit light and as a result it can't be seen or measured directly. The existence and properties of dark matter can only be inferred indirectly through its gravitational effects on visible matter and light. 'A better understanding of dark matter is central to understanding the formation of galaxies and the structures they live in such as galaxy clusters, superclusters and voids,' said Hudson. Scientists have observed that galaxies move more than can be accounted for by the universe's expansion. These discrepancies are called peculiar velocities. For example, our own Milky Way galaxy and its neighbour Andromeda are moving with a speed of 2 million km/hr. Previous models haven't fully accounted for this observed motion. Hudson and his team are interested in discovering what structures are responsible for the peculiar velocities. These deviations in the motion of galaxies are a valuable tool to determine the distribution of matter and dark matter on the largest scales. The next step is to get better maps and better samples of peculiar velocities to compare with our maps, the team say. They also created a video shows a 3D Map of the nearby Universe.

A friend insists Fredric Brandt was offended by a character on Tina Fey's new TV show that bore uncanny similarities to him - despite initial claims he 'laughed it off'. The cosmetologist killed himself on Easter Sunday, weeks after the March 6 launch of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix. In it, Martin Short plays a caricatured white-haired cosmetologist called Dr Franff with an inordinate amount of fillers in his face. Friends admit Brandt identified the resemblance - but most claim he jovially pointed it out and laughed. However, another friend, hair colorist Kyle White, told the New York Times his reaction was a front. 'He never thought it was fun,' White told the paper. 'He was about putting on a happy face in public.' The character has been targeted as a 'breaking point' for Brandt, who had allegedly started spending his Saturday nights at home injecting himself with fillers. One of his clients and friends Rosemary Hayt told the paper she spotted syringes for fillers in his bathroom at home in Chelsea, New York. She said: 'I thought, \"Oh, Fred, this isn't a good thing to be doing alone on a Saturday night.\" 'It was disturbing thing, and I didn't want to think about it.' According to a growing body of voices, this worrying behavior was exacerbated by The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Sources close to Brandt said the doctor, who suffered from depression, told People magazine he was 'definitely hurt' by an apparent portrayal of himself on the Netflix show. The friend called the Kimmy Schmidt send up 'bullying,' but added that it did not cause his suicide. Sources were today opening up about how Brandt was wounded by the characterization - though they said that this suicide could not be pinned on one insulting TV show. A friend speaking to People said: 'It was making fun of him for the way he looked and it was mean and it was bullying. '...It wasn't the only thing troubling him, it was just one factor. It definitely hurt him. He was absolutely upset, who would want that? But that was not why he committed suicide. But it didn't help.' Another source, speaking to the New York Daily News, said that Brandt had become fixated on his appearance and cried in front of patients. The source said: 'He worked 15-hour days, his office was jam-packed, and I paid him a compliment. He was so sensitive he started to cry. He said how awful the public was, and how mean people are.

They say it contains a third less iodine than normal milk \u2013 which could affect infant brain growth and intelligence later in life. UHT longlife milk was also found to have similarly low levels of the mineral, academics from Reading University found. Because milk is the main source of iodine in the British diet \u2013 providing 40 per cent of the average daily intake \u2013 switching to organic may have a significant impact on health, they warn. The organic milk industry last night issued a swift rebuttal. Organic milk is often drunk for its supposed health benefits, with claims that it contains omega-3 fatty acids that are good for the heart. And in response to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the sector is growing. One in every 20 pints of milk bought is now organic and more than 300 million pints were sold in the UK last year, worth \u00a3160million. But researchers said that because organic farmers do not give their cows as many artificial supplements the milk lacks iodine, which is important for the healthy development of babies in the womb and in their first months of life. The mineral is thought to have a major impact on the formation of the brain, with repercussions for IQ and school success later in life. Study author Professor Ian Givens said the findings could have \u2018serious implications for public health\u2019. He stressed that organic milk was not \u2018bad\u2019 for health, and said Britons could get the same amount of iodine as in a pint of normal milk by drinking an extra half-pint of the organic variety. But he warned that without careful monitoring, the country risks \u2018sleepwalking\u2019 into a new health crisis in the 21st century. Iodine deficiency was once endemic in parts of the UK, with thousands in the 1930s and 1940s suffering from the thyroid condition goitre. The latest findings, published in the journal Food Chemistry, were based on skimmed, semi-skimmed and full-fat milk purchased at four unnamed supermarkets. But the organic milk industry last night said the research \u2013 conducted in January last year \u2013 was out of date. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers who drink organic milk may be putting their child\u2019s health at risk due to the smaller amount of iodine in the product. Iodine is essential for brain growth . OMSCo, which provides two-thirds of Britain\u2019s organic milk, said procedures had been changed over the past 18 months to ensure more iodine is fed to dairy herds. Peter Melchett, of the Soil Association, also dismissed the findings, saying organic milk had \u2018scientifically proven\u2019 health benefits. Research in 2013 by experts in Bristol and Surrey found that children born to women deficient in iodine have a 60 per cent risk of lower IQ scores at the age of nine.

The inquest in Oldham heard that Nathan - described by his family as a 'cheeky, happy boy' - trained to become an electrician so he could follow in his father's footsteps. The pair were both working at Eurofabs UK Ltd, a sheet metal manufacturer in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, when tragedy struck in September 2013.

He said: 'I gather Nathan was an apprentice electrician who was working for his father and contracted by a company called Eurofabs to conduct a complete electrical inspection.

And now developers at Open Garden have built Greenstone - a small egg-shaped gadget that acts like a beacon, or a booster, to help messages move around so-called wireless mesh networks more easily . FireChat launched last year and has been downloaded more than five million times. It takes advantage of a feature that launched in Apple\u2019s iOS 7 called Multipeer Connectivity Framework (MCF).

Apple added to Multipeer Connectivity framework (MCF) to iOS 7. It creates what\u2019s called a wireless mesh network that connects phones to each other. Instead of sending messages using mobile or data signal, the features lets users send messages to people in close proximity that are in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct range - up to around 30 feet (9 metres). It does this by creating a localised network in which each phone becomes a node and the data is passed between nodes. Apple uses the framework for its AirDrop feature, for example, which makes it easy to send files and data to other connected iPhone users. However, there are limits to how far a message can travel in this way - at around 200ft (61 metres) - and Greenstone has been designed to solve this. When a user opens the FireChat app, they pick a screen name to start sending messages. Within the app there are 'chatrooms' with 'Everyone' and 'Nearby' options. The former will search for all users, while the latter option applies to people within Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range who are also using the app. This is particularly useful when on a plane, or the underground.

+{"article": "Target: Groups of men and women were asked whether they would kill a young Hitler (pictured above aged 25) to prevent WWII . It is a classic question of morality - if you could travel back in time and prevent the Second World War by killing a young Hitler, would you? You could hypothetically save millions of lives - but at the cost of personally murdering someone who had yet to do anything wrong. The answer, according to a recent scientific study, has a lot to do with your gender; and women are far more reluctant to cause any harm in the short term in order to get a better result in the long run. Researchers from Germany, Canada and the United States analysed answers to the Hitler question, and others like it, from 6,100 people. They found that significantly more men than women would kill to save lives further down the line, while women were more troubled by the act itself and would often decide to do nothing. Other dilemmas tested included a scenario where a group of people were hiding from soldiers trying to kill them, but were about to be given away by a baby crying. The choice is whether to smother the child and save the group, or keep it alive and be caught. A third imagined a farming family who had fallen on hard times and had no food to eat. Their only way to avoid starvation would be to have their young daughter carry out sex work for money. The study, published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, grouped the responses into two groups. Those who chose short-term harm to get an overall better result were termed utilitarians. The other group, for whom the ends could not justify the means, were called deontologists. Differences: The study revealed that women are more reluctant than men to do something harmful in the short-term to secure a better result in the long term (file photo) Hard times: Another question imagined that the only way out of poverty and stavation was making a young girl do sex work for money (file photo) The scientists found that men were moderately more likely to fall into the utilitarian camp, while in women there was a very pronounced trend to go the opposite way. Other data also suggested that women found the decisions more agonizing than the men, who had relatively straightforward time coming to their conclusion. Rebecca Friesdorf, one of the researchers, who is based at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, Canada, said that the results seem to show women employ more emotion making their decisions, while men go more on logic alone. As the women had stronger, competing urges in each scenario, they found the dilemmas more difficult. Explaining her study to NPR, she said: 'Women seem to be feeling more equal levels of both emotion and cognition. They seem to be experiencing similar levels of both, so it's more difficult for them to make their choice.'", "summary": "Researchers in USA, Canada and Germany analyzed 6,100 responses .

Six others are facing related charges in what prosecution documents described as 'a two thousands piece puzzle built around four births'. Human trafficking: Carmen and Mike Gorgan, pictured speaking to their lawyer in the courtroom of Marseille's Criminal Court today, are accused of paying a Roma gang \u00a36,500 and a BMW for newborn baby boy Tony . At the centre of the scandal was Ilie Ionita, a 35-year-old Romanian, and co-conspirators Valeriu Rosu, 42, Florian Stan, 33, and Florin Coman 25. All face up to 10 years in prison and fines equivalent to more than \u00a31million. They deny the charges against them, saying the babies were 'a gift'. The only defendant not in court was Fana Moses, the 32-year-old mother of the baby boy called Tony whom the gang sold. In July 2013, Marseille detectives received an anonymous tip that a Romanian woman had just given birth and had given the child to Mike and Carmen Gorgan, aged 27 and 28. The four accused Roma gang members deny the charges against them, saying the babies were 'a gift' Both were accused of 'complicity in human trafficking', but their lawyer, Patrick Gontart, insisted: 'They do not believe they have done anything wrong'. The Roma gang was arrested as they prepared to board a flight from Italy back to Romania. At first all denied that money or good had been exchanged, but it was quickly established that Mr Gorgan had handed over 9000 euros(\u00a36,565) and the BMW to Ionita. Mr Gontart said: 'For a month and a half, Carmen behaved like Tony's mother and was very well treated.' He said the couple had 'fallen into the trap of many European couples. These are good people who are now unhappy because their child has been placed in a home.' Documents including identity cards were falsified to try and make it look like the parents who bought the baby were the biological mother and father. They had been trying for children unsuccessfully for ten years, the court heard. At least three other cases of babies being sold were then tracked down, both on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica and on the mainland. In all, two boys were sold, while other transactions broke down. All of the children are now back with their biological mothers, or else have been taken into care by social services. OICEM, the organisation against modern slavery, is a civil party in the case \u2013 one which it says highlights the growing problem of poor immigrants offering children for sale.

Following criticism for spending \u00a322.5million pursuing animal welfare prosecutions last year, the RSPCA is now reviewing its policy on fox hunting cases. The RSPCA is considering abandoning its controversial policy of 'pursuing pointless fox hunting prosecutions' after the collapse of the latest case (file picture of the Boxing Day hunt in Lacock, Wiltshire) The RSPCA has the power to bring its own prosecutions rather than rely on the police or the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). However last October, a report commissioned by the charity recommended abandoning the policy and leaving the job to the CPS, which has more expertise. The organisation stressed that its main role is to focus on the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of animals, rather than taking people to court. A spokesman said: 'One of the questions we are currently looking into it whether or not we continue to prosecute under the Hunting Act.' Fox hunting was outlawed in 2005 under Tony Blair's government, but groups continue to meet by using trail hunting, usually with a hunt member dragging the scent of a fox across fields and woodlands. Other hunts use an exemption that allows dogs to flush out the animals from woodland which can then be shot. There were more than 400 prosecutions under the controversial Hunting Act between 2009 and 2013. Just 49 people were charged with hunting offences in 2005, but this more than doubled to 110 by 2010.

Scientists quizzed more than 5,000 British teenagers about their drinking habits and the films they had watched from a list of 50, including Bridget Jones' Diary and Aviator. Those who had watched the most films which featured characters drinking alcohol were 20 per cent more likely to have tried alcohol and 70 per cent more likely to binge drink. Danger: Young people who watch films where characters drink alcohol (such as The Hangover) are more likely to binge drink . The research also revealed that between 1989 and 2008 almost three quarters of popular UK box office films depicted alcohol use - but only six per cent were classified as adult only. Lead author Andrea Waylen, from Bristol University, said children were not getting an accurate perception of drinking - and called for films to be rated by alcohol content. She said: 'Alcohol is a drug and it has potentially adverse effects, not only for individuals but also for family and friends. 'It's not very often that we see the adverse effects of alcohol portrayed - like vomiting, rotten hangovers. 'In my view, we don't really get an accurate representation of what alcohol is like.' The research is the latest installment from the Children of the 90s study. It involved 5,000 British 15-year-olds who were questioned on a variety of topics in the mid-2000s. They were asked which films they had seen from a list of 50 popular releases the researchers had already watched - and had added up the minutes in each film that showed alcohol use. Role model: Daniel Craig's character James Bond (left) is partial to a vodka martini. The new research revealed that between 1989 and 2008 almost three quarters of popular UK box office films depicted alcohol use - but only six per cent were classified as adult only . The results revealed that children who had watched the most alcohol scenes were almost two-and-a-half times more likely to have a drink more than once per week. They were also twice as likely to have alcohol-related problems than those less exposed. The study concluded that the current rating system was not adequate for parents trying to limit their childrens' exposure to drinking. Dr Waylen added: 'My guess is there needs to be a level of identification with the drinker in the film. 'Kids are more likely to identify with consuming characters in films where alcohol use is made to look cool, get you friends, win the girl or boy. 'Adverse outcomes from alcohol use are a large societal public health problem and rating films according to alcohol content may reduce problem-related alcohol use and associated harm in young people.'

Militants fighting for the Islamic State terror group in Syria have announced that all nurses working in areas under their control must speak English - something the NHS still hasn't introduced. Revealing plans to open a school of nursing in ISIS' de facto capital Raqqa, the extremists also disclosed the tough entry requirements for prospective medical workers. Among them are rules that applicants are no more than 25 years of age, must be willing to work anywhere inside the territory controlled by the extremists, and must speak fluent English. The latter rule is something that even the NHS has yet fully put in place, with nurses who trained in European countries still able to treat patients without any formal language checks thanks to bureaucratic rules barring the Nursing and Midwifery Council testing EU candidates. Details of the first nursing school to be opened in ISIS-held territory were revealed by on Twitter by Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently - an activist group based in the Syrian city that uses a network of brave informers to document the daily atrocities carried out by the Islamic extremists. RIBSS shared a photograph of a laminated document written in Arabic giving details of the new medical school and listing the entry requirements for would-be nurses. It states that all candidates be aged between 18 and 25, pass an entry exam, impress during an interview, graduated from secondary school with science qualifications, be willing to travel to any ISIS-held area, and willing work for ISIS institutions for at least two years after graduating. The document also states the importance of English - saying candidates will not be accepted without knowing how to speak and understand the language. This is in stark contrast with Britain where English language checks for all nurses are still not being enforced, despite legislation being passed last month making them a legal requirement. Jihadis: ISIS has English language rules for all nurses. The NHS does not have the same level of checks . Although the law has changed, the Nursing and Midwifery Council must engage in a lengthy consultation process, draft new legislation and seek council approval before it can test the English language skills of nurses who trained within the EU. Students graduating from ISIS' nursing school will be required to spend a full two years working for institutions run by the terrorist organisation after graduating. However the announcement in Raqqa promised that graduate nurses who achieved top grades and showed the most promise at the school will be considered for places as ISIS' medical school, where they can train for better paid jobs such as doctors and surgeons. ISIS' English language rules have been put in place long before the NHS has been able to bring in similar checks.

+{"article": "The Earth experienced its hottest month of March since record-keeping began in 1880. There's been no break from the globe's record heat - the first three months of 2015 have all set new high temperature marks. Last month's average temperature soared to 56.4\u00b0F (13.6\u00b0C), which is 1.5\u00b0F (0.85\u00b0C) above the average for the 20th century. Last month's average temperature of 56.4\u00b0F (13.6\u00b0C) was the hottest March on record, averaging 1.5\u00b0F (0.85\u00b0C) above the average for the 20th century. This was the highest for March in the 1880\u20132015 record, surpassing the previous record of 2010 by 0.09\u00b0F (0.05\u00b0C). Pictured is how the high temperatures affected different regions of the world . The data, released today by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) takes into account global averages across land and sea surfaces. It follows earlier announcements from US government scientists that 2014 was the hottest year in modern history. Scientists warn that fossil fuel burning is pushing more greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, leading to increased temperatures, melting of polar ice and glaciers, and rising seas. 'This was the highest for March in the 1880-2015 record, surpassing the previous record of 2010 by 0.09\u00b0F (0.05\u00b0C),' said the report. The warmth was spread fairly evenly across the hemispheres. Most land areas were warmer to much warmer than average, as shown by the Temperature Percentiles map on the right, with record warmth in parts of the western United States and Canada, various regions in eastern Africa, parts of Scandinavia and northwestern Russia, part of south central China, and an area of northeastern Australia . NOAA scientist Jessica Blunden blames the heat on El Ni\u00f1o and climate change. El Ni\u00f1o is caused by a shift in the distribution of warm water in the Pacific Ocean. Usually the wind blows strongly from east to west, due to the rotation of the Earth, causing water to pile up in the western part of the Pacific. This pulls up colder water from the deep ocean in the eastern Pacific. However, in an El Ni\u00f1o, the winds pushing the water get weaker and cause the warmer water to shift back towards the east. This causes the eastern Pacific to get warmer. But as the ocean temperature is linked to the wind currents, this causes the winds to grow weaker still and so the ocean grows warmer, meaning the El Ni\u00f1o grows. This change in air and ocean currents around the equator can have a major impact on the weather patterns around the globe by creating pressure anomalies in the atmosphere. Last month, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration now predicts that there is now a 50 to 60 per cent chance El Ni\u00f1o will continue through the summer. For the first three months of the year, the average temperature worldwide was 1.48\u00b0F (0.82\u00b0C) above the 20th-century average. That marked the highest ever recorded for that period, surpassing the previous record in 2002 by 0.09\u00b0F (0.05\u00b0C). Also of concern was the finding that Arctic sea ice was the lowest on record for March.

This world might be 63 light-years away - and we can\u2019t even get a direct image of it - but scientists have incredibly been able to measure its atmosphere, just by measuring its sodium emission. The findings - made with a relatively small telescope - suggest we may soon have the opportunity to examine other distant worlds beyond the solar system in unprecedented detail. Swiss researchers measured the temperature of 'Hot Jupiter' HD 189733b. They found the temperature reaches up to 3,000\u00b0C in the atmosphere (shown in diagram).

Coupled with the extremely high wind speed of 620 mph (1,000km/h), it reveals the planet has an extremely turbulent atmosphere - and is almost certainly inhospitable to life. The planet was already known to orbit 13 times closer to its star that Mercury is to our sun, completing an orbit in just 2.2 days. But the results are exciting, because it highlights just how much information we can glean from a distant world with limited technologies. Speaking to MailOnline, subproject leader Dr Kevin Heng said it could be possible to measure the conditions on an Earth-like world using this technique \u2013 although the process was difficult. \u2018It remains to be seen if the astronomical community is able to do these measurements for Earth analogues,\u2019 he said. The difficulty arises because an Earth-sized world blocks out much less of the light of its parent star compared to a Jupiter-sized world like HD 189733 b . \u2018It would help if we can find an Earth-like exoplanet orbiting a really bright star,\u2019 Dr Heng added.

It went on to say that Kun Kun 'provokes fear among the community'. He was also referred to as a 'ticking time bomb'. Wang Yishu, party chief of Shufangya village, said: 'The villagers sympathise with him, he is innocent, and only a small child. But his AIDS is too scary for us'.

In a recent interview with Salon, Ceara explains that she got started in the industry by accident. When she was 17, Ceara was on a dating website when one particular suitor intrigued her; the meaner she was to him, the more interested in her he became. She went on to seek out similar men, eventually finding a website called Ebanned where she could sell her used underwear. Her first pair sold for $70.

A woman has been branded a 'menace to the community' after she posed as both a council warden and a church official to bluff her way into sheltered housing complexes to steal from vulnerable residents. Julie Walters, 49, has been jailed for two and a half years after she pretended to be a trusted official to dupe elderly victims out of cash. She was caught by police after she was spotted on CCTV loitering in the communal hall of a retirement property near to the Old Trafford football ground in Manchester before an 80-year-old man and an 81-year-old woman were fleeced in two separate attacks. Today, police issued CCTV images of Walters of Withington, Manchester, hanging around outside the complex after she admitted three counts of burglary at Manchester\u2019s Minshull Street Crown Court. The court heard how the first victim, a man aged 81, was targeted at about midday on February 25 this year when he was walking back to his sheltered accommodation. He saw Walters get out of a taxi and she asked him for money, claiming she needed to pay the taxi and then go into town. Mistakenly thinking she was one of the wardens, he gave her about \u00a330 in cash. The next day she returned to the man\u2019s address, claiming she worked there, and needed to check his bathroom. After tricking her way inside, she stole his wallet and \u00a3100 in cash. Walters struck again on March 2 at the home of an 80-year-old man who lives at another retirement home.

Later that day and at the same retirement home, Walters targeted the home of an 81-year-old woman, claiming she was from 'the council' and needed to use the toilet. Once inside, she stole a \u00a35 note from the woman\u2019s handbag but was caught red-handed. When confronted she simply put the note on the coffee table and left.

Seven points separate eight teams with six matches to play but Boro know if they keep winning, they cannot be caught. Their buffer over second-placed Bournemouth is a point with Watford, their opponents on Monday, and Norwich a point further back. Patrick Bamford (left) of Middlesbrough celebrates his goal against Wigan with his team mates . Another advantage for the Teesside club is that their contest at Vicarage Road is a lunchtime kick-off. As they discovered on Good Friday, when they triumphed over relegation-threatened Wigan, stealing a march can have a psychological effect. Previous leaders Bournemouth and 10-man Watford could only draw, at Ipswich and Derby respectively, in the evening matches.

But in fact mobile health apps are \u2018fuelling anxiety\u2019 and \u2018eroding people\u2019s sense of wellbeing\u2019, warns a senior GP. The \u2018untested and unscientific\u2019 apps cause stress by making us worry that we are abnormal or unhealthy, says Dr Des Spence. Popular apps include MyFitnessPal and Apple\u2019s health app, which is automatically installed on the latest Apple smartphones. But Dr Spence warned that newer apps that monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels could be causing unnecessary worry without providing any benefit. \u2018The truth is that these apps and devices are untested and unscientific, and they will open the door of uncertainty\u2019, the Glasgow GP wrote in the British Medical Journal. He added: \u2018We should be sceptical of embracing more medical technology. One of the problems we face as doctors is that although people are much healthier, there is a lot more anxiety. \u2018People\u2019s sense of wellbeing has been eroded and a lot of that is by technology, use of the internet, that type of stuff. \u2018My concern with the health apps is they have the potential to fuel anxiety without any benefit.\u2019 Dr Spence said that manufacturers were more concerned about making a profit than their customers\u2019 wellbeing, with apps purposely designed to make people worry about their health so they would spend more money on health technology, diet pills and slimming firms. \u2018The people who write these apps will clearly have a commercial agenda. The underlying ethos of the app will be about profit and not about health\u2019, he said. Apple\u2019s health app comes pre-downloaded on its new phones and automatically tells you how many steps you have walked each day. It can also work out the number of calories you have eaten and burned off, as well as your blood pressure, blood sugar levels and heart rate. Warning: Apps that monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels could be causing unnecessary worry, says senior GP . And last month the computer giant launched the Apple Watch, with prices starting from \u00a3300, which can also monitor users\u2019 health and fitness. Dr Spence said the majority of apps which just monitor your calorie intake or step count were \u2018harmless\u2019, but are unlikely to offer many health benefits. And he warned there was a risk that patients relying on them would feel \u2018cheated\u2019 if they developed cancer or heart disease despite trying to follow a healthy lifestyle. However, Dr Iltifat Husain, editor of the iMedicalApps.com website, said there was no evidence health apps caused harm.

Normally, it's present in the body at higher levels in the morning, and at its lowest at night. Although stress isn't the only reason that cortisol is secreted into the bloodstream, it has been termed the 'stress hormone' as it is released when the body is in 'fight or flight' mode. As she explains, when you encounter a stressful situation \u2018your body will start releasing [the hormones] adrenaline and norepinephrine within seconds to prepare you to fight - or more likely, take flight.\u2019 After a minute or two your body is flooded with cortisol, which is vital in keeping you healthy in tense situations. Cortisol puts more glucose into your bloodstream so that when the adrenaline is gone you don\u2019t crash. \u2018It also kicks your liver into gear, pumping out the extra glucose that\u2019s now sloshing around inside of you,\u2019 Dr Burks explained. But if you stay stressed for too long, it can have negative effects. After a minute or two of being stressed (stock image shown), your body is flooded with cortisol, which is vital in keeping you healthy in tense situations. But too much will lower your immune system, and could also make your bones more fragile, according to Dr Raychelle Burks from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln . \u2018Cortisol inhibits some of your immune responses, meaning you\u2019re more likely to get sick and it takes longer for wounds to heal,\u2019 Dr Burks continued. \u2018Cortisol also slows bone growth, meaning sustained levels can lead to weaker, more fragile bones. \u2018And because cortisol acts on a part of your brain that controls appetite, it also increases your desire for fatty and sugary foods.\u2019 One positive side effect of too much cortisol, though, is that cortisol is good at reducing swelling or itching in its medical form - known as hydrocortisone. However, remaining stressed for too long is still not advisable - and Dr Burks recommends eating healthy food, exercising and getting plenty of sleep to beat stress.", "summary": "University of Nebraska researcher has revealed why stress is bad for you .

A jilted husband who repeatedly stabbed his estranged wife in a graveyard screaming 'Go to sleep with your mum!' has been jailed for 20 years. David Norris's wife begged him to think of their children as he launched his vicious attack - but he only stopped stabbing her when she 'played dead' and a member of the public intervened. Today he was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court after being found guilty of attempted murder. Norris, 51, pounced on his wife Dionne in the graveyard of St Nicholas Church in Southfleet, near Gravesend, in Kent, as she was about to lay flowers at the grave of his grandmother on October 11 last year. The pair, whose marriage had broken down in August of that year, had arranged to meet up to lay flowers first at the grave of the victim's mother, then at Norris's grandmother's, as they did every year. Norris collected his wife and they visited the first gravesite before they had a conversation about their marriage and whether it could be saved. She told Norris she did not feel she could forgive him for some of his actions and he told her she had destroyed their family. Mrs Norris said she did not want to argue and they agreed to carry on to the second graveyard as planned. While she was unwrapping the bouquet of flowers, Norris lingered at the car boot before walking over to join her. He said: 'If I can't have you, no one can have you.' He lunged at her, knocking her over and grabbing her round the throat. Screaming, she managed to struggle free momentarily before he jumped on her again, brandishing a knife. She begged him to think of their children but Norris stabbed her repeatedly. A member of the public tried to intervene but Norris threatened him with the knife before turning to stab Mrs Norris again, telling her: 'Go to sleep, go to sleep with your mum.' He walked away and the member of the public returned and called the police, comforting Mrs Norris until the emergency services arrived. She had suffered numerous stab wounds to her upper body, arms and hands, as well as a collapsed lung. Officers immediately began searching for Norris, who had called his sons and an uncle and asked them to meet him as soon as he had left the crime scene. He met them and they convinced him to hand himself in to police. Norris and his wife Dionne had visited St Nicholas Church, Southfleet (pictured) to lay flowers on his grandmother's grave. The 51-year-old then began stabbing his wife, screaming 'Go to sleep with your mum!' He was arrested at North Kent Police Station in Thames Way and charged with attempted murder.

ISIS jihadis are understood to have been fighting local groups in the Hammam al-Alil area when several of them sustained injuries requiring medical treatment. When the doctors refused on the grounds they do not support the terror group's activities, the men were brutally murdered. Scroll down for video . Details of the doctors' brutal murders in the northern Iraqi desert were reported by the country's Al-Sumaria satellite television network. Local official Mowaffaq Hamid al-Azawi described the city of Mosul as a big open-air prison, where residents are subjected to barbaric torture at the hands of the ISIS terrorists. The news comes as the jihadis reportedly executed 60 Sunni tribal fighters in Iraq's Anbar province. Members of the Al-Karableh, Albu Ubaid, Albu Mahal and Albu Salman tribes were brutally executed after paranoid ISIS militants accused them of collaborating with the Iraqi security forces. Iraqi Army soldiers and the Iran-backed volunteer Shiite militias allied with the Iraqi regime have had great success in pushing ISIS out of key towns and villages recently. Just last week the security forces liberated the city of Tikrit - the birthplace of Saddam Hussein and a strategically important area from which the Iraqi Army will look to recapture Mosul and eventually force ISIS out of the country altogether.

Speaking at a joint news conference with his South Korean counterpart, Carter said he would not go so far as to say this is the beginning of the end for ISIS in Iraq. ISIS' onslaught plunged Iraq into its worst crisis since the 2011 U.S. troop withdrawal from the country. The militants have also targeted Iraq's indigenous religious minorities, including Christians and followers of the ancient Yazidi faith, forcing tens of thousands from their homes. Since then, ISIS has carved out a self-styled caliphate in the large area straddling the Iraqi-Syrian border that it now controls. In early August, the United States launched airstrikes on the militant group in Iraq, in an effort to help Iraqi forces fight back against the growing threat by the IS militants, who still hold the northern Iraqi province of Ninevah and most of the western province of Anbar, in addition to small areas north of Baghdad in their hands, along with a large swath of land in neighboring Syria. More than 200 Yazidi prisoners have been set free in northern Iraq after nearly a year in Islamic State captivity, Kurdish military has said today.

The driver, who has not been identified, was trapped under the car for more than four hours during the incident that occurred on Wednesday, but miraculously suffered only minor injuries. The girl was in stable condition and largely kept her cool during the ordeal, said fire Capt. Paul Voakes of the Pine-Strawberry Fire District. The two passengers, aged 16 and 17, who have also not been identified were removed from the four-door sedan an hour after the accident. Details were not immediately available on their condition, however officials indicated the injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. The driver of the car, a 16-year-old girl, was thrown from the car and trapped underneath for more than four hours after it veered off the road and dropped 100ft from a cliff landing on top of her (above scenes from the wreckage) Depression visible: It took emergency services around five hours to pull the teen driver, who has not been identified, from the wreckage and she only suffered minor injuries (above the four-door sedan after it landed upside down) The driver of the car is believed to have only suffered minor injuries because of a depression in the roof of the car that created a space between the roof and the ground that enveloped her after the car flipped over and landed.

The two other passengers managed to climb up to the road when an ambulance crew responded to a 911 call from a passer-by, said Voakes. Rescuers used ropes to go down the cliff or hiked in via a creek bed to reach the upside-down car. The girls were returning from the popular Fossil Creek outdoor area when the accident occurred near the border of Gila and Yavapai counties.

The plaintiff, Luis Colon, also claimed that Rapiejko choked him and ordered that he get back into his car. Scroll down for videos . Michael Rapiejko (above) was accused of approaching Luis Colon as he got out of his car in October 2005, pointing a gun at him and threatening to shoot him . According to NBC 4, Rapiejko's defense team said that while their client did point a gun at the man and order him back into his car, the other claims were untrue. Colon was charged with obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, all charges that were dropped in April 2006. In the end, the city settled with Colon for $20,000 under the condition that he dismiss all other claims.

Primatologists working in Ntokou-Pikounda National Park have captured the first ever picture of the Bouvier's red colobus monkey. Their discovery proves that the primate - which was first discovered in 1887 and is only known from three specimens - is not extinct. Scroll down for video . This is the first ever photograph of the Bouvier's red colobus monkey, which was thought to have been extinct . The image captured by researchers Lieven Devreese and Ga\u00ebl Elie Gnondo Gobolo appears to show a mother with her young. Researchers now hope to study the monkey in an attempt to learn more about it. A new species of monkey has been discovered after scientists learned to distinguish it by the appearance of its penis. The white-cheeked macaque was discovered in the remote highland forests of south-east Tibet after researchers set up camera traps. The monkey has a distinctive rounded penis rather than the arrow shaped genitalia found on other species in the area. Officially named Macaca leucogenys, it earned its common name due to the pale whiskers on its chin and the side of its face. Dr Pengfei Fan, one of the researchers who discovered the new species and a biologist at Dali University, Yunnan, in China, said the new macaque had long been misidentified as another species. He said that due to the remoteness of the location in Medog County of Tibet, few biologists had been there. Mr Devreese said: 'Our photos are the world's first and confirm that the species is not extinct. 'No one knows anything about them. They live in an area where scientists rarely go, along the banks of a river a in a very inaccessible area.' Mr Devreese spent three months, after setting off in February, searching the jungles of Congo in an attempt to find the Bouvier red colobus monkeys, or Piliocolobus bouvieri. Together with his Congelese colleagues, he visited remote villages to ask locals if they had seen them and traced the locations of unconfirmed reports of sightings. A group of the monkeys were discovered living in the forests that sit along the Bokiba River in the Ntokou-Pikounda National Park. However, they found that the creatures appear to be extremely vulnerable to hunters involved in the commercial bushmeat trade in the area. Red colobus monkeys are among the largest primates in the forests of Congo and are prized by hunters. The animals are also poor at recognising threats, often believing they are safe in the trees. Rather than fleeing, red colobus monkeys tend to look down at humans from the trees. The last unconfirmed sighting of a Bouvier's red colobus monkey was in the 1970s and they are mentioned in a book from 1949 as living in swamp forests aong the Likouala and Sangha rivers. In his attempt to rediscover the monkeys, Mr Devreese launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the expedition on Indiegogo.

The xylella fastidiosa bacteria has ravaged olive trees in the Puglia region and contributed to a 35 percent drop in the region's olive oil production last year. Its spread has so alarmed the EU that France announced a boycott of Puglian fruit and vegetables, while its effect on production will mean shortages in the supply of olive oil and is likely to lead to higher prices for shoppers in Britain and around the world. An Italian forestry official stands guard as workers begin chopping down an infected olive oil tree .

Puglian growers have opposed the government's destruction plan, saying it won't stop the bacteria's spread . However, Puglian growers have opposed the government's slash-and-burn plan, saying it won't contain the bacteria's spread. Several dozen protesters tried unsuccessfully yesterday to block the first seven trees from being felled in Oria, near Brindisi, even climbing the branches and shouting 'assassins.' Eventually, the first seven trees were cut down and are to be burned today, with more to follow. Many of Italy's oldest olive groves, some dating back 500 years, have been infected by the bacterium, which causes plants to shrivel, leaving them incapable of bearing fruit. Puglia, a region in the heel of Italy, produces about 11million tons of olives a year, more than a third of the national crop, and they are used to make some of the country's best oils. The initial area to be culled is 20,000 acres \u2013 about 30 sq miles \u2013 between Lecce to Brindisi. It contains around 11million trees, according to Unaprol, the largest consortium of growers. It is feared that unless drastic action is taken to fell the groves, the bacterium will spread to other olive-producing regions of Italy such as Tuscany and Umbria, and even to other Mediterranean countries. Last month Vytenis Andriukaitis, the European Commissioner for Food Safety and Security, said he was 'profoundly concerned by the gravity of the situation'. He added: 'We have to take decisive measures with immediate effect. Naturally it is very painful for the growers but it is necessary to remove all the affected trees, it is the most effective measure.'

+{"article": "The performance of Jimmy Anderson on the last morning of the second Test was one of the greatest I have seen from an England cricketer. He did everything right as a bowler, catcher and fielder. It was Botham-esque. England must be doing something right behind the scenes if one of their players can produce something like that almost out of nothing. Sessions that win matches do not happen purely by chance. When something like that happens it\u2019s very hard to adhere to the old mantra of not getting too up when things go well and not too low when they go badly. England captain Alastair Cook celebrates as he scores the runs to defeat West Indies in the second Test . Cook (left) dives to his left to take a catch at first slip and claim the wicket of Chanderpaul . England must remember that, having won a crucial toss, they had the best conditions against the eighth-ranked side in the world. But this was a win to savour. Anderson may have won it with his extraordinary display but the key to me in England going one-up was the captaincy and batting of Alastair Cook. There were times during the Ashes when it was very clear who was leading Australia on the field but not so obvious who was in charge of England. Arms were being waved everywhere and, if you did not know Cook was the England captain, you would never have guessed it from watching them. Yet now he looks completely in charge of this England team. Whether it is because he has a young team or whether he has simply said, \u2018Sod it, I\u2019ve taken a lot of criticism and now I\u2019m going to do it my way,\u2019 I don\u2019t know. But even on the fourth evening when West Indies were only two down and the match looked destined to be a draw Cook was still impressive in the field. He seems to be on top of the big two senior bowlers in Anderson and Stuart Broad, as was made clear in the first Test when he had a little argument over fielding positions with Anderson and very much got his own way. James Anderson (left) celebrates the dismissal of West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels . Cook (left) celebrates with team-mate Gary Ballance (right) during the second test last week . And it makes such a massive difference to the captain if he is scoring runs. Everything becomes clearer and you do not have to fret over your place. OK, Cook hasn\u2019t scored that elusive century yet and the big test will come when he faces the moving ball again but for now his game looks in very good order again and he is making very good half-centuries. You have to say that it suits the way England play to be up against West Indies. England like to sit in, be patient and build pressure on a side. West Indies are perfect for that because they are not coming at England in this series. Cook appears to have learnt", "summary": "Jimmy Anderson's recent performance in the second Test was one of the greatest I've ever seen from an England cricketer .

Thompson, then an oceanic engineer at Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, and his crew brought up thousands of bars and coins, much of them later sold to a gold marketing group in 2000 for about $50 million. He was accused of cheating his 161 investors, who paid $12.7 million to find the ship, out of the proceeds. In civil proceedings brought by a number of the backers they claimed the find was worth up to $260 million. Columbus attorney Rick Robol, who at one time defended Thompson's company, said there was no proof Thompson stole anything. Thompson and his girlfriend, Alison Antekeier, 42, failed to appear in court in 2012 and abandoned their Florida mansion. A man who had worked for the couple later discovered wads of cash hidden in the pipes and a book called How To Be Invisible at the property. Thompson and Antekeir were arrested in January after U.S. marshals tracked them down to the Boco Raton Hotel in Florida. They were said to have been staying there for more than a year and using fake names, according to U.S. marshals. 'Thompson was smart \u2014 perhaps one of the smartest fugitives ever sought by the U.S. Marshals, along with almost limitless resources and approximately a 10-year head start,' U.S. Marshal Michael Tobin said when the pair were found.

The SNP want to eject Trident from Scotland, but both the Conservatives and Labour have committed to retaining the base on the Clyde. Scroll down for video . Gibraltar could be the new home of Britain's nuclear submarines (one pictured) if the SNP succeeds in ridding Scotland of Trident .

The SNP's deputy leader Stewart Hosie has threatened to hold Westminster to ransom over Trident if the party holds the balance of power after the general election on May 7. Other options for a new home for the nuclear deterrent include Falmouth, but the potential political fall-out of moving the submarines to the Cornish coast make Gibraltar a more attractive proposal.

'It would be interesting to see Spain\u2019s reaction, \u00adhowever, since it is a non-nuclear member of Nato.' Gibraltar's Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said it had the facilities available and had been visited by submarines from the UK and the US in the past.

And now researchers have discovered its success may lie in the use of words author J.K Rowling chose across the series - rather than the texts as a whole.

The Harry Potter books (pictured) have sold more than 450 million copies and its success may lie in the use of words used - rather than the texts as a whole. By scanning the brains of people reading passages from the collection, researchers discovered 'arousing words' affected parts associated with emotion . The emotional potential of words is rated in terms of valence and arousal ratings. Valence refers to how positive or negative a word is, while arousal refers to its 'physiological intensity', or the extent to which it affects the reader and their view of the word or text. These properties are normally used for words in isolation, which can be categorised as negative, neutral, and positive. But the researchers from Lancaster University wanted to see how these classifications and findings for individual words could be applied to passages of text and books as a whole. 'A text is more than a list of words, and the way these words are combined, or the context they are embedded in, clearly matter,' explained the researchers. They screened all seven Harry Potter novels: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (1997), Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (1998), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (1999), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2000), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2003), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007).

The team then used a magnetic resonance imaging scanner to map activity in the brains of people reading these 120 passages. Following the experiment in the scanner, each participant rated the passages on valence, on a scale of -3 for very negative to +3 for very positive, and arousal, on a scale of 1 for very calming to 5 for very arousing. The sentence: 'And then a silence fell over the crowd, from the front first, so that a chill seemed to spread down the corridor', from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban featured a range, or span, of arousal.

The paint has proved so popular that the trial cans up for grabs at certain cycling shops in London were snapped up in days. And some of these are now on sale on eBay for \u00a345 ($66) at the time of writing. Volvo launched the paint to increase the visibility of cyclists on the road.

Pauline McKee thought she hit it big in 2011 when, after putting a penny in the 'Miss Kitty' game at the Isle Hotel Casino in Waterloo, the screen announced she had won a bonus award of $41,797,550.16. But on Friday the Iowa Supreme Court determined McKee, who has thirteen grandchildren, had actually only won $1.85 because of how the symbols had aligned in the game. The unanimous court ruled that the casino did not have to pay McKee because the game's rules stated that the maximum award was $10,000 and that bonus awards were not allowed. Pauline McKee, 90, will not receive the $41million jackpot she thought she won from the slots at the Isle Hotel Casino (pictured) in Waterloo, Iowa after the state supreme court ruled her win came from a software error . 'I had my doubts from the start, because that's a lot of money for a penny machine,' McKee told the Chicago Tribune after the ruling. 'I was hoping to help my children out financially, but it wasn't meant to be.' Justice Edward Mansfield wrote that the game's rules and pay table, which are available for reading on the machine, amount to a contract between the casino and the player. The contract is binding, whether or not the player reads the rules, he said. 'Any message appearing on the screen indicating the patron would receive a $41million bonus was a gratuitous promise,' Mansfield wrote in a ruling that dismissed McKee's lawsuit. 'The casino's failure to pay it could not be challenged as a breach of contract.' Stacey Cormican, one of the casino's attorneys, said the court's decision will ensure fairness in Iowa's large gambling industry. 'Casinos are required to post rules and follow those rules. If either the patrons or casinos could change the rules in the middle of the game, it would be absolutely chaos,' she said. Cormican said the casino could have been forced into bankruptcy if the court had ruled in McKee's favor. A $41 million payout would amount to about half of the gross revenue the casino generated last year.

+{"article": "Britain's leading art gallery has uncovered new evidence in its attempt to keep a \u00a31million Constable masterpiece that was looted by the Nazis from its Jewish owner during the Second World War. Tate Britain chiefs believe the chance discovery of an export permit will bolster their claim that the 1824 oil painting \u2013 Beaching A Boat, Brighton \u2013 was legitimately brought to Britain. The 1946 document bears the signature of a dealer called Karola Fabri and seeks permission for the transfer of artworks from Budapest to Zurich, including one by Constable identified as Fishing Boat. Scroll down for video . New evidence? Tate Britain chiefs believe the chance discovery of a 1946 export permit (pictured) will bolster their claim that Constable's painting was legitimately brought to Britain . Constable's masterpiece Beaching A Boat, Brighton was looted by the Nazis from its Jewish owner during the Second World War . The discovery of the permit in the archives of Budapest\u2019s Museum of Fine Arts is the latest twist in an increasingly fraught dispute between the Tate and the descendants of the painting\u2019s original owner, Baron Ferenc Hatvany, who died in 1958. The descendants of Hatvany \u2013 believed to be two daughters and a grandchild \u2013 say the Nazis stole the painting and smuggled it out of Hungary. It turned up in Britain in 1962 and passed through several hands before being donated to the Tate in 1986. The family launched a claim three years ago. The Government-backed Spoliation Advisory Panel, which rules on disputes over looted art, supported the heirs last year and said the Tate had a \u2018moral obligation\u2019 to return the painting. Sources close to the case say the export permit could prove the Tate\u2019s claim that Hatvany voluntarily disposed of the painting while he was still alive. The Tate does not dispute that the painting was looted by the Nazis but the gallery\u2019s understanding is that it was returned to the owner after the war and then legitimately exported. Stormy seas: The battle over Constable's painting evokes the story of a Jewish refugee's fight to reclaim a looted picture in the film Woman in Gold (pictured) Gallery chiefs are expected to argue that the permit proves the work was still in Hungary after the war. But The Mail on Sunday understands the claimants will argue the permit doesn\u2019t change anything as it does not identify Hatvany. One source said: \u2018If you had stolen the painting, you would still need to get an export permit to get it out of the country.\u2019 A source at the Tate explained that there was legal duty to protect any assets owned by the British public, which is why the gallery argued that the painting should remain in the UK. They said: \u2018No one disputes that the picture was at one stage looted by the Nazis, what is in dispute is what happened after it was returned to its owner.\u2019 The dispute evokes the story of Dame Helen Mirren\u2019s new film, Woman In Gold, which charts the story of how Jewish refugee Maria Altmann battled", "summary": "'Beaching A Boat, Brighton' taken from Jewish owner in Second World War .

A former Director of Public Prosecutions has said lawyers involved in the decision not to charge Lord Janner with child abuse in 2007 failed to pass new evidence to him. Lord Macdonald QC, who was DPP between 2003 and 2008, said that instead of consulting with headquarters in London, CPS lawyers in Leicestershire decided fresh evidence against Janner was not worth pursuing through the courts. That decision meant Janner, now 86, was able to escape prosecution for eight years until the CPS controversially announced earlier this week that he is now unfit to stand trial due to Alzheimer's. Speaking to The Guardian, Lord Macdonald said: 'It is a matter of great regret that I was never informed of the existence of this case in 2007. \u2018If it had been referred to me, I would certainly have given it my close and robust personal attention. \u2018The grave failure on the part of the local CPS lawyers to refer this case to headquarters is no doubt one of the matters that (High Court judge) Sir Richard Henriques will be looking at in his review of these cases.\u2019 Alison Millar, head of the abuse team at law firm Leigh Day, who represented an alleged victim of Lord Janner, said: 'The main option now for those who allege they were abused by Lord Janner, to ensure their claims are investigated and for their voice to be heard, is through a civil legal claim. 'We are currently investigating the feasibility of such a legal challenge.' The news comes after it was revealed last night that Westminster attendance records show Janner attended the House of Lords almost daily and claimed more than \u00a3100,000 in expenses in the four years after he was diagnosed with the disease. He only stopped attending Parliament \u2013 and claiming up to \u00a3300 a day for doing so \u2013 when child abuse police raided his house on December 2013. Even in that month he attended the Lords 12 times. Lord Janner is said by his alleged victims to have preyed on young boys at care homes near his Leicester West constituency. On Thursday Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said the peer would not be prosecuted because his condition means there could be no criminal conviction. She said there was evidence to charge Janner with 22 sexual offences against children carried out between 1969 and 1988, and that he should have been prosecuted in 1991, when Janner\u2019s name was raised in a major paedophile trial, and again in 2007.

And considering the 27-year-old Yorkshireman finished joint 12th following a closing round of 68 on the Blue Monster, perhaps it is not too fanciful to suggest Willett could become the first Masters debutant to slip on the green jacket since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.

If you can't do that I don't know what your own long-term goal is. I have my own idea of where I want to be and it's not finishing mid-pack.' A certain Rory McIlroy might have something to say about such lofty ambitions next week, but Willett is very well aware of what the world number one is capable of from their amateur days. The pair met in the first round of the Amateur Championship in 2007 and it was Willett who was five up after six holes before eventually sealing victory on the 17th.

Technology that claims to transform any smartphone into a Star Trek-style tricorder is set to be unveiled in Israel. The company behind the device says it has the potential to break down the chemical components of almost any object from a distance. The image shows how the picture might be used . Unispectral Technologies and Tel Aviv University, who are behind the system, say it works by analysing a materials 'hyperspectral signature', which is its unique chemical fingerprint. The team have already patented the optical part of the system, which is based on existing microelectromechanical or 'MEMS' technology. 'The optical element acts as a tunable filter and the software - an image fusion library - would support this new component and extract all the relevant information from the image,' said Professor David Mendlovic at Tel Aviv University. Hyperspectral imaging collects and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. A Tricorder is a scanning device used by Starfleet personnel in the Star Trek universe. It was used largely by Mr Spock, the alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise . Once the camera take an image, the data would be further analysed by a third-party to extract the hyperspectral signature at any location in the image. Hyperspectral imaging collects and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. For each pixel in an image, a hyperspectral camera acquires the light intensity for a large number of different spectral bands. This allows it to provide more detailed information about the scene than a normal color camera, which only acquires three different spectral bands. The imaging works in both video and still photography, he says. 'We are close to producing a prototype, which is scheduled for release in June,' said Professor Mendlovic. 'A long list of fields stand to gain from this new technology. 'We predict hyperspectral imaging will play a major role in consumer electronics, the automotive industry, biotechnology, and homeland security.' This back-end analyser would need a large database of hyperspectral signatures at its disposal. Applications of the sensor include remote health monitoring and industrial quality control.

Michael Olsen, 52, from Dartford, Kent, was challenged by PCs Mark Bird and Robert Wilson after abandoning his car in the middle of the road after ploughing into a traffic island and parked cars. He initially ignored the officers who were pursuing him by car but when they got out he turned round and pulled a gun to PC Wilson's head. When PC Bird lunged at Olsen in a bid to save his colleague he felt a sharp pain through his hand and realised he had been shot. They were able to restrain and arrest him, where they found a bag of bullets in his pocket. The 45-year-old officer, who is now back on duty, and his colleague had been called to a routine traffic accident in Welling on October 3, last year, when the incident unfolded. A Land Rover Freelander had been abandoned in the middle of the road after a crash and a member of the public had called to say the driver had walked off. The police officers went after Olsen in their car and spotted him walking along a nearby residential street where they confronted him. PC Bird, who has been in the force for nearly 23 years, said: 'I challenged him and he ignored us and carried on walking. We stopped the car almost straight away and jumped out. 'As I challenged him again he turned around, pulled out a revolver and pointed it about five or six feet away from Rob's head. He said: \"If you come any closer I will blow your effing head off\".' He added: 'I looked at his eyes, and I thought he means what he says he's going to do, so I went for him with my left arm to try and knock the gun away from him. PC Mark Bird (pictured) was attending a routine traffic accident with his colleague PC Robert Wilson in October last year when the incident happened . 'As I did this he turned towards me. I felt the gun in the palm of my hand and he fired one shot. I felt a really sharp pain, like someone pushing a knife through and then pulling it out again.' Police believe he was on his way to see his ex-girlfriend whom he was banned from seeing under bail conditions. PC Bird added: 'It was literally such a split second thing and we had to try to do something, because we were cornered really, and there was no way we were going to let him go. 'It's only afterwards that you realise the gravity of it. If the bullet had gone through the wrist, it could have gone up the arm and travelled towards the heart.

In particular, the images show the brightest spot and its companion standing out against the darker surroundings. But experts are still at a loss to explain the composition and source of the bright spots. Scroll down for video . Nasa scientists in California have revealed new images of the dwarf planet Ceres. They reveal new views of the two brightest spots in a crater (shown). However, scientists are still not able to explain what they are. Dawn will begin its first science orbit around Ceres on 23 April . These latest images were taken on 14 and 15 April from a distance of 14,000 miles (22,000km) from the north pole of Ceres. Several theories are currently being touted for what these mysterious bright white spots are on Ceres. The Hubble Space Telescope has found more than 10 on the surface, but Ceres has found that the two most prominent - \u2018spot 5\u2019 - are in a crater about 57 miles (92km) wide. One theory is that they are salt flats that are reflecting sunlight, left on the surface by saltwater. Another theory is that they are regions of ice, again reflecting sunlight. Ceres is thought to have plenty of ice beneath its surface, which could be exposed when a asteroid or comet strikes the surface. The fact these bright spots are in a crater - where such an impact occurred - supports this theory. Another possibility is that they are cryovolcanoes - volcanoes that are shooting out water or ice. However, the lack of a raised area around the spots consistent with a volcano suggests this might not be correct. And they could even be water vapour ejecting from a liquid reservoir under the ground, although again current observations - namely a lack of additional material near the spots - suggests this is not the case. As the spacecraft gets closer to the dwarf planet and moves around it, more and more of the surface is coming into view. The two brightest spots seen in a crater are known as \u2018spot 5\u2019. The scale in the image is about 1.3 miles (2.1km) per pixel, almost 70 per cent better than previous images. But the origin of the bright spots remains a mystery for now - with theories ranging from exposed ice to volcanoes. Salt flats or ice seem to be the predominant theories at the moment, with the bright spots appearing to reflect incoming sunlight towards the spacecraft\u2019s cameras. Until Dawn gets closer, though, it\u2019s unlikely the mystery will be resolved. \u2018It\u2019s too early to say what they are,\u2019 Dr Marc Rayman, Dawn's mission director and chief engineer, told MailOnline. \u2018Some people have offered they might be ice, but I don\u2019t consider that necessarily the most likely explanation.\u2019 Dr Rayman says he favours the theory that they could be \u2018salty deposits', left over from perhaps saltwater\u2019 on the surface.

Now engineers claim to have designed a range of synthetic eyes that may one day let us replace and even enhance our own sense of vision. Italian bio-designers MHOX has unveiled project is has been working on to 3D print organic tissues to produce working body parts that can replace the eyes of people suffering from disease. It could mean rather than getting glasses to correct their vision, people would be able to replace their entire eye. The MHOX Eye concept (above) is designed to replace and even enhance the vision compared to a normal eye . The group plan to combine the biological tissue with microscopic wireless technology to provide additional functions and give super human eyesight. While currently still just a concept, the project raises the prospect of what bio-engineering may make possible in years to come. The team behind MHOX say their synthetic eyes, which include lenses that improves the image sharpness and can put filters over the vision, could be available by 2027. Scientists claim to have made a 'giant leap' towards creating 3D organs that could be simply printed out in hospitals when needed for a transplant. An international team have created the first organs that include a full vascular network for transporting blood through organs. They say it could even allows organs damaged by cancer to simply replaced. Scientists from the Universities of Sydney, Harvard, Stanford and MIT have now bio-printed artificial vascular networks mimicking the body's circulatory system that are necessary for growing large complex tissues. Using a high-tech 'bio-printer', the researchers fabricated a multitude of interconnected tiny fibres to serve as the mold for the artificial blood vessels. They then covered the 3D printed structure with a cell-rich protein-based material, which was solidified by applying light to it. Lastly they removed the bio-printed fibres to leave behind a network of tiny channels coated with human endothelial cells, which self organised to form stable blood capillaries in less than a week. Filippo Nassetti and Alessandro Zomparelli, the two Italian designers leading the project, said: 'Latest developments in bioprinting and biohacking let us imagine that in the near future it would be possible to easily print organic, functional body parts, allowing the human to replace defected districts or enhance standard performance. 'This project is based on the idea of augmenting the sight sense, increasing the functionalities of the eye with ones currently handled by other body segments or external devices.' Under MHOX designs, patients with eye disease will inthe future be able to replace their eye with a synthetic one printed in a laboratory. For those looking to improve their vision, they could buy the 'Enhance' model that features a 'hyper retina' to give 15/10 vision - significantly better than normal 20/20 vision.

+{"article": "Are you partial to a prawn mayo sandwich, drawn by the lure of a shrimp cocktail on a menu? Once only enjoyed by the affluent, prawns are now a healthy, cheap option filling supermarkets, sandwich bars and restaurants across the world. But have you ever stopped to think about where the ones you're eating have come from? Forget sun-kissed seas and a lone fisherman casting his nets into the Indian Ocean to haul in his catch. For a new report shows that idyllic picture could not be further from the truth. A new study by experts at Consumer Reports in the US has found 60 per cent of packaged prawns tested were found to contain traces of harmful bacteria . Experts in the US found the majority of the shrimp sold on supermarket shelves arrive there after starting life on vast prawn farms in south east Asia. Many prawns sold in the UK also come from places such as Thailand and Indonesia. They tested 342 packages of frozen shrimp - 284 raw and 58 cooked samples - from large, chain supermarkets and natural food stores in 27 cities across the US. And their investigation revealed 60 per cent of the prawns were found to have traces of harmful bacteria, including E.coli, which can cause violent food poisoning. Furthermore, in 11 samples researchers detected antibiotics, and seven samples tested positive for MRSA - an infection that is resistant to a number of antibiotics. Other traces of bacteria included salmonella and vibrio, both of which can cause serious food poisoning. Dr Urvashi Rangan, executive director of Consumer Reports Food Safety and Sustainability Centre, warned: 'Bacteria and algae can begin to grow and disease can set in, prompting farmers to use drugs and other chemicals that can remain on the shrimp and seep into the surrounding environment. 'Vibrio is the most common cause of food poisoning from eating raw oysters. 'And even though most bacteria on shrimp would be killed during the cooking process, our test results raise real questions about how shrimp is raised, processed, and regulated.' Scientists found traces of E.coli, MRSA, salmonella and vibrio - a major cause of food poisoning . Responding to the discovery of MRSA, Dr Michael Crupain, director of the Consumer Reports Food Safety and Sustainability Centre, said: 'It's spread through contact, so if MRSA gets on your skin while you're preparing raw shrimp, it can potentially cause an infection, especially if you have an abrasion or cut.' A medium-sized shrimp farm in South-East Asia can produced close to a million pounds of prawns every year, a 'powerful incentive for farmers to maximse production', the report notes. The vast majority of prawns eaten on these shores come from such farms in India, Indonesia and Thailand. There, prawns are 'farmed' in huge industrial tanks, or shallow, man-made ponds that can stretch for acres. In some cases, 150 shrimp can occupy a single square metre. They are typically fed commercial pellets, some of which contain antibiotics to ward off disease.

He'd just been to a World Cup. Rickie Lambert has scarcely been given a chance since joining Liverpool despite their striking problems . Brendan Rodgers' decision to ignore Lambert, in favour of Mario Balotelli, is completely illogical . This time last year Lambert was about to play at a World Cup for England but his stock has fallen since . For Rodgers to ignore him when they have desperately needed goals is illogical. I'm well aware Lambert isn't Luis Suarez, I know he's not a world-class striker. Lambert missed out on Saturday at West Brom because of a hip injury but it must have been gutting for him to see Mario Balotelli get yet another chance. The England striker played 90 minutes 20 times last season, made 31 starts, and unlike any Liverpool player in the scoring charts this season, easily got into double figures. Contrast that with this campaign when in terms of Premier League minutes on the pitch Lambert has played the equivalent of roughly six-and-a-half games. Lambert has enjoyed the opportunity to score for his boyhood team but he deserves more football . When he has started in the Premier League or Champions League, Lambert and Liverpool have impressed . On his first Premier League start for Liverpool he scored, and when he played 90 minutes in four consecutive games he scored in the first game, Liverpool won the next two, and drew the fourth.

He has to go down as Liverpool's worst-ever signing \u2013 at least the club won a trophy when Andy Carroll was at Anfield. How come Balotelli got more time on the pitch at Wembley last weekend than Lambert? And what about Saturday? Balotelli was hopeless yet again.

+{"article": "A milk price war is set to break out following a landmark decision by the EU to scrap quotas restricting production . A milk price war is set to break out following a landmark decision by the EU to scrap quotas restricting production. The quota system was abolished today after 30 years - allowing dairy farmers to produce as much milk as they like without suffering a financial penalty. The move is expected to drive a spike in production, particularly in countries like Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands, who plan to boost exports of milk and other dairy products to the UK. As a result, a price war over the cost of milk is likely to break out, bringing down the price for consumers. However, British farmers are likely to find the price they are paid by supermarkets is driven down, which will be particularly difficult for smaller family businesses. Milk quotas were introduced in 1984 to address the oversupply during the late 1970s and early 1980s that had led to the infamous milk lakes and butter mountains. Farmers who produced above their quota were hit with punishing cash penalties. The new free-for-all will promote dairy factory farms, where super-size Holstein cows have been bred to produce more milk than any calf could drink in order to cut production costs. The industrialisation of dairy farming has seen the number of UK farms producing milk fall from 50,000 to 14,116 over the last 30 years. At the same time the average herd has risen from 64 cows to 134. The average milk production from Holstein dairy cows, which have been labelled \u2018udders on legs\u2019, has risen by 55per cent to 7,327 litres per animal per year \u2013 around 12,900 pints. In some cases this has been done through selective breeding programmes designed to create supersize cows, which are bulked up with high protein feed and kept inside for much of the year in what are known as \u2018zero grazing\u2019 barns. Dairy farmers have been under severe pressure in the past year as the result of a global glut in milk and a supermarket price war that drove down the price of a pint, making it cheaper than some bottled water. Some dairy processors have starting to raise farm gate prices recently, however farmers remain concerned the end of quotas could bring enormous price swings. Chairman of the dairy board at the National Farmers\u2019 Union, Rob Harrison, has urged all EU countries to act responsibly and collectively in order to manage future volatility. Mr Harrison said: \u2018Farmers and dairy processors here do have some concerns about how other EU countries will react to the ending of quotas. \u2018Some are rapidly increasing their output without an end market for these goods. With milk prices yet to show any strong signs of recovery, this could push farmgate milk prices down further in the EU, and stall any recovery in the dairy markets. \u2018It\u2019s vital that expansion in any Member State is planned in accordance with available market opportunities.\u2019 Dairy farmers have been under severe pressure in", "summary": "Quota system abolished so farmers can produce as much milk as they like .

More than one million people have already booked their slots to see the piece of linen that devotees believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ between now and June 24. 'Whether you believe or don't believe, there is no doubt it is something special,' said an Italian man who was among the first visitors following the opening mass in the Italian city of Turin. Archbishop Cesare Nosiglia presents the Holy Shroud, which will be on public display until June 24, 2015 . Pilgrims have already made reservations to see the cloth, believed to have been used to wrap Jesus' body . Imprinted with the image of a man who appears to have been crucified, the shroud has been dated to the end of the 13th century, lending support to those who say it is a medieval forgery. But it has retained its mystical air for many thanks partly to the fact that researchers have been unable to establish exactly how the image was created. The Church does not officially maintain that Christ's body was wrapped in the shroud or that any miracles were involved in the creation of the image now on display. But it does value the relic's symbolic value as a powerful representation of Christ's suffering. 'It is not a profession of faith because it is not an object of faith, nor of devotion, but it can help faith,' Turin Archbishop Cesare Nosiglia said earlier this week. Local authorities are counting on the exhibition of the shroud in the city's cathedral to give a significant boost to the local economy at a time of stagnation across Italy. Guards stand by the Turin Shroud as it went back on display for the first time in five years in Turin's cathedral . The 14 foot-long linen has the faded image of a boarded man and has been a source of wonder for centuries . When the shroud was last presented to the public, in 2010, more than two million people filed past it. Pope Francis decreed the latest exhibition to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of St John Bosco, a 19th century monk who devoted his life to the education of poor children in newly-industrialised Turin. Francis, who has family roots in the region, is due to visit the city and the exhibition on June 20-21. The shroud will be on display for 12 hours a day between 7.30am and 7.30pm with an entry free but requiring reservation via the website www.sindone.org or a special call centre.

The tycoon behind exclusive fashion brand Kitson has been caught up in a $1million legal wrangle after being accused of swearing at staff in a Los Angeles store. Fraser Ross, who founded the company, is embroiled in a legal dispute after his behaviour led the company running the Kitson branch in Los Angeles Airport (LAX) to file a lawsuit to end their business relationship. Kitson, which has shops in California and the Far East, is hugely popular with celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Lady Gaga and Kylie and Kendall Jenner, who have all been spotted with the brand's blue bags. The multi-millionaire, from Aberdeen, is in the midst of an ugly public battle over allegations he swore at workers at the LAX outlet. Despite bearing the Kitson name - Mr Ross' middle-name - the two stores in LAX are not run by him. Instead, another business called Hudson pays Kitson a licensing fee to use the brand. It is alleged that Mr Ross is unhappy with the way the shops are being managed and has made his feelings clear to staff. Now Hudson has filed a $1million lawsuit to end the business relationship. Brian Timmons, a lawyer for Hudson, said: 'This is like a dysfunctional marriage that has been going on for a long time.' In 2013, Hudson inserted a clause into the contract with Kitson, giving it power to veto any Kitson employee coming to the airport stores. Mr Timmons claims that the firm abided by the agreement until last spring, when Mr Ross began showing up without warning and behaving 'inappropriately' toward employees. He said: 'He started saying, \"you are running the brand into the ground. There is too much dust on the shelves\". Lots of nitpicky things. 'It's one thing to correct performance or provide criticism to employees. You know the difference when you go over the line, when you use inappropriate adjectives.' Kitson is popular with celebrities, including the likes of Kendall and Kylie Jenner (left) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (right) Despite bearing the Kitson name - Mr Ross' middle-name - the two stores in LAX (pictured) are not run by him . According to the LA Times, Hudson asked Kitson to pay a $280,000 penalty for violating the terms of their agreement and another $750,000 as compensation for lost profits and the costs of re-branding the two stores after the partnership is terminated. Last month Kitson launched a counter legal action saying that Hudson failed to keep the airport stores sufficiently clean, organised and staffed, and sold non-Kitson merchandise in them. Kitson spokeswoman Courtney Saavedra said Mr Ross did not want to comment. She added: 'Our founder is very passionate about our brand and being represented correctly. That is never going to change.

Scroll down to watch and listen to an underwater volcano erupting . The majority of the world\u2019s volcanoes are found deep underwater and now scientists have been able to record one of these eruptions as it happens to discover the sound it makes. The bubbling lava erupting from the volcanic vent Hades (above) produced a distinctive acoustic signature . Rather than the explosive roar emitted by their cousins on land, underwater volcanoes give off a muted thrum instead. However, the research could allow scientists to monitor undersea volcanoes far more effectively than they have before. Volcanoes lurking hidden under the world's oceans may play a far greater role in climate change than previously though. Scientists found that underwater volcanoes, which were long assumed to ooze lava at relatively steady rates, in fact erupt in pulses. A new study has shown that these submarine eruptions follow regular cycles that can range from just a couple of weeks to 100,000 years. The researchers claim these eruptions appear to be linked to changes in the Earth's orbit that occur over time. Surprisingly the researchers also found that these eruptions also appear to be clustered during the first six months of each year. The findings may now mean that models predicting how human activity will change the climate will need to be adjusted. Volcanic eruptions are known to throw huge amounts of gas into the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide that are thought to increase global warming. However, volcanoes also release aerosol gases that are now known to reduce global warming by creating a reflective barrier against the sun. Using their unique sound signature, researchers will be able to detect different types of eruptions and record the gases being released far more accurately. Bob Dziak, an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Newport, Oregon who led the research, said: \u2018Detecting seafloor volcanism is important because it is a very significant process in terms of chemical impacts on the ocean and natural hazards. \u2018Even though roughly 70 per cent of Earth\u2019s volcanic activity occurs under the water, it has remained largely unobserved. \u2018So, the more of these events that we can detect remotely using acoustics, the more we can understand Earth\u2019s processes and how the planet works.\u2019 Underwater volcanoes are known to be widespread on the floor of the world's oceans at joins in the tectonic plates. Most are located in the deep ocean, where their activity can be difficult to measure, although some in shallow water can erupt with enough lava to create new islands.

The policy announcements \u2013 Labour\u2019s most eye-catching so far in the campaign \u2013 are designed to counter Tory plans to expand Help to Buy loans, the right to buy for housing-association tenants and to offer 200,000 \u2018starter homes\u2019, sold at a 20 per cent discount. They are also meant to trump Chancellor George Osborne\u2019s reforms to stamp duty, announced late last year, which have delivered savings for 98 per cent of homebuyers. Mr Osborne\u2019s changes mean there is no stamp duty paid on the first \u00a3125,000 of a property purchase, 2 per cent between \u00a3125,000 and \u00a3250,000 and 5 per cent between \u00a3250,000 and \u00a3925,000. The changes are paid for by big hikes to duty on more expensive properties. Speaking in Stockton, Co Durham, Mr Miliband will warn of a housing crisis in which a severe lack of homes being built has priced millions out of the property market and left many who want to buy living in private rented accommodation. The rate of home ownership has slipped to its lowest for 30 years, and buy-to-let landlords and foreign investors are snapping up properties before others get a chance. Labour claims it will oversee the construction of a million homes by 2020 and introduce controversial \u2018use or lose it\u2019 powers ensuring developers build on land rather than hoarding it. Local authorities will be able to levy council tax on sites which remain undeveloped to try to force developers\u2019 hands. \u2018There\u2019s nothing more British than the dream of home ownership, starting out in a place of your own,\u2019 Mr Miliband will say. Mr Miliband will say Labour\u2019s reduction in the rate of stamp duty to zero would benefit nine in ten first-time buyers \u2013 saving them up to \u00a35,000 in tax . \u2018But for so many young people today that dream is fading with more people than ever renting when they want to buy, new properties being snapped up before local people get", "summary": "Labour\u2019s reduction in stamp duty would benefit nine in ten first-time buyers .

Football intelligence is something very few people are truly blessed with. Van Gaal was highlighting these two because of their superior football intelligence. The backdrop is a season at Old Trafford where Champions League football looks likely, but at the same time it is fair to say United have only been truly convincing in a few isolated games. Louis van Gaal has identified Michael Carrick (left) and Wayne Rooney as two of his most bright players . Van Gaal demands a level of 'football intelligence' from his players at Manchester United . United now have a eight-point cushion over Liverpool and are in good shape to make the Champions League . Van Gaal revealed why United have almost stumbled into the top four this season when he praised Carrick and Rooney. He basically said too many players at United aren\u2019t very bright. In fact they\u2019re pretty thick. Of course there are exceptions: Juan Mata is a cultured, classy individual on and off the pitch. Carrick and Rooney have football intelligence in abundance: hence Carrick slipping seamlessly in and out of the centre-half position mid-game at times this season, and Rooney slotting into whichever position Van Gaal asks him to occupy. The Dutchman can trust these players. Let me give you a couple of examples: last summer his first encounter with Luke Shaw was to set up a separate training regime for the teenager because he was so unfit. Shaw admitted his manager was right and accepted he need to step up his mentality at his new club. Spanish midfielder Juan Mata is another cultured, classy player in United's team .

It sailed over Marcos Rojo\u2019s head and the Argentina international had to chase back to retrieve it. It was a poor pass \u2013 that can happen. But choosing to make that pass in the first place was inexplicable. Van Gaal was clearly frustrated on the sidelines by this poor in-game management from a top player. Not very bright.

Mr Bradley said the Federal Government has committed to a National Feral Animal Summit this year that will focus on creating a plan to address the feral cat issue.

The Office of the Schools Adjudicator criticised the Oratory School in London for engaging in \u2018social selection\u2019, saying it had broken the rules in 105 different ways. The state-funded school in Fulham, West London, was ordered to revise its admissions policy last year after the watchdog decided it was biased against working-class and non-Catholic children. The Oratory School in London was cleared of discriminating against the poor and non-Catholic children . The watchdog accused the school of cherry-picking privileged white children using its strict faith-based entry requirements. But yesterday, this was overturned by a High Court judge who said this decision was \u2018flawed\u2019 and \u2018unreasonable\u2019. Mr Justice Cobb said: \u2018The adjudicator\u2019s conclusion that the governing body of the school had operated an admissions system which was socially selective, discriminatory, and unfairly disadvantageous to children from less well-off families was flawed and was reached by a process which was procedurally unfair to the school.\u2019 The original case followed a complaint by the British Humanist Association in the spring of 2013. The school, founded in 1863, has prioritised pupils based on whether they sing in the choir, arrange flowers in church, serve at the altar or assist in pastoral work. In its ruling, the watchdog said the school must not grant places \u2018on the basis of any practical or financial support parents may give to the school\u2019 - nor should children be favoured on the basis of their hobbies and activities. It said the ratio of children receiving free school meals - used as an indicator of poverty - was only 6-7 per cent compared with the local average of 25.1 per cent. Mr Clegg\u2019s eldest son Antonio, 12, attends, while Mr Blair sent his two eldest sons, Nicky and Euan, to the school with daughter Kathryn believed to have joined in the sixth form. The boys\u2019 school, which admits girls to the sixth form, also counts deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman among its alumni. A High Court Judge branded the decision by the watchdog 'flawed' It is one of the most popular in the country and is always oversubscribed. In a reserved judgment after a hearing last month Mr Justice Cobb ordered the adjudicator to think again after remitting the case to be heard by a fresh adjudicator. He said: \u2018I am satisfied that the adjudicator reaches this conclusion by a mix of flawed reasoning and unfair process. In the circumstances I am satisfied that this finding must be quashed.\u2019 He ordered the adjudicator to pay 80 per cent of the school\u2019s \u00a3155,000 costs with \u00a360,000 on account. Ane Vernon, solicitor for the school, said: \u2018The allegation that the school was socially selective and discriminating against less well-off families has been hurtful to staff, pupils and parents. \u2018This damaging allegation has been found by the judge to be wrong and unfair, and the finding vindicates the robust approach the school has had to take against the Office of the Schools", "summary": "The Oratory School was ordered to revise its admissions policy last year .

Now, researchers have shown that passive smoking affects plants too, which can take up nicotine from contaminated soil and plumes of smoke. The finding may explain why some spices, herbal teas and medicinal plants have high concentrations of nicotine in them, despite none being allowed in insecticides. Researchers have shown that passive smoking affects plants too, which can take up nicotine from contaminated soil and plumes of smoke (illustrated with a stock image) Nicotine was frequently used as an insecticide until it was banned by the European Union in 2009 because of its toxicity. But a surprisingly large number of food crops and plant-derived products still contain very high levels of nicotine. Dirk Selmar and his colleagues at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany, set out to uncover whether there are reasons for this beyond the use of illegal insecticides. They used peppermint plants, which contain minimal traces of nicotine, in a series of mulching and fumigation experiments. He said: \u2018Tremendously elevated nicotine levels were detected after fumigation with cigarette smoke.\u2019 The researchers showed for the that that peppermint plants (a stock image is shown) can take up high concentrations of nicotine from contaminated soils, as well as taking in the drug from smoke . Cats and dogs whose owners smoke are twice as likely to develop some types of cancer as those whose owners do not. Dogs that are exposed to tobacco smoke are much more likely to develop nose and lung cancers than dogs not exposed to smoke. Smaller pets and birds can also be affected as they are very sensitive to the effects of smoke. Previous research, by Tufts University, near Boston, US, also found that cats that live with smokers are twice as likely to develop Feline Lymphoma, a serious cancer of the blood and immune system. It is believed that when cats groom themselves they ingest contaminated dust, soot, ash and nicotine which was caught in their fur. They also showed for the first time that that peppermint plants can take up high concentrations of nicotine from contaminated soils. The team analysed plants in soil mulched with cigarette tobacco for more than nine days to find that the resulting nicotine concentrations in them were several times higher than the maximum residue level set by European authorities. The study, published in Springer\u2019s journal Agronomy for Sustainable Development, suggests that the reported high levels of this substance may indeed originate from tobacco. The researchers found a drastic decrease in nicotine concentration in plants as time progressed. This is likely because nicotine was taken up by the roots of the peppermint plants and processed in their leaves. \u2018Our results suggest that the widespread occurrence of nicotine in medicinal, spice and food plants may, at least in part, be due to other nicotine sources apart from the illegal use of insecticides,\u2019 Dr Selmar said.

And when we got to the room, we were met by a butler who immediately took away our shoes for shining - very impressive. You don't get that at a Travelodge! We had a beautiful suite on the 31st floor, giving us panoramic views of Central Park. We valued the fact that the suite had a separate lounge area, and it came in really handy because during our stay Sylvain's cousin in New York celebrated his 30th birthday, so lots of people came back to our room for a glass of bubbly.

+{"article": "It was a gruesome death that is the stuff of most people's nightmares. Now scientists have identified the unfortunate individual whose bones were found fused to the walls of a cave in Lamalunga, near Altamura, in southern Italy. Using analysis of DNA extracted from the bones sticking out from the limestone rock, researchers have found he was a Neanderthal who fell down a sinkhole around 150,000 years ago. Scroll down for video . Genetic analysis of the bones (above) of \u2018Altamura Man\u2019, found entombed in limestone in a cave in Altamura, Italy, has revealed that they belong to a Neanderthal who fell into the cave 128,000 to 187,000 years ago . Wedged in the narrow space and probably badly injured, he is thought to have starved to death. Over the thousands of years that followed, the body decayed and the remaining bones gradually became incorporated into the stalactites left behind by water dribbling down the cave walls. The DNA is the oldest to ever be extracted from a Neanderthal and the researchers now hope to further analyse the genetic information from the skeleton. They have a reputation as rather brutish creatures who chomped their way through huge hunks of meat, but it seems Neanderthals may actually have been the first masterchefs. New research is suggesting that these extinct early humans may have used wild herbs to flavour their food. Scientists have found traces of compounds found in camomile and yarrow in the hardened plaque of 50,000 year old Neanderthal teeth found in El Sidron, Spain. At first researchers thought they might have been using these plants as a form of self-medication, but now new findings have presented a different theory. Dr Sabrina Krief, a lecturer at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, and her colleagues suggests they may have used them to make food more palatable. First discovered in 1993, the skeleton - nicknamed 'Altamura Man' - has provoked debate among anthropologists partly due to the difficulties in studying the skeleton as it had become part of the cave walls. Examination of those bones that were exposed suggested they belonged to an adult male. However, few could agree on whether the skeleton belonged to a Neanderthal or a modern human, or how long it had been down there. But after taking a tiny part of the skeleton's shoulder bone, researchers at the Sapienza University of Rome, University of Firenze and Newcastle University have been able to answer the questions. They found mitochondrial DNA they extracted from the shoulder bone matched that of other Neanderthal skeletons. Uranium-thorium dating techniques has also revealed that the skeleton appeared there between 172,000 and 130,000 years ago, during a period when ice sheets were expanding significantly from out of Antarctica and Greenland. Giorgio Manzi, one of the palaeoanthropologists leading the study from the Sapienza University of Rome, said: 'Altamura Man is an incredible treasure for the Alta Murgia territory. 'We hope that this fossil skeleton will become a key for a virtuous combination of scientific research, protection of our heritage and its promotion and development.'", "summary": "Altamura Man was discovered in a cave in Lamalunga near Altamura, Italy .

Peter Thurston, 80, takes his vessel, dubbed the 'catamavan', out on the River Swale in Kent regularly and enjoys the views of the countryside. He says his small yachts were too cramped for leisure cruising, and he couldn't buy a bigger vessel, so two years ago he built the caravan boat to take his mind off his recent divorce. Bizarre: This 'catamavan', a cross between a boat and a caravan, has been spotted on the River Swale in Kent . The catamavan has an oven, fridge freezer, shower, toilet, double bed and two tables, and it is fitted with a small engine that reaches four knots. Hundreds of two-litre bottles fill the twin hulls, so the boat won't sink even if it gets a hole as he travels up and down the same stretch of river. Mr Thurston said: 'I wanted something that had a nice, stable platform and was really comfortable because all my boats are quite cramped. 'I've got a number of yachts and if you have ever been in a yacht you will know that you can never see out the window. Project: Peter Thurston started building the unusual vessel while he was doing through a divorce . 'In the Swale you get lovely nights and mornings but sometimes it's a bit cold to sit outside and have a meal so you eat below deck and don't get any views. 'I couldn't afford a cabin cruiser, the sort of thing you need to have big windows and eat outside, so this was a better alternative because I didn't have to spend so much money and I could make it whatever size I wanted. 'I sleep on it regularly during the summer but in the winter it's quite cold, although I do check on it regularly.' Peter says he spent around \u00a34,000 building the hull and added: 'Most of it was done flat pack at home. 'Then I took the catamaran down to the ship yard and we lifted the caravan onto it. 'It is not intended to go fast and it only has a small engine but it still goes about four knots. 'I also did it because when I was down at the harbour all day working on my boats it would give me somewhere to stay the night. 'You are allowed to anchor anywhere along the Swale unless it is a restricted area and there's nothing wrong in what I've done.' The father of four keeps the catamaran anchored in Conyer, Kent, which is 19 miles away from his home in Herne Bay. Mr Thurston said he started his project after the break-up of his marriage and began building the boat in his front garden before moving it to a local boatyard.

A double rapist ex-soldier who went undetected for 12 years after attacking a 16-year-old in a West End nightclub and raping a second woman at knifepoint has finally been jailed. Violent Solomon Khoorban, now 33, forced himself on the teenager in the VIP area at Equinox nightclub in Leicester Square - which has now been replaced by a casino - after punching her so hard in the face that she was knocked unconscious. He then ordered his terrified victim to wait in the VIP area for at least 30 minutes, threatening to kill her if she did not oblige. Princess Diana was among a host of famous faces who attended shows, events and after parties at the club before it closed down. Just two months later, in August 2003, the knife-wielding attacker raped a 32-year-old woman as she walked through Greenwich, south east London. The former gunner, who was 21 at the time, put her in a headlock, dragged her into the bushes and raped her twice. He also told her: 'B****** shouldn't be out at this time'. Both rapes were reported to police at the time but it took detectives more than a decade to track Khoorban down and link him to the sex attacks. The arrest came after the Met\u2019s Specialist Crime and Operations Command carried out a review of both investigations in September 2014. Detectives combed through a series of ID photos from the British Army before identifying Khoorban as a suspect. When he was arrested in November 2014, police linked his DNA to the attacks. He had not previously been on the DNA database because he had not been in trouble with police. Jailing him at Snaresbrooke Crown Court for 16 years, Judge Sheelagh Canavan said Khoorban was a 'violent sexual predator' who had ruined his victims' lives. She said: 'The damage you have caused these women and no doubt will continue to cause will last the rest of their lives. They are serving a life sentence. 'The younger girl was 16 with her whole life to look forward to and she is moving forward with this over her. 'The second victim has been traumatised by what you did to her. Nothing I can say or do will change that. 'You are a violent sexual predator, I have no doubt you were excited by your use of violence which was far beyond anything that was needed to achieve your purpose.' During the hearing, the court heard how Khoorban had raped his first victim during a night out when she was marking the end of her GCSEs. The soldier had asked his victim to go upstairs to talk and she agreed because her feet were hurting after dancing in high heels. The court heard how the subsequent attack was so violent that the teenager had to be rushed to hospital to be treated for her injuries.

The Star Tribune reports that the girl's family reported the kidnapping on Sunday and that they opposed to their daughter marrying Xiong, whom she was dating, because of their age differences. Alleged kidnapper: Kong Meng Xiong, 21, of St.Paul, Minnesota has been arrested after he allegedly tried to force his 15-year-old girlfriend to be his traditional Hmong bride . Xiong and his parents say they wanted the girl and Xiong to marry in the Hmong tradition. The girl, who has not been identified because she is a minor, told police that Xiong was her 'boyfriend' and that they got into a physical argument over the prospect of marriage on Saturday night. Xiong allegedly threw the girl's iPad against a wall at her family's home and then ripped her sweatpants as he dragged her into his car. Her parents were not home at the time. The girl told police that she managed to escape but that Xiong took hold of her a second time, forced her into his car, and took her to his family's home. When the girl's parents returned home from work at around noon on Sunday, they learned of the kidnapping from their oldest son. The girl's parents called Xiong's parents and demanded that they give them their daughter back. The girl's older brother later drove to the Xiong's home where they willingly let the girl go home. The girl told police that she and Xiong had been 'dating' in January and first had sex when she was just 14-years-old. The victim's father told police that Xiong asked him to marry his daughter on multiple occasions but that he said no because of their large age difference. Xiong admitted to kidnapping the girl and said that she tried to escape from him on Highway 26. This is not Xiong's first brush with the law. In 2009 Xiong was tried in juvenile court or sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl when he was 15. He pleaded guilty.

As Cook, Moores and their playing and management colleagues reconvened at Gatwick Airport on Thursday, the captain's first task was to field questions on a series of topics unlikely to go away any time soon. He made 79 in his last Test innings, part of a wide-margin and third successive victory at home to India last summer, and will be a record-breaker for the foreseeable future as England's most prolific centurion. It was Cook himself, however, who helpfully pointed out those facts will be irrelevant when he next walks out to open the innings for his country. Before and after that moment, he will be beset by the endless stream of enquiries - about his own poor form of the past two years, his and Moores' future, the remarks of outspoken new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves ... and, of course, Kevin Pietersen.

The speculation over whether Kevin Pietersen will return to the England fold will overshadow the tour .

He was found nine days later.

This, they alleged, contributed to the trust being in the bottom 25 of the Department of Health\u2019s mortality league tables and being compared to the scandal-hit Mid Staffs. They took their allegations to the GMC, the regulatory body for doctors, who investigated but concluded that there was no case to answer. But following complaints to the watchdog about its review, it is calling for an independent report. The GMC said the absence of such a report \u2018may amount to a material flaw in the investigation\u2019 that may have affected the decision. \u2018There are concerns that the evidence gathered in the initial investigation did not go far enough in relation to allegations surrounding patient safety,\u2019 it said. The GMC concluded that the review is \u2018necessary for the protection of the public\u2019. Dame Barbara, 57, a former GP, was criticised for the gagging of whistleblower Gary Walker (above), who tried to warn about the impact of targets, while she was in charge of East Midlands Strategic Health Authority . It added: \u2018The specific question here is whether Dr Hakin\u2019s fitness to practise could be called into question on the basis of her insistence that ULHT met the NHS targets no matter what. Further evidence from an external independent expert would have been useful to consider whether Dr Hakin\u2019s actions were reasonable in all of the circumstances.\u2019 Dame Barbara, who earns around \u00a3205,000 in her current role and was referred to as the most powerful woman in the NHS by the Health Service Journal, said the original allegations were \u2018spurious and vexatious\u2019. She alleged they stemmed from the \u2018failure\u2019 of the ULHT", "summary": "Dame Barbara Hakin, 57, facing threat of a new inquiry over patient safety .

The gun that officers thought was real had an orange tip indicating that it was fake. Another attorney John W. Harris who is representing Nicholson and his friend 17-year-old Jason Huerta is arguing that Nicholson and his friend posed no threat to police officers or themselves. 'The LAPD shot first and then asked questions later,' Harris said. The LAPD says that at 7.45am on February 10, officers saw a teen holding what appeared to be a gun and they claim they told him to drop it.

But Jodie Barden has the heartbreaking task of arranging both her daughters' funerals, knowing that neither will make adulthood because of an incredibly rare illness. Mrs Barden, 28, is mother to eight-year-old Ella and one-year-old Chloe, who both suffer from Cockayne Syndrome and have a life expectancy of just 12. Cockayne Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, which is characterised by a failure to gain weight, premature ageing, an underdeveloped nervous system and a small head. Scroll down for video . Jodie Barden, 28, has been forced to plan her daughters Ella, eight (left) and Chloe, one (right)'s funerals as they have rare genetic disorder Cockayne Syndrome which gives them a life expectancy of just 12 . In 2013, Mrs Barden shaved her head in order to raise money for a Cockayne Syndrome charity. She is pictured here with daughter Ella, who ages prematurely due to the syndrome . Sufferers usually don't live to see their teenage years and usually die from pneumonia. Given her children's prognosis, Mrs Barden has already made arrangements for both daughters' funerals with her husband, Luke, who is also 28. The former graphic designer, who is now the girls' full-time carer, said: 'There's no cure for what they have and there's not much the doctors can say, so we just try and keep them comfortable while they're with us.

Other patients only start to show symptoms in early childhood and their life expectancy tends to be under 20 years. However, some rare CS patients live significantly longer. Individuals with CS are extremely sensitive to the sunlight and sunburn easily so they mostly stay indoors during normal daylight hours. CS is often described as a 'progeria-like syndrome'.

A first-of-its-kind robotic vehicle recently dove to depths never before visited under Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf and brought back video of life on the seafloor. 'We built a vehicle that's a hybrid between the really small probes and the ocean-going vessels, and we can deploy it through bore holes on Antarctica,' said Britney Schmidt, an assistant professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Tech, and the principle investigator for the Icefin project. The technologies developed for Icefin will also help in the search for life on other planets, namely Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Antarctica's icy oceans are remarkably similar to Europa'sice-capped oceans. 'At the same time, we're advancing hypotheses that we need for Europa and understanding ocean systems here better. 'We're also developing and getting comfortable with technologies that make polar science -- and eventually Europa science - more realistic.' The robotic vehicle carried a scientific payload capable of measuring ocean conditions under the ice. Icefin's readings of the environment under Antarctica's ice shelves, and video of the life that thrives in these harsh conditions, will help understand how Antarctica's ice shelves are changing under warming conditions, and to understand how organisms thrive in cold and light-free environments.

The hole was at a point in the plane where weather radars are housed, but the plane landed safely in Denver and no one was injured. It is unknown how many people were on board. A plane was struck by lightning shortly after takeoff during a flight from Reykjavik, Iceland, to Denver, Colorado on Tuesday . It wasn't until after landing that the passengers and crew found out the lightning strike caused a gaping hole at the nose of the plane . Passenger Kyle Hernandez, a member of the band The Bunny Gang, said that the lightning 'shook the plane and it was bright'. 'Everybody kind of got tense and we all jumped and looked at each other,' Hernandez told FOX31. His bandmate Nathen Maxwell told the Denver Post that it sounded like a 'bang and a pop'.

The accused murderer continued to drive on the car's rims until the chase came to an end, after he had crossed the Queensland border. Tostee admitted to police he was intoxicated and his vehicle was unregistered. The incident was two weeks before Wright fell to her death from the balcony of Tostee's 14th storey apartment in August last year. Police will allege Ms Wright fell after a struggle between the pair.

Philip Crick, Tostee's solicitor, told the court his client's medical condition was exacerbated as he was required to share a cell during his time in protective custody. During his appeal, prosecutor Kate Brady told the court Tostee had an 'alcohol issue' and that the crime fit the 10 month sentence he was given.

Yarde excelled in Saturday's roller-coaster Aviva Premiership victory over Gloucester, scoring the crucial try in the 70th minute at The Stoop. The 22-year-old wing won the last of his seven caps as a replacement last autumn, but was overlooked by England throughout the RBS 6 Nations. Harlequins winger Charlie Walker crosses for his side's first try at the Stoop . \u2018We\u2019ve had a difficult year, but anyone who has watched him will know he\u2019s been absolutely outstanding. When we get back to winning he will get recognition again,\u2019 O'Shea said. Quins spent most of an uninspiring mid-table clash feeding off scraps due to the overwhelming superiority of the visiting scrum, only to produce the key drive in the 70th minute that was finished by Marland Yarde. As half time drew close, referee Luke Pearce had finally lost patience with Harlequins set-piece frailty and pointed the finger at Joe Marler by sending the club captain to the sin-bin. Gloucester only entered the interval 13-11 ahead - a poor return given their ascendency - and then moved 18-11 clear through a Charlie Sharples try with half an hour remaining to suggest their eighth win of the season was imminent. Quins centre Aseli Tikoirotuma puts in a strong fend on Gloucester lock James Hudson . The kicking of Nick Evans kept Quins in touch - the Kiwi fly-half finished with 14 points - before an eventful final quarter produced a flurry of yellow cards and three tries. Yarde seized the initiative for the London club and full-back Ollie Lindsay-Hague appeared to have sealed the victory, only for Dan Robson's try with a minute left to give Gloucester a faint glimmer of hope until they aimlessly kicked the ball away in the last act of the game. The opening 10 minutes were dominated by Gloucester's scrum, yet it was Quins who opened the scoring when outside centre Asaeli Tikoirotuma jinked into space before sending Charlie Walker over. Walker's try was the result of a clinical counter attack, but the 2012 Premiership champions were immediately back under pressure once play resumed with their set-piece targeted once more, conceding a penalty that Greig Laidlaw sent between the uprights. Gloucester No 8 Gareth Evans is hit hard by Quins flanker Jack Clifford . Laidlaw and Evans exchanged penalties and just as Quins began to attack with greater frequency, yet another retreating scrum gave Gloucester the platform to race into a 31st minute lead. Hook broke the gainline with a large dummy - his second of the afternoon - and found Bill Meakes in support, with the outside centre showing strength to force his way over from 10 yards out. Gloucester's set-piece dominance was rewarded when Pearce sent Marler to the sin bin, but they were unable to turn a push late in the first half into points. A big step and outside-break from full-back Lindsay-Hague created a half-chance for Yarde moments after the interval, but the", "summary": "Gloucester led 13-11 at half-time thanks to a Billy Meakes try .

Maria Malone-Guerbaa, 41, from London, used nothing but paints to turn herself into an uncanny painting of a grey rabbit with blue eyes, wearing a red bow tie. The mother-of-two said she didn't use any prosthetics or special effects to achieve the amazing result. Scroll down for video . Make-up artist Maria Malone-Guerbaa (left) just used paints to transform herself into a bunny . The final result took three hours to achieve after Maria simply googled pictures of bunnies, picking one she liked best and replicating the image on her face. She used her own brushes and kryolan paint, special dense, long-lasting make-up used by professionals working with stage actors. Maria began her project by painting a white base layer to create the shape of the rabbit's face and ears, adding the animal's eyes (below her own) and nose and mouth (over her own). The sides of her face and forehead was then painted with black paint, to form the bunny's entire head. With grey paint, black dots stippled over the top and finally details like whiskers, and the bow tie that is drawn from Maria's neck up to her chin, the look was complete. Maria explained her inspiration for her rabbit scheme: 'My last couple of projects have been animal-themed so, with Easter coming up, it had to be a rabbit this time around. 'It takes me about three hours in total and I'll stop every 20 minutes or so to take a picture of my progress. 'I just went on my iPhone and searched for rabbits on Google Images. You get so many then that you can just form your own picture.' The final result has earned thousands of likes on Instagram, along with her other posts showing how she transformed her face into Jack Nicholson from The Shining, Stevie Wonder, a cougar and Freddie Mercury. Maria used only her brushes and professional kryolan paints to create bunny ears, bright eyes and a nose . She captioned the picture: 'I've got #hare in my face!' She said: 'It's amazing to see other people enjoying my work. I can't quite put into words how flattering it is and it makes the whole thing worthwhile. 'One lady even got in touch who'd been inspired to try it out herself. That was the pinnacle for me: it was so humbling to think that my work had inspired someone else to do the same thing.'

Since Barbie's style Instagram account launched last August, swarms of fashion lovers have become fans of her 'official style feed', watching as the Mattel icon models an impressive collection of Barbie clothes that even includes pieces by top designers. Racked recently got the behind-the-scenes scoop on all the outfit changes, international trips, and VIP invites that go into producing the doll's hugely popular page. Pretty popular: Barbie's style-centric Instagram account, @BarbieStyle, is painstakingly planned - and now has three quarters of a million followers . Wow-worthy wardrobe: Barbie has 'thousands' of pieces, most of which are one-of-a-kind and made especially for her Instagram account by the brand's director of design . The idea for Barbie's fashion-focused Instagram page came to be when Barbie's vice president of design, Kim Culmone, realized that in addition to the official @Barbie account - which promotes the brand's products - the doll could also be presented in a more editorial way, taking inspiration from fashion magazines. The page for @BarbieStyle, she told Racked, tells the story of Barbie's role in pop culture today as a 'contemporary girl with an aspirational lifestyle'. Unlike the main Barbie account that targets children and parents, @BarbieStyle aims to attract trendy twentysomethings - so instead of mermaid and princess costumes, followers get fashion-forward outfits 'firmly rooted in reality'. Along with Barbie director of design Robert Best and Zlatan Zukanovic, the account's creative and photography lead, Ms. Culmone soon grew @BarbieStyle to have even more fans than the original @Barbie page, which has 434,000 followers. Chic at Coachella: Barbie travels to buzzed-about events like Coachella, pictured here, with friends, Ken, and sometimes even her dog . Fashion week regular: The @BarbieStyle account captioned this photo in front of the London Eye: 'Just landed in London...the best way to cure jet lag? Hit the city for the sights and fresh air!' Total jetsetter: The account's creators really pose Barbie in front of famous landmarks - not pictures or green screens - including Notre-Dame, left, and La Belle Epoque restaurant, right, in Paris .

The Gunners head into the tie on the back of a superb run of form, which has seen them win 16 from 18 matches in all competitions and up into second place in the Barclays Premier League. The atmosphere around the club is certainly a world way from the tense finale to the 2013/14 campaign, when Arsenal were under extreme pressure in the quest to finally end a near decade wait for silverware as well as finish in the top four of the Barclays Premier League once again, not to mention the uncertainty around the future of manager Arsene Wenger.

'It is a good warning to all of us. You need to be focused 100 per cent Reading, so it is going to be a tough one for us,' said the German, who will again lead the team out at Wembley with captain Mikel Arteta still not fit. We suffered a bit last season on that occasion with that pressure, but it was a great experience and hopefully we can manage that a bit better. 'We are on a good level of confidence, but there will be pressure on us because we are super favourites and can we handle that during the game?' Mertesacker added: 'It is going to be Reading's biggest game of the season, so to mentally prepare for that is going to be difficult, not just to match their physicality and mental strength, but to do more, to be on the ball from the start, to show them respect, but no fear for the pressure.

Half a million first time buyers will be helped onto the housing ladder every year by 2020, George Osborne pledged today.

SNP colleagues reveal that within the party, Murrell is affectionately nicknamed Penfold, after Danger Mouse's loyal hamster sidekick in the 1980s cartoon series. Meek, myopic and chubby, Penfold dutifully shouts 'Coming chief', whenever his superior summons him in the cartoons. Some say the similarity extends further. Sturgeon doesn't drive and her husband frequently acts as chauffeur. He also carries out the lion's share of the domestic chores. When Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid remarked on the immaculate condition of the couple's detached house last month, Sturgeon, 44, said: 'That's because I had my husband up most of last night cleaning.' Scotland's most powerful politician also leaves the cooking to her spouse, stating: 'I don't cook. I have had lots of disasters and now I prefer not to try, but Peter is a good cook and enjoys it.' However, anyone assuming that Murrell's only role is that of dutiful house-husband would be sorely mistaken.

Light sentence: Mark West, 32, will serve four months prison and eight years probation for having sex with a student in 2012 . Mark Steven West, 32, who is married with a child, was sentenced Tuesday to four months in jail followed by eight years probation after pleading guilty to the improper relationship while working at Spring High School in Spring, Texas. He had previously said the girl instigated the moment, seducing him by saying she was 'feeling horny'. The girl admitted as such to police also, telling them she encouraged West to have sex. But despite the light punishment, the judge was scathing in handing down her punishment, saying that just three weeks after the incident the girl graduated, which would have made their encounter legal. 'You did it because you enjoyed the attention of young girls,' State District Judge Catherine Evans said, according to The Chron. 'We're talking about a razor thin margin of three weeks between what separates a felony crime from a poor decision to have an inappropriate extramarital affair.' State law prohibits educators having sex with students. West apologized to the court, saying he made 'bad decisions made on impulses' and was being 'selfish'. School officials were first tipped off to the allegations after hearing rumors and seeing inappropriate interactions between West and certain students at the school on separate occasions, according to court documents. He tickled one girl, lifted up another, and was accused of making inappropriate comments to two others. West was interviewed by a senior staff member at Spring High School in Texas in December 2012 after administrators heard that he made a sexual remark about one female student and possibly had sex with another. He was also investigated in the 2011-2012 school year for inappropriately touching a female student on her lower back. No charges were filed due to lack of evidence but he was ordered not to have any contact with female students. One staff member said she was extremely uncomfortable by the number of lengthy 'closed door meetings' West was having with female students. The staff member said she observed students leaving his office, smiling and laughing, with their clothes and hair disheveled. Scene: West has resigned from his post as assistant principal at Spring High School, Texas, after the incident became public. He eventually pleaded guilty and no longer works as a teacher . She also saw West 'body slam' a female student, in a playful manner, on a couch in the lobby office. Students told investigators about rumors that West had sex with a student at the 2012 Project Prom event. The woman, who is now at college, told investigators she seduced West.

Italian quartet Mirco Antenucci, Giuseppe Bellusci, Dario del Fabro and Marco Silvestri, Frenchman Souleymane Doukara and Albanian Edgar Cani all told beleaguered head coach Neil Redfearn they were injured and could not travel to London. Redfearn, speaking after his side lost 2-1 at The Valley, described it as a 'freakish' set of events. According to the manager, Silvestri had been rested since sustaining a knock but had been expected to recover, while Antenucci and Canu declared themselves unfit after training on Thursday with the rest pulling out following a 'light' session on Friday. Neil Redfearn had a depleted squad to pick from when six Leeds United players pulled out at late notice . Mirco Antenucci was among the six players to withdraw from the squad ahead of the defeat by Charlton . But Cherry was unimpressed and wants the players out of Elland Road. 'I would sack them and take the PFA (Professional Footballers' Association) on,' he said on BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek. 'I don't think players can do that, it's scandalous and it's just another story for Leeds United that is disgraceful. He added: 'I don't know exactly the players and it might be one or two of them have got a good excuse, but it sounds too stupid to be true.' Striker Antenucci used Twitter to defend himself, as did goalkeeper Silvestri who posted a picture of a cut on his back suffered against Norwich on Tuesday night. However, Cherry questioned if they were legitimate reasons to withdraw. 'In the old days you used to play with anything, cuts or one thing or another,' he said. 'The managers had a big say in whether you were fit or not. You didn't just come in and say 'I've got a headache, I'm going home'. I'm sure with George Graham or Don Revie, I can't imagine what would have happened if you'd have done that.' Giuseppe Bellusci, Antenucci and two other Italians were among those who made themselves unavailable . The withdrawals are just the latest incident in another turbulent period at Leeds.

+{"article": "Holy smokes! Researchers found the bombardier beetle (pictured) mimics a machine gun by mixing chemicals in an internal 'reaction chamber' A beetle with a machine gun built into its rear end sounds like something from a comic or sci-fi film - or the stuff of nightmares. But researchers have discovered the Bombardier beetle mimics this powerful weapon by mixing chemicals in an internal 'reaction chamber' in its stomach. When threatened, the diminutive bug can then repeatedly fire streams of foul-smelling liquid from its rear, complete with 'gun smoke'. It can even precisely aim the nozzle at the attacker. This behaviour has been caught on camera by Wendy Moore and her colleagues at the University of Arizona. Many beetles secrete foul-smelling or bad-tasting chemicals from their abdomens to ward off predators, but bombardier beetles take it a step further. When threatened, they combine chemicals in an explosive chamber in their abdomen to simultaneously heat and propel their defensive load as a boiling hot spray. Assistant Professor Moore, from the Department of Entomology at the university, has published a paper along with her team that not only reveals the beetle's firing apparatus in never-before-seen detail, but also solves a long-standing mystery of how the animals achieve their incredible rapid-fire capabilities. 'Understanding how these beetles produce - and survive - repetitive explosions could provide new design principles for technologies such as blast mitigation and propulsion,' she said. The study was led by doctoral student Eric Arndt and Christine Ortiz in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge. Arndt and Ortiz teamed up with Professor Moore to study the anatomy of the beetle's reaction chamber, which is constructed of cuticle, a composite of chitin, proteins and waxes. The material, which also makes up the exoskeleton of insects, protects the beetle from the toxic chemicals, high temperatures and high pressures during explosions. A real hot shot! The research, including video footage (shown above) not only reveals the beetle's firing apparatus in never-before-seen detail, but also solves a long-standing mystery of how the bugs achieve their rapid-fire capabilities . The mechanism of the bombardier beetle's spray pulsation had not been understood because previous studies, relying on external observations, could not probe exactly what happens inside the reaction chamber of the chemical gun. African bombardier beetles can accurately hit targets in any direction. Researchers at Cornell University snapped another type of Bombardier beetle, Stenaptinus insignis' attack in 1999, to reveal they use the explosive defensive mechanism to buy time when they are under attack. The beetle is quite vulnerable on the ground because unlike most insects such as bees and flies, it can't take off instantly. This means that the slow process of unfurling its wings could cost the insect its life if under attack from ants, for example. So it attacks its attackers in turn, giving it time to get airborne. The spray itself contains p-benzoquinones - compounds known for their irritant properties. The chemicals are stored separately in the creature's abdomen and then combine explosively, explaining why they are", "summary": "Bombardier beetle mimics machine gun using chemicals in its stomach .

Peter Sartain, who delivered the homily at a packed funeral Mass at Chicago's Holy Name Cathedral. 'The cardinal's faith was simple, direct, without pretense or embarrassment,' Sartain said.

Blame game: But Mr Clegg has said none of them were to do with his policy making decisions . He was asked in an interview with the Economist magazine why Lib Dem support had 'collapsed' in the last five years. He blamed protest voters who supported the party but deserted it after it entered coalition because they didn't want to take any 'responsibility'. He also blamed the fact the Lib Dems had entered into coalition with one of the major parties.

A teenage rapper has been jailed after punching his heavily pregnant 16-year-old girlfriend in the stomach causing her to lose their unborn baby. Dusan Bako, 18, flew into a rage after he tried to call the teenager's phone only to discover it was switched off. During a confrontation near a park in Oldham, Greater Manchester, Bako put his arm around the back of the girl's neck and with the other clenched his fist and repeatedly punched the victim in the stomach. One horrified witness who saw the attack said Bako hit the girl 'like a boxer' before she was taken to hospital where she later miscarried their child. Bako, from Oldham, was initially charged with child destruction but ahead of his trial, pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent after a plea bargaining deal. Prosecutors at Manchester Crown Court said Bako had a 'flashpoint of rage' and punched her in the stomach knowing she was pregnant. The court heard the girl who cannot be named told how being with Bako was \u2018like being tortured' and in the run up to the attack in August last year she was living in fear of him and his demands that he wanted the baby 'for his family.' Mark Kellet prosecuting said: 'They had met on Facebook and started dating. She describes that they were very much in love, and the pregnancy was planned because they were so in love. 'She moved in with Dusan and his parents and there was, she says, significant animosity between their respective parents. While living with Dusan, she missed her parents and this caused friction within the relationship and she deiced to return home. 'In the arguments that followed she describes the defendant as physically and verbally abusive and she turned-off her phone because she says the defendant had made threats towards her. He sent a text message to her father asking him to tell her to turn-on her telephone, which she did. 'He then asked her to come outside and speak to him.

+{"article": "Jack Nicklaus recorded his first ever hole-in-one at the Masters on Wednesday, as Camilo Villegas fired two in the space of five holes but still could not win the traditional par-three contest. Villegas holed out on the fourth and eighth as he finished alongside Kevin Streelman on five under par, only to find water on the eighth when he played it again as the third play-off hole. Kevin Streelman holds his trophy aloft after winning the Par-3 Contest on a play-off against Camilo Villegas . Streelman therefore became the latest player to be saddled with the 'curse' of the par-three champion, with no player ever becoming par-three and Masters champion in the same year. However, that was placed firmly into perspective thanks to his 11-year-old caddie Ethan Couch, who has a benign but inoperable brain tumour. Streelman found Couch via the Make-a-Wish Foundation and invited him to be his caddie in the light-hearted curtain-raiser. Augusta National's par-three course traditionally hosts the contest the day before start of the major . 'It was a really fun day, especially to have Ethan with me here,' Streelman said. 'This isn't about me today. It's about helping him out and showing him a great day.' Villegas said: 'I've made a few hole-in-ones, but it's pretty special to make them here. The second one, we were a little more emotional there. We just kind of jumped.' Nicklaus had earlier holed out with an eight iron from 123 yards on the fourth, his ball landing around 15 feet past the pin and spinning back into the hole. Woods played in the Masters par-three contest at Augusta National for the first time in 11 years . That took the 75-year-old six-time champion to three under par, but he would bogey the fifth and hit two balls into the water on the ninth to end his hopes of an unlikely triumph. Former US Open champion Curtis Strange reminded Nicklaus of the tradition that players who make a hole-in-one have to buy the drinks in the clubhouse when Nicklaus walked past the ESPN commentary position. 'Send me a bill,' Nicklaus replied. The Masters official Twitter account shared an image of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods with Niall Horan . The 18-time major winner added on ESPN: 'I never had a hole in one at Augusta, in the par three (contest) or on the golf course. Doing an interview this morning I said all I have to do is go out there, make a hole-in-one and win the par three. I had it three under and then choked.' Since the contest started in 1960, nobody has ever become par-three and Masters champion in the same week, a fact which sometimes sees players deliberately not shoot the best score possible. Most treat it as light relief and invite family or friends to act as their caddies, including Tiger Woods this year for the first time since 2004.

The traffickers were caught during a joint operation by the Guinea Ministry of Environment, the Gendarmerie and the Guin\u00e9e-Application de la Loi Faunique (GALF) project. Charlotte Houpline, director of French wildlife protection group WARA, said many traffickers have already been arrested and sentenced in Guinea sine they launched the project. She said: 'Slowly the change that is needed is happening. We have been supporting the Government of Guinea for four years now to strengthen law enforcement. Facilitating the arrest and conviction of wildlife traffickers is the main part of our work. 'And we want to target mainly the major traffickers to tackle head-on its major obstacle - corruption.'

The traffickers, who kept the three-year-old alive with food (pictured) had been trying to find a buyer for her . A spokeswoman for Eco Activists for Governance and Law Enforcement, said: 'The three-year old female who was saved last Saturday was the lucky one.

'But even more probably she might not even survive, as the estimations are that for one young ape, smuggled out of Africa, 10 others die on the way, as the traffickers are not able to provide them with proper care. 'Other horrific numbers are unknown - the babies, which are detected and in best case seized, like this our one, present only a minority of all poached and sold ape babies. 'By easy calculation, we can estimate the number of chimpanzees lost only in Guinea during last years to reach tens of thousands. The illegal animal traders had kept the terrified three-year-old chimpanzee in the box for two weeks . 'And hundreds of thousands in the all sub-Saharan Africa. This crime will drive the chimpanzees in wild to the extinction within few decades, if it is not stopped. 'Little apes are like human children. To survive, they need not only food, they need love and care. Trauma, which they experience when they see their mother and their family being killed, is not easy to forget.

Some patients are even being given hangover tablets and Yakult yogurt drinks. Critics said it was \u2018ludicrous\u2019 that such items were being handed out when the NHS was rationing routine treatments. It has prompted concern that patients are abusing the system by demanding prescriptions for household essentials which are cheaply available at their local chemist. The figures came on the day that Britain was ranked only 27th in the world for health and wellness \u2013 below Slovenia, Spain and Portugal \u2013 and 111th out of 133 countries for obesity. In 2014, the NHS handed out 404,500 prescriptions for suncream at a cost of \u00a313million. Another 4.7million prescriptions for indigestion pills cost \u00a329million, while 1.4million were written out for multi-vitamins, at \u00a34.2million. Other bathroom cabinet items routinely being prescribed by GPs include Calpol, Vaseline, Strepsils and toothpaste, according to the Health and Social Care Information Centre. Roger Goss of Patient Concern said: \u2018This is ludicrous. Every week we hear of patients being denied another cancer treatment or refused cataracts while others are being prescribed toothpaste. Whoever is prescribing this or authorising it must have completely lost their mind.\u2019 Doctors admit that some patients abuse the system and arrive at surgeries with shopping lists of toiletries and remedies. But their contract states they must prescribe any medication they think is \u2018necessary\u2019, meaning patients can claim that most remedies are needed even if they are cheaply available from a chemist. The NHS is facing a huge black hole in its finances, with chief executive Simon Stevens predicting that by 2020/21, there will be a gap of at least \u00a38billion in its annual budget. Only last month it stopped providing funding for 19 life-extending cancer treatments because there was not enough money to pay for all the patients who needed them. The NHS has also been forced to ration many routine treatments which are considered to be non-urgent, such as hip and knee replacements and cataract operations. Dr Anita Sharma, a senior GP in Oldham, Greater Manchester, said patients come into her surgery every week wanting prescriptions for head lice shampoo, which can be bought for \u00a35 from the chemist. \u2018We need to take a different approach to prescribing,\u2019 she said. \u2018Primary care must focus on ensuring the use of the right medicine, for the right patient and at the right dose. \u2018This does not mean a script for every ill.

She already has 13 children and is due to retire this year \u2013 so you\u2019d think babies would be the last thing on her mind. But Annegret Raunigk is set to become the oldest woman in the world to have quadruplets \u2013 at the age of 65. The German primary school teacher will give birth in a matter of weeks to four babies, conceived following 18 months of fertility treatment.

But unlikely as it may seem, Niamh Geaney, 26, and Karen Branigan, 29, aren't the only pair to have found their real-life doppelg\u00e4ngers, either by mistake or after a social media hunt. Now three similar British cases have been revealed; a London-based journalist who found hers in Birmingham, two male university students, also in London, and two retired men in Essex. Scroll down for video . What are the odds? Just last month, retired priest Neil Richardson, 69, (right) moved to Braintree in Essex to be confronted with his doppelg\u00e4nger, former head teacher John Jemison, 74, (left) Uncanny: Niamh Geaney, a 26-year-old TV presenter from Dublin (left), found her 'twin stranger' last week in Karen Branigan (right), through a social media campaign she launched with friends . Just last month, retired priest Neil Richardson, 69, moved to Braintree and was surprised to greeted with waves and 'hello John' greetings wherever he went. 'John' turned out to be John Jemison, a 74-year-old former head teacher who was well-known to the town, and just so happened to look exactly like Mr Richardson. Upon meeting, the pair, who are both grandfathers-of-four now living just 150 yards apart, also realised that as well as being doppelg\u00e4ngers, they had an awful lot in common. Both had attended the same college, and both became RE teachers and choir singers. The pair finally came face-to-face in March when they coincidentally both boarded the same coach for a Friends of Braintree Museum visit to the Magna Carta exhibition at the British Library. 'It was quite spooky,' said Mr Jemison, adding that they 'hit it off immediately' and are now friends. 'My only worry is the number of people who probably think I've been ignoring them when they've been saying \"Hello John\" to Neil all this time.' Upon meeting, Mr Richardson (left) and Mr Jemison (right), who are both grandfathers-of-four now living just 150 yards apart, also realised they had a lot in common in terms of their life stories . Mr Richardson married his wife in 1968 (left) while Mr Jemison also married wife Jenny in the sixties (right) In 2011, Devon-born journalist Sophie Robehmed became fascinated by the idea that there might be someone out there in the world who looked exactly like her. In fact, she was the inspiration behind Miss Geaney's ultimately successful social media search. In much the same way, Ms Robehmed launched her mission to find her doppelg\u00e4nger by publicising it on Facebook, YouTube, and through blogs around the world. And just like Miss Geaney, it turned out that Ms Robehmed didn't need to look that far. Her closest match turned out to be Birmingham native Lauren Hatcher, who worked in the film industry and shared a mutual friend.

German detectives have been \u2018closely monitoring developments\u2019 in the \u00a360 million London case and are expected to make contact with Scotland Yard this week. In particular, they are keen to find out whether any DNA was recovered from the scene of the Easter weekend raid and, crucially, whether it matches forensic samples found in a tunnel used in a \u00a38.3 million robbery at the Volksbank in Steglitz, Berlin, in January 2013. The culprits behind the Hatton Garden raid (pictured) may have carried out a similarly audacious burglary just two years earlier in Berlin, it has emerged . In a case which has strikingly similar traits to the \u00a360m heist in London, thieves targeted 294 security vaults during a break-in at the Volksbank in Steglitz, Berlin, in January 2013 . There has been speculation that the London robbers \u2013 who stole jewels and cash from 72 boxes at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit centre \u2013 are from Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, it is believed the Volksbank raiders, who have never been caught, are Polish. One of the five-man gang left a book at the crime scene \u2013 a Polish translation of American Desperado, the autobiography of drug smuggler Jon Roberts. And wooden boards used for their 100ft tunnel were bought in Poland. Thomas Neuendorf, of Berlin Police, told The Mail on Sunday: \u2018We are very interested in the case in England and I\u2019m sure our investigators will get in touch\u2026 If DNA matching our samples is put into the Interpol database by Scotland Yard we will be immediately notified.\u2019 Suspects caught on CCTV during the London heist were also dressed as construction workers - a tactic used in the Berlin raid . In a similar fashion to the German heist, the burglars timed their raid over the Easter bank holiday, entering after the premises emptied on Thursday night and leaving on Easter Sunday . In the German case, the gang spent almost a year building their tunnel before drilling through the bank\u2019s 3ft-thick concrete walls. In London, the robbers used heavy-duty drills to bore holes into a reinforced 7ft-thick wall. In both cases, police are investigating the possibility of an insider helping the thieves. Scotland Yard declined to comment last night. Value of items taken, including jewels, said to be between \u00a360m and \u00a3200m. Raid took place over three-day Easter weekend when workers had left building. 71 safety deposit boxes raided. Burglars used heavy duty drill to bore holes into a reinforced, two-metre-thick wall so they could gain access to boxes. Thieves dressed as workmen and gasmen. Police criticised after alarm ignored on Good Friday. Value of items taken, including diamonds, gold and silver, said to be \u00a38.3m.

She pushed the trolley up the escalator to do her shopping before realising the slithering brown tree snake had curled itself in the corner and was hitching a ride to the store.

'When I arrived, it wasn't causing any trouble, especially when I untangled it from the trolley.' As the weather begins to drop to cooler temperatures in Queensland, Mr Gilbert said brown tree snakes are nocturnal so they try to hide in warm areas.

+{"article": "A previously unknown seasonal change on the sun is occurring every two years, according to a new study. Researchers have found that twisted bands of magnetic fuel reach the surface of the sun every two years - in addition to its existing 11-year cycle. And when the seasons combine, the activity of the sun can be amplified, producing mega storms that are even more dangerous to Earth than others. Scientists in Colorado have found evidence for a new solar season cycle. Every two years it appears 'bands' of magnetic field move to the surface. This combines with the existing 11-year solar cycle, causing even more powerful coronal mass ejections (CMEs), pictured, and solar flares that can endanger Earth . The study was carried out by a team of researchers led by the National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Colorado. They found that the changes seem to be driven by bands of strong magnetic fields in the sun's hemispheres which emanate from the solar interior. It was already known that the sun goes through a solar cycle of 11 years, during which its activity increases and decreases. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can damage satellites and have an enormous financial cost. The charged particles can also threaten airlines by disturbing the Earth's magnetic field. Very large flares can even create currents within electricity grids and knock out energy supplies. A positive aspect, from an aesthetic point of view, is that the auroras are enhanced. Geomagnetic storms are more disruptive now than in the past because of our greater dependence on technical systems that can be affected by electric currents. But this shorter two-year season seems to also play a part in the sun's activity, on a similar scale to the 11-year cycle - despite being much quicker. The new solar season occurs when twisted, ring-shaped 'bands' of magnetic field rise from the solar interior and pass to the surface through the tachocline - a 'transition' region in the outer third of the sun. 'Much like Earth's jet stream, whose warps and waves have had severe impact on our regional weather patterns in the past couple of winters, the bands on the sun have very slow-moving waves that can expand and warp it too,' said co-author Dr Robert Leamon, a scientist at Montana State University. 'Sometimes this results in magnetic fields leaking from one band to the other. 'In other cases, the warp drags magnetic fields from deep in the solar interior, near the tachocline, and pushes them toward the surface.' The result of this motion is that the bands create turbulent regions of activity on the surface, causing solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). CMEs are the huge waves of material that are seen in images of the sun, and they can pose a threat to satellites in Earth orbit. Solar flares are flashes of energy on the surface of the sun, which are sometimes associated with CMEs - although their connection is not well understood.

And it could date back to early human evolution in Africa, where spiders with very strong venom have existed millions of years ago. Scroll down for video . Researchers say a fear of spiders is a survival trait written into our DNA and dates back thousands of years, Stock photo . Study leader Joshua New, of Columbia University in New York, said: \u2018A number of spider species with potent, vertebratespecific venoms populated Africa long before hominoids and have co-existed there for tens of millions of years. \u2018Humans were at perennial, unpredictable and significant risk of encountering highly venomous spiders in their ancestral environments. \u2018Even when not fatal, a black widow spider bite in the ancestral world could leave one incapacitated for days or even weeks, terribly exposed to dangers,\u2019 he told the Sunday Times.

Their reactions to images of spiders were very fast, even if their shape was distorted, when compared to much more clear images of other objects known induce disgust or fear, such as needles and flies. The researchers point out that spiders are often small dark creatures that tend to hide in recesses and are hard to spot. Dr New said: \u2018Detection, therefore, is the critical arbiter of success in such encounters \u2014 any improvements to the sensitivity, vigilance, reliability and speed of faculties for their detection would have been of significant selective advantage.\u2019 The instinct could date back to early human evolution in Africa, where spiders with very strong venom existed millions of years ago.

The Welshman tenderly touched his calf and made a pulling motion with his hands to the bench as he left the pitch, which might imply internal muscle damage. Given that Karim Benzema was injured after a brutal Champions League encounter with City rivals Atletico Madrid in midweek, Bale's injury took the famous \"BBC\" strikeforce just down to C. That's the grade you'd give it too, in 2015, when compared to the performances of Barcelona's trio. Isco came in for Benzema, with the Frenchman's injury solving a problem that was brewing at Real Madrid, with Carlo Ancelotti having to choose between the former Malaga man, and James Rodriguez. The latter was chosen over the former to face Atletico, leading to stories of angst on Isco's part, but the issue was resolved by Benzema's timely absence. Modric, meanwhile, was taken out by a Recio challenge in the second half. It wasn't too fierce a tackle, but the Croatian took a strong knock to his knee and is now a doubt for Wednesday's second leg against Atletico. Malaga, having beaten Barcelona at Camp Nou earlier this season, and drawn with champions Atletico Madrid last week, are no La Liga whipping boys and they came to the Santiago Bernabeu with the belief they could win. Nordin Amrabat, on loan from Galatasaray, charged forward battling with Pepe, escaped the Real Madrid defender and crossed for Juanmi, but the forward couldn't connect and the chance was gone. The Dutchman stung Iker Casillas' fingertips with a strike from distance, the veteran stopper tipping his effort behind for a corner. Carlos Idriss Kameni was forced into a similar save at the other end, spectacularly flicking a header from Bale's replacement, Javier", "summary": "Sergio Ramos opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the first half at the Bernabeu .

But the Manchester derby this Sunday still holds great significance for both clubs, managers and, of course, supporters. City have won the last four contests between the sides, as well as the previous three at Old Trafford. A number of intriguing strands run through this coming clash and could be pulled apart on full time. Here Sportsmail assesses ten key questions and tries to provide some answers. Can Manuel Pellegrini survive a derby loss? The word is the Chilean\u2019s future will be decided come May when the dust on a creaking season has settled. Defeat to cross-town rivals would push chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak closer to pressing the termination button though. It would leave City trailing United by four points and likely to finish fourth, needing to get past a qualifying round to reach to Champions League \u2013 the very minimum requirement. Manuel Pellegrini (centre) is a man under-pressure at City and a defeat to their rivals is unthinkable . Who needs the win more? To that end you would probably have to say City. A victory would inject some happiness into what seems a rather glum situation, and reignite ambitions to finish second, possible saving Pellegrini from the axe. United look set to finish in the top four regardless, the baseline attainment for this campaign to be judged satisfactory. But they will be desperate to alter that current ugly sequence against their noisy neighbours. United have never lost five in a row to City before. Three points would begin to make their season look very decent indeed. Glenn Murray (right) tormented City at Selhurst Park as they dropped out of the Premier League title race . Would victory dispel any lingering doubts about Louis Van Gaal? Quite likely. Three successive wins on the bounce against opposition the stature of Tottenham, Liverpool and City would underline Van Gaal\u2019s ability to rise to the big matches and suggest that, after a season of trial, error, and turnstile selections, the plan is coming together. Those uncertainties around the Dutchman would resurface just as swiftly with defeat of course. Louis van Gaal has had his critics this season but Manchester United's performances are proving them wrong . Should Vincent Kompany remain in the City side? It would be a big call for a game of such size, but the sense that City may be better off without their captain cannot be disregarded. These should be the 29-year-old\u2019s peak years but injuries seem to have affected his body and mind. The Belgian is increasingly prone to errors of judgement. Martin Demichelis and Eliaquim Mangala do not provide the most robust competition but Kompany\u2019s appearance in seven losses in 12 games speaks volumes.

Mrs Else, 52, explained in her first full interview since the estate agent's murder that she has been left too scared to leave the house. She said: 'Andrew must have got off that bus and felt safe.

Ten years on from his career-defining captaincy in the 2005 Ashes, Vaughan is the hot favourite to be appointed as director of England cricket, a streamlined version of the managing director's job which was abolished with Paul Downton's sacking on Wednesday. The 40-year-old has previously kept his distance from a formal role with the ECB, preferring to focus on his burgeoning media profile and business interests, but has declared himself open to discussions about the new post. Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen believes Michael Vaughan is the right man to lead England Cricket . Pietersen received the lion's share of attention during a photocall for his new club Surrey . The controversial star and Vaughan were England team-mates before Pietersen was axed by the ECB . Vaughan would be a pioneering presence, having spoken with passion and candour about the need to accept England's failings and press for change at all costs. That may yet prove good news for the exiled Pietersen. The controversial batsman has largely kept his counsel on the demise of Downton, whose first act in the job was to sack Pietersen last February. But he did tell BreatheSport that his 2005 Ashes captain Vaughan had the credentials to replace him. 'He (Vaughan) is close enough to the game to make changes which need to happen for the good of English cricket,' Pietersen said. 'The way he captained shows he'll change the brand of cricket currently being played, which we need.' Vaughan has previously concentrated on his media duties but is believed to be open to the role . The former England captain speaks with Stuart Broad during last summer's Test series with India . Vaughan holds the urn after England famously reclaimed the Ashes against Australia in 2005 . Pietersen may not have played international cricket for well over a year but his shadow looms large over the current turmoil surrounding England. Downton's troubled reign was defined by the decision to martyr Pietersen after the 2013/14 Ashes. The ECB board met at Lord's on Thursday, but there was no official word on the recruitment process. Instead a short statement merely confirmed that Giles Clarke's move from chairman to president had been rubber-stamped, with Middlesex deputy chairman Ian Lovett nominated as vice-chairman. Clarke will become the first ECB president on May 14, a role that carries responsibility for ICC business, while his old post will go to Colin Graves. Graves was the man who gave new legs to Pietersen's mooted comeback when he appeared to suggest a blank slate policy would take root when he arrived at Lord's. Graves hinted that a prolific run in county cricket could see him reinstated, which led to the 34-year-old extricating himself from his Indian Premier League contract and re-signing with Surrey. Downton's exit removed one significant obstacle and should Vaughan be handed the new position, that would strengthen his hand yet further.

James Coney had written an editorial opinion piece for the Washington Post claiming Poland shares responsibility for the Holocaust with Germany. The piece sparked outrage among Polish politicians and media. US Ambassador Stephen Mull met with the Polish deputy foreign affairs minister and apologised for the comments. He said: 'I made clear that the opinion that Poland is in any way responsible for the Holocaust is not the position of the United States. 'Nazi Germany alone bears responsibility.' Mr Mull said he now had 'a lot of work' to do to rectify the situation. Comey's April 16 opinion piece in the Washington Post stated that Poland played a role in Nazi Germany's genocide of six million European Jews in the Holocaust. 'In their minds, the murderers and accomplices of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary, and so many, many other places didn't do something evil,' Comey wrote. The piece was titled Why I require FBI agents to visit the Holocaust Museum. 'They convinced themselves it was the right thing to do, the thing they had to do,' it continues. Scroll down for video . Poland's president Bronislaw Komorowski told public television that Comey's comments showed a 'lack of historical knowledge' and were an 'insult to thousands of Poles who helped Jews'. On Sunday foreign ministry spokesman Marcin Wojciechowski wrote on Twitter that Mull would 'receive a note of protest and a summons for an apology.' US Ambassador Stephen Mull apologised to Poland . The US Ambassador was quick to present an informal apology at memorial ceremonies in the Polish capital on Sunday marking the 72nd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Six million Polish citizens were killed under Nazi Germany's occupation of Poland during World War II. While half of the victims were Jewish, the other half were Christian. Historical records show instances of Poles turning against their Jewish neighbours, either killing them or giving them up to the Nazis. Poles also risked their lives and families to save Jews. In 2012, US President Barack Obama caused outrage in Warsaw when he labelled a World War II Nazi German facility in occupied Poland used to process Jews for extermination a 'Polish death camp'. He subsequently expressed 'regret' at what he called his inadvertent use of the erroneous term 'Polish death camp.' Poland's government keenly watches the global media for descriptions of former Nazi German death camps as 'Polish. It says the term - even if used simply as a geographical indicator - can give the impression that Poland bore responsibility for the Holocaust.

Robert Bates, 73, appeared in Tulsa district court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter in the death of Eric Harris, who was killed during a botched sting on April 2. Despite the charges, the judge said that the retired insurance executive, who is out on $25,000 bond, is allowed to take a previously planned vacation to the Bahamas, NBC reported. Harris' family reacted to the decision in a statement released by their lawyer. Heading to court: Robert Bates, left, is seen walking to court on Tuesday morning with his attorney Corbin Brewster, right, before he entered his not-guilty plea in the death of Eric Harris earlier this month .

'Whether intended or not, Mr. Bates' vacationing in the Bahamas at this time sends a message of apathy with respect to the shooting and Eric's life,' they said. 'At a time when we are still mourning the death of a loved one that he shot down in the street, Mr. Bates will be relaxing and enjoying his wealth and privilege.' It is not clear when he is leaving for the holiday but Bates will next appear in court on July 2.

Bates, a Tulsa County volunteer, shot Harris, 44, after the man was confronted during an undercover gun-sale operation and ran past him. Video of the incident shows Bates chasing after Harris. In an attempt to subdue him, Bates went to grab his Taser, but was unaware he had actually pulled out his gun instead. In the video, which was released by the sheriff's office, Bates can be heard shouting 'Taser! Taser!' When the gunshot goes off, he says: 'I shot him! I'm sorry.'

However, if you are doubling over with debilitating pain, it could actually be a sign of something much worse. While most 'normal' period pain can be fixed with ibuprofen or a over-the-counter anti-inflammatory, a doctor tells Daily Mail Australia that more severe symptoms such as nausea, back or leg pain or bleeding at unexpected times of the month can all point to a more serious condition - endrometriosis. Dr Lara Briden explains that endometriosis is a condition where bits of the uterus lining grow in other places outside of the uterus such as the ovaries, bladder or intestines. Painful periods: 90 per cent of women will experience period pain in their life time . 'Women who experience some degree of menstrual pain, caused by prostaglandins, will be suffering from your run of the mill, standard period pain,' she says. 'You can easily lower prostaglandins with an anti-inflammatory or it can be addressed and removed with diet.' However, Briden says it's when pain is abnormal and can lead to sever pain and vomiting that women should go straight to a doctor. 'Normal period pain should be on the first or second day of bleeding, not later in the bleeding cycle or before. So timing is all part of the warning signs,' says Briden. Spine symptoms: Back and leg pain can be symptoms of endometriosis according to Dr Briden . 1. Severity: Extreme pain that over the counter medication can not ease . 2. Location: Lower back or leg pain . 3. Timing: Pain during first two days of bleeding is normal, any other time during the cycle is not . 4. Other factors: Pain during sex, bleeding between periods can be other symptoms of endometriosis . 'Standard pain is also most commonly in the lower belly where the uterus is. However extended pain that makes you vomit or that reaches the lower back or legs shouldn't be considered a routine thing.' So what are the other symptoms women should look out for? 'Pain during or after sex can also be a key symptom, according to Dr Briden. 'Patients might a deep stabbing pain, maybe not every time they have sex - it could be in middle of their cycle or any time, not just during their period.' Bleeding between periods is another key sign. 'Seeing blood a day or two before is normal, but other times during the month is definitely a reason to see doctor,' says Dr Briden.

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.

Now the European Commission, the EU's top antitrust authority, is asking companies who previously filed confidential complaints against Google for permission to publish them, so that officials can begin to build a case against the firm. If found to have been behaving unfairly, Google could be fined ten per cent of its annual revenues, which would be more than \u00a34 billion based on last year's performance. Facing huge fine: Google is facing a fine of up to \u00a34billion as Europe prepares to file a high-profile anti-competition lawsuit against the internet giant . Shopping, comparison and travel companies are among those that have been contacted by the EU, The Wall Street Journal reports. US companies Microsoft and Trip Advisor are among those that have filed complaints against Google with the EU. A decision to file charges would kick start the EU's most prominent antitrust suit since its ten year-long campaign against Microsoft Corp. - the firm was forced to pay out more than a \u00a31billion in fines in 2012.

Once filed, it's likely that a number of deeper investigations, counter-statements, and settlement discussions would ensue.

A 'preliminary view' taken by the commission in March 2013 was that Google was abusing its dominant position in a number of areas . The company has denied any wrongdoing. Speaking in Berlin last week, Kent Walker, the company's Senior Vice President & General Counsel, highlighted the 'painfully long list of unsuccessful Google products', including Google+ and Street View in Germany, as proof that competition laws were serving their purpose.

The emails show the very active role that Cylvia Hayes, Kitzhaber's longtime companion, played in his administration, as well as the tension that it sometimes raised with the governor's staff. Hayes routinely attended meetings, was copied on emails among senior staff and requested information or clerical assistance from state employees. Kitzhaber had downplayed her role in the administration, insisting she was not adviser or public official, which would require her to adhere to the ethics laws that he and his staff must uphold. Scroll down for video . Emails released by the state of Oregon show Cylvia Hayes, (right) fiancee of former Governor John Kitzhaber (left), shows that she played a very active role in his scandalous administration . Kitzhaber, a Democrat, resigned in February, saying the influence-peddling allegations surrounding Hayes had become too much of a distraction. The FBI is investigating and has issued subpoenas for the emails and thousands of other records. The emails released Friday are messages between Hayes and the official email accounts for staff members in Kitzhaber's office. Yet to be released are Hayes' interactions with officials in other state agencies, as well as emails from her personal accounts that discussed state business. Hayes has filed a lawsuit seeking to block the release of her personal emails. The emails show that Hayes was involved in policy meetings, and her input was sometimes sought on policy questions. In one example from April 2011, shortly after Kitzhaber took office, the governor's executive assistant sent an email to an aide assigned to Hayes. She had scheduled a meeting for two policy advisers, Kitzhaber and Hayes, but the governor had to leave early. 'They will discuss natural resource and jobs/economy-related issues,' the assistant wrote. 'The Governor will stay for 15 minutes; but I expect the meeting to last 30 minutes.' A year later, Hayes was asked to weigh in on a bill before the Legislature. 'Cheryl, Regarding bullet 3 of HB 4144, I would not like to see it removed,' Hayes wrote. 'That is counter to where we are headed with the ten year energy plan and implementing carbon accounting.' Hayes routinely attended meetings, was copied on emails among senior staff and requested information or clerical assistance from state employees . Her relations with staff sometimes caused tensions.

The venerable club in Baron\u2019s Court will host Britain\u2019s biggest home tie in three decades from July 17-19, after agreement was reached between its management and the Lawn Tennis Association today. British Captain Leon Smith and his lead player had made it clear that they wanted to take on the strong French team on grass, as it would appear to give them fewer selection options from their rich resources. Andy Murray in action last year at the Queen's Club, which will host the Davis Cup quarter final against France . Murray celebrates winning at Queen's in 2013 - one of three triumphs he has had at the tournament .

This time there will be three weeks between Roland Garros and Wimbledon, so by the time GB take on France for a place in the World Group semi-finals all the players will be perfectly attuned to the grass. The court at Queen\u2019s is at least the equal of Wimbledon in terms of quality, and the atmosphere will be very different from the usually staid one that accompanies the principle warm-up event for the big fortnight. Thanks to Murray, GB and France look well-matched and it could well depend on who wins the doubles rubber on the Saturday. France has seven players in the world\u2019s singles top 50, although some have been affected by injuries this season. However, they will be encouraged by the recent comeback of Jo Wilfried Tsonga, who is their best grass court exponent and looking in decent form after overcoming arm problems. He has done well at Queen\u2019s before but his record is not as impressive as that of Murray, who has won the pre-Wimbledon title three times. Murray said: 'Queen\u2019s will be a perfect venue for our quarter-final match against France. I\u2019ve been playing at Queen\u2019s for ten years now so I feel very at home there as do the rest of the British team, so it\u2019s a great choice.

Mr Hatch's worried wife Enid then went looking for her husband after he failed to return into the house from the garden.

As Rogers was handcuffed by police officers, he told them: 'I have been waiting a long time to kill that man.' Police then interviewing Rogers suspected he may have been suffering mental health problems when he started making strange statements about why he killed his neighbour. Prosecutor Mike Jones said Rogers told police he had killed Fred because he was involved in modern 'witchcraft'. Mr Jones explained: 'He told police he had a moral duty to himself to kill this person as these people were using modern technology the equivalent of witchcraft to harm defenceless sentient beings. 'He said Fred had been in collusion with what he described as \"the man and his colleagues\".' The court was told the morning of October 8 last year began with Mr Hatch walking to the communal garden to spread grass seeds. Rogers told police he had 'been waiting for an opportunity to get this person' and when he saw Mr Hatch walking back from the garden he 'opened his door and attacked.'

That was in 1970, at the end of a wonderfully hard-fought World Cup group match between England and Brazil, which the South Americans won 1-0. So loudly did the football world applaud such an exhibition of mutual respect between two giants of the game that all these decades later, the applause still resounds. That image of them is frequently flourished as a perfect example of what the game was, and is used to compare, unfavourably, with what it has become. Newcastle keeper Tim Krul congratulated Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe on his goal at half-time . Bobby Moore's famous hug with Pele in 1970 is often held up as the peak of sportsmanship .

Sportsmail\u2019s Jamie Carragher, among many others, has lambasted Krul for an inappropriate show of brotherhood towards a fellow professional. On Match of the Day 2, Danny Murphy agreed. The Dutchman, they say, was out of order. The implication is that, as he walked off the pitch at half-time, he should have been so lost in his own despair, or anger, or disappointment, or fierce resolve to get back on terms, that if he\u2019d noticed Defoe at all, the only acceptable form of communication should have been a muttered oath, or at best a hard stare.

Now sporting manicures and ponytails, the former Playgirl cover hunk has evolved from being the picture of American manliness into a favorite feminine topic of tabloid speculation. Scroll down for video . Moving with the times: Bruce Jenner's face has changed dramatically over the years, and the star has finally spoken out about speculation that he is transitioning. He confirmed this is the last time he will appear as Bruce before becoming 'her' After taking home the gold, Bruce was a national hero - and a national heartthrob. Muscles bulging, the athletic champ quickly became the media's darling, and appeared in a variety of advertisements, including a Wheaties box cover, as well as many magazine covers. In 1982, he famously posed shirtless on the cover of Playgirl magazine alongside then-wife Linda Thompson, now 64, epitomizing the manly ideal of a strong athlete with a hairy chest.

Body hair gone: Since this hairy-legged high jumper competed in Canada in 1976, he has reportedly undergone numerous electrolysis treatments, and photos from the 1975 Pan Am Games show a much more hirsute physique . He told Diane Sawyer that in the mid-1980s, he started hormone therapy and was undergoing electrolysis to rid himself of his 'repulsive' facial hair, and had already gone under the knife in a bid to make himself look more like a woman. In 1984, he got what his future step-daughter Kim Kardashian would later describe as an 'ill-advised' nose job and facelift.

+{"article": "Football agents were left in limbo on Wednesday as they awaited news on new regulations. As of April 1, the licensing system for agents is to change so that anyone can become a football agent as long as they pay \u00a3500 for an initial one-year registration period. The FA will then charge \u00a3250 for every subsequent year of renewal. Already established licensed agents were exempt. The FA is due to place a link on their website for intermediaries to register, but as of 1pm that was still not in place. Mel Stein thinks the new regulations on becoming a football agent will 'create anarchy' The new guidelines have come in after FIFA effectively washed their hands of governing agents. FIFA recommendations include national associations registering only intermediaries of 'impeccable character', all deals annually published online, agents' fees limited to three per cent and no monies earned by them for negotiating deals for players under the age of 18. The FA, Premier League and Football League have been discussing how best to cope with FIFA opting out. All have serious concerns about how the system will work in Britain and abroad, especially in under-developed football territories. Mel Stein, chairman of the London-based Association of Football Agents, told the Guardian: 'I think it's going to create anarchy and everybody is going to be sorry about it. FIFA couldn't cope so they decided to hand it over to the individual territories. Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao (right) with his agent Jorge Mendes pictured last year . 'I can see the bloke in the pub who knows a parent or a footballer's dad saying 'I'll represent you' and then undercutting everyone.'

The three per cent cap will destroy the business of probably 50% of my members.' AFA (Association of Football Agents) has been holding discussions to reach a compromise and have pushed for self regulating.

Sonia Pereiro-Mendez says she was denied millions in pay and bonuses when she announced she was expecting her first child. Male colleagues at the bank were promoted ahead of her and she was \u2018mocked\u2019 and subjected to \u2018gratuitous derogatory\u2019 comments about her childcare arrangements, she alleges. So in an attempt to prove her claim, she recorded managers at the global investment firm \u2018without their knowledge\u2019, a tribunal heard yesterday. The executive director in distressed investing \u2013 which concerns companies in financial difficulties \u2013 is suing her employer for sex and maternity discrimination. She has also lodged a claim against three senior bosses \u2013 Bryan Mix, the global head of loan trading, Nicholas Pappas, who is European head of distressed trading, and Simon Morris, global head of credit trading. Yesterday Mrs Pereiro-Mendez arrived with her second child for the first day of the hearing at Central London Employment Tribunal, which was told she would need breaks during proceedings to breastfeed. The hearing was not told who was recorded by Mrs Pereiro-Mendez, although they are likely to be among the 15 or so witnesses due to be called during the tribunal. The revelation was made by the bank\u2019s counsel Daniel Stilitz QC, who said: \u2018One key point is that... the claimant recorded some of the managers without their knowledge.\u2019 Mrs Pereiro-Mendez, who speaks fluent German and Spanish, joined Goldman Sachs in 2003 and moved to London in 2005 after a stint in Frankfurt.

She was also entitled to a bonus of about five per cent of the profit she generated. But in 2011 she received \u00a3200,000 rather than the \u00a3910,000 she claims she was owed. Goldman Sachs executive Sonia Pereiro-Mendez claims after she became pregnant she was cheated out of millions of pounds .

In her claim, she says she took \u2018exceptional measures\u2019 to perform her work during maternity leave.

The Wasps No 8 was initially suspended for three matches, after a disciplinary panel ruled he had been \u2018reckless\u2019 for failing to prevent his knee colliding with the head of the Welsh Lion, as he scored a try for Northampton on March 27. Hughes was shown a red card for the offence, but that dismissal has now been officially rescinded.

Yet, in a stunning twist \u2013 and in light of fierce criticism \u2013 the ban was thrown out, as the appeal lodged by Wasps was up-held. Nathan Hughes's knee collided with George North's head as he crossed the line to score for Northampton .

Jeremy Summers, chairman of the appeal hearing panel, said: \u2018The appeal panel considered it appropriate to hear the matter afresh.

Hayley Okines became well-known three years ago when she was part of a documentary about her premature ageing condition. She suffered from the rare disease progeria which ages the body at eight times the normal rate. Progeria takes its name from the Greek word 'proeros', meaning prematurely old. It involves a mutant protein called progerin that accelerates physical ageing. There are around 74 known cases of the disease around the world and only four in the UK. Scroll down for video . Hayley Okines, who suffered a rare genetic condition that gave her the body of a 100-year-old, has died aged 17 . A 10 year old progeria child will have the appearance of an octogenarian with symptoms including baldness, arthritis and heart problems, but the mind of a 10 year old. Progeria patients normally die from heart attacks or strokes at an average age of 13. But Hayley, from Bexhill, East Sussex, defied the odds to live four more years and even published an autobiography about living with the disease. Last night her mother Kerry posted on Facebook: 'My baby girl has gone somewhere better. She took her last breath in my arms at 9.39pm x.' Today, the Progeria Research Foundation posted on its Facebook page: 'The entire Progeria family mourns together with many as we say goodbye to Hayley Okines, our smart, beautiful and spirited English rose, who passed away today at age 17. 'Gone from our sight, but never our memories, gone from our touch but never our hearts. We will miss you.' Hayley and her family had fundraised for her medical treatment and to raise public understanding of the condition. Her story was catapulted into the limelight after she starred in documentaries called The Girl who is Older than Her Mother and World's Oldest Teenager: Extraordinary People. Her autobiography, called Old Before my Time, detailed pop-star crushes and a dislike of school. But it was also a moving insight into how a child copes with a disease which resulted in Hayley having the body of a 105-year-old.

England began in thrilling style, with Kirby fashioning the opener for strike partner Jodie Taylor after just a minute of play. Reading striker Kirby then fired home the second goal of her short international career - this was her eighth cap - to put the home side in apparently full control at Manchester City's Academy Stadium. Jodie Taylor celebrates following her opening minute strike against China in Manchester . But as 5,665 watched on, England struggled to build on their early assault on the China goal. Wang Shanshan cut China's arrears after shaky defending, and might have had an equaliser in the second half but mis-kicked as England feared the worst. Kirby, a 21-year-old playing in the second division of the Women's Super League, was impressive throughout, a nimble-footed presence who China struggled to deal with. She was player of the match when England played the United States in February, and was again arguably a class apart, although this time midfielder Jill Scott took the champagne. Fran Kirby (left) is congratulated by her England team-mates after she netted the second goal for his side . China were caught cold when Kirby dribbled the ball down the left and curved a tremendous ball with the outside of her right boot to Taylor, who fired past Zhang Yue for the early opener. The architect turned predator to put the hosts 2-0 in front in the 10th minute, meeting a right-wing cross from Jordan Nobbs with a clever touch on her chest that took out her marker before smashing home from 10 yards. Just two minutes later the lively Reading striker, with 10 goals in her last three club matches, forced Zhang to push away a 20-yard drive. Jade Moore hit the left post after a hopeless kick out from Zhang, and England were rampant. Kirby was in imperious form during the first half as she created the first goal and scored the second .

Chamberlain had to save well to turn away a free-kick from Li Dongna before the break, with defensive insecurities becoming a worrying feature of England's game. This was England's last home game before Mark Sampson's squad head to Canada in May, ahead of a World Cup campaign that begins against France in Moncton on June 9.

But for one New York-based writer, the urge to stand in front of a mirror and poke at and squeeze her pores for hours on end became so bad that it actually started 'sabotaging' her life. In an inspiring essay for Marie Claire, Jenna Marotta, 27, tells of her experience with dermatillomania - a compulsive skin-picking disorder that left her face bleeding - and how she managed to overcome it. 'I'd descend \"into the mirror\" for up to four hours a day,' Jenna writes in the essay, explaining how her actions horrified her parents. 'I would nick and squeeze and yank at every clogged pore on my face.' Scroll down for video . Obsessive behavior: Jenna Marotta, 27, of New York, says her habit of picking at the pores on her face was so all-consuming that it became 'self-sabotaging' At first, Jenna was just looking for a way to break out of her binge-eating routine. As a child she developed bad eating habits - she would skip breakfast and lunch, then stuff her face with whatever she wanted for hours when she got home. Her binge-eating cycle continued through college and after graduation, when she moved back home to her parents' house in Illinois. 'I knew I was bingeing while I was bingeing,' she writes, adding that part of the problem was that she would head to the kitchen whenever she felt bored. 'So I decided to find a new place to spend my ample downtime.' That place became her parents' bathroom, where her mom kept a stainless steel 10x magnifying mirror and an array of Tweezerman tweezers. Jenna's use of the tweezers started off innocently enough, with her plucking out stray hairs along her eyebrows. Then she started to become obsessive, revisiting her brows several times a day and moving on to other areas of her face, where she would use those same tweezers to clear out pores and remove ingrown hairs. 'At one point, I became convinced that there was a lone dark hair trapped under my chin,' she says. 'I could think of nothing more vital than removing this growth from my face. In the process of freeing the (probably imagined) hair, I dug an eighth-inch deep hole.' Getting better: After accidentally going ten days without touching her pores when she forgot to pack her tweezers for a trip, Jenna managed to move away from her bad skin habit. She still sees a psychiatrist . Jenna was aware that her skin-picking was growing out of control and visited a 'battalion' of dermatologists, who told her that her problem was psychosomatic. So she enrolled in an an outpatient program for mental health. But once the three-week program ended, she insisted she had her problem under enough control to move on her own to New York City.

The Reds moved within four points of the Barclays Premier League top four after goals from Raheem Sterling and Joe Allen saw off the struggling Magpies at Anfield. With fading champions Manchester City now looking vulnerable in fourth, Liverpool's hopes - which took a hefty blow in back-to-back losses to Manchester United and Arsenal - could have been reignited. Raheem Sterling wheels away in celebration after scoring Liverpool's opener . Rodgers said: 'The players and myself are very motivated to do the best we can. We have shown we can put results together consistently. We have important players coming back which is good news. 'But we are looking for other teams to slip up and we have to continue winning. 'There are teams above us but, as we have seen last year, there can be changes and points dropped and I think there will be changes.' Sterling curls the ball in to the far corner of Tim Krul's net to give Liverpool the lead . Liverpool, inspired by Philippe Coutinho, started superbly with Sterling scoring after nine minutes and several other chances being created. Newcastle rallied before the break and had a strong penalty appeal turned down but Allen made the game safe in the second half. Rodgers said: 'It was a good performance. I thought that our attacking play was very bright, we looked exciting going forward, we worked hard in the midfield. Sterling's shot nestles in to the back of the net as Krul picks himself up from Anfield turf . 'At times our possession could have been better but we had a real attacking intent and created chances and could have scored more goals.' The defeat was Newcastle's fifth in succession and left them with work still to do to ensure they do not get pulled into the relegation battle. Their misery was compounded when Moussa Sissoko was sent off for what was deemed a second yellow card offence, when he caught Lucas Leiva on the ankle.

Chronically ill in his final years, Mr Moon began arranging for his funeral 16 years before his death in 2013. The 72-year-old railroad conductor had paid $4,655 to be buried in a family plot in Chehalis, Washington, according to a lawsuit filed in Lewis County Superior Court. The prepaid services also included embalming, a funeral and a graveside service. After he passed away at a hospice in Longview on October 13, the funeral home was responsible for transporting his body to the Brown Mortuary for a burial.

According to family members, Mr Moon's funeral was a touching goodbye to the man they loved. At the end of the service, they opened the casket. But they were horrified to find the body of Robert Petitclerc - dressed in Jerry Moon's clothes and with a picture of Moon's wife tucked under the pillow in the coffin. Plastic had been wrapped round his head and face. 'This makes me feel like he was treated as a number, not a person,' daughter Cheryl Moon told KIROTV.com at the time. 'I turned around and said to myself three times, 'That's not him, that's not him, that's not him,' son Randy Moon told the station. The mistake is all the more surprising as Mr Moon was 72 and bald while Mr Petitclerc was 97 and had a full head of hair, the lawsuit said. 'It was horrifying,' Mr Briggs told the Seattle Pi. The family, who had been given a bill of $8,834 by Brown Mortuary for the service, would only later learn that the mix up at the funeral home meant Mr Moon's had been cremated.

'There is definitely going to be change at Manchester City, whether it's players, the manager, people above. Certainly some players. 'There are some weeds in the garden and you've got to get them out of the changing room pretty quick. You cannot carry passengers.' Neville singled out Toure as an example of the 'weeds' at the Etihad in a scathing attack. 'He does that much for the team in an attacking sense you live with maybe the consequences of that defensively,' he said. 'But when the balance tips to a point when going forward isn't quite as effective as it once was, you've got to do something different because the defensive side is poor. Neville predicts changes at Manchester City and says the club need to get rid of 'weeds in the garden' 'If I was a player in that dressing room looking at him in central midfield thinking you're not chasing back, you're not running around, you're not sprinting for the ball. There might be a physical problem that he cannot do it, let alone if he doesn't want to do it. I think there's definitely going to be some changes.' Graeme Souness, also on Sky Sports, even suggested the 31-year-old's work when his side doesn't have the ball is a factor in their disappointing Champions League results in recent years.

'There are too many examples, too much evidence when watching him where he cannot do his job, simple as that. As a central midfield player in the big matches he just cannot do it.'

Next step: The newlyweds later headed to their bedroom leaving viewers to wonder whether they finally 'consummated their marriage' And while viewers have to wait until next week's episode to see if the newlyweds did indeed take their relationship to the next level, Jaclyn hinted that physical intimacy is definitely going to develop - and soon.

Jan Hansen's egg is so big that it took him three days to put together and is made from layers of Belgian chocolate which covers an iron frame. The creation had to be completed using a step ladder and is the equivalent of 1,600 chocolate bars. Jan Hansen with his 7ft tall Easter egg which he will sell off in pieces to raise money for St Barnabas Hospice . Mr Hansen hopes to raise \u00a31,000 from the sale of the egg for St Barnabas Hospice. The giant treat, which has since been wrapped in cellophane complete with a bow on top, was made with melted chocolate which had to be tempered overnight. The 58-year-old chocolatier commissioned an iron worker to make a special frame for his egg, which was then wrapped in grease proof paper and cling film, before being covered in chocolate. Due to the nature of chocolate contracting after it cools, Mr Hansen had to add layer upon layer of chocolate using a palette knife over a three-day period. He then finished the egg off using a 'rough bark' finish. Mr Hansen, who has been in the chocolate business for almost three decades, currently has the egg on display at his shop Hansen's Chocolate House in Folkingham, Sleaford, Linconshire . Layers of chocolate cover an egg-shaped iron frame which the chocolatier had specially commissioned . In the past he has made giant Easter eggs but never one that has sized up to his current creation which measures five feet in width. On Easter Sunday the egg is to be cracked using a hammer before it is sold off to punters who have already been sizing up the egg. Mr Hansen said: 'It is a fair size and it makes a massive difference compared to the others I have made in the past. 'It's quite fortunate that the conservatory has air conditioning and that it has double doors so we can get it out.

Salford's last home win against the Rhinos was a 21-12 Regal Trophy victory at The Willows in November 1993 and their wait goes on after a 28-18 loss. But their depleted side turned in a battling show, trailing 16-12 at half-time, before slipping to only their second defeat in the last eight games.

Full-back Niall Evalds followed up his two-try show against Wigan with another brace with the Red Devils other touchdown from Lama Tasi. Peacock crossed for his side's first two tries before Ash Handley, the outstanding Rob Burrow and Zak Hardaker went in to seal a hard-fought win in difficult conditions. Salford, already without the suspended Rangi Chase and Weller Hauraki, were shorn of another six regulars but coach Iestyn Harris was not taking the voluntary option to rest any of his players before Saturday's cup tie at Leigh. His hand was forced with Tommy Lee, Kevin Locke, Josh Griffin, Cory Paterson and brothers Jordan and Adam Walne all injured. Harris handed debuts to Under-19 captain Ryan Lannon - cousin of Gareth Hock - and 20-year-old Matty Gee with the back-row pair starting in the bench.

Ben Jones-Bishop spilled a pass in the wind with Danny McGuire pouncing on the loose ball 40 metres out but was hauled down by Theo Fages.

But the Red Devils hit back immediately with Fages' side-stepping run sending sub Tasi over with Michael Dobson's kick levelling the scores. Then Evalds shot through the Leeds defence to fire Salford into a 12-6 lead. Peacock struck again to level at 12-12 after being the quickest to react to McGuire's grubber kick. Salford thought they had regained the advantage four minutes before the break when Hardaker failed to gather Dobson's towering kick in the gale and Scott Taylor collected the ball to race over.

Ryanair refused to explain the reason behind its decision, but it follows a handful of incidents involving boorish behaviour by inebriated travellers heading to the island for days of sun, booze and revelry. Passengers' hand luggage will be searched before they board at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, said the airline . An email sent to Ibiza-bound passengers and obtained by the Daily Record said: \u2018Customers will not be allowed to carry alcohol on board and all cabin baggage will be searched at boarding gates. \u2018Any alcohol purchased in airport shops or elsewhere must be packed in a suitable item of baggage, which will be tagged and placed in the aircraft hold free of charge. \u2018Customers attempting to conceal alcohol will be denied travel without refund or compensation.\u2019 In a statement to MailOnline Travel, a Ryanair spokesman said the airline made the decision after consultations with customers and airport officials.

Phillip Buchanon was a first-round draft pick for the Oakland Raiders, and seventeenth overall, when his mother made the request in 2002. Buchanon, who also played for the Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins before retiring in 2011, discussed the incident in his recently released book New Money: Stay Rich. 'If my mother taught me anything, it's that this is the most desperate demand that a parent can make on a child,' he wrote in an exclusive excerpt released to Fox Sports. Former NFL player Phillip Buchanon (pictured here playing for the Oakland Raiders) has revealed his mother demanded he pay her one million dollars as the cost 'for raising him for the last 18 years' after he was drafted . 'The covenant of having a child is simply that you give your child everything possible, and they owe you nothing beyond a normal amount of love and respect.' But after years, Buchanon said he realized that his mother and family members were different - especially when money became involved. He told Fox Sports that he wrote the book to make sure 'the next generation of athletes doesn't make the same mistakes' he did when he finally got paid the big NFL bucks. Buchanon said he followed the 'unwritten NFL New Money Millionaire' rule and instead bought his mother a brand new big house, as well as paid for all her finances that did not include food or entertainment. But he soon realized that gift would come with its own problems. Instead of selling her old house, like he advised, Buchanon's mother rented it to his aunt. This left Buchanon paying for mortgage and maintenance payments for both houses for seven years. Buchanon asks rookies to consider certain questions before buying their family 'big-ticket purchases', such as whether the family member would be able to make the payments if they couldn't, or if the family member expected them to pay for upkeep 20 years later. The former football star said his mother never offered him the money she made from her sister's rent, and later blamed him for 'messing up her life' after he kicked her boyfriend out of the house he paid for. 'What she didn't see was that her boyfriend was pimping her and me out,' he wrote. 'He wasn't bringing anything to the table, just taking.' Buchanon said he bought his mother a house instead, which brought its own set of problems for years . Buchanon (pictured playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) said his relatives also asked him for money, claiming they needed a check to pay for repairs and bills .

Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said she was 'not afraid' of a legal challenge because she is convinced the Labour peer is not fit to plead because of his dementia. And in her first interview since she announced Lord Janner would not face trial she refused to quit because 'making the right decision is not a resigning issue'. Fighting back: Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said she was 'not afraid' of a legal challenge over her decision not to charge Lord Janner and said she would not quit . Victims and leading politicians have accused her of 'damaging public confidence' in the justice system with her ruling \u2013 even though there was a enough evidence to go ahead with a prosecution. Mrs Saunders admitted herself that three investigations into claims made by 25 alleged victims over 25 years were botched - but decided it was now too late to charge him. She told the Evening Standard today: 'If somebody wants to challenge my decision I'm not afraid. The proper way to challenge it is through the right to review or a judicial review. 'I'm confident that if they want to do that my decision will stand up. I thought long and hard before making it and I'm confident I got it right. My job is not to be populist.

Last night it emerged Mrs Saunders overruled the advice of two of the country's most senior barristers to allow Lord Janner to avoid a trial. Clare Montgomery QC and child abuse expert Eleanor Laws QC, leading counsel to the investigation, offered advice which could have supported a move to prosecute. In particular, Mrs Laws pointed to overwhelming evidence and corroborating accounts by victims during the two-year police inquiry. But Mrs Saunders decided it was not in the public interest to put Lord Janner in the dock due to his Alzheimer's disease. Campaigners, MPs and victims believe a 'trial of the facts' could have satisfied the need to get to the bottom of the appalling claims against the peer, whatever his mental state.

The KKK men believed the prisoner was infected with HIV and hepatitis and he bit one of them during a fight, officials said. Klans men Thomas Jordan Driver, 25, David Elliot Moran, 47, and Charles Thomas Newcomb, 42, each face one state count of conspiracy to commit murder, according to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's office. The supposed hit man was an FBI criminal informant who recorded those scenes and others over the past year. Investigators said he faked pictures of the black man's death to help build a case against three Klan members who worked at a Florida prison. The case is the latest black eye for the troubled state prison system. The state said the murder plot started after Driver, an officer at the Department of Corrections Reception and Medical Center in Gainesville, rural north Florida, had a fight with the inmate.

In late 2014, authorities say Driver gave the Klan chapter, called a klavern, a photograph of the inmate, who'd been let out on supervised release. 'Both Driver and Moran ... told the (confidential informant) that they wanted (the inmate) 'six feet under',' the FBI's affidavit said. The informant recorded all three men making plans to murder the inmate, according to the affidavit. In the recordings, the men often refer to the inmate using a racial epithet. Their first attempt to find and kill the inmate failed and the informant recorded a conversation with Driver to confirm he still wanted him dead, the affidavit said. 'Do you want this guy terminated?' the informant asked. 'Yes sir,' Driver replied, according to the affidavit.

Although some of these are for harmless products such as Dolmio pasta sauce or hair dye, others are for Haribo, Coca-Cola and for an online gambling website, according to the Independent newspaper. Oliver's own company says it has a deal with YouTube that ensures that the chef's channel on the video sharing website actively stops sugary food and drinks from being promoted next to his videos. On Sunday, Brighton-based Zoella posted a video entitled 'Stuff Your Mouth' with ThatcherJoe (My Brother). The video showed the star and her sibling trying to guess what each other was saying while filling their mouth with marshmallows. The post has already attracted over 1.5million views. The video blogger describes herself on her Twitter profile as 'YouTuber, Blogger, Friend & Pizza Addict'. Last year, she published her book Girl Online, which recorded record sales for a first-time author. On the back of her social media success, Zoella has also created her own beauty line. Her boyfriend has achieved similar success with more than three million subscribers signing up to his YouTube channel. The couple share a \u00a31million Brighton home. Although the Advertising Standard Authority (ASA) currently prevents food that is high in fat, salt or sugar from being advertised on television shows that appeal to children under 16, there are no guidelines about video bloggers, despite their growing influence. Matt Wilson, spokesman for the ASA told FEMAIL that while 'television-like content' posted on YouTube was not yet subject to the same guidelines, the ASA was 'keeping an eye on the situation'. He said: 'A recently commissioned Independent Review into the impact of online advertising of food and soft drink products on children showed that the available evidence on advertising\u2019s impact on children\u2019s dietary choices is limited, and does not merit a change to the existing rules.' 'Where the TV and online rules differ is on scheduling. As the available evidence shows, media differ; with TV having the most persuasive, albeit a moderate, impact on children\u2019s food preferences. 'This is why there are currently scheduling restrictions on TV (for foods that are classed as \u2018high in fat salt or sugar\u2019) that don\u2019t apply online and", "summary": "The chef and healthy food campaigner's company said influential stars should be careful about adverts appearing next to their video posts .

The members of Wicked Pickets have taken this literally, arming themselves with spray cans and painting over Wicked Camper slogans as they find them.

It might seem like long bow to draw but when there are vans driving around saying that a wife is attachment to screw in the bedroom and suggesting it\u2019s all right to kidnap a women, it is really making a subtle suggestion that women are only good for sex and getting housework done,' she said.

The closures include Heald College campuses in California, Hawaii and Oregon, as well as Everest and WyoTech schools in California, Arizona and New York. Corinthian was one of the country's largest for-profit educational institutions. It collapsed last summer amid a cash shortage and fraud allegations and its closures are believed to be the biggest shutdown in the history of US higher education. Corinthian Colleges, which was one of the country's largest for-profit educational institutions and ran brands such as Everest and Heald, will close its schools after being fined $30million for misrepresenting job data . Corinthian CEO Jack Massimino (left) blamed regulators for his company's failure to sell its schools, which doubled revenue for the company up to $1.75billion between 2007 and 2011 . The Education Department contends that Corinthian failed to comply with requests to address allegations of falsifying job placement data and altering grades and attendance records. It agreed to sell or close its campuses under pressure from the department. Earlier in April, the department fined subsidiary Heald College, alleging the school had shown a pattern of falsifying post-graduation employment data. In one instance, the company's Honolulu campus declared a student had found work in her chosen field of accounting, even though administrators knew she was working at Taco Bell, the department said. The department found more than 900 incidents of false placement rates that were trumpeted to potential students and officials accrediting the schools, according to the Washington Post. The Department of Education also alleged that Corinthian would have staffing agencies temporarily hire its graduates so they could be counted as placements. Most of the company's former schools have been sold, and Corinthian attempted to sell Heald as well but was blocked by California attorney general Kamala Harris' refusal to provide prospective buyers with a release from liability.

Canna Companion, based in Sultan in Washington, uses hemp from the Cannabis sativa strain in its capsules and biscuits for both cats and dogs.

Stephen Howells, 39, and his 25-year-old girlfriend Nicole Vaisey, from Hermon, New York, were charged last summer with sexually exploiting the Amish girls and other children. They each face kidnapping and federal child exploitation charges after police say they abducted the girls, then seven and 12, from their family's farm roadside vegetable stand on August 13. On Tuesday, St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain said that the defendants were advised of the strength of the evidence and offered an agreement to plead guilty in both cases. Accused: Stephen Howells, 39, and his 25-year-old girlfriend Nicole Vaisey have been offered a plea deal after being charged last summer with sexually exploiting two Amish girls and other children . Guilty pleas would mean the victims wouldn't have to testify, including others who are not publicly known, which Rain said is one of her biggest concerns. She declined to disclose the terms offered so it is not clear how much time the duo would serve. Their federal trial has been reset for July 6 on charges they coerced minors to make pornographic videos, and they also face kidnapping charges in state court. The Amish girls were abducted from the stand in rural Oswegatchie, near the Canadian border. The incident touched off a massive search in the community of about 4,000 people, but authorities were hampered by a lack of photos of the girls. The Amish typically avoid modern technology, and the family had to work with an artist to produce a sketch of the older girl. Authorities say the girls were shackled to a bed and sexually abused before they were released 24 hours later and turned up safe at the door of a house in Bigelow, New York, belonging to Jeffrey and Pamela Stinson, who drove them home. Scene: The two girls, then aged seven and 12, were abducted from this farm roadside stand in August . Fears: Authorities can be seen at the family's farm after the abduction in Oswegatchie, near Canada's border . Heroic: A day after the girls were abducted and sexually assaulted, they were left at Jeffrey and Pamela Stinson's home 20 miles from their farm. The couple then returned the girls to their home . Howells, a registered nurse at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, and Vaisey, a former dog groomer, were arrested on August 15 after voluntarily going to the sheriff's office for an interview. This week, investigators told WWNY that Howells had planned to kill the girls and then bury their bodies to hide the crime but Vaisey convinced him to let them go. The original federal indictment said another young girl, now about 8 years old, also was sexually abused by the couple during the two-year span.

The company says it expects the new 'Artisan Grilled Chicken' to be in its more than 14,300 U.S. stores by the end of next week, in products including a new sandwich, as well as existing sandwiches, wraps and salads. It says the biggest change is the removal of sodium phosphates, which it said was used to keep the chicken moist, in favor of vegetable starch. The new recipe also does not use maltodextrin, which McDonald's said is generally used as a sugar to increase browning or as a carrier for seasoning. Jessica Foust, director of culinary innovation at McDonald's, said the changes were made because customers said they want 'simple, clean ingredients' they are familiar with.

Its 'Artisan Grilled Chicken' will be included in a new sandwich and existing menu items . The change comes as McDonald's fights to hold onto customers amid the growing popularity of places like Chipotle that position themselves as more wholesome alternatives to traditional fast-food. Already, that 'clean label' trend has prompted numerous restaurant chains and packaged food makers to reformulate products, even while standing by the safety and quality of their previous recipes. Subway also introduced a new grilled chicken recipe earlier this year that it said had no artificial flavors or preservatives. And Panera Bread has said it plans to purge artificial colors, flavors and preservatives from its food by 2016. As ingredient quality becomes a more powerful marketing advantage, executives at McDonald's have also been trying to freshen up the company's image and shake perceptions that it serves junk food. TV ads and signs in stores, for instance, are playing up the fact that Egg McMuffins are made with freshly cracked eggs. And last month, McDonald's announced it would start asking suppliers to curb the use of antibiotics in raising chickens. As for the new grilled chicken recipe, McDonald's said it will now be cooked with a blend of olive oil and canola oil, instead of liquid margarine.

A report said: \u2018Previous high demand in many areas caused house prices in England and Wales to soar, with many sellers now looking to cash in as a result of a particularly buoyant market. \u2018But as the market begins to cool, those looking to sell are doing so at increasingly unrealistic prices.\u2019 Last year, house prices rose by 8 per cent, according to Halifax, peaking at 10 per cent over the summer. But forecasts suggest prices will grow at a fraction of this rate this year. The study said a recent fall in activity in the housing market had also prompted some estate agents to over-value properties in a bid to secure custom from depleted numbers of sellers. It said some agents \u2018overvalue a property on purpose to win the business and get the seller on their books\u2019, knowing the price must later be knocked down significantly before it sells. Russell Quirk, of eMoov.co.uk, said: \u2018Unfortunately it\u2019s a common place practice in the high street sector. \u2018The agent is driven by a percentage fee so they will overprice a property to try their luck, win the business and increase their profit margins. A study found that Britons selling their properties refuse to admit the housing market has cooled and mistakenly believe they are sitting on a goldmine . \u2018Understandably the seller opts for the agent that claims they can get the highest price, as we are all motivated, to some extent, by money. \u2018Then as regular as clockwork the agent will ring them a few weeks down the line and \u2018advise\u2019 on a lower asking price in order to sell. \u2018But it is, in part, down to the seller. \u2018If someone has it in their head they should achieve x amount, they will list at this regardless of what advice they receive.\u2019 A survey of 2,000 sellers in England and Wales, carried out by eMoov, found that that more than half of sellers would list their property at a price recommended by their agent.

+{"article": "The panel that cleared Inverness defender Josh Meekings to play in the William Hill Scottish Cup final did not even consider his handball, the Scottish Football Association has revealed. Meekings saw his cup-final ban thrown out by a judicial panel tribunal on Thursday after Caley Thistle challenged his one-game suspension for denying Celtic an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberate handball. And it has emerged the Highland club's lawyers successfully argued that SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan had no right to bring the case because match officials had seen the incident where Meekings stopped a Leigh Griffiths header during his side's 3-2 win over Celtic on Sunday. Inverness defender Josh Meekings will be allowed to appear in Scottish Cup final after his ban was dismissed . Meekings was not sent off and no penalty was given as Inverness went on to beat Celtic 3-2 after extra-time . The SFA published the reasons given by the chair of the three-man panel. They read: 'Further to the judicial panel hearing yesterday involving Josh Meekings, the panel considered initial submissions from Mr Meekings' solicitor. 'In particular it was argued by him that under protocol 13.4.1.1 the judicial panel was not entitled to determine the matter. 'The panel considered that as the incident (but not the actual alleged sending-off offence of handball) had been seen by one or more of the officials it was not entitled to consider the matter further. PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart had warned before the verdict that the SFA was veering into dangerous territory . 'It accordingly dismissed the complaint without any consideration of the merits of the incident or the decision arrived at by the referee.' The decision could effectively blunt the SFA's powers to bring retrospective cases against players, unless an incident has been completely missed by all match officials. Players have previously been cited for diving to win penalties. The rule states that the compliance officer can bring cases for alleged sending-off offences 'not seen by match officials'. The Meekings case was brought because referee Steven McLean and his team had not seen the ball hit the defender's hand. PFA Scotland chief executive Fraser Wishart had warned before the verdict that the SFA was veering into dangerous territory. He said: 'I think you have seen this week from the reaction of players across the country, players have no problem with video evidence being used for incidents that genuinely haven't been seen by the referee. 'Maybe a punch behind the referee's back and fly kick when the ball is away. 'But we think, if the rule has been extended, then it is now erring into re-refereeing a game on a Monday. 'That's not the purpose of video evidence. That's why the English FA and FIFA and UEFA steer away from that. The referee could see the incident on Sunday, he just didn't see the handball.'", "summary": "Inverness defender Josh Meekings won appeal against one-match ban .

Called 'Uploader for Instagram', it allows users to upload photos to Instagram directly from their computer rather than using only their smartphone. Caleb Benn, a Californian high school student, has developed a $4.99 (\u00a33.24) app for iOS devices using Instagram's application program interface (screen shot pictured). Now, the 17 year-old student could face a battle with Instagram over hackings its API . According Jillian Eugenios at CNNMoney, the teenager is currently making $1,000 (\u00a3675.70) a day from the app \u2013 and Instagram isn't happy. An engineer from Facebook, which owns Instagram, sent Benn an email last week claiming the app violated the company's terms of service. The email asked Benn to 'fix' the app by Monday, but Benn said doing this would make the app would be pointless. 'To be honest, I wasn't nonplussed when I got the email from Facebook,' Benn told DailyMail.com. 'I knew my app was playing in a legal gray area, and I suspected Facebook would find out about it somehow.' Facebook has strict restrictions against using its private API. An engineer from Instagram allegedly sent Benn an email last week, claiming the app violated the company's terms of service. Pictured on the right is a screenshot of the 'Uploader for Instagram' service . Chris Messina, a Silicon Valley technologist told CNNMoney the problem is that accessing the API 'opens up possibilities for all kinds of abuse, from spambots or people uploading stuff from other channels.' One in five Instagram users now combine their photos into a single image before uploading it to the app. To capitalise on this, the Californian firm has launched its latest standalone app called Layout that lets people create such collages with up to nine images and 11 combinations. Photos can be selected from the phone's camera roll, or taken with the Photo Booth tool, and Layouts can then be 'remixed' and edited with mirror effects and flips. The Layout app has four main features called Faces, Mirroring, Photo Booth and Previews. Users begin by selecting as many images, up to the maximum of nine, to feature in the collage. Photos can be selected or deselected at any point. As they add more images, the layout of the collage changes and photos can be dragged between sections and different sized boxes as desired. These photos can then be zoomed, flipped to form a mirror image, or turned upside down. He added, if Instagram wanted users to post from a computer, they can do so themselves. 'I was initially inspired to create the app because I saw a sincerely lacking feature for the desktop,' Benn said. 'I know Instagram purposely left out the uploading feature from the web interface to keep the social network\u2019s unique, mobile-centered ecosystem intact. Instagram did release a web version of its software, called 'Your Instagram Feed on the Web' in February", "summary": "$4.99 (\u00a33.24) 'Uploader for Instagram' app was created by Caleb Benn .

Secret footage showed the former first minister, who is bidding to become an MP, mocking Labour after it slapped down its Scottish leader Jim Murphy, who claimed he would write the party's budget north of the border. 'I knew that [he wouldn't be writing it] already \u2013 because I'm writing the Labour Party budget,' Mr Salmond declared to cheers at a fundraising event. He also joked that he would 'check his top pocket' \u2013 a reference to a Conservative election poster showing a miniature Mr Miliband in his breast pocket. It prompted David Cameron and Boris Johnson to join forces to warn of a looming 'constitutional crisis'. They questioned the legitimacy of the SNP's plan to try to put Ed Miliband in Downing Street, even if Labour wins fewer seats at the Election. Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister had tweeted the footage of Mr Salmond with the message: 'This footage will shock you: Alex Salmond laughs & boasts he'll write Labour's budget. Vote Conservative to stop it.' Mr Cameron, in his first joint interview with the London Mayor, his chief rival to the Tory leadership, said: 'In the last 48 hours the SNP have said 'no money spent on defence projects unless you get rid of Trident'.

It's about sticking with a plan that's working or risking it with Ed Miliband. But frankly the stakes have got much higher because of what's happening in Scotland with the SNP potentially wiping out Labour. 'The way to avoid that outcome which would be unstable, bad for the economy, bad for jobs, bad for living standards, bad for this country's prospects, the way to avoid it is to vote Conservative.' The London Mayor, deployed to inject more passion into the Tory campaign, claimed it would mean 'truckfuls of taxpayers' dosh growling up the M1 to Scotland'. 'Lots of people ... people who might even have voted Labour ... will think that this is a constitutional crisis,' he added. Mr Johnson, who is seeking to return to the Commons in the West London seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip, also said a Labour government dependent on the SNP's support would be 'totally shambolic'. The SNP has declared it will never support the Conservatives in a hung parliament, but it is ready to do a deal with Labour, even if it finishes in second place. It would be the first time since 1924 that a second-placed party had formed a government. Mr Miliband dismissed Mr Salmond's claim in the footage as 'fantasy and nonsense'.

None of the medals have been earned in the colours of Racing, and filling that void in his check-list is a pressing priority. With a summer return to Dublin approaching, Sexton said: \u2018I was speaking to Ronan (O\u2019Gara \u2013 former Ireland team-mate and Racing\u2019s kicking coach) last week and saying, for me, for my two years here to be a success, we need to pick up a trophy. Whenever I come back to France, I want to be able to hold my head up high, say that I gave my best to Racing while I was here and helped the club achieve something.\u2019 The Parisian team are in the knock-out stages of Europe\u2019s elite event for the first time, but it is familiar territory for their Irish playmaker. Sexton has featured in 11 knock-out games in continental rugby and won the lot. It is a proud record that hadn\u2019t really occurred to him.

In and out: Thanks to a breath test, researchers claim there were able to detect the early stages of stomach cancer and also to distinguish between patients at high and low risk of developing the disease (stock image) Israeli researchers say the system is accurate, cheap \u2013 and allows patients to be monitored without using invasive procedures. The discovery comes as scientists in the US made a breakthrough that could lead a test to flag up the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer. A protein has been identified which seems to play a crucial role in the rapid growth of tumours. The breath test discovery is hoped to save thousands of lives. About 7,000 people develop stomach cancer in the UK each year and most of these cases are in the advanced stages when they are diagnosed. Research leader Professor Hossam Haick of the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute in Haifa, said: \u2018The attraction of this test lies in its non-invasiveness, ease of use, rapid predictiveness, insensitivity to confounding factors, and potentially low cost.\u2019 Breathe: The tscreening system spots chemical signals in exhaled air that are linked to tumour development (stock image) Previous research has found that other methods could be used to identify stomach cancer, but none looked at detecting pre-cancerous changes. In the study published online in the journal Gut, breath samples were taken from 484 people, including 99 already diagnosed with stomach cancer. They were analysed by so-called nanomaterial sensors, which are able to read a chemical signal or pattern linked with stomach cancer based on very small particles in a patient\u2019s breath. The test is so accurate it could detect the difference between early and late stage gastric cancers. The researchers hope the breath test could be used as an alternative to endoscopies, an invasive and expensive procedure to diagnose gastric cancers using a long flexible tube. A large trial involving thousands of patients, including those with stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes, is currently under way in Europe to test the technology\u2019s suitability as a screening method, they add. Meanwhile, US experts say the discovery of a new biomarker protein may one day lead to a test which differentiates men with aggressive prostate cancer from those with a less threatening form of the disease. The findings, published in the scientific journal Oncogene, raises hope of tests that deliver an accurate diagnosis from the outset. The results could lead to more targeted treatment for those with the worst cancers \u2013 and less treatment for men whose tumours are not dangerous.

Google is already the world\u2019s most popular phone software provider, and a pay-TV operator - and now it wants to be your mobile network carrier. The company has unveiled a U.S. wireless service that switches between Wi-Fi and cellular networks to curb data use and keep phone bills low. The service, called 'Project Fi,' debuted today, about two months after Google revealed its plans to expand its ever-growing empire into providing wireless connections for smartphones. Google is selling the basic phone service for $20 a month and will only charge customers for the amount of cellular data that they use each month, instead of a flat rate. Each gigabyte of data will cost $10 a month. That means a customer could sign up for a plan offering three gigabytes of data and get $20 back if only one gigabyte was used in a month. Most wireless phone carriers allow their customers to roll over unused data into another month of service without refunding any money. Project Wi-Fi initially will only be sold to a narrow US audience that owns the Nexus 6, a smartphone that Motorola Mobility made with Google's help. Google's pricing setup makes Project Fi less expensive than most of the comparable plans offering by the four biggest wireless phone carriers - Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. The monthly prices for a single line of smartphone service with up to one gigabyte of cellular data at those carriers range from $45 to $50 compared to $30 from Google. The major carriers, though, offer a variety of family plans that could still be better deals than Project Fi. Those bundled plans allow several phone lines to share a pool of cellular data. Scroll down for video . Besides trying to bring down the prices of wireless phone plans, Google is promising subscribers that their Nexus 6 model will automatically connect with the fastest network available. Rather than building its own network, Google is leasing space on cellular towers built by Sprint and T-Mobile, which are hoping the deals will boost their profits without costing them too many customers tempted to defect to Project Fi. To use the service, Nexus 6 owners must sign-up to request an invitation, must have a Gmail address, and must live in a US zip code within the coverage area.

Ukip, which will today unveil its manifesto, has reduced the number of constituencies where it is concentrating resources as it loses ground in the polls.

But Ukip campaign chiefs have now adopted a 'shotgun' approach with a far fewer targets. Mr Farage will this morning launch the party's manifesto in Thurrock, Essex. A Ukip source said: 'It will be a broad and open offer to those on low and middle incomes. That's something which no other party is doing.' Among the seats dropped from the list of hopefuls is Folkestone and Hythe, where candidate Janice Atkinson was replaced after allegations of fraudulent expenses claims. The target list includes South Thanet, where Mr Farage is standing, along with Clacton and Rochester and Strood, where Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless won by-elections after defecting from the Tories. The party also hopes to win in Thurrock, a tight three-way marginal where the Tories are defending a majority of just 92. Another focus is Heywood and Middleton, in Greater Manchester, where it narrowly lost a by-election to Labour last October. Ukip's election co-ordinator Chris Bruni-Lowe, who masterminded last year's by-election wins, is organising campaigns in the ten targets. The party is helping write campaign literature, organising mailshots to voters and putting up billboards, while other candidates are mostly being left to their own devices.

Throughout her incarceration, her family stood by her and protested her innocence, but Nueces County district attorney Mark Skurka had said shortly after she was released that he would push again for capital murder charges.

Hannah Overton (above wiping away tears with her daughter and son) will not be tried on murder charges again in the death of her adopted son . Overton's five children and husband Larry (above) were there to celebrate the news . In a news release however, Skura said that he would not be trying the case again due to 'a myriad of factors which came about after a careful review of the previous trial, re-interviewing some of the key witnesses, consulting with some of the medical experts involved in the case, reviewing evidence adduced at recent hearings and staffing the case with the current prosecutors assigned to the case.' A judge then granted Skura's motion to dismiss. 'Wow, we don't even know where to begin,' Overton said after hearing this news. 'We are so excited about all God has done in and through all of this. He has carried us through.' An appellate court's majority opinion to overturn Overton's conviction last year wrote that her trial was 'problematic from the beginning,' according to ABC News. Original prosecutor Sandra Eastwood was terminated for reasons unrelated to the original case years after Overton was convicted, and Overton has accused her of unprofessional conduct several times since. On a fateful day in October 2006, Burd, whose biological teenage mother was a Meth addict, started acting up and then vomited, telling Overton that he didn't feel well. When he said he felt cold, he took a warm bath but as his symptoms worsened, the Overtons took him to the Corpus Christi hospital for treatment. He died a day later from salt poisoning. A week after his death, murder charges were brought against the mother. The lead prosecutor in the case, Eastwood, portrayed Overton as a frazzled care giver that had force fed Andrew cajun seasoning as a form of punishment, which caused the sodium poisoning. But during the trial, the defense said the boy's death was accidental and was likely due to a medical condition, pica, that can cause a person to crave non-edible salty items like clay, sand or dirt.

Until now doctors have assumed that the brains of very young babies are not developed enough to feel pain. It means that newborns often go without painkillers, even during invasive procedures. But the new findings, revealed by Oxford University doctors, suggest that not only do babies feel pain, but their pain thresholds are even lower than those of adults. Scroll down for video . Research on infants\u2019 brains by doctors from Oxford University has found that young babies are more sensitive to pain than adults. It overturns the medical consensus that newborns have a high pain threshold (file picture) In the first study of its kind, the researchers showed in brain scans that infants\u2019 brains react in much the same way as adults when given even mild pain. Dr Rebeccah Slater, of Oxford\u2019s department of Paediatrics, said: \u2018Obviously babies can\u2019t tell us about their experience of pain and it is difficult to infer pain from visual observations. \u2018In fact some people have argued that babies\u2019 brains are not developed enough for them to really \u201cfeel\u201d pain, any reaction being just a reflex \u2013 our study provides the first really strong evidence that this is not the case.\u2019 The results, published in the journal eLife, suggest that it is possible to see pain \u2018happening\u2019 inside the infant brain - and it looks a lot like pain in adults. Up until the 1980s it was common practice for babies to go without pain relief during surgery - they were given neuromuscular blocks to stop them moving, but otherwise were given no pain medication. A landmark study in 1987 suggested for the first time that doctors may have been wrong in their assumptions, and anaesthetics were introduced for major operations. But injections are still given and intravenous drips still inserted without pain relief, and far more serious procedures carried out anything to take away the child\u2019s pain. Even this year, NHS guidelines are still being written that advise doctors to carry out seemingly painful procedures without anything more than \u2018a cuddle\u2019.

The NHS guidelines, updated in January 2015, advise that when the tongue is sliced from the mouth\u2019s floor, infants do not need medication. Older babies who have already teethed should be given a general anaesthetic, doctors are told. But the guidelines say: \u2018In small babies, being cuddled and fed is more important than painkillers.\u2019 Dr Slater called for a review of the way tiny babies are treated. \u2018Thousands of babies across the UK undergo painful procedures every day but there are often no local pain management", "summary": "Young babies are more sensitive to pain than adults, according to study .

Fight fire with fire: Mila Kunis has responded to Kristina Karo's accusations she stole her chicken as a child, with a video claiming she will counter-sue for injuries sustained while watching Karo's music video .

'I was devastated. I was weeping. I was dumbfounded. I was like \"which chicken did I steal?\" because I was obviosly in the village when I stole these chickens. So I apologise to this woman who was maybe or maybe not a month old,' she said.

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 .

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.

Historians estimate up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks, an event widely viewed by scholars as a genocide. Turkey, however, denies that the deaths constituted genocide because it was not an ethnic-driven battle and says the death toll has been inflated. Democratic Rep.

The couple, who had been married for 53 years, sat down in their conservatory in Eastbourne, East Sussex, with a glass of wine each and fired up the barbecue to heat up the room. An elderly couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning after lighting a barbecue in their home (pictured) to keep warm during a power cut, an inquest heard . The conservatory quickly filled with smoke and within minutes the couple were unconscious after choking on the fumes. They couple laid dead for 16 days before their son, Andrew Charles, raised the alarm on December 11 and police searched the property, Hastings Magistrates' Court heard. Maintenance work by UK Power Networks caused the power cut, the inquest was told. Mr Charles said his parents often went on holiday abroad and neighbours said the pair 'kept themselves to themselves', so it was not unusual for them to go weeks without contact. The son's statement to the hearing read: 'They loved their holidays, faithful friends and their grandchildren. They were happy and in love after 53 years of marriage.' East Sussex deputy coroner Christopher Wilkinson recorded a conclusion of accidental death. They couple laid dead at their home on Cedar Close, Eastbourne, for 16 days before their son found them . Carbon monoxide poisoning is often caused by people lighting barbecues inside tents, with campers warned not to use them in enclosed spaces. Official advice from Public Health England on carbon monoxide poisoning states: 'The potentially deadly gas, which you can\u2019t taste, smell or see, is produced when fossil fuels or wood burn without enough oxygen. 'Several campsite deaths have been linked to carbon monoxide poisoning from barbecues in recent years. The gas can build up quickly to potentially fatal levels in enclosed spaces such as tents or caravans.' Sheila Merril, public health adviser at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said: 'Carbon monoxide (CO) is particularly dangerous because it has no colour, smell or taste. It is therefore easy to inhale without realising it. 'CO poisoning is caused by faulty or badly-serviced gas and other fossil fuel-burning appliances and systems. Barbecues should not be used indoors as this can lead to a build up of CO. 'To remain safe, families need to ensure that gas and fossil fuel appliances are serviced regularly and know the signs of CO poisoning, which include prolonged flu-like symptoms or coal or wood fires that burn slowly or go out.' Symptoms can include headaches, drowsiness and nausea, causing some victims to believe they have a minor illness, such as a cold or food poisioning, or are even just sleepy. However long exposure to the toxic fumes can have severe consequences, including unconsciousness and death.", "summary": "Patrick and Marianne Charles lit the barbecue as their heating was cut off .

+{"article": "Whether or not a person suffers hearing loss due to loud noise may depend on their genes, research suggests. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses and members of the armed forces are particularly vulnerable. In 2013, the US Department of Veterans Affairs reported hearing loss as one of the most common ailments among veterans receiving disability compensation. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses, doctors have warned . Now, however, scientists at the University of Southern California believe they have made a breakthrough in their understanding of the condition. They have identified a gene, named Nox3, found in the inner ear, that is crucial in determining how vulnerable a person is to developing hearing loss. Their research, looking at the DNA of mice exposed to noise, is the first published genome-wide association study on noise-induced hearing loss in mice. As a result of the findings, those at higher, genetic risk for hearing loss can decide whether to take precautionary measures to protect their hearing prior to hazardous noise exposure, the study authors say. 'Understanding the biological processes that affect susceptibility to hearing loss due to loud noise exposure is an important factor in reducing the risk,' said lead study author Professor Rick Friedman. 'We have made great advances in hearing restoration, but nothing can compare to protecting the hearing you have and preventing hearing loss in the first place.' Scientists have identified a gene, named Nox3, found in the inner ear, that is crucial in determining how vulnerable a person is to developing hearing loss . While some gene association studies on noise-induced hearing loss in people have been conducted in the past, all were very small and their results unreplicated. Genome wide association studies search the entire DNA for common mutations to see if any of those are linked with a trait. Mouse genome wide association studies have lead to the discovery of hundreds of genes involved in complex traits that have immediate relevance to people. The study was published in the journal PLOS Genetics.

Dries Mertens checked back on to his right foot from wide on the left and delivered an inch-perfect ball over the top for Higuain, who was just onside. The Argentine striker brought the ball under control with what looked like a combination of chest and upper arm before firing past Diego Benaglio with the outside of his right foot - his seventh of the competition. The Wolfsburg defenders were rightly aggrieved but their protestations fell on deaf ears as the referee waved away their handball appeals. They could have no complaints seven minutes later, however, as Hamsik broke clear of the Wolves' backline to apply a composed finish to a slick, flowing move that ended with Higuain's defence-splitting pass. Gonzalo Higuain gave Napoli the lead with a smart finish via the outside his foot after 15 minutes . Slovakian Hamsik doubled the Italians lead midway through the first half to put them firmly in control . The Napoli captain celebrates in front of the travelling supporters after finishing off a fine move . Wolfsburg almost halved the deficit on the stroke of half-time.

But send information into a black hole, and it's lost forever \u2013 or at least that's what many physicists have been arguing for nearly half a decade. Now, one scientist says this may not be true, and that interactions between particles emitted by a black hole can reveal information about what lies within. For nearly 40 years, physicists have argued that black holes suck in information and then evaporate without leaving behind any clues as to what they once contained. Now, one scientist says this may not be true . 'According to our work, information isn't lost once it enters a black hole,' says Dejan Stojkovic, an associate professor of physics at the University at Buffalo. 'It doesn't just disappear.' His new paper presents explicit calculations demonstrating how information is preserved, he says. This is an important discovery because even physicists who believed information remains in black holes have struggled to show, mathematically, how this happens. The research marks a significant step toward solving the 'information loss paradox,' a problem that has plagued physics for almost 40 years, says Dr Stojkovic. The paradox posed a huge challenge for the field of physics because it meant that information inside a black hole could be permanently lost when the black hole disappeared. Last year, Hawking revised his theory by declaring that black holes were in fact 'grey'. The grey hole theory would allow matter and energy to be held for a period of time before being released back into space . In the 1970s, Stephen Hawking proposed that black holes were capable of radiating particles, and that the energy lost through this process would cause the black holes to shrink and eventually disappear. But last year, Hawking revised his theory by declaring that black holes were in fact 'grey' The grey hole theory would allow matter and energy to be held for a period of time before being released back into space. He says that the idea of an event horizon, from which light cannot escape, is flawed. He suggests that instead light rays attempting to rush away from the black hole\u2019s core will be held as though stuck on a treadmill and that they can slowly shrink by spewing out radiation. Hawking told the journal Nature: 'There is no escape from a black hole in classical theory. [But quantum theory] enables energy and information to escape from a black hole'. A full explanation of the process, Hawking admits, would require a theory that successfully merges gravity with the other fundamental forces of nature. This is a violation of quantum mechanics, which states that information must be conserved.

Experts told MailOnline that five million people are expected to fall victim to the symptoms - which include streaming eyes, incessant sneezing and irritating itches at the back of the throat - for the first time. Around 20 million people in the UK are expected to suffer hayfever symptoms this summer, up a third from last year, experts told MailOnline . And by 2030 that figure is expected to surge to 31.8 million sufferers. Dr Jean Emberlin, a leading pollen expert, told MailOnline that a 33 per cent rise in the number of people struck by hayfever this year could occur, 'depending on weather conditions'. She said: 'If we get prolonged periods of warm, dry weather with intervals of some wet weather between, which helps the grass to keep growing, we will experience a lot of high grass pollen counts. 'Grass is the main culprit pollen for hayfever in the UK. 'High and very high pollen counts can trigger hayfever symptoms in people who have not had them before. She added: 'In addition, the good weather typically brings increases in air pollution, which can make symptoms worse, and again lead them to occur in people who have been symptom free before.' In addition, she said pollen is becoming more potent, and greater numbers of plants giving off the allergens is also contributing to a rising number of sufferers. Dr Emberlin said another contributing factor is that the average hayfever season is becoming longer, typically stretching from April to the end of August. She added: 'There is substantial evidence from pollen monitoring records and from vegetation surveys to show that the timing of some of the pollen seasons has been changing in the UK and across Europe over the last few decades. Hayfever seasons in the UK are becoming longer, as warmer weather in spring and autumn means pollen is typically rife from March to the end of August . 'In addition there has been a trend to longer pollen seasons and increasing pollen loads of some types. 'Globally, average surface temperatures have increased by about 0.7\u00b0C over the past 100 years, leading to earlier plant growth in many regions. 'The trend towards warming has been more pronounced in winter months, resulting in more changes in the timing of spring pollen seasons than those of summer and autumn.' Hayfever is an allergic reaction to pollen and spores. It happens when the immune system mistakes these harmless airborne particles to be a danger and launches a defence against them.

Passengers travelling from Charlbury, the Oxfordshire station nearest to his constituency home, can currently purchase an off-peak return to London costing \u00a333.30. This allows them to leave at 9.42am, outside the morning peak, but return on one of the four services that go from London during the evening peak period. But from May 17, these customers will be forced to pay \u00a362.40 if they want to come home on one of these trains - an 87 per cent increase. The planned changes have angered Mr Cameron's constituents - prompting him to personally intervene. 1. First Great Western . Line: London to Hereford . Potential increase: 87% . 2. Virgin . Line: Stafford to Liverpool . Potential increase: 24.5% . 3. London Midlands . Line: Crewe to Northampton . Potential increase: 23% . The Prime Minister's spokesman told The Sunday Times: 'Mr Cameron has written to First Great Western and asked them to urgently review their decision.' Train companies have three windows every year in which they can increase 'unregulated' fares, which make up around half of their total revenue. Unregulated fares can include journeys such as off-peak leisure and advance-purchase tickets. First Great Western has insisted the reason for the change is to bring the north Cotswolds route in line with its other services. The firm is also offering some customers a cheaper option in advanced single tickets, potentially allowing them to buy a return for \u00a320 if they book ahead. Other sharp price hikes to be introduced include an off-peak first-class single from Crewe to Northampton on London Midlands, which will rise from \u00a330 to \u00a337, according to trainsplit.com - a website that provides passengers with cheaper ticket options. The cost of an anytime return between Stafford and Liverpool, travelling with Virgin, will leap from \u00a326.50 to \u00a333 - a 24.5 per cent hike. Biggest hike: Passengers travelling with the rail firm between London and the Cotswolds could face increases of up to 87 per cent come May 17 . And an anytime first-class day return on Virgin from Manchester to Stoke will go up 22 per cent - rising from \u00a329 to \u00a335.30. Virgin has said the 'vast majority' of its price hikes affected 'Virgin Trains-only fares' - which are at least 20 per cent cheaper", "summary": "PM has written to First Great Western asking for 'urgent review' of fare hike .

The film was postponed because senior management at the college did not want to create animosity or tension among its students. However they appear to have done just the opposite. Following complaints from the RPI\u2019s Muslim Students\u2019 Association a number of students have said the postponement was an act of censorship and an attack on free speech, Fox News reported. While the film grossed a total of $540 million it also drew criticism for its depiction of Iraqis . A statement from the university explained the aim of the screening, coupled with the now scheduled educational forum, was to allow students in the campus community to \u2018participate in an intellectual discourse about the film and current world events\u2019. American Sniper, a film by Clint Eastwood about US Navy Seal sharp-shooter Chris Kyle the most deadly sniper in US history, has courted controversy since it was first shown in the US in November. While the film grossed an international total of $540 million it also drew criticism for its depiction of Iraqis. It was also accused of stoking racial hatred after screenings of the film led to a rise in threats against Americans of Middle Eastern origin and even some attacks on Muslims outside movie theaters. Earlier this month the University of Michigan flip-flopped over whether or not it would show the film on its campus. The college pulled a screening over student complaints but quickly did an about-face after news of the cancellation sparked a firestorm on campus. The school released statement saying the decision to cancel had not been consistent with the high value it placed on freedom of expression. Navy Seal and Iraq war veteran Chris Kyle, depicted in the film, was killed at a shooting range in Texas . The school's vice president for student life, E. Royster Harper, acknowledged that it was \u2018a mistake\u2019 to call off the screening. \u2018The movie will be shown at the originally scheduled time and location,\u2019 Harper\u2019s statement read. \u2018We recognize, however, that some students are uncomfortable with the content of the movie, and appreciate that concern.\u2019 An Alternative screening of the Paddington Bear movie was offered to those students who did not want to watch the American Sniper.

+{"article": "From the moment Jack Johnson beat Tommy Burns to win the world heavyweight title in 1908, a frenzied search began. While Johnson's victory wouldn't raise an eyebrow nowadays, it caused consternation in America for one simple reason: Johnson was black \u2014 and a black man had never held sport's greatest prize. Racism was rife in America: black people were not supposed to rule over whites in any sphere of life. As the great boxing pundit Bert Sugar put it, 'This was the white man's crown. (To white America), it was as if the white man's slave had become his master.' After beating Tommy Burns in 1908, Jack Johnson became the first ever black world heavyweight champion . It is difficult to convey to a reader in 2015 the shockwaves that Johnson's victory caused. Even liberal newspapers, such as The New York Times, were openly hostile to the giant Texan. It mattered little that Johnson was American. His skin was deemed the wrong colour and a great cry went up from white America to find a white challenger \u2014 a 'Great White Hope' \u2014 who could unseat the new champion. But little did white America know that it would take over six years before Johnson would be defeated, on April 5, 1915, 100 years ago on Sunday. Most had believed Johnson would be dispatched quickly. However, he made short work of his first four title defences, his most notable victory coming over world middleweight champion Stanley Ketchel who made the massive step up in weight and even managed to knock Johnson down. Yet Johnson had been fighting in second gear until that point and, as soon as he returned to his feet, scored a brutal knockout, uprooting several of Ketchel's teeth in the process. Attention immediately turned to finding another 'white hope'. There seemed an obvious choice: former world heavyweight champion James J Jeffries, who had retired undefeated in 1904. Jeffries, who as champion had dodged Johnson, was seen as someone who could quickly defeat the title holder and return things to the way they were. Things didn't go as planned. Six years out of the ring had taken its toll on Jeffries and in 1910 Johnson stopped the former champion in 15 rounds, further enraging whites who rioted, taking out their anger on blacks who had the temerity to celebrate Johnson's win. As many as 26 black people would be killed by lynch mobs. What made Johnson even more unbearable to white America was the way he lived his life. A fun-loving character, Johnson dated and married white women, and refused to live according to the social norms of the time. He was intelligent, eloquent and ambitious and saw no reason why his being black should hold him back from doing whatever he wanted.

The Red Devils were hanging onto a 12-8 interval lead when Jones-Bishop struck on the hour to help his club leapfrog the Warriors into third place in the table. Both sides ended the match with 12 men as tempers flared during the Super League match . But Salford forward Weller Hauraki, already facing a ban after an incident at Huddersfield in Friday, and John Bateman were sent off two minutes from time for trading punches after the pair had already been sin binned following an earlier flare up.

The long-awaited victory was particularly sweet for the the three former Wigan players in the Red Devils ranks - Scott Taylor, skipper Harrison Hansen and try scorer Michael Dobson.

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon claimed the Labour leader was willing to trade away Britain's nuclear deterrent in order to secure power in a backroom deal with the Scottish Nationalists. Mr Miliband said the Conservative campaign had 'descended into the gutter' and claimed David Cameron 'should be ashamed'. Deeply personal: Defence Secretary Michael Fallon claimed Ed Miliband is 'so desperate' for power he is willing to weaken UK defences to win support from SNP . He confirmed that a Conservative government would go ahead with four new Trident nuclear missile submarines to replace the existing fleet, at a cost of \u00a3100billion. Labour rushed to say it was also backing four submarines, despite Ed Balls last month saying he was examining the idea of cutting it to three. Doubt has been cast on Labour's commitment to the deterrent because Mr Miliband could be forced to rely on the SNP support to form a government. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has made clear that scrapping the Trident missile system, which is based in Scotland, would be a red line for her propping up a Labour government in Westminster. Mr Fallon launched a highly personal attack on Mr Miliband, saying it was an issue of trust and leadership. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'We need to be absolutely clear when we come to this decision in the next parliament.

In a speech today, he said: 'Ed Miliband stabbed his own brother in the back to become Labour leader. Now he is willing to stab the United Kingdom in the back to become prime minister.' Mr Fallon will insist the Tories would 'never' do a deal on the future of Trident in another coalition \u2013 and that a man prepared to stab his brother in the back to win the Labour leadership cannot be trusted not to risk the nation's security.

Jerry Grayson, who lives in Melbourne but is originally from Arundel, Sussex, set himself the task of tracking down every aircraft he ever flew as part of Royal Navy rescue missions during the 1970s. The 59-year-old, who now designs aerial stunts for films, was once the youngest pilot to join the navy and was responsible for saving 15 yachtsmen during the doomed Fastnet Yacht Race in 1979. Former Royal Navy rescue pilot Jerry Grayson, who was involved in rescuing sailors during the Fastnet Yacht Rescue in 1979 (pictured), has tracked down every aircraft he flew in during the 1970s .

The Mark 1, called Wessex XS 886, now resides between a gypsy caravan and an old Routemaster bus in Blackberry Wood campsite near Ditchling, Sussex. Mr Grayson said: 'It's bizarre that it's now being used to sleep in. If I'd fallen asleep in a Mark 1 35 years ago, it would have cost me my life. It didn't feel like three decades ago that I'd last set foot inside. 'But when I looked at all the switches and dials I realised I can't remember how to start the thing.'

+{"article": "To mark the point at which Manchester United's season really began to turn around, you have to go back further than the win against Tottenham last month. The truth is that a dark, cold night at Preston North End in mid-February is more significant. United were poor that night in the FA Cup at Deepdale, coming from behind to win. That, however, was the night Wayne Rooney was restored to a centre-forward position, the night Louis van Gaal finally began to realise the best place from which his best player and captain should lead was from the front. Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has been returned to his preferred position up front . The 29-year-old had previously been deployed in midfield this season and United had struggled . Now, manager Louis van Gaal (left) looks set to unleash an in-form Rooney on Manchester City on Sunday . United actually lost their next game at Swansea but have subsequently won their next five in the league, with Rooney scoring four times. Incredibly, given the pattern of this season, they head into Sunday's derby game with Manchester City as slight favourites. Prior to that night in Lancashire, Rooney was on the verge of knocking on his manager's door to ask for an explanation about his deployment in the centre of midfield. It seemed as though Van Gaal was about to experience his first very real problem at Old Trafford. Whether he sniffed something in the air, we will never know. But Van Gaal performed a sharp volte face at just the right time and Rooney has gone on to become the most significant figure in United's return to relevance. At Old Trafford, just as he has since Cristiano Ronaldo left for Real Madrid almost six years ago, Rooney represents the most serious threat to City's prospects. Prior to the win over Tottenham, Rooney stood before his team-mates in Manchester's Lowry Hotel and delivered an impassioned call to arms. He is once more the central figure at his club, in more ways than one. 'I think some people mix up scoring goals with form,' said Van Gaal yesterday. 'For us Wayne is very important as a player, as a captain and because he can score goals. But he can do that from midfield, too. The last goal he scored \u2014 against Aston Villa \u2014 came when he was playing in midfield.' Van Gaal's mid-season deployment of Rooney in midfield remains a sensitive subject. No coach likes to admit he may have been wrong. All that matters now, though, is the 29-year-old's current trajectory, which is undoubtedly upwards. His name is written right through recent derby history of course. He is the fixture's record goalscorer and the scorer of one of its most spectacular goals, that remarkable overhead kick back in 2011 that some City supporters, rather oddly, still maintain came off his shin. Previously there had been the transfer saga of autumn 2010. Courted heavily by City as he prevaricated over a new United contract, Rooney most definitely had his head turned.

The culprits behind the Hatton Garden raid (pictured) may have carried out a similarly audacious burglary just two years earlier in Berlin, it has emerged . In a case which has strikingly similar traits to the \u00a360m heist in London, thieves targeted 294 security vaults during a break-in at the Volksbank in Steglitz, Berlin, in January 2013 . It now appears that the Berlin heist bore all the hallmarks of the Easter weekend raid in London. During that near-identical raid - one of the biggest in London's jewellery quarter - 71 security boxes were raided before the gang made off with wheelie bins full of precious stones. The incidents - both of which involved the use of heavy duty drills - enthralled the nation, capturing the public's imagination with each new detail that emerged. During the Berlin theft, robbers are believed to have spent several weeks tunnelling 100ft underground, before drilling through 3ft of concrete walls to break into a bank's strongroom. Police were stumped when they discovered a giant hole cut through the wall with what appeared to be four cylindrical devices. Likewise, robbers in London used a heavy duty drill to bore holes into a reinforced, two-metre-thick wall so they could gain access to the safety deposit boxes. It came after the raiders broke into the building on the second floor, disabling the lift before lowering themselves down the shaft and breaking into the basement. Suspects caught on CCTV during the London heist were also dressed as construction workers - a tactic used in the Berlin raid . In a similar fashion to the German heist, the burglars timed their raid over the Easter bank holiday, entering after the premises emptied on Thursday night and leaving on Easter Sunday . The men then climbed back up to the ground floor to let other gang members in through a side entrance, before all making their way to the vaults where they drilled their way inside. In both cases, police are investigating the possibility of an insider helping the thieves. In London, there was no sign of a forced entry through the fire exit door into the company's premises, indicating they had a key or that someone had let them in from the inside. And in Berlin, police said the thieves had expert knowledge of the layout of the vaults, reiterated by the time they were afforded to create their all-important tunnel.

Now the final two teens have reached an agreement after initially refusing to say sorry - reportedly paying $950,000 to the devastated family. As part of the settlement, they were also made to release a lengthy apology and will have to give presentations about 'sexting', sharing nude photos, 'slut-shaming' and the dangers of alcohol. The pair said: 'We apologize that we said things that made it seem like Audrie invited or encouraged these acts.

That taking advantage of an incapacitated human being is a crime each and every time. They also said they would participate and support a petition to to the Saratoga High School Administration to give Audrie an honorary diploma, because their 'actions contributed to prevent her from graduating. During a hearing on Friday, the boys stood up and apologized to the courtroom, including Audrie's parents, to mark the signing of the agreement. According to the San Jose Mercury, one of them said: 'I wish Audrie was still here, and I miss her a lot. She was a great person who didn't deserve anything that happened to her due to my actions.

But while most girls grow out of their yearning for tumbling tresses, not everyone ditches the extra-long look when they hit adulthood. As hair extensions soar in popularity on the red carpet, the number of middle-aged women with very long natural hair is on the rise, according to beauty experts. Scroll down for video . From left to right: Fiona Steane is 50 with 3ft long hair, Sarah Rihal is also 50 and has 3ft 5in of hair, Melanie Brown is 60 and has 4ft long hair and Vanessa Thorpe is 40 with 2ft 10in of hair . And recently, supermodel Twiggy stood up for older women with long locks. \u2018It makes me crazy when people say you have to cut your hair short once you hit 50,\u2019 she said. \u2018I saw a woman the other day in her late 70s with silver hair down to her waist. I thought, \u201cGood on you, girl.\u201d\u2019 Here, some of Britain\u2019s real-life Rapunzels show off their locks \u2014and explain why they\u2019d never consider going for the chop\u2026 . MY HAIR GETS STUCK IN CAR DOORS . Fiona Steane, 50, is an artist . She lives in London with her husband of 20 years, Christopher, 48, a banker, and their 17-year-old daughter, Amelia. Fiona Steane, 50, (pictured) wanted to cut all her hair off when she was 15 but her mother refused and she's had it long ever since then and gets it trimmed twice a year . My mother always kept my hair long. She had very long hair and she liked me to have it that way, too. I was dancing back then, so it was easier to have it long and whip it up into a bun. When I was 15, I wanted to cut it all off and my mother refused \u2014 so it\u2019s been this way ever since. I don\u2019t like watching people getting their hair cut and I hate hairdressers. I couldn\u2019t even watch my husband getting his hair cut recently \u2014 there\u2019s something about it that makes me feel sick. I get it trimmed, just getting rid of the split ends, twice a year. Then I have a conditioning treatment, which takes up to six hours but feels amazing afterwards. I don\u2019t have a hairdryer. I\u2019ve never used one. I don\u2019t colour my hair. I don\u2019t straighten it. I just shampoo, condition and leave. It\u2019s pure laziness. This might look like it takes a lot of work but in reality I don\u2019t have to do anything. I do make sure I use specialist hair products for long hair. When it comes to conditioner, I slather loads of it on. This keeps it nice and smooth. My cut-off point \u2014 when I know it\u2019s got too long \u2014 is when I can sit on it. It gets stuck in car doors and it\u2019s always in the way.

A tiny ten by six mile speck in the South Atlantic 1,200 miles from the coast of West Africa, it lay undiscovered for around 14 million years able to evolve its own unique flora and fauna untouched by the outside world. But almost from the moment Portuguese explorer Juan de Nova was blown there by the Trade Winds in 1502 it assumed an importance out of all proportion to its size. Jamestown is the capital of the South Atlantic island of Saint Helena, discovered by in 1502 by Juan de Nova . It was a key stopping place for the ships of the East India Company and other vessels - at its peak it serviced a thousand a year. It played a role in both slavery and its abolition: when the trade became illegal it was the base from which the British sought to capture the perpetrators and free their human cargo. And it was the place to which Napoleon was exiled after his defeat at Waterloo. The emperor who had escaped Elba was not going to get away so easily from the most isolated place on earth. Framed by cragged volcanic cliffs soaring 800 metres (2,600 feet) above sea level, the island is just 122 square kilometres in total . The island, which is smaller than central Paris has just 4,200 inhabitants - and 850 of them live in the small capital of Jamestown . Early next year a \u00a3218m airport will open and make this British Overseas Territory no longer quite so isolated. At the moment though the only way to get there is still by sea and for most that means the RMS St. Helena. This Royal Mail Ship is the island\u2019s lifeline. It carries in all its supplies and up to 150 passengers who range from returning or departing Saints (as the residents are known) to tourists with a taste for something different as well as, more recently, construction workers, entrepreneurs and conservation experts. Early next year, an airport will open on the island. The \u00a3218 million project will make this British Overseas Territory far more accessible . Once the airport is open in February 2016, the ship service - which takes five days from Cape Town - will be retired . Here, the runway of the future airport is visible. The upcoming airport will be located in the Prosperous Bay Plain area of the island . This means it\u2019s a ship of two halves: the front laden with dozens of huge containers, the back a sun deck where we take dips in the little swimming pool and play quoits, shuffleboard, skittles and passengers v. crew cricket. In between are a couple of lounges with bars where travellers can listen to talks and watch films. These are not compulsory, of course, and many of the Saints for whom the voyage is basically just a bus service sit and watch benignly.

Mr Snowden may have been told not to speak out on Russian surveillance but continue attacking America in order to save himself from jail in the US, Andrei Soldatov said. He accused the former US spy of not being \u2018transparent\u2019 and said he was being \u2018secretive\u2019 about his arrangements with the Russian authorities. Edward Snowden is being \u2018exploited\u2019 under a deal he made with the Russians to guarantee him asylum, a leading spy analyst has claimed . After Mr Snowden, 31, revealed himself in June 2013 as the civilian CIA worker who stole a vast tranche of classified documents, he fled to Hong Kong and then Russia where he was given asylum. The decision by Russian President Vladimir Putin was seen as a snub to US President Barack Obama at a time when relations between the two countries are strained. But the details of the arrangement have never been made public, and Mr Snowden has never addressed them. Mr Soldatov, who runs a website which is an online watchdog of Mr Putin\u2019s intelligence agencies, spoke out in an interview with the Daily Beast, a US news and culture website. Mr Soldatov is also an author, investigative journalist and analyst who has been working on the Russian security state for a decade.

Nothing happens when the icon for it is clicked, but for a short while it was listed as a snowboard shop, open between 5am and 11pm, according to thenextweb.com.

He said: \u2018I think there is some sort of a deal with the Russian authorities. \u2018It seems Snowden insisted that he\u2019d never be used by Russian propaganda. \u2018He never made it onto (Russian TV station) RT or other state media outlets and of course they would be happy to have him. \u2018He\u2019s clearly being exploited - after all, many repressive measures on the Internet in Russia were presented to Russians as a response to Snowden\u2019s revelations.\u2019 Mr Snowden is still a wanted man in the US where, if he returns, he will face espionage charges that could see him jailed for life if convicted.

Clinton claimed on Wednesday that all of her grandparents 'came over' from other countries, but in fact only one was born outside the US . Hillary was participating in a staged 'roundtable' discussion about small business issues in Norwalk, Iowa .

And a lot of them now have children who are American citizens, and they are doing the best they can to try to make a good life for themselves and their families.'

According to the two pensioners, the man initially attempted to get his hands on the contents of Mrs Seabrook's scooter basket, before grabbing Mrs Mason by the arm and reaching for her carrier bag. However, the would-be robber was soon to regret his action, as Mrs Mason shouted 'Oh, no you don't,' and slammed on the accelerator of her scooter.

The whales, which are in fact a species of dolphin, were found washed up along a 6-mile (10km) stretch of the Pacific coast of Hokato, around 60 miles (100km) north of Tokyo. Although officials are still investigating the cause of the strandings, they triggered rumours on social media of an impending earthquake. Scroll down for video . More than 160 melon-headed whales washed onto two beaches at Hokota city, north-east of Tokyo . The fears appeared to be based on the appearance of 50 melon-headed whales six days before the devastating undersea earthquake in 2011 that caused a tsunami and left 19,000 people dead. However, experts have dismissed the claims as being 'unscientific'. For centuries there have been accounts of animals behaving bizarrely before earthquakes. Now scientists have filmed the behaviour of wild animals prior to a quake and believe their study could help improve short-term seismic forecasting. They found that animals in Peru - such as pumas and razor-billed curassow birds - ran for cover days before the event. Researchers believe that the changes in behaviour may be linked to airborne ions. Led by Dr Rachel Grant of Anglia Ruskin University, experts used data gathered from a series of motion-triggered cameras located in the Yanachaga National Park in Peru. The research found that significant changes in animal behaviour began 23 days before the magnitude 7.0 Contamana earthquake that struck the region in 2011. On a typical day, the cameras would record between five and 15 animal sightings. However, within the two-day period in the run-up to the earthquake, they recorded five or fewer sightings. Instead they believe the melon-headed whales may have suffered a parasitic infection. Others believe the sandy shoals around Hokato city may have also made the animal's sonar ineffective. Toshiaki Kishiro, head of Cetacean Resources at Japan's National Research Institute of Far Seas Fisheries, said while it was possible the whales frightened by disturbances in the Earth's electromagnetic field caused by movement in the tectonic plates - there were was no firm evidence of this. Speaking to the Telegraph he said: 'This area of Japan has had many similar cases of beachings in the past, and especially of this species, so we are trying to find out why it happens.' He added that the animals, which measure two to three metres in length, could have been trying to avoid predators like killer whales and come too close to the shore. However, despite attempts to reassure the public, social media sites like Twitter have been ablaze with rumours of an impending earthquake. One Twitter user wrote: 'Is the next one coming? Be ready for a quake.' The whales first began to appear on the beach last week but officials said they had discovered eight more bodies today. Local residents had rushed to the beaches with buckets and towels in an attempt to help keep the marine mammals alive.

Neuroscientists have identified the area of the brain that is the key to picking up on when someone is being sarcastic. They found that people with damage to the right sagittal stratum - a bundle of white matter that lies between the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures in the brain - are unable to detect sarcasm. Stroke patients with damage in the sagittal stratum in the right hemisphere of the brain (shown in the image above) were far poorer at detecting sarcasm when listening to sentences, according to the new research . Stroke survivors often suffer damage to this area of their brain and struggle to recognise when family and friends are being sarcastic. According to researchers at John Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore, the level of damage to this area of the brain seems to directly affect a persons ability to detect sarcasm. Used effectively, sarcasm can provide a devastating put down. But it turns out that it can also be a great motivator. Employees who have to put up with a sarcastic colleague or boss are more creative than those who don\u2019t, a study has found. Researchers claim that being exposed to sarcasm required more \u2018cognitive complexity\u2019, or the ability to see things from more than one angle. The inherent humour in the comments also defused the tension that comes with anger. The study will surprise anybody whose boss relies on mocking his employees to get the best out of them. Professor Argye Hillis, a neurologist at John Hopkins Medical School who oversaw the study, said: 'Failure to recognize sarcasm can lead to important miscommunications. 'Few previous studies have identified brain lesions associated with impaired recognition of sarcasm. ' Percent damage to the sagittal stratum had the greatest weight and was the only independent predictor of sarcasm recognition.' Even for healthy people sarcasm can be hard to detect and some cultures use it far more than others. British comedy, for example, has a reputation for being notoriously sarcastic. Some characters like Blackadder, Chandler Bing in Friends and the cartoon teenager Daria, use it regularly. Sarcasm is well known as a complex form of communication as it requires the listener to understand the literal meaning of what someone is saying. They then also have to be able to detect the variation in pitch, stress on certain words, changes in pauses and lengthened syllables that make it differ from sincere speech. The popular Blackadder comedy series (above) tapped into the British love of sarcasm as a form of humour . During their study, which is published in the journal Neurocase, the researchers took fMRI scans of the brains of 24 stroke patients while they listened to 40 sentences of sincere or sarcastic speech. The patients were asked to identify whether a sentence was sarcastic.

Her mother Lynne, 49, who has two other children, claims taking her daughter to school and back every day would require four hours of travelling on the bus and force her to quit her job.

Decision: The schoolgirl leaves across the street from her preferred school but instead will have to head to Shooters Grove Primary, which is around two miles away .

One of the weirdest things I've been hearing lately is people saying Manuel Pellegrini was the right man at the right time for Manchester City. Their logic is that his calm was needed after the Roberto Mancini reign ended with a fractured dressing room, and an FA Cup final defeat at the hands of Wigan Athletic. Pellegrini is calm but it was the worst kind of short-term thinking which has led to City now clinging on to fourth place. The dressing room calmed down temporarily, but he doesn't have the character or gravitas to galvanise a group of players when the going gets tough. He's punching above his weight at Manchester City. City need to stop pussy-footing around and drag the fans into the modern game. They need to fill up the half-empty glasses of the supporters at the Etihad. Pellegrini's appointment would have suited those fans who resist the charge towards potential greatness. He is not a great manager. Look at his record before he arrived in England. He's done well but there is no evidence of greatness, and no suggestion of greatness to come.

A former MasterChef semi-finalist has become the first woman to run the prestigious Savoy Grill kitchen in its 126-year history.

She reached the semi-final of the 2011 series of MasterChef: The Professionals. The Cheshire-born chef said she would continue the \u2018masculine\u201d culinary traditions established by Escoffier, including a daily roast trolley, and classics such as Beef Wellington and Dover sole. It was more important to keep the Grill true to its traditions of \u201cgreat quality cuts of meat and fish\u201d rather than regain the Michelin star lost when it closed for refurbishment in 2007, she said, adding: \u2018People are here because it is a classic grill.\u2019 As well as powerful men, the Savoy Grill has been a magnet to some of the world\u2019s most famous women including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Day and Victoria Beckham. It was also where Vivien Leigh met her future husband Laurence Olivier. Heritage: But the Materchef contestant has promised to continue the 'masculine' traditions of five-star Grill . Escoffier created a number of famous dishes at the Savoy, including Peach Melba in 1893, in honour of Australian singer Nellie Melba, and Melba Toast in 1897. Another signature dish, Omelette Arnold Bennett, was created for the novelist and is still on the menu.

Rodgers says Ibe, 19, has looked \u2018absolutely sensational\u2019 after stepping up his rehabilitation work in the last couple of weeks and he could come straight back into the starting line-up against Newcastle on Monday night.

On Saturday he will dismount from the bay gelding Box Office after the 4.25pm at Sandown Park \u2013 the Bet365 Handicap Hurdle \u2013 and it will begin. Perhaps it will not quite sink in, at first, amid the cheers and roars, the hoopla and a presentation from Ian Wright, an Arsenal hero, as befits McCoy's club allegiance. Yet the following morning, when McCoy awakes an ex-jockey, he will understand there are no more competitive rides, no more races, no more Cheltenhams or Aintrees or even modest little handicap hurdles to separate him from the field. Just entries in record books and the fact he will never have to put his hand in his pocket at any racetrack in Britain or Ireland to remind him of what was. AP McCoy will race at Sandown on Saturday for the last time before he retires after a successful career . To date, McCoy has 4,357 winning memories. Eddie Arcaro had 4,779, including five Kentucky Derbys. He was known as The Master in American racing, comparable in his field to baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and golf's Jack Nicklaus. 'I liked being a celebrity, if I'm being honest,' Arcaro said. 'When a jockey retires he becomes just another little man.' Arcaro was retired 36 years before succumbing to liver cancer in 1997. It cannot be said that McCoy has courted celebrity, or that he will ever be regarded as a little man by racegoers, yet as he scurries to his new life, minus its thrills, spills and the snap of broken bones, one cannot help but ask: why? To be a jockey is to live a life of denial, early nights, early mornings, restraint at the dinner table, water at the bar, long, hot baths to sweat out the weight that, in McCoy's case, lowered his sperm count. His children were born through IVF treatment. Yet not one of McCoy's thoughts on retiring has centred greatly on the inconveniences or even the pain of injury. He doesn't now talk excitedly of lavish lunches or late nights, of never having to look at a fractured vertebrae via x-ray; there is no hint of the social whirl experienced by Sir Alex Ferguson on stepping down at Manchester United. McCoy will host a party at home on Sunday for family, friends and his closest racing colleagues, and the next day travel to the Punchestown festival with JP McManus, as a spectator. The rest of his retirement talk amounts to wishful thinking. McCoy simply reiterates he would still like to be riding. If he could ride in disguise for another three years he would do just that. McCoy (left) and wife Chanelle will host a party at home on Sunday for family and friends . And why would he need a mask?

Julius Caesar famously collapsed at the battle of Thapsus in 46BC and had to be carried to safety.Historians have long believed this was result of an epileptic attack, but new research suggests otherwise. Pictured is Ciaran Hinds Julius Caesar in the drama series 'Rome' Doctors at Imperial College London came to the conclusion after taking a new look at Caesar's symptoms described in Greek and Roman documents, according to a report by Ian Sample in the Guardian. 'Possible cardiovascular explanations have always been ruled out on the grounds that until his death he was supposedly otherwise physically well during both private and stately affairs,' the researchers wrote in their study. Francesco Galassi, a medical doctor at Imperial who conducted the analysis with Hutan Ashrafian, a surgeon at the college, say there are a number of symptoms that mini-strokes can explain better than epilepsy. New research suggests that the Roman general may in fact have been suffering from a series of mini-strokes that affected both his mental and physical state. Doctors at Imperial College London came to the conclusion after taking a new look at Caesar's symptoms described in Greek and Roman documents . For instance, Caesar was known to suffer from depression towards the end of his life, which may have been the result of damage to his brain from the strokes. There may have been social reasons why the military leader, and his chosen heir, Octavian, believed they suffered from epilepsy. In antiquity epilepsy was referred to as the 'sacred disease' among the Greeks. It was generally perceived by those uneducated in medicine or as being the result of possession by a deity. In literature of the time, epileptics were often the possessors of powers and the subjects of divine favour. The Greeks and the Romans appear to have known the causes and symptoms of epilepsy quite well. The Hippocratic treatise On the Sacred Disease, which attempts prove the condition is not caused by supernatural causes, outlined them in detail. In his biography of Caesar, the Greek historian Plutarch describes how the leader supposedly had a very public attack of his disease. This took place on the floor of the senate, where he cried that anyone who wished to kill him could. Plutarch says that Caesar later claimed that it was due to epilepsy, which causes him to become giddy when in front of large crowds. 'When re-evaluating his symptoms, it can be noted that Caesar suffered falls during his campaigns in Spain and Africa at Cordoba and Thapsus,' the researchers write. 'He reported symptoms of headaches, vertigo and later on mentioned giddiness and insensibility, when he could not stand up as senators", "summary": "Roman general suffered from vertigo, dizziness and weakness in limbs .

A 'blob' of warm water 2,000 miles across is sitting in the Pacific Ocean (shown in diagram). Since last June it has extended from Alaska to Mexico. It has been present since 2013 and causing fish to seek shelter elsewhere. And a new University of Washington study says it could be responsible for droughts . A new study by the University of Washington found that a high-pressure ridge could be causing the blob, by trapping heat in the water. In June of last year, the huge patch of water stretched 1,000 miles (1,600km) in each direction, and was 300ft (90 metres) deep. Dr Nick Bond, a climate scientist at the University of Washington, coined the term \u2018the blob\u2019 in June. Since the year 2000, seven western states in the US has seen their driest periods in centuries: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. And scientists in California have warned that the region may be experiencing a century-long 'mega-drought'. The warnings came after sediment studies showed California is currently experiencing the driest spell since 1580, and that the regular rainfall seen during the last century is likely to have been a temporary deviation in a cycle of droughts and very occasional rainfall over the last 3,000 years. In 2013, California received less rain than in any year since its formation as a state in 1850. However droughts lasting more than 100 years are far from unheard of in the state. Looking back over several thousand years, droughts have been known to last over a decade, and in some cases they can last a century. And the patterns tend to repeat, meaning another drought of this length will probably happen again in the future. Ten months later, the blob is now squashed up against the coast, and Dr Bond says all models point to it continuing through the end of this year. \u2018In the fall of 2013 and early 2014 we started to notice a big, almost circular mass of water that just didn't cool off as much as it usually did, so by spring of 2014 it was warmer than we had ever seen it for that time of year,\u2019 said Dr Bond. Researchers said it may have contributed to the state of Washington's mild 2014 winter and might signal a warmer summer. But exactly how this area of warmer water has formed, or how long it will stay, remains a mystery. One thing that can be studied, though, is its effects. As air passes over warmer water and reaches the coast", "summary": "A 'blob' of warm water 2,000 miles across is sitting in the Pacific Ocean .

A 10-year-old boy, identified in court documents as L.T., reportedly admitted to killing Lee Bonneau and crushing his head after initially blaming a stranger for the slaying. Slain: Lee Allan Bonneau was 6 years old when in August 2013 he was attacked by a 10-year-old boy and beaten to death with a rock and a stick .

Tribute: A collage created by Lee's biological family celebrating his short, troubled life . On Thursday, a coroner's jury in Regina heard how the underage suspect ran to his friends after the attack on Bonneau telling them he had witnessed a murder, reported National Post. The troubled 10-year-old was described as appearing scared but also excited, telling his friends how a 'big guy' had struck Lee with a stick three times, pushed him down an embankment and then bashed him with a rock. L.T. then changed his story, according to Thursday's hearing, saying the he was the one who killed the 6-year-old. He then pleaded with his pals, 'Don't tell on me,' because he was afraid of being jailed. During an interview with investigators a day after Lee Bonneau's slaying August 21, 2013, L.T. reverted back to his original version of events, telling Royal Canadian Mounted Police that a 'big person' committed the crime. The 10-year-old named the purported killer and told law enforcement officials that he even walked up to the man and asked him what he was doing. 'I'm just killing a little boy,' L.T. quoted the man as saying. Police later questioned the person identified by L.T. and cleared him of any wrongdoing. On the evening of August 21, 2013, Lee Bonneau accompanied his foster mother, Mary Ramstead, to a bingo game at the Kahkewistahaw First Nation hall. At around 8pm, Lee stepped outside the bingo venue to buy snacks and never returned.

Sold by Chelsea for \u00a337.1m last January, their judgement looked shrewd as he struggled to impact under David Moyes.

That's according to a study that found almost 30 million health records nationwide were involved in criminal theft, malicious hacking or other data breaches over four years. The incidents seem to be increasing. Compromised information included patients' names, home addresses, ages, illnesses, test results or Social Security numbers. Most involved electronic data and theft, including stolen laptops and computer thumb drives. The study didn't examine motives behind criminal breaches, or how stolen data might have been used, but cyber-security experts say thieves may try to use patients' personal information to fraudulently obtain medical services. Breach: A recently-published study that found millions of health records in the US were involved in criminal theft, malicious hacking or other data breaches over four years (file photo) Cases that didn't involve malicious intent included private health information being inadvertently mailed to the wrong patient. Hackings doubled during the study, from almost 5 percent of incidents in 2010 to almost 9 percent in 2013. Hackings are particularly dangerous because they can involve a high number of records, said Dr. Vincent Liu, the lead author and a scientist at Kaiser Permanente's research division in Oakland, California. 'Our study demonstrates that data breaches have been and will continue to be a persistent threat to patients, clinicians, and health care systems,' Liu said. The study appears in Tuesday's Journal of the American Medical Association. A JAMA editorial says there's evidence that the incidents are leading some patients to avoid giving doctors sensitive information about their health, including substance abuse, mental health problems, and HIV status. 'Loss of trust in an electronic health information system could seriously undermine efforts to improve health and health care in the United States,' the editorial said. Author: Dr. Vincent Liu, a scientist at Kaiser Permanente's research division, was the lead author on the study . Patients should be alert to cyber threats, including 'phishing' emails from hackers posing as doctors, hospitals or health insurance companies, said Lisa Gallagher, a cybersecurity expert at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. Those messages require clicking on a link to get information, and patients should instead should call the purported sender to verify whether the email is legitimate, she said . Patients should also double check doctor bills and other insurance company information. 'Don't throw away your explanation of benefits. Take a look at them,' Gallagher said. 'If you see care that wasn't provided to you, or dates and names of providers that don't make sense, go to the provider and report that.' For the study, Liu and colleagues analyzed an online database regulated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and containing mandated reports of breaches in health information protected by federal privacy law. Over the four years, 949 data breaches were reported across the country. The numbers climbed annually, from 214 in 2010 to 265 in 2013. Nearly 60 percent involved theft.

'Well again, I\u2019m very sorry for what I did. Hopefully someday you all can forgive me. And yes I don\u2019t like it here, you can tell everyone, that I\u2019m sure will put a smile on everyone face,' he said in his letter, according to The Blade. Cherrefe Kadri, president of the center, said she thought Linn's letter was sincere . Linn had several firearms in his car and carried a gun into the mosque, which was empty at the time. Linn later said while pleading guilty to hate crime charges that he'd become enraged after seeing images of wounded soldiers in the news and decided to burn the mosque. He also blamed what happened on a day of heavy drinking. Being forgiven, he wrote last December, would 'probably give me a little bit of peace of mind.' Cherrefe Kadri, president of the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, told The Blade said she waited nearly six weeks to respond to Linn's letter. Most of the members have moved on, she said. 'I think his letter was truly sincere, and I told him that,' she said. Her response, written on stationery with an image of the mosque at the top, said that she hopes he can make peace with God. 'Neither our community nor I harbor any hatred, ill-will or malice toward you,' she wrote.

+{"article": "Three Ku Klux Klan members who worked at a Florida prison have been charged with plotting to kill a black inmate after his release because they believed the man is infected with HIV and hepatitis and he bit one of them during a fight, officials said Thursday. The case comes as the latest black eye for the troubled state prison system. The three men - Thomas Jordan Driver, 25, David Elliot Moran, 47, and Charles Thomas Newcomb, 42 - were arrested Thursday and each faces one state count of conspiracy to commit murder, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's office said in a written statement. The state said the murder plot started after Driver, an officer at the Department of Corrections Reception and Medical Center in rural north Florida, had a fight with the inmate. Moran is currently a sergeant at that facility. Newcomb was fired in 2013 for failing to meet training requirements, according to the department. Charged: (From left to right) Charles Thomas Newcomb, Thomas Jordan Driver, and David Elliot Moran each were arrested Thursday on one state count of conspiracy to commit murder, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's office said . Bondi's office said the three were also members of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The group has garnered attention in recent months for distributing flyers that likened protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, to terrorists. The FBI was initially alerted to the murder plot by a confidential informant inside the Klan, according to an arrest affidavit. The FBI's affidavit described the informant as 'a confidential human source for the FBI whose motivation for cooperation with the FBI is patriotism.' The informant was present when Driver and Moran talked with Newcomb, identified as the KKK chapter's 'Exalted Cyclops' or leader, and recorded many of their conversations. In late 2014, authorities say Driver provided the Klan chapter, called a klavern, with a photograph of the inmate, who'd been let out on supervised release. 'Both Driver and Moran ... told the (confidential informant) that they wanted (the inmate) \"six feet under,\"' the FBI's affidavit said. The informant recorded all three men making plans to murder the inmate - ranging from shooting him to injecting with a lethal dose of insulin, which Newcomb said 'would be quieter.' In the recordings, the men often refer to the man using a racial epithet. The affidavit said the informant, Moran and Newcomb went on a trip together to where the inmate lives in Palatka. Before they made the trip, 'Newcomb pointed out that if they could grab (the inmate) and take him to the river, he would need to bring a fishing pole to make it look like (the inmate) was at the river fishing,' the affidavit said. 'Newcomb told (the informant) he wanted to make it as realistic as possible, but if they had to go in there blazin, they would do what they had to do,' the affidavit continued. Their first attempt to find and kill the inmate failed.

From cakes to curries, freezing brings out more of their flavour and boosts the texture. Here, Tessa Cunningham puts a host of our favourite foods to the frozen test . . . CAKES . If you think nothing beats the gooey deliciousness of a home-made cake fresh from the oven, think again. Resist the temptation to cut that first slice straight away and, instead, put your cake into the freezer. Scroll down for video . The gooey deliciousness of a cake fresh out of the oven is unbeatable but they can dry out and get stale very quickly. Freeze your cake for 24 hours straight from the oven and the sponge will be bouncier than ever . After being frozen for 24 hours, the sponge will be even bouncier because this process boosts the moisture, so you get an even creamier and softer centre. Let your cake cool entirely, then put it into the freezer without a wrapping. Once frozen solid, wrap it in clingfilm, and it can be kept frozen for up to three months. When you are ready to tuck in, defrost for up to three hours, until thawed. HERBS AND SPICES . Keeping fresh herbs in the freezer will intensify their flavour because they take on moisture during the freezing process. Once defrosted, it also makes them softer, so all their lovely juices seep out more readily and the flavours are more potent. Tough herbs such as rosemary and thyme preserve the best, but ginger, lemongrass, garlic and chilli will last up to six months when frozen. By keeping fresh herbs in the freezer you will intensify their flavour because they take on moisture during the freezing process . Just pop stems in a plastic container and freeze. You can sprinkle frozen chilli, garlic and ginger into stews, fishcakes or curries. Frozen herbs are also brilliant in pies, pasta and pestos. You can even freeze them in ice cube trays with a drizzle of water. That way, they can go straight into a stew or soup \u2014 no defrosting needed. CRISPS .

So if you\u2019ve ever found yourself scoffing a big bag just so that they aren\u2019t wasted, stop right now. Pop the crisps in an airtight bag and place them in the freezer.

Both Belfast boxers (bronze medallists at London 2012), were in action for the Italia Thunder franchise in Venezuela on Saturday night, with the pair needing victories to book flights to Rio. Barnes delivered in style, extending his undefeated WSB record this season to 7-0 with a split-decision points win over native light-flyweight Yoel Finol. Michael Conlan has booked his Olympic place after results went his way in Venezuela on Saturday night . The two-time Olympic medallist dropped his opponent in the first round en route to claiming a 49-45 victory on two of the judges\u2019 cards while the remaining judge questionably scored the fight 48-47 in Finol\u2019s favour. The spilt-decision win was enough to help Barnes top the 49kg WSB rankings, with the Ardoyne native leapfrogging Uzbekistan\u2019s Hasanboy Dusmatov to claim the only Olympic qualification spot on offer through the competition. Conlan\u2019s mission was a far more complex affair, however. Not only did the Falls Road fighter need to win \u2014 which he did, earning a 49-46 unanimous points win over Venezuelan opponent Jos\u00e9 Vicente Azocar \u2014 but he also had to rely on a shock result elsewhere. The 23-year-old leapt to No 2 in the WSB bantamweight rankings, claiming the second 56kg Olympic spot on offer thanks to his win and the fact that Azerbaijan\u2019s Magomed Gurbanov lost to Luis Mora Hector Garcia in Puerto Rico. Garcia had Gurbanov down in the fifth and final round of their bout as the Puerto Rican became a cult hero for Irish boxing, akin to Scottish footballer Gary Mackay who booked a place at Euro \u201988 for Jack Charlton\u2019s Ireland side thanks to a goal against Bulgaria. The domino effect left Conlan in shock. The Belfast bantamweight was close to pulling out in frustration at his qualification limbo, and had all but made up his mind to turn professional in the near future before a dramatic U-turn. Conlan\u2019s brother, Jamie, himself a promising professional boxer, was just one of the confidantes who contacted him to convince him to fight. Coaches Billy Walsh and John Conlan (Michael\u2019s father) also played key roles in helping the boxer into the ring, continuing their sterling efforts throughout the competition.

The disgraced ESPN sports reporter has been suspended for a week after footage emerged of her telling single mother-of-three Gina Michelle: 'I'm on TV and you're in a f---ing trailer, honey.' But just a month earlier she used similar language to berate an Arkansas attorney and women's rights campaigner on Twitter. Sarah Sparkman, who tweets with the handle @cupcakesarenice, remarked to her followers that she felt uneasy about the way female sports reporters are sexualized on screen.

Twitter fight: Sarah Sparkman (left), a lawyer from Arkansas, tweeted about how female sports reporters are sexualized - and was met with a tirade of anger from Britt McHenry (right) despite not tagging her in the tweet . Screengrabs of the conversation on March 12 have been posted on Sparkman's blog. It started when Sparkman wrote to her followers: 'I wish there were more women in sports broadcasting that aren't completely sexualized. 'I'm tired of seeing all sexualized photos of Kacie McDonnell in my newsfeed. I have no idea if she's talented, but I know how she's branded. 'I have nothing against beautiful women being in sports media,' she wrote, 'I just wish that they were presented as professionals and not models.' A follower responded by mentioning Britt McHenry's name - and the situation rapidly escalated. Although they did not tag McHenry in the tweet, the 28-year-old reporter found it and began berating Sparkman. Despite having written her own blog post condemning sexualization in Super Bowl adverts, McHenry seemed angered by the suggestion that female sports reporters might be sexualized. She raged: 'went to northwestern & played competitive sports. What's wrong w/ a woman wanting to look nice & be intelligent?' Sparkman responded: 'I have zero issue with beautiful women in sports media. What I have issue with is how they are sexualized.' McHenry hit back: 'define that? I modeled & still graduated in 3 yrs w/ a masters. those things don't have to be mutually exclusive.' To clarify her point, Sparkman sent McHenry a link to the definition of 'sexualization'. McHenry was not satisfied: 'personally I believe it's ppl who don't have 1 trait or the other who try to demean others,' adding, 'so you're being more of a hater than the men themselves?' In a bid to extract herself from the back-and-forth, Sparkman tweeted her exasperation to her followers: 'Man, I swear I can't give an opinion without some rando on Twitter seeking me out and bashing their misinterpretation.' The comment prompted McHenry's final scathing words, which echo the abuse she level at the tow company clerk on April 6.

The youngster, who had 50 separate bruises across her body at the time of her death, was found cold and rigid in her bed by paramedics called to the family home in Bestwood, Nottingham, last July. Shanay Walker, found cold and stiff in her bed in Nottingham last July. Her aunt is currently on trial for her murder. The prosecution claim Shanay was subject to repeated acts of cruelty at the hands of her aunt and grandmother, Juanila Smikle, until she was eventually killed by a 'vicious and sustained attack' last July . Morris told police officers Shanay, who she was the legal guardian for, had fallen down the stairs. But the 23-year-old, who was an aspiring police officer in her teens, was later arrested and charged with murder. Nottingham Crown Court heard how Shanay went to live with her aunt as a five-year-old in 2012 after her natural mother - Morris' sister-in-law - struggled to care for her. However, Richard Pratt QC said she soon became the victim of regular punishments by Morris, and her mother, Juanila Smikle - Shanay's grandmother. She was disciplined for tiny misdemeanours such as failing to eat quickly enough or 'fighting' while brushing her teeth. Jurors were told the schoolgirl faced a range of abuse including being placed in the bath and having water thrown over her, being forced to stand on a landing for 20 minutes, and having the palms of her outstretched hands 'whacked' with a hairbrush. Mr Pratt said that on one occasion, neighbours saw Morris refuse to let a desperate Shanay go to the toilet, and instead taunted her with the ditty: 'I know a song that will get on your nerves'. He added that witnesses questioned by police following Shanay's death described Morris as a 'very strict' parent who frequently made her niece cry by shouting at her. Others told how Shanay was 'hysterical' at times, had 'lost her sparkle' after moving in with 'stern looking' Morris, and went from being a 'bubbly' child when her aunt wasn't around to 'introverted and anxious' when she was nearby.

Mr Aziz, who said the family are seeking legal advice over the incident on a Transavia Airlines flight in Tel Aviv, said: \u2018I want to emphasise that we wanted to, and were, complying with the crew\u2019s instructions. \u2018I was simply trying to restrain our daughter who had become unhappy after being moved from a child seat on to our laps. We had actually purchased a seat for her to sit in, and she was very happy in that and belted in correctly. \u2018But the stewardess came up to us and said that their policy was for the child to be seated on a parent\u2019s lap. We said we were happy to go along with this and were in no way argumentative.\u2019 Mr Aziz described how after being moved from her seat, his daughter became frustrated and unhappy, and it became difficult to keep her subdued. \u2018All we were doing was asking the cabin crew what we can do, and asking for help,\u2019 he added. After his daughter\u2019s behaviour continued to attract the attention of the crew, Mr Aziz claims another steward, who had not seen the original incident unfold, marched over to him \u2018very aggressively\u2019. Transavia Airlines have said that the action was justified as the child was not 'following safety instructions' The incident occurred at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel (pictured) on a flight bound for London Luton .

Gadahn, who had treason charges pending against him, was killed in a drone strike in January, the White House acknowledged on Thursday. Another January drone strike killed Ahmed Farouq, the operations leader for Al-Qaida in Pakistan, as well as an American hostage and an Italian hostage. Gadahn's father, a musician in California, changed his name from Pearlman to Gadahn in the 1970s.

In 1995, at age 17, he converted to Islam at a mosque in nearby Orange County. A few years later, he moved to Pakistan, where he joined al-Qaida as a propagandist. Using the name 'Azzam the American,' he appeared in numerous al-Qaida videos, denouncing U.S. moves in Afghanistan and elsewhere and threatening attacks on Western interests abroad. His work led to Gadahn becoming the only American charged with treason since the World War II era.

The cardboard lining of suitcases or sports bags, originating in Amsterdam, often contained 20 compressed sheets of LSD tabs, worth \u00a310,000 on the street.

Even more shocking: some of them even received tax rebates in the tens or even hundreds of millions. Avoidance: Fifteen Fortune 500 companies managed to get through 2014 without owing a penny in income taxes. What's more, most of those 15 were actually given federal tax rebates in the tens or even hundreds of millions .

Another method of tax avoidance is active financing. Put simply, this means a company classifies a taxable activity as foreign financing, putting it out of reach of the IRS. With corporate giants like Pepco, Prudential and Xerox all successfully avoiding paying income tax, Citizens for Tax Justice says American taxpayers and the U.S. government need to wake up and amend the tax code. The report's authors write: . 'As Congress focuses on strategies for revamping the U.S. corporate income tax, a sensible starting point should be to critically assess the costs of each of these tax breaks and to take steps to ensure that profitable corporations pay their fair share of U.S. taxes.'

'I think it\u2019s sending the right signal, the way this has been resolved, to the world and the country that Arkansas understands the diversity of our culture and workforce but also the importance of balancing that with our sincerely held religious convictions,' Hutchinson said. The recently empowered governor also suggested he'd issue an executive order banning discrimination in the workplace for state employees, according to a CNN report. The two, GOP-controlled states were in a frenzy this week to quell national outrage over legislation meant to satisfy evangelicals who do not believe they should be compelled by the government to provide goods and services to certain customers if doing so would violate their religious convictions. The moves had the direct effect of upsetting gay and lesbian individuals, however, and incited massive protests. After gay rights activists, sympathetic businesses and celebrities thrust the measures into the national spotlight, both states found themselves in the cross-hairs, and even Republican lawmakers began to distance themselves from the laws as written. Republican leaders in the Hoosier State conceded this week to critics arguing that their state's law, signed into effect by Governor Mike Pence a week ago today, inadvertently left room for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. 'It was never intended to discriminate against anyone,' Indiana Senate President Pro Tem David Long said at a Thursday morning at a press conference. Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma, standing alongside Long, said, 'Hoosier hospitality had to be restored.' 'It is causing real harm to real", "summary": "New Indiana law: No one has the legal right to 'refuse to offer or provide' goods, services, facilities or employment to anyone in previously protected classes or based on sexual orientation or gender identity .

The Christian Dior fragrance, Eau Savage, was the first to use it in 1966, and it has since found its way into other fragrances such as Chamade by Guerlain, CKOne and Chanel no. 19.

Here Hedione - which has the chemical name methyl dihydro-jasmonate - activates the pheromone receptor VN1R in humans. 'These results constitute compelling evidence that a pheromone effect different from normal olfactory perception indeed exists in humans,' says scent researcher Prof Hanns Hatt from Ruhr-Universit\u00e4t Bochum in Germany. Scientists analysed brain activity when a person smelled Hedione to find out how it changed their emotions and behaviour. They then compared the results with the effects caused by a common floral fragrance known as phenylethyl alcohol. Hedione triggered brain areas in the limbic system, which is responsible for emotions, memory and motivation, more effectively than phenylethyl alcohol. It also activated an area of the hypothalamus which releases sex hormones throughout body to turn people on.

Many avoid the doctor's surgery altogether, leaving themselves open to the risk of various illnesses and infections. But for those terrified of needles, a team of scientists at Rice University in Houston, may have the answer. They have developed a new device, Comfortably Numb, to ease the pain of an injection. Their invention numbs the skin prior to the jab by producing a rapid chemical reaction to cool the patient's skin. Scroll down for video . Comfortably Numb is a new, single-use device that eases the pain of an injection by producing a rapid chemical reaction to cool the patient's skin within 60 seconds . Three first year students, (from L-R) mechanical engineer Mike Hua, bioengineer Andy Zhang and computer scientist Greg Allison, came up with the invention, they describe as 'simple and elegant' The trio, made up of computer scientist Greg Allison, bioengineer Andy Zhang and mechanical engineer Mike Hua, currently has a functioning prototype, that has produced a numbing effect in just 60 seconds. 'Our device is 3D printed and consists of two sealed chambers containing the chemical ammonium nitrate and water, ' Mr Hua said. 'A simple twisting motion moves the chambers into alignment to allow the chemicals to flow through the chamber to produce a rapid endothermic reaction. 'We then numb the skin by contacting the device's metal surface to the patient's skin.' Current solutions are either ineffective because they fail to numb the skin adequately, or take too long, the researchers said. They noted that a commonly used medicated topical patch takes about an hour to work, whereas their new device 'works on the order of seconds and minutes', Mr Zhang said. 'We are targeting anyone who has to get an injection, which is nearly everyone,' Mr Allison said. 'But the device is especially applicable to people who are more susceptible to pain.' As such, he said, it is particularly useful for children and the elderly. And, it is intended for use during procedures 'where you have to get shots in more sensitive areas of the body, such as the face or the groin', he added. The team designed the device to be single-use, rather than reusable to avoid the difficulties of cleaning it and resetting the device. It costs around $2 (\u00a31.34) to produce, they said .

'Mike pointed out that one of the [vertebra] fragments, which no one, including me, had really paid close attention to, looked fairly small to fit with the rest of Lucy's vertebral column,' Scott Williams at New York University told the New Scientist. The researchers thought one possible explanation was that the fragment was missed up with another, younger member of Lucy's species.

It was then put in a cage and taken away into the care of the ASPCA. It is not known whether it was the same coyote that was spotted in Manhattan's riverside park on Wednesday. At least four coyotes have been spotted around Manhattan so far this year, and one was seen clambering around on the roof of a Queens bar before disappearing, says Sarah Aucoin, the director of the city's Urban Park Rangers program. Three of the animals were captured in Manhattan and released in Bronx parks with established coyote populations, she said.

Police chased after the fourth on Wednesday in Manhattan's Riverside Park, even using a helicopter before until the animal secreted itself in deep brush near Grant's Tomb. There's no firm count of coyotes or sightings in the nation's biggest city, but the population is probably at least in the teens, says wildlife biologist Chris Nagy, a co-founder of a study group called the Gotham Coyote Project and the research director at the Mianus River Gorge in Bedford, New York. With some coyotes ensconced and breeding in the Bronx, others are likely heading into Manhattan this spring to seek their own turf, said coyote project co-founder Mark Weckel, a conservation biologist at the American Museum of Natural History. Coyotes were once creatures of Midwestern plains and southwestern deserts. But they have dramatically expanded their range in the last two centuries, partly because of declines in their predators, such as wolves and cougars, experts say. Although coyotes have been hunted for sport and killed as threats to livestock, they're now found from coast to coast. There are an estimated 30,000 in New York state, where they were first noted in the 1930s, the state Department of Environmental Conservation says.

Anna James, 32, has vowed to defy the school's ban on taking her children to the 'Obby 'Oss celebrations - claiming the rituals are part of her 'religion, culture and heritage.' The school blocked her request under a government crackdown on unauthorised absences announced in 2013. Mrs James pictured with her son Ethan (far left), Piran (centre) and Sophia (right) at last year's Maypole festival . But Mrs James said she would be willing to take the consequences of any police action to take her children Ethan, 11, Piran, 5, Sophia, 8, and four month old baby Faith to the event. The annual May 1 celebration is a centuries' old tradition, involving music and dancing through the streets, believed by some to be an ancient pagan fertility ritual which heralds the arrival of spring. Held every year in Padstow, Cornwall at midnight on May 1, it consists of parades and celebrations throughout the town and into the following day. Mrs James, who moved from Padstow to St Austell, Cornwall, eight years ago, said: 'I think it's ridiculous that I'm being told I can't take my children to the event. 'Obby 'Oss is something which my family has celebrated for generations. 'It's part of our heritage, our culture and our religion. If I wanted to take children out of school for some other religion I think it would be a different story. 'I don't expect the St Austell schools to close, but I do think that any school in Cornwall should be sensitive to the needs of people from Padstow to return to their home town on May 1.

Pictured from left to right is Sophia, 8, Ethan, 11, Faith, 4 months, and Piran, 5 . In 2013, former Education Secretary Michael Gove ended the right for schools to grant up to 10 days holiday per year for pupils. New guidelines state that children should only be taken out of school during term-time if it is an 'exceptional circumstance'.

He said the increased figure is \u2018unreasonable\u2019 and he believes illegal employment will flourish under the new system. Truck driver Dean Sorenson, 28, said he's also facing financial difficulty after his child support payments increased by $172-a-month. He said while he had considered changing jobs to reduce his payment, he thought his family would end up worse off if he did. New Zealand MP Jo Goodhew said those who were struggling with the new formula could come into her office to discuss how changing jobs could affect their future payment. Ms Goodhew has invited parents to her office to discuss how the new calculations are affecting their wage . As child support payments are calculated on information provided to Inland Revenue by parents, they have advised that parents check the information they gave is still up to date to ensure their payment has been calculated correctly. A spokeswoman for Waitaki MP Jacqui Dean said her office had received three inquiries about the changes to child support payments. Ms Goodhew\u2019s Timaru office confirmed they had dealt with five cases in 2015, however, none were in relation to the changes that took effect on April 1.", "summary": "New Zealand recently changed how they calculate child support figures .

But Courtois says his confidence levels have not waned as a result. 'I never doubted that I can't catch the ball. Against Hull, I just tried to make the best solution,' he said. 'It was not the best control, but in the second half I showed that I am mentally strong and I saved the team. 'Against Stoke, if you want to play high as a team, you as a goalkeeper have to play high as a team as well. Charlie Adam did a good strike and that can happen. 'But I showed against QPR that if you play high, you can go get the ball from the midfield. If I'm on the 16 yard box, I can go get it there. For me it's not a problem. Courtois has also faced criticism for failing to keep out Charlie Adam's 66-yard strike against Stoke . Courtois (right) said he never doubted himself during his indifferent spell of form for Chelsea . 'I continue. I never doubt myself. That's my strength.

And using images collected by the spacecraft, Nasa has unveiled an interactive tool that lets you explore this world. Using the map you can see a huge amount of features on Vesta, from craters to the amount of sunlight hitting the surface - and switching to \u20183D mode\u2019 also lets you fly around like you were in your own spacecraft. Called Vesta Trek, the interactive programme lets you explore massive craters on the body - which has no atmosphere, and thus no protection like our own Earth. Vesta, discovered in 1807, is the second most massive body in the asteroid belt after the dwarf planet Ceres - which Dawn has now travelled to. It completes a rotation every five hours and 18 minutes, with a temperature ranging from -3\u00b0C (27\u00b0F) to -188\u00b0C (-306\u00b0F). Some meteorites on Earth have been found to originate from places like Vesta. As you explore the asteroid, you will come across various \u2018troughs\u2019 - areas where the ground sinks away. The largest of these is up to 12 miles (20km) wide and 289 miles (465km) long, similar in size to the Grand Canyon on Earth. Elsehwere there are craters, hills and mountains on the surface, most formed by impacts. On the map you can switch between three main views - over the North Pole, a Global view or looking down onto the South Pole. Various tools also let you find out more information about the asteroid. You can draw lines on the surface to see elevation levels, place a pin to see how the angle of the sun changes at a location over time, or even draw a box to generate files to use with a 3D printer. There\u2019s also an option to 3D print an entire model of Vesta. Nasa scientists in California have revealed an interactive 3D map for Vesta (shown) using images from the Dawn spacecraft. The map lets you see features on the surface including craters, hills, mountains and even 'canyons' You can also measure elevation changes on the surface and see different measurement data. And a 'gaming mode' lets you fly around the largest asteroid in the solar system using your keyboard's arrow keys. In the bottom right of the map is a scale, where you can change the units of measurement by clicking. Aside from using imperial and metric units of measurement - kilometres and miles - it also lets you measure distances in Golden Gate Bridges, football fields and school buses. Various data can also be overlayed on the map, such as the amount of iron or hydrogen in certain regions. The Dawn spacecraft spent a year, from 2011 to 2012, mapping and exploring Vesta.

Developed by Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy and the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning, it was supposed to be able to function for about 10 hours at levels of radiation which would be fatal to humans and cause ordinary electronic devices to malfunction. But decommissioning work at the plant suffered a setback after the adaptable 'transformer' robot stalled before it could complete its operation and had to be abandoned.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company, which operates the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant, admitted the robot had only completed two-thirds of Friday's planned mission inside the Unit 1 containment vessel before it failed . TEPCO spokesman Teruaki Kobayashi said the robot sufficiently collected temperature, radiation levels and images from parts of the platform just below the reactor core's bottom by the time it got stuck and became unrecoverable. Mr Kobayashi said the test also showed the robot tolerated radiation and that the radiation levels were significantly lower than anticipated. That means robots can last longer and some wireless device may even be usable, even though the radiation levels were way too high for humans to enter the area, even wearing protective gear. Although there were no fatalities from radiation exposure, 300,000 residents were moved from a 20-mile radius of the nuclear plant. In total there were nearly 16,000 deaths reported from the natural disaster and subsequent devastation.

+{"article": "Millions of pounds were wiped off the value of leading housebuilders today after Labour announced a raft of new policies on housing. Ed Miliband today set out plans to scrap stamp duty for most first-time buyers, curbing rent rises and giving local people priority for new homes. But he also wants to ban developers hoarding land which could be built on, triggering a drop in the value of shares of construction firms. Ed Miliband used a speech in Stockton-on-tees today to promise there is 'nothing more British than the dream of home-ownership' as he sets out plans to prioritise new homes for local people . The move to clampdown on landbanking - where firms hold on to undeveloped sites while its value increases - has proven unpopular. Yesterday Mr Miliband said he would introduce rent controls if it won the election and ban private landlords from raising rents by more than the rate of inflation for the duration of new three-year contracts. It is thought the policies contributed to the fall in shares in leading housebuilding firms. Barrett Developments saw shares drop from more than \u00a35.42 each to under \u00a35.32 within two hours of the FTSE opening, and closed at \u00a35.37, a 0.74 per cent decline on the day. Shares in Taylor Wimpey fell sharply from \u00a31.70 to under \u00a31.66 this morning, before recovering to \u00a31.68, a fall of 0.47 per cent. Persimmon, the third housebuilder in the FTSE 100, also saw shares fall sharply this morning, but they made up the losses before the end of the day. 'Nervousness over the election is finally starting to filter into the FTSE 100. Rent controls will affect the housing sector,' said Atif Latif, director of trading at Guardian Stockbrokers. Mr Miliband, pictured checking his phone as he travels to Stockton by train, wants to ban developers hoarding land which could be built on . In a speech today, Mr Miliband said there is 'nothing more British than the dream of home-ownership' as he sets out plans to prioritise new homes for local people. He warned that too often new homes are 'snapped up before local people get a look-in' and promised to cut the cost of getting on to the property ladder.

'But for so many young people today that dream is fading with more people than ever renting when they want to buy, new properties being snapped up before local people get a look-in, young families wondering if this country will ever work for them. 'That is the condition of Britain today, a modern housing crisis which only a Labour government will tackle.'

Definitely no 'scything' here...Aidan's chest hair looks distinctly more unkempt in this photo shoot for BBC comedy drama Being Human, which aired earlier this year . New images have emerged of the Irish star, whose brooding good looks have seen him capture a million hearts, looking a little more, shall we say, hirsute. In images shot to promote another BBC series Being Human, the actor, who is dating fellow rising Irish star Sarah Greene, appears to have a much thicker chest of hair, suggesting that he's done away with his natural rug in a bid to really show off the muscles underneath. Although it seems the BBC make-up department may have gone for a little gentle pruning rather than offering up the full, shaven reveal in a bid to stay true to the 18th century male grooming that Ross Poldark himself might have partaken in. It's unlikely that such a character would have reached for the razor, so a smattering of hair remains. Aidan's chest has been the subject of much viewer devotion throughout the series so far, thanks to the actor disrobing in plenty of scenes. Fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the latest Poldark male grooming debate. One viewer, @AidanTurner_Fan, remarked that she would rather see her favourite star with a full rug: 'Asked to shave his chest hair off?!! I'd rather he had it all!' Scythed but not clean shaven? The brooding star has stubble but not the bearded look the actor appears to favour in real life . Still brooding but a more natural image: A bearded Aidan pictured with his girlfriend Sarah Greene at the premiere for The Hobbit back in 2014 . While others have commented that even a smattering is too much. User Laura Kate said: 'I just can't forgive that chest hair. I just can't! But it's Aiden turner I could try. #Poldark'. And some got hot under the collar at the very thought of it. Tattooed_Mummy wrote on the social media site: 'I can't think of anything other than running my hands through Ross Poldark's chest hair.' The actor has confessed that he is 'inherently lazy' when it comes to perfecting his body beautiful and only really got in shape for Poldark as filming start dates approached.

+{"article": "Malaysia has passed a controversial terror law aimed at tackling growing support for Islamic State extremists in the country in a move opponents denounced as a harsh blow for civil rights. The Prevention of Terrorism Act - passed in the capital Kuala Lumpur yesterday - officially enables authorities to detain suspected terrorists for two years without charge or trial. But it also allows for the authorities to apply for unlimited extensions after those two years expire - something that will be decided by a government-appointed terrorism board, not a judge and jury. The bill effectively reintroduces the controversial prospect of indefinite detention without trial in Malaysia - something Prime Minister Najib Razak originally repealed in 2012. Rise: Malaysian police said in January they had arrested a total of 120 people with suspected links or sympathies to the Islamic State terror group (pictured), or who had sought to travel to war-torn Syria or Iraq . Razak's political opponents and human rights groups had urged for the bill to be withdrawn, claiming it is 'open to abuse and is a grievous blow to democracy'. Human Rights Watch described it as 'a giant step backwards for human rights'. The legislation was passed after midnight, following 15 hours of debate, according to media reports. Its passage was not in doubt due to the ruling regime's majority in parliament. Authorities have expressed increasing alarm in the wake of ISIS' bloody jihad in Syria, which police say has drawn dozens of recruits from traditionally moderate, Muslim-majority Malaysia. Yesterday police said 17 people, including two who recently returned from Syria, had been arrested on suspicion of plotting terror attacks in Kuala Lumpur. No further details were given.

They also said 67 Malaysians were known at the time to have gone abroad to join IS jihadists, and that five had died fighting for the movement. The terrorism act has heightened worries in Malaysia over a deepening crackdown on civil liberties launched by the government in the wake of a 2013 election setback. The ruling United Malays National Organisation has been in charge since 1957, but faces possible defeat at the hands of an opposition that has campaigned against government corruption and alleged abuse of power.

Jeremy Clarkson will not be hosting an episode of Have I Got News For You later this month, according to the show's producers, though they expect him to return to the show later in the year . Jimmy Mulville, managing director of Hat Trick Productions, said: 'On reflection, Jeremy Clarkson has decided not to host Have I Got News For You. 'We fully expect him to resume his hosting duties later in the year.' Clarkson had been a regular feature on BBC television since taking over Top Gear in 1988 from previous producer Noel Edmonds. He is credited with taking the show from being a niche motoring programme to the most watched series on BBC 2. The hosting slot would have marked Clarkson's first appearance on the BBC since he was dismissed from Top Gear for hitting producer Oisin Tymon . His brash presenting style and refusal to bow to PC culture earned him legions of admirers and critics, and controversy dogged his career. He was put on a 'final warning' after allegedly saying a racial slur on air while reciting a nursery rhyme, and drew more unwanted attention after the Top Gear team were kicked out of Argentina last year while filming a Christmas special. Clarkson's car had a numberplate which was thought to be a deliberate reference the Falklands war, though the BBC denied this. He was suspended by the broadcaster on March 10 when reported himself to the corporation following a row in which producer Oisin Tymon was punched, splitting his lip. Following a week-long investigation, director-general Tony Hall decided against renewing his contract saying at the time 'a line has been crossed'. Despite Clarkson's unruly behaviour, he received an outpouring of public support, including from his friend and Prime Minister, David Cameron, while a million people signed a petition asking for him to be reinstated.

The women of ancient history, including Mary Queen of Scots, who washed herself in white wine, had some fascinating methods for beautifying themselves . Cleopatra, for one, had some interesting methods and even penned a book documenting her most prized beauty secrets. The famed Egyptian beauty famously bathed in donkey-milk baths. Her daily donkey-milk baths, which she believed had anti-ageing and skin smoothing properties thanks to the alpha hydroxy acids, apparently required over 700 donkeys to accomplish. She often mixed donkey-milk with crocodile dung to create a face mask and also bathed in rose petals to leave her skin smelling sweet. Egyptian queen Nefertiti, meanwhile, loved to make her own cosmetics, including her own blend of eyeliner using lead-based kohl, and clay and crushed beetles as blusher. Cleopatra, left, the famed Egyptian beauty, famously bathed in donkey-milk baths, while Empress Elisabeth of Austria, right, loved to conjure up her own face creams in the 19th century . The goddesses of Ancient Greece strove to achieve a pale complexion and made honey and olive oil-based concoctions to achieve this. They used a combination of white lead and olive oil to whiten the skin and created an on-trend monobrow using dark powder. Bleach blonde hair was coveted in Ancient Greece and women doused themselves in vinegar to get the look. Meanwhile, the ladies of ancient India used cow dung and urine to boost their beauty regime and were said to treat problem skin and cracked heels using the bizarre ingredient. A rouge pout came courtesy of betel leaves, which women would chomp on. The Geishas of Japan used rice flour to whiten their faces and cleansed with nightingale poop . The Geishas of Japan - particularly in the Heian era - achieved black teeth with oxidised iron fillings steeped in an acidic solution. Faces were whitened using rice flour and removed using nightingale poop, a treatment that beauty salons are adding to their menus today. Over in China, female emperor Wu Zetian mixed Chinese motherwort with cold water to cleanse her face. Mary, Queen of Scots was said to wash her body in white wine, which, thanks to its antiseptic alcohol content, was deemed to help boost her complexion. Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) of Austria loved to conjure up her own face creams in the 19th century. She mixed spermaceti (a wax found in the head of sperm whales), rosewater and almond oil and coated her face with the substance daily. She was also fond of creating a DIY night mask using raw veal and crushed strawberries.", "summary": "Mary Queen of Scots washed herself in white wine .

But researchers have found such a pattern in two apparently unrelated places - cells in human skin, and the mysterious fairy circles in Namibia. While the distribution of desert fairy circles may look random, as if the landscape is marked with freckles, the pattern closely matches the distribution pattern of skin cells. Researchers have found a similar pattern in two apparently unrelated places - skin cells and the mysterious fairy circles in the Namibian desert. The illustration on the left shows the distribution of skin cells, and the one on the right plots fairy circles, which are also arranged in polygons . \u2018It's a completely amazing, strange match,\u2019 said Professor Robert Sinclair, head of the Mathematical Biology Unit at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) in Japan. Desert fairy circles are considered one of nature's greatest mysteries because no one knows how they form. Found in Namibia, they are large barren patches of earth measuring anywhere between 10ft and 65ft in diameter (three metres to 20 metres) that are ringed by short grass dotting the scrub land like craters on the moon, or big freckles. Several teams of scientists are trying to explain the bizarre markings, and suggestions have included termites nibbling grass, zebras rolling in circles, competition for resources, hydrocarbons emanating from the depths of the earth to kill off patches of vegetation and even aliens. Desert fairy circles (pictured) are considered one of nature's greatest mysteries because it is now known how they form. Found in Namibia, they are large barren patches of earth ringed by short grass dotting the desert like craters on the moon, or big freckles . Now, Professor Sinclair and Haozhe Zhang believe they have identified a small, but vital, piece of the puzzle by comparing their distribution to skin cells. The duo compared the number of 'neighbours' adjacent to fairy circles and skin cells, according to the study published in Ecological Complexity. They used satellite images of fairy circles and a computer to draw lines halfway between each pair to give them invisible boundaries that look similar to cell walls. The majority of skin cells and fairy circles both had six 'neighbours', and similar percentages of other neighbours (shown in this graph) The computer then counted how many neighbours surrounded each fairy circle. Another group of researchers had calculated skin cell neighbours in a similar way several years ago, which was used as a comparison. The experts found that the results were almost identical, in that both the majority of skin cells and fairy circles had six neighbours. And the percentage of fairy circles with four, five, six, seven, eight and nine neighbours was essentially the same as the skin cells. \u2018I didn't expect it to be so close,\u2019 Professor Sinclair said. \u2018We spent a lot of time checking because it really looked too close to believe.\u2019 Mr Zhang, a PhD student at Iowa State University who was previously at OISTsaid that future mathematical models designed to", "summary": "It is not known how fairy circles in the Namibian desert are made .

Marilyn Zuniga sparked outrage for allowing her third grade class in Orange, New Jersey, to pen letters to murderer Mumia Abu-Jamal, after he collapsed in the bathroom of the State Correctional Institution at Mahanoy. Abu-Jamal, 60, is serving a life sentence in prison after he shot Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in cold blood in 1981. Marilyn Zuniga apologised after she allowed her students to write to convicted police killer Mumia Abu-Jamal after he became ill while serving a life sentence in prison, but said the students wanted to write to him . Ms Zuniga has apologised for publicising the efforts of her pupils online, but said they had wanted to write to Abu-Jamal, according to philly.com. Both her pupils and high school students in the Philadelphia Student Union wrote to the killer. Ms Zuniga spoke at the Orange school board after she was suspended from her position while officials investigate. She explained that she had previously asked her class to consider Abu-Jamal's quote 'So long as one just person is silenced, there is no justice.' She said when she told students the former Black Panther was ill, they had asked to write to him in prison. Ms Zuniga told the board she had made a mistake and was prepared to resign rather than be fired, to prevent damage to her career. Mumia's supporters say photos of the killer eleased this week by his wife show how ill and frail he is . Third graders in Orange, New Jersey, and high school students in the Philadelphia Student Union sent Mumia Abu-Jamal letters wishing him well after he was hospitalized last week . The letters caused many to criticize the actions of the teacher. Richard Costello, political coordinator for the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police, said the letters set a dangerous example. He previously told Fox News: 'I think its both alarming and outrageous that any teacher would use a group of innocent seven-year-olds to promote a twisted agenda glorifying murder, glorifying hatred and glorifying violence,' Abu Jamal was sentenced to life in prison after he shot Mr Faulkner in the back and then, once he was dead, in between the eyes. Abu-Jamal shot dead Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981, shooting him at first in the back . His conviction was upheld through years of appeals, but he has gained international support for his claim that he's the victim of a racist justice system. Abu-Jamal was originally sentenced to death for the killing, but this was overturned in 2012. The official reason the convicted killer was hospitalized has not been released. However reports say he was suffering high blood sugar levels which may be linked to diabetes. The killer's supporters include celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, and many hail him as a revolutionary.

Clark, who first visited the park 33 years ago with her mother and grandmother, prayed to God, asking, 'Are you doing to bless me and let me find a diamond today?' as she searched the field. Susie Clark, of Evening Shade, Arkansas, found a 3.69-carat white diamond on a search field at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas . Clark named the pinto-bean-sized, teardrop-shaped gem a 'hallelujah diamond' because she spotted the gem shortly after praying that she would find something . And shortly after praying, Clark said she spotted the diamond sticking out of a ridge of plowed dirt, according to Region 8. She named the teardrop-shaped diamond the Hallelujah Diamond, claiming that her prayer helped her find the gem. Clark plans to keep the pinto-sized diamond, which is the largest diamond of the 122 found in the park this year.

After taking the tablets her metabolism began to soar and she started to overheat. While doctors desperately tried to stabilise her, she died just three hours later. Her mother issued a stark warning about buying diet pills online, saying her daughter never intended to take her own life, she just didn't understand the danger of taking an overdose of the tablets. Here, Dr Simon Cotton, a senior lecturer in chemistry at the University of Birmingham, explains how DNP came to be used as a diet pill, and why it the chemical is so dangerous\u2026 . Writing for The Conversation, Dr Cotton said: Eloise Aimee Parry was the latest of a string of young people to fall victim to the chemical 2,4-dinitrophenol, known as DNP. It is a very dangerous chemical and scientists have been aware of this for nearly a century. During World War I, DNP was sometimes used to fill armour-piercing shells, as a mixture with picric acid, known as Shellite or Tridite. An explosion in a munitions factory at Rainham in Essex in 1916 was attributed to the chemical. Just like TNT it was found to be toxic to the munitions workers handling it. Many of them lost weight dramatically and some even died simply by absorbing it through their skin. The commercial use of DNP is as a pesticide or herbicide and, in 2009, 11 workers in a Chinese chemical factory \u2013 plus nine of their relatives \u2013 contracted DNP poisoning, their skins turned yellow or even black and two died. After World War I, scientists at Stanford University investigated DNP to see if it was a useful slimming aid. They established that the chemical boosted metabolism by up to 50 per cent, leading to considerable weight loss without dieting.

The drug was developed by the British pharmaceutical giant Astra Zeneca with the original aim of treating certain types of tumour, but was shelved after it proved ineffective. Scientists at Yale University in Connecticut in the US have revealed how the treatment, called AZDO5030, restored memory in mice given Alzheimer's disease. An experimental cancer drug axed over poor results may have the ability to reverse the effects of Alzheimer's, experts have revealed (file picture) The drug worked by blocking a process that breaks nerve connections in the brain used to store memory. Researchers say the study has led to the launch of human trials to test the efficacy of the drug in Alzheimer's patients. Stephen Strittmatter, the author of the report, published in Annals of Neurology, said: 'With this treatment, cells under bombardment by beta amyloid plaques show restored synaptic connections and reduced inflammation, and the animal\u2019s memory, which was lost during the course of the disease, comes back. The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health which launched a programme to test failed drugs on different diseases. Mr Strittmatter and his co-author Christopher van Dyck have already started a 'multi-site clinical trial' to determine whether the drug can also benefit Alzheimer's patients. According to the Alzheimer's Society, there are 850,000 people with dementia in Britain - a figure that includes 40,000 younger people. The charity estimates that 60,000 deaths are attributable to dementia every year and that there will be one million people with the disease in the UK by 2025. It reports that the financial cost of dementia to the UK is \u00a326billion a year. The Daily Express reports the charity's head of research Dr James Pickett as giving the latest treatment a cautious welcome. He said: 'Drug development can take decades, so repurposing pre-existing drugs for dementia is a promising avenue to find new treatments as they have been shown to be safe to use in people and can lead to clinical trials sooner. 'As we learn more about the causes of dementia, there is hope that treatments we routinely use for other diseases may also work for people with dementia.'", "summary": "Drug called AZDO5030 originally designed to treat certain types of tumour .

+{"article": "Antarctica has experienced its highest temperature on record, according to meteorologists. Sensors at Argentina's Esperanza Base on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula recorded a temperature of 17.5\u00b0C (63.5\u00b0F). According to meteorologists this is potentially a new record for the warmest temperature measured on the frozen continent. The new temperature record was measured on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula (pictured) where the ice shelf covering the sea has declined considerably in recent years and glaciers are thought to be receding . Over a two day period last week temperatures reached 17.4\u00b0C (63.3\u00b0F) and 17.5\u00b0C (63.5\u00b0F). However, the heatwave on the coldest continent on Earth has still to be officially certified by the World Meteorological Organisation. Antarctica's icy edge is disappearing in warming ocean waters, with the last decade seeing the rate of ice loss increase dramatically. This is according to a new study that has combined 18-years worth of ice shelf thinning data from three different sets of satellites. The researchers claim that some ice shelves in West Antarctica have lost as much as 18 per cent of their volume in the last ten years. Satellite data from 1994 to . 2012 clearly shows the accelerating decline which could hasten the rise in global sea levels, . scientists say. The findings come amid concern among many scientists about the effects of . global climate change on Earth's vast, remote polar regions. The previous hottest temperature recorded in Antarctica - which is usually the coldest place on Earth - was in April 24 1961 when the temperature reached 17.1\u00b0C (62.8\u00b0F). Writing for website Weather Underground, meteorologist Dr Jeff Masters said: 'A new all-time temperature record for an entire continent is a rare event. 'This week's record temperatures were made possible by an unusually extreme jet stream contortion that brought a strong ridge of high pressure over the Antarctic Peninsula, allowing warm air from South America to push southwards over Antarctica. 'At the surface, west to east blowing winds over the Antarctic Peninsula rose up over the 1,000-foot high mountains just to the west of Esperanza Base, then descended and warmed via adiabatic compression (without transfer of heat) into a warm foehn wind (a warm dry wind that blows down a slope).' Antarctica is known as the coldest place on Earth where temperatures have dropped to -93.2\u00b0C (-135.8\u00b0F) on the East Antarctic Plateau. The graphic above shows rates of thickness change around the Antarctic coastline with areas of most loss in the past 18 years indicated by red circles and areas where ice has increased shown by blue circles . However, the Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming spots on Earth.

The move comes after Federal Communications Commission decided that merger wasn't in the public interest and threw up a regulatory roadblock following fierce opposition from net neutrality activists and content providers like Disney and 21st Century Fox. Bloomberg, followed by the New York Times, reported Thursday afternoon that Comcast is planning to 'walk away' from the deal rather than fight it out with the federal government. An announcement from the telecoms giant, already the biggest cable company in the country, could come as early as tomorrow. Comcast and Time Warner Cable declined to comment on Thursday. Scroll down for video . Ding-dong: Experts, including Columbia University professor Tim Wu, declared the Comcast-Time Warner Cable murder dead after the FCC expressed skepticism . Mega-merger: The $45.2billion deal would have merged Comcast's 30million customers with Time Warner Cable's 11million. The new company would have spun off or sold 3.9million customers . The proposed merger would have controlled 57percent of the broadband internet market and 30 percent of the paid TV market with more than 27million customers across the nation. On Wednesday night, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Federal Communications Commission regulators questioned whether the creation of mega-size TV and internet provider was in the public interest. Staffers reportedly planned to recommend that an administrative law judge review the deal - a regulatory obstacle that is likely to cost both companies several months of hearings and many millions of dollars. The hearings were likely to draw the companies past the merger deadline, at the very least. Columbia University professor and net neutrality activist Tim Wu tweeted: 'Comcast merger is dead.' CNN's Brian Stelter reports that some inside the companies were talking about the deal in the past tense almost immediately after the FCC decision. Combining the No. 1 and No. 2 U.S. cable companies would put nearly 30 percent of TV and about 55 percent of broadband subscribers under one roof. That would give the resulting behemoth unprecedented power over what Americans watch and download. That has had competitors, consumer groups, and Senators lining up to oppose the deal. Time Warner Cable's shares dipped slightly in trading on Thursday - though Comcast stocks were actually up after the news . 'This is one of those deals where the opponents of the merger have been one of the most vocal I can remember,' said S&P Capital IQ Tuna Amobi. One concern, for example, is that the company could undermine the streaming video industry by requiring onerous payments from new online-only video providers for connecting to its network. Dish, the satellite TV company behind the new Web video service Sling TV, and Netflix are opposed to the deal. Another charge is that Comcast hasn't stuck to conditions imposed on it when it bought NBCUniversal. The company says it has, except for one circumstance when the FCC found it wasn't promoting a stand-alone Internet service. Comcast says it fixed that.

Pictured is a view of a section of the image map Mosaic 'MC-11 East' is on the right and the topographical view can be seen on the left. The warmer colours show a higher elevation . The colour-coded terrain models show the impressive height of the Meridiani Planum region at up to 820ft (250 metres) above the surface, seen in red. This is in contrast to the blue 1,6404ft (5,000 metres) depth of the lower-lying Chryse Planitia region. The first mosaic, pieced together by the German Aerospace Center (DLR), comprises 1.4 million square miles (2.3 million square km) of the surface. It covers the vast crater-strewn highland region of the red planet, parts of the Ares Vallis outflow channel, the chaotic Aram Chaos region as well as the Meridiani Planum and Chryse Planitia plains. The new map allows scientists to 'stand' on planetary surfaces and could help explain how water and lava once flowed across Mars. Pictured is a colour-coded perspective view showing the topography of the upper course of Ares Vallis near the Chryse Planitia plains . Constructing a 3D model such as this requires a spacecraft to look at the same surface feature twice at a different angle. The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express is the only experiment that can do it with just one pass. HRSC has nine scan lines that point fore, aft and straight down. This allows it to see a feature on approach, when its underneath and as it fades into the background. HRSC has, during 14,000 orbits, transmitted 293.34 gigabytes of data to Earth. 'Gerhard Mercator and Carl Friedrich Gauss measured Earth, and with our survey of Mars we are following in their footsteps,' says Ralf Jaumann, a DLR planetary scientist. The mosaic extends over 1,120 miles (1800km) from north to south and 810 miles (1,300km) from east to west. Individual stereo and colour images from a total of 89 Martian orbits were combined to create the map. 'The strips were recorded at varying resolutions, with the sun at different positions and under varying weather conditions,' Jaumann said. 'The challenge was to combine them uniformly and without visible borders to form one large image.' Perspective views look into the Ares Vallis outflow channel or into a crater altered by typical Mars erosion processes typical on Mars.

They are eight points clear of Millwall and bar a miraculous resurgence from one of the bottom three sides will stay up but the fact relegation is still mathematically feasible for a club that were in the Premier League last season is alarming. A vertiginous decline, just one victory in their last seven games had seen them dragged back into a relegation battle and after a painful 4-1 trouncing by bitter rivals Brentford last week, Symons was looking for a quick response from his players. Johann Gudmundsson celebrates his first-half effort as Charlton come from behind to earn a point . The Icelandic winger is joined by his Charlton teammates as they celebrate his equaliser at The Valley . He got it with Ross McCormack giving them the lead after eight minutes. A superb long ball by Michael Turner found Matt Smith who headed on to the Scotsman to loop the ball over the top of Charlton goalkeeper Stephen Henderson in front of the 1620 travelling fans in the Jimmy Seed stand. The passage of time has clearly not dulled the bad feeling Charlton fans harbour towards Scott Parker. The midfielder, who missed the Brentford game through illness, departed the club more than a decade ago but his every touch of the ball was greeted by a chorus of boos.

It was left for a waiting Johann Gudmundsson to fire his 10th goal of the season into the top right corner. Goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, who seemed rooted to the spot, wisely dragged a furious James Husband, who seemed to believe the goal offside, from a confrontation with the linesman. Almost the whole stadium thought Gudmundsson had nabbed his second when Igor Vetokele set him up with the whole goal to aim at but the winger contrived to miss, hitting the side netting instead.

On Saturday the spacecraft had dipped to within nine miles (14km) of the surface to take a closer look at the jets that are being ejected from its surface. But during the manoeuvre, Rosetta lost sense of where it was due to the amount of dust and gas and was placed into \u2018safe mode\u2019, causing it to momentarily lose contact with Earth. The European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft (illustrated) has survived a hair-raising encounter with comet 67P after the probe ran into difficulties during a recent flyby. Rosetta launched into space in 2004 and entered orbit around 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August 2014 . \u2018Not the best month to choose to go dry\u2026\u2019 Rosetta project scientist Dr Matt Taylor quipped on Twitter, as the team back on Earth sweated over the safety of the spacecraft. The problems arose due to Rosetta\u2019s limited vision owing to the amount of material it was flying through. The spacecraft uses two star trackers to work out where it is in space, in addition to a sun sensor, navigation cameras and three laser gyroscopes. Crucially, the star trackers allow Rosetta to know where it is with respect to the sun and Earth, so it can correctly orient its antenna to send and receive signals from ground stations on our planet. The Rosetta probe, which was carrying Philae, launched into space in 2004, using the gravity of Earth and Mars to slingshot its way towards comet 67P. It chased comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko through space for more than ten years, and entered orbit in August 2014. After a four billion mile (6.5 billion km) journey, the probe then successfully released the Philae lander from its grip to land on the comet on 12 November 2014, travelling at 3.3ft (one metre) per second relative to the comet. But when it first made contact with the surface it failed to fire harpoons that would have kept it attached to the comet. This resulted in it bouncing to a height of 0.62 miles (1km) above the comet before again landing on the surface. It then bounced again, but to a much lower altitude. Philae managed to perform more than 90 per cent of its goals before running out of power. Rosetta, meanwhile, is continuing to orbit and study the comet. From data collected by the two proves, Esa said that water on the comet was different to that on Earth - suggesting water on our world came from an asteroid, not a comet. When the star trackers are not working properly, the antenna drifts, causing communications to be temporarily lost. And during the recent flyby, the spacecraft started to mistake comet debris for stars, causing it to lose sight of Earth. The spacecraft autonomously attempted to readjust itself but struggled due to its close proximity to comet 67P. Esa said that \u2018hundreds of \u201cfalse stars\u201d were registered\u2019 and it took nearly 24 hours before the spacecraft could properly start tracking again.

Here, MailOnline Travel looks ahead at exactly what holidaymakers can expect from flights and accommodations in the future, and attempts to answer the age old question: when will teleportation become a reality? What does the future of travel hold? Think: biometric scanning, sustainable hotels and personalised bookings . By 2030... In 15 years, digital advancements will have made the discovery, planning and booking of a journey into a seamless and intuitive experience. 'Travel search and booking will be as easy as buying a book on Amazon,' explains Skyscanner's CEO and Co-Founder Gareth Williams. Instead of tapping away at your computer to book flights and accommodations, Global Futurist Daniel Burrus tells Skyscanner that in the future, each of us may have an 'e-agent,' inside a watch or small piece of jewellery, that goes everywhere with us. 'It could have the face, voice and personality of our favourite actor or comedian and appear to use as a 3D hologram image, or inside a virtual environment, at our verbal command,' he explains. The travel experience will become much more personalised in the next few years, including using biometrics . While that seems a bit extreme, it's not outside the realm of possibility that the travel experience will become much more personalised in the next few years. Computers, through analysing our searches online and cross-referencing our preferences, will be able to use predictive algorithms to make tailored suggestions. This predictive software, as it's known, will also likely take into consideration the personal data we post about ourselves on social media when developing detailed itineraries. And when we do jet off, it will be even easier than it is today. The flight-booking site believes that major technological advances will have eliminated the need for check-in lines and desks. Instead, you will be able to drop your bag at automated points in the terminal. Forget having to carry a passport, digital scanning technology will make check-in a seamless process .

Researchers at the University of Sheffield analysed people with a body mass index of 30 or more - a recognised measure of obesity. They found obese people fall into one of six categories: . The scientists said their findings suggest that clinicians and policy makers should not target obese people as a whole, rather treat them according to the 'type' of obese person they are. Dr Mark Green, who led the study, said: 'Policies designed to tackle obesity and encourage healthier lifestyles often target individuals just because they are obese. 'But a focus on just the group as a whole is not very efficient. We are all different and different health promotion approaches work for different people.

It supports a crew of up to six, with crews split into groups of three. The station orbits at a height of about 255 miles (410km). It has a total mass of about 990,000 pounds (450,000kg) and has living space roughly equivalent to a five-bedroom house. It completes an orbit of Earth every 92.91 minutes and moves at 17,100 miles (27,600km) per hour. The two men also set up antennas and routed 4000 feet (1219m) of power and data cables.

But while no one's perfect and some troubled souls are worth saving, others are just trouble. All of the behavioural traits below are danger signs, offering six crucial clues to spot the dysfunctional people most likely to break your heart. Scroll down for video . Tracey Cox provides advice on whether he loves you or will break your heart . 1. How 'in touch' with themselves are they? Are they aware of their character and personality faults? Do they know their strengths? They don't have to have spent the last decade on a therapist's couch to have done some soul-searching. Have they sorted out the emotional baggage from childhood and past relationships or are they trailing it along behind them? Find out: Ask questions. What are your family like? Are you close to them? Are you friends with your exes? Why did you split up? Did it hurt? How do you stay positive? 2. Are they affectionate and able to express their feelings? Yes, yes, we all know men like to disappear into their caves. But the person who knows what they're feeling and shares their feelings with you is going to be a lot easier to share a bathroom with than the person who locks themselves in it. Find out: Ask them anything to see if they will open up. You seem a bit distant tonight, anything bothering you? Do they grab your arm, kiss you spontaneously, say nice things \u2013 or does hugging them feel like you're cuddling an ironing board? 3. Are they honest? Are they a 'good' person? Can you count on them to do the right thing by you and others? Do they treat their friends and family well? Do the right thing in business? Whatever your partner does to other people, they're more than capable of doing to you. Find out: Do they have lots of friends, or have much contact with their family? Are they generally popular, or do people seem a little distrustful of them and stand-offish? Are they well liked at work? 4. Are they an adult? Sounds like a stupid question but some people simply don't grow up. Does this person know how to cook, clean, look after themselves, pay bills on time and manage their money? Are they mature enough to know they can't afford a Lamborghini when they're barely covering the rent? Tracey says that if he doesn't like himself then it will be difficult to form a happy relationship . Find out: Does their home look like a bomb's hit it? Is there lots of unopened mail (unpaid bills) stacked up on the side? Do they seem to be living beyond their means for the job they have? Do they ever ask you to lend them cash or bail them out? 5.

They have rampaged through opposition defences both at home and abroad all season. They have already been crowned kings of Europe in the UEFA Youth League. And here, with yet another devastating performance, they put Chelsea within touching distance of retaining the FA Youth Cup, in the process further augmenting their remarkable goalscoring tallies and enhancing their growing reputations.

Abraham is congratulated by his Chelsea team-mates as his acrobatic effort regained their advantage against Manchester City . Abraham is congratulated by his Chelsea team-mates having given the west London side the lead against Manchester City . After Manchester City were put to the sword in this first leg on Monday night, the pair\u2019s records for the season stand like this: Tammy Abraham - 36 goals; Dominic Solanke - 35 goals. That\u2019s one hell of a return. Both are in that special moment of form where it is nigh on impossible to miss and that was the case here as the dark Blues from London established a healthy advantage to take into the second leg at Stamford Bridge in seven days\u2019 time. When Solanke had raced through to make it 3-1 just before the end, you sensed it was a fatal blow. Of course there is a chance City may fight back - nothing is out of the question in youth football - but there was something about Chelsea\u2019s dominance here that suggests it is unlikely. This was the most high-profile meeting yet of England\u2019s two most ambitious and well-resourced academies and, for the moment, it is definitely Chelsea who are on top. Another tickertape parade surely awaits for this group of players next week. \u2018Obviously it\u2019s a daunting place to come,\u2019 said Chelsea coach Joe Edwards. \u2018But we wanted to make sure we did what we do best, dominate possession, get right up against them and press hard. The way the lads implemented what we spoke about before the game was outstanding.\u2019 Indeed it was and the unfailing right boot of Abraham provided a moment to savour after just seven minutes. Even the technically fiendish chances are flying in for the unstoppable England under 18 forward at the moment and that was proven when he controlled Charlie Colkett\u2019s laser-guided cross-field pass and sent the ball arrowing beyond goalkeeper Christian Haug into the top corner. Within minutes, Abraham was trending on Twitter, clips of his immaculate hit racking up the retweets the world over.

Liverpool Football Club have made some poor decisions in terms of signings and contracts since Luis Suarez departed, and those mistakes look set to cost them their place in the top four. For Brendan Rodgers' sake whoever is in charge of sorting out Sterling's new contract this summer needs to get it right. If they think they can afford to lose Suarez, Gerrard and Sterling in the space of 12 months they are very much mistaken. Raheem Sterling's contract negotiations have dominated the headlines in the past fortnight . Sterling shares a laugh in training ahead of Liverpool's FA Cup replay with Blackburn on Wednesday . Mario Balotelli earns more than double Sterling at present despite failing to perform in a Liverpool shirt . Sterling's agent has been accused of giving him bad advice. Apparently what people want his agent to tell him is that he's not particularly good, he's too young to earn big money, and he should sign whatever contract Liverpool offer him because he should be grateful just to even be there. The advice the agent gave was to turn down the contract offer and focus on football until the summer. Sounds reasonable to me. The big problem here is not the tired old narrative of a young greedy footballer. It's that Liverpool, through Rodgers, have repeatedly told the press and the fans that there would be no problem and Sterling would sign the new deal. In the middle of December, Rodgers described Sterling as 'a talisman' and told us he was confident he would stay. At the end of January, Rodgers told us the contract would be 'concluded imminently'.

'How dare this greedy young man who's won nothing, scored less goals than Jon Walters (who thought that one up?) turn down this incredible offer from this great club. He should be grateful to be at such a club.' This was the standard response from people out of touch with the modern game.

Precious Richardson Coleman, 29, turned herself in to police Saturday and awaits two charges of attempted murder after running down 24-year-old Beatrice 'Dee Dee' Spence and her uncle in her 2004 white Dodge Durango. WPVI reports that Coleman had shown up on Spence's block in the Nicetown neighborhood of Philadelphia, before Spence went out to confront her. Struck down: 'Dee Dee' Spence, 24, lost her leg in an intentional hit and run by 29-year-old Precious Richardson Coleman, who believed Spence was trying to steal her boyfriend, according to family members . That's when Coleman sped forward, hopping the curb and striking both Spence and her uncle, 37-year-old Damon Watson, who was standing alongside his niece. 'She jumped up on the pavement,' Watson told the Daily News. 'I turned, and the car threw me. She hit me on the side. I bounced off the car.' 'I turned and saw Dee Dee. Her whole leg was flying off,' Watson continued. 'It was hanging off. She was screaming in pain.' Family members said the SUV briefly pinned Spence against the porch, before Coleman reversed and sped away. Paramedics arrived and transported Spence to Temple University Hospital in critical condition, where she had to have her right leg amputated below the knee. Spence's mother, Danika, had been frying chicken and cooking macaroni and cheese, but left the kitchen in a rush to help her daughter. Charged: Coleman turned herself in to police Saturday morning and is held on $750,000 for attempted murder and related charges . Hit and run: A security camera caught Coleman's SUV speeding away from the scene. The vehicle was later found by police with significant damage to the front bumper . Double tragedy: Spence's mother, Danika, ran out of the house to help her daughter, leaving unattended food cooking on the stove, which triggered a housefire . The unattended stove went up in flames, causing a housefire that consumed both the Spences' home and a neighbor's, before firefighters extinguished the blaze. The hit and run was the climax of a simmering feud between the two women over Coleman's current boyfriend, whom Spence had reportedly dated in the past. 'She thought Dee Dee was with him,' Spence's sister Alissa, 14, told the Daily News. 'She wasn't at all. That was her ex. They weren't seeing each other anymore. She had moved on.' At 5 a.m. on the morning of the incident, relatives say, Coleman showed up at the front of the home that Spence shared with her mother and two younger sisters. 'It's Precious,' Ameria Spence, 9, recalled hearing Coleman saying. 'Tell your daughter to stop f****** blocking me on Instagram!'

Left on the bench for Wednesday night\u2019s home clash with Kilmarnock, perhaps uncertain over his place in the starting XI for Sunday\u2019s Scottish Cup semi-final against Inverness, the Celtic striker scored a 19-minute hat-trick to guide his team to a handsome 4-1 victory. The Treble-chasing reigning champions came from a goal down, inspired by Kris Commons and the second-half introduction of Griffiths, to record a win that takes them eight points clear at the top of the Premiership \u2013 and lifts confidence ahead of their trip to Hampden. Hat-trick hero Leigh Griffiths with signed match ball and man of the match award . Darryl Westlake\u2019s wickedly deflected strike early in the second half had given the visitors a shock lead completely against the run of play \u2013 only for Commons to equalise in spectacular, if contested, fashion eight minutes later. As good and important as Commons was for Celtic, though, even his performance was overshadowed by the arrival of Griffiths, who simply exploded on to the scene with three goals of supreme quality in less time than it takes for the average warm down. Rightly named Man of the Match despite playing for just over half an hour, the former Hibs front man eased all the frets and fears of home fans on a night that had looked to be slipping away from their team. Celtic's Leigh Griffiths (right) completes his hat-trick against Kilmarnock . Celtic had begun the night with a starting XI looking very much like the team Deila might have been thinking about for Hampden, all things being equal; leaving Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven, both suspended for the semi-final, on the bench suggested that he was giving his Cup formation a gentle run out. Against a Kilmarnock team whose ambition rarely threatened to over-reach their ability, there were certainly passages of play that resembled nothing so uncompetitive as a training session. With Lee Miller plodding along on his lonesome up front and only the pace of left winger Tope Obadeyi carrying even the hint of a threat to the home side, the visitors \u2013 doughty in defence but reliably clumsy on the ball \u2013 were obviously intent on playing a containing game. Griffiths collects the match ball after his second-half hat trick on Wednesday night . Maybe, just maybe, they\u2019d catch Celtic sleeping and grab a surprise goal. And, if not, well, a nil-nil at Parkhead is never a disgrace, right? The problem for those who turned up in anticipation of a football match was that, however well Celtic played, attack against defence boasts only so much in the way of entertainment value. James Forrest looked the most obvious outlet for a Celtic breakthrough, the winger scampering down the left and finding space where none should have existed, though too often making the wrong call. The former Scotland regular might have scored himself with seven minutes on the clock, tearing into the box and receiving an Emilio Izaguirre pass at pace, yet Forrest\u2019s", "summary": "Defender Darryl Westlake fired Kilmarnock ahead in the 50th minute .

The new image, which is the work of top photographer Oliver Dann, was taken in the run-up to last month's visit to the U.S but was released by Clarence House today. In it, Charles wears a country coat made from Inveravon Estate Tweed and a matching hat by Lock & Co, while Camilla sports a hat by the same firm and a coat by Moncler. Charles and Camilla finally married following a relationship spanning 35 years in a relatively quiet civil ceremony at the Windsor Guildhall on the 9th April 2005. Despite fears that the couple would be booed - Camilla was reportedly so nervous that she had to be dragged out of bed - the ceremony went off without a hitch. Since then, the Duchess of Cornwall as she is now known, has become an integral part of the Royal Family - and would be cheerfully accepted as Charles' queen by 50 per cent of Britons. That marks a significant turnaround from the Duchess' earliest days as a royal, with Camilla following Charles' lead and often appearing nervous in front of photographers. But her enthusiastic championing of causes ranging from osteoporosis to sexual abuse survivors has not gone unnoticed and her relationship with the Queen is now said to be close. 'Her role has changed dramatically,' explains royal biographer Penny Junor. 'One minute she was a mistress and then she was an HRH. 'When she first married Charles she was very nervous. On her wedding day, she was terrified. She had no idea if she would be booed in the street. 'In fact, there was a very warm reception. The streets were packed in Windsor. She has slowly gained courage and confidence. Initially she was very much in the background, supporting the Prince and she still does that. 'She's never had any ambition for herself. She didn't want to be a princess or a duchess. She just happened to love a man who was the Prince of Wales and look at the fuss that caused. She doesn't want to be a star or be curtseyed to.

A UPS driver had one of his legs ripped off after being crushed against his own truck by a car which swerved to avoid a jaywalker. Tom Ryan, 40, was struck by a Toyota while making deliveries on Staten Island, leaving the hanging by a thread. Onlookers used a shirt as a tourniquet in a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding. Witness Moe Sattar, a mechanic at the tyre store on Hylan Boulevard, said: 'Tom was screaming. 'One of his legs was laying next to him under the truck. Then he got quiet when he was bleeding out.' Mr Ryan, a married father-of-two, was taken to Staten Island University before being transferred by air ambulance to the trauma unit at Belleview hospital, FDNY sources told the New York Post. He has lost one leg, but is expected to live, a UPS representative said. The driver of the Toyota, which had North Carolina licence plates, told officers he swerved to avoid a pedestrian, according to law enforcement sources. Mr Sattar backed up this account, adding that the driver was believed to be a teenager. The NYPD said no charges were filed against the driver. He said the jaywalker stopped to rubberneck but left before emergency services reached the scene. According to Mr Ryan's Facebook page, his son, Malachy, believed to be aged eight or nine, was hit by a bus around four years ago while walking home from school. Malachy was a 'bloody mess' and needed a neck brace, but doctors said 'he would be OK', he wrote.

Raiola, steeped in Italian and Dutch football, is one of the most influential agents in the game, with Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and Liverpool\u2019s Mario Balotelli among his high-profile clients.

Martinez said: \u2018He has changed his agent, yes, but we are not concerned, no. Rom is entitled to do that. \u2018Everyone speaks about the colourful character that Mino Raiola is but he has a lot of players who are very much people who are happy to stay at one club. \u2018I dealt with Mino Raiola at Wigan and not many people know that he had Danny de Ridder or Vladimir Weiss, players who have been happy to stay at a club.

Lerner has long been in the GOP's crosshairs because she led the IRS department tasked with approving nonprofit groups' applications for tax-exempt status.

'It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot,\u2019 Queen Victoria said of her holiday residence, Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. It was at the beach there that she would take to the sea in her wooden bathing machine, and that all of her children learned to swim. But, however pleasing her days at Osborne House, Victoria\u2019s journeys there were never easy. She would travel to Portsmouth by train and then by ferry to Ryde. From Ryde there was a railway line that passed not far from Osborne House but the nearest station was at Wootton, more than two miles from the property. So, in 1875, a station was built at Whippingham, the closest point on the line to Osborne House \u2013 just to serve the Royal residence. Accommodation was built for the stationmaster, as well as waiting rooms with toilets for both ladies and gentlemen. The building is now a five-bedroom family home, currently on the market for \u00a3625,000, while the track has become a cycle path. Victoria died in 1901 and the station went into public use in 1903. However, services ended in 1966, after which the station was converted into a home.

Victoria, and those who visited her on the Isle of Wight, would be taken by horse and carriage from Whippingham station to Osborne House. In 1900, Whippingham station made another piece of history, with the appointment of a stationmistress, rather than master \u2013 almost unheard of at the time. Emily Merwood took over the role from her father-in-law.

Burgess, who is joining Sydney Roosters at the end of the year, scored three of the Warriors' seven tries in a 40-22 victory - their first Super League success in West Yorkshire for 18 months - to help his side climb above St Helens into second place in the table, at least for 24 hours. It was a third consecutive win for Shaun Wane's men and a fifth from their last six matches but their hard-to-please coach will be far from happy with their performance and his mood will have worsened by a hamstring injury to centre Anthony Gelling. Joe Burgess (left) was in fine form for Wigan with his first Super League hat-trick . It was a ninth successive defeat for the Wildcats, who remain rooted to the foot of the table, but a vast improvement on their 80-0 rout by Warrington in their previous league game. Still without seven senior players through injury, Wakefield gave a debut to Widnes loanee prop Ben Kavanagh, a first start to young loose forward Jordan Crowther and a first Super League outing for former Leeds prop Ian Kirke. And their problems worsened when Kirke sustained a broken thumb and loose forward Danny Washbrook damaged a rib to leave coach James Webster cursing his luck. Yet the Wildcats made the best possible start, with makeshift centre Matt Ryan breaking clear from his own half to create a try for full-back Craig Hall, who kicked the first of his three goals. Wigan looked to have gained control, however, when prop Dom Crosby took Michael McIlorum's pass to crash over for his first try for more than two years and scrum-half Matty Smith skipped through Wildcats defence for a solo score. Flying wingers Burgess and Dom Manfredi both produced clinical finishes to double the Warriors' try tally before half-time but the gritty Yorkshiremen would not lie down as the game opened up after Sam Powell (Wigan) and Tim Smith (Wakefield) were despatched to the sin bin following a skirmish. Daniel Smith got skipper Danny Kirmond through a chink in the visitors' defence for one try and stand-off Pita Godinet added another on the stroke of half-time, darting over from dummy half, as Wakefield eyed a repeat of last year's shock win over Wane's men. Burgess scorched over for his second try within two minutes of the re-start following more smart work from his centre partner Dan Sarginson as Wigan established a 12-point lead for the third time. But Godinet pounced on a stray pass from former Wigan's Wakefield forward Taulima Tautai to get winger Chris Riley over for a fourth Wildcats try to cut the deficit to 30-22. However, the game always looked to be within Wigan's grasp and they opened up a three-score lead on 57 minutes when prop Lee Mossop proved unstoppable from 10 metres out.", "summary": "Wigan secured their first away win of the Super League season .

The Finnish passport displays a walking moose when the pages are flipped, while the cover of Belgium\u2019s passports offer three different sequences of languages, starting with Dutch, French or German. Meanwhile, the British passport is also one of the most powerful travel documents on the planet, but it doesn't come cheap.

But the 24-year-old has now revealed that as a teenager her life was made a misery by cruel bullies who taunted her for her striking looks to the extent that she felt physically ill. Scroll down for video . Jourdan Dunn has revealed in an interview that she was severely bullied at school, which led to her suffering from incredibly low self-esteem . In an interview with The Times, Jourdan said she was often picked on from primary school until secondary school when the situation was so bad she had to be home-schooled. 'I didn't want to leave the house,' she remembered. She added: 'I didn't want to look in the mirror. I would feel physically sick. I hated being me. 'I hated going to school. I already didn't like the way I looked and now people were making me feel bad.' As a result, the teenager began skipping school, which led to her being home-schooled for a while.

Jack Grealish could end up playing for Republic of Ireland against England in June... but would still be able to switch allegiance to line up for the Three Lions afterwards. That is due to a FIFA ruling stating friendly match appearances do not commit a player to one country. High-profile examples of the clause being used are Diego Costa, who played two friendlies for Brazil before choosing Spain, Jermaine Jones switching from Germany to the USA, while Thiago Motta had three caps for Brazil and now represents Italy. Gareth Southgate made contact about a year ago and last October made public his desires to include Grealish in his England Under-21 side.

The group claimed the eviction 'violated' the human rights of the 39 children living on the site in 60 caravans . Last October, the camp, which had flouted planning rules, appeared to have lost its case after the travellers were told to move out by the Court of Appeal. But despite being given four months to leave the site without the chance to appeal, the group used a loophole to take their case to the Supreme Court.

Adam Connelly joked on Twitter. 'BUT WHERE WILL I WALK AROUND WITHOUT A SHIRT WHILST ON PINGAZ?!' Jake Finnigan posted on Facebook. More than 230 people were arrested over drug-related offences at Future Music Festival events around the country, which took place in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane between February 28 and March 9. On Thursday, organisers of the annual event released a statement announcing that it has been cancelled. Many people were genuinely upset over the announcement - blaming the festival organisers for sending themselves broke by spending too much money on headline acts Drake and Avicii . In a statement it was explained that due to low ticket sales and high operational costs, the festival could not continue . In the beginning: The festival first began in 2006 as a standalone one day festival in Sydney . 'It\u2019s been a difficult decision to make but in the end travelling the festival in its current form across Australia simply doesn\u2019t make financial sense anymore' the statement read. Following Thursday's announcement, music fans took to social media to express their disappointment. 'I've been to 5 out of the last 6 futures in Sydney and it's always been my favourite festival.

Ronald Miscavige, 79, had recently left the Church of Scientology, which has been under the leadership of his 54-year-old son since 1986.

Powell reportedly recounted to police how one time he was tailing Mr Miscavige when he witnessed the elderly man clasp his chest and slump over while placing groceries in his car. Thinking that Miscavige was having a heart attack, the private investigator called his supervisor and asked for further instructions. Minutes later, he got a call from David Miscavige himself, according to the records, who told Powell that 'if it was Ron's time to die, to let him die and not intervene in any way.' The elder Miscavige eventually came to and drove off. Last year, Dwayne Powell was charged with a single count of possession of an illegal silencer, but the indictment against him was later dismissed .

These zombie stars are thought to be leaving a 'mass grave' of white dwarf stars near the centre of the Milky Way. But why there are so many of these stars here - which are left behind when a larger star runs out of fuel - remains a mystery. Scroll down for video . The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuStar, has captured a new high-energy X-ray view (magenta) of the bustling center of our Milky Way galaxy. The smaller circle shows the center of our galaxy where the NuStar image was taken . The finding, published in Nature, was made by scientists at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, US using Nasa's NuStar telescope. 'We can see a completely new component of the centre of our galaxy with Nustar's images,' said Kerstin Perez of Columbia University in New York. 'We can't definitively explain the X-ray signal yet - it's a mystery. More work needs to be done.' When a star runs out of fuel it usually collapses in on itself. Stars more than eight times the mass of our sun will explode in a supernova, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole. Smaller stars, though, will shed their outer layers and leave behind a hot dense core \u2013 known as a white dwarf. A white dwarf contains a similar amount of mass to its previous star but will be much smaller \u2013 about the size of Earth \u2013 making gravity at its surface much more intense. They are thought to be able to burn for tens or hundreds of billions of years - at which point they become black dwarfs \u2013 but as the universe is not this old, no black dwarfs exist in the universe yet. When they peered at the Galactic Centre, they found an emission of X-rays that corresponded to thousands of dead stars being present. The emission could also be due to millisecond pulsars - rapidly rotating neutron stars - or dense magnetic fields. 'However, all these interpretations pose significant challenges to our understanding of stellar evolution, binary formation and cosmic-ray production in the Galactic Centre,' the researchers wrote in their paper. The emissions were found to be coming from a region of the Galactic Centre 13 by 26 light-years in size around the central supermassive black hole, called Sagittarius A*. On theory is that when stars die, they don't always go quietly into the night. Unlike stars like our sun, collapsed dead stars that belong to stellar pairs, or binaries, can siphon matter from their companions. This zombie-like 'feeding' process differs depending on the nature of the normal star, but the result may be an eruption of X-rays. But it is the potential for these to be white dwarf stars that is the most intriguing theory.

The British musician long known for his experimentalism has written new songs and arranged older music for the production late this year at the New York Theatre Workshop. Based on the novel by Walter Tevis, the 1976 film starred Bowie as a humanoid who lands on Earth in search of water for his parched planet and becomes enamored with alcohol and television. Flashback: David Bowie is returning to The Man Who Fell To Earth by penning a new stage version and original songs for a production on New York's Broadway later this year. The 1976 cult film marked his debut in movies . Cult classic: Bowie played an alien who was in search of water on Earth but fell in love with television .

'It's going to be a play with characters and songs - I'm calling it music theater, but I don't really know what it's going to be like, I just have incredible trust in their creative vision,' James Nicola, artistic director of New York Theater Workshop, told the New York Times. 'I'm really excited about it. These are three very different sensibilities to be colliding.' The Man Who Fell to Earth was the first movie for Bowie but he did not write the music amid contractual disputes, instead leaving the task to singer-songwriter John Phillips from The Mamas And The Papas.

Bowie studied acting and is known for his portrayal on Broadway in 1980-81 of severely deformed Englishman Joseph Merrick in The Elephant Man.

The navy said it noticed an underwater target yesterday and again this morning and fired some warning charges the size of grenades. Finland, which shares an 833-mile border with Russia, has been increasingly worried about its powerful neighbour after a year of Russian air force sorties and military border exercises. A Finnish coastguard ship tracks the underwater object - believed to have been a Russian submarine - in the waters near the capital Helsinki . Border patrol boats first identified an underwater target yesterday, before detecting it again early this morning and dropping 'warning' depth charges . Finland defence minister Carl Haglund did not say whether Russia was involved but told local media that it was extremely rare for the military to use such warning charges. Pictured is a Finnish navy boat . The Finland incident comes just months after Sweden's armed forces hunted unsuccessfully for what they believed to have been a foreign submarine close to Stockholm . It comes just months after Sweden suspected Russia of sending a vessel into waters close to the capital Stockholm. In what was Sweden's biggest mobilisation since the Cold War, its navy hunted unsuccessfully for a week for what they believed to be a foreign submarine after several observations were made. Swedish officials never blamed any country, though most defense analysts said Russia was a likely culprit. Today Finland defence minister Carl Haglund did not say whether Russia was involved but told local media that the target could have been a submarine, and that it has likely left the area, adding that Finland has rarely used such warning charges. He said: 'We strongly suspect that there has been underwater activity that does not belong there. Finland first alerted its navy to a 'possible underwater target' about midday yesterday . 'Of course it is always serious if our territorial waters have been violated,' he told Finnish news agency STT. Moscow retorted immediately, saying moves by Finland and Sweden towards closer ties with NATO were of 'special concern'. In a statement, the Finland Ministry of Defence said its surveillance system first alerted its navy to a 'possible underwater target' within territorial waters about midday yesterday. A second detection was then made early this morning after the navy began searching for the object, and underwater depth charges were fired at 3am. Commodore Olavi Jantunen told Helsingin Sanomat newspaper: 'The bombs are not intended to damage the target, the purpose is to let the target know that it has been noticed.' Reports of a submarine spotted off Stockholm last year led to Sweden's biggest mobilization since the Cold War. Regional tensions were reflected earlier in April after an unprecedented hawkish joint statement by Nordic countries - Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland - that directly cited the Russian 'challenge' as grounds to increase defense cooperation.", "summary": "The Finnish military has dropped depth charges on a possible submarine .

In court: Robbie Knievel, pictured in court on Wednesday, was arrested for DUI in Montana after crashing into another car on Tuesday evening and setting off a chain-reaction crash involving two other cars . Officers noticed that he had a bloody lip and smelled of alcohol, but he refused to perform a breath test and so officers got a search warrant to take a blood sample, the Montana Standard reported. Knievel was booked into jail. On Wednesday, he made his initial appearance in Justice Court. He has been in the area, where he has family, for a couple of weeks, authorities said. Skuletich says Knievel invoked his rights to an attorney but didn't give officers a name.

Sabrina Rubin Erdely has been silent since December, when the magazine was forced to issue an apology in the wake of several factual errors highlighted in the piece about a University of Virginia student named Jackie. In the story, titled 'A Rape on Campus', Jackie claims to have been gang raped by seven men at campus fraternity Phi Kappa Psi two years ago.

Tuition, sporting and curricula fees for Scot's College, one of Sydney's most prestigious schools, reportedly top $30,000 . The University of Sydney have been running a 17-week diploma for Year 11 students at Scot's College to skip their year 12 exams and 'buy' their entry into the sandstone university. 'Access to university should be fair and equitable,' Mr Piccoli told Fairfax Media. 'Any scheme that gives some students an unfair advantage is unacceptable and I will be discussing this with the federal government, which is responsible for universities.' Eight Scot's students gained 'direct entry' to the university after completing the program in 2014, according to a letter sent to parents by principal Dr Ian Lambert, while 166 students completed the HSC. The program was devised by the university's commercial arm, Sydney Learning, and students who completed the course successfully were guaranteed places in a number of undergraduate level courses, including bachelor degrees in health sciences, liberal arts and science, animal and veterinary bioscience, visual arts, music and oral health, or in a diploma of law. Opposition leader Luke Foley is concerned over how this alternative would impact the HSC. 'We have a federal Coalition government intent on linking university admission to wealth, more and more, and these are the sorts of arrangements that flow from the Abbott government's reform of our higher education sector,' he said. The Sydney Morning Herald have reported that concern within the University of Sydney staff has led to its academic board shutting down this alternative pathway for school students.

Rose Steele, the president of the National Union of Students, told Daily Mail Australia that while it was important there were alternative pathways available for students to gain entry to university, it was 'really concerning' if this program was only open to students who could afford it.

The unnamed trader used perfect timing to capitalize on one of the biggest deals of the year when Wall Street Journal mergers and acquisitions reporter Dana Mattioli took to Twitter to announce that Intel was in talks to buy one of its competitors, chipmaker Altera. Seconds later, the trader had snapped up 3,158 contracts of Altera, with each option contract giving them the right to purchase 100 shares. Scroll down for video . An unnamed Wall Street trader made a profit of approximately $2.5million on Friday thanks to a tweet from the Wall Street Journal . The trader purchased 315,800 shares of chipmaker Altera one minute after the Journal reported Intel was in talks to purchase them . CNBC reports that the trader paid $36 a share, and the call option was a mere 35 cents as options on the stock, at that point valued at $34.76 a share, were set to expire in just a few weeks. 3:32pm: The Wall Street Journal reports that Intel is in talks to buy Altera. 3:33pm: Trader purchases 315,800 shares of Altera at $36 a share for a total cost of $11,368,000 plus $110,530 for a $0.35 call option. 3:35pm: Nasdaq suspends trading of Altera in the wake of the Journal's tweet. 4:00pm: Trader sells Altera at the new share price of $44.39 for a total of $14,018,362. This, after factoring in the intital share price and call option, leaves them with a profit of approximately $2,539.832. This call option allowed the trader the right to purchase more shares in the company, in this case 315,800 shares, at the cost of $36, even though the value of shares quickly began to rise. Just 28 minutes later, when the market closed for the day, Altera was valued at $44.39 per share. That was an increase of 28%, but because of the call option, the trader was able to sell their stocks at a far greater profit. So instead of making a 28% profit, the trader made a 2,220% profit of roughly $2.5million when they sold their shares. Even more impressive is that the trader managed to make the purchase just minutes before Nasdaq suspended trading of Altera because of the tweet from Mattioli. What's more, call options for Altera had at that point reached a price of $8.10 by the end of the day. There is also a chance, reports Matt Khouw, that the trader could have been aware of Intel's plan to buy Altera early, or that they used a bot to quickly buy the shares. 'A bot is not as outlandish as it sounds,' Khouw said. 'Traders need to aggregate and filter through tremendous amounts of data quickly and will rely on technology to help if it is available.' As for Intel's reported purchase of Altera, that still has yet to happen.

The former Ivory Coast international said the team was probably more disappointed at not being able to deliver a trophy for fans, who this season had seen their side fail to progress out of the Champions League group stage and lose to Chelsea in the last four of the Capital One Cup. A 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at Wembley ended the club's last hope of silverware and meant Gerrard would not be given a perfect send off ahead of his summer move to Los Angeles Galaxy with a cup final appearance on his 35th birthday on what would have been his very last for his boyhood club. Kolo Toure (left) admitted Steven Gerrard was 'sad' after the loss but he also felt sorry for Liverpool's fans . 'You feel bad. It is always difficult when you lose a semi-final like that,' Toure told Press Association Sport. 'The defeat is the thing. Of course we wanted to do very well for the last game of Stevie for the club but at the end of the day, we wanted to do it for the fans because this club deserves to have a trophy. 'He (Gerrard) is fine. Of course he is sad, like all the dressing room, but he has been in this game for a long time and he knows how to deal with these situations.' Gerrard was able to start the match after an injury to Lucas Leiva in training, which denied Liverpool some much-needed control in midfield. The former England captain looks dejected after the final whistle and his hopes of a final trophy ended . However, Toure insisted they should have had the ability to cope without their only genuine defensive midfielder. 'Lucas is a great player but we had players who could do the job,' he added. 'Collectively we were not very good. Villa really fought and gave everything to win the game.' As a result, Brendan Rodgers became the first Liverpool manager since the 1950s not to win a trophy in his first three years. Gerrard didn't get his fairytale ending at Wembley as he leaves the club at the end of the season for LA Galaxy . With the club's Champions League qualification hopes looking increasingly distant after Manchester City's win over West Ham on Sunday increased the gap to fourth place to seven points - although Liverpool now have a match in hand - the Reds boss will find his record coming under more scrutiny over the final six games of the season. The Northern Irishman insists he and his players will not give up while there is still a mathematical possibility. 'There's an obligation here to fight to the very end,' he said.

But that irritating nocturnal drone might actually be an early warning sign of dementia, scientists have warned. Researchers have discovered that people who have breathing problems while asleep are more likely to experience an early decline in memory and other brain functions. In a worrying study, they found that people with sleep apnoea - a condition often typified by heavy snoring - saw a mental decline more than a decade earlier, on average, than those who had no sleep problems. People who have breathing problems while asleep are more likely to experience an early decline in memory and other brain functions . The US researchers\u2019 results also suggested that the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s might be accelerated among those with sleeping problems. At least half a million Britons suffer from sleep apnoea, which is most often found in middle-aged, overweight men. The condition causes the muscles in the airway to contract during sleep, which cuts off the air supply, usually resulting in a heavy snore. It causes disrupted sleep and daytime exhaustion, pushing up blood pressure. Study author Dr Ricardo Osorio, of New York University, said: \u2018Abnormal breathing patterns during sleep such as heavy snoring and sleep apnoea are common in the elderly.\u2019 The research team studied the medical histories of 2,470 people, aged 55 to 90. Their investigation, published in the journal Neurology, found that people with sleep breathing problems were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment at an average age of 77. Those with no breathing problems, in comparison, did not typically see a decline until age 90 - more than a decade later. Among that group, those who had sleep breathing problems also developed Alzheimer\u2019s disease five years earlier than those who did not have sleep breathing problems, at an average age of 83 compared to 88. The onset of Alzheimer\u2019s might be accelerated among those with sleeping problem, experts said (file photo) The scientists also found that treating the problem with a night time air mask - known as continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP - saw significant results. People treated with the machine, which pumps a steady stream of air through the mask, were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment about ten years later than people whose problems were not treated, at age 82 instead of age 72. Dr Osorio said: \u2018The age of onset of mild cognitive impairment for people whose breathing problems were treated was almost identical to that of people who did not have any breathing problems at all. \u2018Given that so many older adults have sleep breathing problems, these results are exciting - we need to examine whether using CPAP could possibly help prevent or delay memory and thinking problems.\u2019 For years we have been told that the first step to staying healthy is to keep to a healthy weight - that means making sure your Body Mass Index (BMI) is within the normal range of 18 to 24.

Hardaker was at the centre of a police assault probe into an attack on a 22-year-old man at student flats in Leeds, but was not charged with any offence. Leeds issued a lengthy statement outlining Hardaker's punishment, which will also see him forfeit one month's salary to be donated to a local charity and do up to 20 hours a week of voluntary work for the club's foundation for the duration of his contract.

The statement from Leeds read: 'The club has accepted his apology for his actions, however, given his previous misconduct, Zak has realised that it is his actions rather than his words that must now show his intentions to put these events behind him.' It went on: 'We have passed the point of telling him what he has to do, however, for the first time Zak has admitted to us and, more importantly to himself, that he has an issue with aspects of his lifestyle which he wants to improve. 'We have listened to what he has committed to do for himself and we will support him.' Minchella received a written warning and a fine of 50 per cent of his monthly salary, while team-mates Rob Mulhern, Josh Walters and Ash Handley were fined and issued verbal warnings.

+{"article": "Security researchers have discovered a way to intercept a person's fingerprints on a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android 4.4 and older . Fingerprint scanners are often touted as the future of security and an alternative to the notoriously flawed password. But experts have discovered they may not be as secure as first thought after a number of Android devices, including Samsung's Galaxy S5, were said to be potentially 'leaking' fingerprints. The security researchers have found a way to intercept a person's biometric data after it is captured by a built-in scanner, but before it becomes encrypted. Tao Wei and Yulong Zhang from security firm FireEye are expected to discuss their findings at this week's RSA conference in San Francisco. The pair told Thomas Fox-Brewster from Forbes that the flaw lies in older versions of the Android operating system, up to and including Android 4.4. Subsequently, anyone running Android 5.0 or above are not at risk and the security experts are advising people on older models to update as soon as possible. The vulnerability means that a hacker can access the kernel, or core, of the Android operating system. Once inside they can monitor all data sent to and from the phone, as well as data recorded by the handset's built-in sensors, including the fingerprint scanner. Typically, when a fingerprint is scanned it is encrypted and separated from the rest of the device in a secure folder. Hackers can't get access to this folder even with access to the kernel, but they can collect scans immediately from the fingerprint sensor before they reach this folder. In addition to using these fingerprints to access the phone, for example, they can be used to make payments with PayPal. Scroll down for video . The flaw means that once a hacker has access they can monitor data recorded by built-in sensors, including the fingerprint scanner. When a fingerprint is scanned it is encrypted. Hackers typically can't access this encrypted file, but the flaw allows them to collect scans from the sensor before being encrypted . During tests, Mr Wei and Mr Zhang confirmed the flaw was present on Samsung Galaxy S5. They have not yet tested it on other Android smartphones with built-in fingerprint scanners, including the Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge and Huawei Ascend Mate 7. However, they believe the problem to be 'more widespread' than the Galaxy S5 and are planning to put this to the test. FireEye's research isn't the first time the Samsung Galaxy S5's scanner has been exposed as vulnerable. In April last year a group of German hackers managed to spoof the scanner using a dummy print. Apple's TouchID isn't without flaws either. It took hackers just two days and a small collection of everyday household items to bypass the fingerprint sensor on an Apple iPhone 5S following its launch in 2013.

Social Services Minister Scott Morrison confirms that the government is actively researching possible legislation changes, as conscientious objectors are currently able to use a loophole to access family tax benefits. The hard-line approach to immunisation comes one month after the tragic death of 32-day -old Perth baby Riley Hughes who died after contracting whooping cough.

Riley Hughes died at just 32 days old after suffering complications arising from whooping cough . Two days before Riley died his mother posted a photo of him wrapped in a blanket in hospital . Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children must give up their childcare payments from the government unless care is quarantined to the home, according to the Productivity Commission's report into childcare . The national immunisation program current outlines that parents must vaccinate their children to be eligible for family payments and childcare rebates. However, people who choose not to vaccinate their children for philosophical, personal or religious beliefs are able to apply for an exemption \u2013 meaning they can still access the payments without immunising their children. They can seek exemptions if a doctor signs a form showing they understand the risks to their child if they don't get vaccinated. A form must also be filled out, declaring the individual does not vaccinate their baby due to \u201cpersonal, philosophical, religious or medical beliefs involving a conviction that vaccination should not take place\u201d, they are still able to access the benefits. Mr Morrison believes there is essentially no excuse to excuse a parent when they decide not to vaccinate their child, especially as the decision could be potentially fatal for other children. While parents are required to vaccinate their children to receive benefits, they can seek exemptions if a doctor signs a form showing they understand the risks to their child if they don't get vaccinated . \u201cWe believe that, unless you\u2019re someone with a really deep held religious view there should be no exceptions and you should be getting your children immunised,\u201d the Opposition leader told Nine\u2019s Weekend Today. \u201cThe idea that your child\u2019s going to a childcare centre and that some other parent doesn\u2019t feel they like the science of immunisation, and therefore they come along and your child or anyone else\u2019s child could catch something because some other parent has an opinion, that isn\u2019t really good enough is it,\u201d he said.

In Norway in particular, which pays the highest benefits in Europe, almost 80 per cent of people wanted a job, . By contrast in Estonia, one of the least generous countries, only around 40 per cent did. The survey was carried out by sociologists Dr Kjetil van der Wel and Dr Knut Halvorsen from Oslo and Akershus University College. They examined responses to the statement: 'I would enjoy having a paid job even if I did not need the money' put to the interviewees for the European Social Survey in 2010. People who are hungry are more inclined to support of the welfare state policies that help the poor. The extraordinary results of a recent study from Aarhus University found that the state of our bodies has a significant influence on our position on specific political issues. Researchers said people's support for apparently altruistic policies of wealth redistribution is not so much a reflection of concern for the poor but 'rather a strategy for securing further resources for themselves.' And they their findings could revolutionise perceptions of how people come to adopt a political stance, with our ideological views apparently swayed by basic biology. These responses were then compared with the amount the countries spent on welfare benefits and employment schemes, while taking into account the population differences between the member states. The UK was average for the generosity of benefits, which was reflected in the percentage of people agreeing with the statement at almost 60 per cent. The researchers also found that governments that intervene to help the unemployed find work made people in general more likely to agree that they wanted work even if they didn't need the money.

Photo stylist Nathalie Croquet, from Paris, has recreated a series of glossy commercials for her project SPOOF. The exhibition includes parodies of ads from Givenchy, Lancome, Lanvin and Acne. In the images Nathalie has recreated the adverts completely, from the clothes the model wears, to the poses, make-up, hair colour and surroundings. Scroll down for video . Lancome: Nathalie Croquet a photo-stylist from Paris created a photo series called SPOOF in which she recreated the ads of famous designers and brands . Natalie said: 'SPOOF is an artistic project of 11 photos, we did an exhibition in February in Paris with my pictures in a big size. 'I had the idea in October and we worked on it for two months.

Daniel Schweizer the photographer who shot the images said: 'Most of the time we look at advertising images without analysis, without fully perceiving the extent that they have been worked on. 'Changed clothes and accessories, digital retouching, skin cleansed, faked decor, body stretched; it is only when we take a closer look at these images that we get the full measure.

Now it's time to name names. Teams will have bad days, of course. It's no surprise to those of us who can see his quality and importance to United, but without Michael Carrick they look far more beatable. I can't see how Everton score that first goal if Carrick is on the pitch. Louis van Gaal needs some big signings in the summer to turn Manchester United into title contenders . Borussia Dortmund's midfield pair of Ilkay Gundogan (left) and Sven Bender (right) fit the bill . Daley Blind is a poverty-stricken pauper's version of Carrick in that position. The Dutchman is a slower version of the Geordie, which is quite an achievement, and so more reinforcements are needed. That's why it would be a good idea for United to raid Borussia Dortmund. Ilkay Gundogan has already been linked with a move to Old Trafford \u2013 it's a no-brainer. This player is physical yet graceful. He can spot a pass and execute it first time. He's dynamic and never hides. Alongside him in that Dortmund midfield is Sven Bender - the German Carrick.

David de Gea, Blind and Ashley Young react after conceding a goal in a big defeat by Everton on Sunday . But when Bender tackles, the opponent knows about it \u2013 he is a beast. Despite his frame (he's 6ft 1in, slightly shorter than Carrick), he is quick to step into a tackle. Opponents think they have a bit of time on the ball but Bender makes up the ground in a flash to rob them. What I'm saying here is that United may need two players to replace Carrick. And those two fit the bill. Both are winners, both have had years in Dortmund playing some magnificent football. And if Louis van Gaal is raiding Dortmund he might as well sign Armenia's finest Henrikh Mkhitaryan. What a playmaker this guy is \u2013 he floats around picking the ball up wherever he can, gets the team into advanced positions and can spot a pass. He can score goals too. Manchester United look far more vulnerable without Michael Carrick in their midfield . Armenian creative threat Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been linked with a move to the Premier League before . Gundogan, like Bender, could be leaving Dortmund this summer along with departing manager Jurgen Klopp . I think he's a more positive version of Juan Mata \u2013 look how often the Spaniard gave the ball away at Goodison on Sunday.

Dead line: The IRS' overloaded phone system hung up on more than 8 million taxpayers this filing season as the agency cut millions of dollars from taxpayer services . A new staff report by Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee says the IRS diverted millions from taxpayer services and other areas to pay for President Barack Obama's health law. At a hearing Wednesday, Koskinen blamed budget cuts approved by Congress. The agency's budget has been cut by $1.2 billion since 2010. 'Customer service, both on the phone and in person has been much far worse than anyone would want,' Koskinen told a Ways and Means subcommittee. Speaking out: Many of those people had to wait on hold for more than 30 minutes, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Wednesday (pictured above) 'It's simply a matter of not having enough people to answer the phones and provide service at our walk-in sites as a result of cuts to our budget.' Koskinen said the agency is required by law to implement the health law, leaving him with few other places to cut. He said the agency requested a total of $600 million over the past two years for computer upgrades to implement the health law as well as a new law requiring foreign banks to report information about U.S. account holders. 'In both years the Congress gave us zero dollars so we had no choice but to look elsewhere,' Koskinen said.", "summary": "For those who weren't disconnected, only 40percent actually got through .

The Gers currently lead the way in the race for second spot in the Championship, with a one-point advantage over Hibernian and a six-point cushion separating them from Queen of the South. Finishing immediately behind newly-crowned champions Hearts would spare the Ibrox men the bother of two extra hazardous games in the play-offs, with the teams finishing third and fourth facing off over two legs before taking on the second tier's runners-up. The winner of that tie then meets the Premiership's second-bottom side in a crucial winner-takes-all battle. Stuart McCall is relaxed about the prospect of Rangers finishing third in the Scottish Championship . But having stumbled to a 3-0 defeat against Queens and a 1-1 draw with basement side Livingston either side of Sunday's four-goal romp over Raith, there is no guarantee the Light Blues will see off Saturday's trip to Dumbarton without another slip-up.

Obviously we want to get second but Hibs and Queens want the same. 'You don't want to have to play the extra games but if you have to, you will.

The charge of child neglect was pursued by authorities over homicide as the Medical Examiner's Office could not determine the cause of death. Police were called to Bell's home on January 8 after she reported the death of the infant. Brittany Cherokee Dawn Bell of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, was charged with child neglect after the death of her three-month-old daughter, whose body was found with roach bites on her legs and head . While Bell slept on the couch, baby Alice somehow suffocated on the floor nearby. It is unclear how this happened and for how long she lay there . Her initial story was that she had put the baby, Alice, in a crib and then found her dead later on. She then changed her story and admitted to laying the baby on the floor. Bell said that the baby might have been smothered by her 18-month-old twins out of jealousy after she had fallen asleep while watching a movie with them. She said she was afraid one of them had killed Alice by sitting on her, which was why she initially said the child was in the crib. An autopsy listed the cause of death as sudden unexplained infant death with the manner of death undetermined. The medical examiner found abrasions on Alice's legs and head caused by roaches that infested the apartment. In an affidavit, investigator Jim Warring said: 'I can conclude that she laid the baby on the floor and fell asleep without waking during which time Alice may have been suffocated by one or both of her twins or became distressed due to the surface of the floor and suffocated.' 'Also enough time passed that roaches were able to start feeding on both the baby's legs and head,' he added. 'All of this took place less than 10 feet from the couch where Bell was reportedly sleeping.' Bell's initial story was that she had put baby Alice in a crib and found her dead later on. She then changed her story, telling authorities that she was worried one of her twins had smothered the baby .

Evidence of the harm done to intelligence agencies across the world after the former CIA contractor leaked 1.7million classified documents in 2013 is compiled in the first comprehensive public analysis of the leaks by the Henry Jackson Society security think-tank. The Snowden files revealed details about covert attempts by agencies to view citizens' private information by gathering internet histories, emails, text and call records and passwords. Now the Henry Jackson Society has found that at least three Al Qaeda affiliates are known to have altered their communications. The think-tank has also found other groups using human couriers instead of email and mobile phones.

A national driving survey analysed the travel habits of 3700 Australian families which revealed four in five families use technology to deal with bored children, giving them a hand held computer game, like an iPad, while another 70 per cent said they give their kids treats to sweeten the ride. Almost 20 per cent of NSW families use a more extreme technique, admitting they have used sedatives like the antihistamine Phenergan to knock their kids out so their journey will be more pleasant. One in five NSW families have admitted to sedating their children before taking them on long car trips . The over the counter drug Phenergan is commonly used to treat allergies however it contains a sedative called promethazine which is widely known to cause breathing problems in young children. The medical community claim the sedative Phenergan should not be used on children younger than two years old as side effects like respiratory depression, more commonly known as hypoventilation, can be fatal. Warnings about the use of drugs like Phenergan on children have been around since 2006 when the US Food and Drug Administration found the medication was linked to 22 cases of respiratory depression in infants, seven of which were fatal. Westmead Children's Hospital head of general medicine Joanne Ging told Fairfax that Phenergan is far too unpredictable to use as a sedative on children. The medical community claim the sedative Phenergan should not be used on children younger than two years old as side effects like respiratory depression can be fatal. 'We would never recommend it for children on plane trips, car trips or wherever, because its side effects can trigger the exact opposite effect, including hallucinations. It's a medication that really should only ever be used for allergies.' Family therapist and child psychologist Michael Hawton condemned the trend labelling it 'extraordinary' and 'horrible'. 'The whole idea of heading off on a family holiday is to enjoy time together. There's a big difference between entertaining your children and medically straitjacketing them,' he said.

It is a melting pot of decadence in the Middle East with year-round sunshine, some of the best hotels on the planet, and shopping opportunities to seriously damage the credit card. Despite the restrictions of local religious laws, the champagne-fuelled party life has come to somewhat define Dubai as a holiday destination. Dubai: It's still 'bling' but the natural habitat of the mega-wealthy has a developing cultural underside . Because of this, I have always regarded this UAE state as the natural habitat for the types of mega-wealthy who like to splash their cash; Premier League footballers, nightclub owners, rappers and reality TV stars - the Rooneys and the cast of The Only Way Is Essex will continue to flock to Dubai. So I was surprised to discover that Dubai has a rapidly developing cultural underside. In recent times, the place has attracted more unlikely visitors - A-listers including Emily Blunt, Cate Blanchett, Lily Allen, Karl Lagerfeld and Sarah Jessica Parker. Blunt was guest of honour at the recent Dubai International Film Festival, following in the footsteps of the Oscar-winning Ms Blanchett, who attended in 2013. Lily Allen was in town in November with The Verve's Richard Ashcroft to perform at Dubai's first-ever Party In The Park at the Media City Amphitheatre. And although Lily was ordered to censor her lyrics - 'They told me to cover up and not swear!' she announced on stage - punters said the relaxed atmosphere, cool crowd and outdoor, grassy setting made the festival feel like Dubai's answer to Glastonbury. Lily Allen performed at Dubai's first Party in the Park . There is now the annual Dubai International Jazz Festival. This year, Sting and James Blunt performed in February. And work is also under way to build Dubai's first opera house in The Lagoons area. The 2,500-seat venue is anticipated to be complete in 2017. Karl Lagerfeld showed his Chanel Cruise collection in Dubai, while Sarah Jessica Parker decamped from Manhattan to launch her shoe collection in The Mall of the Emirates in December. And with Western shopping meccas Bloomingdales and Harvey Nichols now established, and US emporium Macy's on the cards to open in the next few years, the retail scene also caters for more sophisticated customers. According to Cressida Meale, deputy editor of fashion magazine Grazia Middle East, there is even an underground fashion scene emerging in the city's industrial area, Al Quoz. 'It has pop-up fashion shops and cool Dubai designers,' says Meale. 'There really is another shopping side to Dubai, away from the malls.' There are also several trendy art galleries in this area. So why the sudden cultural shift? Two things seem to have happened in recent times. Firstly the party scene has relocated an hour down the road to Abu Dhabi, thanks in part to the launch of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and Ferrari World (the world's first theme park devoted to the Italian motors).

The news comes as cigar use rises in the US, where the study was carried out, and cigarette smoking declines. Alarmingly, more young people appear to be taking up cigars thanks to new ranges of flavoured ones. Researchers have warned that cigars may be more harmful to smokers than cigarettes. They found the risk for cigar smokers of dying from oral, oesophageal or lung cancer was at least as bad as for cigarettes . Cigar consumption more than doubled from 6.2billion in 2000 to more than 13.7billion in 2011 \u2013 in contrast with a 33 per cent fall for cigarettes. Researchers analysed 22 studies, including five from Britain, and found the risks for cigar smokers of dying from oral, oesophageal or lung cancer was at least as bad as for cigarettes. They also found that those who smoked cigars and had previously smoked cigarettes had a much higher risk of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease compared to cigar smokers who had not previously smoked cigarettes. The team said they believed this could be due in part to the inhalation patterns of these different types of cigar smokers. Cindy Chang, of the US Food and Drug Administration, which did the study, said: \u2018Some risks associated with cigar smoking can be as high or higher than with cigarette smoking. \"Cigar smoking is linked to fatal oral, oesophageal, pancreatic, laryngeal, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease and aortic aneurysm.\" Cigar use is on the rise in the US, where the study was carried out, while cigarette smoking declines.

Lisa Parkisson, 35, (left with son Zac) died 48 hours after giving birth at Oldham Royal in June last year. Thomas Beaty (right) died from at the same hospital after doctors forced him back into the womb . A summary of the investigation, which was kept secret from the families of the dead until now, has been seen by MailOnline and found 'notable absence of clinical leadership' in the maternity wards, and a 'failure to adequately plan care' in a number of cases. A team of independent investigators also found risk management was 'below standard' in some cases - though there were no apparent 'deficiencies in care' in the deaths of the three mothers. The report noted that several of the mothers were obese or morbidly obese, which can lead to complications, but that national guidelines for treating overweight people were not followed. Officials also criticised the hospital's own investigations, saying the root cause of the deaths was not always identified, opportunities to learn lessons were not always picked up, and that some recommendations were too general and difficult to measure. All of the deaths are believed to have occurred between December 2013, and July last year. In one case mother Lisa Parkisson, 35, also died 48 hours after giving birth to her son Zac in June this year. In another case newborn Thomas Beaty died from head injuries in April after medics forced him back into the womb during birth. Doctors had also tried and failed to remove him from the womb five times using forceps, despite national guidelines only recommending three attempts.

Moore has been on the run from the law for more than four decades, until Monday afternoon when he called the Franklin County Sheriff's Office in Kentucky and admitted to being a fugitive. Sheriff Pat Melton says Moore, 66, was at the former Polk Youth Institute in Butner, North Carolina, serving a sentence of more than 10 years for larceny when he broke free June 10, 1972. Scroll down for video . Captured: Clarence David Moore, 66, is seen being wheeled from his home in Frankfort, Kentucky, Monday, after he admitted to being a fugitive who escaped from a North Carolina prison in 1972 .

At 4pm Monday, nearly 43 years after Moore\u2019s escape, he finally emerged from the shadows. \u2018I need to make this right and get through this,\u2019 Moore was quoted as telling Sheriff Melton. After sheriff's deputies verified Moore's story, he was taken into custody. The 66-year-old, who suffers from several unspecified ailments and apparently cannot walk on his own, was captured by the station WTVQ being wheeled out of his Frankfort home on a gurney and taken to a hospital before being sent to jail. He explained to investigators he has not been able to get medical treatment because he does not have a Social Security card or any other form of identification. According to the sheriff's office, the man\u2019s unexpected decision to give himself up after all these years was motivated by his desire to see a doctor.

+{"article": "Bruce Jenner has confirmed he started a gender transition process in the mid-1980s but stopped after he met and fell in love with Kris Kardashian, who became his third wife. The 65-year-old told Diane Sawyer he embarked on hormone therapy and electrolysis, and had plastic surgery to make his features look more feminine, shortly after winning the Olympic gold. However, he says, he stopped out of 'fear' of publicity and shame, and kept his secret to himself until he couldn't bear it any longer. Scroll down for video . Early signs? Bruce Jenner has revealed he started having hormone therapy and plastic surgery in the mid to late 1980s to make himself look more feminine. He's shown here in September 1987 . Before the changes: Bruce, seen here on set, still had his athletic physique and heavy set masculine features when he appeared in the 1980 film Can't Stop The Music. These were noticeably gone by the end of the decade . Bruce said he was exploring the idea of gender reassignment surgery with doctors in Denmark but had a change of heart after meeting Kris, the ex-wife of famed LA attorney Robert Kardashian. On Friday night, he publicly addressed about his personal journey and his transition to living as a woman in a two-hour ABC special tonight with Diane Sawyer. As the romance between Bruce and Kris blossomed in late 1990 and early 1991, the former star athlete halted hormone therapy and underwent breast reduction surgery. The couple married months after meeting on April 21, 1991, and went on to have two children together - Kendall, now 19, and Kylie, 17, - before divorcing in December last year. Change of heart: Bruce halted his gender transition after meeting Kris Kardashian in late 1990. He stopped hormone injections and even underwent breast reduction surgery before the couple married. He's seen here with Kris in February 1993 . Family man: Bruce and Kris tied the knot in April 1991 just months after meeting. Seen here in 2000 with their daughters Kendall and Kylie, the couple were married for 22 years. Bruce found fame again with a whole new generation thanks to the reality series about their blended family Keeping Up With The Kardashians . A source quoted by Entertainment Tonight says that Bruce was greatly influenced by the life story of transgender tennis player Renee Richards. Richards, born a boy Richard Raskind in 1934, underwent gender reassignment surgery in 1975. In 1976, she launched a legal challenge after the US Tennis Association denied her permission to compete as a woman in the U.S. Open because she had not been born a woman and in 1977 the New York Supreme Court ruled in her favor in a landmark decision for transsexual rights. It's believed that her autobiography Second Serve, published in 1983, had a significant influence on Bruce. In 1986, the book was made into a TV movie starring Vanessa Redgrave who received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance.

Many Christian schools give priority to families who regularly attend services, a practice which they say preserves their faith ethos - but a group of vicars say it can lead to discrimination against the poor . But the clergymen said affluent parents were more likely to cheat the system by going to church just to get their children into a C of E school, which are often high-performing. In an open letter published yesterday, an alliance of Left-leaning clergy and laypeople called for an end to religious selection. They claimed the Church was being \u2018turned to the advantage of those who are already advantaged\u2019, and said it presented a \u2018slow-burning crisis\u2019.

The letter said: \u2018On a superficial level this is in the Church\u2019s interest, as attendance figures in many parishes are inflated and the standard of our schools boosted by the admittance of children from more affluent families. \u2018Ultimately however the universality of the Church is being turned to the advantage of those who are already advantaged.

A serving prisoner has been jailed for making a teenager's life a misery by bombarding her with thousands of texts after he received her number from a cellmate. Carlos Boente, 33, was serving time at HMP Birmingham for similar harassment type offences when he began contacting the 19-year-old woman in November 2013. After getting her number from a cellmate, the prisoner originally asked her to change his Facebook password as a favour. He then bombarded the teen with thousands of texts and calls - telling her sob stories about his life saying he had no family and nobody visited him in prison. The victim continued to talk to Boente, who she felt sorry for, but he suddenly started asking where she was and leaving threatening messages if she didn't reply. She eventually contacted police when he told her he had friends on the outside watching her and even sent her a picture of her front door. In January last year Boente made numerous abusive calls to the woman - telling her she was going to die and making threats against her young child. Incredibly, he even sent three men to the home of the woman's aunt and uncle, before boasting on Facebook the gang were his 'soldiers'. Boente, from Birmingham, was charged with two counts of threats to kill, one count of harassment, one count of conspiracy to burgle and three counts of possessing a mobile phone while in prison in June last year. He denied all of the charges, except for two counts of possessing a mobile phone, but was found guilty of conspiracy to burgle, harassment and the remaining phone possession charge on April 1. Although he was cleared of the threats to kill charges he was last week jailed for five years at Birmingham Crown Court. Speaking after the hearing, Detective Constable Vanessa Lewis, from West Midlands Police, said: 'Even when the victim was giving a statement to us about Boente's behaviour, we witnessed him constantly calling her, shouting down the phone and being abusive.

Senator Harry Reid's 73-year-old brother has been arrested and charged with driving drunk and hitting a police officer. Larry Reid was arrested for DUI about 12:40 p.m. between Boulder City and Searchlight in Nevada. Mr. Reid was also charged with battery of a police officer, driving across a median, resisting arrest, not wearing a seat belt and possession of a gun while under the influence of alcohol.

The Nevada Senator's office released a statement confirming that Larry Reid is the Democrat's brother, saying only that it is 'a private matter.'

Unable to sleep because of the racket, the photography student asked unemployed Mark Ray, 56, to turn it down - but was met with a barrage of abuse that culminated, a year later, in violent threats and stalking. Terrified: Emma Jackson, 28, was subjected to vile verbal abuse and was stalked by her neighbour . Now Ms Jackson has been forced to move home because of Mr Ray but says she lives in terror of him discovering her new address. Ms Jackson's ordeal began less than a week after moving into her ground floor flat, which she did despite having been warned that the previous occupants also had trouble with Mr Ray.

+{"article": "William Shakespeare may indeed have been the original author of the play Double Falsehood after all . A play discovered nearly 300 years ago and said to be a Shakespeare forgery was really written by the Bard himself, new research has revealed. The work titled Double Falsehood was presented by theatre impresario Lewis Theobald in the 18th century as an adaptation of a Shakespeare play about a Spanish nobleman's ignoble pursuit of two women. Theobald, a known scholar of Shakespeare, mounted his play at Drury Lane Theatre in London on December 13, 1727, claiming that it was a re-working of an original by the Bard and that he had three original texts. His claims were greeted with widespread scepticism in the eighteenth century, including from the great poet Alexander Pope, who had considerable clout. But a new study of its language to build up a psychological profile of the writer 'strongly identifies' the legendary playwright as the true author. Dr Ryan Boyd of the University of Texas said: 'Research in psychology has shown some of the core features of who a person is at their deepest level can be revealed based on how they use language. 'With our new study, we show you can actually take a lot of this information and put it all together at once to understand an author like Shakespeare rather deeply.' The study applied psychological theory and text analysing software and goes beyond confirming authorship by word counts and linguistic regularities. Mr Boyd explained: 'This research shows it is indeed possible to start modelling peoples' mental worlds in much more complete ways. 'We do not need a time machine and a survey form to figure out what type of person Shakespeare was - we can determine that very accurately just based on how he wrote using methods that are objective and easy to do.' Results showed the author of Double Falsehood was likely to be sociable and fairly well educated, findings that do not fit with accounts of Theobald as rigid and abrasive. Theobald published Double Falsehood in 1728 and claimed it was based on three original Shakespeare manuscripts which have since been lost, presumably destroyed by a library fire. Yet the authorship of the play has been hotly contested ever since. To get to the bottom of the mystery 33 plays by the Bard, twelve by Theobald and nine by Shakespeare's collaborator John Fletcher, were examined in the study published in Psychological Science. Jacobean dramatist John Fletcher (left) most likely collaborated with Shakespeare on Double Falsehood (right), which was long thought not to have had anything to do with the Bard . Software evaluated 'function words' including pronouns, articles and prepositions and words belonging to various content categories such as emotions, family, sensory perception and religion. They also looked at 'categorical writing' which tends to be heavy on nouns, articles and prepositions and indicates an analytic or formal way of thinking.

He attempted to add requirements that any driver who wishes to discriminate against a customer based on sexual orientation or gender identity must advertise their intent on their vehicle and on the company's website.

Bresnan last played in the England whites during the 5-0 Ashes defeat in the winter of 2013/14, though in recent months he enjoyed a pre-World Cup training session with the squad in Australia and also turned out for the England Lions on their tour of South Africa. More importantly perhaps, the double Ashes-winner helped end Yorkshire's 13-year wait for a title last season, taking 30 wickets in 10 games at an average of 31.57 and making 95 against Nottinghamshire on the day the championship was clinched.

With New Zealand and Australia still to come this year, the Headingley faithful's belief of 'strong Yorkshire, strong England' is already showing good signs with six White Rose players currently on tour in the West Indies. Bresnan says: 'The only thing I can do is get runs and take wickets for Yorkshire' And when asked if he would like to make it number seven, Bresnan said, 'That's up to the selectors.' 'If I do get a load of wickets at the start of the season and get a few runs then I put my case forward, that's all I can do - then it's up to the selectors.

'We're defending champions, so we're going to do our utmost to defend the title. 'If we play the consistent cricket we did last year - which we are capable of - we'll be there and thereabouts again.' Bresnan did take a step towards that good start on Wednesday, when he reached 400 first-class wickets during Yorkshire's game against Leeds-Bradford MCCU at Headingley. But regardless of his own selection, Bresnan is confident England can put in a good showing against New Zealand and Australia after a turbulent year that also included an early World Cup exit.

Bresnan did express his disappointment at England's tour matches against St Kitts and Nevis, where some of the Three Lions side have padded up for the hosts in a bid to give the bowlers a higher-quality challenge.

Bale is out of Real's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atletico on Wednesday . The Wales international injured his calf during Saturday's 3-1 win against Malaga after just two minutes . The possibility of a Bale-plus-cash move for De Gea this summer would certainly suit United and please those Real Madrid supporters who fail to see the value of Bale and those goals that won the club three trophies last year, but the player remains adamant that his future is in Madrid. In nearly all transfer wrangles the player gets what he wants over and above the desires of the clubs involved and it seems highly unlikely that he will be wearing anything other than a white shirt next season such is his desire to ride out the storm in Madrid. He had a sensational first season in Spain winning four trophies and scoring in the Copa del Rey, Champions League and World Club Cup finals. This season he has been the target of some post-decima criticism and even booed at times in his own stadium but he is determined to win over fans who have jeered some of the greatest players in history in their time.

Greek researchers created the algorithm, which determines a person\u2019s 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\u2019 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\u2019 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\u2019s 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 \u2013 but slightly below the English and Welsh limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.

It accused Tory Chancellor George Osborne and his Labour opponent Ed Balls of failing to spell out exactly where the axe will fall. IFS deputy director Carl Emmerson said: 'There are genuinely big differences between the main parties' fiscal plans. 'The electorate has a real choice, although it can at best see only the broad outlines of that choice. 'Conservative plans involve a significantly larger reduction in borrowing and debt than Labour plans. 'But they are predicated on substantial and almost entirely unspecified spending cuts and tax increases. 'While Labour has been considerably less clear about its overall fiscal ambition, its stated position appears to be consistent with little in the way of further spending cuts after this year.'

The result undershot the latest target of \u00a390.2 billion set by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) at the time of last month's Budget.

We have a lot of options in midfield and he can play until July 1 and get as much experience as possible. It's a big club as well - the biggest club in Norway, high expectations there.

For the state that calls itself the 'Land of Lincoln,' the timing of a ceremony Wednesday in Springfield to mark his death is awkward because Illinois faces a financial crisis and Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed eliminating the state Historic Preservation Agency that manages sites including the tomb as it currently exists. He would roll the agency into another department. What's more, the popular tourist site was pilloried in this month's issue of National Geographic magazine as having 'all the historical character of an office lobby.'

Recounting the route of Lincoln's funeral train to Springfield for burial, historian Adam Goodheart describes the tomb as 'a disappointment' and reconstructed in 'incongruous Art Deco style.' 'It's strange to think that there is a place where Lincoln still physically exists in the world, let alone that it's a place like this,' writes Goodheart, who is director for Washington College's Center for the American Experience in Maryland. Goodheart's publicist didn't immediately return a request for comment. The hours and days the Lincoln tomb is open have been reduced, and it's staffed with fewer employees since state lawmakers last year cut $1.1 million funding for sites in the Springfield area. On Tuesday \u2014 the 150th anniversary of John Wilkes Booth's shooting of Lincoln, although the president was pronounced dead the following day \u2014 Joan Boatz and a group of former bridge club friends found the tomb's iron door locked, despite a sign saying the site should be open at that time. Chris Wills, spokesman for the Historic Preservation Agency, said the correct times when the site is open are posted on its website. Pam VanAlstine, president of the Lincoln Monument Association, said she's deeply concerned about what more cuts might mean for the Lincoln site.

More than a third of NHS trusts are considering rationing some types of surgery and other treatments. Several have admitted they may impose 'eligibility' rules which could affect smokers as well as the overweight. More than a third of health trusts are considering rationing some types of surgery and other treatments to save money, according to a new study . The criteria for accepting patients for operations would be based on their Body Mass Index, which measures obesity. When senior managers at 67 Clinical Commissioning Groups \u2013 local health trusts \u2013 were asked, 39 per cent said they were planning to 'limit access' to routine treatment for financial reasons. Procedures affected include varicose vein treatment, hip and knee replacement, and breast reduction surgery. Others said smokers might be denied some treatments, most commonly IVF. Senior doctors criticised the plans and accused health managers of denying patients vital treatment simply because they were considered to be 'undeserving'. Dr David Paynton, of the Royal College of GPs, said: 'Decisions about whether our patients are eligible for surgery or treatment need to be made on a case-by-case basis and by whether surgery will benefit a patient's long-term physical and mental health. 'It should not be the role of CCGs to impose blanket bans on patients' access to surgery, nor to decide who is and who is not deserving of potentially life-saving treatments based on their lifestyle choices. Obese patients could be denied varicose vein treatment, hip and knee replacement, pictured, and breast reduction surgery, while smokers could be banned from having IVF on the NHS . 'Of course, some procedures cannot be performed on patients who are above a certain weight. 'In these cases, a clinical decision needs to be made about whether surgery would be beneficial if the patient lost weight \u2013 but this is a separate issue.'

While most of these products end up collecting dust in the back of a drawer, beauty has seen an insurgence of natural alternatives, with all-purpose ingredients such as coconut oil taking over in their place. One woman has promised to revolutionise beauty regimes with her creation of more than 100 products, all organic and natural, that can be concocted in your own kitchen. Fifi M. Maacaron's book, Natural Beauty Alchemy, contains over 100 ingredients which treat all-manner of skincare ailments such as acne, oil and dryness . Fifi M. Maacaron uses full-fat cream cheese in a face mask, which supposedly quenches the skin . Fifi M. Maacaron, 36, is a pharmacist and natural skincare expert who believes that natural alternatives are the way forward, especially in the midst of gimmicky expensive products. Maacaron, from Newport News, Virginia, created her book, Natural Beauty Alchemy, not only to showcase that there are inexpensive alternatives to store-bought products, but also to explain many myths surrounding skincare. For example, while cream-cheese is usually more used to seeing the top of a bagel, Maacaron proposes another use for it. Her Winter Rescue Mask is specially formulated for dry and weather-beaten skin and contains full-fat cream cheese. The 36-year-old author explains that the richness of the cheese will quench the skin and help protect it against weather-induced dryness. Apple cider vinegar has been cited as a great cleansing agent, and is included as an ingredient in the Subtle Bubble Shampoo . Sesame oil is another beneficial natural ingredient, containing antioxidants and is well-tolerated by most skin types, even the most sensitive ones . Apple cider is used in several of the recipes, in a toner for acne-prone skin and also in a shampoo - the acidic nature of the ingredient working as a great cleansing agent. Other recipes suggest alternatives to everything from cleansers to foot creams to even perfumes, which use a spread of natural products including green tea to rinse hair, potatoes for a face mask and coffee grounds for cellulite. Natural Beauty Alchemy was born when author Maacaron went on the search for a perfect product, and was shocked by the falsity of some store-bought products. She says: 'As I entered into my 30s, I felt that my skin needed more care. 'As a pharmacist, I read ingredients labels and many times I'd study each facial cream in the 'green and natural section' and come out empty handed and shocked at the extent of dishonesty and fraudulent marketing.' The natural skincare expert began formulating recipes herself and became a go-to for her friends and family. Honey and lemon juice are other products that are regularly featured as beneficial natural skincare ingredients . She explains: 'I reached a point where I was becoming a reference to friends and family and many would ask me for recipes. 'I've tried all of the recipes because I formulate them.

The divisive batsman has re-signed for Surrey this summer in an attempt to win an unlikely England recall, having been thrown an apparent lifeline by incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves. He has not played in the LV= County Championship since 2013 but is set to start the season with the Brown Caps in the hope of turning the selectors' heads and reversing last year's controversial sacking. Kevin Pietersen will step up his attempts to earn an England recall when he starts batting on Monday . The 34-year-old Pietersen wants to end his England absence that started after the 2013-14 Ashes whitewash . Pietersen (right) rejoined Surrey after incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves said domestic form would help . The 34-year-old has indicated that his campaign will start with a three-day warm-up against Oxford MCCU on April 12 and he is due to return to the nets on Monday. Pietersen announced that to his 2.3 million Twitter followers on Easter Sunday, raising the prospect of using the social network's new broadcast app, Periscope, to showcase his session in real time. He wrote: 'Starting to bat tomorrow...might @periscopeco it, so all of you can watch it Live & see how I get on. Should I? #comeback'. Quite how Pietersen's '#comeback' will pan out in the long term is unclear. He clearly feels Graves' words are encouragement enough of a Test recall but after so many bitter recriminations - and one dazzlingly indiscreet autobiography - there are still many bridges to build. His decision to hit the county trail, so long a bete noire in his career, at least offers the platform for him to nudge both selectorial and public opinion from close quarters. But when England flew to the West Indies on Thursday ahead of the forthcoming Test series, the messages were thoroughly mixed. Captain Alastair Cook, who was not given a glittering write-up in the Pietersen's book, largely absolved himself from the decision-making process, insisting it would be taken by Graves, managing director of England cricket Paul Downton and chief executive Tom Harrison. Coach Peter Moores was less ambiguous. Moores was sacked from his first stint in charge in 2008, partially at the behest of Pietersen, whose intervention also cost him the captaincy. Incoming ECB chairman Graves advised that signing for a domestic side would help Pietersen's cause . Alastair Cook (left) was coy on Pietersen's chances of a recall but Peter Moores said he 'isn't on the radar' Moores was previously dismissed as England coach at the behest of Pietersen when he was captain . He was then belittled as a nagging 'woodpecker' in the the batsman's memoir and reconciliation between the two men would appear a stretch.

After five customers reported having 'thermal incidents', Holden issued a stop delivery notice to car dealers and urged owners of the Holden Colorado- SUV or ute- to have their cars checked out immediately. Spanning just over a year, the models said to be affected were made in Thailand between September 2013 and January 2015. After five customers reported having 'thermal incidents', Holden issued a stop delivery notice to car dealers and urged owners of the Holden Colorado- SUV or ute- to have their cars checked out immediately . This latest safety issue makes Holden the most recalled car brand in 2015. Last year, Holden shared the title of most recalls with Jeep after issuing 14 notices to recall around nine vehicles- including the Holden Barina, the Holden Cruze and the Holden TJ Trax- amid safety concerns. A website run by the federal government confirmed there is a risk 'cable insulation' in the Colorado 'may melt of catch fire.' Holden said the issue is caused by an alternator cable making unnecessary contact with a steel bracket on the battery tray. They said under certain driving conditions the movement of the engine could cause the cable to rub through the insulation, potentially causing a short circuit. This latest safety issue makes Holden the most recalled car brand in 2015, with five recalls in only four months . 'If the short circuit creates sufficient heat, there is a risk that the cable insulation may melt or potentially catch fire,' Holden told Newscorp in a statement. Holden said drivers should look out for warning signs that their car may be affected, like a battery warning light on the dash board, or in more serious cases a 'small amount of smoke' seen coming from the engine bay. Earlier this month, Holden recalled the Korean-made Captiva after concerns that the SUV may lurch forward if the key was left in the ignition for too long. This brings Holden to a total of five recalls in the first four months of this year. Holden revealed that if the short circuit creates sufficient heat, there is a risk that the cable insulation may melt or potentially catch fire (Stock photo) This comes as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced figures that show the number of safety recalls in Australia are steadily on the rise.

The number of GPs from abroad is up by 11 per cent in a decade as the NHS tries to combat a shortage of staff. Foreigners now account for almost one family doctor in five although in some areas the proportion is more than two-thirds. Senior doctors say the number will rise further over the next few years because the NHS is so short of homegrown medics. Figures from the Health and Social Care Information Centre show that 22.0 per cent of current GPs gained their qualifications overseas, up from 19.8 per cent in 2004 . But the figure is 71 per cent in Barking and Dagenham, east London, 63 per cent in Medway, Kent, and 58 per cent in North Lincolnshire. The NHS is facing a shortage because many GPs are retiring early. Others are moving overseas in search of better conditions. The Royal College of GPs estimates that the NHS will need to hire at least 8,000 more doctors over the next five years to keep pace with a rising, and ageing, population. The NHS employs 40,584 GPs, of whom 8,941 are from overseas. This is up from 6,921 in 2004 when there were 34,855 family doctors in total.

+{"article": "The earthquake disaster in Nepal has highlighted how Earth's land masses are already in the process of forming a new supercontinent. That's according to one researcher who travelled to the country to study how the Indian and Eurasian plates are moving together. And using new techniques, researchers can now start examining the changes due to take place over the next tens of millions of years like never before. Earth's continents are slowly moving together (left), and in 50 to 200 million years they are expected to form a new supercontinent called Amasia (right). In 2012 a study suggested this may be centered on the North Pole. Recent evidence is revealing how this will compare to the ancient supercontinents Rodinia and Pangaea . The idea that Earth is set to form a new supercontinent - dubbed Amasia - is not new. But, as reported by Peter Spinks from the Sydney Morning Herald, Curtin University geologist Dr Zheng-Xiang Li travelled to Nepal to study the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. The idea that Earth is set to form a new supercontinent - dubbed Amasia - is not new. But new techniques are allowing experts to study the changes in unprececdented ways. Where exactly this supercontinent will form, however, has been the cause of some debate. While some had suspected it would be centered around Africa, a study by Yale University in 2012 suggested that the North Pole would actually be the centre point. North and South America will crunch together, with the Caribbean Sea and Arctic Ocean disappearing, while Asia will join the Americas, according to the study. They said the changes would occur in 50 to 200 million years. Despite already being attached to Eurasia, the Indian plate is continuing to move North at a few centimetres per year - causing tectonic activity. But other continents are also moving towards each other. The Pacific Ocean is narrowing at a few centimetres per year, which will ultimately cause America to collide with Eurasia, while Australia is also moving towards Asia by 2.8 inches (7cm) a year and will join Amasia. \u2018It would take at least tens of millions more years - perhaps several hundred million years - before the new supercontinent is fully formed,\u2019 Dr Li told the SMH. Using new techniques - namely high-resolution seismic tomography, geographical information systems and increased computing power - scientists are able to track these changes in unprecedented ways. For example, they can compare them to previous supercontinents Rodinia and Pangaea, which formed one billion and 300 million years ago respectively. \u2018These advances have allowed us to link present-day plate tectonics on Earth's surface to dynamic processes deep in the mantle - and to link these to ancient records of geology,\u2019 Dr Li said. Many of Earth's land masses are continuing to move into each other.

There are some who might say it was the finest goal ever scored at Wembley. The other main contender for that prize is probably another of his, for England against Scotland at Euro 96. Paul Gascoigne hits the 35-yard free-kick that would cement his place in Tottenham legend . The Spurs midfielder struck a ferocious shot that has gone down as one of the all-time great goals at Wembley . Gascoigne's goal came five minutes into an FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham's arch-rivals, Arsenal .

It was a relaxed, throwaway question. 'He is you know,' came the next line shortly after, excitement barely registering. Gascoigne took a run-up at the ball, and swung hard with his right boot. He nailed it, right on the sweet spot. The shot quickly became a cannonball, bursting through David Seaman's gloves and into the top corner of the net, despite the goalkeeper getting his hands to the ball.

The fund had been facing allegations of improper behavior after reports surfaced about undisclosed donations from foreign governments and a donor who was selling his uranium company to a Russian state agency at the same time the State Department had to approve the sale. Acting CEO Maura Pally defended the foundation's work and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, describing its policies on donor disclosure and contributions from foreign governments as 'stronger than ever.' However, the tempered apology came the same day that a government watchdog said that the charity seemed like a 'slush fund' for one of America's most powerful political families. The acting CEO of the Clinton Foundation apologized after Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy put it under intense scrutiny for undisclosed donations. Above, Clinton speaks at a foundation event in December . Maura Pally (left) said that money received from a businessman when he was seeking State Department approval for selling his company to Russia (right) could not be disclosed under Canadian law . Pally said the foundation expected to refile some of its tax forms, following a voluntary external review, because it had 'mistakenly combined' government grants and donations. She said the foundation would 'remedy' any errors but stressed the total revenue was reported accurately and that grants were properly broken out on audited statements on its website. 'Yes, we made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do, but we are acting quickly to remedy them, and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future,' she said. Pally also described the foundation's work with the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, which she said received funding from a separate organization in Canada. The partnership received more than $2million in donations from the Canadian chairman of Uranium One, Ian Telfer, when it was being sold to Russian state atomic agency Rosatom. Telfer's donations, given by his own foundation, came at the same time as the State Department, then headed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, helped approve the sale. The transaction, which followed Bill Clinton helping businessman Frank Giustra secure some of the Kazakh uranium sites also being sold, needed to be vetted by a government committee because it gave one-fifth of US uranium production into foreign hands. Pally's blog post said that the Giustra partnership does not disclose its donors because under Canadian law they are not disclosed without prior permission from each donor. 'This is hardly an effort on our part to avoid transparency,' she said.

Sexually suggestive?: A New Jersey father has claimed as part of a custody battle that his ex-wife 'abused her parental discretion' by taking their daughter to Pink's December 2013 concert at the Prudential Center in Newark (pictured). A judge ruled that while the singer's works can be suggestive, they are preteen-appropriate . But state Superior Court Judge Lawrence Jones rejected the complaint in a 37-page decision that contained a brief history of rock `n' roll and a commentary on the increasing use of judges as referees for warring divorced parents. Jones said Pink may have some suggestive moves and lyrics, but she's an artist whose works aren't necessarily inappropriate for preteens. Jones noted in his decision that he spoke privately with the girl, who is now 12, and took into consideration the mother's reasoning for allowing her daughter to attend the show. He found that the mother 'in no way, shape or form exceeded the boundaries of reasonable parental judgment' in taking the girl to the show during her own parenting time. He also found that she didn't subject the child to any unreasonable risk of harm, or compromise the girl's health, safety or welfare.

The perfect script for this first Test saw Anderson taking the four wickets he needed to become the most prolific bowler in England\u2019s history in his 100th game with record holder Sir Ian Botham here and waiting to crown his successor. But West Indies made Anderson wait on an attritional day that was in sharp contrast to the excitement provided by the first of this crucial series. Certainly Anderson would not have expected to play a more significant role with bat than ball on the second day of this first Test as West Indies did much to make up for their profligacy in the last two sessions of the first. When Anderson, watched by his wife, two daughters and parents, strode out to bat England had lost five wickets for 20 runs and were in danger of wasting the initiative handed to them largely by Ian Bell\u2019s century. But \u2018the Burnley Lara\u2019, of course, is a more than useful No 11 these days and came within 19 runs of a Test century at Trent Bridge last year, so it should not have been a surprise to see him sticking around with Chris Jordan. When the pair were separated after a last-wicket stand of 38 England had moved to within a run of the score of 400 that should have been their minimum target when they were well placed on 341 for four on the first evening. Then it was a question of whether this unassuming Lancastrian could move from 380 wickets to 384 and overtake Botham, who was on hand apparently with a nice bottle of red wine waiting to celebrate, at the top of England\u2019s Test tree.

The total, cited in media reports about the secretive investigation, would mean the trail of deceit from the fallen face of NBC's Nightly News goes far deeper than previously reported. Investigative journalists at the network have been poring over Williams's past reports and statements after he was booted from the top job in TV news, hunting down signs of dishonesty. Lies on lies: Williams, pictured above during his last Nightly News broadcast before being suspended, embellished at least 11 different reports, an internal investigation has reportedly found . Iraq shame: Williams fell from grace after veterans called him out after he lied about being on board a U.S. military chopper which was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, but miraculously managed to land . Williams was publicly suspended with no pay for six months after it emerged that he repeatedly told a self-aggrandizing, false story about being aboard a military helicopter hit by an RPG over Iraq. Further scrutiny of Williams's record turned up other questionable claims, including dodging rocket fire over Israel and seeing a body floating through the French Quarter of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Even more such claims have been turned up now, according to reports by CNN and the Washington Post. Both cite a briefing given to NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke on Thursday in New York City at which top executives were updated on the investigation. Pyramid of lies: The latest specific Williams tall tale to emerge dates to 2011 in Egypt's Tahrir Square.

Trust me, I'm an anchor: Williams is pictured above being intereview by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and claiming to have up-close experience of the Arab Spring protests . CNN said 10 puffed-up claims had been found, while the Post said the figure was 11. An earlier report in the New York Times, identified a particular incident, dating back to Williams's coverage of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings. NBC investigators honed in on an appearance on the Daily Show where Williams boasted that he had looked into the eyes of mounted Egyptian soldiers in Cairo's Tahrir Square, and seen armed men beat protesters. From his conversation with host Jon Stewart, Williams implies he was in the thick of the chaotic pro-democracy movement. However, the Times said, NBC news broadcasts from the time make it clear he was in fact on a balcony overlooking the square from a safe distance. Close to the wind: Another questionable Williams claim comes from Israel's 2006 war with Hezbollah.

But it might take more than a slice of carbon fibre to protect Cesc Fabregas from what could be a quite hateful reception when he takes his first steps at the Emirates Stadium since he left to join Barcelona. That 2011 move was seen and widely accepted - externally - as the prodigal son going home. This next fixture is seen by some as the return of a player who rejected a second coming at Arsenal in favour of Chelsea. He will surely win the league, having already won the Capital One Cup, but what has he lost at the club that made him? What of the line of communication he once had with Arsene Wenger?

It has been suggested they have not spoken since Fabregas made the summer move that got so many backs up. There is nothing terribly unusual in that except they used to be so close, to the extent that Wenger continued to text Fabregas on birthdays and career milestones while he was at Barcelona. \u2018He hasn\u2019t spoken to me since I came back,\u2019 Fabregas was quoted as saying in September. \u2018It was the kind of relationship I always would have liked to keep. \u2018But I'm sure once everything dies down a bit in the future we will talk. There is no problem. I'll always be grateful to him whatever happens.\u2019 Except there is still believed to be only silence from the man he once called his \u2018second father\u2019.

He was the boy who attended his first Barca match as a nine-month-old baby with his grandfather. The tale of how he came to be their player 10 years later is wonderful. The story goes that he was playing for Mataro, 35km north of Barcelona.

The family, from Talybont-on-Usk, Wales, were enjoying their last run of the holiday when Antonia fell and her mother stopped to help. Carwyn carried on skiing and then ventured into a wooded area. His mother thought he had continued to their accommodation but raised the alarm when he did not return. Mr Michau said: \u2018The inquiry has found the piste was well signposted. The boy would have been aware that he was leaving the piste. The reason why is not known but it was by error. \u2018Had he been with someone bigger or older, the accident wouldn\u2019t have happened but it remains a dramatic and tragic accident.\u2019 In a statement released to the Foreign Office, his family described Carwyn as a 'daring, outgoing, determined little boy' and a 'very competent skier and snowboarder'. They said they were enjoying their last ski run together when Carwyn's sister 'lost her ski on a jump and at this point Carwyn skied ahead'. 'He was a very daring outgoing determined little boy whose handsome smile lit up any room and made life full of laughter with never a dull moment. Seven years is too short a time to be an angel in the sky. 'Carwyn was a very competent skier and snowboarder who had started skiing at the age of three and spent several weeks each year skiing. We had spent the most happy ski holiday together in the French ski resort of Flaine.' The statement went on to explain how the family became separated on their last run of the day. 'The family were all enjoying their last ski run over the small jumps and bumps at the side of the slope together, when Carwyn's sister lost her ski on a jump and at this point Carwyn skied ahead,' it said. 'The family cannot explain their feeling of utter devastation with a vast void in their hearts.

Perhaps the goalkeeper would have been better off hiding behind conventional wisdom, considering the disappointment of this elongated campaign which could yet see Everton finish in the bottom half of the Premier League for the first time since 2006. Those prospects are dwindling, courtesy of a four-game unbeaten run, but there is no mistaking that Roberto Martinez\u2019s side have fallen way below the standards set last season. The gap between their status now and after 32 games last season is 25 points, the difference between targeting a Champions League place and chasing the top 10. Tim Howard is adamant the Europa League is not to blame for Everton's poor season in the Premier League .

The demands of playing 10 games in the Europa League have certainly taken their toll but Howard rejected that theory, saying: \u2018That\u2019s something that\u2019s been talked about for the last five or 10 years but it\u2019s just a blanket statement people make. Champions League teams have to do the same thing. \u2018They play Wednesday and Saturday and it\u2019s tough but no-one blames Champions League football.

Miss Campbell said: \u2018I was just so desperately ill that the relationship was put under extreme pressure.\u2019 But the split was amicable, with Miss Campbell and Mr McMorrow, 32, a marketing consultant, making Lexi-River their priority. Miss Campbell suffered horrific injuries when a mortar bomb hit the building in Basra she was guarding while serving with 19 Tank Transporter Squadron in 2007 as a young mum with a then three-year-old daughter, Milly, from a previous relationship.

Two years after the blast she elected to have her leg amputated, as unbearable pain had left her housebound. During her recovery she gained weight from being wheelchair-bound, going from 9\u00bd st to 21st, while post-traumatic stress disorder caused her to lose her hair. With the help of doctors Miss Campbell, from Northampton, rebuilt herself with a \u00a352,500 makeover including a prosthetic leg, make-up which is tattooed on, Botox, gastric band weight loss treatment, a tummy tuck and hair extensions.

+{"article": "A report suggests that carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels could be captured and used to produce the fizz in Cola (stock image shown) We may be told that fizzy drinks aren\u2019t good for our health, but there's a chance that they could be beneficial to the planet. An Australian government report suggests that carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels could be captured and used to produce the fizz in Cola. Many nations are looking into Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies as a way to cut their greenhouse house emissions, of which carbon dioxide plays a large role. CCS refers to the process of capturing carbon released by burning fossil fuels and storing it in porous rock layers in areas such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs. The technology has the potential to reduce the emissions of a typical coal-power plant by up to 90 per cent, but there are concerns over storing such huge amounts of carbon underground. The government\u2019s Energy White Paper has an idea of how to overcome this. After noting that industrial processes, which rely on the combustion of fossil fuels, are responsible for a significant proportion of Australia\u2019s carbon dioxide emissions, it says: \u2018If the CO2 can be captured before it is released to the atmosphere it can either be utilised in other products or permanently stored in deep geological formations. \u2018Australia has worked closely with other countries which rely heavily on fossil fuels to investigate opportunities to utilise CO2 in products such as carbonated drinks and plastics or to enhance the growth of oil-rich algae in solar bioreactors to produce biofuel.\u2019 This implies that as well as investigating the production of biofuels, carbon dioxide could be stashed in fizzy drinks. However, the report goes on to note that: \u2018While these processes are promising, there is no commercial CO2 re-use in Australia, largely reflecting the high cost of capturing the CO2 from a flue gas stream.\u2019 Of course, cans of fizzy drinks emit gas when they are opened, as shown by the sharp hissing noise, and there is no mention of how this gas could be captured too. The Register obtained consumption data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics that suggest 944 million litres of fizzy drinks are consumed in Australia in a year. It\u2019s previously been calculated that there are 2.2 grams of carbon dioxide in a typical can of Coke, which means that just over 2,000 tonnes of carbon emissions could be saved if the gas was captured in cans \u2013 and not released again. It's estimated that 3,299 tonnes of carbon dioxide are released every day from people drinking Coca Cola alone, according to an article in the Herald Sun. So if the gas came from a recycled source, it could play a small role in helping the environment. Last April, an IPCC report highlighted a number of barriers to using CCS, including fatal CO2 leaks, transport issues and operational risks, such as seismic tremors. But geologists came to the defence of the controvertial method of mitigating global warming. The report", "summary": "Australian report suggests ways carbon dioxide could be captured .

Gary Goldsmith, the controversial brother of Kate\u2019s mother, Carole Middleton, posted a picture of the alleged culprit who hit his chihuahua, Cheech, on social media. His accompanying message included the words: \u2018Evil s***\u2026 Coming to get ya.\u2019 The flamboyant millionaire businessman, who was once caught up in a tabloid sting in which he was alleged to have offered a reporter drugs and prostitutes, was with his wife Julie-Ann in Regent\u2019s Park at 8.30am yesterday. As he went for a cycle ride, Mrs Goldsmith took six-year-old Cheech and their other dog Keela, four, for a stroll in the Central London park when a cyclist, listening to music on his headphones, ran straight over Cheech. Mr Goldsmith, 49, told the Mail: \u2018The dogs were a few feet away from her when a cyclist, wearing headphones, just came out of nowhere. He was going far too fast and didn\u2019t slow down. \u2018Suddenly he went over Cheech with both wheels. Cheech yelped and did a parachute roll before lying down on his side. He looked dead.\u2019 Although both his wife and a witness challenged the man, he merely abused them before riding off. \u2018Julie-Ann yelled to the bloke to get off his bike but he just ignored her,\u2019 Mr Goldsmith said. \u2018Then an American lady, who witnessed everything, walked over and said to him, \u201cYou were going far too fast. Give me your details\u201d. \u2018She told Julie-Ann that she thought it looked almost deliberate. But the cyclist just said to her, \u201cDon\u2019t get hysterical, you American\u201d. By this time Julie-Ann was crouching by Cheech and he coughed up some blood. \u2018The bloke then turned to her and said: \u201cI haven\u2019t killed your dog.\u201d The American then grabbed Julie-Ann\u2019s phone and took a photo of him but he just turned away and sped off out of the park. \u2018I was on the other side of the park when Julie-Ann called me, completely distraught.

A High Street bank has been hit with a record \u00a321million fine after being caught falsifying documents to avoid compensating victims of mis-selling. Now there are calls for criminal charges to be brought over an extraordinary cover-up lasting more than two years at Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks. Rogue staff misled the Financial Ombudsman \u2013 deliberately obstructing its investigation into payment protection insurance complaints. They deleted records and tampered with evidence to make it look like the customer was never sold PPI, or they lied about not being able to trace documents. Politicians called for a police investigation into the wrong-doing, which took place between May 2011 and July 2013. Mark Garnier, a Tory former member of the Treasury committee, said: \u2018This all took place well after the financial crisis, when banks said they had changed. Clearly they haven\u2019t. \u2018It would be unacceptable if criminal charges are not brought against the people who perpetrated this. An example must be set.\u2019 Labour\u2019s John Mann said those who falsified documents could be guilty of fraud or forgery. \u2018The police or the Serious Fraud Office should look at the evidence, because clearly there is a possibility of fraud or forgery which cheated people out of compensation,\u2019 he said. It is a criminal offence under the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981 to falsify documents. Mr Mann added: \u2018This behaviour is reprehensible and shows the lengths some banks have been prepared to go to mislead regulators. \u2018The police really need to look into this \u2013 fines are not enough.\u2019 Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks are part of the same group and owned by National Australia Bank, with around three million customers and just under 300 branches. Clydesdale holds the banking licence for both in the UK. According to the City watchdog, the worst of the cover-up \u2013 which lasted from May 2012 to June 2013 \u2013 resulted in up to 42,200 PPI complaints being rejected unfairly and up to 50,900 customers receiving inadequate compensation. In one case a married couple were cheated out of a \u00a35,100 pay-out because the lender lied to the ombudsman that it had not been able to trace records of them having bought PPI. In reality, it never looked for them in the first place. The FCA said the bank had an \u2018inappropriate policy\u2019 for its complaints handling in 2011\u2013 instructing staff not to search for PPI complaints relating to loans and mortgages that had been repaid more than seven years prior to the complaint. Clydesdale also failed to trawl back through credit card statements dating before 2000 for customers mis-sold PPI alongside a credit card. This resulted in some customers being short-changed on compensation pay-outs, or missing out entirely. But the wrongdoing escalated in May 2012 when a team of staff started to provide false information to the Financial Ombudsman when it was investigating complaints on old PPI policies. This included deleting any reference to PPI on documents related to a customer.

The decision from U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott means right-wing groups are a step closer to being allowed to pursue a class-action lawsuit against the IRS. The agency has admitted playing political favorites with the tax code beginning in 2010, when it began applying extra scrutiny to groups with red-flag words like 'patriots' or 'tea party' in their names. While those organizations' applications were held up for years, liberal groups sailed through the process. Federal tax-exempt status is confered on groups that serve a public purpose, including issue advocacy, and allows them to promise tax deductions to their donors. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . F.U.I.R.S.: American conservatives were up in marks in 2013 after the IRS confirmed it had been slow-walking tax-exemption applications from tea party groups based on red-flag words in their names . Lois Lerner, the former IRS official at the heart of the tea party targeting scandal, ran the 'Exempt Organizations' division until late 2013 when she retired with full benefits; the Justice Department said this week that it won't prosecute her for defying a congressional subpoena and refusing to answer questions . Tax-exempt organizations are not permitted to work for or against candidates for public office, but they can use up to half of their funds to make public arguments about political matters like tax policy, the Obamacare insurance overhaul, the environment or foreign policy. Dlott agreed this week that the tea party groups suing the government can pursue their claims that the IRS violated their First and Fifth Amendment rights, along with a section of federal law \u2013 Section 6103 of Title 26 \u2013 that prohibits the government from releasing private information contained in tax returns. When the Treasury Department's Office of Inspector General investigated the IRS's actions, it demanded \u2013 and received \u2013 a list of 298 groups whose tax-exemption applications had been held up. It's this list that the tea party groups want. Their lawsuit aims first to identify a list of 'all dissenting groups targeted for additional scrutiny by the IRS from January 20, 2009, through July 15, 2013.' Dlott could then choose to certify that list as a 'class' of plaintiffs. IRS commissioner John Koskinen has insisted that his agency is no longer targeting conservative groups with special scrutiny, and has offered to green-list any group that promises it will limit its political activity to 40 per cent of its budget \u2013 but some organizations are holdout out, claiming the law entitles them to a 50 per cent limit . The IRS's lawyers claimed that they couldn't provide the court with the names of all the groups, saying they would have to turn over the very documents that Section 6103 requires them to keep confidential. The conservative plaintiffs said they would be happy to have only the spreadsheet that the inspector general got from the IRS.

+{"article": "It might not sound very romantic. But ditching the idea that we should we should marry for life could help many of us have happier relationships, according to a marriage therapist. A fixed-term Starter Marriage, in which couples sign a renewable contract - known as a 'wedlease'- would work better for many couples, argues Susan Pease Gadoua. A relationship expert has suggested that a renewable marriage contract known as a 'wedlease' would work better for many modern day couples and avoid increasing divorces . In her new book, The New I Do, which was co-written with Vicki Larson, she claims that the traditional marriage model in our modern-day culture 'sets up too many people for failure'. So, instead of promising 'til death do us part', couples in a Starter Marriage agree to be together for 'two, three, four or more years \u2013 whatever works for you and your partner'. At the end of the stated contract period, the couple decide whether they want to go their separate ways, or continue with the marriage, at which point they should draw up a revised contract. 'A Starter Marriage is a short-term contract for couples to 'try on' the institution to see if it fits \u2013 without bringing children into the mix \u2013 before jumping into a life-long contract,' Mrs Pease Gadoua said. 'We have learner's permits for driving, we have internships before starting careers and we have probationary or modifiable contracts in many other business negotiations, yet the greatest and most in-depth legal contract that most of us will ever enter requires that you commit to one person forever with precious little information about what it will entail.' Relationship counsellor Susan Pease Gadoua says that traditional weddings set people up for failure . The Starter Marriage can be an improvement on the traditional marital model because 'each spouse will need to be paying closer attention to his or her actions and stick to what was agreed to, lest his or her partner decides not to renew a few years down the road', the 53 year old claims. And if the couple do decide to part, the separation should be more amicable than other divorces might be and reduce the odds of individuals feeling like they have 'failed', she adds. 'Because a Starter Marriage by its nature avoids the drama that typically goes along with a marital dissolution, you and your former spouse will more likely be able to sit down and compare notes about what worked and what didn't.' If the couple stay together, the new contract could be amended to fit another of the specific marital models that Mrs Pease Gadoua advocates. For example, if they want children, they could sign a 'Parenting Marriage' contract (couples should remain childless while in a Starter Marriage 'because it's a bad idea to 'try on' marriage with young lives in the balance'), with new rules and goals. Or if monogamy proved a challenge during the Starter Marriage, an Open Marriage contract 'might be an attractive option', she said.

Falkiner, who also has a certificate in nutrition says that nuts are a big part of her children's diet and are packed full of nutritional benefits. 'Nuts are packed with good protein.

A new study shows you are a third more likely to be diagnosed with diseases such as Alzheimer's than those of a healthy weight. Obese people appear to be protected against dementia, with a risk around 30 per cent lower than those of healthy weight. The findings contradict many previous studies which have suggested that being fat \u2013 with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) - could raise the risk. A new study shows underweight people are a third more likely to be diagnosed with diseases such as Alzheimer's than those of a healthy weight (file photo) Study author, Professor Stuart Pocock, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said doctors and policymakers may have to re-think how to best identify those at high risk of dementia. He said 'We also need to pay attention to the causes and public health consequences of the link between underweight and increased dementia risk which our research has established.' 'However, our results also open up an intriguing new avenue in the search for protective factors for dementia - if we can understand why people with a high BMI have a reduced risk of dementia, it's possible that further down the line, researchers might be able to use these insights to develop new treatments for dementia.' Other experts said more research was needed, and the way GPs used to diagnose dementia may have skewed the results. Researchers based at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Oxon Epidemiology, also in London, analysed patient information recorded during routine general practice over nearly two decades. Data on 1,958,191 patients aged 55 on average with a BMI of 26.5 on average - just within the range usually classed as overweight - were examined. BMI is assessed by comparing height to weight, in a calculation which divides weight in kilos by height in metres squared. A healthy score is between 18.5 and 24.99 \u2013 above is overweight and obese. The study regarded BMI of less than 20 as underweight. After nine years follow-up, 45,507 people were diagnosed with dementia.

The findings contradict many previous studies which have suggested that being fat \u2013 with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) - could raise the risk (file photo) As people's BMI increased, the risk of dementia fell, with very obese people having a BMI greater than 40 less likely to develop the condition than those of normal weight.

A Jakarta court is due to decide whether the pair\u2019s lawyers can challenge Indonesian President Joko Widodo\u2019s decision to deny the two Australians clemency.

If the court upholds its earlier decision, it's not known what move the lawyers will take next in their efforts to spare the men.

He suggested large firms like the supermarket giant could move their head offices from London to other sites in Europe 'relatively painlessly', should Britain exit the EU.

But in an interview with the Independent on Sunday, Mr Allan warns this approach risks backfiring, because it commits to a referendum regardless of whether a better deal has been struck with Brussels. He suggested that a better approach would have been to lobby for reforms first, and then set a date for a referendum. He said: 'Logically, you would have started with 'these are the reforms we would like to see enacted within the EU' and then, at the end of the process, determine whether or not you've made enough progress and then decide if a referendum is necessary.' He said the idea that a referendum will be held in 2017 if a Conservative government comes to power next month could have a real impact on people's investment decisions. 'It's a question of weighing up the pluses and minuses. This issue of the EU referendum and the uncertainty that it creates and the possibility that it could lead to Britain leaving the EU is a particularly heavy kind of pebble to put in the scales,' he told the paper.

Scientists detected the complex organic molecules in a disc of gas around an infant star 455 light years away where planets are likely to be forming. The discovery is a boost for finding alien organisms and suggests the conditions that spawned life on Earth are not unique to our solar system . Radio telescope observations showed the disk surrounding the million-year-old star MWC 480 to be 'brimming' with the complex carbon-based molecule methyl cyanide. Both this molecule and its simpler organic cousin hydrogen cyanide were identified in the cold outer reaches of the newly formed disc. The region can be compared with our solar system's Kuiper Belt, a realm of icy mini-worlds and comets beyond Neptune. Experts believe comets and asteroids from the outer solar system seeded the young Earth with water and organic molecules to set the stage for life to evolve. Astronomers used the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (Alma), a powerful suit of interacting radio telescopes in Chile's Atacama desert, to investigate MWC 480.

Mrs Davis-Bowens, a substitute public school teacher in Miami who married last Valentine's Day, told Daily Mail Online on Monday that she was discriminated against because of her weight and missed out on part of the academic experience. Phylise Davis-Bowens, 42, who attended Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida, is suing her former college because she was not allowed to try out for the 14 Karat Gold dancers in 2009 . The 14 Karat Gold dancers are regular performers at sporting events related to the Florida university . The student, who had been dancing since the age of 16, had wanted to join the dance troupe to use her performance work as part of her thesis in 2009. Band director Donovan Wells told her she could try out for the team if she lost 20lb, she said. Mrs Davis-Bowens went on to lose 16lb in one month in order to try out but was still denied an audition for the dance troupe. After around a year, she had lost a total of 60lb. She told Daily Mail Online: 'I wanted to join because of my talent but the coach said I didn't have the body type. But to me, I have two arms and two legs which is what I needed.' The weight discrimination is of particular importance to Mrs Davis-Bowens because she lost her sister at the age of 37 to a gastric bypass because she was obese and felt under pressure to quickly lose weight. The 42-year-old said she also has ongoing health issues from losing weight quickly. According to their Facebook page, the 14 Karat Gold dancers are made up of college students who perform alongside the Marching Wildcats during college sporting events. In a statement to Daily Mail Online on Monday, a university spokeswoman said: 'Bethune-Cookman University was made aware today that a complaint was filed. 'We are currently investigating this matter. B-CU is an equal opportunity institution and encourage all students to be actively involved in our campus extracurricular offerings.'

+{"article": "The first farmers came to Europe 8,000 years ago and spread early agricultural practices, starting in Greece. But Northern Europeans during the Neolithic period, initially rejected the practice of farming, which was spreading throughout the rest of the continent, researchers claim. Their findings show a bump in the road in the adoption of farming, which enabled groups of people to move away from foraging and hunting as a means for survival and sparked a \u2018major economic revolution\u2019. Experts from Centre for International Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (CIRHUS) in New York City studied neolithic ornaments (pictured) to understand how farming spread. These beads are examples of personal ornaments worn by the first European farming societies . \u2018This discovery goes beyond farming,\u2019 said Solange Rigaud, the study's lead author and a researcher at the Centre for International Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (CIRHUS) in New York City. \u2018It also reveals two different cultural trajectories that took place in Europe thousands of years ago, with southern and central regions advancing in many ways and northern regions maintaining their traditions\u2019. To come to their conclusion, the researchers looked at the adoption or rejection of ornamental beads or bracelets worn by different populations in the Early Neolithic period, which stretched from 8,000 to 5,000 BC. Based on discoveries of different types of Neolithic ornaments in different parts of Europe, they concluded that Northern Europeans in the Neolithic period initially rejected the practice of farming, which was otherwise spreading throughout the continent. Examples of ornaments worn by European foraging societies are shown . Scientists recently discovered that stone-age hunter gatherers in England were trading with continental wheat farmers 8,000 years ago - long before agriculture came to Britain. Farming is thought to have arrived in Britain around 6,000 years ago so experts think that local hunter gatherers bought wheat by trading with European farmers from as far away as the south of France or the Balkans. This means that even 8,000 years ago there must have been trade routes winding their way across the European continent to Britain across an ancient land bridge. The scientists say that the discovery shows that Britain was no-where near as isolated or insular as had been originally thought. They say the findings may also force a complete rethink about how agriculture first arrived in Britain. Dr Robin Allaby, a plant geneticist at the University of Warwick who led the research, said: 'Eight thousand years ago the people of mainland Britain were leading a hunter-gatherer existence, whilst at the same time in southern Europeans farming was gradually spreading across Europe. Previous studies have shown a link between the embrace of survival methods and the adoption of particular ornaments, so by looking at the ornaments, the experts were able to understand the spread of farming practices for the first time. They examined some 200 bead-type objects found at more than 400 European sites over a 3,000-year period, tracing the adoption of ornaments linked to farming populations in order to explain the patterns of transition from foraging and hunting to", "summary": "Experts from Centre for International Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (CIRHUS) in New York City studied Neolithic ornaments .

He swam about an hour into the canal in a stunt to urge environmental clean up that ultimately succumbed to the water's pollution because the experience was like 'swimming 'in a dirty diaper'.

The activist said 'It's not safe to swim in there,' according to Gothamist. He said that the water tasted 'Like mud, poop, ground-up grass, detergent and gasoline'. The 19th-century canal was once a major transportation route, but it's now so polluted with industrial and sewer discharges that it must, by law, be cleaned up.

It warned Swain against taking the swim, posting a message on its Twitter account saying that it 'strongly advises AGAINST swimming' in the strip of water. The agency issued guidelines in 2011 saying that people should 'never swim in the canal', which runs over 1\u00bd miles through a narrow industrial zone near increasingly wealthy neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

Researchers in North Carolina claim that zapping the brain with a mild electric current can boost creativity by nearly eight per cent . As well as creativity, these oscillations - or the lack of them - are linked with depression. Flavio Frohlich, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina said: 'If we could enhance these brain activity patterns, then we could potentially help many people.' Alpha oscillations occur within the frequency range of eight and 12 Hertz 9 (or cycles per second). They were discovered in 1929 by Hans Berger, who invented EEG. Alpha oscillations happen most prominently when we close our eyes and shut out sensory stimuli \u2013 things we see, feel, taste, smell, and hear. When alpha oscillations are active, your sensory inputs might be offline as you daydream, meditate, or conjure ideas. When you come fully online, alpha oscillations disappear. Other oscillations at higher frequencies, such as gamma oscillations, take over. An EEG of a naturally occurring alpha oscillation in a human brain. Enhancing these electric oscillations may help treat people with depression, scientists claim . They tested their theory using a 10-Hertz current run through electrodes attached to the scalp on 20 volunteers to stimulate the brain's natural alpha wave oscillations. They then recorded the results using EEG . Knowing this, other researchers began associating alpha oscillations with creativity. Professor Frohlich set out to find evidence. His idea was simple. If he could enhance the rhythmic patterns of alpha oscillations to improve creativity. For the study, Professor Frohlich's team enrolled 20 healthy adults. Researchers placed electrodes on each side of each participant's frontal scalp and a third electrode toward the back of the scalp. An experimental technique used to boost brain performance with electrical pulses can actually cause people to perform less well in some tasks, scientists have found. The technology, known as transcranial direct current stimulation, is already being marketed in commercial products as a way of helping computer game players and athletes improve their focus. However, new research from the University of Oxford suggests that the benefits of this technique, which stimulates activity in the brain with an electrical current, may be limited by personality as it appears to only be helpful to people who are stressed about performing a task. They found that while electrical stimulation helped those who lacked confidence or were anxious about performing a series of sums, it caused those who did not fear mathematics to decline. A follow up study that examined how volunteers fared at spotting which way an arrow was pointing on a screen when confronted with distracting information showed that all those who received stimulation performed more poorly.

The young man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, now relies on 24-hour care. He was born at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital in September 1989, but was readmitted three months later, suffering a serious brain haemorrhage. Maternity staff at the hospital failed to administer a vitamin K injection shortly after the man was born. A 25-year-old man was left brain damaged as a baby after doctors at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital failed to administer a vitamin K injection to help the blood clot and prevent internal bleeding. He now requires 24-hour care and will do for the rest of his life. (File picture) The booster is given to newborn babies to reduce their risk of blood clots. The Secretary of State for Health admitted liability, accepting the failure to give the man vitamin K breached their duty of care. At London's High Court today, Judge Michael Yelton approved the \u00a37.3 million settlement, to be paid by the NHS Litigation Authority. It awards the man a lump sum of \u00a32,345,000, as well as annual payments of \u00a3181,000, rising to \u00a3192,000 - making a total of \u00a37,385,000. Vitamin K helps the blood to clot, and as a result can prevent excessive internal bleeding. In the UK new parents are asked if they would like their newborn to recieve the supplement. Babies are born with low levels of the vitamin, but the amount is normally enough to prevent problems. Some babies are at greater risk, and are more likely to suffer haemorrhagic disease of the newborn, also known as vitamin K deficiency bleeding. Because it can be difficult to ascertain which babies are at heightened risk, the Department of Health recommends all babies receive the supplement soon after birth. Though rare, HDN is a very serious disease. Half of all babies with HDN suffer a haemorrhage into their brain, often resulting in brain damage. Babies at higher risk of HDN include: . Source: NCT . Judge Yelton said the man should not be named because he was a 'vulnerable person'. But he said he was 'entirely satisfied' the settlement was in his best interests. He said he was 'very pleased' for the young man and his family. The brain damage the now 25-year-old suffered has resulted in significant cognitive and physical problems, including a weakness on his left hand side, and reduced hearing. He also lacks the capacity to manage his own affairs, and needs round the clock care. His family welcomed the settlement, adding it will allow for specialist support, specially adapted accommodation and 24-hour care. His solicitor Arani Yogadeva of Irwin Mitchell said: 'Vitamin K injections are offered to parents as a measure to boost their newborn baby's anti-clotting processes shortly after birth and reduce the risks of them suffering excessive bleeding caused by a deficiently in the vitamin.

Under the terms of the settlement, the state DMV is changing its policy on how male and female license applicants may dress or wear makeup in their official photos. Agency employees will also get training on how to handle transgender customers and people who don't identify with either gender. Transgender teen Chase Culpepper, 17, who was born male but identifies as female, was told by DMV officials that she had to remove make-up (left) for her license photo last year (after taking off make-up right).

The 17-year-old transgender teen won her legal battle against the state DMV to appear in her license with make-up and jewelry . Chase Culpepper, 17, who was born male but now identifies as female, regularly wears makeup and androgynous or women's clothing. After passing a driving test last year, she was told by officials at a DMV office in Anderson, about 100 miles northwest of Columbia, to remove her makeup because of a policy that bans license photos when someone is purposefully altering his or her appearance. After several attempts, Culpepper says the makeup was removed to the satisfaction of DMV employees, and a license photo was ultimately taken, a process the teen called degrading and humiliating. Culpepper and the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, a New York legal defense group, wrote to DMV officials, asking that Culpepper be allowed to take a new photo. They eventually sued the agency, calling the policy unconstitutionally vague. In a release from the defense fund, Culpepper said she was pleased with the settlement, which also includes a requirement that the DMV officially apologize to her and allow her to take a license photo with her everyday makeup. 'My clothing and makeup reflect who I am,' Culpepper said. 'From day one, all I wanted was to get a driver's license that looks like me. Now I will be able to do that.' Under the settlement, the DMV also agrees to alter its policy to allow people to wear makeup in photos regardless of their gender.

But it seems not everyone is a fan of the gardening techniques featured on Poldark - not least the mowing community who have complained about Turner's 'excessive sweating and grunting' and say it should never be done shirtless. Turner set hearts aflutter when he stripped off to manfully mow a hay field with a scythe, an ancient cutting tool used for centuries prior to horse drawn and modern mowing machinery.

But while the sexy scene helped send audience ratings through the roof, it prompted a scathing critique from a band of enthusiasts dedicated to keeping the age-old art alive.

Expert scyther Chris Riley, 56, says in real life, Turner would have run out of breath long before completing the filed - and he would have kept his shirt on to protect him from the sun.

Mr Riley, from Gillingham in Dorset, also questioned whether Turner had been shown how to use a scythe properly before the cameras rolled. 'Scything is an efficient and poetic way of cutting rather than the way it was portrayed on Poldark where it was this very aggressive, manly action. 'Using a scythe should be a sedate, pleasurable activity rather than an arduous, backbreaking chore. It can be zen-like if you\u2019ve got a sharp blade and good technique. 'That was how the programme makers wanted to portray it but it was clear to us that there wasn\u2019t much effective work being done. 'The grass and flowers in the meadow weren\u2019t flying everywhere, which you might expect if someone was good with a scythe.

The Automated Planet Finder (APF) consists of a 2.4-metre automated telescope and enclosure, and a high-resolution spectrograph. The spectrograph takes starlight from the telescope and spreads it into a rainbow of colours, splitting the light into a spectrum of thousands of different wavelengths that can be measured . The Automated Planet Finder (APF) consists of a 2.4-metre automated telescope and enclosure, and a high-resolution spectrograph. The spectrograph takes starlight from the telescope and spreads it into a rainbow of colours, splitting the light into a spectrum of thousands of different wavelengths that can be measured with great precision. Repeated measurement of a star's spectrum enables astronomers to detect the tiny wobble induced in a star by the gravitational tug of an orbiting planet. The telescope and spectrograph operate robotically every night and target a preprogrammed list of nearby stars. APF observes them every night for months, in search of rocky planets with very low masses, similar to Earth. The ultimate goal of extrasolar planet research is to find planets like Earth that may support life. 'The three planets are unlike anything in our solar system, with masses 7-8 times the mass of Earth and orbits that take them very close to their host star,' explains UC Berkeley graduate student Lauren Weiss. While the planets are likely to be too hot to support life, their discovery reveals the powerful capabilities of the Automated Planet Finder (APF) in California. 'This level of automation is a game-changer in astronomy,' said Andrew Howard, an astronomers UC Berkeley. 'It's a bit like owning a driverless car that goes planet shopping.' AFP found the star system by tracing out the planets' orbits over many years using the Doppler technique to see shifts in the star's light. The planet system was also spotted by the Keck Observatory and the Automatic Photometric Telescope (APT) at Fairborn Observatory in Arizona. But unlike other telescope, the new APF facility offers a way to speed up the planet search as it robotically searches for planets every clear night. Training computers to run the observatory all night, without human oversight, took years of effort by the University of California Observatories staff team. 'We initially used APF like a regular telescope, staying up all night searching star to star,' said University of Hawaii graduate student BJ Fulton. 'But the idea of letting a computer take the graveyard shift was more appealing after months of little sleep.'

Hedge row: Anthony Bethell and St John's College, Oxford are embroiled in a row over a stretch of scrubby bushes, with a court case likely to cost \u00a3150,000 . The bizarre dispute began when Anthony Bethell decided he would pay for work to restore the ancient 180-yard hedge, which marks the boundary between his home and the college's land . Before starting the work, Mr Bethell thought it best to consult with the college - which is one of the largest landowners in the country - on where exactly he should replant the hedge, so to avoid any costly complications further down the line. But he claims St John's has refused to agree with him on the matter and says he has been forced to take the college to court, the Sunday Telegraph reported. The hedge, which dates back to 1686, divides Mr Bethell's one-acre plot from 1,200 acres of farmland owned by the college. Mr Bethell said: 'As it stands this ancient hedge is in a poor state of repair and is an eyesore. I'm more than happy to pay for the work to restore the hedge and improve and safeguard the rural environment around me, but I need St John's to agree the boundary line \u2013 and they just won't sit down and discuss the issue face to face. They've ignored all my approaches and left me with no choice but to go to court. 'I want to do this properly.

'You never know because sometimes the effect on the players and team maybe is positive,' the Spurs boss said. 'Maybe sometimes the players are scared and run more than all season. 'Or maybe it is a very negative atmosphere and they feel under pressure and don't show their face. 'You never know in football how it can affect all the decisions around the team. For that it is difficult to guess what will happen on Sunday.' On paper, this looks a good opportunity for Spurs to make amends for the goalless draw at Burnley and home defeat to Aston Villa. Christian Benteke scored the winner for Aston Villa to leave Spurs' season in danger of fizzling out . The fact Pochettino's predecessor Tim Sherwood oversaw the latter's victory made it all the more frustrating, yet the Spurs boss was in a surprisingly upbeat mood ahead of the trip to St James' Park. 'I think that football is football and I am a person who has spent all my life in football as player, manager and head coach,' he said. 'I accept in football there are good and bad moments, but one thing important is to keep your balance and a good mood. 'We always want to win and we are ambitious, but always we need to have a very good mood. 'We need to have patience, we need to work hard, we have to have our minds on the players and we need to have very good energy to repeat some of the performances this season.' Pochettino will come up against his countryman Jonas Guiterrez following his recovery from cancer . This weekend's match against Newcastle will also see Pochettino come up against a countryman who has made many a headline of late. Former Argentina international Jonas Gutierrez's recovery following a battle with cancer and his return to top-flight football has inspired many. 'I am very happy for him,' Pochettino said. 'When he went in the game against Liverpool, he got a good ovation and it was good to see him playing football. 'This is real life. Sometimes we worry about a lot of things and results, but this is real life when you have the problems that he has.", "summary": "Tottenham travel to Newcastle for their Premier League clash on Sunday .

The kingpin of a violent drugs gang who planned to spend his money on new teeth, liposuction and a facelift has been jailed for 12 years after being caught out speaking about the illegal operation in Welsh. Father-of-four Gavin Thorman, 36, of Caernarfon, Gwynedd, operated his drug empire from HMP Altcourse in Liverpool, where he boasted in Welsh that he would make 'millions' when he got out of jail, Caernarfon Crown Court heard. Drugs worth \u00a3200,000, luxury cars, guns and even a boat were all seized by detectives when they cracked the huge crime operation which involved 26 members of the same gang. Thorman organised the supply of cocaine and cannabis from Liverpool and Manchester in one of the largest conspiracies of its kind in North Wales. The court heard he planned to spend his ill-gotten money on new teeth, liposuction, ab implants and a facelift when he got out of jail. The gang leader thought he could get away with talking to his contacts from prison in Welsh - but was unaware that police were recording and translating every conversation. He was serving a sentence in the prison for assault when he was overheard bragging about his new contacts and discussing drugs. Thorman told his girlfriend: 'I'm only doing a small sentence so they won't be listening to my calls.' Prosecutor Jayne La Grua read excerpts from a phone call between Thorman and fellow defendants Richard Broadley, 34, of Colwyn Bay, and Adam Roberts, 33, of Caernarfon, in which Thorman boasted about links to a notorious Merseyside crime baron. Thorman also bragged about plans to import cannabis from Amsterdam and ship BMWs to Jamaica. He told his then girlfriend and fellow defendant Yasmin Owen, 25, of Caernarfon: 'We're going to take over Wrexham... Wrexham's like 10 times the size of town (Caernarfon).

Thorman sent text messages which showed he maintained his position through threats of violence . Drugs worth nearly \u00a3200,000 were seized by police during a five-year painstaking investigation . The court heard Thorman planned to spend his ill-gotten money on new teeth, liposuction and a facelift . On December 5, 2013, Owen asked Thorman: 'Does anyone hear these phone calls?' He replied: 'No, as if. They're in Welsh anyway, aren't they? No one would understand anyway.' Ms La Grua said: 'He told her he planned to get new teeth in a couple of years once he's finished fighting, that top and bottom sets would cost \u00a33,000 each, that he fancied lipo and ab implants which would be about eight grand, and definitely a facelift when he's older, maybe for his 40th birthday.

Smith claims IAC chairman Barry Diller asked her in 1992: 'Do you think I should come out?' but that he 'worships' his wife Diane Von Furstenberg (above) Smith tells The Hollywood Reporter that this conversation came in the wake of David Geffen, another high profile executive, revealing he was gay in 1992. The gossip columnist claims she advised Diller, the chairman of media company IAC, against it, telling him; 'No, Barry, David Geffen needs to come out. He needs a big story or a scandal or a fight to push him in business and make people afraid of him.' She then added; 'People are already afraid of you. So what will you gain?

Joshua Burns and and his wife, Brenda Burns, say he is innocent, and that he grabbed their daughter Naomi's face when she slipped from his lap as he ended a phone call with his wife in March 2014. He claims he was trying to save her from hitting her head on a coffee table in their home.

Joshua Burns (right) was sentenced to three years' probation with the first served in Livingston County Jail for second-degree child abuse after his daughter Naomi (in his arms) suffered several injuries. He and his wife Brenda Burns (left) maintain Joshua Burns's innocence . Brenda Burns has refused to allow social workers and Michigan's Department of Human Services to see Naomi, according to the Livingston Daily.

Dr Phil asks in return. Brenda Burns claims that a Child Protective Services worker and five police officers entered their home and searched her house when the incident occurred. 'I literally thought: Do you have the right family?' she said to Dr Phil. Brenda Burns's attorney Elizabeth Warner said that the mother has the right to not be monitored by the government, and 'certainly not by the agency that takes children' because she was not held responsible for the injuries and is seen as 'the fit parent' Earlier this month, Judge Miriam Cavanaugh said the DHS's supervision of Naomi would continue but is on hold pending the", "summary": "Joshua Burns was sentenced to three years' probation with the first served in Livingston County Jail for second-degree child abuse earlier this month .

The Prime Minister and the outgoing Leader of the Commons William Hague will launch the English document, which follows traditional Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish manifestos. Its centrepiece will be a pledge to introduce a system of \u2018English votes for English laws\u2019 \u2013 giving English MPs an effective veto over legislation applying only to their constituents. Inflammatory: Prime Minister David Cameron (left) will be joined by William Hague (right) as they launch the English manifesto - with the latter expected to warn England risks being 'held to ransom' by SNP . Mr Hague is expected to warn that England risks being \u2018held to ransom\u2019 by Scottish Nationalists unless Labour agrees to implement such a reform. The manifesto is also expected to commit the Tories to dozens of new road schemes in England and an extension of the Cancer Drugs Fund, which pays for expensive cancer treatments on the English NHS. The document will be seen as an attempt by the Tories to tap into growing English nationalism. Opponents are likely to criticise it as risking fostering division between the UK\u2019s four nations. But a Tory strategist said: \u2018We have separate Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish manifestos. Why shouldn\u2019t there be one for England?\u2019 The \u2018English votes\u2019 plan would seek to resolve a longstanding constitutional question which will become more urgent than ever once the Scottish Parliament is handed yet more powers. Mr Hague wants to strip Scottish MPs of the power to impose tax changes, education and health reforms on England, given Holyrood will soon control all these issues in Scotland. The reform would make it impossible for any future Labour government to press ahead with its plans to raise the top rate of tax to 50p in England without winning the support of a majority of English MPs. Tensions: The manifesto is expected to inflame tensions between the Tories and nationalist parties like Nicola Sturgeon's SNP and Plaid Cymru, led by Leanne Wood . It could also make it difficult for a Scottish MP to again hold the office of Chancellor or Prime Minister, given they would be unable to vote on some of their own Government\u2019s legislation. For decades, Labour has relied on the votes of its power base of Scottish MPs to rule Westminster. But since the creation of the Scottish Parliament, critics have questioned how it can be right for Scots MPs to have the crucial say on issues such as tuition fees and foundation hospitals which no longer affect their constituents. Both reforms passed under Tony Blair\u2019s government thanks to the votes of Labour\u2019s tartan army of MPs. Mr Hague is expected to say that the scale of devolution now to be given to Scotland means the question of the status of Scottish MPs at Westminster is unavoidable.

Vietnamese labourer Pham Quang Lanh, 28, had a metal plate inserted over his skull after being struck by an iron bar on a building site. But the botched operation caused his head to become swollen with a potentially deadly infection. Fearing he couldn't afford any further medical treatment, Mr Lanh hoped the resulting headaches would eventually subside. It was only when he asked family to look at the wound that they noticed a dozen maggots crawling under the skin and they took him to the Hanoi's Viet Duc Hospital. Grim discovery: Vietnamese labourer Pham Quang Lanh shows the wound in his head where a maggot infestation had taken hold following a botched operation to repair an earlier head injury with a metal plate . Dr Nguyen Duc Anh, a neurosurgeon at the hospital, said: 'When his scar swelled a year ago, he did not go to hospital because of financial reasons. 'In fact, the reason that it was swollen was because it was infected and eventually some tissue had died, leaving him with the festering injury. 'When we took him into surgery, we discovered several maggots which were removed. 'We then needed to carry out a full operation to remove the maggots that had managed to go deeper.' But he said the infestation had actually saved Mr Lanh's life by eating the infected tissue. He said: 'This sort of fly infestation is extremely rare especially in the skull. 'I found eight references to it in medical literature worldwide and in every case the other patients died. 'In this man's case, however, the maggots had not gone on to eat any of his brain because of the metal plate. 'They actually may have kept him alive by eating the dead tissue that might otherwise have made the infection spread more quickly and killed him.' Lifesavers: Doctors say the maggots (above) ate diseased tissue that could have caused a fatal infection . The use of maggots to cleanse wounds is well known as they can remove necrotic tissue and also disinfect the wound. Mr Lanh suffered his initial head injury while working as a labourer in Malaysia. After surgery to insert a titanium plate, the wound appeared to heal well, although he did suffer headaches occasionally. He said: 'It was mostly OK until a year ago when I noticed it was swollen and sore to touch.

Now genetic research has revealed that ancient European populations were dark skinned for far longer than had originally been thought. Rather than lightening as early humans migrated north from Africa around 40,000 years ago due to lower levels of sunlight, these first Homo sapiens retained their dark skin colour. Scroll down for video . This graphic above shows the influx of genes to Europe that brought lighter skin colour and taller body shapes, according to the new research on ancient human remains conducted by geneticists at Harvard University . Genetic analysis has shown that hunter gatherers living in Spain up to 8,500 years ago still had dark skin. It was not until 7,800 years ago, when the first farmers migrated from the Near East through Turkey that two key genes that provide lighter skin appeared. DNA analysis obtained from ancient human remains has shown that as these farmers bred with the dark skinned hunter gatherers, one of these genes became prevalent in the European population and European's skin colour began to lighten. Around 5,800 years ago the second gene, which makes skin colour lighter still, also began to spread though the European population. The first Europeans looked dramatically different to most of the fair skinned people that live there today. New research suggests Caucasians were a recent addition to the area, arriving on the continent 8,000 years ago . Europeans had dark skin for far longer than previously though. Photographed are two participants in the BBC's Trading Races where members of the British public spent several days dressed with a different skin colour . The research, which was presented at the 84th annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, shows that populations in Europe were still evolving until relatively recently. It also shows that a population of hunter gatherers living on the site of Motala, southern Sweden, had already developed both skin-lightening genes around 7,700 years ago together with a third that gave them blue eyes. Dr Iain Mathieson, a geneticist at Harvard University in Massachusetts who led the work, said: 'Ancient DNA makes it possible to examine populations as they were before, during and after adaptation events, and thus to reveal the tempo and mode of selection. A study of ancient human bones has revealed how Early Europeans had difficulties digesting milk around 5,000 years after the introduction of farming. It took at least that long for their genes to evolve until they were no longer intolerant to lactose, the natural sugar in mammalian milk, scientists suggests. Researchers looked at ancient DNA extracted from 13 individuals buried at archaeological sites in the Great Hungarian Plain - a region known to have been at the crossroads of cultural change in European prehistory. the samples were dated from 5,700 BC to 800 BC, ranging across the Stone, Copper, Bronze and Iron Ages.

'Would you feel that you had given of your best if you had been forced to give evidence in unfamiliar surroundings, with lots of strangers watching, in an intimidating court, with lawyers in funny clothes asking questions, often aggressively and trying to catch you out, and with no ability to tell the story as you remember it?' Dawson was later sentenced to six months in prison at Blackfriars Crown Court (pictured) He said this did not mean a call for a major overhaul of court proceedings but said judges, lawyers and court staff must do as much as possible to help people feel at ease in court. He continued: 'Judges have to show, and have to be seen to show, respect to everybody equally, and that requires an understanding of different cultural and social habits. 'It is necessary to have some understanding as to how people from different cultural, social, religious or other backgrounds think and behave and how they expect others to behave.

Amjad Yaaqub, 16, said he stumbled on the barbaric scene shortly after the terrorists beat him unconscious when they burst into his family home at the camp in the Syrian capital Damascus. The schoolboy said the ISIS fighters were looking for his brother, who is a member of the Palestinian rebel group who ran and defended the camp for several years before ISIS carried out a bloody assault that has left more than 200 people dead in just seven days. His story was revealed as refugees in Yarmouk spoke of the daily atrocities they have witnessed since ISIS seized control of 90 per cent of the camp, including innocent children being slaughtered in front of their anguished parents.

After enduring two years of famine and fighting, Ibrahim Abdel Fatah said he saw heads cut off by ISIS in the Palestinian camp of Yarmouk. That was it. He fled and hasn't looked back. Unshaven, pale and gaunt, he has found refuge with his wife and seven children at the Zeinab al-Haliyeh school in Tadamun, a southeastern district of the Syrian capital held by the army. 'I saw severed heads. They killed children in front of their parents. We were terrorised,' he said. 'We had heard of their cruelty from the television, but when we saw it ourselves... I can tell you, their reputation is well-deserved,' the 55-year-old said. The school is currently home to 98 displaced people, among them 40 children, who have been put up in three classrooms. The usual occupants, schoolchildren, have been evacuated temporarily from rooms where mattresses and bedding now blanket the floor. 'I left my house which was the only thing I had. My family lived on rations supplied by UNRWA,' the United Nations agency that looks after Palestinian refugees, the former caretaker said.

Before the assault, there were around 18,000 people in Yarmouk in a southern neighbourhood of the Syrian capital.

It was his second appearance for Peter Beardsley's side since recovering from surgery to repair a collapsed lung and while he admits he is still short of match fitness, he is in contention for a seat on the bench at St James' Park on Saturday if head coach John Carver requires him.

Mayall, who played scheming Tory MP Alan B\u2019Stard in ITV series The New Statesman, and a host of other comedy characters, died suddenly aged 56 last June. But probate records reveal he had no will \u2013 even though he suffered serious head injuries and nearly died in a quad-bike accident in 1998 \u2013 which could mean complications for his wife of 29 years, Barbara, and their three adult children. Scroll down for video . Legacy: Rik Mayall is pictured in 1999 with his wife Barbara and their children after his quad bike accident . His estate could be liable for tax of tens of thousands of pounds which would not have been payable if he had left everything to his wife. Lawyers have always advised that people should have a valid will to avoid tax pitfalls. Mayall, one of the leading \u2018alternative\u2019 comics of the 1980s, surprised doctors by making a good recovery after his accident and returned to work in 1999, but he developed epilepsy and took daily medication. Rik Mayall (pictured) died suddenly aged 56 last June . His personal estate would be divided according to Government intestacy rules, which take into account marital status, children or surviving relatives. Andrew Kidd, a specialist probate solicitor and partner in London law firm Clintons, said that Mayall\u2019s children would be automatically entitled to a share of his net estate of \u00a31,192,701 after funeral and legal expenses, meaning they could inherit an amount liable for inheritance tax. But Mr Kidd said the amount of any tax payable would depend on the value of Mayall\u2019s chattels or personal belongings which would go to his wife under intestacy rules. Mr Kidd said that the rules for a married father like Mayall meant his wife would be due to receive \u00a3250,000 plus all his \u2018chattels\u2019, which would include any personally owned cars, furniture, ornaments, books and jewellery. By law, Mayall\u2019s children would then automatically get half the remaining value of the estate, creating a potential tax bill if the amount is more than the inheritance tax limit of \u00a3325,000. Mayall\u2019s widow would have received a life interest in the remaining half \u2013 meaning she could not touch or transfer that money but could claim interest on it.

The utility says the meter was disconnected for safety reasons on March 25. Rodney Todd and his two sons and five daughters then used a generator for power. They were last seen alive on March 28.

Princess Anne Police Chief Scott Keller said earlier today the Delmarva Power company has been subpoenaed to document exactly when it shut off power to the rental home. Maryland law bars utilities from terminating electric service for nonpayment of bills from November 1 through March 31 without an affidavit filed to the Public Service Commission. 'I'm just numb. I'm just numb. Like it's a nightmare but it's not,' the children's mother, Tyisha Luneice Chambers, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. 'If I had known he was without electricity, I would have helped.' Court records identified the boys as Cameron and ZhiHeem, and the girls as Tyjuziana, Tykeria, Tynijuzia, TyNiah and Tybreyia.

'The children were all in beds and it appears as though they were sleeping,' Keller said. 'They didn't have electricity. Probably it was bedtime and they decided they needed some light and probably some heat, because toward the end of March even though it was spring we were having some pretty chilly nights.' Why Todd ran the gas-powered generator inside his kitchen wasn't clear. The chief speculated that the noise would have bothered neighbors, had it been outside. Todd got some welfare money, but it wasn't enough, said Sarah Hardy, his close friend. 'How can a man survive off of basically minimum wage with seven kids, and you can't help him with a utility bill?' Hardy asked. 'This man was working. And Delmarva Power cuts the lights off?'

A diamond fraudster who jetted around the world buying designer shoes and bags using the cash she swindled from her victims is facing jail. Anna Foord, of Elstree, Hertfordshire, convinced investors to buy low grade gems overvalued by up to 2,000 per cent, a court heard. The 30-year-old even flew to New York to shop in Fifth Avenue's most exclusive boutiques using the money she made. She was part of a gang of fraudsters who lived lavish lifestyles by selling investors coloured diamonds in the \u00a31.5m 'boiler room' scam. But they were arrested and Foord was convicted of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering today while other members of the gang admitted similar charges. Foord was clutching a \u00a31,000 Louis Vuitton bag when police arrested her while it was later revealed how she had her collection of expensive Jimmy Choo shoes destroyed in an attempt to conceal the fraud. The court heard how smooth-talking salesmen convinced clients the diamonds were a better investment prospect than gold and would pay handsome returns. But in reality, the diamonds were 'what the miners leave on the floor' and the gang were using their victims as 'cash cows', the court heard. Prosecutor Esther Schutzer-Weissman told how diamond investors lost in excess of \u00a31.5m. 'The caller was persuasive, the caller was persistent and always suggesting to the investor that purchasing coloured diamonds was an investment that would get good and reliable returns,' she said. 'They were told often that diamonds would be scarcer and rarer and therefore more valuable because a mine, or mines, were closing or had closed. 'They were told this was a limited time opportunity and they were told that the investment was guaranteed to provide a good return, depending of course on how long the diamond was kept before selling on. 'Calls would be followed by letters that provided more concrete information about the investment prospect of the stones.' Shopping sprees of \u00a36,135, \u00a31,240 and \u00a31,726 took place at Selfridges and Harrods in London and Bloomingdales in New York, the court heard.

GPs are in revolt over Government plans for them to offer patients appointments seven days a week. Almost all family doctors polled in a new survey said they do not think their own practice should open on weekends. And nearly two-thirds are not even willing to consider forming groups with other surgeries to ensure that at least one in the area is open to patients on Saturdays and Sundays. The Government has tried to encourage GPs to offer out-of-hours appointments through a scheme known as the Prime Minister\u2019s Challenge Fund, launched in 2013. Surgeries have been urged to form into groups of 20 to 30 to ensure that between them at least one stays open in the evenings and at weekends. The results of early trials published last month showed that among 34 practices taking part in the scheme in Central London, the number of patients going to A&E dropped by between 8 and 10 per cent. But a survey of 15,560 GPs by their union, the British Medical Association, found 63 per cent were opposed to forming networks with other surgeries to open seven days a week. Some 94 per cent were against their own practice opening every day. Just 2 per cent were in favour, while the remainder didn\u2019t know. The survey also found that 67 per cent want to make the standard ten minute appointment longer to give them more time to properly care for patients. And 93 per cent said their heavy workload has negatively affected patient care.

UEFA\u2019s settlement with City published in May stated those penalties would remain in place until the end of the 2015/16 season but the club\u2019s latest financial figures showed drastically-reduced losses of \u00a323million which they feel proves they are now compliant with FPP regulations. Manuel Pellegrini is hoping that the financial restrictions imposed by UEFA for a breach of FFP rules will be lifted at the end of this season . Manchester City have been limited to a net spend of \u00a349million in the last two transfer windows - they spent \u00a325m bringing Wilfried Bony in from Swansea in January .

Uefa also ordered City to play with a reduced squad from 25 players to 21 in the Champions League this season and while that restriction has now ended, any time reduction in the penalties on spending and wages is more controversial. Arsenal have paid more in transfer fees than City in the last 12 months, including \u00a330m on Alexis Sanchez .

The England forward has been nominated for both PFA Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year. England call-up hurt the form of Harry Kane, according to his Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino . Pochettino believes that midfielder Ryan Mason has also been affected by the call-up . Mason has been one of the best young midfielders in England this season and has burst on to the international scene in his first full season in the top flight. But since being called into Roy Hodgson\u2019s squad for the first time for the games against Lithuania and Italy, the duo have been well below their best as Spurs slumped to a goalless draw against Burnley and a shock 1-0 home defeat against Aston Villa last weekend. Pochettino said: \u2018When players get their first call-up, they try to show they are good enough and try to impress the national manager, and because they are over-motivated they expend a lot of energy. \u2018When you come back to the team, the consequence is that for two or three weeks you are a little bit down. It is normal and this happened at Southampton too. \u2018I remember that we were third in the table and we went to play against Arsenal in November. If we won, with three points we\u2019d have been first in the table. The performance wasn\u2019t good. Why? Because we\u2019d spent a lot of energy and it was difficult to keep our focus on the normal life. Pochettino hopes the pair can improve their standard of recent performances against Newcastle . Kane scored on his England debut after coming on as a substitute against Lithuania at Wembley last month . \u2018I remember my first call-up for Argentina against Holland. I was up on a cloud for a month after it because it was unbelievable to play for the national team. When I got back to Espanyol it was difficult.

The Ohio Court of Claims on Friday granted the money to Wiley Bridgeman, 60, and Kwame Ajamu, 57, and the brothers' attorneys said compensation for lost wages has yet to be determined and awarded.

Wiley Bridgeman, 60 (left) and Kwame Ajamu, 57 (right) were awarded a collective $1.6million from an Ohio court on Friday after spending decades in prison for wrongful murder convictions (file photo, Nov. 2014) The brothers served a collective 66 years in prison for the murder of Cleveland businessman Harry Franks in 1975.

Last year, the three men were exonerated after the case against them fell apart when the prosecution's key witness Edward Vernon \u2014 a 12-year-old boy at the time of the killing\u2014 recanted his testimony as an adult and said he never witnessed the crime. Jackson, 58, was awarded more than $1million in compensation in March. Terry Gilbert and David Mills, attorneys for Bridgeman and Ajamu, said Friday the amount in lost wages will be determined through negotiations. Mills said Ohio law allows wrongfully imprisoned individuals to be paid about $51,000 for each year of incarceration. The $1.6 million includes calculated damages amounting to about $969,000 for Bridgeman and $647,000 for Ajamu, according to the court. Previous inmates exonerated after periods in prison have received up to $1million for each year spent incarcerated. An Illinois man who spent nearly 20 years in jail after being wrongly imprisoned for rape and murder received a $20million settlement in March, setting a new national record. Gilbert said no amount of money could really compensate the two men for the time that was taken from them.

The bash-the-rich candidate flew first class from Boston to Washington, D.C. after wrapping up a two-day New Hampshire campaign trip. Daily Mail Online was on the flight. 'Mrs. Clinton, when are you going to start talking to the press about Benghazi?' Daily Mail Online asked her in the Washington Reagan National Airport terminal. 'Did you make mistakes?' The usually garrulous and broad-smiling Clinton stared straight ahead, continued walking alongside her Secret Service and local police escorts, and said nothing. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . NO COMMENT: Hillary stared ahead and walked wordlessly Tuesday, refusing to acknowledge her first campaign-trail question about the deadly Benghazi terror attacks in 2012 . DEADLY: The September 11, 2012 Benghazi terror attacks killed four Americans including the US ambassador to Libya .

'You know, I don't make the travel arrangements. I don't,' Clinton said. The Islamist terror group Ansar al-Shariah's military-style Benghazi attacks will likely be a thorn in Clinton's side throughout the 2016 presidential campaign season. The group laid waste to a State Department facility while she was America's top diplomat. A special congressional committee chaired by South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, a former criminal prosecutor, has a mandate to investigate the episode through January 2017, making it unlikely that Clinton will be able to put the issue behind her. TROUBLE AHEAD: New Hampshire resident Brian Blackden included 'Benghazi blood' Tuesday on a sign listing reasons 'Hillary is a liar,' near the site of a Clinton appearance at the New Hampshire Technical Institute . On Sunday during a series of 50 brief interviews with Dartmouth College students in Hanover, New Hampshire, 22 of them made references to Bengahzi when asked about Clinton's chances of becoming president. Many of them, like freshman Cameron Poole, weren't old enough to drive when it happened. 'I think there was blood on her hands,' Poole told Daily Mail Online.

For the umpteenth time, the RFU and Stuart Lancaster are being urged to invoke the \u2018exceptional circumstances\u2019 get-out clause.

No, this isn\u2019t a scene from Star Trek - it\u2019s an event that took place in Earth\u2019s orbit just the other day. And to celebrate the arrival of the cargo-carrying Dragon spacecraft, one astronaut on the ISS donned a uniform from the popular TV show. Scroll down for video . Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti wore the uniform on Friday (shown). Together with Nasa astronaut Terry Virts she captured the spacecraft. On board it had 4,000lbs of supplies - including a coffee machine. It will remain at the ISS for a month before returning to Earth .

Construction of the ISS began on 20 November 1998. It supports a crew of up to six, with crews split into groups of three. The station orbits at a height of about 255 miles (410km). It has a total mass of about 990,000 pounds (450,000kg) and has living space roughly equivalent to a five-bedroom house. It completes an orbit of Earth every 92.91 minutes and moves at 17,100 miles (27,600km) per hour. It has now been in space for more than 5,900 days, during which time it has completed more than 92,000 orbits of Earth, and has been continuously occupied for more than 13 years. The \u2018Dragon\u2019 she was referring to was SpaceX\u2019s vehicle, which launched from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday 14 April, arriving at the station on 17 April. Here it was \u2018berthed\u2019 to the ISS - which means it was grabbed by an arm on the station, and did not dock by itself. The capture occured while the ISS was over the Pacific Ocean, just east of Japan. With the assistance of Expedition 43 Commander Terry Virts of Nasa, Cristoforetti successfully captured the spacecraft at 9.15am last Friday. Spacecraft like Dragon are used to keep the ISS stocked with supplies, but this mission carried with it a treat for the astronauts - a coffee machine called the ISSPresso. Italian coffee giant Lavazza joined forces with the Turin-based engineering company Argotec and the Italian Space Agency to provide a specially designed machine for use off the planet. Nasa certified its safety. It is the first coffee machine able to work in micro gravity on the ISS, where the principles that regulate the fluid dynamics of liquids and mixtures are very different from those typical on Earth. It uses a 'capsule system' to fill plastic pouches with espresso and other hot drinks such as tea. The machine can also be used to rehydrate food.

Expectant mums really do bloom - for being pregnant has a 'rejuvenating effect' on women, according to new scientific research. And for older women it could help them feel young again, almost literally, as pregnancy helps regenerate tissue and slow down the ageing process, it added. Appearing to bloom is not just a cosmetic side effect of carrying a child, said medical experts for the journal Fertility and Sterility but an actual physical process. Researchers studied the effects of liver transplants on pregnant and non-pregnant mice using a high-tech MRI scanner at the Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem. It found in young, non-pregnant mice, 82 per cent of the liver had regenerated after two days and in older, non-pregnant mice, only 46 per cent had regenerated in that time. But in older, pregnant mice around 96 per cent had regenerated after two days, better than the non-pregnant rodents both young and old, they reported. They also found that pregnancy protected the rodents from tissue damage around the heart, which is also an irreversible part of the human ageing process, said the study. Pregnancy is a unique condition for the human body, said the researchers, and as a result it has to cope with two people's systems at the same time. For the older of the two bodies, it is as if it has been injected with a youth serum from the baby it is carrying, hence the rejuvenating process affecting the mother, it suggests. The report added: 'As we age, it is more difficult for our tissue to regenerate itself. 'Because pregnancy is a unique biological model of a partially shared blood system, we have speculated that pregnancy would have a rejuvenating effect on the mother.' Tal Falick Michaeli, Rubin Chair in Medical Science at Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, who led the review, has also done research that suggests that pregnancy can restore the mother's muscles' ability to regenerate. The research found, in the mice used to test their hypothesis, that the positive effect of pregnancy was 'transient' and lasted for about two months after delivery. Serum: Say tests carried out on pregnant mice suggested they 'got youth serum injection' from babies . Previous research has also found that old mice given a transfusion of younger mice's blood performed better in a memory task than those that aged naturally. A study by Stanford University found that changes in the make-up of people's blood as they age may damage connections in the brain and so cause memory deterioration and the decline of other brain functions. This could be tackled by filtering more youthful blood into the older body, which would rejuvenate old tissue and keep nerve cells in better working order, according to the research.", "summary": "Researchers in Jerusalem found pregnancy helps regenerate tissue .

Wheelchair-bound Christopher Starrs, 50, was allowed to go free from court with just a suspended jail sentence in January after admitting his part in a two-and-a-half year con against his employer BT. Starrs, along with fellow BT Openreach manager Phillip Tamplin, invented clamped cars, overtime hours and damage to home owners\u2019 property during broadband installation, and paid off engineers to help them make the fake claims. Blasted: Judge Nicholas Cooke QC (left) blasted his junior colleague Recorder Stuart Trimmer QC (right) for 'taking his eye off the ball' when he sentenced Christopher Starrs in January this year . Both Starrs and Tamplin, 53, who made \u00a3124,000 from the con, admitted submitting the string of bogus expenses. Tamplin was jailed for two years at January's sentencing hearing, but Mr Recorder Stuart Trimmer QC spared Starrs jail as an \u2018act of mercy\u2019 - although he ordered him to repay the money he took and pay a \u00a31,500 fine. However, senior Judge Nicholas Cooke QC has now said the sentence was \u2018unlawful\u2019 - and added Starrs should have been sent to prison for his crimes. \u2018It was an unlawful sentence passed and now I need to do something to put it right, because it was negligence on the parties involved in the matter,\u2019 he said. \u2018He was mercifully dealt with, sadly by a judge who didn\u2019t have his eye on the ball.\u2019 The judge told Mark Haslam, defending: \u2018The sentence was wrong but that\u2019s a matter of personal opinion. \u2018Your client was fortunate to not go straight to prison. \u2018What the Recorder did was to impose a package of sentencing options that wasn\u2019t available to him. \u2018No one appears to have noticed that the sentencing imposed on Mr Starrs was unlawful. \u2018I am sorry to be the headmaster but we really don\u2019t want this sort of thing.\u2019 Fraud: Wheelchair-bound Starrs, 50, was a manager with BT who admitted defrauding the company of \u00a328,000 over two years . The Recorder, who is the head of 4 Bream Buildings chambers and took the Silk in 2006, gave Starrs a 16-month jail sentence suspended for two years and ordered to pay a fine, and allowed the confiscation proceeds to continue. But Judge Cooke said it was not possible to imposed a financial penalty at the same time as postponing a confiscation order. Turning his fire on the barristers who were at the sentencing hearing, he added: \u2018This is supposed to be a centre of excellence, when you expect the representatives to point out what we can and can\u2019t do. \u2018The judge should have been told what his powers were.\u2019 Prosecutor John Ojakovoh said Starrs offered a \u2018blank cheque\u2019 at sentencing and has already paid back the \u00a328,000 he stole. After the judge heard the CPS will now drop the confiscation proceedings, he said the original sentence will stand, quipping: \u2018He no doubt thanks his lucky", "summary": "Christopher Starrs was spared jail in an 'act of mercy' by judge in January .

The woman picked up the 20-year-old Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, whose face and neck are covered in dark, self-administered tattoos, some with neo-Nazi symbolism. The woman didn't know he was armed with a knife and had almost $500, the report by Volusia County Beach Safety officers said. Scroll down for video . Would you slow down for this man? Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, 20, managed to hitch a ride from a woman to Florida after his motorbike broke down, police said on Wednesday. Among his self-administered tattoos are the word 'brotherhood' on his neck and the number '88' on his left cheek which is linked to neo-Nazis . Stancil pictured with his mother Debbie at his graduation. She said he is 'rattled and confused and needs mental help'. The mother also claimed that the victim had made sexually laced comments to her son . The driver was headed to Key West, Florida, but dropped Stancil off in Daytona Beach, where he was found sleeping on the beach on Tuesday morning. When officers approached him, he pulled the knife but dropped it when an officer drew his gun. He was arrested without incident, the police report said. Stancil is awaiting extradition back to North Carolina, where he is accused of fatally shooting 44-year-old Ron Lane, a print shop director at Wayne Community College. On Tuesday, he appeared relaxed in the courtroom and, despite the judge advising him he had the right to remain silent, he admitted to the killing, WRAL reported. He confessed to the shooting in an obscenity-laced statement, saying he 'ridded one last child molester from the Earth', according to the station. He said Lane, who had been his supervisor at the college's print shop until Stancil was fired last month, had been 'messing with' one of Stancil's family members. Lane was gay, and authorities said they are investigating a possible hate crime. They haven't released a motive for the shooting, but Stancil was dismissed from a work study program at the print shop last month. An extradition hearing was scheduled for Wednesday to send him back to North Carolina to face a charge of open murder. The police report said Stancil voluntarily gave police a statement, which authorities did not release. During his first court appearance on Tuesday in Daytona Beach, Florida, Stancil indicated he killed Lane because his former supervisor molested a relative. Nothing in police records substantiated the allegations. The suspect's mother, Debbie Stancil, said she knows the relative was not sexually abused by Lane, as Kenneth Stancil claimed in court, because the relative and Lane had never met.

It takes a range of types to make a successful team and you could not get more contrasting personalities than Sir Ian and the quiet lad from Burnley who broke his English Test wicket-taking record on Friday night. When I played for England we had Alec Stewart, meticulous and well organised, opening the batting with that scruffy herbert Mike Atherton. Jimmy Anderson celebrates taking a record 384th Test wicket for England against the West Indies on Friday .

Then we had Andrew Caddick, who needed reassurance and an arm round the shoulder, opening the bowling with a character in Darren Gough who loved the limelight and wanted to be the centre of attention.

The only smidgeon of self-doubt came when admitting he perhaps shouldn\u2019t have taken on the West Indies so often with the hook. That absolute belief that he is right about everything was what made Botham the cricketer he was.

They want the UK to follow the lead of countries such as Finland which has 15 minute play time after lessons .

A resolution due to be put forward at the conference says: 'Primary schools are now being driven more and more towards a test and accountability culture which in turn makes them drive children of primary age to be educated in a formal way.' It goes on to suggest learning through play is known to help youngsters develop vital communication and social skills and that 'over-formalisation of learning can cause disaffection with school'. The motion calls on the NUT to support play in the curriculum at Key Stage 1 (five to seven-year-olds) 'to reflect the needs of the children'. Speaking ahead of the conference, NUT general secretary Christine Blower said many children are not ready for the 'formal sitting down' and 'come on let's do some work stage'' before they are seven.

The resignation marks another blow for the hugely-popular show, which has been marred by uncertainty since Clarkson was axed last month following a 'fracas' with a producer.

Prices have fallen by the largest amount in almost a decade as supermarkets continue to slash the cost of milk, vegetables and meat as they compete with each other and with emerging budget chains for customers. And on the high street clothes and footwear have become even more affordable - with prices dropping by around 7.8 per cent in the last 12 months - as the low cost of oil makes transporting and selling goods even cheaper. Consumers are taking to the shops as they cash in on the falling prices of supermarket staples and clothes . Milk, bread, eggs, cheese and roasting chickens have seen the biggest fall in price at the supermarket checkout as the large chains have been forced to reduce their prices to compete with the rise of budget stores Aldi and Lidl. According to the British Retail Consortium-Nielsen price index, goods in shops cost 2.1 per cent lower this March than the same time last year, the Guardian reported. This is the biggest fall in prices in a single year since records began nine years ago, in 2006. It is also a larger drop than the 1.7 per cent recorded the month before. Fresh food prices have dropped by around 0.9 per cent in a year, while the figure for electrical items was even greater, falling 5.7 per cent in the last 12 months. And the falling costs for consumers, which have been taking place for the last 23 months, show no sign of stopping. Mike Watkins, head of retailer and business insight at data firm Nielsen told the Financial Times: 'Prices continue to fall across the retail industry and deflation is likely to be with us for the near future, which means shoppers are going to be able to stretch their budgets further when shopping in store or online.' Cheese and milk have seen some of the biggest fall in prices - of around 0.9 per cent in the last 12 months . The price of fresh foods such as eggs and lettuce fell by more in March, than the 0.4 per cent in February . The cost of electricals, such as toasters and kettles, have dropped by 5.7 per cent in the last 12 months . Cheaper prices and inflation reaching zero in February have led to a boost on the high street as people have more cash to spend, and are finding their money goes even further. Analysts predict inflation could have fallen to a negative in March. Falling prices of oil have also led to cheaper fuel for consumers in the petrol price wars. Fuel was reduced to 99p per litre in January this year - the first time prices had reached such a low in five years. Milk, eggs, cheese, vegetables and meat have fallen by 0.9 per cent.

Engineers believe the super absorbent properties of tampons could be used to detect pipes that shunt sewage into streams instead of treatment plants. They found that the cotton products absorb chemicals commonly used on toilet paper, laundry detergents and shampoos, which glow under UV light, meaning that they could shed light on previously undetectable misplumbed pathways. Engineers believe the super absorbent properties of tampons could be used to detect pipes that shunt sewage into streams instead of treatment plants. Here, a discharge pipe dumps raw sewage into a river . It\u2019s estimated that around five per cent of homes in the UK have pipes that are misconnected, causing them to leak sewage. Professor David Lerner, who led the study at the University of Sheffield's Faculty of Engineering, explained: \u2018More than a million homes have their waste water incorrectly connected into the surface water network, which means their sewage is being discharged into a river, rather than going to a treatment plant. \u2018Unfortunately, it's very difficult to detect where this is happening, as the discharge is intermittent, can't always be seen with the naked eye and existing tests are complex and expensive\u2019 But now his team have shown that tampons can glow in ultra-violet (UV) light, because they absorb chemicals found in products containing \u2018optical brighteners\u2019 which are used to whiten and brighten colours. Experts think tampons (pictured left) could be a cheap solution to detecting pollutants in rivers. On the right, Professor Lerner tests for sewage pollution in a stream in Sheffield, UK, using a conductivity and temperature meter - a more expensive but less effective method than using tampons and UV lighting . Tampons absorb chemicals commonly used on toilet paper, laundry detergents (pictured with a stock image) and shampoos, which glow under UV light, meaning that they could shed light on previously undetectable mis-plumbed pathways . Engineers have shown that tampons can glow in ultra-violet (UV) light, because they absorb chemicals found in products containing \u2018optical brighteners\u2019 which are used to whiten and brighten colours. Optical brighteners are found in toilet paper, laundry detergents and shampoos. Lab trials determined that just five seconds exposure in a solution containing 0.01ml of detergent per litre of water - over 300 times more dilute than would be expected in a surface water pipe \u2013 enabled a tampon to glow for 30 days. Therefore, if a tampon is dunked in a river and glows under UV afterwards, experts can be sure there are pollutants in it. By using this technique at the opening of different pipes, they can trace the source of the sewage to certain households so that pipes dumping sewage into rivers can be redirected. When tampons are suspended in water contaminated by even very small amounts of detergents or sewage, they will pick up these \u2018optical brighteners\u2019 and glow. \u2018The main difficulty with detecting sewage pollution by searching for optical brighteners is finding cotton that does not already contain these chemicals,\u2019 Professor", "summary": "Engineers at the University of Sheffield made the discovery .

Bosses at a hospital where a male nurse sexually assaulted patients were warned of his predatory behaviour five years before he was convicted of 23 different offences against patients. Andrew Hutchinson raped two patients while they were under general anaesthetic and assaulted others at John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford where he worked in the A&E department between 2011 and 2013. The 29-year-old was convicted of 23 separate charges last month including making indecent images of children, outraging public decency and voyeurism. He was taken into custody at Oxford Crown Court and is due to be sentenced next week. It has since emerged that an earlier complaint about the nurse was made to bosses at Oxford University Hospitals Trust. In 2009 a student nurse reported Hutchinson as having taken inappropriate photographs at the hospital. But the hospital didn't report it to police as they said there was not sufficient evidence to suggest whether there was grounds for a complaint.

The report, by Tel Aviv University's Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry, said 766 violent anti-Semitic acts were carried out around the world last year - marking a huge increase from the previous year. Arson, vandalism and direct threats against Jews, synagogues and other Jewish institutions were included in the figure, making 2014 the worst year for such attacks since 2009. The study said: 'The overall feeling among many Jewish people is one of living in an intensifying anti-Jewish environment that has become not only insulting and threatening, but outright dangerous. In particular, it cited 'alarming reports especially from Western Europe and North America'. Anger in Western Europe over Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip last July and August, as well as anti-Jewish caricatures in the media and social networks had helped to turn anti-Semitism into an 'almost daily phenomena seen and felt in every sphere of life', the report said. In France, the number of anti-Semitic attacks rose to 164 in 2014 compared with 141 in 2013. In January this year, four hostages were killed in a Paris kosher supermarket in violence that began when Islamist militants carried out a massacre in the office of the Charlie Hebdo satirical weekly. Britain registered 141 violent incidents against Jews in 2014, after 95 a year earlier. In one of the most serious attacks a victim was called a 'Jewish c***' and then hit with a glass and a baseball bat in London. In Manchester, a man was knocked off his bike and kicked while on the ground by a group of youths who called him a 'Jew'. In January this year, four hostages were killed in a Paris kosher supermarket in an anti-Semitic attack . The violence began when Islamist militants carried out a massacre in the office of Charlie Hebdo magazine . And a Jewish girl had deodorant sprayed in her face by a 12-year-old fellow pupil who said to her 'gas the Jews' at a school in Edinburgh. The number of anti-Semitic acts in Germany and Italy more than doubled, to 76 and 23 respectively. In Western Europe in particular, the study said, 'the issue is not only a matter of having more security means provided by the respective states, but rather the ability to lead a full Jewish life... especially under heavy police and even army protection'. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stoked controversy in February when he called for 'mass immigration' of European Jews to Israel following a deadly shooting at a synagogue in Denmark. Under Israel's Law of Return, anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent has a right of immigration to Israel and, once there, can receive Israeli citizenship automatically.", "summary": "Anti-Semitic attacks worldwide have surged by 38 per cent, study reveals .

It has been almost four years since her last album but that has not stopped Adele from earning \u00a35million over the last year. Bringing her fortune to a total of \u00a350million, the singer has retained her place at the top of the list of Britain\u2019s richest musicians under the age of 30. The mother-of-one, 26, has double the wealth of her closest rivals \u2013 the four members of One Direction and their former compatriot Zayn Malik, 22 - who are worth \u00a325million each.

State authorities were suspicious that the 88-year-old author, who is reportedly deaf and blind, was somehow pushed into publishing the forthcoming Go Set a Watchman, and launched two investigations into the circumstances surrounding the launch.

Of sound mind: Investigators concluded that Harper Lee, pictured above in 2009, is in a fit state to make decisions about the future of the forthcoming novel Go Set a Watchman . Officials at the state's Department of Human Resources confirmed Monday that their investigation had been completely closed. Earlier Alabama's Securities Commission had sent an investigator to speak with her, and said that she answered their questions well enough to convince them she made her own decision, and knew what was happening with her book. The DHR investigation remained open for a time, but spokesman Barry Spear has confirmed that they are now also satisfied that nothing is amiss. Earlier suspicions had in part been fired by the fact that Lee's attorneys had announced the release, due in July, and that publishing house HarperCollins had not had any direct contact with her.

The book is high on Amazon's best-seller list despite some concerns about the novel, which Lee wrote before To Kill A Mockingbird. Lee had long expressed that she's happy to have 1960's Mockingbird' - which won a Pulitzer, was adapted into a movie and sold more than 40 million copies worldwide - as her only published book.

Andrew Silicani, 23, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, pleaded guilty on Monday to trying \u2014 from behind bars \u2014 to hire a hit man to kill his mother and stepfather so he could inherit their house . Silicani pleaded guilty to all charges against him with no agreement from prosecutors to recommend a lesser sentence. Defense lawyer James Barrett told Freudenthal that Silicani had rejected a plea offer from federal prosecutors that would have capped his prison time at 35 years and blocked the possibility that state prosecutors will seek to charge him with separate violations of state law. Speaking after the hearing, Barrett said he thinks it's likely that Silicani will face additional state prosecution. Barrett said Silicani's decision to reject the federal plea offer reflected Silicani's view that a 35-year federal sentence would be excessive. Recounting his actions to support his guilty pleas, Silicani told Freudenthal, 'I used the mail, wrote four letters asking for this to be done \u2014 for the murders of my mom and stepdad.

On Monday, Wilson's friends said she had been partying in downtown Bloomington and they were also going to go to Kilroy's Sports Bar, but deemed that she was too drunk to join them there. The group put Wilson into a taxi alone around 1am on Friday and gave the driver her address. Her body was found near Lake Lemon at around 8.30am. She died from blunt force trauma to the head, according to the county coroner, and preliminary results of an autopsy show she was struck three or four times in the back of the head with an object. Her only other injuries were superficial abrasions and bruises that the coroner said were protective, rather than defensive, wounds. 'Like trying to prevent her head from being hit,' he told The Herald-Times. Wilson was found fully clothed and there was no sign of sexual assault, police told Sky News. Toxicology reports for the woman will not be available for ten to 14 days. Police said they traced a cellphone found near Wilson's feet to Daniel Messel and after they arrested him, investigators found blood in his vehicle, according to a probable cause affidavit. Arrested: Daniel Messel, 49, has been arrested on suspicion of her murder. A cellphone that police traced back to Messel was found at Wilson's feet and investigators allegedly found blood inside his vehicle . Last seen: Her friends went to this bar in Bloomington but, thinking that Wilson was too drunk, put her in a taxi to go home. Spierer also spent time at the same bar before she vanished in 2011 . Messel's stepfather, Gerald Messel, told Fox59 that the man spoke of meeting a girl called 'Hannah' at bars near the university campus ahead of her death.

Xavier Denamur sparked fury after he exposed France as a country of microwave cheats and even went as far as to compare chefs' corner-cutting as being the culinary equivalent of a low-cost airline . 'The microwave has become the chef's best friend,' he told The Times. Unesco has named France's 'gastronomic meal' a world treasure and the country still welcomes more tourists than any other nation. But there are signs that its crown as the world's culinary king has been slipping for some time. Last year, the country that gave us the croissant, coq au vin and moules marin\u00ed\u00e8res, as well as introducing the concept of L'ap\u00e9ritif, did not get a single entry in to the top ten of the World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards.

Instead the list was dominated by Spain, the UK, USA, Brazil with Denmark as number one, with only five French restaurants making it into the awards at all. The French government was so concerned they called on two multi-Michelin-starred chefs to draw up battle plans. But even chefs Alain Ducasse and Guy Savoy, who have now put together a 20-point plan, admitted that France's global culinary influence 'is no longer the same'. They added that France's mid-to-low range restaurants, particularity in tourist traps like Mont Saint Michel or the banks of the Seine, let the country down. The chefs recommended stricter criteria should also be introduced on food with the 'home-made' label in restaurants which currently allows most frozen and vacuum-packed food.

In his book he said the dominant low cost model imposed by the 'greedy' producers of frozen food has 'trapped independent restaurants and sacked the planet.' Last year the French government passed a law which was meant to force restaurants to label the dishes they prepare from fresh ingredients in their own kitchens as 'fait maison' (homemade).

Mr Davison had put the family racing stables, and seven-bedroom detached former matrimonial home at Tillingdown Farm, near Woldingham, into a complex structure of offshore companies and trusts and denied that he had any stake in the property. His lawyers argued that the farm into which he had sunk his gambling fortune was all held in trust for Zoe Davison, his daughter from his first marriage, and his two children from his marriage to Mrs Davison. However, divorce judge, Mrs Justice Baron, ordered the trust controlling the farm to pay out a \u00a3756,000 lump sum to Mrs Davison.

Christopher Stefanoni, a 50-year-old from Darien, a town of 21,000 with a median household income of $200,000, says his nine-year old was kicked off his team and put in a lower-ranking one just after he proposed developments involving affordable housing. According to a lawsuit filed by Stefanoni, locals are so worried at the prospect of the town's black population - currently 70 people, or 0.33 per cent - getting any bigger that they hit back through the medium of baseball. Small-town fury: Christopher Stefanoni, 50, says his nine-year-old son was moved into a lower Little League team because his affordable housing homes threatened the ethnic makeup of the extremely white town . As well as his son being booted to a lesser team in the league, Stefanoni was also banned from coaching. The town and the Little League both deny that the goings-on of the Little League and Stefanoni's housing plans are linked. In court documents they describe his grievance as 'an imaginary slight that has no connection to reality'. U.S. Census information says that Darien is 94 per cent white, with 620 Hispanic residents and fewer than 100 blacks. Stefanoni said two proposals were rejected by town officials; a 16-apartment complex with five affordable units, and a 30-apartment one with nine affordable units. He said: 'Darien is a little white enclave, sort of a holdout segregated town. The attitudes that people in Darien have are very exclusionary, demeaning. 'When they go after your kids, they've crossed the line'. The town has previously been investigated by the Justice Department over a policy which gave affordable housing priority to people who already lived and worked in Darien. Swanky: This photograph shows Darien's downtown area, complete with picturesque New England architecture and expensive cars parked up in front of boutique stores . The policy was dropped before the investigation finished. The lawsuit and a federal housing investigation reopened old wounds in Darien. The town was made famous by the 1947 Oscar-winner Gentleman's Agreement, starring Gregory Peck, which depicted anti-Semitic residents conspiring not to sell property to Jews. Stefanoni and his wife, Margaret, filed the lawsuit in 2013 against the Darien Little League those who were in charge when their son was demoted, in fall 2010.

+{"article": "A new antibody injection could 'wipe out advanced cancer' by rooting out and obliterating tumours, scientists have revealed. The research has been hailed a 'tour de force', raising hopes the body's immune system could be trained to attack melanoma, pancreatic, breast and lung cancer. The team at Stanford University School of Medicine believe the laboratory-engineered antibodies could eradicate not only primary tumours, but also distant metastases that have spread through the body. Professor Edgar Engleman, senior author of the study, said: 'The potency is impressive. 'You actually see tumour eradication.' A new study has suggested an antibody injection could 'wipe out cancer' by rooting out and eradicating both primary tumours and distant metastases, where the cancer has spread to other parts of the body . Their findings have been hailed a 'tour de force', raising hopes the body's immune system could be trained to attack melanoma, pancreatic, lung and breast cancer, pictured . His team concluded their approach differed to other potential treatments that only apply to specific cancers, in that it could target a wide range of solid tumours. The process relies on the same mechanism as that which causes animals' bodies to reject organ transplants, researchers said. In both cases, antibodies - molecules that detect foreign substances in the body - trigger the immune system. They bind themselves to proteins from the foreign tissue - in this case the tumour - and through the use of signalling cells, alert T-cells, that act like the immune's system's SWAT team. When the T-cells come into contact with the 'unwelcome' tissue, they attack and destroy it. Researchers isolated the antibodies from mice that were found to be resistant to the cancers. They then injected these antibodies, along with chemicals that activated signalling cells, known as dendritic cells, into cancerous mice. The mice mounted an immune response and were found to remain cancer-free for more than a year. Once primed to recognise the cancerous tissue, the T-cells would multiply and not only attack the tumour, but hunt down any metastatic cells travelling through the body. The team concluded their approach differed to other potential treatments that only apply to specific cancers, in that it could target a wide range of solid tumours, including melanoma, pictured . Dr Yaron Carmi, the lead author, discovered both antibodies and the signalling, dendritic cells are both crucial for tumour elimination. 'Within hours after injection, these tumour cells are already coated with antibodies,' he said. He added when the team disabled the antibodies' ability to bind to the tumours, or the dendritic cells' ability to ingest the tumours, the T-cells failed to eradicate the cancer. 'T-cells contain the bullets, but in our system, the antibodies start the whole thing off,' Professor Engleman, said. By adding chemicals that encouraged the growth of the signalling, dendritic cells, to the antibodies, the researchers were able to eliminate six different types of cancer - two melanomas, lymphoma, breast, lung and pancreatic cancer. 'Dr Carmi was able to show that this combination therapy was extraordinary powerful,' said Professor Engleman.

Iraqi officials said Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri had died in fighting with government troops in Salahuddin province, north of Baghdad. Al-Douri, 72, headed the Naqshbandi Order insurgent group, an important faction behind the recent rise of ISIS. Scroll down for video . Al-Douri was an Iraqi military commander and was Vice Chairman of the Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council, until the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq . Al-Douri was the King of Clubs in the famous pack of cards the US issued of wanted members of Saddam's regime after its collapse . He was one of Saddam's most trusted henchmen, helping to lead his 1968 bloodless coup. Both Al-Douri and Saddam came from the same Tikriti tribal background. He was then deputy to Saddam when he was deposed following the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Following the execution of Saddam Hussein on 30 December, 2006, Al-Douri was confirmed as the new leader of the banned Ba'ath Party. Al-Douri was deemed the most high-profile official of Saddam's Ba'ath Party to evade capture after the invasion. He was ranked sixth on the US military's list of the 55 most-wanted Iraqis after offensive to overthrow Saddam and had a $10m bounty on his head. He was the King of Clubs in the infamous pack of cards the US issued of wanted members of Saddam's regime after its collapse. His dead body was pictured on social media today with his teeth missing, an unkempt orange beard and a bloody head wound.

US giant Morgan Stanley said the prospect of a Labour government reliant on the Scottish Nationalists would create the \u2018greatest uncertainty\u2019 of any election result. Its inevitable \u2018anti-austerity\u2019 agenda could lead to an \u2018earlier bank rate hike than was previously the case\u2019, the bank argued. US giant Morgan Stanley said the prospect of a Labour government reliant on the Scottish Nationalists would create the \u2018greatest uncertainty\u2019 of any election result . Last night, a second major bank, Goldman Sachs, also raised concerns about the same outcome on May 7.

It warned that Labour would be then expected to abandon its pledge to manage the public finances carefully. The reports are a double blow to Labour\u2019s attempts to convince voters that the economy would be in safe hands with a Mr Miliband-led government. In an election research note, Morgan Stanley said that a Labour-led government reliant on the \u2018anti-austerity and separatist SNP\u2019 would lead investors to predict a \u2018substantially looser fiscal policy\u2019. Goldman also warned in a note to investors that a \u2018Leftward shift\u2019 could cause share prices to fall in UK firms \u2013 particularly those hit by tougher regulation and higher taxes such as banks and energy companies. Nicola Sturgeon's (left) Scottish National Party would drag Ed Miliband (right) and the Labour party into its anti-austerity agenda, Goldman Sachs warned last night . By contrast, it said the Conservative-led coalition \u2018has established some credibility in markets as a consequence of its contribution to the stabilisation of the economy and revival of growth that has been achieved since 2010.\u2019 As a result \u2018it is likely that business sentiment would be supported by the emergence of a Conservative government\u2019. Goldman also pointed out that whoever wins the election will inevitably be hit by \u2018financial shocks\u2019 in the coming years. \u2018Given the mixed record of Labour administrations at dealing with such challenges in the past, the business community may be sceptical that a Labour-led government would deliver market-friendly policies.\u2019 The comments mark another vote of confidence for Chancellor George Osborne, who was praised last week by International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde for his handling of the economy.

The gap between wage rises for young and older staff has widened significantly during the past five years, amid claims the over-50s are being left behind, official figures reveal. Critics said employers were cynically taking advantage of older workers who stay with the same company for longer by failing to train and promote them or give them decent annual pay rises. The under-25s saw their wages rise more than eight times faster than the over-50s, as they quickly climbed the rungs of the career ladder . Last year, workers aged 18 to 24 received bumper 10.6 per cent pay rises, falling to 3.8 per cent for people aged 25 to 34 and to 2 per cent for workers aged 36 to 49. For workers aged 50 to 64, pay rises plunge to a meagre 1.2 per cent, official figures show \u2013 significantly below the UK average of 2.1 per cent. The Office for National Statistics revealed in its latest Economic Review that the under-25s are five times as likely to have moved jobs in the past three months than workers over-50. But while younger workers often receive greater pay rises because they move jobs more frequently, official data shows that the gap is widening. In 2009, Britain\u2019s youngest workers received pay rises three times greater than older workers, but this has now widened to nine times greater. In the last three months of 2014, 5.4 per cent of 18-25-year-olds changed jobs, compared to only 1.2 per cent of 50-64-year-olds . Experts said the growing gulf between the generations could signal a reluctance by employers to train and promote older members of staff. Ros Altmann, a Whitehall adviser on older workers, said: \u2018Younger people\u2019s pay is rising faster than average and the rate of increase is accelerating. \u2018It could be because younger people are the most likely to receive training, with employers keen to focus on the newer workers and spending far less on training older workers. \u2018With the pace of change in technology and processes being so rapid nowadays, the need for ongoing training is more important than ever, so people do not fall behind in terms of pay and productivity.\u2019 Labour leader Ed Miliband today renewed his attack on the government, claiming the Tories 'believe in the old idea that as long as the rich and powerful are OK then everyone else will succeed' She also criticised the Government for subsidising training for under-25s, \u2018so that employers find it much cheaper to train youngsters than older workers\u2019. She added: \u2018The increase in pay for younger workers is great news and shows they are progressing well.

For the moment, summer is cancelled for the defender - at least until he knows where he'll be playing next season. His contract at Manchester City expires at the end of the season, when he becomes a free agent. The next few months will be vital in determining whether Richards can resurrect his once burgeoning career. Micah Richards has found playing time hard to come by during his loan move to Italian side Fiorentina . Richards joined the Serie A side after being frozen out at City - and will be on the move again this summer . He knows it, too, choosing to delay any holidays until his next destination is finalised. Likewise, he's taken the decision to change representation, striking an agreement with Wasserman Media Group - the firm that look after Steven Gerrard. His season-long loan in Florence hasn't been a disaster, but you can hardly call it an overwhelming success. Unable to hold down a regular place in Vincenzo Montella's starting XI this season, Richards has had ample time to reflect on his career so far. Tipped as the future of England's defence, Richards' career has been on steady decline. But at the age of 26-year-old, there's time for Richards to buck that recent trend. Richards celebrates with Yaya Toure and Gael Clichy at his boyhood club, where his contract ends this year . Ricahrds is set on a return to the Premier League, shown here in 2011 skipping past Arsenal's Gervinho . He's enjoyed his time in Italy; he likes the lifestyle. But the defender is almost certain that he wants to return to the Premier League ahead of next season. Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini would sign Richards in a heartbeat. He tried, and failed, to sign him on loan in January. The possibility of a permanent reunion with Mancini, who nurtured Richards' career at Manchester City, this summer is a real one for the defender. But the drive to prove he can still be a force in England is strong. Richards has unfinished business on these shores. Richards will not be short of suitors. Aston Villa, Southampton, Everton and West Ham are showing an interest. On paper, a move for Richards this summer is a no brainer. A Premier League winner, close to 200 top-flight appearances under his belt, still only 26 and available on a free transfer. The Birmingham-born 26 year old was England's first choice right-back as a youngster . You don't get many of those to the pound. The pound, though, isn't something Richards will be too concerned with this summer. Talk to those close to the defender, they'll tell you he simply wants to get back to playing regular football - not once every two or three weeks.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that intercepted phone calls prove the US helped Chechen Islamic insurgents wage war against Russia. In a documentary aired today on state-owned Rossiya-1 TV channel, he said phone records from the early 2000s show direct contact between North Caucasus separatists and US secret services. 'At one point our secret services simply detected direct contacts between militants from the North Caucasus and representatives of the United States secret services in Azerbaijan,' Putin said. Putin said he raised the issue with then-US President George W. Bush, who promised to 'kick the ass' of the intelligence officers in question. But he claimed a few days later the heads of Russia's FSB received a letter from their American counterparts, which said they had the right to support opposition forces in Russia. 'Someone over there, especially the West's intelligence services, obviously thought that if they act to destabilize their main geopolitical rival, which, as we now understand, in their eyes has always been Russia, it would be good for them. It turned out, it wasn't,' Putin said. He said he had warned the West about the possible dangers of supporting terrorists. Following a disastrous war in the 1990s, Russia fought Islamic insurgents in Chechnya and neighboring regions in the volatile North Caucasus. 'They were actually helping them, even with transportation,' Putin said. The documentary 'The President' showed Putin being interviewed at the Kremlin in the dimly-lit St. Alexander's Hall. He even defended the annexation of Crimea as a response to the will of the people, saying it righted a historical injustice. The annexation of the Black Sea peninsula from Ukraine in March 2014 provoked the worst crisis between the West and Russia since the end of the Cold War. Putin said he had no regrets. 'It's not because Crimea has a strategic importance in the Black Sea region. It's because this has elements of historical justice. I believe we did the right thing and I don't regret anything,' he said. Putin said he raised the issue with then-US President George W. Bush, who promised to 'kick the ass' of the intelligence officers in question . Putin also said sanctions imposed by the West after the annexation were aimed at halting Russia's progress as a global power. Putin condemned punitive sanctions imposed by the United States and European Union. 'We have witnessed such attempts during Russia's entire history, dating back to tsarist times. This attempt to deter Russia, this policy, has been known for a long time, for centuries. There is nothing new,' he was reported as saying. Putin also expressed his fears that the West wishes Russia harm as he recalled how some world leaders told him they would not mind Russia's possible disintegration.

Men are able to produce sperm throughout their lives. However, the quality declines and this could have implications for the next generation . Worldwide data from more than 60 teams of researchers on the health risks associated with older fathers found that men aged over 35 had a 50 per cent lower chance of conceiving over a 12-month period than men 25 and under, even after taking into account the age of the would-be mother. The risk of miscarriage and premature birth also rises when the man is more than 40.

Children conceived by fathers over 40 also have a 30 per cent increased risk of epilepsy, a 37 per cent higher risk of Down's syndrome, a 14 per cent greater chance of childhood leukaemia, and a 70 per cent greater likelihood of central nervous system cancers (such as brain tumours).

Russian military inspectors have arrived at a huge Nato war games exercise off the coast of Scotland, it emerged yesterday. British officers were forced to accept the four-day inspection from the experts from Moscow under a European arms control treaty despite heightened tensions with Vladimir Putin. They are attending Exercise Joint Warrior, designed to send a signal to the President in the face of continuing aggression. Britain and 11 other Nato countries are set to contribute to the naval exercise, which was hailed by the Government as one of the largest land, air, and sea training exercises run in Europe. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the exercise, involving 58 warships and submarines, 50 aircraft and 3,000 land forces would show the world how \u2018powerful\u2019 Nato was.

Sergey Ryzhkov, head of the centre, said: \u2018During the event, the inspectors will visit ranges and plan to hold command briefings on the conducted military activities.\u2019 It is the first time Russian inspectors have attended Nato manoeuvres since relations between Moscow and the alliance plummeted after the annexation of Crimea.

Tests carried out in combination with chemotherapy drugs achieved almost complete remission in mice. The US scientists used low doses of the drug oxaliplatin, which has a unique ability to activate cancer-killing immune cells in small tumours but works less well in large, aggressive tumours. Tests of new drug oxaliplatin, carried out in combination with chemotherapy drugs, achieved almost complete remission in mice. Each year in the UK around 41,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and 11,000 die from the disease . The problem is partly caused by immune system \u2018B-cells\u2019 that put a brake on the body\u2019s defences in prostate and other cancers. In their study, the researchers found a way of blocking the development or function of these B-cells, or removed them entirely before using oxaliplatin. The prostate tumours were \u2018almost completely destroyed\u2019 by the mice\u2019s own immune cells, the team said. Lead scientist Shabnam Shalapour, of the University of California at San Diego, said: \u2018The presence of such B-cells in human prostate cancer calls for clinical testing of this novel therapeutic approach.\u2019 Because of the effect of the immune system, advanced and aggressive prostate cancer does not typically respond to chemotherapy, researchers said.

In a drastic step which will be studied closely in Britain, MPs particularly highlighted the irresponsibility of fashion websites which encourage women to keep their weight as low as possible. Now these \u2018pro-anorexia\u2019 sites will face a year in prison and a fine equivalent to just over \u00a37,000. Deputies in the National Assembly in Paris voted through the amendment to a law on public health and it is expected to be rubber-stamped by the Senate. Scroll down for video . Unhealthy: French MPs have voted to punish anyone who 'incites' people to become dangerously thin with a year in prison and fines of up to \u00a37,000 weeks after rejecting a ban on super-skinny models . It singled out those who 'provoke people to excessive thinness by encouraging prolonged dietary restrictions that could expose them to a danger of death, or directly impair their health.' Around 40,000 people suffer from anorexia in France, the vast majority women and teenage girls. Maud Olivier and Catherine Coutelle, the MPs who proposed the law, said in a joint statement that 'certain sites known as pro-Ana can push people into a vicious circle of anorexia and authorities cannot do anything about it.' They said the new law was not designed to threaten 'freedom of expression on the Internet', but was a long overdue health reform. Anorexia has one of the highest mortality rates of a psychiatric disorder and is extremely difficult to treat. In March, MPs in France rejected a proposal that would have seen ultra-slim models banned from the fashion runways. However, the MP behind the planned law has vowed the fight is not over. At the time, Olivier Veran said: 'I believe that models should eat well and look after their health. French socialist politician Olivier Veran (pictured) has vowed to continue the fight to ban ultra-thin models from the catwalk in France . 'This is an important message to young women who see these models as an aesthetic example'. He also proposed a new law that punish the 'glorification of anorexia', especially online. France's National Union of Modelling Agencies (SYNAM), has complained that new laws could harm the competitiveness of French modelling. A SYNAM statement read: 'French modelling agencies are in permanent competition with their European counterparts. As a result, a European approach is needed.' The French legislation comes after countries including Spain, Italy and Brazil have all clamped down on skinny models at catwalk shows. Spain has barred models below a certain body mass index from the Madrid fashion shows, while Italy has insisted on health certificates for fashion show participants. And Brazil is considering demands to ban underage, underweight models from its catwalks. Medical experts around the world have warned against the dangers of ultra-skinny catwalk models, and images airbrushed to make girls look thinner, which they say encourage anorexia in girls as young as six.

The Welsh schoolboy, who was formally named by police today, was holidaying in the French resort of Flaine with his mother Ceri, elder brother Gerwyn, 19, and nine-year-old sister Antonia when the accident took place. A seven-year-old British boy has died after getting separated from his parents on a family skiing holiday in the French resort of Flaine near Geneva (pictured above). He fell down a 160ft cliff after trying to find his parents . Police are still trying to piece together the tragic sequence of events, but they believe the little boy was killed instantly in the fall on Friday after leaving the marked ski slope to look for his family. Investigators are unsure how he came to be at the top of the steep 320ft-high cliff, which overshadows the Lac de Flaine.

He was then spotted by rescuers in a helicopter, and they recovered his body at around 7.30pm from the bottom of the cliff.

The fast-casual chain, which plans on having 2,000 stores by the end of the year, removed carnitas pork burritos from roughly a third of its locations in January, but still doesn't have a stable supply of the meat. Chipotle, which dropped one of its pork vendors earlier this year, only uses humanely-raised pigs that have not received added hormones, though they have become harder to acquire after demand has risen. Fast-casual chain Chipotle says that it does not know when it will have enough pork to supply all of its stores with sustainably raised meat for its carnitas burritos (file photo) 'We don\u2019t know for sure when we\u2019ll be fully supplied again,' Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold told Bloomberg. The restaurant's pigs also need access to the outdoors and living spaces with large supplies of straw for their meat to make it into Chipotle burritos, tacos and bowls. Other retailers such as grocery store chain Kroger have begun taking up some of Chipotle's ethical standards. McDonald's pledged to stop using chickens treated with antibiotics at its stores in the next two years. The grocer and Dunkin Donuts have both said they will stop using pork from farms with gestation crates, where sows are kept in two-foot wide containers and are repeatedly impregnated without being able to move. The carnitas pork shoulder meat at Chipotle (pictured in burrito) comes from pigs that are raised outside or in living spaces with large supplies of straw (file photo) However, fewer than five per cent of pigs in the US are raised in a way that meets Chipotle's standards, according to CBS. It has been rotating its small supply of pork, of which it uses only pork shoulder, to different stores so that each location can have carnitas at least sometimes. Farmers are wary of the increased production cost for premium, antibiotic-free pork and worry about finding people to pay an appropriate price for the 'premium' meat after Denver-based Chipotle has the bits it wants. Chipotle said that supply constraints were behind 6.3 per cent price increases last year. As of Thursday morning, its stock price had fallen more than five points since news of the continued shortage was published Wednesday. Chipotle says that constraints on receiving supplies that met their standards led to 6.3 per cent price increases last year (file photo) When sustainably raised beef runs out, the store uses conventionally raised cows, but it views the conditions of factory farmed pigs by the world's biggest pork producers as particularly bad. Beyond the farming side, regular US pork production was also criticized earlier this year by meat inspectors after several of the nation's slaughterhouses transferred to a new system that increases the numbers of hogs killed per minute to 1,300.

A New Delhi driver was accused of raping a passenger in December. This week in Denver, a driver tried and failed to break into a passenger's home. And in London, a woman was allegedly asked to perform oral sex on her driver. These claims, among others, follow a data leak last May, which saw the details of 50,000 current and former drivers released into the public domain. It is hoped Sullivan, the first federal prosecutor to specialize in high-technology crime, can protect Uber from potentially crippling ramifications. Lifeline? Joe Sullivan, 46, will leave his role as Facebook's security chief to help Uber defend safety concerns . There were three high-profile assault cases involving Uber drivers in December 2014. An Indian woman said her driver raped her in New Delhi, leading to outcries and a temporary ban of Uber in that city. It came days after a driver was charged in Boston with raping a young woman. The same week, a woman in London revealed that she was offered \u00a320 credit from Uber after one of its drivers allegedly sexually harassed her during a cab ride.

Though his experience lies in digital protection, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has also entrusted the 46-year-old with tackling physical security. Sullivan's role will involve liaising with city and state governments around the world as the firm rapidly expands.

Johnson Wagner watches his putt go by the hole on the second play-off, handing the title to Holmes .

+{"article": "SKYFARING . by Mark Vanhoenacker . (Chatto & Windus \u00a316.99) Our fascination with aeroplanes, and the men who fly them (it is still overwhelmingly men), has acquired a morbid flavour since Germanwings flight 9525 was deliberately crashed into the French Alps by its troubled co-pilot Andreas Lubitz. The tragedy ignited an ongoing debate about stress and depression among pilots, and airline vetting procedures, in which just about all of us have a vested interest. This makes Mark Vanhoenacker\u2019s book, unwittingly, very timely indeed. When he was writing it he had never heard of Lubitz, of course, but nor does he dwell on the horrors of 9/11 or any other plane crashes either accidental or premeditated. Vanhoenacker is a senior first officer with British Airways, who wants us simply to understand his passion for his job, and to share with us many of its more beguiling secrets. Like me, he was still a child when he was first invited into an aeroplane cockpit, and like me, he regarded it as one of the transcendent treats of his young life. But for him, the mystique endured. It is reassuring, now more than ever, to be reminded that even for experienced pilots air travel can still be an exhilarating, almost magical experience. Mark Vanhoenacker is a senior first officer with British Airways and he wants the reader to simply understand his passion for his job . Vanhoenacker, an American, worked as a management consultant before rekindling that childhood obsession. He learned to fly in Britain, tempted by our \u2018historic relationship with aviation\u2019. Coincidentally, his first job was to pilot the Airbus 320 on medium-distance European flights \u2014 exactly what Lubitz was doing on that catastrophically fateful day. But Vanhoenacker moved on to Boeing 747s, and they are his great love. He admires the 747 like a sculptor might a perfect human torso, observing how pleasing they are to the eye. Vanhoenacker recalls a wildlife writer once describing Virginia\u2019s great blue heron as \u2018the 747 of the swamp\u2019 and notes how this would delight the aircraft\u2019s chief designer, Joseph Sutter, who was greatly influenced by the anatomy of birds. But Sutter (now in his mid-90s) once stated that the 747 is more \u2018a place\u2019 than a conveyance. Pilots like flying 747s for all kinds of reasons, Vanhoenacker tells us, but not the least of them is one of the most prosaic: unlike the Airbus, in which pilots usually wear heavy socks, they have foot heaters. And the \u2018frozen surface of the Arctic Ocean looks better \u2014 everything looks better \u2014 when your feet are warm\u2019. He writes elegantly about his pilot\u2019s eye view of the world and explains that he has come to measure countries in jet time, ie how long they take to cross. Thus, Russia is a seven-hour country and Belgium, with a tailwind, is merely a 15-minute country. Noting the vast, desolate regions he routinely flies over, it does not surprise him that, according to one calculation, the portion of the Earth\u2019s surface on which an unclothed human could survive for 24 hours", "summary": "The Germanwings tragedy has ignited debate about depression in pilots .

This is the evolutionary tree of sperm whales showing links between extinct and living species, and when the spermaceti organ changed shape . The remains, which were discovered in Panama, indicate that the bone involved in sound generation and echolocation got smaller throughout the evolution of the sperm whale. In contrast modern sperm whales (a stock image is shown) are much larger than their extinct relatives . The sperm whale is the largest of the toothed whales and the largest toothed predator. It's only one of three living species in the sperm whale family, along with the pygmy sperm whale and dwarf sperm whale. Mature males reach an average length of 52 ft (16 metres) with their head making up one third of their length. They mostly dine on squid and swim to depths of 7,380 FT (2,250 metres) to hunt for prey. They are the second deepest diving mammal, following only Cuvier's beaked whale. The sperm whale's clicking vocalisation - a form of echolocation and communication - can be as loud as 230 decibels underwater, making it the loudest sound produced by any animal. It has the largest brain of any animal on Earth, more than five times heavier than a human's and can live for more than 60 years. It reveals an unexpected level of complexity in the evolution of the spermaceti, which is an organ located within the head that plays a key role in the generation of sound and in the whale\u2019s capacity for echolocation. The study, published in the journal Plos One, shows that at one time small sperm whales measuring around seven feet (two metres in length) had", "summary": "Team of scientists discovered new species of extinct pygmy sperm whale .

Each label says that the product is 100 per cent cotton - but adds that is not the whole story and follows on with a snap shot of just who could have made the item. Scroll down for video . The label in the red hooded top highlights the case of 34-year-old Tejan who had been coughing up blood but carried on working for fear of losing his job . One of the labels, sewn into a yellow, cable jumper, reveals a day in the life of Behnly and reads: 'Made in Cambodia by Behnly, nine years old. He gets up at 5am every morning to make his way to the garment factory where he works. 'It will be dark when he arrives and dark when he leaves. He dresses lightly because the temperature in the room he works reaches 30 degrees. 'The dust in the room fills his nose and mouth.

This label describes the story of Behnly, nine, who has been working since 5am . 'When he fell into a seizure one day it could no longer be ignored. The diagnosis was pesticide poisoning. 'The lack of proper protective clothing has left him with leukemia at the age of 34. He has two daughters. One of them starts work at the factory next year.

'Her father was killed when a fire ripped through the cotton factory where he works. She now works in the building across the street from the burned down factory.

Yet there is more to it than that. Cavani has a towering reputation in the game, stemming from three prolific seasons in Naples which led to his record-breaking move to Paris, but can you think of a really vital game that he has stamped his class all over? To suggest that may seem a little harsh. He came within the width of a goal post at Stamford Bridge of being the undisputed match winner and his bullet header in the first leg in February that gave Laurent Blanc\u2019s side the opportunity to travel to London with parity. Since then, however, Cavani has endured problems and a significant goal drought for one of his talent. Between February 17 and April 5, Cavani went seven matches without scoring and only ended the fallow spell with a double as a substitute in the Coupe de Ligue final on Saturday. PSG won that game 4-0 but had matters sewn up before Cavani came on and helped himself to a double late on (Ibrahimovic had scored twice to give them breathing space); it was his first action since an angry altercation with Blanc a week earlier during a 3-2 win in Marseille.

Experts proposed this new theory in a recently released 200-page report on the Molalla Log Cabin, a structure they believe could have been built as early as 1795 - ten years before Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean. Historic building repairer Gregg Olson and architectural historian Pam Hayden have been analyzing the log cabin for seven years and say it is unlike anything else found in Oregon. Secrets hidden in wood: Experts believe the Molalla Log House (above) was constructed as early as 1795 - a decade before Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean . One of a kind: The construction of the log cabin is unlike pioneer building methods at the time - suggesting it was instead made by foreigners .

The cabin's intricate construction is not consistent with pioneer building methods, suggesting it was created by foreigners, and more specifically Russians. The way the logs are tightly interwoven, secured without nails and leaving no gaps to fill, is similar to Russian log cabins of the same time period, when Catherine the Great was sending envoys to Alaska to boost the fur trade. Olson and Hayden hypothesize that the 18-foot-wide cabin could have been a home for a small group of 10 to 50 Russian settlers sent to Oregon's Willamette Valley as farmers to feed the fur trappers on Alaska's Kodiak Island. Looking for a home: Above, a view of the cabin before its roof collapsed and it was moved indoors in 2008. Olson and Hayden are currently trying to find a permanent place to house the cabin . The first mobile home: Olson discovered that the original builders of the cabin wrote numbers into the boards, so that the structure could be disassembled and reassembled . Expert craftsmanship: The boards fit perfectly together so that nothing is needed to fill in the gaps and winterize the structure for winter . Many uses: Throughout its storied life, the Molalla Log Cabin has been used as a home, animal shelter, machine shed and granary . Preserved: The structure was made a historical landmark in 1991 and moved in doors in 2007 when the wood was starting to succumb to the elements .

Detlef Guenzel chopped Polish-born Wojciech Stempniewicz into small pieces while listening to pop music before burying them in the garden of his home in Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau in 2013. 'He was found guilty of murder and disturbing the peace of the dead,' said presiding judge Birgit Wiegand at the regional court in the eastern city of Dresden. State attorneys had sought 10 and a half years in prison for the defendant, a trim, soft-spoken father of three whom neighbours described as friendly, generous and unfailingly polite. Lawyers representing the family of Stempniewicz, 59, had requested a 15-year sentence, usually the maximum in a murder case. But prosecutors said they stopped short of this demand because Stempniewicz said he wanted to die. Macabre: Former German police officer Detlev Guenzel smirks in court before being sentenced to eight years and six months in jail for killing a willing victim he met on a website for cannibalism fetishists . Deranged: Guenzel, 57, went on trial in August over the killing of Polish-born business consultant Wojciech Stempniewicz whose body he had cut into small pieces and buried them in his garden . The defendant sat impassively with arms folded as the verdict was read out. The men came across each other in October 2013 on a website for slaughter and cannibalism fantasies billed as the '#1 site for exotic meat' and boasting more than 3,000 registered members. The two kept in contact via email, text message and telephone before finally arranging the fatal date for November 4 that year. Gunezel picked Stempniewicz up at Dresden's main railway station and drove him back to his house in Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau which he ran as a bed and breakfast with his male partner. Prosecutors said Gunezel then took his victim to the basement where he strangled him using a rope tied to a pulley before chopping the corpse up into small pieces.

At one point he stops to listen for a heartbeat before continuing. However the defence team argue that the video shows Stempniewicz had his feet in constant contact with the ground, meaning he could have stopped the strangulation if he had wanted to. They claimed the video, which was shown to judges behind closed doors, proves the victim hanged himself. Gunezel then spent a total of four hours cutting the body up with a knife and saw, before burying it in shallow holes the garden.

Jennifer Barnett worked Archway School in Stroud, Gloucestershire, between 1980 and 1997, when she left teaching to have her fourth child. The 60-year-old died last September, 14 months after she was diagnosed with mesothelioma - a cancer whose most common cause is asbestos. Loved: Jennifer Barnett worked Archway School in Stroud, Gloucestershire, between 1980 and 1997, when she left teaching to have her fourth child. Above, the mother-of-four with her husband and children . Her husband, Nigel, told an inquest into her death in January that his wife had to cut sheets of asbestos while working on a farm in her 20s. 'She then became an art teacher and from 1977 until 1995 worked at various schools, often hanging paintings on walls containing asbestos,' he added. The coroner, Katy Skerrett, recorded a verdict of death as a result of industrial disease. A post-mortem found a large tumour in her right lung. Ms Skerrett said: 'It is clear that there was sufficient exposure to asbestos in her occupation for me to reach a conclusion that this lady died from an industrial disease.' Mr Barnett and his family believe the asbestos in the school is to blame for Mrs Barnett's death and are now taking legal action against Gloucestershire County Council. In a statement released this week, Mr Barnett said that during her time as a teacher, his wife also did clay modelling with pupils and the cupboard where the clay was stored also contained asbestos. He said: 'Jen was a fantastic wife and a wonderful mother to our four children. She was so precious to us and it is hard to believe she's gone. 'Prior to her illness, she was a very fit and healthy 60-year old who enjoyed playing tennis in her spare time and was a dedicated and extremely talented artist who continued to work right up until her death. 'Our youngest daughter was only 18 when her mum passed away and was just about to start university. 'The whole family misses her dreadfully and we are all shocked and devastated that her life was cut short so suddenly.' Mrs Barnett worked at Archway School, where she was known as Miss Shonk, as an art teacher before being promoted head of the department. She left teaching aged 42 to have her youngest daughter, but continued to work as an artist.

+{"article": "Bird numbers have dramatically declined in Fukushima, research has revealed. Scientists analysed 57 species in the region and found that the majority of populations had diminished as a result of the nuclear accident. They found that one breed in particular had plummeted from several hundred before the 2011 disaster to just a few dozen today. Researchers have found that bird species are continuing to drop in Fukushima (shown after the disaster in 2011). The barn swallow, for example, dropped from hundreds to dozens. This is despite radiation levels in the region starting to fall. And comparing it to Chernobyl could reveal what the future holds . The research, published in the Journal of Ornithology, was carried out by scientists at the University of South Carolina including biologist Dr Tim Mousseau. They showed that the situation has steadily worsened since the disaster on 11 March 2011. On that day, just over four years ago, Japan\u2019s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was heavily damaged by an earthquake and its resultant tsunami. The Fukushima nuclear disaster was a failure at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant on 11 March 2011. It was caused when the plant was hit by a tsunami, triggered by the 9.0 Tohoku earthquake. This led to three of the plant\u2019s six nuclear reactors going into meltdown and releasing radioactive materials. Reports claim the soil and water in the region still contains high levels of radiation which makes the clean-up effort difficult. A total of 300,000 people evacuated the Fukushima area on the east coast and 15,884 people died due to the earthquake and tsunami. Many populations were found to have diminished in number as a result of the accident, with several species suffering dramatic declines. One of the most hard-hit species is the barn swallow, Hirundo rustica, which suffered large population losses due to radiation exposure. \u2018We know that there were hundreds in a given area before the disaster, and just a couple of years later we're only able to find a few dozen left,\u2019 said Dr Mousseau. \u2018The declines have been really dramatic.\u2019 And while background radiation has declined in the region in recent years, the negative effects of the accident on birds are actually increasing. \u2018The relationship between radiation and numbers started off negative the first summer, but the strength of the relationship has actually increased each year,\u2019 Dr Mousseau said. \u2018So now we see this really striking drop-off in numbers of birds as well as numbers of species of birds. \u2018So both the biodiversity and the abundance are showing dramatic impacts in these areas with higher radiation levels, even as the levels are declining.\u2019 Dr Tim Mousseau and his team made the findings using thermoluminescent detectors, which use gamma-radiation-sensitive crystals (shown) to measure radiation doses in individual subjects living in the wild .

He was also spotted committing an undisclosed sex act on a tree. Crowder was arrested in Melbourne, facing charges of battery on a law-enforcement officer, resisting with violence, and assault with a deadly weapon on a law-enforcement officer. Kennth Crowder was arrested in Melbourne, Florida, on Friday after being spotted running naked through a neighborhood claiming he was God . When police arrived on scene, he had put on jeans and a T-shirt and walked toward the officer in an aggressive manner as he called himself God, police told WKMG. A police officer shocked him with a Taser twice, but each time he pulled the probes out of his body and attempted to fight the officer. The officer then punched Crowder in the face and he fought back, claiming he was Thor and attempting to stab the officer with his own police badge. More officers eventually came to the scene and helped handcuff and shackle Crowder. He was booked into Brevard County Jail Complex and later posted bond to be released. Flakka, which can be injected, snorted, smoked, swallowed or taken with other substances like marijuana, is usually made from the chemical alpha-PVP.

Marcus Copeland, 44, splashed out almost \u00a31million to complete the six- bedroomed eco house.

At Caernarfon Crown Court the former journalist, who was once named best mortgage broker in the Midlands and Wales, admitted two counts of fraud by lying to Abbey National about the profitability of his business to secure the \u00a3847,000 loan in March 2007. At an earlier hearing, he also pleaded guilty to five charges of deception after he used his position to inflate the salaries of five of his clients and help them obtain mortgages totalling \u00a3686,000. Jonathan Austin, defending, said Copeland maintained that all the customers knew he had boosted their wages when making the applications. The barrister added that none of the loans had ever been defaulted upon. \u2018All these mortgages proved to be affordable,\u2019 the barrister said. \u2018The obligations were met.\u2019 Recorder Gregory Bull QC bailed Copeland, of Deganwy, Llandudno, for sentencing later this year.

Imprisonment remains an option.\u2019 In November 2010 Copeland\u2019s home was featured in an article for Homebuilding and Renovating magazine and described as the \u2018quintessential self-build story \u2013 huge ambition matched by a hopelessly stretched budget, spiralling costs and immense stress.\u2019 He and his wife Yvonne, 44, spent a year trying to persuade a farmer to sell them an elevated plot of land in the picturesque village in Denbighshire for \u00a3250,000, before spending another \u00a3750,000 on the build. Spread out over three storeys, the house features two double garages, a home office, an open-plan kitchen, a dining and sitting area, a TV room terrace and a roof garden, all cut into a hillside overlooking the rolling Welsh countryside. Talking about the project, Copeland told the magazine: \u2018If I was to do it again, I\u2019d control my spending.

+{"article": "Children of the 1970s and 1980s will likely remember the chunky, plastic Fisher-Price magnets that adorned fridges in family homes. The popular toys were designed to help teach children to read and spell. But for some people, they had another unintended consequence; the magnets forever changed the colours that people would associate with letters. The child with the hood in this photo was born in 1988 and is an adult synesthete. His colour-letter pairings matched 25 of the 26 letters in the Fisher-Price magnet set, which is in the foreground . At least that's the conclusion of a study on synaesthesia - a neurological condition in which two or more senses experienced separately are involuntarily joined together. For instance, some synaesthetes experience colour when they hear sounds or read words. Others experience tastes, smells or shapes. It is believe that around one in 10,000 of people have synaesthesia, and scientists are still unsure exactly what causes some people to perceive two senses at the same time. A large amount of research, according to Discover magazine, has previously suggested the condition can be learned, rather than being the result of genetic factors. This graphic shows the results for 400 synesthetes with 10 or more letters matching the toy. The rows correspond to participants and columns to letters. The colours along the bottom represent the most frequently chosen colour label for each letter . The latest study adds to that body of work by suggesting the toy caused a generation to foreever link A with red, F with purple and P with green. Researchers from the Department of Psychology at Stanford University used data from 6,588 registered users to determine which colours are most commonly associated with which letters. They then compared these colour-letter matches to fridge magnets sold by Fisher-Price between 1971 and 1990.

Warren picked up his second booking of the competition in Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic \u2013 meaning automatic suspension for the season finale on May 30. But the central defender, who also missed last year's League Cup Final for the same reason, says either the threshold should be raised \u2013 or all cards should be wiped from the record for any show-piece final. Inverness defender Gary Warren will miss the Scottish Cup final after picking up his second yellow card . Warren was shown a yellow card for this challenge on Celtic's James Forrest (right) during the semi-final . 'Having two bookings (as the limit) in a cup competition is ridiculous,' said Warren. 'Especially being a defender, it means you can't tackle - and that's part and parcel of being a defender, making challenges, making interceptions, making blocks. 'To have something like that taken away from you is a little bit gutting. I think it should be looked at. They should either increase the number of bookings needed to get a suspension - or, if you get to the final, wipe it out completely. 'Then it's fair for everyone, every team that gets to the semi-final, whoever is booked knows it's a clean slate for the final.' Warren knew instantly that he'd miss the final when ref Steven McLean rightly showed him a yellow card for hauling back James Forrest. More annoying for the 30-year-old is that his previous booking in the competition came for dissent, as he explaining: 'That was my own fault gobbing off to a referee. That's disappointing because I should have kept my mouth shut. It was against Partick Thistle, that's me getting frustrated and being too gobby to the referee. 'That hurts the most because this one was a tackle and a foul but the first one was a very silly booking. I'm 30 years old and I should know better. 'When you come into this game you always think about it and wonder what if - but if you start allowing it to play on your mind then you're going to pull out of tackles. I won't do that. Warren feels that the rule to have players suspended for amassing just two yellows is 'ridiculous' Celtic's Adam Matthews (right) slides in with a challenge on Nick Ross (left) during the Scottish Cup semi-final . 'After missing last year's final, I'm gutted again. It's just lady luck. You take it on the chin and move on.'

Lowes, Industrie, Best & Less and the Just Group - which includes Just Jeans, Portmans and Dotti - were identified as some of the worst performing companies by The 2015 Australian Fashion Report. Amongst the best performers were Etiko, Audrey Blue, Cotton On, H&M and Zara. The report assessed the labour rights management systems of 59 companies and 219 brands operating in Australia. The 2015 Australian Fashion Report has named and shamed some of the worst Aussie clothing brands and companies for their ongoing exploitation of overseas workers . Amongst the best performers were Etiko, Audrey Blue, Cotton On, H&M and Zara . It found that only two of the companies could prove they were paying a full living wage to the workers in two of the three production stages of their clothing. None of the 59 companies could prove the workers at their raw material suppliers were paid a living wage. Unlike a country's legally set minimum wage, a living wage ensures that an employee has enough money to cover the necessities - like food, water, electricity and shelter - and still has a little left over for themselves and their dependants. In some countries like Bangladesh, where the minimum wage is as little as US$68 a month and a living wage is US$104, the difference can be made by paying each worker just an additional 30c per t-shirt. Lowes, Industrie, Best & Less and the Just Group - which includes Just Jeans, Portmans and Dotti - were identified as some of the worst performers . 'The whole point in our reporting scorecard is if these companies don't have rigours systems in place to mitigate against those risks then you can't be sure that there is no forced labour or child labour in their supply chain,' Gershon Nimbalker, an advocacy manager at Baptist World Aid, said . 'A mere 12 per cent of companies could demonstrate any action towards paying wages above the legal minimum, and even then, only for part of their supply chain,' the report states. 'Furthermore, 91 per cent of companies still don't know where all their cotton comes from and 75 per cent don't know the source of all their fabrics and inputs. 'If companies don't know how and where their products are made, then there's no way for them to ensure that their workers are protected.' Uzbekistan for instance, the world's fifth largest exporter of cotton, was notorious for its child labour policies which saw children as young as 10 forced to work in the fields until the government recently improved conditions by renouncing the use of child labour 'on a systematic basis'.

In an unusual twist of fate, described as a 'million to one shot', a young mother has given birth in the back of an ambulance for the second time in as many years after her baby boy was born on the same stretch of busy main road as his brother. Katrina Maddox, 23, pulled off the double against all the odds after having baby Edward on the way to hospital in the early hours of last Thursday. Her second little boy came along on the A47 in Norfolk two years after Mrs Maddox, of North Pickenham, near Swaffham, had her first child Reuben in exactly the same way. The surprised mother said: 'I can't believe it's happened twice! 'I can't imagine there are many people who have both their children like this - it must be a million to one.'

The toddler, who is now two, ended up being delivered by his dad, Peter Maddox, 30, in the back of the ambulance as they were driven through North Tuddenham.

During the week long trial the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claimed Leheup ignored her cries of 'no' and afterwards said: 'In my experience girls say no, but they don't mean it'. But following their deliberations a jury at Blackfriars Crown Court found the University of Greenwich graduate, a technical co-ordinator on the \u00a3500million Nine Elms Point Development not guilty of rape and sexual assault. The self-confessed first date addict had spent nearly a year on police bail before eventually being charged and appeared emotional, emitting a slight gasp, as he was cleared. Leheup told the jury they enjoyed a night-long date, which included wine and cocktails, with the young woman responding to his physical advances and allowing him to remove her bra in her bedroom so he could massage her back with oil. \u2018I noticed she had unusually saggy breasts, she seemed uncomfortable about that,' he told the jury. 'I tried to comfort her by kissing and touching them, then she freaked out.\u2019 He had fought back tears as he told jurors he never had sex with the young woman and didn't do anything she did not consent to. Leheup of Hersham, Surrey, revealed he was communicating with thirty-five woman at the time and regularly having sex with six of them, but stopped short with the complainant. 'She said: 'Stop' once and I turned to my side and started to go to sleep,' he told the jury. 'When girls have said nothing is going to happen, I've ended up having sex with them,' he added. The pair had met her just hours earlier on July 9, 2013, after the pair chatted on the 'Let's Date' mobile phone app. Leheup ended up returning to the woman's flat in the early hours of the morning after he missed his last train home. 'I told him nothing was going to happen, but he started to kiss me and I could tell he was naked,' the complainant told police, the court had heard. 'He took my clothes off and was on top of me and penetrated me and I was shouting: 'No' a lot, but he was not listening. Leheup appeared emotional after he was cleared of the charges following a week long trial at Blackfriars Crown Court . 'I was saying: 'No', but he thought it was a joke or something. Then maybe he realised I was serious and he calmed down. 'He said: 'Girl's say: 'No', but they don't mean it.' I just wanted him out.

In March, Nasa was able to capture this remarkable event from space during a process that was months in the making. The monster iceberg, larger than Manhattan, was spotted breaking away from West Antarctica's Getz Ice Shelf by the U.S. National Ice Center (NIC). Scroll down for video . Last month, Nasa captured a 17 miles (27km) long iceberg being born in the West Antarctica's Getz Ice Shelf. The image on the left shows the landscape before the iceberg broke three and on the right the monster berg floating in the ocean . Glaciers in the Amundsen Sea of west Antarctica are losing ice faster than anywhere else on the continent and are the largest contributors to the rise of sea levels. Measuring 17 miles (27km) long, iceberg B-34 appears to have fractured and moved out into in the Amundsen Sea sometime in mid- to late-February 2015, Nasa said. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (Modis) on Nasa's Terra and Aqua satellites took images spanning the calving event. B-34 is the 34th iceberg from the 'B' quadrant of Antarctica to be tracked by the NIC. The new berg is still smaller, however, than the much older B-15T- a fragment of B-15 that initially broke off from the Ross Ice Shelf in March 2000.

Glaciers in this region are losing ice faster than anywhere else on the continent and are the largest contributors to the rise of sea levels . Large icebergs can have large-scale impacts on the Southern Ocean. For example, as the bergs melt, the addition of cold, fresh water to the saltwater ocean can affect ocean currents and circulation. Researchers have shown, however, that even more fresh water comes from the melting of smaller and much more numerous bergs. The Amundsen Sea has long been thought to be the weakest ice sheet in the West Antarctic. A study published in December suggests the barren region is haemorrhaging ice at a rate triple that of a decade ago. Researchers believe that the melting of glaciers in West Antarctica, which contain enough water to raise sea levels by at least a metre, may be irreversible. The findings of the 21-year study by Nasa and the University of California, Irvine claim to provide the most accurate estimates yet of just how fast glaciers are melting in the Amundsen Sea Embayment. Scientists found the rate by taking radar, laser and satellite measurements of the glaciers' mass between 1992 and 2013.

And now research is under way to find out why, with scientists proposing that climate change may have caused the surge in numbers. Common dolphins were once a rare sight in the Hebrides, preferring warmer waters found further south, leading experts to believe that global warming has led to pods moving north. Encounters with common dolphins (a stock image is shown) off the west of Scotland have more than doubled over a decade, according to a leading research body. Monitoring by Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust teams has seen the number of encounters increase by 68 per cent over the past 12 years . Monitoring by Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust teams has seen the number of encounters with common dolphins increase by 68 per cent over the past 12 years. The dolphins come to the Hebrides in spring to take advantage of seasonal food stocks, travelling in large groups and sometimes forming \u2018super-pods\u2019 of thousands of individuals. The species, which are smaller than the area\u2019s resident bottlenose dolphins, often approach boats and play in the wake, the trust said. While they were once drawn to warmer waters above 10\u00b0C south of the area, climate change is causing sea surface temperatures in the Hebrides to rise by around 0.5 \u00b0C a decade. And warmer water species appear to be colonising new areas further north or closer to shore, the trust said. The dolphins are moving further north than they did decades ago, possibly because the water has become warmer. While the shift could create new feeding opportunities for the common dolphins, it could increase competition between other types of dolphin or seabirds. An Oystercatcher on the Isle of Mull is shown . The shift north could be creating new opportunities for the common dolphins to find food in new areas, but may mean the species is competing for fish with other types of dolphin or seabirds. Volunteers will live, work and sleep on Silurian research ship for up to 12 days. They will receiving training and work with scientists to conduct visual surveys, acoustic monitoring using specialist equipment, and cetacean identification through dorsal fin photography.

'Nuts, key ingredients in many of our snacks and one of the things that make fans love our bars, contain nutritious fats that exceed the amount allowed under the FDA\u2019s standard. 'This is similar to other foods that do not meet the standard for use of the term healthy, but are generally considered to be good for you like avocados, salmon and eggs.'. However, New York University nutritionist Marion Nestle told Today.com that said the problem is not nuts and it's the 'hidden' sugary ingredients that have to change. KIND Bar: Honey Smoked BBQ (40g) Calories: 230 . Fat: 16gm . Sodium:125mg . Protein: 10g . Snickers Bar (40g) Calories: 190 . Fat: 9gm . Sodium: 91mg . Protein: 3g . 'KIND bars are candy bars making health claims, and thereby marketing them as healthy snacks,' Nestle said. The four KIND bars highlighted in the FDA case include the Almond & Apricot, Almond & Coconut, Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew. On April 14 KIND posted a note on its website stating that it was 'moving quickly to comply' with the FDA's request. 'We're also taking it upon ourselves to conduct a thorough review of all of our snack food labels and website information to ensure that they're compliant,' the message continued. While labeling readjustments will be made to certain bars, KIND reassures fans that recipes will remain the same. It added: 'We couldn\u2019t be more proud of our snack foods and their nutritional benefits. 'Our entire line of delicious snacks made with high quality ingredients like whole grains, nuts and seeds will continue to be available wherever KIND is sold.' KIND bars, the brainchild of New York salesman Daniel Lubetzky, first hit the market in 2004. The clear-packaged snacks quickly became a hit with consumers and sales soared from $15 million in 2008 to nearly $120 million in 2012, according to Fortune.

And now experts believe they have finally discovered how the Rapa Nui people placed distinctive 'hats' made of red stone on top of some of the figures\u2019 heads, more than 700 years ago. They believe that the hats, or 'pukao', were rolled up ramps to reach the top of the figures which measure up to 40ft (12 metres) tall. Mystery solved? Experts believe they have finally discovered how the Rapa Nui people placed distinctive hats made of red stone on top of some of the Easter Island figures\u2019 heads, more than 700 years ago . Despite the size of the statues, Sean Hixon an undergraduate student in archaeology and geology at the University of Oregon, believes the rolling of the bulky stones would have been relatively easy. \u2018It seems like a relatively small number of people could have done it, either by levering or rolling,\u2019 he told the 80th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. This is despite the largest pukaos measuring six-and-a-half feet (two metres) in diameter and weighing 12 tonnes (1,890 stone). Some 1,000 carved Moai line the perimeter of the 12 mile (25km) volcanic island, which is the most isolated inhabited landmass on Earth with just 6,000 residents. A tall order: Physicists believe that the pukao, or 'hats,' were rolled up ramps to reach the top of the figures (examples are pictured left and right), some of which measure up to 40 ft (12 metres) tall . Remote: Some 1,000 carved Moai line the perimeter of the 12 mile (25km) volcanic island, which is the most isolated inhabited landmass on Earth with just 6,000 residents . The Moai are monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island, between 1,250 and 1,500 AD. All the figures have overly-large heads and are thought to be living faces of deified ancestors. The 887 statues gaze inland across the island with an average height of 13ft (four metres). All but 53 of the Moai were carved from tuff - compressed volcanic ash - and around 100 wear red pukao of scoria. In 1979 archaeologists said the statues were designed to hold coral eyes. The figures are believed to be symbol of authority and power. They may have embodied former chiefs and were repositories of spirits or 'mana'. They are positioned so that ancient ancestors watch over the villages, while seven look out to sea to help travellers find land. But it is a mystery as to how the vast carved stones were transported into position. The island is half the size of the Isle of Wight, or twice the size of Manhattan, and lies 2,236 miles (3,600km) west of the South American mainland. Since Europeans came to Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, in the 1700s, people have wondered how the vast carved stones were erected, complete with their 'hats'. Some experts believe the stones were walked into place, while others have suggested that locals chopped down trees to roll the statues into position,", "summary": "Rapa Nui people placed red stone 'hats' or pukao on some of the statues .

Jade and Aaron Badland asked an Asian family if they had Ebola and assaulted a Brazilian hotel employee, calling her a 'bloody foreigner'. The pair have been spared jail after a court heard that they were too drunk to remember what they had done at the Premier Inn at Stansted Airport. Assault: Aaron and Jade Badland have admitted assaulting a hotel worker after their wedding reception . Mr Badland, 24, a bomb disposal officer in the Engineering Regiment, was wearing his Army uniform during the drunken attack alongside his 29-year-old bride. Both newlyweds pleaded guilty to assault and were each ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work, while Mrs Badland was also found guilty of racially aggravated harassment. Chelmsford Magistrates' Court heard that the couple got married in Malta last August, but held their wedding reception at Audley End, Essex in November. Afterwards they were staying at the Stansted branch of Premier Inn, where American guest David La Plante saw them abusing an Asian family. He told the court: 'Around the corner by some lifts we heard talk and the wife was making derogatory remarks to the family, calling them foreigners and asking if they had the Ebola virus. 'I positioned myself between her and the family and gave her a look saying \"enough is enough\". She asked me if I had the Ebola virus and my response was, \"Do you?\" 'Her husband came around, wrapped her up and told her we were Americans and not to talk to us.' Venue: The assault took place at a branch of Premier Inn in Stansted Airport, pictured . Harry Coleman, prosecuting, told the court that the Badlands staggered to their hotel room but could not work out how to use the electronic key. They then confronted Brazilian worker Christina Periera, but Mr Badland became angry when she told them she would have to reprogramme the key in order to open their door. Mr Badland then told Mrs Pereira: 'It's my room, open the f***ing door - bloody foreigners coming to our country.' Mr Coleman said: 'Ms Periera was upset and said she was going down to call the police, and he hit her on the nose with his open palm and again twice more.'

I had a good few pints and some shots and don't remember anything about the incident because of the level of intoxication. I was very drunk.' Gareth Hunter, mitigating, said the couple were 'ashamed' and Mr Badland would be disciplined by the Army.

A church treasurer accused of murdering his wife deliberately veered his 4x4 off the M1 causing it to explode as it hit trees, a court heard today. Leicester Crown Court was told that two dogs and suitcases were also thrown out of the pick-up truck being driven by Ian Walters as it crashed into a line of trees near Markfield, Leicestershire. Yesterday the court was told that his wife, Tracy Walters, died after making a flurry of calls to police about sex-obsessed husband in the days leading up to the M1 crash, including one that morning. Prosecutors allege that Walters, a driving test examiner, deliberately steered his Mitsubishi L200 off the motorway after his wife said she wanted a divorce and made allegations of domestic abuse. Walters, 51, denies the murder of his wife, who died in hospital two days after the high-speed crash. A jury of nine women and three men was told yesterday that Walters, of Swindon, was returning home with his wife from a 'make-or-break' week away in North Yorkshire which ended in an argument. Giving evidence to the second day of Walters' trial, several witnesses described how passing motorists went to aid the couple, both trapped in the wreckage of the 4x4. The first witness, Robin Goss, told jurors the driver of the pick-up appeared to have made a 'conscious, deliberate' decision to steer towards the hard shoulder. Mr Goss, a 39-year-old training consultant from Buckinghamshire, told jurors he was up to 150 metres behind the L200, doing around 70mph in the inside lane. 'Everything was normal,' Mr Goss told the court. 'Then all of a sudden I saw this car just swerve violently across to the left. 'It completely disappeared and I remember looking into the hard shoulder. Then I saw what looked like a little explosion. 'Bits of tree and bits of plastic came out in front of me. When I saw the dogs, I started to put together what had happened.' Child protection worker Gary Donald, who was driving a Kia Picanto on the southbound carriageway, also gave evidence to the court about the crash on March 21 last year. He told jurors he saw the pick-up veer sharply from right to left - performing 'almost a straight turn' - and move towards a line of trees. The couple, who were said to have had a 'troubled' relationship, had married in Cyprus in 2012 but their relationship is alleged to have become abusive soon afterwards, jurors heard . 'The canopy of all the trees shook - I would use the word 'imploded' - and there was luggage, bits of car, and parts of tree flying into the air,' Mr Donald said.

The bright yellow advert for Protein World has been put up in a number of London Underground stations and features a model in a bikini with the question: 'Are you beach body ready?'. But the campaign, which promotes the brand's weight loss collection, has attracted the ire of many social media users and body image campaigners, with some of the posters even being defaced. Scroll down for video . More than 45,000 people have signed a petition calling for this controversial Protein World weight loss advertisement featuring a woman in a bikini to be pulled . A change.org petition calling for the removal of the adverts has now attracted more than 45,000 signatures, while critics of the billboard, unhappy at the insinuation that only those who resemble the model, 24-year-old Renee Somerfield, have the appropriate figures for the beach, have started a hashtag #everybodysready. Now Katie Hopkins has waded into the row, dubbing those who have been vandalising posters 'chubsters', and saying they should turn their efforts to exercising instead. Hopkins, who has been outspoken about weight in the past, tweeted: 'Chubsters, quit vandalising Protein World ads and get your a*** running on the road. Feminism isn\u2019t an excuse for being fat.

So, while there is not a lot to choose between them and Hazard is likely to get the most picks in this article, I am going for Cazorla. It's a personal choice. He is a wonderful footballer. I have paid to watch them both (and I will pay to watch them both again), but the little Spanish magician edges it for me. VERDICT: CAZORLA . Cazorla, pictured in action against Burnley, has been an influential part of Arsenal's midfield this season . Ian Ladyman . I remember when Manchester City baulked at paying Hazard's wages when the Belgian was up for grabs in 2012. Back then City thought the young forward had a rather high opinion of his own worth for a player who was yet to play in a major European league. In the early days of his time at Chelsea, it looked as though City may have been right. He showed flashes of brilliance but also looked rather too easy to push off the ball. Roll forward to 2015, however, and the 24-year-old has developed in to one of the most important players in the Barclays Premier League. Brave, strong and ambitious, Hazard plays on the front foot and with only one thought in this mind. Rather like Cristiano Ronaldo, he has also developed in to the type of player ever defender hates, simply because he gets back up every time he is knocked to the ground. He would get in every team in the Premier League and is one of the reasons Chelsea will win the title this season. VERDICT: HAZARD . Hazard controls the ball under pressure from Stoke midfielder Stephen Ireland at Stamford Bridge . Dominic King . It has to be Hazard. I saw him play for Lille twice in the season before he joined Chelsea \u2013 once against St Etienne, the other was what proved to be his final appearance against Nancy. He scored two in the first match, a hat-trick the latter and played a different game to those around him. He hasn't disappointed since arriving here and I love the nonchalance with which he takes a penalty, his low centre of gravity and the way he can bamboozle defenders.

In an IpsosMori survey of people standing for election, not one of Ed Miliband's Labour candidates named the deficit as an important issue facing the country . 35 per cent of Tories mentioned the deficit, 5% of Lib Dems and 9 per cent of those surveyed standing for the Scottish National Party .

But Boeing has issued a patent for a bizarre 'upright' sleeping support system that could mean economy passengers can sleep on long-haul flights too. Nicknamed the 'cuddle chair,' the somewhat comical idea could revolutionise the plane sleeping experience by eliminating the need for reclining seats at all. Boeing has just filed a patent for a 'transport vehicle upright sleep support system' known as a 'cuddle chair' It looks like a backpack and fastens to the back of the headrest to allow passengers to lean forward and rest their face and chest on the contraption. According to the patent for the 'Transport Vehicle Upright Sleep Support System,' and illustrative animated video from website PatentYogi, the head cushion will have a 'face relief aperture,' which is essentially a face-front pillow with a hole for breathing. The chest cushion supports the passenger's chest in a natural, forward-leaning motion, which will helpfully aid the traveller in a few precious minutes of shut-eye. Sleeping on a plane can be quite a feat - especially for those who don't have the money to splurge on business or first class seats. While some rely on a personal neck pillow, which is readily available to purchase in airports, Boeing's patent insists that the 'cuddle chair' is a far superior option. For those sitting in economy aircraft seats, the 'cuddle chair' offers a more natural way to get some sleep . The backpack will be located under the seat and straps will attach to the passenger's head rest . A 'face relief aperture,' or a face pillow with a hole for breathing, and chest cushion provide added support . The patent insists that this system is far superior to neck pillows due to sleep's 'natural horizontal tendency' Although a patent was filed, Boeing tells MailOnline Travel that no further information is currently available . According to the patent, the inflatable pillow is 'not a highly successful option due to the natural tendency of a sleeper to relax their muscles and fall to a more horizontal point.'

Greystone Park Psychiatric Center, in New Jersey, was built to house hundreds of mentally ill patients, but it eventually was home to more than 7,500 people. It has long been abandoned and has been left to fall into disarray, now known for its crumbling walls, flaking plaster and gaping holes in ceilings and staircases which has allowed some of the rooms to be filled with leaves and snow. Scroll down for video . A decaying asylum which has been left to fall into disarray, with broken and peeling doors and windows, is being demolished as preservationists battle to save it and claim the building should be turned into a museum and housing . Many of the once well populated corridors of the building have been abandoned as rubbish is seen on the floor and walls are flaking . However, despite the state of the interior of the building and its chequered past, preservationists are arguing that it should not be bulldozed and should instead be converted into a museum and housing. Demolition work recently began on the building but preservationists are still working to save the French Renaissance-style building, and the years of history contained within its walls. American folk singer Woody Guthrie, who wrote hundreds of songs and made famous recordings of Red River Valley and This Land is Your Land, was committed in 1956 with Huntington's Disease. The genetic disorder had blighted the life of his mother and made it difficult for him to walk, causing wild fluctuations in mood. Even as Guthrie was in his final years before he died in 1967, folk revivalists were basing a new scene on Guthrie's genius in New York's Greenwich Village. One of his visitors in Greystone Park was a 19-year-old Bob Dylan. Greystone Park became one of the largest asylums, housing 7,500 patients, and became known for high numbers of rapes and suicides . Despite its long forgotten rooms and flaking examples of architecture, the future of Greystone Park has been hotly contested . Due to its extremely large size, Greystone Park was once the largest building in the US, but was surpassed by the Pentagon . The interior of the building has been left to decay so badly, with windows and roofing blown out, it would be too expensive to restore it . But campaigners claim the French Renaissance-style building contains a lot of elements of history that should be preserved not destroyed . The centre was also once used as a filming location. Greystone opened in 1876 and became known for its reputation due to the number of patients that committed suicide, were raped, and became pregnant. It was opened to relieve pressure on a nearby facility and covers around 678,000 square feet .

Miss Sturgeon\u2019s latest offer came amid continued fallout from claims she told a French diplomat she wanted David Cameron to remain as Prime Minister. The report of the conversation, on February 26, between Miss Sturgeon and Sylvie Bermann, the French Ambassador, was contained within a Scotland Office memo leaked to the Daily Telegraph.

Researchers from Texas A&M School of Public Health found that hospitalizations from car crashes dropped 7 percent between 2003 and 20010 in the 45 states with texting bans when compared to states with no restrictions. The research report recently published in the American Journal of Public health could 'not prove' that a texting ban is what caused the critcal injury drop, though they said it was a likely cause. Most states: Most of the US has laws that ban drivers from texting while at the wheel to prevent accidents . Dangerous: Drivers between the ages of 25 and 40 are the most likely group of people to get in an accident related to texting and driving . Arizona, Texas, Montana, Missouri, and Oklahoma are the only five states in America that do not have texting at the wheel bans for all drivers. CBS reports that the study's leader Alva Ferdinand said that while it could not be proven that the lowered rate of hospitalization due to car accidents was caused by texting bans, the restrictions are still linked to a decline in crashes. Ferdinand said that the greatest benefit was seen in states where texting bans are strictly enforced and where an officer can stop a car just on suspicion the driver breaking the law. 'Some states have secondary enforcement,' Ferdinand explained. 'In those states, law enforcement has to catch you doing something else first -- like speeding or running a red light -- and then determine that you were texting.' The study also found that older drivers were more likely to make a texting and driving mistake than a younger driver. 'It's adults, too,' Ferdinand said. 'They're constantly checking emails and text messages.' Jonathan Adkins, executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), said that adults between the ages of 25 and 40 were most likely to get in a texting and driving accident. Slow reaction time: Texting at the wheel is dangerous for drivers because it slows down their reaction times . The research group found that texting bans caused a 9 per cent drop in car-crash hospitalizations among Americans aged 22 and older. Even though young people benefited from the texting ban, the drop in hospitalizations was not numerically significant. There is a lack in data on texting and driving but Adkins believes that as more studies show more results in favour of the ban, more states will be likely to implement it. Adkins said that drivers should avoid texting while at the wheel at all costs even if they consider themselves to be good multitaskers. 'It should push those states with weaker laws to strengthen them,' Adkins told CBS. Research shows that texting at the wheel may be dangerous because it slows reactions more than drink or drugs.

On Maundy Thursday, three days ago, around 150 Kenyans were killed because of being Christian.

How flexible our team has become, with a back 3, back 4 or back 5.' Lahm dissected the differences in approach between Guardiola and his predecessor, Jupp Heynckes, who masterminded a Bayern treble in 2013 before retiring from coaching. 'With Heynckes in 2013, in the big games we played quite defensive on the counter attack. Everybody worked together as a group, we invested a lot of energy in the games,' Lahm said. 'Now under Pep it's more tactical and we have more possession but not like previously when we had a lot of possession but we didn't have any clear scoring opportunities. 'The goal is to go forward and create scoring opportunities. To press very high. To win the ball back very quickly. But to do that you need a clear plan and the daily work on the pitch.'

He already has six Bundesliga winners medals, with a seventh seeming certain to follow with Munich ten points ahead of Wolfsburg with six games remaining.

Next step: Jailed millionaire Robert Durst has been absolved of state gun charges in Louisiana. He will now face federal charges, which lawyers believe he can win, before a murder trial in California . He was arrested at a hotel in the New Orleans capital in March a day before the finale of his HBO docu-series The Jinx. Authorities said he had a gun and marijuana in his room. Defense Attorney Dick DeGuerin said state and federal prosecutors had been discussing the possibility of the state case being dismissed. He says he was pleased with the decision. 'It makes sense to try this case in federal court because FBI agents arrested Mr. Durst, and there shouldn't be two prosecutions, state and federal, at the same time for the same crime,' DeGuerin said in an email.

Manchester City may have big plans to revamp the team in the summer, with Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri among the high-profile casualties, but what if Liverpool reel them in over the next six matches? City are four points clear and have a superior goal difference, which equates to five, yet undoubtedly they are vulnerable. For a team playing this poorly no run-in is easy and matches against the much-improved Aston Villa and even Queens Park Rangers can no longer be viewed with certainty. Yaya Toure (centre) has been a shadow of the player who fired Manchester City to last season's title . Manuel Pellegrini (second right) trudges off the pitch after Manchester City were beaten by Crystal Palace . Future opponents Swansea City and Southampton have little to play for \u2014 yet neither did Crystal Palace. The long-term plan is plain: Pep Guardiola, at his convenience, probably in 2016. Yet where will City be by then? An overhaul of playing personnel is due, but there has been scant evidence Manuel Pellegrini or director of football Txiki Begiristain are adept at identifying replacements. Eliaquim Mangala was supposed to be a different class to Joleon Lescott, but the Premier League\u2019s most expensive defender cannot command a place in the team; Stevan Jovetic is no Carlos Tevez; Fernando no great upgrade on Gareth Barry or Nigel de Jong. Toure is in obvious decline, but his influence on City\u2019s two title winning seasons was huge. Can Pellegrini and Begiristain be trusted to find a replacement capable of Toure\u2019s impact? Not on the evidence of their recent signings. Jesus Navas? Martin Demichelis? Even Fernandinho is not as good as he was at Shakhtar Donetsk. The powers that be at City are waiting for Pep Guardiola to leave Bayern Munich for Manchester . And what if City are caught and condemned to the Europa League? What happens to this lavish rebuilding plan then? Take away the Champions League money and City\u2019s financial capacity is not really much greater than Tottenham\u2019s. Pellegrini has performed weakly this season and keeping him on another year while marking time for Guardiola is a giant gamble. Roberto Mancini got City into the elite in the nick of time with the financial fair play regulations about to be introduced. Locked outside, City\u2019s capacity to improve would be severely limited.

'I don't think there's anything sad about this,' said Darby Hudd, a 17-year-old friend of the slain teen. 'It's such a celebration.' The slaying stunned people around Connecticut and especially in this shoreline city, where Sanchez is remembered as an outgoing person, active in drama and other school activities, who had a kind word for anyone she met. The event included a kickball tournament, bounce houses and a dunk tank, with proceeds benefiting a scholarship program created by Sanchez's mother. The day was bittersweet, with some exchanging long hugs, but organizers said they agreed with Sanchez's mother, Donna Cimarelli, that the community did not need another vigil. 'We've cried a lot in this town. If you knew Maren, she would have embraced an event like this,' said Elena Garet, whose daughter was friends with the teenager.

Fran Thompson, the high school principal, said students and faculty are still recovering from the loss of the beloved girl.

+{"article": "Ryan Bertrand believes he deserves to be higher up the England pecking order and has pledged to prove his worth to manager Roy Hodgson. The 25-year-old has been one of the standout performers for Southampton, where the left-back moved permanently earlier in the year having impressed on loan from Chelsea. Bertrand has attracted plenty of plaudits for his displays at St Mary's, yet struggled to gain the international recognition many of his colleagues have received. Ryan Bertrand was the fifth left back to be called in to Roy Hodgson's England squad last month . A call-up had been predicted for England's internationals against Lithuania and Italy last month, yet Hodgson plumped for Leighton Baines, Kieran Gibbs and Luke Shaw. Danny Rose was then preferred when Shaw pulled out, only for Bertrand to get the nod once the Tottenham full-back and then Baines dropped out. It meant the Saints left-back travelled to Italy and eventually played the final few minutes of the 1-1 draw in Turin, with his third England cap a peculiar end to the international break. 'It was different,' he said, smiling. 'The international break changed from one extreme to the next, but it was good to get back in the frame and get back in the door. 'It was good to get on the pitch, even though it was very brief. 'When you actually sit there, it hits you that all them years you spent as a kid watching football games, the England games were always the biggest. Bertrand slides in to challenge Everton midfielder James McCarthy earlier this month . 'To finally sit there and be part of it and wear the actual kit and everything, knowing the whole country is cheering you on is fantastic.' England are, in fairness, blessed with strength impressive depth at left-back, with West Ham's Aaron Cresswell another arguably worthy of a call-up. Bertrand appreciates that breadth of options, but hopes to prove to Hodgson that he deserves to be further up the pecking order. 'You know, it's down to (the manager),' he said. 'Whoever he wants to pick, it is his decision. 'I'll just concentrate on my game. I'm confident enough to know that I should be in there, but I don't pick the team so I'll just keep playing.' Bertrand was one of three Southampton players in action that night in Turin, with Nathaniel Clyne starting at right-back for England and Graziano Pelle leading the line for Italy. Bertrand made his move to Southampton from Chelsea permanent in January after impressing on loan . The 29-year-old striker showed no ill-effects of the scoring drought at club level, glancing the Azzurri ahead at the Juventus Stadium - a goal the striker followed up with a first Premier League strike since December 20 in Saturday's 2-0 defeat of Hull. 'I was just thinking it is typical - anyone, anyone but him,' Bertrand said, laughing. 'It was good for him to get a goal. 'The fans have been very supportive, I think.

A gunman has killed four people - including a judge and a witness - after going on a rampage at a Milan court where he was due to appear today accused of fraudulent bankruptcy. The defendant, Claudio Giardiello, 46, is said to have first killed his lawyer Lorenzo Alberto Claris Appiani, 37, and his co-defendant before shooting dead judge Fernando Ciampi in an act of revenge 'against those that ruined me'. Prosecutors said the attack was carried out with 'cold premeditation'. A fourth victim, understood to have been a witness, had no visible injuries and is thought to have died of a heart attack. Several other people suffered serious injuries in the attack, including Giardiello's former colleagues and accountant. After his killing spree, the gunman managed to evade police and fled the courthouse on his motorbike, reaching the town of Vimercate 15 miles from Milan before being arrested. Giardiello likely used a false ID pass to enter the court through a side door reserved for judges and lawyers, who are not obliged to have their belongings scanned by a metal detector, Milan public prosecutor Edmondo Bruto Liberati said. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said the attack 'a moment of great pain, of sadness' adding that it was 'unthinkable someone should be able to enter a court with a weapon.' He promised 'the government will shed the utmost light on the event' and described the police who had chased down and arrested the man as heroic. The gunman's attack began when he fired four or five rounds from multiple weapons at 11am.

+{"article": "A new sexual technique that aims to teach women how to 'expand the sweet spot' experienced during orgasm has swept into the UK. Orgasmic meditation, shortened to OM, is a practice that marries sex with mindfulness and, according to its founders, encourages 'connection, vitality and wellness' and 'cultivates a greater connection' between partners. The practice, which was founded by US entrepreneur Nicole Daedone, borrows much of its philosophy from yoga and meditation. Director of OneTaste, Justine Dawson (seated on the sofa), is shown guiding a couple through orgasmic meditation, which aims to teach couples how to enable women to orgasm more deeply . Orgasmic meditation involves the light stimulation of a woman's clitoris for 15 minutes without interruption . According to teachers of OM, it involves the light stimulation of a woman's clitoris for 15 minutes without interruption. The aim is not necessarily to orgasm but simply to 'feel' the sensation as intensely as possible. Usually practiced in pairs, there is a 'strokee' and a 'stroker'. OM-ing affects the same parts of the human brain as conventional meditation. Daedone first taught orgasmic meditation in the US in 2001 and since then the craze has spread around the world. There are currently over 10,000 practitioners worldwide and 2,000 in the UK alone. There are also 30 dedicated orgasmic meditation centres across the globe. OM can be led in classes or with an individual trainer, if those attending desire a more private setting. In the classes, which cost \u00a3195 for a seven-hour session, attendees can be couples or singles. The director of the US company OneTaste, which has brought the sessions to the UK via affiliate company TurnON Britain, says the demographic on classes are surprisingly mixed. Justine Dawson told FEMAIL: 'All kinds of people come to the courses - people in their 20s through their 70s and even into their 80s. She continues: '[It's a mixture of] Singles and couples. Some couples who have been together for a year, others for 30 years. There are all kinds of professional backgrounds - doctors, teachers, programmers, managers, artists, therapists. 'I would say that most people are 25-55, 70 per cent are single, 30 per cent are couples. All who come share a common desire to experience greater connection in their lives.' Your average Brit might find the thought of disrobing in front of others for such an intimate encounter mortifying but Dawson believes that most people can get over the embarrassment if they feel they're gaining a valuable experience. She says: 'When it comes to discussions of orgasm, relationship and connection, I believe that most people are shy. 'But people come to the class regardless, because they know that good things take practice and just like your health or career, it's worth putting time and effort into your sex and relationships, even if it means being a little uncomfortable!'

Bernard Laporte\u2019s stellar side didn\u2019t come to life until this dismal encounter went into extra-time and they were only galvanised once they had been reduced to 14 men, when Ali Williams was sin-binned for taking out Devin Toner in the air.

Leinster full back Rob Kearney beats Toulon flanker Juan Fernandez Lobbe to a high ball in the first-half . Instead of being undermined by the loss of the ex-All Blacks lock, Toulon scored the crucial points while he was off the field. Their victory was founded on the composed goal-kicking of their Welsh Lion at full-back, Leigh Halfpenny, who finished with 20 points from six penalties and a conversion. Leinster attempted to capitalise on their numerical advantage and it backfired in the 90th minute as Ian Madigan\u2019s long pass was intercepted by Bryan Habana and the Springbok wing stormed clear to for the game\u2019s only try. That the one fleeting flicker of creativity stemmed from an error was fitting. The Irish province wouldn\u2019t go quietly and when Sean O\u2019Brien went over from a close-range lineout drive, they were back in the hunt with five minutes remaining, but it wasn\u2019t to be. So, the climax of the new continental tournament will have a familiar feel. Toulon vs Clermont is an all-French repeat of the 2013 Heineken Cup Final in Dublin, which the Cote d\u2019Azur club won despite being dominated by Clermont for much of the game. Last year, they gave Jonny Wilkinson the perfect career sign-off with another triumph in Cardiff \u2013 where Saracens were dispatched \u2013 and now they are closing in on a hat-trick. But there was no swagger about them on Sunday, or any sustained power surges for that matter. It was unusually wet by the Mediterranean and the conditions made handling difficult, but that didn\u2019t account for the sheer deluge of fumbles made by both sides. As a showcase of Europe\u2019s elite event, this stop-start contest left much to be desired. For all the effort and commitment, there was no fluency or cohesion, no rhythm or flow.

+{"article": "Nico Rosberg feels he may have handed Lewis Hamilton a psychological advantage with his post-Chinese Grand Prix outburst. Rosberg, however, concedes he would not do anything differently under the circumstances that materialised at the Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday. To make a complaint about Hamilton's slow driving was understandable given the situation, but to turn on his Mercedes team-mate during the post-race media conference was a sign the Briton has got under Rosberg's skin. Nico Rosberg has claimed that team-mate Lewis Hamilton has the mental edge over him after his outburst . Damon Hill, the 1996 world champion, upon hearing Rosberg's comments remarked the German had shot himself in the foot by publicly airing his grievances. It was a sign of weakness from Rosberg, who on Thursday conceded he had probably provided Hamilton with additional psychological ammunition. 'Maybe, because I'm standing here and I have to answer all these questions,' said Rosberg in the middle of a barrage from the press ahead of this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix. 'But other than that, I would do it again because I felt the need to state the facts as there was a need to discuss things after that race. Everybody said that. 'That's it, I wouldn't do anything different, and except from being stood here in this room discussing it with you, it's a long time since I last discussed it. 'It's a thing of the past. I'm in Bahrain now and I'm here just to attack in a race car again. 'That's the best answer I can give, on the race track. I'm looking forward to it and that opportunity.' The British driver won the Chinese GP but came under fire from Rosberg for allegedly slowing on purpose . The matter was resolved in a post-race debrief involving the drivers and the team's top brass in motorsport boss Toto Wolff and executive technical director Paddy Lowe. But as to what would transpire should the same scenario occur again in the future, Rosberg said: 'It's so difficult because it's not a thing that's black or white. 'That's what makes all these scenarios difficult. Eventually, once the facts are analysed, there are still different opinions and it's going to be different from one race to the next.' Such a situation could become even more fluid should Ferrari manage to exert further pressure on Mercedes as the title race unfolds. Asked as to what the solution could be moving forward, the 29-year-old replied: 'It's always the same and it will not change. Damon Hill believes that Rosberg shot himself in the foot following his outburst about his Mercedes team-mate . 'It's an agreement we have when the team's one-two is under threat from another team then some management will be used to ensure that, and that might be at the disadvantage of one over the other. 'It becomes a team effort because we want to finish one-two and score the most possible points.

Monday, Rezaian's lawyer Leila Ahsan detailed the four serious offences her client faces, in a decision branded absurd Monday by the White House and the newspaper.

Rezaian, who was detained in July 2014, was officially charged in December, but details of the charges had never been released. Ahsan, who said she had access to the complete criminal file, said it contained 'no justifiable proof' against Rezaian, and that she had seen no legal reason to continue his detention after the case's preliminary investigation. But she said requests for bail had been turned down and criticised Iranian media for publishing allegations about Rezaian that are 'wrong and contrary to reality'. No date has yet been set for trial, Ahsan said, shortly after a senior judicial official described the dossier against the journalist, who holds both American and Iranian nationality, as 'thick'. Rezaian will face the allegations in one of the Islamic republic's revolutionary courts, whose jurisdiction includes handling crimes against national security.

+{"article": "Book of the week . NATURALISTS IN PARADISE: WALLACE , BATES AND SPRUCE IN THE AMAZON . By John Hemming . (Thames & Hudson \u00a319.95) Back in 1961 three young Oxford graduates set off to explore the Iriri river in a remote part of the Amazon. One of them, Richard Mason, became the last Englishman to be killed by an uncontacted tribe, when he was murdered with bows and arrows. The second, Kit Lambert, went on to manage The Who. But for the third, John Hemming, the trip was the beginning of a lifelong fascination with the region, and a distinguished career writing about it. Bird of paradise: A musician wren . More than 50 years on, that same fascination still shines out of every page of Naturalists In Paradise, the compelling story of an earlier trio of young British explorers. At first sight - and several subsequent ones - 'paradise' mightn't seem the obvious word to describe the Amazon basin in the mid 19th century. A huge anti-government uprising had destroyed much of whatever infrastructure there had been. River transport, the only kind available, still relied on getting the local Indians to do the paddling - or, when faced with waterfalls and rapids, the heavy lifting. Flooding could cause chunks of land, some of several acres, to come hurtling down the river, smashing everything in their way. And of course, there was a spectacular array of biting and stinging insects - including mosquitoes, which nobody had yet linked to malaria. Nonetheless, for naturalists as driven as Alfred Russel Wallace, Henry Bates and Richard Spruce, a paradise is exactly what the Amazon was. Even after being attacked by a particularly nasty species of wasp, Spruce wrote of his admiration for 'their beauty, ingenuity and heroic ferocity'. These days, the image of 19th-century British travellers is perhaps of public-school types airily bossing the natives about, possibly from a sedan chair. Well, not in this case - because Wallace, Bates and Spruce were all classic examples of Victorian self-improvement. None was from a rich family and none went to school beyond 14. All, however, soon set about the urgent task of educating themselves. At 15, Bates was working 13 hours a day, six days a week, as a hosiery apprentice. Fortunately, that didn't prevent him from learning Greek, Latin, French, Drawing and Composition at the local Mechanics' Institute in Leicester, or from developing a passion for natural history. Naturalist Richard Spruce . The young Wallace loved nothing better than to curl up with the poetry of Milton or Dante - until he discovered the joys of plant classification. Aged 17, Spruce carefully listed 403 species of plants near his Yorkshire home, before surrendering to the seemingly irresistible appeal of mosses and liverworts. When Wallace and Bates met in Leicester in 1844, apparently at the public library, they immediately realised they were kindred spirits. Four years later, still in their early 20s and having found a London agent to sell any specimens they sent back, they sailed to Brazil, which was already recognised as an", "summary": "Naturalists In Paradise tells the tale of an early trio of British explorers .

A Tory parliamentary candidate has sparked outrage after claiming mental health patients should wear coloured wristbands to flag up their conditions. Chamali Fernando, candidate for Cambridge, was speaking at a hustings event last night when she made the startling suggestion. She said wearing wristbands indicating a person's condition would help doctors, lawyers and police officers \u2013 because people suffering mental illnesses often struggled to explain themselves. Ms Fernando, a barrister for 12 years, said: 'Police, social services or hospitals dealing with people with conditions that affect their ability to communicate can decide they are being obstructive or evasive. 'They do not realise the person may have a mental health or other condition. The way they behave often affects the way they are treated. 'Carrying some kind of identification shows they have a particular condition so allowances can be made. 'There are also different ways of doing this without stigmatising the person, such as carrying a card with details of the condition but in some cases by wearing a coloured wristband.' Ms Fernando's 'shocking' suggestion was slammed by the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg today. Mr Clegg told MailOnline: 'The Liberal Democrats have spent many years campaigning for an end to the stigma around mental health. 'Silly ideas like making people suffering from mental health issues wear wristbands would only increase the discrimination and stigma around mental health, rather than end it.'

Mr Huppert said: 'I have fought hard for many years against the stigma people with mental health problems face. There is already far too much discrimination against mental health throughout our society, and a wristband saying 'I am depressed' is not going to help. 'We need to massively improve mental health support, which has been not good enough for many decades. I hope Chamali regrets her comments and will think carefully about her attitude to mental illness in the future.' Political blogger Richard Taylor reported Ms Fernando's comments at last night's hustings . The Conservative candidate insisted her remarks were 'distorted', adding: 'It was not that they should wear a wristband. That would be draconian' Ms Fernando has insisted that her comments were 'taken out of context'.

The 18-year-old striker came off the bench to score an impressive first goal of his senior career at Brentford on East Monday. It took him level with a Forest legend of the same surname: his dad Des, a scorer just once in 408 games for the club. Tyler Walker celebrates after scoring his first senior goal for Nottingham Forest away to Brentford . A source of mirth around the dinner table? Quite probably, although the younger Walker still has some way to go to match his father\u2019s feats.

The younger Walker could already have passed his tally had he done better than skew wide a glorious chance at Griffin Park. The 18-year-old attacker is son of former England and Nottingham Forest defender Des Walker . He seems the real deal though, not just daddy\u2019s boy made good through connections? That paternal link may have helped initially but since entering the Forest academy Tyler has proved his pedigree. He began the season in Jack Lester's Under-18 squad, and made a sizeable impression in January by firing a hat-trick against West Bromwich Albion in the FA Youth Cup fourth round. He progressed to Forest\u2019s Under-21s and scored seven goals in 13 starts, leading Freedman to take notice and offer a chance following injuries to Britt Assombalonga, Matty Fryatt and Dexter Blackstock. Walker made his debut in the final minute of Forest\u2019s 2-0 win over Rotherham on March 18, at the same age his dad did under Brian Clough 31 years earlier. Walker scored a goal of the highest quality as he twisted and turned before firing past David Button . Freedman presumably knows a good striker when he finds one\u2026 .

In response to the critique, President Zeman said Ambassador Schapiro is no longer welcome in the Prague Castle, the seat of presidency. Under attack: Czech President Milos Zeman was criticised by U.S. Ambassador Andrew Schapiro over his plans to attend the annual Victory Day parade in Moscow, despite the crisis in Ukraine . Much to the chagrin of President Zeman, the country's prime minister together with Czech lawmakers are siding with the American. 'I think that the reaction of President Zeman was not adequate,' Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka said. 'I would naturally welcome it if the attitude of Mr. President to foreign policy in general was a bit more professional,' Sobotka told the Czech public television on Monday. 'We should be able to communicate with our friends and allies,' Sobotka added. Parliament's lower house speaker, Jan Hamacek, said he thought Zeman was overreacting; the deputy speaker of Parliament's upper house, Premysl Sobotka, said Zeman demonstrated a lack of 'diplomatic thinking.' Harsh reaction: In response to the criticism, President Zeman has banned Ambassador Schapiro from visiting Prague Castle, the seat of presidency. Jan Mlejnek, an analyst, said Zeman's rhetoric was unfortunate and will harm Czech-U.S. relations. In an emailed statement from the U.S. embassy, Shapiro said 'it would be unfortunate for President Zeman to be there as perhaps? the only EU head of state.' Zeman, whose is critical of European Union sanctions against Russia, said he wanted to honor Soviet soldiers who sacrificed their lives to liberate his country in World War II. The Czech presidency is a largely ceremonial post and the government is in charge of foreign policy. Sobotka said he accepted Zeman's explanation for the trip. Shapiro said he regretted that President Zeman felt offended. 'I value a good working relationship with everyone, and I want him to know that my door will be open to him,'? Shapiro said. 'I also want the Czech people to know that the United States government, and the people of America, value our relationship as partners and allies more than ever.'

Rhiannon Wilkinson, head of Wycombe Abbey in Buckinghamshire reportedly said that a 'boy free' environment stops girls from being held back by the opposite sex, who are known to mature slower. She also suggested that single-sex boarding schools give pupils relief and protection from the 'highly sexualised world' and allow them to 'remain girls for longer.' 'My wide educational experience in both mixed and girls' schools has shown me clearly that girls are best served educationally in their teenage years in a boy-free work environment,' she said according to the Telegraph. Rhiannon Wilkinson, the head of Wycombe Abbey in Buckinghamshire, pictured, claims a 'boy free' environment allows teenage girls to focus on their work . She added: 'In co-ed environments lots of girls when adolescence kicks want to be liked by boys not just for their intelligence and want to be popular with boys. But she said in all girl environments pupils are 'free from that,' according to the Telegraph. Two years ago Scientists at Newcastle University found that girls really do mature faster than boys. They discovered that as the brain matures it begins to 'prune' information that is stored and focus on what is important. Tony Little, head at Eton College, has previously said that single sex schools allow children to retain their 'innocence' For girls this can happen as early as 10 years old, but for boys it can take until between 15 and 20 for the same. Tony Little, the head of Eton College, has also spoken of the benefits of single sex schools. He said they allow children to retain their 'innocence' and be 'themselves' for longer.

To be 'boyish' for longer, to be young girls,' he said, according to the BBC. Boys could also benefit from being taught separately. Statistics have shown that boys often lag behind girls at both GCSE and A-level and are much less likely to apply to university. Alun Jones, the first male president of the Girls' Schools Association, has previously called for teenage boys to be taught in single sex classes in state schools. Mr Jones, who is also a schools inspector, said: 'If you have a very bright, very driven, very focused, very articulate lady, which a lot of girls are, that intimidates a boy in the classroom, especially boys of average ability.

City entertain the Hammers at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday with speculation over Pellegrini\u2019s future mounting after a difficult season and a run of six defeats in their last eight games. But Allardyce believes the pressure of going for back-to-back Barclays Premier League titles, plus the introduction of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, have made the Chilean\u2019s job the hardest in world football.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce believes Pellegrini has the most difficult job in football . \u2018The hardest thing to do in the game is win the title back-to-back,\u2019 Allardyce said. \u2018It\u2019s hard enough winning it in the first place but going back-to-back has always been that bit more difficult. \u2018On the basis of a lot of the conversations I\u2019ve had with Sir Alex (Ferguson) over the years in terms of the motivation of the squad, the hardest part of the job is the season after, to try and do back-to-back victories in a very difficult league. \u2018They\u2019ve found it difficult to raise themselves to that level again consistently.\u2019 UEFA imposed a \u00a349million fine on City as well as restrictions on their squad and transfer spending after they failed to comply with the new FFP rules, and Allardyce says the potential sanctions put even more pressure on managers. The champions spent a combined \u00a344m on Porto pair Eliaquim Mangala and Fernando last summer in a move that has been largely unsuccessful \u2013 talk that has brought more scrutiny on Pellegrini. \u2018Everybody will look at what Financial Fair Play is going to bring to us in the next few years,\u2019 Allardyce said. \u2018That\u2019s halting their spending power. \u2018We all have to get a bit more shrewd with our spending and the players that we bring in and make fewer mistakes now than ever before because of that financial restriction.

If he\u2019s proven himself last year, in his first year, then maybe the owners will stick with him and revamp the squad rather than changing him. That\u2019s the way forward. \u2018But my only concern is us trying to make life very difficult for them on Sunday and to continue trying to win.\u2019 West Ham are without Diafra Sakho on Sunday with a thigh injury, but Allardyce said he could make it back before the end of the season after it was initially feared he would miss the rest of the campaign.

Scientists have developed a device that clips onto the smartphone and could even eventually be used at home. Their device uses the powerful cameras available now on most smartphones in combination with tiny beads that bind to cancerous cells. Scroll down for video . The graphic above shows how a blood sample can be mixed with microbeads that bind to cancerous cells (labelled A). When these are placed in a clip on module (B) that attaches to a iPhone camera (C) the microbeads produce distinctive diffraction patterns when they clump around a diseased cell (top right) When added to a tissue or blood sample, these microbeads bind to any cancerous cells in the sample, changing the way light passes through it. Using a smartphone app, these images can then be sent to a central computer for analysis and then the result returned in less than 45 minutes. A tissue sample taken from a biopsy or blood from a simple finger prick is mixed with microbeads labelled with specific antibodies. This mixture is then placed on a slide that is inserted into a module that can clip onto the camera of a smartphone. An LED at the back of the module illuminates the sample on the slide and lens in the module magnifies the image, which is then captured using the camera on the phone. The scientists used an iPhone 4S in their tests meaning an 8MP camera is enough. When clumped around a cell, the beads alter the way the light is scattered by the sample. They produce distinctive diffraction patterns in in the image if clumped together. The user can send this image to a central computer for analysis. The researchers claim it can asses 100,000 cells from a single image in around 45 minutes. The researchers say each test costs around \u00a31.20 ($1.80). The scientists behind the device, based at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, say it can even return results within two minutes. They have already tested their device to detect cervical cancer in tissue samples obtained during smear tests. However, they say the system - known as digital diffraction diagnosis or D3 - can be adapted to screen for other types of cancers and they have already begun a trial testing for lymphoma. Professor Ralph Weissleder, a system's biologist at Harvard Medical School who led the work, said it could even be used to help diagnose infectious diseases like HIV, TB and Ebola. Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Professor Weissleder and his colleagues said: 'We envisage that these advances will position D3 as a versatile screening tool for various cancer types (eg cervix, breast ad lymphoma) and infectious diseases (eg Ebola, HIV and tuberculosis) with applications in field work, mobile clinics and home care settings.'

People walking along Somerton Beach, southwest of Adelaide, found a deceased fully-clothed man aged about 45 lying on the shore on December 1, 1948. A post-mortem determined that the man had died of poisoning but police and coronial investigations were unable to identify the body due to several factors including that the poison used to kill him was undetectable. The mystery of a dead man's body washed up on a beach 67 years ago may be solved thanks to the technological advances in DNA testing . The Persian phrase 'ended' was scrawled on the scrap of paper and the discovery of a secret code and a woman's telephone number in the book where the paper came from . Even a handwritten note found hidden in the pocket of a man's trousers did not provide any clues to the identity of the body - in fact it left experts even more puzzled. The Persian phrase 'ended' was scrawled on the scrap of paper and the discovery of a secret code and a woman's telephone number in the book where the paper came from. Adelaide University Professor Derek Abbott said there was 'a good chance' of identifying the body if South Australian Attorney-General, John Rau, agreed to exhuming the remains, which are buried at an Adelaide cemetery. 'Even with a body of that age, I think we will be able to get something,' he told The Adelaide Advertiser. In October 2011, Mr Rau rejected an exhumation to go ahead because he said it did not exceed 'public curiosity or broad scientific interest'. 'If circumstances existed ... that would warrant my considering an exhumation it would be considered, however, those circumstances don't exist and never have,' he said. American forensic genealogist Colleen Fitzpatrick, who was in Adelaide yesterday as part of an expert panel discussing the Somerton Man, said she could take the body's DNA code and search ethnicity markers using data across 50 countries to find the man's origin. 'Yes, the man is dead and at peace, hopefully, but there also may be family looking for him,' Dr Fitzpatrick said.

As the election campaign slowed to mark the Easter weekend, the Prime Minister hailed the work of the Church and condemned the persecution of Christians following the massacre in Kenya. Mr Cameron's praise for the Church comes after he criticised bishops for a controversial election letter calling for a 'fresh moral vision of the kind of country we want to be' which was widely seen as an attack on the Coalition's welfare cuts. Scroll down for video . David Cameron feeds orphaned lambs on Dean Lane farm near the village of Chadlington in the Cotswolds . Mr Cameron took a break from the campaign trail to visit the orphaned lambs in the nearby farm in his constituency . Mr Cameron was taken t visit the lambs with farmer Julian Tustian at Dean Lane farm just outside the village of Chadlington . The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev Justin Welby, has condemned certain welfare reforms as part of a series of interventions by church leaders raising concerns about the shape of the economy. In his video message the Prime Minister, who has defended the right of the Church to intervene in political debate, said Easter was ' time to reflect on the part that Christianity plays in our national life'. 'The Church is not just a collection of beautiful old buildings; it is a living, active force doing great works across our country,' he said. 'When people are homeless, the Church is there with hot meals and shelter. When people are addicted or in debt; when people are suffering, or grieving - the Church is there.' 'Across Britain, Christians don't just talk about 'loving thy neighbour', they live it out ... in faith schools, in prisons, in community groups. 'And it's for all these reasons that we should feel proud to say: this is a Christian country. 'Yes, we are a nation that embraces, welcomes and accepts all faiths and none but we are still a Christian country.' Prime Minister David Cameron said Easter was 'time to reflect on the part that Christianity plays' in the UK . The PM, whose severely disabled son Ivan died in 2009, said that he knew ' from the most difficult times in my own life, that the kindness of the church can be a huge comfort'. The slaughter at Garissa University College in Kenya, where al Qaida-affiliated al-Shabab gunmen specifically sought out and killed Christian students, has been condemned by the Pope and other leaders as they mark Easter. 'We have a duty to speak out about the persecution of Christians around the world too,' Mr Cameron said. 'It is truly shocking to know that in 2015, there are still Christians being threatened, tortured - even killed - because of their faith... 'I n the coming months, we must continue to speak as one voice for freedom of belief. 'So this Easter, we should keep in our thoughts all those Christians facing persecution abroad", "summary": "Prime Minister hailed charity work of the Church across the country .

Scroll down and you'll eventually find your first female face: none other than Barbie, 'CEO Barbie' to be precise, a doll which first appeared in the Eighties, dressed in a miniskirt and clutching a briefcase. The image of Barbie is the 96th result on the page, and ironically comes from a 2005 spoof article courtesy of The Onion that jokingly states 'women don't run companies'. Spot the stereotype! Barbie is the 96th image to come up on Google Images when you enter the search term 'CEO', after rows and rows of grinning suit-clad men . Several high-powered women, including women's right campaigner Chelsea Clinton, have re-tweeted the results of the search, which is being seen by many as a sad reflection on the general state of women in the workplace. Google, like other search engines, generates images based on a knot of complex algorithms related to file names and key words. The more 'popular' and relevant an image is, the higher up the ranks it will move. After Barbie, the next female - and the first human one - you'll find upon searching Google Images for 'CEO' doesn't pop up until several lines more of men, and is Jessica Herrin, CEO of a jewellery company called Stella & Dot. Incidentally, a new study from the University of Washington recently found that results like these are indeed contributing to gender bias, and perpetuating outdated views on women in the workplace. Shining example? The image (pictured) is of 'CEO Barbie', a doll which first appeared in the 80s, dressed in a miniskirt and clutching a briefcase . Noted: Chelsea Clinton was one of the many high-powered women to retweet the results of the search .

Earlier this year, it was determined by the Professional Boards Forum\u2019s BoardWatch that for the first time ever, the proportion of women on FTSE 500 boards in the UK had reached 20 per cent. Of the images returned by Google from a 'CEO' search, only 11 per cent were of women. And unlike most scenarios concerning gender inequality, nothing is to blame here but a set of internet algorithms.

Moments before he announced the verdict on Monday, he asked loved ones who might be prone to outbursts to leave the courtroom, fearing there would be an emotionally-charged response . The victim's brother Martinez Sutton then screamed: 'You want me to be quiet? This m***** f***** killed my sister!' Not guilty: Cook County Judge Dennis Porter, cleared 46-year-old Officer Dante Servin (left) who shot Rekia Boyd, 22, (right) dead in Chicago in March 2012 . She was gunned down on March 21 as she stood with friends outside a property in Chicago's Lawndale neighbourhood. According to James Montgomery the family's lawyer, Servin pulled up to the group in an unmarked vehicle and told them to 'shut up'. Boyd was standing with her friend Antonio Cross, who reached into his waistband, pretending he had a gun, and charged at Servin, the court heard. She died after one of the five bullets from Servin's unregistered Glock handgun pierced the left side of her head. Servin has maintained he fired only because he felt threatened when he confronted a group at a park about the noise they were making. According to The Chicago Sun Times, Porter said in his ruling: 'Illinois courts have consistently held that when the defendant intends to fire a gun, points it in the general direction of his or her intended victim, and shoots, such conduct is not merely reckless and does not warrant an involuntary-manslaughter instruction, regardless of the defendant's assertion that he or she did not intend to kill anyone. He added: 'The absence of any evidence of reckless conduct renders it unnecessary for this court to consider whether the defendant was justified in his actions.' Porter also cleared Servin, who was off-duty, of reckless discharge of a firearm and reckless conduct. The cop told reporters when he left the courtroom that justice had been served. He said: 'I always maintained it was an accident what occurred to Miss Boyd. 'Miss Boyd and her family, they have my deepest sympathies.

Testimony is expected to wrap up next week to determine if he can move in permanently with his mother, but it could be months before US District Judge Paul Friedman renders a decision. Prosecutor Colleen Kennedy has argued that the provisions suggested for expanded release were inadequate for a would-be presidential assassin. Hinckley also has written to killers Ted Bundy and Charles Manson, and in January he deceived doctors about where he was going when he was away from St. Elizabeths, she said.

But his siblings, who both live in Dallas, said the value of their mother's retirement fund and home totaled about $500,000, and vowed to support him financially. During a 2011 hearing, prosecutors argued Hinckley repeatedly engaged in deception when away from the hospital. Secret Service agents saw him browsing books on Reagan and on other presidential assassins in 2011 instead of going to a movie, as he had told doctors he would.

A mother-of-five has been convicted of killing her newborn baby girl by filling her mouth with toilet paper and hiding her body in a suitcase. Claudia Martins gave birth alone at her sister's flat having kept her pregnancy secret from her family and friends. Paramedics were called after the 33-year-old, a Portuguese national, was found sitting in the bath with 'a lot of blood' and she was taken to hospital. Earlier she had killed the infant by stuffing toilet paper down its throat. She then wrapped the baby girl in towels and a plastic bag and hid the body in a suitcase - where it lay undiscovered for three days. Martins was acquitted by a jury of a single charge of murder but convicted of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility. During her trial at Bristol Crown Court the jury was told she gave birth alone at her sister's flat in Knowle, Bristol on September 12 last year. Adam Vaitilingam QC, prosecuting, said: 'She told no-one of her pregnancy and gave birth in as secretive a way as she could, for someone living in a crowded flat, and kept the fact of that birth secret from all those around her and closest to her, including her sister. 'She placed the body of the baby in a suitcase, hidden from anyone. 'No doubt, we suggest she intended to dispose of it but was prevented from doing so by the arrival of the paramedics, who took her off to hospital.' Two days later, her sister Vilma raised the alarm after noticing a smell coming from a suitcase in the defendant's bedroom. Police were called to the flat and discovered the body of a newborn baby inside Martins' small, black suitcase, on September 15. Martins, described as having an extremely low IQ, was arrested and admitted she had given birth but said the baby was stillborn. A post-mortem examination found a wad of toilet paper inside the baby's mouth, which experts claim was 'deliberately inserted'. The jury heard Martins is originally from Mozambique in Africa but moved to Portugal before settling in Bristol in 2011, living in a two-bedroom flat with her sister Vilma Marshall, Ms Marshall's partner, and five children. Giving evidence, Martins told the court: 'I did not kill my daughter. I did not put tissue paper in her throat. I didn't kill her. No, I did not kill my daughter.' Mr Justice Teare remanded Martins, of Marshall Walk, Knowle, Bristol into custody to await the preparation of reports. She will be sentenced at a later date. Detective Inspector Neil Meade, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: 'The death of a baby is always a tragedy but the unique circumstances make this a particularly emotive case for everyone involved.

A Spanish expert, Dr Celia Sanchez-Ramos, has found the LED screens found in most electronic devices can harm the retina - the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye - and may even lead to partial blindness. Research has already shown that the intense levels of 'blue light' emitted from modern gadgets can cause a variety of health complaints, ranging from sleeping and eating problems to headaches and even cancer. Scroll down for video . LED screens found in most electronic devices such as iPhones and tablets can harm the retina - the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye - and may even lead to partial blindness, a doctor has warned . Now, Dr Sanchez-Ramos has discovered that it can also permanently damage the retina. In extreme cases, she says, it may even lead to macular degeneration, which causes dark patches to appear in the centre of the field of vision. According to Dr Sanchez-Ramos, modern LED screens, produced from about 2007 onwards, emit up to five times as much blue light as older technology. This matches my own experience, in which pre-2007 screens tend not to cause discomfort. The average adult now spends up to eight-and-a-half hours in front of a screen every day, and it is not uncommon to be exposed to multiple screens at once. For these reasons, says Dr Sanchez-Ramos, who is based at Complutense University in Madrid, the majority of people are likely to be in the danger zone. Children and the elderly are most at risk on account of their delicate eyes, as well as 'digital workers' and those - like me - who are especially sensitive to blue light. Dr Sanchez-Ramos (pictured) said: 'Never before in human history have we exposed our eyes to light that is so intense, for such long periods, from such an early age' 'Never before in human history have we exposed our eyes to light that is so intense, for such long periods, from such an early age,' she says. 'People who suffer from eye strain are like the canaries in the mineshaft, as they are aware of the damage being done. But it can affect anybody.' The damage, she explains, starts when the photoreceptors - types of neurone found in the retina that convert light into information - begin to die out due to the prolonged saturation of blue light. This puts strain on other parts of the eye, leading to increasing levels of inflammation, discomfort and pain. Eventually, the concentration of blue light in the centre of the retina, an area known as the macula, may cause it to be permanently damaged, leading to visual disorders. However the problem can be remedied by using special screen filters or glasses designed to block blue light, which are available through opticians. Daniel Hardiman-McCartney, clinical adviser at the College of Optometrists, says: 'It has been proven that intense", "summary": "Key culprit is the LED screens found in most electronic devices .

The 14-storey booster manages to hit the barge, but its high speed and tilt causes it to explode on impact. Scroll down for video . SpaceX has released dramatic footage of its third attempt to land a rocket booster on a drone barge in the Atlantic Ocean . The maneuver was attempted following the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket a few minutes earlier from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Soon after the launch, billionaire SpaceX founder, Elon Musk, tweeted: 'Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival.' Landing the rocket upright was always going to be tricky. SpaceX once compared it to balancing a broomstick on your hand. The autonomous spaceport drone ship is 300ft by 100ft (90 by 30 metres), with wings that extend its width to 170ft (50 metres). Musk had put 50-50 odds on the attempt being successful and said that improvements to the design would happen throughout the year. The video, taken from a plane yesterday, shows the the Falcon 9 booster lowering itself onto the platform, before a gust of wind sways it to one side . The booster manages to hit the barge, but its high speed and tilt creates a huge explosion on impact . United Launch Alliance has unveiled radical plans to launch a reusable rocket named 'Vulcan' in 2019. Vulcan will use new engines, mid-air recovery and a new upper stage aimed at enabling complex on-orbit manoeuvres. The company appears to have timed the announcement to overshadow SpaceX' launch of Falcon 9, which today hoped to prove that reusable rockets are viable. The aim of both SpaceX and ULA is to end US dependence on Russian-built rocket engines, but the technology has so far proven difficult. ULA's plan is to skip returning the whole booster, an approach favoured by rival SpaceX. It hopes to separate the engines after launch, inflate a heat shield around them and dispatch a helicopter to nab them mid-air. Despite being destroyed, the booster's flyback marks another step in the company's quest to develop rockets that can be refurbished and reflown, potentially slashing launch costs. 'This might change completely how we approach transportation to space,' SpaceX Vice President Hans Koenigsman told reporters during a prelaunch press conference. The Falcon 9 is on now its way to deliver 4,300lb (1,950 kg) of food, clothing and science experiments to the ISS - including an eagerly awaited espresso machine for astronauts. The supplies should arrive the six space station astronauts on Friday. The rocket was was due to take off yesterday, but the launch was scrubbed due to bad weather.

Revenge: Former Ole Miss star Marshall Henderson jumped on the revelations Jarret Stoll (right) was arrested in a drugs bust last week by tweeting to Erin Andrews: 'lol wassup with your boyfriend.' He was suspended in 2013 for allegedly failing a drugs test. Andrews responded to the news then by saying: 'He mocking anyone now?' She was referencing his reputation of being a hothead and badmouthing other players. Henderson responded with the message: 'ima save that and you will be the first person ill mock.' He has waited two years to get his revenge. On Monday TMZ sports reported that the athlete was trying to smuggle over three grams of cocaine and over eight grams of MDMA by hiding them in his board shorts. Stoll was previously in the news for non-sports related reasons back in 2013 when he was rushed to the hospital after having a seizure at his home in Hermosa Beach, California during the offseason, with the Kings later saying they did not know what caused the incident. His reaction came two years after the TV reporter said: 'He mocking anyone now?' after he was suspended for failing a drugs test.

The charges include possession of Class 1, 2, 3 and 4 controlled substances, including cocaine and ecstasy.

+{"article": "Teachers can judge the behaviour of black students more harshly than while pupils, new research has suggested. A study by researchers at Stanford University examined the reaction of secondary and primary school teachers in the United States to student race. They found that the teachers were more likely to view youngsters who they thought were black as troublemakers than those they thought were white. Teachers tend to see black pupils as more likely to cause trouble in the future if they have misbehaved in the past, according to new research that attempted to examine the impact of racial stereotypes in US schools . The researchers say this may go someway towards explaining why black children are often disciplined more at schools compared to other pupils. Professor Jennifer Eberhardt, a psychologist at Stanford University, said: 'The fact that black children are disproportionately disciplined in school is behind dispute. 'What is less clear is why. We see that stereotypes not only can be used to allow people to interpret a specific behavior in isolation, but also stereotypes can heighten our sensitivity to behavioral patterns across time. Some of the world\u2019s most troubling times, which have included periods of intense racism, have occurred during economic downturns. And now a new study has found that people really do have a tendency to become more racist during a recession. Researchers found that faces seem \u2018blacker\u2019 and have stronger racial features during an economic downturn, and this in turn increases the likelihood of discrimination. The study by New York University claims that conditions of \u2018resource scarcity\u2019 alter people\u2019s perception of race. Their work follows a study last year, which suggested racism is on the rise in the UK, fuelled by financial strife. In four experiments, involving 285 non-black Americans, scientists David Amodio and Amy Krosch found people see faces different during an economic downturn. 'This pattern sensitivity is especially relevant in the schooling context.' In their study, which is published in the journal Psychological Science, Professor Eberhardt and her colleagues presented teachers with fictional school records. These records described two instances of misbehaviour by a student. The teachers were asked about their perception of the severity, how irritated that misbehaviour would make them and how the student should be punished. They were also asked whether they saw the student as a troublemaker and if they could imagine themselves suspending that pupil in the future. The researchers randomly assigned names to the student records, in some cases suggesting the student was black with names like Deshawn or Darnell and in others suggesting they were white with names like Greg or Jake. The researchers found that racial stereotypes had little impact on the teachers' views of the pupils after one infraction. However, the second piece of misbehaviour was seen as 'more troubling' when committed by a black student rather than a white one. The researchers examined the views of both primary and secondary school teachers to see if their opinions of fictional pupils were altered by racial stereotypes and found they tended to judge black students more harshly .

A teacher who fled the U.S. with his stepdaughter and her mother ten years ago has finally given himself up in Costa Rica. Scott Kelley, now 50, and stepdaughter Mary Nunes, now 19, gave surrendered at the U.S. embassy on Monday and were flown back to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport, where Kelley was arrested. The pair fled New Hampshire in 2004 along with Genevieve Kelley, Mary's mother, during a custody dispute with Mark Nunes, Genevieve's former husband and Mary's father. Genevieve, now 50, handed herself in last November, but refused to give up the location of her husband and daughter, who had not been seen for a decade until this week. Speaking to People magazine, Scott Kelley said: 'It was time to come home.' He is now facing a charge of custodial interference, the same charge his wife is due to face in court next month. Kelley's case dates back to December 2004 when Mark Nunes, a physician, was granted custody of daughter Mary, then eight, to take her for treatment for an unspecified illness. However, Genevieve, also a physician, refused to hand the girl over, instead taking her to Colorado for a second opinion, where a doctor diagnosed her with acute post traumatic stress disorder. While in Colorado, Genevieve alleged that Mr Nunes had sexually abused the girl, and then fled to South America along with current husband Scott. The state Division of Children, Youth and Families investigated and said any claims of abuse were 'unfounded,' and instead concluded that Genevieve instead likely abused the girl. Charges were never brought, however, because by that point the Kelleys, along with Mary Nunes, had already vanished. Mary Nunes, disappeared when she was aged 8 (left), and is now aged 19 (digitally aged version, right). The Kelleys fled after Mark Nunes, Mary's biological father, was granted custody of his daughter in 2004 . Genevieve (pictured) refused to hand her daughter over to Mr Nunes, and took the girl first to Colorado, then boarded a flight to South America and was not seen again for a decade . Despite well-publicized searches of the U.S., Canada, and South America, and dozens of other appeals, there was no sign of the family until February last year. Shortly after Mary turned 18, and was therefore no longer subject to the family court, Genevieve made contact with the authorities, but refused to come forward. Then, on Monday, November 13, she finally appeared, saying she needed medical treatment for a son she gave birth to with Scott while she was in hiding. But despite pressure from officials, and pleas from her former husband, she refused to reveal the location of Mary, or husband Scott, saying only that the girl was safe. Then, on Monday, officials were alerted that Scott and Mary had come forward after the pair went to the U.S. Department of State office in Costa Rica to get travel documents to return home.

The president and former actor went off-script during a peace summit in Geneva in the 1980s to ask the Soviet leader for his support in the event of an invasion from extra terrestrial life. Reagan repeated the warning when he spoke to a group of students, and his subsequent speeches were examined by his advisers to remove any mention of aliens in them. Ronald Reagan (right) met Mikhail Gorbachev (left) for the first time at a peace summit in Geneva, Switzerland in 1985 and asked for his support in the event of an alien invasion . The warning was revealed in a book about UFOs by Dr David Clarke, which examines the extent to which Americans believed in stories about aliens. He suggests his words may show that Reagan, who was inspired by science fiction movies, saw there could have been a threat from aliens. The President is believed to have become an avid science fiction fan while working in Hollywood as a B movie actor and was said to be addicted to films like The Day the Earth Stood Still and Close Encounters. He confessed his favourite story was 'the invasion from outer space that prompts earthlings to put aside nationalistic quarrels and band together to fight the alien invader'. Reagan even arranged a private screening of Stephen Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind at the Whitehouse in 1982 for top judges, astronauts and other VIPs. In 1985 he went a step further and directly addressed Gorbachev at a summit to ask for his support in the event aliens were to invade. Ronald Reagan asked Mikhail Gorbachev for support fighting a future alien invasion at a peace summit . 'He surprised Gorby by saying he was sure the two superpowers would co-operate if Earth was threatened by alien invasion,' Dr Clarke said. 'Taken aback, the Soviet leader politely changed the subject.' Reagan apparently then told his inner circle he felt he had 'scored a point' over his counterpart. Deputy national security adviser Colin Powell was said to be horrified by the mention of aliens at the meeting. He then found Reagan repeated the story to a group of Maryland high school students after his return to the US in 1985. Powell's solution was to go through the President's public speeches deleting 'interplanetary references' right until Reagan's final months in office. Dr Clarke said that at any mention of an alien invasion Powell would roll his eyes and say 'Here come the Little Green Men again.' The book suggests Reagan was secretly appalled by nuclear weapons and his approach to Gorbachev may have been inspired by the 1951 movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still. In the film, an interplanetary peace-keeping force lands on earth using an invincible giant robot to force the warring nuclear powers to put aside their differences. Dr Clarke said: 'For a generation that lived in fear of the bomb, this message of salvation from the stars, delivered by technological", "summary": "Ronald Reagan asked Mikhail Gorbachev for help with aliens at summit .

According to scientists, sugar consumption can suppress the hormone cortisol, which is released into the body when we are experiencing stress. Researchers in the US examined the effects of sweetened drinks on 19 women aged between 18 and 40. Half the group were given sugary drinks at breakfast, lunch and dinner over 12 days, while the other half had drinks made with the artificial sweetener aspartame. The volunteers were instructed not to consume other sugary drinks, including fruit juice, outside these times. Before and after the study period, the women were given a difficult maths test and then underwent MRI scans to measure the response of their brains to stress. Saliva samples were also used to measure levels of cortisol, which is made by the adrenal glands. The women who had been drinking sugary beverages released less cortisol during the maths test than those given the artificially sweetened drinks. Dr Kevin Laugero, one of the researchers at the University of California, Davis, said: \u2018This is the first evidence that high sugar consumption \u2013 but not aspartame \u2013 may relieve stress in humans.\u2019 Finding: Scientists at the University of California, Davis (above) said the women who had been drinking sugary beverages released less cortisol during the maths test than those given the artificially sweetened drinks .

Dr Laugero, whose findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, warned that chronic stress could prompt people to make a habit of consuming too much sugar, which is not recommended due to its links to health problems. He said: \u2018The concern is that psychological or emotional stress could trigger the habitual overconsumption of sugar and amplify sugar\u2019s detrimental health effects, including obesity.\u2019 In the US, more than a third of adults and about a sixth of children are obese, with sugar-laden fizzy drinks and fruit juice partly to blame.

Attorneys for 42-year-old David Serbeck on Monday told the Utah Court of Appeals that Serbeck's original lawyers should have pushed harder to exclude or dispute allegations tying his 2007 relationship with the 17-year-old victim to his shooting. Two years after he had sex with the 17-year-old, Serbeck was shot and paralyzed in July 2009 by Reginald Campos, who suspected Serbeck of aggressively following his daughter in an SUV while patrolling their Buffdale neighborhood. Campos' daughter and the 17-year-old victim were not the same girl. Motion: Attorneys for 42-year-old David Serbeck, pictured in court in 2010, are asking an appeals court in Utah to either throw out his sex with a minor conviction or sentence . Serbeck (left) was shot and left paralyzed by the teenage victim's angry father, Reggie Campos (right) in July 2009 after the girl told Campos that Serbeck was aggressively stalking her . In March 2012, Serbeck was found guilty of three felony counts of unlawful sex with a minor and sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. His victim testified during the trial that she was 17 when she and Serbeck had sex three times in his Magna home in 2007. The girl visited him under the guise of playing with his pet snakes. Defense claims: Serbeck's attorney says the jury gave her client a long sentence after being led to believe that Serbeck was shot while out looking for more girls to exploit . The illicit affair came to an abrupt end when a friend discovered nude pictures on the teen's phone and told her parents. Serbeck staunchly denied the accusations, saying the teen, now 24, had a crush on him and wanted to impress her friends. Now, his defense team wants a new sentence for Serbeck, arguing that during the trial his attorneys failed to push back against claims that he was stalking other girls in July 2009 when he was shot and left paralyzed. Attorney Nathalie Skibine told the appeals justices that her client never got the chance to deny allegations of stalking and sex with other minors during his original trial, reported Deseret News. She also argued that the jury gave her client a long sentence after being led to believe that Serbeck was shot while out looking for more girls to exploit, even though he was never charged with any crime in connection to that incident. Prosecutors countered by saying that it was not the implication that Serbeck was on the hunt for more victims that got him the longer sentence, but rather, as the judge put it during his sentencing, his failure to 'own up' to his actions. \u2018He has no remorse, he denies it and he considers himself the victim,\u2019 Utah Attorney General Jeffrey Gray told the court Monday.

'But to be honest I'm not sure there's one sticking out at the moment. The boy Neymar gets a lot of publicity about the potential he's got, but I think that's still to be seen, still to be fulfilled. 'Certainly, most people I speak to speak highly of the boy. When I had Anderson at United, he spoke volumes about the boy's ability.

Cathleen Hackney allegedly told two different funeral directors that there were no objections, including from her former spouse, to her son being cremated after his death. As a result no-one attended the early morning cremation of Paul Moreland in December 2010 after it happened without his father's knowledge, jurors heard. Hackney, 56, is said to have deliberately 'pressed ahead' with her plans, despite knowing her ex, Paul Barber, would have objected. Cathleen Hackney, 56, is on trial at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, pictured, in relation to the cremation of her son . Deborah Gould, prosecuting, opened the case against Hackney for jurors on the first day of her trial at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court. 'This is an unusual and very sad case which involves the Cremations Act 1902,' she said. 'In a nutshell, the Crown's case is that the defendant told two different funeral directors, at two different times, that there were no objections from anyone, including Mr Barber, to her son being cremated and also signed two forms to the same effect. 'The Crown says that the first time she did this she simply didn't know whether Mr Barber objected to the cremation or not, as she hadn't bothered to ask.' Ms Gould alleged that by the time Hackney signed a second form she knew Mr Barber objected to any funeral which would involve the disposal of their son's body, unless he knew the details of where and when it was to take place. But, the court heard, the defendant went ahead with the cremation despite Mr Barber's disapproval being made clear to her by his solicitors. Hackney, 56, denies one offence of making a false representation to procure the burning of human remains, and two counts of signing false certificates ahead of her son's funeral. Jurors were told that Mr Moreland was just 32-years-old when he died in hospital on November 11, 2010, from a long-standing health condition. His parents went through an 'acrimonious' divorce in 1983, but subsequent contact relating to their son was described in court as being marred by dispute and conflict. Hackney, who registered her son's death, is alleged to have instructed an undertaker on November 12, that Mr Barber was to have no involvement with any of the funeral arrangements. By November 15, the defendant is said to have been adamant that she did not want Mr Barber to attend the funeral, which was originally set for November 24. At one point amid mediation involving lawyers, Hackney, the Crown claims, met an undertaker and signed a form stating that no near relatives were unaware of the proposed cremation. But an undertaker then became 'troubled' and told Hackney he could not continue with the arrangements, leading her to dispense with his services. It is alleged she then went to another funeral firm and signed the second form on December 15, booking a cremation for her son's remains on December 20. During her opening speech, Miss Gould said", "summary": "Cathleen Hackney accused of lying to undertakers ahead of cremation .

If it matters that much to them to have their name on the poster or Michael Buffer read their name out before the fight then I don't have a problem with that either.

The families of two teenage girls killed by a train at a level crossing have been shut out of a meeting where they planned to challenge Network Rail bosses over their bonuses and passenger safety. Olivia Bazlinton, 13, and Charlotte Thompson, 14, died when an express train hit them at Elsenham station, Essex, in December 2005 as they set off on a Christmas shopping trip. The friends had been using the station\u2019s unlocked footpath crossing to catch a service to Cambridge when they were struck by a through train bound for Stansted Airport. An inquest returned verdicts of accidental death \u2013 but it later emerged that crucial safety reports had not been disclosed to the coroner, leading to allegations of a cover-up. Network Rail was subsequently convicted of criminal negligence and fined \u00a31 million over the deaths. However, campaigners say too many dangerous crossings still exist in rural areas \u2013 despite a Network Rail closure programme \u2013 and that \u2018excessive\u2019 bonus payments to executives totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds are not justified. The girls\u2019 parents had planned to raise their concerns at a meeting in London last week organised by Network Rail\u2019s Public Members, a watchdog whose role is to hold the taxpayer-funded body to account. However, their request to attend was turned down. Last night the girls\u2019 fathers, Chris Bazlinton and Reg Thompson, said in a statement: \u2018Bonus payments were made to Network Rail executives even after failures in regard to safety at level crossings, resulting in many deaths, including those of our daughters. \u2018We had hoped that Members would challenge Network Rail on these issues and ensure action to improve safety at level crossings is speeded up. The Network Rail governance structure is seriously flawed and not fit for purpose.\u2019 Network Rail, which receives a \u00a34 million annual subsidy from the taxpayer, does not have shareholders. Instead, its activities are scrutinised by a panel of about 30 individuals, appointed by independent assessors for three-year terms.

Ashley Madison, an online dating agency, is betting on Europe's relaxed attitude to boost its investment when it lists shares on the stock market in London later this year.

Ashley Madison, a Canadian online dating agency which boasts 'life is short, have an affair', is targeting British investors for stock shares because of the UK's supposed 'laissez faire' attitude to extra-marital affairs . With more than 34 million members worldwide, Ashley Madison claims to be the world's second-largest dating website. Only Match.com is bigger. Despite being happily married himself, father-of-two Mr Biderman, who was born in Canada, claims infidelity can actually save relationships and believes people 'use affairs to preserve their marriage'. He is a self-made multi-millionaire having successfully launched the company in Toronto before rolling it out in other major nations. Avid Life Media, the parent company of Ashley Madison, values itself at \u00a3669million ($1 billion) and had a reported revenue of \u00a377million ($115 million) in 2014 alone - up 45 percent from the preceding year. Mr Biderman believes the website is such a success because it gives members the 'perfect affair' - helping them cheat on their partner with like-minded people and reducing their chances of getting caught in the act. He now wants to raise up to \u00a3135million ($200 million) by listing shares for Ashley Madison in London this year, to help continue its growth worldwide. It comes five years after a lack of investor appetite caused it to pull an attempt to list in Canada. Avid Life Media has 1.2million customers in the UK and 35million worldwide but was forced to scrap a flotation in Toronto in 2010 after investors weren't convinced to buy in. Mr Biderman came up with the idea for Ashley Madison in the 1990s when he was working as a sports attorney. He said he realised there was a space in the market for the site after watching stars arrange affairs . Mr Biderman claims to have been happily married to his wife Amanda for 10 years and the pair have two sons . The company hopes success in London will help it fund a launch of its services in Russia, Ukraine and the Baltic states in late May or June.

+{"article": "A green-skinned figure in a medieval manuscript may look very familiar to Star Wars fans. The ink illustration appears to show the Jedi knight Yoda on the pages of a religious document. But in fact, the drawing is part of a bizarre representation of the Biblical story of Samson, one expert claims. A green-tinged cloaked figure in a medieval manuscript (pictured) bears more than a little resemblance to Yoda from the Star Wars films, but is in fact a part of a strange representation of the Biblical story of Samson . The drawing shows a cloaked creature with long, spiky hands and protruding pointy ears - just like the fantasy character. \u2018The Yoda image comes from a 14th century manuscript known as the Smithfield Decretals,\u2019 British Library curator Julian Harrison told MailOnline. \u2018I'd love to say that it really was Yoda, or was drawn by a medieval time traveller, but it's actually an illustration to the biblical story of Samson \u2014 the artist clearly had a vivid imagination!\u2019 the curator of the museum\u2019s medieval manuscripts blog said. The Yoda like image comes from a 14th-century manuscript known as the Smithfield Decretals. A model of the popular Star Wars character is shown . According to the biblical account, Samson was given supernatural strength by God in order to combat his enemies and perform heroic acts such as killing a lion, slaying an entire army with only the jawbone of an ass and destroying a pagan temple. But he had two vulnerabilities - his attraction to untrustworthy women and his hair, without which he became weak and powerless. These vulnerabilities ultimately proved fatal for him in the story of Samson and Delilah. However, it\u2019s not clear which character \u2018Yoda\u2019 is meant to be in the tale. Dr Harrison said it is simply a whimsical addition to the page, which also includes other strange human-animal hybrids. The manuscript that appears to bear the sci-fi character\u2019s image is also known as the \u2018Decretals of Gregory IX with gloss of Bernard of Parma\u2019 and was painstakingly written and illustrated in France between 1300 and 1340, NPR reported. So the biblical character, or \u2018Yoda\u2019 made his appearance in a collection of papal letters and church decrees in the precious volume, which can be viewed in its entirely online. It also includes a bizarre image of a rabbit shooting a leaping dog with a bow and arrow. No-one is suggesting that the image of Yoda influenced the popular films in any way, but according to Star Wars folklore, Yoda is 900 years old \u2013 in the films shot in the late 1970s. So if it were him in shown in the book, it would have been a \u2018portrait\u2019 drawn when the character was approximately 260 years old.

That bigamy hearing was put on hold with the annulment announcement. U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson (right) and his wife Lolita (left, in an undated picture) agreed to annul their 24-year marriage in Florida on Tuesday . Lolita Grayson's attorney refused to comment after the hearing.

However, Mrs Grayson claimed she divorced Carson in Guam in 1981, and she also disputes that she was divorced in Broward County. Alan Grayson's attorney said they were close to reaching a settlement. 'It means there was never a legal marriage. It basically invalidates it,' said Mark NeJame, Grayson's attorney. 'There was a ceremony, but it turns out you can't be married to two people at the same time.' Besides bigamy allegations, there were mutual allegations of battery, accusations by Lolita Grayson of financial abandonment by the congressman and a trial delay caused by Lolita Grayson's leaking breast implants. Lolita Grayson is a stay-at-home mother. Court papers put Alan Grayson's worth at $31 million. He was an attorney before going to Congress. Last year, Lolita Grayson was granted a restraining order against the congressman after she alleged that Alan Grayson, 56, pushed her against the front door of their home when he stopped by the house.

A six-month-old baby died with traces of cocaine in her stomach despite her drug-user parents being reported to social services five times. Small amounts of painkiller and anti-depressant drugs were also found in the infant, known as Mary, who died suddenly in 2013, after a lengthy stay in Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool. Now a review released today has called for a host of lessons to be learned after several agencies fell short in sharing information that could have highlighted the baby's vulnerability. According to a report, Mary's family, who lived in Liverpool, were well-known to social services and had been reported five times amid concerns of alcohol abuse, domestic violence and child neglect. A school had also raised concerns about the way other children in the family were being brought up. Mary was the youngest child in a family of four children born to a mother aged 30 and a father aged 33. At the time of her death, her siblings were one, eight and 10. Her parents came to the attention of social care unit Careline five times between 2008 and 2012.

Mary was born 12 weeks early at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in January 2013 and was diagnosed with a number of medical conditions, including a heart murmur. She was kept in hospital for three months during which time there were 'several consecutive days' in which she had no contact with her parents. After she was discharged from hospital and into her parents' care, a number of community nurse follow-up visits were scheduled. But the nurse was unable to get access to the family despite visiting them three times in one week. A fourth visit was successful but later appointments were not kept. A day before Mary died in July 2013, a health visitor went to the home but was stopped at the door. A post-mortem revealed the presence 'at very low levels' of cocaine, tramadol and mirtazapine (an anti-depressant) in her stomach. Police also found empty beer cans, drugs and a syringe on the premises and her mother admitted to the police that she used cocaine and cannabis in the home.

Australian umpire Steve Davis reprimands England's Ben Stokes after he exchanged words with Marlon Samuels . Stokes went wicketless in 32 overs in the first Test, even throwing away a dismissal for the second time by overstepping, and ended up in a strident Twitter debate with his critics. Here he slipped on the greasy outfield and twisted his body in a manner that had anyone who saw Simon Jones suffer serious injury in Brisbane in 2002 holding their breath. Thankfully Stokes was able to continue after treatment but was still feeling the injury when he came on to bowl, with England battling for the wickets they desperately needed to justify Alastair Cook\u2019s decision to insert West Indies. It clearly did not hinder him. Stokes struck with his second ball, forcing Shiv Chanderpaul to steer loosely to point and open the door for England to take command of this Test and the series.

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.

'She wondered if she was really shot and was going to die.'

They also ran checks on all the teacher to make sure none of them had concealed weapons permits, should they decide to fight back. The two masked 'intruders' stormed a room where several teachers had gathered. 'It was shocking,' teacher Dollie Beck admitted at the time, but 'it heightened my awareness about what's around me.'

+{"article": "Since it was revealed that Andreas Lubitz \u2013 the co-pilot who purposefully crashed Germanwings Flight 9525, killing 150 people \u2013 had been treated for psychiatric illness, a debate has ensued over whether privacy laws regarding medical records should be less strict when it comes to professions that carry special responsibilities. It has been widely argued that Germany's privacy laws were to blame for the tragedy. The Times, for example, ran an article with the headline: 'German obsession with privacy let killer pilot fly.' Similarly, another article published in TIME said: 'German privacy laws let pilot 'hide' his illness from employers.' While Dirk Fischer, German lawmaker and the transport spokesman for the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), called for airlines to have mandatory access to pilots' medical records, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, president of the German Medical Association (B\u00c4K), disagreed. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, who purposefully crashed Germanwings Flight 9525, killing 150 people, had been treated for a psychiatric illness, it later emerged. The discovery sparked a debate over whether airlines should be given greater access to pilots' medical records . Mr Montgomery believes that current laws are appropriate, since aviation doctors are already relieved of their duties of confidentiality if they think a pilot could put other people's lives at risk. If Lubitz's doctor did not alert Germanwings, it must have been because Lubitz did not seem like a threat. There are two arguments for why Lubitz's doctor did the right thing by not disclosing Lubitz's depression to his employer. First, functional doctor-patient relationships depend on trust. If confidentiality between patients and doctors is breached, patients will no longer trust their doctors. And a lack of trust will lead (at least some) patients to hide some of their symptoms or refrain from seeking medical attention altogether for fear of bad consequences, such as stigmatisation and work-related penalties. More dangerous than a pilot with a mental illness \u2013 or any number of other professions that carry the responsibility of a great many lives \u2013 is that one with a mental illness who will not seek treatment because he does not trust his doctor. For these reasons, philosopher Kenneth Kipnis goes even further. The passenger jet crashed in Seyne-les-Alpes, France while en route from Barcalona to Dusseldorf. All 150 people on board were killed on impact . He argues that confidentiality should be 'far closer to an absolute obligation that it has generally taken to be' and that doctors should honour confidentiality even in cases where the patient might harm a third party. If patients come to doctors for help, doctors have a chance at avoiding a possible catastrophe. Strict German privacy laws which prevented doctors treating Andreas Lubitz from telling his airline about his 'suicidal tendencies' were introduced as a consequence of the Nazis. The Germanwings pilot had been forced to stop his training because of severe depression and had received psychotherapy for several years before last week's Alps disaster. But German law meant it was left entirely up to him to volunteer his mental health problems to his employer, something he failed to do with", "summary": "Andreas Lubitz crashed Germanwings Flight 9525 into the French Alps, killing himself as well as the other 149 people on board the flight .

But those two left-backs who came before him at Valencia are in sides that allow them to play at times as auxiliary wingers \u2013 one at Barca and the other for Pep Guardiola at Bayern. There would be more defensive duties in England and he would be tested in the air. He has plenty of spring and good technique but at just 5ft 7ins it is not his strong point. Basically, you\u2019re saying he can\u2019t defend\u2026 . No, not at all.

He is also tenacious in the tackle \u2013 and aggressive enough to come out on top against bigger players. And he is 19 so a coach such as Mourinho would be able to improve him defensively.

Much like the aforementioned Bernat and Alba, and Liverpool\u2019s Alberto Moreno, he grew up playing as a winger before gradually been moved back to full-back. He\u2019s not just an overlapper, he\u2019s very good off of both feet and can make runs inside to play through-balls or shoot. He also played as central striker before being moved wide and as an 11-year-old whose idol was David Villa, he scored 60 goals one season in Valencia\u2019s academy. Spain already seem to be well-stocked at left-back so will he make it to the senior first team? He has represented his country at every level since under-16s and has tended to benefit every time Juan Bernat has moved up an age category, stepping into his place. He is currently first choice for the Under-21s. Of course at senior level everyone stops moving up and as good as he is it will be hard for him to shift Alba and Bernat ahead of France 2016. Gaya slides in on Atletico Madrid midfielder Arda Turan during last month's match in Madrid . Does he want to leave Valencia? He has supported the club all his life. Hour-long trips from his home in Alicante to train with them since age 11 have helped ingrain that affection but there is a reason", "summary": "Gaya has been linked with a number of big clubs in Spain and England .

+{"article": "An amazing map revealed by Nasa has shown where lightning occurs most on Earth. The map reveals average yearly counts of lightning flashes per square kilometre from 1995 to 2013. And the results show that the highest amounts of lightning flashes occur in the far eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Lake Maracaibo in northwestern Venezuela. Scroll down for video . The map above shows the average yearly counts of lightning flashes per square kilometer from 1995 to 2013. Areas with the fewest number of flashes each year are grey and purple; areas with the largest number of lightning flashes - as many as 150 per year per square kilometer (0.4 square miles) - are bright pink. The Democratic Republic of Congo was found to have the most over the period . The map was created using data from Nasa\u2019s Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite, and the Orbview-1/Microlab satellite. In the map, the areas with the largest number of flashes - up to 150 per year per square kilometre (0.4 square miles) - are shown in bright pink. The areas with the least are grey and purple. According to the satellite observations, lightning occurs more often over land than it does over oceans. And it also seems to happen more often closer to the equator. The higher frequency over land is because solid earth absorbs sunlight and heats up faster than water, so there is greater atmospheric instability - leading to the formation of storms. And Nasa\u2019s Dr Daniel Cecil, a member of the Global Hydrology and Climate Centre\u2019s lightning team, said the data also shows interesting trends. According to the satellite observations, lightning occurs more often over land than it does over oceans. Shown here is a passing storm over the African countryside with forked lightning on 10 October 2013 . The higher frequency over land is because solid earth absorbs sunlight and heats up faster than water, so there is greater atmospheric instability - leading to the formation of storms. Shown is a storm hitting the city of Tripoli in Libya . Researchers have found that regardless of where you are in the world, lightning bolts are at their most powerful at 8am. This is because there are fewer particles in the atmosphere overnight, so it takes a more powerful charge to overcome the extra distance between these particles and release the bolt of power. For example, a large number of flashes were seen during the month of May in the Brahmaputra Valley of far eastern India. The heating and weather patterns are unstable and changeable at that time-just before the onset of the monsoon, which brings plenty of rain but much less lightning. In contrast, locations in Central Africa and Northwestern South America have large amounts of lightning throughout the entire year. Dr Cecil noted that more years of data has not necessarily brought notable big-picture differences when compared to earlier maps. \u2018The longer record allows us to more confidently identify some of these finer details,' he said. 'We can examine seasonality, and variability through the day and year-to-year.\u2019", "summary": "A Nasa map has revealed which parts of the world experience the most flashes of lightning ever year .

+{"article": "A recent college graduate diagnosed with genital herpes is stepping into the limelight in attempt to destigmatize STIs. Ella Dawson, a recent graduate of Wesleyan University who resides in New York City, was diagnosed with herpes two years ago and says she's been dropping the 'herpes bomb' about six months after she had her first outbreak. In her essay for Women's Health Mag, Dawson recalls meeting a boy at a party who offered her a sip of his beer. I have herpes: Ella Dawson has genital herpes and she is sharing her story so that less people with the virus can feel the guilt and shame that sometimes accompanies the common skin condition . 'Don\u2019t worry,' she remembers him saying. 'I don\u2019t have herpes or anything.' His words hit a sore spot for her and she felt compelled to share her sexual health status. '\"That\u2019s funny,\u2019 I said, with as warm a smile as I could manage. \u2018Yeah, that\u2019s really funny. Because I have genital herpes.\u2019 His face crumbled. Not because I grossed him out \u2014 I could practically see the wheels turning in his brain as he realized he\u2019d made an ignorant joke at someone else\u2019s expense. The guy started apologizing profusely,\"' she wrote in her essay. Dawson said that even though herpes is often the bud of the joke in popular culture, it's a real issue affecting at least one in six Americans. Dawson said that she felt empowered after telling someone she had herpes because it humanized the STI in a way that made it less of a stigma. 'I had seen in the flesh what a simple \"I have herpes\" could do when said fearlessly, without shame,' she wrote. 'Because when a real person \u2014 a woman you know and respect \u2014 casually mentions having herpes, it stops being a punchline and starts being someone's reality.' Don't strain: Dawson says that people who have herpes should not feel 'dirty or wrong' and should be aware that the virus is manageable and more common than people would expect . According to the CDC about 17 per cent of people ages 14-19 have genital herpes caused by HSV2. That percentage is only of people who choose to get tested and the actual number of people who have the virus is likely much higher. Even having sex with a condom does not protect someone from the highly contagious virus that only needs skin to skin contact to spread, even if there are no sores present. The Washington Post reports that according to an advocacy group called Project Accept Herpes didn't become a stigma until after the 1970s. '[Herpes] was merely a cold sore in an unusual place until the 1970s,' the group says on their web site. Dr. Peter Anthony Leone, medical director of the North Carolina HIV/STD Prevention and Control Branch told The Washington Post that the stigmatization of the virus was fueled by conservatives after the 'free love era.'

Disappeared: David King, 70, had been missing for six months from his home in Normandy, France . Carole Etienne, the Caen prosecutor, said: 'He admitted there was an argument, and to putting the body in the well. In the coming hours we will try to learn more about what caused the death.' Ms Etienne added: 'We're no longer following a missing person's enquiry, but one for manslaughter because of the presence of unusual clues. 'Inconsistent explanations' and DNA analysis all led investigators to 'suspect someone in connection with a killing', said Ms Etienne. 'He has not yet explained the circumstances of the death,' said Ms Etienne. I have the before, I have the after, I don't have the in-between.' Mr King had been living in France for 15 years .

During a talk in Washington today, the space agency announced that humanity is likely to encounter extra-terrestrials within a decade. 'I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years,' Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for Nasa, said. Scroll down for video . During a talk today, Nasa announced that humanity will encounter extra-terrestrials within a decade. 'I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years,' said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for Nasa, (pictured) at a Washington panel discussion . 'We know where to look, we know how to look, and in most cases we have the technology.' Jeffery Newmark, interim director of heliophysics at the agency, added: 'It's definitely not an if, it's a when.' 'We are not talking about little green men,' Stofan said. 'We are talking about little microbes.' The announcement has been prompted by the recent discovery of water by Nasa in surprising places. Jim Green, director of planetary science at Nasa, noted that a recent study of the Martian atmosphere found 50 per cent of the planet's northern hemisphere once had oceans a mile deep. Scientists using the Hubble recently provided powerful evidence that Jupiter's moon Ganymede (pictured) has a saltwater, sub-surface ocean, likely sandwiched between two layers of ice . The same study found that water had been present on the red planet for up to 1.2 billion year. 'We think that long period of time is necessary for life to get more complex,' Stofan said. Nasa associate administrator John Grunsfeld said he is excited about seeing what form life beyond Earth may take. In their hunt for alien life, astronomers have so far focused on looking for Earth-like planets around smaller, cooler suns. But these exoplanets - despite having a chance of holding water - are believed to be locked in a rotation around their sun which causes only one side of their surface face the star. Now astronomers claim that such exoplanets actually rotate around their stars, and spin at such a speed that they exhibit a day-night cycle similar to Earth \u2013 increasing the chance of finding alien life. Planets with potential oceans could have a climate that is much more similar to Earth's than previously expected,' said J\u00e9r\u00e9my Leconte, a postdoctoral fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) at the University of Toronto. 'If we are correct, there is no permanent, cold night side on exoplanets causing water to remain trapped in a gigantic ice sheet,' he said. 'Whether this new understanding of exoplanets' climate increases the ability of these planets to develop life remains an open question.' 'Once we get beyond Mars, which formed from the same stuff as Earth, the likelihood that life is similar", "summary": "The comment was made today by Ellen Stofan, chief Nasa scientist .

Countdown to the exam season: A new study by Lancashire's Edge Hill University found a direct link between anxiety ahead of taking exams and grades achieved . The study, which has been published in the British Journal of Educational Psychology, questioned 705 pupils from 11 schools.

The Scandinavian official ruined Dynamo Kiev's hopes of upsetting the Viola by brandishing a red card in the direction of Holland international Jeremain Lens. Eriksson showed Lens a second yellow card as he decided to penalise the former PSV forward for diving inside the penalty area. The wrong call was made as replays showed Lens was slightly clipped when he made his way towards goal. It was one of those occasions where the referee should have simply let play continue. Dynamo Kiev manager and former Tottenham striker Sergei Rebrov was forced into taking off striker Lukasz Teodorczyk moments before the interval, which subsequently minimised the away side's goal threat during the second half. Salah, who has proven his doubters wrong since swapping Chelsea for Fiorentina in February, almost doubled his side's lead when he managed to jiggle his way past several defenders before shooting at goal. The Egyptian international's shot appeared to be heading into the back of Oleksandr Shovkovskiy's net until Danilo used his hand to intercept. Dynamo Kiev, despite their best efforts, failed to really threaten Fiorentina after being reduced to 10 men as Vincenzo Montella's side elected to play the passing game. Late substitute Vargas put the result beyond doubt when he ran down the left wing before smashing the ball past Shovkovskiy.

Currently on a high after his stunning equaliser for England against Italy in Turin on Tuesday night, the 23-year-old Tottenham winger has already had more ups and downs than most players experience in their careers. On his day, Townsend stands in comparison with the very best. He terrifies defenders with his speed and directness \u2013 a trait he also possesses off the pitch judging by his 'told you so' tweet to a critical Paul Merson this week. That ability was first noticed two years ago when he single-handedly tried to save QPR from relegation with a string of virtuoso performances. Later in 2013, he turned in two of the great international displays of recent years when he destroyed Montenegro and Poland at Wembley to book England's place at the World Cup. Andros Townsend unleashes an unstoppable right-footed strike from 20 yards to score England's equaliser . The Tottenham and England winger celebrates his goal against Italy, which was his third for his country . His strike in Turin, measured at 77.2mph, was further evidence he belongs on the top table. 'We are indebted to Andros \u2013 he is a game-changer,' said England manager Roy Hodgson. And yet... How can a player with Townsend's obvious ability be sent out to nine different clubs on loan by Spurs. Why has he still not played a full 90 minutes for his club in the Premier League this season? How come in the autumn it was Townsend rather than Aaron Lennon who was seen as surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane? He has scored as many goals for England as he has done in the Premier League for Spurs. Wingers are by nature of their position more inconsistent than other players. If they are starved of service, they can appear ineffectual. And if they try too hard when they do get the ball, they can squander possession. And even by wingers' standards, Townsend is a risk-taker. It can make him look unstoppable at times and a waste of time at others. Hodgson admitted agonising about giving him a debut ahead of James Milner and Jack Wilshere against Montenegro 18 months ago, but he was man of the match and scored the important third goal in a 4-1 England victory.

(Scribe Books, \u00a312.99) Jack Andraka is just 18, yet his newly-published memoir carries a blurb from Barack Obama. 'Spectacular stuff...' enthuses the President. Jack's short life has been packed with incident, but there was little in his background to suggest that he would become a teenage celebrity. He was born in 1997 and grew up in suburban Maryland with his elder brother, Luke, and parents, Jane, a nurse, and Steve, a civil engineer. The Andrakas encouraged their boys to think about how the world worked: school runs were fiercely competitive as Jack and Luke tried to solve science questions fired at them by their mother. At home, the basement became a laboratory, from where Luke's attempt to turn a microwave into a ray gun plunged the entire neighbourhood into darkness. At school, Jack won prizes for science projects, but was ostracised as a geek and viciously bullied when he came out as gay, aged 13. Then a close family friend, Uncle Ted, died of pancreatic cancer. Deeply depressed, Jack made an unsuccessful suicide attempt. That awful moment proved to be a turning-point. At summer camp, Jack met a sympathetic counsellor, and began to channel his grief into the science that would make him a star. Initially, he thought of trying to find a cure for pancreatic cancer - an ambitious task, given that he didn't know what a pancreas was. An online search revealed that survival rates are low, partly because the cancer is hard to detect. He had his project - but he needed access to a proper laboratory. He wrote 200 emails to university science departments - and 199 rejections later Dr Anirban Maitra, an expert in pancreatic cancer at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, offered Jack a corner of his lab to work in, under supervision. The supervision proved necessary as Jack contaminated samples by sneezing on them, and smashed a tray of test tubes by tripping over his shoelaces. But at last there came the moment that every research scientist longs for: his experiment worked. When his test for detecting pancreatic cancer won the top award at a prestigious international science competition in 2012, his wild celebrations at the awards ceremony went viral. He was interviewed by CNN and the BBC, and had to fit school assignments around invitations to meet world leaders and give TED talks. He was photographed with Bill and Hillary Clinton (who told him that politics was just like the film, Mean Girls). There was an audience with the Pope, he was hugged by Michelle Obama ('She was incredibly strong') and met the President who was, Jack notes, 'surprisingly well versed in science'. Of course, it wasn't all praise and presidential parties. There was anti-gay abuse, and scepticism from the scientific community. 'One major publication even dedicated a thousand words to why they were NOT going to celebrate my achievements,' Jack writes. Funny, brave and super-enthusiastic, with a healthy dose of adolescent egotism and some comic glimpses", "summary": "Jack Andraka, now 18, became depressed when a close family friend died .

The Liberal Democrats admitted today that their best hope is to end up with 30-something MPs after May 7, compared with the 57 elected in 2010. A senior party source said their best chance of holding the balance of power after the General Election was to finish 'in the 30s' if they are able to retain a number of closely-fought seats. Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, making play dough at Tops Day Nursery, Corfe Mullen in Dorset, said he would demand education spending be protected from cuts as the price of propping up another coalition .

The first of what he dubbed his 'Premier League policies', which the party would insist upon as a condition of propping up a government, is a \u00a35billion commitment to protect the entire education budget in real terms. It would mean raising spending on education every year from 2018 onwards and at all stages 'from cradle to college', which goes further than the Tories or Labour have promised. Mr Clegg said: 'I can confirm a Liberal Democrat red line \u2013 a pre-condition for Government \u2013 is increasing spending on education. 'The Liberal Democrats will not allow our children and grandchildren to pay the price of this generation's mistakes. We believe above all else in spreading opportunity, in tearing down the barriers that stop people from reaching their potential. Nothing is more crucial to that than education.' The Lib Dem leader - who claimed just last week that he would not set out 'red lines' - said people felt 'confused' about the outcome of the election and he wanted to be 'clear and certain' about his party's intentions.

Mike and Susan Fortuna, of Shelburne are accusing Allergan of failing to warn of dangers, negligence and breach of the Vermont Consumer Fraud Act in treating their daughter, Mandy . The parents of a Vermont woman who died last year have sued Botox maker Allergan, saying off-label treatment of her spams caused by cerebral palsy with Botox contributed to her death. Mike and Susan Fortuna, of Shelburne, sued last week, accusing Allergan of failing to warn of dangers, negligence and breach of the Vermont Consumer Fraud Act in treating their 21-year-old daughter, Mandy Fortuna. In November, a Vermont jury awarded a New York family $6.75 million in their lawsuit against Allergan. Their lawyer said 7-year-old Joshua Drake developed epilepsy after getting Botox injections for his leg spasms caused by cerebral palsy. Joshua and Fortuna were treated by the same doctor, Dr. Scott Benjamin of Burlington, Vermont. The last set of injections occurred on September 5, 2014, approximately three weeks prior to her death, according to a press release put out last week by the Fortunas' attorneys. The Fortunas claim their daughter suffered an unexplained deterioration in her health after from Dr. Benjamin. 'She was continually gagging and choking, unable to clear her secretions,' reads the complaint. 'Her breathing was shallow and Mandy had trouble holding her head up. She began to experience seizures or seizure-like spells.' The cause of death was not entirely conclusive and was ruled as atypical pneumonia, a common complication associated with Botox overdoses, according to their suit . The family obtained records from the Burlington physician, which their attorney Ray Chester says they used to determine that Mandy had received an overdose of Botox just like Joshua Drake. 'It came about seven or eight weeks too late,' Mike Fortuna told the Burlington Free Press. 'Nonetheless, we were perplexed by the whole thing. We didn't understand what had happened to her, and now we know.' Off-label: Mandy Fortuna suffered from cerebral palsy and was treated for spasms using Botox off-label . Their suit claims Botox contacted Dr. Benjamin multiple times in the 2000s and urged him to use unsafe doses of Botox for pediatric uses. In 2011, Chester and his team received what was reported to be the largest single plaintiff personal injury verdict ever awarded in the State of Virginia. That verdict was $212 million and included a $200 million punitive damages award. The case later settled for a confidential amount. According to the release, Chester's other clients range from adults who wanted to remove a few wrinkles to young children with cerebral palsy who received high dose, off-label Botox to treat spasticity. The one common thread among almost all cases is that the treatments were off-label, meaning not approved by the FDA. Allergan plead guilty to criminal off-label promotion in 2010 and paid $600 million in fines. Allergan hasn't commented on the lawsuit. Dr. Bejamin has declined to comment on the pending litigation .

Jim Jepps used a blog called The Daily Maybe to defend 'rape fantasies', describe paedophiles as 'complex human beings' and question why teachers who have relationships with pupils are put on the sex offenders register. The couple met five years ago when Ms Bennett contacted him to correct something he had written about her, but now the Green party stresses they do not 'want to be associated' with his internet rants. Scroll down for video . Green party leader Natalie Bennett has distanced herself from the bizarre blog posts of her boyfriend Jim Jepps, insisting he is a 'private individual not involved in party politics' Ms Bennett's profile has soared in recent months, buoyed by rising poll ratings and Green party membership in England passing 60,000 for the first time. However, little is known about her private life, in contrast to the spouses of David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg who have been frequently seen on the campaign trail. Ms Bennett has been dating Mr Jepps for five years, after meeting online. He continued blogging on the Daily Maybe site until 2011. He quit the Socialist Workers Party in around 2003 and later joined the Greens. Bizarrely, he left the party in 2012, the year Ms Bennett replaced the more high-profile Caroline Lucas as Green leader. On his website, Mr Jepps appears to have deliberately courted controversy with a series of controversial blog posts, often related to sex, rape or paedophiles. In one post, seen by MailOnline, he joked that gay sex is not a sin 'unless you do it really well or claim it on expenses'. In 2007, he tackled a news story about demands for music books written by a paedophile to be withdrawn, because the recorder lessons were used to groom victims. Mr Jepps wrote: 'We can burn these books as a public statement against the author (who is in jail for his crimes) or try to understand that whatever monstrous acts individuals commit they are still complex human beings for all that. 'Good, evil, interesting and banal by turns - not devils who can taint everything they touch with evil.' He also dismissed a case in which a blogger was charged with obscenity for writing an article imagining the kidnap and murder of the pop group Girls Aloud. 'Either I'm hopelessly jaded or getting depraved and corrupted is a lot duller than I remember\u2026 Personally I didn't find it that shocking.'

Leading psychologist Jo Lamble told Daily Mail Australia that this is a common reaction from people who are suffering from anti-social personality and narcissism disorders. Scroll down for video . Life-long struggle with the truth: Belle Gibson sensationally admitted that her terminal cancer was a lie in an interview with the Australian Women's Weekly . Lamble has not treated Gibson personally but said, in her professional opinion, she believes Gibson could be displaying signs of both a narcissism disorder and anti-social personality disorder. Lack of remorse is a common trait seen in those with anti-social personalities, Lamble says. 'A lack of remorse definitely fits in. It's like - you do what you need to do to get what you want,' she said. 'So if they need money they will commit fraudulent acts and steal, for example.' While other experts suggested to AWW that she could be suffering Munchhausen Syndrome, Lamble believes this isn't likely to be the case for Gibson. Changing times: 'In the past, a need for that love and attention may have been in less dangerous ways... but now technology has allowed it to get completely out of hand,' says Lamble . 'With Munchhausen, they normally don\u2019t just lie, they go much further to be sick. 'While they definitely fake illness, they also self-harm and don\u2019t normally do it for money purposes, they do it for attention,' she said. 'For example, they will go to lots of different doctors and shop around until someone believes their symptoms. They also might drink poison or swallow things or stab themselves, then ask, \"what\u2019s wrong with me?'' 'So I think in this particular case, she\u2019s made up a story for fame, fortune, signing book deals - which suggests more narcissism and anti-socialism,' added Lamble. Another common trait shared by narcissists is that sufferers are often very charismatic. 'A lack or remorse definitely fits in... you do want you need to do to get what you want': Leading psychologist Jo Lamble says that Gibson's actions point to both a narcissism disorder and anti-social personality disorder . 'Narcissistic people will lie and build themselves up to be an amazing person full of grandiosity, wanting fame and fortune. They love to believe they are special and need all this admiration and attention,' the psychologist said. Lamble says this can often be a sign of neglect. This fits with Gibson's account of a troubled childhood - she was quoted in the Women's Weekly saying she had to bring herself up - doing the dishes and cooking her own food from a very young age, for example.

The jihadi bride who persuaded three friends to follow her to Syria was brought up in a strict Muslim household which turned to Islamic State apologists Cage when she disappeared, it emerged yesterday. Sharmeena Begum, 15, was raised by her uncle Shamim Miah, a devout Muslim and former religious scholar. He encouraged her to pray each dawn before classes at Bethnal Green Academy in Tower Hamlets. He blames the airport authorities, police and her school for letting Sharmeena flee the country last December, flying from Gatwick to Turkey before crossing the border to Syria. Controversially, he has turned for advice to Cage, the hardline human rights group whose leaders have said IS executioner Jihadi John is a \u2018beautiful young man\u2019. In an exclusive interview this week, Mr Miah, 38, sat at the kitchen table of his terraced house, a few minutes\u2019 walk from the academy in East London. It is where Sharmeena lived with him, her mother Shahnaz \u2013 until her death from cancer aged 33 last year \u2013 and her grandmother, Jahanara, 66. Close to tears, he disclosed how his niece used \u00a31,000 to go to Syria, money given by relatives after her mother\u2019s death as a traditional gift in Bangladeshi families to show respect for the deceased. \u2018At first her Nan \u2013 my mother \u2013kept the money safe. Then Sharmeena asked to open her own bank account and she gave the cash to her,\u2019 said Mr Miah. \u2018She also pressed to keep her passport in her bedroom and we allowed that too. If her mother had not died, she would never have had money to go.\u2019 Mr Miah was born in Bangladesh and came to this country as a boy with his parents. He studied Islam before becoming a takeaway restaurant owner and now works nights at a supermarket. \u2018I have known Sharmeena since she was born,\u2019 he said. \u2018She grew up in my house with her mother Shahnaz, my sister.\u2019 Shamima Begum's family at Scotland Yard's headquarters, London, pictured with Abase Hussen, father of Amira Abase .

Mr Miah has been interviewed by police about his missing niece and the disappearance of her three classmates: Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15, earlier this year.

Barbara's magic bullet: Monica Lewinsky. Walters says that the former White House intern would be a 'run away success' on The View, a network source tells Daily Mail Online. She would attract great guests - even if casting her as a regular co-host would make it unlikely that potential 2016 Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton or President Bill Clinton would ever appear on the show again. Scroll down for video . Ever since their infamous interview in 1999 following the Bill Clinton scandal Barbara Walters has always believed Monica got the short end of the stick in the court of public opinion and has tirelessly defended her on the show over the years . Lewinsky recently participated in a 22-minute long TED Talk that has made international headlines. During the speech, the 41-year-old former White House intern talked about 'The Price of Fame' and redefined her story as the first victim of cyber-bullying. 'Barbara believes that Monica, 41, could make The View competitive and compelling and while a lot of Washington's elite may scratch the show off its must-visit press list, the younger demographic of online users would tune in daily to see what she had to say,' added the source. Last year when discussing Lewinsky with David Letterman, he asked her about Monica joining The View. It looked as though the late night host was reading her mind and she stuttered, 'I think it would be great if she were on The View. I wouldn't expect it tomorrow.' 'Tomorrow is now,' says the insider. The multi-host show was created by Walters in 1997 with an original panel of women including Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Joy Behar and Debbie Matenopoulos. It defied the odds previous shows faced in the 11am time slot. Exit Rosie: She had enough of The View and vice versa . Despite numerous cast changes \u2013 Lisa Ling, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Rosie O'Donnell, Sherri Shepherd, and Jenny McCarthy have had stints as co-hosts on the show \u2013 The View became a force to be reckoned with in daytime TV. But after the exit of Behar and Hasselbeck and the addition of McCarthy, The View took a ratings dive. ABC decided to overhaul the show following the end of that season, and replaced Shepherd and McCarthy with Republican analyst Nicolle Wallace and actress Rosie Perez. The network also brought back O'Donnell to join the show's long-running moderator, Whoopi Goldberg. In-fighting between Goldberg and O'Donnell and endless backstage turmoil caused ABC to move the show from its Entertainment division to its News division. Despite numerous set changes and multiple updates to the show opening, the new ensemble never seemed to attract viewers and ratings continued to fall.

Gaioz Nigalidze, the current Georgian champion, was expelled from the Dubai Open Chess tournament when he was found using his phone in the middle of a match. The two-time national champion was exposed when his opponent lodged a complaint when he grew suspicious about his frequent trips to the lavatory. Tournament organisers found Nigalidze had stored a mobile phone in a cubicle, covered in toilet paper. They announced their decision to expel Nigalidze on Sunday morning on their Facebook page. The complaint was made by Nigalidze's opponent in their sixth-round match in the tournament, Armenia's Tigran Petrosian. He said: 'Nigalidze would promptly reply to my moves and then literally run to the toilet. 'I noticed that he would always visit the same toilet partition, which was strange, since two other partitions weren't occupied. 'I informed the chief arbiter about my growing suspicions and asked him to keep an eye on Gaioz. 'After my opponent left the very toilet partition yet another time, the arbiters entered it.

Luxury: Audley Square House is set to be a complex of houses, luxury flats and penthouses in Mayfair, central London . Contrast: Most of the plot is currently taken up by an ugly parking garage which is set to be knocked down by owner John Caudwell . But it could face trouble getting planning permission - as VIP neighbours may object to the building works needed to build four levels of basements as well as nine storeys above the ground. Each townhouse and penthouse will have its own gym and swimming pool, while the penthouses will have dedicated lifts to ensure their owners' privacy. Entrepreneur: The Phones4U founder, pictured with his partner Claire Johnson, is known as a prolific investor in Mayfair property . The development's communal facilities will include a 15-metre swimming pool, a business centre for holding meetings, a gym, spa and cinema and games room.

The complex of affordable housing, funded and designed by the Star Wars director, would provide homes to 224 low-income families. And there's very little his fellow Bay Area residents can do about it. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Making waves: George Lucas has unveiled plans to build an affordable housing complex on the plot of land in Lucas Valley, Bay Area, which his neighbors are determined to leave untouched . Lucas dropped plans for a Lucasfilm Ltd studio complex on Lucas Valley Road in 2012. Citing opposition from neighbors, a spokesman said they did not want to be seen as an 'evil empire'. But it seems the award-winning director is determined to do something with the 1,039 acres of land on his Grady Ranch estate in Marin County, California. The project, submitted for planning on Wednesday, would span 52 acres and cost around $200m. Just a few meters from his own Skywalker Ranch, the community would consist of two complexes. One would contain 120 two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes for low-income families. The other would be for pensioners: a four-story building with 104 one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments. Because Lucas proposes to fund the project himself, his lawyers say he has the right to select who lives there. However, his representatives insist the project is not a form of retaliation. 'He said \"we've got enough millionaires here. What we need is some houses for regular working people\",' his lawyer Gary Giacomini told CBS.

A coroner previously ruled that the state of the A65 (pictured), near Giggleswick, North Yorkshire, was 'the cause of the incident' After the inquest last year, Mrs Uzzell said the death of her husband, an experienced cyclist and service engineer, was preventable. She said: 'It is simply disgraceful that a pothole on such a busy road was allowed to go unrepaired. This should not have happened. 'My husband was an experienced cyclist and was out doing what he loved, while raising money for charities close to his heart, but it has cost him his life. The council inspected the pothole in the weeks before Mr Uzzell's (pictured) death but decided it did not need repairing . 'I am told a policeman had reported the pothole on two occasions to the council but nothing was done. The road was also inspected monthly as it is an A-road, but despite the danger being recorded in May it wasn't repaired. 'To make it worse there was another inspection in June carried out in a vehicle going at 25mph down the other side of the three lane carriageway. 'No attempt was made", "summary": "Martyn Uzzell died instantly when a 4in pothole threw him into path of a car . Cyclist was riding from Land's End to John O'Groats for charity in 2011 .

+{"article": "Our almost constant use of mobile phones and the decline of working class jobs are contributing to the erosion of the age-old whistle according to new research. Once heard constantly on the streets, in songs, on the stage and in the workplace it has nearly disappeared. Whistling aficionados are in agreement, no one is whistling while they work \u2013 or anywhere else for that matter. All children used to be told to whistle while they work by the classic Disney animation Snow White. However the rise of the mobile phone and music on the ipod means young people are less likely to whistle now. Cultural historian at Syracuse University, London, Chris Cook, told the Sunday Times that whistling has all but disappeared over the last few decades. A YouGov poll commissioned by the newspaper confirmed the trend illustrating that 70 percent of people were in agreement that they hear fewer people whistling compared with 20 or 30 years ago. Half of those asked said they believed the decline was a result of the demise of working class culture, while a third said they were listening to ipods and personal music players instead of whistling. Co-Author of 'A Brief History of Whistling' John Lucas said the sound of miners on their way to the pits or workers to and from the factories used to be common. He explained there were even whistling choirs on the buses on the way to work. In the 70s and 80s whistling was still popular in many pop songs, John Lennon's Jealous Guy, later covered by Bryan Ferry's Roxy Music in 1981 were well-liked whistling tunes . Paul Simon'a 1972 hit Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard is also well-known for its use of whistling . Monty Python's Always Look On the Bright Side of Life from the 1979 film the Life of Brian is one of the few tunes you might hear whistled . Lucas said other jobs also normally associated with whistling were gone. These included errand delivery boys, and the coalman. Where the jobs do exist, whistling does not appear to be appreciated. Kevin Gifford, a milkman from Leicestershire was handed a warning in 2013 after residents on his route complained that his whistling disturbed them. The slow fizzle of whistling's popularity has also been linked to the decline of variety shows. In the past whistlers could be incredibly popular. Ronnie Rondale from Islington, London was so successful that he became a best-selling artist with Columbia records and toured the world. However, the era of master whistlers is still not completely dead and Britain can still boast at least one. Seventy-year-old Sheila Harrod from Loughborough won the 1995 international whistling championship in Berlin and still performs 1940s-style variety shows at home and abroad. Mrs. Harrod explained that she began honing her whistling skills at the age of 13 but complained that now young people don't seem much interested in it. All of her audiences are at least over 40.

Build-time pressure over the winter resulted in the Silverstone-based marque starting the campaign with a car that is considerably off the pace.

Wine experts have created a guide to matching wine with snacks that recommends pairing Pinot Grigio with nachos and Shiraz Rose with salt and vinegar crisps. A Riesling is the perfect companion to a sausage roll, Chardonnay goes great with wasabi peas or pittas and hummus, and Merlot is the best glass to compliment a box of chocolates. Tasters at Jacob's Creek sampled different types of wine with 10 of the nation's most popular snacks and light bites. They even found that different wines match different pizza toppings - with Shiraz best for a margherita but a meaty Cabernet Sauvignon with a pepperoni. Meanwhile, Sauvignon Blanc was found to be the perfect pairing for salted popcorn and a Scotch Egg goes down a treat with a drop of Fiano. TV cook and author, Jo Pratt, who took part in the tasting session with Jacob's Creek wine maker Rebekah Richardson, said: 'There are plenty of guidelines out there about the best wines to drink with main meals but there isn't really any inspiration for which wines to enjoy with smaller plates or snacks.

The next time you order a cheese and tomato pizza, opt for a spicy Shiraz as its spicy fruit flavours can stand up to the strong aromatic herbs, tangy tomato sauce and salty cheese . They found sausage rolls are paired perfectly with the Riesling due to the 'buttery pastry and rich pork balancing the lime and green apple flavours of the wine'.

The Pro 12 has a credibility issue, due to the continuing absence of so many Irish stars from so many matches. While player welfare is quite rightly prioritised, there is a feeling that the national management go too far on occasions. No wonder the Welsh regions were so keen to align themselves with the Aviva Premiership clubs during the European rebellion last year.

After surgery, the cancer cells are sent to a lab where they are screened, and women can be told within days whether they have a high or low risk of the disease returning. For some women, the test can accurately tell if the risk is as low as five per cent, which is as good as if not better than the odds for those who have chemotherapy. The majority of women who have breast cancer are routinely given the gruelling drug treatment following removal of the tumour to prevent recurrence. Although the medication kills off cancer cells, the side effects \u2013 including complete hair loss, nausea, sickness, weight gain or loss, and extreme fatigue \u2013 can be difficult to live with. For some women, the prospect of chemotherapy is more daunting than the surgery itself. But experts have long-believed that the risk of cancer recurrence for certain women is a lot less than for others, and that for some, chemotherapy may not be necessary. If the newest of the tests, called EndoPredict, shows a low score, patients can opt not to have chemotherapy. Most of the tests are available only privately and cost about \u00a32,500, although breast specialists hope they may soon become properly available on the NHS. Surgeon Hemant Singhal said: 'I think there is a good case for the NHS to use this test on the basis that the cost is balanced out by savings in not giving chemotherapy.' Professor Kefah Mokbel, consultant breast surgeon at St George's Hospital, London, said: 'With this test we can help patients make an informed choice, whereas in the past we have just given chemotherapy to almost everyone.' Becca Cornford, a 49-year-old mother of three aged 11, six and four, was recovering from being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer last year only to then discover that she had cancer in her other breast. The majority of women who have breast cancer are routinely given the gruelling drug treatment following removal of the tumour to prevent recurrence . She said: 'I dreaded chemo more than another mastectomy. I was worried it would interfere with me being able to look after my children.' Professor Mokbel operated on Becca in December at the Princess Grace Hospital, London, and afterwards a sample of her tumour was sent away and tested using the EndoPredict. A low score meant her chances of recurrence within ten years were just five per cent and she was told chemotherapy could not offer much better odds. 'I could have gone through chemo and the cancer could still return,' she says. 'There is no treatment that places your chances at zero. But if you have regular monitoring, there is every chance that any cancer that might come back would be nipped in the bud early.'", "summary": "Breast cancer patients may be spared chemotherapy thanks to new tests .

+{"article": "Jimmy Anderson is unique. From the moment he emerged as a raw youngster in the England team you could see that. England have always produced swing bowlers but not one with Anderson\u2019s skills. It did not take long to realise he would have an outstanding career. He knew what he was doing, too, as soon as he came into the England side ahead of the 2003 World Cup. He did not need coaching and he did not need telling what to do. Jimmy Anderson edged closer to Sir Ian Botham's record for England's leading wicket-taker in Tests . Look at him on Tuesday. If you had asked anyone which end he would choose, almost everybody would have said the other end to the one Anderson picked. It would just seem natural that he\u2019d want the wind to assist his outswing. Not Jimmy. He wanted to swing it away from the left-hander so he started at the other end and his stats will tell you that you can\u2019t argue with him. It is to his credit that he knows his own mind. There have been a lot of English cricketers over the years who need telling what to do but Jimmy is stubborn and I like that. His attitude is almost: \u2018You do what you want to do and I\u2019ll do what I want to do.\u2019 It\u2019s a great advantage for a captain to have someone like that. Anderson celebrates the dismissal of Devon Smith on day two in Antigua, his 381st Test wicket . The 32-year-old is playing in his 100th Test match for England this week in Antigua . Yes, he can be a bit difficult. You talk to Andrew Strauss about Anderson and he\u2019ll tell you about the arguments they had. Strauss would want to attack and have an extra slip if the ball was swinging but Anderson would want an extra cover if he was pitching the ball up because he hates going for runs. You have to take him on occasionally and that\u2019s healthy. Reaching 100 Tests as a fast bowler and being on the brink of becoming England\u2019s leading wicket-taker is more about character and the fight in Jimmy than about his skills. He has had to be tough to get this far. He remembers very well the bad times \u2014 putting out the cones, bringing out the drinks and the time spent on the sidelines with injury. He had to go back to county cricket and watch people not as good as him play for England. Anderson has been the leader of England's bowling attack for a while and will be vital in the Ashes . It is far from easy for a fast bowler to play 100 Tests and in Anderson\u2019s case you cannot say he has lost a yard of pace because of all that hard work he has put in. He will be sorely missed when he does call it a day. England must be careful with him now they are in a run of 17 Tests in nine months.

It appears the video was captured by a friend of the young man and it's understood the pair had been goading Clarkson in the lead-up to the confrontation. Scroll down for video . Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson was filmed lashing out at a young man, thought to be an Adelaide Power fan after his team's loss on the weekend . Alastair Clarkson was approached by the fan as he made his way back to his Adelaide hotel room. The man reportedly 'got in his face' yelling 'Hey Clarko, how was the win today brother?' In the video, which was provided to Channel Seven, the fan is seen shouting in the face of the Hawks coach. 'Hey Clarko, Clarko, how was the win, how was the win today brother? Goooo the Power! An agitated Clarkson lashes out at the man before grabbing him by the throat. The incident took place in the hours after the Hawthorn Hawks' narrow eight-point loss to Port Adelaide. Hawthorn CEO Stuart Fox, who saw the incident unfold, has described it as 'very unfortunate.' 'Alastair was walking back to the hotel with our general manager of football Chris Fagan and came across some intoxicated boys and Clarko was certainly harassed,' Fox said in an interview with Fox Sports. 'He politely declined to be photographed and videoed and the boys just got in his face and tried to get Clarko into the hotel and it was one of those issues that got a little bit ugly. It's not known whether the man in the video was a Power supporter as he wasn't wearing any Port Adelaide clothing. Port Adelaide CEO Keith Thomas said those responsible would be held accountable if found to be club members. 'If it is a Port Adelaide member \u2026 we'll be acting pretty aggressively about that,' Thomas told Fox Sports. Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson, pictured, was 'pushed and shoved all the way to the door,' says Hawthorn CEO . It's not the first altercation the Hawthorn coach has been involved in. In 2006 Clarkson was fined $5000 for abusing umpires on board a plane and in 2008 he was fined for criticising umpire Justin Schmitt\u2019s performance which involved a defeat to Geelong. But Hawthorn's Stuart Fox and others in the AFL community have voiced their support of Clarkson, saying he was 'harassed.' Fox said the video missed the minute prior to the incident where Clarkson and Chris Fagan declined photographs with the two fans and tried to get themselves to the hotel room.

Nina Anderson searched pawn shops near her house in Portsmouth, Hampshire, after gold and silver necklaces worth nearly \u00a3400 were taken from her bedroom as she watched television. The great-grandmother, who lives with husband Maurice, 75, eventually spotted two of the stolen items in the window of a Cash and Cheque Express in the city centre two months after the raid. Her actions, which echo those of Agatha Christie character Miss Marple, led to the arrest of burglar Martin Campbell, who has now been jailed for three years. Detective: Nina Anderson, pictured with husband Maurice, 75, searched pawn shops near their house in Portsmouth, Hampshire, after gold and silver necklaces were taken from her bedroom as she watched TV . Real-life Miss Marple: Mrs Anderson's (left with her husband) actions mirror those of Agatha Christie character Miss Marple, who was played on ITV by actress Geraldine McEwan (right) between 2004 and 2007 . Portsmouth Crown Court heard Campbell, who had been hired to do odd jobs for the couple, forced his way into the house when Mrs Anderson was at home alone on December 28. He was arrested by police when Mrs Anderson noticed necklaces missing from her jewellery box, but was later released with no further action. Determined to retrieve her stolen jewellery, Mrs Anderson began looking in nearby pawn shops. She spotted two of the missing necklaces in the window of a branch of Cash and Cheque Express on February 19. The pawn shop was able to provide a bank statement, photo ID and ownership declaration that Campbell, 28, had provided when he sold the jewellery. Mrs Anderson contacted the police, who used the records to re-arrest Campbell.

An 18ct gold necklace with an image of St Anthony that Mrs Anderson's late father gave to her when she left Italy in 1957 is still missing.

Locals from the island of Kudahuvadhoo, located in the southern area of the Dhaalu Atoll in the Maldives, reported witnessing 'a low-flying jumbo jet' on the morning of March 8 last year, when the flight disappeared while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The reports come as acoustic scientists from Curtin University refuse to rule out the possibility that 'distinctive' data they recorded from the area at the assumed time of the crash may have come from the impact of the aircraft as it hit the Indian Ocean.

Kudahuvadhoo is located in the southern area of the Dhaalu Atoll, in the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean . Despite an exhaustive search that is underway along a 600 square kilometre arc approximately 1800 kilometres southwest of Perth, locals from the island believe they identified red and blue markings, similar to those of the missing plane, on a large passenger jet which flew over the island on the morning of the MH370's disappearance, reported The Weekend Australian. Villagers from the community of 3500 claim that many on the island saw the passenger plane, and were interviewed by police and testified with signed statements to what they witnessed. 'I'm very sure of what I saw on a very clear and bright day, and what I saw was not normal- the plane was very big, and low. I did not know until later that other people saw it too. I don't know if it's the Malaysia plane', said Ahmed Shiyaam, 34, an IT manager. Abdu Rasheed Ibrahim said he saw the plane flying towards him over the water, and did not know at the time that it could be the missing Malaysian Airlines flight. 'I didn't know that a plane was missing. I went straight home and told my wife about it. I told my family, \"I saw this strange plane\". This is the biggest plane I have ever seen from this island...I have seen pictures of the missing plane- I believe I saw the plane...I strongly felt those people who were searching should come here,' Mr Ibrahim said. The Maldvies National Defence Force released a statement in March last year which denied that there had been any aircrafts in the area at the time of the disappearance, which locals have branded as an attempt to hide the limitations of their radar facilities. A local media outlet reported that witnesses claimed the plane was travelling north to southeast, and that the plane was travelling so low it's doors could be seen.

The first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole . The conviction sealed the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40million contract and a standout career . The former football pro was also found guilty on firearm and ammunition charges. For reasons that were never made clear to the jury, Lloyd was shot six times in the middle of the night on June 17, 2013, in a deserted industrial park near Hernandez\u2019s home. Police almost immediately zeroed in on Hernandez because they found in Lloyd\u2019s pocket the key to a car the NFL player had rented. Within hours of Hernandez\u2019s arrest, the Patriots cut the former Pro Bowl athlete, who was considered one of the top tight ends in the game. Prosecutors presented a wealth of evidence that Hernandez was with Lloyd at the time he was killed, including home security video from Hernandez\u2019s mansion, witness testimony and cellphone records that tracked Lloyd\u2019s movements.

That elusive first piece of silverware is proving hard to attain and an itch is developing which is in dire need of being scratched. After spending more than \u00a3200million since taking charge at Liverpool in June 2012, there is only so long the owners and fans will keep patient in their desire for dividends. Brendan Rodgers gives instructions to Steven Gerrard during Liverpool's defeat against Aston Villa . Rodgers is set for his third season without a trophy after Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup . Twitching times can develop when the top clubs go through barren spells - and Rodgers\u2019 is beginning to enter such a period. During Rodgers\u2019 time in charge, Manchester United and Chelsea had spent more than their Merseyside rivals - so too have City by a fraction - but each of those have brought home something. United and City have won two trophies - including the Premier League title - while Chelsea have one and are sure to add the league title to that soon. Arsene Wenger has spent \u00a3183m, comparatively little, but managed to win two trophies over the past two seasons. That is less than rivals Tottenham, who have spent just under \u00a3200m and, like Liverpool, have won nothing. Alexis Sanchez celebrates his extra-time winner against Reading to seal Arsenal's spot in the FA Cup final . Eden Hazard's first-half strike against Manchester United leaves Chelsea on the brink of winning the title . While the country\u2019s best teams are filling their trophy cabinets, Rodgers\u2019 remains bare. The Red half of Merseyside expect success and landed the League Cup under Kenny Dalglish just before Rodgers took to the helm. Analysis by Sportsmail indicates that he has signed 22 players during his tenure, but only seven of those can be considered a success at this current time. His top signings have been Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Simon Mignolet, but the poor transfers outweigh the successful ones. Rogers has gone for top young talent, ranging from 18 to 21 when he signs them. There is still time for some of those players - the likes of Joao Teixeira and Divock Origi - to prove their worth. But there will be only so much time. Many of his big-money failures came last summer, when he tried to spend the money accrued from selling Luis Suarez to Barcelona for \u00a375m. Adam Lallana, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren and Mario Balotelli have all disappointed this term. Like the younger potentials, each of those could still make their mark, but the question is if it does not come together next season - and they remain trophyless again - will Rogers still be in charge to reap any of the rewards? Philippe Coutinho, Mario Balotelli and Jordan Henderson reflect on Liverpool's semi-final defeat on Sunday . Summer 2012 . Fabio Borini, Roma, \u00a310.5m .

It will also claim nearly two million more patients are unhappy with doctors opening hours compared to three years ago as they lose access to appointments outside of office hours.

But the Tories last night claimed many of the problems stemmed from Labour\u2019s 2004 changes to GP contracts that allowed them to opt out of providing care outside office hours. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt also said that the government had already begun tackling the issue by making extra funding available, which will mean the number of GP surgeries opening longer will have increased when the next set of figures are published. As it unveils its new poster, Labour will release a new document that it claims shows how David Cameron has failed to implement seven-day opening for GP surgeries as he promised before the last election. The original poster depicts a queue to an Unemployment Office . Mr Cameron repeated the pledge at last week\u2019s televised leaders debate, claiming he wanted GPs to open \u2018all the way through the week\u2019. But official figures show the proportion of GP practices offering extended hours has fallen from 77 per cent in 2009 to 72 per cent in the latest figures for 2013/14. Labour said this means 590 fewer GP surgeries are now open at evenings and weekends compared to its last year in office. NHS England\u2019s annual GP-Patient survey of 900,000 patients also shows growing unhappiness with GP surgery opening hours between 2012 and the latest figures for 2015, according to the party. It says there has been an increase of 1.9 million in the number of people saying their surgery is not open at convenient times from 8,393,162 to 10,261,435.

+{"article": "A husband was left so traumatised by his wife's botched surgery that he was awarded thousands of pounds in compensation for nervous shock, despite his wife already being given a hefty payout. In a case which could have huge financial consequences for the NHS, Julie Ronayne was awarded \u00a3160,000 after she was left 'looking like Michelin man' following the bungled hysterectomy in 2008. Her husband Edward, who lives with Mrs Ronayne in Netherley, Liverpool, was awarded \u00a39,000 due to the nervous shock he suffered when he saw his wife's appearance. Edward Ronayne was given \u00a39,000 in compensation after he claimed he suffered a psychiatric injury from seeing his wife swell up 'like Michelin man' after botched surgery at Liverpool Women's Hospital (pictured) The severe swelling had been caused by a dangerous infection known as peritonitis, which the woman had contracted during the surgery at Liverpool Women's Hospital. The NHS is now fighting to overturn the payout, fearing it could have disastrous consequences for the organisation. The test case, being heard at London's Appeal Court, could set a significant precedent about who is able to claim for shock or distress following an NHS mishap. Mr Ronayne was awarded the damages from Liverpool Women\u2019s NHS Foundation Trust in July 2013. Liverpool County Court heard how he had been a 'secondary victim' of the incident and had suffered psychiatric injury caused by the shock of seeing his wife's new appearance. He had described her 'colloquially as looking like a Michelin man', the court heard. Mr Ronayne also described his wife's first two days in hospital as 'the worst days of my entire life'. He said he had been 'brought up not to complain' but had never fully recovered from the sight. He added that he had been left feeling tearful, overwhelmed, angry and powerless. The judge, who described him as 'an honest and reliable witness', said: 'His symptoms...were pathological and went beyond simply the distress and anger that a man would suffer due to the near terminal illness of his wife.' But in the appeal court today, Charles Cory-Wright QC, who represents the health trust, told the judges that nervous shock victims are normally only awarded compensation if it can be proved that they have been left with psychiatric injury. He said Mr Ronayne's win had moved the goalposts drastically and could lead to a flood of similar claims, costing the cash-strapped NHS millions in compensation. The barrister argued that Mr Ronayne would not have suffered a sufficient level of shock to qualify for compensation. He added that he was visiting his wife in hospital and therefore would have expected her to look unwell. He told the court: 'Hospitals on a day-to-day basis deal with people who are ill or vulnerable. They go there followed by their loved ones. It is unfortunately a matter of day-to-day occurrence that great emotional responses will take place in a hospital.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila admitted that the first six months in charge were mentally tough . Publicly, Deila plastered on the brave face and talked of looking behind the results for progress. Privately, the misgivings about his long-term suitability for the post were beginning to gnaw at him. \u2018We played Dundee away (1-1) and we couldn\u2019t play worse than we did,\u2019 Deila recalled. \u2018It was unbelievably bad. You know what the players want but you just haven\u2019t got the message across. \u2018People are insecure and that\u2019s a hard time for the coach and the players.\u2019 Even for a manager who had been steeped in the nuances of Scottish football, such a period would have been troubling enough. Deila, a Norwegian who had cut his teeth at tiny Stromsgodset, began to look like a man caught in entirely the wrong movie. \u2018I have to admit the first six months were tough mentally because you have to really learn a lot of new things and get settled,\u2019 he went on. \u2018One thing is the language, the culture is another and then you have to know new opponents, your own team, understand what Celtic is all about and Scottish football. \u2018There are so many things to take in and it\u2019s so easy to push too hard and then you don\u2019t get any time for reflection and you just get tired and then you can meet hard games and hard periods. You have nothing to push against.\u2019 The Norwegian was unsure whether he was cut out to be the boss of the Bhoys . Upon his unveiling last summer, Deila was asked if he felt ready to manage a club like Celtic. He could hardly have answered in anything other than the affirmative. However, faced with a dressing room full of strangers, a league and a country he knew little about and the small matter of Champions League qualifiers hurtling towards him, he quickly appreciated the scale of the task he faced. \u2018I spoke English at once,\u2019 he recalled. \u2018I\u2019d a one-hour speech to them (the players) about how I wanted things. I think that went quite well. \u2018But I didn\u2019t know anything about Scottish football. I didn\u2019t know anything about the players. I\u2019d had a full season with my old club and five days later I was ready for Celtic. \u2018I didn\u2019t know more than four names in the squad so it takes time to get to know them then bang, you\u2019re", "summary": "Celtic boss Ronny Deila was unsure he was cut out for the job .

A version of the letter \u2013 organised by Dr Clare Gerada, the former chairman of the Royal College of GPs \u2013 appeared in the Guardian signed by more than 100 doctors last night. It claimed the 'direction of travel' under the Tories was towards privatisation, adding: 'Another five years of Tory austerity will sap staff morale and reduce the NHS to a poor service for poor people'.

'Under this government, we've got more doctors, more nurses and more patients being seen than ever before.'

Jason Edward Harrington, who worked with the government agency for six years, added screeners will often pull attractive travellers aside so they can inappropriately touch them and will conduct bag checks on people they simply do not like. His comments follow revelations that two TSA workers were fired for manipulating body scanners in Denver as part of a scheme to pat men down before they boarded their flights. Writing for TIME magazine, he said the case was disturbing but admitted it came as no surprise to him. Allegations: Jason Edward Harrington, who worked with the TSA for six years, claims groping is a daily occurrence at security checkpoints across the country and said staff of 'bending the rules' so they could inappropriately touch passengers (file picture) 'Over the course of my six years with the TSA, the leveraging of rules and surveillance tools to abuse passengers was a daily checkpoint occurrence,' he said. 'And while it\u2019s easy to focus all the blame on the two unsavory screeners who are now no longer with the agency, perhaps the bigger issue here is a systemic one: There are far too many federal hands on people\u2019s private parts in airports. He added: 'Perhaps the most disturbing part of the sexual assault of male passengers at Denver International via full-body scanners is that the victims will likely never even know they were assaulted, since so many passengers have their private parts fondled when passing through the scanners, anyway. 'It\u2019s difficult to tell where airport security ends and sexual assault begins these days. Pat-downs of people\u2019s sensitive areas should be much rarer than they are at the airport.' Mr Harrington also alleged the body scanners, that are used by millions of Americans every year, are 'practically useless'. 'The TSA, in its rush to replace the controversial \u201cnude\u201d radiation scanners that they phased out in 2013, swapped out one poorly functioning line of machines for another. 'The current millimeter wave scanners, with their outrageous false-positive rates, regularly cause unnecessary pat-downs: The agent running his or her hands over you after you pass through the scanner is almost never doing it for a good reason.' The sackings follow a number of controversies over the screening of passengers at U.S. airports since 2010, when the agency adopted heightened security measures including full body imaging and pat downs. In November, a TSA employee tipped off the agency that a male screener at the airport told her he groped male passengers he found attractive, according to a Denver police report. In response, an investigator went to the airport in February and saw the screener signal to a female colleague when a certain male passenger entered the screening area, the police report said.

Her home country's leadership is furious that Siti Zainab's family was not notified before her execution this morning - and summoned Saudi Arabia's ambassador to complain about her death. While Amnesty International says her killing in the holy Islamic city of Media this morning 'smacks of a basic lack of humanity'. The domestic worker was sentenced to death in 1999 after confessing to stabbing her employer who allegedly mistreated her to death. She was on death row for over 15 years while Saudi Arabian authorities waited for the victim's youngest child to reach adulthood - to decide whether or not the family wanted to pardon Zainab or demand her execution. Executed: Indonesia and human rights groups are furious that Saudi Arabia executed domestic worker Siti Zainab without notifying the country's officials or her family . Indonesian President Joko Widodo and three of his predecessors had previously written to the Saudi king asking for the victim's family to forgive Zainab. But the sentence was carried out despite their claims that Zainab's family and officials were not given adequate notice or information before she was killed. Indonesia's foreign ministry released a statement saying: 'From the beginning, the government has struggled to provide her with assistance and has asked the family [of the victim] for forgiveness. 'The Indonesian government filed a protest against the Saudi Arabian government for not giving prior notification to Indonesian representatives or to the family over the execution date.'

Mustafa Ibrahim Al-Mubarak said: 'The problem is not about the court and the execution, it is about the date of the execution... I have to check what went wrong.' Before her arrest, Zainab sent two separate letters to her employer's son to say the woman she eventually killed had been cruel to her. The Indonesian government has issued a statement condemning Saudi Arabian authorities' failure to notify them and Zainab's family before executing her. Desperate plee: Indonesian President Joko Widodo had previously written to the Saudi king asking for the Saudi victim's family to forgive Zainab .

Maria Lucia detailed her year-long battle in a letter to fans on The Current's website on Wednesday as she explained she would be taking some time off from the station following the ordeal. The alleged stalker, Patrick Henry Kelly, from Eden Prairie, has been charged in the case and is set to go on trial next week. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. 'This has been a tough year for me,' Lucia, 44, wrote in the online letter. Terrified: Patrick Henry Kelly, left, allegedly repeatedly violated a restraining order radio host Mary Lucia, right, had taken out against him after he sent her letters, emails and gifts to her home and workplace . 'My life over the last year has involved a series of restraining orders, seemingly endless calls to 911, the installation of security cameras at home, and police photo ID line-ups. 'I've been constantly looking over my shoulder, dead-bolting doors, and jumping when someone rings my doorbell or my motion lights go off.' It began when Kelly, 56, wrote Lucia a letter about his dead dog and she responded sympathetically in March 2014, the Star-Tribune reported. He then started sending her 'delusional' e-mails and calling her on her personal numbers. He also sent her gifts, including flowers, sausages, candy and a picture of a man in a mask, to both her home and her workplace, according to court records. In July, she filed for a restraining order against him. 'He believes we are in a relationship,' she told the court. 'He got ahold of my cellphone # somehow and left me a message about getting together this weekend. He's unstable and delusional.' Fears: Lucia posted this letter detailing her terrifying ordeal to The Current's website on Wednesday as she explained to fans why she would be taking some time off work for a while . She was granted the restraining order, which prevented him from being within two city blocks of her Minneapolis home, but he allegedly went on to violate it on multiple occasions. 'I wake up thinking of you and repeat before bed,' he allegedly wrote in one handwritten note he sent Lucia. 'This feeling is so real to me! Just can't ignore it anymore.' He left candles, a bottle of wine, a frog calculator and flowers at her home - allegedly violating the restraining order five times between August and October 2014. 'Do you know what it's like to feel unsafe watching a band at First Avenue?' Lucia wrote online on Wednesday. 'To worry any time a stranger approaches you? To not be able to sleep or eat properly? That's what my past year has been like. 'I've made a 21-year career on the radio in this town being honest and authentic, and now I'm deathly afraid to reveal too much of myself on the air.'

Virgil van Dijk's sublime 16th free-kick gave the Parkhead side a dream start to their Scottish Cup semi-final clash with Inverness. But the Parkhead side were denied a clear penalty and the chance to go 2-0 ahead before half-time when additional assistant Alan Muir failed to spot a goalline handball from Josh Meekings. Ronny Deila was angry at the referee's decision to now send off Josh Meekings and award his side a penalty . Celtic's anger was further fuelled when McLean - rightly - sent off Parkhead keeper Craig Gordon for clattering into Marley Watkins in 53 minutes, Greg Tansey equalising from the spot. A man down for 67 minutes the Scottish champions wilted in extra-time, succumbing to goals from Edward Ofore and David Raven, despite John Guidetti making it 2-2. In measured tones, Deila chose his reaction to the penalty furore carefully saying: 'I don't think I have to say much about that. 'I think everybody can see what's happening. The Inverness defender (6) handled Leigh Griffiths goal-bound header but none of the officials saw it . 'When they played with 11 v 11 we had good control of the game and produced good chances and enough to win the game. 'But, of course, with ten it gets more difficult and we have to run more. 'And, again, we got very tired.' Pinning the blame for the incident on the unsighted additional assistant Muir rather than referee MacLean the Norwegian added: 'We have five referees, maybe we need seven \u2013 I don't know. One on each post. The Celtic boss remonstrated with Steven McLean at half-time and was angry at the poor decision . 'He has one task. He has to look at something on the goalline. 'You can't blame the main referee for that.' Asked if it was a big, critical moment in the game he added: 'I don't think. Everybody knows that. 'The game is finished if we get it. 'That's a tough day. Hard to take of course. Inverness' players celebrate at the final whistle after reaching the Scottish Cup final after extra time . 'I think we fought very hard. When you don't get the result you want of course it's a blow for us.' The Meekings incident, the latest in a wretched season for Scottish referees, will reopen the debate surrounding television replays. 'This will not help anything today,' said Deila, dismissing the idea. 'It's very hard for me to discuss this. 'It's a big blow for the boys. I'm very disappointed. 'We had control, eleven v eleven and should have killed the game before. Virgil van Dijk (left) had given Celtic the lead and put his side in control before all the incidents kicked off .

A study of wildlife sites across four English counties has found that most are home to fewer species of bee today than they were in the past. It found that the expansion of farmland has actually been more damaging to Britain\u2019s bee population than the concreting over of the countryside for housing. A Reading University researcher has said that bees prefer cities to fields (honey bees in Paris shown). The expansion of farmland has actually been damaging to bee population, according to the researcher. Wildlife sites in four English counties saw bee species decrease . For instance, heaths and meadows near Milton Keynes now boast more species of bee than sites in more rural areas. Reading University researcher Dr Deepa Senapathi believes intensive agriculture is to blame. Climate change could be disrupting the relationship between bees and plants. That's according to a study that said warmer springs can change the life cycles of bees, which can throw them out of sync with the plants they pollinate . The research is the first clear example of the potential for climate change to disrupt such critical relationships between species. The study, Potential Disruption of Pollination in a Sexually Deceptive Orchid by Climate Change, was carried out by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and was published in the journal Current Biology. While the gardens, parks and churchyards of towns and cities provide bees with a variety of plants to forage on and an extended flowering season, popular crops such as oilseed rape only bloom for a few weeks. She said: \u2018While concreting over the countryside may appear to be bad news for nature, we\u2019ve found that progressive urbanisation may be much less damaging than intensive agriculture. \u2018Urban areas may benefit bees more than farmland by providing a wide variety of flowering plants, providing a cosmopolitan menu for insects from spring through to autumn. \u2018Over the past century rural landscapes in Britain have become increasingly dominated by large expanses of monoculture - the growing of a single type of plant, which has helped boost crop production. \u2018But without a mixture of habitat and food sources, rural areas can sometimes be little better than green deserts for biodiversity.' Scientists around the country are trying to work out why populations of bees and other insects are plummeting. Pesticides, climate change and disease may, like intensive farming, be playing a role. The latest research is published in the Royal Society journal Proceedings B. Dr Deepa Senapathi believes intensive agriculture is to blame.

Mr Sears's family challenged the will but agreed a \u00a350,000 settlement in August after they were told legal costs in the case could reach six figures. His nephew Peter Harris, 49, told the Mail the family had always got on well with the various carers Mr Sears had following his wife Kath's death in 2009. But he claimed within months of Miss Kancefer's arrival she was calling him 'Daddy' and they felt 'something was not right'. He said Mr Sears 'suddenly' turned on his nephews and niece, accusing them of conspiring to put him into a nursing home. He instructed solicitors to serve harassment notices to prevent them contacting him. Four months after she moved in, in February 2012, Mr Sears paid \u00a33,000 to buy Miss Kancefer out of her agency contract so she could work for him privately.

She convinced him we wanted to put him in a home and were only after his money. It was so far from the truth. Our only concern was for Dennis's welfare.'

The building, which was built in the 1960s and belongs to Zheng Gong Hospital in Henan Province, was under threat of demolition as it is situated in the path of a road expansion project, reports People's Daily Online. But hospital bosses decided to save time and money - and avoid paying for a new building - and employed a team of engineers to put 'wheels' on the building. The two-storey brick hospital outpatient building in China is being rolled every day on giant metal 'wheels' The large brick building is 1,700 square metres in size and needs more than 1,000 wheels to 'roll' it . Now, the two-storey hospital outpatient building in the city of Zhengzhou, in central China, is being slowly and carefully pushed just a few metres a day on the giant cylinder-shaped rollers. The engineers aim to 'push' the entire structure south by 17.5 metres to its new, designated spot, away from the demolition zone. The 'wheels' the building is being moved on are large, cylinder-shaped metal rollers. The People's Daily reports the large brick building is 1,700 square metres in size and requires more than 1,000 wheels to make the daily 'walk' possible. One of the engineers working on the project secures the metal sheeting and rollers which are being used . It will take three days of careful and slow rolling to move the hospital building 17.5m to its new, safe spot . While it should only take three days to move the building to its newly assigned spot, engineers say the preparation has taken over a month. The entire building was initially placed on metal plates, which then had the cylinder-shaped rollers wedged between them. The ambitious project is expected to be completed in the next couple of days. It is not the first time engineers in China have carried out such a move. In November 2013 a six-storey building in Shanghai which weighed 12,000 tonnes was moved 38 metres with the help of 18 lifting jacks. And according to the Guinness Book of Records the largest building to have ever been moved in this way is another Chinese achievement - in 2004 the Fu gang Building in Guangxi Province was moved 36 metres and took 11 days to complete.

Danny Alexander tweeted a picture of himself with his response to the infamous note left in the Treasury by his Labour predecessor Liam Byrne, saying there was 'no money' left . Mr Alexander, the present Chief Secretary, today sent a letter (left) to Mr Byrne apologising for the late reply to his original note (right) \u2013 saying it was because he had been 'fixing the economy' The original note has haunted Labour since it was first published in the days after Coalition was formed in 2010. Ed Balls sparked a furious response from David Cameron earlier this month after he dismissed the letter as a 'jokey note'. The note has become emblematic of Labour's fiscal irresponsibility in office and was used by Mr Cameron in the seven-way leaders' debate earlier this month. When the Coalition took office in 2010 the budget deficit had reached more than \u00a3150billion \u2013 more than 10 per cent of the entire size of the economy. But Mr Ball insisted the note admitting that Labour had blown the nation's finances should not be taken seriously. Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg is joined by his wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez at The Devonshire Arms in Sheffield today . The Deputy Prime Minister is hoping his message that the Lib Dems can be trusted with the economy will help turn around his party's dire position in the polls . He told BBC West Midlands: 'Liam Byrne's note was a jokey note\u2026 of the course the money hadn't run out.' Mr Balls said Labour would cut the deficit \u2013 still running at \u00a390billion a year \u2013 every year. He said: 'Nothing in our manifesto is going to require additional borrowing. I think in tough times, people want a government which will make tough decisions, and will make the sums add up, and that is what we're saying very clearly today.' But he was asked if Labour was 'credible' and could be trusted with the economy.

As the congregation of St Peter and St Paul Church filed in for the Easter Sunday service, thoughts naturally turned to the meaning of sacrifice.

A villager, who asked not to be named, said: \u2018It seems to be down to a clash of personalities. Some people at the church feel that Mr Hogger can come across as abrasive and even rude on occasion. \u2018There have been comments about him being dismissive and offhand to members of the public, like couples who are planning on getting married and are not regular members of the congregation. \u2018He has also not turned up to some meetings and has failed to keep arrangements to talk to people.\u2019 \u2018It was felt that his behaviour was out of line with how the church wanted to be seen but members of the choir have always had a great respect for him.

+{"article": "While young children must be shown the highway code to cross roads safely, it seems chimpanzees have taught themselves. Researchers studying chimps in Uganda say the apes are having to adapt to cope with increasingly busy roads cutting across their territory. They found at a busy asphalted road through the Sebitoli area of Kibale National Park in Uganda, the chimps have learned to look both ways before crossing. Chimpanzees crossing a busy road in Kibale National Park in Uganda (above) have learned to look for traffic . Scientists discovered the chimps will also often run across roads, while dominant males will wait to ensure younger chimps cross safely. It is the first time chimpanzees have been seen to change their behaviour to adapt to busy roads. Chimpanzees appear to flavour their food with herbs, researchers have suggested. Dr Sabrina Krief, a lecturer at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, and her colleagues have found that wild chimpanzees in Uganda eat three different types of leaf while consuming meat they had caught. They reason that if this was for medicinal purposes, different animals would eat different plants depending on their ailments. However, the animals in each group all tended to eat the same plants with their meat, suggesting they were eating them for flavour instead. Dr Krief and her team found that separate groups of chimpanzees at Budongo Forest Reserve and Kibale National Park ate plants while chewing meat. Marie Cibot, a biologist at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, who led the work, said the spread of road infrastructure in Africa was posing a growing threat to wildlife in many countries. She said: 'Although the asphalted road represents a substantial threat to crossing animals, chimpanzees took into account this risk. 'More than 90 per cent of the individuals looked right and left before and while crossing. 'Chimpanzees crossed in small subgroups. Whole parties crossed more rapidly when chimpanzees were more numerous in the crossing groups.' The researchers say the road in Sebitoli sees around 89 motor vehicles an hour racing down it at speeds of between 40mph and 60mph. The researchers said they saw several different primates killed on the roads in the past year. However, chimpanzees living in the surrounding forests appear to have learned about the danger it poses. They watched 122 chimps cross the road over the course of two and half years. They found most of the chimps looked for traffic before crossing and as they crossed. Adult chimps, like this one, tended to wait for younger chimps to cross and checked they got over safely . Females with young and injured adults tended to cross less frequently. Around 20 per cent of the chimps that crossed would turn to check on other members of the group to ensure they were crossing safely. They also tended to form small groups of between two to three chimpanzees that crossed at a time. Chimps have been noticed to cross in similar ways on other non-asphalted roads. However, on quieter roads, adults tend to lead the group", "summary": "Chimps were observed crossing busy road in Kibale National Park, Uganda .

I will do my best to honour every little boys dream tomorrow...,' a cheeky insinuation of what he hoped was to come. Adding '#IDontKnowWhatToDoWithMyhands #ThisGotReal.' While Lively, married to Ryan Reynolds remained above board friendly, Churchill was able to live out one dream, getting a photo with the star and even mentioning his crush on husband Ryan Reynolds to the star. 'I am not one to go all fan-boy like so I kept my cool but there was one thing I had to be honest about,' Churchill revealed. 'I said \"Blake, I am a massive fan of your work (as are the rest of the legends in my country), however my brothers would not look me in the eye if I didn't admit how much of a massive fan we are of your man Ryan.\"' And just like that the bond was formed, according to Churchill. 'She absolutely loved it and couldn't stop smiling. I think she loved that I was real and could hold an honest conversation.'

In an article for MailOnline, he wrote: 'The truth is, Labour are running scared, and it's not the Conservative Party making great inroads into their vote. It's us. It's UKIP. 'You only have to look at last year's Heywood and Middleton by-election for proof of it. 'We came within 620 votes of taking a \"safe\" Labour seat, and actually, Mr Miliband would have had to resign as leader of his party if we had done it. The problem in that case was that the Conservative Party split the vote.'

Notable TV shows including True Blood and the Twilight film series - starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson - are said to be encouraging the surge and driving a new generation of what the Church considers demonic 'possessions'. Professor Giuseppe Ferrari, head of the Italian occult watchdog The Group on Research and Socio-Religious Information, made the revelation when speaking to a Vatican-backed exorcism course in Rome. Hollywood films portraying 'beautiful young vampires', such as Robert Pattinson in Twilight, are said to be driving an increase in young people dabbling in the occult . True Blood, featuring Anna Paquin (left) and Joe Manganiello (right), is another TV show which depicts vampires living in modern society . He told those in attendance: 'There are those who try to turn people into vampires and make them drink other people's blood, or encourage them to have special sexual relations to obtain special powers,' The Independent reported. 'These groups are attracted by the so-called beautiful young vampires that we've seen so much of in recent years.' Such incidents are considered a form of demonic possession by the Vatican. Although it continues to celebrate the role exorcisms play within the Church, it maintains strong guidelines on how and when they should be carried out. In 2013, Pope Francis appeared to cast out a demon from a wheelchair-bound man who said he was possessed by the devil. The Vatican insisted the pope 'didn't intend to perform any exorcism,' and it released a statement that said 'he simply intended to pray for someone who was suffering who was presented to him'. The man later said that Francis had failed to banish the demons from his body. However, after Francis placed his hands on him, he was able to walk again, he claimed. The ancient rite of casting out Satan and his demons from the souls of the possessed has been carried out in the Catholic Church for centuries. In 2013, Pope Francis appeared to cast out a demon from a wheelchair-bound man who said he was possessed by the devil . But the practice of exorcism saw a revival of interest following the 1973 film The Exorcist and other popular film and literature references. Speaking to Vatican Radio, Dr Valter Cascioli, a psychiatrist and spokesman for the International Association of Exorcists, last year warned of 'an extraordinary increase in demonic activity'. He said that this makes it even more worrying that 'the number of people who are turning to these practices, which are damaging psychologically, spiritually and morally, is constantly growing'. The Association, which brings together Catholic priests and psychiatrists, was founded in 1990 and given formal recognition by the Vatican in June. Dr Cascioli said that too many people today undervalue the temptation to engage in 'ordinary demonic activity', which leaves them unprepared to fight off greater attacks by the devil. In societies marked by 'rushing, superficiality, exaggerated individualism and secularization,' he added, 'the battle", "summary": "Films and movies are said to be driving a growing interest in occult forces .

'Gracie Mansion is one of Manhattan's oldest structures built more than 200 years ago and as with any older homes, maintenance is necessary,' mayoral spokesman Peter Kadushin said on Wednesday. 'Beginning this month Gracie Mansion will undergo asbestos abatement and some long-needed roof repairs.' The cost of removing the asbestos will be about $250,000 and the contract was awarded this week to Regional Management Inc., officials said. The replacement of the mansion 30-year-old roof, which is being done by Nicholson and Galloway, should cost an additional $3.4 million, officials said. The roof was frequently overmatched during rain storms, forcing city work crews to be dispatched to patch problem areas multiple times this winter, officials said.

Out of 17 bingo halls tested seven showed traces of cocaine, while another had traces of crack cocaine, a more dangerous form of the drug that is smoked, a newspaper investigation revealed. While the venues do let players as young as 18 in, the majority of attendees are elderly, and the discoveries mirror a spike in OAPs being treated for drug abuse. Out of 17 bingo halls tested across the country, seven had traces of cocaine in the toilets, while this one, in Hengrove Leisure Park, Bristol, was found to have traces of crack cocaine . Class A: While bingo halls allow people as young as 18 to visit, the majority of visitors are pensioners (pictured, Gala Bingo in Fishponds Road, Bristol, where traces of cocaine were found in the toilets) Figures from Public Health England show that 634 pensioners over 65 were treated for substance abuse in the last year, a rise of 20 per cent in a year, and double the rates seen in 2009. A probe by The Sun used swabs coated with special chemicals which reveal traces of cocaine to test toilet cubicles in bingo halls around the country. The news comes as hospital figures reveal a spike in drug abuse among the elderly, with 634 treated for addiction last year (stock picture) Two Gala Bingo premises in Clydebank Retail Park and Hawthorne Quadrant, Glasgow, tested positive for the drug, while Mecca Bingo in Coral Island, Blackpool, also showed traces of cocaine. Gala Bingo in Basildon and Mecca Bingo in Romford, Essex, also had positive results, as did Gala Bingo in Fishponds Road, Bristol. Another Bristol venue, Gala Bingo in Hengrove Leisure Park, tested positive for crack cocaine, which is highly addictive. Kate Lawrence, of drug charity Phoenix Futures, told the paper\u2019s Grant Rollings that the findings were unsurprising, adding that many older people turn to drugs to combat loneliness, or to socialise. She said: 'We assume older people don't want to go out and socialise, but they do, particularly if they are lonely. Loneliness is a massive trigger for drugs. 'The older generation isn't so well informed because we have concentrated on warning young people about drugs. Representatives from both Mecca Bingo and Gala Bingo said that their companies took a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and banned taking them on their premises. Figures released early last year showed that, as well as record numbers of pensioners being hospitalised with drug problems, thousands more were seeking help to kick the habit.

Mr Echukwu's neighbour in Edgware, Margaret Brown, paid tribute to him today. Mrs Brown, 67, said: 'I'm devastated. He was such a sweet guy. I remember I used to talk to him a lot of the time. 'He kept himself to himself, but he used to talk to me and was very friendly. I think he was going through a difficult time. 'He was just such a gentle person. - I can't believe this has happened. Sometimes he would help me look after my disabled husband.' Mrs Brown said she believed Mr Echukwu was a care worker. She said she knew he had two sons from a previous relationship, but didn't see them very often. She added: 'He was a good-looking guy, and he always looked really slick.'

I dived in fully clothed, pausing only to take my iPhone out of my pocket. He was enormously heavy. 'Three of the guys pulled him out, with me pushing him from behind. They put him straight into the CPR position and tried to revive him. One of the guests was a qualified nurse.'

Some 24 per cent of 13 to 17-year-olds admitted they were continuously checking their devices, including when they were at school. Nine in teenagers also confessed to going online every day as they were unable to resist the lure of Facebook and Instagram. In danger? The study also looked at social media and found that middle class teenagers were more likely to use Snapchat, the controversial message service where messages disappears seconds after they are sent . Parents now find it increasingly difficult to monitor their children's online behaviour as more than 70 per cent of teens use now more than one social network. The study was carried out on American teenagers but the findings would likely be worse in the UK as more British teenagers own smartphones than their US counterparts. The Pew Research Centre asked 1,060 children aged between 13 and 17 about their phone habits. The report found that what Pew described as a \u2018frenzy of access\u2019 was facilitated by mobile phones - particularly smartphones. Of the 92 per cent of teens who went online every day, more than half said that meant using their phones several times a day. Some 12 per cent admitted to using a gadget once a day, six per cent said they went online just once a week and a mere two per cent said it was less than that. Addicted: Overall Facebook remains the most used social media site among teens with 71 per cent using it . In the largest ever systematic study of emails - examining more than 16 billion messages - researchers have found that most people send replies containing just five words. The study, which was conducted by researchers at Yahoo Labs and the University of Southern California, also found that our email habits also follow remarkable patterns. Replies become faster as the conversation progresses, but the researchers found they could tell when a email thread was about to end as the last reply was much slower than the previous replies. 'The long delay in a reply could be considered as a signal for the end of the conversation,' said the researchers, led by Farshad Kooti, a computer scientist at the University of Southern California. The study examined the emails sent by two million Yahoo users over a period of several months. They found that on average younger people tend to spend less time composing an email - with a reply time of around 13 minutes on average for teenagers. Young adults take 16 minutes, while those aged 36 to 50 years old spend around 24 minutes before sending their reply. Phone ownership was almost ubiquitous among young people, meaning they grow up used to being able to access anything any time they want.

Holidaymakers who announce they are going on a two-week trip or regularly post selfies from the beach on Facebook while they are away could find their insurer refusing to pay out if they are burgled . This is because most insurers have a 'reasonable care' clause, meaning firms don't have to offer up cash if they can prove people weren't careful enough in protecting their possessions. In the past this was used in cases of burglary where doors or windows were left unlocked or open, but increasingly it is being used against holidaymakers who advertise their vacation online. Police forces have repeatedly warned that would-be thieves will check social media to see whether property owners have said they will be away, before striking while nobody is home. According to The Sun, families that post pictures of themselves on sun loungers, or announce they are on the first day of a two-week trip could be deemed to be helping criminals. Most firms include 'reasonable care' clause in contracts, meaning they are not liable if people did not protect their property, and are now using against people who advertise breaks online .

After checking into a facility on January 28 and stating that he wanted to 'be a better family member, friend and teammate,' the Cleveland Browns quarterback is out and ready to begin offseason workouts with the team, which begin on April 20. This as many are still wondering what future the highly touted athlete will have in the NFL. Scroll down for videos . Johnny Manziel (above) has been released from rehab after entering a facility on January 28 . This after Manziel's partying had been a topic of conversation since his rookie season began last July, with some worried his drinking was a priority . Manziel's hard-partying and off-the-field antics were well known while he was in college . According to ESPN, Manziel was 'doing great' in rehab, and had the full support of his team. Now comes the real test however, as he will be forced to compete with Josh McCown for the starting quarterback position, who just signed a $14 million contract with the team that covers the next three seasons. This after a rookie season in which he saw limited game time and suffered difficult losses in his only two starts, Manziel was no doubt hoping to step out of the spotlight following the end of the Cleveland Browns season last December, but talk soon turned to whether or not the accomplished footballer might have a problem. Especially after one incident last year when, after partying until well past midnight, Manziel, who is suffering from an injured hamstring, skipped out on a Saturday morning team treatment session because he overslept, and in turn was fined by the Browns. Manziel was quick to apologize to the team for his behavior, saying; 'It\u2019s about being accountable . . . instead of looking like a jackass.' And while his season may have been over at that time, many believed Manziel would still tone things down for a bit in the wake of that controversy, which made it all the more shocking when he was spotted partying at FDR Lounge at the Delano in Miami on over the New Year holiday, alongside the likes of LeBron James and Ryan Phillippe, and then seen chugging champagne straight from the bottle while sitting poolside with girlfriend Colleen Crowley and some buddies poolside at the Delano. At this point, some in the sports world, chief among them columnist Skip Bayless, began to suggest that the Heisman Trophy winner needed to get help for his drinking. The aqthlete was in treatment for roughly six weeks before being released .

After Detective Constable Ciara Campbell broke up with police marksman Stuart Swarbrick, a \u2018large number\u2019 of photographs of his new partner, a civilian police worker, were found on her iPad, a jury was told. The 43-year-old, formerly of Lancaster CID in Lancashire, is accused of spying on her ex-partner PC Stuart Swarbrick 200 times between January 2013 and January 2014. A court heard Campbell also spied on PC Swarbrick's new girlfriend, Alice Coxhead, a civilian police support worker, 50 times using the system. However, the court was told that Campbell maintains she was simply trying to ensure she did not bump into or confront her ex or his new partner at work and wanted to \u2018just get on with her job\u2019.

Adam Crapser, 39, of Salem, was issued with deportation papers by the Department of Homeland Security in January and a hearing is set for April 2. The father-of-three, who has a fourth child on the way, arrived in America with the name Shin Sonh Hyuk in 1979 around the age of three along with his biological sister. However, his first set of adoptive parents abandoned him and the second set turned out to be abusive. Adding to Crapser's struggles, at no point did his guardians seek the green card or citizenship for him that they should have. Deportation fears: Korean adoptee Adam Crapser, left, poses with daughters, Christal, one, Christina, five, and his wife, Anh Nguyen, in the family's living room in Oregon . Now, after a life battling joblessness because of his lack of immigration papers, homelessness and crime, Crapser is facing deportation. 'The state abandoned him when he was a child,' his attorney, Lori Walls, said. 'Now the US is throwing him out.' Federal immigration officials say they became aware of Crapser after he applied to renew his green card two years ago: his criminal convictions, ranging from burglary to assault, made him potentially deportable under immigration law. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement wasn't aware of Crapser's childhood adoption history when it decided to pursue his deportation, agency spokesman Andrew Munoz said. Two U.S. senators, including Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, are proposing a stand-alone, automatic citizenship bill for adoptees like Crapser. Growing pains: This undated photo provided by Crapser shows him around the age of three with his sister . Struggles: Abandoned by one adoptive family, separated for nearly three decades from his only biological sister, and exposed to abuse by another American adoptive couple, Crapser struggled with rejection, homelessness and crime . 'It was not his responsibility to fill out that immigration paperwork,' Merkley said. 'He knows no other country.' Advocates say thousands of adoptees don't know they aren't citizens until they, for example, try to get a job. The federal government does not track the citizenship status of international adoptees or how many have faced deportation. The State Department says it is aware of adult adoptees who are in immigration removal proceedings. Adoptees who didn't become citizens are lawful permanent residents - but they lack the documents to prove it. Their stories about deportation to countries as diverse as India, Russia or Brazil are detailed on advocacy websites. Many of them remained stuck in legal limbo. A provision that would make citizenship automatic for all international adoptees regardless of age was added to a Senate immigration bill several years ago. But when reform stalled, the provision did, too.

+{"article": "Modern humans have been blamed for killing off the Neanderthals by out competing them, breeding with them and even outright murdering them. But new research suggests it may actually have been infectious diseases carried by our modern ancestors as they migrated out of Africa that finished them off. Scientists studying the latest genetic, fossil and archaeological evidence claim that Neanderthals suffered from a wide range of diseases that still plague us today. Scroll down for video . Neanderthals, like the reconstruction above on display at the Natural History Museum in London, may have succumbed to infectious diseases carried to Europe by modern humans as they migrated out of Africa . They have found evidence that suggests our prehistoric cousins would have been infected by diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid, whooping cough, encephalitis and the common cold. But anthropologists from Cambridge University and Oxford Brookes University say that new diseases carried by modern humans may have led to the downfall of Neanderthals. It has been around 30,000 years since the ancestors of modern-day humans are thought to have wiped out the ancient Neanderthals. But the extinct species could be taking revenge on us from beyond the grave by making us more vulnerable to potentially killer diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Neanderthals and modern humans are thought to have co-existed for thousands of years and interbred, meaning Europeans now have roughly two per cent Neanderthal DNA. These 'legacy' genes have been linked to an increased risk from cancer and diabetes by new studies looking at our evolutionary history. However, some genes we inherited could have also improved our immunity to other diseases. Scientists have found that part of our HLA system, which helps white blood cells to identify and destroy foreign material in the body, could have come from Neanderthals. Other researchers have suggested that humans outside Africa are more vulnerable to Type 2 Diabetes because they interbred with Neanderthals. Researchers from Oxford and Plymouth universities have also found that genes thought to be risk factors in cancer were present in the Neanderthal genome. A gene that can cause diabetes in Latin Americans is also thought to have come from Neanderthals, long before their ancestors colonised the New World. Another recent genetic study by scientists at the University at Buffalo has suggested that Neanderthals may have suffered from psoriasis and Crohn's disease, a condition that affects the digestive system. They speculate that pathogens like Heliocbacter pylori, the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers, were brought to Europe by modern humans from Africa and may have infected Neanderthals, who would have been unable to fight off these new diseases. However, Neandethals may have also helped modern humans by passing on slivers of immunity against some diseases to our ancestors when they interbred. Dr Simon Underdown, a principal lecturer in anthropology at Oxford Brookes University and co-author of the study, said: 'As Neanderthal populations became more isolated they developed very small gene pools and this would have impacted their ability to fight off disease. 'When Homo sapiens came out of Africa they brought diseases with them.", "summary": "Anthropologists claim that Neanderthals suffered many modern diseases . DNA analysis has shown that they had immunity against common illnesses . But they believe modern humans brought new infectious pathogens such as Heliocbacter pylori with them out of Africa and infected Neanderthals .

+{"article": "The skeleton of a new species of giant predatory bird that terrorised the Earth 3.5 million years ago has been discovered and is helping to reveal how these creatures would have sounded. Palaeontologists say the four feet (1.2 metres) tall bird is the most complete skeletons of a 'terror bird' - a group of flightless prehistoric meat-eating birds - to be discovered. The South American bird has been named Llallawavis scagliai - meaning Scaglia's Magnificent Bird after one of Argentina's famous naturalists Galileo Juan Scaglia. Scroll down for video . Llallawavis scagliai (shown in the reconstruction above) would have had powerful jaws but limited hearing . It was so well preserved that scientists have been able to study part of the bird's auditory system and its trachae. They say that while it had a terrifying apperance, its hearing was probably below average compared to birds living today. A giant prehistoric \u2018terror bird\u2019 - once thought to have been a ruthless predator which snapped the necks of mammals with its enormous beak - was actually a vegetarian, according to one study. The two-metre gastornis was a flightless creature which lived in Europe between 40 and 55 million years ago. Because of its size and ominous appearance, it was thought to be a top carnivore. But a team of German researchers, who studied fossilised remains of the beasts found in a former open cast coal mine, say they believe it was actually not a meat eater. Palaeontologists in the US have also found footprints believed to belong to the American cousin of gastornis, and these do not show the imprints of sharp claws, used to grapple prey, that might be expected of a raptor. Also, the bird\u2019s sheer size and inability to move fast made some believe it couldn\u2019t have preyed on early mammals - though others claim it might have ambushed them. They claim that the animal probably also had a limited vocal range that was quite low frequency. It has also raised the prospect that the bird may have even used low frequency sounds to help detect its prey. Dr Federico Degrange, a palaeontologist at the Centre for Research in Earth Sciences and the University of C\u00f3rdoba in Argentina, said: 'The mean hearing estimated for this terror bird was below the average for living birds. 'This seems to indicate that Llallawavis may have had a narrow, low vocalization frequency range, presumably used for intraspecific acoustic communication or prey detection.' Terror birds, or phorusracids as they are also known, were a group of carnivorous birds that grew up to 10 feet tall and had large hooked beaks. They were the dominant predators in South America during the Cenozoic age which started with the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Although smaller than some of the species discovered, Llallawavis scagliai, was one of the last terror birds to prowl the Earth before they died out around 2.5 million years ago.

Chief operating officer for Burton Hospitals Trust, Brendan Brown, defended the use of the lorry . Brendan Brown, chief operating officer for Burton Hospitals Trust, said that the temporary mortuary service adhered to the same robust standards and regulations as the normal mortuary. He said: 'Our priority is always patient care and ensuring that our patients and their relatives are treated with dignity and respect at all times. 'This approach extends to any essential contingency planning we may need to do as a trust, for example, the need to install temporary mortuary services when required, to help us increase capacity when faced with increased demand for those services. 'Putting the needs of patients and their families first was the basis for our decision to employ the use of temporary mortuary facilities.' Mr Brown added that the temporary facility was no longer on site as it was brought in only as and when required. A spokesman said the use of a refrigerated lorry was normal practice at hospitals across the country and, as most undertakers were closed on bank holidays, the hospital mortuary had filled up. A hospital employee said: 'Bodies were being viewed in the mortuary by relatives and then they were being transferred into this trailer and put on beds.'", "summary": "Bosses admitted they didn't tell relatives about the arrangement .

+{"article": "Methane, the principle component in natural gas, is usually produced by organic material decomposing. But there is another form of the deadly gas, dubbed abiotic methane, that is created by chemical reactions in the crust beneath the seafloor. Now scientists have found vast deep water gas hydrates in the Arctic that are reservoirs for abiotic methane \u2013 a gas which is 20 times more effective in trapping heat than carbon dioxide. The gas forms through a process called serpentinisation. Serpentinisation occurs when seawater reacts with hot mantle rocks exhumed along large faults within the seafloor . The reservoirs are secure, and scientists don't believe they will impact climate change. Instead, they say similar formations could someday be used to store methane, that can later be used as fuel. One reservoir was recently discovered on the ultraslow spreading Knipovich ridge, in the deep Fram Strait of the Arctic Ocean. 'This ultraslow spreading ridge shows that the Arctic environment is ideal for this type of methane production,' said Joel Johnson associate professor at the University of New Hampshire. The Center for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Climate and Environment (Cage) estimates that up to 15,000 gigatonnes of carbon may be stored in the form of hydrates in the ocean floor. Scientists have found vast deep water gas hydrates in the Arctic that are reservoirs for abiotic methane \u2013 a gas which is 20 times more effective in trapping heat than carbon dioxide. One such reservoir was recently discovered on the ultraslow spreading Knipovich ridge (pictured), in the deep Fram Strait of the Arctic Ocean. 'But this estimate is not accounting for abiotic methane. So there is probably much more,' said Cage director J\u00fcrgen Mienert. Methane is the second-largest greenhouse gas contributor to climate change. The gas is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat and is currently being targeted by government in an attempt to mitigate global warming. Methane pollution has declined by 11 per cent since 1990 even as the governments has pushed for greater use of natural gas. But the longer view on methane pollution show that it will rise. The Obama administration points to studies that show that methane pollution is projected to increase to a level equivalent to over 620 million tonnes of carbon dioxide pollution in 2030, if no action is taken. However, methane is also the principle component in natural gas. It is a lucrative fuel source, which could contain more energy than all the world's oil, coal and gas put together. They believe the gas forms through a process called serpentinisation. 'Serpentinisation occurs when seawater reacts with hot mantle rocks exhumed along large faults within the seafloor,' said Johnson. 'These only form in slow to ultraslow spreading seafloor crust. The optimal temperature range for serpentinisation of ocean crust is 200 \u2013 350 degrees Celsius.' Methane produced by serpentinisation can escape through cracks and faults, and end up at the ocean floor, causing a concern for future global warming. But in the Knipovich Ridge it is trapped as gas hydrate in the sediments. 'In other known settings", "summary": "Vast water hydrates in the Arctic are reservoirs for abiotic methane .

'I have enough experience to know that I have to live with reality and reality is points and the next game,' he said. 'The dreams are for everybody - we all have dreams at night, but when I wake up in the morning I have to come here and make sure we give everything to win the next game.' Wenger continued: 'Chelsea have a difficult schedule, we have a difficult schedule, but what we can only do is master our own schedule. 'What we want is to go as high as we can until the end of the season, give our best and we are also in the semi-final of the FA Cup.

Culture and Media Secretary Sajid Javid is setting out plans to shield youngsters from easy access to hardcore online pornography amid fears that it is corroding childhood. He promised legislation to force distributors to put effective age verification technology in place that would apply to those based in the UK as well as abroad. Scroll down for video . Easy access: The rising tide of online pornography is corroding children - but the Tories have now pledged to a radical change in the law to protect a generation of children from the tide of internet sleaze . If porn websites fail to comply, they will be blocked by a powerful new regulator which will be able to issue financial penalties. Mr Javid's pledge is a victory for the Daily Mail's long-running Block Online Porn campaign. Ministers have already persuaded internet service providers to start contacting all 19million UK households connected to the web and making them choose whether to apply family-friendly filters that block all porn sites. In addition, for any new broadband users, a block on pornographic websites is automatically applied by default. Customers now have to specifically ask for this filter to be removed \u2013 or to 'opt in' \u2013 in order to able to access adult material. But Mr Javid said a more radical crackdown was necessary to prevent children freely accessing pornography. 'Even the most attentive and engaged parents cannot know for sure which websites our children are visiting and what images they're seeing,' the minister told the Mail. 'In 2015 anyone, regardless of their age, is only ever two clicks away from the kind of material that would be kept well away from young eyes in the high street. 'Imagine a 12-year-old-boy being allowed to walk into a sex shop and leave with a DVD showing graphic, violent sexual intercourse and the subjugation of women,' he said. 'Yet each and every day children right across our country are being exposed to such images \u2013 it's happening online.' Mr Javid, who is increasingly tipped as a potential future Conservative leader, cited evidence that viewing hardcore porn can lead to children 'pressuring each other to try out things they've seen, and sharing inappropriate sexual pictures and videos'. 'It is because of these types of concerns that we have long restricted and regulated adult content in the offline world \u2013 magazines, TV, DVDs or video-on-demand content. 'Such protections are taken for granted, and, as the Daily Mail has argued for years, it's time our approach to the online world caught up.' Mr Javid said if the Tories win next month 'we will legislate to put online hardcore pornography behind effective age verification controls'. 'If websites showing adult content don't have proper age controls in place \u2013 ones that will stop children looking at this kind of material \u2013 they should and will be blocked altogether,' he added.

+{"article": "The attorney for an Arizona city where 19 firefighters died while battling a massive woodland blaze says he was told it was an order from the group's supervisor led to their deaths in June 2013. Prescott City Attorney Jon Paladini claims the fire's sole survivor, lookout Brendan McDonough, heard the leader of the Granite Mountain Hotshots order the crew to leave a safe spot where the fire had already burned. Paladini tells the Arizona Republic that he was told the order came just before winds whipped Yarnell Hill into a deadly, all encompassing firestorm. Fatal orders? The Yarnell Hill Fire killed 19 firefighters in 2013, the worst disaster of its kind since 1933. New revelations now claim their deaths came after their supervisor gave orders for the crew to leave a safe zone . But first, Paladini claims McDonough heard crew supervisor Eric Marsh and his top deputy arguing over making the dangerous move. Marsh ordered it, Paladini says, while his deputy Jesse Steed warned against it. Whether or not Paladini's claim is true, neither man is alive to verify it. What's more, Paladini's claim is based on what he says he was told by Darrell Willis, former chief of woodland fires for the city. Paladini says McDonough told Willis about the deadly decision. But neither Willis nor McDonough will verify that account. McDonough told the Arizona Republic when asked about the radio interaction he allegedly heard between Marsh and Steed: 'I think you're being misinformed.' Prescott, Arizona City Attorney Jon Paladini (left) claims that the lone surviving Granite Mountain Hotshot Brendan McDonough overheard an argument between the crew leader and his deputy over the move, which would prove deadly . Former Prescott Fire Division Chief Darrell Willis, seen here speaking during a memorial service honoring the 19 fallen firefighters, says McDonough came to him to get something 'off his shoulders.' Willis won't say what that was, but both he and McDonough have denied it was a recounting of any argument between crew chief Eric Marsh and his deputy Jesse Steed . And when the paper asked Willis about the argument, Willis said: 'That was not part of the detail that I knew \u2014 that he told me.' Paladini says that's a departure from what Willis previously told him. Paladini told the Arizona Republic, in part: . 'McDonough allegedly overheard radio traffic between Marsh and Steed... 'Marsh told Steed to leave the 'black,' which was safe... 'Steed protested, saying the move would be dangerous... 'That is what Darrell (Willis) told me,' Paladini said. Despite his claim that Paladini got the facts of their conversation wrong, Willis does not deny speaking to the attorney. Willis says he did so after McDonough came to him because he 'wanted to get something off his shoulders.' Willis, evidently, just isn't saying what that something was.

It has been revealed that starving competitors on the survival show hunted and killed an endangered crocodile during filming after the show's bosses mistook it for a more common species. Male competitors had not eaten for two weeks when they tracked down and killed what the show's producers thought was a common caiman - a small, relatively common reptile. Scroll down for video . Male competitors on Bear Grylls' show The Island had not eaten for two weeks when they killed what producers believed was a common caiman - but later discovered was an endangered American crocodile . However, suspicions were raised when the animal slain on camera appeared larger than usual, and it has now turned out to be an endangered American crocodile. While the animal's exact numbers in the wild are unknown, conservationists are in agreement that illegal hunting and habitat destruction have left it critically endangered. Most U.S. states in which the creature is native, along with islands in the Caribbean, parts of Mexico and South America have all passed laws protecting the creature. According to The Sun, the show's producers had surveyed the islands used during the show before contestants were set loose, trying to identify any animals which would be off-limits for hunting. A spokesman for Channel 4 said the islands used in the show were surveyed to establish what wildlife lived there before filming, and it was not known that American crocodiles (pictured) could be found there . While several caimans had been discovered, it was not known that the American crocodile also lived there until the competitors found it. The episode in which the animal is killed on a remote island off Panama, central America, will be screened tonight. A spokesman for Channel 4, which produced the show, said: 'This was a genuine and regrettable error. Prior to filming experts were consulted to ascertain species on both islands and the American crocodile was not known to be in the area or on the island. 'The relevant national environment agency are aware of the incident and have granted a licence to replace the animal which has now been done.'", "summary": "Male contestants had not eaten for two weeks when they killed reptile .

For in the wake of Amelie Mauresmo's announcement that she is pregnant, the world No 3's trial with his prospective assistant coach Jonas Bjorkman has assumed a greater importance. Mauresmo, who is to give birth some time in August, will be around eight months' pregnant during Wimbledon this summer, which is not finishing until July 12 due to the new three week gap between Roland Garros and The Championships. Andy Murray celebrates taking a set against Novak Djokovic in the final of the Miami Open . The British No 1 is set to marry his long-term girlfriend Kim Sears in Dunblane on Saturday . Therefore Bjorkman is likely to have a key part to play as Murray attempts to regain his title at SW19 \u2013 something which, given his improved form during the first part of the season and his prowess on grass, is well within his reach this year. Beyond that the 43 year-old Swede may also come into his own, as it is unclear how this will affect Mauresmo's 26 week per year commitment to the Scot, which is almost exclusively spent on the road. She also has the part-time job of being Captain of the French Fed Cup team, who are in action next weekend. Mauresmo has never made any secret of the fact that the travel is the part of the job that least appeals to her, and that will inevitably become more complicated with a baby on board. Already it must be very questionable whether she would be at the US Open which begins at the end of the August, although there has been no comment on this from either her or Murray, who has been up in Scotland ahead of tying the knot with Kim Sears in Dunblane. Murray's current coach Amelie Mauresmo has recently announced that she is expecting a baby .

The body was discovered at the West Colonial Drive home when an out-of-state family member called in a well-being check. WKMG reports that an initial investigation determined there was foul play. 'My biggest concern is that he might come back,' said neighbor Natalie Randall, a resident of the Winter Garden RV Resort. An attorney for his estranged wife confirmed Shemansky's failure to appear for the scheduled visit. He is already on parole for battery on law enforcement, has a history of bipolar mental illness, and was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward for an attempted suicide. His mother was there to help him as he went through a divorce. His wife filed a domestic violence injunction against him two years ago, according to her attorney, Diana Knowles Dunlop. Neighbors said his mother may have been the one preventing him from making the meeting with his son. Neighbors at the Winter Garden RV Resort believe divorce proceedings may have pushed Shemansky over the edge . 'His mom wouldn't allow him to go,' Nathan Tanner told reporters.

Austrian designers, Maya Pindeus, 24, and Johanna Pichlbauer, 25, have created a robot that takes the effort out of applying make-up - by doing it for you. The device applies eyeliner with a long black brush, while an attachment smears lipstick on lips, before lighting up when the process is complete. Scroll down for video . There's clearly still a few precision kinks with the Beautification machine created by Austrian designers Maya Pindeus and Johanna Pichlbauer . A visitor lets the machine apply her red lipstick thanks to a crank which creates a circular rotation . The robot made its debut at the exhibition, Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Etienne 2015, in France, and gallery visitors were in for a treat. The machine is composed of three components: a lipstick wheel, an eyeliner applicator, and a mask which illuminates when the 'beautification' was complete. Women were then filmed testing the machine for the two University of Vienna students' art project entitled Beautification. When creating a device for such a personal ritual as applying make-up, anyone would think that the robots would favour precision and speed, but this was - hilariously- not the case. The beginning of the video shows the designers setting up and creating the machine's frame which includes two magnified mirrors. Each device is fitted with chin rests in order to let the user know where to position their faces. Another girl has felt the wrath of the machine, which has dealt her face many random strokes of eyeliner . A gallery visitor rests her head on the chin rest, expecting eyeliner to be expertly applied . The eyeliner is fixed to a robotic arm, which moves the brush in a movement intended to mimic that of a hand, against the backdrop of a mirror with the motto, 'with determined brush strokes the cosmetic ritual takes its course' inscribed into the glass. The lipstick wand is secured to a crank which rotates in small circles. Once each area has been completed, a mask threaded with LEDs lights up in the corresponding part of the female face. The video shows how it's only when visitors begin trying out the make-up robot that they realise precision is not the machine's greatest attribute. Each woman rests their chin on the chin-rest and the eyeliner brush is seen swiping wildly, leaving them with smears of kohl on their foreheads, eyelids and along the bridge of their nose. At one point the robot actually smears the eyeliner directly into a unsuspecting girl's eye. The lipstick robot is slightly more successful than the eyeliner robot, as the user can control how much lipstick is applied . Next a woman trials the lipstick wand but the speedy circular rotation of the lipstick isn't well aligned to the natural shape of a pair of lips.

And while alcohol is the key to removing a spilled glass, the solution doesn't lie in a glass of Pino Grigio. In a video, a scientist has revealed how gin and vodka dilute red wine stains, why vinegar is so good at removing mineral deposits on glass, and how spit tackles stubborn food stains in your kitchen. Scroll down for video . Red wine is red because of pigments known as anthocyanins, which are alcohol soluble. When higher concentrations of clear alcohol, such as gin, vodka or white rum, are poured onto the stain, the colours dissolve into the liquid rather than drying into the carpet. These can then be soaked up using a paper towel . The video was created by the Washington-based American Chemical Society (ACS) as part of its Reactions series. It covers three household cleaning 'hacks' for windows, carpets and counter tops. The first reveals an alternative to window cleaner is to add two cups of water and a quarter cup of 70 per cent rubbing alcohol to an empty spray bottle. As the video explained: 'Vinegar is a fantastic cleaner and the secret to its cleaning capacity is acetic acid.' Gin: Pour gin, or another high-proof clear liquor, onto a red wine stain and soak it up with a cloth. Spit: Your own spit can be used to lift food stains from counter tops or hard surfaces. Bananas: Wipe the inside of the banana skin on the spot of leather that needs to be cleaned. When finished, rub with a damp cloth. Cola: Pour into the toilet bowl and leave to sit for an hour to allow the acid to take effect. Clean the inside of the bowl with a toilet brush and flush away. Vinegar also works. Tomato ketchup: Good for cleaning brass, copper and silver elements. Rub onto the area that needs cleaning, leave to work and wipe with a moist cloth. Mayonnaise: Ideal for removing marks on wood. Use a cloth with a small amount of mayonnaise and wipe the mark that needs to be removed. Leave the oils to work and wipe away any residue with a clean cloth. Brazil nuts: Also effective on wood surfaces. Cut a nut in half and rub vigorously over any scratches. Potatoes: Cut the potato in half and dip the side without peel into baking soda. When covered, firmly rub the potato on rusted areas. Grapefruit: Remove limescale by cutting the grapefruit in half and sprinkling one half with salt. Scrub the area and rinse with water. Coffee: Place dry ground coffee into an old margarine tub with holes in the lid. Place in the fridge and leave to eliminate odour. Acetic acid sits at a 2.4 on the pH scale making it very acidic.

The Prime Minister pledged to deliver effective \u2018home rule\u2019 for England - giving MPs the same powers to set tax rates which have been agreed for Scotland following last year's independent referendum.

Under Mr Cameron's plan English, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs being able to set a separate rate of income tax to that in Scotland with MPs north of the border having no say . Mr Cameron said a Conservative government would have the new system in place in time for the first budget of the new parliament in March 2016. It will mean English, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs being able to set a separate rate of income tax to that in Scotland \u2013 where the SNP is expected to hold sway after the election \u2013 with MPs north of the border having no say. If Wales votes in favour of the Welsh Assembly having income tax powers like those being devolved to Holyrood in a proposed referendum, Welsh MPs would also be excluded. The plan will involve reforming Parliament\u2019s committee stage, where MPs discuss legislation in detail. No Bill or part of a Bill relating only to England would be able to pass to its third reading and become law without being approved in a \u2018grand committee\u2019 made up of all English MPs. The plan is likely to trigger a row with Labour, which opposes the idea of an English veto. Mr Cameron helps build an industrial fan during a campaign visit in Colchester in Essex this afternoon . The Prime Minister's visit came as he courted English voters with an election pledge to create a separate rate of income tax for England . The party has traditionally relied on the votes of its army of Scottish MPs at Westminster, which it used to implement tuition fees and foundation hospitals even though they did not apply in Scotland. Labour\u2019s leader in Scotland Jim Murphy yesterday claimed Mr Cameron was \u2018cheap\u2019, \u2018nasty\u2019 and an \u2018election agent\u2019 for the SNP in Scotland. \u2018He has given up on the Scottish Tory party and is throwing his lot in with the SNP. David Cameron is the agent and the campaign manager for the SNP,\u2019 Mr Murphy said. But Mr Cameron, speaking Lincoln, said: \u2018We do not support English nationalists, we do not want an English Parliament, we are the Conservative and Unionist Party through and through. \u2018This manifesto simply recognises that the democratic picture has got more complicated in the UK, so beyond our main manifesto, English voters deserve one document, clarifying in black and", "summary": "The Tories publish a separate 'English manifesto' for the first time .

The families of victims of Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe are furious at plans to move him from Broadmoor to a low-security Priory unit. Mass murderer Sutcliffe has spent more than three decades in Broadmoor for the savage killings of 13 women. But now, despite being one of the country\u2019s most notorious serial killers, Sutcliffe may be moved to a cushy Priory unit set in Berkshire woodland. Sutcliffe is being lined up for the move after he expressed remorse and said he no longer hears the 'voices from God' which he had blamed for his killing spree at his 1981 trial. A report is being compiled which will be heard next month at a prison tribunal which will rule if the move goes ahead. But families of his victims are furious about the move. Neil Jackson, whose mother Emily, 46, became the Ripper's second victim in 1976, told the Sun: 'He should not be moved at all. 'As he's in Broadmoor, he should stay there and they should throw away the key. This just rubs salt into the wounds of families and I believe any remorse he has shown is fake.' A source at the prison told the newspaper Sutcliffe was optimistic about the move - despite being previously turned down for a transfer to the unit which boasts facilities such as a fully-fitted gym and music room. Plans of his referral follow allegations earlier this year that Sutcliffe, who used weapons including a hammer, screwdriver and knives to mutilate women across the north of England, was enjoying an easy lifestyle in jail.

It has been an extraordinary journey for Hemphrey from a second XI debut for Kent at 15 to his recent status as the first Englishman to hit a Sheffield Shield hundred since John Hampshire for Tasmania in 1978.

It put him in the frame for higher honours when the Shield season reopened post-Big Bash and a new year injury to Australia batsman Usman Khawaja gave him his chance. On February 7 he pulled on the maroon cap for the first time. James Pattinson dismissed him for a second-ball duck but Queensland \u2013 showing numerous changes in the wake of Stuart Law's removal as coach \u2013 crushed eventual champions Victoria by an innings.

Victor Wanyama's future came under question after an interview where he seemed to hint at move to Arsenal . Morgan Schneiderlin, Nathaniel Clyne and Jay Rodriguez have all been linked with a move away, while Wanyama was quoted on Thursday claiming Arsenal were interested in his services. The Kenyan denied making those comments in subsequently deleted Twitter posts - an incident which proved the catalyst to Koeman sitting his squad down on Thursday morning. 'I spoke to Victor this morning,' Koeman said. 'We had a meeting with all the players because what we need is now to really have the focus on the last five games. We play for a European position on the table. 'We have a massive game this Saturday and no interest in talking about rumours in the press about future and contracts and have the focus on the football side. 'That's difficult but it's not true what they put in the press and I believe the player. Koeman spoke to Wanyama and his other players to refocus them on the last five Premier League games . Morgan Schneiderlin has been linked with moves to Arsenal and Tottenham in another Saints firesale . 'It's a good signal for everybody that we have to be focused to the football side and not about the contracts. I do not answer any more questions about player's contracts and the focus on the last five games.' Koeman called the Wanyama story 'bulls***' in a separate interview and the midfielder later posted on Twitter to clarify the situation. 'Sorry - was caught off guard this morning about a story that I hadn't read,' he said. 'To put it straight: We all respect Arsenal but right now I'm only focussed on helping Saints to have a strong finish to the season. Manchester United are said to be interested in signing Southampton's English right back Nathaniel Clyne . 'The newspaper article does not say that I have spoken to Wenger or anyone else from Arsenal - and that's the truth. 'We are doing so well and what other managers think of me as a player is totally out of my control.' Wanyama is one of a number of players to have spoken about their future in recent months, with such comments becoming increasingly regular as the season comes to a close. A week does not go by without Koeman having to field questions about the future of his players and that is something he says has to", "summary": "Ronald Koeman called a meeting to refocus his Southampton players .

A father allegedly abused by Lord Janner has called for the top legal official who decided against prosecuting him to step down.

Last night, one of the nine victims who had been lined up to give evidence against the former Leicester West MP waived his right to anonymity to say the decision \u2018beggars belief\u2019 \u2013 and claimed it points to an establishment cover-up.

The world's largest atom-smashing machine is most famous for proving the existence of the Higgs boson - but scientists hope it will now unlock even more fundamental secrets of the universe. Physicists at Cern, the Geneva-based organisation which runs the LHC, are aiming to see dark matter for the first time ever thanks to the device's upgrade. Scroll down for video . Back to work: The Large Hadron Collider is operating again after two years being upgraded . The LHC is situated underground below the border between Switzerland and France, and consists of nearly 17 miles of circular tunnels. It was shut down two years ago - after confirming the discovery of the Higgs boson - so that its energy levels could be almost doubled, allowing scientists to carry out more extreme experiments. The re-opening was delayed by another couple of weeks thanks to a short circuit in the system, but this morning it started operating again at last. After two beams of particles were sent flying through the tunnels at a speed just slower than light, Cern's director general Rolf Heuer said: 'Congratulations. Thank you very much everyone... now the hard work starts.' Workers - who were earlier given Easter eggs by one of the centre's bosses - cheered when it was confirmed that the machine was back in operation. Ambition: Scientists hope the machine will be able to detect and describe dark matter for the first time . The LHC, which cost nearly \u00a34billion, is currently running at a low 'injection' energy of 450 giga-electron volts (GeV), but in June it will increase to a record-breaking 13 tera-electron volts (TeV) - up from 7 TeV at the time it managed to detect the Higgs boson in 2013. British scientist Peter Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize after the discovery of the particle, which he and others predicted would exist but which had never been seen until the construction of the LHC. When physicists study the dynamics of galaxies and the movement of stars, they are confronted with a mystery. If they only take visible matter into account, their equations simply don't add up; the elements that can be observed are not sufficient to explain the rotation of objects and the existing gravitational forces. There is something missing. From this they deduced that there must be an invisible kind of matter that does not interact with light but does, as a whole, interact by means of the gravitational force. Called 'dark matter', this substance appears to make up at least 80 per cent of the matter in the known universe. Now the physicists operating the machine have their sights on dark matter, the invisible, undetectable material that makes up 84 per cent of matter in the universe and binds galaxies together yet whose nature is unknown. If they are able to detect and describe dark matter, it will mark a huge leap forward in our understanding of the universe.", "summary": "The Large Hadron Collider has spent the past two years being upgraded .

But with the cost of maintenance and repairs to damaged public housing nearing $13 million a year in NSW alone, the State Government has had enough and is planning to make tenants pay a bond before they move in. Communities Minister Brad Hazzard said it was a 'very likely possibility' the plan would be implemented in the near future. 'The critical argument for it is that at the moment the maintenance costs, including damage from poor tenancy, are in the order of approximately $12-13 million per year,' Mr Hazzard told Daily Mail Australia.

'I'd like to see at least a reasonable portion of that money saved and put into more public housing. We have very long public housing tenancy waiting lists.' Mr Hazzard, who took over the portfolio after the March election, said he was alerted to the fact public housing tenants don't pay a bond when consulting with workers in the field.

Andrew Danziger claimed that virtually all airmen believe in unidentified flying objects and that he had his own close encounter in the cockpit between Kansas and Iowa in April 1989. The aircraft captain said the UFO initially appeared as a white disc before changing into a 'giant red ball.' The aviator, who has 28 years of cockpit experience, said the alien aircraft glowed bright red for around 30 seconds before disappearing below the clouds, according to the New York Daily News.

The husband of billionaire heiress Tamara Ecclestone earned just \u00a365 a week from his firm last year, it was revealed today. Jay Rutland, 34, who is married to the 30-year-old daughter of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, saw his company bring in just \u00a33,378 over the 12 months to July 2014. The training consultant\u2019s firm Brigante Business Developments, based in Battersea, south-west London, is listed in company records as providing \u2018management consultancy activities\u2019. Its latest accounts for the year to July 2014 were filed to Companies House a fortnight ago, showing the company - which was incorporated in July 2012 - having total net assets of \u00a33,378, down from \u00a318,131 the year before. The former stockbroker - who lives with his wife and daughter Sophia, one, in a \u00a345million house in west London - married the heiress in a \u00a37million wedding in France in July 2013. The couple, who met in January 2013 and were engaged a month later, celebrated Sophia\u2019s first birthday last month with a farmyard-themed party that cost an estimated \u00a370,000. This included ponies, a zebra, a balloon house and even a magical princess. And last year Sophia enjoyed a private visit from Father Christmas and a replica electric Bentley car toy. Miss Ecclestone\u2019s family is worth an estimated \u00a33billion - and the couple are said to own a \u00a3300,000 Ferrari, \u00a3123,000 Bentley GT Continental and a \u00a3100,000 Range Rover. Family life: The former stockbroker lives with his wife and one-year-old daughter Sophia (pictured) in London . Company: Brigante Business Developments is based in this building (above) in Battersea, south-west London . A spokesman told The Sun yesterday: \u2018Although this company is still active it had not been trading in the financial year the filing reflects.\u2019 Mr Rutland's high-earning career in the City of London ended in shame in 2012, when he was banned from trading over 'market abuse'. In a damning ruling, the Financial Services Authority concluded he was not a 'fit and proper person' and his behaviour demonstrated a lack of 'honesty and integrity'. In 2013 Mr Rutland needed treatment for facial cuts after he was ambushed by two men in a mugging when he stopped his black Ferrari - just a month after marrying Miss Ecclestone. He was robbed of a \u00a350,000 Rolex and a \u00a320,000 bracelet by at least two thugs in an attack caught on CCTV, but the high-profile prosecution of a suspect was dropped due to insufficient evidence.

The number of teenagers getting straight As at GCSE has soared by a third in just five years, new figures show. More than 20,000 children passed ten or more with either an A or an A* grade, Department for Education statistics reveal. But critics say increasing numbers of high-fliers mean not enough has been done to stop qualifications becoming too easy. The latest figures show that one in 30 pupils who sat the exams ended up with at least ten A grades. In 2009, the number of students who managed to get straight As was 15,791. This rose to 16,983 in 2010, 18,468 in 2011 and 18,829 in 2012. In 2013, the latest year for which figures are available, 20,307 received As across the board. The figures suggest Britain\u2019s most able students are increasingly getting top marks in all subjects. GCSE grades are used by universities to decide who to admit to courses, along with personal statements and references. However, as a greater proportion of pupils is classified as excellent, it is harder for top universities such as Oxford and Cambridge to identify truly exceptional youngsters. And while British results appear to be improving for some pupils, the country is slipping behind other nations when measured using international tests. Results published just over a year ago showed British teenagers dropped out of the top 20 rankings in maths, science and reading for the first time. Tests on more than half a million pupils worldwide found those in Vietnam, Shanghai and Poland had a much better command of core subjects. Children in the Chinese city of Shanghai were three years ahead of their British counterparts by 15. Overall, the UK came 26th out of 65 countries and economic regions in the report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Christopher McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said: \u2018Sadly, grade inflation has devalued GCSEs to such an extent that any pass below a B has become little more than a certificate of incompetence. Critics say increasing numbers of high-fliers mean not enough has been done to stop qualifications becoming too easy. GCSE grades are used by universities to decide who to admit to courses (file picture) \u2018International comparisons of educational attainment, very serious concerns expressed by employers and the fact that many universities now have to put on remedial catch-up courses for new undergraduates, all point to a disastrous dumbing down of standards.\u2019 The Coalition tried to halt grade inflation by making qualifications more rigorous, but many reforms are still being implemented. A Conservative Party spokesman said: \u2018Importantly, while overall results are up, the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and peers is closing.\u2019 Meanwhile, it emerged yesterday that teenagers applying to university had their details wrongly passed to advertisers, the data protection watchdog ruled yesterday.

Soon after that, Crawford was a two-time WBO champion, winning the latest title in his first fight since moving up in class. Crawford won the vacant WBO junior welterweight title with a sixth-round technical knockout Saturday night, knocking down Dulorme three times in quick fashion after that big blow. Terence Crawford (right) defeated Thomas Dulmorme in the sixth round with a technical knock out . 'I knew I hurt him, I felt it,' Crawford said. 'I knew he was hurt real bad. I wanted to just jump on him. ... He was woozy.' With Dulorme stunned, Crawford hit him again and knocked him down for the first time. Then Crawford delivered a flurry of punches, leading to another knockdown. When Dulorme got back up, Crawford unloaded again - and the fight was stopped as Dulorme staggered against the ropes near his corner. 'Basically a shot that I didn't see, and the shot got me,' Dulorme said through an interpreter. Crawford remained undefeated, winning as a heavy favorite in his first fight moving in the 140-pound class. He won the WBO lightweight title 13 months ago and defended in the 135-pound division twice in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.

He had won his last six bouts since moving down in class after being knocked out by Luis Carlos Abregu at 147 pounds in a welterweight fight in October 2012. 'It was a great opportunity for us,' Dulorme said. 'It wasn't the best night. We were winning in the cards, it's something that basically happened. ... We did the fight that we came here to do.' Crawford seemed measured in his approach the first two rounds against the quick-starting Dulorme, who entered the ring wearing a gladiator helmet and breastplate. Dulorme was clearly the aggressor early against Crawford, who went with a red Nebraska Cornhuskers cap for his entry. Crawford dominated the fight throughout and Dulmorne couldn't handle his speed and punching power . But in round 3, there was a quick exchange of punches, and later a hard body blow by Crawford. There were times in the fourth and fifth rounds when Crawford either smiled or shook his head after taking blows from Dulorme. Crawford taunted him, and at the end of the fourth had him back into a corner and delivered two big rights. Crawford was also smiling at the end of the fifth round, then came out in the sixth and ended the fight. 'Just having fun with it,' he said.

United have been slowly resurgent since the turn of the year, with the 20-time English champions third in the Barclays Premier League and odds-on to secure a Champions League return despite last weekend's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea.

+{"article": "Charged with four offences: Sunderland footballer Adam Johnson arrives to answer bail at Peterlee police station in County Durham yesterday . An England footballer was yesterday charged with grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. Adam Johnson, 27, who plays in the Premier League for Sunderland and has represented his country 12 times, faces a lengthy jail term if he is convicted. The \u00a310million winger was arrested seven weeks ago and learnt his fate during an arranged appointment at Peterlee police station, Durham. Johnson, the father of a three-month-old daughter, has been accused of three offences of sexual activity with a child under 16 and one of grooming. The \u00a350,000-a-week player is due to appear before Peterlee magistrates on May 20 and the case will then be transferred to crown court. His team is playing Arsenal away that evening in the penultimate game of their league battle against relegation. The case threatens to put an end to the talented attacker\u2019s glittering career. Last night, it was not clear if he will be allowed to continue playing before his case is dealt with. Gerry Wareham, of the Crown Prosecution Service, announced the decision to charge Johnson. He said it was in the public interest to charge the footballer and there was a \u2018realistic prospect\u2019 of a conviction. Johnson was told of the charges he will face during a 20-minute meeting with detectives. Dressed in a navy tracksuit and white trainers, he emerged grim-faced and walked swiftly out of the police station without commenting before being driven away. He stands accused of three offences of sexual activity with a child, contrary to Section 9 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The offences are said to have taken place between December 30 last year and February 26. He has also been charged with meeting a child following sexual grooming under Section 15 of the Act. Johnson was arrested on March 2 at his six-bedroom, \u00a31.9million home in Castle Eden, near Hartlepool. Court date: Premier League winger Johnson (centre) will appear at Peterlee Magistrates\u2019 Court on May 20 . Winger: Johnson (left, with long-time girlfriend Stacey Flounders, and right, in a match against Newcastle United on April 5) has made 31 appearances for Sunderland this season, scoring five goals . He became a father for the first time on January 8 when his girlfriend Stacey Flounders, 25, gave birth to their daughter Ayla Sofia. The alleged sexual activity offences cover a period while she was pregnant and after she gave birth. Johnson was born in Sunderland and raised in Easington, County Durham, before joining Middlesbrough\u2019s youth academy as a 12-year-old. He made his Premier League debut for the club in 2005 and was sold in 2010 to Manchester City. Sunderland signed him for \u00a310million in 2012. Initially the player was suspended after his arrest. But two weeks later, he was allowed back to training and returned to the team under Sunderland\u2019s new manager Dick Advocaat.

According to author Peter Schweizer there is a clear trend of money flowing into the controversial Clinton Foundation and rewards emerging for donors - in forms such as free trade agreements and development projects. The claims against Clinton, Secretary of State from 2009-13, are laid out in Clinton Cash, due to be published May 5th by HarperCollins. Bombshell: Clinton Cash, right, a new book by Peter Schweizer, is set to spell out a trend whereby big money donors to the Clinton Foundation found U.S. policies coming out of the State Department shift in their favor . Introducing the book, former George W Bush speechwriter said: 'We will see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds'. The passage, and examples of the donations and decisions Schweizer analyzes, were published Sunday by the New York Times, which was given an advance copy of the book. The Times reported that Clinton Cash lists examples of the pattern including a free trade agreement in Colombia that benefited a donor with industrial interests there. It also cites development projects in Haiti after their devastating 2010 earthquake, and a $1million payment to Bill Clinton made by a Canadian shareholder in the Keystone XL oil pipeline while it was being discussed by State Department officials. Author: Peter Schweizer, pictured, researched donations made to Clinton's foundation and was noted by the Times for 'meticulously' documenting his sources . As well as contending that the Clintons favored donors to swell the coffers of the foundation, Schweizer also writes that some of the big-money deals 'put millions in their own pockets'. Marketing information from HaperCollins includes more claims, citing 'the Clinton\u2019s [sic] troubling dealings in Kazakhstan, Colombia, Haiti, and other places at the \"wild west\" fringe of the global economy.' It continued that the book will see Schweizer raise 'serious questions of judgment, of possible indebtedness to an array of foreign interests, and ultimately, of fitness for high public office.' The White House declined on Monday to categorically rule out the occurrence of any wrongdoing but said there's no 'tangible evidence to indicate that it did.' 'I'm not gonna be in a position here, where every time somebody raises a spurious claim...to sit down here and say that it's not true,' President Barack Obama's spokesman, Josh Earnest, said. Earnest directed reporters who had further questions to Clinton's presidential campaign. Clinton allies have characterized the book as simply the latest in a series of 'absurd conspiracy theories' designed to derail Clinton's 2016 campaign. According to the Times, Republican senators - including presidential candidates Rand Paul and Marco Rubio - have been briefed on the book's findings, and are working them into their campaigns. Paul in particular has been unstinting in his criticism of Clinton, positioning himself as an anti-Hillary candidate before she even announced she was running.

She wrote: 'I'm only in my bathing suit and feeling overdressed, wondering if I too should strip down and join him in his royal buff.' Ms Reichert went on to claim that alcohol gave her the confidence to approach the Prince before they shared a kiss. She said: 'This surreal moment felt more like a dream: I'm kissing a Prince! Tasting his lips and feeling his tongue, encouraging what is now a hot, deep kiss, both of us excited, anticipating what is yet to come.'

The mountain lion, known as P-22, left the Los Feliz home in the early hours of Tuesday, having created quite the media circus in the affluent Hollywood suburb. His departure was announced on Twitter by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which tweeted 'the cougar has left the building' at 9.28am. New home: The lion - known as P-22 - was found by workers in the crawl space at midday on Monday . Courageous: On Tuesday morning, after the cougar's signal moved away from the area, a couple of brave animal welfare officers decided to conduct a thorough search of the area under the Los Feliz home . Gone: Luckily for them, P-22 had moved away overnight, and was moving back towards the park . 'Likes': The incident has made P-22 even more famous, with another 1,400 people liking his Facebook page . The lion usually lives in nearby Griffith Park, but on Monday was discovered in the crawl space of Jason and Paula Archinac's home by an unsuspecting alarm technician. 'He came out white as a ghost,' Animal Service's Armando Navarrete told KTLA. The house was soon surrounded by a host of media outlets - including a circling helicopter - while a live stream meant Los Angeles' residents could keep an eye on animal services' attempts to move the lion. But P-22 was not prepared to be moved, despite being poked gently with a long prod \u2014 which only led to welfare officers temporarily losing the pricey GoPro camera they'd attached to the end of it that fell off. Welfare officers then attempted to fire a tennis ball cannon into the crawl space with hopes that at least the noise and commotion would scare him out, a tactic that often works with coyotes. Next, they fired small bean bags, the same kind police sometimes use for human crowd control, toward the cat. Resident: The beautiful animal may have been living in the crawlspace for some time before being discovered . Rescue: Attempts to get the lion to move out - including firing tennis balls - were unsuccessful . None of it worked, so they asked everyone to clear the area, in the hope that P-22 might move on his own accord. And the tactic worked: the mountain lion, who crossed two freeways when he travelled from the Santa Monica Mountains to the park more than three years ago, was gone when they returned in the morning. But even though the animal's tracking device - fitted some years ago - was no longer sounding in the area, it was decided it was still best to double check the area was cougar-free.

The first black man ever to be hired as a police officer in a small northwestern town had his SUV sprayed with the N-word over a planned racial discrimination case against town authorities. Gerry Pickens, 28, was fired by the chief of police in Orting, Washington, after just under a year on the town's police force - an act he claims is motivated by racism. Pickens was more used to drugs busts and violent robberies at his previous posting in Atlanta, Georgia - but took a pay cut and moved to quiet Orting, which has just 11 police officers. However, before his probation year was out, Pickens said he had become the butt of racist jokes from residents and his fellow cops - and was eventually fired for reasons he says are down to the color of his skin. The situation came to a head earlier this year, when he woke to find his car daubed with racist graffiti, seemingly prompted by fears he would sue over his dismissal. The vehicle, a Ford Explorer, was filmed by local news station KIRO in the wake of the racist act. On one side, 'n****r' had been sprayed in huge letters. The other side read: 'Sue cheif [sic] and pay'. He later told the King5 TV station: 'I'm in fear for my life because I don't know who in Orting is out to get me'. The incident, at the end of January this year, came to light again after the Washington Post published a long account of Pickens' time in Orting, detailing some of what he sees as racist treatment. 'Sue cheif and pay': Vandals sprayed a misspelled message on the right hand side of Pickens' car dissuading him from legal action. The other side reads 'n****r' He told reporter Eli Saslow that shortly after he started a member of the public played a practical joke on him by calling 911 to report a 'black juvenile' driving a police car after they saw Pickens on patrol. Officers turned it into a joke, continuing to refer to him as the 'black juvenile'. He was also reportedly called a 'token black guy' by colleagues, and feels his vacation requests were handled differently. He also said he was treated unfairly over a complaint that he used a local gym without paying. The allegation - which, according to the News Tribune, was later dropped, saw him suspended from duty. Around the same time, Pickens said, a white officer was subject to an excessive force complaint, but was allowed to keep policing the whole time. Small town: Orting, a Washington town with a population of 8,000, had never had a black cop before Pickens .

Hinckley's attorney, Barry Levine, said on Wednesday on the first day of hearings that Hinckley is 'clinically ready' to live permanently outside the hospital, a position supported by his treatment team. Levine said that the mental illness that drove the then 25-year-old Hinckley to shoot the president in 1981 in an effort to impress actress Jodie Foster has been in 'full and stable remission' for more than two decades. But Levine and government lawyers disagree about the conditions Hinckley should have to comply with if he is allowed to live full-time outside of St. Elizabeth's mental hospital in Washington, his home since a jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity in the shooting.

The shares are one of the most popular in the UK due to the hugely successful \u2018Tell Sid\u2019 advertising campaign when British Gas was privatised. Last night shares in what is now called the BG Group rose by nearly 30 per cent to 1,153p. The shares are one of the most popular in the UK due to the hugely successful \u2018Tell Sid\u2019 advertising campaign when British Gas was privatised . The rise came after the oil giant Royal Dutch Shell announced plans to buy BG Group in a \u00a347billion deal. It is one of the biggest takeovers ever. News of the deal has driven up the price of shares in BG now owned by people who originally bought British Gas shares in 1986. British Gas was privatised by Margaret Thatcher\u2019s government after the widely publicised \u2018Tell Sid\u2019 campaign. The share sell-off, which encouraged people to spread news of the offer with the slogan \u2018If you see Sid, tell him\u2019, saw more than 1.5million people pay 135p a share when the company was listed on the Stock Exchange. In 1997 British Gas was split in two to form the oil explorer BG Group and the British Gas owner Centrica. Shareholders received shares in both companies. Those investors who retained these shares have since received hundreds of pounds in dividends. Anyone who bought 100 shares at the time of privatisation would have paid \u00a3135 (\u00a3366 today, after taken inflation into account). The holding across the now separate companies of Centrica, National Grid and BG Group, is currently worth more than \u00a31,604. The proposed Shell takeover will mean investors are now due 383p for every BG share they own. Investors will also be in line for higher dividends. But the windfall pales in comparison to the rewards for BG Group\u2019s newly arrived chief executive Helge Lund who could be in line for more than \u00a330million in pay and perks if the deal completes next year. Ben van Beurden, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, (left) shakes hands with the Chairman GB group Andrew Gould (right) during a press conference to announce Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to buy British Gas, in London . Mr Lund was poached by BG to help turn around the group and started in February, just weeks before talks to sell the business began. The takeover, which will create a company valued at \u00a3200billion, could be the first of many in the oil sector as the falling oil price, means firms are vulnerable to predators. The bid has been months in the planning. Shell \u2018ran the numbers\u2019 on BG, Britain\u2019s third largest energy company, last year as its share price has fallen by a fifth since the oil price crash.

A study found that if doctors know patients well, they could mistake warning signs for ongoing medical problems or depression. The study of 18,500 patients found that people with bowel cancer who saw their normal GP were diagnosed, on average, a week later than others. Patients who always see the same GP are more likely to have cancer symptoms missed, research has shown (posed by model) The findings are worrying because Britain has one of the lowest cancer survival rates in Europe, and this has partly been blamed on family doctors missing symptoms. Even delays of a few weeks can be vital because the cancer can quickly spread to other organs and become very difficult to treat. The study by academics at the University of Bristol and Cancer Research UK compared the records of patients diagnosed with breast, lung and bowel cancer between 2000 and 2009. The findings, published in the British Journal of General Practice, show that seeing the same GP was not linked to a later diagnosis for breast cancer or lung cancer. But for bowel cancer \u2013 commonly confused with irritable bowel syndrome or piles \u2013 there was an average delay of a week. Researchers said the reason there was no link between breast cancer might be because the symptoms are more obvious. And lung cancer is notoriously difficult to detect because there are often no symptoms in the early stages. But according to the study, doctors who are \u2018familiar\u2019 with patients can \u2018misattribute\u2019 new symptoms to ongoing medical complaints or even depression. GP and lead researcher Dr Matthew Ridd said: \u2018GPs should follow up patients who present with potential cancer symptoms to make sure they receive a timely diagnosis. \u2018But your regular doctor might not be the best person to spot those symptoms in the first place. So in some cases getting a second opinion from a different doctor could speed up the time to diagnosis.\u2019 The findings, published in the British Journal of General Practice, show that seeing the same GP was not linked to a later diagnosis for breast cancer or lung cancer (posed by model) Figures last month showed that cancer survival rates in Britain lagged ten years behind those of many other European countries. And last summer Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt pledged to name and shame GPs who fail to pick up on early warning signs and refer patients for urgent tests. Dr Richard Roope, Cancer Research UK\u2019s GP expert, said: \u2018These intriguing findings suggest that in some cases a fresh pair of eyes could be better at spotting early signs of cancer. Anything that can be done to support GPs in diagnosing cancer earlier is worth pursuing.\u2019 And Sara Hiom, Cancer Research UK\u2019s director of early diagnosis, said: \u2018This study provides a useful insight into how seeing the same doctor could impact the time to cancer diagnosis.

Reading are striving to make the FA Cup final for the first time in their history, leading to excitement understandably building in Berkshire - if not the club's Hogwood Park training ground. Reading overcame League One side Bradford with a 3-0 replay win to progress to FA Cup semi-final . Clarke, a winner as player and coach at Chelsea, has told his players not to get caught up in the occasion, with progression the only objective. 'I think when you go through to semi-finals, the only way to enjoy it is to win the game,' the Reading manager said. 'You can't go to Wembley and play the occasion. It is not about playing the occasion, we're playing Arsenal. 'For us, it has to be a day of work. We have to go there focused only on what happens on the pitch. The Royals face Premier League giants Arsenal in crunch clash on Saturday at Wembley . 'The supporters can go and enjoy the day, that's their little reward for a cup run.

One bookmaker has them at 14/1 to win and Reading's manager accepts they will have to play the 'perfect game' to overcome an Arsenal side on the back of eight straight league wins.

In a move that will be applauded by many, and is sure to dismay those accustomed to seeing scantily-clad beauties posing next to cars before a race, the FIA-backed series is adopting a more progressive stance. 'From Silverstone next week, you will see that for any race we will do - no grid girls like in the past,' WEC chief executive Gerard Neveu said after a presentation on Thursday for the opening Silverstone six-hour race.

It has also been a bone of contention for those seeking more equality and less sexism in a male-dominated sport, although in some series where women racers have joined the grid the 'umbrella' role has been taken by a man. The Hawiian Tropic Girls arrive on the grid before the start of the Le Mans 24 Hour Race in 2001 . Toyota's world champion Anthony Davidson said it was about time things changed. 'I talk about this with my wife quite a lot, and we both agree it's actually pretty backward,' the Briton, who has also raced in Formula One, said. 'It's old school to have such a concept as grid girls. Surely the world's moved on? And motor racing should follow quite closely what the rest of the world's doing in that respect. 'I think that's a really nice touch, a modern touch as well, from the WEC to take that aspect of racing away. It is a bit sexist.' Neveu said the cars would line up diagonally opposite the pit wall and grandstand as if for an old-style 'Le Mans start'. Current world champion Anthony Davidson has backed the decision to remove grid girls for equality . In Le Mans of old, before safety concerns stopped the practice, drivers would run across the track to the cars but at Silverstone there will be a rolling start. Neveu said the changes were all part of catering for a new audience. 'The sport is sport, but around it we can do many things,' he said. 'We will have a DJ, entertainment, many things on the grid. The show will start from the grid... but the star at the end is the sportscars and the drivers of the car.'", "summary": "World endurance championship begins at Silverstone on April 12 .

He smiled, slapped his playing partner Rory McIlroy on the back. Damn right he was ready. Not to win maybe. Not yet. By the summer, though, who knows? There have been enough sightings of the old Tiger at Augusta this week not to give up on him yet. The problem with new Tiger, though, is that as desperate as he appears to march on, obstacles line his path, like tree roots. In some cases, exactly like tree roots. At the ninth, playing out of the Augusta pines, Woods found such a root at full pelt on his follow through. He dropped his club like a red-hot poker, face creased with pain. Woods claimed that a bone popped out in his right arm, right there, but he reset it. There was a degree of scepticism about the extent of that injury, but either way it continued to bother him for several holes and was rotten luck. There is, however, a well-worn method of avoiding such misfortune. Hit it on the fairway. Woods did not find a solitary preferred landing area until the 13th, when he was rewarded with an eagle.

This was no country for an old man with faltering short irons. Some folk wanted their happy memories preserved. These four days, however, have revealed a healthier reality. Woods didn't come back too soon, he just took his leave too late. Looking at the tournaments he played in January and February, it was plain he didn't want to be there. He should have called time out then. Had he done so, had he started his recovery earlier, who knows where his game would have been by the time he reached Augusta? Were it not for the phenomenon of Jordan Spieth's first 54 holes, he would have been in contention here starting the final day.

The man rescued from a disabled sailboat off the North Carolina coast has responded to critics of his story by claiming that he avoided sunburn and blisters by staying in the vessel's cabin and that he survived by rationing food and water. Louis Lordan released a three-paragraph statement on Monday in whcih he said he stayed inside the cabin to keep dry and avoid sun, wind, waves and sea spray. 'Every time I went outside, I exposed myself to getting my clothes drenched, which would have made it harder for me to keep warm,' Jordan said. 'My blankets were already soaked, and often there was no way of hanging up my clothes to dry. Keeping dry was vital to my survival.' Jordan also said he set up a makeshift mast with a small sail to get the boat headed in a westward direction. He said he rationed food and water and kept his calorie expenditure low. 'That meant I had to stay inside the boat as much as possible, therefore I didn't have a sunburn, or blisters, as if I were found clinging to an upside-down boat,' Jordan said.

Coast Guard crew members who retrieved him said they were surprised by his fit appearance and overall health. Too good to be true? A surprisingly healthy-looking Louis Jordan pictured soon after being found off the North Carolina coast on Thursday . Thomas Grenz, the captain of the German tanker ship that spotted Jordan last week and brought him aboard, said Jordan's U.S. passport described him as weighing 290 pounds, but he was probably down to 200 pounds when the crew found him. Officials with the U.S. Coast Guard say it wasn't clear how long after he left the marina in Conway, South Carolina, that his boat first capsized. Jordan's sailboat was upright when the German boat found him. Jordan told his family that he was going into open water to sail and fish, according to his mother, Norma Davis. He told WAVY-TV that he was sailing north when he encountered bad weather. He said he saw a wave crash into his window and that his boat eventually filled with water. The Coast Guard began a search on Feb. 8, but it was abandoned after 10 days. Some sightings of Jordan were reported by other sailors, but they couldn't be confirmed.

A&E consultant Dr Ram Manohar, 38, is alleged to have inappropriately touched the nurses in 2013, while working at Wirral's Arrowe Park Hospital. David McLachlan, prosecuting, said Manohar offered to help Nurse A with her training on December 23, 2013, Liverpool Crown Court heard. He said she knew Manohar and, while in his room, asked for his help to learn about matters including chest X-rays.

For the second time this year, the former England footballer is selling a multi-million pound property \u2013 leading to speculation he wants to dodge Labour\u2019s mansion tax if the party wins the election. An outspoken critic of the policy, Campbell has even threatened to leave the country if the tax on properties over \u00a32million comes into force. Earlier this year it was revealed he had taken the apparently bizarre decision to sell a \u00a320million London townhouse to a company owned by himself. Land Registry documents suggest the sale was registered the day after higher stamp duty levies came into effect. But it is possible the sale took place shortly before, meaning the increased charges would have been avoided. Now Campbell has listed a second property for sale in the same exclusive neighbourhood of Chelsea. A former home of James Bond author Ian Fleming, the luxury penthouse by the Thames is on the market for \u00a36.75million. Campbell bought it in 2011 for \u00a34.25million after he reportedly staged a sit-in at an estate agents\u2019 in the hope of securing it for his family \u2013 his wife Fiona Barratt-Campbell and their children Isabella and Ethan. It has since been extensively renovated by his wife, an interior designer and granddaughter of Barratt Homes founder Sir Lawrie Barratt. An advert for the property states: \u2018There are few properties within Chelsea that can offer the combination of views, spacious accommodation and exquisite finish.\u2019 Yet Campbell, 40, seems to be keen to rid himself of the flat before the election. Eye for detail: The living room inside Campbell's \u00a36.75million Chelsea flat boasts lavish furnishings . Nice touch: The former Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur defender's kitchen is filled with marble . Sumptuous: Gilded mirrors line the hall in Campbell's luxurious flat, which is in an exclusive neighbourhood . Last year the former Arsenal and Tottenham defender blasted the proposed mansion tax, describing it as a \u2018cheap and easy way to extract money from individuals who have done well\u2019. He told The Times: \u2018With a mansion tax, you\u2019re taxing me for being prudent ... If Labour gets in, I\u2019d leave. I\u2019d have to say, \u201cSorry, I want to ship out\u201d.\u2019 Campbell has also said: \u2018I\u2019m not earning what I was earning five years ago.\u2019 Experts have said that properties worth between \u00a35million and \u00a310million could incur an annual charge of up to \u00a325,000 under a Labour government. Henry Pryor, a buying agent and property commentator, said: \u2018Sellers like Sol Campbell face a financial dilemma: to take a certain hit now or await the potential tax bill that a Labour or Lib Dem Government may generate.\u2019 Since 2009 Campbell has also owned Grade II-listed Hallington Hall, an 18th Century mansion in Northumberland.

Jobless Keith MacDonald, 29, from Sunderland in Tyne and Wear, has sired a massive brood with at least ten mothers - and is estimated to cost the taxpayer over \u00a32million.

Get their number and text them and arrange to meet when you come off the bus.' Last month he caused a stir when he appeared on Channel 5 documentary 40 Kids by 20 Women. MacDonald told the programme he can't find work, partly because he is 'no good at listening', and spends most of him time playing computer games. Scroll down for video . He says he finds it hard to meet new women because of his reputation in Sunderland and is shown in the programme going to Birmingham to 'pull girls'.

With City holding a big advantage from the first leg last month, this clash always looked difficult for Leicester, and their inability to find an early goal made the task of overhauling the advantage even tougher. City were the better team for much of the first half but goalkeeper Kjetil Haug had to be aware to keep out Hamza Choudhury from close range at the other end. That was their best chance until Charlie Oliver handled inside his own penalty area with 20 minutes to go to gift Ndukwu the chance to give the home side the lead.

+{"article": "Arsenal are the form team in Europe at present, winning 10 games out of their last 11, including seven in a row. Their recent success can probably be explained by a number of reasons. Players have returned from injury at the right time, Olivier Giroud can't stop scoring, Hector Bellerin and Francis Coquelin have emerged, while Arsene Wenger seems to have found his drive once again. But could there be something else? With the Gunners preparing for the Premier League trip to Burnley on Saturday, one of their partners Europcar have revealed how some of the first-team stars motivate themselves on the team bus with some interesting and uncharacteristic selections included. Arsenal players have revealed their ultimate pre-game playlist ahead of their Premier League tie with Burnley . Olivier Giroud selected Coldplay's 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' as his selected track . For instance, who would have guessed Giroud was a Coldplay fan? And can you picture Laurent Koscielny nodding along to Pharrell Williams' hit 'Happy' before defending at Turf Moor? And that's not all. Nacho Monreal opts for Dance DJ legend David Guetta's lead single from his sixth album 'Dangerous', David Ospina will even find time for some Colombian rap with J Balvin's track 'Tranquila' pre-game. Santi Cazorla has been in sparkling form in recent months with his languid style of creating from deep. So it is perhaps no surprise that the Spanish playmaker opts for something a bit softer - with pop singer from his homeland Melendi giving the 30-year-old all he needs before setting foot off the bus. Cazorla's track choice may be slightly more old school, but that's nothing compared to Theo Walcott. The England forward is obviously Loungin' before games with his selection of LL Cool J's 1996 summer hip-hop tune, which doesn't quite posses the fast pace we expect from Walcott on the pitch. Santi Cazorla's style of music seems to suit him - selecting Spanish pop star Melendi's slow track . Nacho Monreal appears to be a fan of up-beat dance music, opting for David Guetta track 'Dangerous' Laurent Koscielny may prepare for defending at Turf Moor by listening to 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams . Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Calum Chambers, Danny Welbeck, Aaron Ramsey and Kieran Gibbs are the youngest players on the list, so it is perhaps no surprise they go for recent and more mainstream hits.

Fifteen years ago, Jennifer Lopez' shimmering, navel-baring Versace gown captivated the world. So much so that, long before Kim Kardashian was breaking the internet, J Lo's 2000 red carpet appearance set the web ablaze. It even caught the attention of Google executive, Eric Schmidt, who has revealed that the plunging dress was his inspiration for creating Google Images. 'When Google was launched, people were amazed that they were able to find out about almost anything by typing just a few words into a computer,' he told project-syndicate.com. Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin \u2013 like all other successful inventors \u2013 kept iterating, said Schmidt. They started with images, because people wanted more than just text.

'At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. 'But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: J Lo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born.' Before Google Image Search, web surfers could only search through a page of text divided by 10 blue links. This meant they first had to click on these links before finding out if J Lo's dress was featured. When Google Images was launched in July 2001, the site offered access to 250 million images. Just ten year later, that figure reached more than 10 billion. The dress is one of the few articles of specific clothing to be honoured its own Wikipedia page. After hearing the news, the 45-year-old singer shared an old picture of her in that dress on Instagram.

Google has big plans for its image search. A team of Google researchers recently developed an advanced image classification and detection algorithm called GoogLeNet, which is twice as effective than previous programs. It is so accurate it can locate and distinguish between a range of object sizes within a single image, and it can also determine an object within, or on top of, an object, within the photo. The software recently placed first in the ImageNet large-scale visual recognition challenge (ILSVRC). Google has made the software open to other developers, to help increase its accuracy, and in the future, the technology could be used to improve Google Image searches. It could also scour YouTube videos for specific objects or shapes.

Mabbutt's diabetes had led to a clogged artery in the limb and doctors warned him it was 'touch and go' on whether it would have to be amputated.

Charity Sea Shepherd had been tracking the Thunder for the past 110 days off the west coast of Africa . The fishing vessel sank in perfect conditions, leading to suspicions that it had been deliberately scuttled . Sea Shepherd's vessels Bob Barker and Sam Simon rescued the men from the ocean. The Thunder had been fishing in the waters between Sao Tome and Principe, off the west coast of Africa. Bob Barker's captain Peter Hammarstedt said: 'It is an incredibly suspicious situation, to say the least. 'When my chief engineer boarded the Thunder in the hours leading up to the sinking, he was able to confirm that there were clear signs that the vessel was intentionally scuttled. 'Usually when a vessel is sinking, the captain will close all hatches so as to maintain buoyancy. However, on the Thunder, the reverse was done - doors and hatches were tied open and the fishhold was opened.' Sea Shepherd said the crew were given food and water and were transferred to Sam Simon. Video recorded by the activist group showed the ship sinking just hours after it said Thunder issued a distress signal on Monday afternoon. The Thunder's crew of 40 all managed to escape into life rafts before the vessel sunk to the ocean bottom . Members of Sea Shepherd launched rescue boats to rescue the members of crew from the ocean . Watertight doors on board the Thunder were dogged open increasing suspicion that the vessel was scuttled . Hammarstedt said Thunder's captain, who was not named, complained about being rescued and 'started applauding and cheering' when the vessel sank. He told the Sydney Morning Herald: 'We've been chasing the Thunder for 110 days now, and I think they're basically at the end of their fuel, and they would have had to make a port call .

Eve Stratford, a 22-year-old glamour model who worked at London's Playboy club, was found with her throat slashed in her Leyton home on the evening of 18 March 1975. Six months later, Lynne Weedon, 16, was attacked and raped in an alleyway near her home in Hounslow at 11pm on September 3, as she returned from a night out with friends. She was found abandoned and barely alive at an electricity sub-station the next morning and died a week later. Eve Stratford, 22, a Playboy bunny, was stabbed between eight and 12 times when she was murdered on the evening of 18 March 1975 . Both murders were linked in July 2006 after matching DNA was discovered on the victims, who did not know each other. It appears the motive was sexual - Lynne had been raped, and it is likely Eve had also been raped although detectives haven't been able to rule out consensual sex. The reward was posted last night as detectives appealed for information, which could lead to the identification, arrest and prosecution of those responsible, on BBC's Crimewatch show. Lynne's mother, Margaret Weedon, described the murder 40 years ago as a 'true life sentence' for the family. Lynne Weedon (right) was beaten over the head with a blunt object. Detectives believes Lynda Farrow (left), who was knifed to death in 1979, was also a victim of the same killer . She said: 'We have missed out on so much; she missed out on life, no relationship or marriage, no career or children or even just travelling the world, all taken from her. 'We are left 40 years on always wondering what it would have been like. 'We are well aware that whoever murdered Lynne also murdered Eve Stratford. That young lady also had her life snubbed out. Her family have died now. Another true life sentence. 'The hurt eases but the pain still sits deep somewhere inside. There are so many questions. So many thoughts. So much heartache. 'I will make a mother's plea for anyone who can tell us some information about the person who took my daughter and Eve Stratford's lives to come forward. Please, please give us some sort of closure.' Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh from Scotland Yard said he was hopeful the killer had let details slip over the years - maybe to a partner, a friend or even a cellmate or medical professional.

Mike Keen, the Labour leader's cousin, said he was 'officially confused' over whether or not the party was actually promising to scrap non-dom rules. Mr Miliband used a speech yesterday to say he would 'abolish' the 200-year-old rule for non-doms, but in January Ed Balls said it would cost the country money. Mike Keen, the Labour leader's cousin, said he was 'officially confused' over whether or not the Ed Miliband was actually promising to scrap non-dom rules . Mr Keen posted on his public Facebook page that he needed someone to explain to him just what the Labour policy was . Non-domicile status allows people living and working in Britain to only pay tax on their UK income, but not earnings from overseas. They must prove that they regard a foreign country as their real home. But Mr Miliband argues that non-dom tests 'are not very rigorous' and can be granted to people who have a burial plot or property abroad. Newspaper reports suggested that non-dom rules would be scrapped by Labour altogether. But it emerged Labour would allow 'real temporary residents' to take advantage of the rules - with the time limit to be consulted on should they take power in the General Election on May 7. In a speech in Warwick yesterday, Mr Miliband said that everyone who has made Britain their permanent home should pay full UK tax on all their income and gains. 'It is not fair. It is not just. It holds Britain back. We will stop it. The next Labour government will abolish the non-dom rule,' he said. He was backed by Mr Balls, the shadow chancellor, who told BBC Radio 5 Live: 'We're going to change it, abolish it and it will raise a lot of money.' But it emerged in a January interview Mr Balls said: 'I think if you abolished the whole status then probably it ends up costing Britain money because there will be some people who will then leave the country.' The contradiction was seized on by the Conservatives, who produced an internet graphic showing Mr Balls' two quotes. Mr Keen, a retired GP, posted the image to his Facebook page, adding: 'Can someone explain this to me please, I am now officially confused.' In January shadow chancellor Ed Balls warned: 'I think if you abolished the whole status then probably it ends up costing Britain money because there will be some people who will then leave the country.' A friend suggested he 'ask a certain member of your family I am sure he will give you chapter and verse on it and invite him into the group I am sure we won't abuse him to much'. Mr Keen asked his friends on the site: 'What would you say to my lil cuz if he were on here?'

'In other words you're not optimal, but you're still functional.' Pushing these sleep-debt boundaries can lead to micro sleeps in certain people. Therefore, the hours must be paid back to avoid an error rate in alertness tasks. Any less than six or any more than ten hours is unusual for the standard person . If power napping, it is important to get no more than 20 minutes or inertia will set in . In relation to a sleep schedule, Professor Hillman said the eight hours per night does not necessarily need to be consecutive. 'Interestingly enough, your slow wave sleep, is in the first four hours,' he said. 'Most adults, the most convenient way our particular society is organised is to have your eight hours in a continuous block overnight but that's not a necessary thing.' If choosing to break up your eight hours of sleep, napping throughout the day is the answer. Professor Hillman advises 20 minute power naps to avoid falling into deep sleep and suffering from inertia which makes you feel temporarily worse off. 'The longer naps, you get the sleep inertia but ultimately once you've got up, they sustain you better,' he said. Professor Hillman has also advised that if you are waking up tired and fatigued it could be due to sleep apnoea which is often associated with snoring.", "summary": "The Sleep Foundation study has shown that adults need 8 hours of sleep .

Its population is around 500,000 and boasts both beautiful beaches and striking volcanic landscapes, making it a haven for tourism . Cape Verde is a picturesque island off the African coast with a population of just 500,000 people . Does it have any footballing tradition? More than you think. Manchester United winger Nani is from Cape Verde and could have played for them instead of Portugal. Celtic and Sweden legend Henrik Larsson's mum is from Cape Verde. Being a former Portuguese colony, most people support the big Lisbon clubs Benfica and Sporting, you see the club's scarves and banners hanging from cafes and bars . Sporting Lisbon ace Nani (centre) is from Cape Verde but decided to represent Portugal at national team level . Former Barcelona star Henrik Larsson could have played for Cape Verde as his mother was born on the island . Why the sudden success? Like a lot of African countries including Algeria and Ghana, Cape Verde decided to start recruiting players who grew up in Europe, mostly Portugal in their case, but were eligible for them through family ties. Around a quarter of the Cape Verde squad are European, although 14 of the 19 players used in Portugal were born on the island. They qualified for their first Africa Cup of Nations in 2013 and reached the quarter-finals, and qualified again this year. They are the smallest nation ever to play in the continental finals. Cape Verde were eliminated at the quarter-final stage of their first ever Africa Cup of Nations in 2013 . Who are the star players? Every member of the squad plays club football outside Cape Verde, mostly in Europe and particularly Portugal. Striker Heldon plays for Sporting Lisbon and midfield set-piece specialist Babanco is with Estoril. Odair Fortes, who scored their second goal against the Portuguese, plays in French football for Reims. Other members of the squad ply their trade from Romania, Angola, Cyprus, Hungary, Holland, Bulgaria and Mexico . Sporting Lisbon striker Heldon, currently on loan at Cordoba, is one of Cape Verde's key players . What can Cape Verde offer visitors? Firstly, sunshine. The temperatures rarely dip below 21 degrees Celsius (70 F) even in the December and January winger months. The name of the main beach Boa Vista (beautiful view) says it all. It is beginning to become a big tourist destination, just a six-hour flight from the UK. Visitors are encouraged to sample the excellent local fish and admire the spectacular dunes and volcanic mountains.

Newcastle Crown Court heard that Gordon Robson, 26, hit father John Potts, 45, in the back of the head so hard there was an 'audible crack' before he fell down dead. Robson, who has a history of violent offending, was jailed for just three and a half years for the attack outside the NE38 Sports Bar in Washington, Tyne and Wear, in November last year. The court was told that Robson had been drinking at the bar after being a pallbearer at his grandfather's funeral before getting into an argument with a friend of Mr Potts. Fighting broke out after the bar closed, and Mr Potts, a father-of-six and grandfather-of-one who was described by his sister as 'a big softie', stepped in to stop it. Prosecutor Nick Dry told the court: 'At this point the defendant punched Mr Potts, who had been trying to calm matters down and was actually facing the other way when the blow was struck. 'The punch made a loud crack, witnesses turned to see him falling to the ground, making no attempt to break his fall.' The court heard despite intervention from the emergency services, Mr Potts could not be saved. Mr Dry added: 'Mr Potts had been minding his own business. He was an innocent bystander who sought only to calm the situation down.' Mr Potts' widow Sarah said his death had a 'devastating impact' on the family. She said Mr Potts' stepchildren and eight-year-old daughter, Emma, now fear their family won't come back whenever they leave the house. Mr Dry added: 'She said he was a father who never judged her, he was just her dad and hero.' Mr Potts' sisters said in their statements the 'life and soul has been ripped from their family' and described their brother as a 'big softie'. Mr Potts' brother George said he wakes every Sunday at 5.30am, the time he was informed of his siblings death, and feels life has been changed forever. Robson had been drinking at the NE38 Sports Bar in Washington, Tyne and Wear, after his grandfather's funeral when fighting broke out. Mr Potts, described as a 'big softie', was killed when he tried to intervene . Judge Paul Sloan QC jailed Robson, of Waskerley Way, Washington, Tyne and Wear, who admitted manslaughter, to three-and-a-half years behind bars. The judge told Robson: 'Mr Potts was trying to calm the situation. He was acting as a peacemaker. 'It is clear Mr Potts was a devoted father and step-father. It is also clear his death has had a profound effect upon his family. 'No sentence imposed upon you could ever serve to ease the pain of Mr Potts' family.

Churchgoers traditionally walk around to shake hands and give hugs during the greetings and announcements portion of service, but the pastor encouraged the crowd to stay in their seats and greet only their closest neighbors, as the sanctuary was tightly secured with Secret Service agents. The choir- including women in purple dresses and men sporting purple ties- sang a lively rendition of the hymn 'He Lives,' stirring most of the church, filled to capacity, to clap, sing and sway in praise alongside the upbeat organ keys while ushers collected the tithes and offering.

Police released a statement alleging the 38-year-old mother 'pursued' the Google car to make sure she was captured exposing herself, and that it was an illegal act. Karen Davis (pictured) from Port Pirie has caused controversy after a picture appeared on Google Maps Street View showing her bearing her size-K breasts .

Let us know your England XIs by posting them in the comments section below. England manager Roy Hodgson pictured at the Juventus Stadium during Tuesday's friendly against Italy . MATT LAWTON . Hart; Clyne, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines; Henderson, Wilshere; Welbeck, Rooney, Sterling; Kane . Not perfect by any means but I think it\u2019s important to keep Rooney in a more central position, in the No 10 role he is most comfortable in, behind the best striker at this moment in time. Right now it\u2019s Kane but Sturridge and Welbeck certainly offer good alternatives. There\u2019s pace in that team as well. No natural holding player? I\u2019m not convinced Carrick is the way forward. Get the best players on the pitch. England captain Wayne Rooney (centre) looks to get a shot in at the Italian goal on Tuesday . IAN LADYMAN . Hart; Clyne, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines; Henderson, Wilshere; Welbeck, Rooney, Sterling; Sturridge . England\u2019s defensive options remain their big problem so this is a team set up to score goals and win games by playing on the front foot. Luke Shaw hasn\u2019t done enough yet to displace Baines while Henderson and Wilshere represent a holding duo at the base of the midfield that should provide security bit also the ability to get the team moving forwards when appropriate. Rooney is picked in this team in a central role while Sturridge gets the nod ahead of young pretenders such as Harry Kane simply on the back of experience. This is the first game of a major tournament after all. Daniel Sturridge (left) charges forward with the ball during last September's friendly against Norway . ROB DRAPER . Hart; Clyne, Cahill, Jones, Gibbs; Carrick; Henderson, Wilshere; Sterling, Rooney, Welbeck . No place for Daniel Sturridge at present and you might have to re-think if he's clear of injuries - but for the moment Rooney has to play up front. If England need a more attacking shape, Rooney can drop in and Sturridge come on for Wilshere or Henderson, but I'd be wary of starting that way, as England couldn't defend properly with two midfielders in Brazil. The back four doesn't convince but Jagielka and Baines struggled at the World Cup and Johnson is now out of the reckoning.

Here are my 12 most significant fights in boxing\u2019s history. THE FIGHT FOR RACE . Jack Johnson v James J Jeffries . July 4, 1910 in Reno, Nevada . Jim Jeffries came out of a six-year retirement to take on Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion . Jack Johnson, as the first black world heavyweight champion, was the bane of the white supremacists in America in the early 1900s. They hated it when the Galveston Giant beat Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia, in 1908 to win the title they had brandished as the symbol of their racial superiority. Thus began the quest for The Great White Hope. When Johnson KO\u2019d their best hope of all, Stanley Ketchel, the crusade to bring their old idol Jeffries out of six-year retirement reached a frenzy. Jeffries finally agreed \u2018to respond to that portion of the white race that has been looking for me to defend its athletic superiority\u2019 \u2013 in return for a purse of $120,000 (worth more than three million dollars today). So racist was the press coverage of the build-up to the fight that even The New York Times wrote: \u2018If the black man wins, thousands and thousands of his ignorant brothers will misinterpret his victory as justifying claims to much more than mere physical equality with their white neighbours.' As the racial tensions grew, the sheriff of Reno took the then-unusual step of banning guns and alcohol in the 20,000 capacity arena erected down town. Jeffries, by then a contented farmer, had shed more than 100 lbs to get close to his old fighting weight. White America hated it when 'Galveston Giant' Johnson (left) beat Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia, in 1908 to win the title and after a frenzied campaign, Jeffries (right) agreed to take the fight for what would equal \u00a33m . The bout was scheduled for 45 rounds but Johnson said he knew it was as good as over in the fourth when he saw the alarmed reaction to his trademark uppercut and \u2018the old ship sinking.\u2019 Jeffries, hitherto undefeated, had never been off his feet but after two knock-downs his corner threw in the towel at the end of the 15th. He dismayed white America by saying: \u2018I could never have whipped Johnson at my best, not in a thousand years.\u2019 Symbolically, the Fourth of July shook the foundations of America\u2019s old white order.

Rory McIlroy insists he has arrived at Augusta ready to mount a serious challenge on the Masters . The world No 1 shields himself from the rain as he plays a shot during a practice round . 'I said in the middle of last week, 'If Augusta was to start tomorrow, I'd be okay. I'm ready,'' McIlroy said on Tuesday. 'I think that's a good indication of where I am with my game. I've been ready for this thing to start for a week already so just trying to keep my game where it is and do some quality work, not overdo it. 'Just do the right amount so that when I got here yesterday for the first time, I was ready to play and just needed to go see the golf course. I wasn't working on anything in my game, my swing. Wasn't thinking about technique at all. Just all about hitting the shots I need to and thinking about how to manage my game and get it around here for the next four days. 'Results-wise, the last three tournaments haven't been what I've wanted. I still feel like there's plenty of positives to take from them, especially Doral and Bay Hill, I felt like I played pretty good there. A couple silly mistakes here and there, but for the most part I felt like I got what I needed out of them. 'But the last two weeks have been great. I've just practised at home in Florida and made another trip up here a couple of Fridays ago. 'I just really felt like spending a couple of weeks away from this (media attention), I guess, and just preparing at home and in private and not really having everything critiqued and analysed and over-analysed. I just wanted to get away from it all, and I feel like it's been a good thing.' All eyes have been on Tiger Woods' latest comeback, which could take the pressure off of McIlroy . The Northern Irishman speaks to Wood's girlfriend Lindsey Vonn and his children during practice . McIlroy followed Woods into the media centre at Augusta National and admitted the presence of the 14-time major winner - who was relaxed and jovial with the press - could work in his favour.

This mugshot certainly won't be winning any points with the judge. Linda MacDonald, 55, was arrested on Monday for drunk driving and decided to stick out her tongue when she was brought to Vermont State Police barracks for booking. Police say the woman from Shelburne, Massachusetts was driving drunk around 10:30pm when she ran off Route 5 in Dummerston, Vermont and crashed her 2011 Toyota Camry into a wooden fence. At the scene, MacDonald told responding officers that she crashed while talking on the phone and trying to take directions down on a legal note pad in her car. But when officers smelled alcohol on MacDonald, they administered a breathalyzer test and she posted a .10 blood-alcohol content - above the state's legal threshold of .08. MacDonald stuck out her tongue for the cheeky picture after she was arrested and brought back to police headquarters on charges of driving while intoxicated. Police say that though MacDonald's car was heavily damaged, neither she or anyone else was injured in the one-vehicle crash. MacDonald was released on a citation and is scheduled back in court on April 28 for an arraignment. Public records do not indicate MacDonald has been arrested for DWI in the past.

The Labour leader said the bobby on the beat is 'at risk of disappearing', while rising numbers of serious criminals 'are being let off the hook'. But the launch of Labour's criminal justice plans risked being over-shadowed by the news that the party's police adviser, Lord Stephens, is be investigated over hotly disputed allegations of a cover-up of police corruption in the bungled Stephen Lawrence murder probe. Labour leader Ed Miliband said the bobby on the beat is 'at risk of disappearing', while rising numbers of serious criminals 'are being let off the hook' Mr Miliband hopes to get back on the front foot today with the promise of action to protect community policing. It comes after the chaotic launch of a plan to abolish non-dom tax status for foreigners and a deeply personal row with the Tories over claims he 'stabbed his brother in the back' and would do the same to Britain to get into power. Today Labour claims the police are 'struggling to keep up' with the rise in child sexual exploitation, terrorism and online crime while public safety is being 'put at risk' by a chaotic prison and probation system. Police and crime commissioners (PCCs) would be axed to help fund the \u00a3800 million plan to guarantee neighbourhood policing across England and Wales. PCCs were set up by the Tories to increase accountability, but turnout was just 15 per cent in elections held in 2011. Mr Miliband said: 'Because of the Conservatives' decisions, neighbourhood policing - the foundation of good British policing - is at risk of disappearing, whilst increasing numbers of serious criminals are being let off the hook. 'Labour has a better plan. We will make different choices, finding savings to safeguard 10,000 officers in the next three years. 'We will ensure victims are at the heart of the criminal justice system with the country's first ever victims' law. And we will ensure the police have the powers they need to keep us safe, including proper controls for dangerous terror suspects.' Mr Miliband and shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper joined with police officers from Ollerton Police Station during a walk around New Ollerton in Nottinghamshire . Ms Cooper claimed the Tories were planning deeper cuts to policing in the next Parliament 'even though the police are already struggling to keep up with rising complex cases' New laws would introduce a local policing commitment that required forces to guarantee neighbourhood policing and 10,000 officers would be safeguarded for three years, the party said. Axing the PCCs combined with charging higher fees for gun licences and requiring police forces to share services and carry out joint procurement would fund the plans, according to Labour.

The London Mayor, deployed to inject more passion into the Tory campaign, claimed it would mean 'truckfuls of taxpayers' dosh growling up the M1 to Scotland'. Boris Johnson and David Cameron joined forces yesterday to slam the SNP plans to prop up Labour . 'Lots of people\u2026 people who might even have voted Labour - people will think that this is a constitutional crisis,' Mr Johnson said. The SNP has declared it will never support the Conservatives in a hung Parliament, but is ready to do a deal with Labour, even if it finishes in second place. It would be the first time since 1924 that a second-placed party had formed a government.

ET no home: Defence Minister Gen Nakatani responded to questions from an MP about potential alien invasions, and assured parliament that Japan has never been invaded by extra-terrestrials .

Britain argues it has historically ruled the islands and the islanders should have the right to self-determination. In a 2013 referendum, 99.8 per cent voted to remain a British overseas territory. The row over the sovereignty of the islands, which Argentina calls Malvinas, could be intensified by Britain's oil find. After nine months of exploratory drilling, a group of British companies found oil and gas at the Zebedee exploratory well, in the north of the islands. The find, announced by British firms that share the exploration area (Premier Oil, Rockhopper Exploration and Falkland Oil & Gas), could be worth billions of pounds and will increase fears of renewed conflict over the British overseas territory.

The businessman who brought KFC to the UK but has only ever eaten it once, says he will not go again and branded the fast-food chain 'dreadful.' Raymond Allen - who is only a handful of people in the world to know its secret recipe - opened the first franchise in Preston, Lancashire, in 1965. He had become a personal friend of Harland 'the Colonel' Sanders after meeting during a conference in Chicago 50 years ago. Mr Allen still has a personal hand-written copy of the recipe which is believed to be made up of 11 herbs and spices - and is a closely guarded secret by the firm. But the 87-year-old, from Jersey in the Channel islands, said the company has strayed so far from its original concept it's been 'ruined' and would never set foot in one again. He said: 'We have got one where I now live, but I would not go in there. I don't use it and I think it is dreadful. The company has ruined the product. 'Instead of staying with one good thing that was sellable, they have tried to compete with the other fast food units. They should have just stuck with the chicken.' His wife Shirley, 84, said: 'We tried KFC only once about a year ago. 'We had the traditional original chicken but there were so many different products it was difficult to know what to order. I don't think we will go back.' After the chance meeting in Chicago, Mr Allen helped Sanders establish the UK side of his empire while he was still a small-time restaurant owner in Louisville, Kentucky. He also gave him valuable advice on the legal side of the business including patents and was paid to seek out suitable locations for other branches across the world. He said: 'The Colonel was a very kind man, who was very forthright. 'But at the time we met he was a small-time Southern State restaurant owner, and I knew a lot about patents or registered trademarks. 'We had heard about him before the meeting. But when we first met him, he had only one franchisee in America who sold the chicken as a menu item in his restaurant.

The red and black luggage moves along the conveyor after being taken from the plane . Suddenly the mechanical arm springs into action giving the luggage some brute force . And with a sharp movement, the red and black case is passed down onto a lower conveyor belt . The mechanism appears to work on a sensor system, ensuring it strikes out at the centre of the luggage so as to not spin it, but what might shock is the force of the action. It is not known where this video was taken, although it is believed to be an international airport.

The referrals were key to the company's business model and touted by AHF President Michael Weinstein at a 2013 leadership summit, where the complaint alleges he specifically directed staff to immediately raise the patient financial incentive to $50 and to implement the incentive program nationally throughout the organization. Weinstein said small incentives for linking people to services and keeping them there are 'mainstays of public health interventions.'

Tony Hatch (left) and his former wife Jackie Trent (right) wrote a chart-topping hits for the world's biggest stars but he was banned from her funeral last month . He says that not only did she never forgive Hatch for the infidelity that ended their marriage, but she believed to her dying day that he had denied her the credit she was due for some of their compositions. Although they were responsible for about 400 songs together, they had been mired in a long-running feud over seven that Trent claimed she co-wrote. After years of pressure, says Gregory, Hatch agreed to acknowledge Trent's part and her name now appears against some of the songs on the Tony Hatch website. But on other songs, Hatch is the only composer credited. Gregory told The Mail on Sunday: 'Yes, I banned Hatch from attending Jackie's cremation.' The 71-year-old former policeman, who married Trent in 2005, said: 'It might seem petty and churlish of me because, whatever anybody says, Hatch and Trent are welded at the hip for all the wonderful work they did together. 'I would never contest that. Jackie never contested that. But her firm words to me were, \"I hate him for what he did to me and for what he's still doing to me.\" 'I couldn't and wouldn't contact Tony Hatch myself. It would be inappropriate because we're in litigation.' Instead, he passed the message to Trent's son from her first marriage, Darren, who Hatch had adopted when they married. Gregory said: 'Darren rang, giving it the smooth patter of, \"Oh, they had such a lovely warm life together\", which they did not. And when he said he wanted to invite Hatch to the cremation, I said quite firmly, \"No. If he turns up, I shall call the police.\" 'Suffice it to say that Jackie would not want Tony Hatch anywhere near her final moments on this earth. He and his wife were specifically banned from attending her funeral, or anything in connection with it.

Dmitry Kaminskiy, a senior partner of Hong Kong-based firm, Deep Knowledge Ventures, is hoping his million dollar gift will trigger a new group of 'supercenternarians'. He says research into stem cells, tissue rejuvenation and regenerative medicine will allow people to live beyond 120 - an age that has been quoted as the 'real absolute limit to human lifespan'. 'We live in the most exciting era of human development when technologies become exponential and transformative,' Kaminskiy told DailyMail.com. 'They may not realise it, but some of the supercentenarians alive today may see the dawn of the next century if they live long enough for these transformative technologies to develop. 'I hope that my prize will help some of them desire longer lifespans and make their approaches to living longer a little more competitive.' French born Jeanne Calment currently holds the record, having lived to age 122.5. She died in 1997. Already, a number of supercentenarians are candidates to best Calment's record.

Keats, a San Francisco writer and self-described experimental philosopher and conceptual artist, has designed a 'millennium camera' that he intends to mount in a churchless steeple on a college campus. He hopes the resulting photograph will chronicle climate change by taking a 1,000-year exposure of a western Massachusetts mountain range. Jonathan Keats, an experimental philosopher, hopes to capture 1,000 years of changes at a mountain range in Massachusetts with his 'millennium camera' The camera, which is made of cooper and allows light to enter through a tiny hole and change paint inside, will create one image that Keats says will display centuries of changes to the environment . If it seems far-fetched, consider that some of Keats' previous endeavors include selling tracts of real estate in the theoretical extra dimensions of space-time and opening a photosynthetic restaurant that serves gourmet sunlight to plants. He has also been involved in choreographing honeybees; copyrighting his own mind to give his 'intellectual property' a 70-year post-life extension; and, controversially, joining in a bid to genetically engineer God. Even at his quirkiest, Keats notes he always has a serious message to deliver. In the case of the millennium camera \u2014 a cylindrical device small and light enough to hold in one hand but hopefully durable enough to survive the centuries \u2014 it's encouraging people to think beyond their own human lifespan to what geologists call deep time, the lengthy periods in which the world changes on a grand scale. 'We need to find a way to think in deep time if we are to responsibly make use of the technologies we have,' he says. 'So the camera is intended, in a sense, as a mental prosthesis, as a way of creating some sort of a feedback loop in deep time, where setting up the camera now, looking out into the far future, allows for people who are alive in the far future to see the decisions we made through the effect that they had.' But will it work? The camera will be place on the Stearns Steeple, and the Mead Art Museum at Amherst plans on holding an exhibition to show the resulting photo in the 3015 . Keats hopes that the long-term photograph will make people think about time frames longer than their lives, such as the centuries that it takes for nature such as the Holyoke mountain range (pictured) to transform . Even Keats can't say for sure. Nor is he certain humans will be around in 3015. Nor, assuming they are, that someone will know to retrieve the camera and open it. A thousand years is, after all, a long time. In 1015, the Norman conquest of England was still more than 50 years away, the first crusade was more than 80 years away, and Columbus would not reach the New World for another 477 years.

As Jakarta waits on the legal efforts of a few other prisoners before setting an execution date, the two Australian's lawyers sought a constitutional court review to make clear the president's obligations on considering clemency on Thursday - a process that could take several months.

Indonesian lawyer for the death row pair, Inneke Kusuma, told reporters the effort was not aimed at delaying the executions, but clarifying a prisoner's rights. The president's obligations when assessing a prisoner's life were unclear, she argued, such as the weight that should be given to rehabilitation. 'This judicial review won't delay the executions but we will tell the government please hold on until this process is done, because if the constitutional court accepts what we lodge, the documents, maybe there will be a new mechanism to consider their clemency,' she said.

Mr Prasetyo says the pair have already had their appeals and any constitutional court decision would only apply to future cases anyway - not that of the condemned duo.

Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany have endured poor seasons, new signings Eliaquim Mangala and Fernando have been disasters until now and even Sergio Aguero's form has deteriorated after being the stand-out player of the season until Christmas.

Australian choreographer Wade Robson, once the singer's staunchest defender, now claims Jackson was a predator who repeatedly sexually abused him as a child. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff has scheduled a hearing for Robson and another of Jackson's alleged child victims, James Safechuck, on Tuesday that could decide if their respective claims proceed. Australian choreographer Wade Robson, once Michael Jackson's staunchest defender, now claims the singer was a predator who repeatedly sexually abused him as a child . Robson and Safechuck missed a statutory deadline when they filed their claims more than a year after Jackson's 2009 death. If Judge Beckloff gives Robson, 32, and Safechuck, 36, a green light to proceed with their civil claim, new child molestation allegations will likely be revealed in court against Jackson. Lawyers say the King Of Pop shelled out nearly $200 million to as many as 20 victims, reports the New York Post. The Jordan Chandler lawsuit alone is alleged to have cost more than $40 million. Safechuck, who says he met Jackson in 1987 when he was eight and was molested a year later, claims in court filings that Jackson held a secret wedding ceremony with a young Safechuck as his bride. Safechuck alleges the singer gave him a marriage certificate and a wedding band as keepsakes and confirmation of their 'undying love'. He also alleges that Jackson wrote a check for more than $1 million to Safechuck's father, a sanitation worker. James Safechuck, who says he met Jackson in 1987 when he was eight and was molested a year later, claims in court filings that Jackson held a secret wedding ceremony with a young Safechuck as his bride . 'Jackson was successful in his efforts to the point that my client endured repeated acts of sexual abuse of a heinous nature and was brainwashed... into believing they were acts of love and \u00adinstigated by James himself,' Safechuck's attorneys said in the \u00adfilings. The singer regularly dressed Safe\u00adchuck in clothes identical to his and would tell reporters Safechuck was his cousin, a former employee said. Safechuck's attorney alleges that Jackson molested Safechuck more than 100 times. Robson was a five-year-old dance prodigy in Brisbane, Australia, when he first met the singer. Prior to filing his civil lawsuit in 2013 he had been one of the pop star's biggest supporters, including testifying under oath at Jackson's 2005 molestation trial in California he was never abused by Jackson. Robson was a key reason for Jackson's acquittal. He now says he 'lived in silence and denial for 22 years' and alleges he was seven years old when Jackson first molested him. Former Jackson maid, Blanca Francia, left, is expected to testify that she walked in on the singer showering with and groping the then nine-year-old Robson and that she saw them semi-nude in bed together .", "summary": "Wade Robson and James Safechuck hope to find out on Tuesday if they can bring a civil lawsuit against the late singer's estate .

But Sunday's party marking the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War took about 5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers) south of the South, in a rural Brazilian town colonized by families fleeing Reconstruction. For many of the residents of Santa Barbara d'Oeste and neighboring Americana in Brazil's southeastern Sao Paulo state, having Confederate ancestry is a point of pride that's celebrated in high style at the annual 'Festa dos Confederados,' or 'Confederates Party' in Portuguese. Proud heritage: Descendants of American Southerners wearing Confederate-era uniforms pose for pictures as they attend a party to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War in Santa Barbara d'Oeste, Brazil on Sunday . Thousands turn out every year, including many who trace their ancestry back to the dozens of families who, enticed by the Brazilian government's offers of land grants, settled here from 1865 to around 1875. They're joined by country music enthusiasts, history buffs and locals with a hankering for buttermilk biscuits or a fondness for 'The Dukes of Hazzard.' 'I don't speak English and the only place I've been to in the U.S. is Disneyworld, but I feel the heritage,' said 77-year-old Alcina Tanner Coltre, whose great-great-grandparents migrated from Mississippi along with their 15-year-old son. 'My great-grandfather married a Brazilian woman, so he integrated into Brazilian culture pretty quickly, but it's really important to me to come out every year to remember where we come from.' The party takes place up a dusty dirt road flanked on both sides by sugarcane plantations, in a field that abuts on the 'Cemiterio dos Americanos,' or 'American Cemetery,' which began as the resting place of the wife and two daughters of one of the first Confederados and still serves their descendants today. Amid food and beer stands bedecked with red-white-and-blue ribbons, extended families tucked into diet-busting barbecue and hamburger lunches as 'Dixie' played on a loop. Teenage girls pulled hoop skirts over their cut-off short-shorts and wiggled into bustier tops, taking to the stage painted with a giant Confederate flag on the arms of young men in grey and yellow Johnny Reb uniforms. The pairs solemnly presented the flags of the 13 Confederate states and square danced to raucous fiddle music. But for the abundance of glitter eye shadow and the modern tattoos peeking out from beneath the uniforms, the stage had a convincing 'Gone With the Wind' vibe.

Research suggests that certain types of music can bring out specific flavours - including sweet, salty and bitter - in a range of foods. The intensity of Nessun Dorma, performed by Luciano Pavarotti, is said to be the perfect accompaniment to dark mouse or coffee. Meanwhile, the high-pitched piano in Billie Holiday's Autumn in New York can help emphasise the autumnal flavour of a pumpkin pudding. Listening to the right sort of music, including the Beatles (pictured) can enhance flavours in certain food and drink, researchers have found . In the Ultraviolent restaurant in Shanghai, fish and chips (pictured) are served up to a backdrop of the Beatles . In Ultraviolent restaurant in Shanghai, fish and chips are served up to a backdrop of the Beatles, while in El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, scented meringue comes with a commentary describing Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi in action, a clip which apparently brings out the citrus flavours in the dessert. The so-called digital seasoning also applies to wine, helping drinkers to enjoy their tipple by up to 15 per cent more, if served alongside the right music. Researchers found people enjoyed their wine more while listening to 'paired' music, rather than while being sat in silence. Tchaikovsky's String Quartet No 1 in D Major particularly compliments Chateau Margaux 2004, while Mozart's Flute Quartet in D Major should be played while drinking Puilly-Fume. Professor Charles Spence, a behavioral psychologist from Oxford University, told the Observer's Neil Tweedle that taste is not as dominant as we might think in judging a meal and that our ears might subconsciously talk to our tastebuds. He said: 'Music cannot create taste or flavours that are not there in your mouth, but it can draw attention to certain notes in a wine or food that are competing in your mind... It's kind of digital seasoning.' The deep tones of Luciano Pavarotti (pictured left) singing Nessun Dorma can enhance the bitterness in coffee and the intensity in a chocolate mousse (pictured right) Mr Spence added that humans tend to match the same sounds to the same tastes. He described sourness as 'high-pitched', meaning it should be played alongside music of the same quality. He also said sweetness is associated with richer sounds, while bitterness is linked to deeper tones. He believes the sound associated with salty - which he has not yet pinned down - would be enhanced by a throbbing type of sound. 'Bitter, sweet, sour - we have those,' says Professor Charles Spence, 'But salty is the hardest taste to embody in sound.' To carry out his research, Mr Spence gives people two pieces of identical chocolate and asks them to each eat one while listening to a different piece of classical music. While the more sombre music is played, people generally describe the chocolate as more bitter. When they described the chocolate as 'sweet', it generally when the more upbeat piece was being played, he said.", "summary": "Research suggests certain types of music can bring out specific flavours .

At 31 Tevez appears to be enjoying his football again, helping Juventus to the title last season and leading the assault on the Champions League this term. Massimiliano Allegri is hoping to end 19 years of Champions League hurt by taking Juventus to glory . Monaco stand in Juventus' way; they were adventurous and audacious in their win over Arsenal in the last 16 . It is easy to knock Italian football, to place it behind England, Spain and Germany, but to do that would do a great disservice to this Juventus team. There are some formidable talents in there, with Gianluigi Buffon protected in his goal by the tough, uncompromising presence of Giorgio Chiellini, Andrea Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci in their three-man defence. The prolonged absence of Andrea Pirlo, who has made five appearances in this season\u2019s competition, has given others a chance to excel in the centre of this Juve midfield. Paul Pogba, one of the summer targets for Manchester United, is missing but Arturo Vidal, Roberto Pereyra and Claudio Marchisio all have pedigree. Tevez admits he feels free at Juventus, back to the days when he was playing for Boca Juniors (pictured) Monaco players train at the Juventus Stadium in Turin on the eve of their Champions League quarter-final . It has been 12 years since they last reached the Champions League final, when they were beaten by Milan on penalties during a dreadful stalemate that finished 0-0 at Old Trafford. For supporters of Juve it has been too long, with the shootout victory over Ajax in 1996 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome a distant memory. They have won the European Cup twice and would dearly love a third. Standing in their way of a semi-final appearance is Monaco, the surprise team to make it through after their remarkable win over Arsenal in the previous round.

Dr Julie Epstein could also face being struck off after an investigation revealed she had been giving substances such as anabolic steroids to some 40 patients, some of whom had trouble with similar drugs in the past. The doctor, who opened one of NSW's first anti-ageing clinics, has been prosecuted by the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) for her conduct between August 2007 and August 2009, Fairfax Media reports. Sydney anti-ageing doctor Julie Epstein (not pictured) has been found guilty of medical misconduct . On Monday the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal found that Dr Epstein had been prescribing human growth hormone and other similar subtances 'without exercising responsible medical judgement'. The tribunal also revealed that some patients receiving these medications, such as bodybuilders and bouncers, had a history of abusing such substances. Other patients that visited Dr Epstein, who currently works at Atarmon on Sydney's north shore, were a woman with a history of mental illness and eating disorders, someone who was HIV positive, and another with warning signs of prostate cancer. The fact that the anti-ageing doctor failed to measure patients body weight or body mass index before prescribing dosages, and simply took patients' word on symptoms were also aired at the tribunal. The doctor is well known practitioner and has previously appeared in the media commenting on anti-ageing practices and similar areas. A tribunal found she was irresponsible diagnosing medications such as steroids and keeping inaccurate patient records . Dr Epstein also neglected to keep accurate or comprehensive records, and failed in communication with referring doctors. The five medications she prescribed were, according to Fairfax Media's report, anastrozole (Arimidex), human chorionic gonadotrophin, human growth hormone, nandrolone deconoate and testosterone. While the doctor prescribed drugs 'off-record', which means for a use other than their intended purpose, this in itself is not illegal. But the tribunal found that in conjuction with her other questionable practices, it was 'difficult to find the practitioner's off-label prescribing as conforming to acceptable medical practice'. Dr Epstein's barrister, Philip Greenwood SC asked the tribunal not to align his client's anti-ageing practice with that of conventional medicine. Mr Greenwood cited numerous medical studies which supported her actions, which were also supported by innovation in the industry. Dr Epstein has been a medical practitioner for 40 years and currently works in Artarmon on Sydney's north-short (pictured) However lawyers for the HCCC argued the case was not about the validity Dr Epstein's anti-ageing practices but her responsibility as a practitioner.

'All our focus at Motherwell in the next four games is fully on avoiding the play-offs altogether,' said Burrows. 'We fully accept and appreciate that there are rules on this in place. 'But, in the eventuality that we are in 11th place come the play-offs, then it is not our intention to charge our season-ticket holders for the play-off final at Fir Park.

Accused of a cash grab to keep more of the play-off cash, Hibs argue their main concern is that fans are being fleeced to atone for the absence of a league sponsor for the last two seasons.

What a curious sight to see Steve Bruce\u2019s players so lethargic, disinterested almost, in the first half against a side with nothing tangible to play for. Paul McShane scores against Swansea but Hull still fell to a 3-1 defeat at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday . Hull defender McShane is keeping faith that the Tigers will avoid relegation despite a tough run of games . Hull have only scored twice in their last six away games in the league. Stranger still when you consider their final seven games include fixtures against Southampton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United. They didn\u2019t manage a shot on target until they were two goals behind and, as they did against Chelsea a fortnight ago, they waited until the game was almost out of sight before stringing a few passes together.

The teenage daughter of a leading solicitor hanged herself in a hotel room after years of suffering a mystery illness that left her unable to eat, walk or open her eyes for long periods, an inquest has heard. Zoe Hadley, 19, also known as Zoe Hommel, had been battling an undiagnosed illness since the age of 13 and was found dead at a hotel in Putney, south west London last year. An inquest at Westminster Coroners Court heard how her parents, solicitor Lisa Hommel and her GP father Laurence, struggled to treat her condition. The inquest heard how doctors could find no physical cause for her illness and that the teenager refused to accept she had mental health problems. She insisted on having a series of operations, including the removal of her healthy appendix and accused her father of conspiring to fake an operation to make her believe she'd had a surgery for a prolapse. The inquest also heard that Miss Hadley suffered from psychosis but hid the condition from doctors, making them think she was not a suicide risk. After her death, notes she had written saying she was 'tormented by voices' indicating she might have been suffering from schizophrenia, the hearing was told. A statement read to the hearing on behalf of her father, Dr Hommel, described how he and his wife fought to cope with their daughter\u2019s illness and their vain attempts to help her. He said: 'She was a beautiful, intelligent, loving daughter. 'Up until the age of 13 she excelled at school. In 2009 she started to suffer terrible headaches and no physical causes were found. 'She was not eating, drinking or opening her eyes. It took her three months of treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital to open her eyes and look at us, four months to eat solid food, six months before she could get into a wheelchair. The cause of the illness was never found.' He said she recovered quickly and was 'so determined' to catch up with her friends after missing nine months of school she did a year\u2019s work in just one month, later coming top of her class. However, she relapsed in April 2011 and became convinced she could not use her legs. Her parents tended to her while trying to convince her she was perfectly fit. Dr Hommel added: 'From the age of 16 she started to go to the doctors to seek diagnoses for a neurological disease she believed she suffered from and seek a cure for her paralysis. 'In September 2011 she cut off all her school friends and never spoke to them again.' During that time she was bedbound for 18 months in hospital, but decided one day she was better and started getting involved as an actress and planning to go to America to finish her studies, the inquest heard.

The neglected cat from Sea Isle City in New Jersey was handed over to the rescue agency S.O.S Sea Isle Cats by a family facing a foreclosure on their home. Luckily for Sprinkles who is too fat to even groom herself, she is being cared for by pet rescue volunteer Stacy Jones Olandt. Fat cat: Sprinkles the 33-pound cat is so fat she can't even roll over and she's equally as fat as a 700-pound human, say rescue workers . 'Whatever position she\u2019s in, she\u2019s stuck. She can barely move,' said Olandt, a helper at the non-profit S.O.S. Sea Isle City Cats. When coming to collect Sprinkles, the volunteers at S.O.S were unable to carry her. They had to put her in a crate and get a man to carry her up the stairs, reports Press of Atlantic City. 'We\u2019re a bunch of old ladies. We had to get a young man to get her up the steps,' said Olandt. Sprinkles is a four-year-old spotted black and white cat who won the affection of the women working at S.O.S. Not only is Sprinkles overweight but when she was rescues she had an awful flea infestation, ear mites, and an ear infection. A healthy weight for Sprinkles would be 10 pounds which is 20 pounds less than she currently weighs. Olandt said that Sprinkles heavy weight can be compared to a person weighing 700 pounds. New hope: Cat rescuer Stacy Olandt, of Sea Isle City, plays with Sprinkles, a 33-pound female domestic short-haired cat on Thursday following her rescue . 'We\u2019ve seen fat cats at 20 to 25 pounds but this is just obscene. Cats, by and large, don\u2019t overfeed themselves. This is similar to a 600 or 700 pound human that should weigh 180 pounds,' said Olandt. Luckily for Sprinkles, she is expected to survive. Her fleas and mites are gone and her ear infection is being treated with antibiotics. She will hopefully lose a pound a month after being placed on a special diet. The next move is to find Sprinkles a loving home. 'She\u2019s sweet, sweet, sweet. I\u2019ve never seen so many people broken-hearted and hopeful at the same time,' said Olandt. Olandt told Phillymag.com that Sprinkles has a beautiful face, 'like a pretty fat girl.' 'She's letting us clean the red, raw spots, and she's so sweet. The lovingest, most precious cat. She's happy now. And she has a beautiful face, which I guess is what they say about fat girls,' said Olandt. She also said that when Sprinkles loses the weight she will need a tummy tuck so that her skin doesn't drag on the floor.

Nicole McDonough, 32, of Mount Olive, was arrested in December on suspicion of having sex with an 18-year-old student while employed as a teacher at Mendham High School. A subsequent investigation revealed that the married educator also allegedly engaged in improper 'communication' and 'fraternization' with two other 18-year-old male students. Looking for redemption: High school English teacher Nicole McDonough - seen here at her first court appearance in January - has applied for a Pre-Trial Intervention program in hopes of having the charges against her dropped . On Monday, McDonough applied for Morris County's Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) program, which provides first-time, non-violent offenders with alternatives to traditional prosecution. The program requires a probationary period of one to three years and comes with a list of conditions that must be met. If McDonough is allowed to enter the PTI, she may have to undergo random urine testing, pay restitution, and submit to psychological, drug and alcohol evaluations. If she meets all the conditions and successfully completes the diversion program, all charges against McDonough would be dropped and her criminal record would be expunged, reported NJ.com. If she flunks out of the program, her case will be returned to the court docket. Denise Arsenault, with the Morris County Prosecutor's Office, argued that the disgraced teacher would likely be ineligible for the program because of the trio of charges against her. It will be up to a judge to decide on McDonough's application upon hearing arguments from prosecutors and the defendant's attorney.

The relationships with the other two students then allegedly occurred in April, May, and June of 2014. Additionally, NJ.com have reported that McDonough does not face any sex charges because all three alleged victims were 18. The prosecution made it clear they believe she was only sexual with one of the boys. The indictment outlined that McDonough committed second-degree official misconduct because she 'did commit acts relating to her office, but constitutionally unauthorized exercises of her official functions'. McDonough did so 'with the purpose to obtain a benefit for herself, specifically emotional, mental and/or physical sexual gratification', the indictment said.

Both men were asked their opinion on the practice of sending sexy text messages in a quiz for fashion magazine Cosmopolitan's website. Green Party leader Natalie Bennett responded that it is 'OK for other adults but not for me'. And Education Secretary Nicky Morgan answered: 'A bit too risky, thank you very much!' The verdict: Politicians should not sext, says Ed Miliband (right) and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg (left) says it is 'risky' for youngsters and 'dodgy' if you are older . Their responses are hardly surprisingly considering the downfalls of fellow politicians when salacious messages are revealed in the press - including those sent by former MP Brooks Newmark and Tory official Iain Corby. The quiz, which was answered by hand, included a question on the worst thing about politics, which Mr Miliband said was Prime Minister's Questions - 'a bad advert for all of us'. Ms Bennett ticked 'not being able to make the changes you want to', while Ms Morgan opted for people thinking she is boring. Mr Clegg wrote: 'Sitting through 30 minutes of Cameron and Miliband yelling persistently at each other every Wednesday!' The four were also asked about what they would be if not politicians. Green Party leader Natalie Bennett responded that sexting is 'OK for other adults but not for me' Mr Clegg said a wildlife film-maker, while the Labour leader wrote: 'Trying to change the world somehow.' Ms Bennett said she would be an author and Ms Morgan a solicitor. Asked to describe their favourite hangover cure, Mr Miliband said: 'Drinking lots of water but it's been a long time since I had one...' Mr Clegg said: 'Three young boys running around usually does the trick.' Ms Morgan chose a bacon sandwich, while Ms Bennett responded: 'Home-baked gluten-free bread with butter and honey.' In another question, the politicians had to reveal the most hurtful thing they had read about themselves. The Labour leader offered: 'Where do I start?!' and Ms Bennett said a claim that she was trying to be cool, something she says she gave up at the age of 16. The Deputy Prime Minister replied: 'Not hurtful, just absurd - that I have a personal chef! Of course I don't.' Ms Morgan said it was generally people making assumptions about her motives when they have never met her. Another question asked what would be worse than joining the opposition. Mr Clegg said joining Ukip, while Ms Morgan said she would rather join the opposition than do a bungee jump. Ms Bennett and Mr Miliband responded 'none of the above' and 'no way' respectively.

Esparza, testifying in the trial's second day, said she was 'broken' by the assault, that Van was directing his anger not just at her attacker but at her, and that she did not know what Van and his friends would do once she pointed out Ramirez. 'He would just insult me,' she said. 'He would rant and just be explosive.' Revenge? Prosecutors say Van killed Ramirez as revenge for raping his on-and-off girlfriend Norma Esparza (pictured).

A set of wheels broke off the Boeing 737 moments after it touched down at the airport, near Derby, causing the cargo plane to skid along the runway for 380ft before coming to a stop. It happened as the plane delivered 10 tonnes of freight, including dangerous goods, on an Air Contractors flight that originated in Athens and included a stopover at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. The cargo planes left main landing gear detached due to heat damage to chrome plating, a report said . The plane\u2019s 38-year-old captain and co-pilot escaped injury, and there were no passengers on board when the left main landing gear detached. The plane, manufactured in 1990, suffered significant damage to its left wing and engine as it slid along the runway in darkness on the morning of April 29, 2014, according to an Air Accidents Investigation Branch report. As the plane landed its speed was reduced and the co-pilot handed control to the captain, who pressed on the brakes twice to disengage the autobrake system. The touchdown was \u2018unremarkable\u2019 and the autobrake functioned normally, according to the report, but the left main landing gear came off when an inner cylinder, just above the axle, fractured as a result of heat damage to chrome plating. The report stated: \u2018The aircraft shuddered and rolled slightly left-wing-low as the lower part of the main landing gear detached.\u2019 It said that the source of the heat could not be determined. The report cited concerns about communications between air traffic control and other agencies .

The report stated: \u2018The co-pilot saw some smoke drift past the aircraft as it came to a halt. The commander \u2026 had reached the conclusion that one of the main landing gear legs had failed, but as a result of the other pilot\u2019s transmission, he was also concerned that the aircraft might be on fire.\u2019 The captain shut down the engines and switched off the battery as firefighters attended the scene, but the plane did not catch fire. Firefighters placed a ladder against the door to allow the captain and co-pilot to disembark, and they sprayed foam around the landing gear and engine as a precaution.

+{"article": "The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham wants dog owners to pick up their pets' droppings and use bins provided (pictured) A London council is to introduce CSI-style DNA testing for dogs so it can track and fine owners who don't clean up after their animals. The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham wants dog owners to submit a DNA sample from the inside of the animal's cheek so it is registered on a database. The council would then use stored information to match the animal responsible with any errant mess found on the streets - and issue the owner an \u00a380 fine. The laboratory testing is believed to be 99.9 per cent accurate. The council hopes that the collection of DNA samples would fit well with new national laws requiring all owners in Britain to microchip their dogs by April next year. And while it will mean an expense for the council, they believe it will represent value for money for residents as similar schemes in the US have reduced dog fouling by up to 90 per cent. The move is part of efforts from the council to reduce its \u00a32.3million annual street cleansing bill. Although the methods may seem extreme, Council leader Councillor Darren Rodwell claims they are necessary to clean up the borough. He said: 'We are the first Council in the country to get really tough on dog mess and pet owners who do not act in a socially responsible way. 'The vast majority of dog owners in Barking and Dagenham are socially responsible but unfortunately a selfish few think it's ok to not clean up after their pet. 'Dog mess not only spoils our streets \u2013 it's also a health hazard and especially to young children which is why we are using this innovative approach.' The scheme is currently being discussed under the tagline Leading A New Way - but there are no plans as yet to make it mandatory. The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Civic Centre pictured, will become the first in the UK to introduce the plans which will allow them to match dog mess to owners and issue fines . They're currently in discussion with stakeholders including the Kennel Club, Keep Britain Tidy and Streetkleen, the company which will run the DNA testing, on how owners can be encouraged to submit the samples. Streetkleen managing director Gary Downie said: 'I believe the combination of DNA testing and enforcement could be the most effective means of ensuring owners are held accountable for their dog's actions. 'In the US, we have experienced reductions in dog fouling by as much as 90 per cent after introducing the programme. 'For the vast majority of responsible dog owners this should pose no problem at all.

He said: 'It was sheer frustration at how the club was doing. I just wanted my voice heard.'

He said: 'I got to the front of the subs stand. I was there for a few seconds. 'I stood there and shrugged my shoulders. I pointed towards the pitch to say it was not good enough and that was it.' Bryant, who has no previous convictions, said he had been contacted by 'unhappy' Southampton fans who made threats and which made his partner fearful for them and their two children and that he had reported the incidents to police.

Qualifier McGill exuded calm assurance as he saw off the defending champion 13-9 to book a quarter-final place, never appearing overawed by the match or the gradual position of control he developed over the course of Friday. This is McGill's first World Championship and it had already been one to remember before he crossed cues with Selby, having beaten his fellow Glaswegian and sometime practice partner Stephen Maguire 10-9 in the opening round, finishing with a century. Anthony McGill celebrates beating Mark Selby during day seven of the Betfred World Championships . Sinking Selby made it even more special, and now the sky is the limit for the 24-year-old, who has been quietly earmarked for greatness by those who know him best. Former Crucible semi-finalist Alan McManus, a close friend and a steady hand on McGill's shoulder, has tipped the former Junior Pot Black runner-up to take the trophy in Sheffield one day, and Ronnie O'Sullivan said there would be no worthier champion because of his dedication. In 2005, Shaun Murphy came through qualifying and went on to lift the title. Tantalisingly Murphy could be next in line for McGill, a slender, shy man with a short ginger crop and a contagious giggle he often breaks into around the table. Selby, the Jester from Leicester, found little to laugh about during their contest. Like Murphy 10 years ago, McGill was a 150/1 outsider with bookmakers before the tournament began. McGill was the architect of Selby's demise, but the famous curse, which has at the very least become a factor lodged in the back of every first-time champion's mind, will be cited too. Selby (left) congratulates McGill on his victory during day seven of the Betfred World Championships . No maiden winner of the World Championship in Sheffield has returned a year later to retain the trophy, with Selby becoming the 16th man to falter, joining a list that includes greats of the game such as Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry and O'Sullivan. A steady opening session on Thursday had seen he and McGill reach 4-4, but the Scot stretched 10-6 clear by lunch on Friday after firing breaks of 56, 125 and 54, and there was no flinching from the outsider when play resumed in the evening. They shared the opening two frames, before 87 from McGill took him 12-7 clear, inflicting a mortal blow to Selby's prospects. McGill sets his sights on the white has he plays his way to victory against Selby at the Crucible .

'Gas isn't 32 cents and a pack of cigarettes isn't 30 cents,' he said. 'It's a whole new ball game.' Hanline was in his early thirties when he was charged with killing friend, Ventura resident J.T. McGarry in 1978. He said he kept waiting for justice to prevail but had no idea that he would spent the next 36 years in prison. 'When I first got arrested, I figured it might take a year or two to get this all straightened around but not 36,' he said, including two years he spent in jail after his arrest but before his conviction. He added: 'I never believed I'd spend the rest of my life in prison, but man, 36 years is a long, long time.' McGarry, a Ventura resident who also used the name Michael Mathers, dealt in drugs and ran motorcycle-oriented swap meets for the publishers of Easyriders magazine, according to court papers. He went missing on November 10, 1978, and was found shot to death two days later by a highway. Hanline, who was romantically involved with McGarry's ex-girlfriend, was arrested on an unrelated charge that month after traveling to Northern California and using McGarry's credit card, court papers stated. He was charged with murder by prosecutors who suggested his motive was jealousy over McGarry's on-again, off-again relationship with the ex-girlfriend.

'One-nil to the Arsenal' used to be commonplace before Arsene Wenger arrived and made everything more exciting, and you sensed the class of 2015 quite enjoyed travelling north and nicking the narrowest of victories at Burnley with a first-half goal from Aaron Ramsey. It was Arsenal's eighth win in a row, their best run since the Invincibles team in 2004, and kept the pressure on Chelsea, who they meet in their next league game at the Emirates. Only once before this season have Arsenal won 1-0 but striker Olivier Giroud feels the hard-fought victory proved there is more to this current Wenger team than pass-pass-pass and dissolve when the going gets tough. In other words, they are built to last. Olivier Giroud wants Arsenal to continue their Premier League winning streak and challenge for the title . 'You can't play your best football every game. We tried to be focused on not conceding and it's one more clean sheet,' Giroud said proudly. 'As long as we were winning the game I don't think we were in too much danger. We are really pleased. 'If we had been told we would win this game 1-0 I would have signed for it straight away. Burnley played really tough against us. It was a big fight. 'We know about the record of the Invincibles. It's really good for us to be near that and I'm really proud to take part. But we don't want to stop here. We want to carry on and keep this good run going until the end.' Aaron Ramsey's 12th-minute strike was enough for Arsenal to earn a 1-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday . The win was Arsenal's eighth in a row and they kept up the pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea . If Arsenal manage that, Jose Mourinho might have a far tighter finish to the title race than he could have anticipated a couple of months ago. Wenger has even found his own Claude Makelele in 23-year-old Frenchman Francis Coquelin who sat in front of the back-four and kept Burnley's chances to a minimum on Saturday. Club legend Thierry Henry even gave him a new nickname 'The Detective' for the way he sensed danger and snuffed it out. 'I always knew I could do a job for the team. I just needed a chance to show it,' said Coquelin, who was sent loan to Charlton earlier this season. It's ironic that having preached the beautiful game for nearly two decades Wenger has finally found a couple of warriors in Laurent Koscielny and Coquelin that hark back to the Tony Adams era. Arsene Wenger's side face Chelsea in their next home game and have an FA Cup semi-final to look forward to . Even if they can't catch Chelsea this time they will fancy a proper tilt at the Premier League next season and by then they might be back-to-back FA Cup winners.

In the end they could only muster five of the eight wickets they needed on day five as Holder's unbeaten 103 steered the hosts to 350 for seven. Alastair Cook holds his head in his hands after the chance to take a crucial wicket goes begging in Antigua . Cook stands next to West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin as both sides settled for a draw in the first Test . Cook did everything in his power to force the issue, rotating his bowlers, tinkering with fields and leaving close catchers in place from first ball to last. But in the end he was deflated, with just three days before the second Test in Grenada. 'I think the whole dressing room has a bit of a downer on because we left everything on the pitch, as we had to do,' he said. 'I wouldn't swap much of what we did on a pretty docile wicket, but credit to Holder because he soaked up a bit of pressure. 'I think you could start another Test match again on that wicket and it would last another five days. It didn't deteriorate at all but we came close to winning a Test match on it.

'We threw everything at the West Indies, we played a pretty good Test match and came up just a little short. 'It was probably a points victory but we go to Grenada now.' England are unlikely to get much more assistance from the deck in St George's, though it could be more receptive to turn. That brings Moeen Ali into the equation, with the off-spinning all-rounder passed fit after an abdominal injury and linking up with the squad in Grenada. England will also be wary about over-burdening their seam bowlers in back to back Tests, but Cook was not ready to speculate on possible personnel changes.

Inseparable: Zookeepers were nervous that Maggie might reject Kecil after raising four of her own children and another surrogate which was given to her in 2002, but she has proved her parenting prowess once again . When the pair appeared in front of news crews earlier today, Kecil began crying after losing sight of Maggie for a few moments. But the elder orangutan quickly returned, at which point Kecil quietened down and scooted over to join her, reports the Chicago Sun Times. Kecil had to be moved from his birthplace at Toledo zoo, in Ohio, 14 months ago after his natural mother failed to bond with him properly after birth. He was moved to Milwaukee County Zoo and given to a second surrogate, but she did not form a bond with him either. In a final attempt to find a parent for Kecil, he was handed over to Maggie, the oldest orangutan in North America, who has already raised four children of her own, and a fifth surrogate which was given to her in 2002. The pair immediately showed signs of intimacy, but zookeepers still faced a tense wait to see if the elderly orangutan would take on full parental duties.

New figures released by the MoD show that since 2008, 994 personnel have been treated for mental health issues after having been prescribed Lariam. Despite Lariam - the brand name for the drug mefloquine - being banned by the U.S. military due to concerns over side effects, the MoD has ignored appeals to stop prescribing it in what critics say is an escalating 'scandal'. Major-General Alastair Duncan (pictured) is currently in a psychiatric unit after having been given the drug prior to a deployment in Sierra Leone . According to The Independent's Jonathan Owen, retired Major General Alastair Duncan is currently in a psychiatric unit following a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder episode four months ago. Maj-Gen Duncan was given the drug Lariam before a deployment to Sierra Leone. His wife Ellen told the paper: 'If 1,000 troops have reported the effects then you can be sure there are others who have not. I know personally of several and anecdotally of many more. The long-term effects of this will be more and more in evidence over the coming years.' Mrs Duncan's comments follow those from string of former military servicemen who have hit out at the MoD over its continuing use of Lariam. General Lord Dannatt told the paper it was 'extraordinary' the MoD continued to prescribe Lariam given the weight of evidence about its side effects, and urged it to use other anti-malaria medicines. Lariam's use by the U.S. military has also been closely scrutinized. The drug has been heavily discredited by the country's medicine watchdog. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns Lariam can cause serious mental health issues and should not be taken by anyone suffering from depression. These include anxiety, seizures, paranoia, hallucinations, and depression. In 2013, the organisation gave it a 'boxed warning' - the most serious of its kind - due to the neurological and psychiatric side effects associated with it. It stated: 'Neurologic side effects can occur at any time during drug use, and can last for months to years after the drug is stopped or can be permanent.' It went on to state that such symptoms interfered with patients' daily activities and ability to work, and in some cases were noticed after having taken only one or two doses. The U.S. military banned Lariam after it was linked to the case of Robert Bales, a soldier who massacred 16 Afghan civilians. Mefloquin is used to treat malaria and was developed by Army researchers towards the end of the Vietnam War. It gained support among the fighting forces because it works in areas where mosquitoes developed resistance to an earlier treatment, chloroquine, and requires just one tablet a week, not the daily dose needed with other medications. Side effects include seizures, depression, hallucinations, violent behaviour, feeling that others want to harm you, thoughts of hurting or killing yourself and many others.

'Glenn has had to change his game a little bit and he goes to Sunderland, goals per minute, as the best striker in the Premier League,' Pardew added. 'That is great for him, it really is.

Mr Fidler yesterday compared the situation to an artist being made to destroy a piece of work. \u2018It would be like Rembrandt being asked to rip up his masterpiece of an oil painting or something for me to demolish it,\u2019 he complained.

There was no farmhouse, however, so from 2000 he began building the house around two grain silos at a cost of \u00a350,000. Features include weathered brick and stone, carved wooden pillars and beams and a stained-glass dome above the stairwell.

Wearing the same black T-shirt and dark-rimmed glasses as in previous hearings, Jutting, 30, returned to magistrates' court after being deemed fit to stand trial in November following psychiatric tests. The former Merrill Lynch Bank of America employee faces life in prison if he is convicted of the murder charges. British banker Rurik Jutting (L), charged with grisly murders of two women, sits in a prison van as he arrives at the eastern court in Hong Kong, on April 2 . Jutting is accused of the murders of two Indonesian women. His case has been adjourned for five weeks . But the case was adjourned until May 8 after the prosecution asked for more time. One-time securities trader Jutting, who has not yet entered a plea in the case, was attentive but looked tired. He spoke twice to say: 'I do' when asked whether he understood the two charges against him. Seneng Mujiasih and Sumarti Ningsih, both in their 20s, were found dead in Jutting's upmarket flat in the early hours of November 1 after he called police. Mujiasih was found in the living room, naked and with knife wounds to her legs and buttocks. The decaying body of Ningsih was found hours later in a suitcase on the balcony. High-flying Cambridge graduate Jutting is being held at Hong Kong's maximum security Siu Lam psychiatric prison -- a walled hilltop compound on the outskirts of Hong Kong. Defence counsel Tim Parker accused the prosecution of \"yo-yo-ing\" for initially saying that they would need until July to present a case, then coming back to court, only to delay once more. 'It was an unnecessary waste of cost... My client was forced to come here,' said Parker, who added that the prosecution had sent the defence its committal papers - the case documents - too late. Magistrate Jason Wan turned down an application for costs, saying that it was 'not unusual' for a complex case to take time. Once all the evidence is submitted, after being reviewed by both sides, the magistrate will commit the case to the High Court, which handles murder cases and where an official plea must be entered. In a city generally regarded as safe by residents and known for its high-end shops and glitzy skyscrapers, the killings were unusually brutal and shone a spotlight on the seedy underbelly of the finance hub. Police have said they were investigating whether the two women were sex workers after cocaine and sex toys were found in the apartment, just a few streets away from Hong Kong's red-light district, where Jutting was reportedly a regular. But their distraught parents told AFP they believed their children had been working at restaurants. Mujiasih had entered the city on a domestic worker visa in 2010, but that had lapsed in 2012, while Ningsih came in on a tourist visa in October last year.", "summary": "Jutting was deemed fit to stand trial in November .

She said that the affair ended in 2014 when Juan Carlos abdicated in favour of his son, Felipe. He married former Queen Sofia in 1962 and became king in 1975.

The 77-year-old former king's friendship with Sayn-Wittgenstein, 50, who is divorced from the German prince whose name she bears, emerged in 2012 when Juan Carlos was flown home from Botswana on a private jet after suffering an injury while on an expensive elephant-hunting holiday. Juan Carlos, pictured here with Queen Sofia in May 2014, was said to be so smitten with Sayn-Wittgenstein that he considered a divorce . The German woman, who is 27 years younger than Juan Carlos, was among those accompanying the monarch on the trip, which sparked outrage at a time when Spain was grappling with record unemployment and risked needing an international bailout. Juan Carlos, who won respect for his role in guiding Spain's transition to democracy after the death of longtime dictator General Francisco Franco in 1975, made an unprecedented apology for his behaviour but his popularity took a serious hit. Romero said the uproar over the hunting trip, combined with a string of health problems and a corruption scandal implicating his youngest daughter Cristina, created the 'perfect storm' which pushed Juan Carlos to abdicate.

Police have identified 25 people who claim the Labour peer attacked them and each could claim for up to \u00a3100,000. One man, allegedly attacked by Janner when he was living in a children's homes between 1981 and 1988, has already instructed lawyers to sue him and Leicestershire County Council for damages. His solicitor Peter Garsden, president of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers, has said that after a string of bungled investigations suing 'may be the only way the alleged victims are going to get some sort of justice'. Several of those who claim to have been sexually abused say Janner got to them through paedophile Frank Beck, a manager of Leicester children's homes accused of abusing more than 200 boys. The CPS last week said the 'core allegation' was that Lord Janner befriended Beck to access children 'to allow him to perpetrate serious sexual offences' on them. Beck died in jail in 1994. Mr Garsden said: 'We are preparing a claim for this man against Lord Janner and Leicestershire County Council. 'The allegations involved the most extreme abuse. Our case is that Frank Beck was running the home where this man was introduced to Greville Janner.

On its company website, Steelcase said the Brody is designed to be 'good for your body and good for your brain'. Scroll down for video . Office furniture company Steelcase designed the work space seating to provide privacy in an open office setting (above designs of the Brody WorkLounge) The seating will be available for purchase in late August starting at $2,700 .

The Reds made three trips to the national stadium in 2012 after winning the League Cup and losing the FA Cup to Chelsea, but the Brazil international missed all of them with a serious knee injury sustained in the previous November. But having played his part in the 1-0 quarter-final win at Blackburn, Lucas is hoping to get his chance in the last-four encounter with Aston Villa on April 19.

Lucas (left) challenges Markus Olsson as Liverpool beat Blackburn 1-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final replay . Lucas can play his first game at Wembley in a Liverpool shirt when they meet Aston Villa in the semi-final . 'Unfortunately I got an injury before we got to Wembley so I missed [the chance to play there],' he said. 'Hopefully I'll be fit and be able to play at Wembley. I've never played there, so it will be a very good experience and after many years here, to have that chance is amazing. 'I think everyone could see how hard we worked. We knew it was going to be a very hard game in difficult conditions, but I think we did well and we are so happy to get to Wembley and hopefully get to the final.' Victory over Blackburn intensified talk of the team giving captain Steven Gerrard, who departs for Los Angeles Galaxy, the perfect send-off as his birthday falls on the day of the final. However, the midfielder was suspended for the tie at Ewood Park and it was Lucas's compatriot Philippe Coutinho who made the difference with a 70th-minute strike, having scored a brilliant last-minute winner in a fourth-round replay at Bolton. Coutinho has arguably been Liverpool's best player over the last five months having not only finally seemed to have grown in stature as a playmaker but also adding goals to his armoury. 'I have known him for a very long time and I know what he's capable of doing,' Lucas told liverpoolfc.com. 'He's becoming an even bigger player for the club and he's got a long way to go in terms of age and experience, but he's already right there with the top players.'

The design soon infiltrated British architecture. Briggs, a renowned architect, published his interpretation of the style in the 1891 book Bungalows and Country Residences. A hallmark of the traditional Indian-Victorian bungalow was a large veranda at the front of a property like the one found at Pleasaunce Cottage. Set over 2,542sq ft, the house has four bedrooms, four reception rooms and a cellar. The main sitting room is double height with a gallery and the original inglenook fireplace.

British tennis fans face a Wimbledon-type scramble for Davis Cup quarter-final tickets this summer . Andy Murray enjoys a spot of Champions League action alongside his friend Ross Hutchins at the Nou Camp . The Lawn Tennis Association acceded to the wishes of Andy Murray and GB Captain Leon Smith to play the tie on grass, which they feel best enhances their chances in what is a first Davis Cup quarter final staged at home in 29 years. That very much narrowed down the choice of venues for the tie that begins just five days after Wimbledon. The All England Club was never an option due to the stress the grass courts take during The Championships and ongoing development work there. A by-product is that tickets are likely to be as scarce as they are for the big fortnight. Sponsors plus organisations such as the LTA, Wimbledon, the International Tennis Federation and the French Federation have to be catered for. Queen's members will also have a considerable allocation as the tie means the stands there being up nearly all summer, with the AEGON Championships taking place in the middle of June as the main warm-up for SW19. Murray has an affinity for The Queen's club, having won the AEGON title there three times . Murray is currently practicing in Spain before beginning his clay court campaign later this year .

The England captain, without an international century for almost two years, failed for the second time in the first Test as his old failing against the full ball just outside off-stump was again exploited by West Indies. To compound Cook\u2019s misery, there was also another failure for Jonathan Trott, who has endured a nightmare return to the England team for his 50th Test, 18 months after the trauma of leaving the Ashes tour following his 49th. The double blow at the start of England\u2019s second innings left them with much to do in this first Test to work their way towards a winning position at the Sir Viv Richards Stadium even though they earned a first-innings lead of 104. Cook simply cannot afford many more mistakes, with new ECB chairman Colin Graves demanding victory here over opposition in West Indies he condemned as \u2018mediocre\u2019 ahead of this trip. Cook returned to something like his best last year with three half-centuries in his last four Test innings against India but his woeful one-day form in Sri Lanka led England to jettisoning him as 50-over captain ahead of the World Cup. He arrived in the Caribbean still smarting from that blow but with a slightly altered technique and looked refreshed in scoring a warm-up hundred against St Kitts. The step up to Test level, however, has seen Cook struggling and Jerome Taylor looked anything but mediocre in sending both him and Trott back with just 20 on the board as England endured a rocky start to their second innings. Trott has been recalled in the unaccustomed role of opener but has looked jittery in scoring a duck and now four and was noticeably falling over in the crease as he edged a decent ball from Taylor to Denesh Ramdin. Alastair Cook failed with the bat once again on day three of the first Test in Antigua . Jonathan Trott was also out cheaply as the first three wickets once again fell for not many . James Tredwell earlier picked up four wickets as England bowled West Indies out for 295 in their first innings . It is far too early to say that England\u2019s gamble in bringing back a man who left Australia with what was later diagnosed as \u2018situational anxiety\u2019 has backfired but Trott will be under significant pressure in the second Test. Cook\u2019s problems have been going on much longer and it is no exaggeration to say that he will be fighting for his job for the rest of this three-match series, particularly with change sweeping through English cricket.

Muller-Wohlfahrt claims the German champions' medical department has been blamed for Wednesday night's 3-1 first-leg defeat in Portugal which left their Champions League hopes hanging by a thread. The 72-year-old medical professional, renowned as a world leader in his field, said 'the bond of trust is damaged' and called the blame centred at his department 'inexplicable'. His son Kilian, Peter Ueblacker and Lutz Hansel, who are all part of the team at Bayern, have also resigned.

The 72-year-old is renowned as a world leader in his field and has been at Bayern for almost 40 years . Muller-Wohlfahrt (fourth from left) sits behind Pep Guardiola during the defeat on Wednesday evening . Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt has often courted controversy with his methods. He claims that a substance called Hyalart, which is extracted from the crest of cockerels, helps lubricate knee injuries and take away pain. He also swears by Actovegin, an amino acid preparation derived from calves' blood. In 2009, he prescribed more than 50 injections of goat's blood to St Johnstone striker Peter MacDonald for his hamstring injury. Among those to have been treated by him are Ronaldo, Usain Bolt, Michael Owen and Jose Maria Olazabal. Muller-Wohlfahrt claims to have administered more than one million injections, at least half of which have been to athletes. A statement from Muller-Wohlfahrt read: 'After the Champions League match of Bayern Munich against Porto the medical department was for some inexplicable reason made primarily responsible. The bond of trust is damaged.' And on Friday morning, the club released the following statement: 'FC Bayern Munich notes with regret the decision of chief medical officer Dr Hans-Wilhelm M\u00fcller-Wohlfahrt (72) to resign his medical duties at the club. 'Dr Muller-Wohlfahrt in particular, but also his team, have performed first-class work for the club and its players over the years. Our sincere thanks are due for this. 'FC Bayern will shortly announce new arrangements for the club\u2019s medical unit. Until then Dr Volker Braun, sports physician and consulting physician in trauma surgery and orthopaedics, will support the FC Bayern team at matches.' Pep Guardiola had just 14 fit players to choose from at the Estadio do Dragao and the Bayern manager implied in his post-match comments that the defeat was down to the lack of available players. 'We have players who were out a long time with injuries,' he said. 'Their legs don't last very long. It's a tough result to take into the second leg, but we'll give it a go.'

The town that drew only 12.3 percent of registered voters last April had 29.4 percent turnout Tuesday, according to the St. Louis County Board of Elections. That was about double the overall turnout in St. Louis County, where Ferguson is located. Unofficial results showed that Wesley Bell defeated another black candidate to win in the 3rd Ward; Ella Jones defeated another black candidate and two white candidates in the 1st Ward; and Brian Fletcher, a former mayor who is white, won a 2nd Ward race against another white candidate. 'This community came out in record numbers to make sure our voices were heard,' said councilman-elect Bell. 'When you have a community engaged, the sky is the limit.' He described it as part of a healing and rebuilding process. It was the first municipal election in Ferguson since officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Michael Brown, who was black and unarmed, on Aug. 9. The shooting sparked sometimes violent protests in the St. Louis area, and spawned a national Black Lives Matter movement to press for change in how police deal with local minorities. It also prompted a review by the U.S. Justice Department, which decided not to prosecute Wilson, who resigned in November. But the federal department released a scathing report blasting the city for racial bias and profiling in the police department and a profit-driven municipal court system. 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. The new city council will be tasked with approving hiring of the replacements. The scrutiny in the wake of the shooting also found that the city had a mostly white police force and city leadership - the mayor also is white.

+{"article": "Genetically engineering plants and crops to change their DNA has been a cause of much controversy in recent years. But new research has found that Mother Nature might be making its own GM food, as sweet potatoes have been found to genetically modify themselves. And this seems to have been occurring for thousands of years, meaning humans have been unknowingly eating GM foods for much longer than they thought. Scientists in Belgium say all sweet potatoes (stock image shown) contain 'foreign DNA'. Agrobacterium bacteria in the crop exchanges genes between species. This makes sweet potatoes a 'natural genetically modified organism'. And humans have been eating it for thousands of years . The remarkable finding of \u2018foreign DNA\u2019 in the vegetable shows that it contains a type of natural genetically modified organism (GMO). The research was conducted by scientists from Ghent University in Belgium and the International Potato Institute (CIP). Sweet potato is one of the most important food crops for human consumption, especially in Sub-Sahara Africa, parts of Asia and the Pacific islands. It is one of the earliest domesticated crops with archeological findings in caves of the Cholca Canyon in Peru that are 8,000 to 10,000 years old. Despite the name, sweet potato is not related to potato; we eat the tuber from potato, while from sweet potato mainly the storage root is eaten. Other sweet potato parts are edible, such as the leaves. It is not the first instance of natural GMOs to be found, but it is the first in sweet potatoes - a major crop plant. And the researchers say sweet potatoes all over the world contain this genetic modification. The study focused around bacteria called Agrobacterium, sometimes referred to as \u2018nature\u2019s genetic engineer.\u2019 It is known to do something called \u2018horizontal gene transfer\u2019, which involves exchanging genes between different species - in contrast to normal gene transfer within one species. Agrobacterium is specialised to transfer part of its own DNA, called T-DNA, to plants - and it was this T-DNA that was found in sweet potatoes. In total the researchers studied 291 samples of sweet potato from the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania, and found evidence of Agrobacterium in all of them. Agrobacterium is known to do something called \u2018horizontal gene transfer\u2019, which involves exchanging genes between different species - in contrast to normal gene transfer within one species.

So when the Incas needed to travel across the Andes, they did so on handwoven rope bridges, stretched over gorges and rivers.

Dangerous work: Local villagers work on renewing the Keshwa Chaca - the last Inca rope bridge - in the Andes near Huinchiri, Peru . Incredible skill: The 90ft long Keshwa Chaca remains thanks to local villagers who rebuild the bridge each year using the same techniques as their Inca ancestors . As they expanded their empire, the Incas built an entire network of bridges to move armies, people and goods quickly and efficiently over the mountains. Even though it would take another 300 years before suspension bridges came to Europe, it is estimated that the Inca kingdom was connected by some 200, all made by hand. The bridges were an integral part of the incredible Inca road system that stretches for 25,000 miles, from modern-day Ecuador to Argentina. The last Incas disappeared in the early 17th century, and over the years their bridges followed. The Keshwa Chaca remains thanks to local villagers who rebuild the bridge each year using the same techniques as their Inca ancestors. Craft: The ropes for the bridge are made from the 'ichu' grass, which is braided by the local villagers . Safe walk: Although the Keshwa Chaca bridge may look frail, it has been proven to support the weight of 56 people standing across the walkway . Ready to go: As the last Inca bridge, Keshwa Chaca has become a tourist attraction, with visitors paying a small fee to walk across the gorge . Ancient tradition: It takes three days to rebuild the Keshwa Chaca, which is done in June every year . It spans 90ft over the Apurimac River some 100ft below, and villagers claim it has been there for 500 years. In the Inca days, local villagers would rebuild the Keshwa Chaca each year as a way of paying tax, but in modern times residents of the region keep the ancient tradition and skills alive by renewing the bridge every June. After the bridge has been built, it is left to disintegrate before being constructed again the next year. The raw material is 'ichu', a type of grass common on the sparse mountainsides of the Andes, which is braided into rope for the bridge. Each household in the four nearby villages is responsible for bringing 90 feet of braided grass rope, Slate reports. The bridge consists of five parallel 'ichu' ropes, which are braided to be about four inches thick, fastened at stone platforms on each side of the gorge.

Arthur Pockett lost both legs as a result of his wounds at Passchendaele. He and Jean met and married after the war, when Jean was his neighbour and began helping the much older Arthur to look after his cat. Married life was difficult as Arthur suffered continually from his injuries.

After a 30-minute taxi ride through darkness and impenetrable forests, The Datai appeared with all the colour and wonder of the Emerald City.

To minimise its impact on the jungle, Hill limited the size of the main building and added 40 villas over the extensive grounds, along with restaurants and a spa alongside a creek. He sourced wood, marble and stone from across the island and mainland Malaysia to create Mayan walls, Malay roofs and Japanese screens.

+{"article": "Lance Armstrong has said the World Anti-Doping Agency and others are 'owed an apology' from him for cheating during his cycling career - but noted that the agency's chief rebuffed efforts to meet back in 2013. David Howman, director general of WADA, said this week that he is disappointed Armstrong had not apologised for costly and time-consuming lawsuits before the former cycling champion admitted using performance-enhancing drugs. Armstrong initially declined comment on Howman's remark, but on Wednesday provided the AP with a May 2013 email exchange with Howman, who initially indicted he could meet with Armstrong, then backed off under advice from WADA lawyers. Lance Armstrong admits groups such as WADA, USADA and others are owed an apology for his offences . WADA director general David Howman said this week that he was disappointed Armstrong hadn't apologised . 'I can talk at a suitable time and at a suitable place ... What do you suggest?' Howman responded to Armstrong's first inquiry about a meeting. A few days later, after Armstrong recounted his upcoming schedule, Howman broke off the discussion. 'Having reflected upon your request to meet with me, and having taken advice from our lawyers, it is apparent that it is a situation where little, if anything, can be gained from such a meeting,' Howman wrote Armstrong. Howman did not immediately respond Wednesday to requests for comment. Armstrong won the Tour de France every year from 1999-2005. Those titles were stripped after a massive report in 2012 by the US Anti-Doping Agency detailed doping by Armstrong and his US Postal Service teammates. In the email, Howman said he told Armstrong's attorneys months earlier they should meet with USADA. Although the intent of the meeting request with Howman is not relayed in emails, Armstrong said Wednesday he reached out to Howman in hopes of discussing a potential 'truth and reconciliation' effort to confront doping in cycling. Armstrong first declined comment on Howman's remark but then revealed his attempt to meet him in 2013 . Armstrong's agreement to take part in a Tour de France charity ride with former England footballer Geoff Thomas has caused controversy with some in cycling saying his presence at the event is disrespectful . A probe into the sport's doping problems was later conducted by the Cycling Independent Reform Commission, which met twice with Armstrong and issued its report in March. Part of the report detailed Armstrong's efforts to debunk a report by the French newspaper L'Equipe that found his urine samples from the 1999 Tour de France tested positive for EPO, a hormone that helps endurance. The UCI hired Dutch lawyer Emile Vrijman to investigate the findings and the probe produced a report that Vrijman claimed exonerated Armstrong and instead blamed WADA and the testing lab. Amstrong holds up seven fingers, one for each of the Tour de France titles that were later stripped from him; and former UCI president Pat McQuaid at the 2012 press conference in Geneva that delivered his fate .

Everton manager Martinez felt Coleman had been barged by home striker Marvin Emnes before the Irish right-back scooped away the ball with his hands. And Martinez claimed referee Michael Oliver should have risen above the appeals from the Swansea faithful and used 'common sense' to rule in favour of Everton. Seamus Coleman falls over under the challenge from Marvin Emnes and handles the ball . Coleman appears to apologise to the visiting fans at the full-time whistle, but his manager says he was fouled . Martinez said on BT Sport 1: 'My thoughts are that straight away there is contact. Seamus tells me straight away there is contact and he gets unbalanced. 'Sometimes you need to apply a little bit of common sense. 'Clearly there's contact. I've seen it many times given as a free-kick. 'The whole action for me is too soft. I don't think that there's enough threat or a goalscoring threat to give a penalty. 'He's trying to protect the ball and gets unbalanced and from that point he expects the free-kick to be given.

Jonjo Shelvey made no mistake from the spot as the former Liverpool midfielder equalised for Swansea . 'It's one of those actions where you expect the referee to be a little bit more above the occasion.

Martinez labelled the result 'a real disappointment', after Aaron Lennon's first-half strike had looked set to give the visitors all three points. Jonjo Shelvey tucked away the penalty equaliser in the 69th minute. Martinez added: 'The only criticism is we had a period of 10, 15, 20 minutes where we were too comfortable in the second half and didn't find that final shot or try to score the second goal, but apart from that I do feel the draw doesn't reflect what happened.'

An amazing quirk of genetics means that one sister has black skin and the other is white. Father Curtis Martin and mother Rebecca Horton cradle twins Kendall (centre left) and Baylee (centre right) who were born with very different skin tones thanks to a rare quirk of genetics . Miss Horton, 28, is white, while Mr Curtis, 24, is half Jamaican. Their twins' skin contrast is possible because the girls are non-identical, though it is still highly unlikely . The effect is so striking that even their own father has said it is hard to believe that they are related. And their mother, Rebecca Horton, said: \u2018When they were born, we kept staring at both of them \u2013 we couldn\u2019t believe it. \u2018It was a lovely feeling and a big shock. \u2018One thing I know for sure is that family and friends won\u2019t ever struggle to tell them apart.\u2019 The little girls\u2019 contrasting looks can be traced back to their parents. Their father, Curtis Martin, is half-Jamaican, while their mother is white. As non-identical twins, they were created when two eggs were fertilised by two sperm. This means they have inherited different genes from their parents. Normally, you would expect both to inherit a mix of black and white genes and be born with a similar skin tone. Mr Curtis says that the couple do get looks when they are out in public with the girls, and admits that if he saw somebody with them, he would struggle to believe they were related . The girls also have very different personalities, as well as different skin tones. Kedall (left) is very relaxed and likes to sleep a lot, but Baylee (right) cries a lot and demands lots of attention . But, in odds of a million to one, Baylee has inherited a set of genes for white skin. And Kendall\u2019s genetic inheritance includes some genes that code for black skin, passed on from her mixed-race father. The twins also have very different characters. Kendall, who weighed 6lb 1oz when she was born three months ago, is very laid-back and likes nothing more than to sleep the day away. The pair say that since having twins they have forgotten what it feels like to have a good night's sleep, but say they wouldn't have it any other way . In contrast, Baylee, who was slightly heavier at 6lb 5oz , is \u2018loud and needy\u2019 and loves attention. This could come in useful, as she and her sister are already attracting attention wherever they go. Their mother, a 28-year-old delivery driver for Asda, said: \u2018When people look in the pram and see that one is darker than the other, they will sometimes be a bit thrown and ask if they are twins. \u2018They are shocked when we say yes.\u2019 Mr Martin, a 24-year-old builder from Kingswinford in the West Midlands, told the Sun: \u2018Everybody loves", "summary": "Rebecca Horton, 28, and Curtis Martin, 24, had twins Kendall and Baylee .

After finishing third behind current leaders Benfica and Sporting Lisbon last season, the 'Dragons' took quite a risk in opting for Lopetegui. The 48-year-old had only managed two seasons at club level with Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid B before impressing as coach in the Spanish youth ranks.

The work at the Dome of the Rock was simply meant to replace carpet, worn away by thousands of pilgrims at the gold-topped shrine, which overlooks old Jerusalem. But when the old carpet was lifted, it revealed previously undocumented ancient floor designs - which could point to where the gold-cased Ark of the Covenant was buried 2,500 years ago. The discovery of the cryptic geometric patterns immediately caught the attention of some researchers, thrilled at the possibility of solving the Indiana Jones-type mystery which touches upon a holy grail for biblical enthusiasts.

'Something is there. I don't know what. But something is hidden there,' said Israeli archaeologist Zachi Dvira, who studies the site. Yet it looks likely it will remain a mystery: scholars did not get the chance to document the designs before workmen began laying the new carpet, paid for by King Abdullah II of Jordan, the country which remains the custodian of the area's Muslim holy sites. It has sparked a war of words between the Waqf, the Muslim authority that administers the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, which includes the Dome of the Rock, and Israeli archaeological authorities, who say the repairs were carried out behind their backs. The scholars also fear the glue being used may permanently damage the floor. Israel's housing minister Uri Ariel, of the nationalist Jewish Home party, waded in to the argument to urge an immediate halt to the work.

+{"article": "Drinking two cups of coffee a day could halve the risk of breast cancer returning, a study found. A cancer-killing cocktail of the hormone drug tamoxifen and two coffees every day was found to reduce the risk of tumours returning by 50 per cent in women recovering from the disease, researchers said. Tamoxifen kills off cancer cells or stunts their growth by blocking the cancer-causing hormone oestrogen from reaching diseased cells. Women who have suffered from breast cancer can slash the chances of the cancer returning by half - if they enjoy two cups of coffee a day, as well as taking hormone drug tamoxifen (picture posed by model) It is the main drug given to women who have not been through the menopause, and is usually taken for five years or longer after breast cancer treatment. And when combined with two cups coffee, it can be even more effective, according to a study of 1,090 breast cancer patients by British and Swedish researchers at Lund University, Sweden. Their findings found that women who had been treated with tamoxifen - and those that had drunk at least two cups of coffee a day - had only half the risk of their cancer returning than those who drank less coffee, or none at all. Ann Rosendahl, a researcher from Lund University who carried out the study, said: \u2018The study also shows that those who drank at least two cups of coffee a day had smaller tumours and a lower proportion of hormone-dependent tumours. \u2018We saw that this was already the case at the time of diagnosis.\u2019 The study also found that breast cancer cells react with caffeine and caffeic acid, which are both found in the hot drink. Caffeine caused the cells to divide less frequency - and die more often - especially when it was drunk in combination with tamoxifen. Mrs Rosendahl said: \u2018This shows that these substances have an effect on the breast cancer cells and turn off signalling pathways that the cancer cells require to grow.\u2019 Researches found caffeine causes breast cancer cells to divide less frequently and divide more often . Taking prescribed medicine is still vitally important to treating cancer, clinicians have stressed . Despite their findings, the study\u2019s researchers were keen to stress the importance of prescribed medication in treating cancer . \u2018They are incredibly important, but if you like coffee and are also taking tamoxifen, there is no reason to stop drinking it. Just two cups a day is sufficient to make a difference,\u2019 Mrs Rosendahl said. Previous studies have found that drinking coffee could reduce the risk of cancer in heavy drinkers. And the World Cancer Research Fund believe the hot drink can protect against liver cancer, which is often associated with alcohol abuse. Experts from the Harvard Medical School have also found that women who drink three or more cups of coffee a day have a 20 per cent lower risk of developing skin cancer, compared with those who had less than one a month .

This season, for the second time in three years, there were no English clubs in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, while none of our clubs have reached the last eight in the Europa League either. And with Italian and German clubs performing significantly better this season, England could slip from their current ranking of second to a lowly fourth by the end of next season. Chelsea look dejected as they exited the Champions League in the last 16 against PSG last month . Arsenal's Olivier Giroud punches the ground in frustration as his side suffered a defeat to Monaco . Germany will begin next season with a higher ranking than England, once 2010/11 points are discounted. If Juventus, Napoli and Fiorentina win all their remaining games possible, Italy will go into next season within 0.1 points of England. Even if Italian clubs fail to reach finals, a repeat of this season would see them overtake England in third place next season. Germany is guaranteed to move ahead of England at the end of this season, while if Italian clubs continue to perform well this season and English clubs fail to reverse their slump, the Premier League could end next season out of Europe's elite. That would see England reduced to three Champions League places for the 2017/18 season, with Serie A taking the extra place from the Premier League.

Coupled with Liverpool and Manchester City reaching the last 16 of the Europa League, that earned England a massive 18.357 points, which will be knocked off the total at the start of next season. Italy and Germany will lose a significantly smaller number of points (11.571 and 15.666 respectively) meaning that by the beginning of next season, England will have slumped to third, and be in danger of falling further.

Police alleged the 31-year-old mother from Belmont, near Newcastle in NSW, used a falsified doctor's certificate stating she had terminal cancer to raise about $2500 from her page. In February, Ms Edmunds told a Belmont Local Court she was put up to the act by her violent partner John Heagney, and did it because she feared for her life. Elizabeth 'Elle' Edmunds, 31, was issued a court notice this week for the offence of two counts of obtaining benefits by deception, after she faked having terminal cancer to raise money in 2014 . In October, a report was made to police regarding Ms Edmund's activities, and detectives from the Lake Macquarie Local Area Command soon after launched an investigation. She was issued a court notice this week for the offence of two counts of obtaining benefits by deception, and will appear at Belmont Local Court in June. Police inquiries into the matter are continuing and investigators are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Heagney claims Ms Edmunds faked the violence and was a self-harmer who punched herself, and that the two dates on which the alleged violence took place, October 20 and November 17 last year, related to the faking of the cancer. In April last year, Ms Edmunds sat her family down and told them she had cancer and doctors had given her just three years to live. She went to great lengths to present herself as a terminal cancer patient, shaving her head and faking hospital visits for chemotherapy treatment. Strangers set up a Facebook page and online crowd-funding account to raise money for her \u2013 but the ruse was exposed in November when Heaghney posted a status update that Ms Edmunds was not sick at all. Ms Edmunds\u2019 stepdaughter, Kyala, 19, even got a tattoo on her chest in dedication of her stepmother when she thought she was dying of cancer. The tattoo read: 'Where there is love there is hope ... Elle'.

Researchers found that during recovery periods between periods of exercise, it didn\u2019t matter what food was eaten. Performance remained the same after resting for several hours, while levels of glycogen - used by muscles as \u2018fuel\u2019 - were actually slightly higher after fast food was eaten as a recovery food. Research led by the University of Montana has found that eating fast food (stock image shown) after a workout may be just as beneficial as dietary supplements. Researchers found that during recovery periods between periods of exercise, it didn\u2019t matter what food was eaten . The research, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, was led by University of Montana graduate student Michael Cramer. In the study, 11 male athletes were asked to fast for 12 hours, before a 90-minute endurance workout. After this, half were fed hot cakes, hash browns and orange juice, followed by a burger, fries and a Coke two hours later. If you fancy a burger, then sprint to the fast-food joint to get it. Short bursts of intensive exercise before a high-fat meal can help protect blood vessels from the effects of a poor diet, researchers have found. Just eight minutes of high-intensity cycling was found to be more beneficial than going at a moderate pace for 25 minutes - the current recommended level.

Lady Sasima Srivikorn is in her 70s with an endearing laugh and a royal blue scarf she has knitted especially for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal at Wembley. Like 73-year-old Madejski, Lady Sasima is something of an eccentric. Educated at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama in the 1950s, she has been a singer and composer who wrote the theme song for the Asian Games. 'It was called Reach For The Stars,' she says proudly before talking enthusiastically about her involvement with the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra and her autobiography, A Life By Chance. Reading co-owners Lady Sasima Srivikorn and Sir John Madejski spoke to Sportsmail's Matt Lawton . The Championship club will swap the Madejski Stadium for Wembley on Saturday in the FA Cup semi-final . But then she offers a chilling insight into what it is to be one of Thailand's most powerful women, a super-rich Harvard Business School graduate who became the first female on the Thai Airways board. Madejski listens intently as the woman he credits with rescuing Reading last September talks about the night in 2014 when three men armed with M16 automatic weapons fired on her house in north-east Thailand. She believes the incident was provoked by the political activities of her daughter and son-in-law. The previous day they had instigated a peaceful public demonstration after seeing the former wife of Thaksin Shinawatra \u2014 ex-Thai prime minister and one-time owner of Manchester City \u2014 in a Bangkok shopping mall. Shinawatra was removed from power in 2006 in a military coup after allegations of corruption. Jamie Mackie celebrates after scoring Reading's third goal against Bradford to secure their victory . Reading beat Bradford 3-0 in a quarter-final reply at the Madejski to secure their Wembley semi-final . Lady Sasima says her daughter was still angry about the corruption, explaining: 'The next day I am with friends at my house. We had been playing cards until about 2am. We had just gone to bed. And I had 100 bullets from an M16 shot at my house. 'They didn't mean to kill. They just wanted to scare, to threaten, but bullets hit my bathroom. The windows in my bedroom.' Presumably she now goes everywhere under armed guard? 'No,' she says. 'There's no use having security. If someone really wants to kill me, they can kill me any time. It's funny, when I realised it was a machine gun I thought it was the moment when I was about to die but I was very calm, not frightened at all.' 'This is one hell of a wise lady \u2014 and very modest too,' says Madejski admiringly. When I first saw Lady Sasima at the hotel at the Madejski Stadium, she was seated at the head of a table having breakfast with five Thai gentlemen. One was Pairoj Piempongsant, who brokered the deal when Shinawatra bought City in 2007 and is now senior adviser", "summary": "Lady Sasima Srivikorn and Sir John Madejski are co-owners of Reading .

Kevin Spacey has reportedly paid have his his '.sucks' domain taken down. Kevin Spacey is reportedly among celebrities paying out to have their name removed from one of the '.sucks' domains which opened on 30 March . Taylor Swift has also had to spend defensively in the past to remove her name from '.porn' and '.adult' domains attacking her, CNBC reported. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or 'ICANN,' sent a letter on Thursday to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Canada's Office of Consumer Affairs to see if the actions of company Vox Populi Registry Ltd. were illegal. ICANN initially approved of the so-called top-level domain name, among nearly 600 it has added recently to expand beyond common names such as '.com,' '.org' and '.us.' But it is backtracking after an advisory panel made up of industry groups and companies like Microsoft, Verizon and eBay complained last month. Vox Populi began accepting registrations using '.sucks' on March 30 from trademark holders and celebrities before it is released to public applicants. Taylor Swift has also had to spend defensively in the past to remove her name from '.porn' and '.adult' domains . It has recommended charging $2,499 a year for the privilege, and according to Vox Populi CEO John Berard, most of the names have been sold by resellers for around $2,000 a year. Berard has said the domain name is meant to create destinations for companies to interact with their critics and called his company's business 'well within the lines of ICANN rules and the law.' Two weeks ago, the advisory body called the Intellectual Property Constituency representing major companies and industry groups asked ICANN in a letter to halt the rollout of '.sucks,' calling it a 'shakedown scheme' and 'predatory.' Companies like GoDaddy.com register some domain names for just $1 a year, and Vox Populi will offer consumers the right to secure a '.sucks' address for just $10 a year starting in September. The advisory body says that the threat of opening a '.sucks' site to the average consumer later is 'an essential element of Vox Populi's coercive scheme.' ICANN said in its letter that if Canadian or U.S. regulators find Vox Populi's actions are illegal, it could declare the company in breach of its contract and seek to change the registry's behavior. It said it is also seeking other remedies within its agreement with the company.

The boys who have been named as 17-year-olds Hassan Munshi and Talha Asmal are believed to have traveled to the embattled country after heading to Turkey on March 31. Hassan is supposedly related to Hammaad Munshi, who was arrested by counter-terrorism police at the age of 15 back in 2006. He was later convicted over his role in a brutal plan to murder non-Muslims,The Times reported. A statement released on behalf of the two families said: 'Both families are devastated by the events of the last few days and in particular, we are extremely concerned about the safety and well-being of our loved ones. 'Our number one priority is to get Hassan and Talha back home with their families and we implore anyone who may have any information whatsoever to get in contact with the police. 'Naturally, we are in a state of profound shock and are trying to come to terms with the predicament we find ourselves in and we hope and pray that no other family finds itself in our situation.' The pair from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, have not been in contact with their families for several days and cannot be reached on their mobile phones. Hassan's alleged relative Hammaad was only 15-years-old when he joined a terrifying Islamic State faction who were targeting the Royal Family. Hammaad was arrested on his way home from a chemistry exam in 2006 and found with two bags of ball-bearings - key material for a suicide vest. He was locked up for two years under the Terrorism Act in 2008. The statement added: 'These were just two ordinary Yorkshire lads who enjoyed the things that all young people enjoy at their age. 'Both Hassan and Talha had a promising future as an apprentice and an A-level student respectively, and we are praying they will be back with us soon and are able to realise that future.

'I know Ukip are not going to like hearing that, but if they\u2019re honest they would say the same things as well because they\u2019re not going to get enough seats to wield any power. 'I think they\u2019ll get four or five seats, maybe.' She praised Ukip leader Nigel Farage, adding: 'You can\u2019t knock him.' But she warned how other candidates have given the party a bad image.

'But it would be nice to hear political parties speak up on civil rights and gender issues.' Mr Farage last night dismissed the criticism. He told Sky News: 'There is a fear about Labour and the SNP and that\u2019s why I\u2019m talking to you from Hartlepool because whats happened over the last couple of weeks is there is a strengthening in the Ukip polls and its all coming from Labour. 'So the way to stop Labour/SNP coalition is for Labour voters to switch and vote for Ukip.' When Miss Maloney was standing to London Mayor, she caused controversy by claiming there were 'too many gays' in Camden. She apologised for the homophobic remarks when she addressed Ukip's spring conference in February this year. The criticism is a blow for Ukip leader Nigel Farage who had hoped that Miss Maloney's backing would help to change the image of the party .

I\u2019m always listening to music. That\u2019s the way I kind of settle myself.' Initiative: Lets Move! is an anti-childhood obesity campaign that Michelle first launched in 2010 .

Jihad-watchers noticed thousands of accounts vanishing from the social network last week, most of them claiming to be linked to the extremists currently terrorising vast swathes of the Middle East. Now, after questions were asked about what led to the largest ever one-off cull of ISIS-affiliated accounts, Twitter has confirmed that its purge was prompted because they were being used by tech-savvy jihadis to issue threats of violence. Online savvy: Jihad-watchers noticed thousands of accounts vanishing from the social network last week, most of them claiming to be linked to the extremists currently terrorising vast swathes of the Middle East . Twitter does not publish data related to the accounts it suspends, but NDTV Gadgets reported that the social network's so-called 'violations department' suspended approximately 10,000 accounts used by ISIS militants or supporters of the terror group on April 2. Speaking on condition of anonymity amid fears for his safety, the representative said the cull was prompted in part by the 'large number of reports' received by online activists and members of the public. Without doubt this is a reference to the 'Operation Anti-ISIS' campaign launched by the online 'hacktavist' collective Anonymous, who encouraged members to find and expose thousands of accounts connected with ISIS and report them to Twitter authorities en masse. While the social network says it remains committed to the platform being used as a symbol of free speech, it says it will not tolerate accounts tweeting sickening messages promoting violence. ISIS - the largest and wealthiest terrorist organisation in history - has long used social media to groom and enlist new recruits, spread sickening propaganda, and glorify rape and massacre. Sick: Twitter's so-called 'violations department' suspended approximately 10,000 accounts used by the ISIS militants themselves (pictured) or by supporters of the terror group, on April 2 . Last month it was revealed that web-savvy militants fighting for ISIS could control as many as 90,000 Twitter accounts worldwide, allowing them to spread their sickening propaganda with ease. The terror group is able to 'exert an outsized impact on how the world perceives it' because of its shrewd use of social media and sheer number of online followers, terror experts have concluded. Recommendations in the report by the Washington-based Brookings Institute report include governments and social media companies working together to find new ways to tackle the problem of pro-ISIS accounts spreading horrific murder videos and images and jihadist rhetoric. While Twitter has had success in suspending the accounts, they are effectively playing an exasperating game of whack-a-mole as banned users almost-immediately set up another account.

The exact amount of compensation is yet to be decided - but is set to be around 50 per cent of what the family had requested and thought to be 'hundreds of thousands of pounds'. Speaking on behalf of the family, lawyer James Davies said: 'This was a terrible incident in which Kristopher suffered a very severe brain injury leaving him needing care for the rest of his life. 'The latest judgement agrees that Kristopher is entitled to a settlement to provide specialist rehabilitation and care which will help maximise his progress.'

'You can't just stop people playing rugby. People who play the game understand that there are inherent dangers.

Mick Tabone, 74, who previously owned and ran Johnstone River Crocodile Farm and zoo in far-north Queensland first came across the 5.2 metre croc in 1989. For 20 years the farmer would sit on the enormous creature's back while he chatted to him, and never once felt as though he was in danger. Rangers had already been trying to capture Gregory, who had apparently been killing cattle in Eubenangee Swamp near Mirriwinni, 70 kilometres south of Cairns for years, when they asked for Mr Tabone's help. Mick Tabone and Gregory the crocodile shared a strong bond during their 20 year long friendship . 'He was on the run for a couple of years, he had been a naughty boy and was taking cows,' Mr Tabone told Daily Mail Australia. 'The cattle used to come down there and have a drink and Gregory used to grab them by the nose and drown them,' he said. Mr Tabone then spent the next six months setting up traps for the huge creature, in a last bid to save him after a warrant had been issued to kill the croc. 'They had a trap for a couple of years but he just didn't go in, and after a certain amount of time, you know, there's a limit to the amount of time you can spend on this,' he said. 'They (National Parks) issued a warrant to the farmer to shoot him.' The farmer who owned the property where Gregory was snatching cattle called in the help of Mr Tabone and, helped by some 'freak weather', they were finally able catch the reptile. A heavy rainfall meant the trap which had been set up had moved and turtles had gone in after the bait, which Gregory then followed. Gregory was captured my Mr Tabone in 1989 after he was found stealing a local farmer's cattle . 'Three weeks later, water was down to about ankle-deep and I looked hard in the murky water and I said there's this great big massive animal in there,' Mr Tabone revealed. 'I said I've done the most horrible thing of my life, I've killed this big animal.' However upon closer inspection it appeared Gregory was alive and well, and had been keeping himself alive by coming up for air every few hours. 'Because of his size he was able to push the trap up to get a breath of air and then go back down for three to four hours,' the croc farmer said. After a huge operation which involved 16 men carrying Gregory onto the back of a truck and taking him back to Mr Tabone's farm, the creature was finally settled into what would be his home for the next two decades. The farmer describes the reptile that was his best friend as a 'funny animal', and said Gregory and him shared a special bond.

For a woman aged 85, the expected span was six years and 42 weeks \u2013 two and a half months less. The study also found that increasing life expectancy for men in their sixties and seventies had stalled, and had fallen for those in their eighties and nineties. If the change becomes a trend, it could mark the end of an expectation by baby boomers that they will continue to live longer and longer. Life expectancy for English women is already among the worst in Western Europe. The findings will add to fears that the rising consumption of alcohol and unhealthy food is taking a terrible toll. Poor standards in many care homes and reduced home help could also prompt early deaths, experts say. The deterioration follows three decades in which annual average life expectancy has increased by 1.2 per cent for men aged 65 and 0.7 per cent for women. The study by Public Health England said it was too early to say whether the change was a long-term one.

He also suggested the falls could reflect cutbacks in social care, which he said had been \u2018hammered\u2019 in recent years. Recent governments had failed to invest in care for an ageing population, Professor Ashton said, leaving insufficient help for the frail and vulnerable. He added: \u2018There has been a failure of successive governments in that we should have seen that trends were changing, that more people would be living longer and we needed to put services in place to look after them. \u2018We are letting down a generation which came back from the war and built the welfare state.\u2019 By 2013, the average 75-year-old woman could expect to live another 13 years and five weeks \u2013 five weeks less than in 2011, a Government report shows .

The seal cull even takes place during the animals' breeding season - meaning that some cubs are being left to fend for themselves when their mothers are shot dead. Farmers say the seal killings are essential to stop the animals from destroying fish stocks off the coast of Scotland and northern England, but campaigners insist there are more humane methods of protecting fish. Warning: graphic images . Killed: This picture shows two seals shot in Crovie, north-east Scotland in an attempt to protect fish stocks . Shot: A seal killed near Blackpool; it is legal to cull seals without a licence in England . The practice of seal clubbing in Canada has long been regarded with revulsion around the world - but many Britons may be unaware that the animals are also being killed in the UK. Supporters of the practice claim that seals threaten farmed salmon, wild fish around the coasts and fish which are kept for sporting purposes. Figures from the Scottish government show that 205 seals were legally killed in Scottish waters last year by farmers, fishermen and angling firms. Some campaigners suggest that the real number of dead seals is much higher, as the official figure only includes those which were recorded to the authorities by people who had previously obtained licences. Fishermen have been given licences to kill more than 800 seals this year, although typically marksmen kill only around a quarter of the seals which can legally be culled.

Activists have called on consumers to more careful about buying Scottish salmon in supermarkets and fishmongers, encouraging them to investigate the origins of their fish. 'People who are horrified by what's happening in places like Norway and Scotland don't realise this is happening on their own doorstep,' said Andy Ottaway of the Seal Protection Action Group. 'The shooting tends to go on in remote locations, so it's not something most people tend to come across. Unlike in some countries, seals are not hunted in the UK for their skin, fur or meat. However, fishermen and farmer are allowed to kill seals which they believe are threatening fish stocks. In Scotland, they must get a licence which restricts the number of animals they can legally kill. But in the rest of Britain, there are no legal restrictions on culling seals, meaning people are free to do as they please.

The Chipworks site has posted this amazing image revealing the internals of the firm's Galaxy S6, which goes on sale on April 10th.

Samsung is counting on its new flagship Galaxy S6 and S6 edge phones to help revive earnings momentum after a disappointing 2014. Strong sales of system chips such as its Exynos processor could also help boost earnings, analysts and investors say. The Galaxy S6 also comes with Samsung's Shannon modem chip, U.S. phone carrierAT&T said on its website. 'It's pretty clear if they're using Shannon for the modem for AT&T that they're trying to use all-Samsung silicon,' said Jim McGregor, an analyst at Tirias Research. 'With their market share going down they're under pressure to increase profit margins.' The findings suggest a deeper loss of business for Qualcomm in the new generation of Samsung's flagship handsets than anticipated previously.

One in four youngsters think pocket and Y-bone are cuts of beef, whereas only a mere 3 per cent of over 55s fell for the fake cuts. In addition, this age bracket correctly identified shin (78 per cent) and skirt (72 per cent) as cuts of beef widely available across the UK but for the younger folk, those figures more than halved.

Perfect fit: The activists hoisted the bust to the top of a Revolutionary War memorial . The activists hoisted the unsanctioned bust to the top of a Revolutionary War memorial and secured it with an adhesive material, adding his name to a column, according to Animal New York. The website says the group allowed it to document installation of the statue on the condition that it not reveal the identities of the artists. Snowden's artistic appearance was short-lived. At daybreak, police said city parks officials ordered the sculpted Snowden removed from the top of Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, which honors the 11,500 patriots who died aboard British prison ships during the Revolutionary War. And by evening, his bust was being held at Brooklyn's 88th Precinct pending an investigation. The idea for the tribute was conceived by two New York City-based artists, joined by a West Coast sculptor, Animal New York said. In a statement to the online outlet, they said they had 'updated' the memorial to American POWs who died during the war for independence 'to highlight those who sacrifice their safety in the fight against modern-day tyrannies. 'It would be a dishonor to those memorialized here to not laud those who protect the ideals they fought for, as Edward Snowden has by bringing the NSA's 4th-Amendment-violating surveillance programs to light. From Russia with love: The statue appeared just hours after HBO aired comedian John Oliver's interview with Snowden on his weekly show Last Week Tonight (pictured) Cover-up: By noon, employees of the New York City Parks Department arrived on the scene and covered the unsanctioned artwork with a blue tarp .

Former Hearts star Templeton claimed last week that McCall had introduced a brand of coaching and tactical preparation which had been lacking under the previous management. But McCall, who is busy transforming the club on the pitch after three successive wins in the Championship, was less than impressed by the player's comments and hinted that they may have been motivated by the player's lack of game time under McCoist and McDowall. Rangers winger David Templeton spoke out about his former managers Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowall . 'David made an error,' said the ex-Rangers midfielder. 'He was out of the frame a wee bit under Kenny and Ally. 'But he knows we are not here to criticise what went on before, because the players were part of that. All we are concentrating on is the here and now.' McCall also had words of warning for skipper Lee McCulloch, claiming his red card against Hearts could cost him his place in the Ibrox line-up. The defender has been given a two-match ban - starting with Queen of the South at Palmerston on Thursday - after being sent off on Sunday. The Light Blues captain put his elbow into the face of Jambos striker Osman Sow as the pair jumped for a high ball. McCall, whose team clung on for a vital 2-1 win after playing 50 minutes a man down, had been happy with McCulloch's displays until that point. But the interim Rangers manager has now warned the former Scotland cap he is not 'undroppable'. He said: 'Lee made a poor decision. I understand why he did it but it was a blatant red card. He led with his elbow and it was wrong - but he knows he was wrong. 'He has got to take his punishment and move on now. He has got a two-game ban - whether he gets back in the team thereafter we will see. Lee McCulloch has been warned he could lose his place in the starting XI after being sent off against Hearts . 'Since I've been at the club he has done fine. He's been good in the dressing room and his performances have been good.

Off the field, Dave King now hopes to get the SFA's blessing to take over as chairman after judges at the Court of Session approved his boardroom bid.

While it sounds like science fiction, these planets may offer scientists a new avenue in their search for alien life. The warmth of a sun has long been thought to be a key ingredient to life. But astronomers say 'rogue', sun-less planets that wander the stars could still harbour extra-terrestrials . This is according to Sean Raymond, an astrophysicist with the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Bordeaux in France, who has taken a look at how life can form on rogue planets. Writing in Aeon, he says: 'To have any chance of life \u2013 at least life like our own \u2013 a free-floating Earth would need liquid water.' A planet needs to keep warm for liquid water to form, and without the sun, this heat would have to come from its interior. 'A layer of ice on a planet's surface can act as a strong insulator, locking in a planet's heat,' claims Raymond. Globulettes - regions of dust and gas that can form planets - could make rogue more common than first thought. Rogue planets are of particular interest to astronomers because they represent objects that have likely failed to form into a star . PSO J318.5-22 was detected 80 light years away from Earth and it is estimated to have a mass six times that of Jupiter . Several years ago, an international team of astronomers discovered a large planet floating freely through space with no star to orbit. Planets traditionally travel in a uniform, singular direction, around a star. However, the free-floating planet, named PSO J318.5-22, was found without a host. Its movement isn't structured, and scientists do not understand how it formed and they are baffled by what - if anything - controls it. PSO J318.5-22 was detected 80 light years away from Earth and it is estimated to have a mass six times that of Jupiter. Astronomers believe it formed 12 million years ago, and is considered a newborn in planetary terms - Earth is thought to be around 4.5 billion years old. Dr Michael Liu of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii identified the rogue planet from its 'faint and unique heat signature'. We have never before seen an object free-floating in space that that looks like this. 'It has all the characteristics of young planets found around other stars, but it is drifting out there all alone,' explained Liu. 'If the ice layer is thick enough, then a planet can maintain an ocean of liquid water beneath the ice.' He calculates that the ice layer needs to be at least 10 km (6 miles) thick to prevent it from freezing for billions of years. Raymonds comments echo a similar conclusion reached by scientists in Chicago several years ago. They calculated that life can cling on to a planet for billions of years without a star to provide a direct source of warmth. Research by astrophysicists", "summary": "Comments were made by Sean Raymond, an astrophysicist in France . He says internal heat of rogue planets could allow liquid water to form .

But the lawyer also argued that Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan, masterminded the attack and enlisted his then-19-year-old brother to help. On April 19, 2013, Tsarnaev was found hiding in a boat and had written notes inside suggesting the bombing was an act of retribution for U.S. military campaigns in Muslim-dominated countries . Prosecutors portrayed the brothers as full partners in a plan to retaliate against the US for its wars in Muslim countries. The court will likely meet early next week to resume the penalty phase.

He added: 'I've had to endure a lot of suffering too. I had severe heatstroke in India and have twice been hit by cars.

Sevdet Besim, from Hallam in Melbourne's south-east, was charged with 'conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts' at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday afternoon . Multiple photos of Mr Besim on his social media pages show him posing with one raised index finger, a symbol that other ISIS supporters have also frequently used . He is one of two 18-year-old men police arrested for allegedly planning an 'ISIS inspired' attack on an Anzac Day ceremony. The duo were 'associates' of Abdul Numan Haider (pictured) Haider was killed by police last year after he attacked officers with a knife, and is believed to have planned an ISIS-like attack. The two alleged ringleaders of the Anzac Day plot reportedly attended Haider's funeral. The information comes after police held one of the alleged ringleaders in jail under tough new terror laws, despite not being charged. The man, who cannot be identified due to suppression orders, could be held 14 days after police applied for a Preventive Detention Order.

Police are exploring the role played in the plot by Neil Prakash, 23, who is considered to be the top Australian recruiter for ISIS, according to Fairfax Media. Prakash, who is know by the jihadist name Abu Khalid al-Kambodi, may have been in direct communication with the teenagers until recently.

Details emerged in a report broadcast last night by ITV News, which has seen copies of the Civil Aviation Authority\u2019s safety reports from December 2014 to March 2015. These reveal 167 cases of fumes or smoke in the cabin, not attributable to faulty ovens, coffee brewers or toilets. In February a coroner warned that airlines must take action to prevent passenger deaths from toxic fumes inside aircraft cabins. Dorset coroner Sheriff Payne said pressurised air tainted with jet fuel is risking the lives of everyone travelling on planes. He issued the warning after initial investigations into the death of British Airways pilot Richard Westgate in 2012. The 43-year-old, from Marlborough, Wiltshire, had suffered years of persistent headaches, nausea and chronic fatigue, which he long suspected was caused by toxic fumes in cockpits. Mr Payne\u2019s warning came days after the Daily Mail revealed how the poisoning fears over air in holiday planes had sparked accusations that airlines had been ignoring safety concerns for 15 years.

And it's not just Brits that are starting to make excited estimations, the frenzy has reached America where there are more than a few guesses about royal baby particulars. International research firm, YouGov, has conducted a poll asking the UK and the US their opinions on the second child, and it turns out, views are not too different. Scroll down for video . William and Kate are currently prepping for the birth of the second royal baby, which has spurred guesses on the sex and name . Questioning 1713 Brits and 1124 Americans, the survey revealed that after the excitement of a baby boy in blue in 2013, this time around, both desire a baby girl.

In the UK, Charlotte, Alice and Alexandra are the leading names, with Charlotte scooping the lead with 13 per cent.

The drastic developments come as the United Nations reports at least 15 people with albinism, mostly children, have been killed, wounded, abducted or kidnapped in East Africa in the past six months. Body parts of those with albinism are prized in black magic and witchcraft, as it is believed spells based on their body parts will bring luck, love and wealth.

'Shoot every criminal who is violent when caught red-handed abducting people with albinism,' said Kachama, adding that he was ordering police to use weapons in proportion to the crime. 'We cannot just watch while our friends with albinism are being killed like animals every day. 'We do realize that these people are ruthless, have no mercy and therefore they need to be treated just like that.'

Concerned friend Grant Donovan made the 'horrific' discovery of her remains after nobody answered the front door at her home.

Scroll down for video . Nazi camp: Yaphank, Long Island was once home to a camp for Nazis where like-minded individuals could drink beer and learn about eugenics . Camp Siegfried was founded by the American Nazi group, the German American Bund. The group set up pro-Nazi camps where they could put on military demonstrations, teach their children about fascism and enjoy the outdoors . Today, Yaphank is still a town on Long Island. Missing now, though, are the homes with swastikas built into the brick work and hedges, pro-Hitler parades and, of course, the Nazi camp. That camp was founded in 1935 by Friends of New Germany, writes Dangerousminds.net. That group went on to become the German American Bund. The Bund in Yaphank, as it did in similar communities in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New Jersey, organized military demonstrations where they waved both the American and Nazi flags. In an article published in the Long Island History Journal, Stony Brook University historian Ryan Shaffer describes a typical day at Camp Siegfried thusly: . 'Locals from Yaphank, Jamesport, Aquebogue, and Riverhead visited the camp to drink beer, join in the festive atmosphere walking or driving down Hitler Street to salute American and Nazi flags.' Shaffer writes that 'support for Nazi Germany in the United States was a unique blend of German and American ideology rather than just a foreign import.' However, members had to be Aryan and were united in their belief that those with German blood would lead America into a 'new era.' Adolf Hitler Street: Yaphank once had streets named Adolf Hitler, Goebbels and Goering as well as Berliner and Hamberger. Most of the names have since been changed, but the county still retains the original maps . Swastika hedge: Gone now, too, are the swastikas that once adorned the lawns and buildings of the camp and town . 'Locals from Yaphank, Jamesport, Aquebogue, and Riverhead visited the camp to drink beer, join in the festive atmosphere walking or driving down Hitler Street to salute American and Nazi flags,' notes Stony Brook University historian Ryan Shaffer . In the years leading to America joining the Allies, the FBI and New York police started to keep an eye on the Bund in Yaphank. Photos that only recently became available were mainly taken by New York police and can be viewed here. The FBI once noted that Yaphank contained 150 to 300 children who 'used to wear a uniform like that of the Hitler Youth", "summary": "Yaphank in Long Island was founded in part by the German American Bund, a pro Nazi group that flourished in the 1930s . They established Camp Siegfried in 1935 as a place for like-minded Aryans to drink beer, hold military demonstrations and learn about eugenics . Yaphank remains a town in Long Island, but gone are the roads once called Adolf Hitler Street, Goebbels and Goering ."}

The two sets of maps, compiled by cartographer Trent Hare, include image mosaics and topographical views of the lunar landscape taken over a period of four years. The grey and white areas reveal higher peaks, while darker blues show deep craters. To the left of these craters, is Oceanus Procellarum, which is Latin for 'Ocean of Storms'. The two sets of maps include image mosaics (right) and topographical views (right) of the lunar landscape. Darker blue show deep craters, while the grey and white areas reveal areas of elevation . Early theories claimed this mysterious region, roughly 1,600 miles (2,600km) across, was created by an asteroid impact. Last year, however, Nasa scientists proposed that the Ocean of Storms was in fact the result of the formation of ancient rift valleys. The feature is located on the surface of the moon's near side which is characterised by low elevations and numerous ancient volcanic plains. Scientists believe the rifts are buried beneath dark volcanic plains in this area, and so far, they have only been detected in the gravity data provided by the Grail probes. The map also shows Mare Orientale, an impact crater that was partially flooded by basalts. Shaped like a target ring bull's-eye, the Mare Orientale is one of the most striking large scale lunar features. Found on the moon's extreme western edge, it is difficult to see from an earthbound perspective . Pictured on the left is the moon's south pole, and on the right, the north pole. To create the maps, more than 6.5 billion measurements were collected between 2009 and 2013 by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Wide Angle Camera (Wac) and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter . Nasa's ultimate goal at the moment is to land humans on Mars by the 2030s. Exactly how to get there is up for debate, with the agency favouring a mission to an asteroid in the next decade, followed by a giant leap to the red planet the decade after. But one expert has claimed that Nasa is actually planning to go back to the moon first, as a waypoint to reaching its final goal. Writing for My San Antonio, science reporter Eric Berger explained how President Obama had, in 2010, outlined Nasa's goals for the forthcoming decades. 'I just have to say pretty bluntly here, we've been there before,' the President said in a speech at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at the time. The goal instead was to visit an asteroid in the 2020s, and then send a crew to Mars in the 2030s - with no mission to another destination in between. Recently, Nasa revealed how they plan to do the asteroid mission - by picking up a boulder from a larger asteroid, placing it in lunar orbit, and having astronauts go and visit. But Mr Berger says that Nasa has been 'quietly' considering going back to the moon before going to Mars.

'At the high level, media rooms are a valuable use of space and are expected, particularly in homes priced above \u00a310 million.

Researchers found women judged to have pretty faces also have voices regarded by men as appealing. \u2018People can make quite reliable guesses about women\u2019s facial attractiveness on the basis of their voices,\u2019 said study co-author Markus Koppensteiner, an anthropologist from the University of Vienna. He added: \u2018Attractive voices may create an idea about what a woman will look like.\u2019 Researchers photographed the faces and recorded the voices of 42 women with an average age of 24. They then asked a group of men \u2013 with an average age of mid 20s \u2013 to rate the women\u2019s voices on attractiveness and another group of similar age to judge the attractiveness of their faces. Those rated highly for looks often scored well for sound too, with the study finding a \u2018significant relationship between males\u2019 ratings of female faces and voices. Findings suggest that women with an attractive face also tend to have an attractive voice\u2019.

In the English version of Torres\u2019s biography, the exchanges between Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo in the dressing room at Real Madrid start on page 138 and finish five pages later. Here is an abridged version of the alleged events in the team meeting before the second leg of the 2011 Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, when Ronaldo had made it clear he expected Los Blancos to be more adventurous in the Bernabeu. Jose Mourinho makes a point to Oscar and his Brazilian team-mate Willian during a game at Stamford Bridge . Mourinho has been called out by players for being too defensive before, by Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid . Oscar holds his head in his hands after missing a good chance at Stoke, where he was replaced at half time . Oscar hasn't completed a full 90 minutes for Chelsea since mid-January.

But do you know why we play this way? For you. \u2018Because, as you don\u2019t want to defend or cover the wings, I have to have the team sitting deep... when you come on, you do your own thing.\u2019 That meeting, held in the presence of the great Zinedine Zidane, apparently lasted 40 minutes. Real Madrid drew the second leg 1-1 and Barcelona progressed to the final, where they beat Manchester United 3-1 at Wembley. Team meetings are a theme of Mourinho\u2019s management, giving his players the floor during the fallow periods that inevitably occur during the course of a long season. It is a pragmatic approach, one to be admired, unless you happen to be one of the players who challenges Mourinho\u2019s coaching philosophy.

SkyWest Airlines flight 5622 was flying from Chicago to Connecticut when the pilot was alerted to a potential loss of cabin pressure. As an increasing number of passengers began to complain of dizzyness, and three lost consciousness, the pilot plunged the aircraft into a terrifying dive to drop 30,000 feet in just eight minutes - before landing in Buffalo, New York. But despite the calamitous events, an investigation has discovered nothing unusual about the mechanics of the plane. Scroll down for video . Emergency responders came onboard SkyWest Flight 5622 after it made an emergency landing in Buffalo, New York, on Wednesday following a reported loss of cabin pressure . Mary Cunningham, a nurse, who was on board the flight assisted one passenger who passed out, getting her oxygen. She said that the plane did not land because of just one person's medical emergency as a lot of people on board began to feel dizzy and unwell . Passenger Frank Angelo said he immediately feared for the safety of his wife and kids as the plane 'nosedived' 30,000 feet in just eight minutes . 'You could feel something in the air, something just wasn't right,' recalled one passenger before the plane plunged miles in mere minutes. Passenger Larry Johnson, right, said: 'A lot of people with their heads down praying. It just felt like a re-enactment' While federal safety officials had no explanation for what happened on the aircraft on Wednesday, aviation experts said the flight crew did the right thing by quickly descending to an altitude with life-giving oxygen levels. The situation arose about an hour after take-off, when three passengers on the Embraer 175 twin-jet from Chicago to Connecticut lost consciousness and others began feeling dizzy and sick. Emergency nurse, Mary Cunningham, said she helped treat an unconscious passenger when another passed out beside her and others nearby started feeling faint. 'The flight attendant and myself started not feeling very well while we were in the middle of the flight helping out. I had to sit down. I was short-of-breath, light-headed [and] didn't feel great,' said Cunningham to NBC Connecticut. Initially, reports came in that a cabin door had opened during the flight, leading to dramatic loss in cabin pressure. When the plane landed at 11.40am, the FAA issued a statement saying the crew 'reported a pressurization problem and declared an emergency', shortly before landing in Buffalo. However, in a second statement the FAA put out on Wednesday afternoon, there was no mention of a 'pressurization' issue. When contacted by the LA Times to explain this, a spokesperson for the FAA would not say why the change was made.

Duli Hembrom wrote to the principal of Milan Mithi Uchha Vidyalaya after failing to convince her parents to call off the wedding, which is due to take place in two days. She wrote: 'I do not want to get married, I took an oath at the time of admission that I will not get married before I turn 18.' She added that she wanted the teacher to stop the marriage 'whichever way possible', the India Times reported. It is thought the 'oath' Duli refers to is the school's promise she had to make when she started, but exactly what it included is not known. Her father Lachhu, who lives in Gudibanda with Duli's mother, said child marriage was a common phenomenon in their society. He told the Hindustan Times that it was difficult to find a suitable match for a grown-up girl. The Child Marriage Restraint Act, passed in India during British rule in 1929, specified that a girl must be 18 and a boy 21 before they can wed. But the country has the second highest number of child marriages, according to a UN report. Nearly 52 per cent of girls are married before reaching 18 years old, Indian records show. Between 2011 and 2020 more than 140 million girls will become child brides globally, analysts estimate.

Despite numerous campaigns from many of the world's largest charities and NGOs, the issue of child brides remains a global concern. In 2013 there were around 57.5 million child brides across the world, 40 per cent of which married in India. This is despite the Child Marriage Restraint Act, passed during British rule in 1929, specifying that a girl must be 18 and a boy 21 before they can wed. Meanwhile, in Africa, 42 per cent of girls were married before turning 18 compared to 29 per cent in Latin America and the Caribbean. The number of child brides is estimated to rise to 140 million by 2020 if current trends continue, 18.5 million of which will be under 15 years old, analysts warn. Statistics show that girls living in poor households are almost twice as likely to marry before 18 than girls in higher income households.

Alliss, 84, has said that legislation designed to stop golf clubs from discriminating against female members has instead prompted a decline in women\u2019s 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 \u2013 and pay the same membership rates as men. Mr Alliss, a former professional who is one of the game\u2019s most decorated players, claimed that tens of thousands of members of the Ladies\u2019 Golf Union have deserted the organisation since the rules came into force. \u2018I\u2019m told the Ladies\u2019 Golf Union has lost 150,000 members since equality for women came in,\u2019 Mr Alliss told the Radio Times. \u2018Hundreds of women have left golf clubs because they\u2019ve gone from paying half fare to full fare. It\u2019s caused mayhem.\u2019 He added: \u2018Equality 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.\u2019 But Sam Burton, finance director at the Ladies\u2019 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: \u2018It\u2019s not good that ladies golf is declining and we have to look at it, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s 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.\u2019 Rant: He added: \u2018Equality 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.\u2019 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 \u2018have been marketed more successfully at women\u2019. She added: \u2018In 2015 we have to encourage equality and I certainly wouldn\u2019t be a member at a club where I was treated differently just because I was a woman. \u2018I think a lot of ladies would feel the same in this day and age.\u2019 However, Tory MP Philip Davies said he agreed with Mr Alliss, adding: \u2018This is the consequence of all the legislation.

If they want full equality then they are going to have to pay the same price as everybody else. \u2018I don\u2019t suppose [Mr Alliss\u2019s] view is outdated.

The particular Jay belongs to the Crow/Corvidae family. \u2018Some birds may use them to impress a mate or their peers within their flock,\u2019 he added. \u2018Most birds using mimicry are highly social species, with a complex vocal repertoire, which includes innate calls and learnt calls.

He explains: 'You start by training and pruning young tree branches as they grow over specially made formers. 'At certain points we then graft them together so that the object grows in to one solid piece - I\u2019m interested in the way this is like a kind of organic 3D printing that uses air, soil and sunshine as its source material. 'After it's grown into the shape we want, we continue to care and nurture the tree as it thickens and matures before harvesting it in the Winter and then letting it season and dry. 'It's then a matter of planing and finishing to show off the wood and grain inside.' Furniture farmer: Gavin Munro with a prototype wooden lampshade grown into shape using his ingenious technique . Botanical manufacturing: A light shade being grown, left, and as a finished article, right . Working together with his wife Alice, Mr Munro mainly uses strong, fast-growing willow for his designs but is also experimenting with ash, sycamore, hazel, crab apple, sessile oak and red oak. He had the original idea while working as a gardener in San Francisco and making furniture from driftwood in his spare time. Remembering an old over-grown bonsai tree in his mother's garden when he was child which resembled a throne, he decided it would be faster to grow furniture directly rather chopping a mature tree into bits. As well as avoiding the need for nails, fixings and machinery, the designs should last longer than traditionally-made chairs as they don't have the weak points around the joins. Wife Alice, 40, explains: 'Just like a broken bone will be a lot stronger where it heals, the points where the wood is grafted are extremely strong.

Officials at the BPCA warned that pests numbers are at their highest levels for several years after councils cut free pest-buster services. They said that, while there were usual local reasons for particular pests being common, the overall trend across the UK was an increase in numbers. For example, while rats and cockroaches are particularly common in large cities such as London, areas such as Fife, in Scotland, are much more prone to ants.

Obama sat on one side, between the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Facebook pioneer Mark Zuckerberg, but the place of honor was no accident. Google executives and employees donated more than $1.6 million to Obama's two White House campaigns, and the online search giant parachuted top talent into both. One result has been a coziness with the U.S. government's executive branch that few other companies can match \u2013 marked by access for lobbyists, mentions in nearly half of Obama's State of the Union addresses, and a personnel feeder trough serving the White House with new senior hires.

At least 190 of those meetings were with senior officials. More than 60 featured Google lobbyist Johanna Shelton. Overall, according to The Wall Street Journal, Google spent $16.8 million on lobbying last year. That's four times the amount spent by Apple, whose market capitalization is twice as big. It needed that muscle in 2011, after the FTC found Google allegedly manipulated search results in ways that favored its own for-profit products. Amazon and eBay were among the companies who complained that Google was engaging in practices that violated antitrust laws. The Journal reviewed emails showing that Google co-founder Larry Page met directly with FTC officials in late 2012 to discuss a settlement.

Physical activity can increase grey matter in the brain, increasing the size of areas that contribute to balance and coordination, according to Health Day news. The changes in the brain may have health implications in the long-term, such as reducing the risk of falling, said the study's author, Dr Urho Kujala, of the University of Jyvaskyla. Scroll down for video . Exercise can increase the size of areas of the brain that contribute to balance and coordination, a study found . It could also reduce the risk of being immobile in older age, he added. Dr Kujala said physical activity has already been linked to a number of health benefits, such as lower levels of body fat, reduced heart disease risk factors, better memory and thinking, and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. But he and his team wanted to understand how exercise affects the brain. They recruited 10 pairs of identical twins, who were all men aged 32 to 36 years. Focusing on twins, who have the same DNA, would allow researchers to see how their environment affects their bodies. In each pair of twins, one brother had exercised more over the past three years than the other, though they reported they carried out similar levels of exercise earlier in their lives. Dr Kujala said: 'On average, the more active members of twin pairs were jogging three hours more per week compared to their inactive co-twins.' The twins had MRI scans of their brains so researchers could see whether physical activity had any impact on the size of their brains, and specific regions. Exercise didn't seem to affect the size of the brain as a whole, Dr Kujala said. But there was a connection between more activity and more brain volume in areas related to movement, he added. Previous research found exercise is linked to lower levels of body fat, a reduced risk of heart disease, better memory and thinking, and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes . The twins who exercised more did a better job of controlling their blood sugar, which reduces the risk of diabetes, a finding which is already well-known. The study was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. It comes after US researchers found regular exercise can also make you smarter. University of South Carolina experts found regular treadmill sessions create more mitochondria - structures in the cells that produce the body's energy - in the brain. This energy boost helped the brain to work faster and more efficiently, effectively keeping it younger, researchers said. In the short term this could reduce mental fatigue and sharpen your thinking in between gym sessions. And building up a large reservoir of mitochondria in the brain could also create a 'buffer' against age-related brain diseases such as Alzheimer's.", "summary": "Study: Exercising increases the amount of grey matter in the brain .

The doctor said that the hallucinations occur in those in hearing loss, when the brain compensates for a lack of stimulation by making its own sounds.

Bruce Davis' record shows there is 'some evidence' he is dangerous and shouldn't be freed, Superior Court Judge William C. Ryan wrote in a decision filed Wednesday. Davis, 72, was convicted in the 1969 slayings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald 'Shorty' Shea and sentenced to life in prison in 1972. He was 30 years old at the time. Then and now: Bruce Davis, Charles Manson's former follower (pictured left in 1970 and right in March 2014), has been denied parole after spending 43 years in prison for a double homicide in 1969 . Bloodthirsty: Bruce Davis held Gary Hinman, a friend, at gunpoint while Charles Manson (pictured) sliced his face open with a sword . Davis, who once bragged of cutting Shea's head off, claimed he has turned his life around in prison, earning a doctoral degree in philosophy, becoming religious and ministering to other inmates. He also married a woman he met through the prison ministry, and has a grown daughter. The couple recently divorced. The parole board cited those accomplishments, along with his age and good behavior as reasons to grant him parole in March last year. Gov. Jerry Brown rejected that decision in August, saying factors in his favor were outweighed by the brutality of the killings and Davis' lack of insight into the crimes, which he didn't admit until 2012 after claiming for years to be an innocent bystander. The Manson family planned to rob Hinman, a friend, but killed him after holding him two days because he said he didn't have money. Davis held Hinman at gunpoint while Manson sliced his face open with a sword. About a month later, Davis stabbed Shea, who worked at Spahn Ranch where the family lived. His body was found buried on the property years later. Homicidal maniac: Charles Manson, pictured left in 2011, orchestrated the murders of eight people in 1969, including actress Sharon Tate (right). Davis did not play a part in her slaying . 'Both victims were abused, defiled and mutilated,' Ryan wrote. 'These actions demonstrate the utmost callous disregard for human suffering.' The judge said he gave broad deference to Brown's discretion and that the governor's decision in August didn't amount to cruel or unusual punishment. Davis' lawyer had not seen the decision, but said he would appeal to a higher court. 'I'm stunned. I can't believe he would do that,' attorney Michael Evan Beckman said. 'The judge is wrong.' The parole board has found Davis suitable for release three times, but Brown and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the decision each time. Steve Grogan, another participant in those murders, was released many years ago after he agreed to lead police to where the bodies were buried on a remote movie ranch in the San Fernando Valley.

The investigation posted on PETA's website states that this gruesome behaviour was observed in 19 shearing sheds across Australia. 'Shearers are often paid by volume, not by the hour, which encourages fast, violent work and can lead to severe cuts on sheep's bodies,' it said. 'Large swaths of skin were cut or ripped off the bodies of many sheep by the shearers.' The campaign aims to deter people from purchasing wool products and gives a number of alternatives such as cotton, linen and fleece.

Marian Carole Rees was 13 when she disappeared from Hillsdale in southern Sydney in early April 1975 after telling a friend that she had forgotten something and jumped off her school bus. The teenager often talked of running away from home and had said goodbye to her brother on the morning she disappeared, Magistrate Sharon Freund said in findings handed down on Thursday. Marion Carole Rees (pictured) who went missing 40 years ago may still be alive, according to an inquest . Ms Freund said the disappearance did not appear suspicious and there was no evidence suggesting suicide. The teenager probably ran away with the intention of permanently cutting ties with family and friends, she said. 'It is likely nothing has changed in the intervening period.' 'She may still want to avoid detection and not wish to make contact with her family.' She said she was unconvinced, on the balance of probabilities, that Ms Rees is dead. Magistrate Freund said 'the ability to assume a new identity and new life would have been a lot easier forty years ago'. Marion (pictured with her family) was reportedly fed up with taking care of her younger siblings, as her mother had a drinking problem . Marian had only been living in Australia for a year after emigrating when she went missing while on the bus to Matravill High School with her friend Tanya Davenport.

In a statement last year, Mrs Davenport told the Daily Telegraph that Marian was preoccupied during their bus journey and thought she may have seen something when she jumped off the bus. '[Marian] was sitting next to me and from memory she looked a bit upset. During our conversation, she was looking out the window. I don't know whether she saw something or what but she jumped out of her seat and said 'I've forgotten something. I've got to go and I'll see you at school,' Mrs Davenport said. Marian had spoke about running away on numerous occasions according to her aunt and grandmother . Ms Rees would now be 53 years old. It is believed that she may have been running away from her mother Margaret and her two siblings John and Joanne, who she often had to take care of due to her mother's drinking. After her disappearance Marian's relatives, including her grandmother and her aunt, told of how the teenager longed to run away from her normal life.

More victims: Aaron Hernandez is accused of killing Daniel Abreu (left), 29, and Safirdo Furtado (right), 28, immigrants from Cape Verde, in July 2012 after a nightclub altercation over a spilled drink . Former NFL player Aaron Hernandez, pictured at his sentencing at the Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Massachusetts, Wednesday, is facing a second trial in a 2012 deadly drive-by shooting . Following the sentencing phase, which took place immediately after the conviction, Hernandez was handcuffed and returned to jail. A first-degree murder conviction in Massachusetts automatically triggers an appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court. A date for the Hernandez appeal wasn't immediately set. But the former Patriots tight-end will back in front of a judge later this year, this time in Boston, to face murder charges in the killings of Daniel Abreu, 29, and Safirdo Furtado, 28. The jury that rendered the Lloyd verdict was not told about that case. On July 16, 2012, the two immigrants from Cape Verde were found murdered in their car at a stop light in South Boston following a drive-by shooting. A third man was wounded in the incident but survived. They had reportedly gotten into a fight with Hernandez and his crew over a spilled drink at a night club prior to their murders. In May 2014, Hernandez was indicted for both killings. He pleaded not guilty. According to prosecutors, de Abreu accidentally bumped into him at Cure Lounge, spilling Hernandez's drink. Hernandez told a friend he thought the man was 'trying' him, and surveillance video outside the club showed Hernandez pacing back and forth while his friend tried to calm him down at around 2.30am. Later, Hernandez drove around until he saw the men get in a BMW, followed them and shot at them from a silver SUV at a stop light, prosecutors said. A third man in their car also was shot but survived. About six weeks after that shooting, Hernandez signed a five-year, $40million contract with the Patriots, and he went on to play for another season before Lloyd was killed. He was cut from the team soon after being arrested in Lloyd's killing in June 2013. The Boston case against Hernandez is considered to be stronger than the one that had just wrapped up in Fall River because prosecutors have the suspected murder weapon in the drive-by shooting and eyewitness accounts to rely upon, according to Fox Sports.

Cranberry juice is frequently promoted as a health product which is said to ward off urinary tract infections. And pomegranate juice has been linked to resistance to prostate cancer and heart disease.

The leader has improved its market share in the increasingly fashionable premium ale market, but it's believed Aldi is luring customers away from Tesco, offering a smaller range but cheaper prices.

To use an example of the difference in price, Aldi sells bottles of Newcastle brown ale for \u00a31.24. They costs \u00a31.64 at Tesco and Waitrose and \u00a31.65 at Morrisons. The discounter has also increased wine sales by 24 per cent over the last years which shows drinkers with all tastes are now flocking to Aldi to buy their booze. It's another chapter in the rise of discounters who are slowly stealing market share from the big three, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda.

Shortly afterwards they sacked boss Phil Clarke who was replaced by Unilever executive Dave Lewis, who announced a series of money-saving measures to try and turn the tide.. The research into the premium ale market doesn't tell a very consistent story, with all but two of the big supermarkets managing to increase their market share. Sainsbury's currently has the second largest share in the beer market which it has improved by 7 per cent while Asda, third, increased by 1.5 per cent. Upmarket Waitrose, which also saw a double-digit increase in the premium ale market, now has a 5.1 per cent share of the entire supermaket industry.

Its central trunk is hollow with six smaller ones branching off - possible due to disease - and locals fear it is on its way out due to wilting branches and falling leaves. The 4,000-year-old tree is 'looking extremely sick,' according to a warden at the church in Ashbrittle, Somerset .

Staring cockily at the camera, violent robber Craig 'Lazie' Lynch shows off his toned physique in a series of audacious self-portraits taken in his prison cell \u2013 from where he is said to be earning a fortune by running illegal websites. Lynch is serving nine years for a series of violent gang robberies, including one in which a knife was held to a terrified father's throat in front of his family. Use of computers, social media and mobile phones is strictly forbidden behind bars. Yet, as this picture and his posts show, Lynch has been free to run a sneering Facebook site from his cell in Bedford Prison. And, according to a former friend, he is using it to make huge profits from websites selling legal highs. The friend, now disgusted with Lynch and the 'lax attitude' of the prison authorities, told The Mail on Sunday the bearded criminal has become a 'self-made millionaire earning so much tax-free money behind bars he has invested in properties in Cyprus, Ireland and Spain and a fleet of luxury cars'. Lynch, 34, is in constant communication with more than 400 'friends', poking fun at British justice and bragging about using an iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy. He updates social media feeds with 'selfies' and photos of takeaway meals \u2013 and reports how he has had a tattoo, drinks vodka, plays online games and has a personal gym trainer.

He was branded the \u2018Man with No Shame\u2019 after refusing to resign over the Mid Staffs scandal which led to 1,200 needless deaths. Sir David: The former head of the NHS's criticism of Labour threatens to demolish its claim to be the champion of the NHS . Published in The Daily Mail, February 7, 2013 . The lifelong bureaucrat had led the West Midlands Strategic Health Authority, which oversaw Mid Staffs, before Labour appointed him to run the NHS in 2006. Sir David stayed in the top job, insisting he did not know what went on at Mid Staffs, until retiring in April last year with a pension pot worth almost \u00a32 million. His replacement as chief executive Simon Stevens drew up a \u00a330billion five-year rescue package called Forward View which the Conservatives and Lib Dems have both pledged to implement. It involves the NHS finding \u00a322billion in savings but also needs an extra \u00a38billion funding by 2020. Labour has paid lip service to the plan, promising just \u00a32.5billion. Sir David said: \u2018All of the parties now I think, bar Labour, have signed up to the \u00a38billion so it\u2019s important, obviously, we get all the political parties signed up. \u2018They haven\u2019t said the \u00a38billion, it would be helpful, I think, for the NHS if they did.\u2019 His comments add to a chorus of criticism over Labour\u2019s health plans. Mike Dixon, a leading GP and chairman of the NHS Alliance, said he was \u2018extremely worried by the lack of political consensus around the \u00a38billion funding\u2019. He added: \u2018NHS leaders have been clear that this is the minimum amount needed to maintain current service provision. It\u2019s not rocket science to predict the impact on the NHS if this commitment is not met. \u2018Patients would face longer waits, services would face severe cuts and rationing, and many hospitals and GP practices would struggle to survive in their current form.\u2019 Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said Labour must explain why it won't find the money the NHS 'says it needs' Chris Ham, chief executive of the King\u2019s Fund think-tank, said: \u2018The big question is about funding, with Labour the only one of the three main parties not to have pledged to find the \u00a38billion in additional funding called for in the NHS five-year Forward View. \u2018Given this is the minimum if the NHS is to continue to meet patient needs and maintain standards of care, this leaves a significant gap at the heart of its plans.\u2019 Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: \u2018Labour must explain why they won\u2019t find the money the NHS says it needs. \u2018They don\u2019t have a plan for the economy and that means they\u2019ll never be able to fund the NHS.\u2019 Sir David warned that the scale of the impending cash crisis", "summary": "Sir David Nicholson warned Labour about failing to match Tory NHS pledge .

There's no need to get cold hands while trying to get the baby to sleep either: Mummy Mitts attach to the handle bars of the pushchair, meaning you can take your hands out while the mittens remain attached. Headlights for the pushchair and a baby 'shusher' are among the latest gadgets for mums... ...or why not try mittens that attached to the pushchair or a giraffe to rock the crib? Koo-di's spout protector is also among the list of products you never knew you needed, stopping baby touching hot bath taps and protecting against bumps, with heat spots that change colour to indicate temperature. When it comes to bedtime the Baby Shusher puts an end to pacing round the living room for hours on end: with rhymic 'shush' sounds the device can be programmed to make 15 minutes or 30 minutes of continuous shushing. And if that doesn't work patent-pending Gerry the Giraffe attaches to car seat, cribs and baby bouncers to rock the baby for up to 30 minutes - just enough time to get your nails done.

The findings, in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), are based on a study of about 95,000 young people. All those in the study had older siblings. Some of the elder children had autism and some did not. Numerous studies over the last 15 years have ruled out a link between the MMR vaccine and autism . Since autism can run in families, researchers decided to look at whether vaccines could make autism even more likely in children who had siblings with autism. They found that vaccines had no effect on autism risk, whether or not a sibling in the family was diagnosed. 'Consistent with studies in other populations, we observed no association between MMR vaccination and increased ASD risk among privately insured children,' said the study, led by Anjali Jain, a doctor in Falls Church, Virginia. 'We also found no evidence that receipt of either one or two doses of MMR vaccination was associated with an increased risk of ASD among children who had older siblings with ASD.' Autism is on the rise, and affects as many as one in 68 children in the United States, but its causes remain poorly understood. Fears about vaccines and autism began to spread after the publication in 1998 of an article by Andrew Wakefield. He was later stripped of his medical license . Fears about vaccines and autism began to spread after the publication in 1998 of an article by Andrew Wakefield that purported to find a link between the MMR vaccine and autism in 12 children. It was later found to be fraudulent and was retracted by the journal that published it. As the author, Wakefield was stripped of his medical license. But concerns over vaccine safety, particularly in the Internet age, have proven difficult to quell. 'Although a substantial body of research over the last 15 years has found no link between the MMR vaccine and ASD, parents and others continue to associate the vaccine with ASD,' said the JAMA study. 'Surveys of parents who have children with ASD suggest that many believe the MMR vaccine was a contributing cause.' Children who have an older sibling with autism are less likely to get vaccinated, the study found. The MMR vaccination rate for the children with unaffected siblings was 92 percent by age five. In contrast, the MMR vaccination rates for children with older siblings with ASD was 86 percent by age five. An accompanying editorial by Bryan King, a doctor at the University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital, said the data is clear. 'The only conclusion that can be drawn from the study is that there is no signal to suggest a relationship between MMR and the development of autism in children with or without a sibling who has autism,' King wrote.

At one stage the worldwide population dropped to just a few thousand due to over-fishing and hunting, but it has now recovered to 90,000. However, some experts have warned it is too soon to declare the conservation project a success, and that more information is needed to make such a decision. Noaa Fisheries in Maryland says the humpback whale is no longer endangered. They want to break up global population into 14 sub-populations. Ten of these will be 'not at risk', two 'threatened' and two still 'endangered'. It follows a conservation 'success story' that raised numbers to 90,000 . The proposal, by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Fisheries in Maryland, is to reclassify the global population of humpback whales into 14 \u2018population segments\u2019, based on how they have recovered. Ten of these would be deemed \u2018not at risk\u2019, two would be \u2018threatened\u2019 and two would remain \u2018endangered\u2019. The endangered species would be off the West and East coast of Africa, while the threatened species live in water near China and Central America, which occasionally enter US waters. Humans hunted the whales in high numbers, killing 200,000 before their listing as endangered in 1970, four years after the International Whaling Commission banned commercial humpback whaling. The commission put a stop to all commercial whaling in 1986. All the whales remain protected under the Marine Mammals Protection Act, and the US is still an active member of the International Whaling Commission. According to the International Whaling Commission's website, there are only a few places in the world that still allow hunting of humpback whales, and that is for aboriginal subsistence only. Three nations, Japan, Norway and Iceland, still allow the animals to be killed for scientific research. Humpbacks are found around the world, and officials say protection and restoration efforts have increased their numbers in many areas. Among those recommended for delisting is the population that migrates each year from Hawaii to Alaska. Noaa officials said decisions on which whale groups to recommend were based on many factors, including the risks they face. The single largest threat to humpbacks is fishing activities that result in the whales becoming tangled in fishing gear and drowning. Protection and restoration efforts have been taking place over the last 40 years after a dramatic reduction in humpback whale numbers. Until the International Whaling Commission gave them protection in 1966, more than 200,000 were killed by commercial whalers. But since then numbers have risen dramatically, and Noaa says the entire species is no longer endangered and needs to be reclassified. However, even those deemed \u2018not at risk\u2019 would still be protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. \u2018The return of the iconic humpback whale is an ESA [Endangered Species Act] success story,\u2019 said Eileen Sobeck, assistant Noaa administrator for fisheries. \u2018As we learn more about the species - and realise the populations are largely independent of each other - managing them separately allows us to focus protection on the animals that need it the", "summary": "Noaa Fisheries in Maryland says humpback whale is no longer endangered .

Not for me, but to try to make up for what my family has been put thru, as well as to shell out some `bonuses' to my legal team.,' he wrote in one note to his defense team included in the archive.

Goal: Panayiotou 18 . Referee: Simon Barrow . And despite his frustrating absence, Evans looked solid enough in a 90 minute appearance where he went close from a set piece before the break. However he will feel he should have denied Harry Panayiotou the opener for Leicester. Van Persie and Evans along with Rafael and Tyler Blackett were all in the United side that lost 5-3 to Leicester at the King Power Stadium back in September and keen to banish the memories of one of their lowest points of the season. United could have taken an early lead with James Wilson seeing a shot deflect wide from Andy Kellet\u2019s cross. However it was Leicester who took the lead in the 19th minute, Anthony Knockaert\u2019s tricks out wide enabled him to cross for Panayiotou, the highly-rated St Kitts and Nevis international, who powered home. It would be harsh to blame Evans for the goal but Panayiotou was his man and he will feel he should have done better. In response United went close through Januzaj who shot wide from distance while Joel Pereira had to do well to push Leicester midfielder Jak McCourt\u2019s effort around the post. The visitors started to press with Adam Smith\u2019s save keeping out a Wilson effort.

A respected NatWest bank manager who was jailed for stealing \u00a3185,000 from his elderly customers to fund his internet gambling addiction will have to pay back every penny. Glenn Mason, 56, plundered the accounts of nine pensioners including an 83 year-old woman and a 92 year-old man living near his branch in Biggin Hill, Kent, the Old Bailey heard. Mason, who was given an award by the Metropolitan Police in Bromley in 2009 for his crime fighting efforts, got away with the thefts for almost a year before his arrest in July 2012. His attempts to cover up his crime by transferring money using the identity of two of his colleagues, Julie Jeffrey, 50, and James Cato, 35, led to them being sacked and charged with fraud. It was only when Mason pleaded guilty in September that the case against them was dropped at the Old Bailey. Mason, who was jailed for 15 months in November last year, has said he will pay back the whole \u00a3185,000 out of his RBS pension pot. The bank has already refunded the customers targeted by Mason, and will receive the money as compensation. \u2018The benefit was \u00a3185,000 and the recoverable amount is greater than that so the available amount will be the same\u2019, said prosecutor David Hughes. \u2018The loser here ultimately was RBS - they had to reimburse the account holders.\u2019 Mr Hughes said the bank had started civil proceedings against Mason, as well as the compensation claim that comes after a criminal conviction. \u2018If he makes a payment from his pension pot to RBS then that would deal with these proceedings and they would come to an end.\u2019 Mason, who sobbed in the dock as he was jailed, did not appear in court for today\u2019s hearing. Judge Stephen Kramer QC will confirm the money has been paid at a short hearing on May 15. At his sentencing hearing, Andrew Lawson, representing Mason, said the bank manager turned to gambling after his teenage son was injured by a roadside bomb while fighting with British troops in Afghanistan. Mr Lawson said that all of the stolen money was paid into his gambling account and told the court: \u2018It was late night poker and online games that are designed to tempt you into spending money in the hope of a big win.\u2019 The court also heard statements from two of Mason\u2019s victims, Julie Amos and Leslie Pilditch, who both said they no longer felt able to trust banks. Julie Jeffrey also described how she lost her job after her arrest and added: \u2018I no longer feel proud, my life has fallen apart.\u2019 Mason's actions took place at Natwest in Biggin Hill (pictured).

Bernie Madoff, who carried out one of the world's largest frauds, tried to persuade his drug dealer's girlfriend to become his mistress, it has emerged. Madoff is serving 150 years in prison for carrying out a $65 billion Ponzi style fraud - which became the largest in financial history. A new book about the financier claims he had put pressure on an Israeli model who was working for him as a stock analyst and dating his dealer Silvio Eboli to sleep with him. He is said to have met Eboli at a Christmas party in 1997 at the Montauk Yacht Club with his son Mark, who later committed suicide over his father's fraudulent activities, Page Six reported. 'Bernie had put enormous pressure on 'Leah' to sleep with him and be his mistress, offering her practically anything if she just let him f*** her,' the book by Toby Rogers states. Eboli is believed to have never confronted Madoff but warned he would injure him if he ever crossed the line with his girlfriend. After 'Leah' became pregnant with Eboli's child in 2001 Madoff apparently summoned her into his office to say she had made a mistake. In the book Madoff is described as bellowing 'You could have had gold. You could have had me. You could have had an apartment, a car, a driver. But instead you throw all that away for some f****** hippie!' Madoff was arrested in December 2008 after he confessed his multi-billion dollar fraud to his two sons and they reported him to the FBI. He pleaded guilty to 11 federal felonies in March 2009. The charges included securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, making false statements, perjury, theft from an employee benefit plan and making false filings with the SEC. Mark Madoff killed himself on the second anniversary of his father's prison sentence. Andrew Madoff, who had been head of equities at his father's New York based company, died last year after a battle with lymphoma, and had previously blamed the stress caused by his father for his relapse. Madoff (left) is pictured with his wife Ruth and his son Mark, who killed himself after his father's arrest . Andrew Madoff, on the Today show with fiance Catherine Hooper, left, and mother Ruth Madoff, right, said he would never forgive his father - not even on his death bed . Earlier this year 76-year-old Madoff wrote a letter from prison saying the pain he inflicted on victims of his Ponzi scheme is nothing compared to having to deal with losing both his sons. Defrauded Madoff investors have long viewed the convicted swindler's sons, wife and other family member suspiciously, arguing it is impossible that they did not know about his lies. But they were never criminally charged - and never forgave him. The allegations about Madoff's advances towards his dealer's girlfriend are contained in Rogers' book The Ganja Godfather.", "summary": "Bernie Madoff is serving 150 years in prison for $65billion Ponzi style fraud .

In 1989, Brown was part of the Ibrox side which contested an Old Firm Scottish Cup final with two trophies already banked. He was involved in a touchline tussle with Roy Aitken that saw the Celtic skipper seize the ball and take a throw-in that should have gone the other way. Ten seconds later \u2013 following a defensive blunder from Gary Stevens \u2013 Joe Miller had fired home the only goal of the game. Rangers legend John Brown says Celtic have a case of 'sour grapes' about their recent Scottish Cup exit . Twenty six years on, Celtic have seen their own hopes of a clean sweep disappear amid intense controversy. They have written to the SFA seeking 'to understand' how the match officials failed to spot the hand Josh Meekings used to block a Leigh Griffiths shot in their semi-final defeat to Inverness. Brown views the whole furore as 'a bit of sour grapes' that speaks of the frustration within his old rivals. 'It's hard for officials given the pace of the game,' said Brown. 'Celtic have been frustrated because they have not managed to win a Treble and Rangers have not been in the league for a number of years. I'm sure if Rangers were in that position they would have won a Treble in that time, probably two or three...' The last comment was delivered with a grin. Brown could rant at refs with the best of them during his time in charge of Dundee, not least when Alan Muir was fooled by a Peter Pawlett dive and awarded Aberdeen a penalty that effectively relegated the Dens Park side. Muir was the extra official behind the goal on Sunday and has shared the brunt of Celtic fans' wrath with ref Steven McLean. 'It basically put us down that day but it was one of those things, a referee's interpretation,' reflected a more sanguine Brown on his own brush with Muir. 'It is crazy now. The boy Steven McLean is a right good referee. Results went against me when he was refereeing and I was at Dundee. But he is a good ref, an honest guy. If he had seen it he would have given the penalty. 'If decisions went against me at Dundee, I would say to him through frustration. But when I thought about it, he never did it intentionally. I don' t think any of the officials do. Inverness defender Josh Meekings blocks a goal-bound header with his hand but no penalty is given . 'It is impossible for the guy on the line to see it (Meekings' handball). You see the angle of the ref, there is a defender in front of him. It is that quick a reaction.

Klopp has painstakingly built a team in his image during his seven-year tenure at the Westfalenstadion and achieved considerable success. Dortmund were Bundesliga champions in 2011 and 2012 before they reached the final of the Champions League in 2013. Jurgen Klopp has announced he is to quit Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season . Klopp has enjoyed seven successful seasons at the Westfalenstadion but has decided to call time . But the signings of Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski helped Bayern Munich re-establish their dominance and Klopp's exit is the end of an era. It could signal the break-up of the Dortmund squad and we take a look at four players who could follow Klopp out of the club this summer. MATS HUMMELS . Even before Klopp's shock announcement, it looked highly likely that Hummels would be leaving at the end of the season, most likely to Manchester United. The Germany World Cup-winner is considered one of the best defenders in the game and would add steel to any back line. Klopp revealed recently that Hummels, 26, had been 'thinking things over,' adding that he believed he was good enough for United. Defender Mats Hummels has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer . ILKAY GUNDOGAN . The 24-year-old midfielder has also been linked with a summer move to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City among those interested. At his best, Gundogan can take control of a midfield battle and is more than capable of unlocking defences with his range of passing. He hinted in February that he was ready to sign a new contract but then stalled and Klopp's departure could make up his mind for him. Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has been linked with a number of Premier League sides . CIRO IMMOBILE . The Italian striker only arrived at the Westfalenstadion from Torino last summer but hasn't lived up to expectations as Lewandowski's replacement. A measly return of 10 goals for the season has hardly compensated for the loss of their star striker to Bayern last summer. There have been suggestions that Dortmund will listen to offers for Immobile and he would most likely return home to Italy, perhaps to AC Milan.

In an essay published on xoJane, Amanda Richards hit out at Lane Bryant\u2019s recent I\u2019m No Angel lingerie campaign, which was widely perceived to have been a rather blatant critique of popular lingerie giant Victoria\u2019s Secret. The clothing store, which carries US sizes 14 to 28, has been applauded for the new campaign, which shows plus-size models looking sexy in the brand's lingerie. But while many people responded that it was encouraging to see women of different sizes being portrayed as sexy, offering a counterpoint to stick-thin models like Victoria's Secret Angels Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, and Lily Aldridge, Amanda takes issue with its message. Regular girl: Writer Amanda Dobbins says Lane Bryant's new I'm No Angel ad campaign doesn't show plus-size women of different proportions . 'I don't think it's particularly healthy or progressive to pit fat bodies against thin bodies,' she says. Amanda explains that part of the problem is that Lane Bryant's ads don't actually show women of all sizes, but rather a subset of overweight women who still have 'correct' proportions, with flatter stomachs and larger busts. 'I have never once seen a Lane Bryant customer with a body that is represented, even a little bit, in any of Lane Bryant's advertising campaigns, myself included,' she said. So the self-described 'body-positive' blogger has taken to social media, posting photos of herself in Lane Bryant underwear to her Instagram account in a 'small offering of solidarity' with other women of varying sizes who feel unrepresented in fashion ads. At size 18, Amanda admits, 'I'm no model' \u2014 but adds that her body type is also not so unusual. Body positive: Amanda hopes to promote positive body image and wants more retailers to advertise toward women of varying sizes . No retouching: The New York-based blogger posted photos of herself that showed off her figure and stretch marks . She continues to say that she hopes brands like Lane Bryant will learn from women like her, as well as other plus-size women on social media, that customers want to see diverse models in their ads campaigns. Lane Bryant, however, insists its I'm No Angel campaign is diverse and represents 'the woman who unapologetically celebrates herself'. 'This campaign is intended to celebrate all women coming together to redefine the ideals of beauty,' Lane Bryant representative Toyin Graham told Bustle. 'This campaign message is all inclusive. Our issue is not with certain sizes of women, it\u2019s with media\u2019s definition of ideal beauty' But Amanda believes it is not enough, saying: 'We don't derive self-worth from seeing diverse images, but we do find power and solidarity and learn to appreciate our own individuality in relationship to others.'

'It's the one thing that never seems to change.' Scroll Down for Video . Not being nice: New Jersey Gov Chris Christie (left) is being called a bully for the way he interacted with a teacher (Kathy Mooney, right) at a Tuesday night town hall meeting . That sentiment doesn't ring well with Christie's ambitions to run in the Republican presidential primaries next year. Tuesday night, Christie appeared at Kenilworth Town Hall to take questions from a group of citizens, when Kathy Mooney, a high school English Teacher from Roselle Park, took the microphone. Ms Mooney, who has been a teacher for 27 years, questioned Christie's motivations behind a legal settlement with oil company ExxonMobil which could have contributed drastically to the state's pension plans for teachers. Christie settled the deal for $225million, despite the fact that the state had originally asked for $8.9billion which Mooney described as 'favoring the affluent' and 'kicking state workers under the bus'. 'I know that you could have gotten more money, on the dollar,' Mooney said. 'Do you?' a defensive Christie quickly responded. 'You do know that? Really? You know that?' Mooney started to respond, but not before being cut off by the governor. A good deal? Mooney questioned Christie's decision-making behind a $225million legal settlement. The state originally wanted $8.9billion from the oil company, and Mooney says that would have had a huge impact on pensions for public employees . 'I mean: Do you know that?' Christie continued. 'I wanna know how you know that. Because you're a teacher, and you're standing in front of students every day, conveying to them, facts - things that they need to learn. So I would like to understand your analysis of how you know that in a ten year long, court case, that you have enough detail to know.' Mooney explains that she read about the deal in the newspaper and did not attend the meeting 'to be bullied'. 'You're not being bullied, because you're asking me a question, I'm going to ask you questions back,' Christie says, as he continues to dodge the issue. 'He said, \"I'm not bullying you' as he bullied her,\"' Wollmer said of the exchange. Perhaps the reason why Wollmer and his union responded sharply to Christie's town hall meeting Tuesday night, is that he blamed the union for their role in the current pension system.

Arsene Wenger's side were far from their best, but Aaron Ramsey's early goal put them ahead and Burnley, for all their endeavour, didn't create too many clear-cut chances.

Kieran Trippier: Forced Ospina into a good save with a curling free-kick and delivered well from corners. 6 . Jason Shackell: At fault for Arsenal\u2019s opener as his sloppy pass gave possession away cheaply. 5.5 . Michael Duff: The 37-year-old did a good job of keeping Giroud under wraps and provided a threat from corners. 6.5 . Ben Mee: Made a superb block to deny Ramsey a second after a brilliant lobbed pass from Ozil. 7 . Ben Mee was booked in the first half for a blatant block on Aaron Ramsey, but responded well . Michael Duff goes up to challenge Arsenal's in-form striker Olivier Giroud during the hard-fought encounter . George Boyd: Full of running as ever but failed to trouble Arsenal when in possession of the ball. 6 . Scott Arfield: Another full of industry and almost provided an assist for Ings with a clever lob. 6 . David Jones: Brought calmness and quality to Burnley\u2019s midfield but could not find a killer pass. 6.5 . Ashley Barnes: Wide left is not his favoured position but put Bellerin under pressure with and intense work ethic. 6 . Danny Ings: Starved action but went close with an acrobatic effort from Arfield\u2019s chip into the box. 6 . Sam Vokes: Saw an early chance go begging when he fired at Ospina from close range. 6 . Subs: Taylor (for David Jones) 90 . George Boyd, who missed a great chance for Burnley on the half-volley, tackles Francis Coquelin . Scott Arfield tries to get to grips with Mesut Ozil as Burnley worked exceptionally hard against Arsenal . Arsenal . David Ospina: Was perhaps busier than he might have expected and had to make decent saves to deny Vokes and Trippier. 7 . Hector Bellerin: Faded after a bright start. Pinned back by Barnes\u2019 aggressive closing down. Nutmegged by Mee. 6 . Laurent Koscielny: Kept a close eye on Danny Ings and restricted the Burnley top-scorer to just one chance. 7 . Per Mertesacker: Given a good, physical battle by Vokes and just about came out on top. 7 . Hector Bellerin is chopped down by Ashley Barnes as Burnley targeted the young Spanish full back . Laurent Koscielny suffered a few difficult moments as Arsenal sought to continue their excellent form . Nacho Monreal: Made a vital interception and clearance to thwart a chance for Ings. 6 .

Goering, who founded the Gestapo and was commander of the German air force, was well known for being overweight and as a result the suit shows the strain of being worn by the large officer.

'The stress levels on the tunic's folds coupled with the strain on the broaches of the tunic show it was worn by someone overweight. 'This also proves it was worn for a long, long time by someone who was fat enough to cause it to stretch and wear over a period of time.

+{"article": "Frustration was clear in the voices of Peter Moores and Alastair Cook as they fended off repeated enquiries about Kevin Pietersen's future more than a year after he had seemingly been banished from international cricket for good. Well, there is only one person to blame \u2014 and that is Colin Graves. The incoming ECB chairman has been responsible for the mixed messages that leave the England team in as big a state of turmoil and internal rebellion as ever. Graves has forged an excellent reputation in English cricket as chairman of Yorkshire for the way he bankrolled and transformed the club, but his initial forays into the international game have been little short of an embarrassment. Colin Graves has made a habit of talking before thinking since being announced as ECB chairman . He has become the loose cannon of English cricket \u2014 and he has yet to take up office. It all started on March 1 when he gave an interview to Garry Richardson of the BBC, who is known for his persistence and admirable success in coaxing ear-catching sound bites from interviewees. So when Graves said that Pietersen \u2014 exiled for valid reasons after the last Ashes debacle before producing a nasty autobiography that only supported the ECB's decision \u2014 had to be playing county cricket to earn an England recall, it was put down to Yorkshire straight-talking. Yet subsequently, most importantly in a phone conversation with Pietersen, Graves has done little to play down the 34-year-old's chances \u2014 even if privately the chairman is said to be perplexed at the media's 'spin' on his apparent opening of the England door. If Graves, who has apparently assured senior figures that he does not want Pietersen back, really had no intention of encouraging the maverick, then he has made a right old mess of it. For he has created a soap opera that will run and run now Pietersen has rejoined Surrey and put huge pressure on a fledgling England middle order who made significant Test progress last summer. England head coach Peter Moores (left) and Alastair Cook answer questions at a press conference . Not to mention completely undermining managing director Paul Downton and national selector James Whitaker, who have repeatedly clarified England's stance on the batsman over the last 14 months. And if Graves disagreed with the original decision to axe Pietersen, then he had a duty as deputy chairman of the ECB to say so then, not wait until he had taken over from Giles Clarke. That is not all. Since his Pietersen outburst, Graves has said that there will be an inquiry if England do not beat a 'mediocre' West Indies in the upcoming three-Test series. This prompted the respected Barbadian commentator Tony Cozier to liken the comments to Tony Greig's infamous intention in 1976 to make the West Indies 'grovel'. Then Graves came out with the ridiculous notion of reducing Test matches to four days. This would be achieved by introducing the unrealistic target of playing 105 overs a day \u2014 a move that would destroy", "summary": "Incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves has handled the potential return of Kevin Pietersen very poorly .

Needless to say, we were disappointed to see Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr lose at the weekend against Andrzej Fonfara.

Now we turn to three big fights in the next two months to see what Carl does next. I have held talks with Gennady Golovkin\u2019s manager and there is also the possibility of Bernard Hopkins, but there are three fights coming up where the winner could work for Carl. Carl Froch (left) has not fought since beating George Groves at Wembley last May . Froch has kept in shape and weighs 12st 7lbs - despite being away from the ring for nearly a year now . Froch had hoped to meet Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, but he lost to Andrzej Fonfara last week . There is the possibility of Paul Smith-Andre Ward in the pipeline, Anthony Dirrell versus Badou Jack for the WBC world title and Andre Dirrell\u2019s IBF world title fight against James DeGale, which is the biggest bout of this trio. Anthony Dirrell\u2019s people have already been in touch with me about a Froch fight in the event that he wins, but I wonder if it is big enough. A fight against DeGale still feels to me like the most probable, if he comes through against Dirrell on May 23. That is a huge fight, a proper 50-50, but I fully believe he can do it. For me, from talking to Carl, I think he needs to fight again in 2015 if he is to ever return. If doesn\u2019t come back this year, I don\u2019t think he will. He has been a year out of the ring so let\u2019s see. I know he is going to have an eagle eye on all these fights. The possibility of him retiring is very high but he is still training hard. He is walking around at 12st 7lbs and in the gym four to five days a week. The guy has the hunger but it has to be for the right fight and the right money. My belief is still that it might be DeGale. DeGale has looked sensational in camp and is improving at a brilliant rate \u2013 if he wins the title over in the US he will be in a great position. I mentioned Golovkin before. When I was on the phone to Carl he spent 20 minutes talking about the guy. He is a fighter that absolutely fascinates him; it\u2019s a fight that would get everyone talking. I am looking at it. It would have to be at 168lbs and it would be special. I wouldn\u2019t want to be the one to find out how Golovkin punches at the weight but Carl has a sick mind like that. I\u2019m not going to rule that one out. James DeGale", "summary": "If Carl Froch doesn't fight in 2015 I'm not sure he'll be back at all .

+{"article": "Patients tried and failed to book almost 34 million GP appointments last year, shocking new figures have revealed. A study reported in the British Medical Journal found that 90 per cent of patients were able to get an appointment in 2013/14. The 10 per cent who could not amounts to around 33.8 million unsuccessful attempts each year - or 81 per surgery each week. The shambolic situation is responsible for as many as a quarter of A&E visits, the researchers say. Lack of access: Patients tried and failed to book almost 34 million GP appointments last year . The figures, from the GP Patient Survey, also show that patients who report worse access to conventional GP appointments are more likely to use out-of-hours services. And surgeries where patients were able to see a GP within two week days had lower rates of A&E department visits. Other research has suggested that greater access to GP surgeries is linked with lower rates of emergency admissions for conditions such as heart failure and stroke. The figures come just a day after it was revealed one in five visits to A&E are unnecessary. A fifth of patients turning up in A&E have self-treatable conditions including sore throats, athlete\u2019s foot and head lice, a study has claimed. Researchers have calculated that more than 4 million visits a year are unnecessary \u2013 costing the NHS \u00a3290 million. Doctors have even reported patients showing up because they were hungover, their false nails were hurting or they had paint in their hair. The analysis of data from 15 A&E units by consultancy firm IMS Health found that 19 per cent of patients had what is called a \u2018self-treatable condition\u2019. The data covered one in ten A&E units across England, so if the trends are mirrored across the country, then an estimated 4.1million of the 21.7million visits last year were for minor ailments. The problem is largely caused by the fact that patients find it difficult to see a GP, particularly out of hours. Many go to A&E in the knowledge that they will at least be seen by a doctor that day, even if they have to wait four hours. Today's piece, written by academics from Imperial College London and New York University, points out that more GPs are required if access is to be improved. But they add politicians' promises of an extra 5,000 to 8,000 GPs are likely to be challenging to achieve.

The new figures come just a day after it was revealed a fifth of patients turning up to casualty have self-treatable conditions including sore throats, athlete\u2019s foot and head lice . So despite election pledges by the Tories and Labour to improve access to GPs appointments, they argue these promises are unlikely to be achieved within a parliamentary term.

The conference heard an example of a student being pulled aside after prayers one Friday because children coming out of the prayer room were talking about extremism, despite the fact that the boy had put a strong argument against joining jihadi groups. In another case, a boy who applied to go to Pakistan to visit his dying grandfather had his laptop taken from him and searched, with three potential examples of the youngster viewing jihadi websites found.

Corinna Skorpenske, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, took to Facebook to publicly shame the anonymous note writer, while also defending her daughter Harley Jo, a student at Ohio State University, and her condition. 'My first reaction was anger,' Corinna told Yahoo Health. 'On top of everything she deals with she didn't need this. Harley is very strong, and many times she just lets it go. But because she is human I know she feels something.' Noted: Harley Jo Skorpenske, who suffers from lupus, discovered this note on her car after stopping at a CVS in Cleveland, Ohio . Keeping up appearances: The disability caused by Harley's illness is not visible to others, but presents her with a battle every day . The harsh note, which was left on Harley\u2019s car, despite the fact that that her official handicap tag was clearly visible, read: 'You should be ashamed! When you take a handicap spot, an actual disabled person suffers. You were not raised as you should have been.' The person who wrote it evidently saw Harley walk into the pharmacy unaided, and assumed that she was lying about being disabled. In response to the note, Harley's mother Corinna wrote an open letter on Facebook, hoping it would eventually reach the person whose ignorance had so upset her daughter, and also aiming to raise awareness for non-visible 'ghost diseases' such as Harley's.

But that distinctive splash of colour is the only clue to the identity of the man who turned this building into a family home. In the early 1970s, Sir Richard Branson brought the chapel into residential use while he was setting up his Virgin recording business. And from then until the present day, the Virgin logo \u2013 which has gone on to adorn trains, planes and a multitude of other businesses \u2013 has always been printed in the red of those humble chapel doors. Sir Richard Branson converted The Old Chapel in Shipton-on-Cherwell, Oxfordshire, into a home in the 1970s . At the time he converted the property, Branson had a recording studio in an old manor house a few miles away from the chapel at South Leigh in Shipton-on-Cherwell, Oxfordshire. At The Manor, the first Virgin albums, such as Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, were recorded and Branson would use The Old Chapel as a weekend retreat. Other artists using The Manor included Sandy Denny, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and John Cale. 'I saw Richard coming and going into The Old Chapel in the 1970s,' says South Leigh resident Martin Collet, 57. 'I often used to see him in the village pub, The Mason Arms, having a meal with family and friends and he was always very pleasant.' He brought the chapel into residential use while he was setting up his Virgin recording business . The entrepreneur painted the doors of the country retreat his trademark bright red, pictured with Kate Moss . He adds that The Old Chapel wasn't always a complete retreat from Branson's rock 'n' roll world. 'He often had parties there and we heard the music, even though we were four doors away \u2013 but it wasn't a problem. I think he only used the house at the weekends, and he was well liked in the village.' Other residents recall that Branson was a regular visitor to the village shop on Sundays, buying breakfast for his overnight visitors. Branson's love affair with this part of Oxfordshire continued after he left The Old Chapel. He owned The Manor until the 1990s and, for two decades, also owned Mill End House in the village of Kidlington, which he sold to his children a few years ago when he moved his base to Necker Island in the Caribbean. 'Branson did a superb job on the chapel,' says Rowan Andrews, the home's current owner, who bought it in 2007. 'We haven't had to do much, apart from putting in solid oak flooring and new central heating with Victorian-style radiators.' The four-bedroom home is now on the market for \u00a3599,000.

Hamilton County's prosecutor said that the grand jury also indicted Andrea Bradley, 28, and Glen Bates, 32, on murder and child endangering charges in Glenara Bates' death. Prosecutor Joe Deters says the parents, both of Cincinnati, could face the death penalty if convicted of all the charges. Scroll down for video . Facing charges: Andrea Bradley (left), 28, and Glen Bates (right), 32, have been indicted on aggravated murder charges in the beating death of their 2-year-old daughter last month . Innocent: Glenara Bates was brought to an Ohio hospital last month dead and weighing only 13lbs . Deters' statement says Bradley took her baby daughter to a hospital March 29 where the girl was pronounced dead. The child had been badly beaten and had bruises, belt marks and bite marks, he said. The child also had injury to her head and broken teeth, and injuries had been inflicted over an extended period of time. She had over 100 wounds to her body total. According to the prosecutors, at the time of her death Glenara weighted only 13lbs - the average weight of a 3 or 4-month-old infant. Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Kode Sammarco, who performed the autopsy on Glenara, described it as the worst case of starvation she's ever witnessed in her career. 'There is no doubt in my mind this child was tortured for the majority of her pitifully short life,' Sammarco said. She recalled that it took a team of pathologists more than four hours to document all of the toddler's numerous injuries and scars. \u2018The abuse this baby suffered is beyond belief,\u2019 Deters said. 'If they [parents] get executed, God bless them, I\u2019d like to see it.' The prosecutor said Bradley had seven children and is expecting her eighth child in July.

The official reprimand read: 'While working a secondary employment job, Trooper Spears took a photo with a public figure who has a well-known criminal background including numerous drug charges. 'The public figure posted the photo on social media and it reflects poorly on the Agency.' The counseling advised Spears to say no when people ask for a picture with him. Snoop has convictions for drug possession and stood trial for murder in 1993 before being acquitted. Since Spears was only reprimanded with counseling, DPS does not view the penalty as a formal disciplinary action and the trooper cannot appeal.

Currently second in the Championship, the Easter Road club stand to make \u00a31million from anticipated sell-out home gates against Rangers and the 11th place club in the Premiership - currently Motherwell. Under recently passed SPFL rules, however, play-off sides must hand over 50 per cent of their play-off profits for distribution among lower league clubs within seven days. And, faced with the possible loss of substantial sums from two lucrative matches, Hibs chairman Rod Petrie has garnered support from Hearts and Motherwell for a resolution to slash the profits levied from play-off finalists from 50 per cent to 25 per cent. The issue will go to the vote at the SPFL AGM next Thursday, but faces opposition from the SPFL board who believe the move puts self-interest above those of all 42 clubs. Hibernian face a battle over potentially lucrative gate revenues with lower league clubs . On Tuesday, one senior club figure told Sportsmail on condition of anonymity, that the Hibs, Hearts and Motherwell proposal was \u2018outrageous\u2019. \u2018The agreement two years ago was that the clubs from the bottom three divisions would get more of the money,\u2019 Sportsmail was told. \u2018As part of that overall package we agreed a levy on the play-offs.

Hibs would have to hand over 50 per cent of play-off gate revenues to lower league clubs under SPFL rules . Hibernian are believed to have had reservations over the 50 per cent levy before the redistribution package was passed and have now gathered backing to revisit the issue next Thursday from Motherwell \u2013 also likely to be involved in the play-offs \u2013 and city rivals Hearts.

The artists admitted he modelled her body on Michelangelo's Isaiah, which is on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Mrs Keefe, who wasn't actually a riveter, was paid $10 (equivalent to $136 today) for two sessions she posed for Rockwell and his photographer, Gene Pelham.

Twenty-four years after she posed, Rockwell sent her a letter calling her the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen and apologizing for the hefty body in the painting. 'I did have to make you into a sort of a giant,' he wrote. Mrs Keefe said people in Arlington didn't make too much of a fuss about her being in the Rosie painting, aside from teasing her a little about Rosie's big arms.

The girl who found a baby's body floating in a village pond in 1988 says she can no longer be 'blamed' for dumping the boy, after his mother was arrested over the child's death 27 years later. Hayley Grimes, 42, was just a teenager when she found the body of Baby Peter wrapped in a blanket and Sainsbury's bag in Weasenham St Peter, Norfolk. Yesterday, it emerged that the boy's mother had been arrested nearly three decades on, after police used DNA profiling techniques to trace back to his family. The mother, who has not been named, told officers she had put the body into the lake, known locally as Windmill Pit, after going through the trauma of a stillbirth. But Ms Grimes told today how she had been left scarred by the discovery after being accused by locals of being the child's mother. She also said it was 'unthinkable' that the baby had not been given a proper burial. Ms Grimes, a mother of two, said: 'At the time a lot of people thought it could have been me who left the baby and then pretended to find it. 'I think it was because I was so desperate to get it a proper grave. 'The image of that baby has definitely stayed with me all my life and I still feel quite angry about the whole thing. 'I think what she has done is horrible if the baby was dead or alive. 'But I am glad that the have finally found his mother. The very least it means nobody can blame me anymore.' Ms Grimes found the baby while she was playing at the pit, a common place for local children to play, with friends. Speaking about what happened, she said: 'We were just up there as kids. We used to go fishing up there and now and then I would go up there to read a book. 'I thought it must have been an animal or something. My partner at the time helped get it out the water and we cut it open. 'To me it looked like a normal baby wrapped in a blanket but I didn't want to look at it. My partner at the time said it didn't have much of a face because of the decomposition.' Unsolved case: A police officer searches Windmill Pit, the Norfolk pond where the baby boy's body was found back in 1988 . During the original investigation, police had been unable to identify the mother.

An unlicensed driver fresh off a vodka and cocaine binge shouted 'watch this' before killing a great-grandfather on his paper round in a hit-and-run. Tykeran Hamilton, 25, who borrowed the rented black BMW 3 Series and drove it around Gloucester after spending a night drinking and taking drugs, has been jailed for 11 years. He spotted a friend waiting for a bus, leaned out of the window and shouted 'watch this' before accelerating up to 70mph on a residential road at 7am. Bristol Crown Court heard Hamilton sped down the road and overtook cars 'recklessly' - narrowly avoiding a central reservation and other traffic. Moments later, he crashed into cyclist Alan Knight, 64, who was crossing the road while on his morning paper round, then drove away at high speed. Former factory worker Mr Knight, a father-of-four and grandfather-of-14, died instantly from his injuries at the scene, on Stroud Road in Gloucester. Hamilton abandoned the car nearby then fled the city and denied any involvement in the tragedy, which happened on September 26 last year. His trial was due to start today but he admitted causing death by dangerous driving, driving without a license, driving without insurance and failing to stop after a road accident. Judge Graham Cottle said Hamilton 'could not have cared less' about the safety of others on the road when he hit Mr Knight. 'In the early hours of the morning of September 26 Mr Knight was doing a paper round on his bicycle,' the judge told Hamilton. 'What had you been doing for the past 12 hours? The evidence paints a picture of you spending a night drinking, taking cocaine. 'You were an uninsured driver, you were unlicensed. You went to a garage and as it happened you saw somebody nearby who you knew. 'You said \"watch this\". The inference that can be drawn from that statement is that you attempted to show off to him what this car could do. 'You took off up the road at around 60-70mph. You were overtaking recklessly and just managed to avoid colliding with a central island.' Great-grandfather Alan Knight, 64, had been out on his morning paper round when Hamilton crashed into him. Mr Knight was killed instantly. His wife said: 'My life just isn't the same since he was taken from us' Hamilton spotted Mr Knight starting to cross the road ahead and immediately began braking but could not stop, the court heard. 'You drove straight into Mr Knight, doubtless killing him instantly,' the judge said. 'You left him in the road and you drove off at equally high speed.' Hamilton drove back to a friend's house before running to see his girlfriend, who he asked to provide him with an alibi, then left Gloucester.

A reading on the 'fright' decibels of the rollercoaster at Flambards theme park in Helston will be recorded as a row develops over a new housing estate that could bring in 1,000 new residents. Ian Cunningham, who has recently taken ownership of the tourist attraction, said he was 'amazed' to discover no-one had realised the homes will be built right alongside his rollercoaster. Noise levels are being tested on the rollercoaster at Flambards in Cornwall over the Easter period . 'There will be music and screams from the roller coaster ... a theme park without noise is not a theme park,' he told a meeting of the Helston town council planning committee. Cunningham is worried people would buy the new houses and then later complain about the noise, leading to potential restrictions being imposed on his business. 'Residential housing close to a go-kart track, which we also have, seems a little short-sighted,' he added. Developer David Martin has applied for outline planning permission for up to 480 houses and access road on a series of fields. The readings from the fun park will go into a report as local planning council considers a 480-house project . Cunningham said when he bought Flambards, he was made aware of the Helston strategic framework, which had earmarked HX2 (the name given by council planners) as the preferred area for residential development in town. This was also agreed by Helston Town Council last year. But he said the framework document makes no mention of Flambards. The 1,000-resident development is proposed for next door to the popular Cornwall theme park . Nick Jackson, the planning agent on behalf of Mr Martin, said the plans were only outlined at this stage and the position of houses on the land could be agreed later. He said noise experts would be monitoring Flambards over the Easter holidays to assess the level of screaming. The committee is awaiting further information from the developers, including an environmental impact report and the noise report, before their next meeting on April 16.Their decision will be passed onto the Cornwall Council, who will have the final say.", "summary": "A 480-house development is proposed for next to a popular theme park .

With Real Madrid and Juventus winning on Wednesday to join Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the last four, this season's competition is one of the toughest to call in recent memory. We asked our team of reporters who they think will win this season's Champions League. SAMI MOKBEL - Barcelona . Momentum is key at this point in the season and Barcelona are in overdrive. Their early-season woes are a distant memory and Luis Enrique is finally getting his point across. Lionel Messi remains phenomenal and a certain Luis Suarez is hitting top gear just at the right time. Barcelona's formidable front three of Luis Suarez (left) , Neymar (centre) and Lionel Messi (right) NEIL ASHTON - Bayern Munich . They overcame their blip (the rip in the seam of Pep's trousers) to power their way beyond Porto in the second leg of the quarter-final and remind everyone just how good they are. They have much to prove after last season's disappointment but they are a phenomenal team. I expect them to draw Barcelona in the semi-final. Bayern Munich produced a stunning display in the second leg to beat Porto in the quarter-finals . JOE BERNSTEIN - Barcelona . Bayern and Barcelona are both better teams than Juventus or Real Madrid and to separate them is nigh on impossible. But given the backroom strife at Bayern, particularly over Arjen Robben's injury, I'd narrowly go for Messi and Barcelona ending their four-year Champions League 'drought'. DOMINIC KING - Barcelona . To think at the start of the season, after Real Madrid pummelled them in the first Clasico, that we thought the beginning of the end had started. Now they look majestic once more and the front three of Messi, Neymar and Suarez gives them an edge over all their rivals. Hopefully it will be a straight shootout between them and Bayern Munich in Berlin. This is the best Champions League semi-final line-up ever and we might get the spectacular final to go with it. LEE CLAYTON - Juventus . Carlos Tevez, Paul Pogba and Gianluigi Buffon - experience, goals and know-how. Tevez isn't Messi (or Cristiano Ronaldo), Pogba isn't Thomas Muller and Buffon isn't Manuel Neuer: Yes, they are ugly bugs on a catwalk of super powers, but they CAN win this. After all, Denmark and Greece both won the Euros. Juventus celebrate their 1-0 aggregate victory over Monaco in the last eight of the Champions League . Juventus striker Carlos Tevez leads the scoring in Serie A this season with 18 goals . RIATH AL-SAMARRAI - Barcelona . Since it's been established that we don't live in a post-Messi (48 goals in 49 starts) world I can't bring myself to bet against him. Would love to see them in a final against Bayern Munich. CHRIS WHEELER - Bayern Munich . After that crushing 5-0 aggregate", "summary": "Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Real Madrid make up last four . Real Madrid are looking to retain their title and win for the 11th time . Barcelona have won three Champions Leagues since 2006 . Bayern Munich are five-time winners and last won at Wembley in 2013 .

Dazzling: French artist Vincent Lamouroux has painted a derelict motel in LA's trendy Silver Lake neighborhood completely white, even coating the palm trees .

Whether you are being rejected by a lover, an employer or a barman who serves a newly arrived regular customer before you, it\u2019s galling. And in every case there\u2019s nothing we can do about it. Nothing that doesn\u2019t carry a long prison sentence, anyway. It would take someone exceptionally optimistic and uncynical to propose an alternative thesis, and Jia Jiang is both of those. Born into a family of teachers, Jia Jiang was so determined to become an entrepreneur that, as a child in China, he dug a hole in the garden, intending to reach America by the shortest route. He eventually made the journey by conventional means, and found a good life there. Wife, children, several degrees, job in middle management. But he wasn\u2019t happy. He wanted to take risks, start his own company. It doesn't matter where it comes from - no one likes being rejected and in each and every case there\u2019s nothing we can do about it (picture posed by model) The problem was he inevitably encountered rejection, mainly from potential backers for his project (another iPhone app no one could possibly need or want). And each time, rejection felt like the end of the world. A successful entrepreneur needed to be more robust than this. So, having possibly read one self-help book too many, Jia Jiang decided to embark on his own rejection-proofing quest. Instead of avoiding rejection, he would spend 100 days deliberately seeking out situations in which he was likely to be rejected, film them and put them up on his blog. All of which seemed to me, at first glance, rather artificial. There have been any number of \u2018quest\u2019 books, in which humorous writers have gone round Ireland with a fridge, for example, less for the sake of doing it than to write a book about it. But Jia Jiang isn\u2019t a humorous writer. He may adopt a light-hearted tone, but his quest was deadly serious. On day one, he went up to a security guard and asked if he could borrow $100. The security guard said no, and Jia almost broke into a run to get away. Watching the video later, he said he looked like the man in Munch\u2019s The Scream. On day two, he went into a burger joint and, noticing a sign on the soft drinks machine saying \u2018Free refill\u2019, asked the cashier for a burger refill. The cashier said no. But as he continued his quest, Jia realised there were ways and ways of asking. Show confidence, inject a little bit of humour, be willing to negotiate and you might not get exactly what you want, but you might get something. So he walked into Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and asked for a set of five iced doughnuts, interlocking in the manner of the Olympic symbol. The woman behind the counter looked thoughtful. \u2018When are you looking for these?\u2019 she asked. \u2018In the next . . . 15 minutes?\u2019 \u2018Let me see what I can do,\u2019 she", "summary": "It doesn't matter where it comes from - no one likes being rejected .

The case report into the woman's treatment, published by the journal BMJ Case Reports, reveals Mr Gupta discovered a hole in the patient's macula, a part of the retina that is responsible for around 90 per cent of a person's vision. Dr Permesh Dhillon, a medical internist and colleague of Mr Gupta, said the woman's case reveals how important it is that medics check the vision of anyone struck by lightning. He told LiveScience: 'In the future, if patients are struck by lightning, it should be a routine process to refer them to an ophthalmologist to have an eye assessment.' He said the retina does not conduct electricity well, suggesting the injury was caused by the heat produced when the bolt struck. The woman was prescribed eye drops, but suffered an allergic reaction to them. She later underwent surgery to repair the hole in her macula, after two months of poor vision. Dr Permesh Dhillon, a medical internist at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston, said the heat from the lightning bolt is thought to have burned a hole in the woman's retina. It was eventually treated, via surgery . The operation involved removing the jelly part of the eye, which touches the retina, and injecting a gas bubble to push the layer at the back of the eye back together, Dr Dhillon said. He added his patient was 'quite fortunate in that only her retina was affected, and only in one eye'. Between 30 to 60 people each year are struck by lightning in the Uk. Meanwhile across the Atlantic, the US sees an average of 51 people injured by lightning each year. Only around 10 per cent of those struck by a bolt are killed. Dr Dhillon said there have been reports of lightning strikes affecting other parts of the eyes, resulting in cataracts, burns or swelling.", "summary": "Woman was struck by lightning in her car in Boston, Lincolnshire .

Brown III in North Bend, Oregon almost three weeks after she helped him break out of Lake Region Correctional Center, also known as Devils Lake, in North Dakota. 35-year-old Brown, who is married with children, was awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm - and is thought to have seduced single Chepulis while behind bars. Fugitive couple: Female prison guard Rachel Chepulis and felon Wesley E. Brown III have been captured in Oregon after she helped him escape from jail in North Dakota 19 days ago . His escape from Devils Lake on March 13., aided by Chepulis, is the second time he has broken out of a secure unit. In June 2013 he escaped from Heart of America Correctional Center, climbing over a fence at the prison's recreation area. On that occasion Brown was recaptured three hours later and transferred to Devils Lake prison, where he spent a considerable amount of time prior his second jail break in March. Dan Orr, chief deputy U.S. marshal for North Dakota, told the Daily News: 'It's clear in the time he was there they developed a relationship. That he was allowed to escape was assisted by the fact there were mistakes made by the jail. Caught: The pair managed to get 1,700 miles from the North Dakota jail before being captured in Oregon . 'He was classified at a lower level than he should have been considering he already escaped from another facility. And he had assistance from the female jailer. 'It was pretty clear the jail didn't realize what she had done. But once we began the investigation, we realized she had a direct involvement in the escape.' The Marshals Service relies on local jails to hold federal prisoners awaiting sentencing in North Dakota and during his time at Devils Lake, the convicted Brown must have befriended the single Chepulis, Mr Orr claimed. The fugitive couple was caught outside a Bi-Mart store in North Bend yesterday with the help of Oregon State Police, who tracked down Chepulis' 2015 Toyota Rav4 with North Dakota plates after a tip off from a nearby hotel. Chepulis, arrested as she returned to the vehicle, was found to have Brown's initials tattooed on her left ring finger. Married felon: Brown, who has a wife and childre, is thought to have befriended single Rachel Chepulis while locked up at Lake Region Correctional Center, also known as Devils Lake, in North Dakota, above . Brown is to face additional escape charges while Chepulis will be hit with instigating or assisting an escape, concealing a person from arrest and conspiracy to commit escape . Each charge carries a five-year prison sentence. The pair will be arraigned in Oregon, likely Thursday, and then held without bond as they face extradition to North Dakota.

Millions of motorists face spiralling parking fines after judges ruled yesterday that \u00a385 was not an 'excessively high' penalty for staying too long in a car park. Barry Beavis launched a legal bid to overturn his fine, saying it was unfair, disproportionate and unenforceable. But in a landmark ruling, appeal court judges decided the size of the fine was neither 'extravagant or unconscionable'. Motoring groups reacted in fury to the decision, accusing the judges \u2013 who are thought to earn more than \u00a3200,000 a year \u2013 of being 'out of touch'. Mr Beavis, from Chelmsford, Essex, had gone to court to fight what he called the 'bullying and threatening' private car park firms which heavily penalise motorists who overstay in parking spaces. The 48-year-old, who runs a fish and chip shop, got the \u00a385 fine in April 2013 when he overstayed by 56 minutes in a private car park at the Riverside Retail park in Chelmsford. The car park, run by parking firm ParkingEye Ltd, allowed two hours of free parking, but Mr Beavis stayed for three. He claimed the \u00a385 charge against him was disproportionate and vowed to fight the companies who 'extort money by threatening and bullying people into paying up'. But yesterday judges said the fine was enforceable because it was not 'excessively high'. Mr Beavis said he was 'absolutely furious' and planned to appeal. Meanwhile motoring groups said the ruling was a victory for the parking cowboys and would open the floodgates for unscrupulous profit-hungry firms 'falling over themselves' to ramp up the already hefty penalties they impose. Ian Taylor, of the Alliance of British Drivers, said: 'I think the judges are somewhat out of touch if they think \u00a385 isn't extravagant. 'An \u00a385 penalty may not seem much to a rich lawyer \u2013 it's probably less than many charge for an hour. But for the average hard-pressed motorist trying to make ends meet, it's a very heavy and unfair burden.' Professor Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, said the ruling would hand parking firms a 'blank cheque' to milk drivers, adding: 'This decision could cost motorists millions. 'If judges believe \u00a385 is not an extravagant amount then what is? \u00a3100? \u00a3200?

Hiroshi Ueda, a photographer who worked as an engineer for camera company Minolta, claims that he first invented the selfie stick in the 1980s. He said he came up with the idea after struggling to get pictures of himself and his wife together while they were in Europe. Scroll down for video . Hiroshi Ueda, holding his extender stick for taking 'selfies' which he patented in 1983 while working for Minolta . After having his camera stolen by a child he asked to take their picture in the Louvre Museum in Paris, he dreamed up a solution - an extendable stick with a tripod screw at the end. The 'extender stick', as he called it, was designed for use with new compact cameras that were being developed at the time. Whether taking in a spectacular panorama, visiting a famous landmark or watching a concert; the chances are your view has been ruined by a selfie stick on at least one occasion. Now the situation may be about to get a whole lot worse, because there\u2019s a next-generation stick that can grasp a tablet as well as a mobile phone. The contraption lets selfie addicts take photos of themselves using their iPad, ensuring they can capture the best possible duck pout or cheesy grin in their shots. The supersized stick is available on the website Accessory Geeks for just $23 (\u00a316), suggesting that they could be coming to a street near you soon. He added a mirror to the front of the camera so that photographers could see exactly what they were doing. Despite being patented in 1983, the extender stick failed to become a success - mainly due to the poor image quality it captured. But that did not stop Mr Ueda from compiling a family album of family 'selfies' using his device. Speaking to the BBC, he said: 'The idea of taking a picture of yourself was very new back then. 'The philosophy behind it was that I didn't need to rely on anyone else to take a photo - I could take a picture of myself whenever and wherever I liked.' Some 30 years later selfie sticks are now hugely popular - used by narcissists and celebrities everywhere to capture images of themselves in their surroundings. They have become such a menace that many tourist venues, museums, concert venues and stadiums have banned them. Perhaps ironically, Apple - the company that could be blamed for kickstarting the selfie phenomenon by putting a camera on the front of its phones in the first place - has also banned them from its next conference. Mr Ueda used his 'extender stick' to take pictures of himself with his family while on holiday in Europe (above) Modern versions of the extender stick allow a smartphone to be held aloft and use a remote trigger to take the photograph or video.

For nearly two years, the producer and host has been reporting on current issues across the globe and has covered everything from the detention center at Guantanamo Bay to the effect of climate change on polar bears - but nothing could have prepared her for the moment when someone offered to sell her a baby over dinner while she was working undercover in India. 'It was the most heartbreaking experience that I ever had,' Gianna told Daily Mail Online.

Shady deal: The journalist from Brooklyn, New York, went undercover to meet with an agent in India who offered to get her a baby in two to three months . But the heartbreak did not end there. As Gianna quickly learned during her time working on the Outsourcing Embryos documentary, surrogacy in India is a multi-million dollar business, and one which is made all the more lucrative by the high number of American couples traveling to the country in order to use the services provided by one or more of the \u2018embryo outsourcing\u2019 agencies featured in the Vice documentary. During her time spent undercover posing as one of these people, Gianna was informed that, in order to maximize profits and ensure a final product, doctors are encouraged to implant multiple embryos in surrogates, which can lead to the surrogate having to abort one of the fetuses or give birth to multiple babies. And if an 'extra' baby is born, it isn't necessarily going home with its genetic parents. There are also issues with couples never making it to India to claim their children for whatever reasons, meaning that the newborn baby is left without a parent. For the most recent episode in the Vice series, Gianna went undercover to meet with one surrogacy agent who claimed over dinner that she could get her a Caucasian baby in two to three months - confirming that there were in fact \u2018extra\u2019 babies being sold on the black market. The agent then tried to convince Gianna and her team to buy the baby that they had brought with them to the restaurant.

Cook and coach Peter Moores are under pressure to produce a result after drawing the first Test . The biggest reason England have not won away from home since 2012 is that they are lacking something different in their attack.

I don\u2019t like building players up before they have played Test cricket and then quickly passing judgment on them when they are given their chance but Wood seems to have that different trajectory which should suit overseas pitches.

The Dundee minister, who will become Moderator next month, made the remarks on his blog site The Wee Flea as the Church of Scotland prepares to hold the General Assembly 2015 in May. The Free Church has seen modest growth over six years, with about 13,000 people currently attending services. Mr Robertson said the Kirk is losing \u2018around 16,000 members per year\u2019. But the Church of Scotland yesterday hit back, saying it remains one of the country\u2019s \u2018largest and most robust organisations\u2019. Miss Hawksley said: \u2018There is another person in an order in London and she is 27 and we meet to chat. You are not on your own. It is an unusual life choice, but you are not the only one making it. There are plenty of people asking themselves the same questions.\u2019 She admitted some of her friends were \u2018a bit bewildered\u2019, but most had been very supportive. Far from being trapped in traditional habits, Miss Hawksley said her order tends to dress down in T-shirts and jeans.

In an Easter message to Christians, the Prime Minister insisted the Coalition had spent five years \u2018trying to lift people up\u2019 by making work pay and encouraging responsibility. \u2018Just because some people have disagreed with our policies, does not mean those policies are missing in moral content,\u2019 he insisted. Scroll down for video . Trip with George: Prime Minister David Cameron visited Marston's Brewery in Wolverhampton yesterday . Statement: In an Easter message to Christians, the Prime Minister insisted the coalition had spent five years 'trying to lift people up' by making work pay and encouraging responsibility . His intervention came as another senior Tory, chief whip Michael Gove, claimed Christians in Britain were being dismissed with a combination of condescension and suspicion. Six weeks ago, the Church provoked a row with ministers by publishing an unprecedented guide to how the country\u2019s 30million Christians should \u2018approach the General Election\u2019. Bishops insisted it was not targeted at any particular party, and criticised successive governments while calling for a \u2018fresh moral vision\u2019. But much of the 50-page document was widely interpreted as indirect criticism of the Coalition\u2019s welfare policies, which include a \u00a326,000-a-year cap on household benefits, a new universal credit designed to ensure people are always better off in work and tough sanctions to prevent people languishing on jobless benefits. The bishops complained that welfare claimants were \u2018described in terms that imply they are undeserving, dependent and ought to be self-sufficient\u2019. They insisted it was \u2018game-playing \u2026 to claim that anyone who cares about the impact of austerity on the most vulnerable members of society is\u2026 careless about the extent of national indebtedness\u2019. The Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Rev Justin Welby - pictured ahead of a service for the re-burial of Richard III at Leicester Cathedral last week - has seen the Church of England come under fire from the PM . Despite evidence that the best-off are paying more in tax than ever before, the bishops also complained that \u2018the greatest burdens of austerity have not been borne by those with the broadest shoulders\u2019. Official Treasury figures suggest that the richest 10 per cent of households are contributing most to deficit reduction. Archbishop of York John Sentamu blamed welfare cuts and 'poverty wages' for rising inequality . Speaking to Premier Christianity magazine, Mr Cameron said the \u2018values of the Christian faith are the values on which our nation was built\u2019. \u2018I\u2019m an unapologetic supporter of the role of faith in this country. And for me, the key point is this: the values of Easter and the Christian religion \u2013 compassion, forgiveness, kindness, hard work and responsibility \u2013 are values that we can all celebrate and share,\u2019 he added. Mr Cameron conceded he was not a model Christian and was \u2018a bit hazy on the finer points of our faith\u2019. \u2018But even so, in the toughest of times, my faith has helped me move on and drive forward.

He proved this yet again on Thursday, when his Napoli side blitzed past Europa League favourites Wolfsburg by four goals to one on the Germans' home turf. But despite managing some of the continent's most established clubs since leaving Valencia just over a decade ago - Liverpool, Inter, Chelsea (albeit on an interim basis) and Napoli - he has amassed a grand total of zero league titles. Benitez famously guided Liverpool to the Champions League in 2005 as he enjoyed cup successes . Benitez remains popular at Anfield, but when he left there were few regrets over his departure . Donovan Chandler is a Liverpool fan writer on 90min.com . At Anfield, we will be eternally grateful for the Champions League trophy he delivered in 2005, in spite of possessing what was, on paper at least, our worst accumulation of players in recent history. Djimi Traore, Antonio Nunez, Milan Baros and Igor Biscan - cult hero that he was - were all part of that unfathomably successful squad. All four were dispensed of either that summer or the one that followed. Two years after Instanbul, Benitez was (almost) at it again with a side that better resembled the one he would have wanted, though it wasn't quite good enough to overcome an improved AC Milan side on this occasion. For all the Spaniard's successes, he also brought in the hapless Djimi Traore and Czech forward Milan Baros . And although we ran Manchester United a close second two seasons after that, we actually ended up further away from the Premier League title than we had been in a number of years during his final campaign (2009-10) - a failure that signalled the end to an Anfield tenure that also yielded our last FA Cup. In between, he lumbered us with the Josemi's, Albert Riera's and Phillipp Degen's of this world; none of us had many regrets over his departure - except, of course, that it was the catalyst for our introduction to Roy Hodgson. Benitez won the FA Cup with Liverpool in 2006 on penalties against West Ham . With Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard playing well together, Benitez got close to the title, but never won it . And for all his moments, I fully believe we are on the right track again under Brendan Rodgers, even if we can't quite clutch that final Champions League spot this season - or miss out on the FA Cup. That's why, if Rafa returns to England again in the summer - as is being speculated due to Napoli's Serie A shortcomings this season - it will receive little more than a shrug from large sections of the Kop. His league failings mean he is unlikely to be sworn in at any of our top-four rivals, unless Manchester City need someone to keep the seat warm for their dream conquest Pep Guardiola.

But a week later, amid a crumbling and defeated Reich, Doenitz met with Allied commanders to sign the instrument of surrender, bringing an end to war in Europe. The following day Doenitz, who had been commander of the German navy up until Hitler's death, sent a telex message to his commanders in the field informing them of the immediate surrender 'to save as many people as possible for Germany'.

Diet Pepsi will no longer contain the sweetener aspartame due to customer fears over its safety. The controversial sweetener has been linked to a range of health problems, although research has shown it to be safe. PepsiCo said today it is dropping the ingredient from the popular drink in the U.S. in response to customer feedback. Diet Pepsi, Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi and Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi will now contain sucralose, another artificial sweetener commonly known as Splenda. The decision to swap sweeteners comes as after a decade of plummeting sales. Consumers have shifted away from diet drinks because of perceived health concerns about artificial sweeteners, specifically aspartame. The ingredient, used in fizzy drinks and diet products, has been at the centre of critical reports dating back decades linking it to everything from cancer to premature birth. This is despite the Food and Drug Administration stating that more than 100 studies support aspartame's safety. However these assurances have failed to convince some people, who continue to report adverse reactions, such as headaches and nausea after consuming foods containing the sweetener. The sweetener, which is about 200 times sweeter than sugar, is widely used to sweeten diet sodas. It is also used by rival Coca-Cola Co in its drinks such as Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Schweppes Diet Lemonade. In a statement today, PepsiCo said: 'Diet cola drinkers in the U.S. told us they wanted aspartame-free Diet Pepsi and we're delivering.' The reformulated drinks will begin appearing on shelves in August. Sales in PepsiCo's beverage business have been hurt by a long-term decline in soft drink sales in the United States. And Coca-Cola said this week that sales volume for Diet Coke fell 5 percent in North America in the first three months of the year. Executives at Coke and Pepsi blame the declines on perceptions that aspartame, first sold under the brand name Nutrasweet, is not safe. Consumers have shifted away from diet drinks because of perceived health concerns about artificial sweeteners, specifically aspartame . Despite aspartame's poor reputation, it has been ruled a safe food ingredient by food watchdogs in Britain, the EU, the USA and around the world. Last month, a study commissioned by Britain\u2019s food watchdog found eating the sweetener had no impact on the body or behaviour of people who claimed to be sensitive to it.

Yet for anyone staring at the heavens 98,000 year from now, the constellations could look very different indeed. Martin Vargic, a graphic designer from Slovakia, has created a chart that shows how the most famous of the constellations have changed from 50,000 BC to 100,000CE. Martin Vargic used satellite data to chart how the constellation stars have shifted and will change in the future . Using data collected by the European Space Agency on the gradually shifting position of stars, he has estimated how the constellations will change between. The results suggest that many of the most distinctive constellations will become almost unrecognisable in the future and some may need to be renamed entirely. Stars generate sounds on their surface in an unexpected way, according to new experimental evidence. Of course, as space is a vacuum it is impossible to hear sound in space, but the discovery reveals a new way that fluids can interact to produce a sound - one with an extremely high frequency. The researchers found that, when material - dust or gas from nearby - falls onto a star, it can produce an extremely high pitched sound in the plasma. The researchers said the phenomenon is 'more common in younger stars' that are still accumulating material from their surroundings. It would be less common in more mature stars, like our sun. The Big Dipper, for example, will change from looking like a plough to something that looks more like duck, while the proud form of Leo will mutate into an unrecognisable shape. Orion, named after the hunter in Greek mythology, will lose his head and the Crux will become little more than two parallel lines similar to an equals sign. Mr Vargic's chart also shows how some of the more abstract constellations, like Cassiopeia, were almost unrecognisable further back in human history when our ancestors were still living in caves. Lyra would also have faced completely the wrong way 52,000 years ago. Mr Vargic said: 'On a short timescale, stars appear to maintain nearly fixed positions in relation to each other, long term observations show that all stars indeed move and all constellations gradually change over time.' Astronomers have been recording the position of the stars since the Ancient Greeks, who believed the Earth was at the centre of the universe due to the apparent unchanging nature of the stars. This animation shows how the constellation Leo changed from 50,000BC to what it will look like in 100,000CE . The constellations were initially named after real life objects and mythical figures they appeared to represent and that tradition has continued. There are now 88 officially recognised constellations. In some cases ancient travelers used the constellations to help find their way at night. Now, using sophisticated observations from space telescopes like Hubble and the European Space Agency's Hipparcos satellite, scientists have been able to watch the movement of the stars. This has", "summary": "New charts show how the constellations will look 98,000 years in the future . Graphic designer Martin Vargic created the charts using observation data .

Cataract treatment is being rationed in England to save money, even though the NHS recently announced it would fund weight-loss surgery for 15,000 obese adults every year at a cost of \u00a36,000 each. Yesterday the Mail revealed how millions was being wasted on prescriptions for suncream and toothpaste. Many NHS trusts have imposed arbitrary rules to determine who is eligible for cataract treatment, and patients who cannot read, sew or watch television are routinely turned away. Those patients who do meet the strict criteria often have to wait eight months for treatment, over which time their eyesight deteriorates further and impairs basic tasks and hobbies. Freedom of Information responses from 78 hospital trusts in England obtained by the Mail found that 41 offered patients the opportunity to pay for cataract surgery themselves. The operation usually costs the NHS between \u00a3800 and \u00a3900 per eye, but some trusts are charging up to \u00a32,700. Campaigners accused hospitals of profiting from elderly patients.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that the accident in Mendocino County is the deadliest single incident involving abalone divers in recent memory.

+{"article": "It was heralded as the world\u2019s oldest musical instrument; a bone with two holes in it seemingly made by Neanderthals to serenade their companions. But now a study says it\u2019s not an instrument at all - but rather, simply a bone chewed by hyenas and left in a cave. The research suggests historians have been fooled by these phoney objects - and, in fact, all such \u2018instruments\u2019 attributed to Neanderthals are simply chew toys of animals. A researcher says a 'bone flute' found in Slovenia is not an instrument - instead, he says it is simply a bone chewed by a hyena with teeth marks. The bone is shown here, believed to be the oldest musical instrument discovered in Europe, on show in Ljubljana. The bone was discovered on 18 July 1995 in Slovenia . The latest analysis was conducted by Dr Cajus Diedrich from the Paleo-Logic Independent Institute of Geosciences. In a paper published in the Royal Society of Open Science, he took a look at several \u2018musical instruments\u2019 that had been attributed to Neanderthals. Neanderthals may have created and worn the world's first jewellery 130,000 years ago, according to scientists. Researchers examining eight talons taken from a white-tailed eagle found at Krapina in Croatia say they were used to create necklace or bracelet. The claws bear multiple cut marks, notches and signs that they had been polishing by the Neanderthals that once inhabited the site where they were found. Anthropologists at the University Kansas say the talons appear to have been made into symbolic jewellery 80,000 years before modern humans arrived in Europe. The findings add to evidence that Neanderthals were not the slow-witted and primitive creatures they are often portrayed as. One in particular, the Divje Babe Flute, is often said to be the world\u2019s oldest musical instrument. The cave bear femur, pierced with two holes, was found in 1995 at the Divje Babe Archaeological park near Cerkno in northwestern Slovenia. Dr Diedrich said analysis of the bone shows the holes are teeth marks, and the shape is just the result of the bone not breaking when it was chewed. In most caves, carnivore damage like this can be seen in about 20 per cent of animal remains and 80 per cent of bear cub remains. But while adult remains were often \u2018crushed to pieces\u2019, bear cubs often had certain patterns like this. \u2018These are not instruments, nor human made, but products of the most important cave bear scavengers of Europe, hyenas,\u2019 Dr Diedrich wrote. \u2018Hyenas left bones in repeating similar tooth mark and crush damage stages, demonstrating a butchering/bone cracking strategy. \u2018Hyenas produced round-oval puncture marks in cub femora only by the bone-crushing premolar teeth of both upper and lower jaw.\u2019 One instrument in particular, the Divje Babe Flute, is often said to be the world\u2019s oldest musical instrument.

The unusual occurrence is called a counter-peristalsis contraction. A hen releases an oocyte from her left ovary into her oviduct every 18 to 26 hours, Back Yard Poultry Mag explained.

The mother-of-four suffered a cardiac arrest at the scandal-hit North Manchester General Hospital in December. The 37-year-old's death came just months after three babies and one mother died at the maternity unit. The deaths, along with those of four babies and two mothers at the Royal Oldham Hospital prompted an investigation. Today Ms Hindle's partner Chris Barnes and his sister Karen have called for action to prevent further tragedies. Chris Barnes, whose partner Lianne Hindle died three hours after giving birth to their daughter Poppy (pictured with brothers Zac and Louie), is calling for action to prevent further tragedies at North Manchester General Hospital . The 40-year-old father-of-four said: 'Something has to be done. It isn't right. 'This is still happening. Maternity units are supposed to be the safest places to have babies.' Mr Barnes, who suffers with cerebral palsy, has been left to care for the couple's three-month-old daughter Poppy, and her three brothers, Morgan, 15, Zac, nine, and Louie, seven. North Manchester General and the Royal Oldham Hospital called in independent experts to review its maternity units after the spate of 10 deaths in the eight-month period from December 2013 to July last year. Ms Hindle, from Bury, died in December - her death falling outside the scope of the investigation. She went into labour at almost 35 weeks pregnant, in the early hours of December 15. The expectant mother was scheduled to give birth at St Mary's Hospital, which has a specialist intensive care baby unit, after suffering two previous stillbirths, and three premature pregnancies. But she was taken to North Manchester General by ambulance instead, after it became clear she was going to give birth before she could get to St Mary's. This is the only picture Ms Hindle's family have of her holding daughter Poppy . Immediately after welcoming baby Poppy shortly after 2am, Mr Barnes said his partner appeared 'fine', holding the newborn and naming her. But just an hour later, she started to feel unwell - complaining that she was 'red hot'. Ms Barnes described how Ms Hindle started to look 'deathly white', and felt cold and clammy to touch, before her eyes began rolling back in her head. Her blood pressure and heart rate plummeted as her condition deteriorated and she died at around 6am after suffering a cardiac arrest. Ms Barnes said the family has concerns about the care Ms Hindle received, claiming she was left alone with a student midwife following the birth, once the placenta had been delivered. 'Lianne was repeatedly talking of how red hot she was, asking for a fan and the windows to be opened,' Ms Barnes said. 'The student midwife said that was normal after having a baby and wafted her with a sick bowl. 'I didn't see Lianne's temperature taken once.' Ms Barnes claimed at one point, a member of staff came into the room and asked the student midwife: 'Who are you supposed to be with?'", "summary": "Lianne Hindle suffered a cardiac arrest at North Manchester General . 37-year-old died three hours after giving birth to baby Poppy .

Intended to demonstrate technologies for future deep-space missions, AIM will also be the Agency's very first investigation of planetary defence techniques. Launched in October 2020, AIM will travel to a binary asteroid system \u2013 the paired Didymos asteroids, which will come a comparatively close 11 million km to Earth in 2022. The 800 m-diameter main body is orbited by a 170 m moon, informally called 'Didymoon'. This smaller body is AIM's focus: the spacecraft will perform high-resolution visual, thermal and radar mapping of the moon to build detailed maps of its surface and interior structure. AIM will also put down a lander \u2013 ESA's first touchdown on a small body since Rosetta's Philae landed on a comet last November. Two or more CubeSats will also be dispatched from the mothership to gather other scientific data in the vicinity of the moon.

A similar collision was achieved back in 2005, when NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft shot a copper impactor into asteroid Tempel 1. But the Didymos moon is several tens of times smaller than Tempel 1, so much greater precision will be required to strike it \u2013 and the possibility of altering its orbit should be correspondingly higher. The Didymos moon is nearly three times larger than the body thought to have caused the 1908 Tunguska impact in Siberia, the largest impact in recorded history.

According to the 45 tweets sent by Ms Dreger during the lesson, stories included people who lost all their friends when they became pregnant, people who fell into comas for 11 years after taking drugs and high school dropouts.

She added: 'I feel like raising my hand and saying \"Can I tell my sexual history, which involves a lot of pleasure before and during marriage?\"' Ms Dreger also complained of the incorrect information being handed to the students, who are freshmen in high school, by the teacher, who did not normally work at the school. At one point, paper babies were handed around the class to show how 'easily' condoms fail: the teacher claimed they were ineffective one in six times. \"We are going to roll this dice eight times,' Ms Dreger reported the teacher as saying.

A hospital operator has denied allegations of poor training and improper preparation in seeking dismissal of a lawsuit by a nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for the first U.S. patient to die from the deadly disease. Texas Health Resources filed a response on Friday to the March 2 lawsuit by nurse Nina Pham, The Dallas Morning News reported Saturday. Pham, who remains employed at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas but has not returned to work, seeks unspecified damages in her lawsuit. A man visiting Dallas from Liberia, Thomas Eric Duncan, died October 8 at the hospital. Pham and another nurse caring for Duncan contracted Ebola but survived. Texas Health Resources spokesman Wendell Watson said in a statement Friday that the company and the hospital acted responsibly to protect their employees, basing their responses on the most up-to-date federal guidelines and with leading experts at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. The hospital also respected Pham's privacy and acted only with her consent, the statement said. A doctor on October 16 videotaped Pham, who was in a hospital bed, in images later made public. 'Nina Pham has gone through the unprecedented challenge of being the first nurse to whom the Ebola virus was transmitted while caring for a patient with Ebola in the U.S.,' the statement said. A doctor video taped Nina Pham while she was in her hospital bed on October 16 and images (pictured) were later made public. The hospital says it respected Pham's privacy and only acted with her consent . 'Our care and compassion for Nina is paramount, and we will continue to show her the utmost courtesy, dignity and respect as a member of the Texas Health family,' the statement continued.

A federal jury in Salt Lake City on Thursday awarded more than $270,000 to Marcia Eisenhour after finding that former Justice Court Judge Craig Storey violated her right to equal protection. The jury found Storey liable for some $240,000 of the damages and the county liable for the rest. Storey wrote in 2007, 'I'd love to harvest your sweet grapes,' and called Eisenhour the 'most gorgeous thing alive.' Storey was a judge for Weber County Justice Court from 1984 until 2010, when a new Ogden Justice Court (pictured) opened and took over the county's caseload . Utah's Standard Examiner reported that the 'semi-erotic love poem' was 11 pages long. Storey testified that he never intended for her to find or read the poem. Crucial to the case was a meeting Ms Eisenhour had with the Court Judge in July 2008 after she had seen the love note. Storey was said to have asked whether she was in a relationship and where she was going on holiday. For Ms Eisenhour this proved the 'last straw' as far as his possessiveness of her was concerned. Storey claimed his worries related to Ms Eisenhour's weight-loss, recent job performance and absences. He said he was going to have to change her work hours because of complaints from other court staff. Eisenhour said her absences were her attempts to avoid the judge. Storey was a judge for Weber County Justice Court from 1984 until 2010, when a new Ogden Justice Court opened and took over the county's caseload. Eisenhour was a court employee for over 25 years. Eisenhour's attorney April Hollingsworth said she suspected the case was not over, that Storey's and the county's lawyers have indicated they would be filing motions for a new trial.", "summary": "Judge pays $240,000 damages after he wrote semi-erotic poem for clerk .

McCoy did not need to be reminded for whom it tolled. He knew it tolled for him. He obeyed the signal for the jockeys to mount. He walked alongside Box Office, the final ride of his astonishing career, and then clambered into the saddle. The tears streamed down his face but he pulled down his goggles so that nobody would see.

The last race of McCoy\u2019s career, the bet365 Handicap Hurdle, was won by Richard Johnson, 15 times a runner-up to McCoy in the jockeys\u2019 championship. The two men are great friends but this was one small act of revenge for 20 years of being a bridesmaid. McCoy, 40, finished third. He pushed Box Office all the way to the line and took the congratulations of his fellow jockeys as they and their horses milled around him. He was about to head towards the winner\u2019s enclosure when he was ushered back along the track. Now the emotion really bit. McCoy and Box Office trotted back in front of the stands packed with 18,000 cheering fans. One man and his horse. There was something wonderfully moving about the tribute. Maybe it was just its simplicity. An old gunslinger was riding off into the sunset. The champion jockey was joined by his wife Channelle, daughter Eve and son Archie on his last day of racing . In the winner\u2019s enclosure, he dismounted amid scarcely controlled chaos.

The agreement with Tebow, 27, stemming from a framework that was put into place when he worked out with the team last month, has been finalized, reports say. Tebow's last regular-season NFL game appearance was in December 2012 with the New York Jets, from which he was released in 2013 having thrown only eight passes and run just 32 times in his lone season on the team.

He will join the team just in time for the start of the off-season program . Though Tebow hasn't been a part of an NFL organization since 2013, he spent the last two season training with noted throwing coach Tom House, who also worked with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady . The New England Patriots made Tebow one of their final roster cuts in 2013 and he spent last year as a college gridiron television commentator when no NFL team wanted him. Prior to agreeing to sign Tebow, the Eagles wanted to trade backup quarterback Matt Barkley, but couldn't get enough in return, Schefter said in a Facebook post. The Eagles decided to still bring Tebow on to the roster so he could be present for the team's whole off-season program. It was originally reported after his training session with the Eagles that Tebow would not be joining the team. But now he will join a crowded quarterback roster, which included Sam Bradford, March Sanchez and Barkley. Tim Tebow's last regular-season NFL game was with the New York Jets in 2012 . Not only will this give Philadelphia three former first-round picks at the quarterback position and another decorated college player, but it will also reunited Tebow and Sanchez, who were teammates when they both were on the Jets roster. Tebow's pursuit of being an NFL quarterback is back on, after being on hold since being cut from the Patriots. 'I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback,' Tebow wrote on Twitter after he was released by New England, according to Schefter. Since then, Tebow spent two full seasons training with noted throwing coach Tom House, who also worked with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. He has also been working for ESPN and as an analyst for the SEC Network. Tebow has an 8-6 record as an NFL starting quarterback with a career 48-per cent completion rate for 2,422 yards with 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly has made several off-season moves this year. His remake of the Eagles' roster has included trading star running back LeSean McCoy to Buffalo, then signing Offensive Player of the Year DeMarco Murray to replace him.

Beautician Chernae Noonan, who founded eyebrow shaping business The Brow Bar, has blocked the cosmetic giant's application to trademark the phrase. BeneFit is owned by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH), which is run by luxury goods tycoon Bernard Arnault. Australian beautician Chernae Noonan founded eyebrow shaping business The Brow Bar in 2003 . Mr Arnault's estimate wealth is thought to be $37.4 billion and makes him the second richest person in France, according to Forbes. The case between Ms Noonan and BeneFit was heard in the Australian Trade Marks Office earlier this year in February and ruled in the Queensland woman's favour. Ms Noonan started her business in 2003 in her Springwood home and since then it has seen 'significant growth'. She has rolled out six stores across Australia - including on the Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne. She has stopped BeneFit Cosmetics from using 'Brow Bar' exclusively after the company launched an application to trademark the term in Australia . The Brow Bar services 'women of relatively high disposable income aged 25 to 55' along with a small group of men. Ms Noonan took action against BeneFit when the cosmetics giant sought to trademark 'Brow Bar' in Australia in 2011. BeneFit is owned by luxury goods company LVMH, which is run by the world's 13th richest billionaire, Bernard Arnault (pictured) She said customers would confuse her business, The Brow Bar, with BeneFit Brow Bar at Myer stores in Western Australia, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria. According to the ruling, Ms Noonan said journalists, media writers and online forum contributors often confused the two. Lawyers for BeneFit told the Australian Trade Marks Office the company had already trademarked the term in Hong Kong and Mexico, and had been using the name in its United States stores since 2003. Hearing officer Nicole Worth said she did not consider the word 'Brow Bar' to be used commonly enough to be deemed as 'generic' as lawyers for BeneFit argued. She added the addition of the word 'BeneFit' to 'Brow Bar' also did not help differentiate the cosmetic giant's services from Ms Noonan's business. 'Additionally, although [BeneFit] did not know of [Ms Noonan's] trademark when it adopted the phrase \"browbar\" in the USA, it is reasonable to expect that it ought to have checked the Australian market for conflicting trade marks before entering it,' Ms Worth said. 'It also continued to expand its business under the [trademark] in the knowledge that a prior conflicting mark was registered and being used... That it did so is a risk it chose to bear.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ms Noonan for further comment but she did not wish to as BeneFit is appealing the decision. A statement on the matter has also been sought from the cosmetics brand.", "summary": "Owner Chernae Noonan stopped BeneFit Cosmetics from using 'Brow Bar' The Queenslander said her business was often mistaken as beauty giant's .

While I hate to use social media as a gauge of opinions, Raheem Sterling\u2019s interview didn\u2019t go down well at all. It was ill-timed and, regardless of what Sterling and his agent hoped, he didn\u2019t come across very well. Some of his answers only fuelled the fire really.

Even her Twitter profile picture was dragged into the row: it showed her on her Blackberry apparently sending emails while en route to Libya in September 2011. But there is no record of any emails on her official account that day - and she has since removed the picture from her account. Clinton has confirmed that she exclusively used her private account, calling it a matter of 'convenience', admitting to deleting thousands of emails. Clinton, however, has insisted every relevant email was now in the hands of the State Department. But critics say by using her personal email account, she has avoided scrutiny. The presidential hopeful handed over 55,000 emails sent from her personal email account between 2009 and 2013 - her time as Secretary of State - but it is not yet known what they contained. However, it has already been claimed that the documents have 'huge gaps'. Shadow: Clinton is likely to want to play down this latest revelation as she begins campaigning in Iowa .

The novelist, who died in 2014 aged 90, amassed a spectacular collection of Greek, Egyptian and Roman jewellery during her lifetime, among them pieces up to 3,500 years old. Now the collection is to go under the hammer, with auctioneers saying they expect the exquisite pieces to fetch up to \u00a320,000. Collector: Elizabeth Jane Howard, pictured with Kingsley Amis, collected ancient jewellery . Howard, a former model who became the second wife of Lucky Jim novelist Kingsley Amis in 1965, adored historic jewellery and, despite its great age, was regularly photographed in it. 'Unlike many collectors who prefer to display their treasures, Elizabeth Jane Howard held the view that jewellery was made to be used,' explains Madeleine Perridge, head of antiquities at Bonhams. 'She took great pleasure in wearing beautiful objects that had been worn by women thousands of years ago.' The nine lots, which will go under the hammer at Bonhams auction house in London on Thursday, include rings, bracelets, pendants and earrings. Among the most striking is a gold Roman bracelet made from three gold wires twisted into a spiral design, which has a reserve price of \u00a35,000. Spectacular: This Roman bracelet, which is made from twisted strands of gold, is expected to fetch \u00a35,000 . Beautiful: This pair of earrings are 2,400 years old and are part of a collection thought to be worth \u00a320,000 .

A pair of Hellenistic gold hoop earrings, which are thought to be around 2,400 years old, are expected to fetch \u00a32,000. There is also a gold pendant depicting Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, with Eros, the Greek god of love hovering above her right shoulder. The piece is set with a cabochon garnet, a nod to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine-making, festivities and fertility, and is likely to have been presented to its original owner as a love token or wedding gift. Oldest of all the items is a pair of Egyptian gold hair rings which have been dated to somewhere between 1550-1295 BC, and are being sold as part of a lot that includes a pair of Roman earrings. Howard, who was born in 1923, started her career as an actress and model but shot to fame in 1950 when her debut novel, The Beautiful Visit, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. Subsequent novels included Three Miles Up and Other Strange Stories, Something in Disguise and Getting it Right, although it is the Cazalet Chronicles for which she is best known. The epic six-novel saga charts the fortunes of the eponymous Cazalets, beginning in 1937 as the Second World War looms. Ending in the 1950s, the series has also been described as being a slice of social history and chronicles the changing fortunes of the aristocracy as they face up to a democratic post-war world.

Now an Israeli team of developers has built a 'thermal protection' case that not only warns you when your phone is getting too hot, it will automatically cool it down. Called Amited, the case uses micro-fans to blow heat away from the device, or can heat a phone using resistance coils if it gets too cold. Scroll down for video . The Optimal case (pictured) was designed by Israel-based Amited. Sensors in the case monitor the phone's temperature and if it gets too hot, Optimal will cool the device using two built-in micro-fans. And if it gets too hot, Optimal engages its Anti-Freeze protection mode to gently heat the phone using resistance coils . The recommended storage temperature for most batteries is 15\u00b0C (59\u00b0F), while the 'extreme allowable' temperature is 40\u00b0C to 50\u00b0C (40\u00b0C to 122\u00b0F). Studies have found that a phone is most efficient when it's between 0\u00b0 and 35\u00b0C (32\u00b0F to 95\u00b0F), and keeping it as near room temperature as possible (22\u00b0 C or 72\u00b0F ) is ideal.

The Tory leader vowed to cut the number below 100,000 'no ifs, no buts', but latest figures show the number hit 298,000 in the year to September. In an interview today Mrs Morgan admitted it is a 'big issue' for voters and revealed she has asked the Department for Education to examine the impact on schools. It is expected to look at how migrant children perform in exams and how schools with large immigrant populations cope. Mrs Morgan told the Sunday Telegraph: 'I think there is pressure in the classrooms in terms of teaching \u2014 how prepared [immigrant] children are when they start school. Ofsted chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw last year warned schools had faced an 'influx' of immigrants . 'It would be wrong to say immigration holds results back or affects overall qualifications ultimately. But at the start of primary school, especially, it means that teachers have to tailor their lessons, to spend longer with pupils who have English as a second language. 'We are looking at that in the Department \u2014 exactly mapping the pressures, what teachers have to do, the resources that takes. I am very keen to know.' She added that she wanted to ensure that migrant children have caught up with other pupils before the end of the Year 1, aged six or seven. In October last year, Ofsted chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw was challenged about the increased worked of teachers caused by a large number of children who could not speak English. Sir Michael said: 'Schools need the resources to deal with that. 'When they're faced with an influx of children from other countries, they need the resources and capacity to deal with it, and if those resources aren't there, that's a big issue for government.

Net long-term migration to the UK was estimated to be 298,000 in the year ending September 2014, a major rise on the 210,000 figure a year earlier .

In an article by The Australian written on Monday, Jim Carroll, the News and Current Affairs Director of SBS, was reported to be taking a more 'commercial' approach to the network by hiring 'good-looking, female, Anglo-Celtic' journalists. While Carroll denies he is hiring based on these standards, many of the journalists hired since his appointment in 2013 have fit the above bill. 'Never mind the fact that I work damned hard': SBS reporter Ellie Laing has launched a scathing attack on an article in The Australian that suggested she and other journalists were hired for being young, white and female . Ellie Laing, SBS news reporter who was hired by Carroll, has now hit back at claims she was hired for her beauty over her brains in an open letter to critics. 'When a compliment suggesting I might be, in some way \u201cattractive,\" I\u2019ll take it, with delight,' she wrote in an open letter circulated to several news outlets. 'What I won\u2019t take is a suggestion that because I'm \u201cattractive\u201d, white and a woman it somehow detracts from the credibility and substance of the news service I work for.' Laing also wrote that despite a near decade of experience, hard work, established contacts and a regular six day week gig working as a journalism teacher at Macleay College on the side, none of this was taken into account. Diversity: The SBS was criticised for hiring young attractive reporters, with Sarah Abo one of the journalists mentioned in the article . 'In my case it didn't mention the near decade of experience I could bring to the newsroom after enjoying a long career across radio and TV at the ABC, Seven and Ten. Never mind the fact that I work damned hard.' The article also commented on the SBS content taking a more 'fluffy' lifestyle approach , which Laing shot back at by insisting a need for an inclusion of the arts and a more balanced approach to hard news. Beyond the affront on her looks, credibility and the content, Laing made sure to clear up one thing - she was hired for passion, not because she 'scrubs up alright.' Alyshia Gates is another of the SBS journalists whose position were questioned by The Australian . Finishing her letter with a fiery response for The Australian journalist behind the controversial article, Laing said: 'If he\u2019d watched the bulletin a bit closer he would have seen I\u2019ve changed my name to Ellie Laing (too).

The ads all ended with Lowe saying: 'Don't be like this me \u2014 Get rid of cable and upgrade to DirecTV.'

Other issues included the 'superiority message' of Lowe's closing phrase, as well as DirecTV's 'rated No. 1 claim' and another that stated that it has been 'ranked higher than cable for over 10 years.' The NAD also recommended that DirecTV 'either discontinue the price claim featured in the \"Scrawny Arms Rob Lowe\" commercial or modify it to reflect the price of a package that included the sports programming featured in the commercial.'

Former BBC economics editor Stephanie Flanders yesterday broke her silence over her fling with Ed Miliband, describing it as 'fleeting and very costly'. She made headlines last week after it emerged she had been \u2018secretly\u2019 dating the Labour leader when he first met his wife Justine in 2004. In a brief message on Twitter yesterday she said: \u2018We \u201cdated\u201d fleetingly in 2004. Very costly few weeks it turns out\u2019. It was unclear whether Miss Flanders was voicing regret over her relationship with Mr Miliband, or was embarrassed by the media coverage \u2013 or both. Miss Flanders, 46, accused the media of \u2018raking over\u2019 Mr Miliband\u2019s past in the run-up to the election. But in fact the revelation about the timing of her relationship with the future Labour leader was revealed by Mrs Miliband during a soft-focus interview with the Labour-supporting Mirror newspaper, which was headlined \u2018How I fell in love with Ed\u2019. Mrs Miliband revealed the couple had first met at a London dinner party hosted by Miss Flanders in 2004. She recalled: \u2018I thought he was good-looking and clever and seemed to be unattached. But we just went down a conversation cul-de-sac. Apparently we had nothing in common. \u2018He just wanted to talk about economics \u2013 one of my least favourite subjects. None of our conversations went anywhere.\u2019 Mrs Miliband said she had been \u2018furious\u2019 when she later found out that her future husband was not \u2018unattached\u2019 at all and was \u2018secretly going out with\u2019 the woman who had invited her to dinner. She did not name Miss Flanders. But Tony Blair\u2019s biographer John Rentoul later revealed it was common knowledge in Labour circles that the BBC woman had hosted the dinner party. Mr Rentoul said: \u2018Could the secrecy have been because he was a Treasury special adviser and Stephanie Flanders was a BBC economics journalist?\u2019 The revelations also revived stories about Miss Flanders\u2019s former relationship with Labour\u2019s shadow chancellor Ed Balls, which is said to have been more serious than her fling with Mr Miliband. Miss Flanders, daughter of Michael Flanders of the musical comedy duo Flanders and Swann, met Mr Balls in 1989 at Harvard University where they were both Kennedy scholars. They later worked together as leader writers at the Financial Times. Miss Flanders, 46, accused the media of \u2018raking over\u2019 Mr Miliband\u2019s past in the run-up to the election.

Government officials have repeatedly insisted there is no evidence to support universal screening for Group B Strep, known as GBS. This is despite the fact it is carried by one in four women and infects as many as 400 newborns in the UK every year. One in ten will die. Current guidelines only recommend testing women deemed to be 'at risk'. Scroll down for video . Belinda Bowman, 37, lost her daughter Lily after she contracted GBS during labour and developed meningitis and septicaemia. She was just three days old . But a programme which offered screening to all expectant women at Northwick Park NHS hospital in North-West London resulted in not a single case of the bacteria spreading to infants among those who were tested and subsequently treated with antibiotics. The only recorded cases during the 12-month programme affected babies of women who had not agreed to be tested. Crucially, clinicians noted that half of the women who tested positive for GBS would not have been classified as 'at risk' under the current guidelines \u2013 so their babies would not have been protected. The UK National Screening Committee carried out a review in 2012 in collaboration with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the Royal College of Midwives and NHS England. It concluded that not all women who test positive for GBS will go on to develop the infection or pass it on to their babies, so blanket screening would mean pregnant women would be unnecessarily given antibiotics, which carry their own risks to the foetus. Some studies link antibiotics used in pregnancy and labour to obesity and asthma. In premature babies an increased risk of cerebral palsy has been associated with use of some antibiotics in labour. Yet these results confound the decision, prompting calls for the Government to introduce universal testing for pregnant women during standard ante-natal appointments, as is the case in Germany, France and the US.

'I think the chairman wants to go that way because we need to keep that stability at the club for the long term,' Ramsey said.

For one, it would represent his biggest tournament win since taking the Wimbledon title in 2013, irrefutable proof that he is back towards his best.

Even more remarkably, Djokovic has won his past nine finals at these Masters-level events, which are one tier down from the Grand Slams. Murray allowed himself to get befuddled by the world No1\u2019s histrionics in the Australian Open final, and then played a plain bad match when thrashed by him in their Indian Wells semi-final last month.

He was then on hand when Ukuma Ta'ai, who also scored twice, caught and off-loaded a kick from Danny Brough on 37 minutes. In-form winger Aaron Murphy scored twice in a seven-try romp as Huddersfield beat Catalans Dragons . Former Wakefield Wildcats star Murphy, 27, has now scored six tries in his last five appearances. Having fallen behind Catalans hit back to lead 8-6 - with scrum-half Scott Dureau bagging all of their points. He scored a try on 21 minutes when Elliot Whitehead passed inside after a solo dash past two players split the Giants defence. Dureau converted and then added a penalty goal on 24 minutes for a poor shoulder charge on him by Joe Wardle. Wardle was restored to the Giants line-up after being suspended for last week's defeat by St Helens for a dangerous throw on Ben Cockayne. Huddersfield responded with three tries in 10 minutes at the end of the first half - and it could have been more. Connor nearly put Murphy in again down the left on 27 minutes while Leroy Cudjoe was held up on the right flank after Brough's break from deep. In between Ta'ai pounced for a try when a Dragons defender fumbled a high kick from Brough on 30 minutes. Scotland star Brough, whose kicking caused problems for the visitors all game, was at it twice more before half-time. His kick led to Murphy's second try and then another Brough bomb was dropped on the hooter by a defender and Cudjoe pounced. Brough, who took his tally to 58 points for the season with three earlier conversions, this time hit the post. Huddersfield led 22-8 at the break, with the sides trading tries after the restart as Catalans narrowed the gap to 26-14. Julian Bousquet scored a converted try on 45 minutes while Jermaine McGillvary went over at the other end eight minutes later. There was controversy on 62 minutes when a simmering feud between Cudjoe and Willie Tong boiled over. The pair seemed to exchange words and former NRL star Tong responded by appearing to headbutt Cudjoe right in front of referee Robert Hicks. Tong was sin-binned and Cudjoe got a verbal warning in the presence of Giants skipper Brough. Huddersfield took full advantage of the extra man by running in two quick tries, first from Ta'ai a minute later and then Scott Grix on 65 minutes. There was no further score, but Louis Anderson lost his temper late on as Huddersfield defensively shut the game down.", "summary": "Aaron Murphy scored twice as Huddersfield ended three-match losing run .

Fourteen soldiers dispatched to restore order after a 2013 coup have been accused of abusing children as young as nine as they begged for something to eat, according to a French judicial source. The investigation has been underway since last year but was only made public yesterday. The French president today said: 'If some soldiers have behaved badly, I will show no mercy.' President Francois Hollande has vowed to 'show no mercy' if French peacekeepers in Central African Republic are found guilty of raping hungry children in exchange for food . The French defence ministry has vehemently denied covering up the scandal following revelations it was made aware of the allegations in July last year when it received a leaked UN report on the subject. The ministry said it immediately launched a probe into the case when it received the news, sending investigators to the former French colony on August 1. A defence ministry spokesman urged 'great caution' because the accusations have not yet been proven, adding: 'There is no desire to hide anything. 'We are not hiding the facts, we are trying to verify the facts.' The abuse reportedly took place at a centre for displaced people near Bangui airport between December 2013 and June 2014. Paula Donovan, co-director of advocacy group AIDS-Free World, saw the report. A French soldier taking part in 'Operation Sangaris' stands guard at the Boali church as people sit on the floor . She said: 'The children were saying that they were hungry and they thought that they could get some food from the soldiers. 'The answer was \"if you do this, then I will give you food\".' Of the six children testifying against the soldiers, four say they were direct victims of sexual abuse while two others witnessed it, the French judicial source revealed. The UN employee accused of the leak, Anders Kompass, turned the report over to French authorities because his bosses had failed to take action and has since been suspended, The Guardian reported.

+{"article": "Psychologists and wellness experts have long-known that we're at our happiest when we're doing the things we love. But, according to one new study, a third of Australian women are not finding time for their hobbies and passions. The survey of 1,025 Australian parents, conducted by Officeworks, found that more women had foregone personal interests for work commitments or to finance 'more important' things in the last week, than had men. The cost, says clinical psychologist and Happiness Institute wellness expert Dr Paula Watkins, will be our happiness - and potentially that of our children. According to a recent study of more than 1,000 Australian parents, a third of Australian women are not finding time for their hobbies, choosing work and 'more important things' over their passions . 'We know that we tend to gravitate towards hobbies and interests that use our best strengths but a lot of the other things we do in our lives, including work, do not,' Dr Watkins told Daily Mail Australia. 'This is why it's so important for us to consciously do more of the things that bring us joy.' Dr Watkins says changing work spaces and technology do contribute to stress and brain overload. 'We know that we\u2019re filling life with more info, we know that technology has so many pros - but the information we\u2019re exposed to grows exponentially,' she says. 'We have to look at how we can break up a day at work because its abnormal for a brain to focus on a screen for 8 plus hours a day.' 'Remember the brain is wired to pay attention, the brains will just keep processing information to the point of exhaustion, so we actually have to take more care of ourselves. Otherwise, we run the risk of over-stressing our brains, by actually not doing very much.' Clinical psychologist and Happiness Institute Wellness Expert Dr Paula Watkins says its important to create space for the things we love to be happy . One interesting finding to come out of the recent survey, Dr Watkins says, is that twenty per cent of women are inspired to start new hobbies through social media. 'Being inspired is a great thing, so long as that translates into our real lives,' she says. 'If it doesn't, it can actually add another layer of stress.' 'What we're seeing is that women could actually be more inspired than ever before, right at the time that we're also more time poor.' So how can we create more space in our lives for the things we love? Dr Watkins says its important to be pragmatic. 'We have to look at our lives and ask: \"what can go?\"' she says. 'It's not about loading more onto our lives, we've all done that, if we're going to add something in, something else has to go, or we're just going to feel overloaded.' Spending time doing things you love with friends has the advantage of the 'accountability' factor, Dr Watkins says. Dr Watkins also emphasises the importance of being organised. 'Get prepared,' she says. 'Whatever your hobby", "summary": "A third of Australian women are not making time for hobbies and passions .

Resignation: Undersheriff Tim Albin (pictured), of the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office in Oklahoma, quit his job Monday after new revelations about how the department treated elderly killer, reserve deputy Robert Bates . In the tide of scrutiny which followed the incident, it emerged that other deputies in the department had expressed concern about his fitness to serve, but were told to hold their tongues. Bates, a millionaire insurance broker, had made substantial donations to the department in previous years.

The former head of the reserve deputy program, Sergeant Randy Chapman, told the investigator that Albin chastised him after he questioned Bates' performance.

The bail hearing revealed that Kyhesha-Lee suffered blows to her stomach causing severe bowel damage- ultimately leading to her death. The bail hearing revealed Kyesha-Lee succumbed to massive bowel injuries after being struck days before her death . Kyhesha-Lee was in the care of her father Matthew Lee Williamson and Christopher Arthur Neville Kent who have both been charged with manslaughter and child cruelty. Crown prosecutor Vicki Loury alleged the toddler also suffered a penetrative injury to her vagina three days before her death. She was not seen of or heard of by anyone else in the five days prior to her death, although another man visited the home the night before Kyhesha-Lee died. 'She was by that stage in severe distress, extremely unwell,' Ms Loury told the court. Kyhesha-Lee Joughin was allegedly locked in a bedroom by her father, forcing her to defecate and urinate in the room . Kyhesha-Lee's body was found days after she suffered the blows - allegedly in squalid surroundings - at the unit she shared with her father in Petrie, north of Brisbane, on March 30, 2013. Kent, 46, was granted bail in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday after the court heard he'd offered to plead guilty on the basis of criminal negligence. Williamson allegedly locked his daughter in the bedroom while he slept during the day, forcing her to defecate and urinate in the room. Her father Matthew Lee Williamson and his friend Christopher Arthur Neville Kent, who also lived in the house and cared for the child in the days prior to her death, are each charged with manslaughter and child cruelty. They have both been released on bail . Evidence of the child's blood had been found on Kent's shorts. 'It was a small unit, he must have been aware of what was happening with the child,' Ms Loury said. Chief Magistrate Ray Rinaudo agreed with Kent's barrister Soraya Ryan that the accused no longer presented a risk of fleeing or re-offending on bail.

He says the organisms test positive for DNA, and have masses that are 'six times bigger than the size limit of a particle which can be elevated from Earth to this height.' Dr Milton Wainwright has been trying to convince academics that he has found aliens in Earth's stratosphere for several years. Pictured are one of the so-called 'ghost particles' that the researcher claims to be proof of extraterrestrial life forms. His views have been widely dismissed by the scientific community . The organisms, he claims, are contained in a microscopic metal globe designed by an intelligent species to 'seed' alien life on Earth. Dr Wainwright announced the discovery in an email to his students at Sheffield University, who posted it on Reddit. 'We sent balloons and a sampler and found no pollen or grass, nothing up there to contaminate, it was completely pristine,' Dr Wainwright told Jason Koebler at Motherboard. 'For these reasons, we think [the organisms] are coming from space,' he added. 'All the time when you walk outside, you are being pelted with organisms that come from space.'

He says the organisms test positive for DNA, and have masses that are 'six times bigger than the size limit of a particle which can be elevated from Earth to this height' Dr Wainwright's research has been widely criticised by the scientific community as being backed by poor and flimsy evidence. 'The critics claim that the samples we obtained must have come from Earth, that it that there must be a mechanism which can lift these particles from Earth to the stratosphere,' Dr Wainwright told Dailymail.com. Panspermia is a theory that suggests life spreads across the known physical universe, hitchhiking on comets or meteorites. For example, life such as extremophiles, capable of surviving the inhospitable conditions of space, could become trapped in debris that is ejected into space after collisions between asteroids and planets that harbour life. These life-forms may travel dormant for an extended amount of time before colliding randomly with other planets. The idea of directed panspermia, however, suggests that lifeforms are deliberately sent out through the universe by intelligent civilizations . Professor Francis Crick, one of the biologists who discovered the structure of DNA, examined the possibility of this in a paper in 1973. However, Professor Crick and his ccolleagues concluded that the scientific evidence was 'inadequate at the present time to say anything about the probability'. 'However, we have provided evidence that the DNA-containing masses, plus other strange organisms we have isolated are not associated with pollen, grass and fungal spores on our sampler.

A disgraced Pennsylvania math teacher has been sentenced to 30 days in jail, house arrest and probation for having sex with a 17-year-old student and sending him X-rated photos. Erica Ann Ginneti, 35, a married mother of three from Philadelphia, pleaded guilty in December to institutional sexual assault and disseminating sexually explicit materials to a minor. The former math and calculus teacher at Lower Moreland Township School District had been facing seven to 14 years in prison, but on Friday Judge Garrett Page sentenced her to 3-23 months, including the first 30 days in jail and the next 60 on house arrest. She also faces three years\u2019 probation, 100 hours of community service and will have to register as a sex offender for the next 25 years, according to The Intelligencer. Ginneti\u2019s jail terms begins April 10. In court Friday, Mrs Ginneti wept as she read a letter of apology in hopes of offering the victim 'closure for this nightmare.' Prosecutors said the boy had seen his grades drop in his senior year and has been struggling with social interactions. The former educator described for the court how she has reconciled with her family and embarked on a new career as a fitness instructor. In her time off, she volunteers at a church, reported Philadelphia Inquirer. Judge Garrett Page told Ginneti he was certain she would continue to turn her life around, but he reminded her that her ill-thought actions had had devastating consequences. 'One bad day because of sexual hunger has resulted in all this avalanche of harm,' Page stated. He also chastised her for sending her male student explicit photos and videos of herself, which he likened to \u2018dangling candy\u2019 in front of the boy. The judge later clarified that he does not think the defendant is a 'bad human being,' but stated she must be punished for her \u2018bad act.\u2019 Ginnetti, pictured above with her husband, first approached her victim in May 2013 when she chaperoned the senior prom and invited him to come work out at her gym .

According to investigators, the math and calculus teacher first approached the victim in May 2013 when she chaperoned the senior prom and invited him to come work out at her gym. A few days later the 17-year-old responded to Ginnetti with a text message, and the two began communicating on a daily basis. The criminal complaint against Ginnetti says that over the next several months, she sent the minor sexually explicit text messages, photos depicting her wearing bikini, a thong and other underwear, and videos showing the woman undressing suggestively and performing a sexual act on herself, according to The Bucks County Courier Times.

An Uber driver in San Francisco has been charged with assault after ramming into a cyclist who was shouting at him, leaving the biker with several broken bones, police and media reported. The incident occurred in the busy Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco when the cyclist rode up to the vehicle, yelled at the driver, banged on his window and pushed in his mirror, police spokesman Carlos Manfredi told AFP. 'During the exchange the cyclist sped up and the vehicle also sped up, striking the back of the bike,' Manfredi said. 'The cyclist sustained a punctured lung, broken ribs and a broken clavicle,' he added. The driver, Emerson Decarvalho, 38, stayed at the scene of the crash and was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after the incident, which took place Sunday afternoon. He was also charged with failing to maintain a three-foot (one meter) space between his car and the cyclist. Uber offered to help in the investigation of the incident. 'Our thoughts are with the victim of this terrible incident. We are gathering more information, have reached out to the San Francisco Police Department and will assist their investigation however we can,' said Uber spokeswoman Kate Downen. Uber said there was no passenger in the vehicle at the time. The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper said the cyclist was knocked unconscious and taken to hospital. Police said it was not clear what provoked the confrontation and said Decarvalho remained in custody. The crash occurred in San Francisco's famous Fishermans Warf area .

The 200-year-old skeleton of a soldier killed at the battle of Waterloo has been discovered under a car park - just like Richard III - and identified by archaeologists. After a painstaking process historians identified the man as Friedrich Brandt, 23, a Hanoverian hunchback who trained in the East Sussex resort of Bexhill-on-Sea. Brandt, a member of George III\u2019s German Legion, was killed by Napoleon\u2019s forces and was found with a musket ball between his ribs, the Sunday Times reported. An archaeologist working for the Belgian government, Dominique Bosquet, called the find \u2018unique,\u2019 explaining that no complete skeleton had ever been retrieved from the battle of Waterloo. The mystery surrounding Brandt\u2019s origins and identity was cracked by Gareth Glover, 54, a former Royal Navy officer and historian, who said Brandt would never have been allowed to serve, because of his deformity, under modern military standards. However his Hanoverian unit, loyal to the king, would have fought alongside British and Dutch troops against Napoleon . The skeleton was uncovered in June 2012 when a digger excavated a car park near the Lion\u2019s Mound area at Waterloo battlefield just south of Brussels. It took three years of intense research and a little luck to pin-point Brandt\u2019s identity. A piece of wood carrying the initials CB, and the date 1792 as well as 20 German and French coins amounting to a month\u2019s wages and an iron spoon proved crucial. The team at Waterloo had to use the process of elimination to identify their unknown soldier and could not rely on DNA tests like those used by the group that discovered Richard III under a car park in Leicester in 2012. Because, unlike King Richard, none of Brandt\u2019s relatives were known, historians had to use what little records remain from the 1815 battle at Waterloo to piece together the story. Bosque recognised the skeleton carried deformities indicating severe spinal issues. Further tests put the skeleton\u2019s age at death between 20 and 29. The musket ball that killed the young soldier was found lodged between his ribs at the Waterloo battlefield . Killed apparently by a musket ball which was found between the recently identified soldier's rib bones . The team was ready to give up on the case until Glover, treasurer of the Waterloo Association and author of Waterloo: Myth and Reality, matched troop formations to where the body was found and was able to identify the fallen soldier as a member of the German Legion. Using the information he was able to calculate that the soldier was probably killed between 1pm and 4pm when his unit marched on a ridge at Hougoumont. Then in February an important clue was brought to light when a piece of wood originally believed to be inscribed with the initials CB actually showed FCB. The letter F had faded over time.

Hardy was dropped by his previous team, the Carolina Panthers, because of these charges last season, but was still able to collect his salary during that time, which was roughly $770,000 a week.

But it becomes completely believable when it is brought to life through the inspirational, optimistic, comeback story of a charismatic, beautiful, young woman named Belle Gibson. Belle cast a spell through her endearing vulnerability and charming personality, collecting an enormous social media following who were enamoured with her brave account of reclaiming her health. Wellness warrior Belle Gibson has admitted that she never had cancer and does not want forgiveness . Now that Belle has admitted she made her story up, we ask ourselves, how could we have fallen so hard for an account of what many have called a medical miracle, without a shred of supporting evidence? The answer is very simple. We wanted to believe. And we did not so much believe in Belle\u00b4s story, as we believed in Belle. Everyone loves a heart-warming account of overcoming the odds.

This causes us to make the easier judgement\u2014that other people are truthful. To make matters worse, when we like someone, we are likely to believe they are truthful, even when they are lying. How do we overcome the truthfulness bias? One way is to closely examine a person\u00b4s motives. When someone relays a heart-warming story, as Belle did, what is she getting out of it? While many people do not want to spoil a happy ending with a cloud of suspicion, examining prospective outcomes for the storyteller often raises suspicions about potential ulterior motives that might otherwise never come to light.

+{"article": "It marks the moment when the civilised world entered the Dark Ages and some of the most spectacular societies in the world disappeared. Now one historian claims he has unraveled what may have lead to the downfall of Ancient Egypt and other Bronze Age civilisations collapse. He claims they were hit by a 'perfect storm' of disasters 3,200 years ago that left the Ancient Egyptians, the Babylonians, Minoans and Mycenians unable to cope. The Sphinx and pyramids at Giza (above) hint at the power of ancient Egyptian civilisation before it collapsed . As each of these great societies were interconnected, the collapse of one also affected the others, creating a domino-like effect, claims Professor Eric Cline, director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute at George Washington University. He claims that a series of droughts, famines, climate change, earthquakes, invasions and internal rebellions between 1225BC and 1177 BC happened in quick succession. Egypt's Old Kingdom - when most of the pyramids were built - collapsed more than 4,200 years ago because it failed to adapt to climate change, according to research. Scientists examined 7,000-year-old ancient pollen and charcoal samples from the Nile to piece together the time - and found evidence of a 'mega drought' in the the area. The droughts brought fires, famine and social unrest to the region. Pollen grains obtained from the bottom of the Sea of Galilee have also provided similar evidence that the region endured a 150 year drought between 1250BC and 1100BC. Scientists behind the study say there was a sharp decline around 1250 BCE in oaks, pines, and carob trees\u2014the traditional flora of the Mediterranean in the Late Bronze Age. Plants usually found in semiarid desert regions increase while the number of olive trees - an important crop plant - also declined. Speaking to Haaretz, he said: 'Normally if a culture if faced with just one of these tragedies, it can survive it, but what if they all happened at once or in quick succession. 'I think that the Late Bronze Age civilisations were simply unable to weather the \"perfect storm\" and cam crashing down. 'The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium BCE, which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, long-used trade routes were abandoned, along with writing systems, advanced technology, and monumental architecture.' Professor Cline sets out his arguments in his recent book '1177BC The Year Civilisation Collapsed'. The claims the events that led up to the collapse of these civilisations marked a turning point in ancient history. The demise of the powerful ancient civilisations has long been blamed on a mysterious group of seafaring raiders known as the Sea Peoples. These marauding people have been credited with having invaded and destroyed large swathes of Ancient Egypt, Hittite, Mycenian and Mitanni kingdoms around the Mediterranean.

At a sentencing hearing, Mrs Justice Thirlwall told Simon: 'You had no thought for him at all. Your focus, as so often in your life, was on what was best for you.' Simon initially denied knowledge of Mr Spalding's death, claiming he threw him out following a row over a car crash, but later admitted assaulting him during a fight after police found tiny blood droplets on the flat's lounge wall. Neighbours reported seeing a bonfire in the rear garden following Mr Spalding's disappearance - a heat so intense it melted UPVC guttering fascias - and forensic examination of debris from an oil drum showed it to be part of the victim's humerus bone. Michelle Bird (pictured) was convicted of assisting an offender and sentenced to two and a half years . Police divers recovered the second case - containing the victim's head, limbs and tools - below Pope Bridge, Smethwick, on May 16 and further searches of the canal bed uncovered a hacksaw. Using futuristic 3D scanning technology - developed through a pioneering project with Warwick University - experts were able to show a perfect fit between the charred bone and a severed limb found in the suitcase. And the same scanning proved a link between the hacksaw and lacerations found on other bones. Drag marks were also found on the towpath near where the pair dumped the suitcases into the canal. Detective Inspector Harry Harrison from West Midlands Police said: 'Michael was exploited in life by Lorenzo Simon and Michelle Bird and they afforded him no dignity in death. On the contrary, they treated him in the most despicable manner in order to conceal their crime. 'Simon accepted Michael as a tenant on the agreement he used his considerable handyman skills to do up the flat. But he treated him like a slave, working him past midnight and then waking him early in the morning to continue working. 'They were only allowed out with his say-so and given just one meal a day - usually pizza and chips. 'Michael finally broke and complained at their treatment - we believe that, combined with", "summary": "Lorenzo Simon, 34, forced tenant Michael Spalding to decorate his flat .

Eva Mozes Kor, 81, who publicly embraced Oskar Groening in court last week in an extraordinary act of forgiveness, called for the prosecutions of former SS officers to end. By doing so, she faced criticism from her co-plaintiffs in the case who suggested she should not have taken part in the trial in Germany. Scroll down for video . Embrace: Seventy years after Auschwitz was liberated, Eva Kor embraced former Nazi guard Oskar Groening . Survivor: Eva Kor spoke of how Josef Mengele stood over her bed and laughed when she was injected with a 'deadly germ' Regret: Groening (pictured) described in chilling detail Wednesday how cattle cars full of Jews were brought to the Auschwitz death camp, the people stripped of their belongings and then led directly into gas chambers . Mrs Kor made her comments during a television appearance last night discussing the purpose of the trial. She argued that any Nazis still alive should instead come forward to speak publicly about what they did to help counter the threat of neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers in Germany. In response, her co-plaintiffs released a statement through their lawyers today saying: 'Our clients would not comment here \u2013 who better than a survivor of Auschwitz knows that everyone needs to find their own way to overcome their suffering \u2013 if Mrs Kor did not repeatedly stage her 'forgiveness' publicly. 'The subject of this criminal procedure is NOT that Mr Groening has done anything personally to Mrs Kor or any of the other co-plaintiffs. 'Whether it is Mrs Kor's place to forgive Mr Groening's participation in the murder of her relatives is up to everyone to decide for themselves. 'But if Mrs Kor says \"these prosecutions must stop\" then she should not have become a co-plaintiff.' The statement added: 'We cannot forgive Mr Groening his participation in the murder of our relatives and another 299,000 people \u2013 especially since he feels free from any legal guilt. 'We want justice and we welcome the resolution that this trial brings.' Justice: Mrs Kor's co-plaintiffs said they could not forgive Mr Groening for his participation in the murders . In court in Luneburg last Wednesday Mrs Kor detailed how she and her twin sister Miriam were forced to endure horrifying medical experiments at Auschwitz by Josef Mengele, known as the 'Angel of Death'. She told the hearing how they evaded being gassed on arrival at the death camp thanks to Mengele's twisted obsession with twins. He experimented on twins in a sickening attempt to develop genetic techniques for Hitler's dream of creating a 'pure' Aryan race. Mengele used 1,500 sets of twins in his experiments, and only an estimated 180 to 250 individuals survived.

This is the claim made by his embalmers, who have developed experimental techniques to maintain the look and feel of the communist revolutionary's body.

Vladmir Lenin may have been dead for 90 years, but his corpse looks better than the day he passed. This is the claim made by his embalmers, who have developed experimental techniques to maintain the look and feel of the communist revolutionary's body. Pictured is his body in 1997 . The gruesome job is the responsibility of a team known as the 'Mausoleum group' which, at its peak, involved 200 scientists working in a lab dedicated to the former leader's corpse. According to a detailed report by Jeremy Hsu in Scientific American, the Russians prefer to preserve the body's shape, weight, colour and flexibility, rather than biological tissue. 'They have to substitute occasional parts of skin and flesh with plastics and other materials,' Alexei Yurchak, professor of social anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley told Mr Hsu. 'That makes it dramatically different from everything in the past, such as mummification.' Yurchak has published a paper on this project in the journal Representations, along with a book, 'Everything Was Forever, until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation.' The Bolshevik leader's remains were embalmed on Stalin's orders when he died aged 53 in 1924 and kept on display in Moscow apart from a period in the Second World War . The revolutionary's body is on public display in a mausoleum on Moscow's Red Square more than two decades after the break-up of the former USSR. Vladmir Lenin was behind the Bolshevik take-over of power in Russia in 1917. He was also the architect and first head of the USSR. Born in Simbirsk, he was expelled from university for his radical policies while studying law. This prompted him to move to St Petersburg, where he became a revolutionary. He was arrested and exiled to Siberia. He later spent most of his time in western Europe, where he became the leader of the 'Bolshevik' faction of the Russian Social Democratic Worker's Party. In 1917, Lenin returned to Russia where he led what was to be known as the October Revolution. Around three years of civil war followed in which millions died. In 1918, Lenin survived an assassination attempt, but was severely wounded. In 1922 he suffered a stroke from which he never fully recovered. But this year Russian officials closed Red Square so that scientists could prepare the body for public display during Lenin's 145th birthday anniversary \u2013 which took place yesterday. In his book, Yurchak describes how a mild bleach is often used to deal with occasional fungus stains on Lenin's face. One such stain that appeared on Lenin's cheek had the embalmers worried for their lives when they were", "summary": "Embalmers substitute parts of flesh with plastics and other materials .

In the introduction to the book, Cortanze quotes Freund's impressions of Kahlo which she had told to Rauda Jamis who wrote a book about the artist. She is said to have said: 'She was a formidable being, but in great distress \u2026 not only because of the physical pain due to her terrible tram accident but because she was a deeply conflicted being. 'She loved men, but did not turn away from women. She would shower you with gifts large and small, ranging from a charm, a tiny brass ex-voto, or a good luck stone to pre-Columbian pottery, as well as the heavy jewelry that she was crazy about \u2026 . 'One day she told me: I don't want to live a long time. I am really suffering too much.' Frida spent much of her life in pain after a tram accident in 1925. Then a young woman she suffered serious injuries after the vehicle that she was riding in collided with a trolley car. These included damage to her spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, 11 fractures in her right leg, a crushed and dislocated right", "summary": "Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist known for her self portraits .

A 'wicked' daughter who stole \u00a320,000 from her dementia-stricken mother and spent it on herself instead of paying care home fees has been spared jail.

The mother-of-three was required to pay \u00a3300-a-week for the 83-year-old's care but when it doubled to \u00a3600 the money was either late or stopped being paid at all.

She pleaded guilty to fraud on the basis she took \u00a320,000 between October 2012, and November 20 last year, despite the fact that prosecution said it was \u00a339,500. Border was sentenced to 16 months in prison, suspended for two years, at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday. Judge Andrew Hamilton said: 'You stole money from your mum. You were trusted to be her power of attorney to deal with her money. 'It was wicked to steal from someone who was in a care home. 'The owners of the care home seem to have taken pity on your mum. Others might not have been so charitable. 'She has dementia and doesn't appreciate the wickedness of her daughter, how you have betrayed her trust and stolen her money.' Border was also made subject of an eight-month home curfew and ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work. The court heard Border's mother suffered from angina, sclerosis of the liver and seriously low blood pressure. Defence attorney Ian Way said Border had taken a small amount of money to ease financial pressures in her own life and the fraud had then escalated. He added: 'She is 54, of good character.

A student who tried to cheat his way to a better degree by hacking into the university computers and changing his marks has been jailed. Imran Uddin, 25, who was studying science, bought keyboard spying equipment on the internet which he then connected to a number of university computers. Through the software, which recorded key strokes, he was able to find out the passwords that staff were typing in to log in to the computers. He then used those passwords to log on to their accounts himself. After hacking into the university computer system, Uddin changed the marks that he had been given for previous assessments. On one paper, he upped his mark from 57 per cent, a lower second grade, to 73 per cent, a first. He carried out his plot using keyboard \u2018shadowing\u2019 devices which look like a USB stick and can be bought for as little as \u00a349 on the internet. He plugged these into the back of a number of staff computers at the University of Birmingham where he was studying. The device records everything which is typed into the keyboard and saves the data. Uddin, from Birmingham, was in his final year of a bio-science course. At the time of the hacking he was expected to achieve a 2:2 degree. He was jailed for four months at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday after admitting six charges which were in breach of the Computer Misuse Act. Sentencing him, Judge James Burbridge said it was unclear why Uddin had tried to change his grades. Judge Burbridge said: \u2018For reasons not entirely clear to me, whether it was monetary, or pride, or a desire to outperform others, you decided to cheat and you formed a settled intention to do that. I consider your actions were planned and persistent.\u2019 He warned that Uddin\u2019s behaviour could have undermined public confidence in the degree system. The judge added that he felt compelled to put Uddin behind bars as a \u2018deterrence\u2019 to others. Judge Burbridge said: \u2018This kind of conduct undermines, or has the potential to undermine, public confidence in the degree system, set up by this university. I have decided I cannot pass a suspended sentence because there needs to be an element of deterrence.\u2019 Uddin was found out after staff discovered the devices when several computers were upgraded on October 7 last year. When they removed the protective casing from the computers in the bio-science building, the spying devices were discovered. Staff then began checking other university computer equipment and a further three spying devices were found. Madhu Rai, prosecuting, said: \u2018It is effectively a case where the defendant has hacked into a number of computers at the university where he was studying for a degree in bio-science.\u2019 Miss Rai said one tracker had been attached to a computer in a \u2018staff only\u2019 area to obtain the password of employee Christine Chapman, who had access to exam grade software.

A new book by author Martin Fletcher has revealed a series of other blazes at businesses owned by or associated with Stafford Heginbotham, the club's chairman at the time of the tragedy in 1985. The official inquiry into the blaze, led by Mr Justice Oliver Popplewell, concluded that the fire was an accident, probably caused by a spectator dropping a cigarette into rubbish that had accumulated under an old timber stand at the Valley Parade ground. Former Bradford City chairman Stafford Heginbotham, left, with Mr Justice Popplewell in the aftermath of the Bradford City fire. Today, the former judge has dismissed claims the blaze was not an accident . The stand at the Valley Parade ground burns after a fire in 1985. 56 football fans were killed in the tragedy . Today Sir Oliver was asked about the new allegations in an interview on BBC Radio Leeds, where he rubbished Mr Fletcher's claims. The retired judge said the main flaw in the argument that the fire was arson was that the stand involved had no insurance value as it was due for demolition. He also added that the fire was examined by experienced and thorough investigators, who found nothing suspicious and that no question of arson was ever raised in civil legal proceedings. He explained: 'I'm sorry to spoil what is obviously a very good story but I'm afraid it's nonsense for a number of reasons.' Sir Oliver also rejected claims his inquiry was held too quickly, three weeks after the fire. He added: 'I can quite understand after having previous fires some suspicion being raised but, as far as I\u2019m concerned, we conducted our inquiry perfectly properly and I have no reason believe it was other than an accident.' The new claims about the fire at Valley Parade are contained in the book Fifty-Six by Mr Fletcher, who was 12 at the time and escaped the blaze.

The card was created by Joel Paglione and Niko Zistakis.. They claim it will save people around 53 hours over a year, based on the belief that the average phone user unlocks their phone 150 times a day. The duo, based in Chicago, Illinois, came up with the idea as an increased method of security and a time-saving device and recently raised more than $82,000 (\u00a353,512) on Kickstarter to put it into production. The Salt card is made of durable plastic with a matte finish and is the same height and length as an ordinary credit card.

The sources who spoke to Tulsa World claim that the reserve deputy was not properly trained to be an armed deputy, despite Sheriff Stanley Glanz saying otherwise.

Chinese state media has reported that the government is planning to expand the Qinghai to Tibet railway 'at Nepal's request' - which could include a tunnel under the world's tallest mountain - by 2020. The step is important politically as it shows Beijing building links with Nepal, a country India regards as firmly within its sphere of influence. A tunnel could be built under Mount Everest in the Himalayas as part of grand new plans announced by China . Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi visited Kathmandu in December and, according to Nepalese reports, said the line could eventually be extended to the Nepalese capital and further - creating a crucial link between China and the huge markets of India. 'The line will probably have to go through Qomolangma so that workers may have to dig some very long tunnels,' expert Wang Mengshu told the Chinese Daily newspaper, referring to Everest by its Tibetan name. He said that, due to the challenging Himalayan terrain with its 'remarkable' changes in elevation, trains on any line to Kathmandu would probably have a maximum speed of 120 kilometres per hour. The new plans underline China's increasing influence in Nepal, after years of improving the infrastructure of the nation. A map shows where the extension of the Qinghai-Tibet railway could be built - under Mount Everest . As well as building roads, it has invested billions of dollars in hydropower and telecommunications. Chinese tourism to Nepal, which is home to eight of the world's 14 peaks over 8,000 metres, is also climbing. Beijing's increasing role has raised alarms in New Delhi that China, already closely allied to Pakistan, is forging closer economic ties with Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Nepal in a deliberate strategy to encircle India.

Voters in last year's parliamentary by-elections lodged complaints about aggressive campaigning tactics, fights between rival supporters, and bizarre activities on polling day, new data shows. In one case, a voter complained that wealthy party donors were luring young activists to a key seat with the 'unfair' promise of free curry, nightclub entertainment and hotel stays. Others, in letters of complaint to police forces and local authorities, accused politicians of 'fly-posting', while detectives were called when scraps broke out over conflicting 'political views'. The details, released to the Press Association under the Freedom of Information Act, refer to the parliamentary by-elections in Clacton, Heywood and Middleton, Newark, Rochester and Strood, and Wythenshawe and Sale East. One eagle-eyed viewer watching the live coverage of the Rochester and Strood by-election, won by Ukip's Tory defector Mark Reckless, was perturbed to see a person 'moving about among the tables and taking items' - something the viewer deemed 'suspicious', so reported it to Kent Police. The same by-election saw six complaints made to Medway Council, one of which was about the apparent unsuitability of a candidate, as well as the length of time it took to count the votes and announce the result. According to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) - whose force area included both the Wythenshawe and Sale East and Heywood and Middleton constituencies - one party organiser found their car was damaged while out delivering leaflets. In another case, a campaigner was attacked by members of the National Front far-right group following a political discussion which escalated to violence. Ukip activists in Newark drew a couple of complaints for fixing party posters to street furniture. The anti-Europe party later came second to the Conservative candidate Robert Jenrick. A resident also contacted the vote's returning officer - who oversees the election - to complain they had been approached by an unnamed party activist in the polling station as they went to cast their ballot paper. And another complained that Tory donors allegedly supplied junior members with food and lodgings in exchange for hitting the campaign trail. The complainant said: 'I feel sure other candidates in this election must have felt that this was completely unfair.' GMP also reported how local election campaigns - which coincided with a parliamentary by-election - saw a complaint made about a defamatory party leaflet, while another prospective candidate in Wigan apparently 'caused people in the street to sign a nomination paper to allow them to stand in the next elections' - despite those signing the document believing it to simply confirm their status as local residents.

It perfectly illustrates his work ethic and his obsession with guarding against complacency but even he must know that right now no-one is further from the chop than the 44-year-old coach who took Atletico Madrid to the title last season and leads them into the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid on Tuesday night. There was a communal sigh let-out across several boardrooms of top European football clubs two weeks ago when he put pen to paper on a new deal that ties him to the club until 2019. Diego Simeone shows off his playing skills as he prepare Atletico Madrid for their Champions League clash . Simeone talks to his squad ahead of Real Madrid's visit on Tuesday night in the quarter final first leg . Sporting directors from Manchester to Milan were watching his situation carefully and the new four year contract with the option of a fifth season appears to have ended his chances of arriving in Italy or England this summer. Back home in Madrid the Atletico supporters were delirious at the news. Never mind that last year\u2019s title will not be repeated this season. The fans have long enough memories to remember how bad things were back in December 2011, before his appointment. Current Chelsea striker Diego Costa would also remember that period well. He was just about to return from a cruciate ligament injury that had sidelined him for three months. The Argentinian manager has imposed his incredible work ethic on his players since joining Atletico . Simeone has turned Atletico around since joining in December 2011, and recently extended his deal . His Atletico Madrid team-mates were stagnating under coach Gregorio Manzano and had just been knocked out of the Cup by a third division side, Albacete. Costa had previously been out on loan at Albacete and had the good grace to go into their dressing-room after the game and congratulate his former team-mates on their giantkilling scalp. Back in his own dressing room the mood was bleak. The team were closer to the relegation zone than the European places and Manzano was soon sacked and replaced by Simeone. Sceptics said his inexperience as a coach in Europe would prevent him succeeding. Romantics said the former captain and double winner at Atletico would bring back the glory days. The romantics were right. Without Costa, who was at first loaned out to Rayo Vallecano, Simeone\u2019s Atletico won the Europa League and the European Super Cup. Costa returned to help them win the Copa del Rey and the league as well as making last season\u2019s Champions League final. That final in Lisbon seemed to put Real back on top in the Spanish capital but Simeone\u2019s noisy neighbours have refused to pipe-down. In the six subsequent matches between the two sides they have not let Real win a single game. In", "summary": "Real Madrid face Atletico in Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday .

Periscope, Twitter's new iPhone app which allows users to broadcast live video and audio online, launched a week ago today and early adapters have already discovered potentially hair-raising issues with the much talked-about technology, which claims on its website that it is 'the closest thing to teleportation'. Despite the initial hype surrounding the launch of the app, which is being touted as a revolutionary new way to share news, there are already a concerning number of users, particularly women, reporting that they have been sexually harassed, or trolled, while using the technology.

Emma Barker, sex and relationships editor at Cosmopolitan.com, noted that the app is already crawling with men who are using the anonymity afforded to them by the app's settings in order to sexually harass women - including one of her female friends.

One particularly creepy user asked: 'Do you get out of the shower to pee?' According to Periscope's community guidelines, the app prohibits 'pornographic or overtly sexual content' as well as 'explicitly graphic content or media that is intended to incite violent, illegal or dangerous activities'. And while a spokesperson for the app told Emma that Periscope has a team dedicated to content review, there doesn't appear to be anything specific being done to prevent sexual commentary and online harassment. The app's policies are, unsurprisingly, similar to Twitter, which is currently testing out a 'quality filter' that monitors and removes threats and offensive language out of users notifications feeds. It's not clear as to whether or not Periscope will be given a similar screening system.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Robert R. Fitzgerald made the decision after hearing preliminary evidence against 41-year-old Isidro Garcia, who has pleaded not guilty. Authorities said the daughter of Garcia's live-in girlfriend told them he began fondling her shortly after she was brought from Mexico in 2004 to live with her mother in Santa Ana, and that he repeatedly had sex with her despite her protests.

Ricardo Diaz testified. The girl was given fake ID and a job but Garcia prevented her from fleeing and assaulted her, Diaz said. Garcia later married and fathered a daughter with the girl, who is now 25, and lived with her until last year. 'This is a different type of captivity,' prosecutor Whitney Bokosky told reporters after the hearing. 'It is more of a mental captivity. She doesn't know where else to go, she doesn't know where else to turn to.' Garcia is charged with one count of rape, one count of kidnapping with intent to rape, and three counts of lewd acts on a child. He is being held on $1 million bail and scheduled to be arraigned May 5. The case came to light last year when the woman went to a police station in Bell Gardens to report a domestic violence incident and was connected to a missing-persons report filed by her mother in 2004.

+{"article": "Angela spent many years wearing high heel shoes . Four years ago, a shopping trip was torture for Angela Kelly, 67. Though still a super-fit events organiser, the former over-50s All England badminton mixed doubles champion was reduced to hobbling at a snail's pace, hanging onto her trolley for support. It may sound as though Angela was struggling with a debilitating disease or catastrophic accident. In fact, she was suffering from the painful legacy of a lifetime wearing high heels. Her story is a cautionary tale for those of us who blithely slip our feet into shoes several inches high on a daily basis. Most women are well aware that wearing high heels for any length of time can result in sore feet, pinched toes and tight calf muscles. But a worrying new study by researchers in the U.S. suggests high heels can also put dangerous pressure on knee joints, wearing away cartilage - the body's built-in shock absorber - and increasing the risk of osteoarthritis. Some women need invasive knee replacement surgery. In the study carried out by Stanford University's biomotion team, the knees of healthy women were scanned as they walked at normal pace in flat shoes, 1\u00bd in heels and 3\u00bd in heels. They found that in high heels, women's knees are held in such an awkward, bent position that their joints looked and performed like aged or damaged joints - increasing the risk of osteoarthritis. Physiotherapist and osteopath Tim Allardyce isn't surprised: patients with postural problems caused or exacerbated by heels are common at his Croydon clinic. 'Because of the odd angle at which the feet are held in high-heeled shoes, it increases the downward pressure on the knees by 25 per cent, placing significant stress on the kneecaps, even when you're standing still,' he says. At 5ft 3in, Angela had always loved the extra height afforded by her favourite heels. 'I wore vertiginous stilettos and towering platforms every day of my teens and 20s,' she says. 'And after that, a 3 in heel or more, whenever I wanted to look smart.' Even the first twinge of arthritis, which began in her right knee in her early 30s, couldn't persuade her to kick her heel habit - instead, she gritted her teeth and controlled the pain with anti- inflammatories, until it suddenly worsened four years ago. She had almost no cartilage left in her knee and needed to have a titanium knee replacement . 'I was struggling to get out of bed or in and out of the car,' she says. 'I sometimes had to use crutches to get about and would have to lean heavily on a trolley to get around the supermarket. 'All my lovely high-heeled shoes had to be banished and I started living in trainers.

Brutally raped at knifepoint and left fearing for her life, Gemma Redhead believed her ordeal was over after her attacker was jailed. But as she attempted to rebuild her life, the young mother had a sickening reminder of the attack \u2013 from the man who carried it out. After he was released from prison, having served only half his sentence, he defied a restraining order to phone her. Miss Redhead said the 46-second call \u2018reawakened all of the fear and terror of the attack\u2019, leaving her unable to sleep or eat. \u2018As soon as I heard his voice I realised who it was, and it disturbed something deep down inside of me,\u2019 she said. Miss Redhead, 33, who has waived her right to anonymity, was left with post-traumatic stress disorder after being repeatedly raped by her former partner, Philip Kirby. She endured eight years of violence at the hands of bullying Kirby and his attacks became so brutal she lived in fear every day, thinking he would kill her. In August 2010 the mother-of-four, who has a child with Kirby, decided to break up with him. After they separated, Kirby, 32, refused to acknowledge the end of their relationship and begged Miss Redhead to take him back. He continued to harass her and eventually forced his way into her home before subjecting her to a harrowing ordeal. After the first horrifying attack, Miss Redhead begged him to leave, but he told her: \u2018I\u2019m already going to jail for a long time so what difference does it make?\u2019 before raping her again. Kirby, of Newcastle, initially denied rape. But on the first day of his trial he changed his plea, admitting four counts of rape. In April 2011, he was jailed for eight years with a five-year extended licence period. He was also handed a restraining order which banned any contact with Miss Redhead for the rest of her life. Meanwhile she began counselling, including cognitive therapy, and medication to help her overcome her post-traumatic stress disorder. But she says her hopes of rebuilding her life have now been shattered. She said: \u2018It is a daily struggle and an ongoing battle to deal with this.

However, the revelation that she'd rather have a good au pair than a husband is perhaps more of a reflection on her relationship with her own ex husband, disgraced former Lib Dem MP Chris Huhne, than it is a general statement about child-rearing. Greek-born Pryce, who famously spent two months at Her Majesty's pleasure after being convicted of perverting the course of justice for taking Huhne's speeding fines, has been speaking about life post prison and how she's handled a stellar, if not tumultuous, career - all while bringing up her brood. Despite having a high-flying career, Vicky Pryce has managed to raise five children...but admits she would miss them when work commitments came calling . Speaking to the Times, the author, who since her stint behind bars, which ended in May 2013, has written a book about life in women's prisons, says that her advice to women would be to 'be as independent as you possibly can.' The economist is said to now be enjoying the company of former MP and convicted fraudster Denis MacShane but with two failed marriages behind her, it seems that good childcare has been essential to raising her own children. Returning to the workplace within two months with each of her children required her to take a tough 'cry it out' approach with them, she says. Pryce, 62, freely admits that within just weeks of their birth, her offspring were put into their own room and left to cry until they learned to soothe themselves back to sleep. The worst episode saw one of her children scream it for two hours, she says. Something has to give: Pryce, pictured here in 2013 with Professor Noreena Hertz (left) admits she never baked cakes for her children and would often be late for parties . Pryce admits to not knowing the names of her children's friends while they were growing up and that she sacrificed more traditional motherly duties such as cake baking or preparing costumes in favour of her career.

Nearly a year after North Dakota college student Andrew Sadek's body was found in a river with a bullet in the head, his mother still struggles with how her shy son who liked to bowl and belonged to a club of electricity enthusiasts got mixed up in the dangerous world of illegal drugs. Tammy Sadek believes the answer is that her 20-year-old son signed his own death warrant when he agreed to become a confidential informant for police after they caught him selling marijuana. Authorities say he knew what he was getting into and agreed to help them of his own free will. Still, people who knew Sadek are shocked by what happened. 'He was a gentle soul,' said Kristi Brandt, principal of Valley City High School, from which Sadek graduated. Investigators haven't concluded whether Sadek was slain or killed himself. Adding to the mystery, a gun that fires the same caliber bullet that killed Sadek is missing from their family farm near the tiny town of Rogers. An autopsy concluded that Sadek died of the gunshot wound, and that he had no drugs or alcohol in his system. How his body ended up in the Red River has not been explained and no gun was found. An investigative report from two-and-half months ago said the drug task force which recruited Sadek acted appropriately. But his death is raising questions about the use of young, low-level drug offenders as confidential informants and if they should they be given more detailed information about the dangers. Sadek had been working with a drug task force as a confidential informant after he was caught selling marijuana on campus in 2013. His mother, Tammy Sadek believes that he signed his death warrant when he began working for the force . The circumstances surrounding the death of Sadek, who was a second-year student at the State College of Science, still remain unknown . American Civil Liberties Union spokeswoman Jennifer Cook said informants are doing a dangerous part of law enforcement, without the training. 'The safety risks associated with informant use can far outweigh the benefits,' she said. Sadek was a second-year electrical technician student at the State College of Science, a two-year community college in the southeastern North Dakota city of Wahpeton where about 3,600 students study everything from diesel technology to performing arts. He enjoyed lake activities and golfing in addition to bowling and electrical work while growing up on the family farm. Brandt said Sadek was never a troublemaker in high school, and was always polite and respectful of authority. She doubted his nature changed much in college. 'Sometimes there are changes, but usually it's more on the level of a maturity change, not necessarily a personality change,' she said. He wanted an electrical technician master's degree, but his plans began to go awry in April 2013 when he twice sold marijuana to a confidential informant.

Zeynab was shot dead on the evening of April 7 last week according to a worker at the Jafra Foundation, an aid organisation working in the area. Zeynab Daghastani, 13, was reportedly gunned down by ISIS snipers in Al-Yarmouk Camp, on the outskirts of Damascus, as she fled the militants (pictured, Islamic State fighters as they captured the camp ten days ago) According to relief workers in the area, Zeynab was killed on Tuesday as she tried to make her way from Yarmouk to a nearby neighbourhood controlled by the Syrian Army (pictured, ISIS fighters in Yarmouk) The worker, named only as Nina, also revealed that activists and relief workers were also being targeted by ISIS, according to the IBTimes.

Jeffrey Walker told jurors that the Philadelphia Police Department drug squad targeted 'white college-boy, ... khaki-pants types' who were 'easy to intimidate'. That matches the description of some of the drug dealers who have testified in recent weeks in the federal police corruption trial. The witnesses have said the squad stole as much as $80,000 at a time during illegal raids marked by threats and physical violence. Walker, 46, said police brass applauded the drug squad because they made big arrests that made them look good. Squad leader Thomas Liciardello, the lead defendant, 'produced big jobs, a lot of arrests,' he said. 'They liked that, as far as the bosses and supervisors were concerned. It made them look good. It was nothing but a dog and pony show. That's all it is,' Walker said. Liciardello, he said, always got a cut of the money stolen or skimmed from drug suspects, while the others split the 'jobs' they worked, Walker said. He said he first stole money as a uniformed patrolman when he chased a dealer into a house and spotted a large bag of cash on top of the refrigerator. 'I never saw that much money. I was a young kid,' Walker told jurors. 'I took some money, put it in my jacket pocket.' Defense lawyers have attacked Walker's credibility and will no doubt point out on cross-examination the times he admits acting alone, even before he joined the elite undercover drug unit. He also said he developed a drinking problem and became forgetful. Walker joined the department at about 20 and had nearly 24 years in when he was arrested in an FBI sting last year. Before then, he had refused to cooperate when the FBI asked him to speak to them about the unit. But he changed course after being caught in the sting, accused of stealing $15,000 and planting drugs in someone's car. He has been in custody for nearly a year and hopes to avoid a life sentence through his testimony. Walker said he once worked out of the same undercover squad car with Liciardello and Brian Reynolds but was turned out by those work friends as he went through a divorce, weight loss surgery and other personal problems. More than 160 drug convictions have been overturned since Walker pleaded guilty, and scores of civil-rights lawsuits are pending against Walker and the defendants.

+{"article": "Surgeons have removed kidneys that each weighed as much as a newborn baby from an Indian man with a genetic disorder. The giant internal organ reportedly weighed a colossal 6lbs (2.7kg) - and was 20 times bigger thanit should have been. It was was extracted from a 45-year-old suffering from autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). This condition causes fluid-filled cysts to grow in the kidneys, so they expand in size. Surgeons have removed the kidneys, which weighed as much as a newborn baby, from a 45-year-old man with a genetic disease. Scan shows the kidneys, which had grown to 20 times their normal size . Incredibly, a week after his initial operation at Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, a second kidney weighing 5.5lbs (2.5kg) was removed. Both kidneys beat the previous record of 4.7lbs (2.1kg), which was removed in Dhule, India, in 2011, according to Guinness World Records. Normally, healthy kidneys weigh between 125g and 170g in men - less than half a pound. The patient was diagnosed with ADPKD, which is potentially lethal, last year. He arrived at the hospital suffering from high fever, blood in his urine and severe abdominal pain before he was admitted. 'I used to remain tired throughout the day due to excessive blood loss,' the patient, whose name has not been released by the hospital, said. It took a team of surgeons three hours to remove the giant organ, before he was then put on dialysis. He will soon receive a kidney transplant. Dr Bhargav, one of the surgeons who carried out the procedure, said: 'The kidney was 20 times the normal size and was stuck around the intestines. Normal healthy kidneys weight between 125g and 170g in men - less than half a pound. One of the kidneys the doctors removed weighed 6lbs (2.7kg) (is is pictured on the scales) 'The patient is recovering and awaiting a kidney transplant.' ADPKD affects between 1 in 700-1,000 individuals worldwide, with 12.5 million cases globally, and is currently incurable. It is caused by mutations in one or more genes, causing them to function abnormally. Cysts develop in the kidneys, and often the livers and the pancreas. Over time, they grow and multiple, replacing normal healthy tissue and causing the kidneys to stop working. In the early stages, there may be no symptoms and the cysts won't be noticed until adulthood. They will vary by individual but may include back or abdominal pain, recurrent urinary infections or blood in the urine, kidney stones and kidney failure. Two thirds of adults with ADPKD will develop high blood pressure, and 1 in 12 will develop small brain aneurysms. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited condition that causes small, fluid-filled sacs called cysts to develop in the kidneys. Although children are born with the condition, ADPKD does not usually cause any noticeable problems until the cysts grow large enough to affect the kidneys' functions. In most cases, this doesn't occur until 30-60 years of age. When ADPKD reaches this stage, it can cause a wide range of problems,", "summary": "Man, 45, had a kidney weighing 6lbs (2.7kg) removed in a Delhi hospital .

Brussels will say that Google has used its massive dominance as a search engine to divert internet users from rivals to its own services, which include YouTube and the Google+ social network. In one of the most high-profile competition cases of recent years, Europe could fine Google more than \u00a34 billion amid a wave of political opposition in Europe to the perceived dominance of US tech companies. Google currently boasts a 90 per cent share in Europe's search engine market. The European Union will accuse Google of illegally abusing its supremacy on the internet search market . But the ruling - the result of a five-year investigation into the American search giant \u2013 means Google may ultimately have to change its business model and pay multi-billion pound fines to Brussels. Margrethe Vestager, the EU's competition commissioner, will today serve the company with a formal charge sheet alleging that it breached anti-trust rules, according to the Financial Times. Google's competitors, including the computer giant Microsoft and sites such as travel booking firm Expedia and TripAdvisor, claim that its method of promoting its own companies above rivals on its search site stops them competing on a level playing field. And in a further blow to Google, the EU is also expected to probe Google's operating system for Android smartphones. The investigation will centre on whether Google imposes restrictions on phone makers that force them to favour their own apps, such as YouTube. Google has previously rejected the allegations, and insisted that Android is an open platform that is distributed for free. Margrethe Vestager, the EU's competition commissioner, will today serve Google with a formal charge sheet . After charges are issued, Google will have ten weeks to reply to Brussels, according to the Financial Times. They will also get the chance to argue their case in a formal hearing. The investigation into Google began in 2010 but was repeatedly delayed because the commission could not agree on settlement terms. Google offered three settlement proposals to resolve the case. Most recently, just over a year ago, it offered to give competing products and services bigger visibility on its website. However Europe initially accepted that deal, only to reverse the decision six months later and demand more concessions. Vestager, Europe's competition boss who was the inspiration for the hit Danish political drama series Borgen, took over the job in November and vowed to take Google on. Insiders claim the case could prove just as costly as the EU's decade-long battle with Microsoft, which ultimately cost the company \u00a31.6 billion in fines. If Google fails to rebut any formal charges imposed by Brussels, the commission could impose a huge fine which could exceed \u00a34 billion - about 10 per cent of Google's most recent annual revenue. The move will stop short of previous threats that the EU executive could consider breaking up Google to separate its business from the search engine.

Current and former female agents spoke out to the New York Times on Sunday to renounce depictions of CIA women on TV shows and in movies. The group of women say they are nothing like the honey-pots on these shows who use their sexuality to ensnare terrorists and drown PTSD with booze and pills. Retired CIA officer Sandra Grimes, 69, who helped expose her colleague Aldrich Ames as a Russian double agent, says she sees nothing of herself in the characters at the center of shows like State of Affairs and Homeland.

As in real life, Matthews dies as the agent gets out of his car and detonates a suicide vest. 'The problem is that they portray most women in such a one-dimensional way; whatever the character flaw is, that\u2019s all they are,' Bennett said.

One of the fictional CIA agents currently on screen is Charlie Tucker on NBC's State of Affairs. Played by Katherine Heigl, Charlie is a character who in the first episode gets drunk at a bar, sleeps with a stranger and lashes out at her psychiatrist. Another example is Homeland's Carrie Mathison (played by Claire Danes) - a bi-polar spy who gives up nearly all responsibility for her child (the product of a secret relationship with a double agent) and spends most of her time controlling sources with sex.

+{"article": "Sometimes walking in a straight line without tripping over with just two feet is enough of a challenge. So imagine the kind of coordination it would require if you had eight legs. Now scientists have unraveled how octopuses manage to keep track of all of their flailing limbs as they crawl over objects. The video above, recorded by researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, shows how that despite its body orientation (green arrow) the octopus can crawl in any direction (blue arrow) thanks to its flexible arms . Using high speed videos of octopuses as they negotiated obstacles, biologists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel studied the cephlopods movement. They found that the orientation of the creature's body and the crawling direction are controlled independently in the brain. Male octopuses have a long, detachable penis in order to mate with females that are five times bigger than itself. When a female swims by, the male Argonaut sends his penis off to swim to the female and mate with her. In fact, the penis is a ball of sperm in a tentacle called a hectocotylus and females can be fertilised by more than one, by storing them in the mantle cavity. The male dies soon after his unique ordeal, whereas the female can mate several times and even store multiple hectocotyli in a special cavity until they\u2019re needed. In the past, scientists that caught female specimens confused the attached penises for parasitic worms. The male mollusc won almost a third of votes in a survey set up by the Society of Biology to identify the strangest animal sex. The thrust comes from arms that push by elongation rather than arms that pull. This combined with they symmetrical arrangement of the arms around the body helps to give the marine creatures their extraordinary maneuverability. It is the first time scientists have been able to fully understand how octopuses are able to control their movements without a rigid skeleton. The findings may help scientists develop new ways for soft robots to move around and can also shed some light on how octopuses evolved in the first place. Professor Binyamin Hochner, who led the research, said: 'Octopuses use unique locomotion strategies that are different from those found in other animals. 'This is most likely due to their soft molluscan body that led to the evolution of 'strange' morphology, enabling efficient locomotion control without a rigid skeleton.' Octopuses are thought to have evolved from clam-like creatures in the mollusc family. But as they lost their hard protective shell, they seem to have evolved to move far faster than other members of the mollusc family like slugs or snails. The octopus was found to move by pushing with its legs rather than pulling while it could move in any direction regardless of the position of its body - something that humans find extremely difficult to do without falling over . Dr Guy Levy, a neurobiologist who also took part in the research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said: 'During evolution, octopuses lost their heavy", "summary": "Biologists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel used high speed videos of octopuses crawling over objects to study how the animals move .

The new winner of Masterchef Simon Wood, who won the title last Friday, hasn't been on a single cookery course or even had one lesson.

And while the French are renowned for their love of the stinky stuff, we are not far behind, with the average Briton eating their way through four servings a week. The research, which was conducted by pickle brand Branston also revealed that a surprising one in four cheese fanatics (26 per cent) admit to eating melted cheese with everything.

The protest comes with the Magpies having lost their last five Premier League matches, including a painful 1-0 defeat at north-east rivals Sunderland.

Power giant E.on has been ordered to pay a \u00a37.75million penalty after it ripped off customers who were switching to rivals. The money will go to Citizens Advice to fund the organisation\u2019s work helping those trying to cut their energy bills. E.on effectively overcharged thousands who decided to move to other suppliers after it announced price rises in January 2013 and again in early 2014. Industry rules state that energy companies must give customers 30 days\u2019 notice of any price rise. Once a customer states they intend to move, the firm is not allowed to impose an exit fee or apply the new higher tariff even if the move takes place after the date of the increase. However, industry regulator Ofgem found that E.on broke the rules by hitting tens of thousands of departing customers with a higher tariff in the days before their account was switched. The firm admitted the mistake as far as customers who paid by direct debit or cheque were concerned. However, it failed to notify Ofgem that it also affected people with meters until late in the investigation. It has refunded \u00a38 to \u00a312 to 40,000 customers who paid by cash or cheque and is now trying to find another 7,000 meter customers to pay them an average of \u00a33.42. While the sums involved are relatively low, Ofgem imposed a high penalty because E.on did the same thing in January 2012. At that time, it was ordered to refund \u00a31.4million to customers and pay \u00a3300,000 in lieu of a penalty to Age UK. The firm claimed it had implemented new procedures to stop it happening again, but was guilty of the same mistake in both 2013 and 2014. 'Absolutely unacceptable': Regulator Ofgem said the penalty reflected E.ON's 'repeated failings' on billing rules after the company incorrectly imposed exit fees and overcharged customers . Ofgem\u2019s enforcement chief, Sarah Harrison, said: \u2018Our rules give customers a chance to avoid exit fees and higher costs when suppliers put up prices. These are important customer protections and it is vital suppliers play by the rules. The energy regulator has imposed fines on energy companies totalling \u00a3168 million since 2010. Britain's Big Six energy suppliers are responsible for \u00a399million of the payments, with British Gas the worst offender among them with their figure totalling \u00a334.6million. E.ON has been fined \u00a324.8million in total. The payments are as follows: . November 2012: E.ON agrees to pay out \u00a31.7million to customers and charities after customers were incorrectly charged exit fees or overcharged following price rises. July 2013: The company agrees a \u00a33million package of fines and money for customers after it misreported the number of energy-saving light bulbs it had distributed under an energy efficiency scheme.

Rebecca Sedwick leaped to her death from the roof of an abandoned concrete plant in Lakeland, Florida in September 2013. The following month, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said she likely killed herself following 'malicious harassment' from two schoolmates, Katelyn Roman, then 12, and Guadalupe Shaw, 13. Both girls, who were students at Crystal Lake Middle School, were arrested on charges of aggravated stalking and the sheriff's office distributed their names and mug shots.

Herbert said: \u2018Last season it was feasible to keep travelling back and forth across the Channel but we have more horses this year \u2013 80 in France and almost 100 in Britain. \u2018It makes more sense to have a jockey based over there.

Normally the way these things work is for the journalist to kick start conversations but Hull asked more questions than I did. She wanted to know everything about the course, from the historic role of the celebrated lighthouse to the war memorial that offers sober reflection to golfers on the back nine. The 19-year-old was keen to know about the revamp planned by the Trump family, who recently purchased Turnberry, under the guidance of course architect Martin Ebert.

She hit a driver. Indeed, she hit a driver off every tee, which is the way she likes to do things in practice. \u2018I just find taking on the holes makes me concentrate,\u2019 she explained. Again, like Rory, the driver also happens to be the best club in her bag. The 19-year-old has the same mentality and 'wow factor' as world No 1 Rory McIlroy .

The oil painting - which measures nine inches by seven - of a Catholic saint was believed to be the work of a 'follower' of 16th century renaissance master El Greco. But the selling price suggests the untitled, undated and unsigned painting may actually have been done by the artist himself. Auctioneer Richard Bromell (pictured) gave the tiny painting an estimated value of about \u00a3300 to \u00a3400 but it ended up selling for more than \u00a3120,000 . It was acquired by the owner's late father in the 1970s for very little. He bought it because he believed it was a depiction of Saint Peter, who shares his name. And it was inherited by his son, who has not been named, who kept it in his loft for the past eight years before deciding to sell it following a clear-out.

When he came down off the ceiling he was very, very pleased. I think if he had been offered \u00a3500 for it before the auction he would have snapped your hand off.' The oil painting (right) was believed to have been the work of a follower of 16th century renaissance master El Greco (left) but the selling price suggests it may have been done by the artist himself . Mr Bromell explained it was very difficult to judge the painting. He said: 'We described it as by a follower of El Greco because that is what it looked like and I still think that to be the case. 'It was a very interesting picture and very hard to value. 'If you asked three people the question 'how much is it worth?' you would get three different answers. One reputable gallery stopped bidding at \u00a310,000 because that was how much they were prepared to pay for it.

Richie said: \u2018Shane Warne\u2019s just put a marker down.\u2019 That was his only contribution in the half-hour we were on together, but it beat anything else we had to offer. One line! It was classic Richie: he had the eagle eye to see what Warne was doing in the first place, the confidence to stay quiet while we rabbited on, and the perfect choice of words. As he might have put it himself: marvellous. I thought of Richie during the World Cup final last month. For some reason Star Sports, the tournament\u2019s global broadcasters, used a team of rookies to commentate on the match.

To address these issues, the tech giant is recruiting for battery and power software experts. At least nine job listings have been spotted on the firm's official recruitment site as the company looks to boost the battery across its range of mobiles and laptops. Fan site AppleInsider has spotted nine job listings on Apple's official recruitment site in the past month that relate to batteries. These include one for an iOS battery life software engineer (pictured left) and another for iOS software power systems engineer (pictured right) The job listings were discovered by fan site AppleInsider and include listings for an iOS battery life software engineer, a software power systems engineer, battery pack engineering manager and a cell engineer. In particular, the iOS software power systems engineer role said the successful candidate 'will be working on design and development of software for triage of battery life issues, modeling of power consumed by different parts of the system, and analytics to understand large scale battery life trends.' Apple defines the Apple Watch battery on its Watch product page. It says its all-day battery life is based on 18 hours of use. All-day battery life: This includes 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use, and a 30-minute workout with music. Audio playback: The battery will last up to 6.5 hours when playing music. Talk time: Apple said the Watch can be used for up to three hours for calls. Workout: During this test the Watch lasted for seven hours when a workout session was active and the heart rate sensor was on. Watch: When used as a watch the device will last for 48 hours if checked five times an hour. Power reserve: When the Apple Watch's battery gets low it switches into Power Reserve mode letting users tell the time for up to 72 hours - with four time checks an hour. Charging time: The company said it takes 1.5 hours to charge the Watch to 80% and 2.5 hours for a full charge. Apple's tests were carried out in March 2015 with a pre-production Apple Watch and software paired with an iPhone using pre-production software. Apple said battery life varies with environmental factors, use, configuration, and 'many other factors' so actual results will vary . As the site suggests, this shows Apple is looking to boost the battery on iOS devices but also its range of MacBooks. Apple's larger iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have been found to last about eight hours with heavy usage and up to 22 hours with normal usage - although its difficult to quantify what 'normal usage' is and this can differ from person to person. These times have only been beaten by Samsung's latest Galaxy S6. Apple also said its new 12-inch MacBook uses 30 per cent less energy than the previous model and could last more than nine hours on a single charge.", "summary": "AppleInsider spotted nine listings in the past month relating to batteries .

Builders in Turkey have accidentally found one of the largest and most complex underground cities in the otherworldly region of Cappadocia. The city lies beneath the Nev\u015fehir fortress (pictured). Three entrances to the impressive complex can be seen, leading to vast, winding tunnels . The subterranean city dates back around 5,000 years and was discovered when builders saw signs of a massive network of tunnels while moving mounds of Earth. It lies beneath the Nev\u015fehir fortress and the surrounding area, which was being excavated during a construction project carried out by Turkey's Housing Development Administration (TOK\u0130). The multilevel settlement is likely to include living spaces, kitchens, wineries, chapels, staircases, according to a report in National Geographic. The find is similar to the discovery of another underground city, Derinkuyu, which was made in 1963 when a man took down the wall in his basement. A view of the underground city newly discovered in Turkey's Central Anatolian province of Nevsehir, which is famous for fairy chimney rock formations. The city was built from volcanic ash rock . The latest find is thought to be the biggest underground city in Cappadocia, consisting of 3.5 miles (7km) of tunnels, secret churches, tombs and safe havens. Scientists have yet to discover all its secret passages . Cappadocia, or 'Kapadokya' in Turkish, translates as 'land of the beautiful horses' and tourists often catch a glimpse of long-maned horses galloping through the formations. Millions of years ago, volcanic activity covered the region under several layers of ash. Erosion then created a landscape of rock formations and spires known as 'fairy chimneys.' The volcanic rock, or 'tuff,' was soft and highly malleable, and proved ideal building material. The idea for underground cities came during the Byzantine-era when residents used them as hideouts when threatened by invasion by the Persians, Arabs and Seljuq Turks. The latest find is similar to the discovery of another underground city, Derinkuyu, which was made in 1963 when a man took down the wall in his basement. Derinkuyu was once home to 20,000 residents living together underground, in a city eleven levels deep with 600 entrances.

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.

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.

The brother of China's last emperor who was pushed off the throne more than 100 years ago has died. Puren was the youngest brother of the final Qing monarch Puyi, who ruled for four years until 1912. The 96-year-old died on Friday after being taken to hospital with pneumonia in February, his family said. He had been suffering from poor health and memory loss in recent years. One of his sons told The Legal Evening News that Puren - who took the Chinese name Jin Youzhi - was 'almost deaf'. 'He even couldn't hold a pen... he couldn't recognise people,' the son added. Puyi became emperor in 1908 when he was two years and ten months old. His abdication ended the rule of the Qing dynasty, which began in 1644. After the government took power in 1912 Puyi and his close family were forced to live within the walls of the Forbidden City, where they retained imperial traditions and were tended to by eunuchs. They were expelled from the palace complex in 1917. Puren established a primary school with the help of his father in the 1940s and continued to teach until he retired in the late 1960s. He reportedly had three sons and two daughters.

Nicole Mihai was told by New Zealand Immigration that once her Visa expires, she must return to Romania . 'I go to sleep at night and and wake up in the morning and think today may be the last day with my son,' Ms. Mihai told Daily Mail Australia. 'I go to sleep at night and and wake up in the morning and think today may be the last day with my son,' Ms Mihai said . Ms. Mihai separated from her New Zealand born partner after a two-year relationship. She was awarded full custody of their son, with her ex partner having little contact with Chris. Once they separated, immigration had Ms Mihai's Visa cancelled. 'I had to apply for a temporary Visa and residency,' she said. 'That was almost a year ago, and I've been fighting with them ever since.' According to Ms Mihai, the Immigration Agency have informed her that her application has nothing to do with Chris and therefore he is none of their concern. 'Immigration doesn't take all of the facts into consideration,' she said. In order for Chris to move to Romania to be with his mother, his father would need to sign a contract allowing him to go, which Ms Mihai strongly doubts.

Police in Shanghai revealed today that they had seized three million knock-off condoms - thought to be worth nearly \u00a31.3 million on the black market - after they broke up a large operation covering eight provinces. Officers said the lubricating oil used on the condoms at one production line in Henan province was so disgusting that it made them feel sick, according to the People's Daily Online.

Cheap raw materials - consisting of plastic strips and elastic bands - were used to make the condoms in makeshift workshops. But the gang still sold the condoms at the regular price of \u00a34.20 for a pack of 12 via their own online shop, contacting potential customers via social media.

+{"article": "Men with advanced prostate cancer could benefit from a pioneering drug originally meant for women. Clinical trials show that olaparib can delay the moment when the disease gets dangerously out of control. The drug already works for women with cancer fuelled by BRCA gene mutations, the defect that led to actress Angelina Jolie having her ovaries removed. New \u2018exciting\u2019 new research suggests the drug, already used to treat women with breast cancer, could also help men with genetic faults within their prostate cancer (pictured) tumours . Up to 30 per cent of men with advanced prostate cancer have tumours that have DNA defects and these respond particularly well to olaparib. The London trial of olaparib, which is owned by AstraZeneca, was led by researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research and the Royal Marsden hospital. They found 16 out of 49 men with advanced prostate cancer responded to the drug, also known as Lynparza. It stopped prostate cancer growth, generating lower tumour cell counts in the blood and improved responses in medical scans. The drug - called olaparib - can extend the length of time that a prostate cancer patient lives with the disease without it getting worse, according to new clinical trials. Olaparib is the first cancer drug to target inherited genetic mutations. It is one of the first of a new class of drugs called PARP inhibitors. PARP inhibitors work by blocking the cancer cell\u2019s ability to repair damage. Cancer cells that have a mutation in a BRCA gene rely completely on the PARP protein to fix the damage. PARP inhibitor drugs suppress this protein and can stop BRCA mutated cells from growing so they eventually die. Side effects from traditional anti-cancer treatments are reduced because only cancer cells with genetic defects are targeted. Most of the men who had detectable DNA repair mutations had disease control lasting much longer than expected. This suggests the men most likely to benefit from the drug could be identified by testing to look for mutations. Olaparib became the first of a new class of drugs called PARP inhibitors to be granted approval last month for use in ovarian cancer by the European Commission and the US Food and Drug Administration. The inhibitors work by blocking the cancer cell\u2019s ability to repair damage. Cancer cells that have a mutation in a BRCA gene rely completely on the PARP protein to fix the damage. The inhibitor drugs suppress this protein and can stop mutated cells from growing. Side effects from traditional anti-cancer treatments are reduced because only tumour cells with genetic defects are targeted. Professor Johann de Bono, who was the trial chief investigator, said: \u2018This opens up the exciting possibility of delivering precise treatment for advanced prostate cancer, guided by genomic testing and based on the molecular characteristics of patients\u2019 tumours. 'It shows that PARP inhibitors can be effective in a wider group of patients than had been thought \u2013 in men as well as women, patients with mutations in their tumours as well as those with inherited mutations, and in those with a", "summary": "Olaparib is the first cancer drug to target inherited genetic mutations .

She told presenters Phillip Schofield and Amanda Holden how Jenna had started a relationship with Packer, who was 28 years older than she was, when she was a teenager. But shop worker Jenna found Parker, a nightclub doorman, could be obsessive and controlling so she eventually ended their relationship. However, Nikki said he then wouldn't leave her sister - then aged 21 - alone. She recalled: 'In 2009 she left him saying she wasn't happy. He was very controlling, obsessive and jealous. 'He wouldn't stop contacting her. He would ring 300-400 times a day and that was just phone calls. There were also texts and visits.'

Nikki said neither she or Jenna realised how far Packer would go and 'kind' Jenna didn't consider reporting him to the police. Nikki said: 'My family and I were worried but she thought she had a handle on it. She never said she was frightened for her safety. 'She wasn't scared of him but it was unwanted attention - she made that clear to him but he persisted. She didn't go to police as she thought she could deal with it.'

William Ziegler, now 39, was jailed in 2001 (pictured) for the killing of Russell Allen Baker, an acquaintance of his who was found dead next to his house in Mobile the previous year . Ziegler (cetnre, with his mother, second left) had his conviction for capital murder quashed in 2012 after a judge blasted his initial trial, allowing him to cut a plea deal which saw him walk free today . Today he is a free man again after he agreed to plead guilty to aiding and abetting murder, with the judge sentencing him to the 15 years and 50 days he has already served, Al.com reported. The ruling, which has been hailed by Mr Ziegler's family, marks the second time in recent weeks that a death row prisoner has walked free. On April 3 Anthony Ray Hinton was released after spending 30 years in jail for a 1985 shooting in which two fast food managers were shot dead. His conviction was overturned after tests on the gun allegedly used in the shooting couldn't prove that it was fired during the killings. In Ziegler's case, he was arrested after the body of Baker was found in a wooded area close to his house in 2000. Witnesses reported seeing Baker arguing with Ziegler at a party that evening, eventually leading to Ziegler's conviction, along with two other accomplices. However, that witness, whose evidence was kept secret by prosecutors at Ziegler's initial trial, later recanted her testimony, one of the factors leading to the conviction being overturned. In November last year, state prosecutors had raised the prospect of a retrial for Ziegler, meaning he could have faced going back to death row if convicted for a second time. At his hearing today, Judge Sarah Stewart warned Ziegler against becoming bitter, adding that 'the world is a very different place than it was 15 years ago when you went to jail' Ziegler's release comes after Anthony Ray Hinton (pictured) was freed from death row two weeks ago after serving 30 years for a double murder he did not commit . Ziegler was determined to prove his innocence, according to his defence lawyers, but was reluctantly persuaded to accept a plea bargain for the chance to leave jail and escape another trial. During the hearing, Judge Stewart urged Ziegler to resist turning bitter and said she knew he recognized God's grace. 'I want you to appreciate that gift,' she said.

PSG were knocked out 5-1 on aggregate by Barcelona despite Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marco Verratti returning to the Ligue One side but coach Laurent Blanc was not really shocked. 'Those who follow Barcelona know the patience required to win the Champions League. You need the means, but also some patience,' Blanc said after the 2-0 defeat at the Nou Camp, which followed last week's 3-1 humbling at the Parc des Princes. Laurent Blanc looks on as his Paris Saint-Germain side were thrashed 5-1 on aggregate by Barcelona . 'The first qualified for the semi-finals are Barca and Bayern Munich. Paris will certainly be there one day but you have to understand we need time,' he said after PSG's third successive quarter-final exit in the tournament. Once again, Sweden striker Ibrahimovic failed to shine in a big game in which his attacking partner Edinson Cavani, despite his limitations, seemed more involved. PSG saw off Chelsea in the previous round but that was more of a one-tie thing, with Thiago Silva and David Luiz scoring after Ibrahimovic had been sent off in the second leg. Luiz was below-par in the last two games, being at fault on four of the five goals PSG conceded against Barca, but PSG's problems are collective, conceded midfielder Blaise Matuidi. Blaise Matuidi says that PSG are still not ready to win the Champions League and still have work to do . David Luiz was given a torrid time over the two legs and was at fault for four of Barcelona's goals . 'Barcelona are an institution, a club who have been at the top level for a long time, like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich,' the France international said. 'We have been around for five years only.' PSG were bought in 2011 by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), who invested massively in the club hoping to win Europe's premium club competition. While they never look threatened in the Group stage, PSG have been failing against top-notch opposition. 'Let's be realistic, they were better than us. They will probably win the Champions League,' Ibrahimovic admitted. Star men Zlatan Ibrahimovic (left) and Marco Verratti were unable to influence the game in PSG's favour . 'As far as we are concerned, it is not possible to reach that goal on short term. We have made several big steps and we were eliminated by a superb team. 'Let's not lie to ourselves, it's just reality.' PSG will now focus on winning the Ligue 1 title for the third consecutive season -- a goal more suited to their capacities -- with a possible treble on the cards as they won the League Cup and will play the French Cup final on May 30. They are second in the standings behind Olympique Lyonnais on goal difference but have a game in hand.", "summary": "PSG planned to be Europe's top side after major investments in the club .

+{"article": "A federal judge has approved a plan to resolve concussion lawsuits brought by more than 5,000 former players that could cost the league $1billion over 65 years. The deal comes after the league has been dogged for years by complaints that it long hid the risks of repeated concussions in order to return players to the field. The NFL expects 6,000 of nearly 20,000 retired players to suffer from Alzheimer's disease or moderate dementia someday. The settlement approved on Wednesday by a federal judge in Philadelphia would pay them about $190,000 on average. Senior US District Judge Anita Brody (left) approved the deal on Wednesday after twice sending it back to lawyers over concerns the fund might run out. Former Philadelphia Eagles fullback Kevin Turner (right) suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease and led the lawsuit against the NFL . The settlement also includes allowing for monetary awards of up to $5million per claimant for serious medical conditions associated with repeated head trauma. Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody approved the deal after twice sending it back to lawyers over concerns the fund might run out. The negotiators did not increase the original $765million plan, but agreed to remove that number as the cap. The deal means the NFL may never have to disclose what it knew when about the risks and treatment of concussions. Players' lawyers have argued that the settlement will help families get needed financial awards or medical testing that might take years if the case went to trial. The league expects 6,000 of nearly 20,000 retired players to suffer from Alzheimer's disease or moderate dementia someday. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell (above) has been criticized for not doing enough to prevent players from getting concussions . The league's top lawyer said Brody's approval 'powerfully underscores the fairness and propriety' of the settlement. 'Retirees and their families will be eligible for prompt and substantial benefits and will avoid years of costly litigation that \u2014 as Judge Brody's comprehensive opinion makes clear \u2014 would have an uncertain prospect of success,' NFL general counsel Jeff Pash said in a statement. The total NFL payouts over 65 years, including interest and $112million sought for lawyer fees, is expected to be more than $1billion. Critics contend the NFL is getting off lightly given annual revenues of about $10billion. However, plaintiffs would have first had to fight their way into court \u2014 instead of getting booted to NFL mediation under their players' contracts \u2014 to prevail. About 200 NFL retirees or their families have rejected the settlement and plan to sue the league individually including the family of former New England Patriots linebacker Junior Seau (above) Seau (above) committed suicide at his San Diego-area home in 2012 after several years of increasingly erratic behavior.

Legal papers filed in a south Florida federal court describe Jackson waging an eight-year trail of deceit in which he variously posed as Oprah herself, Oprah's nephew, Love, an executive at the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), and managers of Madonna and Johnny Depp. The earliest fraud, the papers said, saw Jackson trick a New York City jeweler into lending him items worth $2.4million by pretending to be Madonna's manager. He contacted a store in July 2007 and said she needed the lavish items for a photoshoot, the papers said. When he got the items, he reportedly sold them to another jeweler and fled. The court papers say he was convicted for grand theft over the ruse, but later dreamed up new celebrity-linked schemes. The latest claims say Jackson pretended to be Oprah and her representatives in the hope of getting more freebies - and even posed as the famous talk show host to recommend him for jobs. He allegedly sent letters on forged OWN stationery to five different hotel groups with locations in Florida, recommending himself for work at the locations.

Also named in the claims was Angel Agarrat, whom lawyers claim was also involved in the deception, and was subject of some of the bogus letters of recommendation for jobs. In one of the exchanges, Jackson allegedly suggested that if he and Agarrat were to be given work at the hotels, Oprah would make a personal appearance there.

It was damaged by fire during the rebellion of Welsh chieftain Owain Glyndwr in 1401 and sacked again in 1460. The remains of the castle include a four-storey Norman keep and gateway, a Jacobean mansion was built alongside the tower in 1660, and Victorian terraced gardens. The rescue plan also includes tackling the rambling ivy which is further putting parts of it at risk of collapse after damaging the stonework.

Google confirmed to Yahoo Finance in a statement that its current policy changed - meaning the company will store the balances for users of the mobile transfer service (similar to PayPal and Venmo) in multiple federally-insured banking institutions. This is good news for people who place large amounts of money in their Wallet Balance because the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures funds for banking institutions up to $250,000. Currently, Google's user agreement says funds are not protected by the FDIC. However, a Google spokesperson told Yahoo Finance that the current policy has changed. The policy states that 'funds held by Google Payment Corp. or its service providers (including any bank service providers) in connection with the processing of Payment Transactions are not deposit obligations of Buyer, and are not insured for the benefit of Buyer by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency', according to 9to5. As a non-banking institution, Google Wallet, along with PayPal and Venmo, is not legally required to be federally insured. But with the new change to its policy, funds in Wallet Balance are protected if anything were to happen to the company like bankruptcy. For example, for those who use mobile payment services where funds are not FDIC insured, if a company files for bankruptcy, the user would become their creditor and would be required to go through bankruptcy court to get their money back. But for users with FDIC insurance, they would receive their money from the government in a matter of days, according to Yahoo Finance. Details on when Google Wallet's user agreement will be updated were not provided. How Google Wallet works: . Google Wallet, launched in 2011, stores credit and debit card information, and lets shoppers pay for goods by tapping their phones against special terminals at store checkout counters. It works with any debit or credit card, on every mobile carrier. The service allows users to send money to anyone in the US with a Gmail address, or request money on-the-go, directly from their bank account, debit card or Wallet Balance. Users can spend received money through the service in stores or withdraw cash from ATMs with the Google Wallet Card, as well as transfer the funds directly to their bank account. It comes with 24/7 fraud monitoring, and users can disable their Wallet app or card from their Google Wallet account if they're ever lost or stolen. Source: Google Wallet .

The founders took 'aza' for 'blue' - think azure; and added 'mara', which has a hint of the maritime about it. And then, for good measure, they bolted on 'Club Cruises'. The thinking behind 'Club' was that it suggested exclusivity. The line - part of the Royal Caribbean group - has two ships in its fleet, Journey and Quest, which each carry about 680 passengers. The smaller size of the vessels means not only a more intimate on-board experience - as in TV's Cheers bar, it can become a place where everybody who serves you soon knows your name - it also means the ships can access ports off-limits to the bigger vessels.

There is also an unfeasibly wide selection of on-board eating places - there is a Tardis-like feel to the way that something that looks small from the outside can accommodate so much on the inside. Our first stop was St Tropez, which seemed to boast even more stunning luxury yachts than Monaco.

Loretta Burroughs, 63, sobbed throughout her sentencing as relatives of her late husband, Danny, talked about the horror of losing him and finding out that she chopped up his body and took his remains with her when she moved.

Crocodile tears: Loretta Burroughs, 63, pictured in wiping away tears in New Jersey Superior Court in Mays Landing Wednesday, was sentenced to 55 years in prison for the murder and dismemberment of her husband . Victim: Daniel Burroughs was missing for six years before his chopped up remains were found at his wife's home in Ventnor, New Jersey, in 2013 . Grief: Raymond Wantorcik, brother of murder victim Danny Burroughs, refers to a photo of the pair stating 'This is my best friend... I won't smile like that anymore' during the sentencing of Loretta Burroughs . She had told family and friends that he had left her for another woman shortly before the couple was due to move to Florida in August 2007. Investigators testified that the containers were each wrapped in nine trash bags, with air fresheners, dryer sheets and scented beads to mask the smell. They began re-examining the case after a family member provided new information to the new cold-case unit of the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office in February 2013. Loretta Burroughs said in addressing the court that the killing wasn't planned. But friends had said she didn't want to move to Florida, which was her husband's idea, and that was her motive for killing him. In sentencing her, Judge Michael Donlo said, \u2018This court has not seen anything so brutal and heinous as this since Al Capone ordered the St. Valentine's Day massacre.\u2019 The notorious Prohibition-era gangster was believed to be behind the slayings of seven people in Chicago on February 14, 1929, by hired killers dressed as policemen. Shaking his head at the defendant, Judge Donlo marveled that she had murdered her husband just so she wouldn't have to relocate to the Sunshine State. 'Wait until you see now where you're going to go,' he told her, according to Press of Atlantic City. Loretta Burroughs was found guilty last month of first-degree murder for stabbing her husband to death, dismembering him with a knife and a saw, packing the body parts into plastic containers, and dragging them with her as she moved three times in six years.

His change in appearance was 'so startling that my own fraternity brothers didn't recognize me'. 'Vijay the Indian-American frat boy became Jojo the African American Affirmative Action applicant to medical school,' he said, claiming that Jojo was the middle name he was born with. As an Indian-American with a GPA of 3.1, MCAT of 31 and a member of the South Asian Student Association, he didn't think he'd get into medical school, but with a change of appearance and switch of student organization, he thought he could get into some of the top schools in the nation.

'In all, I interviewed at eleven prestigious medical schools in 9 major cities across America, while posing a black man,' he added. Despite his startling claims, Chokal-Ingam fails to mention if he applied to the same schools at the same time as an Indian-American man.

In a landmark ruling, they undermined the idea that no foreigner should be thrown out of a country if it will interfere with their right to a family life. Eight judges of the European Court of Human Rights found that Russia was justified in deporting a 45-year-old man for breaking immigration laws even though he went to live there more than 20 years ago and has a Russian wife and son. Scroll down for video . Landmark: The European Court of Human Rights (pictured, with former president Sir Nicolas Dusan Bratza) has ruled Russia did not breach a father's right to a family life when he was deported in 2011 . Robert Muradeli had never committed a crime or any other offence more serious than traffic violations. But the Strasbourg court said that the Russian authorities had not breached any human rights rules when they deported him in 2011. It follows years of Tory frustration over the ease with which illegal immigrants and foreign criminals can dodge deportation or delay it for years by claiming that it would breach their right to a family life under the European Convention on Human Rights. A number of the 760 foreign criminals on the run in Britain have used the clause to block their deportation, and British judges have repeatedly upheld even the most spurious claim to a family life. MPs voted for new guidelines in 2012 which said that any foreign criminal sentenced to more than four years in jail should not be able to plead family rights as a reason to stay in Britain. Mrs May has also introduced a system under which foreign criminals are deported and only then allowed to appeal to the courts against removal. She has promised the system will be extended to illegal immigrants if the Tories win the election. Boost: Mrs May is hoping to be able to stop illegal immigrants and foreign criminals dodging deportation or delaying it by claiming their right to a family life . The European judges \u2013 whose rulings are supposed to be followed by 47 countries including Russia \u2013 heard that Georgian-born Muradeli had gone to Russia in 1992, had married in the city of Penza in 1994 and had a son in 1995. However, he failed to keep his permits up to date. Muradeli told the judges that his son needed a father, that his wife needed his financial support to pay back a property loan, and that his family had no links to Georgia. Lawyers for Russia argued that it was necessary to deport him to ensure immigration laws were obeyed. The Strasbourg ruling said that by breaking immigration rules Muradeli had \u2018demonstrated consistent disregard of the laws, regulations and public order of the host country\u2019.

Scientists say we know how far away the source of a sound is by listening to the echoes it produces. In a study they found that the reverberations of sound help us locate the distance of, for example, a car passing round a bend or a person nearby. Scientists at the University of Connecticut say we know how far away the source of a sound is by listening to the echoes it produces (stock image shown). In a study they found that the reverberation of sound helps us locate the distance of, for example, a car passing round a bend or a person nearby . The research was conducted by scientists from the University of Connecticut and published in the Journal of Neuroscience. They said that echoes and fluctuations in volume are the cues we use to figure out the distance between us and the source of a noise. Researchers have long understood how we can tell a sound's direction - whether it's to our left or right, front or back, and above or below us. From their heavy build and short limbs, to the shape of their skull and teeth, there are many ways that the anatomy of Neanderthals differed to our own. Now experts say that even a small bone in their ears are dissimilar to one in modern humans, raising the prospect that our extinct ancient relatives heard differently to us too. Researchers created a computer model of the middle ear bone of a Neanderthal child, whose remains were discovered in France 40 years ago. The remains from the two-year-old child, which are known as La Ferrassie 8, were discovered at La Ferrassie in the Dordogne, south western France, between 1970 and 1973. Asier G\u00f3mez-Olivencia, an Ikerbasque researcher at the University of the Basque Country in northern Spain, produced a 3D computer reconstruction of the remains. His work, published in The Journal of Human Evolution, reveals another anatomical difference between the Neanderthals and modern humans in the smallest ossicles of the body. But how we tell how far away it is had remained a mystery. 'The third dimension of sound location was pretty much unknown,' said Dr Duck Kim, a neuroscientist at UConn Health. The researchers suspected that the effect echoes had on volume - or amplitude modulation - could be key in our ability to perceive a sound's distance from us. To explore the idea, they used tiny microphones to record the sounds inside rabbits' ears as they played sounds at different locations. They used these recordings to simulate modulated or unmodulated noise coming from different distances from the rabbit. Then the researchers played the simulated sounds back to the rabbit, and measured the responses of neurons in the rabbit's inferior colliculus (IC), a region of the midbrain known to be important for sound perception. When the rabbit heard the simulated sounds, certain types of IC neurons fired more when the sound was closer -", "summary": "University of Connecticut study reveals how we can measure distances .

But we have a lot of confidence and we haven\u2019t lost so many times at home. The next game is going to be the decisive game.\u2019 Van Gaal is aware recent history spells doom for United. They have lost seven of the last nine Manchester derbies, including each of the last four.

City, few would dispute, have the better squad but, regardless of what happens in south London, will they be able to hold United\u2019s momentum? Can they match their spirit?

Arsene Wenger revealed the attacking midfielder has suffered a setback in his bid to return from a hamstring strain that has sidelined him since the FA Cup win over Manchester United on March 9. However, it is the recurrence of a long-standing groin problem that has caused the delay in Chamberlain's return to action, not the hamstring. Arsenal are trying to find a cure for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain\u2019s persistent groin problems . Oxlade-Chamberlain has been struggling with an ongoing groin problem for several months . The groin injury has been an ongoing problem for the England international for several months, but he, together with the club's medical staff, have managed it throughout the season. The root cause of the complaint remains unclear, with club doctors trying to establish a permanent cure for the problem. Arsenal are keen to surgery and are exploring other treatment methods to rid the former Southampton man of his groin discomfort. However, the option of an operation isn't being ruled out, though any procedure would only take place in the summer. Arsene Wenger has revealed the attacking midfielder has suffered a setback in his bid to return to fitness . The 21-year-old should play again this season but the fear is that the problem could recur . Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss at least two more weeks, meaning he will not be available for next weekend's FA Cup semi-final against Reading. The 21-year-old should play again this season, but the fear is that the problem could recur. Surgery would mean another busy summer for Oxlade-Chamberlain as he'd be required to complete a rehabilitation programme before pre-season. He was involved in Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad last year, but didn't feature owing to a knee injury. Fitness permitting, Oxlade-Chamberlain is also likely to be part of Hodgson's squad for Euro 2016 at the end of next season. Arsenal are close to signing 16-year-old Maxi Romero from Velez Sarsfield for \u00a34.5million . 'It is taking a bit longer than I thought because he has a groin inflammation,' confirmed Wenger. 'I hope it does not become a long-term problem but he faces a hurdle this week in training. 'We will see if he has recovered, so the end of the week and the start of next week are important to see if he got rid of that inflammation.

The 35-year-old was stabbed over 14 times before being knocked out with a mental bar after being held captive in her own home. Joanne Bolton, pictured in hospital, did not believe she was going to survive the horrific attack that saw her knifed more than 14 times .

Miss Bolton was already fleeing from a violent relationship when she met Young and jumped at the chance to move in with him after staying in a refuge.

Now, however, it seems our tastes are taking an Italian turn. According to industry figures released this month, we\u2019ve developed such a taste for prosecco that last year UK sales overtook those of champagne for the first time \u2014 \u00a3181.8 million compared with \u00a3141.3 million. It\u2019s been a long time coming. Prosecco may have found its way over here 30-odd years ago, but it was barely known beyond well-travelled wine lovers. One UK wine importer, David Gleave from Liberty Wines, tried to sell it in the late Eighties: \u2018I thought: \u201cThis is delicious \u2014 I\u2019m sure people will buy it.\u201d They didn\u2019t.\u2019 Scroll down for video . Britain has long seen prosecco as the second choice to champagne, now that's all changing as prosecco sales have overtaken for the first time . Sales bubbled along rather slowly, and by 2009 we were still only consuming just over two million bottles a year. Five years on, that\u2019s leapt to a massive 28 million \u2014 with most of the increase coming since 2012. So what\u2019s behind the remarkable rise of this once humble sparkling wine? Quite simply, it\u2019s word of mouth. The prosecco revolution was set against a backdrop of celebratory occasions \u2014 the Jubilee, the Olympic Games and a Royal Wedding \u2014 where cheap bubbles were called for. Suddenly, supermarkets began to see their sales soar and started clearing space on the shelves: it was time to take this loveable sparkling wine seriously. Until then, there had been only two types of bubbles to choose from. First, France\u2019s most famous sparkling export \u2014 champagne, from a region in northern France which sells nine million bottles in Britain each year. Made from a blend of three classic \u2018champagne\u2019 grapes \u2014 Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier \u2014 it gets its bubbles from a second fermentation in the bottle. It\u2019s then aged for at least 18 months in cellars, longer for \u2018vintage\u2019 champagnes. The second is Spain\u2019s sparkling equivalent \u2014 Cava. Most is made in Catalonia in the north-east using the Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarello grapes (although one of the classic champagne grapes, Chardonnay, can also be used). Cava isn\u2019t usually aged for as long in the producers\u2019 cellars before being sold compared with champagne, making it cheaper (17 million bottles are sold in the UK each year). While champagne is produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of northern France (pictured), prosecco comes from a particular area of north-eastern Italy, spanning the Veneto and Friuli regions . As for the flavours, cava tends to be more fruity and ripe than the comparatively richer, more complex flavours of champagne. But the new kid on the block, prosecco, is very different to both of these, not least because it\u2019s made in a different country.

Isabelle Obert, who runs Nurture Me Fertility, believes a diet rich in minerals, vitamins, essential fats and proteins can prepare both a man and a woman's body for conception. Writing for Healthista.com, Ms Obert said: 'I believe passionately that good nutrition is important for 'good' fertility.

Robert Ewing, 60, was said to have had an 'inappropriate sexual interest' in 15-year-old Paige Chivers and took advantage of her 'chaotic and dysfunctional' upbringing which had left her 'very troubled and vulnerable'. He is accused of murdering the schoolgirl, from Blackpool, Lancashire, between August 23 and August 27, 2007. Scroll down for video . Robert Ewing, 60, is accused of murdering 15-year-old Paige Chivers (pictured left as a young schoolgirl and right aged 15) after she disappeared from her family home in Blackpool, Lancashire, in August 2007 . Police investigate a site in Thornton Cleveleys in Lancashire during an earlier search for Paige's body . Paige was 15 when she vanished after a row with her father at their seaside home and, despite appeals from police and a \u00a312,000 reward offer from TV chat show host Jeremy Kyle, no trace of her has ever been found. Ewing was arrested in connection with her disappearance in September last year and is currently on trial at Preston Crown Court. The jury was told today how he allegedly rang police anonymously less than a fortnight before she went missing to tell officers that a 'problem child' had turned up on his doorstep having been thrown out by her father. Brian Cummings QC, prosecuting, told jurors that the Crown Prosecution Service believes he did so to 'test the water'. He told the court: 'We allege that he wanted to see what official reaction there would be to the suggestion of a 15-year-old girl turning up on the doorstep of a 52-year-old man and the answer he learned, we suggest, was very little reaction.' The court also heard how eight months after the schoolgirl's disappearance, Ewing's friend, Gareth Dewhurst, 46, was overheard in conversation saying he had used his car to dump the teenager's body. Mr Cummings said: 'He then went on to say: \"I didn't want to have sex with her, they made me\".' The prosecutor said a 'highly stoned' Dewhurst told a 16-year-old boy that Ewing had killed Paige and had then made him have sex with her before forcing him to use his car to dispose of her body.

A devout Christian has launched an appeal against an employment tribunal which found she had \u2018bullied\u2019 a Muslim colleague by praying for her and inviting her to church. Victoria Wasteney, 38, says she was branded a \u2018religious nutcase\u2019 when she was suspended from her job as a senior occupational therapist, after her colleague Enya Nawaz, then aged 25, accused her of trying to convert her to Christianity. Her lawyers have now submitted a challenge to an employment tribunal, arguing that they broke the law by restricting her freedom of conscience and religion - enshrined in article nine of the European Convention of Human Rights. Miss Wasteney, a born-again Christian, was working at the St John Howard Centre in Homerton, east London, when she became friendly with a junior colleague Miss Nawaz. The two women had discussed Islam and Christianity, as well as the work done by her church at the Christian Revival Church in the O2 Arena in Greenwich against human trafficking. When Miss Nawaz was upset about health problems, Miss Wasteney said she offered to pray for her \u2013 putting her hand on her knee and asking God for \u2018peace and healing\u2019. She also invited her to church events and gave her colleague a book, I Dared To Call Him Father, about a Muslim woman who converts to Christianity, but denied she was trying to make Miss Nawaz convert. Miss Nawaz went onto make a formal complaint, and the East London NHS Foundation Trust suspended Ms Wasteney on full pay from her \u00a350,000-a-year job for nine months while they investigated in June 2013. A disciplinary hearing upheld three complaints about the book, the invitation to attend church and Miss Wasteney\u2019s offer to pray for Miss Nawaz, and gave her a written warning for misconduct. She continues to work for the Trust, but not in her specialist field.

Lizzie, who will be returning to her native Texas for medical school in the fall at University of Texas San Antonio, was soon mocking up ideas for clothing incorporating the beautiful and unique imagery she'd seen on slides during her classes. Using mirroring, Photoshop and kaleidoscope effects, each biological subject was turned into an eye-catching pattern that could be printed on fabric. The designs in the line include scarves printed with rabies and chicken pox patterns, a flu of 1918 tote bag and yoga pants depicting polio, muscle cells and rabies. The patterns will also be available for printing on iPhone cases after the company, which has already raised $13,798, reaches its $15,000 crowdfunding goal.

Booted out: A Dartmouth College judicial committee has 'derecognized' Alpha Delta after several pledges received brands on their backsides . Regardless of the outcome of an appeal, Inge-Lise Ameer, interim dean, has the authority to withdraw recognition of Alpha Delta. She's taken evidence from the committee under advisement. Attorney George Ostler said last month Alpha Delta acknowledged a small group of members voluntarily chose to get brands on their backsides, but said the practice - which he compared to a form of self-expression akin to piercing and tattoos - was never a condition of membership and has since stopped. A sophomore pledge of Alpha Delta reportedly agreed to be branded on his backside in the fall of 2014, according to a whistleblower. By agreeing to the branding, the pledge would theoretically be allowed to avoid 'more drinking-intensive pledge activities'. When the pledge went home for winter break, he realized something was wrong with his brand and went to the doctor, Gawker first reported last month. Toga! The 46-year-old Greek organization partly inspired the 1978 National Lampoon's Animal House starring John Belushi (pictured center) He had to be hospitalized after it was determined the brand was infected.

+{"article": "Playing video games makes you better at learning than non-gamers, a study has claimed. Research found that gaming boosts the ability to learn a number of tasks more accurately, and possibly puts gamers in an 'expert category' of problem solving. But the researchers note they are not quite sure if gaming makes people learn skills better - or if people who learn skills better are more likely to become gamers. Playing video games (stock image shown) may not only improve the ability to perform visual tasks, but also the learning ability for those skills, a study by Brown University in Rhode Island has claimed . The research was carried out by scientists at Brown University in Rhode Island. To conduct the study, the researchers pitted nine frequent gamers against a control group of nine people who game rarely, if ever. They participated in a two-day trial of visual task learning. Subjects were shown an on-screen \u2018texture\u2019 of either visual or horizontal lines and had to quickly point out - in a fraction of a second - the one area where an anomalous texture appeared. Parents are in danger of being reported to police by their children's head teachers if they allow them to play video games for over 18s. A letter sent by a group of schools in Cheshire raised concerns about the 'levels of violence and sexual content' young people are being exposed to by playing games such as Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, which are renowned for their violent characters and have an 18 classification. It warns that if teachers are made aware their pupils have been playing these video games they will contact police and social services. The letter, sent by Nantwich Education Partnership, said allowing children to play these type of games on Xboxes and Playstations is deemed 'neglectful'. In visual processing research this is a standard protocol called a \u2018texture discrimination task.\u2019 Prior studies have shown that people can be trained to improve their performance in the task, but if they move on to a second task too quickly, it can interfere with the learning process. The researchers wanted to find out if gamers could overcome this interference better, compared to non-gamers. And the results showed that gamers managed to improve performance on both tasks, while non-gamers did what was expected. That is, they improved on the second task they trained on, but not on the first. Learning the second task interfered with learning the first.

Scroll down for video . Researchers at Yahoo Labs in California have created a sensor that can recognise the shape of your ear or any other body part you want to access your device (shown) Bodyprint was devised by Christian Holz, Senaka Buthpitiya, and Marius Knaust from the California-based Yahoo Labs. Details of its algorithm are included in their paper, Bodyprint: Biometric User Identification on Mobile Devices Using the Capacitive Touchscreen to Scan Body Parts. The Salt card is designed to end the tiresome task of manually unlocking a smartphone or tablet by automatically making it come to life whenever the user is nearby. The credit card-sized gadget also locks devices again as soon as a user moves out of range at a distance of ten feet (three metres). Salt connects to an app on a user\u2019s Android handset or iPhone via Bluetooth and also tells them if they have strayed too far from their wallet, where the firm suggests the Salt card is stored. The card was created by Illinois-based duo Joel Paglione and Niko Zistakis.. They claim it will save people around 53 hours over a year, based on the belief that the average phone user unlocks their phone 150 times a day. 'Recent mobile phones integrate fingerprint scanners to authenticate users biometrically and replace passwords, making authentication more convenient for users,' explained the researchers. 'However, due to their cost, capacitive fingerprint scanners have been limited to top-of-the-line phones, a result of the required resolution and quality of the sensor.' They continued that while the input resolution of a touchscreen is around six dots per inch (dpi) - meaning it can't capture the level of detail in a fingerprint - the surface area is larger than a more advanced reader. This allows the touch sensor 'to scan users\u2019 body parts, such as ears, fingers, fists, and palms by pressing them against the display.' To accept an incoming call, users would only need to press their ear against the phone. During tests with 12 participants, Bodyprint classified body parts with 99.98 per cent accuracy and identified users with 99.52 per cent accuracy.

'They have a number of quality players in their side and a lot of internationals while all of the teams are getting better year on year,' he explained. 'We really have to concentrate on what we are doing ourselves and keep getting results and hopefully that takes care of things and gets us into the play-offs in the coming weeks. 'I hope that gone are the days when the PRO12 is looked on as a lesser league, the teams and the talent involved now really is top class.'

But now the BBC has been accused of dumbing down the Proms \u2013 by holding an Ibiza-style dance party. This year's Proms will include a late-night concert hosted by DJ Pete Tong, who will pay 'homage to Ibiza and its infectious, energetic brand of club music'. Veteran dance DJ Pete Tong (left) will bring club classics to the Royal Albert Hall for this year's Proms. Pictured right is cartoonist Pugh's take on the 'dumbing down' of the Proms . It will take place on July 29, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Radio 1's broadcasts from Ibiza, and will reinterpret 'club classics' such as Music Sounds Better With You by Stardust and Rhythm Is Rhythm's Strings Of Life. Proms director Edward Blakeman said it was a 'natural' move, adding: 'These 20 years of dance have been a huge phenomenon on Radio 1 so why not celebrate it in a Proms way with a big orchestra? We do now live in a world, thank God, where you can like all kinds of music.' Live music at the so-called Pete Tong Prom will be played by the Jules Buckley Heritage Orchestra, which has worked with pop stars such as Arctic Monkeys, Professor Green and Basement Jaxx. When conductor Sir Henry Wood started the Proms in 1895, he wanted to inspire the public to enjoy top-class classical music. He had accepted a challenge from Robert Newman, manager of the new Queen\u2019s Hall, to \u2018run nightly concerts to train the public\u2019. The plan was to gradually raise the standard of music until they \u2018created a public for classical and modern music\u2019. Sir Henry more than lived up to that challenge. He conducted the first promenade concert, as it was known, offering tickets for as little as a shilling. Audiences could smoke, drink and eat, keeping the atmosphere informal. He established a tradition of playing Wagner on Mondays and Beethoven on Fridays, later adding Debussy, Strauss, Rachmaninov and Ravel. The Proms moved to the Albert Hall in 1941 after the Queen\u2019s Hall was bombed. By the time of Sir Henry\u2019s death in 1944, they were firmly established as the highlight of the classical music calendar. The BBC was accused of 'undermining' the Proms by Conservative Bill Cash, who said: 'The Proms are one of the great British institutions. Like so many institutions, it is under attack by people who think that being novel is necessarily good. The world loves the Proms as they are. It is extremely damaging to undermine the ethos of the Proms by bringing in fake originality. 'The Proms already have a good, convivial finish, and that is part of the tradition, but to undermine the framework and ethos of the Proms is unacceptable.'

Forty-year-old Andrew Steele had pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the August 22 shooting deaths of his 39-year-old wife, Ashlee Steele, and her sister, 38-year-old Kacee Tollefsbol of Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Defense attorneys argued that the disease damaged Steele's brain, making him not criminally responsible for the deaths. Scroll down for video . Former Wisconsin sheriff's deputy Andrew Steele, pictured in court earlier this month, has been found not legally responsible in the killing of his wife and sister-in-law on Thursday . This undated photo provided by Rachelle Putnam shows Ashlee Steele, left, and her sister, Kacee Tollefsbol, both were found dead of gunshot wounds at Steele's home in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, last August . A jury deliberated for about 10 hours until all but two of the 12 agreed the verdict early on Thursday. During Steele\u2019s trial earlier this month forensic psychiatrist Dr. Doug Tucker had testified that a rambling note Steele wrote about suicide and sexual relations with his wife and sister-in-law was delusional and showed Steele's brain was deteriorating because of ALS. Tucker said that was the reason Steele killed the two and that he was 'unable to conform his conduct to the law.' The defendant had claimed he blacked out during the killings. Steele had been diagnosed with the progressive neurodegenerative disease last June. Lou Gehrig's disease, also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, attacks motor neurons, cells that control muscles. Prosecutors believed Steele planned the killings. The State had asked all witnesses if Steele had memory issues before that day in August, and they all said no. Defense attorneys argued that Lou Gehrig's disease had damaged Steele's brain, making him not criminally responsible for the deaths . Family: The couple, pictured, had two children, and had been together for 26 years . In a mostly incoherent, stream-of-consciousness letter written by Steele the day before the murders, the former deputy claimed he had had a sexual relationship with his sister-in-law and enjoyed 'numerous threesomes' with Kacee and his wife, reported the station WIBA. The typo-riddled note also stated that when Kacee and Ashlee learned of his ALS diagnosis, they proposed a suicide pact. According to Steele, the women wanted to jump off a cruise ship together, poison themselves with carbon monoxide inside a car, or shoot themselves with his service weapon. 'See you all on the other side,' the note concluded. The missive was last edited on Steele\u2019s phone just after 6am on August 22. About seven hours later, a mortally wounded Kacee Tollefsbol called 911 saying she and her sisters had been shot. Dr Tucker testified that there was no evidence to support Steele's claims that he had been in a three-way relationship with his wife and sister-in-law. Friends of Kacee Tollefsbol also said in court that her and Steele's relationship did not go beyond that of a brother and sister, reported Wisconsin State Journal.", "summary": "Former Wisconsin sheriff's deputy Andrew Steele, 40, has been found not legally responsible in the killing of his wife and sister-in-law .

Overnight, she had been struck with Transient Global Amnesia, a form of memory loss brought on by stress that had wiped the 'episodic' part of her memory. Naomi Jacobs was 32 when she woke up one morning having lost her memory of the past 17 years of her life . The last thing she could remember was falling asleep in her bunk bed as a schoolgirl, dreaming about a boy she had a crush on. She thought it was 1992, John Major was prime minister and she was about to sit her GCSEs. Mobile phones were still the size of a house brick, the internet a mystery - and her 10-year-old son was a stranger.

Before her attack, Miss Jacobs, of Manchester, was worrying about a homeopathy business she ran. She was studying for a psychology degree and had her final exams approaching, and had recently split up with the father of her child. The condition caused the 'episodic' part of her memory to shut down, meaning she had lost all her emotional memories. But her semantic memory was still intact, meaning she could remember things she had repeated over time such as how to drive and phone numbers she had regularly dialled.

She is now set to detail how she began to understand who she was in a new book, titled Forgotten Girl.

The theory has surfaced in a letter to the respected Financial Times newspaper from aviation boss Matt Andersson, president of Chicago-based Indigo Aerospace. The French Alps tragedy which occurred on the flight between Barcelona to Dusseldorf has been widely blamed on co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, 28. He is believed to have barricaded himself in the cockpit of the GermanWings A320 Airbus before flying the packed plane into the mountainside as the captain fought desperately to get inside. Scroll down for video . Disaster: An aviation expert says an external factor like 'electronic hacking' could have been to blame for the Germanwings plane crash that claimed 150 lives .

But he writes in the FT: 'That may be, but it could be from any number of causes, including external electronic hacking into the aircraft's control and navigation systems through malware or electromagnetic interception.' 'This is one reason military and head-of-state aircraft are generally installed with specific shielding and additional active protective measures,' and he stresses: 'Civilian aircraft are not.' Mr Andersson says the public should reserve final judgment until the investigators have completed their enquiries and come to a firm conclusion. He added: 'The public should patiently wait for a through, multi-party professional air safety investigation, while maintaining an independence of judgment over preliminary official hypotheses.'

The former Light Blues midfielder steered his new side to their third victory on the bounce with Sunday's 2-1 win over Hearts. It was a crucial triumph that moves Gers back into second place in the Scottish Championship and looks to have restored vital momentum ahead of the end-of-season play-offs. Stuart McCall says he was warned not to take the Rangers job but is pleased that he took the risk in the end . McCall has managed to unite a forlorn band of players since taking over a month ago and quickly transformed them into real promotion contenders. But he has revealed nine-in-a-row boss Smith - who McCall says was the 'greatest manager' he ever worked for - called to make sure the former Scotland international knew what he was letting himself in for when he agreed to replace Kenny McDowall. McCall, who still does not know if he will remain in charge beyond the summer, told TalkSport: 'Walter Smith rung me up on the day I took the job and asked if I knew what I'd let myself in for. 'But in fairness, he understood I would never have got the opportunity to manage such a wonderful club like this [were it not for the club's current circumstances].

Now scientists believe they have found evidence of what may lie behind 'the gift of the gab'. Brain scans on a group of professional comedians has revealed differences in the way the brains of these 'super speakers' work while talking. The ultimate wheeler dealer, Del Boy's gift of the gab came from a difference in the way his brain worked . Compared to the less silver tongued among us, the super speakers \u2013 which also included a barrister and a radio presenter \u2013 showed less activity in a key area of the brain involved articulating and comprehending speech. This suggests that this group were putting less effort into the basic mechanics of speech, allowing them to devote more resources to what they were going to say next. Sarcasm is often described as the lowest form of wit, but it seems you need the right kind of wits in the first place to be able to recognise it. Neuroscientists have identified the area of the brain that is the key to picking up on when someone is being sarcastic. They found that people with damage to the right sagittal stratum - a bundle of white matter that lies between the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures in the brain - are unable to detect sarcasm. Stroke survivors often suffer damage to this area of their brain and struggle to recognise when family and friends are being sarcastic. Dr Joe Devlin, a neuroscientist at University College London, told the Guardian: 'The fact that they show less activity there reflects the fact that they simply find speech less effortful and I suspect part of that has to do with practice. ' The findings may also help to explain why some people dry up completely when asked to speak. Dr Devlin and his colleagues used magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brains of 17 professional comedians, a radio presenter and barrister. They were asked to lie in the scanner while talking for 30 seconds on random topics without hesitation, deviation or repetition \u2013 a task based on the BBC 4 panel show Just a Minute. Among the comedians taking part were Robin Ince, who presents a show with physicist Brian Cox, Richard Herring and Helen Keen. They were compared against a control group of students, who, according to Dr Devlin, were far less adept at the task. Super speakers were found to have less activity in Broca's region of the brain, shown in the image above . Dr Devlin said: 'One of the participants was given \"Scotland\" and just said \"I've never been there\", and that was basically it. 'We asked them to speak about \"a perfect cup of tea\", topics that should've been easy for everyone.

+{"article": "The Tennessee Supreme Court postponed execution dates for four inmates, effectively halting all executions while the courts decide whether current protocols for putting people to death are constitutional. Tennessee last executed a prisoner in 2009. Since then, legal challenges and problems obtaining lethal injection drugs have stalled new executions. In 2013 and 2014, the state tried to jump-start the process with a new one-drug lethal injection method and the reinstatement of the electric chair as a backup. The Tennessee Supreme Court has vacated the execution dates of the last four men on the state's death row as new lethal injection methods are challenged. Above, electrocution has been designated as a backup method . Beginning in December 2013, the court set new execution dates for 11 inmates. One inmate died in prison, and the execution dates for the others have been postponed as they approach because of legal challenges to the new methods. On Friday, the court postponed the last of the scheduled execution dates. It will set new dates after the legal questions are settled. States across the country have been struggling to find a method of execution that will stand up to legal challenges. And obtaining lethal injection drugs has been getting harder. As manufacturers have refused to sell drugs to prisons for executions, prison officials across the US have turned to compounding pharmacies, which make drugs specifically for individual clients. But those versions have also become difficult to come by because pharmacists are reluctant to expose themselves to possible harassment. Last month, the American Pharmacists Association adopted a policy discouraging its members from providing drugs for lethal injections, saying that runs contrary to the role of pharmacists as health care providers. Death row inmates challenging Tennessee's lethal injection method recently submitted an affidavit from University of Utah College of Pharmacy professor James H. Ruble that questions whether even a willing compounding pharmacist could provide the pentobarbital that Tennessee and several other states need for executions. Leroy Hall Jr, 48 (left) and Nicholas Todd Sutton, 53 (right) were both convicted of murder in 1991 and 1985, respectively. They no longer have dates for execution in Tennessee . Donald Strouth, 56 (left) and Abu-Ali Abdur'Rahman, 64 (right) were also both convicted of murder, though the European Union has called for Abdur'Rahman, who is believed to be mentally ill, to be allowed to live . Ruble says in the affidavit that the main ingredient for pentobarbital is unavailable from the six primary commercial sources that compounding pharmacists buy their ingredients from. The Tennessee Supreme Court's recent ruling will vacate the execution dates for Leroy Hall Jr, 48, Donald Wayne Strouth, 56, Nicholas Todd Sutton, 53, and Abu-Ali Abdur\u2019Rahman, 64. Hall was convicted of premeditated murder and aggravated arson after burning his ex-girlfriend to death in 1991. Strouth was convicted of murdering a clothing store owner in 1978 by slitting his throat after he was knocked unconscious with a rock. Sutton was sentenced to death for stabbing a fellow inmate to death in 1985 after originally being sent to prison for child molestation.

In a YouTube video, six dancers are seen performing the provocative and popular move along to music while stood in front of the Malaya Zemlya monument in Novorossiysk, southern Russia. Prosecutors said their 'erotic and sexual twerk dance' was disrespectful to those who fought in the war and jailed two of the women for ten days and a third for 15 days. Scroll down for video . 'Hooliganism': Three women have been jailed after releasing a video of their dance group twerking in front of the Malaya Zemlya monument in Novorossiysk, southern Russia . Two others escaped with fines, while another dancer avoided punishment altogether as she was under 16 - with a reprimand being handed down to her mother instead. According to the BBC, prosecutors said: 'This incident of disrespect for the memory of war history is unacceptable and any attempts to desecrate sites of military glory will be stopped immediately.' The Youtube video currently has more than 400,000 views and sees the six dancers performing a well-choreographed one and a half minute routine. After surfacing earlier this week,it was brought to the attention of the mayor of Novorossiysk, where the women are from. The mayor was said to be 'outraged' and personally charged officials with identifying the names of the performers - who posted the video to attract new recruits to their modern dance school . 'We condemn these women. Every inch of this land is covered in blood. It is inappropriate,' said Viktoriya Dikaya, the press secretary for the city's education department. Recruitment video: The one minute 30 second clip was posted by the women to encourage people to join their dance school . Punished: Two of the girls were jailed for ten days, while a third was sentenced to 15 days in prison. Two others were fined, while the sixth dancer escaped punishment as she was under 16 . Prosecutors are now said to be carrying out checks at the institutions where the women, who were all under 30, are enrolled, to make sure they are in compliance with 'programs aimed at ensuring respect for the law among their members', reports RT.com. The Malaya Zemlya memorial, completed in 1982, commemorates a battle to free Novorossiysk from German occupation in 1943.

Mr Bezos' firm, called the Blue Origin company, has long spoken of its desire to take paying astronauts into the cosmos. And now it has performed the first successful test of the vehicle they hope will make that dream a reality. Scroll down for video . Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin company has completed a successful spaceflight test in West Texas (shown). The New Shepard vehicle rose to a height of 58 miles (94km) - four miles short of space - before landing. It was unmanned, but will ultimately take six people into space . The test took place from the company\u2019s launch site in West Texas. Called New Shepard, the vehicle consists of a main booster rocket and a six-seater capsule on top, standing 60ft (18 metres) tall. The New Shepard system will take astronauts to space on suborbital journeys. It includes a Crew Capsule carrying six astronauts atop a separate rocket-powered Propulsion Module, launched from the firm's West Texas Launch Site. Following liftoff, the combined vehicles accelerate for approximately two and a half minutes. The Propulsion Module then shuts off its rocket engines and separates from the Crew Capsule. The Propulsion Module will finish its flight, descend to Earth, and autonomously perform a rocket-powered vertical landing. The Crew Capsule will go on to coast to the edge of space, providing astronauts with a view to the curvature of the Earth and the beauty of our planet. After descent and re-entry into Earth\u2019s atmosphere, the Crew Capsule will land under parachutes no more than a few miles from the launch site. In addition, the New Shepard vehicle will provide opportunities for researchers to fly experiments into space and a microgravity environment. For this, the first test flight of the entire architecture, it was unmanned - but the company hopes to soon start taking customers into space. The cost of a ticket has not yet been announced, but estimates suggest it will be around \u00a3130,000 $200,000 - similar to a flight on Richard Branson\u2019s Virgin Galactic. The difference, however, is that while Galactic relies on using a plane to slowly rise into the atmosphere, New Shepard takes off straight up and lands back on the ground. This is known as vertical takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL). And Blue Origin is also much more secretive - with this successful test flight taking many by surprise. In video released by Blue Origin, the booster - using liquid hydrogen and oxygen - lifts the New Shepard vehicle to an altitude of 58 miles (94km). This is four miles (six kilometres) short of the official boundary of space - the Karman Line - although there does not seem to be any problems with reaching this boundary in future.

Born Bradley Manning, the 27-year-old former intelligence analyst was convicted of espionage in July 2013 for sending a trove of classified documents to the WikiLeaks website and was subsequently sentenced to 35 years prison. One month after being found guilty, Manning announced that he had always identified as female and planned to start living as a woman named Chelsea Elizabeth Manning, officially switching names in April 2014. In February this year, after suing the Defense Department, Manning was approved for hormone treatment, allowing the former Army private to make the transition into a woman while serving out her sentence. Speaking: Chelsea Manning, 27, the soldier convicted of leaking a trove of secret documents and sentenced to 35 year prison, has given her first in-depth interview since announcing plans to transition into a woman . Manning, a former army private who enlisted as Bradley, has had her name officially changed to Chelsea and recently received approval to undergo hormone therapy for gender reassignment while in prison . She was also permitted to have some amenities, including makeup and underwear, but is not allowed to grow her hair long, which she sees as a major affliction. Just this month, Manning started Tweeting and interacting with supporters online from prison. There is no internet access, making it a complicated process that involves her dictating messages over the telephone. Now, Manning has done an interview for the May edition ofCosmopolitan, which was conducted through written letters back and forth. Manning said not being able to grow her hair is 'painful and awkward', because she is forced to reject one of the biggest physical transformations her body will go through now she is taking hormones. 'I am torn up,' she told the magazine. Revelations: In the new interview, Manning speaks of a tumultuous childhood, why she enlisted in the military, and realizing she was a woman trapped in a man's body . 'I get through each day OK, but at night, when I'm alone in my room, I finally burn out and crash.' Manning grew up with a dysfunction home life in Oklahoma, and that combined with bullying at school made him retreat into denial. He found solace by sneaking into his older sister's room and trying on her clothes makeup. She had a mirror that allowed you to see yourself under different lighting, which Manning found fascinating. Manning was constantly being called 'girly boy' and 'faggy' at school, however his father would tell him to 'man up' in the face of such comments. This caused Manning to get into a lot of fights at school, she says. After her mother attempted suicide and her marriage to Manning's father brokedown, she moved with her mother to Wales. Of attending high school in overseas, Manning recalled: 'I don't think I ever said \"I'm gay\" or \"I'm trans.\" It was more like, \"Is it normal", "summary": "Chelsea Manning gave an interview to Cosmopolitan from Fort Leavenworth prison in Kansas, serving 35 years for violating the Espionage Act .

+{"article": "Celtic are considering a second double raid on Dundee United for teenager John Souttar and striker Nadir Ciftci. The Tannadice club sparked a row with supporters when they sold star duo Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven to the Parkhead club on deadline day in January. Jackie McNamara\u2019s side have won just three of their 14 games since, and lost 3-0 at home to Ronny Deila\u2019s side on Sunday. Dundee United midfielder John Souttar (right) challenges for possession with Celtic's Kris Commons . Heavily linked with Ciftci in January, the Norwegian has also earmarked 18-year-old Souttar as potential cover for Scott Brown and Nir Bitton in a holding midfield role. The teenager has recently impressed in the middle of the pitch since switching from central defence. Ciftci and Souttar are under contract until May next year and could go for a combined fee of \u00a31.5million. Admitting there is huge pressure on the Europa League contenders not to sell any more players to Celtic, however, United No 2 Simon Donnelly said: \u2018I think that\u2019s always going to be there. All the drama that was whipped up over the stuff in January wasn\u2019t helpful to the club, but we as coaches and the manager just have to try and focus on our job here. You are always going to have interest and speculation. We\u2019ve had to deal with it for the two years we\u2019ve been here.\u2019 Adding to the pressure on United was the public release of a clause in manager McNamara\u2019s contract entitling him to a cut of any transfer profits. Celtic are also interested in signing striker Nadir Ciftc from Dundee United . Insisting Tannadice minds are focused on securing a European slot next season, Donnelly played down talk of a move for Ciftci or anyone else, adding: \u2018Nadir is a Dundee United player, so it\u2019s our job in the next five games to go and try to reach Europe and Nadir will help us do that.\u2019 Meanwhile, referee Steven McLean will be back in the firing line this weekend for the first time since he and his officials missed a crucial hand-ball by Caley Thistle defender Josh Meekings in Celtic\u2019s Scottish Cup semi final defeat to Inverness at Hampden on April 19. The duo are likely to cost Celtic around \u00a31.5million, the second double raid on the club after signing Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven . Celtic, who had been leading 1-0 at the time, went on to lose 3-2 and subsequently wrote to the SFA demanding an explanation. Meekings was hit with a notice of complaint by SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan, which could have seen him miss the final, but Inverness were successful in contesting the charge. As a result of the fall-out, McLean was spared a top-flight assignment last week, serving as fourth official in Motherwell\u2019s trip to Hamilton, but will be back in the middle on Saturday for the bottom-six clash between Kilmarnock and Accies at Rugby Park.", "summary": "Celtic considering bids for Dundee United's John Souttar and Nadir Ciftci .

Analysis suggests there is up to 100billion barrels of the fossil fuel under the Home Counties. The potential goldmine in the Weald Basin, across Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and Kent, could meet up to a third of Britain\u2019s oil demand within 15 years, according to the consortium exploring the area. Scroll down for video . UK Oil & Gas Investments say they have discovered 100billion barrels worth of oil reserves in the Weald Basin, near Gatwick airport (pictured, the well head at Horse Hill) A map showing the location of the oil and gas deposits within the Weald Basin, which are thought to lie at between 2,500ft and 3,000ft below the ground . This could reduce reliance on oil from the Middle East and Russia and could be a major boost for British industry at a time when the North Sea supply is dwindling. But industry experts remained sceptical of the claims, with one describing them as \u2018overly optimistic\u2019. Since 1975, of an estimated 100billion barrels of oil in the UK North Sea, only 45billion have been pumped out. It is believed another 20billion barrels can be recovered before extraction becomes too difficult. Experts warned last night that only a fraction of the Weald Basin oil may be accessible for extraction. They also claimed fracking could be required to retrieve significant volumes. Stephen Sanderson, the chief executive of UKOG, said the site at Horse Hill was 'world class' and had the potential for 'significant daily oil production' at this proposed drilling site . Horse Hill Developments consortium made the discovery during test drilling in a well five miles from Gatwick Airport. UK Oil & Gas Investments, which has a 30 per cent stake, said \u2018cutting-edge\u2019 data suggested the oilfield holds 158million barrels per square mile \u2013 equating to 100billion barrels across the basin. At current crude prices, this could be worth \u00a33.7trillion. Stephen Sanderson of UKOG, which insisted it would not use fracking, said: \u2018By 2030, we could produce 10 per cent to 30 per cent of the UK\u2019s oil demand from within the Weald area.\u2019 Neil Ritson, of fellow consortium firm Solo Oil, said it was of \u2018major economic significance\u2019. If flow tests showed oil could be extracted, the production process could begin within 18 months, he added. US firm Nutech, which conducted the tests, estimated 3 per cent to 15 per cent of the oilfield could be extracted \u2013 up to 15billion barrels. UKOG chairman David Lenigas said drilling in the Weald could create \u2018many thousands\u2019 of jobs. Although the exploration site covered 55 square miles out of 1,100, he said the consortium was confident the entire region was oil-rich. Works: The well is situated in this container on the proposed drilling site . Exploration: Experts are now trying to work out how much of the oil will be properly recoverable .

Obama took aim at Russia, China and Iran as he revealed an executive order which will allow the U.S. Treasury to freeze or block assets of those involved in attacks on 'critical' American computer networks. The announcement followed a series of high profile incidents, including a devastating attack against Sony Pictures, and data breaches that stole credit card or health data on tens of millions of Americans. 'National emergency': Obama unveiled plans to impose sanctions on hackers after an epidemic of attacks . 'It\u2019s one of the great paradoxes of our Information Age \u2014 the very technologies that empower us to do great good can also be used by adversaries to inflict great harm,' he wrote in a blog post on Medium. Obama said cyber attacks - many which originate from overseas - 'pose one of the most serious economic and national security challenges to the United States'. He added it required more than 'diplomacy, law enforcement, and cooperation with other nations and the private sector' to tackle. He wrote: 'It's often hard to go after bad actors, in part because of weak or poorly enforced foreign laws, or because some governments are either unwilling or unable to crack down on those responsible.' Obama said hackers working in China and Russia target America's defense contractors and the systems designed to support the country's troops, while hackers in Iran were targeting banks and North Korea went after Sony. Michael Daniel, special assistant to the president and cyber security co-ordinator, said the new sanctions would 'go after the worst of the worst of malicious cyber actors', while Obama assured people they would 'in no way target the unwitting victims of cyberattacks,' such as people whose computers are hijacked. However, they did not reveal any specific targets, but officials told the Financial Times it could be used against individual hackers hired by companies or countries. Threat: The attacks included last year's Sony pictures hack - allegedly carried out by North Korea. Pictured: The secretive state's leader, Kim Jong-un .

One of Australia's most prestigious universities will review its methods of plagiarism detection after it was claimed dozens of students who paid to have assignments written will not be punished because the university cannot identify them. Chinese-born Yingying Dou, 30, reportedly ran the MyMaster website which charged up to $1000 per assignment and was used by hundreds of students across 12 NSW universities. The University of Sydney was provided with evidence that its students had ordered 40 assignments from the MyMaster website after an investigation by Fairfax Media. But internal emails show just five students have been found guilty of cheating, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. In an email to the university's deputy vice-chancellor, Head of Student Affairs Idena Rex said the uni was able to identify 'a maximum of five students' who used MyMaster. Ms Rex said the students were identified using plagiarism prevention software Turnitin, but the software is not used in all University of Sydney subjects meaning other students guilty of cheating could not be identified. A University of Sydney spokeswoman said 'substantially more than the reported five students' are currently under investigation after the university was provided with 40 unnamed assignments. Ms Dou has denied knowing anything about the website MyMaster website which has now been taken down . Two students from the University of Newcastle have been expelled and eight have been suspended . 'Upon completion of the investigation, the University will pursue disciplinary pathways as appropriate across its student and alumni bodies,' the spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia. 'Failure to adhere to the University's high standards of academic merit, intellectual rigour and ethical behaviour could constitute misconduct, resulting in serious penalties such as failure or exclusion. She added that a review of the policy and procedures surrounding plagiarism is currently underway. Another institution - the University of Technology, Sydney - said it had identified 15 university students guilty of using the MyMaster website after being provided with 94 examples. 'In 21 of the cases there was no evidence that any piece of work was carried out and these have been discarded,' UTS's Deputy Vice-Chancellor Shirley Alexander told Daily Mail Australia. 'The remainder, involving the use of false names (49) or where only receipts exist (nine), are still under investigation to determine if the students involved can be identified.' Students (a stock photo is shown) reportedly paid up to $1000 for their essays to be written for them . Professor Alexander said potential penalties range from a minimum of a zero mark for the subject to permanent exclusion from the university. 'The most common penalty would be suspension from the university for a semester, which is noted the student's record,' she said. This comes after another institution - the University of Newcastle - last month said it had expelled two students, suspended eight students and found 21 others guilty of misconduct.

Paramedics pronounced him dead about an hour later and the Delaware Division of Forensic Science ruled Adeyinka\u2019s death a homicide, according to the News Journal. The husband, Adebamiro, their two children and a nanny had been living at the home for two years. Adebamiro, 35, and the victim had been married for more than ten years, although she told police he had physically abused her while she was pregnant, cheated on her with several women and sent her to Nigeria on multiple occasions. She said he last sent her to Nigeria over Christmas so he could spend it with the nanny's daughter. Detectives determined there was a verbal argument that led to a physical altercation. The argument allegedly began after the victim found photos on Adebamiro's cellphone that she had taken of pictures he had stored on his mobile phone. The stored pictures were of Adebamiro's sister and the nanny's daughter. At some point after the argument, a single stab wound severed the victim's carotid artery and jugular vein. Adebamiro's story about what happened changed several times and she suggested that her husband killed himself as well as mentioned a power outage that never happened. She did not ever admit to the killing, but investigators felt there was enough evidence to charge her.

+{"article": "Mark one up for the future of golf over its past and present as 21-year-old Jordan Spieth took the first-day honours with a stunning opening round of 64 on a spectacular day of scoring at the sun-baked 79th Masters. For much of the day it looked as if he might have to share top billing with 34-year-old Justin Rose and 45-year-old Ernie Els, as the Englishman and the South African posted scores of 67 to tie Charley Hoffman, an American representative of the rank and file. Last man out Jason Day would join them in the evening shadows. But by then Spieth had separated himself from the field to become the youngest first-round leader in Masters history with a fabulous run of six birdies in seven holes before adding a wonderful flourish at the 18th, where he brushed in a 25-foot birdie putt. Runner-up on his debut last year, he now owns a three-shot lead going into day two. Jordan Spieth sinks his birdie put on the 18th at Augusta to take a three-shot lead into the second round . Justin Rose made the early running with an impressive five-under-par 67 . Rose consoles Gunn Yang after the amateur finished his round on 13 over . Most of the favoured names left Augusta National feeling reasonably content, as Rory McIlroy and defending champion Bubba Watson shot 71, while Dustin Johnson and Masters specialist Phil Mickelson opened with rounds of 70. Whether they will be feeling quite so content at falling so far behind such an awesome talent as the brilliant Texan is another matter. Spieth has barely been off a leader-board all year and there was no chance of him being off this one during this round where he hit flagsticks, holed putts from everywhere and enjoyed the requisite amount of fortune as well as a wayward drive at the 13th bounced off the Georgia pines into the middle of the fairway. It meant when he stood on the par-five 15th tee he was eight under after a scarcely credible 10 single putts on these treacherous greens. At that moment anything seemed possible \u2014 even a 62, thereby setting a new standard for scoring in the 155-year history of majors. Only once all day did he act his age and it was here on this risk-reward par five, as he ran up a six. Naturally, Spieth was not about to get greedy. \u2018I made a mistake but a 64, my first score in the sixties on this course, I have nothing to complain about,\u2019 he said. A packed crowd watch Rose on the 10th green during the first round . Rose and Charley Hoffman (above) made the early running at Augusta with a 67 . South African Ernie Els rolled back the years with a superb 67 on Thursday . Rose in full bloom on day one is a sight as familiar as the glorious azaleas.

+{"article": "A set of stone flakes shaped more than 3.3 million years ago could be the world's oldest tools created by early human ancestors, according to researchers. Archaeologists have revealed that they have discovered 20 stone flakes and anvils - used to help shape the tools - just west of Lake Turkana in Kenya. The discovery could fundamentally change the current view of human evolution as - if correct - the date of the stone tools is 700,000 years older than any others found previously. The stone tools were discovered buried in sediment along the west coast of Lake Turkana (above) in Kenya . It means that ancient human ancestors were creating tools hundreds of thousands of years before the appearance of the first 'man' - the start of our branch of the evolutionary tree known as Homo. Many experts have long believed that it was the use of stone tools by early species of Homo like Homo habilis and Homo erectus that helped set them apart from other human-like species. 55 million years ago - First primitive primates evolve . 15 million years ago - Hominidae (great apes) evolve from the ancestors of the gibbon . 8 million years ago - First gorillas evolve. Later, chimp and human lineages diverge . 5.5 million years ago - Ardipithecus, early \u2018proto-human\u2019 shares traits with chimps and gorillas . 4 million years ago - Australopithecines appeared. They had brains no larger than a chimpanzee's . 2.8 million years ago - LD 350-1 appeared and may be the first of the Homo family . 2.7 million years ago - Paranthropus, lived in woods and had massive jaws for chewing . 2.3 million years ago - Homo habalis first thought to have appeared in Africa . 1.8 million years ago - Homo ergaster begins to appear in fossil record . 1.6 million years ago - Hand axes become the first major technological innovation . 800,000 years ago - Early humans control fire and create hearths. Brain size increases rapidly . 400,000 years ago - Neanderthals first begin to appear and spread across Europe and Asia . 200,000 years ago - Homo sapiens - modern humans - appear in Africa . 40,0000 years ago - Modern humans reach Europe . Scientists behind the discovery now believe ancient species known as Australopithecines - typified by the fossilised skeleton called Lucy - or Kenyanthropus made the tools. Professor Sonia Harmand, a palaeolithic archaeologist at Stony Brook University in New York who led the team that discovered the tools, said they stumbled across them by accident. The team had been searching for the site where a controversial human relative called Kenyanthropus platyops had been discovered in 1998. But after taking a wrong turn they came across another area and spotted what looked like stone tools on the sandy surface. Professor Harmand, who was presenting her findings at the annual meeting of the Paleoanthropology Society, said: 'The artifacts were clearly knapped [created by intentional flaking] and not the result of accidental fracture of rocks.' The tools were found at a site known", "summary": "Archaeologists have found 20 stones shaped by early humans using 'simple techniques' close to the west shore of Lake Turkana in Kenya .

+{"article": "Easter is here! And whilst many Australians are enjoying an abundance of sugary treats, many are wondering how much it's going to cost them around the waistline. According to the ABC, the key is to maintain an even balance of 'energy in' and 'energy out.' This means that the energy we put into our bodies through food and drink must be equated with exercise to burn the energy and avoid gaining weight. A small chocolate bunny contains 2212 kjs and would take an hour and ten minutes of swimming to work off . Indulging in two hot cross buns (without jam and butter) will take up to 50 minutes of running to work off . It may be surprising how much physical exercise it takes in order to burn off even the smallest of Easter treats. For four solid mini chocolate Easter eggs it would take 30 to 40 minutes of walking to work off the 550 kilojoules. A female of average weight would need to walk for the full 40 minutes, whereas an 80 kilogram male could burn it off in 30 minutes. One medium chocolate bunny takes two and a half to three hours of kayaking with women needing to paddle for half an hour longer than men to work it off. The key for Easter indulgence is noting our 'energy in' and 'energy out' and balancing food and fitness . Experts are advising that it is better to manage our energy consumption than to try and work it off afterward . Two hot cross buns takes up to 50 minutes running and if you have lathered it with butter and jam, it would take 80 minutes of running. Exercise physiologist Alex Lawrence from Exercise Sport Science Australia has said that many Australians still struggle to maintain a healthy weight as most do not realise how many kilojoules are in the foods we consume. 'It's a lot more efficient to manage your energy consumption, than to try and work off the energy after you've taken it in,' he said. Lawrence is not proposing that we all go and heavily exercise after consuming a small treat. He advises that it is better to make exercise and healthy eating part of your lifestyle so that you can indulge in treats every now and then. 'What we're trying to encourage people to do is make better lifestyle choices; to eat treat foods in moderation and to make sure they are physically active most of the time. That way when holidays, like Easter, come around they don't have to feel like they have to deny themselves,' he said.", "summary": "The key for Easter indulgence is noting our 'energy in' and 'energy out' For four mini Easter eggs it would take 30-40 minutes of walking to work off .

The Spaniard in his second season in charge was with his back to the wall after their surprise 3-1 first leg defeat in Portugal last week. Never had one of his teams lost before the semi-finals in the competition but that prospect suddenly seemed real. Bayern Munich celebrate in front of their delighted fans after overturning a first leg deficit to reach semi-finals . Thiago Alcantara jumps highest to head the home side in front on 14 minutes and set the Bayern on their way . Damned to succeed, Guardiola repeatedly said he was aware of what he needed to deliver at the five-time European champions for who a league and German Cup double was just not enough. He arrived at Bayern after their 2013 treble-winning season and expectations have not been lowered since. A semi-final exit last season only heightened pressure on Guardiola to deliver another treble this time round. But plagued by injuries in recent months and a rare internal strife after long-time team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt quit after 38 years, saying his medical team was blamed for the loss to Porto, Bayern had a far-from-perfect preparation. The doctor is hugely respected by Bayern players with many saying they would continue taking his advice and Guardiola suddenly in the firing line for allegedly falling out with a Bayern icon. Pep Guardiola said after the game that winning is a matter of life and death at Bayern . Robert Lewandowski made it three on 27 minutes as the Poland striker powerfully nodded the ball into the net . Failure to advance against Porto would have added to an already difficult week and would no doubt fan speculation about the coach's future in Munich despite having a contract to 2016. With Premier League clubs circling, a slip-up on Tuesday could prove decisive for both the club and the coach. But the Spaniard, who won 14 titles in his four seasons at Barcelona, thrived under adverse conditions with his team playing arguably their best game this season, even without injured Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger and David Alaba. Bayern frontman is congratulated by Mario Gotze (left), defender Rafinha (centre) and Thomas Muller . 'I felt it in the last few days that we would advance,' Guardiola said after Bayern fired five goals in 26 first-half minutes. 'This is about life or death and I know how very important it was,' he said. 'I know what is expected of me in this team. It is about winning just like at Barcelona.' Fans are now dreaming of a trophy on German soil in June's final in Berlin and with players gradually returning from injury, Guardiola is confident Bayern will further improve. 'We can play even better,' he said in what is no doubt a warning to other title contenders. 'After the loss in Porto the players were my heroes. Now it's easy", "summary": "Bayern Munich beat Porto 6-1 in the Champions League quarter-final . The Germans advanced 7-4 on aggregate after a 3-1 defeat in the first leg .

+{"article": "A police officer feared for his life when he fired the final shots in a barrage of bullets that killed two unarmed suspects, a court has heard. Michael Brelo, 31, made his first appearance in court in Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday charged with two counts of voluntary manslaughter for the deaths of Timothy Russell, 43, and Malissa Williams, 30. He is the lone officer among the 13 who fired their weapons that night who is charged criminally because prosecutors say he stood on the hood and opened fire four seconds after the other officers had stopped shooting. Brelo's attorney Patrick D'Angelo conceded that his tactics could be called into question given that Brelo exposed himself to danger when he stepped onto the hood of a beat-up Chevy Malibu to fire 15 rounds into the windshield of the suspects' vehicle. But Brelo and 12 officers who shot a total of 137 rounds into the car in November 2012 had ample reason to believe that Russell and Williams were shooting at them, he said. Self defense? Michael Brelo's attorney opened the case insisting the 31-year-old (pictured today) had reason to believe he was being shot at when he jumped on the car and shot dead Timothy Russell and Melissa Williams . D'Angelo said he wasn't calling what Brelo and the other officers did that night heroic. 'They are simple, ordinary people who try to do the best they can and are put in very dangerous situations,' he said. Brelo, charged with voluntary manslaughter, is the only officer charged because prosecutors said he waited until after the initial salvo had ended to reload and discharge the last of the 49 rounds he fired that night. A judge will decide whether Brelo is guilty or innocent. He faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison if convicted. Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Rick Bell revealed that experts have concluded that another officer fired three rounds during Brelo's 15-shot volley, something defense attorneys have argued in motions. Bell said a medical examiner has concluded that Brelo fired 'kill shots' into Russell and Williams and that they were still alive when Brelo fired from the top of a police cruiser and the trunk of the Malibu, striking Williams 11 times and Russell six times, when they were no longer a threat to anyone. Brelo fired out of a sense of rage and vengeance after he and his partner became one of the first cars to join what would be a 19-mile chase on city streets and freeways with speeds reaching 100 mph, Bell said.

Still wearing his boots and kit, he was finally reunited with his father in Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield. Those hours represented the worst of his life but given that other families lost loved ones that day, McCall has always declared himself and his father the fortunate ones.

Wandsworth council in London has announced that it is set to remove the rule giving an automatic place to a pupil's brothers and sisters even if the family has moved out of the catchment area. This comes after it was revealed that 80,000 children face missing out on their preferred primary school, with more than 20,000 at risk of being denied any of their preferred choices. In the most oversubscribed areas, four in ten pupils are expected not to get a place at their favourite school amid an escalating crisis over places fuelled by a baby boom and immigration. Wandsworth council has announced that it is set to remove the rule giving priority to pupils' siblings, pictured is Honeywell School which has a catchment area of just 182 metres . Wansdworth, which is an affluent borough, has decided to remove sibling priority from September 2016 in a bid to make the process fairer and give priority to children who live closest to schools. The change was also considered in Leeds and is expected to spread to more local authorities within the next few years, according to The Times. Families who move more than 800 metres from their preferred school in Wandsworth will lose their automatic entitlement to a place for younger brothers and sisters. A spokesman for the council said: 'A lot of people are getting school places then moving miles away, in some cases cashing in on house prices while retaining the school place. Siblings then get priority over children living closer to the school. The consultation was drawn up because parents were getting upset about this.' Honeywell, which is one of the most popular schools in Wandsworth, has a catchment area of just 182 metres, despite taking 90 children. None of the appeals for places at the schools were successful. Justine Roberts, Mumsnet CEO said: 'Giving priority to siblings is tricky; as one Mumsnet user says, 'it's lovely until the kids who live next door to the school can't get in'. 'For parents of two or more, having children at two different primaries can be a logistics nightmare; but for parents of only children, or to those whose children can't get in to nearby schools, it can feel pretty unfair. More than 80,000 children face missing out on their preferred primary school, with 20,000 at risk of being denied any of their preferred choices . 'On balance, most seem to think it would be sensible to restrict sibling priority to those families still living close to the school.' Wandsworth council announced the decision to consult parents on the changes in September last year. Speaking at the time, education spokesman Cllr Kathy Tracey said: 'There has been a growing clamour from parents asking us to look at this rule because of mounting evidence that local school places are being offered to children living some distance away simply because they have an older sibling already enrolled there.'

Vice President Joe Biden, accompanied by Loretta Lynch's father Lorenzo Lynch, second from left, and her husband Stephen Hargrove, second from right, administered the oath of office on Monday . 'We can restore trust and faith both in our laws and those who enforce them,' Lynch said, apparently referring to race-riot clashes between protesters and police . 'It seems like such an understatement to say my heart is full, but it is,' Lynch said. 'I have to thank the president for his faith in me and asking me to lead the department that I love to even greater heights.' Vice President Joe Biden administered the oath of office to Lynch at a Justice Department ceremony. Lynch replaces Eric Holder, who left the job Friday after six years as attorney general. The 55-year-old Lynch was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday following a months-long delay in which her nomination became caught up in a dispute over human trafficking legislation. 'Ladies and gentlemen, it's about time,' Biden said to applause. 'It's about time this woman is being sworn in,' he declared. 'We got tired of this wait.' 'But you showed such grace and such humility during this whole process,' he added, turning to America's newly minted top cop. Lynch paid an emotional tribute to her family during a brief speech after she took her oath. 'If a little girl from North Carolina who used to tell her grandfather in the fields to lift her up on the back of his mule so she could \"see way up high, Granddaddy\" can grow up to become the chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America, we can do anything.' She also outlined her hopes for the twilight months of the Obama presidency, saying she was driven by 'the desire to leave this world a better place for us having been a part of it.' 'The challenge in that \u2013 for you, for me, for all us that love this department and love the law \u2013 is to use the law to that end. To not just represent the law and to enforce the law, but to use it to make real the promise of America, the promise of fairness, the promise of equality, of liberty and justice for all.' Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer, the senior senator from Lynch's home state of New York, gushed about her personal story on Monday. 'She is the ultimate professional: thoughtful, hardworking, keeps her nose to the grindstone, and is able to bring both sides together,' he said.

+{"article": "President Barack Obama secretly granted the CIA an exemption relaxing restrictions on drone strikes in Pakistan after enacting more stringent rules in 2013 to reduce the risk of civilian casualties, it was revealed today. According to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the story Monday citing current and former government officials, Obama gave the spy agency a pass on providing proof that intended targets of drone strikes posed an imminent threat to the US. Had the CIA been subjected to the same stringent rules as other agencies, argues the article, the January drone strike that killed two hostages, one of them an American, could have been postponed or even prevented entirely. Innocent victims: Al Qaeda hostages Dr Warren Weinstein (left), a 73-year-old economic adviser from the US, and 39-year-old Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto (right) were killed in a botched drone strike in January, which US officials say could have been postponed had it not been for a relaxed drone policy . President Obama, seen here April 23 addressing the death of the two captives, reportedly has granted CIA a waiver exempting the agency from providing proof of imminent threat to the US ahead of planned drone strikes . Without Obama's waiver, CIA operatives would have been forced to gather additional information and surveillance data on the al Qaeda-linked militants targeted in the January 15 strike, which may have delayed it, possibly sparing the lives of Dr Warren Weinstein, a 73-year-old economic adviser from the US, and 39-year-old Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto. The CIA was seeking to destroy an al Qaeda compound in Pakistan when the two captives were killed, along with Ahmed Faruq, an American described as a leader of Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent. Al-Qaeda's English-language spokesman, a California rocker-turned jihadist, Adam Gadahn, died in a separate strike. Lo Porto disappeared in January 2012 in Pakistan, just a few days into his second stint in the country. A native of Sicily, Lo Porto previously worked in Croatia, the Central African Republic and Haiti. Weinstein was snatched after gunmen tricked their way into his home in Lahore on August 13, 2011 shortly before he was due to return home after seven years working in Pakistan. He later appeared in a video in which, under apparent coercion, he asked the United States to free Al-Qaeda prisoners. Weinstein's widow said in a statement that \u2018we are devastated by this news and the knowledge that my husband will never safely return home.\u2019 President Obama last week publicly apologized for the hostage deaths and took 'full responsibility' for all counter terrorism operations. Several investigations into the botched drone strike, including by the CIA and US Congress, are expected to take place in the coming months.

Using statistics from Sleep Cycle app users, researchers have discovered that the earliest wake-up time worldwide is on a Monday in South Africa. While on Tuesdays, Americans rise at 7am and are in the worst mood all week. In terms of national average sleep quality, Slovakia topped the list. The UK was in 45th place, while the US was in 49th. The best sleep quality worldwide occurs on a Wednesday night. More than half (58 per cent) of countries surveyed said they had the most restful sleep on this day . Other countries that wake-up grumpy on Tuesdays include Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, South Africa and Brazil. The Sleep Cycle app tracks a user's sleep as they go through a cycle of sleep phases. It uses the phone's accelerometer to identify phases by tracking movements in bed and wakes users up during their lightest sleep phase, using a pre-defined 30-minute alarm window. It has more than two million active users and gathered data for the study between 1 June 2014 and 31 March this year from users aged 18 to 55 in 47 countries. Other insights from this data include that the best sleep quality worldwide occurs on a Wednesday night.

But the 355-foot scientific platform is genuine and has been used by the US Office for Naval Research for more than 50 years. The RV Flip does not have its own engine and has to be towed to the location of scientific study, where it turns 90 degrees, leaving just 50 feet above the surface. The reason behind the flip, is that with 300 feet below the surface, the vessel becomes incredibly stable. Instead of bobbing up and down on the waves like a traditional boat, it keeps its position. Scroll down for video . While floating on the surface the RV FLIP looks as if the back of the vessel has suffered a catastrophic accident leaving only a spine . As the vessel sinks below the surface, it looks like it is about to break up and plunge to the bottom of the ocean . The vessel uses a system of ballast tanks which fill with water to shift the centre of gravity in the vessel moving it to 90 degrees . After 20 minutes, the RV FLIP is safely positioned at 90 degrees allowing the researchers to begin their various experiments . It is used to measure underwater acoustics as well as water temperature. It can be also used for oceanography, meteorology and marine mammal observation. The vessel can accommodate five crew and up to eleven researchers for up to 30 days. Once the vessel is towed to its location it 'flips' within 20 minutes by pumping water into several ballast tanks, sinking the front section of the vessel under the waves. After the vessel completes its flip, areas which were previously bulkheads become floors, and the floor becomes a bulkhead. In the bathroom, there are two sinks at right angles to each other so the crew can wash their hand no matter which way the vessel is pointed. The vessel was launched in 1962 when its unique ability to measure sound underwater would have been vitally important for the development of submarines during the cold war. In recent years, it has been far more concerned with studying marine life far below the surface. In 2010, the vessel was deployed to research wind and swell conditions to help improve weather models. Inside the bathrooms the designers have installed sinks which are at 90 degrees to each other to cope with the flip process . The designers initially considered converting a submarine for this unusual mission but soon decided starting from scratch was better .

He\u2019s my priority and the reason I drive myself so hard.\u2019 As a single mother, running a hugely successful business is a tall order. What makes Petra\u2019s success even more extraordinary is that she started her company when Noah was just a baby \u2014 and in the wake of a broken marriage. Petra\u2019s flagship beer, St Mungo lager, is stocked in 100 branches of Waitrose in the UK as well as in branches of Tesco in Scotland.

Petra (pictured) was inspired to start her own brewery when her father visited her Glasgow and she realised that the city didn't have its own brewery . He ordered a pint of local lager, took a sip and winced. Then he asked what the best Glasgow lager was and, to my horror, I realised I didn\u2019t know. \u2018In Germany, every village and town has a good brewery. It\u2019s something people are proud of and want to show off to visitors. He couldn\u2019t believe that a city like Glasgow didn\u2019t have its own brewery.

And in the video he seemingly reaches the bottom of the 660ft (200 metes) hole before swimming back to the surface. French free diver jumped into Dean's Blue Hole in the Bahamas. Guillame N\u00e9ry is seen at the edge before taking the plunge (shown). The hole is 660ft (200 metres) deep, although he doesn't go to the bottom. Free divers are able to hold their breath for more than 20 minutes . The video was filmed in 2010 by the Frenchman's girlfriend and fellow freediver Julie Gautier. It takes place at Dean\u2019s Blue Hole in the Bahamas, the deepest so-called \u2018blue hole\u2019 in the world with an underwater entrance. In order to stay alive, the brain is constantly telling the body to breathe. If you don\u2019t obey its primitive urges, carbon dioxide soon starts building up in the body, prompting an overwhelming desire to take a gulp of air. To fight that instinct, a competitive breath-holder has to work hard at expanding his lung capacity with a regular series of intensive breathing exercises. They practise \u2018static apnoea\u2019 once or twice a week, as well as \u2018dynamic apnoea\u2019 - holding breath while swimming - once in a while for fun, and also general fitness training.

However, N\u00e9ry revealed a few years ago that he didn\u2019t really reach the bottom of the hole - it\u2019s just filmed that way for artistic reasons. But the video is still incredibly impressive, as he holds his breath for minutes on end. Freediving is a form of underwater diving where no scuba gear or breathing apparatus is used. To breathe for minutes, free divers go through sophisticated mind-body control techniques to push self-induced apnoea - the science of not breathing - to the limits. Some free divers can hold their breath for more than 20 minutes. Stig Severinsen, for example - nicknamed The Man Who Doesn't Breathe - is the holder of multiple records in diving using his 'State of Zen' technique to control his breathing. In October 2012, Mr Severinsen broke the record for the longest time breath held voluntarily by a male by spending 22 minutes with his head submerged in a pool in London.

The Commons expenses watchdog, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, had launched a bid to keep MPs' original claims secret. But the Court of Appeal ruled today that it must release all the copies of receipts and invoices which have been submitted by politicians. The legal action centred on whether copies of original documents should be published - rather than a summary of the claim put in by MPs. The case stems from a Freedom of Information request to Ipsa in 2010 - just a year after the MPs' expenses scandal erupted - asking for three specific receipts submitted by politicians in support of their claims. But instead of providing the original receipts, Ipsa sent back a typed-up summary of the claims. The Information Commissioner later ruled that the receipts themselves should have been published - but Ipsa continued to fight the case. Today's ruling comes six years after the MPs expenses scandal broke - triggering the most explosive British political scandal in a generation. Voters reacted with fury at the list of extraordinary claims submitted by MPs - with jaw-dropping details of fraud, fake receipts and payouts for ornamental duck houses and moat cleaning. Yet, today's latest court ruling shows the the scandal has refused to die, six years and almost two general elections later. After dismissing the privacy appeal today, Lord Justice Richards said the receipts could still not be published in full - to give Ipsa time to appeal again to the Supreme Court. An Ipsa spokesman said after the ruling: 'We need to study the judgement carefully. The court made clear that this is an important test case with implications not just for Ipsa but for all other public bodies. 'We were right to test the point of law through an appeal to see whether images of receipts add anything additional to all the information about MPs' expenditure that we already release.' The spokesman added: 'We remain completely committed to openness and transparency and already publish a detailed breakdown of every claim made by every MP.' Lord Justice Richards said that although the appeal was concerned with three specific invoices or receipts 'it is a test case and has important implications for Ipsa and, no doubt, for other public authorities'. He said Ipsa publishes details of claims on its website but does not publish copies of the supporting invoices or receipts. In 2010 Ben Leapman, then a Sunday Telegraph reporter, made a request to Ipsa for the information contained in three such documents to be sent to him.

RSPCA inspectors were called to the house after they received numerous calls from residents living nearby in Lawrence Weston, Bristol, who were worried about the animals. Photos taken when they visited show a small horse standing on muddy ground in a passage just over a metre wide, which is blocked at one end with a gate. RSPCA inspectors were called after a horse was seen living in an alleyway so narrow it could not turn round . Another picture shows a horse chained to the ground, with little room to move. The animals are thought to have been kept at the site by the side of a house for around a month and are understood to have been moved on by their owners following warnings from the RSPCA. Andrew Hiles, 65, who lives nearby, said: 'The situation has got worse and worse. 'This has been the case for the last month. It was certainly a cause for much concern. The horses had no way of turning around, and the horse box was just left by the road side. 'Those were some terrible conditions to live in, and it is not like they have a stable or somewhere nice. It has been going on for a while. I would like to know how they even came to own these horses. 'As far as I know, a lot of us had been calling the RSPCA and asking them to do something, but I don't know if that's the case.' They found another horse, which was larger, and was living at the site chained to the muddy ground . The alleyway where the horse was kept is at the bottom of a muddy slope, and the other horse was kept chained to the ground on a grassy area nearby. Both horses were removed on Wednesday after complaints from neighbours and a warning from the RSPCA. But Margaret Hiles, 61, is still worried and added: 'We don't know what has happened to the pair of them, or where they have gone. I don't think the RSPCA has taken them, they have just been moved. The smaller horse was stuck at the base of a muddy garden, trapped in an incredibly narrow alleyway . A spokesman from the RSPCA said: 'We have received calls from concerned members of the public about two horses being kept in a garden in the Lawrence Weston area of Bristol.

+{"article": "President Barack Obama has ordered the release of 22 drug dealers - including eight who were serving life sentences. Nearly all of the offenders who Obama granted clemency to were convicted of dealing addictive, hard drugs like crack cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. Eight of those whose sentences were commuted - an act the White House said continues Obama's push to make the justice system fairer - were serving terms of life in prison. The effort is aimed at reducing harsh sentences for those who faced outdated guidelines at their time of sentencing and would be serving shorter punishments had they been convicted today. Barack Obama has granted clemency to 22 drug offenders who were sentenced under outdated guidelines . In December, Mr Obama issued his first round of commutations under new guidelines that were put in place to cut costs by reducing the growing prison population and grant leniency to nonviolent drug offenders sentenced to years long terms of confinement away from society. A commutation leaves the conviction in place and ends the punishment. Neil Eggleston, the White House counsel, said many of the 22 people whose federal sentences will be cut short by Mr Obama's action would already have served their time and paid the debt they owed society had they been sentenced under current laws and policies. 'Because many were convicted under an outdated sentencing regime, they served years - in some cases more than a decade - longer than individuals convicted today of the same crime,' Mr Eggleston said in a post on the White House blog. The 22 individuals, whose punishments will expire on July 28, were sentenced between 1992 and 2006. Mr Eggleston said Tuesday's commutations underscore Obama's 'commitment to using all the tools at his disposal to bring greater fairness and equity to our justice system.' Mr Obama has now approved a total of 43 commutations during more than six years in office. Mr Eggleston noted that Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, had commuted 11 sentences during his two terms. Dwight Anthony Goddard (left) from Georgia, was imprisoned for 235 months for possession with intent to distribute cocaine base . In a letter, the president urged each individual to take advantage of the second chance he is giving them. The White House said it was the first time Obama had sent such letters. 'I am granting your application because you have demonstrated the potential to turn your life around. Now it is up to you to make the most of this opportunity,' he wrote. 'It will not be easy, and you will confront many who doubt people with criminal records can change. Perhaps even you are unsure of how you will adjust to your new circumstances.

Camoji allows people to add Instagram style filters to their images before sharing them. The GIFs are created in the Camoji app. Once downloaded, users simply tap on the shutter icon to record an animated gif that is up to 2 seconds long. They can then add filters and other effects - similar to Instagram.

The GIFs are created in the Camoji app. People that have Camoji installed see a Reply button that launches Camoji right from the Messenger conversation so they can quickly record and send a GIF of their own. This type of back and forth is exactly what makes the entire experience beautiful and seamless. 'App discovery is a major challenge for developers,' said Carlos Whitt, Camoji CEO.

The two incidents have raised concerns about the security of shipping lanes in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said. News of the first incident was revealed by the Pentagon after Iranian guards seized MV Maersk Tigris this week, by firing warning shots across the vessel's bows. ranian patrol vessels fired warning shots across the bridge of the Marshall Islands-flagged cargo vessel the Maersk Tigris Tuesday morning and seized it for trespassing just days after it had 'harassed' another ship . In the April 24 incident, four Iranian patrol boats with the country's elite Revolutionary Guards 'harassed a US-flagged merchant ship called the Maersk Kensington' as it moved along an established shipping route, said Mr Warren. The Iranian vessels 'followed her for approximately 15 to 20 minutes in actions the ship master of the Kensington interpreted as aggressive,' he said. The American military was not involved in the incident and the Kensington's captain later filed a report with the US Navy describing the event. Just four days later, Iranian boats forced a Marshall Islands-flagged ship, the Maersk Tigris, to Iran's Larak Island after firing warning shots across the bows and boarding the vessel. Iran has said it seized control of the container ship due to a commercial dispute with Denmark's giant Maersk group, which chartered the vessel to ferry cargo in the region. When it was intercepted, the Tigris was traveling on an international shipping route within Iran's territorial waters. 'It's difficult to know exactly why the Iranians are behaving this way,' Warren said. 'We call on them to respect all of the internationally established rules of freedom of navigation, the law of the sea to which they are a signatory and other established protocols,' he said. The 52,600-ton container ship was built in 2014 and is managed by Singapore-based Rickmers Ship Management . Iranian sources have seized the cargo ship and claim they had a legal order following a dispute . In a statement, the Iranian Port and Maritime Organisation said the Maersk Tigris was intercepted 'upon a legal order' and transferred to Shahid Bahonar port in southern Iran. Officials claimed the order was issued following a 'long running commercial dispute' with Maersk. The ruling was 'based on a lawsuit by a private company called Pars Talayieh Oil Product company (Golden Pars Oil Products) against Maersk ship company,' it said. They said the ship can only be released following a judicial ruling. Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, speaking at New York University, said a lawsuit was filed against the ship's owners between 15 and 16 years ago over an undelivered cargo. 'It has gone through court proceedings in Tehran based on what I hear from the lawyer. The final decision by the court is that the ship's owners are supposed to pay damages,' he said.

For the 'creature' poised to pounce is not a colourful species of lizard but something altogether more human. Featuring two carefully painted female models, it is a clever piece of sculpture designed to create an amazing illusion. It is the work of Italian artist Johannes Stoetter. Scroll down for video . Can you see us? Italian artist Johannes Stoetter has painted two naked women to look like a chameleon . The 37-year-old has previously transformed his models into frogs and parrots but this may be his most intricate and impressive piece to date. Stoetter daubed water-based body paint on the naked models to create the multicoloured effect, then intertwined them to form the shape of a chameleon. To complete the deception, the models rested on a bench painted to match their skin and held the green branch in the air beneath them. Stoetter can take weeks to plan one of his pieces and hours to paint it. Speaking about The Chameleon, he said: 'I worked about four days to design the motif bigger and paint it with colours. 'The body painting took me about six hours with the help of an assistant. 'I covered the hair with natural clay to make the heads look bald. Camouflage job: A few finishing touches are applied to the two naked models to complete the transformation . 'There are different difficulties on different levels as in every work, but I think that my passion and love to my work is so big, that I figure out a way to deal with difficulties. 'My main inspirations are nature, my personal life-philosophy, every-day-life and people themselves. However, the finished result existed only briefly before the models were able to get up and wash the paint off \u2013 with just a video and some photographs to record it. The artist added: 'I think that body painting is a good way to learn to let something go, to separate from something. That happens again and again in life and it is good to be able to handle with it. 'Also the fast end of the artwork makes us perceive it in a much more intensive way.' But there is one way in which the chameleon can still claim to be the unchallenged master of disguise. Unlike the real thing, Stoetter's models can't change their colour \u2013 unless he gets his paintbrush out.", "summary": "Johannes Stoetter's artwork features two carefully painted female models .

A nine-year-old girl was also linked to a case of criminal damage while a five-year-old girl was alleged to have committed sexual activity with a child. The legal age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is ten. But four-year-old children have also been investigated on suspicion of possessing cannabis, criminal damage, assault, theft and sexual activity with a child aged under 13. In both 2013 and 2014 two-year-old boys were believed to be behind assaults and in 2012 a three-year-old girl was suspected of being responsible for a theft.

The hostility between the women \u2013 one a 61-year-old retired GP and the other a 58-year-old radiographer \u2013 meant they would never be able to make rational decisions about how to deal with the 97-year-old widow\u2019s property, a judge said. Senior Judge Denzil Lush said the elder sister could be jailed for attempting to alter a legal document, so she could gain greater control over her mother\u2019s money. The mother, who has dementia, lives in a care home in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire. She owns a \u00a3600,000 house, has savings and shares worth \u00a3100,000, and has an income of \u00a31,200 a month. The Court of Protection case was brought by the Office of the Public Guardian (pictured) - the regulator of agreements for people without capacity . The judge said both sisters were unsuitable to control her affairs \u2018because of the intense acrimony between them\u2019. Instead he appointed a court deputy to carry out this role. The ruling was made in the secretive Court of Protection in which hearings are routinely closed to the public. The judge ordered that none of the family be named. Senior Judge Lush said the \u2018daughters don\u2019t see eye to eye. In fact, they detest each other.\u2019 According to the GP, the judge said, \u2018the two of them have been in the same room together on five occasions during the last five years, and on each occasion her sister has refused point blank either to speak to her or even acknowledge her presence. The only communication between them is by email, and this is usually rancorous in tone.\u2019 The disastrous relationship between the two sisters and their failure to handle their mother\u2019s affairs as she slipped into dementia were revealed in a ruling by the secretive Court of Protection. The sisters agreed with their mother in 2007 that they should draw up an agreement to control her money and property if she became unable to do so herself. The mother, a widow since 1984, owns a house in Marlow worth between \u00a3550,000 and \u00a3600,000, savings and shares worth about \u00a3100,000, and has an income of around \u00a31,200 a month. Since suffering from dementia she has lived in a care home in Stoke Mandeville that costs \u00a3940 a week. However, the sisters have rowed over their mother\u2019s care. The dispute has involved the younger sister, the radiographer, objecting to her elder sibling\u2019s choice of care home - which is a two-hour journey away from her own house. It has also involved an accusation from the GP that her younger sibling only visits their mother once a week or once a fortnight. The document drawn up by the sisters in 2007 to control their mother\u2019s affairs - an Enduring Power of Attorney - was put into effect in 2013.

An army recruitment sergeant got a teenage cadet pregnant after raping her during a campaign of abuse against female recruits, a court heard today. Edwin 'Jock' Mee, 45, allegedly targeted 11 cadets, aged between 15 and 25, on a military base in Croydon, south London, during the army interview and screening process. Southwark Crown Court heard he had a preference for vulnerable black women born overseas, who he isolated and 'kept' to himself so he could sexually abuse them. Many of his vulnerable victims were threatened with deportation if they did not submit to his sexual demands. One of the women, a virgin in her early 20s, fell pregnant when Mee raped her in a locked waiting room, jurors were told. She was in the UK on a student visa and Mee told her she needed to renew her passport and asked if she worked as a prostitute in the UK, jurors heard. He became 'aggressive' and looked down her top and rubbed her thigh while she was taking a test, it was claimed. After raping her, Mee told her she was a 'sweet child', jurors heard. Doctors found that she had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy for which she was operated on after collapsing in hospital. When she called Mee to explain what had happened, he allegedly replied 'I thought you were safe' and never spoke to her again. On another occasion he raped a 19-year-old from Sierra Leone after asking her for sex on the basis that he would get her a passport in return. 'He pressurised her to the extent that she felt she would be compelled to submit to his demands,' Rosina Cottage QC said in opening the case to the jury. 'He told her that she had control over her status in the country.' Mee raped her, before forcing her to perform a sex act on him, it was said. 'He told her that if she said anything, no one would listen to her, she would not have a job, she would have nothing,' Miss Cottage said. The divorced father-of-five denies 17 counts of sexual assault, three counts of rape and one count of assault by penetration, which are said to have happened between October 2010 and September 2011. Mee, formerly of Croydon but who now lives in Glasgow, wore his grey hair in a pony tail and dressed in a smart suit and tie as he listened intently while Miss Cottage opened the case. She said the attacks had been an 'abuse of trust and power by this defendant in order to bully and groom young women'. He would 'gauge their vulnerability' and speak to the women about sex, touch them and in the most serious instances rape those over whom he had established control, Miss Cottage said.

Jockey Aidan Coleman (left) exits the weighing room at Haydock racecourse back in April earlier this year . The Druids Nephew ridden by Barry Geraghty clears the last jump during Day One of Cheltenham 2015 .

It was the only time in three National runs for Mon Mome that Coleman had not ridden the gelding. Coleman's two latest rides in the race have seen him unseated from a hampered The Rainbow Hunter.

Newscorp reported that Prime Minister Tony Abbott will announce the reforms alongside Mr Morrison on Sunday with the changes coming into full effect in January 2016. The controversial change could put millions of dollars back into the federal government's pocket. The way the system works now, children must be immunised to access childcare payments, however, a 'contentious loop hole' means parents can avoid loosing their benefits by simply signing a form that says they object to immunisation based on 'personal, philosophical or religious' reasons. Mr Morrison recently said the rules around welfare payments need to be 'tightened' and that while immunising children against deadly diseases protects the wider society, it should be a prerequisite to receive tax payer money.

We're a free country, and we're for free society, but that doesn't mean you get to take taxpayers' money if you don't want to go along with the rules.' While doctors and pro-vaccination groups are tipped to welcome the reforms as a way to increase the number of children being vaccinated, some immunisation experts are worried the move won't bolster immunisation rates.

The group has put together a team of 'extraterrestrial experts' to see if any of the planets discovered outside our solar system are habitable. And it says that amateur astronomers could help with its 'unprecedented' search for ET by accessing research data online. Scroll down for video . The Nexss team, includes those who study Earth as a life-bearing planet (lower right), those researching the diversity of solar system planets (left), and those on the new frontier, discovering worlds orbiting other stars in the galaxy (upper right) The initiative, dubbed Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (Nexss), will include scientists from 10 universities including Stanford, the University of California and Yale. The study of exoplanets is a relatively new field, and began with the discovery of the first exoplanet around a star like our sun in 1995. Since the launch of the Kepler space telescope six years ago, more than 1,000 exoplanets have been found, with thousands of additional candidates waiting to be confirmed. Nasa has set up a website for the public called Planet Hunters which allows anyone to search the data gathered by Kepler, which launched six years ago. Scientists are also developing new ways to confirm the habitability of these worlds and search for biosignatures, or signs of life. During a talk last month, Nasa said humanity will encounter extra-terrestrials within a decade. 'I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years,' said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for Nasa, (pictured) at a Washington panel discussion . By applying a 'system science' approach, the team hopes to understand an alien planet's biology interacts with the atmosphere, geology, oceans, and interior of a planet. The announcement comes just weeks after Nasa's top scientist predicted we could be on the verge of finding life on one of them. During a talk in Washington last month, the space agency announced that humanity is likely to encounter extra-terrestrials within a decade. Alien hunters from the University of Berkeley, California and Stanford are tasked with answering the question: 'What are the properties of exoplanetary systems, as they relate to their formation, evolution, and potential to harbour life?' They will combine astronomical observations of exoplanets and forming planetary systems with powerful computer simulations and cutting-edge microscopic studies of meteorites. The team from Arizona State University in Phoenix will take a similar approach. This research group will place planetary habitability in a chemical context, with the goal of producing a 'periodic table of planets.' Researchers from Hampton University, Virginia, will be exploring the sources and sinks for volatiles on habitable worlds. This research will help determine the past and present habitability of Mars and even Venus. The team centered at Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies will investigate habitability on a more local scale. It will examine the habitability of solar system rocky planets", "summary": "Alien search team, dubbed Nexss, includes scientists from 10 universities .

The England Cricket Board gave Flower the confusing title of technical director of elite coaching after he renegotiated a new role at significantly lower pay after resigning as team boss following the last Ashes whitewash. This has led to speculation that Flower\u2019s continuing role on the ECB staff would conflict with the job description of the new appointment.

But effectively Flower is now running the England cricket academy at Loughborough and working with young players in a coaching role, and liaising with counties.

Meanwhile, Pietersen, who is using social media app Periscope to film himself getting a sun tan or whistling, continues to dominate the PR battle against the ECB, who botched his axing and have totally mismanaged the fall-out since. Kevin Pietersen is back playing cricket for Surrey in the hope of winning back a Test spot in the England side . It looks only a matter of time before Manuel Pellegrini is sacked as Manchester City manager. And his son Juan, who is living in England, isn\u2019t waiting for the axe to fall on his father, having already made plans to take his wife and four children back to Chile. However, Juan\u2019s return is purely for family reasons with his wife, who has just had twins, wanting family support to look after four kids who are under the age of five. Only the ECB\u2019s hopeless media team could launch the domestic NatWest T20 Blast, which needs all the promotional hype it can muster to compete with the IPL and Big Bash, on the same day as an England Test match. And only the ECB, having brought in former Ashes hero Freddie Flintoff to drum up publicity for the launch, could then decide he shouldn\u2019t speak to national newspapers. An ECB spokesman said the date wasn\u2019t ideal but they were constrained by the domestic and international schedule. And the print media snub was due to the ECB having limited time with Flintoff.

The Conservatives will not win this year's General Election because they have become 'too right-wing', former Chancellor Ken Clarke has said.

In a wide-ranging interview with the New Statesman magazine, Mr Clarke also warned against offering 'blank cheques' to the NHS and foreign aid budgets, and criticised the Tory leadership for making personal attacks on Ed Miliband. Mr Clarke, who has served under Margaret Thatcher, John Major and David Cameron, said: 'Most elections I fought the Conservative party had won. And now we haven't been able to win an election for 23 years. 'It's become much too right-wing. Which I hope David will continue to seek to redress in coming times.' Mr Clarke cautioned against signing up to 'blank cheques' to the NHS and foreign aid budgets. David Cameron has promised to protect the health, schools and foreign aid budgets again if he wins next month's election.

A conman has been jailed for fleecing a dying architect out of his life savings and using the money to fund his lavish lifestyle. Keith Cameron splashed out on a New York flat for his daughter and enjoyed a string of extravagant holidays while his victim's family have been left facing the prospect of selling their home. The 54-year-old scammed his trusting friend and terminally ill neighbour, Jonathan Speirs, out of \u00a3476,864 in a complicated ruse. He promised the world-famous lighting architect a \u00a32million return on his investment in just two years, but it was all an elaborate lie. Cameron was today jailed for five years at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. But Jonathan's wife, Elizabeth, 58, said: 'My daughters and I will be dealing with the consequences of his crime both emotionally and financially for the rest of our lives.' Cameron stole the family's money and spent it on his extravagant lifestyle and a New York flat for his own daughter, who attended the American Academy of Drama and the Arts. Meanwhile, Jonathan's youngest daughter faces missing out on a place at her dream university in New York. Cameron persuaded terminally ill Jonathan - his close friend and neighbour for 13 years - to part with thousands of pounds by claiming his telecoms start-up required money to win a valuable contract. He repeatedly claimed the company was trading well and that Jonathan could expect a return on his investment of around \u00a32 million within two years. Cameron, from Edinburgh, instead used his friend's cash to maintain a excessive lifestyle of posh restaurants and fancy holidays. Jonathan died of stomach cancer in 2012. His widow, Elizabeth, from Edinburgh, said Cameron's heartless scheme had stopped her daughter, Erin, 17, from following her dreams. She said: 'Keith Cameron deserved a lengthy prison sentence. I am glad the Sheriff chose to impose the maximum sentence on the fraud charge. 'However, no length of prison term will ever compensate for the dreadful crime he committed. 'My daughters and I will be dealing with the consequences of his crime both emotionally and financially for the rest of our lives.

The founder of rock band Portishead has waded into the debate over music streaming, saying that he received just \u00a31,700 in royalties despite his songs being played 34million times. In a series of tweets Geoff Barrow, Portishead's founder and instrumentalist, attacked Spotify, YouTube, Apple and 'especially' Universal Music for selling his music cheaply. He added that he has nothing against streaming, but wants musicians to be paid more, and says it is hurting young talent, stopping people from establishing themselves on the scene. Barrow, who also runs the Invada record label, told The Times: 'You used to write a piece of music and people paid you to listen to it. 'Yet for younger artists who just want to play rock and roll, by the time they get to a major label, all their rights will have been sold away. 'There will be not much meat left on the bone. You see these huge deals but will smaller bands be able to buy a Ford Galaxy to go on tour in if this isn't sorted out?' Artists have long railed against the low royalties paid from streaming companies, leading to Jay-Z launching his own Tidal service this month, promising bigger returns for musicians. Pop megastar Taylor Swift and Thom York, frontman of indie rockers Radiohead, have also pulled their music from services such as Spotify in protest. However, record companies have been quick to upload their music on to these platforms to prop up the collapse in CD sales after music moved online.

And the top four tiers of the game will mark their passing this weekend. The Football League will be supporting efforts to raise \u00a3300,000 for the Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit at the University of Bradford. Mark Lawn, the co-chairman of Bradford City, said: \u2018I am personally delighted that the FA, the Football League and Premier League have got involved. I would like to remind people that the PSBRU is solely reliant on charitable donations by the public, charitable organisations and businesses, and has no funding from the Government. \u2018I am extremely pleased that Bradford City has helped to fund the PSBRU through the supporters raising money. This has been enough over the years to help maintain and exceed the standards coming from the unit.\u2019 There are harrowing stories of almost entire families passing away that day in Yorkshire and serious questions still remain as we head into a fourth decade since the tragedy. They are laid bare in Martin Fletcher\u2019s new book, Fifty-Six \u2013 The Story of the Bradford Fire, in which the author challenges accepted theories as to the cause. Nobody has been made accountable for events which saw Fletcher lose his brother Andrew, 11, his father John, 34, his uncle Peter, 32, and his grandfather Eddie, 63. Fletcher has been researching the fire for 15 years and believes the investigation\u2019s findings are flawed. The inquiry asserted that the cause was, in all likelihood, down to a cigarette or a match dropped on to a pile of rubbish. He found that former chairman Stafford Heginbotham, who died in 1995 aged 61, had been connected with at least eight other business fires and insurance claims.

Norwich were inferior for pretty much the rest of the contest but needed only this flash of inspiration to keep their Barclays Premier League promotion hopes on course. It just takes a moment. It took Alex Neil\u2019s record as manager to 11 wins from 16 - a magnificent return - and has them breathing down the necks of Middlesbrough and Bournemouth, who occupy those coveted automatic spots. Down and out of the race at the New Year, they are now fancied by many. The manner of the defeat would have frustrated Chris Hughton, desperate to get one over on his former employers. But in the end, even he would appreciate the ruthless smash and grab nature of Norwich\u2019s win here. Hughton insisted in advance of the game that he bore no animosity to his former employers, who dumped him in April 2014 as the club sat 17th and safe in the Premier League. They weren\u2019t able to maintain that position and were relegated but under the masterful guidance of Neil have mounted an impressive late charge for an immediate return to the big time. The Canaries travelled down to the south coast having lost just once in their last dozen games and eight wins within that sequence had them anchored in the play-offs, with reasonable hope of more. And in persistent drizzle at The Amex, they made the brighter opening. Jonny Howson touched a free-kick short to Johnson who, off a fast bowler\u2019s run-up, leathered a rocket shot that David Stockdale had to turn around the post.

Leza Davies, 33, says her boob job saved her life, after she discovered a cancerous lump when she knocked her breast implant on a door frame . Mrs Davies was told her cancer treatment would leave her infertile. But remarkably, she soon found out she was pregnant after finishing treatment. She is pictured with daughter Araya, now nine months . She found a pea-sized lump, which hospital tests revealed was cancerous. She began six months of chemotherapy, followed by radiotherapy and surgery and is now in remission.

It was after breastfeeding her first baby Brayden, who is now 12, that Mrs Davies first decided she wanted a boob job. 'I was left with saggy breasts after feeding,' she said. 'There was just no tissue left, so I decided to get implants to restore my confidence. 'I thought they would improve how I felt about myself. I didn't know they would save my life too.' Mrs Davies, a semi-permanent makeup technician, said she was happy with her new breasts after having the procedure, and settled down to life as a new mother.

The panel, convened by the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), the \u2018climate sceptic\u2019 think-tank led by the former Tory Chancellor Lord Lawson, will focus on thousands of \u2018adjustments\u2019 that have been made to temperature records kept at individual weather stations around the world. Sceptics have argued that the effect of such adjustments \u2013 made when instruments are replaced or recalibrated, or heat-producing buildings are erected close to weather station sites \u2013 has skewed the records. Sceptics: The panel will look at whether 'adjustments' made to temperature records around the world have made climate change appear worse - or whether they actually manage to cancel each other out . The panel will also examine \u2018extrapolations\u2019 \u2013 when the records include virtual figures from places where there is no actual measuring station, instead basing them on the figures of other stations in the same region. In some areas, such as the Arctic, these may be hundreds of miles away. Sceptics claim that the effect of the adjustments is usually to revise temperatures from decades ago downwards, and to increase recent readings, so that the warming trend of the past 150 years looks larger than it really is. The panel has been drawn from leading universities around the world, and includes scientists with widely differing views on climate change. Panel member Professor William van Wijngaarden, a physicist and climate expert from York University in Toronto, said he had been concerned about the records\u2019 quality for many years, after noticing that when you examined an individual station \u2018you\u2019ll see a sudden jump\u2019.

The orchid (an example of which is pictured) has evolved a so-called lip - a large and irregular modified petal, to attract insects - but the driving force behind this unusual shape was not known, until now . The study, published in the journal Nature Plants, extends scientists' understanding of the mechanisms leading to the diverse beauty of orchid flowers. There are between 21,950 and 26,049 accepted species of Orchid, most of which have a large and irregular modified petal, called the lip, in addition to three 'normal' petals. The structure of orchids is unique among floral plants. They also have three sepals, which sometimes look like other petals, and a single column at the centre which is used during reproduction.

Lips attract insect pollinators and serve as a landing platform for them, which is thought to have given orchids an evolutionary advantage over other flowers, by promoting reproduction. To discover why the flowers developed their distinctive lips, researchers from National Chung Hsing University in Taiwan studied the expression of a class of genes known to be associated with petal development. They found that in mature orchid flowers, the expression pattern suggests two protein complexes, called the 'L' complex and the 'SP' complex, compete to promote the formation of the lip and standard petals. The have called this mechanism the Perianth code and discovered that orchid species from many subfamilies with different types of lips and petals all obey it. The experts were also able to convert lips into petals in two orchid species by reducing the activity of the L complex using gene silencing. Lips attract insect pollinators and serve as a landing platform for them, which is thought to have given orchids an evolutionary advantage over other flowers, by promoting reproduction. Lips are differently coloured, ruffled or pouch-shaped, depending on the species, and can be decorated with horns, hairs, warts, teeth and tails to attract specific pollinators. These range from bees to flies, gnats, moths, butterflies, hummingbirds and even bats in some tropical climates.

Former Scotland captain Colin Hendry has been banned from driving after he was caught drunk at the wheel of his Ford Focus.

A University of Cambridge scientist has revealed his green source of energy. By using just moss he is able to generate enough power to run a clock (shown). He said panels of plant material could power appliances in our homes. And the technology could help farmers grow crops where electricity is scarce . Dr Paolo Bombelli will present his research as part of the Pint of Science festival, which is running from 18 to 20 May in 50 cities across nine countries. His idea is relatively simple - by wiring up plants to an electro-chemical system, he is able to harness the waste electrons and energy produced during the photosynthesis process. And the results are surprisingly efficient. He demonstrated how a smartphone-sized block of moss could be used to power a digital clock.

The Magpies have lost their last six Barclays Premier League games under caretaker manager John Carver and more demonstrations are planned for the visit of Swansea after a significantly smaller crowd than usual saw last weekend's 3-1 home defeat to Tottenham. Campaign organisers protesting over Mike Ashley's ownership have said they will support anyone who wishes to boycott once again and have asked fans to stand up on 34 minutes inside St James' Park on Saturday - to reflect the \u00a334million the club left in the bank during the last financial year rather than investing in the squad.

'No player goes out on the pitch without the intention of giving his best and I'm sure all the Newcastle fans will be thinking that. 'They'll want to put on a display and do well in front of their crowd and bounce back from recent results, and as a player you are there to perform.' The supporters' group have asked fans to stand in the 34th minute of Saturday's match against Swansea . Carver was handed the Newcastle reins until the end of the season after Alan Pardew quit the club in late December to become Crystal Palace boss.

Housing association tenants paying cheap rent to live in homes worth millions could get the chance to buy them at discounted prices under new right-to-buy plans. A number of people are currently paying around \u00a3150 a week to live in flats in exclusive parts of Mayfair and Covent Garden in London which are owned by housing associations and are now worth several million. Under Conservative plans to give tenants the chance to own their own homes, people living in these plush properties could now get the chance to buy them with discounts of up to \u00a3102,000 in London, after living in them for cheaper rents. The properties form part of affordable housing because of agreements with developers to provide low-cost provisions when new developments are built over a certain size. Many of them were built years ago in areas which have now become expensive and are worth millions of pounds. This enables tenants to occupy properties worth at least \u00a31million for cheap rents, and many tenancies go unreviewed if circumstances change. However the value of the housing stock has raised questions over whether they should be sold to fund more housing. An investigation by the Sunday Times found that 10 properties owned by the Peabody housing association in London are located in the expensive areas of Mayfair and Covent Garden - and are worth between \u00a31million and \u00a32.2million. The house used in the recent Paddington Bear film, in Primrose Hill, is also owned as affordable housing.

Scroll down for video . One Housing, which owns 15,000 properties in London, said around 750 of these were worth more than \u00a31million. Under plans proposed by the Conservatives the right to buy will be extended to 1.3million homes, occupied by 2.75million people. It is aimed at giving more people the opportunity to own their own homes and every house sold will be replaced on a one-for-one basis. But Housing Associations have opposed the proposals to sell their costly buildings at discounted prices, saying it will mean while individual tenants may benefit there will be no affordable housing left for people who need it most.

David Marshall must serve a minimum of 20 years behind bars for the murder of Eni Mevish, a 20-year-old student at Staffordshire University. The 68-year-old stabbed her in the heart, lungs and liver six months after they met because he was 'jealous' of her other friendships, Stafford Crown Court heard. The pensioner had already served a jail sentence for assaulting a 14-year-old girl when he stormed her house Stoke-on-Trent in November last year to butcher her with a kitchen knife. Eni Mevish was killed by a sex offender who stabbed her in the lungs, liver and heart six months after she befriended him while out jogging . The pair are thought to have met around six months earlier when Miss Mevish, originally from Manchester, was out jogging. Prosecutors told the court Miss Mevish had received financial support from the pensioner, though the nature of their friendship is not clear. On November 9 the 20-year-old received a number of text messages thought to have been from Marshall. While she was watching a film with fellow student Rizwan Bukhari, Marshall is understood to have arrived at her house drunk. He asked Mr Bukhari to leave them alone before being heard 'swearing, shouting' and asking 'why didn't you text me?' The 22-year-old student then heard a 'slow scream' and tried to intervene but was struck by the sex offender's knife. David Marshall was on licence for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl when he killed Eni, a 20-year-old student . After Marshall had fled the scene he discovered Miss Mevish's body in a pool of blood and phoned an ambulance. She had been stabbed in her heart, liver and lungs and died in hospital. Appearing via video link in Stafford Crown Court Marshall was told he must serve a minimum term of 20 years and six months for her killing. Sentencing, Judge John Wait said it was clear the sex offender had intended to hurt her. 'You came to be jealous of her friendships with fellow students and sought to distance her from them. 'It is clear you had in mind violence when you went to her home.' The court heard how at the time of the attack Marshall was on licence for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. 'At the time of this terrible offence you were on licence following a sentence for an offence of indecent assault,' added Judge Wait. 'It was a condition of your licence that you notify your supervising (probation) officer of any developing friendship with a woman. 'It is noteworthy that you failed to tell your supervising officer of the relationship (with Eni) though you were asked on many occasions.' In a statement released by police Miss Mevish was described as 'beautiful, clever and with her whole life ahead of her.'

The Cup game attracted a peak audience of 6.9 million, over treble the 2m rating for the PL game on Sky. But both viewing figures would have been higher had they not coincided. Arsenal's FA Cup semi-final victory over Reading on Saturday clashed with a top Premier League fixture . With star quality including Wayne Rooney and Eden Hazard on show, Manchester United's visit to Chelsea took viewers away from the game at Wembley, bringing the Premier League and FA into another dispute .

The league found itself at the centre of a furious row on Wednesday after announcing it had moved Gers' Tynecastle fixture with the Jambos to May 3 - 24 hours after their rivals for second place in the Scottish Championship, Hibernian, completed their campaign at Falkirk. The decision was made after TV broadcaster Sky decided to screen the match live but Hibs hit out at the change, claiming it would place the league's sporting integrity at risk as they jostled with Rangers for the play-off slots.

All other Championship fixtures will now be moved to 12.15pm to match the kick-off in Gorgie. Confirming the move, a league spokesperson said: 'Following consultation between the SPFL, member clubs and broadcast partners regarding the final round of Championship fixtures over the weekend of May 2 and 3, Sky Sports has now suggested an alternative schedule for its televised Championship match that weekend. 'As a result, we are pleased to confirm all five Championship matches that weekend will now kick-off simultaneously at 12.15pm on Saturday, May 2. The Hearts v Rangers match will be televised live on Sky Sports. 'The SPFL would like to thank Sky Sports for its flexibility and understanding and we're sure all football fans will look forward to an exciting climax to the Championship season.' Speaking before the switch, Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan admitted if he had been in charge, Rangers and Hibernian would have always kicked off at the same time. Easter Road chief executive Leeann Dempster feared the rescheduling would give the Ibrox side an advantage as they would know exactly what kind of result would be required to clinch the runners-up slot - saving them the bother of two extra games in the play-offs.

As a result, medics at Botosani County Hospital prepared to operate to deliver the child. But after carrying out tests, they were shocked to discover she wasn't pregnant at all.

Hollywood glamour: Angelina Jolie, 39, has become increasingly known for her humanitarian work . Miss Bekele was abducted so she could be pushed into a forced marriage. She escaped but was put on trial for killing one of her abductors. While she was released by the courts, local elders forced her into exile away from her home and family. Miss Jolie, who helped produce the film, spoke about how it will 'make a change' in the world and it was screened last year at her Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, hosted in London, co-chaired by then Foreign Secretary William Hague. But Miss Bekele believes the film, which has won awards around the world, could put her and her family in danger of reprisals. She was never consulted by the film-makers and did not give them permission to lay her traumas bare on screen. With the character based on Miss Bekele renamed Hirut and with the film focusing on her lawyer, the Ethiopian directors originally refused to acknowledge it was about her. Miss Bekele, now a mother of one, was the focus of a 1999 BBC documentary Schoolgirl Killer, made by journalist Charlotte Metcalf. Miss Metcalf, who saw Miss Bekele earlier this year, said: 'Aberash feels doubly abducted not to have had the story acknowledged as hers. It's an absolute outrage that they should pretend it could have been anyone's story and she's still fighting that. 'Today, she could be bathing in the glow of international admiration for her extraordinary courage and resilience. Instead she is invisible, her story taken.'

+{"article": "Eye of the Beholder . by Laura J Snyder . (Head of Zeus, \u00a325) The behaviour of Dutch natural scientist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was nothing if not eccentric. In 1677, at the age of 41, he embarked on an extraordinarily gruesome experiment, using his body as a guinea pig. Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (pictured in a portrait ) used his body as a guinea pig in an experiment . He took three lice, nestled them among the hairs of his calf, rolled up a tight stocking so that the insects were bound to his leg and then left the stocking on and did not bathe for six days. On the seventh day, he removed the stocking and counted more than 80 eggs but no young lice. In the interests of empiricism, the stocking went back on for another three days. Finally, the stocking came off to reveal at least 25 lice running up and down his leg. \u2018This spectacle of all the young lice filled me with such aversion to the stocking,\u2019 he wrote, \u2018that I threw it, along with all the lice in it, out the window.\u2019 He rubbed down his legs with ice, then took up his pen to calculate the louse\u2019s reproduction rate. He estimated that two pairs of lice could generate 10,000 young in only eight weeks. While Leeuwenhoeck was thus engaged, another great Dutchman, Johannes Vermeer, was intent on his own more genteel studies in his house on the opposite side of Delft\u2019s market square. Draped in a black cloth, Vermeer spent hours peering into the box-like interior of a camera obscura, an ancestor of the photographic camera. This was a light-tight wooden chamber with a hole or lens on one side, which could be used to project an image of a scene on to a glass plate or wall. They had been used for party tricks and for viewing solar eclipses but were increasingly being employed by artists to render paintings more lifelike than ever. The experiments of these two men are the subject of Laura J. Snyder\u2019s new biography. She asks an intriguing question: could Vermeer and Leeuwenhoek, who were born in the same week, lived and worked their entire lives in an area not much larger than a football pitch, and who had friends in common, have exchanged ideas and inspired each other\u2019s work? This is much more than a joint biography. It is a portrait of an age of insatiable intellectual curiosity. The 17th century gave us an inventory of instruments which far extended man\u2019s understanding of the world: accurate thermometers and barometers, the air pump, the pendulum clock, improvements to the telescope, the refinement of the microscope. Leeuwenhoek\u2019s mastery of lens-grinding saw him build a microscope capable of magnification up to 480 times. Scientists and dilettanti assembled cabinets of curiosity filled with rare animal and shell specimens. Leeuwenhoek\u2019s collection included the eye of a whale, pickled in brandy.

The Celtic boss admitted the 2-1 Premiership victory at Dundee had helped him bounce back from what he described as the toughest day of his career at Hampden on Sunday. But although his club\u2019s Treble ambitions were shattered as a result of the Meekings\u2019 incident in the semi-final defeat to Inverness, the Norwegian said it would serve no purpose for the defender to be given a retrospective suspension by the SFA. Inverness defender Josh Meekings' arm blocks the ball and prevents a goal to Celtic on Sunday . Meekings has been retrospectively suspended for one match, the punishment he would have got if sent off . The fall-out from the Hampden showdown has been dominated by the failure of the match officials to award a penalty after Meekings blocked a goal-bound effort from Leigh Griffiths with his hand. Caley Thistle will learn today whether they have succeeded in overturning the suspension that compliance officer Tony McGlennan offered earlier this week. And while Celtic have written to the SFA seeking clarity over the pivotal incident, Deila insisted that he hopes Meekings is cleared to line up against Falkirk in the final on May 30. \u2018It does not help our situation at all and I do not think that he did it on purpose,\u2019 said the Parkhead manager. \u2018It all happened so quickly and it is a clear handball and a red card and a penalty. \u2018I don\u2019t think that is right for him to miss that match as you want all the best players to play in the final.

Wilcox, himself let go by his current employers as a teenager, could field a starting XI of players all born in Greater Manchester for the clash against the favoured opponents from west London. And, while it may be unlikely anyone will emulate a golden generation across town that yielded the likes of the Neville brothers, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, the ex-Blackburn winger believes that is the target. Manchester City Under 18s manager Jason Wilcox wants to deliver local players to the first team . Wilcox talks with Manchester City elite development squad coach Patrick Vieira . 'It could happen again but they were freak years,' Wilcox said. 'You look at United as a one-off, Barcelona the same. 'Our job is to recruit local lads. If we can get a group of Manchester-born lads into the first team then that's the ideal scenario. To do that is going to be really difficult but that's the challenge.' The first leg will take place under lights at the impressive, newly-opened 7,200-capacity stadium within the grounds of the \u00a3200m Etihad Campus, a sprawling complex aimed at kickstarting a conveyor belt of homegrown talent and defying those who claim the club have no interest nurturing growth from within. Wilcox believes those facilities, coupled with elite coaching, stand City in good stead when it comes to recruiting talent. Wilcox hopes to emulate Manchester United's 'Class of 92' but says it will be very difficult . 'We don't want local lads playing for Tottenham, Arsenal or Chelsea,' he said. 'It's up to us to make sure that, via the scouting, we have at least the opportunity of showing them our programme. I'm convinced once they see us it's very difficult to walk away from.' Will the final, between two clubs often criticised for spending millions of foreign players, be a chance to stick two fingers up to Football Association chairman Greg Dyke, who a year ago described the lack of English talent at Manchester City as 'pretty depressing'? Wilcox does not want to get into that. 'There\u2019s a lot of media attention from Greg Dyke with regards to increasing the home-grown quota,' he said.

+{"article": "Dashcam footage has revealed the startling moment a Texas trooper ran toward a motorcyclist following a high-speed chase, leaped into the air and karate kicked him to the ground. The unconventional maneuver led to a three-day, unpaid suspension for Trooper Abraham Martinez last year but the footage only emerged this week as the Austin American Statesman investigated outdated tactics used in Department of Public Safety pursuits. The incident unfolded in December 2012 after Martinez, a 10-year veteran trooper, took chase when 25-year-old Steven Gaydos ran a stop sign near Houston. Gaydos knew he was being pursued but drove off because he was driving on a suspended license. Jump: Trooper Abraham Martinez is seen leaping into the air to kick Steven Gaydos after he fled from authorities in Houston in 2012 as he drove in a suspended license . Contact: Martinez was ultimately suspended for three days without pay for the unconventional tactic . 'I took off, thinking I could easily lose him,' he said in a later interview. But troopers followed Gaydos for nearly 40 miles at speeds of 130 mph before Martinez pulled alongside him and fired four times through the window of his moving car, striking the man once in the thigh. The motorcyclist then raised his hand and pulled over and, as he tried to put down his kickstand, Martinez suddenly leaped out at him, kicked him and knocked him to the ground. Gaydos was arrested for evading law enforcement, driving with an invalid license and possessing a prescription painkiller after he was found to be carrying two Percocet pills. The Statesman reported that the kick and shooting from a moving vehicle don't specifically violate the Texas Department of Public Safety rules for high-speed chases, but experts said that shooting at fleeing suspects was an area of the policy that needed updating. Knocked down: After the kick, Gaydos fell to the ground. Martinez had also shot him once in the leg . Surrender: Ahead of the kick, Gaydos could be seen raising a hand to troopers and pulling over . After the incident, Martinez said he pulled out his weapon to avoid harm coming to anyone else on the road and only intended to shoot Gaydos' tires. He did not strike the bike with any of the bullets. 'I knew that it was necessary to terminate the pursuit in order to avoid any more injuries or serious bodily injuries, possibly even deaths from happening,' he said in an interview with a supervisor. As for the kick, 'obviously we don't teach that,' he said. 'I think it's something that just comes natural to some of us.' He said he opted for the unusual move because experience taught him to act decisively in case the suspect was armed. In February 2013, a grand jury declined to indict Martinez for the shooting but he was eventually ordered to take three days off last summer for violating DPS policy by using force inconsistent with his training, the Statesman reported.

+{"article": "Carriers of the BRCA1 gene, like Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, can reduce their risk of death once they have been diagnosed with breast cancer by having their ovaries removed . Women diagnosed with breast cancer caused by the gene carried by Angelina Jolie could be helped to beat the disease if they have their ovaries removed as she did. A study indicates that following the example of the Hollywood star cuts their risk of dying from breast cancer by more than 60 per cent. Miss Jolie, 39, had the procedure, known as an oophorectomy, in March. Two years before, she had a double mastectomy as she carries the BRCA1 gene variant which dramatically raises the risk of developing both breast and ovarian cancer. Women who carry a mutated version of BRCA1 or another gene known as BRCA2 face a life-time risk of breast cancer of up to 70 per cent. If diagnosed, they face a severe threat of ovarian tumours. The researchers in Canada analysed 676 breast cancer patients who had one of the mutated genes, Nearly half (345) underwent oophorectomy after their diagnosis. The study found the 20-year survival rate for the entire group was 77.4 per cent. Having an oophorectomy was associated with a significant drop of 62 per cent in breast cancer death in women with a BRCA1 mutation, But this did not occur in those with a BRCA2 mutation. There were nine deaths from ovarian cancer in the women who did not have oophorectomies. The scientists found a 65 per cent reduction in death from all causes associated with oophorectomy. According to the study, oophorectomies were performed an average of six years after breast cancer diagnosis. For the 70 BRCA1 carriers who had their ovaries removed within two years, there was a 73 per cent reduction in death compared with women with the mutation who never underwent the procedure. The authors, writing in the journal JAMA Oncology, said that the protective effect of oophorectomy against breast cancer was apparent immediately after diagnosis and lasted for 15 years. Dr Steven Narod, of the Women\u2019s College Research Institute, Toronto, called for follow-up studies on women who undergo oophorectomy as part of their initial treatment, in particular, those who had the surgery within a year of finding out they have breast cancer. He added that more research was needed, especially on carriers of the BRCA2 variant. Journal editor Dr Mary Disis said the results were \u2018compelling and suggest the potential of oophorectomy should become part of the treatment discussion at the time of diagnosis for BRCA mutation carriers with early stage breast cancers\u2019. She added: \u2018The results provide a validation of oophorectomy in coveying both a disease-free and overall survival benefit for BRCA1 carriers. \u2018In the entire group, oophorectomy was particularly effective for survival benefit in women with oestrogen-receptor negative breast cancer.\u2019 Those women diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene mutation have a 50 to 80 per cent risk of developing breast cancer, pictured, in their lifetime . Women with a significant family history of breast cancer may have an increased risk", "summary": "Carriers of BRCA1 gene mutation who are diagnosed with breast cancer are less likely to die if they have their ovaries removed, study found .

John George Agar told an agent in 1969 to think twice because Temple would 'overreact if she didn't get her way'.

His efforts were unsuccessful as dozens of other people including Ronald Reagan came to Temple's defense and called her a 'very courageous woman of the highest morals'. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Child star: Shirley Temple made her name as the child actor who cheered America through the Depression but in later years she was a committed Republican who wanted to serve her country .

Bitter ex: John Agar, who was Shirley Temple's first husband, was determined to bad mouth her as the FBI launched a detailed background check when she was nominated for office by Richard Nixon. The couple married when she was 17 and were photographed (above) two years later . The claims were revealed in FBI files obtained by Daily Mail Online through Freedom of Information requests. Temple was a child star whose career began at three; she became the biggest actress in America in the 1930s and raked in an unheard of $50,000 a film after the success of movies like Bright Eyes and Curly Top. Her career ran until she was 22 at which point she began doing charity work and became well known for her Republican views, running unsuccessfully for a House seat in California in 1967. In 1969 President Nixon wanted to appoint her to the post of US representative to the UN so the FBI carried out a full background check, which included everything from her credit history to interviews with former teachers. Among those the agents spoke to was Agar, Temple's first husband who she married at 17 and divorced in 1950 at the age of 22 after they had a daughter together. Her divorce petition said that Temple had endured 'grievous mental suffering' and that Agar had subjected her to 'extreme cruelty'. When the FBI agent came to speak with Agar, the file states he told them that he had not been in contact with his ex-wife at all since they split up two decades before.

A new study shows the condition suffered by the Duchess of Cambridge during both her pregnancies triples the risk of developmental problems compared with women who have normal nausea and vomiting. About 10,000 women a year in the UK are affected by the debilitating hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) - a severe form of morning sickness which causes constant vomiting, crippling weakness and dehydration. Pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum - the severe morning sickness suffered by Kate Middleton - are more likely to have children with language and speech delays, and attention disorders, a study claims . A new study from the University of California, Los Angeles, (UCLA) looks specifically at whether the condition affects brain development in childhood. Marlena Fejzo, an associate researcher in the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, said the link appeared to be due to lack of nutrition in early pregnancy \u2013 especially in the first five weeks \u2013 rather than medication. She said: \u2018These findings show that it is vital to take HG seriously so these pregnant women can get nutritional support right away. \u2018An encouraging finding is that we did not find any association with medications to treat this disorder and neurodevelopmental delays, so I speculate that the neurodevelopmental outcomes are more likely caused by nutrient deficiency early in pregnancy rather than medication.\u2019 The research appears in the online edition of the European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Reproductive Biology. The study looked at 312 children born to 203 mothers with HG between 2007 and 2011 and compared those to 169 children born to 89 mothers who did not have HG. More than 1,000 women with severe morning sickness have an abortion each year because their symptoms are so unbearable, research shows. Many are denied vital yet relatively cheap treatment by GPs who expect them to simply \u2018get on with it\u2019 or end their pregnancy. The condition Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) \u2013 which the Duchess of Cambridge has suffered during both her pregnancies \u2013 affects about one in 100 expectant mothers a year. It is far more severe than ordinary morning sickness and some women are left bedbound or need to be admitted to hospital due to extreme dehydration. Research by abortion provider BPAS and Pregnancy Sickness Support found many women were refused treatment because doctors deemed it too costly, unnecessary or potentially harmful. The disorders found included attention and sensory disorders and learning, speech and language delays. Dr Fejzo said the mechanism for exposure to HG and the resulting abnormal neurologic development is not clear. The women in the study experienced nausea and vomiting so severe that they lost at least five pounds and became so dehydrated they needed intravenous fluids. Children exposed in the womb to HG had a 3.28-fold increased risk of neurodevelopmental delays.

Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi was allowed to leave Adiala Prison in Rawalpindi late on Thursday. His release was slammed with Indians calling it an 'insult' to the victims of the three-day onslaught, which was blamed on the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Pakistani security personnel escort Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, as he leaves court after a hearing in Islamabad on January 1 . LeT's charitable wing, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), confirmed Lakhvi's release. A senior JuD official said: 'Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi has been released from jail. He is free now and in a secure place. We can't say exactly where he is at the moment for security reasons.' Another official said Lakhvi would receive a hero's welcome when he arrived at JuD headquarters. It comes after nearly four months of wrangling over Lakhvi's detention after a judge granted him bail in December, sparking an angry response from New Delhi. Pakistan's government slapped Lakhvi with a series of detention orders but judges repeatedly cancelled them. On Thursday the Lahore High Court ordered his release, conditional on a two million rupee (32,000 U.S. dollars or \u00a322,000) bond. India has long seethed at Pakistan's failure either to hand over or prosecute those accused of planning and organising the Mumbai attacks.

A psychology expert has confirmed that shopping at or assembling furniture from the Scandinavian store chain can be a serious source of friction between a couple, thanks to the high levels of stress caused by both activities. 'The store literally becomes a map of a relationship nightmare,' Ramani Durvasula, a clinical psychologist in Santa Monica, California, told The Wall Street Journal. Scroll down for video . Can your relationship handle it? Experts say that shopping at IKEA can cause serious friction between couples - and assembling the store's wares makes it even worse . 'Walking through the kitchens brings up touchy subjects, like who does most of the cooking. Then you get to the children\u2019s section, which opens up another set of issues. And that\u2019s before you've even tried assembling anything,' she said. Ramani revealed that so many couples admitted to her that they were prone to fighting while assembling furniture, that she decided to include furniture assembly in her therapy sessions. And her couples are not alone; a report by CivicScience states that 17 per cent of couples confessed that they would argue every time they assembled furniture together, and therapists reported to WSJ that couples who are able to successfully assemble furniture together as a team actually have a healthier relationship. 'The Divorcemaker': This Liatorp home entertainment unit requires two people for assembly and involves putting together a large amount of shelving . Shopping for trouble: Clinical psychologist Ramani Durvasula brings furniture assembly into therapy sessions after so many couples described fighting while putting together IKEA items . Getting into particulars, Ramani explained that the more complicated the assembly, the more likely your new IKEA buy will leave you and your partner at odds. She revealed that a smaller unit like a Norn\u00e4s coffee table won't put too many demands on your relationship, but it's a different story for a large wall unit like the $1,199 Liatorp unit, which Ramani has dubbed 'The Divorcemaker'. The description of the item on IKEA's website includes a lengthy 'Good To Know' section outlining the different ways you can mess up the unit's assembly, saying that you need two people to put it together. 'Handle with care!' it reads. 'A damaged edge or scratched surface can in exceptional cases cause the glass to crack suddenly. However, never into sharp fragments, only into small pieces.

+{"article": "About 4.45 billion years ago, 150 million years after the solar system formed, Earth was hit by a Mars-size object called Theia. The collision created the moon, but debate has raged exactly what happened during this event - and a mystery has persisted on why the moon and Earth are so similar in their composition. Now, conflicting studies have provided two different theories - one that Theia was similar to Earth, and another that Earth and the moon were showered by debris following the collision. Three studies have provided different theories for what happened after Earth was struck by a Mars-sized object called Theia, 4.45 billion years ago. What is agreed on, though, is that the impact actually happened (artist's illustration shown). This is known as the giant impact hypothesis . The two theories appear in the journal Nature across three studies - two in favour of the \u2018similar to Earth\u2019 theory, and the other favouring the \u2018shower of debris\u2019 model. In the latter theory, a team of scientists at the University of Maryland said the impact of Theia with Earth was so violent, the resulting debris cloud mixed thoroughly before settling down and forming the moon. Many researchers believe the moon formed after Earth was hit by a planet the size of Mars billions of years ago. This is called the giant impact hypothesis. The hypothesis claims the moon is debris left over following an indirect collision between our planet and an astronomical body approximately 4.5 billion years ago. The colliding body is sometimes called Theia, after the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, the goddess of the Moon. But one mystery has persisted, revealed by rocks the Apollo astronauts brought back from the moon - why are the moon and Earth so similar in their composition? Several different theories have emerged over the years to explain the similar fingerprints of Earth and the moon. Perhaps the impact created a huge cloud of debris that mixed thoroughly with the Earth and then later condensed to form the moon. Or Theia could have, coincidentally, been isotopically similar to young Earth. A third possibility is that the moon formed from Earthen materials, rather than from Theia, although this would have been a very unusual type of impact. This cloud would have been composed of some Earth material, explaining the similarity between Earth and the moon, and other material. \u2018This means that, right after the moon formed, it had exactly the same isotopic composition as Earth's mantle,\u2019 said Dr Richard Walker, a professor of geology at UMD and co-author of the study. Both bodies have a similar isotopic \u2018fingerprint,\u2019 notably similar types of Tungsten, suggesting they had a similar origin. One difference, though, is that Earth has proportionally much less of a lighter isotope known as Tungsten-182. The team said this is because after both bodies formed, Earth swept up more debris that had little Tungsten-182. \u2018We still need to work out the details, but it's clear that our early solar system was a very violent place,\u2019 added Dr Walker.

Still, they're getting forward while leaving enough men back to fend against what could be a devastating counter attack. 12mins: Better from Almeria. They've won two out of their last three and are trying to bring some of that confidence into this one.

One 'threatening to kill' charge has been dropped and he has been remanded Rudd on bail, with existing conditions, until sentencing on June 26. Rudd was also initially charged with \"attempting to procure murder\", but it was dropped after prosecutors decided there was insufficient evidence to proceed.

Countering President Barack Obama's previous assertion, Senator Bob Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, said on Sunday that congressional oversight 'doesn't mean there won't be a deal'. The 62-year-old politician continued: 'We just set in place a process to ensure that if there's a deal, it's a deal that will stand the test of time, that will keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.' Making an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Corker said that Congressional scrutiny and approval of any nuclear agreement with Iran is essential to help make sure that the deal is not a bad one. Scroll down for video . Chairman: Senator Bob Corker (pictured), of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has denied partisan politics in Washington DC could derail America's landmark agreement to curb Iran's nuclear capabilities . He said that Congress has a responsibility to scour the details of a final plan - including any classified annexes - and ask the Obama administration hard questions about it, before finally voting on it. 'It's very important that Congress is in the middle of this, understanding, teasing out, asking those important questions,' Corker said. Negotiators announced a framework deal on Thursday. The deal is scheduled to be finalized by June 30. Meanwhile, the Committee is due to meet April 14 to consider Corker's legislation to ensure that Congress debates and signs off on any pact. The bill requires the president to transmit, within five days of reaching a final deal, the text of the full agreement, along with materials related to its implementation. With key elements still to be finalized, the framework agreement sealed by U.S.-led world powers describes a program for stunting Iran's capacity to produce nuclear weapons, while giving Tehran quick access to assets and markets now blocked by international sanctions. In defending the framework and a potential final pact, US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz cited what he called 'unprecedented access and transparency' into Iran's nuclear activities. Argument: Countering President Barack Obama's (pictured) previous assertion, Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, told Fox News Sunday that congressional oversight 'doesn't mean there won't be a deal' These will allow the U.S. and its partner negotiators to know almost instantly should Iran try to evade the oversight, Moniz said during an appearance on CBS' 'Face The Nation. This is a long-term arrangement, he stressed, with requirements lasting a quarter century or more. 'We'll have eyes on the entire supply chain of uranium,' he added on the program. 'Going back to mines, the mills, we'll have continuous surveillance of centrifuge production.'

If they are successful, the pair mate and the male looks after young that hatch from sticky eggs until they are ready to fend for themselves after around a month.

Males build nests under rocks during mating season (pictured), which runs from May to July and sing to attract female visitors. The creature is well camouflaged so sound is the best way to get attention . This is important because males nest close together to one another and form singing choruses like frogs or toads to demonstrate their virility and strength.

Lusitanian toadfish typically weigh more than four lbs (2kg) and their large, flat heads and wide mouths, make them look like toads, giving their their name.

Patricia Jannuzzi was put on administrative leave last month and was asked to disable her Facebook page when her comments drew wide publicity, in part after school alumnus Scott Lyons wrote a critical letter that was shared online by Thelma & Louise star Susan Sarandon, who's his aunt. Another one of Jannuzzi's posts compared a lesbian relationship to news of Egyptian men being beheaded and she said that 'secular materialists (are) making our country so weak we cannot fight the dictatorship of Militant Islam.' Patricia Jannuzzi, right, who wrote in a Facebook post that gays were behind an 'agenda' to 'reengineer western civ into slow extinction', has been reinstated at Immaculata High School despite protests from the likes of Susan Sarandon . A letter was sent on Friday to faculty and staff members at Immaculata High School in Somerville saying Jannuzzi had been reinstated, Gannett New Jersey reports. Monsignor Seamus Brennan, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, said in the letter that Catholic teachers should communicate the faith in 'a way that is positive and never hurtful.' 'Tone and choice of words matter and I trust Mrs. Jannuzzi's stated promise to strive always to teach in a spirit of truth and charity,' Brennan wrote. He cited Jannuzzi's 'otherwise good reputation as an educator over 30 years at Immaculata' as a factor. After school officials and Diocese of Metuchen Bishop Paul Bootkoski distanced themselves from Jannuzzi's remarks, the diocese was on the end of a backlash from conservatives and traditionalists upset that the school and church did not side with their teacher against a liberal Hollywood activist.

In a statement posted on the fundraising page, Jannuzzi's attorney David Oakley said all of the contributions would be returned. Oakley said Jannuzzi was 'very happy' with the turn of events. 'I'm delighted with the understanding,' he said Friday. 'We're grateful to the school for engaging in the process.' Michael Hichborn, president of Lepanto Institute, the conservative Catholic group that paid for the radio ads, said on Friday he was surprised by the news.

Patrick James Fredricksen, 30 - who has previous convictions for unlawful sexual activity with a minor and impersonating a firefighter - was stopped on his way to one child's home in eastern Utah, police say. He had already used the bus's on-board list of children's names and addresses to try and abduct a young girl, they added. Fredricksen has now been booked into Emery County Jail for investigation of theft of a vehicle and attempted child kidnapping. He is also expected to face a charge of damaging a prison after breaking a sprinkler pipe inside his cell and flooding the booking area, said sheriff spokeswoman Janalee Luke. Fredricksen's crime spree is alleged to have started while he was laying turf for a landscaping firm at a baseball complex in Huntington on Monday. An employee at the site phoned the local sheriff's office to report a worker 'was acting strange' and had left on foot with a set of master keys to the complex. Shortly afterwards, a nearby funeral-parlor worker reported that his car had been stolen from the company car park. Audacious: Fredricksen is said to have taken an American school bus and driven it to youngsters' homes . He told police he had noticed a 'suspicious' person around the building' but was talking to a bereaved family at the time so 'wasn't too concerned', according to the sheriff's office. They claim Fredricksen was the thief and that he drove the car to an empty school bus, which had its keys inside. 'After stealing the bus and using a list he found in the bus containing names and directions [to children's houses], Fredricksen attempted to pick one child up at her home and was asking directions to a second child's home,' said the sheriff's office. He had been foiled in his first attempt to a child after parking the bus on the family's driveway, according to KSL News. The girl's father got to the vehicle first and would not let her board after quizzing the driver. Fredricksen was eventually stopped by a sheriff's lieutenant following a report of a suspicious person driving a school bus in the Cleveland area of Emery County.

+{"article": "An intriguing picture on Twitter has given an insight into the meticulous preparation of a commentator for a football match. BBC Radio 5 Live commentator Guy Mowbray's notes for Monday night's Premier League clash between Liverpool and Newcastle at Anfield were posted ahead of kick-off. BBC commentator Guy Mowbray's commentary notes for Liverpool's league match against Newcastle . Mowbray has worked for the BBC since 2004 . And Mowbray was not far off from correctly predicting the starting line-ups, naming 19 of the 22 players who took to the field. However, he surprisingly, and incorrectly, predicted that 18-year-old midfielder Cameron Brannagan would make his first Liverpool start. Instead Jordan Ibe returned from injury, while Brannagan was an unused substitute in Liverpool's 2-0 win at Anfield. The notes are thorough from start to finish with numbers for appearances, goals, transfer fees and other interesting tidbits to keep the millions of listeners across the country well informed. Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet's political science degree is noted, as is the fact that Jordon Ibe - though the 19-year-old's first name was spelt incorrectly in the notes as 'Jordan' - was born on Raheem Sterling's first birthday. Also mentioned is Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul congratulating Sunderland's Jermain Defoe on his goal in the recent Wear-Tyne derby, Jamie Sterry's Italian grandad, and the fact that Newcastle defender Ryan Taylor is a Liverpool fan. Mowbray, 43, was the youngest ever television commentator on a World Cup final when he covered the 1998 edition for Eurosport. He has worked for the BBC since 2004. Radio 5 Live's commentators now have it harder than ever after a recent change to bring the station's games in line with TV coverage, with just one commentator and one summariser. In previous years there had been two commentators who switched at the mid-point of each half, with a summariser interjecting for 90 minutes. However since 2012 the BBC commentaries have been reduced to a single commentator, putting more pressure on the likes of Mowbray to be better prepared than ever. Raheem Sterling celebrates after scoring the opening goal for Liverpool at Anfield on Monday night . Mowbray's notes are more detailed, but less colourful than those produced by another BBC commentator, Nick Barnes, who works for the corporation's Radio Newcastle. Barnes posts some of his notes for Newcastle games on Twitter, complete with his commentary microphone, showing off his artistry as well as his research.

The mother of three was told during the sentencing on Friday that she must also register as a sex offender for life.

Summer Michelle Hansen (above in court during her sentencing on Friday), 32, was sentenced on Friday to three years in state prison and must also register as a sex offender for life . Parents of the victims were disappointed that the judge approved Hansen's plea agreement, as she could have faced 13 years in prison if convicted at trial . Hansen entered a guilty plea in February to the 16 felony counts related to sex acts with her five male students . Judge Dugan said she took into consideration factors such as the former teacher's admittance of guilt and lack of prior criminal history when deciding on an appropriate sentence. In court on Friday, the judge told Hansen: 'You're a mother yourself. It's beyond me to understand your behavior.' Deputy District Attorney Kimberly Williams said that her office opposed the length of the sentence proposed by the judge but that she was happy to see Hansen take responsibility for her actions, according to the Press Enterprise. Hansen made an emotional plea to the victims' families while in court saying she prayed for them every night and that she was 'heartbroken', according to KTLA. 'I'm not a monster. I made bad choices in life and for that I'm truly, truly sorry,' Hansen said through tears. The ex-teacher came under investigation two years ago after a former student at Centennial High School came forward to say he had sex with Hansen, and she was arrested in June 2013. Prosecutors said the crimes took place in her classroom, a school utility room, her car and at one victim's home between May 2012 and 2013, according to KTLA.

The government has approved funding for Cambridgeshire-based Mole Solutions to develop the idea as an alternative to the conventional systems of transporting goods by road.

But this week, singer Miley Cyrus decided to challenge convention and leave her underarms unshaved - perhaps she's onto something, as there may be health benefits to having an ample covering of fuzz. Here, with the help of experts, we explore why being hairy may be good for you. Singer Miley Cyrus this week shocked fans with this photo by challenging convention - and leaving her underarms unshaved . HOW BODY HAIR HELPS YOUR SKIN HEAL . Hair anywhere on the body is important for maintaining skin health, explains Des Tobin, a professor of cell biology at the University of Bradford. 'Each hair follicle [the tiny structure that sprouts hairs] is not just producing a hair fibre, but also has masses of blood vessels, nerves and fat around it.' Hair follicles are also rich in stem cells - cells that never lose the capacity to renew themselves - which help the skin heal. 'If you compared a wound on the outside of a man's arm, where the hair follicles are larger and more numerous, with a wound on the inside of the arm, the one on the outside would heal better, because of the increased stem cells and blood supply, among other factors,' says Professor Tobin. Similarly, a bald scalp is less able to cope with nicks, cuts and bruising than a hairy one because of the lack of healthy follicles. As we age, follicles shrink and while people who lose hair will still have some stem cells, their healing capacity may be reduced. The good news is that removing hair through shaving or waxing won't reduce these benefits because the hair follicles are still intact. ... AND PROVIDES SUN PROTECTION . Body hair harks back to our prehistoric ancestors - it was our only garment, keeping us warm and protecting us from environmental impact such as sunlight, explains Nick Lowe, consultant dermatologist from London's Cranley Clinic. While few of us have dense enough hair to serve this purpose now, someone who's particularly hairy may have an extra degree of sun protection, he says. Another historic function of body hair was to keep us warm, says Professor Tobin, who is also director of the Centre for Skin Sciences. 'We do know bald heads lose more heat, and that when we're cold, our body hair stands on end to trap warm air closer to the surface of the skin.' Body hair harks back to our prehistoric ancestors - it was our only garment. Now, experts have revealed the various ways in which being hairy may be good for us - despite our constant attempts to remove it . DON'T PLUCK YOUR NASAL HAIR . Unsightly as they may be, hairs in the nostrils do have a role - to prevent foreign material, such as dust, getting in to the nose and lungs, says George Murty, an ear, nose and throat consultant at University Hospitals of Leicester.

Warm-up games can be low-key affairs but there cannot have been many times when an international side have been pitched against a team as bad as this. St Kitts were simply shambolic, so bad that Chigwell Cricket Club could give them a decent game, and an almost tragic example of the steep decline of Caribbean cricket. They were simply not fit for purpose. Jos Buttler appeals for a stumping as England dominated the second day of a farcical match in St Kitts . Mark Wood looked lively in his early spell after he was brought in for his first bowl for England . The statistics will say that England, having bowled St Kitts out for 59 on the first day of their opening two-day tour match, rattled up 379 for six declared with both Alastair Cook and Ian Bell retiring out. Then St Kitts, given just one session to hang on, capitulated again and finished on 76 for seven, narrowly avoiding handing England a hollow victory. The match was drawn, just about, and it should also have been hung and quartered. The modern fixture madness that will see England play 17 Tests in the next 10 months makes proper warm-ups almost impossible and is one of the main reasons why home teams nearly always win Test series these days. But when they are as meaningless as this it is questionable why it is even worth bothering. England may have spent time in the middle but they may as well have just turned up in Antigua next week to play the first of three Tests. Wood celebrates his first England wicket, but he is probably still a way off getting a first Test cap . Alastair Cook acknowledges the crowd after making a century, shortly before being retired out . Jos Battler had a short go at attacking the home bowlers before England declared with a mammoth 320 lead . For what it is worth, Bell and Joe Root made untroubled half-centuries yesterday after Cook had moved to his first century for England since the Ashes warm-up in Hobart 18 months ago and promptly retired. Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler then had a bit of a bash before England declared at the fall of Stokes just before tea, the small matter of 320 ahead. Then, in a move which further devalued the authenticity of the \u2018contest,\u2019 England brought Liam Plunkett and Mark Wood into the match for a work out. Wood, the Durham fast bowler, looked lively in his first bowl for England off his minimalist run-up and earned his first wicket when he bowled Shane Jeffers but it is unlikely to be enough to earn him a first Test cap just yet.

+{"article": "The very first black James Bond villain, Yaphet Kotto, has said the legendary secret agent role should only ever be portrayed by a white actor and 'political correctness be damned'. Kotto, who starred as Dr Kananga in the 1973 Bond installment Live And Let Die, said the role was created by Ian Fleming for a white actor and should be portrayed on the big screen as such. His comments come in response to months of speculation that black British actor Idris Elba is in the running to be named as Daniel Craig's successor. Scroll down for video . Yaphet Kotto (pictured opposite Roger Moore in Live And Let Die) said James Bond cannot be portrayed by a black man . In an interview with Big Issue, Kotto said: 'Political correctness be damned, we have to stay with what is literally correct.' He said: 'He was established as a white character, played by white actors. I don't think it's right for black actors or writers to do roles that whites have made historically white roles.' Kotto argued that a black man could play 003 or 006, but could not be 007, and suggested new characters should be written for black heroes. Last month veteran Bond actor Roger Moore was widely condemned for his claim that Elba, 42, could not be the next James Bond because he was not 'English English' enough. Following the publication of the interview, Sir Roger faced strong criticism on Twitter over the statement. He made the 'English-English' comments, even though former Bonds Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan were Scottish, Welsh and Irish. After being accused of 'racism', he claimed his comments were lost in translation during the interview with a French magazine. Elba is seen as the leading contender to play Bond once Daniel Craig holsters his Walther PPK for the last time. Hackney-born Idris Elba (pictured) has been tipped to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond actor . Current James Bond Daniel Craig (pictured) has said Elba is the only possible choice to replace him . He was born in Hackney, raised in East Ham, schooled in Canning Town, started work in Dagenham and he supports Arsenal. However, with speculation rampant he is being lined up to replace Craig, Elba himself has said he has ruled out taking the role. Today The Sun reported him as saying: 'It's a rumour that's really started to eat itself. If there was a chance of me getting Bond, it's gone.' He also responded to claims he was not 'English' enough for the role, stating he was 'born and raised' in England. Following Live and Let Die, Kotto went on to take central roles in several successful Hollywood films, including Alien and Midnight Run.

A black police constable has won a race discrimination case against his force after they did not promote him due to the colour of his skin. Ronnie Lungu was singled out as 'a marked man' by Wiltshire Police solely due to his race, the employment tribunal ruled. It found the 40-year-old was passed over for promotion in favour of white colleagues after his internal assessments were secretly downgraded to make him appear unworthy. It also heard evidence that derogatory comments were made about Mr Lungu based on his colour violating his dignity. When the PC raised concerns with his superiors they were not taken seriously and his complaints were brushed off as trivial. The force - which has only 16 ethnic minority officers out of a total of just over 1,000 - had denied the claims. But the tribunal ruled that the Zimbabwe-born officer was unlawfully discriminated against on grounds of race. Mr Lungu said: 'When I realised I was being singled out and treated badly because of the colour of my skin I felt so angry and upset. 'I had worked all my career to serve the community and be the best police officer I could but I was being penalised because I was black. 'It was totally unacceptable. But what made matters worse was that when I did raise the issue internally it wasn't taken seriously.' The tribunal in Bristol was told that the father-of-three joined the force as a police constable in 2003 after moving to England and 10 years later was temporarily promoted to the role of sergeant. After passing his sergeant's exam he applied for the role permanently, but he was turned down. Employment judges were told he was the only black candidate out of 20 officers to go for the position. The panel found that his internal assessments were specifically downgraded in order to make him appear unworthy of promotion. It also was told that a senior member of staff were invited to make negative comments about PC Lungu during an appraisal. The tribunal concluded that Wiltshire Police had singled out Mr Lungu as a 'marked man' on grounds of his race . The judgment read: 'The reduction in the scoring has the very significant effect in terms of making it appear reasonable that the one black applicant for promotion was scoring lower than the 19 white applicants and should therefore not be promoted.' It went on: 'This behaviour is so extreme that the Tribunal cannot think of any apparent motive other than one that is directly related to [the] Claimant's race.' Despite his treatment, Mr. Lungu is still serving as a PC with the force. 'I joined the force to uphold the law and I still would like to remain with the force,' he said.

John and Carolyn Jackson also forced some of the children to drink hot sauce or eat hot pepper flakes and weren't exposed until one of their biological children reported the abuse to someone outside the family, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Shumofsky said in his opening statement. That child, now in his teens, is expected to provide key testimony for the prosecution. The trial marks the second go-round for the Jacksons, whose previous trial last fall ended in a mistrial when a prosecutor inadvertently referred to the fact that one of the children had died.

Second trial: The Jacksons first child abuse trial was ruled a mistrial when a prosecutor mentioned the death of one of their sons - a detail that was not supposed to be mentioned in the proceedings. The Jacksons had three biological children and three adopted children. They have only been charged for abusing the foster children . The Jacksons, who live in Mount Holly, were stationed at Picatinny Arsenal, a military installation about 40 miles west of New York City, when the abuse occurred between 2005 and 2010, according to a 15-count superseding indictment. They had three biological children who showed no signs of abuse, Shumofsky said. But they disciplined their three foster children by withholding food and water as punishment and by hitting them with different objects, he added. The treatment left them with bruises and injuries including, for one child, a skull fracture and spinal fracture, and for another, a broken arm. The children were well under normal weight when they were removed from the Jackson home, Shumofsky said, including one who weighed less at nearly three years old than he did when he joined the family at 11 months old. One of the girls had scars, marks and infections and had a dangerously high level of salt in her body that doctors said they'd never seen before in a two-year-old, Shumofsky told jurors. Attorneys representing the Jacksons conceded that though the Jacksons' child-rearing methods may be objectionable to some, they didn't rise to the level of criminality. 'You might think, `I would never raise a hand to my child,'' said attorney Rubin Sinins, representing Carolyn Jackson. 'But that doesn't make it criminal. Because what Carolyn Jackson was doing was acting in good faith in her role as parent.' Jackson would have had to have known that her actions would cause harm to be considered guilty, he added.

+{"article": "More than a dozen areas in the US have been shaken by small earthquakes triggered by oil and gas drilling, according to a government report released today. The man-made quakes jolted once stable regions in eight states, including parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. Earthquakes, they said, were sometimes caused by fracking, in which large volumes of water, sand and chemicals are pumped into rock formations to free oil or gas. Scroll down for video . The study identified 17 areas in the central and eastern US with increased rates of induced seismicity. Since 2000, several of these areas have experienced high levels of seismicity. Researchers say there have been 'substantial increases since 2009 that continue today' They said the spike in seismic activity was largely down to the oil and gas industry injecting wastewater deep underground, which can activate dormant faults. Many studies have linked the rise in small quakes to the injection of wastewater into disposal wells, but the Geological Survey's report takes the first comprehensive look at where the man-made quakes are occurring. 'The hazard is high in these areas,' said Mark Petersen, who leads the agency's national mapping project. Oklahoma lately has been rocked by more magnitude-3 quakes than California, the most seismically active of the Lower 48 states, Petersen said. Oklahoma was not on scientists' radar until recently when the state experienced a spate of quakes, the largest registering a magnitude-5.6 in 2011.

The cumulative number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.0 or larger in the central and eastern US, 1973-2014. The rate of earthquakes began to increase starting around 2009 and accelerated in 2013-2014 . Earlier this week, the Oklahoma Geological Survey acknowledged that it is very likely most of the recent shaking is from wastewater disposal. Many faults awakened by drilling have not moved in millions of years, Geological Survey geophysicist William Ellsworth said. 'They're ancient faults,' Ellsworth said. 'We don't always know where they are.' A message to the American Petroleum Institute was not immediately returned. The industry group has said efforts are made to map fault lines where drilling occurs. The fluid pressure in the pores and fractures of the rocks is called the 'pore pressure.' The pore pressure acts against the weight of the rock and the forces holding the rock together. If the pore pressures are low - especially compared to the forces holding the rock together - then only the imbalance of natural in situ earth stresses will cause an occasional earthquake. If, however, pore pressures increase, then it would take less of an imbalance of in situ stresses to cause an earthquake. This type of failure is called shear failure. Injecting fluids into the subsurface is one way of increasing the pore pressure and causing faults and fractures to 'fail'", "summary": "Man-made quakes have hit once stable regions in central and eastern US .

The 23-year-old Ansari, who celebrated his call-up with four Essex wickets at The Kia Oval, graduated from Cambridge two years ago with a double first in politics and sociology. He is halfway through a 40,000-word masters on the 1960s civil rights movement in the American south, and plays the piano to a high level.

Surrey's Zafar Ansarihas been called up to England's ODI squad for the clash against Ireland . The left-handed batsman and left-arm spinner also has an eye on a career in academia one day . 'I think my Surrey team-mates enjoy having someone to talk to about things they don't think about or talk about necessarily,' Ansari told Sportsmail. 'I try to use the studies to avoid taking cricket too seriously. I think cricket is a sport, and isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. My studies and cricket are tools for each other, and I do try to see them in those instrumental ways.' Ansari, part of a young England squad picked with the 2019 World Cup in mind, opens in four-day cricket for his county, but bats in the middle order in limited-overs matches, bowls accurate left-arm spin and is an athletic fielder. England almost chose him for the Test tour of the Caribbean. James Taylor will captain England against Ireland . 'Playing in Dublin would be nerve-wracking because of the exposure,' he said. 'But when it comes to one-day cricket, I feel the gap between international and county cricket maybe isn't as big as between Test cricket and the second division.' Ansari's rise was accelerated by his five-wicket haul for Cambridge MCCU against Surrey back in 2011, when he removed Kevin Pietersen for 30 and helped the students to a 10-wicket win. Pietersen, now a county team-mate, was going through a difficult patch against left-arm spinners, but Ansari insists the pair have not spoken about the dismissal. 'It's never come up,' he said.

Leicester fought back from a shock 10-7 half time deficit to score 31 points in a one sided second half against the relegated Welsh. Captain Ben Youngs scored Leicester's first try in the third minute and five more followed after the interval from Laurence Pearce (two), Sam Harrison, Jamie Gibson, and Tom Youngs.

A cancer biology PhD student at Stanford University is facing four felony poisoning charges after confessing to putting a known carcinogen into classmates' water bottles over the course of weeks. Xiangyu Ouyang, 26, was on a state-sponsored scholarship from Singapore when authorities say she began dosing the bottles with paraformaldehyde - a potentially deadly form of embalming fluid - starting last September. Now, the recipient of Singapore's prestigious Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) scholarship has been dropped from the top university and could face as many as 8 years in prison. According to SFGate.com, Ouyang admitted to poisoning two students' bottles as well as her own. 'I am truly sorry for what happened, but I really didn't mean to harm people,' she allegedly told authorities. 'It was me crying out for help.' A former roommate of Ouyang's says both her parents were also researchers. Colleagues called her shy and insecure. One victim told authorities that Ouyang 'had never had a boyfriend, and envied those who had,' Vice reports. Despite her flaws, though, none of her classmates said they would have ever suspected the quiet Singaporean of trying to harm them. However, the students believed someone certainly was. 'I think someone is trying to kill me!' one student yelled after sipping from a poisoned water bottle. The alleged poisonings occurred from September through November, when Ouyang admitted to police she tampered with two bottles and her own. She was part of Stanford's Cancer Biology program but is no longer a student at the prestigious California university . One victim told police she 'immediately experienced a burning sensation in her mouth and throat. Her eyes became irritated and watery. She began salivating uncontrollably. Her throat was burning so bad that she could not even swallow the water.'

Ed Balls and the shadow health secretary Andy Burnham made the stark warning this morning, warning that the NHS 'cannot survive' another five years of the Tories in government. The Labour frontbenchers, launching a week of Labour attacks on the NHS, said there had been a 'dramatic decline in standards' in the NHS over the past five years. Shadow chancellor Ed Balls said if standards continued to decline at the current rate, then by 2020 millions more will face long waits in A&E and long waits to see GPs . He said if standards continued to decline at the current rate then by 2020 millions more will face long waits in A&E and long waits to see GPs. Ambulance response times for the most serious call-outs will rise to over nine minutes, 500,000 fewer older people will receive social care and 600,000 people will be forced to wait for more than four hours on trolleys on A&E, Mr Burnham warned.

The Southern Poverty Law Center in February filed a lawsuit against Georgia Department of Corrections officials on behalf of Ashley Diamond, a transgender woman. The lawsuit says prison officials have failed to provide adequate treatment for Diamond's gender dysphoria, a condition that causes a person to experience extreme distress because of a disconnect between the birth sex and gender identity. Prison officials must treat an inmate's gender identity condition just as they would treat any other medical or mental health condition, according to a Justice Department ruling in the case of transgender inmate Ashley Diamond . A photo of Diamond compared to her Department of Corrections mugshot shows the drastic difference without maintaining treatment . The Justice Department filed a brief in the case Friday saying it's not taking a position on the accuracy of Diamond's claims, but reminding prison officials that the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires them to provide inmates with individualized assessment and care for the condition. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gwendolyn Hogan wrote in an email that the agency doesn't comment on pending litigation. While similar cases have been brought in other courts, Justice Department officials said this is the first time the agency has gotten involved in one of these cases. That action signals this administration's commitment to protecting the interests of transgender people in this context and sends a message to state officials that the federal government has taken a clear position on the substantive legal issues in the case, said Georgia State University law professor Russell Covey. 'If Georgia disagrees, that sort of holds out the possibility of some future legal conflict between the state and the federal government,' he said. 'It's a kind of shot across the bow.' Diamond, who's 36, has identified as female since she was a child and began hormone therapy when she was 17, the lawsuit says. Diamond says she has been subject to ridicule and even sexual assault while behind bars . That gave her full breasts, a feminine shape, softer skin and a feminine appearance. Only inmates identified as transgender during their initial intake screenings are eligible for gender dysphoria treatment under Georgia Department of Corrections policy, but the personnel who do those screenings often aren't familiar with the condition, the lawsuit says. Despite having noticeable feminine physical characteristics and telling department staff she was transgender and receiving hormone therapy, Diamond was not evaluated for gender dysphoria and wasn't referred for treatment and her hormone therapy was halted, the lawsuit says. Though medical personnel subsequently evaluated her and determined she had gender dysphoria and that hormone therapy and female gender expression were medically necessary, department officials refused to authorize the treatment, the lawsuit says.

In a nutshell, it's the Champions League - but for Under 19 teams. In its second season, the Youth League was created by UEFA to enable up-and-coming players in Europe's leading academies to gain valuable experience of playing in continental competition. The group phase runs in parallel with its big brother, with the same 32 teams as in the Champions League matched in the same groups. The main difference is that the knockout rounds are single-legged and the semi-finals and final in the same place over the course of one weekend. SO, WHERE IS THAT? Monday's final will be played at the Stade Colovray, which is situated in the shadow of UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. It's a pleasant spot, overlooking Lake Geneva, and is the home of Stade Nyonnais, who play in the Swiss third tier.

It will kick-off at 3pm UK time and the match is live on British Eurosport. WHO WON THE COMPETITION LAST YEAR? The maiden winners of the Youth League were Barcelona, who defeated Benfica 3-0 in a one-sided final. The goals came from Rodrigo and a double from Munir El Haddadi, the competition's top goalscorer with 11 and now a member of the first-team squad. There was no English representation in the last four, though both Chelsea and Manchester City had made it to the quarter-finals. HOW HAVE THE BRITISH CLUBS DONE THIS YEAR? Chelsea, obviously, have made it all the way. Manchester City went out to Roma in the last eight, while both Arsenal and Liverpool tumbled out at the last 16 stage. Arsenal lost 1-0 to Atletico Madrid and Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Benfica. ALL HOPES WITH CHELSEA THEN? Yes, and they will enter Monday's match as the marginal favourites. It is well-established that the Stamford Bridge academy is one of the best in England and last season saw the Under 21 team claim the Premier League title and the Under 18s win the FA Youth Cup.

But trainers can be costly - proved by the latest adidas Boost shoes that have gone on sale for \u00a3130. Femail writer and marathon runner Lucy Waterlow tested out \u00a3130 adidas Ultra Boost trainers against Aldi's budget \u00a319.99 pair ahead of the London Marathon next week . In contrast, supermarket chain Aldi have a running flash sale in stores from tomorrow (Thursday) with trainers available for the budget price of \u00a319.99, while stocks last. The shoes you run in are important to prevent injuries and ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience - so can you really get the same results from a cheap supermarket pair over the costly version from a major sports brand? FEMAIL asked Lucy Waterlow, a marathoner with a personal best time of 3.06 and co-writer of Nell McAndrew's Guide To Running, to take them for a test run... THE TRAINERS . Adidas Ultra Boost, \u00a3130: Adidas promise to deliver 'your greatest run ever' with their new trainer which features their much-hyped 'Boost' technology. This is a type of cushioning that the sports brand have developed that looks like polystyrene and offers support and comfort to the wearer. Adidas say the Boost cushioning also gives 'energy return' so the wearer can run more effortlessly. The adidas Boost technology is a type of cushioning that they say will deliver 'your greatest run ever' while the Primeknit fabric is said to 'allow the natural expansion of any foot shape' At \u00a3130, the shoes only offer value for money if you intend to run in them often but the bumpy undersole doesn't seem to be that durable . It certainly seems to have worked for the numerous elite athletes, including Jessica Ennis, who have worn Boost trainers thanks to sponsorship deals. Wilson Kipsang wore the adidas Adizero Adios version when he ran what was then a World Record time of 2:03:23 in Berlin in 2013. Speaking of the Ultra Boost version, which have been on sale since February at a RRP of \u00a3130, adidas executive Eric Liedtke said: 'Ultra BOOST represents the culmination of years of work and meticulous research striving to create the greatest running shoe ever. 'All of the very best in adidas technology has been combined to create a shoe that provides industry leading Energy Return, alongside unprecedented adaptability and comfort.' Aldi Premium Running Shoes, \u00a319.99: The premium running shoes are part of the Aldi's latest 'Specialbuys' running range under the label 'Crane', which will be in stores from 16th April and available while stocks last. It's not the first time Aldi have sold running trainers", "summary": "Running is often celebrated as a cheap sport to take up .

The 31-year-old would travel around the south-eastern Russian city using poisoned sausages and setting traps to kill strays and occasionally even people's pets. Danila Kislitsyn (pictured at his trial) has been found guilty of killing 1,000 dogs by giving them poisoned sausages .

She added: 'We tried to confront him about it but he was extremely violent and would use spray before running off, so we finally decided to hand a report to police.

Mr Umunna, increasingly tipped as a likely successor to Ed Miliband, said he was opposed to 'taxing for the sake of taxing'. His remarks highlighted divisions in Labour's top ranks over the 50p rate, introduced for the last few weeks of Gordon Brown's government as a trap for the Tories. Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna, increasingly tipped as a likely successor to Ed Miliband, said he was opposed to 'taxing for the sake of taxing . When George Osborne reduced it to 45p, arguing the rate was deterring businesspeople and \u2018wealth creators\u2019, Labour railed against what it has ever since called a 'millionaires' tax cut'. In fact, the rate applied to income over \u00a3150,000, and Labour has said it will reintroduce it if re-elected. The Scottish National Party has pledged to vote in favour of a 50p top rate if it holds the balance of power after May 7. But Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls is said to want the new top rate to be temporary, while Mr Miliband is more ideologically wedded to maintaining it. During the Labour leadership race in 2010, Mr Miliband said the 50p rate should stay in place and was 'not just about reducing the deficit, it\u2019s about fairness in our society'.

The 25-year-old, who lives in Chula Vista, California, also had a fundraising website set up for her by her stepmother, Margaret Hudson. Well-wishers sent $5,000 towards her 'medical expenses' and high school friend Chelsey Whild also told NBC that a further $2,000 was raised for Meaghan at a bowling alley event. Miss Whild, who was one of a group of friends who shaved her head and got a tattoo, added: 'At one point there was the understanding that she may have had less than a year to live.'

She told 10 News: 'Little stuff, like the fact that her hair grew back pretty thick and usually with cancer patients it doesn't.' Her sister believes that Meaghan's alleged stunt was a cry for attention. Last July, Meaghan's story fell apart after an anonymous tip was made to the Chula Vista Police Department saying that she didn't really have cancer. Police said the 25-year-old admitted to faking the disease. On August 23rd last year, Meaghan's stepmother, who lives in Texas, posted an emotional apology on Give Forward. She wrote: 'I am saddened, embarrassed, and ashamed to have to give you this news, especially via email.

The postal carrier who flew a gyrocopter onto the lawn of the U.S. Capitol is facing two criminal charges. But he's being released from federal custody to return to Florida. Doug Hughes made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Washington on Thursday. That's one day after he steered his tiny aircraft onto the Capitol's West Lawn after flying through restricted airspace around the National Mall. He was charged with operating an unregistered aircraft and violating national airspace. Hughes said it was a political protest. Hughes was released on his own recognizance afterward and instructed to check in weekly with authorities in Tampa starting next week. In a soft voice, Hughes appeared to ask the judge a clarifying question about that obligation but otherwise he did not say anything significant. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that the copter 'apparently literally flew in under the radar,' as concerned lawmakers questioned how it was allowed to happen and why. Johnson said it's too soon to say whether Wednesday's incident should prompt changes in security procedures. 'I want to know all the facts before I reach an assessment of what can and should be done about gyrocopters in the future,' he said. But lawmakers said the incident exposed a gap in security, especially amid revelations that the pilot, Florida postal worker Doug Hughes, was interviewed by the Secret Service almost two years ago. The agency apparently determined he did not pose a threat, said Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the senior Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Cummings spoke Thursday with the Secret Service director. 'I think that there's absolutely a gap, and it's a very dangerous gap, with regard to our airspace,' Cummings said. 'I don't want people to get a message that they can just land anywhere. Suppose there was a bomb or an explosive device on that air vehicle? That could have been a major catastrophe.' How'd it happen? Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that the copter 'apparently literally flew in under the radar,' as concerned lawmakers questioned how it was allowed to happen and why . Approach: The small gyro-copter (circled in red) lands on the West Lawn of the Capitol in Washington as members of the public walk by. The stunt hasn't cost him his freedom, yet, but means he must check in with authorities every week as he awaits trial . Johnson said the Secret Service passed along the information from the interview with Hughes, who was to appear in court Thursday afternoon, to 'all of the appropriate law enforcement agencies.' House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the incident 'stunning.' 'What safeguards can we use? We don't want to be a place where we're saying `This is an iron-clad Capitol.'

Known only by the name Gulnaz, the Kabul-based woman was only 16-years-old when she fell pregnant with the child of her depraved attacker Asadullah - who is also married to her cousin. Even though a rape led to her pregnancy, Gulnaz's brothers insisted she would not be allowed to return to her 'shamed' family as she was unmarried and a Kabul court sentenced her to two years in prison for 'adultery by force', later increased to 12 years following an appeal. The only hope of a reduced sentence was to marry Asadullah, which she did in early 2013. Now she is pregnant with his third child but insists she only agreed to marry her rapist so that her first daughter - named Smile - could live a shame-free life in the Afghan capital's 'traditional' society. Just over two years after Gulnaz married Asadullah, the couple agreed to a joint interview with CNN's Nick Paton Walsh. Victim: Known only by the name Gulnaz (left), the woman was only 16-years-old when she fell pregnant with Smile (centre) - the child of her rapist Asadullah (right) Agonising decision: Gulnaz said that she had married the man who had attacked her because she didn't want to ruin her daughter's life . Gulnaz said that her decision to marry the rapist was purely based on the fact her daughter, Smile, would have been unable to live a normal life in the Afghan capital without a father. Tragic: Gulnaz said that her decision to marry the rapist enabled Smile to live a normal life . 'I didn't want to ruin the life of my daughter or leave myself helpless so I agreed to marry him,' she said. 'We are traditional people. When we get a bad name, we prefer death to living with that name in society,' Gulnaz added, reportedly refusing to look her husband in the eye during the interview. Asadullah - who was jailed for the rape but subsequently had sentence reduced - appears totally remorseless about his crime. He insists that by agreeing to marry her, he actually 'rescued' Gulnaz. 'If I hadn't married her according to our traditions, she couldn't have lived back in society,' he said. 'Her brothers didn't want to accept her back. Now, she doesn't have any of those problems,' he added. Asadullah is still married to his first wife - Gulnaz's first cousin - with whom he has five children. In total seven children and three adults live in the family house. Gulnaz was found guilty of 'adultery by force' following the brutal attack in 2008. When the case came to court Gulnaz was sentenced to two years in jail, which was later increased to 12 years on appeal.

The important medal, which was awarded by Congress earlier in the week, arrived in a ceremonial B-25 flight . Cole, a Dayton native, was mission leader and James 'Jimmy' Doolittle's co-pilot for the B-25 bombers' attack that stunned Japan and lifted American spirits less than five months after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Cole flew with Doolittle in plane No. 1 of the 16 launched from an aircraft carrier. Thatcher was engineer-gunner aboard the 7th plane, nicknamed 'The Ruptured Duck,' whose crew's crash-landing and evasion of Japanese troops in China was depicted in the movie Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. Thatcher, who was played by Robert Walker in the movie while Spencer Tracy portrayed Doolittle, chuckled as he recounted how the Raiders had given little thought at the time of the raid about earning a place in history.

Former police inspector Neville Hackett said that his son had 'his life threatened by a well-known associate of criminals' two years ago, leading the swimmer to immediately hop on a plane to his parent's home in the Gold Coast. 'I know he used Stilnox while he was swimming but he wasn't hooked on it. It was when his life was threatened and he couldn't sleep at night from all the worry,' Hackett senior told The Daily Telegraph. Scroll down for video . Grant Hackett's father has revealed the swimmer's sleeping pill addiction was triggered by a death threat . The revelation comes after the 34-year-old made a come back last Sunday when he earned a 2015 world titles relay team berth by cruising to fourth place in one minute and 46.84 seconds . 'That's what really caused the Stilnox abuse and the addiction.' Hackett senior admitted that while the threat was never reported to police, it was taken very seriously by the swimmer's family. The dual Olympic champion appears to have recovered from his tumultuous year, which ended with a five-week stint in an Arizona rehab clinic. Following his swimming comeback on Sunday night, in which he earned a 2015 world titles relay team berth by cruising to fourth place in one minute and 46.84 seconds, Hackett reflected on how much he had turned his life around in the past 12 months. Former police inspector Neville Hackett (centre) said that his son had 'his life threatened by a well-known associate of criminals' two years ago . The addiction to Stilnox which ensued, led Hackett's personal life to fall apart last year. It also began around the time he divorced Australian singer Candice Alley in August 2013 . 'If you had asked me 10 years ago if the only thing that got me on the team was on the relay it would be bitter disappointment,' Hackett said. 'But right now, it is one of the biggest achievements of my life.' The 34-year-old made the team after only six months of training following a six-year layoff, with his training schedule involving 55-60km of swimming a week and three gym sessions, according to coach Denis Cotterell. While Hackett's personal life fell apart last year due to his sleeping pill addiction, his professional demons went back as far as his last major meet, the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, where he was denied a record third straight 1500m gold medal. The dual Olympic champion said, following his Sunday night achievement: 'If you had asked me 10 years ago if the only thing that got me on the team was on the relay it would be bitter disappointment, but right now, it is one of the biggest achievements of my life' He made the team after only six months of training following a six-year layoff, with his training schedule now involving 55-60km", "summary": "Hackett's father said son's life was threatened by 'associate of criminals' The threats, made two years ago, were not reported to police .

A 'hedonistic' conman who escaped from prison after sending staff a fake email saying he had been granted bail has been jailed for seven years. Neil Moore, 28, was on remand at Wandsworth Prison in south-west London for a \u00a31.8million fraud when he emailed wardens posing as a court clerk manager at 'Southwalk Crown Court'. It allowed the fraudster to brazenly walk out of prison on March 10 last year, an escape motivated by Moore's fear he would be harmed by fellow inmates after striking up a relationship with a transgender individual at HMP Wandsworth. Moore's escape only became apparent three days later when his solicitors attended the prison for a conference with him and discovered he was gone, London's Southwark Crown Court heard. The judge, Recorder David Hunt QC, described the escape as 'sophisticated and ingenious'. He said: 'The way you contrived your escape was potentially more of a threat to the integrity of the prison system, and therefore to the public, than the mere use of brute force. 'And in my judgment there is an obvious need to deter others from trying to procure their escape through the same or similar means.' While behind bars Moore set up a website, using the address and telephone number of the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand, using an 'illicit' mobile phone that was used widely in the prison. He created a domain name similar to the court service's hmcts.gsi.gov.uk, emailing the custody mailbox from an account ending hmcts-gsi-gov-uk. Investigations, with the help of Homeland Security in the US, revealed Moore set up the website using the name of the officer who was investigating him, Detective Inspector Chris Soole. Moore grew up in Trinidad and Tobago, where he had a difficult relationship with his parents on account of his sexuality.

Mr Hunt said: 'I accept that you may have had a troubled early life as a result of your sexual orientation, but that can be no excuse for committing fraud.' He said Moore committed 'sophisticated' frauds to fund a 'hedonistic lifestyle'. When Moore's grandfather died he left him an amount of money which he frittered away partying, the court heard. Mr Femi-Ole explained that after Moore left his native country, he changed his name and entered a civil partnership, committing the frauds to continue funding the lifestyle he had grown accustomed to. 'He became addicted and intoxicated by it, and the lifestyle he was able to enjoy. He entered into a civil partnership with a transgender individual,' he said. It was this relationship that ultimately led Moore to make his escape from prison, after they were both sent to HMP Wandsworth, it was said.

+{"article": "British exports to the rest of the world are surging ahead of those to the European Union, official figures showed yesterday. It is the first time since records began that such sales of UK goods have outstripped those to the EU for six months in a row. Previously they have beaten EU exports on a quarterly basis \u2013 or three months \u2013 but never for such a sustained period. The figures appear to vindicate David Cameron's 'mercantile' foreign policy, which has seen him lead trade missions all over the world in order to refocus trade away from the EU's struggling economies. They are also a major rebuff to Tony Blair, who claimed in a speech this week that quitting the EU would cause 'significant damage to our economy'. Meanwhile eurosceptics will seize on the figures as evidence that Britain could carve out a prosperous future outside the EU. The news that British sales to the rest of the world are surging ahead of those to Europe is a major blow to former Prime Minister Tony Blair's claim that leaving the EU would damage the economy . The figures appear to vindicate David Cameron's 'mercantile' foreign policy, which has seen him lead trade missions all over the world . But total sales of British goods overseas have fallen to the lowest level for nearly five years amid warnings that the strong pound and weak eurozone are acting like a 'straitjacket' on exporters. The slump will come as a setback for the Government ahead of the General Election next month. Britain has exported more goods to Europe than the rest of the world since the UK joined the Common Market in the 1970s. Exports to the Continent were worth \u00a3147.9billion in 2014 compared with \u00a3144.9billion to non-EU countries. But the gap has been closing in recent years as the crisis in the eurozone has hit demand for British-made goods and UK firms looked further afield for business. Exports to the EU in the three months to February were 7.4 per cent lower than a year earlier at \u00a334.4billion. At the same time, sales of goods stamped 'Made in Britain' to the rest of the world were up 4.2 per cent to \u00a337.9billion. Matthew Elliott, chief executive of Business for Britain, said: 'These figures put the kibosh on the scaremongering from the pro-EU cabal that would have had us stuck in the euro today. 'The EU makes up a declining share of our trade yet its out-of-date rules make it harder for the UK to do business across the globe. 'With firms on the Continent so reliant on trade with the UK we are in a strong position to renegotiate our relationship inside the EU or secure a trade deal outside altogether.' British goods overseas have fallen to the lowest level for nearly five years amid warnings that the strong pound and weak eurozone are acting like a 'straitjacket' on exporters .

The 86-year-old\u2019s announcement came after he infuriated his daughter Marine, the far-right party\u2019s current leader, with a series of racist and anti-Semitic remarks last week. Mr Le Pen had repeated his claim that the Holocaust - in which the Nazis murdered six million Jews - was \u2018a detail of history\u2019 and had also praised France\u2019s wartime leader Marshal Petain, who collaborated with Hitler. Keeping it in the family: National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, 86, right, angered daughter Marine, 46, and now wants granddaughter Marion Marechal-Le Pen, 25, to replace him in the regional elections . Next generation: Shortly after her grandfather's comments, Marion Marechal-Le Pen, 25, pictured with Le Pen in 2012, confirmed that she would seek the party\u2019s nomination . His 46-year-old daughter had reacted furiously to the outburst, saying she would oppose his candidacy in regional elections in December and accusing him of \u2018political suicide\u2019. Now party founder Le Pen has told French publication Le Figaro that he will not stand in the south-east Provence-Alpes-Cote d\u2019Azur region \u2018even though I think I am the best candidate\u2019. He said it was because the party was at risk of being \u2018dangerously weakened\u2019 over what he called a severe but unjustified crisis over his comments. The former paratrooper, who remains the Front\u2019s honorary president and will retain his seat in the European Parliament, said: \u2018If I must make a sacrifice for the future of the movement, I would not be the one to cause it damage,\u2019 Mr Le Pen said the best replacement candidate would be his grand-daughter Marion Marechal-Le Pen, 25, who confirmed shortly after that she would seek the party\u2019s nomination. Family feud: National Front leader Marine accused her father of 'political suicide' after he called the Holocaust \u2018a detail of history\u2019 and had also praised France\u2019s wartime leader Marshal Petain . Mr Le Pen told the magazine: \u2018If she accepts, I think she would head a very good list (of candidates). She is certainly the best, I am not going to say after me, but she is.\u2019 His granddaughter is seen as more socially conservative than her aunt. Unlike Marine, Marion was firmly against a 2013 law permitting same-sex marriage in France. Asked if he felt betrayed by his daughter, Mr Le Pen told Le Figaro Magazine: \u2018Betrayed would be going a bit far, but let\u2019s say I\u2019m disappointed.\u2019 A top party official, Florian Philippot, said on i-Tele television that Le Pen had discussed the decision with party leadership. By standing down, Mr Le Pen avoids possible formal exclusion as a candidate on Friday, when the National Front\u2019s political bureau meets to designate who will run in the December election.

Seven of Slager's fellow cops responded to his call forback-up after the shooting - as handcuffed Walter Scott lay dead or dying with five bullet wounds to the back. But the fact that his wounds were to the back do not feature in subsequent accounts of the shooting given to the media, or in the force's incident report filed after the shooting. Officers also told an internal report that they gave Scott CPR, but the video only shows them checking his pulse and standing over his body. One officer is also present when Slager picks up an object - allegedly his Taser - and puts it near Scott's body. Scroll down for video . Questions: Officer Clarence Haberdashem searches Walter Scott's handcuffed body in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. He later told colleagues that he administered CPR . Scott's father said of the incident: 'It would have never come to light [had video not emerged]. They would have swept it under the rug, like they did with many others.' Slager's former attorney had initially claimed that the officer fired on Scott during a struggle for his Taser and had felt threatened. 'When confronted, Officer Slager reached for his Taser \u2014 as trained by the department \u2014 and then a struggle ensued,' David Aylor said. 'The driver tried to overpower Officer Slager in an effort to take his Taser. [He] felt threatened and reached for his department-issued firearm and fired his weapon.' On Wednesday North Charleston Mayor Keith Sumney refused to answer a question on Slager's fellow officers' culpability, saying it would be addressed in the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division [SLED] investigation. There are also questions over discrepancies between responding officers' version of events in an internal incident report and what the witness video shows.

The video of the shooting shows Officer Clarence Haberdasham was the first to arrive on scene as Scott lay handcuffed on the ground. As Haberdasham arrives, Slager runs back to position where he fired the fatal shots and appears to retrieve a dark object - claimed to be his Taser - and places it next to Scott's body. Haberdasham dons a pair of blue gloves, checks Scott's pulse, goes through his pockets and speaks on his radio and then walks away. Radio records show that an officer reported that Scott had gunshot wounds to the chest and right side and was 'unresponsive'. He later added that the vicitm had wounds to the back. Both Slager and Haberdasham stand over Scott's body, which remains handcuffed and face down.

The veteran host was attempting to warm up the studio audience ahead of his show on Monday when he made the off-colour gag. Letterman had just opened up questions to the floor, and fielded the first query of the night from a college employee, reported the New York Post. They asked what advice the scandal-hit comic would give to this year's graduates. Letterman, who was in 2009 forced to admit to string of affairs, said: 'Treat a lady like a wh\u2013e, and a wh\u2013e like a lady.' But the joke received a frosty reception from the shocked crowd. After being met with stunned silence, the host attempted to recover by offering further advice to graduates to 'eat salad' and 'always be nice'. However, several audience members at the Ed Sullivan Theater were furious over the sexist joke. Retired Jerry Stockton, from Virginia, called it 'disrespectful to women' while another, who would not be named, said it had been an 'odd choice' for the first joke of the evening. The gag is thought to have been a reference to a saying by 1930s screenwriter Wilson Mizner. Scroll down for video . Joe Logan, 41, from Pennsylvania, told the New York Post: 'Younger people watch his show. We already live in a culture that objectifies women, it's not right to make a joke like that.' A Letterman spokesman said he could not 'confirm the accuracy' of Monday's failed joke and would not comment further. But a source close to the show insisted 'It got a big laugh.' Letterman carried on with the show which had guests including John Travolta and Amy Schumer, star of her eponymous Comedy Central show, 'Inside Amy Schumer.' Old friends: David thanked John for being his friend over the decades during Monday's show. It was during a Monday warm up that he made the gag . The Grease actor, 61, had tried to bring his son Ben on to meet his 'old friend' Letterman but the nervous youngster had fled the stage into his mother's arms. The host later offered some advice to Schumer and instructed her to 'do something now that you'll regret.' So the comedienne immediately lifted her dress and flashed... her surfing scar to a relieved-looking Letterman. In October 2009, the veteran host of the Late Show had been forced to admit to a string of affairs live on air by a blackmailing producer. The host made the shocking revelation on his show that he had cheated on his wife, Regina Lasko, whom he had only married that March. He made the confession after becoming the victim of an extortion plot concocted by a then-CBS producer, Robert Halderman, who demanded $2 million in exchange for his silence over the affairs.

However, it was a scene that would have amused anyone who had known us both, or had read about us in gossip columns, in our heyday in the Eighties. There we were, two gentlemen in our 70s; me, a former newspaper editor and Peter a well-known businessman, with more than our fair share of silver hair. We were both pushing a buggy with a tiny baby inside: me, my son Ben, now four, who was born when I was 73; Peter, his daughter Rosabella, who arrived when he was 72. Our beautiful and much younger wives (a 40-year gap in his case, 25 in mine) were there too and it was smiles and congratulations all round. Donald Trelford (left) had his son Ben (back right) when he was 73 and his daughter Poppy (held by Donald) when he was 76-years-old . Since then Claire, 52, and I have had a second child, Poppy, while it has just been announced that 74-year-old Peter and Bella are expecting a sibling for their 20-month-old daughter. I was 76 when Poppy came along last May, making me, I believe, the oldest living British new father. So what advice could I give to other would-be septuagenarian fathers? Well, I know from experience that two children are more than twice the work of one. You have two minds and sensitivities to cope with, so to prevent jealousy equal attention is essential. For example, as she is only ten months old, Poppy\u2019s cot is in our bedroom. Much effort is required to stop Ben thinking he is being excluded when he sleeps on his own. Then there\u2019s the feeding, the nappy changing, the crying in the night and the wearying lack of sleep. The sheer physical effort of coping with children at this age can be demanding. So much so that I have to take a brisk daily walk and use an exercise bike and some modest weights to revive my shrinking muscles. After all, toddlers can be heavy and buggies even heavier. Then there is the manhandling of a mountain of luggage whenever we travel: suitcases, car seats, pushchairs, carry-cots and toys. Travelling with children is not easy, anyway, as I once discovered when I was bringing Ben back to Majorca on my own after a family trip to the UK. We were in the two seats nearest the window, with a rather formidable-looking lady, casually flicking through the pages of a style magazine, in the aisle seat. The plane had just taken off and was still climbing (with the lavatory off-limits) when I detected a terrible smell. Ben\u2019s nappy had overflowed on to the seat (note to nappy manufacturers: make them higher at the back). I worked away frantically with wet wipes and a plastic bag, worrying about the people sitting nearby.

+{"article": "Aubrey de Grey (pictured) says ageing is a 'disease that can and should be cured' With his Rasputin beard and lines etched deep into his forehead, Aubrey de Grey looks like a man a lot older than his 51 years. A penchant for beer, fried food and an aversion to exercise could fool you into believing the lanky ex-public schoolboy cares little about ageing. But you would be wrong. For de Grey, a charismatic Harrow School and Cambridge-educated biomedical theorist, firmly believes there is no reason, with the right 'therapies', why any of us shouldn't reach 500, 1,000 or even 5,000 years of age. It sounds bonkers but de Grey's theories have gained him some high-profile supporters in Silicon Valley, the super-rich tech enclave in northern California that is home to more middle-aged billionaires than anywhere else on the planet. PayPal boss Peter Thiel (worth \u00a31.5 billion) donated \u00a32.4 million to de Grey's anti-ageing institute Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS). Senescence is scientific jargon for ageing. While many academics mock him, in age-obsessed California de Grey now regularly breaks bread and funds his research with donations from some of the sharpest minds in the world, including Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin (who has talked of 'curing death') and Larry Ellison, of Oracle, who are all showing an interest in gerontology, or the study of ageing. Google's Bill Maris, who heads the computer giant's investment arm, said: 'We have tools in the life sciences to achieve anything you have the audacity to envision. I hope to live long enough not to die.' One source at a leading software company told The Mail on Sunday: 'De Grey has tapped a rich vein in Silicon Valley. He's become something of a controversial cheerleader for a generation of tech billionaires who have made their fortunes and now, of course, want to live for ever.' De Grey was raised in Chelsea by his artist mother Cordelia, who left him \u00a311 million when she died in 2011 \u2013 \u00a39 million of which he has invested in his company. He spent the remainder on a 'very nice house'. He never knew his father and became fascinated by seeking a cure for ageing while still at Harrow. Scroll down for video . 'Ageing is a disease that can and should be cured,' he says. 'I've been ridiculed but finally people are starting to come round to my way of thinking. Anyone who has ever wanted to change the world has been attacked. Gandhi said first they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you and then they say, \"We were with you all along\".' De Grey's radical thesis is that ageing can be halted and even reversed by treating the human body like a vintage car \u2013 'replace the parts, clean it up, keep it running smoothly way past its expected expiration date'. His argument is that cellular decay causes ageing, illness and, ultimately, death, and that technologies being developed now and inventions in the future will allow us to repair and replace damaged body", "summary": "Aubrey de Grey, 51, believes he will unlock secrets to huge advances in life .

Now, the 28-year-old is using his story of loss and confusion - in which he moved between doctors and psychiatric wards and was fed various concoctions of prescriptive medication before finally being diagnosed with bipolar disorder - to raise awareness of mental illness. Mental health advocate Nic Newling struggled through the confusing highs and depressing lows of an undiagnosed bipolar disorder between the ages of 13 and 18 . It was the unexpected and tragic death of his older, teenage brother Christopher (pictured right with Nic left), who killed himself amidst his own quieter battle with mental illnesses, which helped put his life back into perspective . Academically driven from a young age, Nic said that the time he was eight years old, he had planned his whole life out in his mind with the intention of becoming a vet.

What it looked like was not having any other interests, being snappy and grumpy and angry - which are all things that are not like me at all,' he told Daily Mail Australia. His bad moods progressed into forms of anxiety and depression and what Nic described as an 'overwhelming sadness that didn't come from any particular place', before taking on a level of psychosis. 'When things first started getting bad, I was experiencing symptoms of agitation, panic attacks, I was withdrawing from friends and life and not finding pleasure in the things that I used to find pleasurable, I was experiencing what I thought was OCD behaviors and I started thinking I was hearing things that weren't real,' he said.

'I'd literally just sit there in class and just fantasize about different ways I could kill myself with different objects in the room.'

Enid Hatch, 70, told of the horror as she ran out to the communal hallway of their sheltered housing complex near Cardiff to help what she thought was an injured man, only to discover blood splattered walls where her husband had been brutally beaten yards away. The man was in fact Alan Rogers, 73, who had smashed the skull of 76-year-old Fred Hatch. Yesterday Rogers was sentenced to a hospital order under the Mental Health Act and told he may never be released. Fred Hatch, 76, had bought his wife Enid 50 yellow roses - her favourite flowers - to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary, telling her 'each one is for a year of happiness'. He was brutally killed two months later . Grandfather Fred Hatch's injuries were so severe that the surgeon told his wife he had never seen anything so horrific in 20 years of neurosurgery. It is not the first time Mrs Hatch, 70, has lost a loved one in violent circumstances. Her sister Betty Elston was murdered on a beach in Sully in 1971 by a stranger who had absconded from a mental health institution. On their golden wedding, Mr Hatch had bought his wife 50 yellow roses - her favourite flowers - telling her 'each one is for a year of happiness'. The pair married six months after meeting in the Royal Navy and were together for five decades. But two months after their anniversary, Mrs Hatch said her life was 'destroyed' when her husband was killed in the horrific attack. Mrs Hatch said the memory of the bloody scene that greeted her as she went to look for her beloved husband at the sheltered accommodation where they lived in Dinas Powys has remained stuck in her head and said 'it will stay with me forever'. She said she had hoped they would go on as 'golden oldies' together. She spoke of the kind, caring and loving man she had known for over half a century, describing him as 'the love of my life'.

'He was the love of my life and my life is destroyed - this man has taken everything.' Heartbroken Mrs Hatch and her four children, who had rushed to their dying father's bedside for one last goodbye, were at Cardiff Crown Court to hear Rogers plead guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibilty. Michael Jones, prosecuting, said Rogers had been suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time and was 'profoundly mentally ill'.

But that did not stop the Palestinian youngster, dressed in full combat gear, from attempting to pelt Israeli police with stones during violent clashes on the West Bank. The bemused officers, equipped with helmets and body armour, calmly watched as the child launched his own assault before racing away. The incident raised fears that Palestinian children are being encouraged to mimic and glorify violence. David and Goliath battle: A five-year-old Palestinian boy pelted the Israeli police with stones as violence erupted during a rally in the northern West Bank . The dark-haired child, dressed in combat gear, raced back to safety after launching a series of missiles at around six heavily armed officers . The boy's stone attack came as violence erupted on the northern West Bank during annual demonstrations to mark Palestinian Prisoners Day. Soldiers used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd after more than 100 Palestinians rallied near Israel's separation barrier in the village of Bilin, with some throwing stones. At least one protester was believed to have been injured as violence flared on the streets. Prisoners Day is marked every year in solidarity with the more than 6,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails. 'We will not leave our prisoners in jail alone,' rally organiser Abdullah Abu Rahma said. 'We will defend their right to be released, because the majority of them have been arrested illegally by Israeli forces.' With Israel having arrested some 800,000 Palestinians in the occupied territories since 1967 - equivalent to 40 percent of the male population - almost every Palestinian family has been affected. During the last round of US-backed peace talks in 2013 and 2014, Israel freed dozens of long-term inmates. But after the negotiations broke down, and following the kidnap and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank, Israel arrested hundreds more. The current number of Palestinian prisoners is the highest for at least five years, according to figures from rights groups.

This weekend brings with it arguably Saints' biggest match of the season, with the visit of Tottenham likely to be key in the fight for European qualification. Mauricio Pochettino's first return to St Mary's adds extra spice to a match, ahead of which his successor felt the need to hold a team meeting to refocus his players' minds. Ronald Koeman says his Southampton players must remain focused on European qualification . Koeman spoke to Victor Wanyama and his other players to refocus them on the last five league games . Wanyama's claims that Arsenal were interested in his services were the catalyst and, while defending the 23-year-old by saying the story was 'bull****', Koeman called for his players to show more common sense. 'You know always in the last part of the season there are rumours talking about interest in players,' the Saints boss said. 'I don't like to say every time it's true or it's not true. 'It's important that everybody knows his position in the club. They have contracts - you can't talk about moving because you have a contract. That's not respectful to the club. 'We spoke about that, that we need that focus. If we don't have really that focus, we can't bring the level what we normally bring this season.'

They now have little more than two months to meet their own deadline of June 30 to sign a comprehensive accord, which hinges on both sides coming to an agreement on the timing of sanctions relief. The Obama administration moved on two fronts today to advance its nuclear diplomacy with Iran, with talks between top U.S. and Iranian diplomats at a United Nations conference in New York and an aggressive effort to sell the emerging deal to skeptical American lawmakers and constituencies in Washington. In this March 16 photo, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, left, listens to Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, right, during diplomatic talks about Iran's nuclear program in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Kerry is pictured here today giving remarks at the U.N. nuclear proliferation conference in New York . In the nation's capitol, lead U.S. negotiator Wendy Sherman told a conference of reform Jews that diplomatic collapse would leave Iran perilously close to nuclear weapons capacity.

All the activity was taking place as the Senate begins debate over empowering Congress to review and possibly reject any nuclear pact. Republican presidential candidates are lining up to oppose any deal with a government the U.S. considers the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and to show their support for Israel. Marco Rubio of Florida wants to require Iran's leaders to publicly accept Israel's right to exist, a nearly impossible mandate. Ted Cruz of Texas hopes to put the onus on advocates to win congressional approval of a deal, and not on opponents to gather enough votes for rejection. But even as the legislation moves forward, House Speaker John Boehner privately acknowledged to a gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition over the weekend that his party doesn't command enough votes to override a presidential veto of any resolution disapproving of an Iran deal, BloombergView reported. Boehner's spokesman, Michael Steel, didn't dispute the report. 'Obviously, it takes only a fraction of the House and Senate Democrats to sustain a veto, but it is impossible to say whether they will or not until we know what the final 'deal' looks like,' Steel told the Associated Press.

+{"article": "In the era of advanced DNA profiling, police can usually identify a suspect with a single strand of hair or a tiny drop of blood. Their techniques, however, fall apart if the suspect has a twin. Identical twins share 100 per cent of their genes, meaning that until now it has been impossible to tell which sibling a sample comes from. But the problem has been solved by a team of British researchers. Identical twins share 100 per cent of their genes, meaning that until now it has been impossible to tell which sibling a sample comes from. But researchers at the University of Huddersfield have created a technique which they claim can distinguish between the genetic fingerprints of identical twins (illustrated) Researchers at the University of Huddersfield have created a technique which they claim can distinguish between the genetic fingerprints of identical twins. The breakthrough may eradicate a stumbling block which has often meant it was impossible to tell which of the pair was guilty of a crime. Identical twins start life with the same genes because they come from the same fertilised egg which divides into two embryos. But as they age different life experiences, such as smoking or diet, create variations in the number of hydrogen bonds in the DNA. Using a technique called high resolution melt curve analysis - or HRMA - researchers can now identify the difference between each twin. HRMA subjects the DNA to increasingly high temperatures until the hydrogen bonds break, known as the melting temperature. The more hydrogen bonds that are present in the DNA, the higher the temperature required to melt them. In 2013, 22-year-old twins Mohammed and Aftab Asghar were both charged with raping a 17-year-old woman in Berkshire because the police were unsure which one DNA evidence came from. Mohammed was eventually convicted by a jury at Reading Crown Court, and charges dropped against Aftab because mobile phone evidence placed him elsewhere. But in some cases it has even led to prosecutions being dropped, rather than run the risk of convicting the wrong twin. Murder charges were dropped in 2011 against Orlando Nembhard, 19, accused of shooting a teenager outside a nightclub in Arizona, the US, because prosecutors could not prove that he was the murderer rather than his twin, Brandon. Dr Graham Williams, who leads the Forensic Genetics Research Group at Huddersfield, alongside Leander Stewart and their colleagues have now come up with a method which could solve such riddles. Identical twins start life with the same genes because they come from the same fertilised egg which divides into two embryos. But as they age their different life experiences create a variation in the number of hydrogen bonds within DNA (illustrated). This could be caused by smoking, exposure to chemicals, or different diets . Dr Graham Williams (pictured), who leads the Forensic Genetics Research Group at Huddersfield, found that by heating DNA until its bonds break these subtle differences become apparent. The technique is based on the concept of DNA methylation - the molecular mechanism that turns various genes on", "summary": "Identical twins start life with the same genes from the same fertilised egg .

Common causes include a fingernail scratching the eye, walking into something, and getting grit in the eye, particularly if the eye is then rubbed. It can also be caused by certain eye conditions, including trachoma, a bacterial infection. Injuries can also be caused by contact lens being put in and removed from the eye. Abrasions are very painful because there are many nerves that supply the cornea. The pain gets better as your eye heals, but this can take between 24 and 48 hours.

I did not think someone was capable of doing that,' says Sandra of the horrifying moment Anne informed them she'd managed to cancel their nuptials behind their back. 'Everything was paid for so it was a lot of worry,' she added. Luckily, the couple managed to piece their plans back together in time for their winter wedding though. and they subsequently took Anne to court for harassment. Sandra first met David after his 20-year marriage fell apart and her friend Anne, David's sister, suggested they meet. 'I met Anne for coffee and David came out and I've never let his side since,' she says. 'When I first met him I didn\u2019t realise how important he would become. He\u2019s my everything.' Before long the couple were inseparable. But although Anne's matchmaking had worked, she was not happy about their relationship and started sending Sandra threatening text messages telling her to stop seeing her brother. 'They were hurtful at the time but I couldn\u2019t understand why. Maybe it was jealousy,' says Sandra. \u2018My mum had lung cancer and was going through chemo at the time. Anne was sending messages saying, \"Your mum\u2019s dying and you better get back to her\".' Ann Duffy, pretended to be her now sister-in-law and cancelled her brother's wedding . But the relationship continued and Sandra and David became even closer. Then one day Sandra proposed. 'I was joking around - but not,' says Sandra. Then David took the hint and gave Sandra a romantic proposal. For a while the angry texts from Anne tailed off. 'We went to the registry office, put the deposit down and made special invites - I couldn't believe it was really happening,' Sandra says of the wedding. 'My mum got involved in the beginning and helped me pick my dress.' But in 2012, Sandra\u2019s mother lost her battle with cancer and a year later David\u2019s mother Celia also became ill and moved in with Sandra and David. But Sandra wouldn\u2019t let Anne in their house, which reignited the rift. \u2018I wouldn\u2019t let her come to my house and see her mum because of all the hurtful thing she\u2019s said to me.

Cook worked his way to an encouraging 50 but frustratingly was out playing Shannon Gabriel on for 76 . Yet it is nonsense to say a batsman who has hit 25 Test hundreds cannot drive the ball. Of course he can. The key for him is not to play the drive too early, when the ball is moving around and his balance at the crease is not quite right. Perhaps it has been playing too much one-day cricket, perhaps it has just been the pressure to score big runs again, but Cook has been searching for the ball far too early. Here he left the ball outside off stump and made the bowlers come to him, which took a lot of mental strength and composure. The drag-on was always going to be a danger on this pitch but Cook was right to try to play that shot because the cut is one of his big strengths. His eyes lit up when he was bowled a short, wide one by Shannon Gabriel.

Scientist Fergus Simpson has calculated the minimum size needed for intelligent life to survive, based on the laws of conservation of energy seen on Earth. And from this, he calculates that if intelligent extraterrestrials exist they will typically weigh 650lbs (300kg) - the median weight of a polar bear. Aliens (illustrated with a stock image) are often portrayed as diminutive beings, but in \u2018reality\u2019 they could be much larger, one scientist claims. Fergus Simpson from University of Barcelona applied a mathematical formula to assume aliens obey the same laws of conservation of energy as animals on Earth . Mr Simpson came to this conclusion by applying a mathematical formula that assumes aliens obey the same laws of conservation of energy as animals do on Earth. This means that larger animals need more resources to survive, so are less common than plentiful ants, for example. The cosmologist\u2019s calculations are also based on the idea that there\u2019s a minimum size needed for intelligent life, but don\u2019t factor in an alien planet\u2019s gravity. \u2018Throughout the animal kingdom, species which are physically larger invariably possess a lower population density, possibly due to their enhanced energy demands,\u2019 he wrote in a paper, published at arXiv.org. He said there must be a minimum body size necessary for supporting intelligent life, based on the range of body sizes of intelligent animals such as apes and humans, found on Earth. \u2018As a result, we should expect humans to be physically smaller than most other advanced species.\u2019 '...we conclude that most species are expected to exceed 300kg in body mass. The median body mass is similar to that of a polar bear.' He claims that just as it is on Earth, there are probably more small animals than larger ones in the universe, but that the larger a planet or biosphere the more likely it is to have evolved an intelligent species. Mr Simpson said there must be a minimum size necessary for supporting intelligent life, based on the range of body sizes of intelligent animals such as apes and humans, found on Earth. And, if they exist, he believes intelligent aliens typically weigh more than 650 lbs (300kg) - around the size of a polar bear (stock image) His argument follows that if clever aliens are large, there may be fewer of them, as they will likely live in a society with low population densities to ensure they have the resources they need. Study claims aliens are larger than those portrayed in sci-fi (stock image). But the calculations don't take into account an alien planet\u2019s surface gravity . Commenting on the study, Duncan Forgan, a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews, told NewsWeek: \u2018I think the average size calculation is reasonable\u2019.

Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said Nigel Farage had 'a problem with race' following his remarks last about 'fully black' and 'half black' Ukip supporters . The row started after a group of far-Right supporters calling themselves the East Kent English Patriots supported Mr Farage at an event in Broadstairs on Friday evening. They were led by Gary Field, a former regional organiser for the English Defence League, and enjoyed the protection of Ukip's security teams, which encircled the Broadstairs Pavilion. Mr Field, who has a criminal record for assault, drank beers behind the cordon with fellow members of his group and gestured to onlookers as a crowd waited for Mr Farage's arrival. The Ukip leader moved to disown the far-right campaigners, saying: 'Members of an extremist group today arrived at a Ukip public meeting at the same time as a Mail on Sunday camera arrives.' But Labour's Mr Umunna, whose father was born in Nigeria, accused Ukip of whipping up 'anti-immigration sentiment'. Mr Umunna said: 'The likes of Ukip don't like what modern Britain is. They claim to love Britain, but they hate modern Britain. If I'm wrong about that why do we see a stream of invective directed at different groups in society from their candidates and their members?

Responding to these remarks, Mr Umunna said: 'I just think the guy's got a problem with race. I'm just saying what I think. 'As a party they've got a problem with race.

+{"article": "The belief that the most popular antidepressant drugs raise serotonin levels in the brain is nothing more than a myth, a leading professor of psychiatry has claimed. David Healy, head of psychiatry at the Hergest psychiatric unit in Bangor, North Wales, said the misconception that low levels of serotonin were responsible for depression had become established fact. He suggested that the success of so-called SSRI drugs \u2013 which include Prozac and Seroxat \u2013 was based on the \u2018marketing of a myth\u2019. Scroll down for video . The idea that the most popular antidepressant drugs raise serotonin levels in the brain is nothing more than a myth, psychiatrist Professor David Healy argues. Pictured is Prozac, one commonly prescribed SSRI . The emergence of these serotonin reuptake inhibiting (SSRI) drugs in the late 1980s came after concerns about tranquilliser use to treat depression. Even though they were weaker than old-style tricyclic antidepressants, they took off because of the idea that SSRIs restored serotonin levels to normal, \u2018a notion that later transmuted into the idea that they remedied a chemical imbalance\u2019. In an editorial in the BMJ, Professor Healy said that in the 1990s, no one knew if SSRIs raised or lowered serotonin levels but there was no evidence that treatment corrected anything. He said: \u2018For doctors it provided an easy short hand for communication with patients. \u2018For patients, the idea of correcting an abnormality has a moral force that can be expected to overcome the scruples some might have had about taking a tranquilliser, especially when packaged in the appealing form that distress is not a weakness.\u2019 However, other psychiatrists have refuted the professor\u2019s claims, saying the profession has moved on from a simplistic description of the pills correcting a chemical imbalance. They warned the controversy might harm depressed patients if they were deterred from taking the drugs, which had been proved to work in trials and the \u2018real world\u2019. Depression should be re-defined as an infectious disease rather than an emotional disorder, argues one scientist. The condition could result from a parasitic, bacterial or viral infection and future research into the condition should search for these micro-organisms, argues Dr. Turhan Canli, of Stony Brook University, U.S. If his theory is true, he hopes a vaccination to protect against depression could be developed in future. Writing in the journal Biology of Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Dr Canli said: 'It is time for an entirely different approach. 'Instead of conceptualising major depression as an emotional disorder, I suggest to re-conceptualise it as some form of an infectious disease. 'I propose that future research should conduct a concerted search for parasites, bacteria, or viruses that may play a causal role in the etiology of major depression.' Professor Sir Simon Wessely, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said: \u2018That antidepressants are helpful in depression, together with psychological treatments, is established. How they do this is not. \u2018Most researchers have long since moved on from the old serotonin model. \u2018Most important of all, SSRIs are safer if taken in overdose than the older tricyclics. \u2018People should not", "summary": "David Healy is head of psychiatry at the Hergest psychiatry unit in Bangor .

May Pat Christie, 51, a managing director at New York City finance firm Angelo Gordon & Co, ditched her $475,000-a-year position this week, a family spokesman confirmed. The official reason for the resignation was 'to spend more time with her family and young children'. But many will see the move as a sign that New Jersey governor Christie, 52, is coming closer to seeking the Republican nomination for the 2016 presidential election. Scroll down for video . Ditching Wall Street: Mary Pat Christie, right, has quit her $475,000-a-year position at finance firm Angelo Gordon & Co . According to Fox Business, she had previously told colleagues that her leaving would be a precursor to her husband's run. She is often seen out on the campaign trail with Christie, making a recent appearance in New Hampshire - a necessary stop for would-be presidents. Earlier this month the Christies said they were undecided about what Mary Pat should do with her job, and seemed to downplay the chances of her quitting. Christie said then that leaving a career would be 'a big sacrifice for a spouse to make', and that it also 'wouldn't be a requirement', even if he did run for president. More of this? The move is likely a precursor to Christie's bid for president - which would entail a lot of campaigning from Mrs Christie, pictured above with her husband in New Hampshire . Her decision mirrors that of another Wall Street Republican spouse - Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi.

An extremist Islamist group with a 'big UK support base' has joined forces with al-Qaeda in Syria, according to reports. Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) has reportedly attacked civil activists in Aleppo alongside local al-Qaeda franchise Nusra Front, the Times has revealed. Several British men linked to ISIS, including Mohammed 'Jihadi John' Emwazi, are known to have been in contact with the group while studying at UK universities. Maajid Nawaz, the Liberal Democrats' Parliamentary candidate which the Daily Mail revealed to have been trying to touch a naked lap dancer at an East London strip club, was a member of HT for 13 years and jailed in Egypt for his commitment to the group. A spokesman for Nawaz said he denied touching the dancer \u2018inappropriately\u2019 and that the visit to the strip club was part of his stag night. One week ago, around 100 HT members, one armed with a sword, attacked activists in eastern Aleppo during an anti-regime demonstration, The Times reports. A photograph from the demonstration seen by the newspaper allegedly shows 'HT members confronting activists, while balaclava-wearing fighters from the Nusra Front stand guard'. A spokesperson for Hizb ut-Tahrir in the UK denied any involvement with the Nusra Front and al-Qaeda in Syria. Hizb ut-Tahrir (Arabic for Party of Liberation) is an international Muslim organisation which, like ISIS, advocates a single Islamic state, or caliphate, in the Middle East under Islamic law. The group is banned in many Middle East countries and also in Russia, Turkey, Pakistan and Germany but not in Australia, the US or UK. During his 2010 election campaign, David Cameron promised to ban the group, whose UK branch was founded in 1986, but the organisation is still alive and well in Britain. Hizb ut-Tahrir has been known to recruit members at British universities and evidence emerged earlier this year showing the group may have been involved in the radicalisation of ISIS executioner Mohammad Emwazi.

The senior Tory said Nigel Farage is 'not my cup of tea' and would question whether she was 'happy to serve' with the Ukip leader.

Scroll down for video . Education Secretary Nicky Morgan signalled she would quit the Cabinet if the Tories entered a power-sharing deal with Ukip . Mr Farage sparked controversy last week when he used a televised leaders' debate to target people with HIV coming to Britain. The Ukip leader was greeted with silence in the hall when he said during the debate about the NHS that of the 7,000 diagnosed with HIV, 60 per cent were born abroad. After saying this was something the other leaders would be 'mortified that I dare to even talk about it', he said: 'You can come to Britain from anywhere in the world and get diagnosed with HIV and get the retroviral drugs that cost up to \u00a325,000 per year per patient. 'I know there are some horrible things happening in many parts of the world, but what we need is to put the National Health Service there for the British people and families who have paid into this system for decades.' It later emerged the comments were pre-planned in what Ukip insiders called a 'shock and awful' strategy. In an interview with The Times, Mrs Morgan condemned the remarks. She said: 'To say that in a calculated way to appeal to your core vote is pretty stomach-turning.' She added it is a 'legitimate question' to ask senior Tories about the make-up of future coalitions, if as the polls suggest no party gets an overall majority. Ukip leader Nigel Farage, who spent today on a boat in Grimsby with reality TV star Joey Essex, has said he is not seeking ministerial office in a coalition. But Mrs Morgan suggested she would not be willing to sit around the Cabinet table with Ukip: 'I can give you the answer which is that we are not talking about anything but a majority government. 'But I think if we end up in coalition discussion territory people will have to ask themselves who they are happy to serve with. 'It is difficult envisaging what might happen but Nigel Farage is not my cup of tea.' Mr Farage, who spent today on a boat in Grimsby with reality TV star Joey Essex, has said he is not seeking ministerial office in a coalition. But he would demand a referendum on Britain leaving the EU as the price for Ukip MPs supporting a Tory minority government.

+{"article": "The family of one ANZAC veteran were thrilled to receive news from a stranger this week that their relative's war medal had been unearthed in an east Melbourne Park. Fossicker Ashley Manzie was combing the park with his metal detector when he discovered a medal belonging to Frederick George Biddulph, who served with the 23rd Australian Infantry Battalion at Gallipolli between 1914 and 1915. Mr Manzie posted photos of the silver medal to an online fossicking forum, which led him to Sydney man Stephen Norton - Biddulph's great-nephew. 'At first I thought it was a scam or someone trying to sell me something,' Mr Norton told Daily Mail Australia. 'I just couldn't believe it - I thought wow - and then I was really confused.' Rare find: Ashley Manzie unearthed the WW1 star medal when he was combing a Melbourne park with his metal detector last week. Mr Norton, who has been researching his family history for 'a very long time' says the discovery has raised more questions than it has answered. He thinks the inscribed medal doesn't belong to Frederick at all, but to his brother Lewis William Biddulph. 'Frederick never went to war. He'd lost two fingers blowing up fish so he wouldn't have been accepted to fight,' said Mr Norton. 'We think his younger brother Lewis, who had a slight hearing problem, may have used his name to sign up.' It means that a grave in Melbourne's Springvale Cemetery bearing a plaque with Frederick's name is probably not his either. Instead, it records the date of Lewis's death, or 'Bunny' as he was called in the family 'because he was so fast.' Norton recently discovered that Frederick had actually died nine years before 'Bunny' in New Zealand. Frederick Biddulph's plaque at Melbourne's Springvale cemetery probably belongs to his brother Lewis, who joined the army in his name because he had poor hearing . Frederick Biddulph (left) pictured with Stephen Norton's grandfather, Thomas Driscoll, and another brother, Bill . Stephen Norton says tracing the family history has been difficult because it seems the men changed their names a number of times in order to get into the service. He says the only thing he knows for sure is that there were three brothers who went off to WW1 from Tasmania - and that they all came back alive. The other brothers were Benjamin William, who was awarded the Gallipoli Medal, and David Tasman. According to national records, the 23rd Battalion with which Bunny served landed at Anzac cove in September 1914. The troops manned Lone Pine, 'one of the most trying parts of the Anzac frontline' until they left Gallipoli in December 1915. Norton says his own grandfather - Bunny's brother - fought in the Battle of Fromelles in France. 'He was a machine-gunner who was caught on the wire and spent years as a Prisoner of War in Germany before making it back to Australia,' Norton says. 'Somehow they all made it home.'

Justin, 39, discovered his kidneys were failing before the birth of their son and he now spends about four hours a day, three days a week undergoing dialysis, Mrs Griner told ABC News.

+{"article": "Obese workers are 'lazy' and 'unable to fulfil their roles' and as a result are less likely to be hired, a new survey has revealed. Almost half of 1,000 British companies questioned said they are less inclined to recruit an applicant after interview if they are obese or overweight. Among the reasons given were that overweight workers 'are unable to play a full role in the business', 'they're lazy', and 'they wouldn't be able to do the job required', the research shows. Beverley Sunderland, managing director, at Crosslands Employment Solicitors, who commissioned the research, said: 'Our research shows that prejudiced attitudes towards hiring obese workers are rife among British employers.' A survey of 1,000 British companies revealed almost half are less inclined to recruit an obese applicant, fearing 'they're lazy', and 'unable to fulfil their roles as required', because of their weight . The findings come in the wake of a European court case brought by unions and lawyers on behalf of 25st childminder Karsten Kaltoft, 50, who claimed he was sacked by his local authority in Denmark in 2010 for being too fat. In December European judges ruled that obesity qualified as a disability if it 'hinders the full and effective participation of the person... on an equal basis with other workers', when doing their job. Body Mass Index, calculated from a person's weight and height, is accepted as a reliable indicator of obesity. According to the World Health Organisation, the ideal BMI for most adults is between 18.5 and 24.9. If a person's BMI is 25 to 29.9, they are classed as overweight. At between 30 and 39.9 they are obese and 40 or over is very \u2013 or morbidly \u2013 obese. Doctors say being overweight or obese can increase the risk of health problems, including heart disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. Earlier this year the European Court of Justice's advocate general, Niilo Jaaskinen, who advises the court, suggested that very severe obesity \u2013 classified as a BMI of more than 40 \u2013 could be considered a disability. But yesterday's ruling does not state what level of obesity would be classed as 'disabled'. It stated: 'It is for the national court to determine whether [an individual's] obesity falls within the definition of 'disability'.' Ms Sunderland said following the case, 'it appears on the face of it that the odds are against you getting a job if you are overweight'. 'But the law is on your side, as discrimination law warns against making \"stereotypical assumptions\" at every stage of the recruitment process and this applies to both existing employees, or people applying for a job,' she added. Given the ruling at the European Courts of Justice, employers now have to find way to accommodate obese workers who fall within this definition of 'disability', while larger job applicants need to ensure they are not discriminated against, Ms Sunderland said. Critics at the time warned it could encourage the overweight to avoid slimming down in the hope of securing a payout. Companies could also face millions of pounds of costs", "summary": "Survey of 1,000 firms showed half are less inclined to recruit obese people .

Not yet, anyway. Given that he has more than two years left on his existing one, that is hardly a heinous act or a trigger for angst. He wants to wait to the end of the season, he says. So let him. He gave an interview to the BBC that he had not cleared with the club. Not particularly clever, admittedly. And, yes, the reference to being \u2018flattered\u2019 by Arsenal\u2019s interest, particularly coming a couple of days before the clash between the two teams at the Emirates, was na\u00efve. But the content of what he said was hardly incendiary. It amounted to a softly-spoken plea for time and space. Sterling is not the kind of person to shout the odds. Maybe he wants a little while to make up his mind. That\u2019s not what Liverpool fans want to hear but it happens. It\u2019s life. People consider their options. It\u2019s their right. For what it\u2019s worth, I hope Sterling stays at Anfield. I hope that sooner or later, he signs that new contract, or perhaps an improved version of it. At this stage of his career, leaving Liverpool is fraught with unnecessary risks. Liverpool are a great club and they are on the rise again. They are staffed by good, intelligent, forward-thinking football people. And I can\u2019t think of any better manager than Brendan Rodgers under whom Sterling should continue the process of maturing into one of Europe\u2019s best players.

+{"article": "An investigation spanning almost three years into the yearly cost of gun violence covered by U.S. taxpayers has determined the figure to be over $229 billion. The new study, by independent political magazine Mother Jones, was spawned by the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado, in July 2012 during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight rises, in which 12 people were killed and 70 injured. The magazine says it set out to determine the amount of money the survivors and victims' families from that one incident would need, based on medical expenses, lost wages, court costs, therapy and impact on quality of life. The legal proceedings alone cost $5.5 million before the trial of the shooter, James Eagan Holmes, had even started. Shocking: A new report into the annual economic toll of gun violence in the US determined that taxpayers fork out $229 billion annually because of shootings, which is more than $700 per person. That figure is more than Apple's annual revenue of $174 billion and the cost of the obesity epidemic, which is $224 billion . The investigation subsequently expanded to account for all the victims of gun-related violence in the U.S. based on yearly figures from 2012. At least 750,000 Americans have been injured by guns over the last 10 years. While gun-related deaths seem to be decreasing, with 33,000 each year, gun-related violence is increasing, with 80,000 injured in 2012. Mother Jones reported the rise of gun-related violence to be up 11 percent since 2011. Despite this increase, no studies have been undertaken to document the cost to society that such shootings demand. Last month, a team doctors noted in the Annals of Internal Medicine that the issue is 'a public health crisis'. The medical journal also noted that such studies have been avoided because of the influence that the National Rifle Association and other pro-gun groups have on political leaders. The Annals of Internal Medicine called this 'suppression of science'. Gun violence: Although homicides are on the decline across the US, Mother Jones found 80,000 people were injured by guns in 2012. The yearly cost to send someone to prison for gun-related homicide is $414,000 . Mother Jones added: 'Political forces had effectively banned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other scientific agencies from funding research on gun-related injury and death. The ban worked: A recent systematic review of studies evaluating access to guns and its association with suicide and homicide identified no relevant studies published since 2005.' To set about its own study, Mother Jones enlisted Ted Miller at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. Miller had undertaken similar investigations since the 1980s. They identified two major costs stemming from gun-related violence: direct and indirect. Direct costs referred to the expenses of someone actually being shot, from emergency service, to police investigations and medical bills, as well as court and prison costs for the assailant. Taxpayers account for about 87 percent of the direct costs involved in gun-related violence, Mother Jones reported. Based on Miller's findings and the 2012 data, it was determined", "summary": "Investigation by Mother Jones said gun violence costs $700 per American each year, with a total of $229 billion .

Michael Gridley, 26, was jailed after running the scam where stock including alcohol, cigarettes, DVDs, computer games and consoles were taken from the store in Basildon, Essex, where he worked.

Reed was deemed to have been in a position of trust and responsibility in the criminal enterprise, but Recorder Gerard Pounder said he had a lesser role than Gridley, 26, and Munyard even less so.

+{"article": "The country\u2019s biggest food bank organisation yesterday claimed the number of people claiming free meal packages from its branches passed a million last year. The figures from the Trussell Trust were seized on by Labour and the TUC as \u2018shocking\u2019 evidence that millions need emergency food because of low pay, the so-called bedroom tax, and stopped benefits. But Tory benefits chief Iain Duncan Smith questioned the numbers, which he said were \u2018unverified\u2019, and insisted that the best way to help families was to get people into work. The Trussel Trust claimed that 1 million people are being fed from food banks such as this one in Glasgow . Another independent food bank organisation warned that such figures could be misleading because food banks are a new phenomenon and should not be used as a \u2018political football\u2019. The row comes amid growing controversy over the spread of food banks \u2013 said by supporters to show that hunger is commonplace and need overwhelming, and by critics to show that when free food is handed out, people will always come forward to take it. Yesterday\u2019s report from the Trust put the number of people who were given three days\u2019 worth of food at one of its 445 branches in the past financial year at 1,084,604. Its UK director Adrian Curtis said: \u2018Despite welcome signs of economic recovery, hunger continues to affect significant numbers of men, women and children. The latest figures highlight how vital it is that we all work to prevent and relieve hunger in the UK.\u2019 The latest figures show a slowdown in the numbers visiting food banks, with a rise of under 100,000 in numbers recorded since 2013-14, when there were 913,138 food bank visits. Iain Duncan Smith, pictured, dismissed the suggestion claims suggesting that the Trussell Trust's figures are 'unverified' This figure was almost three times the 2012-13 level of 346,992. In 2009-10 the Trust recorded 40,898 food bank visits. The claims have been disputed because the Trussell Trust counts numbers of food bank visits in which people are given three-day food packages, and not numbers of individuals. This means an unknown number make repeat visits, and some analysts say the real total of people who went to food banks may be closer to half a million. Research carried out by the Trust, Oxfam, the Church of England and other charities last year also found that low pay is only a minor reason for people going to get aide from food banks. It found that more than four out of five users live on state benefits and only one out of 40 users questioned was working on a zero hours contract. A chorus of political leaders and charities lined up to criticise David Cameron over the figures. Labour\u2019s work and pensions spokesman Rachel Reeves said: \u2018The shocking rise in the number of people relying on Trussell Trust food banks since 2010 shows the Tory plan is failing. \u2018David Cameron\u2019s failure to tackle low pay, the bedroom tax and delays in benefit payments have led to over a million people depending on", "summary": "The Trussell Trust counted the number of people visiting its 445 branches .

The UN's rights chief has urged Britain to crack down on tabloid newspapers inciting racial hatred after a columnist for The Sun called migrants 'cockroaches'. In a hard-hitting statement, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Husein said Katie Hopkins had used language similar to that employed by some Rwandan media outlets in the run-up to the 1994 genocide, and by the Nazis in the 1930s. He said the April 17 article in the newspaper was reflective of a 'nasty underbelly of racism that is characterising the migration debate in an increasing number of EU countries'. This was also 'sapping compassion for the thousands of people fleeing conflict, human rights violations and economic deprivation who are drowning in the Mediterranean,' he said. The article came as migrant boat tragedies in the Mediterranean escalated. Already, more than 1,750 people have died this year making the perilous sea crossing to try to reach Europe - 30 times higher than the same period in 2014. Zeid asked British authorities, media, and regulatory bodies to take immediate steps to stop racial and inflammatory articles. 'This vicious verbal assault on migrants and asylum seekers in the UK tabloid press has continued unchallenged under the law for far too long,' he said. 'The Sun's editors took an editorial decision to publish this article, and - if it is found in breach of the law - should be held responsible along with the author.' The high commissioner said the Hopkins piece was 'simply one of the more extreme examples of thousands of anti-foreigner articles that have appeared in UK tabloids over the past two decades.'

'It is extraordinary and deeply shameful to see these types of tactics being used in a variety of countries, simply because racism and xenophobia are so easy to arouse in order to win votes or sell newspapers.' The columnist also said Europe should adopt a hardline approach to clandestine immigration like Australia by using navy ships to turn back boats carrying asylum seekers.

The Daily Mirror published sensational pictures of the Hatton Garden raiders 21 hours before Scotland Yard released them in a bid to appeal for information about identities of the thieves. The tabloid claims it handed the images to police, who were 'delighted', according to a report today in its sister title The Sunday Mirror, with an apparent source saying it 'blows the case wide open'. But yesterday afternoon detectives insisted they already had the CCTV footage, which they claim was recovered 'at the earliest opportunity'. Pictured: The Met has released images of three of the gang which broke into Hatton Garden over the Easter weekend - but has only done so after the shots were revealed by the Daily Mirror . Audacious: Exactly why the police did not release the images beforehand is unclear - especially as the tabloid's sister paper The Sunday Mirror claims they are the key to 'cracking the case wide open' This is in stark contrast with the response given to MailOnline hours before, when police refused to say whether they had the footage. The Met finally released the pictures late on Saturday afternoon, while The Mirror could sell the images to a number of other national titles, including this website. Up until that point, no other newspaper was able to help the police trace the culprits of what could be the biggest ever robbery in Britain. It raises questions about why the police chose to keep them to themselves - or whether they even had the footage. Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme this morning, former Flying Squad chief John O'Connor said: 'I've never heard of anything like this. 'I'm not blaming The Mirror, but I am pointing some quite accusing fingers at the police for not finding it themselves.'

It is likely to put further pressure on an investigation which has already been accused of a number of failings.

+{"article": "Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has been handed the backing of five former England managers as he bids to push through radical changes. Dyke wants to increase the minimum number of home-grown players in club squads from eight to 12, however he is facing opposition from the Premier League. The proposals also include changing the rules so that 'home-grown' means having trained in England for three years before the age of 18 rather than before 21. FA chairman Greg Dyke (left), speaking with Premier League chief Richard Scudamore, wants to increase the number of homegrown players at top flight clubs . Graham Taylor, Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan, Sven-Goran Eriksson and Steve McClaren have signed a letter addressed to Dyke, the Daily Telegraph reports. According to the newspaper, the five former Three Lions bosses warn the English game will suffer if it blocks the proposals from Dyke and the FA's England Commission. 'We urge everyone in the English game to get behind them as quickly as possible,' the letter reportedly says. It adds: 'Failure to do so risks England falling further behind the leading football nations and will only make it harder to end the long wait to win the World Cup.' Former England managers (clockwise) Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan, Steve McClaren and Sven-Goran Eriksson have backed Dyke's call . Only 81 of the 220 Premier League starters in the last round of matches were eligible for England selection - a fairly pitiful 36.8 per cent. The managers add: 'There are many reasons why England has failed to win any major honours since 1966 and each of us bears a portion of that responsibility. 'However, as the England Commission's evidence has demonstrated, the pool of English talent playing at the very top level is shrinking and it's an undeniable fact that this is a clear disadvantage for any England manager.' The rise of Harry Kane (centre) proves that England can bring through talented youngsters . A draw for England in Italy on Tuesday was a respectable result, and Roy Hodgson's team have encountered no trouble in their Euro 2016 qualifying group to date, winning all five of their matches. There are signs of encouragement with the emergence of a new generation of young players, the former England bosses reason. 'With promising players such as (Ross) Barkley, (Raheem) Sterling and (Harry) Kane starting to break through, it is clear we can still produce top young talent,' they write.

Certainly the comments of the ECB\u2019s outspoken new chairman were not looking very accurate when England\u2019s new top three had all succumbed to a West Indies pace attack seemingly inspired by bowling coach Curtly Ambrose. That England averted disaster was down to their middle order. Ian Bell, with his 22nd Test century, Joe Root and, thrillingly, the rejuvenated Ben Stokes had restored order in this crucial first Test. Tony Cozier, the most respected of Caribbean broadcasters, had said ahead of this series that Graves\u2019 words might well inspire the home side, just as Greig did all those years ago in 1976 when West Indies were approaching their peak. And it looked that way when the West Indies pace trio of Jerome Taylor, Kemar Roach and Jason Holder had all bowled with a discipline and skill in the opening session worthy of their great mentor Ambrose himself. The last time England played a Test at the Sir Viv Richards Stadium, in 2009, it was abandoned after 10 balls because of an unplayable outfield, and for a while it looked like West Indies were going to kick sand in their faces again.

Yet a slightly altered technique that worked so well against hapless St Kitts last week did not pass its examination against a much better attack here, notably Roach, who took advantage of Cook\u2019s old failing against the full ball. By that stage the remarkable comeback of Jonathan Trott, making his 50th Test appearance 18 months after his traumatic 49th, had been nipped in the bud in the first over of the day when he fended his third ball to slip.

The equipment was found purely by chance in April last year after a fire at a block of flats in the Muirhouse area of Edinburgh. Firefighters, who were responding to a 999 call over a fire within a rubbish chute on the 11th floor, had forced entry to a flat registered to Al-Khori and found jars containing various powders.

According to the spokeswoman for the federal receiver, who controls California prison medical care, the surgery could cost taxpayers as much as $100,000. U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco ruled that denying sex reassignment surgery to 51-year-old Michelle-Lael Norsworthy violates her constitutional rights. Right to be a woman: U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco ruled that denying sex reassignment surgery to Michelle-Lael Norsworthy, 51, pictured last year, violates her constitutional rights . Her birth name is Jeffrey Bryan Norsworthy. Norsworthy has been in prison since 1987, serving a life sentence for second-degree murder. She has twice delayed her scheduled parole hearings in recent months. The ruling says it would be the second time nationwide that such a surgery has been performed on an inmate, an apparent reference to an inmate who castrated himself in Texas then was given the surgery out of necessity. Norsworthy has lived as a woman since the 1990s and has what Tigar termed severe gender dysphoria. 'The weight of the evidence demonstrates that for Norsworthy, the only adequate medical treatment for her gender dysphoria is SRS,' Tigar wrote, referring to sex reassignment surgery. He found that the decision by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to deny the procedure was medically unacceptable under the circumstances. Corrections officials said they are considering whether to appeal the ruling. Attorneys for Norsworthy did immediately comment. Paid surgery: Michelle-Lael Norsworthy has been living as a woman since the 1990s and her birth name is Jeffrey Bryan Norsworthy. 'This would be a first for California, said Joyce Hayhoe, a spokeswoman for the federal receiver who controls California prison medical care. The cost to taxpayers for such surgery is uncertain, she said. 'It's several tens of thousands of dollars, possibly close to $100,000, depending on the circumstances.

Mohammed Suleman Khan, 43, was sent to prison for four years last April after defrauding the taxman of \u00a3450,000. His nine-year scam was exposed after police raided his Birmingham home and discovered plans for his own mansion in Pakistan, complete with library, cinema and servant quarters. Serving inmate Khan faced a proceeds of crime hearing at Liverpool Crown Court last week and was ordered to pay \u00a32.2million within six months. If he fails to hand over the cash he faces a further ten years in prison. The tax fraudster had contested the order, brought by West Midlands Police and prosecuted at court by Andrew Smith QC. Judge Andrew Menary QC presided over the week-long case, which heard details of Khan's complicated financial affairs. The original tax fraud court case heard how he had lived in a gated \u00a3500,000 house in Moseley and drove a BMW, but had no obvious job.

Lapointe confessed to raping, strangling and stabbing 88-year-old Bernice Martin at her Manchester apartment in 1989 and was sentenced in 1992 to life in prison without parole. Lapointe's lawyer and supporters said the evidence showed he could not have committed the crimes and his mental disability made him vulnerable to giving a false confession. His case became a cause celebre, receiving widespread publicity as advocates for the mentally disabled and other supporters - including writers Arthur Miller and William Styron - rallied to prove his innocence. Finally, last month the state Supreme Court ruled that Lapointe was deprived of a fair trial because prosecutors failed to disclose notes by a police officer that may have supported an alibi defense. The former inmate was photographed walking out of the hearing alongside his attorney and another supporter with his weakly arms raised in the air . In lieu of his prison jumpsuit, Lapointe opted for a dark T-shirt over a dress shirt emblazoned with the words 'I didn't do it'. The decision upheld an earlier ruling by the state Appellate Court, which in 2012 overturned Lapointe's convictions for capital felony murder, sexual assault and other crimes. The court ruled that Lapointe be released or given a new trial. Murder charges have been refiled but the prosecutor, Gail Hardy, said the state needs to review the evidence before deciding whether it can go forward with another trial.

+{"article": "There are few things more beautiful - or terrifying - than the menacing flash of lightning bolts within a volcanic ash cloud. The latests picture, captured by an amateur photographer as the Colima volcano in Mexico spews out a plume of ash and lava, reveals the raw power of a volcanic eruption. Hernando Rivera Cervantes took the pictures as local authorities warned those living around the volcano, which is also known as the Fire volcano, to prepare for a possible evacuation. Lightning strikes inside the enormous ash cloud thrown into the air by the Colima volcano (above) in Mexico . The 12,400 feet (3,800 metre) high volcano, which first erupted in 1576, is one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico. Mr Cervantes spent eight hours watching the volcano as it threw ash up to 1.8 miles (three kilometres) into the atmosphere before managing to capture the rare picture. He said: 'I waited for eight hours, knowing something was going to happen. When the lightning arrived it was magical. An unforgettable experience.' These blots of lightning are thought to occur due to the build up of electric charge in the ash cloud as the particles rub against each other. Just like in a thunder cloud, this charge eventually builds up until it seeks a path through to the ground as lightning. This sequence of images captured by photographer Hernando Rivera Cervantes show the lightning flashes as the Colima volcano erupted . Mr Cervantes also managed to capture this night-time image above of lava spilling from the erupting volcano . Small volcanic eruptions over the past 20 years have been protecting the Earth from global warming, according to a recent study. Scientists have confirmed that droplets of sulphur-rich aerosols spewed into the upper atmosphere by volcanoes have been reflecting sunlight away from the Earth. Until recently it was thought that only particularly large eruptions had any noticeable affect on the climate. However, a study published earlier this year has confirmed results from the end of last year that showed these small eruptions can have an accumulative impact on global temperature. This could have helped decrease the global temperatures by between 0.05\u00b0C to 0.12\u00b0C over the past 15 years. Earlier this month scientists discovered that it is this lightning that is responsible for making the glass spheres that can appear in volcanic rocks. They found that the intense heat generated by the lightning bolts causes the ash to melt into spherules of smooth glass. A bolt of volcanic lighting can heat the surrounding air to more than 3,000\u00b0C, according to the researchers from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Dr Kimberly Genareau, a volcanologist at the University of Alabama, said their findings suggested that the role lightning plays in volcanic eruptions may be under reported. Writing in the journal Geology, she said: 'We refer to this new morphological classification of ash grains as lightning-induced volcanic spherules (LIVS). 'Observation of LIVS in tephras (volcanic rocks) will provide evidence of lightning occurrence during eruptions where lightning was not directly observed or documented.'

A thug who repeatedly attacked his girlfriend and dragged her by the hair has been spared jail after a judge told him he was 'almost too dangerous' for prison. Samuel Tushingham dragged his partner out of bed, slapped her around the head and threw a toaster at her, a court was told. District judge Bridget Knight described the 26-year-old as a 'caveman' - but despite this ordered him to go on a relationship course instead of sentencing him to jail. After a trial at Halton Magistrates' Court, she told him: 'You acted like a caveman, dragging the victim by her hair and assaulting her over a period of months between April and September. 'You are almost too dangerous for me to send you to prison because you need work done on you.

He must also carry out 80 hours of unpaid work and pay more than \u00a31,300 in costs and fines, and is banned from contacting his victim. The judge who spared him jail previously told footballer Carlos Tevez it would be 'overly punitive' for him to hand over his \u00a355,000 Porsche after he was convicted of a driving offence, and fined him \u00a33,000 instead. Ms Knight also made headlines when she criticised Coronation Street star Barbara Knox for wasting court time by pleading not guilty to drink-driving and then admitting the offence at the last minute. Tushingham pleaded guilty to one charge of assault by beating, which took place in April last year when he kicked his then-partner in the thigh, causing a large bruise and knocking her off her feet at her home in Warrington, Cheshire. He was found guilty of another three assault charges which took place later in 2014.

The striking photographs show a shoal of fish making way for the blacktip shark swimming in the shallow waters of Heron Island in Queensland, Australia. Incredible images show a shoal of fish making way for a blacktip shark (pictured), perhaps proving that they are instinctively frightened of it . It is thought that the reef shark was not interested in catching a meal, but the fish naturally keep their distance, creating circles of clear water around the predator. Dr Ken Collins, Senior Research Fellow and Diving Officer at the University of Southampton, told MailOnline: 'This is fairly typical behaviour for shoaling fish, the same would happen if it were a diver in the photograph rather than a shark. 'Something big is automatically accepted as a potential threat and swimming in a swirling dense shoal is a defensive move which provides mutual protection simply reducing the chances of an individual being picked off and confusing the potential \u201cenemy\". 'Flocks of small birds will react the same way to hawks.' Fish are thought to gain many benefits from shoaling behaviour, such as keeping safe from predators as well as boosting their chances of feeding and finding a mate.

He was also fined $100,000 - more than double the $40,000 his attorneys had requested.

A pioneering facial surgeon \u2018repeatedly\u2019 punched a patient in the head in an \u2018extraordinary\u2019 attempt to correct a fracture caused by an industrial accident, a medical tribunal has heard. Professor Ninian Peckitt, 63, claimed he had simply \u2018digitally manipulated\u2019 the patient\u2019s face as part of hospital treatment, but witnesses said that in reality he had actually been hitting him, the tribunal was told. The world-renowned surgeon, who has lectured on the use of titanium implants to treat disfigured patients and has been published in academic texts, faces being struck off the medical register after being accused of failing three of his patients. A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service hearing in Manchester was told a man referred to as Patient A had suffered \u2018extensive injuries\u2019 to the right side of his face in an industrial accident. He was admitted to Ipswich Hospital in February 2012 where Professor Peckitt was working as an honorary locum consultant in oral and maxillo-facial surgery since the previous month. Christopher Hamlet, representing the General Medical Council, told the hearing: \u2018The case is not centred around the outcome, but the method of the surgery by way of the extraordinary allegation that he repeatedly punched the patient in the face.\u2019 He added that Patient A had fallen out of bed which had further displaced his facial fractures. The hearing was told Professor Peckitt embarked on a \u2018closed reduction\u2019 procedure, in which a patient is given anaesthetic before the fractured bone is manually put back together without surgery, and a cast or splint applied. Mr Peckitt was working as an honorary locum at Ipswich Hospital in Suffolk at the time of the alleged incident in February 2012. A medical tribunal will decide whether he should be struck off the register . Professor Peckitt, formerly of Doncaster, later described the procedure as one in which the patient\u2019s face had been \u2018digitally manipulated as best they could be achieved\u2019, the hearing heard. It was also alleged he treated Patient A without seeking advice from colleagues. He quit his post at the hospital days later. He was also alleged to have failed to check the medical records of a second patient, Patient B, which led to him attempting an unnecessary procedure on her, and to have treated another, Patient C, for a complex facial deformity without seeking the advice of another surgeon. Professor Peckitt, who is now working in Dubai, has submitted emails in which he \u2018emphatically denies\u2019 the allegations, and claims he has been \u2018victimised\u2019. \u2018In relation to Patient A, he says they simply didn\u2019t see any punching,\u2019 Mr Hamlet said. Dr Timothy Mellor, an expert called for the GMC, prepared a report. \u2018He confirmed it is entirely inappropriate to try to reduce a fracture with external force alone or whether the punch was additional manipulation \u2013 there is no basis you can reduce a fracture in that nature,\u2019 Mr Hamlet said.

After a heavy night of drinking, your immune system is bound to be weaker. Now, for the first time, researchers have shown that higher doses of vitamin E found in foods such as kale (left) and almonds, can mitigate the stress on immune cells . Whenever a virus or other pathogen enters our bodies, a certain class of immune cells - the T cells0 jump into action, spreading rapidly. One sub-class of these cells, the CD8+ T cells, eliminate the virus by killing cells it has infected. Other T cells, known as CD4+ T cells, coordinate the immune response to all kinds of pathogens. But a week can pass before these T cells start to take their toll on a virus. And with cells dividing every eight to twelve hours, it takes a few days to gather a strike force of cells in the hundreds of thousands: enough to overwhelm the infection. But this immune response does not work if significant oxidative stress is damaging the T cells and depriving the body of the tools it needs to repair them, according to a new study. A white blood cell, also known as a T cell, carries special structures on its surface with which to recognise specific pathogens . If the immune cells lack repair enzyme Gpx4, the T cells die off as they divide, which means the immune system becomes weak and the infection can be chronic. This is the enzyme responsible for repairing oxidative damage to the cell membrane. Your body constantly reacts with oxygen as you breathe and your cells produce energy. As a consequence of this activity, highly reactive molecules are produced known as free radicals. Free radicals interact with other molecules within cells. This can cause oxidative damage to proteins, membranes and genes. Oxidative damage has been implicated in the cause of many diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer's and has an impact on the body's aging process. External factors, such as pollution, sunlight and smoking, also trigger the production of free radicals. Source: NetDoctor . When testing mice whose immune cells lacked the repair enzyme, researchers led by Manfred Kopf, a professor at ETH Zurich, were able to save the immune cells by mixing a high dose of vitamin E into the animals' food. That was enough antioxidant to protect the T cells' cell membranes from damage, so they could multiply and successfully fend off the viral infection.

Ron Ingraham, 67, spent almost two weeks adrift and surviving on raw fish after getting caught in an enormous storm on Thanksgiving. He eventually managed to radio for help and was rescued - but as of Friday Ingraham is missing again, in potentially even more danger than before. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, his ship ran aground on rocks around a mile west of Hawaii's Lanai island.

Recovery: Pictured above is the sailing boat Ingraham had got lost in, which was towed back to shore by his rescuers . His sailing mate, Kenny Corder, was thrown into the water with him, and the two were clinging to a life ring to survive. Corder, who was rescued and taken to hospital, said that he left Ingraham with the ring to swim backed to the damaged ship and radio for help. By the time he returned, he said, there was no sign of Ingraham - and Coast Guard officials are still looking for him. The Coast Guard notified Ingraham's son in Missouri, Zakary Ingraham, said the son's wife, Katie Jarrett. 'This is absolutely insane,' she said. Long-lost: Pictured above in Ingraham's son, Zakary. The two hadn't spoken in more than 15 years when he went missing the first time . Ingraham and his son had not spoken for years, but news of his improbably rescue in December brought the two back together. He was considered lost after a search triggered by a Mayday message saying he was about to sink did not help authorities track him down. During a routine trip from Molokai island, where he lives, to Lanai, where he often fishes, a huge storm knocked out his engine and pummeled his boat with 20-foot waves. 'I lived off the moisture off the fish I caught,' Ingraham said. 'Mentally, physically and spiritually, I got my butt kicked.'

The 40-year-old former Celebrity Big Brother contestant said the vessels \u2018need pushing back\u2019 and asked listeners to a radio show: \u2018Why do we take on everyone else's problem?\u2019 Miss Hopkins said on LBC yesterday: 'I, for one, believe we should turn back the boats. Personally I would use gunships, I would tow them back to where they came from, and I would make a huge bonfire of all the boats they have - in order that we put a stop to this ridiculous situation that we find ourselves in.' Her comments were labelled 'dangerous', while she was described as a 'manifestation of the culture of toxic hate that is prevalent in the UK'. More than 900 people are feared dead after the fishing boat overturned in the Mediterranean at midnight yesterday in one of the worst maritime disasters since the Second World War ended. And the former Apprentice contestant insisted a 'huge bonfire' should be made from boats in North Africa so they cannot be used again. She added: \u2018If you allow these boats to come that number will grow year on year. When we see these migrants arriving in Italy, they aren't just staying in Italy. \u2018The Italians are more or less okay with these numbers coming, because as soon as they are in Italy they disperse through Europe and then we see them arriving in vast swathes in Calais. The mother-of-three, who was hosting her first radio talk show on the station at 10am, continued: \u2018I do believe these boats need pushing back. We pay an enormous amount towards foreign aid as it is, and I don't think we need to be helping with a rescue programme in the Med as well.\u2019 Today, an Italian coast guard ship brought the bodies of 24 victims to Malta for burial before heading to Sicily with just 28 survivors plucked from the sea after the disaster off Libya. Help: This image from Guardia di Finanza shows an infra-red camera screen shot during an operation to rescue migrants after their shipwreck in Strait of Sicily yesterday. Hundreds were feared drowned today . Coming to the rescue: German shipping company Opielok Offshore Carriers released this picture today showing a boat with refugees close to its cargo ship in the Mediterranean Sea on April 12 . Following the tragedy, politicians and charities attacked EU states for supporting Italy's decision to stop search and rescue missions last year which they blame for such a high number of deaths. But Miss Hopkins - speaking about 90 minutes after news of the disaster first emerged yesterday - said: \u2018Why do we take on everyone else's problem? 'I think at the moment we don't really address immigration as a country.

A new survey has revealed that women regret their career choices more than men. With 47% compared to only 40% of men . According to specialist travel agency Planet Cruise, women regret their career choices more so than men. Just under half (47 per cent) of women aged over 55 expressed disappointment over their decisions, compared to just 40 per cent of men. More alarming is the fact that nearly half of women (47 per cent) surveyed admitted that they have suffered from a mental illness or negative feelings towards their roles. For men, the figure was even higher, with 52 per cent having suffered from mental issues. Furthermore, one in five over-55s surveyed admitted to feelings of depression due to a missed opportunity at work. Similar ranking figures showed that people had also dealt with isolation, or unsociable and distant feelings as a result.

More than a quarter surveyed also revealed that they wished that they had thrown caution to the wind and taken more risks in their careers. Specifically, one in ten admitted that they regretted not being more tenacious with pursuing promotions and being more ambitious in general. Women were also more likely to feel like their relationships had held them back in their careers.

The Boy Scouts' Greater New York Councils said they hired Pascal Tessier, an 18-year-old Eagle Scout who has been a vocal advocate of opening the 105-year-old organization to gay scouts and leaders. Board member Richard G. Mason said the councils see Tessier as 'an exemplary candidate for employment as a camp leader.' Scroll down for video . Boy Scout Pascal Tessier, 18, center left, and his brother Lucien Tessier, 20, who had earned the rank of Eagle Scout, pose for a portrait with their parents, Oliver Tessier, left, and Tracie Felker, at their home. On Thursday the Boy Scouts New York chapter announced it hired Pascal Tessier as the nation's first openly gay Eagle Scout as a summer camp leader . 'We welcome him,' Mason said in a statement. The Boy Scouts of America didn't immediately respond to an inquiry about the hire. The national organization changed its policy in 2013 to allow openly gay kids as scouts, but not adults as leaders, after a bitter debate over its membership policy. The change took effect in January 2014. Advocates for letting gays participate in scouting hailed Tessier's hire. 'This is a watershed moment,' Zach Wahls, executive director of Scouts for Equality, said in a statement. 'We are proud to see such an important Boy Scout council standing up for the full inclusion of gay members.' When the national Boy Scouts began allowing gay boys as scouts, liberal Scout leaders and gay rights groups celebrated the shift but called for allowing gay adults to participate, too. Conservatives involved with the Scouts, including some churches that sponsor troops, decried letting any gays \u2014 including kids \u2014 participate, and some threatened to defect if the ban were lifted. The Boy Scouts of America has said it doesn't \"proactively inquire\" about members' sexual orientation \u2014 in effect, a form of 'don't ask, don't tell.' Tessier's hiring is in contrast to the national scouting organization\u00eds ban on openly gay adult members . But it has expelled adults who were open about it, including a gay troop leader in Seattle who was removed last year after he disclosed his orientation during a TV interview. Regardless, some local Boy Scout councils have let it be known they are open to gay employees, but the New York councils' move presents an unusually acute departure from the national policy. The 103-year-old New York group says it has never denied membership to a youth or adult based on sexual orientation, and it didn't want its policy to be affected by the national group's stance. The New York councils serve over 46,000 scouts.

So it is appropriate that at least two of Cournswood's long-term residents have had strong Bletchley connections. The first was wartime Naval cryptographer and Enigma codebreaker Dillwyn Knox, who bought it in 1921 and lived there until his death in 1943. His funeral was attended by many from Bletchley Park, and a memorial stone to Knox can be found bordering the property.

And the current owner, businesswoman Sharon Constancon, is related to the Leon family who once owned Bletchley Park. 'I only discovered this when I went on a visit to Bletchley Park with my uncle,' says Sharon. 'The Leon family donated the building to the Government in 1937 for use as a code-breaking centre.' While both are in Buckinghamshire, Cournswood House is in the south of the county \u2013 in ten acres of secluded woodlands in the picturesque village of North Dean \u2013 while Bletchley Park is in the town of Bletchley in the north, 20 miles away. During the Second World War at Bletchley Park, Dillwyn Knox led the team that made the first breaks into the code Germany was using, and he encouraged Alan Turing \u2013 the subject of The Imitation Game \u2013 in his work there. Although Knox does not feature in the new movie, he was portrayed by actor Richard Johnson in the 1996 television film Breaking The Code, which starred Derek Jacobi as Turing and Prunella Scales as his wife Sara.

Callum Gribbin was the matchwinner for Manchester United with a delightful free-kick . Ticket prices?

Altrincham's compact 6,000-capacity home may not be Old Trafford, but it does have a proud history of its own. It was certainly a grander stage than a windswept Saturday morning on an outfield at United's Carrington complex, where Paul McGuinness's Under 18s usually ply their trade. The young Reds coach wanted to make the experience closer to what his tyros could expect should they make the step up to the seniors. And his side lined up with three at the back and supporting wingbacks in a formation seen more than once this season in the first team.

He was at it again here, showing nifty footwork on the edge of the box and drawing a foul. After dusting himself down Gribbin stepped up to curl a delightful free-kick around the wall and beyond blonde Joe Hart-a-like Charlie Albinson in the City goal. Moments later it was almost two when full-back Cameron Borthwick-Jackson's rasping 25-yard drive struck the angle of the crossbar and post. The same man looked to have gotten away with one when he appeared to clip Buckley in the box before sub Aaron Nemane hit the side-netting as the visitors looked for an equaliser.

The star batsman will ply his trade for Surrey in a bid to reclaim his spot in the England Test team . And he continues: 'A few wins might have deflected attention from a charge sheet that would include the mishandling of the Kevin Pietersen affair, worrying Test attendances outside London, a head in the sand attitude to the one-day team and - not yet a decade after the 2005 Ashes had presented English cricket with a golden chance to attract a new generation to the sport \u2013 a fall in the number of recreational players.

Experts say the new 6.2 mile-stretch (10 kilometres) means the full range of the Qin Dynasty Great Wall can be traced for the first time. Nine sections of the Wall have been found over the last two months along the inner coast of the Yellow River in Gansu province and the Ningxia region, reported the People's Daily online.

The new stretch, ranging between Jingyuan County and Nanchangtan village, was discovered by a team led by Zhou Xinghua, renowned Great Wall researcher and the former head of Ningxia Museum. Historical documents had suggested that the Emperor Qin ordered for the Great Wall to start in Gansu province and run east into the Ningxia region and Inner Mongolia, but physical evidence in this particular area has never been found until now. Mr Zhou said China's first emperor ordered for the stretch to be built along the Yellow River to stop invaders crossing it when it was frozen. While parts of the Great Wall date back to about 700 BC, the first complete Wall was built during the reign of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang, from about 220 BC after the country had been unified for the first time. The newly discovered section of the wall was constructed using stones and rammed earth, with some parts built on top of the mountain ranges and others running along valleys.

The neurosurgeon, who is in Kathmandu to cover the aftermath of Saturday's deadly earthquake, performed a craniotomy on the 15-year-old girl, Sandhya Chalise, after a wall of her family's home fell on her as she collected water outside. Sandhya, who lives in a more remote area of the country, only reached Kathmandu's Bir Hospital two days after the 7.8-magnitude quake and by that point, blood had collected in the top of her brain, CNN reported. Scroll down for video . Put to work: Dr Sanjay Gupta (second left), the chief medical correspondent for CNN, was asked by a Nepalese hospital to perform brain surgery on a 15-year-girl who was injured in the earthquake . Quick-thinking: Gupta, center at the hospital, said the girl was just one of many people walking through the doors with head injuries at the overstretched hospital. More than 6,000 people were injured . 'I was asked to do this by the doctors there at the hospital,' Dr Gupta said during a telephone interview with the network. 'I think they literally need another set of hands because the demand is so high.' During the procedure, he was forced to used basic equipment, such as a saw rather than an electric drill, and sterile water and iodine from a bottle, rather than a proper scrub sink, he told CNN. Following the operation, she is 'doing well', Gupta said, 'but her story is unfortunately very typical'. After the surgery, an eight-year-old girl arrived at the hospital needing a similar operation. More than 4,300 people are believed to have been killed in the earthquake, but Nepalese officials have speculated that as many as 10,000 could have died. Around 6,000 have been injured and are pouring into the hospitals, which are struggling to keep up with the demand. 'I've seen a lot of situations around the world, and this is as bad as I've ever seen it,' Gupta said. Hurt: Another child with a similar head injury, pictured, came to the hospital shortly after the operation . Helping hand: As well as working for CNN, Gupta is a neurosurgeon at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta . 'They need more resources, they need more personnel here right now, and they're expecting many more patients as these rescue operations go on. They're barely able to keep up right now.' As well as serving as CNN's chief medical correspondent, Gupta is a neurosurgeon at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta. It is not the first time the married father-of-three, 45, has performed surgery while on a reporting job. In 2003, while covering the medical demands of the invasion of Iraq, he performed emergency surgery on U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians. And while reporting in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, he and other doctors removed a piece of concrete from a 12-year-old girl's skull aboard aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson.

The pair came close to agreeing a big-money bout five years ago but it eventually fell through, leaving the boxing world waiting and wondering whether they would ever meet. But after half a decade of speculation, the pair will finally go head-to-head in Las Vegas on May 2 - and Roach believes his man will have the advantage at the MGM Grand. Manny Pacquiao poses with his family and author Nik Vujicic in a photo posted to his Twitter account . Floyd Mayweather continues his training as he prepares to face Pacquiao after years of speculation . Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, believes his man is ready to beat Mayweather in Las Vegas on May 2 . Asked whether the 2010 or 2015 version of Pacquiao would have a better chance of victory against the unbeaten Mayweather, Roach told boxingscene.com: 'That is an interesting question because there are obviously trade-offs between the two versions of Manny. But I am convinced that the 2015 model is the more formidable fighter for a few reasons. 'Back in 2010, Manny was still growing into a welterweight. His first two welterweight fights were against Oscar De La Hoya in 2008 and Miguel Cotto in 2009 where he only weighed 142 and 144 pounds respectively, and in between he dropped down to 138 to fight Ricky Hatton. 'Floyd has been campaining as a welterweight since 2005 and weighed 150 in his fight against De La Hoya so that might have given Floyd an advantage. I still like Manny's chances in that fight but I think the Manny of today has a lot more in his favour. Pacquiao is better equipped to beat Mayweather now than he was in 2010, according to his trainer Roach . Mayweather is looking to extend his 47-fight unbeaten streak when he meets Pacquiao next month . The pair will go head-to-head in a $300million mega-fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 2 . 'In 2010 the two-year age difference between the fighters was not significant to either, but that's not true today. Floyd at 38 is doing things he didn't do in the past. Floyd is a defensive genius but he has always depended on his legs to perform and you can see now that his legs do not have the same spring or fluidness of his earlier years. Mayweather remains the bookmakers' favourite for the $300million mega-fight next month but Roach is adamant that Pacquiao is primed to cause an upset. 'The 2015 version of Manny is more mature, smarter and less reckless than the 2010 version,' said Roach. 'He will be treating the ring like a chess board anticipating Floyd's moves - ready to cut him off and attack every time he creates an opening.

Hazard scored early on in Chelsea's last game, a 3-2 win over Hull City, but the team were pegged back . Hazard is unlikely to get an extended rest any time soon as he returns to Premier League action on Saturday . Belgium captain Vincent Kompany was sent off for a second yellow card within two minutes of Hazard's withdrawal, leaving Belgium clinging on to their slender lead, and Wilmots admitted he may not have substituted his star man had he known his side would be down to 10 men.

Foreskin facials, also known as HydraFacials, are the latest unconventional beauty treatment to be hitting salons in New York (stock image) Described as a 'multi-step treatment that promises to erase wrinkles, reverse sun damage, lighten dark spots, and prevent acne', the key ingredient is the somewhat bizarre stem cell from an infant's foreskin. Speaking to NY Magazine about the unusual treatment, Dr. Gail Naughton, a leader in regenerative science, said: 'When we're born, our skin is in its best shape. Our cells naturally secrete proteins known as growth factors that keep the cells healthy and stimulate them to divide. One writer who had the treatment hailed its benefits and described her post-facial confidence as being at 'Beyonce levels' and her skin as glowing as Jennifer Lopez's, right . 'As we age, our cells divide at a slower rate, which contribute to the telltale signs of aging, like wrinkles and loss of firmness and luminosity. Growth factors captured from the donated foreskin of a baby (just one can generate over a million treatments) are at their peak ability in promoting rapid cell turnover. 'Applied topically, they spur adult skin cells to regenerate. This is said to have a smoothing effect on the skin.' The 30-minute treatment involves a cleansing process using salicylic-and-glycolic-acid peel and an extraction to remove blackheads and dead skin. This process is followed by a mask packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and a serum with foreskin extracts and rounded off with some light therapy.

Gloria Ross, 84, who spent 30 years in the National Health Service as a nurse, was found with a distorted face when she was visited by her grandson Wayne Wilkins, 25.

Mr Wilkins called his mother, Mrs Ross\u2019 daughter Maxine, 49, who rushed to the hospital and pleaded with nurses to step in. It was not until an hour had passed that Mrs Ross was finally assessed by a doctor, who realised she had suffered a stroke and arranged for her to be taken to a stroke unit at Royal London Hospital.

Raymond Lee Fryberg Jr. was arraigned in Seattle on Thursday, nearly six months after his son Jaylen Fryberg killed four students at Marysville Pilchuck High School then himself. Fryberg had been the subject of a permanent domestic violence protection order that prohibited him from ever having firearms when he allegedly bought a Beretta pistol in January 2013. According to the criminal complaint, the order was against him in Tulalip Tribal Court in 2002 by a girlfriend who said he had threatened her, slapped her and pulled her hair. In court: Raymond Lee Fryberg Jr. walks out of the Federal Courthouse in Seattle on Thursday after he pleaded not guilty to illegally possessing a firearm. His son Jaylen used the gun to kill four classmates last year . Support: Fryberg, who is accused of lying about whether he had a restraining order against him when he bought the gun in January 2013, attended court with eight friends and family members . He allegedly bought the firearm from a gun shop and answered 'no' on the federal firearms purchasing form when asked if he was the subject of a restraining order that prohibits him from 'harassing, stalking or threatening your child or an intimate partner'. Fryberg's lawyer, John Henry Browne, previously said that 'there was never an order prohibiting him from owning or even purchasing firearms' from the tribal court. The issue in court will be whether he lied on the federal purchasing form, Browne said. Michael Lee, a lawyer with Browne's firm who attended the arraignment, said 'there is a distinction between what comes from a state court and a tribal court' in terms of restrictions placed on the subject of the order. Lee said they would secure the tribal order through discovery to make that point. Had the protection order been filed in a state court instead of the tribal court, it would have been entered into a criminal records database and would have surfaced during a background check. Gunman: Jaylen Fryberg, a freshman, shot dead four of his classmates then himself last October . But the order was never entered into any state or federal criminal databases because of a flawed reporting system between tribes and outside authorities. Tribes have long called on the federal government to fix this problem or provide access to the databases so they can enter the orders themselves. After The Associated Press reported on the problem last week, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it would host a conference in August with the tribes to try to resolve the problem. A federal grand jury issued an indictment on April 8 charging Fryberg with a single count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

Yet Kreis and NYCFC will be under no illusions about the task in hand. Things need to improve. And fast. A superb second half strike from Mehdi Ballouchy looked to have put an end to a run of just one win from the first five matches. But, as is ever the case in MLS, haphazard defending allowed CJ Sapong to stab in on 86 minutes. As long as David Villa stays fit - he came off at halftime with a hamstring strain here - and the squad continues to gel, Frank Lampard will arrive here in the summer and join a side who slowly but surely will have adapted to the task in hand by then.

Speaking at the University of Queensland in Brisbane on Friday night, Justice Diana Bryant told a room full of journalists that surrogacy laws currently in place need a major overhaul to prevent cases of abandonment. She said she believes that because commercial surrogacy is banned in Australia, hopeful parents are forced to enter into unlawful arrangements overseas. Scroll down for video . A top judge in Brisbane has said that surrogacy laws need to be overhauled to prevent a repeat of the baby Gammy (pictured with his mother) case . 'I personally think we should regulate and allow commercial surrogacy in Australia,' she said. 'If we allow it in Australia, we then can regulate it and ensure that it's done on ethical terms.' Her statement is backed up by a recent bout of child abandonment cases, where parents have refused to carry through with overseas surrogacy deals. This week an Australian couple were slammed after they left a baby boy born to their Indian surrogate with his mother after she unexpectedly gave birth to twins. Documents revealed the shocking details of the case that saw a couple return to Australia with a baby girl while leaving her twin brother behind. Justice Diana Bryant (pictured) has spoken out about Australia's surrogacy laws . The couple reportedly told staff they wanted a baby girl to 'complete their family'. They was told the boy would be left stateless if they followed through on plans to abandon him, because India does not recognise surrogate children as citizens. The Indian case is similar to the controversial baby Gammy scenario. Gammy was born in Thailand to a surrogate mother, however after reportedly learning that he had a disability, his Australian parents, West Australian couple Wendy and David Farnell, only brought his twin sister home with them. The Farnells returned to Australia with Gammy's twin sister Pipah, while Ms Chanbua remained with Gammy in Thailand's Chonburi province. Mr Farnell, a convicted child sex offender, retained custody of Pipah late last year after an investigation by the WA Department for Child Protection. Gammy pictures with his Thai surrogate mother Pattaramon 'Goy' Chanbua during a trip to the beach . In November, WA Child Protection Minister Helen Morton said there would be 'continual and rigorous testing' of a safety plan that had been developed for Pipah. Following these cases the Thai government passed a law criminalising surrogacy and prohibiting foreigners from seeking surrogacy services. The law, which prohibits the act of hiring women commercially to carry foetuses to term, aims to stop Thailand from being a surrogacy hub for foreign couples. Currently in Australia, it is illegal for women to act as surrogates, except in the Northern Territory where there are no laws in place to stop the act.

A United Airlines regional jet carried her back to the East Coast on Thursday from the Omaha, Nebraska airport.

Clinton had just finished a three-day presidential campaign swing in Council Bluffs, Iowa. That's just a few miles away, and home to a cafe where she held a top-secret meeting with Democratic Party insiders who were told to surrender their cell phones and cameras beforehand. In contrast with the private jet service Hillary has been accustomed to on her storied and lucrative speaking tours, her ride home was a no-frills commercial flight without a First Class seat to be found anywhere.

But her first Iowa event, promoted as a spontaneous coffee shop sit-down with average voters, turned out to be a carefully staged production whose young participants were driven to the cafe by Clinton's Iowa political director. At least three of the 'everyday Americans' featured in Hillary's campaign launch video have ties to Democratic Party politics.

A gambling addict stole more than \u00a322,000 from her grandmother's 98-year-old partner to blow on her scratchcard habit, a court heard. Marylin Stoneman had been entrusted with the vulnerable victim's pin number, cheque books and bank cards to manage his financial affairs after he went into care at Cedar House, Rothley. But the court heard that she abused that trust and began withdrawing up to \u00a3200 a day to feed her gambling habit. The 64-year-old admitted stealing \u00a322,650 from the elderly victim but was ordered to pay back just \u00a31,350 - which was all that remained of the stolen funds. The theft was discovered after the deputy manager of the care home became suspicious that Stoneman's step-grandfather, Douglas Woodrow, was receiving a number of letters from the bank. On August 19, he asked a member of staff to open one of the letters which indicated the victim had no money left in his accounts. The care home alerted Lloyds Bank in Loughborough, where they noticed unauthorised cash withdrawals had taken place from July 2013 and the police were contacted. Leicester Crown Court heard that Stoneman was 'solely responsible' and 'had been waiting for the police.' She had also taken an overdose as a result, the court heard. The devastated victim, who had gone into the care home in Leicestershire after a number of falls, said he felt angry and betrayed by Stoneman. In a statement read to the court, Mr Woodrow said: 'She has stole money from my bank account which is my life savings. It is what I have paid for my care. 'I am so angry she has taken everything. I am angry at everyone. It has really hurt me. 'I have worked hard all my life to be left with nothing. 'I can't trust anyone.' Defending Stoneman, who has no previous convictions, Vasanti Vaitha said: 'It was a relief when the police knocked on the door. She had been waiting for it for a long time. 'She does take full responsibility - and realises the impact it has had on the family. Stoneman had been entrusted with the vulnerable victim's financial affairs after he went into care at Cedar House, Rothley . 'This offence occurred from a gambling addiction while she was looking after the victim's finances. Her gambling spiralled out of control. 'She tried to take her own life.' Judge Michael Fowler said: 'I know you understand the meanness and seriousness of what you have done. 'It is more serious that Mr Woodrow trusted you. And the fact the funds you took were funds he had accumulated over his life and depended on them to some extent to pay for his care home fees.

+{"article": "Virtual reality headsets could help to tackle air sickness and jet lag during flights, according to a team of British engineers. A new device, called the Flow VR, provides passengers with a virtual image of the horizon that mimics the movements of the aircraft. This can help to combat the conflict between the information coming from a person's eyes and their sense of balance in the inner ear, which can lead to travel sickness. The system, designed by In-flight entertainment company Flow IFE, can also present travellers with high quality images of their destination that replicate the time of day to help them acclimatise to their new time zone. Airline Qantas is the first to introduce virtual reality headsets to its passengers (above) to keep them entertained during long flights but the devices could also help combat problems like air sickness and jet lag . Leon Codrington, general manager for product development at in-flight entertainment company Flow IFE, which has created the device, told The Times: 'The worst thing for bringing on motion sickness is a disconnect between what the eyes are seeing and what the body is feeling. Self-driving cars may be a way to take your eyes off the road and relax a little, but they can also increase travel sickness, research has found. The research was carried out by Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. They asked more than 3,200 adults across the US, India, China, Japan, Great Britain and Australia what kinds of activities they would do instead of driving in a fully self-driving vehicle. More than a third of Americans said they would do things that increase the likelihood and severity of motion sickness, including reading, texting, watching movies or television, playing games or working. More than half of Indians, 40 per cent of Chinese and up to 30 per cent of adults in Japan, Great Britain and Australia said they would also engage in these kinds of activities. The figures suggest that once autonomous vehicles become more mainstream as many as 12 per cent of people will feel ill in the vehicles at some point during a journey. 'If you're sat still, looking at a seat in front that isn't moving, yet you can feel the aircraft weaving all over the skies, that can make you feel ill very quickly. 'What our system does is eliminate that disconnect by showing you a horizon that moves up and down as the aircraft does.' The company showcased a prototype of its device at the Aircraft International Expo in Hamburg last week. The device uses accelerometers to detect the movement of the aircraft and displays a horizon that moves with it inside. The display can also provide passengers with a way of exploring their destination with three dimensional content. Notifications from the crew can also be displayed on the screen to help keep passengers informed while they can also be used to watch movies or play games. The headsets are expected to cost between \u00a3300 and \u00a3500 each.

NEC is the most common surgical emergency in newborn babies and tends to affect more babies born prematurely than those born full-term. In many cases, NEC can be treated without surgery, by resting the bowel by using intravenous feeding and treating any infection with antibiotics. During this period, the child will have a nasogastric (NG) tube passed through their nose to drain off the contents of their stomach. They will also have a drip of fluids and medicines. However, the child will need an operation if they develop a hole in their bowel or do not respond to the treatment above. The operation is carried out under a general anaesthetic and can last between 30 minutes and four hours, depending on the severity of the NEC. Source: Great Ormond Street Hospital .

An account purporting to be Sydney radio station 2UE sent out a tweet on Thursday morning which appears to have come from a disgruntled former employee. 'Apologies for the s*** news service these days,' the tweet began. 'We hope you like the sound of whinging hyenas reading the news. #bringbackblanda', the post ended. What looks to a tweet from a disgruntled former radio employee emerged on Twitter on Thursday morning . The hashtag was in reference to the station's former newsreader Steve Blanda, who had read the news at 2UE for over a decade. While the tweet has since been removed from the @2UENews Twitter account, there is speculation online that it could have been sent by an employee displaced by the controversial merger. A 2UE spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that they were aware of the posting but denied the message came from one of their accounts. They said it had not been used in years, and they believe it had been hacked, but by who they said they were unsure. Last Thursday the 90-year-old radio station 2UE broadcast its last ever bulletin out of the Sydney office, following a merger with rival station 2GB. Jobs were lost out of the Brisbane 4BC office, and at Magic 1278 IS Brisbane. 2UE in Sydney has just merged with rival station 2GB, which meant job losses from the newsroom and additional redundancies nationally . A 2UE spokesman said the new combined newsroom will be staffed by more than 20 journalists from both stations. Reporter Robert Spicer filed a brief story about the history of the station, which has covered every major news story for the most part of the last century including former prime minister Gough Whitlam's dismissal, the Beaconsfield mine disaster and the recent Sydney siege. '2UE has covered every significant news event over the past 90 years, with some of the best journalists in the country,' he said. Jason Morrison, a former 2UE breakfast and drive broadcaster, said the station took a financial hit after letting controversial ratings winner Alan Jones defect to 2GB in 2002. '2UE made some terrible decisions - whoever could let Alan Jones leave 2UE?,' he told AAP. 'That was the death knell, really, for the station.' Instead of local presenters in Sydney and Brisbane Alan Jones' (right) show will be broadcast in the breakfast slot, while Ray Hadley (left) will present mornings - both from their 2GB programs .

'When there is competition, there will be that desire to ensure that no stone's left unturned and there will be that desire to make sure that all angles are covered.'

Researchers have for the first time been able to test how much energy is required to strip an electron from an atom of the radioactive element lawrencium. The rare metal currently sits at the very bottom of the periodic table at the end of a group of elements known as the actinides, which sit in a separate block from the main table. But the results of new research suggest the element may have properties similar to sodium and potassium, which may fuel arguments that it would be better placed in the main body the periodic table. Lawrencium, marked as Lr on the periodic table above, currently sits in a separate block from the main table . If it is redraw, it means that chemistry students could have to relearn the order of how the elements appear. Lawrencium, which was first discovered in 1961 by the nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence, is notoriously difficult to make and only exists for a few seconds at a time. This has made the element, which can only be generated in particle accelerators, extremely difficult to study. There are several newly discovered atoms that currently do not appear on the periodic table. Two years ago scientists claimed to have discovered the existence of a new atom with an atomic number of 115. This makes it one of the heaviest chemical elements detected to date and does not occur naturally. Instead scientists had to synthesis it in the laboratory by bombarding a film of another heavy element known as americium with calcium ions. The resulting element lasted for just a fraction of a second before it decaying into more commonly found elements. Although still to be officially named, it has been given the temporary name of ununpentium. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry has also recently announced that nineteen elements have had their atomic weights reassessed. Among those to have had their standard atomic weights adjusted are elements like aluminium, fluorine, arsenic, caesium, cadmium and selenium. While some of the atoms were found to have an average weight that was a tiny fraction greater than previously calculated, others decreased. Overall the total atomic weight displayed on the periodic table increased by 0.003640021 as a result of the changes. But now researchers at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have been able to create enough to measured the ionisation potential of lawrencium for the first time.

Companies Tittygram and Titisign have popped up in Russia offering the eyebrow raising service and are, by all accounts, causing quite a stir. Indeed, it has already caught the attention of one big company, which jumped at the chance to advertise its whoppers. Cleavage: Burger King has become one of the first big companies to take advantage of thi type of advertising . From the heart of Russia: Two companies now offer to write on a woman's cleavage and take a snap . Burger King's Russian branch posted a picture of a woman with 'I love Burger King' emblazoned across her chest, courtesy of Tittygram, on its VK page, the country's version of Facebook. The message above reads: 'Do you want your name to be written here? 'Every week the most active participant will get such a named postcard from us! 'Not only our whoppers are prepared on fire, everything we have is on fire as well!' And it has certainly brought them a fair amount of attention, with hundreds of 'likes' and countless comments - although they are not all positive. What's more, as advertising campaigns go, it is incredibly cheap: for as little as $6, or \u00a34, they promise to get your message across in a way which is certain to grab attention. Versatile: The picture can then be used as either a personal message, or advertising, and cost just \u00a34 . Eyebrow raising: But the use of a woman's cleavage as advertising space has not been universally popular . According to the Global Post, Tittygram was set up earlier this year, with Titisign following in its footsteps more recently. Both offer a similar service, asking people to send their messages in, at which point a model writes the message on her breasts and then takes the requisite photo. The English website for Titisign boasts: 'Stave off boredom! Send your communication on the bosom of Russian beauties \u2013 knock your friends\u2019 socks off, advertise your business and make unforgettable gifts! 'Say hello from the heart of Russia!' Boasts: 'Knock your friends\u2019 socks off, advertise your business and make unforgettable gifts,' says Titisign . Alexey Gavrilov, co-founder of Titisign, revealed to MailOnline the company gets a range of requests for messages - from 'Farewell, Semyonych. With best wishes for your wedding day' to 'Do not play with heart - it is one. Play with boobs - there are two of them'. The women, he reveals, are not all professional models. 'We invite not only professional models who are interested in our project and like our idea, but beautiful girls,' he explained.

Police believe the man had been left in the woods all week - with nothing but a bible and a blanket - and was exposed to the rain and cold and to wild animals. He was found next to his wheelchair. Parler was initially charged with aggravated assault, kidnapping and neglect of a care-dependent person, and police have now added attempted murder to the list.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, head of specialist operations at the Metropolitan Police, said ISIS is trying to 'pick up' potential fighters among 'the vulnerable, people with violent backgrounds, very young people and those with mental health issues'. Mr Rowley issued the warning of new tactics among Islamist fanatics at the Counter-Terror Expo at Olympia, west London, yesterday. London-born ISIS execution Jihadi John is being used to recruit a network of 'misfits' around the world, made up of the 'very young, violent and mentally ill', a senior police officer has warned . On changing methods of attack, Mr Rowley said: 'We still have groups who are interested in the awful, spectacular attacks that we have seen with Al Qaeda in the past. 'That's still something we have to be concerned and worried about. But now there's a much wider range, with chaotic attacks across the world using knives, using vehicles. 'The real aim being to kill and get footage of that to propagate the message and propagate their cause.'

He fell under the spell of the notorious al-Muhajiroun group once fronted by hate preacher Anjem Choudary after being made homeless in London. In 2008, 22-year-old Nicky Reilly - who had a mental age of 10 - attempted to carry out a suicide bombing in Exeter after he was contacted by extremists online. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said yesterday that the tactics of terror groups are changing . Mr Rowley said there had been a 'step-change' in the scope and scale of terror threats. Citing the rise of ISIS in Syria and northern Iraq, compared to existing terror strongholds in Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen, he said: 'It's a much easier area to get to. It's not far from budget holiday trips to Turkey and Greece that those terror groups travel to, to exploit.' More than 600 British jihadists have travelled to join ISIS, with half returning to pose a threat on UK streets. But Mr Rowley said around 50 per cent did not have terror links before flying to Syria. Instead, many had been radicalised via propaganda on social media, by extremists, hate preachers and fighters such as Jihadi John - real name Mohammed Emwazi.

Mr. Rouner took particular issue with the fact that school dress codes almost exclusively target girls, banning items of clothing that aren't even sold in the boy's sections of stores. Though rules against exposing the chest and torso could theoretically apply to boys as well, he explained, boy's clothing simply isn't made to show skin in the same places as girls' clothing.

They say the results show just how modern lifestyles and diets have changed us - and that the bacteria they found could be potentially beneficial to modern society. Researchers sequenced the microbiomes of Yanomami people living in a remote Amazon village in Venezuela who had not had previous contact with non-Yanomami. There are about 26,000 Yanomami living in Brazil and 15,000 in Venezuela, mostly in federally protected reserves near rivers and in remote mountains. The Yanomami are an indigenous ethnic group in the Amazonian region of South America. There are about 26,000 Yanomami living in Brazil and 15,000 in Venezuela, mostly in federally protected reserves near rivers and in remote mountains. The Yanomami are hunter-gatherers. They gather wild bananas, seasonal fruits, palm hearts and cassava. They hunt birds, small mammals, crabs, frogs, small fish and the occasional peccary, monkey or tapir. The group doesn't grow food or domesticate livestock. The researchers found that Yanomami people harbor microbiomes with the highest diversity of bacteria and genetic functions ever reported in a human group. 'That tells us that Western diets and lifestyles have a great impact on our microbiomes', experts at University of San Diego said. 'Studying the microbiomes of people in remote areas may hold the key to understanding microbes we have lost through antibiotics, sealed buildings and lack of exposure to the outdoors,' said study co-author Rob Knight. In the new study published April 17 by Science Advances, researchers sequenced the microbiomes of Yanomami people living in a remote Amazon village in Venezuela who had not had previous contact with non-Yanomami. This information revealed, for the first time, the species of bacteria that co-exist with people who have never been exposed to industrialized society, including Western food and antibiotics. 'Our findings emphasize the need for extensive characterization of the function of the microbiome and resistome in remote nonwesternized populations before globalization of modern practices affects potentially beneficial bacteria harbored in the human body,' the researchers wrote. Many Yanomami now regularly interact with Western civilization through trade, but some villages have never had contact with non-Yanomami people. One such unmapped village was first spotted by an army helicopter passing overhead in 2008. In 2009, a medical mission landed there. As part of their 2009 visit to this previously uncontacted Yanomami village, medical professionals collected samples from the skin, mouths and fecal matter of 34 of the 54 villagers before vaccines or antibiotics were administered.

As Sportsmail revealed this week, Celtic have placed former Rangers defender Wilson on a list of potential summer recruits. Speaking ahead of Sunday's Championship clash with the Ibrox club, Neilson admitted external interest in his promoted players is inevitable. Hearts manager Robbie Neilson will not sell his players unless it is the right move for the club . Echoing the view of owner Ann Budge, however, the Tynecastle coach says departures will only happen on his say-so if the price is right.

With a shrug of resignation, Neilson added: 'People talk about how comments from other managers can unsettle you. I think it gives you a boost, because you realise that teams admire you and are interested in you. 'When no team is interested in you... that is what unsettles you. You start worrying when nobody is talking about you. If there is interest in players then it just shows that they are doing really well.

Conservative Thatcher, who led the country from 1979 until 1990, established Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 \u2013 a legislation that was considered anti-gay and later overturned in 2003. Section 28 was introduced against a backdrop of councils promoting gay relationships in schools and the rise of AIDS. The section of the act banned councils from using taxpayers' money to fund books, plays, leaflets, films or any other material showing gay relationships as normal and 'promoting the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship'. Madonna, who has previously immersed herself in the gay community and was named one of the greatest gay icons of all time in 2012, thanked Thatcher for her example in the Instagram post today.

The number of fatal crashes involving teenage drivers has dropped 55 per cent in the past decade, according to a U.S. report. Between 2004 and 2013, the number of passenger vehicle drivers aged 16 to 19 involved in U.S. fatal crashes decreased from 5,724 to 2,568, per 100,000 people. New safety features in cars and graduate license restrictions are among the top reasons for the dramatic drop in fatalities. Ruth Shults, an injury prevention researcher at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta who worked on the report, said graduated licenses decrease overall crash rate in teen drivers by 20 to 40 per cent. Graduated licenses can put curfews on young drivers, putting less teens on the road at night. These types of licenses can also restrict the number of passengers a new driver can have in their car, according to Autoblog. Some states limit young drivers to one passenger, while others only allow relatives and driving instructors. As for time restrictions, some states, such as Idaho, do not let young drivers on the road from sunset to sunrise. Other states have more concrete time periods, such as 11pm to 5am or 12am to 6am. The age in which graduated licenses change from beginner to intermediate to fully privileged driver also varies among states. Eric Teoh, a senior highway statistician at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in Arlington, Virginia, who was not involved in the study said younger teens might not be getting behind the wheel, which means less accidents can occur. On average, three out of four U.S. high schools students aged 16 or older reported to have driven in the past 30 days when taking a survey . 'An 18-year-old novice is probably more prepared maturity-wise than a 16-year-old novice,' he told Autoblog. Three out four U.S. high schools students aged 16 or older had driven at least once during the 30 days before a survey was taken by the CDC, according to the report that announced the fatality information.

It is unclear whether they had married, although she uses his surname. It is believed the couple had been watching television in the family's home on the 21st floor of one of Hong Kong's most luxurious apartment buildings before Blanca's mother found her daughter was locked in a bathroom shortly before 2am.

The likelihood of another coalition lasting five years has been dismissed as miniscule by a leading academic. A second election swiftly after polling day is 'extremely likely', Professor Paul Whiteley of the University of Essex said. Britain is likely to face a second election shortly after May 7 because of a knife-edge outcome, political experts have warned . 'I don't see another coalition government lasting five years,' he said at a briefing by polling experts on the latest election forecasts. Other experts also warned that a 'messy and unstable' left-wing alliance was likely to be in power even if the Conservatives won more seats or a greater share of the vote. Mr Whiteley predicted a repeat of the disastrous Left-wing Lib-Lib pact of the 1970s. It ended with Labour Prime Minister James Callaghan losing a vote of no confidence. 'That was not very successful. It had to go to the IMF for a bail out and there were huge industrial problems.' The disastrous pact led to the rise of Margaret Thatcher and the Tories held on to power for another 18 years. Experts said the likeliest outcome at the general election would be the Conservatives winning the most votes, but a left-wing alliance forming to keep them out of power. Oxford academic Stephen Fisher said there was a high chance Labour would form either a minority government or coalition with the help of the SNP, Liberal Democrats, Greens or other minor parties. There was 'only a 42 per cent chance of a Conservative-led government, even though there is a two-thirds chance of the Tories being the largest party, on votes or seats.' He added: 'The single most likely outcome is\u2026a seriously hung parliament with the Conservatives as clearly the largest party but a majority on the left, including the SNP and Liberal Democrats.'

The Conservatives would probably turn to the DUP first and then the Lib Dems to try and form a government but they were still likely to be short of a majority, he added. The SNP's surge in Scotland was likely to be hugely damaging for Labour but Ed Miliband could still walk into Number 10 propped up by an alliance of left-leaning parties. A massive landslide to the SNP was inevitable, with the party winning at worst six times more seats than it currently holds or at best nine times more.

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.

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.

While his comprehension and mental functioning remained relatively normal, Mr Leborgne progressively lost the ability to produce meaningful speech over a period of 20 years. Like Hodor, the man was nicknamed Tan because he only spoke a single word: 'Tan.' Just a few days after meeting Dr Broca, Leborgne passed away. Dr Broca's autopsy determined tissue damage, or a 'lesion', in the frontal lobe of Mr Leborgne's left brain hemisphere, just next to a brain fold called the lateral sulcus. In 1861, a French physician called Dr Broca found a particular part of the brain is involved in language. It became known as Broca's area (pictured in red). Damage to Broca's area causes language problems . Over the next two years, Dr Broca acquired brains from 12 more patients with Mr Leborgne's symptoms \u2013 all of the autopsy evidence was strikingly consistent. Neuroscientists are still examining this small region of the brain, now often referred to as 'Broca's area' to work out its many functions. Most research has focused on a patient's inability to form syntactically complex sentences when this area is damaged. More recent work using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has also reported that Broca's area is active during language comprehension tasks, interpretation of movement and comprehending various gestures also associated with speech, such as waving goodbye. HOW BRAIN DAMAGE AFFECTS SPEECH . In collaboration with French scientists in 2007, a group at the University of California revisited the brains of Mr Leborgne and Mr Lelong (another of Mr Broca's patients who could only speak five words) using MRI scans. One of their most interesting findings was that their lesions extended much deeper than Broca had reported, suggesting that multiple brain regions were probably contributing to their speech deficits.

Started in high school: Glenna was an avid tanner starting in high school and would sit in the sun some 40 hours per week every summer while working as a life guard in Cape Cod. In college, she tanned frequently in sun beds . Glenna was diagnosed with stage III melanoma after she found a golf ball sized lump in her groin just before graduating from college in 2005 . 'No one in our family knew what melanoma was,' Glenna's mother, Colleen Kohl, recalled to Cosmopolitan (via ELLE) 'We did a lot of crying.' The dreaded diagnosis came after Glenna, at just 22, discovered a golf ball-sized lump in her groin while working out at the gym one day. She would eventually see a doctor and get a biopsy. Physicians would trace the cancer back to a mole Glenna had removed years earlier, but which doctors had failed to identify as melanoma. By then, she already had stage III melanoma. But Glenna was prepared to fight. 'Whatever I have to do to fight cancer, I'll do,' her father Bob recalls his daughter saying. Because the cancer had spread to her lymphatic system, doctors removed 13 lymph nodes from her groin. Less than a year later, Glenna found a small lump in her abdomen and was told her cancer had progress to stage IV. Glenna was given more powerful drugs, but the cancer continued to spread. She tried experimental treatments with terrible side effects, but they were no use. Glenna died in November 2008, three years after her diagnosis--and her final tanning session. 'As health-conscious as Glenna was, she didn't connect tanning with skin cancer,' said Glenna's mother, who's now working to make sure others will make that connection before it's too late. 'Glenna's not here to inform people of the dangers,' Colleen told Cosmo. 'so we're going to continue her work for her.'

So the team studied the movement of ocean waves at the bottom of the seabed. As these long waves travel over the ocean floor they meet resistance, especially as they pass over the steep continental shelves, and this friction helps create long seismic waves, that oscillate much slower.

They proposed that as ocean waves move in opposite directions and collide they create microseismic activity. But Fabrice Ardhuin, a senior research scientist at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France, and his team wanted to put this theory to the test.

Other specialists from the hospital's plastic surgery and liver transplant departments were also brought in to advise on the procedure, details of which have only just been released. The patient, a 45-year-old man, did not want to be identified. Unlike similar operations, where a patient has had features of their face replaced, or rebuilt, the latest procedure was much more invasive. The man had suffered a condition called arteriovenous malformation for the past 20 years. This is a tangle of blood vessels in the brain which diverts blood from the arteries to the veins, bypassing normal brain tissue. In this man's case, it caused facial deformities and problems with his vision and speech. As a result, most of the man's face lower face was been reconstructed, including his neck, mouth, tongue and the back of his throat. And all the skin and muscles of his face, nose, lips, jaw, all teeth, palate and cheek bones were transplanted by using plastic surgery techniques and microsurgery. There was, however, a risk of severe bleeding that put his life in danger. The man had been examined in several other hospitals, including the Mayo Clinic and Harvard Medical School, which had considered him to be inoperable.

Cryos is looking for donors aged up to 39, and over 5ft 9in tall. Payments are not listed on the company's website, but Mr Londeree said donors can make $750 per month. Donations can be made anonymously, but the company encourages people to become non-anonymous donors, allowing children to know their identity when they turn 18. While the company accepts donations from any race and ethnicity, donors with Danish heritage are particularly popular. After Cryos opened donor clinics in Copenhagen, they helped sperm to become one of Denmark's top exports, after beer and Lego. However, it is bad news for any potential red-haired donors, as the company has previously said it is oversupplied with sperm from ginger men, and at one point stopped accepting it.

One in five people have never seen a hedgehog in their gardens, according to a wildlife survey. And of those who do spot the tiny animals, only a quarter see them frequently, the RSPB found. The startling figures confirm fears that the small British mammal is suffering a huge decline. There are thought to be less than 1 million hedgehogs living in this country today, an estimated 30 per cent drop since 2013. One in five people have never seen a hedgehog in their gardens, according to a new wildlife survey . Part of the reason is the widespread loss of the traditional hedgerows that used to line every country road. But the loss of bushes and hedges in back gardens is also thought to have played a role in the animal\u2019s demise. Mark Eaton, conservation scientist at the RSPB, said that the popularity of hard wooden or metal fences has made it hard for hedgehogs to move from place to place. As they become isolated in smaller and smaller areas of greenery, they cannot feed or mate. \u2018A few decades ago there were tens of millions of hedgehogs in Britain, now we think there are maybe 1 million left,\u2019 Mr Eaton said. \u2018Most of the reason is down to the change in the way we manage our countryside - the loss of hedgerows and woodlands has removed their habitat and the increase in the use of pesticides has removed a lot of the beetles and other animals they feed on. \u2018But there are concerns about the way we garden as well. \u2018Hedgehogs have to make their way through the maze of back gardens, trying to find gaps in fences. \u2018It doesn\u2019t matter if you have a garden with the most juicy hedgehog food, with lots of slugs and worms - if you fence them out, they are not going to get in.\u2019 Part of the reason is the widespread loss of the traditional hedgerows that used to line every country road . Cutting holes of just a few inches - about the size of a CD - is enough for a hedgehog to get through a fence, experts say. More than 420,000 people provided information about the wildlife in their back garden as part of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Some 65 per cent said they had seen a hedgehog in the last year - but only 28 per cent saw them once a month or more. Some 20 per cent of participants had never seen a hedgehog in their garden.

Cheat: Raymond Billam, 40, claimed he was unable to walk more than a few metres, but was filmed running and jumping as he took to the pitch for his pub football team . Shaven headed Billam claimed he was unable to walk more than 20 metres without falling and needed crutches to get around. But between September 2008 and April 2014 he pulled on the green and black shirt of Ingsfield Lane football club and two other teams in the Mexborough and District Sunday League. In total Billam of Bolton-on-Dearne, South Yorkshire, played over 87 games while dishonestly claiming incapacity benefit, Barnsley Magistrates Court was told. Julie Grant, prosecuting, said: 'Over three consecutive Sundays he was playing football, running, jumping and participating fully showing no signs of discomfort.' His appearances and goals were even posted on the internet, magistrates' heard. 'Clearly this is not consistent with somebody unable to walk without aids,' the prosecutor added. When Billam was arrested he said he had 'good days and bad days' and he was so well-known in the league that others could have been playing under his name. But he could not provide investigators with a list of names.

A lifetime of following Spurs can have that effect on you, especially in recent years. Last Saturday\u2019s inept capitulation to Aston Villa was the most recent occasion: a soft goal down after 45 minutes and an expensively assembled team which looked as if it had been recruited from the local JobCentre half an hour before the kick-off.

So it was surprising, to say the least, to see that photograph of two Muslim Liverpool supporters praying to Mecca at half-time in an FA Cup match. They had rolled out their prayer mat at the foot of some stairs beneath the stand, apparently with the full consent of safety staff. One of the men, solicitor Asif Bodi, 46, from Preston, explained that because the televised game didn\u2019t kick off until 4pm, the final whistle would have blown too late for them to pray outside the ground. So perhaps we can point the finger at television. Matches are shifted all over the shop by the schedulers, for purely commercial reasons. For instance, those irritating lunchtime games are designed for the benefit of bookmakers and betting syndicates in the Far East, not season ticket holders. Travelling fans often complain that evening games mean it is impossible for them to catch the last train home. But this may be the first time that a late kick-off for the convenience of television has played havoc with the Muslim call to prayer. The extraordinary scene was captured on a mobile phone camera by Liverpool supporter Stephen Dodd. He tweeted the photograph with the caption \u2018Muslims praying at half-time at the match yesterday #DISGRACE.\u2019 In no time, predictably, the balloon went up.

The victim came forward in late March to report the alleged attack, which he claims took place in January. In the recording, men can be heard 'yelling and laughing with excitement' while the victim is held down and bent over a couch. The group first tries to use a broomstick to sexually assault him and then decides upon the sausage. Satterfield and Getzendaner held a closed-door meeting with everyone after the incident where they told the victim and perpetrators to delete the video and not to tell anyone, according to an arrest warrant. They said that the victim could have taken legal action against the firefighters, but told him 'But you're not going to'.

Sergio Ramos runs up the pitch before playing a delightful through pass to Hernandez with the outside of his foot. The Mexican then takes one touch to bring the ball down before placing the ball into the net. A fine goal by the Real Madrid loanee. Some great football being played by Celta - and remember their wage bill is \u20ac12m compared with the \u20ac17m Real pay Ronaldo. But they are inevitably leaving themselves wide open on the counter. An equaliser doesn't look far off as Real fail to get to grips with Celta.

A jury decided in 2004 that he should be put to death, and unsuccessful appeals since then have focused on whether Sprouse was mentally ill at the time of the slayings in 2002 and should be spared the death penalty. He died 22 minutes after being injected and is now the fifth inmate to be executed this year in Texas, the nation's most active death penalty state.

It includes the cost of a 10billion euro forced Nazi loan made by the Bank of Greece and the return of archaeological treasures. The revised figures amount to nearly 10 per cent of Germany's GDP.

Mr Mardas said the reparations calculation had been made by Greece's state general accounting office. Berlin paid 115m deutschmarks to Athens in 1960 in compensation \u2013 a fraction of the Greek demand.

A poll carried for Greek radio found more than 80 per cent of Greeks agreed with the pusuit of Nazi war debt claims. Yesterday Greek MPs also voted to establish a committee examining the circumstances of its 2010 bail-out by eurozone creditors and the IMF to the tune of 240billion euros. \u2018After five years of parliamentary silence on the major issues that caused the bailout catastrophe, today we commence a procedure that will", "summary": "Greek government has unveiled its final calculation for the war reparations .

Governor Jerry Brown observed the survey on Wednesday, which found the lowest water level in the Sierra Nevada snowpack since 1950 when records began.

The governor's order requires cities and towns to cut water use by 25 percent. So far in the current drought, many Californians have not made changes to their daily routines to save water or taken a hit in their wallets because of it. Attending the survey with Gov Brown was DWR Director Mark Cowin, who said Californians can expect to receive almost no water from the meager snowpack as it melts in the coming weeks. 'Today's survey underscores the severity of California's drought,' he said. 'Water conservation must become a way of life during the worst drought in most Californians' lifetimes.' In what were considered normal precipitation years, the snowpack supplied about 30 percent of California's water needs as it melts in the spring and summer.

'People are taking note of the political upheavals that are happening, a great political force that I represent tonight - and that tomorrow can perhaps change the face of decisions that are made not just in France, but perhaps in Europe,' Le Pen said. The recognition comes at an eventful time for Le Pen, who recently announced she would oppose her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, on his candidacy in France's regional elections in December. Earlier this month, Le Pen Snr, who founded National Front in 1972, infuriated his daughter with a series of racist and anti-Semitic remarks.

With the two major cobbled classics - the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix - looming large over the next two weekends, it is time to see the early results of Sir Dave Brailsford's move to put more emphasis on the Spring Classics in his second five-year plan for Team Sky. With Wiggins electing to sign off his Team Sky career with an appearance at Paris-Roubaix on April 12, the races are bound to be a big part of the team's season whatever the outcome. British Bradley Wiggins competes during the the Gent-Wevelgem one day cycling race on March 29 . The shift in emphasis has already paid dividends in the early part of the season, with Stannard defending his title at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Team Sky's third victory in the Belgian race, while Thomas last week won E3 Harelbeke - a key warm-up for this weekend's Tour of Flanders. Kelly, whose record of nine Monument wins puts him in a tie for third all-time, likes what he sees from Team Sky as the big races approach. 'Right now they're looking really good,' Kelly said. 'They've been very impressive in the semi-classics. Can they finish it off by winning a big one?' Team Sky's focus on the Grand Tours up to now has left them short of riders equipped to win classics, while the usually chaotic nature of the races is anathema to their favoured controlling tactics. But the development of Stannard and Thomas gives Team Sky two in-house contenders, while Wiggins raised eyebrows with his ninth-placed finish in Paris-Roubaix last year and he vowed to return. Luke Rowe could also be another British option for the team. Ian Stannard (3rd from front) rides in the Gent-Wevelgem one-day cycling race on March 29 . Injuries to classics specialists Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory) and Tom Boonen (Etixx-QuickStep) - although the latter may return in time for Paris-Roubaix - add to the impression that Team Sky's best chance may be now. 'Without Cancellara, without Boonen, it's going to be a more open race,' said Kelly, who will commentate on both the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix for Eurosport. 'There's going to be eight-10 guys saying they can win and Sky have three of them. Geraint is certainly in there, Stannard is maybe a little bit under his best after his crash (in the first Monument, Milan-San Remo on March 22) but can come back, and then of course there is Wiggins.' Of the three, Wiggins is yet to show the sort of form this season which suggests he can win Paris-Roubaix, but Kelly is not counting the 2012 Tour de France winner out, saying a Monument win to add to his Tour and world time trial success would elevate Wiggins to 'another level'.

+{"article": "A former mob enforcer in Rhode Island with ties to late New England crime boss Raymond L.S. Patriarca has died in a federal prison in North Carolina. Gerard T. 'The Frenchman' Ouimette was 75. The Federal Bureau of Prison's website reported that Ouimette, who had lived in Fall River, Massachusetts, died Sunday. Ouimette, suspected of having a role in up to eight murders, 'ran' the federal prison in North Carolina in the 1970s and even had booze, drugs and lobster dinner smuggled in on a weekly basis, according to a Rhode Island State Police report. His nephew, Kevin Ouimette Lynch, tells the Providence Journal that his uncle was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and died in his sleep at a prison in Butner, North Carolina. Ouimette was reportedly in control of a gangster network responsible for gambling, loansharking, extortion, and murder, among other crimes . Ouimette passed away in this medium security facility after being diagnosed with lung cancer . In 1996, Ouimette was convicted of extortion and became the first criminal in New England sentenced to life in prison under the federal 'three strikes and you're out' provision for violent offenders. Ouimette had more than 10 convictions during his criminal career, including one for punching an FBI agent. The Providence Journal reports that Ouimette spent a total of 46 years behind bars. A 1979 FBI document regarding his background paints the picture of man in control of a massive underworld network. 'Subject OUIMETTE controls a large group of criminals known as the OUIMETTE faction, whose criminal activities include gambling, loansharking, extortion and property violations such as major hijackings, robberies and burglaries,' the report states. Ouimette had close ties to crime boss Raymond Patriarca, seen here leaving a federal building in Boston on June 27, 1967. 'Although not Italian, OUIMETTE enjoys the same stature as lieutenants under RAYMOND L.S. PATRIARCA, who controls organized crime (OC) in the Boston and New England area.' The document went on to call Ouimette responsible for 'seven of eight gangland-style murders.' He was never convicted of any homicides, however. Ouimette was known to his associates as 'The Frenchman.' In his 2012 memoir, 'What Price Providence,' the enforcer blamed the police for the nickname. ''The Frenchman' is the name that Rhode Island police attached to me in 1969 since I am proud of my French descent, an anomaly in that neighborhood,' he wrote. 'Due to ensuing notoriety, the name stuck.' In the introduction to that back, he wrote that he knew he would die in prison. 'There is a saying that is appropriate to prison life: 'If you sit by the river long enough, you will eventually see all your enemies float by,'' he wrote. 'Bottom line is, if you can survive, you're ahead of the game, not by much, but by some. The reason is, there is no room for error when you are playing the La Costra Nostra's major leagues; one mistake can end your life, and often does.'

For the 100 million women worldwide on the contraceptive pill, the side effects are familiar. Mood swings, headaches and nausea, while more serious complications include blood clots and breast cancer. But scientists in California have added another potential cause for concern to the check list. Their new study has found the oral contraceptive shrinks two key regions of the brain, changing the way they function. The findings suggest the synthetic hormones found in the Pill cause these alterations in brain structure and function. Furthermore the ingredient is thought to suppress the natural hormones that occur when women take the Pill. Neuroscientists at UCLA examined the brains of 90 women, 44 of whom took the Pill, and 46 who experienced natural cycles. They found the lateral orbitofrontal cortex and the posterior cigulate cortex were thinner in those women taking the contraception. The lateral orbitofrontal cortex plays an important role in regulating a person's emotions and their response to rewards. As a result the changes noted by researchers could, they say, be responsible for increased anxiety and depressive symptoms experienced by some women on the Pill. Meanwhile the posterior cingulate cortex governs the 'internal state', or inward-directed thought, helps process emotions and retrieve memories. Nicole Petersen, the study's lead author, told The Huffington Post: 'Some women experience negative emotional side effects from taking oral contraceptive pills, although the scientific findings investigating that have been mixed. 'So it's possible that this change in the lateral orbitofrontal cortex may be related to the emotional changes that some women experience when using birth control pills.' Researchers said they do not yet know if these changes to the brain are permanent, or if they only last while a woman is taking the Pill. Dr Petersen said more research is needed, but added that this study is the first step. The latest study comes five years after research by the Royal College of General Practitioners revealed Pill-users have a 12 per cent reduction in their risk of developing cancer. Scientists at UCLA found the lateral orbitofrontal cortex and the posterior cigulate cortex were thinner in those women taking the contraception. They believe it could account for increased anxiety and depressive symptoms experienced by some women taking the Pill . The researchers studied 46,000 women across four decades, and found those on the Pill were less likely to die of cancer, heart disease or stroke. It contradicts past studies that have linked the Pill to breast cancer. The risks associated with taking the Pill are increased if a woman smokes, has a family history of thrombosis, is severely overweight, diabetic, has a high blood pressure or high cholesterol level.

Sources close to the investigation, which is being led by the counter-terrorism unit, told the Sunday Times that Abdul Hadi Arwani, an opponent of Syrian President Bahsar Al-Assad, had visited the area where he was killed with his son days before his death. Arwani, 48, was shot and killed in his car on a quiet street in North West London after being called there last Tuesday, apparently to provide a quote for building work. Scroll down for video . imam, Abdul Hadi Arwani (pictured), was called to a job in the area he was killed days before his death . When the imam, who had links to the Muslim Brotherhood in the UK and abroad, arrived to the house with his son and not on his own, the supposed potential client asked Arwani to come back another day. The man was identified as black and speaking with an African accent. He pretended to have lost his keys which is why he asked Arwani, a part-time builder, to return later. The Sunday Telegraph reported that the man, who has not been otherwise been identified, also told the imam that there was no need for his son to accompany him again when he did come back. Arwani's children are in little doubt their father was killed by the man asking for the building quote. Scotland Yard is looking into whether the man was a hired killer who postponed the hit because because Arwani was not alone. The counter-terrorism unit has special expertise relating to politically motivated assassinations but they are also keeping other lines of inquiry open. Aspects of Arwani\u2019s personal life as well as his financial standing are being considered. The Syrian-born activist and imam died of multiple gunshot wounds to the chest sustained near to the junction of the Paddocks and Greenhill, Wembley.

+{"article": "They have a reputation as rather brutish creatures who chomped their way through huge hunks of meat, but it seems Neanderthals may actually have been the first masterchefs. New research is suggesting that these extinct early humans may have used wild herbs to flavour their food. Scientists have found traces of compounds found in camomile and yarrow in the hardened plaque of 50,000 year old Neanderthal teeth found in El Sidron, Spain. Neanderthals (represented in the drawing above) may have been the world's first gourmets - using herbs like yarrow and camomile to flavour the meat that dominated their diet, according to a new scientific paper . At first researchers thought they might have been using these plants as a form of self-medication, but now new findings have presented a different theory. Dr Sabrina Krief, a lecturer at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, and her colleagues suggests they may have used them to make food more palatable. Neanderthals may have cooked stews in the skins of animals, according to some anthropologists. Animal bones found at sites known to have been inhabited by Neanderthals are 90 per cent free of gnaw marks. This suggests that fat and meat had instead been cooked off the bones. A study of tooth plaque from the teeth of fossilised Neanderthal remains also suggest that they may have heated grains of barley. However, there is no evidence that Neanderthals had any pots or pans to cook with. Instead Professor John Speth, an archaeologist at the University of Michigan, believes that they used animal paunches and folded bark to make bags that they could boil their good in. A study of plaque found on Neanderthal teeth like the one above suggests they ate grains like barley . They have found that wild chimpanzees in Uganda eat three different types of leaf while consuming meat they had caught. They say Neanderthals could also used herbs to improve their culinary creations in the same way. There is already evidence that they cooked their food and may even have created stews in the skins of animals. Writing in the journal Antiquity, Dr Krief and her colleagues said: 'Data on Neanderthal behaviour suggest that their subsistence and technological strategies were complex.' Neanderthals have long been portrayed as a rather primitive form of human that died out as they were unable to compete with the more sophisticated modern humans that arrived in Europe and Asia from Africa. However, recent discoveries have shown that they may actually have had a complex culture - capable of making stone tools and even jewellery. Three years ago researchers at the University of Barcelona examined ten teeth from the remains of five Neanderthals found in El Sidron, northern Spain. In the dental plaque of one young adult they discovered three compounds that occur naturally in yarrow and camomile. Dr Karen Hardy and her team, who conducted that work, suggested that these plants had been used to help ward off illness or treat a diease. Yarrow for example has been used in the past to treat fever", "summary": "Scientists suggest that prehistoric human cousins used herbs like yarrow and camomile to improve the taste of their food around 50,000 years ago . Chimps in Uganda also eat plants with their meat in a way that is thought to flavour their food so researchers believe Neanderthals also did the same . It build recent discoveries that suggest they also ate barley, olives and nuts . The findings transform the view of Neanderthals as unsophisticated brutes ."}

The 69-year-old was convicted of indecently assaulting a woman behind the scenes at the Mrs Merton Show and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, suspended for two years. At a costs application hearing today, the former radio presenter was told he would be awarded travel and hotel fees for his time on trial. Travis's conviction came after lengthy legal proceedings which saw him cleared of 12 counts of indecent assault following a trial in February last year. After the jury was unable to decide on verdicts on an additional count of indecent assault and one count of sexual assault, the Crown Prosecution Service announced that the DJ, real name David Griffin, would face a retrial. It also added one more count of indecent assault - the offence of which he was eventually convicted of in September.

A spokesman said: 'During last month's Premier League shareholders' meeting, the clubs agreed to adopt the Living Wage for all full-time employees by the start of the 2016-17 season. 'Manchester United is fully supportive of this initiative and will be implementing this policy from July 1 2015, a year earlier than agreed.' A group of United and City supporters had planned to demonstrate about the issue at Sunday's Manchester derby. Chelsea became the first professional club in England to pay a living wage to all their staff while supporter-owned FC United of Manchester were the first club in Britain. All Premier League clubs have agreed to pay the living wage from the start of the 2016-17 season . City are also committed to paying their full-time staff the living wage. 'Since May 2013 Manchester City Football Club has paid the Living Wage to all directly employed staff,' a spokesperson said. 'The club also has a robust sustainable procurement policy for capital works that includes a requirement that suppliers already pay the living wage or are working towards it, and whether suppliers pay the living wage is part of the selection process for all new contracts. 'City engages employment and procurement practices that are robust and socially aware. These take into account of the need for affordable living, best care in welfare, training and skills development, and local opportunity including apprenticeships and new skills programmes.

When the authorities of Highland Oaks Middle School in Tennessee realised the image had been shared online, they suspended three of the students for three days. Eighth grade teacher Tiffany Jackson was arrested by police for driving while her licence was suspended. Students at the Memphis school where she teaches were suspended after sharing this mugshot online . Parent Shanna Richardson told WMC Action News said her son, who re-posted the picture, was one of the pupils taken out of school for sharing the mugshot.

A popular graduate fell to his death from a bedroom window in the Swiss Alps after playing drinking games, an inquest heard. Jake Shaw was just beginning his gap year - volunteering as a climbing instructor at Kandersteg International Scout Centre - when the tragedy occurred last year. The 21-year-old had fallen 25ft (8m) from the upper floor of the building in the early hours of August 1. He was airlifted to hospital in Bern suffering severe injuries but died nine days later. Lincoln Coroner's Court heard that shortly before his death, Jake had been celebrating the Swiss National Day with friends with drinking games called 'Power Hour' and 'Ring of Fire.' After consuming a large amount of beer in the staff room at the centre he returned to his room at around 2.45am in a 'very drunk state'. It is then believed he lost his balance as he tried to open a bedroom window and toppled out of the window at the adventure camp in Interlaken, Switzerland. Today Lincolnshire Central assistant coroner Paul Smith, concluded that Jake's death was an accident. He said: 'The level of alcohol in his body was consistent with 11 standard drinks. 'It's the presumption that he was undeniably very drunk that evening - how that affected his balance is a matter of speculation. 'The most likely explanation is that in his state he took himself to bed, opened the window and perhaps overbalanced and fell. 'I'm satisfied that this was a tragic accident.' The court heard how in the game 'Power Hour', participants have to drink a shot of beer every minute for an hour and if completed two and a half litres of beer is consumed. A police report read out during the inquest, added: 'Examinations indicated that the August 1 celebrations were followed by a private party which Jake had attended. 'There were group games with drinks in the staff room. Jake had probably drank a large amount of mainly beer. After consuming a large amount of beer in the staff room at Kandersteg International Scout Centre he returned to his room at around 2.45am in a 'very drunk state'. Shortly before his death, adventure-loving Jake had been celebrating the Swiss National Day with friends with drinking games called 'Power Hour' and 'Ring of Fire' 'At some time after 2.45am he came away in an alcoholised state without letting anyone know where he was going. 'It must be presumed he returned to his room. How the fall happened can't be established in any detail.' Jake, from Welton, Lincolnshire had graduated with a maths degree from Sheffield University and had just started a gap year at the time of his death.

After being caught he was told that he must serve at least eight years in jail before becoming eligible to apply for release on parole. The violent thug had previously been handed 13 life sentences at the Old Bailey in 2002 and earned his nickname by pistol-whipping his victims. Following the scandal, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling publicly announced that the Government was 'tearing up the system as it exists at the moment' and introduced his absconder policy. But two senior judges at London's High Court have ruled that excluding transfers for prisoners with a history of absconding was unlawful. Wheatley was eligible for release after eight years, had been on the run after leaving Standford Hill open prison in Kent on day release and failing to return. He was arrested alongside another man in Tower Hamlets, east London, after an armed robbery at a Chelsea Building Society branch in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey. The Ministry of Justice today announced they would appeal against the ruling. New rules were introduced after Wheatley walked out of an open jail in May while on day release last year despite a history of prison escapes .

But the Prisoners' Advice Service, a charity offering free legal advice and support to adult prisoners, described the absconder policy as a 'knee jerk reaction' by Mr Grayling. The charity said in a statement: 'The Secretary of State's contention that he is entitled to ignore and contradict his own policy guidance demonstrates either his ignorance or flagrant disregard for basic legal principles of consistency and transparency in public decision making.

Known as 'Ogle-2014-BLG-0124Lb,' the gas giant was detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Ogle Warsaw Telescope in Chile. The planet is half as massive as Jupiter and could help astronomers gain a better understanding of the distribution of planets in the Milky Way. Astronomers have spotted one of the most distant planets ever found. Known as 'Ogle-2014-BLG-0124Lb,' the gas giant was detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Ogle Warsaw Telescope in Chile. Most of the planets we know about are around 10-100 times closer . The planet was discovered using a technique known as microlensing. This happens when one star happens to pass in front of another, and its gravity acts as a lens to magnify and brighten the more distant star's light. If that foreground star happens to have a planet in orbit around it, the planet might cause a blip in the magnification. Astronomers are using these blips to find and characterise planets tens of thousands of light-years away in the central bulge of our galaxy, where star crossings are more common. Most of the planets we know about are around 10-100 times closer than Ogle-2014-BLG-0124, claims Jennifer Yee of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. 'We don't know if planets are more common in our galaxy's central bulge or the disk of the galaxy, which is why these observations are so important,' she added.

+{"article": "When high-energy electrons and ions from the sun hit Earth\u2019s upper atmosphere, they can excite atoms and create fantastic colours - which we see on the ground as auroras. And now a study has claimed that we could create our own auroras, by firing a particle accelerator into the sky from space. The intriguing research says that a beam fired from the machine would create artificial auroras \u2013 and it could even create lightning in the atmosphere. Scientists in California have described how to create artificial auroras on Earth. They said a particle accelerator could be sent 185 miles (300km) up into space (illustration of a satellite in orbit shown). It would then fire high-energy beams back at Earth's atmosphere . The study, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, was picked up by Mark Zastrow from Eos. The accelerator being proposed would be three times stronger than anything like it before, producing a beam with particles 0.5 to 10 million electron volts. Pulses of the beam would last just 0.1 microseconds. The accelerator would be located in space, 185 miles (300km) above the ground, and would fire back towards Earth's atmosphere. There are two types of auroras on Earth - the Aurora Borealis in the Northern Hemisphere, known as the Northern Lights, and the Aurora Australis in the Southern Hemisphere, known as the Southern Lights. Auroras occur when highly charged electrons from the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the earth's atmosphere at altitudes from 20 to 200 miles (32 to 320km) above the planet\u2019s surface. The interactions between the charged particles give off light. Auroral displays appear in many colours: red, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The color of the aurora depends on which atom is struck, and the altitude of the meeting. The common green hue is caused by colliding oxygen molecules at altitudes of up to 150 miles (240km). It would be based on a instrument called the Compact Particle Accelerator for Space Science (Compass), which is being developed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and SRI International, both in California. \u2018The authors say that employing such instrumentation would offer many scientific opportunities to study the behaviour of particles in the upper atmosphere,\u2019 wrote Mr Zastrow. \u2018The paths of the electrons would trace out the arcing field lines of Earth\u2019s magnetic field, illustrating how they bend and snap during the intense geomagnetic activity caused by solar storms. \u2018As they descend into the Earth\u2019s atmosphere, some of the electrons would strike atmospheric molecules, producing visible aurora-like emission.\u2019 He added that the beam might even be able to trigger different forms of lightning, including red sprites and blue jets. For now the idea is only a concept, and there are no concrete plans to build it. But the team says that by proving it works, it could be a step towards actually making it.

Her blue salbutamol inhaler was uncapped in her bag, and she heard a \u2018coarse rattle\u2019 when she shook it. Despite this, she ignored the noise, believing it was due to a loose connection inside the device. The 41-year-old Australian woman had a medical emergency on New Year's Eve after inhaling an earring into her lungs. An X-ray shows the earring lodged in her right bronchus - the airway leading to the lungs . Doctors put a thin tube with a camera on the end known as an endoscope into the woman's lung, which showed the earring was covered in mucus (pictured) She took a deep inspiration, but immediately felt a painful scratch in her throat. She began coughing up blood, wheezing and became short of breath, and was rushed by ambulance to the A&E department of St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, the report said. When she arrived, doctors ordered a chest X-ray, and saw something was wrong straight away. There was a mass that had \u2018features consistent with a stud earring\u2019, and a CT scan confirmed the earring was stuck in the woman\u2019s right bronchus, one of the two main airways leading to the lungs. Doctors prescribed antibiotics to prevent any infection and then put a long, thin tube with a camera on the end into her throat - in a procedure known as an endoscopy.

All services - such as medical, fire and refuse - would operate voluntarily, with the overall idea being that the nation's perfectly capable citizens would eventually work out the correct level of taxation and the right service requirements for a fully-functioning nation, without the levels being set by the state. 'We really felt restricted. We really felt under pressure,' Mr Jedlicka told Fox News. 'We really feel that Europe needs another tax haven. We need a place where people can prosper,' he added. During the phone interview Mr Jedlicka said: 'We couldn't make our government lower taxes. I tried hard to tell my politicians that we need to lower taxes. That we need to lower regulation.

Her daughter, Jessica Mejia, was killed in the early hours of December 31, 2009 when her ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Sord, lost control of the car they were traveling in and smashed into a pole.

By doing so, the deputies intentionally caused emotional distress to the victim's family, they say. 'This was a young lady that just died and was treated with less dignity than a deer carcass you find on the side of the road,' family attorney Don Perry told the Tribune. Mrs Mejia added that the photos had left her feeling 'violated' and she accused the deputies' actions of perpetuating false rumors that the car had crashed because her daughter was on top of Sord.

Fourteen others were convicted on the same charges, with most also sentenced to 20 years in jail. Scroll down for video . Jailed: Egypt's former president Mohamed Morsi (pictured at an court appearance in December) has been sentenced to 20 years for ordering the arrest and torture of protesters in 2012 . But the court cleared the defendants on charges of inciting murder over the deaths of a journalist and two protesters during the December 5, 2012 clashes outside the presidential palace in Cairo. Defence lawyers said they would launch an appeal against the convictions. Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, came to power following the 2011 ouster of Hosni Mubarak in a popular uprising. But after just a year in power, Morsi was himself toppled by then-army chief and now President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi following mass street protests. Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has been blacklisted and targeted in a government crackdown that has seen hundreds killed and thousands thrown in jail. Other Brotherhood leaders have been sentenced to death and Tuesday's decision to acquit Morsi on the incitement to murder charge was unexpected. 'This is a surprise... We were expecting them to be convicted of murder,' Ramy Ghanem, a lawyer for an anti-Morsi protester who was wounded in the clashes, told AFP. Buses were set ablaze during 2012 clashes between opponents and supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Mediterranean coastal city of Alexandria . 'But the sentences are not bad. We were expecting life in prison, but then 20 years is not very different,' he said. A life sentence in Egypt is 25 years. Hundreds of Morsi supporters have been sentenced to death in speedy mass trials which the United Nations has called 'unprecedented in recent history'. Earlier this month, a Cairo court confirmed death sentences for Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie and 13 others over protest violence. The Brotherhood had called for protests in support of Morsi on Tuesday. 'The coup commander is exploiting the judiciary,' it said in a statement ahead of the verdict, referring to Sisi. It said the president was using the courts 'as a weapon in the battle against the popular will and the democratic and revolutionary legitimacy represented by President Mohamed Morsi.' Morsi is facing two other trials in which he could face the death penalty, including one that sees him accused of spying for foreign powers. Verdicts in those two cases are due on May 16. Sisi has vowed to 'eradicate' the Brotherhood, an 85-year-old movement that topped successive polls between Mubarak's fall and Morsi's presidential election victory in May 2012.

Some of them are more than a metre in length, indicating the size of some of the vast beasts that roamed the area in the upper cretaceous period - a time in which the majority of dinosaurs lived. At first glance, it appears that large dinosaurs such as the Titanosaurs and armoured Ankylosauruses hauled their considerable bulks up the incredibly steep slope, which measures one mile (1.5km).

Measuring 5ft (1.5 metres) wide, they were made by long-necked sauropods 150 million years ago and were found in chalky sediment in the Jura plateau of eastern France. It's thought the Late Jurassic dinosaurs were more than 75 ft (23 metres) long and weighed up to 40 tonnes.

The area was not mountainous when the dinosaurs were alive and the region had lots of water and islands, meaning the tracks were preserved by the sea and sediment. This activity thrust a huge slab of earth upwards, which dried into limestone and now resembles a cliff face.

A state investigation was launched following complaints from two large agencies that supply water to arid farmland in the Central Valley and to millions of residents as far south as San Diego. Delta farmers don't deny using as much water as they need. But they say they're not stealing it because their history of living at the water's edge gives them that right. Still, they have been asked to report how much water they're pumping and to prove their legal rights to it. Scroll down for video .

Resources: Rudy Mussi watches his grandson, Lorenzo, 20 months, tries to turn a water valve on his almond orchard in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (March 2015 file photo) At issue is California's century-old water rights system that has been based on self-reporting and little oversight, historically giving senior water rights holders the ability to use as much water as they need, even in drought. Gov. Jerry Brown has said that if drought continues this system built into California's legal framework will probably need to be examined. Delta farmer Rudy Mussi says he has senior water rights, putting him in line ahead of those with lower ranking, or junior, water rights. 'If there's surplus water, hey, I don't mind sharing it,' Mussi said. 'I don't want anybody with junior water rights leapfrogging my senior water rights just because they have more money and more political clout.' The fight pitting farmer against farmer is playing out in the Delta, the hub of the state's water system. With no indication of the drought easing, heightened attention is being placed on dwindling water throughout the state, which produces nearly half of the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the U.S. A large inland estuary east of San Francisco, the Delta is fed by rivers of freshwater flowing down from the Sierra Nevada and northern mountain ranges. Located at sea level, it consists of large tracts of farmland separated by rivers that are subject to tidal ebbs and flows. Most of the freshwater washes out to the Pacific Ocean through the San Francisco Bay. Some is pumped \u2014 or diverted \u2014 by Delta farmers to irrigate their crops, and some is sent south though canals to Central Valley farmers and to 25 million people statewide. The drought now in its fourth year has put Delta water under close scrutiny. Twice last year state officials feared salty bay water was backing up into the Delta, threatening water quality. There was not enough fresh water to keep out saltwater.

+{"article": "He has been painted by history as a wicked hunchback, but Richard III kept the disease that curved his spine secret through out his life, a historian has claimed. The last Plantagenet king of England was described by William Shakespeare as a 'poisonous bunch-back'd toad' in his play depicting the monarch. But research on the king's skeleton discovered under a council car park in Leicester revealed that this may have been an exaggeration of a spine deformity known as scoliosis. Scroll down for video . Richard III's skeleton found under a car park in Leicester was found to a distinctive scoliosisof the spine . Now a new academic paper claims that even this condition, which caused one of his shoulders to be slightly higher than the other, was probably not known about until after his death. Dr Mary Ann Lund, from the University of Leicester's school of English, said tailoring and specially fitted armour probably helped to disguise the curve in his spine. The genetic analysis showed that Richard III almost certainly had blue eyes and likely had blonde hair - although it may have darkened with age. Richard III was depicted by William Shakespeare as a tyrannical hunchback who murdered two princes in the Tower of London. But scans of the king's skeleton show he wasn't a hunchback, but only had a slight deformity that would have barely affected his appearance or prowess on the field of battle. The notorious description by Shakespeare of a \u2018hunchback toad\u2019, a Machiavellian villain suffering a twisted body, a limp and withered arm, was almost certainly an attempt to blacken his reputation, experts claim. Instead, a 3D reconstruction of the king\u2019s spine shows 65 to 85 degrees of \u2018scoliosis\u2019, or sideways bending of his spine to the right. The condition, which would have developed in his early teens, means he was very far from being a hunchback. Despite having one shoulder slightly higher than the other and a short trunk in comparison with his arms and legs, there is no evidence he walked with a limp. She said: 'It is highly likely that Richard took care to control his public image. 'The body of the king was part of the propaganda of power, and even when it was revealed in order to be anointed as part of his coronation ceremony it was simultaneously concealed from the congregation. 'Tailoring probably kept the signs of his scoliosis hidden to spectators outside the royal household of attendants, servants and medical staff who dressed, bathed and tended to the monarch's body.' Writing in the journal Medical Humanities, Dr Lund argues that like other monarchs Richard III's body image would have been carefully controlled. It was only after his death at the battle of Bosworth in 1485 that his physical shape was made public when his corpse was stripped and displayed. Dr Lund said that it was this treatment that later led to his reputation as a hunchback - something that was later picked up by Shakespeare.

Most of our most successful comedians sneer at the party leaders. So you might imagine that the Scots could cope with a few harmless jibes about their own First Minister. Wrong, wrong, wrong. All the pollsters agree that the SNP is destined to win the vast majority of the seats (up to 50) North of the Border in the General Election, crushing the Tories and trouncing Labour.

United Airlines stopped a prominent security researcher from boarding a California-bound flight late Saturday, following a social media post by the researcher days earlier suggesting the airline's onboard systems could be hacked. The researcher, Chris Roberts, attempted to board a United flight from Colorado to San Francisco to speak at a major security conference there this week, but was stopped by the airline's corporate security at the gate. Roberts founded One World Labs, which tries to discover security risks before they are exploited. Roberts had been removed from a United flight on Wednesday by the FBI after landing in Syracuse, New York, and was questioned for four hours after jokingly suggesting on Twitter he could get the oxygen masks on the plane to deploy. Authorities also seized Roberts' laptop and other electronics, although his lawyer says he hasn't seen a search warrant. A lawyer for Roberts said United gave him no detailed explanation on Saturday why he wasn't allowed on the plane, saying instead the airline would be sending Roberts a letter within two weeks stating why they wouldn't let him fly on their aircraft. 'Given Mr. Roberts' claims regarding manipulating aircraft systems, we've decided it's in the best interest of our customers and crew members that he not be allowed to fly United,' airline spokesman Rahsaan Johnson told The Associated Press. 'However, we are confident our flight control systems could not be accessed through techniques he described.'

But even if that does not happen, Pardew, whose side host relegation strugglers Hull City on Saturday, is adamant that he will be backed by chairman Steve Parish. The former Newcastle boss was able to make five permanent signings in January and will look to add several more when the transfer window re-opens. Pardew added: \u2019To be honest, the chairman is as much banging on my door as I am his. The most important thing is we get good value.\u2019 While Palace may seek to break the \u00a37million club transfer record set with the September 2014 arrival of James McArthur from Wigan, Pardew is loath to do so lightly. Palace broke their club transfer record in September 2014 when they splashed out \u00a37m on James McArthur . 'It isn't just about the money and isn't just about the figure that you pay,' said Pardew. 'It really is about are they better than what you have. 'Therefore what is their value?

Craig, 54, is on hormone therapy for prostate cancer, which starves cancer cells by reducing levels of testosterone in the body - and has the side-effect of hot flushes. 'I have about ten to 12 flushes a day, and six to eight at night,' says Craig, a Yorkshireman who lives in Watford, Hertfordshire, with wife Sue, a teacher, 52, and their three children, George, 22, Evie, 20, and Joseph, 18. Craig, 54, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012. He is now well and his tumours have shrunk . 'I know when one's coming. The feeling suddenly builds up as if you've gone into a sauna. Within minutes I'm in full sweat. Five or ten minutes later, it's gone.' Craig has taken to carrying a spare shirt in his briefcase when he goes to meet clients. 'I'll turn up to a lunch and suddenly have a hot sweat and my shirt will be soaked,' he says. 'I nip off to the loos and have a wash and change.' Hormone therapy, usually given in the form of regular injections or implants, is the first treatment offered to men with advanced prostate cancer - where the cancer has spread beyond the prostate. It can't cure the cancer, but can help keep it under control. Hormone therapy is also given alongside radiotherapy to some men with localised prostate cancer to shrink the cancer and make it easier to treat. The jabs typically contain drugs called luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) blockers. These act on the pituitary gland in the brain, to stop the production of hormones which are released into the bloodstream and bind with cells in the testicles to make testosterone. Even though the cancer is now microscopic he is still taking hormone treatment . The majority of prostate cancers rely on the hormone to grow. Lowering the amount in the body means it's less able to spread. In England alone, 13,000 men receive the treatment every year - in the form of jabs given monthly or every three months according to the charity Prostate Cancer UK. However, blocking testosterone can cause a variety of side-effects, explains Ali Rooke, a specialist nurse at the charity. 'Testosterone is a man's natural source of energy, so along with hot flushes we often see fatigue. It also has an important role in sexual function, so there can be a loss of libido,' she says. 'There can be mood swings and depression; some men also report breast swelling, nipple tenderness and weight gain around the middle. All of these are similar to what women go through during the menopause, when levels of their equivalent hormone, oestrogen, start to fall.' Hormone therapy also raises the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and can cause bone thinning, because testosterone is important for bone density. Studies by Prostate Cancer UK have found that 80 per cent of men having hormone therapy will suffer hot flushes,", "summary": "Craig Lister, 54, from Watford, is on hormone therapy for prostate cancer .

But one mother-to-be had to give up much more than that for the sake of her unborn daughter. Lynn, from Chippenham, had to stop taking medication that enables her to move without pain as she suffers from a painful and crippling condition callled hip displasia. Lynn and husband Liam tried for a baby for three years so when she fell pregnant, she didn't want to take any risks so stopped taking pain relief for her scoliosis and hip dysplasia symptoms . The condition means the ball and socket joint of her hip has not formed properly, which causes pain when she moves. She also has scoliosis (curvature of the spine). Due to her disabilities, Lynn has to walk with a crutch around the home and uses a wheelchair when out and about. She also needs to take painkillers to give her some respite from the daily discomfort. But after becoming pregnant with a baby girl after three years of trying to conceive with husband, Liam, Lynn chose to stop taking the drugs for the time she carried their baby. She made the brave decision even though the weight of her baby bump put extra strain on her joints. 'I decided I would stop taking my painkillers when pregnant as there wasn't 100 per cent proof it would all be okay for baby so I stopped to be on the safe side,' she explained on My Extraordinary Pregnancy, which airs tonight on TLC.

+{"article": "When it comes to DIY stereotypes suggest that men are more adept than women. But new research has revealed that females may actually be better at mastering the use of tools - at least among chimpanzees. Researchers have found that female chimps are more likely to use the tools to help them hunt for food while males tend to prefer capturing prey with their hands. Scroll down for video . Primatologists at Iowa State University recorded 300 hunts by chimps in Fongoli, S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, and found female chimps were using tools to capture prey in 60 per cent of the observations. This female chimp has stripped a stick of leaves and uses it to flush out a bush baby from a hollow tree trunk . While the findings may provoke some to reassess their view of the opposite sex, the research may also provide tantalising hints at how humans first learned to use weapons to hunt. It suggests that early female humans were perhaps the first to begin fashioning simple tools to help them catch prey. It has been known that chimpanzees use tools like humans for more than 50 years. In 1960, Jane Goodall witnessed two chimps using twigs to fish for termites in the ground. This was the first time that an animal was observed to make a tool and use it for a specific purpose, other than humans. It was later found that the Gombe chimps use twigs, leaves and rocks in nine different ways to feed, drink, clean themselves, reach other objects and to fashion weapons. In communities outside Gombe National Park, communities make different tools. Chimpanzees make sponges by chewing leaves and dipping them into puddles of water so they can use them as drinking vessels. They have been observed using sticks and rocks to smash fruit and shells. Adult males sometimes hurl rocks and sticks like make-shift spears to intimidate rivals. This study said that chimps use shoots from Alchornea hirtella to hunt aggressive army ants in a specific way. It is thought that the behaviour is passed from one generation to the next and is learned by young chimpanzees. Writing in the journal Royal Society Open Science, Dr Jill Pruetz, a primatologist at Iowa State University said: 'Savannah-dwelling chimpanzees at Fongoli, S\u00e9n\u00e9gal, are the only non-human population known to systematically hunt vertebrate prey with tools. 'Acquiring vertebrate prey via tool use at Fongoli supports the hypothesis that early hominins intensified their tool technology to overcome environmental pressures and that even the earliest hominins were probably sophisticated enough to fashion tools for hunting. 'The behaviour of these chimpanzees demonstrates that hunting is less adult male-biased among our closest living relatives than previously believed when tools are used. 'If tool use enabled early hominins to reduce the need for physical characteristics (i.e. greater size, strength) to achieve hunting efficiency, such sexual dimorphism ultimately becomes less important regarding prey acquisition.' Scientists first reported chimps using spear-like sticks to hunt prey at Fongoli in Senegal in 2007, and it was later filmed by the BBC in their hugely successful natural", "summary": "Researchers recorded chimps hunting with tools at Fongoli in S\u00e9n\u00e9gal . Tool use was spotted on 300 occasions and 60% was by females . Male chimps did more hunting but tended to capture prey with their hands . The findings may provide clues as to how humans first learned to use tools ."}

Kim Ki-jong, 55, was also indicted Wednesday on charges of assaulting a foreign envoy and obstruction, according to an official at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, who did not want to be named, citing department rules. On Monday, the recovering diplomat, Mark Lippert, was pictured out on the streets of Seoul flanked by five bodyguards. His left hand is still in a cast from the attack. South Korean law requires the trial to start within 14 days, and there is a possibility that it could start as early as next week, according to an official at the Seoul Central District Court, who didn't want to be named, citing office rules. He said it was too early to comment on the potential penalties Kim could face. US Ambassador Mark Lippert was pictured with five bodyguards on Wednesday, following the attack that left his arm in a cast . Lippert required 80 stitches to close up the wounds on his hand, arm and face that he sustained from the anti-US activist . Victim: U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert, pictured on March 10, was allegedly slashed by Kim KI-jong at a breakfast forum on March 5 . Charged: South Korean maverick political activist Kim Ki-Jong, who faces possible attempted murder charges after slashing US Ambassador Mark Lippert, as he leaves a police station for a court in Seoul on March 6 . Alleged attacker: Kim Ki-jong is pictured being arrested at the site where U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert was attacked on March 5, 2015 in Seoul, South Korea . Prosecutors have also been investigating whether Kim violated a controversial law that bans praise or assistance for North Korea. The court official said it was possible prosecutors may add such charges against Kim during the trial. Police say Kim attacked Ambassador Mark Lippert with a knife during a breakfast forum on March 5. He suffered deep gashes on his face and arm and was treated at a Seoul hospital for five days. Lippert, 42, was bleeding from deep wounds to his face and wrist but was able to walk after the attack. Doctors said later his condition was stable after 'very successful' surgery that required 80 stitches in his face as the White House expressed optimism for his quick return to his duties. Police say Kim chose Lippert as a target to highlight his opposition to ongoing U.S.-South Korean military drills. North Korea has angrily reacted to the drills, calling them an invasion rehearsal. Anti-U.S. activists such as Kim have long blamed the presence of 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in the South as a deterrent to the North for the continuing split of the Korean Peninsula. In 2010, Kim tried to attack the Japanese ambassador to South Korea by throwing a piece of concrete and was given a suspended jail term, according to police.

+{"article": "The reserve deputy who shot a suspect dead after firing his gun instead of his Taser was investigated in 2009 over his questionable training and erratic behavior in the field. Robert Bates, 73, appeared in Tulsa district court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to second-degree manslaughter over the death of Eric Harris, who was killed during a botched sting on April 2. Since the incident there have been allegations Bates was not properly trained and it is now emerged that when previously confronted by other deputies over his behavior, he told them he could do whatever he wanted. Scroll down for video . Heading to court: Robert Bates, left, is seen walking to court on Tuesday morning with his attorney Corbin Brewster, right, before he entered his not-guilty plea in the death of Eric Harris earlier this month . 'Mistake': The 73-year-old reserve deputy claims he mistakenly pulled out his gun instead of his Taser and shot dead the man as he fled the scene of an undercover operation on April 2 . In 2009, the Tulsa Sheriff's Office concluded after an internal investigation that Bates had received special treatment during training and while working as a reserve deputy, CBS News reports. The investigation found that other deputies raised concerns about Bates' behavior in the field, almost from the start of his tenure. He was said to have used his personal car while on duty and made unauthorized vehicle stops. The inquiry came to the conclusion that high-ranking officers created an atmosphere where employees were intimidated about reporting violations of department policy. Dan Smolen, the attorney for Eric Harris, claimed that if the investigation's findings had been acted on in 2009 Harris might still be alive. He told CBS News: 'I think there are so many people who look on at so much corruption it's more than just a couple of people.' Charged: Bates (left in his mug shot) shot Harris (pictured right) and faces four years in prison if convicted . A spokesman for the Tulsa Sheriff acknowledged that some type of internal review was conducted, but that there was no further action taken. Sheriff Stanley Glanz said this week he believes that Bates received his required training. Bates, a Tulsa County volunteer, shot Harris, 44, after the man was confronted during an undercover gun-sale operation and ran past him. Video of the incident shows Bates chasing after Harris. In an attempt to subdue him, Bates went to grab his Taser, but was unaware he had actually pulled out his gun instead. In the disturbing clip, which was released by the sheriff's office, Bates can be heard shouting 'Taser! Taser!' When the gunshot goes off, he says: 'I shot him! I'm sorry.' The fatally-wounded father can be heard saying: 'Oh my god, he shot me! He shot me! He shot me, man' before adding: 'Oh, my god. I'm losing my breath!'

In Manchester, where 240 machines are still not upgraded, motorists without old-style coins must use \u00a31 and two 20p pieces for a typical \u00a31.25 hour's parking - handing the council a 15p profit.

The council also charges \u00a31.85 for an hour and a half and \u00a33.10 for two hours and 30 minutes, meaning that drivers without the right coins must overpay for them too. Nationwide there are 100,000 parking meters yet several councils are still yet to upgrade them to accept the three-year-old 5p and 10p coins. Many local authorities don't use machines that offer change because they could become targets for theft. Experts fear the problem could become even worse when the new 12-sided pound coin is released in 2017. This is because their hourly charges often end in 5p and 10p yet the machines do not accept new five or 10p coins, making it impossible for drivers to pay the exact fee. Manchester drivers have demanded refunds and want to know why the council is yet to upgrade its machines. Darren Edwards, 42, was forced to overpay for his parking as the machine could not take the correct change. He said: 'I know it is not much but if you think how often those parking spots are used, and if everyone is over paying that soon adds up.' Coin chaos: The 5p and 10p pieces introduced three years ago are slightly thicker than the old ones, which means that a considerable number of machines still reject them .

+{"article": "Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini believes the club may need to splash out again this summer to keep pace with their rivals. With hopes of retaining the Barclays Premier League crown looking increasingly forlorn, City have again failed to build on a title success. They were hampered last summer, however, with their punishment for breaching the Financial Fair Play regulations of European governing body UEFA including a \u00a349million net spending cap. Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insists his side must splash the cash in the summer . Pellegrini has said Manchester City must sign a 'crack' player such as striker Sergio Aguero . Man City are currently fourth in the Premier League . A return to the heavy spending of the era immediately after Sheikh Mansour's 2008 takeover is clearly not an option, for fear of invoking even tougher sanctions, but Pellegrini has warned they cannot stay idle. Pellegrini recently spoke of a need to sign a 'crack' player - in other words a superstar of the calibre of striker Sergio Aguero - and has now suggested this summer is the time to do it. The Chilean, whose side have slipped to fourth place ahead of Monday's trip to Crystal Palace, said: '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. 'I'm not just talking about Manchester City. You see Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich - all the big clubs - they all do it. It is important to have big names.' Given the general disappointments of last summer's principle signings - Fernando, Bacary Sagna and Eliaquim Mangala - Pellegrini's words could be perceived as a plea for more cash. But when pushed further, Pellegrini, perhaps not surprisingly given that his own position could be uncertain, would not say whether a spending spree might be sanctioned. Pellegrini still believes his Manchester City side are capable of retaining the Premier Legaue title . He said: 'I don't want to talk about (plans) for next season because we have to finish this season. It is very important the way we finish this season before we analyse all the players. So it is not the right moment to talk about it.' Pellegrini's immediate concern is his side's league position.

Scientists say they have detected the gases used in anaesthetic as far a field as Antarctica and concentrations have been rising globally in the past decade. The gases - desflurane, isoflurane and sevoflurane - are potent greenhouse gases that have 2,500 times the impact on global warming compared to carbon dioxide. Anaesthetic is used to send patients to sleep during surgery (above) but it may also be warming the planet . Atmospheric scientists who have been monitoring the gases say that while the concentrations in the atmosphere are low, they are having an increasing effect on the climate. Dr Martin Vollmer, who led the study at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Material Science and Technology in Dubendorf, Switzerland, said the anaesthetic gases were capable of storing far more energy from the sun than carbon dioxide. The world needs to prepare itself for a rapid increase in the speed of climate change, scientists have warned. Researchers have found evidence that suggests the rate at which temperatures are rising in the northern hemisphere could be 0.25\u00b0C per decade by 2020 - a level not seen for at least 1,000 years. The analysis, based on a combination of data from more than two dozen climate simulation models from around the world, looked at the rate of change in 40-year long time spans. Over the 900 years preceding the 20th century, 40-year warming trends rarely showed an average rate much higher than 0.1\u00b0C per decade, the study found. But by 2020 the rate was expected to have risen to an average of 0.25\u00b0C per decade, give or take 0.05\u00b0C. Different scenarios of future emissions showed that even at the lower end of greenhouse gas generation climate change picked up speed in the next 40 years.

'Modern halogenated inhalation anesthetics undergo little metabolisation during clinical application and evaporate almost completely to the atmosphere.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, found that concentrations of desflurane reached 0.30 parts per trillion in 2014. Isoflurane, sevoflurane and halothane have reached 0.097, 0.13 and 0.0092 parts per trillion in the atmosphere respectively.

She knows how much she is loved,' Sonia says. Anencephaly occurs between the third and fourth weeks of pregnancy. During that time, the neural tube is supposed to close and fold over to form the brain and spinal cord of the fetus. This process fails to occur in anencephalic pregnancies, resulting in the absence of a large portion of the brain, skull and scalp. Babies born with anencephaly are usually blind, deaf, unconcious and unable to feel pain. They are usually stillborn but in rare cases they may survive longer. The rate of anencephaly is one or two per 10,000 births. Sonia says her other daughter is aware that her little sister is sick.

A fight over stolen vegetables may have led to a British expat being murdered and dumped at the bottom of a well, French police fear. The macabre theory has been outlined by detectives investigating the killing of David King, a 70-year-old pensioner from Newham, east London, who retired to Normandy 15 years ago. His body was found by sniffer dogs last week in the picturesque hamlet of Pierres, south-west of Caen, and an unnamed 28-year-old Frenchman has been charged with his murder. The alleged killer was living rough in the area, and is thought to have been behind a number of thefts in the area. Now prosecutor Carole Etienne has said that Mr King, a keen gardener, may well have confronted the man over stolen vegetables. Ms Etienne, who is leading the police enquiry, said: \u2018Among the vague attempts at an explanation given by the accused, we are looking at the possibility of a fight over the theft of foodstuffs. \u2018In one night, a whole plot of leeks might disappear.

Family and neighbours of Mr King have attacked detectives for allowing his suspected murderer to remain at large for six months. Interpol, the international police organisation, had initially refused to open a missing person\u2019s enquiry.

The court heard Simon murdered Mr Spalding, known as Spud, by stabbing him in the neck at the flat they shared in Smethwick, Birmingham, on April 26 last year. He then hacked the body up and stuffed the head, limbs and tools into a suitcase. Police found his remains when a narrow boat owner spotted one suitcase, containing Mr Spalding's torso, floating in the Birmingham Canal on May 5. It was examined by a Canal Trust contractor on May 12, who opened the case to discover the gruesome evidence. Police divers recovered the second case which contained Mr Spalding's head, limbs and tools - below Pope Bridge, Smethwick, on May 16. Further searches of the canal bed uncovered a hacksaw which was used to saw off Mr Spalding's head. Using futuristic 3D scanning technology experts were able to show a perfect jigsaw fit between the charred bone and a severed limb found in the suitcase. The same technique - which provides image resolution 43,000 times more detailed that a hospital CT scan - proved a link between the hacksaw and lacerations found on other bones. Mr Spalding's body parts were found inside this suitcase, which was dumped in the Birmingham Canal . A second suitcase (pictured) containing Mr Spalding's grisly remains was discovered 11 days later . Drag marks were also found on the towpath near Pope's Bridge where Simon and Bird dumped the suitcases into the canal. Unemployed Simon, who has convictions for robbery, burglary, theft and supplying drugs, moved to Derby in a bid to evade police but was arrested with Bird on May 19. He denied knowledge of Mr Spalding's death, claiming he threw him out following a row over a car crash, but later admitted assaulting him during a fight. Neighbours reported seeing a bonfire in the garden and when officers raided the home they discovered part of a humerus bone inside the drum.

'She spanked the victim on the bottom with a hand, then with a training shoe. 'This was some sort of sexual fantasy the two discussed before the act took place.

Western diets and an emphasis on sterile, germ-free food has made us more likely to allergies, new research suggests. A lack of bacteria in the gut means we are less equipped to deal with germs - meaning that our bodies often overreact when we come into contact with bugs, dust or pollen. The findings bolster the theory that modern obsession with hygiene and cleanliness has driven a boom in allergies and health problems. According to the \u2018hygiene hypothesis\u2019, exposure to a wide range of bacteria is necessary to prime the immune system early in life. Many scientists believe that modern society, with its mania for sanitation and easy access to antibiotics, makes us hypersensitive to harmless allergens. The latest work, published today in the journal Cell Reports, compared the bacteria in the guts of people from the US and Papua New Guinea - one of the least industrialised nations on Earth. The research, by Canadian and Australian scientists, found that people in the US had far smaller collection of bacteria - called the \u2018microbiome\u2019 - than people from Papua New Guinea. Study author Jens Walter, of the University of Alberta in Canada, said: \u2018There are several aspects of western lifestyle that have been hypothesized to alter the gut microbiome and decrease diversity. \u2018These include diet, sanitation, and clinical practices such as antibiotic use and caesarean sections, but we lack a conceptual understanding of how our microbiomes are altered.\u2019 The research team found that Papua New Guineans have vastly different compositional profiles compared with US residents. Americans lacked 50 different bacterial types present in most Papua New Guineans. Professor Walter said: \u2018These findings suggest that lifestyle practices that reduce bacterial dispersal - specifically sanitation and drinking water treatment - might be an important cause of microbiome alterations. \u2018We propose a model based on ecological theory that fits the data and provides an explanation for the decline of microbiota diversity in urban-industrialized societies.\u2019 The scientists insisted that treating food and water is still vital - reducing the number of illnesses and deaths from bacterial infections. A lack of bacteria in the gut means we are less equipped to deal with germs - meaning that our bodies often overreact when we come into contact with bugs, dust or pollen (file photo) But they said that Western diets may have contributed to increases in some chronic diseases. Asthma, peanut allergies and hayfever are examples of allergic conditions that have been linked by previous research to the problems caused by insufficient bacteria in the gut. Co-author Andrew Greenhill, a senior lecturer in microbiology at Federation University Australia, said: \u2018We can think about how we can reduce the collateral damage of modern lifestyle practices on the gut microbiome without jeopardizing the benefits. \u2018The findings from this study provide information that could be used to develop strategies to prevent and redress the impact of westernization and potentially support the dispersal and transmission of microbes that have", "summary": "Lack of bacteria in the gut means we are less equipped to deal with germs .

The boiled-legume dish was removed from his bags, along with several Greggs pies. Pease pudding is a traditional dish made with split peas and a favourite in the North East of England . The 58-year-old, who previously appeared in the BBC TV series Blackadder, was surprised at the mix-up. 'I love my pease pudding,' he told The Mirror. 'I think the resemblance to Semtex was pushing it a bit far as it was in containers marked pease pudding.' Security staff told the traveller his pease pudding could 'technically' be classed as Semtex . However, the traveller did admit he was carrying six tubs of the pudding along with pies from the Greggs bakery - which became synonymous with the 'pasty tax' introduced and then scrapped by Chancellor George Osborne in 2012. After being told that the consistency of the pudding could see it 'technically' classed as Semtex, he reportedly offered to let security taste the delicacy to prove it wasn't. Luckily for the pease-lover, who lives in Sussex, he was allowed through with his snacks and was simply warned to pack them in hold luggage the next time he was travelling. The traveller has also placed several Greggs pies in his hand luggage for the journey . An customs spokeswoman said: 'There is no customs policy with regard to pease pudding so far as I am aware.' When MailOnline contacted a Newcastle Airport spokeswoman, she said they do not comment on security matters. It is not the first time unusual items have been picked up by airport security scanners. Stansted Airport has previously confiscated items including furry handcuffs, while two Italian women were stopped at Munich Airport, in Germany for trying to transport a human skeleton belonging to a dead relative.

Mr Hunt said: \u2018The NHS has set out its vision for how we best improve the health service for patients, and today we are backing that plan with the money it needs. But we can only have a strong NHS if we have a strong economy. \u2018We need to do much more to ensure our vulnerable elderly can be treated in the community.

The decision to back the \u2018Stevens plan\u2019 is designed to neutralise Labour attacks on the issue.

Fuller has also been banned from keeping animals for five years and had her 27 other dogs confiscated. Chairman of the bench Anthony Ealden said if Tango had been taken to the vet earlier 'unnecessary suffering' could have been avoided.

Decades of cheap package holidays mean that thousands of retired people every year are paying with their health for sunburn they experienced in their youth. According to Cancer Research UK, men aged 65 and over are around ten times more likely to be diagnosed with malignant melanoma than those of their parents\u2019 generation. Scroll down for video . Pensioners are seven times more likely to develop serious skin cancer today than they were 40 years ago, research shows . And older women are about five times more likely to develop this disease than someone of the same age were in the mid-1970s. Around 5,700 pensioners are now diagnosed with melanoma each year in the UK compared with just 600 a year four decades ago. Many of the patients being diagnosed today suffered cancer-causing sunburn when they were young, experts said last night. Although age is a major risk factor for melanoma, the huge increase is blamed on the cheap package holiday boom dating from the 1960s. Overall, 55.2 of every 100,000 people aged over 65 are diagnosed with skin cancer every year. In 1975 just 7.9 per 100,000 were diagnosed - a seven-fold increase. The figures are part of a worrying increase in incidents that affects all age groups. The continuing obsession with sporting a tan means the toll is likely to keep rising. Getting sunburnt once every two years can triple a person\u2019s risk of developing the disease, scientists suggest . Getting sunburnt once every two years can triple a person\u2019s risk of developing the disease, scientists suggest. Around 13,300 people across a wide range of ages are diagnosed with malignant melanoma in the UK each year making it the country\u2019s fifth most common cancer overall and the second most common cancer in young adults aged 15 to 34. And with sunbeds still very popular, the number of diagnoses is expected to rise to 20,000 a year by 2027. In 1975 the figure was just 1,800. Professor Richard Marais, Cancer Research UK\u2019s skin cancer expert: \u2018It\u2019s worrying to see melanoma rates increasing at such a fast pace, and across all age groups. \u2018It\u2019s very important for people to take care of their skin in the sun. \u2018It\u2019s also important for them to keep an eye on their skin and seek medical opinion if they see any changes to their moles, or even to normal areas of skin. \u2018Melanoma is often detected on men\u2019s backs and women\u2019s legs but can appear on any part of the body.\u2019 Each year, 2,100 Britons die from the disease.

His arrival, of course, was delayed by participation at the Africa Cup of Nations, but Bony has done little to breathe new life into City\u2019s stuttering season. There has been just one goal \u2013 the opener in a routine 3-0 home win over West Brom \u2013 and he has missed the last two matches \u2013 including the derby defeat at Manchester United \u2013 after turning an ankle in training. The former Swansea striker scored more Premier League goals than any other player in 2014 . He has started just two games and his involvement during the Champions League defeat to Barcelona was restricted to 18 minutes at the Nou Camp. Bony will have to hit the ground running next season or his days at City could soon be numbered. Mauro Zarate (QPR) Perhaps the Argentinian should have taken the hint when Harry Redknapp tried to send him back to West Ham before he had even kicked a ball for the R\u2019s. Mauro Zarate has failed to make an impression at Loftus Road during his loan . Premier League rules meant he had to stay and, four substitute appearances later, Zarate is yet to score or lay on a goal for his latest employers.

It has been assumed that the way KP outplayed the ECB's army of media personnel at every turn was because his agents, Mission Sports Management, had expert help guiding their strategy. But agent Adam Wheatley, co-founder of the company with Sir Ian Botham, insists that everything has been done in-house since the brief involvement of former Sun editor David Yelland during KP's supposed reintegration into the England team in 2012. Kevin Pietersen scored 170 for Surrey in The Parks as he bids to earn a recall to the England squad . Wheatley said: 'We have just sat down together as a team with Kevin and planned the best way forward. It does help on social media that KP has a Twitter following of nearly 2.5million. 'And the ECB have totally misread the situation. You can't just keep briefing against someone. There are always two sides to a story and I think people now realise this.' Wheatley, once on the same Grimsby Town board as new ECB chairman Colin Graves, added: 'Colin's words about KP's future England chances have been interpreted in different ways but we believe there's a clean slate.' Pietersen's agents have helped him outplay the ECB without any help from outside experts .

Also, his current title does not differ a great deal from the 'director of cricket' the ECB want to appoint and could easily lead to confusion over who is responsible for what. Ridiculously, Flower was kept on by the ECB on huge money \u2014 basically as a thank you for services rendered \u2014 when there should have been a clean break after the Ashes humiliation Down Under. Andy Flower continues to earn \u00a3300,000-a-year as the ECB's technical director despite his Ashes humiliation .

Southampton dug in a year ago to persuade Schneiderlin to stay on the south coast but it is going to be virtually impossible to keep him again given that the 25-year-old has been putting in Champions League-standard performances all season and is coming into his prime. DANNY INGS (Burnley) Wanted by: Liverpool, Manchester United Valued at: \u00a35m (compensation) The England Under 21 striker is out of contract in the summer and has no intention of staying at Turf Moor regardless of whether Burnley keep their Premier League status. Financially, he would make an excellent acquisition for a top club given the compensation for a Bosman would only be around a third of his true market value. Liverpool are interested - to sign a striker who turns 23 in July and who has scored nine Premier League goals this season, without having to pay a hefty transfer fee, is a no-brainer for the moneyball approach. But they face competition from United. Danny Ings is out of contract this summer and his scoring exploits have made him a target for top clubs . Burnley are resigned to losing Ings on a free and will only receive a modest compensation fee for him . NATHANIEL CLYNE (Southampton) Wanted by: Manchester United Valued at: \u00a317m .

+{"article": "They already have a fearsome reputation as the top predator of their time, but it seems the Tyrannosaurs were also prone to eating each other. A new study has uncovered evidence that a relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, called Daspletosaurus, may have indulged in cannibalism. Paleontologists have found bite marks on the fossilised skull of a juvenile Daspletosaurus, which lived around 75 million years ago. This artist's reconstruction shows a Daspletosaurus feeding on the body of another in an act of cannibalism . While some of the injuries appear to have been sustained during combat with other tyrannosaurs, others appear to have occurred after death. The scientists believe that another Daspletosaurus, which could grow to nine metres (30ft) as adults and weigh up to four tons, fed on the youngster's body. Tyrannosaurus rex and its relatives were more intelligent than previously thought and hunted in gangs which included young and older members, researchers have claimed. Scientists believe they have evidence that the top predatory dinosaurs were highly intelligent pack animals, despite T-rex being popularly depicted as a dangerous but dim-witted loner. This is a myth that has grown up because for many years their fossil skeletons tended to be found on their own, researchers say. The new theory follows an analysis of skeletons of the tyrannosaur Tarbosaurus bataar from 90 sites in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. Tarbosaurus, a cousin of T-rex that lived around 70 million years ago, was a two-legged predator up to 12 metres long and weighing five tonnes. At least half a dozen of the animals appear to have belonged to a single social group, including adults and juveniles, that died together. The findings help to shed light on the brutal world in which the dinosaurs inhabited. Dr David Hone, a paleontologist at Queen Mary University of London, who led the research said: 'This animal clearly had a tough life, suffering numerous injuries across the head including some that must have been quite nasty. 'The most likely candidate to have done this is another member of the same species, suggesting some serious fights between these animals during their lives.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal PeerJ, were examining the skull of a Daspletosaurus found in a quarry in the Dinosaur Provincial Park close to Calgary, Alberta in Canada in 1994. Daspletosaurus, which means 'frightful lizard', is thought to be a close relative of the more famous Tyrannosaurus rex and roamed north America between 77 million and 74 million years ago. With a massive, heavy skull that could be more than 3ft (1 metre) in length, it would have had a powerful bite and probably preyed on large armoured ceratopsid dinosaurs. The dinosaur latest study was thought to be a juvenile, measuring just under 19.7 feet (6 metres) and weighed around half a tonne. The researchers found numerous injuries on the skull, several of which appeared to match the teeth of tyrannosaurs.

Vardy was being criticised two years ago at Leicester but now is a pivotal part of their team . Jose Mourinho? Ronald Koeman? Sean Dyche? Not even close... Louis van Gaal should be crowned manager of the year . Manuel Pellegrini is punching above his weight at City... the club MUST think big or forever remain small . Two years ago Vardy was being hammered by Leicester fans who thought he was useless. The criticism was so bad the player started to doubt himself and admits he almost gave up football. Credit to Nigel Pearson and his staff \u2013 they supported their striker and pulled him through a tough time. A year later he was in the Premier League and picked up the Players\u2019 Player of the Year award at the club after a prolific season. With the top flight came new signings up front for Leicester. Last summer Leonardo Ulloa arrived, and then in January it was Croatia international Andrej Kramaric, the pair setting the Foxes back \u00a317million, and obviously Vardy has had to fight for his place. He\u2019s playing on the left this season and the goals have dried up \u2013 he\u2019s only scored three. But he is in the team on merit. At The Hawthorns on Saturday I witnessed a match-winning performance from the most expensive player ever to come from non-League football. Vardy put in a 10-out-of-10 performance at the weekend as he inspired Leicester to an unlikely victory . Credit must go to Nigel Pearson (bottom left) and his staff who supported Vardy through a tough time . It\u2019s Vardy\u2019s hold-up play that wins the free-kick for the first Leicester goal. His pace and persistence that hounded Joleon Lescott into giving him the ball as he drove Leicester forward and helped win the corner for the second goal. And it was his strength that won the ball off Gareth MacAuley on the halfway line - then you can only admire his storming surge towards goal and the quality finish as he rifles the ball into the back of the net for the winner in injury time, embarrassing Lescott again. When Leicester weren\u2019t in possession Vardy was chasing everything. When they had the ball, his movement was good \u2013 he took up a great position when Ulloa missed a sitter just before half-time.

Then in 2011, she developed a kidney infection, leading doctors to warn she was risking her life by starving her body. Beth said: 'The doctor told me he could feel all my organs underneath my skin and that I would end up killing myself if my eating didn't improve. 'I suddenly realised that I needed help and at just 4st 13lbs, I was admitted to an eating disorder ward once my kidney infection cleared up.

That will run concurrent with his 41-month federal sentence for bankruptcy fraud and failing to file taxes. His wife, Teresa, is serving a 15-month federal sentence on the fraud charges.

According to the International Shark Attack File, which gathers statistics on interactions between the mammals and humans,the number of worldwide unprovoked shark attacks has grown at a steady pace since 1900, with each decade having more attacks than the previous. However, despite the worrying statistics, only a minority of sharks are any danger to humans, with Great White, Bull and Tiger sharks accounting for the vast majority of attacks. Scroll down for video . The great white shark is the most deadly of its kind, yet there by following rules and recommendations, it's unlikely you will ever meet one . Thirteen-year-old Elio Canestri, who was attacked and killed while surfing off the coast of Reunion a week ago, was killed by an eight-foot bull shark. The young teen was reported to be surfing in an area deemed out of bounds by officials due to the high risk of sharks. Reunion has recorded seven fatal shark attacks in the past five years, more per capita than anywhere else in the world. The International Shark Attack File reports that there were 52 shark attacks in US waters in 2014, compared to 29 in 2015. Australia's 11 attacks was lower than its 12.5 attacks per year average over the past ten years (2004-2013) and the two fatalities were in line with its 1.5 yearly average over the same time period. So are there any simple precautions that can be taken to avoid a shark attack? And what should you do if you come into contact with one? Bright swim gear which contrasts strongly with skin colour can attracts sharks . Don't look like a fish . Even if you think you're in a safe area of water, a rogue shark attack can never be ruled out. Experts warn swimmers not to wear any jewellery or items that reflect the light. As far as sharks are concerned, that flash of light could easily be the sun reflecting off fish scales. This is particularly important if swimming in choppy and unclear conditions which can make it harder for a shark to distinguish between swimmers and prey. Even brightly coloured clothing can cause trouble, as sharks see in black and white and use contrast to distinguish colour, meaning they will pick up the difference between skin and a bright swimsuit. The same can be said for sunburn, causing colour differentiation on skin. Equally, surfers can easily be confused for seals. Lounging on a surfboard in a wetsuit can give the outline of a seal from a shark's point of view. While this is hard to avoid, try surfing in a group and stay alert to your surroundings at all times.

And the rising tide of obesity extends into adulthood with 1.9 billion adults worldwide overweight, 600 million of which are classified as obese. But with experts desperately trying to find the answer, a poignant debate rages. Should fast food and sugary drink companies be allowed to advertise their junk food to children? Should TV ads promoting unhealthy food and drink be banned until the watershed, or wiped out altogether to save adults' waistlines too?

A recent British Heart Foundation survey quizzed more than 2,000 parents with children under the age of 16. It showed two fifths of them are badgered by their children each week to buy food after seeing it advertised on TV, and feel that TV junk food adverts make it difficult to help their children eat a healthy diet. If you are a parent like me, you are probably nodding knowingly about now. There is plenty of scientific evidence to back up our frustrations too \u2013 showing that food commercials aimed at children focus on products high in fat, salt and sugar, and that youngsters develop positive attitudes towards the foods they see advertised. Despite regulation, children in the UK are still being exposed to more TV advertising for unhealthy than healthy food items, even at peak children's viewing times. What's more, regulation doesn't prevent the advertising of unhealthy products during programmes in the 'family entertainment' bracket, which include some of the most popular television programmes watched by children such as X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent. Seven in ten parents said they would like stricter regulation on the food industry's use of advertising. Good on them. The BHF has therefore just delivered a 30,000 strong petition, asking Government to ban junk food adverts from being shown before the 9pm watershed, to help protect our children from making unhealthy choices.

'I have just said to the players that I feel very proud of them considering we only had two days to work,' said former Latics skipper Caldwell. 'It's crazy, absolutely crazy. An all-consuming job. But I loved every minute of it and can't wait for the next one. I've had a lot of managers texting me saying 'welcome to the madhouse' and I can see what they mean.'

Smith slides to his knees as he celebrates putting the home side back in front in the Championship match . Caldwell has not been put in charge to perform a miracle, but he still insists there is plenty to play for. 'We'll try to win every game,' he added.

Many smartphones on sale today - including Apple\u2019s iPhones, Samsung\u2019s Galaxy phones and LG phones - come with built-in FM chips. However, nearly two thirds of these devices don't have the feature activated. Now the radio industry, faced with the rise of digital radio, are calling for this to change . Broadcasters, including the BBC, are pushing for the mobile industry to activate the FM chips within smartphones to allow users to access their free radio feature. It is thought many mobile phone network providers are reluctant to allow this because it would reduce demand for data used by streaming internet broadcasts. The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) in the US, which has been one of the loudest campaigners on the issue, also warns that FM radio on mobile phones could prove vital in an emergency. It said that FM radio is the most reliable way of broadcasting emergency information during times of national crisis and by allowing access to it on smartphones would mean such messages could reach almost everyone, no matter where they are. Norway has announced that it will be the first country in the world to switch off its FM radio signal. The Norwegian Government said it will turn off its FM transmitters on January 11 2017. With the ever expanding number of digital radio services and growing numbers of people choosing to listen to internet radio, it seems likely other countries will follow Norway's example. The UK had planned to switch off its own FM service by 2018 but the plans were later shelved following objections from commercial radio stations. It is now not expected to happen until sometime after 2020 when digital listeners are expected to outstrip those using analogue stations. In the US, around 85 per cent of American adults still listen to AM/FM stations. The NAB claims that the top 10 phones on the market already include radio chips that are not activated and would have little impact on battery life. Jeff Smulyan, spokesman for the NAB on the campaign, told NPR that giving users FM radio would allow them to avoid expensive data charges and save battery life. He said: \u2018Listening to streaming drains your battery three to five times faster than listening to the exact same content on the FM chip. \u2018When the power grid is out, the only lifeline for the American public is having an FM tuner.\u2019 In the UK, many cheaper mobile phones come with FM radio activated.

The statement Nineties chop, made famous by Jim Carrey\u2019s Lloyd Christmas in Dumb And Dumber, has graced the heads of celebrities far and wide in recent years - from Rihanna and Robert Pattinson to Lena Dunham and Miley Cyrus - and is spreading like wildfire among hipsters.

'We\u2019ve even had women coming into the barbers asking for the traditionally male style. It\u2019s fast becoming the 2015 hipster trend.' The craze may have been fuelled in part by the release of Dumb And Dumber To, the recent sequel to the 1994 cult hit, in which Jim Carrey hung on to his character's trademark chop. Indeed, Twilight heartthrob Rob Pattinson surprised everyone last November when he adopted the bowl cut, the same month the film came out. Members of the public take the plunge and opt for a bowl haircut . Headcase Barbers (pictured) has tipped the style as a must-have look for summer 2015 . Girls star Lena Dunham drew a similar gasp from commentators last year when she unveiled her own platinum blonde version on Instagram, stating: 'Change is good.' Miley Cyrus has also enjoyed a brief flirtation with the bowl cut, hers being eerily similar in nature to the one sported by Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter back in the Nineties, when Miley was just a child. And who could forget Justin Bieber, who burst onto the scene in 2007 with a sweepy bowl cut so beloved by his fans that he broke hearts around the world when he later chopped it off. Other brave stars to have tried the style on for size over the years include Rihanna, Kelis, Jessie J, Agnes Deyn and Kelly Osbourne. What's more, says Mr Nobbs, another Nineties style is also becoming increasingly popular, although 'the classic curtains style' still has some way to go before it hits the heights of the bowl cut. 'We've seen a bit of a resurgence from that Nineties style as well,' he explains. 'The classic curtains have been spotted recently on the likes of Liam Hemsworth, Zayn Malik and Johnny Depp as well.' Lena Dunham surprised her fans last year when she unveiled her own platinum blonde version on Instagram, stating, 'Change is good' Agyness Deyn was famed for her raven version in 2010 .

And put in a performance that fitted both his newly anointed status and the magnitude of the occasion. Neville was all over this thrilling derby right from the get go. 'We've got a proper game of football here,' he extolled early on, almost licking his lips at the prospect. He was also quick to point out what he saw as the 'graveyard' of City's right-hand side as United punished them time and time again along the hosts' attacking left. The razor-edged corner of tongue was saved not exclusively, but certainly frequently for Yaya Toure's performance. Time and time again Gary found himself talking about the various patches of grass in which he felt Yaya should be but very rarely was. And when co-commentator Tyler did observe that he could see Toure finally picking up his man, Neville snorted his retort. 'That's nice of him.' He was in equally abrupt mood after the game when he joined Niall Quinn and Graeme Souness for what was a really sharp, incisive and no-holds-barred post-match discussion.

The amount of drugs being thrown over the fence into one prison is so high that warders have been forced to deploy a cherry picker to remove them. Packages containing heroin and cannabis were cleared from the roof of HMP Altcourse in Liverpool - hurled there from the outside by friends of inmates who missed their intended targets. The hydraulic crane also recovered so-called 'legal highs' as well as 22 phones, three Sim cards and six chargers from the 60ft roof, contained in a total of 14 bubble-wrapped packages. Officers at the jail, privately run by controversial firm G4S, disclosed the haul in an internal document, which dramatically highlights the extent of drug use among the jail's 1,300 inmates. Dave Thompson, director of the Category B prison, said: 'These items were thrown over the prison walls by criminals on the outside and it required a cherry picker and staff to retrieve them from inaccessible rooftops.' Altcourse, the first prison in the UK to be designed and constructed for a private operator, has been criticised for drug-related violence. After a three-day visit last June, chief inspector of prisons Chris Hardwick wrote: 'There have been 38 serious assaults in just four months before the inspection. Gang issues and the availability of drugs, particularly new psychoactive substances [legal highs] were a significant factor in much of the violence.' G4S insists that Altcourse runs an effective anti-smuggling operation, and that the cherry picker is part of a 'high-visibility' approach to show inmates they will 'root out packages from anywhere'. 'We are committed to preventing drugs coming into our prison and we are encouraged that, at the same time as our seizures of banned substances have increased, the numbers of prisoners testing positive for them has come down,' said Mr Thompson.", "summary": "A cherry picker was called in to clear drugs from roof of HMP Altcourse .

Natalie Prescott, 26, was not expected to survive after she dived into a quarry in a dare-devil stunt which went horribly wrong. Her family was warned she was unlikely to pull through and that if she did, she would almost certainly lose her legs. Mum-of-three Natalie Prescott, 26, with Harley, 5, (left), 19 month old Scarlett, and Saskia, 7, (right), nearly lost her legs after leaping off Appley Bridge Quarry, near Wigan, back in 2012 .

But after learning that a teenage boy tragically drowned in the same quarry on Friday, Natalie is campaigning to have the area closed off to the public. Mother-of-three Natalie, from Wigan, said: 'This tragedy brought it all back to me. I almost died there too \u2013 and I want all young people to learn from my stupidity - please stay away from lakes and rivers because tomb-stoning can kill you. 'But in a way, I'm glad it happened to me, because it taught me what's important in life. All that matters to me now are my three lovely children.' After the incident, it was revealed that her ankles were pulverised and her knee cap was smashed . She had several operations during a three-month hospital stay, including metal plating in her ankle . The accident, in June 2012, happened at Appley Bridge quarry, Wigan, near the farm owned by Natalie's mother, Susan. Susan was later to see the air ambulance over her farm \u2013 unaware it was carrying her own daughter. Natalie, who is mother to Saskia, 7, Harley, 5, and 19 month old Scarlett, says: 'I hooked up with some old friends and on a sunny afternoon we went for a day out to a beauty spot, where rocks overhang a disused quarry. 'My mum lived nearby and she was looking after my two children whilst I went out with my friends. 'We were daring each other to jump in the water, and even though I knew it was stupid, I went along with it. I had never done anything like that before. 'I just fancied doing something crazy. I wasn't thinking about my children, I was thinking about myself.' As Natalie jumped, her nerves got the better of her and she hesitated. She smashed against an overhanging cliff, before hitting the water. After the accident, although the doctors managed to save her legs, she was unable to walk or stand, and had to learn all over again . At the time of the accident in 2012, the 26-year-old had two children, Saskia, now 7, and Harley, now 5 . She says: 'As I hit the water, I saw a large gaping hole in my knee.

The concerns around Fiona Stanley Hospital, in southwest Perth, were revealed to theWest Australian by unnamed sources. However, according to health authorities, the move was purely based on reshuffling junior medical faculty. The latest potential developments at the hospital follow recent reports that blood and bone fragments were found on supposedly sanitised medical instruments. The $2 billion Fiona Stanley Hospital in southwest Perth was found to have blood and bone fragments of some its medical instruments . The West Australian was told junior doctors were moved to 'maximise training opportunities' by a state committee that organises both accreditation and training for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. The hospital went on 'baby bypass' when the maternity unit opened four months ago, due to an unexpectedly high number of women giving birth. The hospital consequently had to direct expectant mothers to other hospitals. This week the RANZCOG told the West Australian that the obstetrics unit, which opened on December 2 last year, was approved for training in March. Michael Gannon, president of the Australian Medical Association WA, told the West Australian he knew of issues surrounding the recently opened obstetrics unit. He said concerns of the unit's services were similar to others at the hospital, due to planning issues from years ago. The hospital was stripped of its medical service provider Serco after they failed to return sterilising equipment by an arranged date in February . Earlier in the week, it was revealed that the hospital's medical service provider Serco failed to return sterilising equipment by an arranged date in February. The company was fined $60,000 and was subject to Department of Health workers auditing its staff, but the hospital was reportedly operating with poorly sanitised instruments, reported the ABC. Australian Medical Association WA president Michael Gannon noted recent reports that some instruments contained blood and human matter. 'There's been reports of bits of bone on some orthopaedic equipment, there's been reports, that are really hard to believe, of blood still being seen on some instruments,' he said. 'So this gives us great concern.'. Dr Gannon said the latest revelations will further damage the hospital's public image and likely cause a loss of morale within its workforce.

Chinese scientists have reported a 23 per cent reduction in myopia \u2013 short-sightedness \u2013 in children who spend an extra 40 minutes a day in the sunshine. Studies in Australia and by Ohio State University in the US produced similar results. Leading eye surgeon David Allamby warned that an increase in eyesight problems is likely in Britain if children do not regain a love of the great outdoors. Two in five adults in this country are short-sighted, but Mr Allamby said those rates are likely to increase. \u2018For 100 years we have researched into the effects of reading and prolonged study on making short-sightedness worse,\u2019 he said. \u2018It has become a common belief that spending too much time inside a book, or today on a screen, will make anyone\u2019s eyesight worse. \u2018Recent research might have turned this on its head. That\u2019s why today some Chinese schoolchildren are going to school inside a big glass box. There are several studies showing that lack of daylight might be the principal reason why children become more short-sighted, rather than prolonged reading. Study shows that 40 minutes of extra natural light per day, by playing outside or climbing trees, could help to reduce cases by 26 per cent (file image) 'What wasn\u2019t factored into our decades of research was that reading and studying are done indoors, away from daylight. \u2018The link between studying and myopia might really be a red herring, where the close vision activity is just a proxy for lack of daylight.\u2019 Donald Mutti, who led the Ohio study, told the journal Nature: \u2018We thought it was an odd finding but it just kept coming up as we did the analyses.\u2019 Mr Allamby, who runs Focus Clinics in London, said: \u2018The incidence of short sight in the West is rising, now affecting around 40 per cent of the population. \u2018If we look at hunter-gatherer societies that live mainly outdoors, such as those studied in Gabon, we find that only 0.5 per cent of adults are afflicted by short sight. \u2018Chinese children are participating in research to determine if more exposure to daylight will protect them from their myopic genes. \u2018If [it] is shown to help it might mean we all got outdoors more", "summary": "Researchers had thought reading or looking at screens caused condition .

+{"article": "A new study has shown women still have an increased risk of breast cancer years after stopping taking hormone replacement therapy . Hormone replacement therapy increases a woman's risk of breast cancer up to eight years after she has stopped treatment, scientists have warned. The new findings come from experts who conducted one of the world's largest studies into the effects of HRT - used to ease the effects of menopause. The Women's Health Initiative in the US and the Million Women Study in the UK have both revealed strong evidence that HRT increases a woman's risk of breast, womb and ovarian cancers. The Million Women Study, a collaboration between Cancer Research UK and the NHS, results suggested that women who are using combined HRT have double the risk of breast cancer compared to non-users. And researchers found if women use HRT for more than 10 years, their risks are even higher. Now scientists involved in the Women's Health Initiative study have warned, after further follow-ups, that women who take the combined oestrogen and progesterone HRT therapy continue to have a high risk of breast cancer, up to eight years after they stop treatment. After going through the menopause a woman's ovaries stop producing the hormone oestrogen. It triggers menopausal symptoms including hot flashes and mood swings. HRT treats the body by introducing female sex hormones. There are three types, oestrogen-only HRT, cyclical HRT - where oestrogen is taken continuously but progesterone is given either monthly or every three months - and continuous combined HRT, where both female sex hormones are taken at the same time. In the early 1990s, some smaller studies suggested the therapy would reduce a woman's risk of coronary heart disease and osteoporosis. To examine whether that was the case, the Women's Health Initiative in the US was tasked with investigating. They enrolled more than 26,000 women aged 50 to 79 in the study. Meanwhile, in the UK another key study, the Million Women Study, explored the effects of HRT on women aged 50 or over. Both concluded that women prescribed HRT were at a higher risk of breast cancer, than those not receiving the treatment. WHI researchers had intended to follow the women up until 2005, but in 2002 it became clear women taking HRT were suffering higher rates of heart disease. Those women who took the combined HRT, which boosts the body's levels of both female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone, have an increased risk of breast cancer up to eight years after treatment . They discovered it was the women taking either the combination HRT or those taking oestrogen-only treatment that were going on to suffer heart problems. As a result, all women were asked to stop taking their treatment - HRT or placebo - immediately. After the reported increased risk in breast cancer for women taking combined HRT, use of the therapy dropped dramatically. The new study, led by Dr Rowan Chlebowski, an oncologist at Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, and one of the initial investigators on WHI, focused on a woman's risk of", "summary": "HRT increase risk of disease up to eight years after stopping treatment .

This is the drill that was used by thieves during the \u00a360million Hatton Garden heist over the Easter weekend. The gang used the power tool to cut through the wall of the secured vault where they raided 72 security boxes before escaping with wheelie bins full of precious gems. The photograph of the Hilti DD350 drill was released tonight by Scotland Yard as the officer in charge of the investigation said the crime had been carried out by an 'Ocean's 11 type team'. Police are offering a \u00a320,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the raid. The six men were captured on CCTV as they carried out the bold raid in London's diamond district. They used the drill to cut through a concrete wall into the bank's strongroom, where they ransacked security vaults. But, amazingly, the hole used by the gang was just 45cm wide and 25cm high - meaning they would have had something of a squeeze to muscle their way into the basement. Images of the scene show the mayhem that detectives discovered when they arrived at the crime scene in London's diamond district. Safety deposit boxes were strewn across the floor while power tools - including the heavy duty Hilti DD350 used to access the vaults - were discarded nearby. Scotland Yard also described how there was rubbish covering the Hatton Garden basement, while the wrought-iron cage door had been broken down. An angle grinder, concrete drills and crowbars were found amid the security boxes. Officers said there was no sign of forced entry to the outside of the building, indicating that they had a key or that someone had let them in from the inside. One of the theories behind the heist is that a member of the gang had rented a space within the premises. The Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company is housed in a seven-storey building, which accommodates 60 other businesses, including watch traders and diamond wholesalers.

Black tea has high levels of oxalate, a chemical known to produce kidney stones and even lead to kidney failure if consumed in excessive doses. Scroll down for video . Toxic tea: Medical professionals at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock blamed a 56-year-old man's kidney problems on the 16 cups of iced tea he drank daily . 'It was the only reasonable explanation,' said Dr Umbar Ghaffar of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, who wrote about the patient in an article for the New England Journal of Medicine. The man was admitted to the hospital in May complaining of nausea, weakness, fatigue and body aches. The chemical oxalate was found to have clogged the man's kidneys, to the point that they had become inflamed. With a habit of drinking about 16 8-ounce cups of iced tea every day, the unidentified man was consuming anywhere from 3 to 10 times the amount an average American takes in. The 16-daily-cups habit was striking on its own, since federal studies have found that the average US adult drinks about 10 to 11 cups of liquid every day, including water, coffee and other beverages. Ghaffar said she didn't know whether the man was drinking sweet tea, a concoction made from black tea and a hefty serving of sugar that is popular in the South, though he was diabetic.

The Arkansas man's case, however, does not suggest health risks for most people, according to Dr Randy Luciano, a Yale School of Medicine kidney specialist.

A team led by Imperial College London has already applied to patent the therapy, which they say could be ready for human trials within three years. The scientists discovered a protein which helps boost the body\u2019s immune system ten-fold, an astonishing effect which could help patients fight off cancers and viruses. The protein promotes the production of immune cells called cytotoxic T-cells, which have the ability to detect cancerous cells, hunt them down, and destroy them . The protein promotes the production of immune cells called cytotoxic T-cells, which have the ability to detect cancerous cells, hunt them down, and destroy them. In a chance discovery in mice, it was found that a previously unknown protein - which they named the lymphocyte expansion molecule or LEM - dramatically boosted the body\u2019s number of T-cells. They are now developing a gene therapy that would boost the production of LEM proteins, in turn increasing the number of T-cells available to attack cancer cells. The therapy, revealed in the international journal Science last night, would use the existing T-cells taken from individual patients. The patient\u2019s cells would be removed, modified with the insertion of LEM-producing genes, and then infused back into the patients via a drip, probably on four occasions over two months. It might also be used to treat other viruses, they said. The development, which also involved researchers from Queen Mary University of London, ETH Zurich in Switzerland and Harvard Medical School in the US, has already been six years in the making. Cytotoxic T-cells are an important component of the immune system, but when faced with serious infections or advanced cancer, they are usually unable to mobilise in large enough quantities to fight the disease. In a chance discovery in mice, it was found that a previously unknown protein - which they named the lymphocyte expansion molecule or LEM - dramatically boosted the body\u2019s number of T-cells . By screening mice with genetic mutations, the Imperial team discovered a strain of mice that produced ten times as many cytotoxic T-cells when infected with a virus, compared with normal mice. The discovery was unexpected because the new protein had no known function and resembles no other protein known to science. But the mice suppressed infections more effectively and were far more resistant to cancer. They also produced more of a second type of T-cells, memory cells, enabling them to recognise infections they have encountered previously and launch a rapid response. In further experiments the scientists went on to show that the LEM molecule had a similar impact on the human immune system.

So if you love the Mulberry Bayswater tote, but wince at the eye-watering price tag, you can pick up a looky-likey from Next. Or if you fancy yourself in a Victoria Beckham-style armband shift dress, but wouldn't remortgage your home to pay for it, the Next version could be just the ticket. Scroll down for video . VICTORIA BECKHAM had a hit with this armband shift dress (victoria beckham.com). Next's compact cut-out shoulder dress is a fraction of the price . And it's not just designer clothes that the company is expert at emulating. It also does its own versions of high-end homeware that won't break the bank. Karen Kay, fashion and retail commentator, says one of Next's greatest strengths is identifying catwalk trends that will appeal to its target market: mothers aged 30 and over and women starting out in their careers. 'A perfect example is the Next tan washed saddle bag, which is very like the Chloe satchel,' says Karen. 'It's a classic shape that's also fashionable, a good combination for Next customers looking for grown up-style. 'What they don't do, unlike shops appealing to younger women, such as Zara and Topshop, is copy one-season wonders. 'Next customers are not looking for high fashion, but clothes to wear to an interview or at the office, and they have a much better line in these, including their designer copies, than Marks & Spencer.'

A man has been arrested for repeatedly calling Sandy Hook Elementary School and accusing staff members of staging the 2012 school massacre. Timothy Rogalski, from Wallingford, Connecticut, called the school on Tuesday morning and left four messages on its office answerphone. The fifth time he called, he spoke to an administrative assistant. In the calls, the 30-year-old accused staff of being behind the December 14, 2012 shooting that left 20 children and six female educators dead, according to police in Monroe. He also said the Boston Marathon bombings in April 2014 were fake, police said. Authorities traced the calls back to the home Rogalski shares with his father, about 40 miles from where the 2012 attack unfolded, and he was arrested. 'I don't think I said anything that horrible,' Rogalski said at a court appearance on Wednesday, NBC Connecticut reported. He has been charged with harassment and disorderly conduct and is being held on $2,500 bond. He was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation and not to contact anyone at the school. He will next appear in court on April 22. Arrest: The calls were traced to his home in Wallingford, pictured, which is about 40 miles from where the shooting unfolded in Newtown in 2012. He was taken into custody and charged . Rogalski allegedly made the calls to Sandy Hook Elementary, which is operating temporarily in Monroe as a new school is built to replace the old one, and two other nearby schools. The original site of the school was demolished a year after the shootings. The gunman's home, where he shot dead his mother before going on the killing spree at the school, was also torn down in earlier this year. Rogalski's arrest does not mark the first time threatening calls have been made about the killings. In the days following the 2012 school shooting, Wilfrido Cardenas Hoffman, 31, looked up Newtown residents' phone numbers from his home in Venezuela and made more than 90 calls.

A relative of Britain's youngest convicted terrorist is believed to be among two teenagers who have fled into Syria to join Isis. The pair from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, have not been in contact with their families for several days and cannot be reached on their mobile phones. One of the boys is believed to be a relation of Hammaad Munshi, who was just 15 when he joined a cell of Islamic fanatics targeting the Royal Family. The grandson of a British sharia judge, Munshi was recruited by a leading 'cyber terrorist' who radicalised impressionable Muslims and encouraged them to attend military camps in Pakistan. He was arrested on his way home from a chemistry exam in 2006 and found with two bags of ball-bearings - key material for a suicide vest. He was locked up for two years under the Terrorism Act in 2008. The Times reported that the two 17-year-old boys told relatives that they were going on a school trip, but instead used the Easter holidays as a 'window of opportunity' to flee Britain. They are thought to have boarded a Thomas Cook flight from Manchester Airport to Dalaman in Turkey on March 31, said West Yorkshire Police. Both families have reported the boys missing to police although British authorities now fear that the pair have managed to cross into Syria from Turkey. A family friend said they were in a state 'of total disbelief' and they were 'broken and inconsolable'. The south Dewsbury area has been linked to a number of extremist plots and was home to the ring-leader of the London bombings on July 7, 2005, Mohammad Sidique Khan. According to The Times, a member of one of the families said: 'We don't want to talk.' Assistant Chief Constable Mark Milsom, from West Yorkshire Police said: 'We are extremely concerned for the safety of these two boys and would urge anyone with information to come forward and speak to us. 'Syria is an extremely dangerous place and the public will be aware of the dangers these boys may face. 'The choice of returning home from Syria is often taken away from those that come under the control of Islamic State, leaving their families in the UK devastated and with very few options to secure their safe return.' The force said it has been supporting the missing teenagers\u2019 families and carrying out extensive inquiries alongside the North East Counter Terrorism Unit.

+{"article": "An ancient Buddhist meditation practice could be as effective as modern drugs at beating depression, new research suggests. A study published in The Lancetfound mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) led to similar outcomes as antidepressants when treating the mental disorder. Mindfulness - which teaches people to focus on the present moment \u2013 is a growing movement based on ancient Eastern traditions of meditation. Scroll down for video . Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which teaches people to focus on the present moment, has similar recurrence rates as anti-depressants, a study found . Researchers found patients on a MBCT course suffered almost the same rates of recurrence as those taking anti-depressants. Over two years, relapse rates were 44 per cent in the MBCT group compared to 47 per cent in the medication group. This suggests it offers an 'alternative treatment' for those averse to the idea of taking drugs, said the researchers. A course of MBCT treatment typically lasts for eight weeks and mainly relies on meditation but also includes cognitive behaviour therapy and yoga. It's designed to help the patient develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with their thoughts and feelings. Professor Richard Byng, of the Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, said: 'Currently, maintenance antidepressant medication is the key treatment for preventing relapse, reducing the likelihood of relapse or recurrence by up to two-thirds when taken correctly. 'However, there are many people who - for a number of different reasons - are unable to keep on a course of medication for depression. 'Moreover, many people do not wish to remain on medication for indefinite periods, or cannot tolerate its side effects.' The first study of its kind discovered MBCT isn't more effective than antidepressants but could offer similar protection - with no significant difference in cost. Inspired by ancient Buddhist meditation, mindfulness courses were developed in the late 1970s by US doctors to combat stress. The guiding principle is to live more 'in the moment', spending less time going over past stresses and worrying about future problems. Techniques include moving the focus of attention around the body and observing sensations that arise \u2013 the so-called 'body scan'. A secular practice, it is said to help people recognise and overcome negative thoughts while noticing small pleasures. Professor Willem Kuyken, of Oxford University, said: 'Depression is a recurrent disorder. 'Without ongoing treatment as many as four out of five people with depression relapse at some point.' MBCT was developed to help people who have experienced repeated bouts of depression by teaching them the skills to recognise and respond constructively to the thoughts and feelings associated with relapse - thereby preventing a downward spiral. In the study, 424 adults with recurrent major depression were split into two group at random - half remaining on antidepressants and the others coming off and receiving MBCT. The latter group attended eight group sessions lasting two-and-a-quarter hours and were given daily home practice. Afterwards they had the option of attending four follow up sessions over a 12 month period.

The Liberal Democrats could seize control of the nation's schools in a coalition deal to erase Michael Gove's 'zany' ideas from the classroom, Nick Clegg signalled today. The Deputy PM said control of the Department for Education would be a key demand of any new power-sharing deal. Mr Clegg said he wanted to avoid a repeat of battling against the 'ideological gimmicks' of Mr Gove, who was the first Tory Education Secretary when the coalition was formed in 2010. Mr Clegg repeatedly clashed with Mr Gove over his education reforms, including Tory plans to scrap GCSEs and a Lib Dem scheme to provide free school meals to under-7s. Mr Gove was demoted from running the ministry in last year's Cabinet reshuffle to become Tory Chief Whip. The Lib Dems have sought to claim the mantle as the 'party of education', pledging to protect spending from 'cradle to college' for 2 to 19-year-olds. In the 2010-15 coalition, the Lib Dems ran three departments: Business, energy and climate change and the Scotland Office. As Deputy PM Mr Clegg oversaw policies across Whitehall, while Danny Alexander also sat in Cabinet as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, acting as George Osborne's deputy. However, senior Lib Dems believe the party should have demanded one of the key departments running public services, like health or education.

Asked if it was the kind of cabinet post he wanted, he said: 'I would, particularly having wasted a lot of time dealing with a lot of zany, ideological gimmicks from Michael Gove and his team. 'It would be a good thing if the Liberal Democrats were able to run education policy on our own terms, not least because we are the only party which is prepared to give the schools, colleges and nurseries the means that they need to absorb 400,000 new youngsters in our education system over the next five years.' Campaigning in Cornwall, he announced plans for an independent education standards watchdog to restrict ministers' ability to interfere with the contents of the national curriculum and exams. Mr Clegg said he wanted to 'get politics out of the classroom'. Establishing an Educational Standards Authority (ESA) is part of a plan for England which would also include a new Royal College of Teachers. Other measures include curbing some of the reforms put in place by Mr Gove, with the Lib Dems insisting that all teachers in state-funded schools - including academies and free schools - have qualified status or are working towards it.

In previous years, the role of Lapu-Lapu has been played by Pacquiao; as this year he was in training to fight Floyd Mayweather, they merely dedicated the performance to him instead.

'Very few people know how stoic and incredibly tough this lady is . . . No idea the physical suffering she has been enduring,' said Butowsky according to the New York Post. Butowsky previously told Breitbart that Logan had been in and out of the hospital since the attack, which occurred while Logan was reporting on the Arab Spring. On February 11, 2011, Logan was the victim of a 'sustained and brutal' sexual assault as she reported from Cairo on the resignation of President Mubarak. She was surrounded by a mob of 200 - 300 men after being dragged away from her TV crew in Tahrir Square, seconds after Egyptian colleagues heard men talking about wanting to take her pants off. The group tore her clothes from her body, groped and beat her, she later told The New York Times. 'For an extended period of time, they raped me with their hands,' the reporter said and she was subjected to 'aggressive pinching'. She was rescued by a group of women and up to 20 Egyptian soldiers. Logan has since returned to the Middle East. On Sunday, 60 Minutes aired her report on the persecution of Iraqi Christians by ISIS. 'She did the story while ISIS was just four to six miles from where she was reporting,' Butowsky said. 'She did the story over the last four to six months on location in the face of ISIS all while suffering from the brutal sexual assault she suffered at the hands of evil forces at play during the Arab Spring.'

The talented artist's birthday is being marked in London where his cousin has organised an exhibition of his paintings at the Amnesty International headquarters.

Since they were refused clemency earlier this year, their lawyers have been desperate to show the courts their rehabilitation over the past decade.

Painting has proven a great sense of solace for Sukumaran during his time in jail and has even run art classes for fellow inmates as part of the drug rehabilitation program that he set up with Chan. His cousin, Niranjela Karunatilake, last visited her cousin on death row in February. Niranjela said it was: ' just too sad to think that could be his last birthday'.

Former lecturer Martyn Reuby won the first round in his legal battle against Unite, after a tribunal ruled that he had been employed to teach its courses. The employment tribunal ruling is a major embarrassment to the union, which has led the campaign against the use of zero-hours contracts, which it says amount to \u2018exploitation\u2019. Ed Miliband was left embarrassed today after Labour's biggest backer was accused of employing workers on zero-hours contracts . It is also a blow to Ed Miliband, who has received more than \u00a313million from Unite since becoming leader in 2010. Mr Reuby, a Unite member for 42 years, claims he was sacked by the union after complaining that he and more than 100 colleagues were employed on a zero-hours basis, with no entitlement to sick pay or paid leave. The 59-year-old yesterday welcomed the ruling, saying: \u2018I never thought I would be taking my union to court. It is hypocrisy (on their part) because effectively what they were using was zero-hours contracts through the back door.\u2019 Mr Reuby\u2019s lawyer Jahad Rahman said Unite had repeatedly tried to avoid its responsibilities. He added: \u2018There\u2019s a moral as well as legal issue here because workers should not be denied basic employment rights. \u2018Unite has openly campaigned about the use of zero-hours contracts, which provide far fewer benefits such as holiday pay and pension, yet there is evidence in this case that tutors employed by Unite and other colleges worked under zero-hours contracts. My client was dismissed without any notice. He received a P45 in the post. No fair process was followed.\u2019 Mr Reuby was employed to deliver Unite courses at a string of colleges in London and the South East. The union provided the training, syllabus and course materials. Mr Rahman said his client would now pursue a case for wrongful dismissal against the union. Unite, which is appealing the judgment, claimed it did not employ Mr Reuby, who had a series of short-term contracts from colleges, which did not guarantee any minimum hours. But the tribunal ruled that he was effectively employed by Unite. A spokesman for the union said: \u2018Unite does not use zero-hours contracts and it is misleading to say so. The tribunal did not find that Mr Reuby was employed on a zero-hour contract, but rather he was employed on a series of short- term contracts.\u2019 Labour was facing further embarrassment over the issue last night after Parliament\u2019s expenses watchdog confirmed some of the party\u2019s MPs were employing staff on a zero-hours basis.

+{"article": "Human embryos have been genetically modified so that any changes made will be carried on into future generations for the first time, according to scientists. Researchers around the world are bracing themselves for the results of a study by scientists in China that has introduced DNA changes to reproductive cells. Although the scientific paper is yet to be published, the scientific world is abuzz with rumours that the work has been carried out. Many scientists have already reacted with horror at the idea, for fear it could be misused to allow parents to 'select' the genes they will pass on to their grandchildren. Human embryos, like the one above, may have been genetically modified with new gene editing techniques . They say that even embryos created in this way for research purposes only could have serious ethical and safety implications. They have described it as 'dangerous and ethically unacceptable'. However, others argue that the technology could also be used to rid families of devastating inherited diseases like cystic fibrosis or certain cancers. A gene editing technique known as CRISPR can search through DNA and replace specific genes or remove them. Under proposals put forward by Dr Luhan Yang, human ovarian tissue from women undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer could be used to obtain immature egg cells. These could then be encouraged to grow in the laboratory before using CRISPR to remove the genetic fault causing the cancer. The defective BRAC1 gene, for example, results in inherited breast and ovarian cancer. By repairing this gene, the resulting egg could be made healthy. Researchers at the moment say this should only be used for scientific research but it opens up the possibility of using edited eggs to create human embryos that have had heritable diseases removed. According to a report by the National Post, Professor George Church, a geneticist at Harvard Medical School, says a paper outlining the technology is due to be published. He said: 'There is a paper from China. I don't think it's been accepted yet, but I think it will be at some point.' His comments match those made by several leading scientists working with non-reproductive stem cells who have raised concerns over the new technology. Until now scientists have concentrated on using genome editing techniques on somatic cells - non-reproductive cells like those found in skin, muscle, nerves, bone and liver for example - to help them study diseases. Modifying the DNA of human embryos so that DNA changes are preserved in the germline - the sperm and eggs - means such alterations can be passed on to future generations. Such work is already illegal in many countries around the world including the UK, but is permitted in the US and China. A number of groups around the world are thought to be working on techniques to genetically modify human embryos.

Vladimir Putin gave the go-ahead for the deal, with the defence ministry saying it was ready to supply the S-300 missile equipment \u2018promptly\u2019. The move is likely to anger both the U.S. and Israel at a time of heightened tensions between the world powers and following a landmark deal on nuclear weapons. Moscow blocked deliveries of the surface to air missiles to Iran in 2010 after the United Nations imposed sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear programme, barring hi-tech weapons sales. Russia yesterday lifted a ban on supplying Iran with the air defence S-300 missile system (above), which could be used to protect nuclear sites . But the Russian president lifted the ban after Tehran struck an interim deal with Britain and five other countries to curb nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The framework deal, reached this month, intended to significantly restrict Iran\u2019s ability to produce nuclear weapons, while giving it relief from international sanctions. The negotiations have been heavily criticised by Israel which has warned against Iran having any nuclear activities. Russia signed the \u00a3545million ($800m) contract to sell Iran the S-300 missile system in 2007, but later suspended their delivery because of strong objections from the U.S. and Israel. Vladimir Putin (above) gave the go-ahead for the deal, with the defence ministry saying it was ready to supply the equipment . The contract to deliver the system was heavily criticised by Israel and the U.S., who feared it could be used to protect Iranian nuclear sites. When it was cancelled, Iran filed a lawsuit with a court in Geneva, seeking \u00a32.7billion ($4bn) in damages for breach of contract, but the court has not yet issued a ruling. Moscow said it had no choice but to annul the deal when the UN imposed sanctions, outlawing the sale of advanced weapons. Despite the sanctions, Russia and Iran have remained close allies. The deal on Iran\u2019s suspected nuclear activities is supposed to be finalised by June 30. There is no firm agreement on how or when to lift the current sanctions. The announcement comes as the U.S. slammed Russia for flying a fighter jet close to a U.S. reconnaissance plane in an \u2018unsafe and unprofessional manner\u2019 last week. Pentagon spokesman Mark Wright said the U.S. was filing a complaint to Russia after the incident over the Baltic Sea, in the international airspace north of Poland.

Pupils\u2019 excessive consumption of energy drinks is fuelling deteriorating behaviour, it has been claimed.

Some children drink \u2018excessive\u2019 amounts of Red Bull, Monster and Relentless, causing \u2018hyperactivity\u2019 and an \u2018inevitable crash\u2019 later, the teaching union said. Of the 3,500 teachers it surveyed, 13 per cent cited \u2018use of caffeine and energy drinks \u2026 as a driver of poor pupil behaviour\u2019. The teaching union is now working with national drug and alcohol charity, Swanswell, to provide pupils, parents and schools with advice on energy drinks. The move comes as doctors warned last week that the drinks can trigger heart problems in healthy teenagers. Miss Keates said: \u2018This is the first time we have seen a significant number of teachers beginning to raise this as a concern. \u2018These drinks are becoming increasingly popular among young people and are often seen as simply like any other soft drink, but many young people and their parents are not aware of the very high levels of stimulants that these drinks contain.\u2019 She added: \u2018Teachers are growing increasingly concerned that some young people are using these drinks to enable them to stay up into the early hours of the morning and then replace their lost energy by drinking two or three cans of these drinks on their way to school. \u2018Teachers are reporting that this affects concentration in class and hyperactivity is then followed by the inevitable crash later in the school day when the impact of these drinks wear off. \u2018Parents and young people need to be made aware of what these drinks contain and their potential impact on behaviour.\u2019 There is no recommendation around how much caffeine people should drink each day, according to a briefing document prepared for the NASUWT by Swanswell. However, the Food Standards Agency recommends that children should only consume caffeine in moderation. As a result, it would \u2018seem logical that children should consume a maximum of 200mg of caffeine per day, as recommended for pregnant women\u2019. Children and pregnant women could drink five 500ml bottles of cola before reaching this daily limit for caffeine intake. However, they could only have one of the top five energy drink brands to get to this 200mg level, according to the report. Chris Keates, general secretary of the NASUWT (pictured), likened the caffeinated refreshments to \u2018readily available legal highs\u2019 It also points to a Danish study that revealed over 40 per cent of energy drink consumers experienced insomnia, restlessness and heart palpitations.

A married GP who fondled a vulnerable teenager's breasts when she came to him complaining of chest pains has been jailed for 18 months. Dr Unt Tun Maung, 43, was working as a locum GP when he assaulted the patient during a routine examination at a Teesside medical centre in 2012, Durham Crown Court was previously told. The father-of-one, of Chester-le-Street, County Durham, had spent 12 years working in the NHS, but has now lost everything because of a 'moment of madness', his lawyer told the court. The attack took place during a routine appointment in July 2012 when the girl went to Maung complaining of chest pains. Maung then asked the teenager to remove her bra, before cupping and squeezing her breasts before telling her to put her clothes back on. After the incident, the woman texted a friend to say she felt she had been sexually abused. In a statement read to the court, she said had not wanted to believe she had been taken advantage of, but she could not rid it from her mind. Then, when she visited another doctor a few months later with another chest infection, she panicked while being examined, the court heard. A complaint was made to the NHS, although the police were not alerted for 'several months', prosecutor Peter Makepeace said. Dr Maung came from a medical family and had worked in the NHS since moving to the UK in 2000, Mr Hurst said, and was held in high regard both professionally and personally. He had devoted 12 years of his life to working in the NHS and had also helped contribute to his Buddhist community, defence barrister Andrew Hurst said. Mr Hurst asked the judge to suspend the sentence, saying Maung's earning potential had been decimated and he had lost the respect of the community, to the point that his conviction 'effectively amounts to a life sentence'. Maung was jailed for 18 months for the attack, which took place in 2012, is currently suspended from practicing and is facing a General Medical Council investigation . Judge Prince told Maung he had previously been of 'exemplary' character, had made a significant contribution to society, both as a 'diligent and dedicated doctor' and in the wider community. He added that Maung was clearly held in high regard by numerous people of high standing. However, the judge concluded that only an immediate prison sentence would be appropriate for the crime and deter others from behaving in such a way in future. Dr Maung has been suspended from general practice since October 2013 and now faces a General Medical Council investigation. Judge Prince added that his NHS career was 'unquestionably over'.

Named Hyperion, the moon's porous surface can be seen in incredible detail in this image taken by Cassini as it performed a flyby of the satellite. The floating bath sponge: This image shows one of Saturn's outer moons, measuring 255 by 161 miles (410 by 260km). Cassini was around 38,500 miles (62,000 km) from Hyperion when the image was taken . Hyperion is shaped like a potato and is one of the largest bodies in the solar system known to be so irregular. Its odd, almost 'bubbly' appearance, can be attributed to it having a very low density for its size, according to Nasa. This low density also means that it is composed largely of water ice with only a small amount of rock. Because of these properties the entire moon is porous, like a sponge, with well-preserved craters of various sizes packed together across its surface. Scientists believe around 40 per cent of the moon is empty space. Cassini was around 38,500 miles (62,000 km) from Hyperion when the image was taken almost a decade ago. Esa has just released a refined, false-colour perspective of the moon in which its surface features were highlighted by toning down its natural redness. During the flyby, the probe got more than it bargained for as Hyperion unleashed a burst of charged particles towards the spacecraft, effectively delivering a giant 200-volt electric shock. It appears that Hyperion's surface becomes electrostatically charged as it is bathed in charged particles. These particles are constantly streaming out into space from the sun, but Hyperion also has to deal with ones trapped within the magnetic field of its host planet, Saturn. While astronomers expected many bodies throughout the solar system to be charged, the Cassini data represents the first-ever experience of a charged natural object in space other than our moon. 'This is comparable to what happens when you rub your hair against a balloon, or when a shirt or blouse rubs against a sweater,' said Professor Tom Nordheim at University College London. Hyperion is shaped like a potato and is one of the largest bodies in the solar system known to be so irregular. Its odd, almost 'bubbly' appearance, can be attributed to it having a very low density for its size . 'The large difference in potential between the surface and the spacecraft resulted in a flow of electrons being accelerated from Hyperion toward Cassini.

But the squiggles are actually thought to be a 'code' for crooks, giving potential housebreakers details about the building, such as whether it is a good target or has an alarm, or been targeted before successfully. Other marks could suggest that the occupant is vulnerable or that there is nothing inside the property worth taking. Cracking the code: Lanarkshire Police has urged anyone who has seen these symbols on their properties to call them . So far the code has only been spotted in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, where 'X' marks were daubed on several garden sheds. Lanarkshire police tweeted: 'Breaking the Housebreaker's code. These signs have been seen in East Kilbride, please retweet & report all sightings.' The officers' post features a graphic with eight different codes and what they might mean. While police are keen for anyone who sees suspicious markings to report them, they were also keen yesterday to stress that the message was for crime prevention guidance and not to spark fear or alarm. They also said there was nothing to suggest the markings in the area correlate to a particular meaning. Warning: Lanarkshire Police took to social media to warn homeowners about the 'housebreakers code' A spokesman for Police Scotland said: 'It has been the case that some garden sheds in the East Kilbride area have been marked with a cross. 'We issued general crime prevention guidance and asked anyone who noticed anything suspicious to contact police on 101.' The spokesman added that the guidance was in response to a number of housebreakings in the town. The practice of crooks using a secret system to identify potential victims has been dubbed the Da Pinchi Code. The shape of an open book means a vulnerable female resident is the occupant, while another symbol of interlocking squares indicates a homeowner who is 'nervous and afraid'.

The visits took place over five years, but the homeowners could not work out why they were being singled out. Following an investigation it emerged that a rogue builder who paved their drive had left a code in a pattern of blocks to tip off other cowboy traders that the owners were a vulnerable target. The builder, who overcharged the couple by \u00a34,000, left the job unfinished in August 2009 but he created a squared pattern of different coloured blocks at the centre of the driveway.

But even she has astonished her showbusiness friends by buying a \u00a327 million London mansion \u2013 for cash. The four-storey home has five kingsize bedrooms, five bathrooms, an underground pool, a gym, and a lift to take cars to the basement garage. Extravagant: The red-brick mansion with a neo-classical facade was torn down by the previous owners . But it is not to everyone\u2019s taste \u2013 one neighbour has described it as looking like a \u2018down- market mortuary\u2019. The purchase comes after Ms Forbes, 49, made a handsome profit on the sale of her previous flat, in Chelsea. Cash buyers: Emma Forbes, 49, pictured with her hedge fund boss husband Graham Clempson, 51 . Land Registry documents show that she sold that seven-bedroom home for \u00a343 million in February. She and her hedge fund boss husband Graham Clempson, 51, had bought it for \u00a318.5 million in 2007, before spending large sums on revamping it. Registry records show there is no mortgage on the couple\u2019s new home. Ms Forbes and Mr Clempson moved into her new-build house with their children, Lily, 19, and Sam, 16, in February. Neighbours have expressed mixed views about the house, which was completed this year after a two-year build. It replaced a red-brick mansion with a neo-classical facade that was torn down by the previous owners. Although the architects said they designed the new yellow-brick house to blend in with other Victorian and Georgian townhouses in the conservation area, some residents complain that it \u2018just sticks out\u2019. One neighbour said: \u2018Apparently the council approved it, which is outrageous. \u2018In an area like this it\u2019s important the buildings fit a certain look. But it just sticks out, it doesn\u2019t look like anything that belongs here.\u2019 Another resident added: \u2018It looks like a downmarket mortuary. There was more taste to how it was before. Now it looks like a council estate.\u2019 London property developers have revealed that the sale of Ms Forbes\u2019s previous apartment for \u00a343 million made it one of the most expensive flats in the UK. The priciest apartment in the UK is believed to be in the One Hyde Park development in Knightsbridge, which sold for \u00a3140 million last year. Tristan Ward, a solicitor acting for Ms Forbes and Mr Clempson, said it was \u2018inaccurate\u2019 to say that she made a profit of \u00a324.5 million on their previous flat as the couple spent considerable amounts of money refurbishing it before selling it. Mr Ward added that his clients\u2019 property affairs were a \u2018private matter\u2019.

The way he steadfastly attempted to carry on despite his illness in his typically understated manner drew much admiration and there was a considerable outpouring of sadness at his passing. It is one year since Tito Vilanova, the beloved Barcelona coach, died aged 45 after a long battle with cancer . Vilanova's memory lives on at the club where he played an integral part in its most successful era . People from the sporting world and many others attended a memorial service at Barcelona cathedral to pay tribute. Vilanova was Pep Guardiola's assistant during a golden spell for the club when they won three La Liga titles and two Champions League trophies from 2008-12. While Guardiola was the public face, Vilanova worked hard behind the scenes as Barca not only won trophies but did it by taking apart opposition teams with their brand of short-passing football that became known as 'tiki-taka'. Vilanova would take charge of preparing the strategy and advise on potential signings as Barca went on to win 14 out of a possible 19 trophies.

The pair knew each other from passing through Barca's youth system but Vilanova was let go in 1990 and played for several lower league teams before finally getting his chance in the Spanish top flight with Celta Vigo in the mid-1990s. It was as a coach that he really made his mark though and after Guardiola left, he took charge of the Barca first team. Barcelona went on to make a record start to a La Liga season with 18 wins from 19 games but in December 2012, Vilanova was diagnosed with cancer for a second time. It meant his assistant Jordi Roura took charge of the team on those occasions when he was undergoing treatment. Barca won the league but at the end of the season, Vilanova announced he was resigning to concentrate on his recovery from the illness.

Arsenal must make a swift decision on Petr Cech this summer or risk losing out on the goalkeeper . The Chelsea stopper looks certain to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season after losing his No 1 spot . Arsene Wenger must be swift with a move for his top goalkeeping target to beat the competition to him . The Gunners are long-term admirers of Cech and are considering a move for the keeper ahead of next season. However, Arsenal will not be the only club interested in luring Cech when the transfer window reopens. Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Roma and Inter Milan are all showing an interest in the 32-year-old and Cech is understood to be keen on resolving his future as quickly as possible this summer. That means the Gunners could miss out on their primary goalkeeping target if they don't make an early move. However, there are some major obstacles Arsenal must overcome before landing Cech. The first is the goalkeeper's valuation. Despite the fact Cech enters the final year of his contract this summer, Chelsea will demand in excess of \u00a310million for the custodian. Thibaut Courtois has become Chelsea's first choice goalkeeper after three years on loan at Atletico Madrid . Chelsea's stance over their players joining rivals weakened with the sale of Juan Mata to Manchester United . The Blues believe Cech can play for at least another eight seasons and that his next club will be signing a world class goalkeeper in his prime. His price will reflect that view. Likewise, the Gunners may find that Chelsea are reluctant to sell them Cech. In recent years, the Blues have shown a hesitancy in selling players to their Premier League rivals, though that stance weakened last season with Juan Mata's exit to Manchester United. Cech and Courtois have spent a season sharing the gloves at Chelsea, but the veteran will now move on . Signing Cech would significantly strengthen the Gunners next season, and Chelsea could yet refuse to sell the keeper to their London rivals.

The 43-year-old was told of the decision during a brief meeting with new chairman David Sharpe after the Latics lost 2-0 at home against Derby County. Mackay was handed the job by former owner Dave Whelan back in November to a backdrop of an FA investigation into a shocking series of text messages, exposed by Sportsmail. Wigan manager Malky Mackay has been sacked after just five months in charge, with Wigan facing relegation . Mackay gesticulates on the touchline during the defeat to Derby County, which would prove to be his last . 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\u2019s developments will not alter the speed in which his case is dealt with. Sharpe, 23, looked forlorn after defeat against Derby and made a snap decision to axe the boss just a month into the new role. It was a result to leave the club eight points off Championship safety with only five games left and the chairman was potentially swayed by terrace chants to sack the manager as goals from Chris Martin and Darren Bent plunged Wigan closer to relegation. They must win their next two games against Fulham and Millwall to stand any chance of survival. Although Wigan did not announce a caretaker manager, such was the haste of Sharpe\u2019s decision, Gary Caldwell is expected to be handed the job on a temporary basis. Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs is highly thought of. John Doolan, who formed part of Uwe Rosler\u2019s backroom staff at Wigan, is first team coach to Stubbs. Ex-player Danny Wilson presents another option. Mackay won just five of his 25 fixtures in charge and picked up only three home points - damning statistics referenced in the club\u2019s official statement last night. Sharpe said: \u2018This is a very difficult decision to make but I feel that, for the long-term future of the club, there needs to be a change now.\u2019 Sportsmail understands Mackay was close to suffering the sack back in February but victory away at Reading granted him a stay of execution. Wigan were content with keeping their boss until at least the end of the season and had faith in 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 that they could stay in the division immediately after losing against Derby: \u2018It\u2019s still mathematically possible.

The explanations provided to six travelers so far, which were mandated by a federal judge, have been inadequate, the ACLU said. For instance, in a letter to New Jersey resident Amir Meshal, the government's explanation for his inclusion on the list was based on information the FBI obtained from Meshal when he was detained in Africa in 2007, ACLU attorney Hina Shamsi said. The ACLU considers Meshal's detention to be unlawful and said he suffered abuse. 'From the face of the letter, a neutral decision-maker would have no idea whatsoever that any of that occurred,' said Shamsi.

It found that children who ate a diet higher in saturated fats and cholesterol had slower reaction times and a poorer working memory. Children who ate the fatty diet performed worse when they were given a task-switching game to complete, the researchers said. A new study has found that children who ate a diet higher in saturated fats and cholesterol had slower reaction times and a poorer working memory. A stock image is pictured . For the study, scientists at the University of Illinois recruited 150 children aged between seven and 10 and gave them a game which involved learning a pattern between a set of shapes and colours. The game was designed to test cognitive flexibility, which is our ability to shift attention, select information and alter our response strategy to fit the changing demands of a task. Their performance was then compared with a food diary that the children had completed with the help of their parents, and which was overseen by a dietician. 'Children consuming diets higher in saturated fats exhibited longer reaction time during the task condition requiring greater amounts of cognitive flexibility,' the study says. A stock image of neurons is shown . Researchers at Virginia Tech College of Agriculture and Life Sciences claim that eating fatty food for just five days can change the body's metaboilsm for the worse. This is because it disrupts the way muscles break down sugar in the blood and potentially lead to long-term problems such as weight gain, obsesity and other health problems. 'Most people think they can indulge in high-fat foods for a few days and get away with it,' said Matt Hulver, an associate professor at the college.

'This research shows that our bodies can respond dramatically to changes in diet in a shorter time frame than we have previously thought. Students were given a diet containing 55 per cent fat and after five days muscle samples were collected to see how they metablised sugar. Dr Hulver and his team found that after five days of eating lots of fat, the muscles' ability to oxidise glucose was disrupted, meaning that it wasn't broken down into energy as easily.

+{"article": "Blackburn should brace themselves for interest in their players from top-flight clubs following their run to the FA Cup quarter-finals, manager Gary Bowyer has said. Sky Bet Championship side Rovers were eliminated from the competition on Wednesday night by Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool, who booked a semi-final date at Wembley at the second time of asking thanks to Philippe Coutinho's angled 70th-minute finish in an Ewood Park replay. It ended a memorable FA Cup journey for Rovers that had included resounding home victories over Barclays Premier League sides Swansea and Stoke in previous rounds. Blackburn manager Gary Bowyer believes the club should brace themselves for interest in their players . The manner in which they dispatched those two, coupled with the fact they frustrated Liverpool for the majority of the 180 minutes, is unlikely to have gone unnoticed by bigger clubs plotting their summer spending. Bowyer is no stranger to staving off interest in his prized assets, having rejected advances for Jordan Rhodes and Rudy Gestede in the past two transfer windows, and the Rovers boss expects overtures for more of his men in a few months' time. 'What the players have done is they've put themselves on a platform and shown that they can play in the Premier League,' he said. 'They've got to maintain that over the next six games and show the Premier League big boys. That's obviously the nature of the game that we're in, I'm not going to kid myself. 'It's the nature of business. If you look at all the clubs now, everybody sells. Liverpool sold (Luis) Suarez in the summer. 'You've seen over the two games against Liverpool and in previous games against Swansea and Stoke that we've got some very good young players. They're developing, they're growing and getting some real experience under their belts.' Blackburn strikers Jordan Rhodes and Rudy Gestede have both attrackted in the last two transfer windows . Blackburn's owners Venky's have previously adopted a strong stance on possible outgoings, telling Hull and Crystal Palace that Rhodes and Gestede would be remaining in east Lancashire. However, that position may have to soften if Rovers are to bring their mounting debts down as they look to adhere to the Financial Fair Play regulations. Their recent failure to do so caused the Football League to place them under a transfer embargo which Bowyer knows has left him restricted when injuries have hit. 'You always want to keep your players and we want to be in a position to add to it,' he added. 'We've got to try and do as much as we can with this embargo. The embargo's just caught up with us because we haven't been able to bring enough bodies in.' Bowyer shakes hands with Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers ahead of Wednesday's FA Cup replay .

The Boston RunBase scheduled to open April 16 will allow visitors to learn about the world's most prestigious road race, run a replica of the course on a treadmill or see artifacts from its 118-year history. It will give runners a place to gather before going for a jog by the Charles River, and then shower and change before heading back to work or to the convention center across the street.

The wreath, and other historic items from the race, will be on display when RunBase opens later in April .

It is the sixth RunBase for Adidas 0 the first in the U.S. But it will differ from locations from Tokyo to Prague, as well as the Nike store nearby, because of its association with the Boston Marathon. 'Not only is the Boston Marathon the Carnegie Hall of running, but Boston is an amazing running community,' said Mikal Peveto, Adidas' director of running innovation. And that became even more apparent after two bombs interrupted the 2013 race, attacks that galvanized runners and turned the Boston Marathon into a symbol of the city's resilience. 'It drew the global running community together over something that's kind of ours, as runners,' Peveto said. 'It changed everything. From something so tragic, it was incredibly powerful what came out of that ... realizing that we had something even more special than we had before.'

Sam Brownback, a strong abortion opponent, signed the 'Kansas unborn child protection from dismemberment abortion act on Tuesday. It takes effect July 1. The law bans the so-called 'dilation and evacuation' procedure and redefines it as 'dismemberment abortion.' Sam Brownback, the governor of Kansas, tweeted a photo on Tuesday showing him signing the abortion-ban bill into law . Kansas abortion opponents have spent years pushing their state to the right on the contentious issue, including this 2013 rally at the steps of the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka . Drafted by the National Right to Life Committee, the measure also has been introduced in Missouri, Oklahoma and South Carolina, though only Kansas lawmakers have passed it. 'The Unborn Child Protection From Dismemberment Abortion Act is the first of what we hope will be many state laws banning dismemberment abortions,' National Right to Life president Carol Tobias told The New York Times. 'This law has the power to transform the landscape of abortion policy in the United States,' she said. Julie Burkhart, the chief executive of the Trust Women Foundation, predicted that her group would challenge the law in court. 'We call it the \"physician intimidation and criminalization act\",' Burkhart told the Times. 'This is unconstitutional.' Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri is also considering a lawsuit. But the governor is holding firm. Brownback has presided over one of the nation's most aggressive pushes to limit abortions, resulting in at least 20 laws restricting the practice of medically terminating pregnancies. 'This is a horrific procedure,' Brownback spokesman Eileen Hawley said. 'He hopes the nation follows suit.' Brownback, a popular conservative governor, won a second term in November despite a bruising campaign largely centered on the state's economy \u2013 not social issues . Kansas state Rep. John Wilson, a Democratic lawmaker from Lawrence, Kansas, is an abortion-right proponent; he asked during a March debate why pro-life groups don't spend more time trying to prevent unwanted pregnancies . The procedure is banned except when necessary to save a woman's life or prevent irreversible damage to her physical health. There is no exception in the law for incest or victims of rape. The new Kansas law specifically explains in graphic language the procedure it bans: . Doctors cannot use forceps, clamps, scissors or similar instruments on a fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces. Abortion rights supporters said the procedure is often the safest for women seeking to terminate pregnancies during the second trimester. The procedure accounted for about 9 percent of abortions last year in Kansas, where most pregnancies are terminated in the first trimester and the state already bans most abortions at or after the 22nd week.

The former Secretary of State, played by Kate McKinnon, and one of her advisers, played by Vanessa Bayer, discuss how she will declare her intentions at noon on Sunday following years of speculation. The pair decide to record a cellphone video of the Democrat for her campaign launch in a bid to make her come across as soft and approachable, following concerns she will not be able to relate to ordinary voters. During the scene, which includes a cameo from her husband Bill, they insist her second run at the White House will be about the people and not centered around her. But, despite desperate attempts to not be self-centered, Clinton seems incapable of talking about anyone but herself and brushes off her potential competitors.

Barack Obama has already given her his backing by saying he believes she will be an 'excellent president', but the comedians on the NBC show latched onto a memo that was made public on Saturday, saying her campaign will be humble and about 'everyday Americans'. After decades in the public eye, and stints in political offices, she faces a challenge showing her more down-to-earth side. On her first try at recording the video she screams in a dictatorial manner: 'Citizens, you will elect me. I will be your leader.' For the second attempt, they try to get Clinton to stop saying 'I' or her name, but she also fails immediately. 'Hello, 'tis I, Hillary Clinton,' she says. The two women are then joined by Bill Clinton (Darrel Hammond), who sneaks up behind his wife as she is filming. He says how grateful he is that camera phones did not exist when he was president - because he would probably be in jail if they were. The former president tells America in his wife's video: 'Hillary would make a great president. And I would make an even greater first dude.' From there they decide to make talk about how difficult the election will be, and the tough challenges Clinton will face from other Democrats.

Sergeant Edwin Mee, 46, is said to have abused his position of power while interviewing applicants by raping and molesting 11 young women who wanted to join the forces. The officer - known as 'Jock' - allegedly carried out the attacks on women aged from 15 to their early twenties between October 2010 and September 2011 at an Army careers centre in Croydon. The alleged victims, who were desperate for jobs, were often new to the country and unaware of their rights, Southwark Crown Court heard. Mee, who has served in war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, denies 17 counts of sexual assault, three counts of rape and one count of assault by penetration relating to 11 young cadets. Jurors were told earlier in the trial that one of the women, a virgin in her early 20s, fell pregnant after Mee raped her in a locked waiting room. An 18-year-old from Sierra Leone also claimed Mee raped her after saying he could help her get a visa. Prosecutor Rosina Cottage QC suggested 'risk taker' Mee who has fought in war zones across the world found interviewing recruits in Croydon 'dull'. 'But if he could use his position and manipulate it to take small risks at first and then bigger ones, it would make the job that much more exciting,' she said.

Even if you thought their 'conscious uncoupling' was a load of Goop from Gwyneth, it was a refreshing change from the vicious slanging matches other celebrities engage in after a split. There are lessons to be learnt from the couple on how to split amicably - and how to stay friends with an ex. Scroll down for video . Tracey Cox says that Gwyneth and Chris' amicable split is refreshing and something we can learn from . HOW THE COUPLE GOT IT RIGHT: . Put your kids needs first . Gwyneth and Chris are sharing equal custody of their two children and always maintained their first and foremost priority is to make Apple and Moses happy. No matter how acrimonious the split or how little you now have in common, if you have children together you will always have one shared goal: to bring your children up to be happy, functional adults. The more you both focus on that and think of what's best for the children, the more chance you have of forging a geniune friendship. If you're friendly enough to have 'family dates' where you all go out together now and then, do it. But only if you're both relaxed in each other's company. The point is to let the children see there are no hard feelings and that you both have their best interests at heart.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has already made up her mind about gay marriage, a report has claimed, ahead of a landmark Supreme Court hearing which could legalize the practice nationwide. The famously liberal justice, who is 82, will be part of a decision which begins hearing arguments tomorrow on whether states are allowed to ban same-sex unions and refuse to recognize those made in other states. Ginsburg, who has sat on the court since 1993, has been unusually open about her opinions ahead of the cases. cutting against a long-held tradition of not speaking out in advance. The new report, Yahoo! Politics, cited interviews in which Ginsburg has referred to the American public becoming more accepting of gay rights in general - and has even officiated at same-sex ceremonies. Ahead of the first such ceremony, held in Washington, D.C., in August 2013, she told the Washington Post that she understood the symbolic implications of her involvement. She said the wedding, of her friend Michael M. Kaiser, president of the Kennedy Center, to economist John Roberts, would 'be one more statement that people who love each other and want to live together should be able to enjoy the blessings and the strife in the marriage relationship.' She will get the chance to make her views known in the upcoming case of Obergefell v. Hodges, for which arguments will be heard from Tuesday and a decision is expected this summer. The case is being brought by James Obergefell, an Ohio man who married his husband in Maryland but was not allowed to name himself as spouse on his husband's death certificate in his home state. Currently 37 states allow gay marriage, as well as Washington, D.C. - but Ohio is one of 13 which has held out. Protests: Pictured are gay rights protesters camped out in front of the Supreme Court this weekend. Obergefell v. Hodges will be heard from tomorrow .

And if it determines that recognizing gay marriage is still up to individual states, the court could also decide that states are obliged to recognize gay marriage performed elsewhere in the U.S. After a 2012 ruling, the federal government is already required to recognize gay marriage in states where they are allowed.

+{"article": "A former Guantanamo Bay prisoner arrested over the terrorist killing of a top female prosecutor in Uganda had been awarded \u00a31million in compensation by the British government following his release. Jamal Kiyemba, 36, was detained in the Ugandan capital Kampala in connection with the death of Joan Kagezi, who was killed in front of her children days before a major trial against Islamist terror network Al-Shabaab. Kiyemba, a former pharmacy student at a university in Leicester, who grew up in London, was held at Guantanamo Bay for four years and awarded the huge payout after being released. Arrested: Ex-Guantanamo Bay prisoner Jamal Kiyemba, 36 was detained in Kampala over the brutal murder of top female prosecutor Joan Kagezi . The 36-year-old is one of 16 former Guantanamo prisoners awarded a \u00a320million payout from the British taxpayer over claims of false imprisonment and human rights abuse. His case was championed by Muslim human rights group CAGE, whose director infamously branded ISIS executioner Mohammed 'Jihadi John' Emwazi an 'extremely gentle, kind, beautiful young man'. He was born in Uganda as Anthony Kiyemba, but converted to Islam aged 20, changing his name to Jamal Abdullah. When the family arrived in Britain following the death of his father in 1993, Kiyemba, then 14, was granted indefinite leave to remain, but never applied for British citizenship. Kiyemba was arrested near Peshawar in Pakistan in March 2002, after allegedly trying to enter Afghanistan in the company of 'a probable al-Qaeda operative, a suspected al-Qaeda operative and a low-level jihadist', U.S. military files reveal. Compensated: Kiyemba was awarded \u00a31million from the British government over claims he had been tortured by U.S. intelligence and interrogated by the MI5 at Guantanamo which had violated his human rights . Kiyemba, however, claims he had gone to Pakistan to study Arabic and the Koran because the country was 'very cheap'. Following his 2006 release, he claimed he had only admitted to terrorist activities under torture by American intelligence officers and that he had been interrogated by MI5. He was held at Guantanamo Bay for four years but as he was not a British citizen, he was not entitled to representation by the Foreign Office nor, on his release, to automatic rights to return to his family. Kiyemba, whose mother, four brothers and sister all live in Britain, was instead deported to Uganda, but made several attempts to be allowed back into the UK. 'I may not be British according to some bit of paper but in reality I am a Brit and always will be,' he said in an interview following his release. 'My doctor, my local mosque, my teens, my education, employment, friends, taxes, home and above all else my family - it is all in Britain.' Support: Kiyemba's compensation claims were championed by human rights charity CAGE, whose research director, Asim Qureshi, pictured, famously branded ISIS executioner Jihadi John a 'kind, beautiful' man .

The man was located after Operation Resolve launched the appeal on Thursday morning in the hope that the supporters might be able to supply crucial evidence for the ongoing inquest. Photographs which show the men and woman rushing towards those crushed in the tragedy were released, with investigators urging anyone who recognises them to come forward. They form part of an ongoing Home Office inquiry aiming to establish whether any individual or organisation was to blame for the disaster which claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool fans. Investigators have released these images of football fans who were pictured carrying the wounded on stretchers and tending to others at the 1989 Hillsborough disaster .

Ninety-six people died at the disaster after Liverpool fans in one section of the football grounds became crushed. Previous inquests which recorded conclusions of accidental death were thrown out at the High Court in 2012 after years of campaigning by the families of those killed. The Home Secretary Theresa May launched a fresh probe into the disaster the same year. Investigators hope members of the public may recognise some of those pictured in the appeal .

The Orange County district attorney's office said Thursday that 35-year-old Angelika Graswald, of Poughkeepsie, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 46-year-old Vincent Viafore.

Dale and Debra Krein of Rogue River filed a suit in 2012 against their neighbors and their giant Tibetan mastiffs. Winners!

Overruled: John Updegraff and Karen Szewc (above) tried to argue they needed the dogs for their livestock . Finally, after three years of proceedings, a jury has ruled in favor of the disgruntled Oregonians, ordering for the canines to be debarked within 60 days. Debarking is a surgical operation that reduces tissue in the vocal chords. The procedure lowers the volume of a dog's bark. The Kreins claimed their lives have been plagued by the noise since the defendants, John Updegraff and Karen Szewc, started breeding dogs in 2002. According to the Mail Tribune, the canines would routinely bark until 5am and throughout the day outside the property just 300 feet from the Kreins. The jury ruled that the Tibetan mastiffs (stock image), born in 2002, should have their vocal chords removed . Irritation: The Kreins' property (right) is less than 300 meters from Updegraff and Szewc (center), who claim to keep livestock on their sprawling land. The jury ruled their dogs were unsuited to protecting livestock . This continued, they told the court, despite the fact that Updegraff and Szewc were cited by Jackson County Animal Control in 2002 and 2004 for violating public nuisance codes. The defendants attempted to argue that the mastiffs were needed to protect their livestock. However, on Thursday a judge at Jackson County Circuit Court ruled the animals were not suited to the role.

Author Martin Fletcher points the finger at the late Stafford Heginbotham, Bradford City's chairman at the time and a businessman who had been linked to eight previous blazes. 'Could any man really be as unlucky as Heginbotham?' writes Fletcher, after 15 years spent researching the fire in which four members of his family died. The fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade claimed 56 victims and injured 265 on May 11, 1985 .

His brother Andrew, 11, his father John, 34, his uncle Peter, 32, and his grandfather Eddie, 63, were among the 54 Bradford supporters and two Lincoln supporters who did not survive. Fletcher, who was 12 at the time became determined to challenge the accepted theories which he believes were founded upon a flawed investigation. He discovered that Heginbotham, who died in 1995 at the age of 61, had been connected to at least eight other fires at business premises and insurance claims dating back to 1967. His findings have been published in Fifty-Six \u2013 The Story of the Bradford Fire, which is being serialised in The Guardian. It stops short of a direct accusation of arson but inferences are clear and he is certain more should have been done at the time to investigate the disaster and those responsible. He hopes these questions can be officially addressed and that his research will prompt a new investigation into the disaster as the 30th anniversary approaches next month. No-one has sought accountability for the fire since the official inquiry chaired by High Court judge Oliver Popplewell recorded its findings following five days of hearings held less than a month after the blaze. The inquiry found that a small fire was probably caused by a spark from a discarded cigarette or match dropped through a gap in the wooden frame", "summary": "Fifty-six people were killed and 265 were injured on May 11, 1985, when the Bradford City fire disaster occurred at Valley Parade .

The image was captured over Jaibru in Australia by an off-duty emergency services officer who dubbed the phenomenon 'looping lightning'. Upwards lightning is possible, but is very rare - with current estimates suggesting less than one per cent of lightning strikes travelling in an \u2018upwards\u2019 direction. And storm chaser Dan Robinson believes 'looped lightning' is simply a trick of perspective, based on where the viewer is stood, meaning it appears to rise and loop even though it is not. This image was captured over Jaibru in Australia by emergency services officer Scott Murray, who dubbed the phenomenon looping lightning'. Upwards lightning is very rare - estimates suggest less than 1% of lightning travels in an \u2018upwards\u2019 direction. But storm chaser Dan Robinson said 'looped' lighting may instead be a trick of perspective, based on where a viewer is stood, meaning it appears to loop when it's not . The 'looping lightning' image was taken by Scott Murray and the bolt appears to shot out and up from the cloud before curving towards the Earth. Typically lightning is seen from a distance, or from the side, and it is rare to capture an image almost directly beneath a bolt. As a result, this can skew its perspective. In particular, if the bolt is travelling straight at the viewer - so they are almost looking up the length of the bolt - it can make it appear as if it is curving because of its forked nature. There have been examples of lightning appearing to make complete circular loops, but this is also a trick of the eye. Lightning is caused by the build up of electrostatic charge in clouds. As they develop, air acts as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud, and between the cloud and the ground. Upwards lightning is normally caused by a preceding flash moving from the cloud to Earth, and involves a bolt moving from the ground to the clouds. The preceding flash causes an electrical field change, which allows an upward positive leader to originate from a tall object like a building or wind turbine. During winter snow storms, it is possible for tall objects to initiate upwards lightning without preceding flashes. Upwards lightning is very rare - estimates suggest less than one per cent of lightning travels in an \u2018upwards\u2019 direction. It is typically classified into three groups. The smallest are starters, which extend up to a altitude of 12 to 19 miles (20 to 30km). Next are jets, which extend 25 to 31 miles (40 to 50km), and the last are gigantic jets, which reach 44 to 56 miles (70 to 90km). Positive charge builds up in one area of the cloud, while negative charges build up in the other - typically the top and bottom of the cloud respectively. If this build up of charge reaches a certain level, the insulating capacity of the air", "summary": "Image was taken by emergency services officer Scott Murray who dubbed the phenomenon 'looping lightning' A bolt of lightning is shown leaving the top of the cloud before looping back towards the Earth .

A millionaire company director was caught on CCTV shoplifting \u00a3200 worth of meat and wine from a Tesco supermarket. Ronan Ghosh, 39, was filmed attempting to smuggle the goods out of the store in a bag after paying for other items at the checkout. The company boss heads a global recycling company with a turnover of \u00a316million, lives in a \u00a3500,000 home in an exclusive neighbourhood and runs two BMWs. But a court heard that he was caught shoplifting after heading to a Tesco store following an argument with his girlfriend. His own barrister told the judge the offence \u2018beggars belief\u2019. Ghosh initially elected trial by jury but he then pleaded guilty to theft. Judge Murray Creed imposed a 12-month community order on Ghosh and told him to complete 80 hours\u2019 unpaid work and pay \u00a3575 costs. Birmingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday that Ghosh visited the Tesco store in Stratford Road, south Birmingham, on February 21 and was captured on its security cameras selecting items, including meat and bottles of wine, which he put into a bag. Lal Amarasinghe, prosecuting, said he then went to the checkout and paid for shopping that was in his trolley, but not for what was in the bag. Ghosh was detained by a security guard and police were called. In 2009, the businessman set up RG Recycling \u2013 based in Solihull, West Midlands \u2013 after more than a decade working in the plant and recycling industry. Charnjit Jutla, defending, told the court the firm supplies \u2018high-value machinery for the recycling industry\u2019. He added: \u2018It is a global business.

Three men and a woman were hospitalised last November after taking the pills. On Friday afternoon, about 800 partygoers poured off the Bella Vista boat after the party came to an end. Police allege an officer was assaulted as people left the vessel. Two men, 21 and 22, were charged and will appear in court this month. Before the boat - which was hosting a 'Dirty Funken Beats' party - left King Street Wharf at noon, three sniffer dogs were on hand to greet passengers . Police say they discovered cocaine, marijuana and MDMA before the boat left the wharf . Before the boat - which was hosting a 'Dirty Funken Beats' party - left King Street Wharf at noon, three sniffer dogs were on hand to greet passengers. 'We are rather concerned about how the drugs came on board,' Acting Superintendent Joe McNulty said. 'Instead of getting one drug dog yesterday, we went pretty firm and got three drug detection dogs there to comb the wharf, comb the area and all the participants before they boarded the boat.' Police discovered cocaine, marijuana and MDMA, Supt McNulty said. Disgruntled passengers took to Facebook on Saturday demanding refunds from promoters. 'How bout that refund eh?' one person wrote. Dirty Funken Beats responded: 'We work hard to put on awesome parties for everyone and something happens out of our control and you want 40 bucks back. 'Not overly thoughtful but we will sort it for you.' The cruise operator was served with a short-term closure order, preventing the vessel going back on the water for 72 hours. Supt McNulty said it was the first time such an order had been served on a Sydney Harbour party boat.

+{"article": "'Loneliness maps' are being used to tackle the problem of elderly people being left alone by working out which areas' residents are most at risk. Health experts have warned that being socially isolated can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, leading to an increased risk of problems such as dementia and high blood pressure. Now campaigners say that local councils should draw up maps of the places where pensioners and others are most likely to suffer from social isolation. Map: This 'loneliness map' was drawn up by Essex County Council showing the areas where residents are most vulnerable to becoming socially isolated . Two county councils, Essex and Gloucestershire, have already implemented the maps, which allow them to target 'danger zones' of loneliness. A new report from the University of Kent and the Campaign to End Loneliness recommends the maps as a way of treating the problem across the country. In Gloucestershire, council bosses compiled the maps by studying statistics on a range of public health factors which are often linked to lonely people. They looked for areas with large numbers of over-65s, people living alone, people suffering from mental illness, households with no car and people on a low income. Danger: Being lonely can lead to health problems including dementia (picture posed by model) The council also surveyed residents to identify those who rarely speak to their neighbours, are unsatisfied with their social life and say they don't have someone to talk to. They then combined all those factors to map the districts where people are most likely to be suffering from loneliness, with the most vulnerable areas marked in red. A spokesman for the council said: 'Targeting local people who need our help the most is a priority for us in Gloucestershire and we are always looking at new ways to reach them. 'The map we've adapted from a model by Essex County Council means that we can work out how many people could be lonely and where those people need us most.' The Campaign to End Loneliness has now called on other councils to copy the maps and draw up their own versions for their local area. The campaign's director Laura Alcock-Ferguson said: 'Finding people who are experiencing loneliness can be challenging, as they are often also some of the most hidden people in our communities. 'However, it is encouraging that, across the country, there are excellent examples of councils that are employing different strategies to identify residents most at risk of loneliness. 'If local councils and services do not act now to find the people experiencing severe loneliness, we are likely to see the consequences in our hospitals and social care services.' The report identifies a number of other risk factors that might make people more likely to suffer from chronic loneliness. People from ethnic minorities, those recently bereaved or forced to care for their loved ones and childless pensioners are particularly susceptible.", "summary": "Local councils are urged to draw up maps of the residents who are at risk .

It has since been taken down . Dollar, who is one of the most prominent African-American preachers in the United States, launched the private jet appeal via a five-minute video on his website. Shortly afterwards, he shut the website down but worshippers could still donate to the cause via the World Changers donation site which remains open. In a newly posted five-minute clip on YouTube, the Atlanta-based pastor responded to his critics saying: '(The devil thinks) I got to discredit that man before he starts showing people Jesus! 'I'm on my sabbatical, and the enemy's trying to discredit me. I never one time came to you and asked you for a dime for this airplane, did I? Damaged: Dollar says the church's current plane, bought in 1999, is broken and needs to be replaced, or he will be unable to continue working around the world . 'The (critics) don't know what we do. That's why they asked the question, what does a preacher need with an airplane? If you knew what we did, then you wouldn't ask that question. 'Just because the world doesn't have it, doesn't mean that you can't.' Dollar is the head of the World Changers Church International, a Christian ministry centered around the prosperity gospel, which preaches that God wants to bless the faithful with earthly riches. His original appeal for the Gulfstream G650 - which claims to be the fastest plane ever built in civilian aviation - was so that 'World Changers Church International can continue to blanket the globe with the Gospel of grace'. A Gulfstream G650 can fly 18 passengers and four crew members, according to gulfstream.com. The jet comes with two Rolls-Royce engines, high-speed Internet and two multichannel satellites and allows for a four-and-a-half-hour commute from New York to Los Angeles.

+{"article": "Mothers and babies have been banned from special screenings at an independent cinema after staff became fed up with clearing away dirty nappies and oversized prams. The manager of The Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, cancelled the regular Tuesday baby matinees due to a combination of 'whingeing, bitching, snitching and the law'. James Hannaway, who restored and reopened the traditional cinema in 2004, announced the decision on the company's website. Scroll down for video . Ban: James Hannaway, manager of Rex Cinema in Berkhamsted, has banned babies from special screenings . He explained that the special screenings, which were introduced in 2007 after complaints over babies being allowed to all matinees, were to allow parents to enjoy adult films with their children. Mr Hannaway said he was fed up with the whingeing from those attending the screenings without babies, even though they declared they 'might contain babies'. 'Rex staff have enjoyed collecting still-warm nappies from under tables, and who put up with difficult first time mothers with armoured tanks (prams) and a not always helpful attitude as they spread everything from the tank everywhere,' he said. And Mr Hannaway also claimed that the cinema has been forced to reconsider over the ratings on the Tuesday films. He said: 'Those who threatened us with the authorities if little-faces turn up in prams for a 15 certificate. Clearly babies of 0 to six months are under 15. 'Thank you for such moral vigilance. There's only so much whingeing, bitching and snitching from all sides one can take. Eight years of it is enough.' Screenings: He says he has cancelled the baby matinees (stock image) due to 'whingeing, bitching, snitching and the law' The issue had been picked up by members of the public, including Teresa Boad, who wrote on social media that she had 'complained about this a few years ago'. Some have been left disappointed by the ban, blaming other parents. Gillian Walters said: 'Shame how some spoil it for others leaving dirty nappies under tables is disgusting.' Clare Ball posted on the cinema's Facebook page: 'Very, very, very sad to see Tuesday matinee times have changed to 2pm, see you in a few years when I no longer have school runs in the afternoon.' The 1930s original Art Deco cinema has one screen in its proscenium and was described by Visit the Chilterns tourist site as 'possibly Britain's most beautiful cinema'. It opened on May 9, 1938, with Heidi starring Shirley Temple and in the early 1970s the balcony was boxed off to create two screens in the upper circle. The proscenium was soon closed and turned into a bingo hall while films still played in the smaller upstairs screen. On February 28, 1988, the cinema was closed and it would be 30 years before a film would be projected onto the screen.

While county officials are working to fire the lieutenant's, the Post reports, Gonzalez claims the incident -- which he says he does not remember -- is the culmination of a three-year downward spiral following a traumatic experience more than three years ago, the Inquirer reports. It all began in June 2011 when Gonzalez, who ran the department's narcotics unit, had an encounter with a drug dealer, 32-year-old Adam Reed. In the altercation, Gonzalez dived to the ground, injuring his hamstrings, as Reed fired shots at him from a handgun. Reed then pointed the gun at Gonzalez's head and pulled the trigger. But the weapon malfunctioned, saving Gonzalez's life, and Reed was later sentenced to 66 years in prison, the Inquirer reports.

A federal court of appeals threw out the career home run leader's obstruction of justice conviction on Wednesday, ruling 10-1 that his meandering answer before a grand jury in 2003 was not material to the government's investigation into illegal steroids distribution. 'Today's news is something that I have long hoped for,' Bonds said in a statement. Overturned: In this April 13, 2011, file photo, former baseball player Barry Bonds leaves federal court in San Francisco, after being found guilty of one count of obstruction of justice . On April 22, 2015, reversed the sole conviction against baseball slugger Barry Bonds, pictured in 2011, and said he could not be tried again on an obstruction of justice charge that resulted from a steroids probe . 'I am humbled and truly thankful for the outcome as well as the opportunity our judicial system affords to all individuals to seek justice.' Now 50, Bonds said 'I am excited about what the future holds for me as I embark on the next chapter.' Bonds broke Hank Aaron's long-standing career record of 755 homers in 2007, finished that season with 762 and was indicted that December for his testimony before a grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, when he answered a question about injections by saying he was 'a celebrity child.' He was convicted of the obstruction charge in 2011, and a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the conviction in 2013. But the larger group, which listened to arguments from prosecutors and Bonds' lawyers last September, concluded there was insufficient evidence his initial evasive answer was material to the grand jury's probe. 'The most one can say about this statement is that it was non-responsive and thereby impeded the investigation to a small degree by wasting the grand jury's time and trying the prosecutors' patience,' Judge Alex Kozinski wrote. baseball player: Pittsburgh Pirates Barry Bonds sits in the dugout at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium before his first major league start against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Pittsburgh, May 30, 1986 . 'Real-life witness examinations, unlike those in movies and on television, invariably are littered with non-responsive and irrelevant answers.' Jessica Wolfram, one of the jurors who convicted Bonds following the three-week trial and four days of deliberations, said she couldn't help but feel the decade-long prosecution was 'all a waste, all for nothing.' 'Just a waste of money, having the whole trial and jury,' she said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. In testifying before the grand jury, Bonds claimed he didn't realize substances he used were illegal performance-enhancing drugs. The appellate judges based their decision on legal issues involving witness testimony, not the underlying facts.

+{"article": "The Shepherd\u2019s Life: A Tale of the Lake District . by James Rebanks . (Allen Lane \u00a316.99) When, in 2002, my family and I moved from busy North London to bucolic north Herefordshire, we found that our new neighbours were, overwhelmingly, sheep. I didn\u2019t want to be one of those townies who moves to the country but remains ignorant of rural ways, so I made sporadic efforts to get to know them, or at least, to get to understand life on a sheep farm. When my children were small, I asked the obliging farmer whose land abuts our garden if they could watch his ewes lambing. And I still often tell him that I\u2019d like to spend some time alongside him, to see how his days unfold. To which he always smiles, no doubt wondering, metropolitan softie that I still really am, how I\u2019d cope with the early starts and the relentless physical graft. This wonderful book has filled in most of the gaps in my education, without any 4.30am alarm calls. James Rebanks studied at the University of Oxford before returning to his roots in the Lake District, he is seen here with his sheep on his farm outside of Penrith in Cumbria . It is the enlightening, exquisitely written account, give or take a few autobiographical tangents, of a year in the life of James Rebanks, whose family has been farming in the Lake District for at least six centuries. He was born into a job from which, now in his 40s, he takes infinite pride. All the same, it is no life for the faint-hearted. Every year, spring and autumn feel like flimsy bookends to a long, harsh winter, and his Herdwick sheep \u2014 descended, he thinks, from animals that arrived with the Vikings \u2014 are built for the fells in ways that even the hardiest shepherds are not. Making hay, linked by an old proverb to images of glorious sunny days, can be \u2018a bitch of a job\u2019. And while working with livestock is a series of small, predictable daily challenges, sometimes the challenges are bigger, and not at all predictable. With starkly effective prose, he brilliantly evokes the horror of the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak. After police snipers had arrived on his farm, \u2018the fields were speckled with our dead cattle . . . Strangely peaceful, they lay in all sorts of mangled and contorted ways. I knew those cattle, so it was like seeing old friends dead\u2019. As for the sheep, 95 per cent of the world\u2019s Herdwicks live within 20 miles of Coniston, and were in danger of extinction. \u2018But an essentially urban government didn\u2019t understand.

The problem with that is a decent chunk of Arsenal\u2019s supporters feel he doesn\u2019t deserve much. That became obvious on Thursday, when one prominent fan called for the removal of a Fabregas banner from the Ken Friar Bridge. Cesc Fabregas returns to Arsenal on Sunday and Arsene Wenger hopes fans will give him a good reception . Wenger wants 'respect' for the club's former players and counts Fabregas as a man who deserves that . Gunners fans offer their good luck to Fabregas in 2011, but the reception is likely to be more frosty this time . Extreme, perhaps, but this is an emotive issue which continues to bubble away at the club where Fabregas built his career, not least because the circumstances behind his summer move from Barcelona to Chelsea are still as clear as mud. Any clarity, it seems, will have to wait. Wenger was at his cryptic best on Thursday when asked if it was his call to not take up an option he had to re-sign the player, saying: \u2018We will have to discuss that one day. With all the terms.\u2019 When pressed on whether it was his decision, he added: \u2018It\u2019s not as clean as that. I cannot speak to you about that now because that will not help us to win on Sunday.\u2019 At that point it was suggested to Wenger that Fabregas chose not to come back and Wenger said: \u2018I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t know.\u2019 The Frenchman has previously claimed that by the time he knew Fabregas was available, a deal with Chelsea was virtually concluded \u2014 comments which jarred a little with the Spaniard\u2019s statement last summer that Arsenal \u2018decided not to take\u2019 their option. Whatever, it would be ambitious for Fabregas to expect an overwhelmingly positive reception on Sunday. The midfielder set up Diego Costa to seal a 2-0 victory for Chelsea against Arsenal earlier this season . Certainly, there was already a degree of disappointment within the club about how their relationship with the player ended when he left in 2011. But Wenger said: \u2018I want every player to be respected, and Cesc Fabregas when he comes to the Emirates on Sunday, (I want him) to be respected like he deserves.\u2019 Wenger added: \u2018The regret I have is that he wanted to leave here. This club and myself had a very positive influence on Cesc\u2019s life, so I would be a bit uncomfortable to have to justify today why he is not here.\u2019 When he returns, it will be as a key part of the champions-elect and under a manager in Jose Mourinho who has won seven and drawn five of his 12 meetings with Wenger.

Rodgers has come under-fire following a disappointing third season with the Anfield outfit - which has led to some unhappy fans calling for his dismissal. Not since the 1950 has a previous Liverpool manager gone three campaigns without a trophy, but that is the unwanted fate that will meet the 42-year-old at the end of this term. Liverpool must keep faith with under-fire manager Brendan Rodgers, believes ex-Kop striker Stan Collymore . The Reds' FA Cup semi-final exit against Aston Villa on Sunday followed defeat at the same stage of the Capital One Cup by Chelsea. A season of false hope was compounded further as the club failed to progress past the Champions League group stages and were then dumped out of the Europa League on penalties. To make for a gloomier outlook, the Merseysiders' hopes of a top four spot seem remote - as they trail fourth-placed Manchester City by seven points with six games remaining. Liverpool's fortunes are in stark contrast to last season when they came agonisingly close to being crowned champions of England for the first time since 1990. And speaking on TalkSPORT, Collymore is adamant that Rodgers is still the correct figure to make the Reds a force to be reckoned with once more. 'I believe Liverpool should have patience with Brendan Rodgers,' the Kick Off host said. Rodgers (right) saw his team dumped out of the FA Cup semi-finals by Aston Villa at Wembley on Sunday . 'The reasons are quite simple: He is a very good coach, he has a proven track record - going back to Chelsea under Jose Mourinho - of promoting youth, developing youth and giving them an opportunity. 'What he didn't have, having been at two smaller clubs in Swansea City and Reading, is a track record of spending big money, which he needs to do to take Liverpool onto the next level. 'But, he took Liverpool to two semi-finals this season and they were within a whisker of winning the Premier League title for the first time ever last season. 'So, for me, Brendan Rodgers is the right man.'

This is also prime territory for a gallery\u00ad lover like me: the beautiful, elegant and not-\u00adtoo-\u00adbig Mauritshuis was restored last year. This is also the home of Girl With A Pearl Earring, the 'Dutch Mona Lisa'. But I am not only here for the Vermeer, Rembrandt and Hals.

Meanwhile, I am being charmed by an unsuspected delight: this medieval city by the sea. 'City? This is Europe's biggest village,' says my guide, Remco D\u00f6rr. He is right: The Hague, despite being home to Holland's royal family and an eye-\u00adcatching parliament, was classed as a village until Louis Bonaparte (Napoleon's brother and king of Holland) set up here in 1806. It has a genteel moat/canal, which encircles the historic centre. We step across and in front of an approaching car, which slows down deferentially. Remco tells me that many traffic lights have been taken out for aesthetic reasons. 'Now, the cars are very careful,' he says. The Hague is home to one of the cornerstones of European art - Vermeer's Girl With A Pearl Earring . You have to love that kind of Dutch logic - though it doesn't seem to apply to cyclists, who rule the place. Next time, I will rent a bicycle, although the trams and buses are easy and cheap (an all-day pass costs \u20ac7.70/\u00a35.60). Over the moat, we are in Noordeinde street. Remco ushers me into what used to be part of a palace, and still has huge chandeliers and ornate mirrors. This cobbled part of town is home to private galleries and unassuming cafes (I snacked in the Juni Lekkernijen), as well as altogether more assuming ones. HanTing is the latest Michelin star in town and the best place for Indonesian cuisine. The most prized Dutch colony was apparently run from The Hague (aka 'the Widow of Indonesia'). For summer: the excellent Grapes & Olives and the Caf\u00e9 de Bieb on Veenkade will have boats on a newly renovated bit of canal, with music and boat trips planned, including a tour at the Kompaan brewery (I can vouch for the product).

But internet law experts say the company behind the letters will have a hard time following through on the threats because it is very difficult to prove who is legally responsible for the downloading. The Federal Court ruled on Tuesday that Australian internet companies, including iiNet and other ISPs, should hand over the names and residential addresses of 4,726 people who illegally shared the film. Scroll down for video . Internet companies will have to reveal names, IP addresses and residential addresses of 4,726 people who uploaded the film The Dallas Buyers Club online illegally .

'If they're not guilty and had an open access point that was unsecured or were very free to giving their password out to people then maybe they do have the defence that it wasn't them.

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams has described the notorious abduction and murder of Jean McConville as 'what happens in wars'. In an interview on US television, he sparked outrage by suggesting that incidents like Mrs McConville\u2019s murder happened \u2018in every single conflict\u2019. The comments have angered relatives of Mrs McConville, whose abduction, disappearance and subsequent murder became one of the most shocking events of The Troubles. She was 37 when she was taken by a masked gang from her home in Belfast in front of her children. She was accused by republicans of being a British Army informer, suffocated with a plastic bag and shot dead. Her remains were eventually discovered by a dog walker buried in a dune on Shelling Hill Beach in County Louth in 2003, ending decades of torment for her relatives and enabling them to finally give her a proper burial. Last year Mr Adams, who has long denied he was even in the IRA, was arrested by police investigating Mrs McConville\u2019s murder. He denied any involvement and was released without charge. But then last month, the influential American magazine the New Yorker named Gerry Adams as a former IRA commander who personally passed \u2018death sentences\u2019 on its enemies. It published a damning 15,000-word assessment of allegations against him and claimed that Adams himself issued the order to \u2018disappear\u2019 Mrs McConville. The mother-of-ten, pictured with three of her children, disappeared from her Belfast home in 1972 . In an interview with CBS this weekend, Mr Adams insisted that he did not know about Mrs McConville\u2019s killing. He said that he only reported himself to the police last year after a \u2018tsunami of stories\u2019 about his alleged involvement that were based on reports of interviews given by former IRA paramilitaries to Boston College in the US. Mr Adams said: \u2018They (the police) said that I was a senior manager of the IRA at managerial level so I\u2019m bound to have known. I told them I didn\u2019t. In the preview of the interview, which will be shown in full on Sunday, CBS presenter Scott Pelley said: \u2018It was known to the IRA and you\u2019re saying you didn\u2019t know? Mr Adams said: \u2018Yes\u2019 McConville's daughter Helen McKendry described Gerry Adams as having 'blood on his hands' Mr Pelley asked: \u2018How do you orphan 10 children?

Following the first three races of the new Formula One season it is clear Mercedes will not have it all their own way as Ferrari appear poised to push them all the way. Wolff's remark also comes in the wake of Nico Rosberg's moaning over the team radio during Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix about how slow team-mate Lewis Hamilton was driving.

Hamilton insisted he was merely looking after his tyres to ensure they lasted during the crucial middle stint of the race, with the 30-year-old exonerated of any wrongdoing by Wolff and Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda. But Wolff has confirmed that with pressure from Ferrari, rather than his drivers simply allowed to fight it out between themselves as was the case last season, there may be decisions taken on the pit wall during a race that could anger one or the other. The British driver won the Chinese grand prix but has come under fire from his Mercedes team-mate . 'It may be if we are risking a win against Ferrari we would make an unpopular call, not to freeze everything, but manage them more,' Wolff said. 'Our number one objective, which is what we have decided with the drivers, is we have a big responsibility to the team and the brand.

'We have seen in the past a clear team order that has stated 'you are not allowed to overtake' even though the driver behind may be faster, for example. 'This is not something I can honestly see happening. Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel have proved surprise tough competition in the race for the Championship .

Head coach John Carver said before the game he had a secret motivational tactic up his sleeve and would only reveal what it was following victory. Well, we'll never know what he used in a forlorn attempt to rouse his players. But we do know it didn't work. Phil Neville was scathing in his assessment of Newcastle a fortnight ago when he said that their application during the 3-0 defeat at Everton was reminiscent of a set of players with one eye on their summer holidays. Neville was at the Stadium of Light on Sunday and, rather than prove him wrong as a livid Carver promised his men would, they played like a side with their flip-flops on.

Mr Doyle was helping youngsters cross the road to Wellington School in Timperley, Greater Manchester (pictured), where his wife is a dinnerlady . To show his disapproval, Mr Doyle tapped his lollipop stick on the roof of the BMW as it hurtled past and then, when the driver stopped, told him to be more careful. But after Rustemi had dropped off his daughter at a different school, he returned to the crossing minutes later in a fit of temper and attacked Mr Doyle, who was still helping pupils cross the road. As children and parents looked on in horror, the incensed businessman threw a punch towards Mr Doyle\u2019s face. It failed to connect but managed to knock off his glasses. He then punched Mr Doyle in the chest causing him to fall over backwards into the road where he sat gasping for breath. The former pub landlord was taken to hospital where he was found to have suffered a fractured rib and a punctured lung. Kosovo-born Rustemi, from Stockport, escaped a jail sentence this week after admitting assault causing actual bodily harm and dangerous driving. Instead, he was handed a six-month suspended jail term, ordered to pay Mr Doyle \u00a32,000 in compensation, told to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work and banned from the roads for 12 months.

Mr Doyle, who has been married for 55 years to Jean, 80, a dinner lady, took the job as a \u2018patrol crossing officer\u2019 three years ago to stave off boredom during retirement. Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester heard that the incident happened at 8.30am on January 20 while he was working outside Wellington School, a secondary school, in Timperley, Greater Manchester. Yesterday Mr Doyle, who had to take six weeks off work following the attack, said: \u2018It was an extraordinary thing.

The Gloucester No 8 has not played since breaking his left leg during an Aviva Premiership game against Saracens in early January. But the signs suggest he is on course to play a part during England's World Cup warm-up period ahead of the tournament kicking off in mid-September. Ben Morgan is hopeful of featuring for England at the forthcoming World Cup despite his long-term injury . Morgan last featured for England when he scored two tries during their victory over Australia five months ago. Injury then struck, and he missed the entire RBS 6 Nations campaign as a result. The 26-year-old, though, remains an integral part of England boss Stuart Lancaster's World Cup plans, and the current prognosis is a good one after Morgan recently underwent final surgery to remove a pin from his leg. 'To be honest, I have not found this difficult at all,' said 27 times-capped Morgan, after watching his Gloucester colleagues continue their preparations for Friday night's European Challenge Cup final against Edinburgh. 'I am really positive and using this as a great experience to make myself better for when I come back. Who else gets six months off to rest up and train hard? 'Yes, I will be at a disadvantage in terms of the fact I haven't played any rugby. 'But looking at the World Cup in particular, there will be lads who wouldn't have played for probably two and a bit months going into the first (warm-up) game, so everyone is going to be on an equal playing field.

Gloucester No 8 Morgan broke his left leg playing against Saracens in the Aviva Premiership in January . 'I have a lot of strengthening to do around my legs - in the early stages you don't want to rush that. When things strengthen up, that's when I can start chucking some serious tin around. 'I had an operation last week. It is a case of seeing if things affect my ankle, and if they don't, then I can do them again. 'It is very reactive. I just have to take it day by day. It could be a couple of weeks down the line or a couple of months down the line when I run again, but there is no point rushing this sort of thing.' Lancaster is due to name a 45-man World Cup training squad next month, followed by his final 31-man group for the tournament in late August.

+{"article": "The handwritten notes of Samir al- Khlifawi explains in detail how ISIS were able to take control in Syria by infiltrating villages and using spies . The rapid growth and establishment of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has been far from an accidental rise of religious fanaticism, but a calculated move orchestrated by one of Saddam Hussein's closest men. A cache of documents, including the blueprints for an ISIS secret service and instructions on how to infiltrate and take control of local villages have been discovered in Syria, Der Spiegel reveals. The handwritten charts and notes of Samir al-Khlifawi, a former Iraqi Army colonel better known by nom de guerre Haji Bakr, explains in detail how ISIS were able to take control in the area. Earlier this month, MailOnline reported that ISIS militants are being led by a highly secretive group of strategists and officials that were once senior figures in Saddam Hussein's army. Despite thousands of foreign fighters flocking to join the Sunni extremist group and starring in their propaganda videos, ISIS' leadership is dominated by ex-members of the late Iraqi dictator's military. Almost all of the regional commanders appointed by ISIS' leader and self-declared caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, played prominent roles in the Baathist army before the 2003 invasion of Iraq and became involved with ISIS either in the resulting insurgency or after the dictator's 2006 execution. Haji Bakr is widely considered to have been ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's closest advisor and the overall head of his military council until his execution at the hands of a rebel group known as the Syrian Martyr's Brigade in January 2014. The new documents detailing the plans to take over Syrian villages and establish the caliphate, seen by the German magazine, were found in Haji Bakr's former home in Tal Rifaat, north of Aleppo in Syria, after his death. The 'blueprints' outline exactly how the group intended to infiltrate villages and cities by recruiting young men as spies and establishing a 'Stasi-like' secret service for internal surveillance. Haji Bakr writes how the group would open a 'Dawah office', an Islamic missionary centre, which would be used as a cover to screen young men for potential suitability. One or two men, in their late teens or early 20s, would then be asked to spy on their village on behalf of what would then become the Islamic State.

+{"article": "A man who died in Texas of the human version of mad cow disease last year likely contracted it from eating beef raised in Britain, a CDC report has revealed. The unnamed man, who died from variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob (vCJD) disease in May 2014, just 18 months after he first showed symptoms, was a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from the Middle East. The report concluded the man's illness resulted from his eating tainted UK beef before he moved to the United States in the 1990s. The extreme rarity of the disease, especially in the United States, led the man--who was in his 40s--to be misdiagnosed with psychiatric symptoms before ultimately receiving the vCJD death sentence. Contracted in the 1990s: A man who died in Texas of the human version of mad cow disease last year likely contracted it from eating beef raised in Britain, a CDC report has revealed . American public health officials were concerned initially because the man hadn't previously lived in either the United Kingdom or Saudi Arabia, where all three previously documented victims of vCJD in the United States had lived previously. However, the joint investigation between the CDC and Baylor College of Medicine concluded the man likely contracted the disease over a decade before moving to the U.S. He'd lived in Kuwait, Russia and Lebanon--all countries where the United Kingdom exported its beef, reports Live Science. The man, after doctors finally came to suspect vCJD, had his blood, urine and spinal fluid tested for the disease, but only his urine came back positive. After his death, an autopsy allowed brain tissue to be tested. It indicated conclusively the man suffered from vCJD. 'The potential difficulty in making the clinical diagnosis in many patients with vCJD and the delay with which the disease is first suspected raises the concern that vCJD can be missed,' wrote the researchers. Destroys the brain and spinal cord: Brain tissue showing spongiotic changes in the cortex, and loss of neurons in a case of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease . WHAT IS MAD COW DISEASE? Mad cow disease is a fatal neurological disease in cattle caused by an abnormal form of a prion protein that destroys the brain and spinal cord. The disease was first identified in Great Britain in 1986, although research suggests that the first infections may have spontaneously occurred in the 1970s. The disease is believed to be spread by feeding calves meat and bone meal contaminated with BSE or scrapie, a prion disease in sheep. Illnesses similar to BSE also have been seen in elk, deer and exotic zoo animals. There were 36,000 diagnosed cases of mad cow disease in Great Britain in 1992, during that height of a mad cow epidemic there. Twenty-nine cases were diagnosed worldwide in 2011, according to the American Meat Institute. WHO GETS variant CJD? Since variant CJD was first reported in 1996, a total of 229 patients with this extremely rare disease from 12 countries have been identified. According to CDC.gov, 177 of those patients were from the United Kingdom.

The driver, known as Salim, is alleged to have assaulted the tourist in Jaipur on Friday evening. The man, from Todabhim in Karauli district of Rajasthan, is accused of assaulting the 20-year-old woman and is being held in custody. A spokesman for Rajasthan Police said they had taken statements from the woman and her friend, India Times reported. 'We have arrested taxi driver Salim on a complaint filed by a British tourist on early Saturday.' said the man. 'He was arrested under Section 354 of IPC (Indian Penal Code). He was sent to judicial custody,' His arrest follows a number of incidents reported to have taken place in India against tourists and locals, which have led to widespread protests. On February 8 a Japanese tourist filed a complaint accusing a tout of raping her in Dudu, around 60km away from Jaipur. The woman had been on a tour when the man allegedly approached her and offered his service as a guide. In March a 75-year-old Indian nun was gang raped by a group of eight robbers when she confronted them after they broke in to the Convent of Jesus and Mary School in West Bengal state's Nadia district. There is a heightened sensitivity to the issue of sexual assault in India at the moment after officials last month banned India's Daughter, a documentary about the gang rape and murder of an Indian student in Delhi. Officials said the documentary would cause further disorder if it was shown, following a number of protests and incidents of vigilante justice in the country. The documentary explained the brutal rape and murder of 23-year-old student Jyoti Singh, who was attacked on a bus when she returned home from the cinema. Recent attacks in India have resulted in street protests with many calling for more protection for women . One of the six men convicted of the attack, bus driver Mukesh Singh, was interviewed in prison and told researchers that had Jyoti not fought back she would not have been killed. Her death led to protests throughout India and outraged the world. Jyoti Singh Pandey, a physiotherapy student, was gang raped as she travelled on a bus. The 23-year-old suffered in hospital for 13 days from her injuries before she died. Vinay Sharma, 20, Akshay Thakur, 28, Pawan Gupta, 19, and Mukesh Singh, 26, were all sentenced to death for her rape. Ram Singh, co-accused and widely considered the leader of the group, was found dead in his cell. A minor also found guilty was sentenced to three years in a reformatory institution. Her death sparked angry protests in India and internationally about misogyny in the country. The attention forced judges to prioritise the case and the lawyer's association in Saket reportedly refused to defend the perpetrators.

The 50-year-old has suffered a torrid time since replacing Alan Pardew as head coach at St James' Park until at least the end of the season. Pardew's former assistant has managed just two wins in 14 games in all competitions to date and has seen his side lose their last five Barclays Premier League fixtures, a run which has allowed the chasing pack to close and threaten to drag the club into a shock relegation fight.

But we are professionals and have to get on with it. I'm quite a positive guy inside my head and I know I can do the job. I just need the tools.

However, the jerky puppets that rescued the world from all kinds of disaster have been replaced by computer-generated figures. In a nod to 21st-century political correctness, there are also more women and several multicultural characters have been added. Geeky scientist Brains has lost his bow tie for an open-neck shirt and has been given an Indian accent.

There were 32 50-minute episodes over two series, shown in 66 countries. The show spawned a merchandising frenzy, with more than 3,000 Thunderbirds products, from puppets and lunchboxes to T-shirts, so much so that December 1966 was dubbed Thunderbirds Christmas.

Now the father-of-one says he has been cancer-free since his last scan in January - and puts the class-B drug down to his miracle recovery. David Hibbitt, 33, claims doctors said he had between 18 months and five years to live after being diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer. In desperation, he tried cannabis oil, which he now credits with his recovery .

+{"article": "The ethnic minority population in Britain will more than double by the middle of this century, meaning one in four Britons will be from black or minority groups by 2051, research shows. The huge rise will be due to a baby boom among Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and African immigrants who usually come to this country during their young, child bearing years. Campaigners fear that this sudden increase will put pressure on housing, schools and the NHS, and worsen the quality of life in Britain as a whole. A baby boom among ethnic minorities in the UK will see numbers rocket by the middle of the century, according to new data, with a quarter of Britons coming from a minority background by 2051 . The research, carried out by Leeds University and reported in The Times, shows that overall, between 2011 and 2051, the UK's population will rise from 63.4 million to 77.4 million. While the number of white Britons will increase over that time, by almost three million, the minority population will increase more than three times faster, by 10 million. By the midpoint of the 21st century, minority ethnic communities will make up 24.3 per cent of the total population, compared with 12.8 per cent during the 2011 census. In contrast the proportion of whites will drop from 87.2 per cent in 2011 to 75.7 per cent in 2015. The sudden rise in the ethnic minority population marks an increase on predictions from the same university just five years ago. In an almost identical study, published in July 2010, professors at Leeds University predicted that ethnic minorities would make up around a fifth of the total population by 2051. In the same study they also predicted that British society would become much more integrated, with those from ethnic minorities moving into more affluent areas. Professor Philip Rees, who led the project, said: 'The ethnic makeup of UK's population is evolving significantly. 'Groups outside the White British majority are increasing in size and share, not just in the areas of initial migration, but throughout the country and our projections suggest that this trend is set to continue through to 2051. While the white British population will increase between now and 2051, the minority population will increase nearly three times as fast, meaning they will make up a greater share of the population . 'At a regional level, ethnic minorities will shift out of deprived inner city areas to more affluent areas, which echoes the way white groups have migrated in the past. 'In particular black and Asian populations in the least deprived local authorities will increase significantly.' The new research is likely to cause anxiety for those pushing for greater control of British borders, including an in-out referendum on the EU, or a renegotiation of the open borders treaty.

Other party stalwarts likely to be ennobled after the election are former leaders Charles Kennedy who may lose his seat of Ross, Skye and Lochaber, and Sir Menzies Campbell who is standing down. The Lib Dems believe in ultimately tearing up the current House of Lords and making it a fully elected chamber. Their interim plan is to cut the number of peers to 450. However while they wait for support from other parties for Lords reform, they are likely to continue adding to the ranks of their 99 appointed and four hereditary Lib Dem peers.

If made a peer, Mr Alexander could serve as a minister in a second coalition particularly with the Tories who he has worked closely with as a member of the \u2018quad\u2019 which approved coalition policy. According to party rules, a coalition with either the Tories or Labour would have to be voted on by Lib Dem members, who may oppose it, in the belief that the party needs a spell in opposition.

Bath's qualities are channeled through their attack, with Mike Ford giving the likes of England backs George Ford, Jonathan Joseph and Anthony Watson a licence to play with flair. WEAKNESSES .

A Turkish court imposed the blocks yesterday because photographs of the deadly siege in which Mehmet Selim Kiraz was killed were being widely shared on social media. The 46-year-old Turkish prosecutor died in hospital when two members of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) stormed a courthouse and took him hostage - uploading the photographs of Kiraz with a gun pointed at his head to social media in the process.

Shocking: A Turkish court had imposed the blocks because photographs of the deadly siege were being shared on social media and 'deeply upset' the wife and children of Mehmet Selim Kiraz. Access to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube was re-established after the social media sites agreed to remove photographs of the deadly siege, which Turkey has branded 'anti-government propaganda'. However Turkey has since threatened to block access to Google unless images of the siege are removed from its search function. The journalists group, Turkish Press Council, said that while it understood the authorities concerns over the publication of the prosecutors' photographs, it said banning social media websites was in conflict with democracy. 'It is meaningless to totally shut down social platforms - which contain billions of useful information - to the use of the Turkish people because of some unsuitable content,' the group said. Users meanwhile were sharing information on how to get around the ban on the Internet. Kiraz and both of his captors were killed when Turkish security forces took back the building where the far-left group was holding him. Gunshots were heard and smoke could be seen rising from the scene at the end of the six-hour stand-off.

Messages, which were aimed at making the woman have sex with him, continued for more than a year. She was fired after the boss allegedly forced Ganci into a bathroom and put his hand up her shirt in 2009 on a day when his wife was not at work.

Mr Buckley \u2013 who suffered from diabetes and weighed only 8st \u2013 fell to the floor in the M&S aisle and broke his thighbone and wrist. When a shop assistant rushed to help him, he allegedly told her: 'She rammed me.'

But on Christmas Day his condition worsened after he suffered what doctors believe was a heart attack. He was taken into intensive care and put on a life- support machine. Two months later, the decision was taken to turn off the machine and he was pronounced dead. Prosecuting at Croydon Crown Court yesterday, David Howker QC said Miss Buck, 33, was out shopping with her mother on December 22, 2012.

Mr Buckley, who wore a hearing aid and was described as 'frail', arrived after her and the pair bumped into each other in a food aisle. Mr Howker said: 'It appears there was something of a gridlock in the aisle and the defendant could not get past him.

He added: 'Miss Buck assaulted Mr Buckley causing him to fall to the floor and injure himself and cause the chain of events that led to his death. She is responsible for that death.'

Hamilton crosses the line in Bahrain ahead of Kimi Raikkonen to claim his third win from four races this term . Lewis probably will not want to hear it, judging by how he has previously dismissed Stewart\u2019s opinions, honestly given when sought as a pundit who speaks with all the authority of the most successful British Formula One driver in history. Hamilton said grouchily, that he was disappointed ex-drivers were not being more supportive, as if blind adoration was his birthright. Here are just a few reasons why Hamilton should listen to Sir Jackie. He drove in an era when a driver racing for five years had a two in three chance of dying. He changed that through tireless campaigning for safety measures to save not only drivers but spectators from preventable injuries. And then there is his charitable work for a children\u2019s club in the east end of London, for mechanics fallen on hard times, and dyslexia societies. There is also his considerable contribution to British industry over more than 40 years. A perfectionist, he will quietly remove a hair of your lapel as he speaks to you.

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.

Scroll down for video .

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.'

David Lammy, who is standing for London Mayor, said the SNP was a party Labour could 'do business with' in the event of another hung Parliament. The admission comes amid increasingly stark warnings from the Tories that the SNP will hold Labour to 'ransom' if it holds the balance of power in Parliament next month. Scroll down for video . David Lammy, appearing on ITV News last night, said the SNP was a party Labour could 'do business with' in the event of another hung Parliament . Polls suggest Nicola Sturgeon's party are on course to win up to 50 seats on May 7 \u2013 wiping out any hopes of a Labour majority. But the Scottish First Minister has vowed to work with Mr Miliband to 'lock out' David Cameron from Number 10 in exchange for higher government spending, more taxes and increased borrowing. Former prime minister John Major will today warn that Britain faces a 'daily dose of blackmail' from the SNP if they have the power to bring down a Labour government. With 16 days to polling on May 7, Sir John will say that a Labour-SNP administration would lead to 'weak and unstable' government and wreck Britain's economic recovery. Mr Miliband has ruled out joining a formal coalition with the SNP but has refused to be drawn on whether he could work with them on a vote-by-vote basis. However, speaking on ITV News last night, Mr Lammy went further \u2013 insisting that a deal with the SNP could be struck. Mr Miliband meanwhile has accused the Prime Minister of 'threatening the integrity of the United Kingdom' by talking up the prospects of Scottish nationalists in the May 7 General Election . Speaking on Newsnight last night Mr Miliband insisted he would not form a Coalition with the SNP after the election . He said: 'We are fighting for a victory. I think we can win this election. But clearly, after the general election, you would forge common alliance with parties that you can actually do business with, and the SNP must be part of that story.' It comes after Labour's shadow House of Commons leader Angela Eagle said in the event of a hung parliament Labour 'would speak to any party that has got representation in the House of Commons in order to try to build a majority for a Queen's Speech that the country desperately needs'. Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the admission exposed the threat posed by an SNP-Labour alliance. He told MailOnline: 'One of Ed Miliband's most senior MPs is openly talking about forming a 'common alliance' with the SNP. Nicola Sturgeon has called on Ed Miliband to forge an 'anti Tory' alliance . 'The British public will pay through their noses for the higher taxes, the higher debt and the higher benefit payments an SNP-Miliband government will rack up.'

Txiki Begiristain, City\u2019s director of football met the Borussia Dortmund manager and concluded that he was not the right fit for City \u2013 and the club went on to appoint Manuel Pellegrini. Begiristain\u2019s meeting and rejection of Klopp back in 2013 adds weight to the growing evidence that Klopp will not get the Manchester City job even though the Borussia Dortmund manager quit this week, fuelling a wave of speculation about which Premier League clubs might want to appoint him this summer. Manchester City have already met Jurgen Klopp to assess him for the manager\u2019s job \u2013 but it was back in 2013 . The Dortmund boss will leave the club at the end of this season, with suggestions he could take over at City . Pellegrini\u2019s position is clearly vulnerable given City\u2019s failures this year on all fronts \u2013 in the Champions League, which was the principal target, the Premier League and the domestic cups. However, there is an insistence at the club that it should be not be automatically assumed that Pellegrini will be dismissed as, unlike when Mancini went, the club is running smoothly off the pitch without the internal tensions and disagreements which characterised Mancini\u2019s last days. There will be the usual end-of-season review of the manager\u2019s performance but this would take place every season, whatever success or not had been achieved. Pellegrini will clearly have to answer difficult questions about the team\u2019s under performance, especially as they have sunk to fourth place and run the risk of being overhauled by Liverpool for the Champions League. However, Begiristain would also expect to answer questions about the recruitment of players last summer such as Eliaquim Mangala for \u00a335million and Fernando for \u00a313m, neither of whom has made an impact. On the plus side for Pellegrini, his style of play is seen as compatible with the type of club Begiristain and his colleague, chief executive Ferran Soriano, are attempting to create. City opted for Manuel Pellegrini after holding talks with both the Chilean and Klopp two years ago . Roberto Mancini left the Etihad Stadium in 2013 after failing to defend his Premier League crown . Director of football Txiki Begiristain will have questions to answer after signing Eliaquim Mangala (left) Both are former executives at Barcelona, where possession football and a strong academy were integral to the Catalan club and are now central to their vision City. Klopp\u2019s counter attacking football does not fit their philosophy and there was also a sense that his exuberant personality would not be the type of manager for which City were looking in 2013. However, despite the club\u2019s reassurances about Pellegrini, it is clear that his position will be under threat if not this summer then certainly next year, when Pep Guardiola\u2019s three-year deal with Bayern runs out. If City do decide to make the change this summer, Rafa Benitez will be avaible", "summary": "Manuel Pellegrini's job at Manchester City is precarious .

Fears of another season of domination from Mercedes were blown away by a shock, yet deserved victory for Sebastian Vettel last time out in Malaysia. It was the Maranello marque's first success for almost two years and at least offered hope to neutrals that reigning champion Lewis Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg will not have it all their own way. Sebastian Vettel won the second race of the season with victory in Malaysia last month . Vettel saw off the challenge from Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in Malaysia . In searing heat and high track temperatures the Ferraris of Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were far kinder on their tyres, stopping only twice compared to the three trips to the pits for Hamilton and Rosberg. This weekend's race at the Shanghai International Circuit, however, should favour Mercedes given the cooler climes than that of Sepang. Allison is certainly not expecting back-to-back Ferrari wins and said: 'Our car has a pretty decent cooling package. 'That allowed us to operate in the fierce temperatures like we experienced in Malaysia without having to open up the car. 'The track was also rough and hot, which is hard for tyres, and we're fortunate the car goes well on its tyres. Hamilton celebrates his win in Australia . 'Quite what problems were going on in Merc-land I don't know. 'But I'm fairly sure we will have our work cut out in China to do as impressive a job as we did in Malaysia.' As to whether Ferrari can stay the course with Mercedes and provide a season-long challenge, for now that is too difficult to determine. 'I don't know about that. I'll tell you at the end of the season,' remarked Allison with a smile. 'In Melbourne (the season-opening Australian Grand Prix) Mercedes were very, very dominant, and we were better than we looked. 'Even in free air we wouldn't have held a candle to them there. 'There is a lot of work for us to do before we can head into every race weekend confident we can hunt for the victory from the first session of that weekend. 'But we do have a fairly exciting development plan, and we've a lot of performance to bring. 'It should at least be an interesting season to see if we can close that gap so we are genuine contenders at any weekend.' Crucially, and what may yet be a determining factor, Allison added: 'Normally over the course of a season being kind to your tyres is the best thing you can be.'", "summary": "Ferrari won the second grand prix of the season in Malaysia .

But authorities say the woman, Geraldine R. Jones, never worked for the child-welfare agency and that her visit to Fleming's apartment in Anderson, about 30 miles north of Indianapolis, was part of an elaborate scheme to take the 17-day-old baby and claim the girl as her own.

Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna said he expected him to say sorry so the matter can be settled. Comey said last week, 'In their minds, the murderers and accomplices of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary, and so many, many other places didn't do something evil. 'They convinced themselves it was the right thing to do, the thing they had to do. That's what people do. And that should truly frighten us.' FBI director James Comey, pictured at a news conference last month, has caused huge offense to a U.S. ally by using language to suggest that Poles were accomplices in the Holocaust . Comey's comments are particularly offensive to Poles not only because they had no role in running Auschwitz and other death camps where Jews were murdered during World War II, but because they were themselves victims of the Third Reich. In all, 6 million Polish citizens were killed during the war, about half of them Jewish and the other half Christians, with many Polish priests, members of the intelligentsia and political resistance killed in Auschwitz and elsewhere. Poland also had a committed anti-Nazi resistance movement and Polish fighters fought alongside the Allies throughout the war.

Mull, a well-liked figure in Poland, went into damage-control mode. 'Saying that Poland and any other country other than Nazi Germany were responsible for the Holocaust is a mistake, is harmful and is offensive,' Mull said. 'Director Comey certainly did not mean to suggest that Poland was in any way responsible for those crimes.' In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf later echoed that sentiment, saying that 'Poles certainly bore a huge brunt of the barbarism of Nazi Germany.' 'Director Comey certainly did not intend to suggest otherwise, did not intend to suggest that Poland was in some way responsible for the Holocaust,' she said.

Last-ditch effort: Mrs Speidel wrote on GiveForward.com in late February that they had been living without gas all winter, had no running water and cut down their food intake to one meal a day . After having paid $500 to their landlord to prevent their immediate eviction, Mrs Speidel stated that they were left with only $33 to their name. To stretch their meager funds a little farther, the impoverished, ailing couple were forced to limit their food intake to a single meal a day and did not have enough scraps to feed their two cats. \u2018I have turned in every direction possible and don\u2019t know what else to do,\u2019 she wrote. \u2018If you can help, we will be forever grateful and will even pay you back once we get back on our feet.\u2019 The Speidles were hoping to raise $1,000, but the online campaign failed to draw any donations whatsoever. On Tuesday, the couple's landlord, Doug Elleman, arrived at their rental at 225 West High Avenue to discover a pink handwritten note warning passersby of carbon monoxide inside, reported Bellefontaine Examiner. Firefighters who were called to the scene entered the residence and discovered a pair of charcoal grills filled with smoldering coals. Jodi Speidel, 46, and her 45-year-old husband, Randy, were pronounced dead at the scene. Orpahns: The couple leave behind two daughters, Randa (pictured right as a baby with her father) and 20-year-old Kira Speidel . Columbus Dispatch reported that a note found nearby confirmed that the husband and wife had made a suicide pact. The couple had removed their beloved pet cats from the house to spare their lives. They were later found wandering outside. The couple leave behind two daughters, Randa and Kira Speidel. In a post left last month on her parents' GoFundMe.com page, which has since been removed, 20-year-old Kira called the couple 'the hardest-working people I know.' She went on to say that now that they can no longer work because of their physical ailments, 'they have nowhere to run.' Police Chief Brandon Standley said the town has resources available for people in need like the Speidels, adding that it's tragic that they thought they were all out of options.

In 1986 he fibbed that he was at a yard sale when he found the photograph in an antique frame. Inscribed on the back of the frame, he claimed, was 'CSS Georgia.' He told historians that he didn't have the $175 the owner wanted, so he took a photo of it and then mailed it to historical groups in Savannah. Potter has now admitted the sham and explained how he falsified the image. When he was a teenager in Savannah, Potter, his brother Jeffrey and a friend shot a short 8mm movie about the building \u2014 and destruction \u2014 of the CSS Georgia in a fictional battle with Union troops. For the movie, they built an 18-foot long boat of plywood and Styrofoam, as well as a smaller 2-foot model. They based the design, in part, on his grandfather's recollections of details passed down by word of mouth through generations of their family. Potter also used an illustration of the ironclad he found on a postcard. To create the fake image Potter's younger brother put on a coat and straw hat went out to a marsh with a cane fishing pole and Potter took a photo. He took another photo of the 2-foot model and cut out the boat's image, glued it onto the photo of his brother, then used dirt and glue to create the illusion of a photo faded by age and stained by water or chemicals. Evidence of the hoax: All elements of the fakery were snapped by Potter at one time. The small model boat here appears alongside the false picture, polaroids of it and a 1984 copy of Mad Magazine . He bought an old picture frame and beat it up even further. He put the photo in it. Then he drove 120 miles to a yard sale in Waycross, Georgia, put the picture down and took a Polaroid of it.

David Billing, 48, has told how he had to undergo 14 hours of surgery at Royal Derby Hospital, during which surgeons sawed through his jawbone and removed part of his tongue. Medics then replaced the lost tissue with muscle from Mr Billing's arm. The only drawback is that it still has hairs on it, and he now has to return to the hospital every few weeks to have it shaved. David Billing, 48, had to have part of his tongue removed after being diagnosed with mouth cancer, so doctors made him a new one out of skin from his arm - which still has hairs on it . The dramatic story began after Mr Billing, a part-time welder, went to his GP in October 2013 after being unable to swallow. After a second doctor's appointment, he was referred to Royal Derby where specialists discovered an ulcer on the right-hand side of his tongue and confirmed it was cancer after a biopsy. He said: 'Being told I had cancer was mind-blowing and a real low point for me. I had no idea when they found this ulcer in my mouth that this was what it would be.' It was a double-blow for Mr Billing, as he had been made redundant just a week before from his job at digger manufacturer JCB. He said: 'It was all so overwhelming. My life and everything was ticking along nicely and the next thing I knew I'd lost my job and needed to have a major operation.'

Mr Billing was forced to undergo 14 hours of surgery at Royal Derby Hospital (pictured), with surgeons sawing between two teeth and through his jaw to get to the tumour . 'They had to cut through the jawbone and get my face wide open to get to the ulcer then they had to remove some lymph nodes in my neck too, just to be safe in case the cancer had spread.' David spent nine days in hospital after his operation, returning now only for check-ups and once for the smaller procedure to reshape his tongue. He said: 'Usually, people have to go on chemotherapy or radiotherapy after the operation and, during this, the skin tissue used to rebuild the tongue shrinks in size. 'Because I didn't need either, it meant I later needed this smaller operation to have the bit of skin trimmed. 'My tongue's absolutely fine. I had to have speech therapy after the procedure but it's not had any long term impact on my speech or my eating or drinking.'

Above, troops walk across the island in 1982 . Britain struck oil in the Falklands yesterday, a discovery likely to escalate already heightened tensions with Argentina over the ownership of the islands. After nine months of exploratory drilling, a group of British companies found oil and gas in a remote field north of the islands. The bonanza, which could be worth billions of pounds, will add to fears of renewed conflict over the British overseas territory just days after Defence Secretary Michael Fallon warned of a \u2018very live threat\u2019 from Argentina. The discovery at the Zebedee exploratory well comes amid worsening relations with Buenos Aires, exactly 33 years after Argentina invaded the islands. Lord West of Spithead, a former First Sea Lord, said last night the find would lead to further claims by the Argentinians over the long-disputed territory in the South Atlantic. \u2018The rhetoric and sabre-rattling from Argentina will grow,\u2019 he added. \u2018The Argentinians have always been worried we will find oil and, given their economic state, they will think, \u201cWe should have it\u201d. \u2018We will have to be careful.

Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982, leading to a conflict that cost 260 British and 650 Argentine lives. The South American state still claims territorial rights to the islands. Britain pledged last week to invest \u00a3180million over the next ten years to defend the islands, with an upgrade of a surface-to-air missile system and the deployment of two Chinook helicopters. The commitment came after it was revealed earlier this year that Russia could be helping to re-arm Argentina. Scroll down for video .

+{"article": "It's official: alcohol makes you more attractive to the opposite sex. And that's when you are boozing, not them. Scientists at the University of Bristol found that having 'one large glass of wine' increases 'facial flushing' and 'confidence', making the drinker 'more attractive' to others and more likely to 'get lucky'. Researchers quizzed 40 heterosexual male and female students and asked them to rate the attractiveness of three groups of people who were sober, tipsy and drunk. A study of 40 men and women found drinking a glass of wine makes you more attractive to the opposite sex... ...but too much booze leads to 'excessive and unattractive' changes in facial expressions, like Bridget Jones . The study found that tipsy people, who had downed one large 250ml glass of 14 per cent wine - that's one-third of the bottle - were consistently voted as the 'most attractive'. Sober subjects and those who had 'had a few too many' were rated as far less attractive than a 'tipsy' subject. Academics have previously confirmed the existence of the 'beer goggles' phenomenon - in which boozers find other people more attractive after several drinks. This new study, however, is the first time it had been shown that the drinker themselves actually 'becomes more attractive' to others, in an experiment dubbed 'reverse beer goggles'. The study found that alcohol had a 'positive pulling power', but only if the subject was 'not hammered'. It states that booze 'mimics' how a person's body 'demonstrates it is healthy and attractive to attract potential mates' and that facial flushing is perceived by others as 'healthy and attractive'. Alcohol also makes people seem in a 'more positive or jolly mood' and encourages people to 'relax' and give off 'positive' signals, such as smiling - increasing their attractiveness levels. The study states: 'In addition to perceiving others as more attractive, an alcohol consumer may also be perceived by others as more attractive, and therefore receive greater sexual interest from potential mates. 'An increase in such attention from others may also positively reinforce alcohol consumption, particularly in social contexts.' The study found alcohol has 'positive pulling power' but only if the person isn't too intoxicated . The study said, however, that too much booze led to 'changes in facial expressions which were excessive and unattractive' - leading to a decrease in 'pulling power'. It adds: 'In conclusion, our data indicate that alcohol consumption may lead to consumers being rated as more attractive than sober individuals, but only following low levels of consumption. 'At higher levels of consumption this effect is not observed, and may even be reversed.' Professor Marcus Munafo, a senior researcher on the Bristol University study, said: 'The people who had consumed a small amount of alcohol had a slightly rosier complexion than they did in their sober and high-dose photos. 'Rosiness is attractive because it characterises good physical health characteristics. 'You consume a drink, so you see other people as more attractive, but you also become more attractive yourself because you've consumed a drink.

The dramatic event could explain why our planet has a hot core that gives it its magnetic field. And it could also explain why certain rare-earth elements in Earth\u2019s mantle do not seem to originate from the planet\u2019s other building blocks - meteorites. Oxford scientists say a Mercury-like body struck the young Earth (artist's illustration shown). The object would have been the heat source for our planet's core. The same object could have been responsible for creating the moon. It also explains where some rare-Earth elements came from . The study, by two scientists from the University of Oxford, was published in the journal Nature. Our current theory of Earth\u2019s formation involves basically more and more asteroids and other objects accumulating into one body. However, this model cannot explain where the heat source for Earth\u2019s core - and ultimately its magnetic field - came from. In addition, Earth\u2019s crust and mantle appear to have a higher ratio of the rare-earth elements samarium and neodymium than most meteorites - suggesting there was more at play in Earth\u2019s formation than first thought. To address this discrepancy, scientists believe that Earth was hit by a body that was the size of Mars - but like Mercury in its composition - early in its life. This likely would have happened about 4.5 billion years ago. The body would have been rich in sulphur but very poor in oxygen - just like Mercury. Many researchers believe the moon formed after Earth was hit by a planet the size of Mars billions of years ago. This is called the giant impact hypothesis. The hypothesis claims the moon is debris left over following an indirect collision between our planet and an astronomical body approximately 4.5 billion years ago. The colliding body is sometimes called Theia, after the mythical Greek Titan who was the mother of Selene, the goddess of the Moon. But one mystery has persisted, revealed by rocks the Apollo astronauts brought back from the moon - why are the moon and Earth so similar in their composition? Several different theories have emerged over the years to explain the similar fingerprints of Earth and the moon. Perhaps the impact created a huge cloud of debris that mixed thoroughly with the Earth and then later condensed to form the moon. Or Theia could have, coincidentally, been isotopically similar to young Earth. A third possibility is that the moon formed from Earthen materials, rather than from Theia, although this would have been a very unusual type of impact. Our current theory of Earth\u2019s (left) formation involves basically more and more asteroids and other objects accumulating into one body. Now scientists think that Earth was hit by a body that was the size of Mars, but like Mercury (right) in its composition, early in its life.

Condemned Staffordshire terrier Izzy is set to be destroyed after she bit a woman in August 2012 after escaping from her owner Tania Isbester's backyard in The Basin, east Melbourne, Victoria. Lawyers for Victorian woman Tania Isbester appealed to the High Court hoping to have her Staffordshire terrier, deemed aggressive by Knox City Council, saved from being put down. The woman who Izzy bit suffered a 1.5cm to her finger on August 4 in 2012, which is deemed as a 'serious injury' under the Domestic Animal Act in Victorian law, and Izzy was seized by the council in June 2013. This is the first time a dog on death row is having its case heard in Australia's highest court. Condemned Staffordshire terrier Izzy is set to be destroyed but could be saved by a final High Court bid . Richard Kendall QC, representing Ms Isbester, argued a member of the panel which determined Izzy's fate had a conflict of interest. Kirsten Hughes investigated the attack Izzy made in August 2012 and presented evidence at a later Magistrates Court hearing in which Ms Isbester pleaded guilty. Ms Hughes then informed her about a panel hearing to determine the dog's fate, before participating in it and helping to draw up the final reasons, Mr Kendall said. 'Ms Hughes had a fundamental part in the process of decision making,' he told the court, claiming she was both the accuser and acting as judge. Justice Patrick Keane took exception to that characterisation criticising the lawyer for 'sliding into personal attacks'. 'Well, I'll desist,' Mr Kendall conceded. Lawyers for the council argued there was no judge in the case, but rather an administrator making an administrative decision. Stephen Donaghue QC acknowledged Ms Hughes played a role on the panel, but said the final decision was made by another member. Ms Isbester had three Staffordshire terriers, including Izzy, which were involved in attacks on other dogs after escaping from her backyard in The Basin, a suburb in Melbourne's east. In 2013 she pleaded guilty to a charge relating to an 1.5cm cut allegedly caused by Izzy on the middle finger of a woman trying to pull the dog away from her daughters. A dog on death row will for the first time in history have its case heard in the High Court of Australia . The dog has been housed by the RSPCA since it was seized two years ago, sparking a lengthy legal battle. Lawyers representing the dog at no cost to the client say the local council that is fighting for Izzy's destruction in the High Court is wasting public money by perusing the case.

It has also been claimed Dr Warren Weinstein, from Rockville, Maryland, and a fellow aid worker were used as a shield to protect a senior Al Qaeda operative while in captivity. The 73-year-old was killed alongside Giovanni Lo Porto during an anti-terrorist strike on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border intended to kill members of the group. His family yesterday slammed their response to his abduction, and it has now been claimed that they transferred an undisclosed amount of money to his kidnappers two years before his death. A source in Pakistan who was in regular contact with the captors told CNN that after the money exchanged hands, they started demanding the release of prominent Afghan prisoners. They included the 'poster girl' for jihad Dr. Aafia Siddiqui - who is currently serving an 86-year prison sentence in the United States for the attempted murder of a United States Army captain. Sources suggest the family of American hostage Dr Warren Weinstein, who was killed during a US drone strike in January, gave money to his kidnappers.

When they stopped calling, CNN's source could not contact them as he had no phone number for the captors. He did not reveal how much money had been handed over.

Victim: Martin Richard died at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, after the Tsarnaev brothers set off twin pressure cooker bombs . While the Richards say they are thankful to the government prosecutors for their 'tireless and committed' work to bring justice, they are now asking them to drop the fight for execution and sign a plea deal to send the 21-year-old to jail for the rest of his life. 'We know that the government has its reasons for seeking the death penalty, but the continued pursuit of that punishment could bring years of appeals and prolong reliving the most painful day of our lives,' the Richards wrote. 'We hope our two remaining children do not have to grow up with the lingering, painful reminder of what the defendant took from them, which years of appeals would undoubtedly bring.' They say sentencing Tsarnaev to death will only bring continued pain for themselves and the other hundreds of bombing victims. 'As long as the defendant is in the spotlight, we have no choice but to live a story told on his terms, not ours. The minute the defendant fades from our newspapers and TV screens is the minute we begin the process of rebuilding our lives and our family,' they wrote.

'We share your concern about its potentially devastating effects on the lives of transgender as well as gay, lesbian, bisexual and queer youth,' Jarrett said. 'The overwhelming scientific evidence demonstrates that conversion therapy, especially when it is practiced on young people, is neither medically nor ethically appropriate and can cause substantial harm.' The White House is not explicitly calling for Congressional legislation to ban the therapies nationwide. But Jarrett's statement highlighted states that have outlawed the practice and expressed hope that there will be broader action. The White House says lawmakers in 18 states have introduced legislation similar to measures already in place in California, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. The laws ban licensed professionals from using conversion therapy on minors. The American Psychiatric Association has long opposed conversion therapy, which the organization says is based on the assumption that homosexuality is a mental disorder. Suicide: Leelah Alcorn's (pictured) death spurred the White House petition with many signatures . Alcorn, the Ohio teen whose death spurred the White House petition, had gained an online following through her Tumblr posts. She wrote about depression and isolation, lamented that her life would only get worse, and expressed frustration that her parents wanted her to be 'their perfect little straight Christian boy.' She said she was taken to 'Christian therapists' who were 'very biased.' Mara Keisling, the executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, welcomed Obama's statement. 'Having President Obama and the weight of the White House behind efforts to ban conversion therapy is so critical in the fight for transgender and LGB young people,' Keisling said in a statement. 'My hope is that when a transgender person's struggle is acknowledged by one of the most recognizable figures in the world, it positively changes the way they view themselves. The pseudo-science that propels conversion therapy cannot match the self-acceptance that comes with this kind of change'", "summary": "President Barack Obama is calling for an end to psychiatric therapy treatments aimed at turning gays into heterosexuals .

After the Labour Party and Trades Union Congress seized on the figure, with shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves describing it as 'shocking', the Trussell Trust admitted in a climbdown that 'these are not all unique users'. It emerged last night that its true number of users is likely to be no more than half a million \u2013 and possibly lower still. Scroll down for video . It emerged last night that the true number of food bank users is likely to be no more than half a million. File image used . The claim was widely reported by newspapers, while the BBC ran a headline on its website stating: 'Food banks used by \"more than one million people\".' But the Corporation also retreated yesterday, toning down its coverage as the one million figure unravelled. In the announcement of its food bank users, the Trussell Trust \u2013 which has 445 food banks run in its name \u2013 declared that 'more than one million people received three days' food'. However the Trust has now acknowledged that the claim was based on the number of food parcels given out, and not the number of individuals asking for help. It admitted that fewer than half its claimants come forward only once, and 15 per cent make more than three visits to a food bank in a year. It said that the average claimant uses two of the vouchers that entitle them to a food parcel in a year. The Trust, a charity which has expanded rapidly in recent years and which aspires to run a food bank in every town, found itself under fire from Tories over its claims. Claims by The Trussell Trust that it served a million hungry people in a year were exposed as false yesterday . Charlie Elphicke, the Conservative candidate for Dover and Deal, said: 'Their use of unverified figures is irresponsible and borders on scaremongering. Food bank usage is a serious issue \u2013 not something that should be used and misused for PR purposes. What the Trussell Trust would do better to highlight is that the best route out of poverty is to get a good job that gives you a regular pay packet.' One fact-checking think-tank, Full Fact, said last night: 'The claim that over a million people are using Trussell Trust food banks is inaccurate. 'It comes from confusing the number of different people using Trussell Trust food banks in a year with the number of times they use the food banks.' Full Fact said that even Trussell Trust's figures for the number of food parcels handed out \u2013 from 913,138 in the 2013/14 financial year to 1,084,604 in the financial year which ended in March \u2013 did not mean that demand for free food was going up. It said the increase may reflect that more people are becoming aware of food banks, or people who were already in need have taken advantage", "summary": "The Trussell Trust admits that the one million were not all 'unique users' It had previously claimed that it served a million hungry people in a year .

(British Library \u00a316.99) During his Easter sermon of 1915, the Dean of St Paul\u2019s read out Rupert Brooke\u2019s poem The Soldier, which begins: \u2018If I should die, think only this of me: / That there\u2019s some corner of a foreign field / That is forever England.\u2019 Rupert Brooke's (pictured) poem The Soldier made him famous outside of literary circles . Before then, Brooke was known only in literary circles. But when the newspapers reprinted The Soldier the following day, he became properly famous for the rest of his life \u2014 which, as it turned out, lasted just over a fortnight. Brooke\u2019s death at 27 from blood poisoning en route to Gallipoli duly cemented his image as the poster-boy of heroic self-sacrifice. Yet, as The Second I Saw You richly confirms, he was a lot more interesting than that. The love story it tells was unknown until 2000, when a British Library curator made a thrilling discovery: more than 100 letters exchanged between Brooke and an art student called Phyllis Gardner, together with her secret memoir of their relationship, written in 1918. Now Lorna C. Beckett, chair of the Rupert Brooke Society, has turned them into a chronological narrative, adding the background information we need, plus her own comments. At times, admittedly, those comments do smack of chick- lit clich\u00e9s (including Brooke\u2019s unwillingness \u2018to commit\u2019 and Phyllis\u2019s need to \u2018move on\u2019.) But then again so does the story itself. The 21-year-old Phyllis first saw Brooke on the London to Cambridge train in November 1911. Like everyone else who ever set eyes on him, it seems, she was overwhelmed by his beauty and spent the journey sketching him with her handy chalks. S he then carried the sketch around Cambridge, showing it to anyone who might be able to identify him. Luckily, the two moved in similar circles, with Brooke studying at King\u2019s College and Phyllis\u2019s father an archaeology professor. Eventually, having tracked him down, she got her parents to invite him to lunch where, according to her memoir, the effect of his arrival was \u2018as though the sun had suddenly risen\u2019. Not all his chat-up lines would work today, though: \u2018Your palms sweat,\u2019 he once told her. \u2018The Elizabethans said that was a sign of a passionate disposition.\u2019 Nonetheless, Phyllis was smitten, not least after, while on a walk together, the two took off their clothes to wade through a river and she dried him afterwards with her hair. \u2018Who was I,\u2019 she wondered, \u2018that God should give me such piercing joy?\u2019 The trouble was that Brooke appeared to have accepted such adoration as essentially his due \u2014 and not just from Phyllis. (During their time together, the only time he didn\u2019t have one other woman on the go was when he had two). Nor was he entirely satisfied by being dried with hair.

Outcry: Takei and a group called the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation helped stop the sale of items like these panels carved in the internment camps . Not just art for sale: Families forced into the internment camps during WWII were not allowed to take photos and the officials photographers were barred from snapping the barbed wire and guard towers that became a part of these families' lives .

Residents in Bonita Springs told NBC-2 that sharks began swimming up to their condos about a week ago, and have been spotted several times since. They say fishermen have been chumming the water - throwing in bait - which has been luring the animals back. Property owners are now asking the city to designate the area for swimming only, which would outlaw fishing there and, they hope, drive the sharks back out to sea. Bull sharks, along with great whites and tiger sharks, are generally considered among the most dangerous sharks in the world, and among the most likely to attack humans. Homeowners say fishermen throwing bait into the water nearby are attracting the predators to their homes, and are calling for fishing to be banned in the area . Adult bull sharks can grow up to 11.5ft long, live up to 16 years in the wild, and along with great whites and tiger sharks, are said to be the most likely species to attack humans . Their natural habitat is the warm, shallow ocean waters around the equator, though they can just as happily swim through freshwater, and are often found hunting far up rivers and estuaries. They will eat almost anything they can kill, including fish, dolphins, seabirds, and other sharks. Humans are not naturally part of their diet, but they have been known to attack out of curiosity. They get their name from their short, stubby noses, aggressive disposition, and tendency to headbutt their prey before biting. According to National Geographic, adults can reach anywhere between 6ft and 11.5ft in length, and can live up to 16 years in the wild. Hickory Island juts out into the sea from mainland Florida and is surrounded on both sides by ocean, meaning sharks are able to swim very close to the houses .", "summary": "Homeowner in Florida filmed as nine foot bull shark swam behind condo .

Of these, 38 per cent ate more than 12 meals out per week, the American Journal of Hypertension reported. Professor Tazeen Jafar, of Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore (Duke-NUS), designed and supervised a study to find behaviour associated with hypertension in a young adult population in South East Asia. Her team surveyed 501 university students, aged 18 to 40, in Singapore. Figures on blood pressure, body mass index (BMI) and lifestyle, including meals eaten away from home and physical activity levels, were collected. The association with hypertension was then determined. Researchers in Singapore found those who frequently dine out or feast on takeaways are more likely to have pre-hypertension. Stock photo . Using statistical analysis, the researchers found that pre-hypertension was found in 27.4 per cent of the total population, and 38 per cent ate more than 12 meals away from home per week; while the gender breakdown showed that pre-hypertension was much more prevalent in men (49 per cent) than in women (nine per cent). The findings showed those who had pre-hypertension or hypertension were more likely to eat more meals away from home per week, have a higher mean BMI, have lower mean physical activity levels, and be current smokers. The novel finding of the study, published online by the American Journal of Hypertension, was the link that Dr. Jafar's team was able to show between pre-hypertension and hypertension with meals eaten away from home.

Dr Jafar said: 'While there have been studies conducted in the United States and Japan to find behaviours associated with hypertension, very few have surveyed a South East Asian population.

The woman accused of painting red and white stripes on her \u00a315million Kensington townhouse in a bitter planning row is a war hero's daughter worth as much as \u00a360million who has fallen out with her family over inheritance. Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring has been accused by critics in her west London neighbourhood of ordering the dramatic overnight paint job \u2018to get her own back\u2019 when they objected to her plans to demolish the property and rebuild it with a two-storey \u2018iceberg\u2019 basement.

Today MailOnline can reveal Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring has also fallen out with the family of her late husband Robert, who have accused her of failing to pass on cash and property worth millions after his death in 2007. Robert Lisle, her stepson, said her behaviour does not surprise him, having last had contact with her in 2012 when they continued to row over the inheritance he believes is due to him and the wider family. He said: \u2018She has made commitments and reneged on them. She\u2019s an extremely unpleasant character'.

It's sad, she is missing out on them growing up and getting married. But she's not involved because of her decisions. 'Her husband promised money and property to his children and grandchildren but after he died it never materialised. They were promises my husband's father made, but she has never kept one.

And now Airbus is set to introduce an extra seat to each row of its Airbus A380 model, squeezing yet more passengers onto each plane. From 2017 there will be 11 seats incorporated into the same space as the current 10 are placed, and a fourth class introduced in response to the new dreaded middle seat. Scroll down for video . Tight squeeze! Airbus are set to cram an extra seat into their Airbus 380 in the middle section. The change is due to come into place in 2017 . The configuration was rejected by Emirates but two manufacturers, Zodiac and Geven, have agreed to deliver the seats . The addition of the centre seat will change the current configuration from 3-4-3 to become a 3-5-3 set up. At the moment the company uses First, Business and Economy class, but there will soon be the addition of 'budget economy', cleverly branded as Choice Economy. Some critics have gone as far as calling the new set-up 'economy minus'. Senior Vice President of Marketing for Airbus Christopher Emerson, told trade publication Leeham News and Comment: 'Ninety per cent of world travellers are economy but not all are homogeneous. 'We want to give a choice to the 90 per cent of the economy passengers. They are going to be the driver of the growth, the doubling of growth in the next 15 years.' Miraculously the inclusion of an additional seat will not alter the seat width for economy ticket holders. Currently the width is 18in, which falls in line with the aircraft manufacturer's manifesto 18 months ago to adopt that size as an industry standard. Airbus claims a rearrange of the cabin has enabled it to maintain this width and squeeze in the extra seat. The width of the arm rest, however, will change, with the aircraft adopting a slimmer version. The launch was announced in Hamburg this week, despite customer Emirates Airlines confirming it would not pursue the new arrangement for its aircraft - reportedly over fears the new design could affect its reputation for quality economy seating, according to trade publication Aviation Week. Airbus Vice President-Cabin Innovation and Design Ingo Wuggetzer said at the Aircraft Interiors Expo that more innovation should be going into economy cabins. 'In the past most innovation went into premium products, but that is only for six per cent of the travellers,' he said. The Airbus A380 will be advertised as having 544 seats instead of 525, and Emerson said the additional revenue per aircraft would be $20m per year. 'That's the equivalent of 40 per cent fuel burn reduction,' he explained. How the other half live! Rich fliers can enjoy private three-room suite for a luxurious first-class experience .

Exposure to small, sooty particles, mostly caused by traffic fumes and factory emissions, alters the structure of the brain, they said. The microscopic particles have previously been shown to cause lung damage and harmful changes in blood vessels and clotting, and are thought to contribute to the deaths of 29,000 people every year in Britain. Living near a congested road can increase the chance of developing dementia, research has found . Researchers examined the brains of more than 900 people aged more than 60 and assessed the pollution risk . US researchers found evidence that living near congested roads or polluted areas can lead to \u2018silent strokes\u2019 which in turn cause shrinkage of the brain and other damage. Silent strokes, which arise from blockages in blood vessels supplying the brain, do not have any outward symptoms and the victim is usually unaware of them. Sudha Seshadri, a professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, said: \u2018This is concerning, since we know that silent strokes increase the risk of overt strokes and of developing dementia, walking problems and depression. \u2018We now plan to look more at the impact of air pollution over a longer period, its effect on brain shrinkage over time, and other risks including stroke and dementia.\u2019 The study, by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Boston University School of Medicine, involved more than 900 people aged 60 and over who did not have dementia or a history of strokes. It recorded how far participants lived from major roads and used satellite imagery to assess their exposure to the fine particulate matter known as PM2.5. This is made up of small particles measuring just 2.5 micrometres, or 30 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. These particles are generated from a variety of sources, including power plants, factories, trucks and cars and the burning of wood. They can travel deeply into the lungs and have been associated with increased numbers of hospital admissions for heart attacks and strokes. The study participants\u2019 brain matter was measured using MRI scans. The researchers found that increases in PM2.5 in towns and cities was linked with a 46 per cent higher risk of silent strokes. The research was published in a report in the journal Stroke. Researcher Elissa Wilker, of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, said: \u2018This is one of the first studies to look at the relationship between ambient air pollution and brain structure. \u2018Our findings suggest that air pollution is associated with insidious effects, even in dementia and stroke-free individuals. \u2018The mechanisms remain unclear, but inflammation resulting from the deposit of fine particles in the lungs is likely important.\u2019 The study will add to mounting pressure on the Government, which faces a judgment at the Supreme Court next week over its failure to meet EU legal limits for air pollution.

Truth be told, ninety percent of children go through at least one lengthy stage of fussy eating. It's so easy to feel frustrated and powerless when your child simply refuses to eat certain foods. But the key is not to give in or give up. Day in, day out, I persisted with new healthy foods, new recipes and creative ways to hide the good bits my son didn't like. In fact, it was coming up with these new and novel recipes that inspired me to create my very first book \u2013 Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner. While it can be frustrating when a child rejects the food we give them, it's actually the way that we deal with the situation that impact on their eating habits. It's not ideal to let your child get away with not eating certain foods in order to keep the peace. Giving your children a limited number of foods will only escalate their fussiness, and deprive them of the essential nutrients they need to grow and develop. If I am honest, hiding the good bits in a meal didn't always get past my children, but I found it really important to hide my frustrations. Instead, I gave them lots of praise when they ate well or tried something new. Remember, you are not alone! Keep trying out new ideas and eventually you will see positive results. Don't be afraid to quiz other mums on how they get their children eating healthy food. I used to share my recipes at my son's nursery and it felt so good to be able to help other mums in my position. Annabel says that parents should keep trying out new ideas with their children and eventually they will see positive results when it comes to a healthy diet . Tips for helping kids towards their five-a-day . 1. Try making your own healthy junk food using good quality lean meat for burgers, English muffins for pizza bases and a good way to coat homemade fish fingers is to dip them in seasoned flour, beaten egg and crushed cornflakes. For dessert it's easy to make fresh fruit ice lollies from fruit juice and pureed fruits. 2. Some kids", "summary": "Survey found more than half of UK children kids don't have any veg .

Staring at defeat: This salmon's number appears to be up as it comes face to face with a hungry bear along the Brooks River in the Katmai National Park, Alaska . As close as it gets: As the two creatures come face to face, it looks as if the bear is about to enjoy the most hassle-free meal of its life . Sockeye salmon, which are native to Alaska, migrate up rivers during the spring in order to reach the breeding grounds where they were born in order to spawn. The fish, which spend the rest of the year out in the ocean, will swim against the current in order to reach the spawning grounds, leaping through waterfalls, which is where the bears wait. While the salmon are very fast and difficult to catch underwater, after they leap into the air they have no way of changing course, and so a relatively easy to pick out of the air.

Now, it has been reported that Professor Davies has ordered the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) to review the cost of providing vitamin supplements to all children under the age of four, in a bid to reverse the trend. The move is being supported by one of Britain's leading experts on vitamin D deficiency at University College Hospital London Alastair Sutcliffe, who has spoken about an 'epidemic' of cases due to a lack of sun exposure and overuse of sunscreen. He told the Sunday Times: 'Nothing is free but the cost of the ill-effects of deficiency, such as rickets and anaemia from families not providing children with these supplements is greater for the NHS.

Tony Blackburn claims disgraced entertainer Jimmy Savile 'tarnished' his era after his fellow colleague's names were 'dragged through the mud' during probes into historic sex abuse. The 72-year-old's long-term employer, the BBC, is still reeling from a string of allegations levelled against former staff - most of them Blackburn's vintage. Several media personalities were investigated and arrested following the launch of Operation Yewtree, including broadcasters Dave Lee Travis and Rolf Harris. The probe also exposed abuse by paedophile DJ Savile, who sexually assaulted staff and patients aged between 5 and 75 over several decades. The BBC Radio 2 presenter professed his deep shock at the headlines, explaining that most of his colleagues in the industry were 'just working hard' and 'having a good time'. 'It's upsetting, horrible,' he said. 'I never liked Savile, and I knew there was something about him that was odd but I didn't know what it was. 'I saw him very rarely but the way he was, you could never have a sensible conversation with him. 'But it was shocking when the stories came out.

'In Paul's case, he didn't know the people - and your name is just dragged through the mud. I saw him very recently and the fact is that there has been no apology, and he has lost a lot of money and it is not right. You haven't done anything wrong but it sticks.

In a direct appeal to voters who have shifted allegiance to Nigel Farage\u2019s party, the Prime Minister vowed to \u2018do more\u2019 to respond to concerns about immigration. With the election on a knife-edge, he warned that it is \u2018not the time to send a message or make a protest\u2019. Doing so could put the economic recovery at risk by allowing Labour back into power, said the Tory leader. David Cameron tonight issued an impassioned plea for Ukip voters to 'come back home' to the Conservatives . Mr Cameron also conceded that he understood the \u2018frustrations\u2019 of Ukip voters. It is a significant peace offering by the Prime Minister, who once dismissed Ukip as \u2018fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists\u2019. Speaking in Bristol yesterday, he said to those who had left the Tory fold: \u2018Look, we\u2019ve heard the message loud and clear about the things you want to see changed and we\u2019ll change those things. Come with us, come back home to us, rather than risk all of this good work being undone.\u2019 The latest polls have put the Conservatives and Labour virtually neck and neck. A YouGov poll on Sunday had the Tories on 34 per cent, one point ahead of Labour, and Ukip in third place with 13 per cent of votes. A poll in Tory-held South Thanet \u2013 where Mr Farage is running for Parliament \u2013 shows him in second place, and pollsters now believe Ukip will win just a handful of seats. David Cameron's hopes of staying in Number 10 have been buoyed by opinion polls showing a steady squeeze in support for Ukip. As the election gets closer, voters appear to be drifting away from Nigel Farage's party. After hitting 18 per cent in the polls at the European elections last year, Ukip has seen its support drop by around five points. The Tories, meanwhile, have jumped ahead of Labour. The most recent surveys have given Mr Cameron's party a slender one-point lead - with around 34 per cent of the vote. Mr Farage is also facing a fight to be elected in Thanet South. The Ukip leader has seen a comfortable lead slip and is now trailing in second place behind the Tories. A leaked poll showed the Tories in the lead in the Kent constituency Mr Farage is fighting with 31 per cent support. Mr Farage is on 30 per cent, with Labour in third on 29 per cent.

The Independent Commission for Reform in Cycling's (CIRC) report concluded that, under Verbruggen's leadership, the UCI had colluded with Armstrong to cover up allegations the seven-times Tour de France winner had doped. Verbruggen has now written to all UCI board members saying he has put the 'scandalously biased' report - which he also calls a 'character assassination' - into the hands of lawyers. Former head of international cycling Hein Verbruggen is unhappy with the CIRC report verdict . Verbruggen, pictured with Lance Armstrong in March 2003, has sent the CIRC report to Swiss lawyers . He also rejected a call from current UCI president Brian Cookson to resign his honorary presidency. In his letter, a copy of which has been seen by Press Association Sport, Verbruggen says: 'Mr Cookson is in for a surprise if he thinks that I will accept this scandalously biased CIRC report, and the same goes for taking away my honorary title. 'Indeed, the last word about the CIRC report has not yet been written. I would like to make you aware that I am having the report analysed by Swiss lawyers.' The lengthy letter added: 'It has become clear that what I am dealing with here is simply a personal revenge campaign against me by Mr Cookson.' Verbruggen also claims the 2.8million euros cost of the CIRC report has effectively been wasted. After the CIRC report was published in March, Cookson, said he would write to Verbruggen to ask him to step down as honorary president saying he had made 'serious errors of judgment and wrong decisions'. On Monday, Cookson said he would not get dragged into a public war of words with Verbruggen. He said: 'I think Mr Verbruggen's letter speaks for itself. Those who have read the CIRC report will understand where the UCI went wrong in the past, including the conflicts it needlessly got into and which seriously damaged its credibility.

Happily married: Kim Jong-un is photographed with his wife Ri Sol-ju in Pyongyang in July 2012 . News that Kim Jong-un is re-establishing the so-called 'pleasure troupe' was reported by South Korea's Chosun Ilbo. The tradition was established by the dictator's grandfather Kim Il-sung - who is considered the founder of North Korea and still holds the title of Eternal President despite dying in 1994. North Korean officials have traditionally scoured the countryside for pretty teenagers, sometimes as young as 13-years-old, who are then taken to Pyongyang to work as dancers, singers or servants for the country's leaders. Often the most attractive girls are forcibly married off to powerful military generals as a way of rewarding the men for their all-important loyalty to the regime. As part of the handover of power following the death of Kim Il-sung in 2011, the entire troop was dismantled and sent off to marry members of the North Korean establishment. But now that three years have passed it is thought acceptable for Kim to restart the tradition by finding his own girls.

The girls reportedly lived in the senior officials' houses and were traditionally allowed to marry their employers and 'retire' from service by the time they reached their early 20s. The three-year absence of the 'pleasure troupe' was due to a complete overhaul of the North Korean establishment by Kim Jong-un following his father's death.

FEMAIL called on the best dermatologists in the business to shed some light on the classic mistakes women make and to share their vital tips for ensuring you're getting the most from your skincare regime. Scroll down for video . Many women spends hundreds of pounds a month on expensive skincare products but make common mistakes every single day that could lead to their skin ageing faster . DON'T ONLY USE SPF ON HOLIDAY . Perhaps one of the most common misconceptions women have is that you only need to use an SPF in boiling climates. Wrong. In fact, an SPF should be an essential part of your daily skincare regime, says Dr Mike Bell, Skincare Scientific Advisor for Boots UK. 'Protecting your skin from the sun and environmental stress is really important, particularly if you want to proactively delay the signs of ageing,' he said. Even when there isn't a ray of sunshine in the sky, your skin is still at harm. UVA rays can penetrate glass, meaning your skin is at risk from ageing through your car windows or even when sitting at your desk. Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl\u2019s Consulting Dermatologist, concurs. He said: 'Apply a broad spectrum, high SPF sunscreen before heading out the door each morning, with reapplication every 2-3 hours during peak outdoor exposure.' APPLY CREAMS IN THE CORRECT ORDER . Another simple way to make your products work harder (particularly if you've spent a small fortune on them) is applying them in the right order. Indeed, products with a thinner consistency - such as serum - should always be applied before thick face creams. Products with a thinner consistency - such as serum - should always be applied before thick face creams . Those creams with heavier consistencies can actually stop the lighter ones from penetrating the skin and doing the job they've been designed to do - practically making them redundant.

Many people have forehead breakouts due to the oil clogging up their pores. Always tie your hair back loosely before you get into bed. By sleeping with your hair and fringe down, the oils from your locks (not to mention the greasy hairspray and serums you've used in the day) are kept well away from your face. NOT EVERYONE NEEDS A TONER . Cleanse, tone and moisturise is a mantra for millions of women, sold by the beauty industry as a sure-fire way to fresh, glowing skin.

The ex-Chelsea defender came off the bench in Wednesday night's Champions League quarter-final first leg and was nutmegged twice by Luis Suarez in the build-up to the Uruguayan's two goals.

Luiz suffered the same fate when Suarez weaved his way into the box for Barcelona's second goal . The Brazilian was left with his head in his hands after allowing Suarez a clean run at goal . Asked about Luiz's defending for Barcelona's third goal, the Sky Sports pundit said: 'Even if you're not 100 per cent fit you can't show that lack of intent. 'He's the last man on the pitch when Suarez picks the ball up and starts running at him. He realises he's the last man and the very last thing (you should do) when you're last man is jump in.

Dumped on the side of a busy road outside Southampton, emaciated and riddled with worms, he was shivering pitifully in the January chill and clinging to life by a thread. His rescuers called him Rupert: a teddy bear name for a teddy bear temperament. Despite what he has endured, Rupert is a loving, affectionate soul who likes nothing more than to have the back of his head rubbed. To see him today, three months on but still unsteady on his feet, it seems heartless beyond belief that anyone could leave such a vulnerable creature to die. Sixteen-year-old Elise, from Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, is just one of the many people finding that they can no longer keep up with the financial costs of keeping and looking after a horse . But, sadly, stories like Rupert\u2019s are all too common. Across the country, horses, ponies and donkeys \u2014 many of them once much-loved family pets \u2014 are being abandoned in record numbers and left to fend for themselves or tied up on busy roadsides in the hope that someone will rescue them. Animal welfare charities, meanwhile, are full to capacity, leaving them increasingly helpless in the wake of the hundreds of calls they receive every month about neglected or abandoned horses. Earlier this month, in desperation, the RSPCA launched an urgent appeal to rehome some of the hundreds of horses in their care. Their three sanctuaries, with capacity for 640 horses, are full, with 500 other horses being kept at huge expense in private boarding stables while they wait for a place. Three thousand more, meanwhile, are estimated to be at risk, although the real number could be much higher. Last year, the RSPCA alone took in 1,500 horses, many of them former family pets. Little wonder that the word RSPCA workers are using to describe the situation is \u2018crisis\u2019.

It\u2019s hard to argue with the numbers, which all equine welfare organisations say have risen steadily in the recession, and continue to do so, despite the economy improving.

+{"article": "It has spent four years orbiting the closest planet to our sun, but despite desperate attempts to extend the life of Messenger spacecraft, it is slowly spiraling towards Mercury's scorched surface. Yet even as its mission draws to an end, the final weeks of Nasa's Messenger spacecraft are revealing the planet in unrivaled detail. Messenger is currently 18 miles (29.1km) above Mercury after Nasa engineers used the last of its fuel in a last ditch effort to push the spacecraft higher into orbit after it dropped to within nine miles (15km) of the surface. Among the images sent back by Messenger as its mission draws to an end is this picture of 2km high cliffs cutting through the Carnegie crater. They are thought to have formed as Mercury has cooled and contracted . The spacecraft, however, is expected to smash into the planet's surface on 30 April. But as messenger drops ever closer to Mercury's surface, it is sending back some of the most detailed images ever obtained of the smallest planet in our solar system. Researchers have uncovered the mystery of Mercury's 'stealth' colour scheme. The say a steady dusting of carbon from passing comets has slowly painted Mercury black over billions of years. It solves the mystery of Mercury's unusual colouring - which has baffled scientists. On average, Mercury is much darker than its closest airless neighbour, our Moon. Airless bodies are known to be darkened by micrometeorite impacts and bombardment of solar wind, processes that create a thin coating of dark iron nanoparticles on the surface. But spectral data from Mercury suggests its surface contains very little nanophase iron, certainly not enough to account for its dim appearance. As comets approach Mercury's neighborhood near the sun, they often start to break apart. Cometary dust is composed of as much as 25 percent carbon by weight, so Mercury would be exposed to a steady bombardment of carbon from these crumbling comets. Scientists have calculated that after billions of years of bombardment, Mercury's surface should be anywhere from three to six percent carbon. Among the features it has revealed to scientists in the past month are patterns of distinctive hollows - each around a couple of hundred metres wide - in the bottom of a huge impact basin. It has also sent back detailed images of huge 1.2 mile (2km) high cliffs that cut across a crater named Duccio on the surface. Another image shows a 621 miles (1,000km) long cliff that rises 1.8 miles (3km) above the surface, called Enterprise Rupes. Data sent back by Mercury suggests these cliffs, or lobate scarps as they are called, have formed as Mercury has cooled and contracted over time, creating dramatic tectonic faults on the surface. Another image shows a meteorite crater that has almost completely filled with lava on Mercury's northern volcanic plains, leaving just the hint of a rim behind. It also shows how the contracting surface of the planet has also created strange formations where ridges and cliffs have hit other lava filled craters.

GCHQ, the Government\u2019s listening post, unlawfully intercepted telephone calls and emails from Sami al-Saadi \u2013 even though the legally-privileged material was protected by strict rules.

GCHQ confessed it intercepted confidential conversations between Mr al-Saadi (pictured) and his lawyer . Mr al-Saadi has fought a legal battle against the British Government claiming it was complicit in kidnapping him and sending him back to his homeland to be tortured by the Gaddafi regime. But the IPT said the dissident should not receive compensation for breaching Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to private and family life. Intelligence chiefs sparked fury in February by admitting that they had unlawfully listened in to lawyer-client communications even though they are generally covered by 'legal professional privilege' to protect privacy and the right to a free trial. Now GCHQ has confessed it intercepted confidential conversations between Mr al-Saadi and his lawyer. The IPT rejected similar claims by other Libyan claimants including Abdel Hakim Belhadj, another prominent anti-Gaddafi campaigner. Britain has already paid Mr al-Saadi \u00a32.2million compensation after he took legal action over MI6's role in his abduction, imprisonment and mistreatment by Libya. Mr Belhadj is currently suing the UK. It has not been disclosed what type of material the two documents contained or when they were recorded but they are likely to be transcripts of telephone conversations secretly intercepted by GCHQ.

The warning, in the Fund\u2019s Fiscal Monitor report into government finances around the world, will alarm the Tories in particular as they attempt to persuade voters that only they can balance the books.

The group, who posted the performance video to Facebook and Youtube, explained that they composed the tune after experiencing a 'lack of respect shown by Ryanair flight attendants.' In the video, the band's lead singer strums a ukulele as the group serenades passengers on board - despite Ryanair's scathing review of the sarcastic ditty. A well-known Spanish band from Catalonia, called Sidonie, sang an impromptu song aboard a Ryanair flight . While en route to Santiago, the band grew impatient with the alleged 'lack of respect' from flight attendants . Although sung in their native tongue, the lyrics read: 'Ryanair, how we like Ryanair, and its flight attendants, they could not be nicer'. Clearly meant to be ironic, some passengers even join in and sing or clap along as the band repeats the chorus during their impromptu performance. Explaining the motivation behind their hilarious video, the band wrote online: 'After receiving, repeatedly, the habitual lack of respect shown by flight attendants on the Ryanair route to Santiago, we were moved to compose and perform a song dedicated to them and their irritable airline.' Ryanair, however, wasn't as impressed with the band's performance. Robin Kiely, a spokesperson for the airline told MailOnline Travel: 'Sidonie? More like sit down mate. 'The lyrics are average, the vocals out of tune, the ukulele playing leaves a lot to be desired and there isn't one trumpet.' Taking matters into their own hands, the group composed and performed a tongue-in-cheek tune . As they paraded up and down the aisle of the plane, some passengers even began to sing along with the lyrics . The band also posted the video to Facebook, adding that the song was dedicated to the 'irritable airline' 'We much prefer our new on-time landing music, which will be heard on over 90 per cent of our flights this year, as we carry 100 million customers,' Kiely added. Ryanair is famous for complaints about its customer service and surcharges, and it has recently launched a marketing campaign and measures such as allocated seating to win over passengers.

He said Mr Moore had acted properly at all times. In a further blow to Mrs Saunders, senior Conservative politican David Davis last night labelled her 'the worst DPP in modern times'.

When award-winning BBC foreign correspondent Malcolm Brabant walked into a clinic one afternoon to have a yellow fever vaccine, he was warned the possible side-effects could be dizzy spells and a headache. Yet within 24 hours of having the jab, in April 2011, Malcolm had been reduced to a sweating, shivering wreck, gripped by a fever so strong it took two weeks and a spell in hospital before his temperature was brought down. Then the psychosis began. A shooting star, glimpsed from the balcony of his home, convinced Malcolm - who had no previous history of mental illness - that he was a modern-day Messiah. 'I went completely bonkers,' he says today. 'The vaccine fried my brain.' Malcolm, 59, who had the jab in preparation for an assignment in the Ivory Coast, believed his Kindle could fly, that dead friends were contacting him and that he could stop traffic just by thinking about it. He spent the next two years in and out of mental institutions, unable to work - and even attempted suicide. Fortunately, he has since made a full recovery. But Malcolm believes the yellow fever vaccine - available in High Street vaccination clinics, GP surgeries and even Boots - could have dangerous side-effects that affect more people than previously thought. Since its invention in 1951, more than 540 million doses of the vaccine have been given. Anyone travelling to parts of Africa or South America is advised to have it. Yellow fever is a serious viral infection spread by mosquito bites. Symptoms include fever, chills, loss of appetite and nausea. While many people recover after five or six days, 15 per cent enter a second, toxic phase, with recurring fever, abdominal pain, and jaundice due to liver damage. They may also start vomiting blood. This toxic phase is fatal in about 20 per cent of cases. Clearly a dangerous illness, there is no doubt vaccination can be life-saving. But Malcolm and others who say they have been adversely affected by the jab want the manufacturer to investigate. Malcolm, who for many years was the Beeb's man in Greece, had the jab in a clinic in Athens, where his family was living. Next morning, his new wife Trine, found him downstairs, shivering and sweating, his face beetroot red. 'I was beside myself with worry,' says Trine, 55, an author and journalist. 'It wasn't just the fever but the change in character. He became irrational, then emotional - crying.' When his fever showed no signs of relenting after five days, Trine took Malcolm to hospital. The doctors, who also discovered through blood tests that Malcolm had suffered recent liver damage, told him they believed he'd had an adverse reaction to the vaccine.

The forward's treble - his first in two years - clinched a pulsating 3-3 draw with their drop rivals as Villa edged further clear of the bottom three. Villa are three points above the Barclays Premier League drop zone and denied QPR the chance to leapfrog them in the table. Christian Benteke scored a stunning hat-trick as Aston Villa drew 3-3 against Queens Park Rangers . Manager Tim Sherwood said that Benteke can fire Villa to Premier League safety . Defeat would have left Villa in the relegation zone and behind QPR but Benteke struck a 25-yard free-kick with seven minutes left to save them and complete his treble. The Belgium international has seven goals in seven games under Sherwood and the boss hopes he can maintain his form to keep Villa up. He said: 'That's the plan. 'It doesn't come much better than that. He's a good player, I have always said it and he's in a rich vein of form. 'It's fantastic for him to score the goals, it's just a shame we couldn't get the three points. 'It's not about what you deserve, it's about what you get and we got one point. 'This could be a vital point come the end of the season in the end, when you go so late into the game and Christian has had to pull that out the bag we're grateful.' But Sherwood insisted Villa should have won after Benteke's first-half double, cancelling out Matt Phillips' opener, gave them a 2-1 lead at the break. He said: 'It's disappointing when you dominate a football match like that, the ref should have stopped it at half-time. QPR were only ahead for three minutes in the first half after Benteke equalised for the hosts at Villa Park . Benteke drove beyond Rob Green from the edge of the box to net his seventh goal of the season early on . 'I thought we tired in the second half but that's to be expected and two of those back four have trained about four times in eight weeks.

While the BBC claimed the plate, which read H982 FKL, was an 'unhappy coincidence', Maria Cristina Barrionuevo said they were deliberately 'provoking people' when they drove it through the country last year. In a report released earlier this week she slammed their actions as 'arrogant and disrespectful'. Scroll down for video . A judge has ruled the controversial number plate that led to Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear colleagues being thrown out of Argentina was a deliberate reference to the 1982 Falklands War . Clarkson and his colleagues fled the South American country last year when their convoy - which was led by a Porsche bearing the controversial number plate - came under attack. A village of Falklands War veterans targeted the team as they drove through Patagonia, with Clarkson claiming in one account that they stormed their hotel. They were accused of deliberately inciting conflict with the plate, an alleged reference to the 1982 Falklands War. Afterwards producers removed the plate and replaced it with another. Investigating whether this was illegal, Mrs Barrionuevo said: 'It should be understood that it is not up to me to investigate or evaluate the decision - arrogant and disrepectful to say the least - by the Top Gear production team to enter the country with one or more Malvinas-referenced number plates. 'Nor is it my job to gauge the reaction - anticipated - of citizens to such an offence. Clarkson (pictured this week) said an angry mob targeted the Top Gear team in their hotel. His producer, Andy Wilman (right), who announced his resignation on Wednesday, denied deliberately using the plate . 'My responsibility is to analyse whether a crime has been committed under Argentinian law in relation to the removal from the Porsche of the original number plate H982 FKL and its replacement by another.' Concluding Top Gear chiefs had not acted in 'bad faith' in changing the plates and their hand was forced by 'massive government and popular pressure', she added: 'It led them to remove the original number plate and replace it with another which in principle wouldn't have negative connotations with the aim of ending the main focus of conflict and avoiding violent reactions by locals which indeed ended up taking place. 'The change was not done in a surreptitious way, but with the knowledge and approval of the presenters who participated in meetings with the programme producers.' Local prosecutors have already been informed of the decision and are understood to be preparing an appeal. Judges in the nearby city of Rio Grande - where Clarkson\u2019s Porsche is thought to be in storage - are now expected to be asked to order Clarkson and his pals to be called in for a court grilling by overturning Mrs Barrionuevo's decision.

A 92-year-old Second World War veteran has avoided jail despite pouring paint stripper over a van owned by a female friend's son because of the way he treated her. Arthur Townsend, who lives in a care home in Epping, Essex, poured the product over a Mercedes Sprinter belonging to Martin Carter - the son of his friend Olive Carter, 96. Townsend carried out the attack after becoming angry with Mr Carter, who he believed was making his mother stay at home to sign for packages relating to his online business. The retired antiques restorer was given a lift in a car to Mr Carter\u2019s address where he dumped the brown-coloured paint stripper on the van, causing more than \u00a32,000 of damage.

John Winkler and Laura Martinez considered themselves Adrian's grandparents, even though they weren't blood related to the little boy. Martinez's son - Winkler's stepson - started dating Langlais when she was six-months pregnant with Adrian and they continued to babysit the toddler when the two eventually broke up.

While they are happy to see Tyrrell's arrest, both want CPS and Langlais held accountable for the role they played in Adrian's death. 'They left the child vulnerable. They made that decision and they made the wrong decision,' Winkler told the Star Telegram. Winkler and Martinez first met Langlais in late 2012, when she started dating Martinez's son. At the time, she was carrying Adrian, her son with former boyfriend Ulises Hererra.

Speaking in Coventry this morning, Labour leader Ed Miliband claimed the 200-year-old 'non dom' rule makes Britain an 'offshore tax haven for a few' and can 'no longer be justified' The Tories warned the plan could cost Britain 'hundreds of millions of pounds' and stopped short of scrapping the rules, despite Labour's claims. Non-domicile status allows people living and working in Britain to only pay tax on their UK income, but not earnings from overseas. They must prove that they regard a foreign country as their real home. But Mr Miliband said that non-dom tests 'are not very rigorous' and can be granted to people who have a burial plot or property abroad. Mr Miliband said everyone who has made Britain their permanent home should pay full UK tax on all their income and gains. He will pledge to abolish the non-dom status from April 2016.

The unemployment rate remained at 5.5 percent, the Labor Department said in its monthly report Friday. The March jobs data raised uncertainties about the world's largest economy, which for months has been the envy of other industrialized nations for its steadily robust hiring and growth. Employers now appear wary about the economy, especially as a strong dollar has slowed U.S. exports, home sales have sputtered and cheaper gasoline has yet to unleash more consumer spending.

President Barack Obama was in Utah on Friday to promote an initiative that would see US veterans hired to work for the solar electricity industry . Some of the weakness may prove temporary: An unseasonably cold March followed a brutal winter that slowed key sectors of the economy. Last month's subpar job growth could make the Federal Reserve less likely to start raising interest rates from record lows in June, as some have been anticipating. The Fed may decide that the economy still needs the benefit of low borrowing costs to generate healthy growth. Reflecting that sentiment, government bond yields fell Friday. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note dropped to 1.84 percent from 1.90 percent before the jobs report was released. U.S. stock markets are closed in observance of Good Friday. Economists noted that for months hiring had been stronger than other gauges of the economy, suggesting that a pullback in job gains was inevitable. 'Job growth has been running at a stupendous pace in America over the last several months, increasingly out of tune with other economic indicators, which have pointed to a slowdown,' James Marple, senior economist at TD Economics, wrote in a research note. 'The reckoning in March closes at least some of this gap.' At the same time, some said last month's data looks bleak in part because hiring had been so robust in the months that preceded it. 'Employers aren't laying people off,' noted Patrick O'Keefe, director of economic research at the accounting and consulting firm CohnReznick. 'What they've decided to do is slow down the pace at which they're hiring until they have more confidence.' Last month, the manufacturing, building and government sectors all shed workers. Factories cut 1,000, snapping a 19-month hiring streak. Construction jobs also fell by 1,000, the first drop in 15 months. Hiring at restaurants plunged from February.

+{"article": "The National Football League has hired its first female ref, Sarah Thomas, according to a report. Thomas, 42, a referee for college football's Conference USA, has been considered before for a position in the NFL before she was chosen to start in the league next year, Baltimore reporter Aaron Wilson posted on his Twitter account. She has previously refereed preseasons games, scrimmages and minicamps after becoming part of the NFL's training program since 2013. Sarah Thomas, a 42-year-old mother of three from Brandon, Mississippi, has reportedly been tapped as the first woman to be hired as a full-time NFL referee. Above she officiates a preseason New Orleans Saints game . The Conference USA official became the first woman to officiate and FBS game in 2007 and the first to preside over a bowl game in 2009 . The NFL would not confirm Thomas's hiring on Friday, saying in a statement: 'The 2015 roster of officials has not yet been finalized. When it is, the new officials for 2015 and the entire roster will be announced.' Thomas will be among eight new hires made for the 2015 season, a source close to the matter told the LA Times. A Brandon, Mississippi, native, Thomas played basketball at University of Mobile before beginning officiating after attending a meeting with her brother. 'He told me there\u2019s a bunch of old men sitting there. And that I might get some strange stares,' she told the Hattiesburg American last year. 'When I walked into that meeting sure enough that did happen.' She reffed basketball and high school football before moving on to college and becoming the first woman to officiate a FBS game in 2007 and the first to preside over a bowl game in 2009. 'The thing is, I've never set out to be the first and that hasn't changed, she said in 2013. 'I do this because I love it.' The mother of three credits her success in sports to being raised with brothers. The Mississippi native first began officiating after attending a meeting with her brother and credits her family with helping her succeed in the sports world . Though Thomas is tabbed to be the first full-time woman hire by the NFL, Shannon Eastin became the first female to officiate a game in the league when she was a replacement ref in 2012 . She also works as a pharmaceutical sales representative, and says she doesn't wear the makeup she wears at her day job when she's on the gridiron, according to Gulf Live. Shannon Eastin technically became the first woman to officiate an NFL game in 2012, when the league hired replacement refs while in negotiations with the officials' union. However, she stopped working for the NFL after owners reached an agreement with the regular officials. If Thomas begins reffing regular season games, the NFL would become the second major American sports league to have women officials, after the NBA. Violet Palmer and Dee Kanter were hired by the basketball league in 1997.

A thug has been jailed for mugging a frail pensioner who was knocked to the ground for \u00a35 after he asked the courts to lock him up for a 'long time'. Solomon Bygraves, 29, was sentenced to 30 months in prison after admitting robbing 93-year-old Stanley Evans in the entrance to his block of flats in central London as he returned from a shopping trip. Shocking CCTV footage played at Southwark Crown Court, showed Bygraves following Mr Evans into the communal entrance of the flat. He offered to help the pensioner with his shopping, but instead snatched his wallet and knocked Mr Evans to the ground. The pensioner was then left lying in the entrance to the flats in Soho, central London for ten minutes after the attack on January 31. Today, the court heard how Bygraves, who at more than six foot, towered over his victim, targeted the elderly man because he was frail and old. In a victim impact statement, Mr Evans, said: 'I believe that the man who robbed me should be punished for attacking a 93 year-old pensioner. 'He should not abuse his strength.

The property, in north west London, which has 'superb views' over a London park, was one of five properties which the successful property developer bought during the couple's 14-year marriage. The couple's main marital home had been a \u00a326m 'palatial residence' in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for which 40 members of staff were employed to keep it ticking over. A 63-year-old former air hostess has won a \u00a314.5m London mansion from her 'immensely wealthy' 90-year-old Saudi Arabian ex-husband following a legal battle at the High Court (pictured) But, after their divorce, the woman - who did not have any financial input into the properties - moved into the townhouse, claiming her right to live there as one of their matrimonial homes. Despite her husband's attempts to evict her from the home, and force the sale of the heavily-mortgaged property, the wife has now been allowed to keep it as part of a complex legal settlement. The 'opulent' maisonette - which was originally three flats converted into one large home - was at one point worth \u00a322m, but is now worth a 'disappointing' \u00a314.5m, the court heard. The husband, who is said to be worth \u00a3600m and blows up to \u00a310m per year, was also made to give his wife their 'holiday' property in Cannes, which is worth 17m Euros. The judgment, made at the high court, was based on the woman's claim to a right to marital property under the 1882 Married Women\u2019s Property Act. The judge ruled that she should be awarded around \u00a310m on a 'needs light' basis. That was based on \u00a33.5m for London housing, \u00a32.25 million for a replacement holiday home and a further \u00a3500,000 to cover the outgoings on both properties. The court heard that both homes had significant mortgages, meaning they would have respective equities of \u00a33.5m and \u00a35.2m if they are sold. But the judge refused to grant the woman the \u00a3205,014 she was seeking annually to spend on jewellery, handbags and cars. The woman had claimed she needed \u00a3566,045 per year for her \u00a375,000 wardrobe, as well as \u00a325,000 to spend on jewellery. She also needed \u00a325,000 for shoes and another \u00a325,000 for handbags and accessories, she claimed.

They divorced twice, once in 2002 and once in 2013 . The judge recognised that the woman's standard of living had been 'lavish and exceptional' during the marriage but said that it was 'not reasonable' to expect that to continue. He added: 'If the wife exceeds this figure, she will have only herself to blame.'

But 11-month-old babies have already mastered the fundamentals of physics. Baby boys and girls were surprised when a ball seemed to disappear through a solid wall. Their curiosity did not end there. When they were then given the ball to play with, they repeatedly banged it on a table in an apparent attempt to work out its secret. Scroll down for video . Babies in the study reacted with surprise when objects like this toy car appeared to break the laws of gravity . The babies were similarly perplexed by a toy car that appeared to defy the laws of gravity and float in thin air. And given it to play with later, they repeatedly dropped it on the floor. Importantly, the babies shown the magic tricks were more interested in playing with the ball than a brand new toy that they had never seen before. Babies might be smarter than we had previously thought and can understand complex social situations from the age of just 13 months old. A study by psychologists at the University of Missouri has found that infants are able to comprehend what constitutes bullying, friendship and what it means to be a bystander. In an experiment with puppets they responded to different scenarios in a way that suggested they were more engaged than had been expected. The findings indicated the newborns had \u2018strong feelings about how people should deal with a character who hits others\u2019, the researchers said. And they did better than others on a learning test, in which they had to link a specific sound to the ball. This, say the US researchers, suggests that babies learn from the unexpected, something that is important in a world in which we are constantly bombarded with information. Professor Lisa Feigenson, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said: \u2018For young learners, the world is an incredibly complex place filled with dynamic stimuli. \u2018How do learners know what to focus on and what to learn more about and what to ignore? \u2018Our research suggests that infants use what they already know about the world to form predictions. \u2018When these predictions are shown to be wrong, infants use this as a special opportunity for learning. \u2018When babies are surprised, they learn much better, as though they are taking the occasion to try to figure something out about their world.\u2019 The professor studied 11-month-olds because they were old enough to sit and watch the ball and to pick it up and play with it. A ball was rolled down a slope and apparently passed through a solid wall in one magic trick in the study . Babies repeatedly droped the car after being shown the magic trick as they attempted to learn what happened . However, previous studies have shown that much younger babies and newborn animals have surprising amounts of knowledge about maths and physics, including whether an object should be able to pass through a solid wall.

They were taken to a police station and, despite being told they would not be detained, were put into prison. Clitheroe's wife Valerie had written to British Prime Minister David Cameron to ask him to intervene in the case, raising concerns about her husband's health due to his heart murmur and high blood pressure. They were finally told earlier this week that they could return home after charges of espionage would not be brought against them.

They drove the 70-mile journey there on February 21, but were stopped by an off-duty policeman after they slowed down to note the registration numbers of planes. Mr Clitheroe has always insisted they never took any photographs. Although plane spotting is not illegal in the United Arab Emirates, it is not understood and is frowned upon.

+{"article": "Stone Age man ate mushrooms as part of their diet, a study on ancient tooth plaque has revealed. Anthropologists studying the remains of a prehistoric woman nicknamed The Red Lady of El Mir\u00f3n have found spores of several mushroom species embedded in her teeth. Discovered in an elaborate grave in the El Mir\u00f3n cave in Cantabria, Spain, the remains are thought to belong to a 35 to 40-year-old woman who was buried around 18,700 years ago. The images above show some of the microscopic fungal spores from grilled fungi (left) and bolete fungi (right) that the researchers found trapped inside the hardened dental plaque on the Red Lady of El Mir\u00f3n's teeth . The study now provides the oldest evidence yet that mushrooms were eaten by early humans and helps to shed new light on the mysterious Red Lady. Her body was found in 2010 in the cave stained in sparkling red paint and adorned in yellow flowers with an engraved stone nearby. The Red Lady's remains were uncovered in 2010 during excavations of the El Mir\u00f3n Cave in Cantabria. After discovering a series of individual bones, researchers unearthed a mandible and tibia that suggested a full skeleton was placed towards the rear of the cave. Radiocarbon dating suggests this burial took place 18,700 years ago and that the female was aged between 35 and 40 when she was entombed. She was 'robust, relatively tall, [and] apparently healthy', explained the researchers , and would have lived in the 'cold, open environment of Oldest Dryas.' Herself and her peers would have used stone tools, needles made from bones and projectile tips fashioned from the antlers of the deer and the cave would have been used for shelter and living quarters. They would have hunted for ibex and red deer, fished for salmon and ate plants, including some seeds and mushrooms. When the remains were first uncovered they were stained with a sparking red material, later found to be red ochre from a haematite crystal. This has since faded. A engraved tombstone was found nearby. The pigment and tombstone has led researchers to speculate she was a person of status or authority and was ritualistically buried in such a way to oversee her subjects. Her robust skeleton, which bore few signs of disease, and her elaborate funeral suggests she may have been of high status or even buried in a sacrificial ritual. Now the research looking at the dental calculus - hardened plaque - has helped to shed some light on her diet. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, found her teeth bore the remains of plant pollen, fungi and animals. They found microscopic evidence that the woman had been eating sponge capped, bolete mushrooms and gilled mushrooms from the Agaric group. The researchers also found her teeth bore little signs of decay, suggesting she ate few carbohydrates. Robert Power, who led the research, said: 'These types of microremains show that the individuals at El Mir\u00f3n consumed a variety of plants from different environments, as well as other", "summary": "Anthropologists studied the teeth of a prehistoric woman nicknamed the Red Lady who was found in the El Mir\u00f3n cave in eastern Cantabria, Spain .

But Poulter promises this break, just weeks before the first major of the year, means he will be fit and fresh for his latest assault on Augusta National. The downtime ensured plenty of opportunity to dream about feeling that green jacket draped over his shoulders, and what meal he would choose for the champion\u2019s dinner the following year. Not that he needs to think too hard about that last bit. \u2018I hate tempting fate,\u2019 he says while reclining on a lounger in his luxury holiday apartment in New Providence. \u2018But I know exactly what my jacket measurements are and I know exactly what [dinner] I would choose. But I\u2019m not telling you!\u2019 Ian Poulter lines up his putt for birdie on the 18th hole during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational . These are certainly not the words of a man who feels he is taking things too easy in the build-up to the most eagerly-anticipated week of the golfing year. \u2018I\u2019ve tried every type of formula,\u2019 he says. \u2018I\u2019ve had two weeks off before; I\u2019ve played [tournaments] during the run-in; I\u2019ve tried going to Augusta several days before Masters week to get some extra prep in. I\u2019ve tried everything but nothing\u2019s worked.\u2019 So this year Poulter, who has two top 10 finish at the Masters in his 10 attempts, has simply said to hell with it, let\u2019s have some fun. Family comes first, practice comes second. Sharing his holiday with the world on Twitter comes third, of course. Poulter celebrates during the fourball match on the second day of the Ryder Cup golf tournament . By now, however, the serious work has begun. Some of his time in the Bahamas was spent on the range, before the workload was ramped up last week. The Ryder Cup defines Poulter, gets his juices flowing, his eyes and veins popping like nothing else. But he lives for the annual trip down Magnolia Lane. \u2018The electricity, the tension, the buzz\u2019 of Masters week give him goosebumps. He admits to a \u2018love affair\u2019 with the place and its storied history. Only the Open Championship can compete with the Masters for his affections and ambitions. But at the age of 39, and with Rory McIlroy leading a new breed of power hitters ready to clean up the majors, Poulter knows he will not get too many more chances of claiming either prize. Poulter plays into the 13th green during the final round of the 2014 Turkish Airlines Open . So, if push came to shove, would he take a green jacket over a claret jug? \u2018That\u2019s a very unfair question,\u2019 he says. \u2018I wouldn\u2019t take it. Because I think I\u2019ll win a claret jug, and I think I\u2019ll win a green jacket.

Another goalless draw, this time against Monaco on Wednesday night, was more successful for Turin's Old Lady as they reached the Champions League semi-finals with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona on the horizon.

Juventus' players salute their supporters after the final whistle in Monaco having made it to the last four . Juve have endured a tough few years but they are now back were they belong among the elite of Europe . The 12-year gap between now and that night at Old Trafford has been one of twists and turns: relegations, promotions, league titles, stripped league titles and European failure at the hands of relative minnows like Fulham and Bordeaux. Captain Gianluigi Buffon said on Wednesday: 'I thought I'd have to wait less when I was at this stage 12 years ago, but seeing the journey was very difficult, we can enjoy this result even more.

A serial pedophile in Florida has been arrested for molesting at least seven young children in his apartment complex just 18 months after he was released from prison by officials who voted to give him a second chance. Michael Shepard, 35, conned parents into letting him babysit their kids and was frequently seen riding around the neighborhood with children on his scooter, authorities say. When asked about the sex offender notification he gave to his neighbors, he claimed that he had been in prison for a 'Romeo and Juliet romance' with a preacher's daughter. Police now say he did everything he could to win the confidence of the parents at Cedar Hollow apartments in Pinellas Park so that he could prey on their children. He is accused of horrific sexual attacks on seven children, both boys and girls. His youngest alleged victim is five years old. All of them were age 12 or younger. Detectives say he tempted them with video games, candy and trips to McDonald's. He also drove young children to his 'hideout' in the woods where he allegedly forced them to perform sexual acts on him and raped them. Parents even let their children sleep over at his apartment. The Tampa Bay Times reports that Shepard, who has a history of molesting children dating back 20 years, served 15 years in prison for molesting two boys, age six and nine, at a roller rink in 1998. As his term in prison neared its end, authorities filed petitions to keep him locked up under the Jimmy Ryce Act, a Florida law that allows sex offenders to be kept behind bars past their sentences if they're likely to re-offend. Shepard posted these sex offender notifications around his apartment complex, but told parents he was convicted of sleeping with a preacher's teenage daughter . Parents soon began to trust Shepard and even let him babysit their kids, authorities say . Two psychologists examined Shepard and found that he wasn't likely molest children again after his release, the Times reports. Dr Karen C. Parker testified on behalf of Shepard at a hearing. Dr Martin Falb, the state's expert, diagnosed him with pedophilia, depressive disorder and adult antisocial behavior. He said Shepard was likely to re-offend. But at a hearing, he said he was 'straddling the fence' on whether Shepard should be kept locked up or be released, according to the Times. According to the newspaper, Shepard had been caught having sex with other inmates in prison and had a confrontation with his live-in lover, his step-brother, after his release. When he moved into Cedar Hollow, he was required to post flyers to his neighbors informing him that he was a convicted sex offender. He still managed to win the trust of parents in the neighborhood. Within a month, a young boy was allowed to spend the night with him. The child says that when he woke up the next morning, Shepard raped him.", "summary": "Michael Shepard, 35, conned parents into believing he wasn't dangerous and even convinced them to let him babysit, police say .

Chloe Jackson, 19, appeared on today's This Morning to talk about how Facebook makes her feel lonely . The research revealed that half of those aged 55 and over said they never felt lonely.

A third of the under 34-year-olds said they found it hard to make new friends and they didn't know how to form new friendships.

'During my A levels I spent lot time inside revising but you still see all these people having fun without you and it's hard not to take that personally.' Ruth, 54, agreed that this contrasted with her experience growing up as 'when we were young, if you weren't invited to a party you didn't know about it.' Chloe added that people often create an online persona that doesn't reflect how they are really feeling and as a result, she often feels under pressure to do the same.

Her grave provides the first evidence of an ancient Magdalenian burial in the region and an engraved stone found near her remains appears to have been a makeshift tombstone. But the reasons why the female - dubbed 'The Red Lady of El Mir\u00f3n' - was buried in such an elaborate tomb, close to an area where her peers would have lived day-to-day, continues to baffle archaeologists. The Red Lady's remains (burial site pictured) were found in the El Mir\u00f3n Cave in Cantabria, Spain. Radiocarbon dating suggests she was buried 18,700 years ago. When the remains were first uncovered they were stained with a sparking red material, later found to be red ochre from a haematite crystal .

This removes the need for safety fences - a previous requirement for all industrial robots - and is said to increase efficiency and enable a higher level of automation, the firm claims. The robot can lift objects weighing up to 77 lbs (35kg) and could be used in a number of industries, from warehouses to production lines. For example, it could move heavy objects or assemble parts within a shared workspace without safety fences. \u2018Collaborative robot technology opens up a new era for manufacturing in which humans and robots will work even more closely on tasks; increasing productivity and efficiencies across the plant floor,\u2019 said Chris Sumner, vice president of Fanuc.

But it was a double change from manager Slavisa Jokanovic in the 54th minute that was to prove the catalyst for his side taking the lead as he brought on Anya and Odion Ighalo for Miguel Layun and Vydra. Within two minutes, Anya had been released down the left by Deeney and the Scotland international's first-time cross into the near post was met by a superb effort over his right shoulder by Cathcart. Scotland forward Ikechi Anya made a huge contribution when he was introduced in the 54th minute . Having gone in front, Watford missed a great chance to double their lead a couple of minutes later when Almen Abdi's floated free-kick picked out the unmarked Gabriele Angella, but he headed over the top. Angella had another chance and on this occasion he did nothing wrong, meeting an Abdi corner with a downward header only to see it cleared off the goal-line. There was little else in the way of goalmouth action, with the drama instead coming on the south coast as Jokanovic's men were left with their destiny in their own hands.", "summary": "Craig Cathcart stuck the only goal of the game in the 56th minute .

+{"article": "Scientists may have captured the song of a new species of whale living in the Antarctic. The song can\u2019t be identified and doesn\u2019t fit the pattern of noise generated by the few known species of beaked whale, raising hopes that it could be coming from a completely new species. While beaked whales make up the second largest family of cetaceans, relatively little is known about them, mainly because they spend very little time on the water\u2019s surface. Experts are sure the noise isn\u2019t made by Arnoux's beaked whales or Cuvier's beaked whales (stock image), because the signal doesn\u2019t match . There are 22 species of beaked whale and all of them are elusive deep divers, meaning that they are most often identified by their songs, which they use to navigate. The mysterious \u2018Antarctic BW29 signal was recorded near the Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands, and Antarctic Peninsula by scientists led by Jennifer Trickey of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, at the University of California, in La Jolla, California. They have recorded the noise more than 1,000 times to conclude that it\u2019s unique in the composition of sounds making the signal and in timing, BBC Earth reported. \u2018Given that new species of beaked whale are still being discovered, the source of these Antarctic signals might be a species that has yet to be identified,\u2019 the study says. But the song belong to a strap-toothed whale, a southern bottlenosed whale or a Gray\u2019s beaked whale (pictured), according to the study, despite the sound being the wrong frequency for a Gray\u2019s beaked whale . Whale sounds are used by whales for different kinds of communication. The word 'song' is used to describe the pattern of regular and predictable sounds made by some species of whales. Only males 'sing'. While the complex sounds of the humpback whale and some blue whales are believed to be primarily used in sexual selection, all whales use simpler sounds all year round to communicate. Whales occupying the same geographical areas, which can be vast, tend to sing similar songs with only small variations. Male humpback whales have been described as 'inveterate composers' of songs and experts have said that their songs are similar to human music in many ways. Experts are sure the noise isn\u2019t made by Arnoux's beaked whales or Cuvier's beaked whales, because the signal doesn\u2019t match their songs. But it could belong to a strap-toothed whale, a southern bottlenosed whale or a Gray\u2019s beaked whale, according to the study, published in the Journal of Marine Mammal Science. It is very rare for strap-toothed wakes to be sighted as far south as the noises have been heard, while the noise is the wrong frequency for a Gray\u2019s beaked whale, leaving the southern bottlenosed whale as the most likely match. But again there\u2019s a problem, because the whale\u2019s relative, the northern bottlenose whale, makes very different calls, leading experts to think that the southern species probably vocalises in a similar way \u2013 unlike the Antarctic BW29 signal.

This is according to a new study which claims the Kola fireball had a 'disturbingly similar' path to asteroid 2014 UR116, which is due to pass by the moon in 2017. Spotted on April 19 last year, researchers used camera footage to help recreate its trajectory and hunt down any remaining fragments. A stunning fireball that crackled across the sky near the Russian-Finnish border last year shared its orbit with a huge asteroid found in October. Pictured is he fireball at the time of entry at the Kola Peninsula . Joseph Maria Trigo-Rodr\u00edguez, a researcher at the Institute of Space Sciences in Barcelona, Spain, headed the team of scientists who studied the meteorite's orbit. They determined the fireball's path by studying its flight and the meteorite's final impact site, before creating a computer model based on those figures. This led researchers to the Annama meteorite, which is an ordinary H5 chondrite - a group of space rocks with high strength that make up 31 per cent of meteorite falls. The computer model compared the orbit of Annama, a 1,100lb (500kg) rock, with the evolution of a dozen orbits of near-Earth asteroids.

However, he said it highlights the damage an asteroid could cause - in this case an explosion 1,000 times greater than the surprise 2013 impact of a bus-sized meteor in Russia. At 400-metres (1,300 feet) in size, the space rock is about the same size as the Empire State Building is tall. Proffesor Lipunov said it is difficult to calculate the orbit of big rocks like '2014 UR116' because their trajectories are constantly being changed by the gravitational pull of other planets. It showed a similarity with the evolution of 2014 UR116, which given its size and minimum distance to the planet, has been classed a 'potentially dangerous asteroid'. Vladimir Lipunov, a professor at Moscow State University, said the space rock, poses no immediate threat - although warned it could 'theoretically' hit Earth. Currently, 1,573 asteroids of this type are known so researchers are investigating to what extent they can pose a danger. While the study does not claim that asteroid 2014 UR116 sent the Annama meteorite directly at Earth, it suggests the two bodies are related.

Cotterill knew his victim from childhood and knew that she had been previously involved in making sex tapes, Birmingham Magistrates' Court heard. He and the victim had attended the same school when they were children but got back in contact through Facebook in 2013. They met up for three dates between January and September 2013 but had sex on just one occasion. The court was told that the mother - a former sex worker - immediately regretted the liaison and told her lover she did not want to see him again. Soon afterwards she began receiving 'creepy' messages from the defendant, saying he loved her and wanted to be with her. As a result, she 'unfriended' him on Facebook and changed her mobile phone number. During the trial the woman told the court he set up 67 different Facebook in an attempt to contact her after she blocked him on the social networking site. She said: 'He started setting up different profiles on Facebook to send me messages. He also sent my family messages and my friends messages because he couldn't get to me. 'I was very upset, it drove me insane, it made me depressed. I'm on medication. 'His language was absolutely disgusting. He was asking me why I wasn't playing any more, calling me names.' The victim said Cotterill found pictures of her on the internet that he threatened to send to her family and friends. He sent more than one to her daughter, she said.

+{"article": "A new vaccine to stimulate the body's immune system could offer a cure for HIV. The 'kick and kill' strategy aims to eradicate the virus, by stimulating the immune system - the body's natural defence mechanism - with a vaccine. Researchers believe the injection could flush out dormant HIV hiding in white blood cells with a chemical 'kick', allowing a boosted immune system to identify and kill the cells. The theory, developed by researchers at University College London, the University of Oxford and the University of North Carolina, is based on a single patient case study. Scientists hope a new 'kick and kill' vaccine could flush out HIV hidden in the body before stimulating a person's own immune system to kill the cells . 'Our study shows that the immune system can be as powerful as the most potent combination drug cocktails,' study co-author Dr Ravi Gupta, of UCL, said. 'We're still a long way from being able to cure HIV patients, as we still need to develop and test effective vaccines, but this study takes us one step closer by showing us what type of immune responses an effective vaccine should induce.' The study looked at a single 59-year-old man in London who was an 'elite controller' - meaning his immune system could control HIV for a long period of time without his needing treatment. Elite controllers, who make up 0.3 per cent of HIV patients, eventually require treatment to prevent progression to AIDS. But they can go a lot longer without treatment because their immune systems are more active against HIV. The patient in the study had both HIV and myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. The bone marrow produces white blood cells, including those that help to control HIV. Pioneering new treatments for HIV, flu, ebola and cancer are being developed by scientists harnessing man-made DNA. Experts have discovered how to create strands of artificial DNA, each mimicking a different killer disease, and inject them into patients. The idea is that the patients' immune systems will then be able to recognise the threats and eliminate them. Inovio, one of the companies behind the technique, has begun trials in humans, after strong results in the lab. The American company is using the method to attack flu, ebola and certain types of cancer \u2013 as well as HIV and hepatitis. Experts have already started trials on female patients to see if they can stop them developing cervical cancer. To treat the patient's myeloma, his bone marrow was completely removed and replaced using his own stem cells. When the bone marrow was removed, the immune system was severely impaired, allowing the HIV to re-activate and replicate. This caused the level of virus in his bloodstream to rise from fewer than 50 copies per millilitre to approximately 28,000 copies per ml before is immune system's function returned. When the patient's immune function returned about two weeks after the transplant, the levels of HIV in his bloodstream rapidly fell. His immune system reduced HIV levels at a similar rate to the most powerful", "summary": "Scientists believe future vaccine could trigger body's immune system .

Remmie, 18, had a thick bar put through her ear as an act of teenage rebellion, and initially hoped it would make her stand out from the crowd. But when the piercing became inflamed, Remmie was forced to remove the bar - and the resulting wound healed into a hazelnut-sized lump known as a keloid scar. Scroll down for video .

Vile: Remmie, 18, says the unsightly lump is 'vile' and has knocked her confidence badly . Desperate to get rid of the unsightly lump, Remmie was forced to seek the help of cosmetic surgeon Vik Vijh. Mr Vijh immediately diagnosed a keloid scar, which according to the British Skin Foundation, affects between 10 and 15 per cent of wounds. The scars, which usually take the form of a hard lump of tissue and are often larger than the original wound, are most frequently found on the shoulders and neck. Unfortunately, as Mr Vijh pointed out, removal operations frequently make things worse as the body goes into overdrive to heal the new wound. But much to the 18-year-old's relief, he also revealed that keloid removal operations on the ear are among the most likely to be successful. Much better: The teenager is now smiling again after a cosmetic surgeon managed to remove the scar . 'The good news is I can take these lumps away and reconstruct,' he explains. 'But there is a risk the scars could return.' Despite the risk, Remmie chose to go ahead and much to her delight, her ear has been returned to normal.

The Local Government Association warned they may not be able to create more places at the rate that is needed. Pressure on the education system has intensified following a baby boom and continued migration, forcing schools to boost class sizes and classrooms - but say they may not be able to continue doing so . Its analysis of official figures indicates that by September next year, two in five local authorities in England will have more children ready to start school than there are places. This will increase to more than half by 2017/18 and to three in five by the following year. It comes after the head of Ofsted Sir Michael Wilshaw warned last year that schools were struggling to cope with growing numbers of migrant pupils. \u2018When they\u2019re faced with an influx of children from other countries, they need the resources and capacity to deal with it and if those resources aren\u2019t there, that\u2019s a big issue for government,\u2019 he said. In 2013, a leaked paper prepared by the Department for Education revealed a steady increase in the number of babies being born has helped fuel the crisis. The LGA said that councils have created more than 300,000 primary school places since May 2010, with many increasing class sizes.

Last year, research based on an LGA report found an extra 130,000 primary places would be needed across the country within three years.

Kipsiro says they went to him as the senior athlete and captain of the team \u2013 he holds national records and has won medals at world level as well as three Commonwealth golds \u2013 and complained a coach had been raping them. \u2018According to the girls he would tell them he wanted to get them pregnant and then have an abortion, because by doing that it would widen their private parts and enable them to run like Kenyans,\u2019 Kipsiro told me. \u2018I went to the federation and I went to the police. But so far nothing has happened. Apart from the fact that I have received these death threats. My brother has also been threatened and arrested. And I have been dropped from the team. I did not run in the World Cross Country Championships in China last weekend because of this.\u2019 Officials at the Ugandan Athletics Federation deny the allegations but details of the story have appeared in a Ugandan newspaper, which reportedly interviewed three of the female runners who had spent a month at the training camp in Kapchorwa in March last year.

So when Australian skateboarder Oliver Percovich created Skateistan, a non-profit organization that aims to connect youth in Afghanistan with education through skateboarding, it shouldn't have been a surprise that 40 per cent of the program's students would be girls. In 2012, photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson decided to take pictures of these Middle Eastern skater girls, and her work was recently on display at a gallery in London. Scroll down for video . Tough girls: Photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson took pictures of young girls skateboarding in dresses and skirts in Kabul, Afghanistan . Finding time for fun: Most girls are not allowed to ride bikes in Afghanistan, but skateboarding isn't against the rules . According to Feature Shoot, when Mr. Percovich first brought the program to Kabul, Afghanistan in 2007, many of the locals had never even heard of skateboarding. In fact, Ms. Fulford-Dobson said she believes the reason skateboarding has been received so differently in Afghanistan than in other countries is precisely because it was new to the region. 'When skateboarding arrived in Afghanistan, it didn't have any preconceived images for them. They didn't know what it was,' she said, while adding that it was only accepted after it became clear that it was just 'a toy to have fun with'. Safety first: While the girls were conservatively dressed, they didn't forgo safety measures like wearing helmets and knee pads . Little ladies who skate: Ms. Fulford-Dobson said she was fascinated with just how immaculate one girl, left, was, considering how dusty the skateboard facilities were . This sport knows no gender: 40 per cent of Skateistan's students are female; the girls also have the option of joining a back-to-school program . Now, its the top sport for girls in the country, who are able to ride freely in dresses and other clothing that can be restrictive when playing other sports. When Ms. Fulford-Dobson visited the Skateistan facilities in 2012, she quickly noticed their confidence and the joy they took in learning. She took pictures of them with natural light, capturing them in dresses, pants, headscarves and sneakers as they happily played on skateboards. 'I captured about nine in total,' she told the BBC, recalling one girl whose father had initially told her she couldn't join the skateboarding program. He finally relented after she wouldn't stop begging him. Girls will be girls: Ms. Fulford-Dobson said she was struck by the girls' confidence and how happy they were to skateboard . Unconventional athletic gear: The style of dress required by girls can make it difficult to play other sports, but luckily it doesn\u2019t tend to interfere with their skateboarding . 'I met so many impressive women and girls in Afghanistan: a teacher as tough and determined as any man; young Afghans in their early twenties who were volunteering at an orphanage and were passionate about being seen as strong and willing to fight for themselves, rather than as victims of circumstance; and girls who were being educated to", "summary": "Photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson took pictures of the girls at the Skateistan facilities in Kabul .

A 16-year-old girl charged with arson after she discarded a cigarette causing a city centre shop blaze which claimed the life of a firefighter had the charge dropped today after a judge said she was 'guilty only of being careless'. Fireman Stephen Hunt, 38, lost his life tackling the inferno which began at Paul's Hair World in Manchester's Northern Quarter almost two years ago. The girl - who was just 15 at the time - is said to have dropped a cigarette to the floor while standing near the shop's fire exit which rolled underneath the door and set boxes alight. She was originally charged with arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered, but was cleared having been due to stand trial on Monday. After more than a year of legal wrangling, with scientists initially stating that the fire could not have been started accidentally, further investigation led to the conclusion a discarded cigarette could have been the cause. More than 60 firefighters battled the blaze, which erupted on July 13, 2013, as frightened passers-by watched on. Father-of-two Mr Hunt, of Whitefield, Manchester, and another fireman, got into difficulties while tackling the fire and they were rushed to hospital where Mr Hunt was pronounced dead. At Manchester Crown Court, prosecutor Alexander Leach said thin and damaged cardboard boxes and paper labels stored behind the fire door at the business may well have caught fire if a cigarette was discarded. He said: 'Combined with the suggestion that boxes may have been on top of the smouldering cigarette, compressing and containing the heat, this made it more likely items would ignite. The salon was totally gutted when an inferno started by a discarded cigarette ripped through it.

This was Mario Mandzukic involved in bust-up after bust-up as he shed blood and sweat against great rivals Real Madrid at the Vicente Calderon. When Atletico allowed Costa to sign for Chelsea on July 1, 2014, Diego Simeone may have fretted about losing his street fighter. Not for long, however. Just nine days later, he bought Mandzukic from Bayern Munich, and the Croatia international looked every bit as aggressive on Tuesday night.

Sergio Ramos and Atletico Madrid striker Mandzukic continually clashed on Tuesday night during the tie . Mandzukic proved he is a warrior with his performance against Real Madrid, just as Diego Costa was . Costa gives John Terry, who is now his Chelsea team-mate, a stern look during a Champions League tie . Nobody elbowed their way to the top quite like Costa \u2013 from the streets of Brazil, to Spain, to England \u2013 and the same went for Mandzukic in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. The 28-year-old came to blows with defenders Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal \u2013 drawing blood after an elbow to the face from the former, while receiving a punch, and possibly a bite, from the latter. ITV pundit Paul Scholes said Mandzukic 'made a meal of things' yet the evidence was there for all to see, pouring down his face. Round two awaits at the Bernabeu next week. Yet Mandzukic was as culpable as he was the victim. He committed seven fouls, compared to 11 in total by Real Madrid, and it was more than any player has managed in a Champions League game against the winners of La Decima before. The long-ball tactic by Atletico was not working, nor did Mandzukic have enough pace to beat a defence boasting Raphael Varane. He had zero shots on or off target, completed just 18 passes over 90 minutes, and lacked the pace and darting runs Costa delivers. Yet this was about playing rough, rather than scoring goals, and he played the role of warrior to perfection. So much so that Simeone \u2013 albeit riskily \u2013 substituted his partner, Antoine Griezmann, after 77 minutes instead of the man on thin ice.

For the past eight years, Scott had taught special education and social studies at Cass High School and was the school's head basketball coach. Sudden death: Less than 24 hours after Georgia high school basketball coach Greg Scott (left) was diagnosed with leukemia, he succumbed to the illness . Mentor: For the past eight years, Scott (pictured right with his son) had taught special education and social studies at Cass High School and was the school's head basketball coach . Towering figure: The teacher and sports coach was universally remembered as a deeply caring, wise man who was committed to his students and players . But those who knew him, including his colleagues and players, say there was much more to Scott than his love of sports. False hope: Initially, Scott (pictured with daughter Cieanna) and his family were told that his leukemia was treatable . Greg Scott, 51, a basketball coach at Cass High School in Georgia, likely had contracted a fast-moving type of leukemia, known as acute myeloid leukemia, months before his death but was diagnosed only a day before he lost his brief battle with the illness. Leukemia is a type of cancer that starts in cells that form new blood cells. These cells are found in the soft, inner part of the bones called the bone marrow. In patients who suffers from AML, the cancer grows quickly, and if not treated, could be fatal in a matter of months. With acute types of leukemia such as AML, bone marrow cells do not mature the way they're supposed to. These immature cells, called blast cells, just keep building up. Because it is \u2018acute,\u2019 this type of leukemia can spread quickly to the blood and to other parts of the body such as lymph nodes; liver; spleen; brain and spinal cord, as well as testicles in men. This type of cancer is considered rare and has a five-year survival rate of only 24 per cent.

The baby, a boy named Prince Irfan, was born in the Swiss city of Geneva last Saturday and both mother and child are doing well. News of the birth, which was announced yesterday, has been greeted with joy by the followers of the Aga Khan, who, in a statement, spoke of his family's 'great happiness'. Scroll down for video . Glamorous: Princess Salwa Aga Khan, pictured during a photo shoot last year, has given birth to a son . Ms Spears, a Seattle-born supermodel who has starred in campaigns for Diane von Furstenburg and Chanel among others, married Prince Rahim Aga Khan in 2013 following a four month engagement. The model, 26, had been considered 'the next Cindy Crawford' by her agency Ford Models, but has put her career on the back-burner since becoming wife to the 44-year-old royal. She follows in the footsteps of a string of American royal wives, among them actress Rita Hayworth who was married to Sir Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan. Prince Rahim's younger brother Hussein, 41, also married an American, although his marriage to New Yorker Kristin White, 38, ended shortly after his brother's wedding in 2013. The Jordanian royals have also made a habit of wedding Americans, most famously Lisa Najeeb Halaby who became known as Queen Noor following her marriage.

Like the King Abdullah of Jordan, the Aga Khan, a title bestowed upon the family by Persian (now Iran) ruler Fath-Ali Shah Qajar in 1818, claims to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammed. Prince Rahim's father Prince Shah Karim Al Hussaini is the current Aga Khan and took the title aged 20 following the death of his grandfather, Sir Sultan Muhammed Shah, Aga Khan III. A British business magnate and a racehorse enthusiast, he is responsible for adding to the family fortune, which is thought to amount to more than $800m. Not all of the money was acquired through commerce, however. Part of it comes from a tithe paid by Ismaili Muslims called a 'dasond' - the equivalent of 12.5 percent of each person's gross annual income.

In addition to adjusting its prices, Less Than 100 is also holding events promoting wage equality at the pop-up space, including one for April 14's Equal Pay Day, which represents how far into the year a woman must work to earn as much as her male counterpart did the previous year.

A hearing in the case is scheduled for Friday in Alexandria. The ex-student has sued under a pseudonym to protect his privacy. The university is demanding he identify himself publicly, despite arguments that doing so would expose not only him but the woman who says she was assaulted. The student says he had been in a longstanding relationship with the woman, and that they frequently engaged in sadomasochistic role playing that involved using a safe word if one or the other wanted to stop. Lawsuit: A student expelled from GMU for violating its sexual misconduct policy is suing in federal court to clear his name, arguing that an encounter with a girlfriend was sadomasochistic role playing, not sexual assault (file) The lawsuit comes as colleges across the country, and particularly in Virginia, are under increased scrutiny for how they respond to allegations of sexual assault. The University of Virginia implemented changes in its sexual misconduct policy in the aftermath of a now-discredited Rolling Stone article alleging that school officials were indifferent to allegations that a student had been raped at a fraternity party. The sexual misconduct allegations at George Mason stem from an October 2013 encounter with the couple in the male student's dorm room on the Fairfax campus. At one point, according to the lawsuit, she pushed him away but didn't invoke her safe word. Later that night, the two engaged in a second sex act, in which the male student asked her if she was interested, and she replied, 'I don't know.' According to the lawsuit, the couple remained romantically involved for several months, but they broke up after she found that he had been cheating on her. It was only then that she filed a complaint against him, according to the suit. In September, a university panel conducted a 10-hour hearing to determine whether the student had violated the university's code of conduct. A three-person panel cleared him of any wrongdoing, according to the suit. But the woman appealed, and a university administrator, Assistant Dean of Students Brent Ericson, overruled the panel and expelled the student. Process: The lawsuit claims the woman only filed a complaint after the couple broke up and she had found out the man was cheating on her (file) The lawsuit says that the appeal was handled improperly. It seeks an order that would strike the violation from his student record, and $3 million in damages. The lawsuit claims that the expulsion was a result of gender bias, and also claims that it violated his right to engage in constitutionally protected sexual activity.

Miss Walford, 75, has spent two years fighting Worcestershire County Council over whether the \u00a3205,000 house should be used to recover the cost of her mother\u2019s care. Glen Walford (left) has been embroiled in a legal battle with Worcestershire County Council since her mother Mary (right) moved to a care home in 2006.

Jilted lovers and hackers could anonymously post nude photos of people without their consent, along with personal information about them, at a website Bollaert created and moderated, called ugotposted.com.

Shameful: In a first-of-its-kind ruling, Bollaert was sentenced t 18 years for running a 'revenge porn' site, publishing nude and embarassing photos of women sent in anonymously by people wanting to hurt them . People who sought to have the explicit images taken down were directed to changemyreputation.com and charged $250 to $350 to remove the racy content. Victims included teachers, wives and professionals. The compromising photos cost people jobs, damaged relationships and led to one attempted suicide. Bollaert earned about $900 a month in website ad revenue and collected about $30,000 from victims. Bollaert's lawyer had claimed at trial that the business was gross and offensive, but he didn't break the law by allowing others to post the explicit material. 'It's gross, it's offensive, but it's not illegal,' Emily Rose-Weber said. Ruined: In spite of the thousands of emails he got begging to have photos taken down, Bollaert told investigators it was his life that had been ruined by the site .

Police said the woman told Fleming the hearing was at Lake Superior Court in Hammond, which is 13 miles from the home where the body was discovered. The infant was handed over to police by a woman who is believed to be the alleged kidnapper's sister, according to the Chicago Tribune. Police have not released the name of the woman. Pawlak said the woman had arrived at the house of the alleged kidnapper, who was not there, to pick up items for the baby. The house had a nursery. 'It appears that she had been planning this,' Pawlak said. 'There was everything you would buy for a new baby. A crib, changing table, diaper bag, carrier, new clothes.' According to police, the alleged kidnapper had asked her sister to care for the baby she was passing off as her own. That is the same story one neighbor of the woman said she was also told.

In mid-March, one of the alleged victims brought a $647,000 lawsuit against the Utah school district accusing officials of negligence for failing to fire the 'flirtatious' teacher before she started a sexual relationship with him. More legal trouble: Two students have now filed lawsuits against the Davis County School District in Utah accusing officials of failing to fire English teacher Brianne Altice, pictured in court in January, who is accused of having six with three boys . The latest lawsuit, filed last week, describes how Altice began flirting with the student, then 16, and other boys in her class, reported The Salt Lake Tribune. Court documents detail how at times, the students skipped other classes and spent entire days with Altice, sent her text messages and made explicit comments to her. On her part, the 35-year-old Altice confided in her teenage admirers about her martial problems. According to the complaint, the relationship between the woman and the boys in her class eventually turned physical. Court documents state that Altice's dalliances were an open secret at Davis High, where the running joke among students was: 'Who is Ms Altice sleeping with now?' Similarly to the first lawsuit, the new complaint alleges that the school district was aware of Brianne Altice's inappropriate behavior but failed to take action against her. She allegedly had sex with the third student while she was out on bail for charges relating to the first two students. Her bail was then revoked and she remains behind bars. Not happy: Altice is pictured in court in February after her motion to drop one of the charges against her was denied . The student who brought the initial lawsuit in March accused the district of being negligent when it hired Altice and says it is responsible for the damage she inflicted on him. He claimed they started a relationship in early 2013 after they flirted during class and texted and ultimately started kissing and having sex.

+{"article": "Julie McKenzie thought scoliosis was the cause of her bad back . Julie McKenzie was assured by her GP that her nagging back pain was down to a mild curvature of the spine. She'd gone to see him three months after suddenly developing back problems and had been referred for X-rays. These revealed that her spine was slightly curved, a condition known as scoliosis. 'My GP said that as far as he was concerned, my pain was the result of the scoliosis and that I should try Pilates to build up my muscle strength'. But Julie, 53, felt there was more to it - she'd always been strong and active until the pain began in the spring of 2013. As she explains: 'I'd been doing a lot of gardening, and noticed my lower back ached afterwards,' she says. 'At first a hot bath would sort it out, but as the months passed I found the aching was bad after strenuous activity, such as DIY, and didn't go away after a bath any more.' Painkillers were of little help. 'If I made a sudden movement, I'd experience a sharp, pinching pain in my lower spine that would take my breath away and force me to stop whatever I was doing.' A month after seeing her GP, and feeling increasingly desperate, Julie, an administrator, who is divorced with two grown-up children, and lives in Bushey, Herts, used her private medical cover to see a spinal surgeon, Robert Lee. The consultant ordered an MRI scan, which showed that she did have some scoliosis and her discs had signs of wear and tear, suggesting arthritis. But crucially the radiographer spotted that Julie's coccyx - the bone at the tail of the spine - was slightly enlarged. It contained a tumour. Cases like Julie's are why some experts feel that too often back pain is written off as something that is to be endured, rather than investigated. 'Eighty per cent of people will experience an episode of severe back pain in their lifetime - but only 8 per cent of these go on to suffer chronic pain,' says Peter Hamlyn, a neurosurgeon at University College Hospital London and the Spine Surgery London. 'Many of these chronic sufferers are simply dismissed as having 'non-specific low back pain'. 'That term needs to be abandoned and early referral for investigation and diagnosis-based treatment should instead become the norm.' Back pain is 'very often under-investigated', adds surgeon Robert Lee, of the Spire Hospital in Bushey. 'This means that treatable conditions such as disc prolapses, osteoporotic fractures, deformity, infection and tumours can be missed.' She sought a second opinion from a private surgeon, who sent her for an MRI scan . He adds: 'Most back pain is the result of muscular strains, and is short-lived.'As long as there are no 'red flag' symptoms - such as numbness around the groin and difficulties passing urine or with your bowels - then painkillers and physiotherapy are good approaches. 'However, an MRI should be offered when back pain goes on for eight weeks or more", "summary": "Julie McKenzie, 53, from Bushy, Herts, had a nagging back pain .

Patients\u2019 lives are at risk from blood poisoning because hospitals are not implementing a standard treatment that can double their chances of survival, experts have warned. Sepsis, previously known as septicaemia, affects more than 100,000 Britons a year and kills 37,000 \u2013 more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined. Now a snapshot NHS study reveals that on one surgical ward at a leading teaching hospital, 90 per cent of patients failed to get the correct treatment, involving a simple set of lifesaving measures known as Sepsis Six. After high-profile campaigns in 2013 which exposed the shocking death rates, the method was officially recommended by NHS England. Yet an audit, revealed at the annual president\u2019s meeting of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in March, showed that vital steps in the process are being missed, meaning the condition was more likely to take hold with fatal consequences. The College is now calling for nationwide tracking of the protocol to weed out hospitals that are failing to tackle the problem. Sepsis Six involves blood tests to check for infection; testing the level of lactate, a chemical produced when cells are starved of oxygen; giving oxygen and IV fluids to protect organs and raise dangerously low blood pressure; checking urine hourly to monitor fluid levels and kidney function; and administering antibiotics to clear any underlying infection. The study of 23 patients with sepsis at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary revealed just one in ten had their lactate levels tested. Only 40 per cent were given oxygen, and staff failed to measure urine output in nearly a third of cases. Dr Ron Daniels, chief executive of the UK Sepsis Trust who helped devise Sepsis Six, warns that, despite being a small sample, the finding of the study was far from unusual. \u2018Sadly this and other studies show patients are not getting access to a treatment that saves lives. Every one of the six steps is vitally important, and nothing should be missed out.\u2019 Some 90 per cent of patients were not given correct treatment to prevent blood poisoning on a surgical ward at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, an NHS study revealed . Sepsis occurs when the immune system overreacts to an infection, causing multiple organ failure if not treated quickly. It can be triggered by an infection in any part of the body, most commonly the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen and pelvis. It is often a problem that develops while in hospital, after surgery. Those with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or cancer are at increased risk. Symptoms include slurred speech, muscle pain, mottled or discoloured skin, poor urine output and severe breathlessness. \u2018Delays in the identification and treatment of sepsis can have serious consequences for patients,\u2019 says Dr Seng Wong, who carried out the Edinburgh audit. His research also found Sepsis Six awareness improved after a three-month staff training and a poster campaign. More than half of subsequent patients had their lactate measured, 60 per cent", "summary": "Experts have warned hospitals not using standard treatment for sepsis .

Forms saying: 'U r a gr8 company 2 work 4' and 'Btw am out of work atm' are examples hitting their job chances. Young job seekers fill forms with text speak such as 'U r a gr8 company 2 work 4' and 'Btw am out of work atm' The Cardiff-based insurer with more than 5,000 staff voiced their fears in evidence to the Welsh Assembly's Enterprise and Business Committee that many youngsters failed at the application form stage. An Admiral spokesperson said: 'We do not ask for any formal qualifications, but we expect the spelling and grammar on the application form to be of a certain standard. 'A lot of it is like text-speak, there is no punctuation or upper case. So, that is the first impression that you get.' The committee called on the experience of Admiral, one of the UK's biggest car insurance providers employing more than 5,000 people.

Jonny Bucknell, 58, was enjoying his meal in the council chamber when a Labour rival, Theo Blackwell, spotted him and alerted other councillors. He was forced to put down his cutlery when the mayor, Lazzaro Pietragnoli, interrupted the proceedings to tell him off. Taking a stand: Jonny Bucknell is no stranger to odd behaviour. In 2013 he slept in his car at the Tory party conference. He now says he wants a rule change so he can eat a roast dinner at council meetings . The mayor, who was chairing the meeting of Camden Council in north London, reminded the hungry councillor that eating was banned in the chamber. But the angry diner claims he was unaware eating there was forbidden and said he now aims to campaign for a rule change. The rumpus comes a month after Liberal Democrat councillor Martin Elengorn was caught playing Scrabble during a Richmond Council budget meeting in south-west London. Telling off: Mayor of Camden Council, Lazzaro Pietragnoli, had to tell Mr Bucknell to stop eating . When he first noticed him eating, Mr Blackwell told his fellow councillors: 'It appears that one of our Tory colleagues is consuming a full Sunday roast dinner in the council chamber. 'Could I ask the borough solicitor to give us advice on eating a full roast dinner in the council chamber? It's a little bit more than a cheeky Snickers.' The diner was forced to curtail his meal. Mr Bucknell, who has been a councillor for more than ten years and represents Belsize, Hampstead, told the Evening Standard: 'I never knew there was a ban on eating in the chamber. 'They should definitely repeal it. There is nothing wrong with nibbling from a lunch box if you are being discreet. 'It is not as if a cold meal is going to waft around like a McDonald's. 'I will be campaigning for the repealing of the law that says you can't nibble from a lunch box in the council chamber.' The Conservative councillor said the meal, in a plastic box, had travelled home with him after a French snowboarding holiday. 'The chalet always brought out too much food and I can't stand wasting food,' he said. He previously found fame when he slept in his Volvo car to save on hotel bills during the Conservative party conference in September 2013. Mr Bucknell said at the time it was to make a stand against what he called 'ridiculous prices'. He said the economy would improve if more people were thrifty like him. After the council meeting mayor Lazzaro Pietragnoli said: 'I understand councillors do a difficult job and sometimes don't get time to eat dinner.

Medics told the family of Margaret Hesketh there was little they could do for the 70-year-old because she was riddled with tumours .

When asked why the new footage had not been released, a police spokesman said the force would not discuss 'specifics' of CCTV being examined and would release appropriate footage when needed for a public appeal.

+{"article": "A Sicilian Mafia fugitive dubbed the Godfather of Uxbridge who was set to be extradited to Italy will be allowed to remain in the UK after his sentence was dropped. Domenico Rancadore, who has lived in Britain for more than 20 years, was given a seven-year sentence by an Italian court in 1999 for being a member of the Cosa Nostra. In February he lost his year-and-a-half battle against extradition and was told he must return to Italy to serve his sentence. But today it emerged that the 65-year-old's case expired last October and his European Arrest Warrant is to be withdrawn. Sentence dropped: Domenico Rancadore (right and left) fled to Britain in the 1990s and was convicted in his absence in Italy for his role as a 'man of honour' Although his conviction remains intact, Italian law states that a sentence is extinguished once a period of more than double the time of the penalty has passed. The case will still have to be heard by the Italian Supreme Court, according to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Rancadore's solicitor, Karen Todner said: 'Yesterday the Italian Court of Appeal agreed to extinguish the conviction of Domenico Rancadore on the basis that the conviction is too old to sustain a prison sentence. 'I am therefore confident that the Italian government will now withdraw their application for a European Arrest Warrant and that Mr Rancadore will be discharged from these proceedings. 'There has been a long and unhappy history of these proceedings and I am delighted Mr Rancadore will now be able to live in peace in England with his wife and family.' Ms Todner said she was waiting for the CPS to sign a consent order so that the court could discharge Rancadore. Once the paperwork is in order, the matter will be listed at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London and a judge will then have to approve it. The Italian mobster does not have to be present when the matter is dealt with in court. Domenico Rancadore, pictured with hiswife Ann last year, will be allowed to remain in the UK after his sentence dropped . Rancadore was first arrested on a European arrest warrant at his semi-detached London home in August 2013. Although he was never convicted of murder, the Italian authorities wanted him to be returned to the country after he fled in 1995.

When Poppy Smart was wolf-whistled at by builders on her walk to work, she at first tried to ignore it. But as the whistles and accompanying sexist comments turned into a daily ritual, the 23-year-old began to get upset. Finally, after a month of unwanted attention from the men on the building site, the marketing co-ordinator decided she'd had enough \u2013 and called the police. Miss Smart, who recorded the constant whistling using her smartphone's video function, also contacted one of the construction companies working at the site to complain of sexual harassment. She compared the wolf-whistling to racial discrimination and said it made her walk to work in Worcester city centre an 'awful experience'. One of the workers even approached her on the pavement, blocking her way, before saying 'Morning love' after she had ignored a cacophony of whistling, Miss Smart said. 'He was probably 18 or 19 and got right in my face, standing next to an older man. He didn't touch me but they were in my personal space in the pavement, in my way, even though I literally blanked him. It is incredibly intimidating.

West Mercia police confirmed they had followed up Miss Smart's complaint as a possible incident of anti-social behaviour but had not taken further action. A spokesman said: 'After consultation with the woman who reported the behaviour it was decided that the employers would deal with those said to be responsible.' Although wolf-whistling is not a specific offence, workmen who repeatedly make obscene comments to passers-by could be convicted of a breach of the peace. Miss Smart, from Worcester, was first whistled at in the middle of February when she started a new job. Ms Smart recorded one of the occasions she walked past the building site. There is no suggestion any of the men pictured in the mobile phone footage (shown left and right) were involved in the alleged wolf-whistling . The builders concerned were working on the expansion of the Bolero restaurant. Miss Smart said she had not seen the men responsible since she complained to the building company, Fimeca.

Fimeca Building and Maintenance, of Pershore, Worcestershire, said the matter was being dealt with by the firm's solicitors but refused to comment further.

A generation of older workers are risking redundancy and long-term unemployment because of poor technology skills, it is claimed. Experts said training was \u2018heavily geared\u2019 towards young people, meaning many older workers were left behind in the workplace. This left them vulnerable when companies start \u2018shedding\u2019 jobs. While older generations often pride themselves on their numeracy and literacy skills, even these could \u2018go stale\u2019 with age, a study warned. The Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) said research showed that over-55s had the same literacy and numeracy skills as those aged 16 to 24 \u2013 and were worse at these skills than colleagues in their 30s and 40s. The AAT said the death of a \u2018job for life\u2019 meant workers could no longer rely on loyalty to their company and experience to take them through to retirement with the same employer. Instead, older workers could not become complacent and must constantly \u2018reskill\u2019 and retrain to boost their job security, it said. In a new report on the value of training for older workers, it said: \u2018The old model of training in youth and a \"career for life\" thereafter no longer applies\u2019. A survey by the AAT found that, while people in their twenties, thirties and forties aspired to take a master\u2019s degree in the future or a vocational qualification, this stopped at 55, when most respondents said they were unlikely to undertake a formal qualification. A third of over-55s cited their age as the reason for not wanting to take a new qualification. The majority of older workers did not believe better computer skills would help them in their current job, while an astonishing one in 10 have never used a computer. But the AAT said the reality was they may have a \u2018lack of knowledge of what modern and technological tools there are available which could assist them carrying out their tasks\u2019. Education: A third of over-55s cited their age as the reason for not wanting to take a new qualification . Mark Farrar, of the AAT, said: \u2018Older generations are faced with the greatest barriers when it comes to reskilling. \u2018Given rapid economic and technological changes, many traditional jobs are less secure than in the past and older workers are increasingly facing the threat of redundancy. \u2018The UK\u2019s ageing population is growing and the increased retirement age means people are working for longer. \u2018The challenge is therefore to ensure people can continue to participate in the labour market at the later stage of their working lives.\u2019 According to the Office for National Statistics, workers aged 55 and over are less likely to be unemployed than younger workers.

She was left with life-threatening injuries to her torso, chest, arms and back. Joseph O'Riordan stabbed his wife of ten years Amanda (left) with a seven inch kitchen knife eight times . O'Riordan, who was a councillor at the time, rang an ambulance after the attack in October last year and admitted what he had done during the 999 call. Yesterday it emerged that four months later, while on remand, O'Riordan wrote to his wife from jail asking her to 'get my things together' before for his trial. Meanwhile Mrs O'Riordan, during questioning by her husband's defence team in court yesterday, sobbed: 'I did not want to hurt Joe. I never wanted to hurt him\u2026 even now. All of this is my fault because I had an affair.' In the letter, which was posted from prison on February 4 this year, O'Riordan asked his wife to gather some of his belongings and give them to his son, including a 'decent jumper' and his 'beige casual jacket'. He also asked for his 'blue suit' and 'three ties that will go with the suit', which he said he needed for the trial. His letter went on: 'You will be fully aware that I cannot make any mention of the case. 'I hope and pray that your recovery continues to progress and you will always remain in my heart \u2013 God bless, Joe.' O'Riordan sobbed as the letter was read out at Brighton Crown Court yesterday. His wife also broke down in the witness box as she gave evidence from behind a screen. The case was adjourned for 90 minutes to give Mrs O'Riordan time to regain her composure. Prosecutor Dale Sullivan asked if she had been expecting the letter and she replied: 'No \u2013 I wasn't expecting anything from him.' Earlier, video footage of a pre-recorded police interview with Mrs O'Riordan was played to the court, in which she described her husband as 'passionate and vocally volatile' but said he had never 'laid a finger on her before.' She said she thought he might have suffered from 'mild depression' because he could be 'up one minute and down the next'. During later questioning by O'Riordan's defence counsel Peter Doyle QC, she said she and her husband were 'soulmates'. The couple, from Polegate, East Sussex, met in 1991 and had been married for ten years at the time of the attack, the court heard.

Yet unless you grew up on a vineyard or had a wise wino whisper the secrets of their connoisseuring ways, it's likely you don't know the distinct differences between a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Merlot and tend to swallow more than you spit it out at a wine tasting. Dr Alex Russell, a Sydney-based University lecturer who has worked in the wine retail industry for over 10 years (with a claim to fame selling the last $26,000 bottle of Glenfiddich in the world) and whose completed a PhD on 'the taste and smell perception of wine', shares his advice for wowing winos with your knowledge. Top tips: Dr Alex Russell shares his tips for mastering wine tasting in four hours . 1.SET ASIDE AT LEAST FOUR HOURS . As part of his research study, Russell would have people come into the lab every day to smell and taste lots of wines. 'In most cases, they would be in the lab for an hour and wouldn't learn much,' he said. 'However when participants stayed 30 minutes longer they showed signs of improvement and after four hours, they were doing well and got the hang of tasting.' 2. TRY DIFFERENT TYPES . 'No expert has become an expert by only drinking their favourite wine,' says Russell. 'Branch out, be willing to try wine by the glass rather than buying a whole bottle and try wines made from different grapes, regions or countries.' Name that note: The main skill wine experts have believes Russell, is an ability to put a name to the odour or scent . 3.TASTE THEM SIDE-BY-SIDE . While we have a distinct memory for smell, just like other types of memory, we can often be prone to forgetting too, according to Russell. 'Instead of relying on your memory to compare the wine you\u2019re drinking now verse the the one you tried last week, open up a few different bottles at the same time so you can compare them directly.' 4. SHUT YOUR EYES . The main skill wine experts have believes Russell, is an ability to put a name to the odour or scent. 'Wines that smell like blackcurrant might not actually be made from or with blackcurrant and don\u2019t look like blackcurrant so it can be hard to identify a smell when you can\u2019t visually associate it with the source,' he said. 'In fact these wines contain chemicals that, when isolated, smell very much like blackcurrant.' So Russell suggests going through your pantry with a friend and picking out various herbs and fruits. 'Smell and taste the ingredients with your eyes closed and try to identify them. Then learn from feedback - it might be hard at first but you\u2019ll improve over time.' 5. IF IN DOUBT, ADD YOUR OWN FLAVOURS AND SMELLS . 'If you're not sure what peach tastes like in a Chardonnay, then add a little bit of syrup from a can of peaches", "summary": "University lecturer Dr Alex Russell shares his expert advice .

Airline Codes features 438 airports from 94 countries, allowing users to finally understand why certain airlines are tagged as they are . Two aviation fans set out to document the world's airport codes and explain how they were chosen with their website Airport Codes. Listing the origins of 438 airports from 94 countries, they explain the reasons behind the unusual acronyms, such as why many Canadian airport codes begin with the letter Y. COK - Cochine International Airport in India takes its code from the fact it is based in the city of Kochi. DOH - Qatar's glitzy new airport is named for the capital Doha. AGP - Malaga Airport didn't want to take its first three letters from the city name as mal means bad in Spanish. So instead it is AGP, taking 'AG' from the middle of the word and filling with the letter 'P'.

When codes were generated in the 1930s, old broadcast radio codes were sometimes used. In Canada, radio stations used Y, and this was reflected in the majority of their airport codes starting with the same letter, as shown with YWG representing Winnipeg. The Australian Business Traveller stated that during the first days of air travel, airports were given a two letter 'weather station' code. As the amount of airports increased worldwide, this two-digit number rose to three so each could be given a unique code.

A member of the ultra-wealthy Getty family was today banned from driving after being caught behind the wheel of his Range Rover while double the legal drinking limit. Joseph Getty, 26, pleaded guilty to drink-driving and received a 20-month ban as well as a fine of \u00a31,000, which he paid immediately. Westminster Magistrates' Court heard that Getty had 83 microgrammes of alcohol per 100ml of breath when he was stopped while driving through Belgrave Square, near his west London home, two weeks ago. His conviction came just a day after his relative Andrew Getty was found dead at his Hollywood home having suffered a 'traumatic injury to the rectal area'. The court was told that Getty, who is a director of the jewellery company run by his wife Sabine Ghanem, earns \u00a340,000 a year as a financial analyst and was given a \u00a396,000 bonus last year. Prosecutor Kate Shilton told the court Getty was stopped just after 11pm on March 17, and had difficulty walking. 'He was stopped due to the manner of the driving, and officers could smell alcohol on his breath', she said. 'Mr Getty got out of the car and appeared unsteady on his feet. He had to be helped on to the footpath by the officers.' Rebecca Lee, defending, said Getty had made a 'stupid decision' to drive home from an evening celebrating his wedding with friends who lived less than a mile away. 'The friends hadn't been able to come to his wedding, they offered him a glass of wine and he agreed, she said. 'It was at home, a large glass, and maybe the glasses were topped up without close attention being paid to how much exactly was being drunk. 'He just didn't think, it was half a mile to drive home and that's what he did. He wishes he could turn the clock back but he can't.' Socialite: Getty with Princess Beatrice, centre, and his jewellery designer wife Sabine Ghanem, right . The court heard that Getty had previously given up drinking in a bid to lose weight. 'It was pretty unusual on this evening that he had taken alcohol,' Ms Lee said. Magistrate Paul Brookes said: 'Mr Getty, until today you were a man of good character and unfortunately you will lose your good character. 'In your own words it was a very stupid thing to do, but it was more than stupid - it was dangerous.' He was disqualified from driving for 20 months and ordered to pay a fine of \u00a31,000, costs of \u00a385 and a surcharge of \u00a3120. Ms Lee told the court: 'He offers his very sincere apologies for driving when he had taken alcohol. 'He very much regrets doing that and understands it was wrong.

Researchers have isolated bacterial DNA of several strains of the disease from the bodies of mummies found in the crypt of a church in the city of V\u00e1c in Hungary. They found 14 different strains of TB bacteria that had infected eight of the bodies in the tomb and traced them all back to a single source. Mummified remains of 28-year-old Ter\u00e9zia Hausmann (above) found in the 18th century crypt of the Dominican church in V\u00e1c, Hungary, were among those found to have been infected with tuberculosis by the researchers . They say the strains of TB they found all evolved from a single germ that had began infecting people during the late Roman period. Professor Mark Pallen, a geneticist at Warwick University who led the work, said: 'By showing that historical strains can be accurately mapped to contemporary lineages, we have confirmed the genotypic continuity of an infection that has ravaged the heart of Europe since prehistoric times.' Historians have long taught that Native American populations were almost wiped out by diseases such as tuberculosis, brought to the New World by European explorers. But a new theory suggests the arrival of seals and sea lions could in fact be to blame. Scientists believe the marine animals brought the disease to South America where it spread - long before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. While estimates vary, it is thought that 95 per cent of the 20 million people living in the Americas before the Europeans arrived were killed by \u2018new\u2019 diseases carried by explorers. Anthropological geneticists Anne Stone of Arizona State University and Johannes Krause of the University of Tubingen in Germany have studied pre-Columbian Mycobacterial tuberculosis genomes. The team examined TB DNA from 1,000-year-old skeletons found in Peru as well as other samples and compared them to modern genomes. They found a clear relationship to TB lineages in animals - especially seals and sea lions. The study, which is published in the journal Nature Communications, used samples taken from the mummified remains of 26 people who had been buried in a cyrpt of V\u00e1c's Dominican church during the 18th century. Workers attempting to restore the church stumbled on the remains of nearly 200 people in the crypt in 1994. The bodies had become naturally mummified in the exceptionally dry air. The bodies, many of whom had been wealthy Catholics, had been placed in the crypt fully clothed and in coffins between 1731 and 1838. Walled up and forgotten for about 150 years, the coffins were discovered when a construction worker tapped on a wall during renovation work. Part of the wall gave way to reveal coffins decotrated with skulls and stacked from floor to ceiling. The researchers found that eight of the 26 bodies they examined showed signs that they had died of tuberculosis, five of whom had suffered from multiple strains.

On the road trip from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to the Florida swamp and back again, a 1,836 mile flight, Nye will have ample opportunity to take a big whiff of the carbon being emitted from the president's jet as it burns up more than 9,180 gallons of fuel.

In a tweet last night, Nye said he was 'heading down to DC to catch an #EarthDay flight on Air Force One with President Obama. 'We're going to '#ActonClimate,' he wrote. 'That said, the excitement, much like #climatechange, is real,' he added in a follow-up tweet a minute later. The statements were met with puzzled responses. 'Doesn't jet travel leave a big carbon footprint?' user Timothy Grome wrote. 'Hmm, seems ironic. doesn't seem very climate friendly earth day,' Allison B. of Galveston, Texas, said. White House communications director Jen Psaki got some 'cool points' today by posing for a selfie with Nye .

A host of failings left gangs free to rape, traffic and sexually abuse at least 1,400 children in the town between 1997 and 2013, an inquiry by the National Crime Agency (NCA) concluded. The NCA said the police force did not use 'alternative strategies' to protect victims or gather evidence, and failed to work effectively with local licencing and community safety officers. South Yorkshire Police missed 'intelligence and investigative opportunities' to tackle child sex exploitation in Rotherham, pictured, a report has found.

The most high profile resignation was that of South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright, who was the Rotherham councillor overseeing children's services between 2005 and 2010. The NCA review examined three current South Yorkshire Police investigations into child sex exploitation. 'Over the years, intelligence and investigative opportunities in relation to child sexual exploitation have been overlooked by South Yorkshire Police,' it stated. It added that the officers working on Operations Clover, Monroe and Mark are 'conscientious, enthusiastic and focused upon providing good outcomes'. The report acknowledged that the force had begun to make progress in protecting vulnerable children, but set out 48 recommendations of areas that need further improvement. Among them were record keeping, additional investigative opportunities, and engagement with victims. NCA director Trevor Pearce said: 'A review of these three investigations has identified improvements that need to be made at both strategic and operational level. 'Many of the issues identified by the review team have already been addressed by the force or work is in hand to do so. 'South Yorkshire Police has already made a number of arrests in relation to these matters and other offenders who believe that their past actions will never catch up with them should think again.'

Keir Starmer, who ran the Crown Prosecution Service for five years, was in charge when Operation Elveden began its tainted 'witch hunt' into tabloid journalists. Starting with dawn raids on suspects' homes, mass arrests and long periods of bail, it ended in not guilty verdicts \u2013 and will now prompt a fresh examination of the tenure of the most controversial DPP of modern times.

Already a KCB and a QC, in a few weeks' time Sir Keir Starmer is likely to add MP to his lengthy list of titles and be returned for the safe Labour seat of Holborn and St Pancras in north London.

With previous DPPs, it was a largely behind closed doors role. But under Starmer it was far more public. Rather than shunning the limelight, he relished it. Some weeks it even appeared he was holding court with the media more often than Cabinet ministers. All pretence of political impartiality went out the window, and he repeatedly picked fights with the Tories, most notably on human rights and the law allowing homeowners to defend their property against intruders. In one clash in 2009 a BBC interviewer questioned his impartiality, pointing out his political background and role in a 'Socialist Alternatives' magazine. He also angered the Tories when he said plans to scrap the Human Rights Act would 'shame' Britain.

The experiment, filmed for a six-part TV programme, ended with the family feeling extremely grateful for the variety of foods available today. Presenter Giles Coren and food historian Polly Russell serve the family a radical dinner of Mexican spiced cricket tacos, Asian worm stir fry, buffalo worm tart and cricket kebabs. The family also attempt burgers made with a mixture of insect and beef protein, and sample cookies made from insect flour. 'In the future meat supplies might be a problem,' presenter Mr Coren says in the programme. 'Insects have been hailed as a solution to our meat problem; full of protein, low in fat and packed full of nutrients they are already part of the staple diet in parts of Africa and Asia.' The lack of traditional meat proteins can be put down to population expansion, food historian Polly Russell explains. 'As populations grow globally there is a huge pressure on the amount of meat that is produced because as developing countries start getting richer and people start adopting Western-style diets, which tend to consume a lot more meat,' she said. Entomophagy (eating insects) could have a positive impact on the environment and world hunger if crunchy exoskeletons could replace typical meat. Throughout the show, in the 1950s the children had to wait patiently for their father to finish his dinner, knowing his leftovers would be their supper.

They reveal the country's rapid progress in constructing the runway on the contested Fiery Cross Reef which the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan all claim. China's building activity in the Spratly Islands has infuriated neighbouring countries and the United States whose leadership accused the country of bullying others with its 'military muscle'. Images reveal Fiery Cross Reef virtually untouched by man-made structures in March 2014 but by March this year, it had been transformed into an artificial island which could be used for military operations. They follow equally disturbing photographs released earlier this month showing a flotilla of Chinese vessels dredging sand onto another artificially-built island on the nearby Mischief Reef. Construction: Newly released satellite images reveal that China has built a runway (pictured) - which could be used for military operations - in a dispute region in the South China Sea .

Serene: Satellite images from August 2014 (pictured) show Fiery Cross Reef as a virtually untouched and beautiful natural sea-structure . Controversial: Whereas just seven months later in March this year, dredging ships can clearly be seen around the artificial island which has virtually destroyed the reef . The worrying photographs were revealed by security analysts Jane's Defense Weekly who claim building work in the nearby Subu Reef could create space for yet another 3,000m airstrip. And the same report suggested China was also working to extend a runway of that length in the Paracel Islands further north which is seen as a vital shipping route. More than \u00a33.3trillion worth of trade passes through the potentially energy-rich section of the South China Sea every year. The United States' military commander for Asia has said China could eventually deploy radar and missile systems on the outposts it is building in the region, which would give it the power to enforce an exclusion zone. The images showed a paved section of runway 505m by 53m on the northeastern side of the reef which China began turning into an island with extensive dredging last year. China's ambassador to the United States has said it was 'natural' that his country's reclamation work would include military defence facilities. Cui Tiankai said there 'should be no illusion that anyone could... repeatedly violate China's sovereignty without consequences'. Its actions in the South China Sea have been described as 'aggressive' by Senator John McCain, chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee.

It came despite an agent's recommendation in 2010 that the alarm, which was installed in 1993, be replaced because it 'had exceeded its life cycle'. The request was denied for an unknown reason. The oversight - just the latest in a string of blunders by the agency - was revealed in a report by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, which was released on Thursday.

The report also raises concerns about the security at other former presidents' homes, but has redacted their names. Among the concerns, one official reported that safety equipment showed 'signs of impending failure'. In January, the Washington Post reported that the alarm system at Vice President Joe Biden's home was failing so agents had simply switched the system off. They were told that budget constraints meant the repairs would have to wait.

They hope to divert the warm water instead through a network of underground pipes to provide a world-first natural underfloor heating system for the abbey. Church leaders believe the plans would provide a unique source of green energy for the abbey and help the 10th century building reconnect with the city's Roman roots. Plans show how Bath Abbey will use water from the city's ancient springs, which heat water used in its Roan Baths. Waste water currently filters out to the River Avon but could be put to use under the new scheme . An artist's impression of plans for Bath Abbey shows how the ground will be excavated to create the heating system, new work space and song school . Today, excavation work is taking place on Kingston Parade outside the Visitor\u2019s Information Centre to determine the feasibility of installing the system. Each day, a quarter of a million gallons of hot water flow through the Roman Baths from the thermal spring located at the heart of the site. A large quantity of this hot water eventually ends up in the nearby River Avon \u2013 passing through the Great Roman Drain. The idea is, that it this waste water was harnessed correctly and converted, it could produce 1.5 megawatts of continuous energy \u2013 enough to heat Bath Abbey and the world-famous Roman Baths and Pump Room complex. Engineers are currently digging 13 ft (4 metres) below the ground to work out what lies in the space and if it could be suitable to house a thermal heat exchanger, which transfers heat from one medium to another. A spokesman for the project told MailOnline that the investigations are in their infancy, but it appears that water levels may be too low to use in the Great Roman Drain area, but that energy could be harnessed in the Georgian part of the drain. A small scale trial is also underway to test how the heat can warm up different types of stone floors", "summary": "Roman drains with warm spring water could be used for eco-heating . 850,000 litres of waste spring water filters to Avon each day at present .

A mentally ill father-of-three who died in police custody was handcuffed for six hours, wet himself after being denied access to a toilet, and was repeatedly punched by officers, it was claimed today. Kingsley Burrell, 29, was taken into custody on March 27 2011 after calling police to say he was being threatened with a gun while out shopping in the centre of Birmingham, a court has heard. However, when CCTV showed that in fact nobody had approached him, he was sectioned under the Mental Health Act, and died four days later at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QE). An inquest into his death at Birmingham Coroner's Court heard that he was arrested in the Haymer corner shop in Winson Green while he was going swimming with his son, four, and niece. Trainee security guard Mr Burrell called police himself, saying two men had threatened to shoot him, but when they arrived he was handcuffed and taken to the QE hospital.

They do this, of course, with the help of numerous superpowers - including Iron Man\u2019s suit, super-healing abilities and Captain America\u2019s indestructible shield. But just how scientifically sound are some of these powers, and do any of them hold up to the laws of physics and chemistry as we know them? Scroll down for video . The American Chemical Society in Washington explained the science behind the Avengers in a video. It looks at the composition of Iron Man's suit - said to be a gold-titanium alloy in one of the movies - and Captain America's shield. The video also explains the science behind super-healing abilities . In a video for Reactions, the American Chemical Society took a look at the science of Marvel's Avengers. It begins looking at Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man when he dons his iron suit of armour. His original suit, made only of iron, would have weighed around 70kg (150lbs) according to the ACS - not very comfortable or easy to move around in. He later upgrades it to a gold-titanium alloy, but that would actually make things worse explained the video. \u2018That suit would probably weigh around 160kg (350lbs), which might work for the Hulk but not for Tony Stark,\u2019 said the narrator. However, Dr Raychelle Burks continued that it is later made of a nickel-titanium alloy called nitinol. This is \u2018strong but light, and can be reformed after taking damage,\u2019 she said. \u2018There may also be some graphite reinforced with carbon fibre, which can take a lot of heat - useful if Iron Man doesn\u2019t want to singe his feet using those rocket boots.\u2019 Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man when he dons his iron suit of armour and played by Robert Downey Jnr (pictured), made his original suit out of iron. He later upgrades it to a gold-titanium alloy, but according to the ACS that would be heavy and uncomfortable - perhaps better for the Hulk than Iron Man himself . None of this would work, though, without Stark\u2019s own portable nuclear power station - the Arc Reactor. In Iron Man 2 this uses palladium - but we soon learn this is poisoning and killing the character. So instead, he creates a new element - and Dr Burks said this might not be as far-fetched as it seems. He uses his own particle accelerator to smash the nuclei of atoms together and make a new type of atom, which is not entirely dissimilar to the experiments taking place at real-life accelerators such as Cern. \u2018Scientists have made 20 synthetic elements this way, so it\u2019s not unbelievable that Stark would have made new elements to power his suit,\u2019 said Dr Burks. The main skeleton of Raytheon;s exoskeleton, shown, is made from high-strength aluminium and steel, and weighs about 95kg (209lb) Iron Man\u2019s superpowers don\u2019t stem from a radioactive spider bite or exposure to gamma rays;", "summary": "Washington's American Chemical Society video explains the Avengers .

Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao were little more than fresh legs here on Sunday, and any success Van Gaal has enjoyed in his first season at Old Trafford needs to be measured against the difficulties two phenomenally talented players have endured. But it also a measure of the qualities the Dutchman possesses that players with only a fraction of their ability are not just keeping them out of the side, but are performing as well as this. Angel di Maria and Radamel Falcao were left on the bench by Louis van Gaal on Sunday . Argentine \u00a360m man Di Maria came on for Juan Mata in the 81st minute at Old Trafford . Falcao replaced Belgian Marouane Fellaini with seven minutes to play in the win over Manchester City . A sixth successive Premier League victory that cements United in third place owes much to the revival of Ashley Young, Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata and the progress being made by Chris Smalling and Phil Jones.

In Young, Fellaini and Mata the transformation has been most startling, however, and credit has to go to Van Gaal for the way he has managed three players who were so central to the downfall of Moyes 12 months ago. In fairness to Fellaini, and indeed Moyes, the Belgian just needed time to make the transition from Everton to United. In fairness to Mata, he probably needed time, too, after being ejected from Chelsea by Jose Mourinho. Ashley Young celebrates after bringing Manchester United level having earlier trailed .

Even Van Gaal\u2019s critics recognise the skills that also made him a fine schoolteacher when he was supplementing his income as a poorly paid player in Holland with a career in education. He is clearly very good at restoring confidence and inspiring an individual, with Young finally looking like the player Martin O\u2019Neill used to admire so much. Young, one of five Englishmen in United\u2019s outfield 10, was the outstanding player in this hugely entertaining contest, scoring the equaliser that quickly cancelled out Sergio Aguero\u2019s opener, as well as providing the assists for Fellaini and Smalling, but more to the point, responding most effectively to what, presumably, were his manager\u2019s instructions.

Scene: A rescue chopper prepares to land, evacuating climbers from higher camps to Everest Base Camp, Nepal. New radar images have shown that Mount Everest shrank one inch following the Nepal earthquake this week . These are the first radar images to reveal the destruction caused by the 7-magnitude earthquake that killed 5,000 people and affected millions more. 'There's a peak of slip just to the northeast of Kathmandu,' Professor Tim Wright from the Natural Environment Research Council told the BBC. He explained that what scientists count are the coloured 'fringes' in the interferogram, of which there are about 34 from this quake. This translates to more than 3.2ft (1 metre) of uplift. To the north of Kathmandu, the interferogram suggests that the ground receded, and it also shows how a fault ruptured east from the epicentre, but did not break the surface.

It may not turn into a bloodthirsty beast in the moonlight, but a peculiar plant does rely on the lunar cycle to survive. Called Ephedra foeminea, the plant waits for the full moon to 'bloom' and is the only plant species so far that\u2019s known to behave in this way. At night, the non-flowering relative of conifers secretes tiny droplets of sugary fluid to attract pollinating insects. They ooze from the plant\u2019s female organs where seeds are produced. When a nocturnal butterfly or insect lands on one of the tasty transparent orbs at night, the pollen it\u2019s carrying is used to fertilise the seed. Researchers from Stockholm University noticed the droplets at the same time of the year having conducted four years of research, New Scientist reported. When they went to study the plants in Macedonia, Greece and Dalmatia in Croatia in 2013, they were baffled as to why the orbs were not there, but after abandoning their field work to get some dinner, noticed that there was no moon this time. They checked data to see whether the creation of the globules coincided with the full moon and were shocked to find they did. Researcher Catarina Rydin said: \u2018It all fitted, and all we had to do was wait for 2014's full moon in July to see if that was what the plants were waiting for, and it absolutely was.\u2019 The study, published in Biology Letters, says: \u2018The exact timing of pollination in E. foeminea varied considerably from year to year, but was correlated with the full moon of July.\u2019 The study, published in Biology Letters, says: \u2018The exact timing of pollination in E. foeminea varied considerably from year to year, but was correlated with the full moon of July.\u2019 A stock image showing the phases of the moon is pictured .

Congratulations, Harry. How would you describe your style of play at Leicester? Hold up play, roll the defender. And I've got a good burst of acceleration! Who do you look up to in the first team? Jeff (Schlupp). I grew up with Jeff so to see him come through the youth ranks, he's definitely my role model. Do you train with them often? I do, but not as much as I'd like to. Your record at Leicester reads one game, one goal. How did that come about? I was a first year and I scored 20 goals that season. They had nothing to play for [against Leeds] so they chucked me up there, and I came on and scored! How often do you speak to Nigel Pearson? Not too much this season, he's a busy guy! But when he has a chance to come talk to me, he comes and talks to me. Is your goal to make it at Leicester next season, or go out on loan? I'm Leicester born and bred and my goal is to make the first team, that's all I've ever wanted to do, it's not about going anywhere else to me. I'd love for us to stay in the Premier League, and I believe I can handle it. Panayiotou hopes to make Leicester City's first team in the Premier League and has grown up nearby . How do you relax away from football? Chill with my friends, I'm around some really good people. On to that international hat-trick... how did you get to play for St Kitts? My mum and grandma are from St Kitts, and my grandma passed away when I was younger - so making the choice to play for them came from the heart. What was the reaction when you came back? Everyone's jealous when I go away (laughs), but they were still really happy. U21 manager Steve [Beaglehole] couldn't stop looking at me for a week! Where did you play, and what was it like? Turks and Caicos. It was really hot! When you go to the Caribbean, you either have to train at 7am or at night time.

But it seems fans need not worry as there will soon be a restaurant inspired by the successful show, opened by ABBA star Bjorn Ulvaeus. The Mamma Mia inspired eatery will open its doors a block away from the ABBA museum in Stockholm. Mamma Mia here we go again! Fans of the long-running Broadway show need not worry as a new inspired restaurant is opening in Sweden . Bjorn Ulvaeus, of Swedish pop group ABBA, has unveiled his new musical project, a Mamma Mia inspired restaurant performance, set to open in January 2016 . Bjorn aims to transport the party atmosphere from theatre aisles to inside a Greek taverna. The venue is scheduled to open in January 2016, and is a part restaurant, part stage show and part role play, focusing on audience interaction. Of course audiences will be able to sing and dance to the Swedish sensations' 1970s tunes, to their hearts' content. 'They will be part of a little story in real time, which will be played out during the evening,' said 69-year-old Bjorn. The model reveals there will be olive trees, fountains and scents of Mediterranean. The restaurant is situated near the ABBA-museum in central Stockholm . The musical will include all the ABBA classics from the show, and a couple of ones not featured . The Swedish singer sent fans into a frenzy after revealing on a new website he was creating a 'new entertainment experiment' Fans will recognise the Greek-island setting, but will experience a slightly different story which will change night to night depending how the audience react. The play focuses on the Greek taverna called Nicos' Taverna owned by a man in his 50s and his slightly younger Swedish wife. If the concept proves to be a success Ulvaeus didn't rule out transferring it to other countries. 'I see actually no reason why not,' he said. 'So maybe if we find a good place in London, Hamburg or wherever, there will be a Nicos' Taverna as well.' Bjorn will transform a restaurant to a Greek tavern for guests, staff, musicians and artists. He hopes to create a party in an environment like the one from the island of Skopelos, where the movie Mamma Mia was filmed . Worldwide fans will be keen to see if this follows in the footsteps of the beloved show, which has grossed more than $600 million and been seen by over seven million people. The show opened two years after it first hit the stage in London in 1999, and has since been made into a blockbuster film starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Piers Brosnan and Colin Firth, to name a few.

As 14million working households \u2013 more than nine in ten \u2013 are given an average boost of \u00a3200 a year to their incomes, the Prime Minister will set out the Conservative case for people keeping more of their own money \u2013 because they \u2018know best\u2019 how it should be spent.

Middle income households earning around \u00a323,000 a year will benefit the most, and the top ten per cent of earners the least. Today will also see the abolition of the old pensions annuities, allowing retirement money to be accessed like a current account. Mr Cameron will say the changes make Britain a \u2018better and fairer place to live\u2019, adding that low taxes \u2018go to the heart of what I believe as a Conservative. \u2018For me, there\u2019s the economic case: That, in a competitive world, we need to incentivise work by making it pay. \u2018There\u2019s the progressive case: That the best way to help with living standards is to let people keep more of the money they earn. \u2018But above all, there is the moral case: That it is wrong \u2013 frankly immoral \u2013 for Government to spend money like it grows on trees.\u2019 He will also pledge to eliminate the deficit \u2018without reaching into working people\u2019s pockets like Labour would\u2019.

The band begin their UK tour tomorrow . A source close to the band said: 'They are not appealing the decision, they are dealing directly with HMRC.' The delay has been criticised by The Taxpayers' Alliance, with pressure mounting further by the fact that TV sports presenter Gabby Logan has already fulfilled her promise to pay back all the money she owed from the 'tax shelter' scheme, according to the Sunday Mirror. Andy Silvester, campaign director, said: 'Everyone should play by the rules, and that means paying back on time if HMRC say so. 'However, the real moral of this story is that we desperately need to simplify the tax code to get rid of the loopholes that those with clever accountants can drive a Take That tour bus through. 'Politicians make an awful lot of noise about tax evasion and avoidance but are addressing the symptom rather than the cause.' The Take That trio have not appealed against last May's tax tribunal ruling that the Icebreaker scheme they paid millions of pounds into was created as a way of exploiting legal loopholes.

+{"article": "A Hollywood-inspired experiment to help dementia patients by waking them up with video recordings from loved ones is taking place in New York. The hope is that the videos shown to residents of a care home in the city will ease their confusion, forgetfulness and agitation. The idea is borrowed from the 2004 Adam Sandler film 50 First Dates, in which Drew Barrymore's character suffers a brain injury and memory loss each day. A suitor, played by Sandler, uses videos to remind her of him. Charlotte Dell, director of social services at Hebrew Home in Riverdale, said the film was 'fluff', but added it inspired her to think about how the idea could help residents. The film 50 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore has inspired a new dementia experiment taking place at a care home in Riverdale, New York . 'We're looking to see if we can set a positive tone for the day,' without using drugs, she said. 'What better way to start the day than to see the face and hear the voice of someone you love wishing you a wonderful morning?' As in the film, each day a new video is shown to residents. Relatives are encouraged to take part to say good morning, use memory-triggering personal anecdotes and remind their loved ones that care home staff will be helping them get dressed and ready for the day. People suffering Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia often fell confused and anxious in the morning. The programme is designed to help those who are in the early to moderate stages of dementia, those who are still likely to recognise the people in the video and understand what they are saying. Ms Dell said: 'Do we know for sure that they know, this is my daughter, this is my son? No. 'But they recognise them as somebody they care about and love.' The Hebrew Home is planning to evaluate the programme next month, with the aim of expanding it to several hundred residents in its memory-care 'neighbourhoods'. Ms Dell said anecdotal evidence so far from staff at the home is 'very positive'. Robert Abrams, a geriatric psychiatrist at New York Presbyterian Hospital said the pilot is 'both innovative and thoughtful'. 'You've got a group of people with dementia who don't really grasp the nature and purpose of their surroundings or the circumstances that compelled them to be there,' he said.

Tory Cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith came under fire today after suggesting that zero-hours contracts should be re-named 'flexible hours' In a TV interview today Mr Duncan Smith said that zero-hours contracts were 'wrongly named'. He told the BBC: 'It should be flexible hours contracts, but only 2 per cent of the total workforce have those and they are mostly people like carers, who can't give direct time, and young people like students, so for them there is a reason for those.' Aides to the minister stressed that job satisfaction and work-life balance for those on zero-hours contracts were similar to other workers. Some 60 per cent of people on zero-hours contracts do not want more hours, they said. Labour and trade union leaders criticised the comments, saying it showed the minister was 'out of touch'. Shadow business Secretary Chuka Umunna told MailOnline: 'Iain Duncan Smith's 'Marie Antoinette' moment today has revealed just how out of touch the Tories are about the lives of working people. 'Instead of acknowledging the worrying growth of zero-hours contracts in our economy, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions today chose to defend them \u2013 arguing this morning that we should simply rename them as flexible hours contracts.

Labour has pledged to ban exploitative zero-hours contracts, while unions have been pressing for them to be scrapped altogether. Under the controversial contracts, workers are often told at the end of the week how many hours they can work the following week.

Tether Unlimited has revealed a system of robo spiders than can construct solar panels, trusses and other parts of spacecraft in orbit. The Nasa-back firm says it could dramatically reduce the cost of building spacecraft by allowing the final construction to take place in orbit. Scroll down for video . The system uses arachnid-like robots to construct large objects in orbit around the Earth by 'spinning' building material into shape. SpiderFab uses arachnid-like droids to construct large objects in orbit. SpiderFab could cut construction costs by only launching raw materials such as carbon fibre into orbit. The robots can then piece together the materials while in orbit, finishing off the spacecraft. The futuristic new system \u2013 dubbed SpiderFab \u2013 is being developed by a company called Tethers Unlimited. The system uses arachnid-like robots to construct large objects in orbit around the Earth or further into the Solar System. 'This process will enable space systems to be launched in a compact and durable 'embryonic' state,' the firm says. 'Once on orbit, these systems will use techniques evolved from emerging additive manufacturing and automated assembly technologies to fabricate and integrate components such as antennas, shrouds, booms, concentrators, and optics. 'The primary benefit of this on-orbit fabrication capability will be order-of-magnitude improvements in packing efficiency and system mass, which will enable NASA to use small, low-cost launch vehicles to deploy systems dramatically larger than possible with current state-of-the-art technologies. 'The net payoff will be to enable NASA to acquire and distribute a variety of forms of data at higher resolution, higher bandwidth, higher signal-to-noise, and lower life-cycle cost.' 'Our really long-term objective for all of this work is to eventually enable the use of in-situ resources to construct the infrastructure in space needed to support humanity's expansion throughout the solar system,' Dr. Robert Hoyt claimed last month during a presentation with NASA's Future In-Space Operations (FISO) working group. Under a Nasa contract, the firm is currently implementing the first step in the SpiderFab architecture: a machine that uses 3D printing techniques and robotic assembly to fabricate long, high-performance truss structures. He says the current way we build spacecraft is flawed. 'It's a very expensive and time-consuming process, and also, the size of systems is somewhat limited by the size of the deployables that are possible to fold up and fit within a launch shroud,' he said. Tethers Unlimited hopes to launch its first working construction robot into space within the next couple of years. 'In a perfect world \u2014 if funding flowed and the contracting process didn't drag on forever \u2014 we think we could get to be able to build very large support structures for antennas and solar arrays, and those sorts of components, in the early 2020s,' Dr. Hoyt said.

It must have seemed to Trott that he would never again bat for England when he suffered that brutal dismantling at the hands of Mitchell Johnson during England\u2019s ill-fated last Ashes tour almost 18 months ago. Yet here he was, recovered from the mental condition that forced his departure from Australia and now certain of a new role opening the batting in the first Test in Antigua next week. It is quite a comeback. Jonathan Trott and Alastair Cook combine impressively as England produce dominant display . Cook plays behind square as wicketkeeper Jaison Peters looks on in Basseterre, St Kitts . If Trott\u2019s return with 72 was the most pleasing aspect of a dominant day for England then an unbeaten 95 for captain Alastair Cook was almost as important. The pair came together here at the top of the order yesterday for the first time since a brief experiment in Bangladesh five years ago in what was a low-key return to work after the embarrassment of England\u2019s first round World Cup exit. Neither Cook nor Trott could be blamed for that nor for the careful way they went about their batting in this two-day practice match against a St Kitts Invitational XI that would struggle to defeat a decent English club side. Stuart Broad bowls in the Carribean sun as England take on a St Kitts and Nevis Invitational XI . Cook and teammate Jonathan Trott talk in between overs during the St Kitts and Nevis Invitational XI game . Such was the scale of England\u2019s World Cup embarrassment that they find themselves very much on trial again now even though they ended last year\u2019s Test summer with three successive wins against India. The failure of Sam Robson to convince alongside Cook has opened the door for the return of Trott ahead of Adam Lyth and he made the most of his chance in a stand of 158 with his captain made in the most comfortable of circumstances. England had barely broken sweat in bowling St Kitts out for 59, another returnee in Ben Stokes taking three wickets in five balls, before Cook and Trott overwhelmed a local side who had bizarrely warmed up in Inter Milan shirts. Perhaps they are better at football than cricket because there was little to concern two players with much to prove for different reasons in Cook and Trott. The captain is back after being demoted from one-day office and looked the more fluent, despatching anything short and moving on to his 50 off 95 balls to follow the three half-centuries he has scored in his last four Test innings. Trott was the only casualty of the day for England and he had to be almost dragged from the crease when he was eventually caught at short leg. \u2018It\u2019s almost like he\u2019s never been away,\u2019", "summary": "Jonathan Trott hit an impressive 72 on England return in the Carribean .

In October 2014, the White House acknowledged that there had been suspicious activity on its unclassified network serving the executive office, prompting system shutdowns and security upgrades.

He has waived extradition in that case. Until his indictment Wednesday, Durst had been arrested but not formally charged in connection with the .38-caliber revolver authorities say was found in his hotel room. According to court testimony, an FBI agent recognized Durst in a New Orleans hotel March 14 and escorted him to his hotel room. Durst was arrested early March 15 on the Los Angeles warrant and arrested separately on the weapons charges the next day. It was the day before the final HBO episode aired of The Jinx: The Life And Deaths Of Robert Durst. A hearing in the New Orleans case had been scheduled for Thursday before a magistrate. Durst's attorneys maintain that the arrest on weapons charges was illegal, partly because FBI agents searched Durst's hotel room without a search warrant and before his arrest.

The Marshall County Board voted last week to send a bill for $76,000 to the Peoria Republican who resigned last month after questions about his extravagant government-funded spending. The letter seeks a check or a promise from Schock that he will pay for this summer's special and general election costs. County officials estimate each will run about $38,000. Former Illinois Congressional representative Aaron Schock, 33, is facing calls to pay for the special election to replace him after resigning from the House last month amid an expenses scandal . The four-term Congressman (left) attracted scrutiny for his lavish lifestyle, including many selfies with celebrities such as Ariana Grande (right), after a Downton Abbey-style renovation to his Washington office . A Schock spokesman did not respond to an emailed request from The Associated Press seeking comment to the board's letter. His campaign fund balance is $3.3 million, The Journal-Star reported. 'Schock has more money than the county has in its reserves,' Marshall County State's Attorney Paul Bauer said. Once seen as a media-savvy rising star in the Republican Party, Schock, 33, made appearances on Top Chef, the Colbert Report and the cover of Men's Health magazine. However, the four-term Congressman's celebrity lifestyle attracted examination of his spending habits. Earlier this year it was discovered that his office had received a $40,000 renovation funded by the taxpayer to make it look like the Edwardian Era homes on Downton Abbey. It has a crystal chandeliers and pheasant feathers in addition to its elaborately decorated furniture and bright red walls. The Republican had been viewed as a rising star in his party after a slate of media appearances including the cover of Men's Health . The extravagance of Schock's Washington office, which included pheasant feathers and a crystal chandelier, was what first drew attention to his spending . The Illinois representative originally replied to the reports by saying 'haters gonna hate'. But further investigations revealed that he took a private jet to watch an NFL game in Chicago and had spent $10,000 taking a group including his interns to a Katy Perry concert. Schock also failed to report expenditures on trips abroad, required by Congressional rules. Though he hired a high powered defense and public relations team, Schock resigned after a report from POLITICO about misrepresentations of the mileage on his publicly-funded car. He has repaid the government for his office and mileage, and his resignation likely helped him avoid an ethics inquiry into his luxury lifestyle. Shock's district now faces the task of putting together a quick election to put a representative back in Washington.

Taxpayers have footed a \u00a3135,000 bill to move 50 protected water voles - at a cost of \u00a32,500 per animal - to allow dredging of the Somerset Levels. The bill for moving the creatures is nearly six times the original estimate, it was revealed today. In January and February 2014 residents on the Levels were forced to abandon their homes after record rainfall saw rivers burst their banks following years of insufficient dredging. More than 600 homes and 17,000 acres of farmland were inundated with quickly rising waters and entire villages were cut off in the wettest January since records began in 1766. But the Environment Agency says it has a legal duty under EU-backed regulations to protect the water voles as an endangered species. The \u00a3135,000 was spent trapping and moving 55 of the six-inch-long furry creatures from their bankside burrows on the Somerset Levels ahead of dredging work. In February, when the scheme was first revealed it was estimated it would cost \u00a324,000 to put the tiny voles into 'winter storage'. But now the Environment Agency has admitted that another \u00a386,000 had to be spent on a 'wildlife survey'. Previously the agency had claimed the wildlife survey was not part of the cost of relocating the voles. And when other costs are factored in, the total bill came to \u00a3135,000. Scroll down for video . The survey involved setting up traps along the river banks and checking them over a period of several months - the cost of which was not previously disclosed. Now some Somerset Levels residents - while anxious to have rivers dredged to avoid the devastating floods from two winters ago - think the scheme is an unnecessary waste of public money. They say the people who approved the plan are living in Kenneth Grahame's book for children, The Wind in the Willows, featuring Ratty - a water vole - Mole, Badger and Mister Toad. Farmer James Winslade believes the voles would have moved themselves elsewhere when the dredgers began work and argues they did not need to be captured and moved 100 miles to a new home.

He said dredging often took place across the Levels before the Environment Agency took over, and that in the past it had never appeared to affect the vole population. 'They're not stupid, they'll feel the vibration of the dredgers and move - it's not like they haven't any other habitat to move on to,' he said. 'The river bank adjoins fields so they can move from the river banks to the fields, and move back once the dredgers have gone.'

Little Rosannah Gundry was diagnosed with stage three neuroblastoma cancer in December last year, after a specialist at Sydney's Westmead Children's Hospital discovered the football-sized tumour, which weighs more than half her body weight, growing around her vital organs and pressing against her spine. Rosannah, from Baradine in north western New South Wales, had been misdiagnosed with scoliosis when she was three months old, but her aunt, Jessica Searle, said that Rosannah's mother knew something more was wrong when the toddler's stomach began to swell. Little Rosannah Gundry was diagnosed with stage three neuroblastoma cancer in December last year . 'Her mother Jamielee kept saying to the doctor that it wasn't scoliosis. She was pale and not eating, and vomiting up her food, so she kept looking for a second opinion,' Ms Searle, 25, told Daily Mail Australia. In December last year, twelve months after Rosannah was originally diagnosed with scoliosis, the family was given the devastating news that she had stage three neuroblastoma cancer. 'I just don't think her parents had prepared themselves for the news. Even when she was having tests, I don't think they let themselves believe it,' Ms Searle said. The tumour had wrapped itself around her organs and up her spine to near her heart, and was releasing huge amounts of adrenaline, which meant that the toddler needed to be put on heart medication to balance her racing heartbeat of 200 beats per minute. Rosannah was admitted to hospital immediately, and began chemotherapy treatment on the huge tumour, in the hope that it would shrink to a size which could be operated on.

It is OK batting the way England did if they had got through to lunch on 60 without loss, but they will be exposed against better teams than West Indies, like Australia, if they crash to 34 for three in the first session as they did here.

Last night Instagram rolled out its latest update that lets users create and search for hashtags using emoji. But it appears not all emoji hashtags are created equal. When people try to search for the aubergine, or eggplant, emoji using a hashtag on the app, no posts appear - even though there are posts that have been tagged with it. And it is believe to be because the emoji is commonly used to represent male genitalia and may be attached to images containing nudity. The anomaly was discovered by Katie Notopoulos from Buzzfeed. Emoji hashtags were released as part of Instagram's latest app update, which also added three new filters and a redesigned Love button. Hashtags can now be used with single emoji, multiple emoji or can be combined with text in post, comments, captions and when using the Explore tab. Instagram told MailOnline it is not commenting on the eggplant anomaly. But, given that the emoji could potentially be tagged onto images that contain nudity, it is likely the app is restricting its use under its community guidelines. It also appears the hashtag itself isn't banned across the app, instead it just can't be searched for. Instagram's guidelines explain: 'We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons we don\u2019t allow nudity on Instagram. 'This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. 'It also includes some photos of female nipples, but photos of post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding are allowed. Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too.' Ms Notopoulos has even created a hashtag called #freetheeggplant. Despite issuing an apparent ban on searching for the aubergine, searches for emojis such as the gun (left) and a syringe (right) are allowed. Instagram doesn't ban pictures of guns, although it doesn't allow the sale of guns. In terms of the needle, many images posted using this hashtag include tattoos and giving blood .

Under current EU regulations, producers of alcoholic drinks are not obliged to reveal the nutritional value of their products on the label. According to The Times, winemakers fear a fall in sales if consumers realise that 'a bottle of red wine has about the same amount of calories as half a packet of digestive biscuits'.

With Chelsea's last seven league victories all coming by a single goal margin, it would be hard to argue Mourinho is anything but sincere. He continued: 'We were very well prepared for this game. We were able to make some of their important players disappear.' Indeed, Mourinho's bold decision to play Kurt Zouma in an enforcing midfield role really paid off to stifle United's attack. Chelsea's win over the Red Devils sees them extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 10 points. Mourinho's men could wrap up the title as early as April 29, should they win their next two games against Arsenal and Leicester City. Chelsea have not won the Premier League since 2010 under former boss Carlo Ancelotti, but given their lead at the top and with only six games left to go, it would take a brave man to bet against them missing out this term.

David Cameron this afternoon hit back at growing criticism over his election campaign \u2013 vowing to carry on warning about Labour's threat to the economy . He told supporters in Somerset: 'If you want political excitement. Go to Greece. If you want more showbiz in this election. Go to Hollywood.

Scientists have shown that using deep brain stimulation (DBS), a technique already used to treat Parkinson's disease, can boost memory by causing new brain cells to be formed. A 'pacemaker' fitted with electrodes is inserted into the brain through holes drilled in the skull. Deep brain stimulation is already used to treat Parkinson's, but now researchers now believe it could be used to improve brain function and ward off diseases such as dementia (file image) Experiments on rats found the therapy improved their powers of recall, and it is hoped the same will apply to humans. The device sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain and has also been shown to provide benefits for a range of conditions including chronic pain, major depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. The device was implanted into middle aged rats, sending out minute electrical impulses, and the study found the animals performed better in memory tests compared to those who had not been stimulated, even after 24 hours. Professor Ajai Vyas, of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, said: 'Extensive studies have shown that rats' brains and memory systems are very similar to humans. 'The electrodes are harmless to the rats, as they go on to live normally and fulfil their regular adult lifespan of around 22 months.' DBS is a surgical procedure that has become an established NHS treatment for Parkinson's sufferers whose condition does not respond to drugs. Tests on lab mice showed improved memory within just 24 hours, while the rodents' life-spans were unaffected (file image) Now the new research, published in the journal eLife, has discovered it could also be used to enhance the growth of brain cells which relieves the harmful effects of dementia related conditions and improves short and long term memory. It found new brain cells, or neurons, can be formed by stimulating the front part of the brain known as the prefrontal cortex which is involved in memory retention using minute amounts of electricity. The increase in brain cells reduces anxiety and depression, promotes improved learning, and boosts overall memory formation and retention. Prof Vyas said: 'The findings from the research clearly show the potential of enhancing the growth of brain cells using deep brain stimulation. 'Around 60 per cent of patients do not respond to regular anti depressant treatments and our research opens new doors for more effective treatment options.' Prof Lim Lee Wei, of Sunway University, Malaysia, who worked on the project while he was at Nanyang Technological University, said DBS brings multiple benefits. He said: 'No negative effects have been reported in such prefrontal cortex stimulation in humans and studies have shown that stimulation also produces anti depression effects and reduces anxiety.

The price of failure, the judge suggested, could be lifelong pain for the parents or even, if the children\u2019s education or health was at stake, their removal by social workers to grow up in state care. Sir James, who is President of the Family Division, gave his advice in a case in which two teenage girls have refused to see their father for more than six years.

An 11-year-old boy told he would never walk has taken his first steps unaided thanks to pioneering treatment in the US. Luca Railton was born with bones missing from his legs, due to the rare condition bilateral tibial hemimelia. Doctors said the condition - which affects just one in three million people - meant he would to have his right leg amputated or fused straight. But his loved ones refused to accept these grim prospects, which would have left Luca severely disabled for life. Instead, they began desperately trying to find other suitable treatments, and eventually found an American surgeon called Dr Dror Paley, who assured Luca's parents his leg could be saved. Through tireless fundraising, Mr and Mrs Railton managed to raise \u00a3135,000 to take their son to the US for surgery. He underwent a series of operations \u2013 including one to break his right leg and start lengthening his femur (thigh bone). Now, Luca is walking unaided \u2013 without the stints he formerly needed - and can even play cricket and tennis. His mother, Teresa, 43, said: 'From the moment he was born our goal in life has been for him to keep his legs. 'We knew we would do everything in our power for him. Before we went to America, Luca was getting worse. 'He was in pain and reliant on his crutches. It was awful to see. 'We knew we had to raise \u00a3135,000 and our friends have been brilliant. We have had amazing donations. But if we hadn't our plan B was to re-mortgage the house.' Luca was born with no shin bone (tibia) and no knee in his right leg, and only a partial shin bone in his left leg. For the first year of his life, every doctor said that his leg would eventually be amputated. But his family discovered a German surgeon called Professor Weber who had been working on Luca's rare problem, and he agreed to come to England to perform a pioneering 10 hour operation on Luca's legs. The surgery was hugely successful and for the next few years, Luca was able to walk on his own and play with other children. Throughout his childhood years, Luca underwent over 60 hours of surgery as doctors tried to rebuild his legs over and over again as he has grew. But in February last year, when Luca was 10, NHS doctors told his parents there was nothing more they could do for him, and recommended he have his leg amputated, or fused straight. But his family refused to give up and combed the medical literature for alternatives, eventually coming across Dr Dror Paley, an orthopaedic surgeon in Florida. He claims to be the most experienced limb lengthening and deformity correction surgeon in the United States as well as internationally.

In a country where cows dominate the rural landscape, the discovery in an Austrian cellar shocked scientists. The researchers described it as a 'sunken ship in the desert'. Archaeologists have uncovered the complete skeleton of an 'alien' 17th-century camel that was likely used in the second Ottoman-Habsburg war. They believe the camel - the first intact camel skeleton found in central Europe - may have been left in the town of Tulln for trading after the siege of Vienna in 1683 . Genetic analysis of the beast show that it was a Bactrian-dromedary hybrid \u2013 a breed popular in the Ottoman army at the time. 'The partly excavated skeleton was at first suspected to be a large horse or cattle,' said Alfred Galik, a researcher at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna. 'But one look at the cervical vertebrae, the lower jaw and the metacarpal bones immediately revealed that this was a camel.' The camel was male, around seven years old and most likely castrated.

In Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix, Renault suffered two blown engines as first Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat was forced out of the race, followed late on by Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen. It was yet further embarrassment for Renault who are under pressure to perform after Red Bull's billionaire benefactor Mateschitz threatened to pull out of Formula One unless the French manufacturer raised their game. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has been critical of Renault this season . The fact Renault powered Red Bull to four consecutive drivers' and constructors' championships from 2010-2013 is a thing of the past. Instead, the focus is now on their problems, leading to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner hauling in Abiteboul to explain the woes in a post-race media debrief normally solely reserved for him. Asked about Mateschitz's threat, Abiteboul said: 'I understand his position and frustration, and to a certain degree I'm sure Renault's board could share the same frustration. 'We understand we have issues. Those issues are supposed to be addressed by some of the many things going on at Renault Sport.

There is a plan, and we need to understand if that plan is commensurate with the issues we've seen on track. 'This plan was more focused on power because we saw that was where we were missing.

The controversial decision will add to calls for the use of video replays as it was still not fully clear what happened, even after several repeats of the incident in slow motion. The spot kick was awarded after Juve's Alvaro Morata got clear of Monaco's Portuguese defender Ricardo Carvalho as the striker chased a long ball forward from Andrea Pirlo.

'It's a huge injustice, there was no penalty,' Jardim told reporters. 'We put Juventus in difficulties, but the result was based on a non-existent situation in an evenly-balanced match. 'The result was created by an incorrect decision by the team (of officials) that referees,' he added. 'This result is not a fair reflection of what happened on the field.'

'Ask Marwood,' he would spit out when asked about the club's transfer policy, referring to the club's then-football administrator Brian Marwood who was responsible at the time for buying players.

Mancini was sacked in 2013 and nearly two years on, Marwood has a new role at the academy with a Spaniard, Txiki Begiristain, in his old job with the title director of football.

But Ukip has insisted St George would have been welcomed to Britain because of his skills as a dragon slayer. Today on St George's Day, the party announced that it would make it a Bank Holiday in England. But at the policy launch, economic spokesman Patrick O'Flynn faced questions on whether St George would have been welcomed by a 3rd-century Ukip. In its election manifesto the party has said it would have a five year moratorium on unskilled migrants moving to the country. Mr O'Flynn said: 'Well, I guess dragon-slaying is a skill but whether it is one that's in short supply for the needs of the British economy, we will leave to our migration commission. 'Whenever the issue of St George's Day comes up - and I can predict this on Twitter today - there will be many left-centre people who will tweet the fact that St George was from what's today known as Turkey as if that is the start, finish of conversation and that makes St George's Day irrelevant or illegitimate or ridiculous. 'I completely disagree ... I'm not particularly hung up on where St George came from. I'm more interested in what St George's Day can represent. 'The party said it wanted to encourage more people to fly the St George's flag and end a 'cultural self-loathing' about being proud to be English. Peter Whittle, the party's culture and communities spokesman said: 'For too long we have lived with a political and cultural establishment which has shown a sort of disdain for England which has doubted Britain has a whole and has discouraged pride in it. Their embarrassment about our past, their lack of concern about our history has permeated our culture. 'Now many young people know little about the country in which they live. The patriotism of the many is often sneered at. We have a society that appears to live in a state of culture cringe. People have been encouraged to believe that national pride is exclusive, is dangerous, is bigoted and should therefore be discouraged.' He said that people who celebrate St George's Day should not be seen as 'racist'. He added: 'There is a sense somehow when it comes to a perfectly ordinary benign patriotism many people do feel that they are slightly concerned that if they say they are proud they are immediately going to be cast as racist, or bigoted or whatever.

The HiRise camera is able to take images of the surface with a resolution of 10 inches (25cm) per pixel, allowing it to spot the rover on the surface. It is seen here in the full image, circled. The rover is parked over dark sand in a valley with light-toned outcrops of rock .

The rover's top speed is 1.5 inches (3.8 centimetres) per second. Curiosity is the fourth rover to visit Mars. It took around seven minutes to land on the Red Planet. The rover is fitted with 17 cameras. It weighs about the same as a Mini Cooper at approximately 900kg (2,000lbs). Scientists considered 60 possible landing sites before deciding on Gale Crater. It is not the first time it has spotted Curiosity, or indeed other rovers, on the surface - but it is the first time in 2015.

The Prime Minister said he will amend the Working Times regulations so for three days people can volunteer or serve as a school governor, and get paid in addition to their 28 days of paid holiday. But business leaders criticised the move as heavy-handed government intervention', amid doubts about how the policy would be paid for. Scroll down for video . Happy handshake: The Prime Minister met staff and volunteers at the Age UK Day Centre in Plymouth today . Prime Minister David Cameron's Big Society good deeds scheme will only affect firms with 250 or more staff . The policy will apply to workers at firms with at least 250 staff - an estimated 10 million in the private sector and five million in the public sector. Volunteers would be able to take the time to volunteer in a block or flexibly. Announcing the policy Mr Cameron said: 'This election is about building a better future for our children and grandchildren. The foundation stone of that better future is our economic security. But Conservatives know the society we build on top of that is just as important too. 'This is the clearest demonstration of the Big Society in action - and I'm proud it's a Conservative government that will deliver it.' But Simon Walker, director general of the Institute of Directors (IoD), criticised the announcement, saying the policy did not appear to have been thought through. 'Many, many businesses are already highly engaged in their local community and with charitable causes, and the IoD thoroughly supports them. Passing a law to compel firms to pay their staff to volunteer for charity is hardly in keeping with the spirit of philanthropy. 'Businesses should support their staff if they want to volunteer, but the architects of this idea cannot pretend that forcing firms to give an additional three days of paid leave will do anything other than add costs. Time off for charity work and volunteering is a matter for managers and employees to discuss between themselves, not a target for heavy-handed government intervention. 'This announcement not only undermines the Tory record on reducing business regulation, it also puts additional pressure on public sector employers, and ultimately the taxpayer. Frankly, the essence of volunteering is that it is voluntary. The IoD would welcome proposals to incentivise and make it easier for companies to facilitate volunteering, but it has to be a choice.'

Last week, the US Justice Department said prison officials must treat an inmate\u2019s gender identity condition just as they would treat any other medical or mental health condition following a February lawsuit from the Southern Poverty Law Center filed against Georgia Department of Corrections officials on behalf of Ashley Diamond, a transgender woman. Allies: Elton John and lead singer of REM Michael Stipe have joined forces calling for the equal rights of transgender inmates . Prison officials must treat an inmate's gender identity condition just as they would treat any other medical or mental health condition, according to a Justice Department ruling in the case of transgender inmate Ashley Diamond . According to the lawsuit, prison officials did not provide sufficient treatment for 36-year-old Diamond\u2019s gender dysphoria - a condition that causes a person to experience extreme distress because of a disconnect between the birth sex and gender identity. The lawsuit also said Diamond was without hormone treatment for three years and her body suffered as a result, and that she had been sexually assaulted and ridiculed in prison. \u2018More often than not, assaults in part go unreported because the perpetrators are prison guards, wardens and staff,\u2019 said Stipe and John, who founded the Elton John AIDS Foundation. \u2018This is outrageous, and the message it sends is horrific: that violence against and discrimination of trans people is not only allowed, but sanctioned.\u2019 Both John, 68, and Stipe, 55, are openly gay. The frontman of REM is a long-time supporter of the Rocket Man singer\u2019s foundation. In their statement, John and Stipe applauded the Justice Department for coming out in support of Ms Diamond and for challenging the constitutionality of Georgia\u2019s policy of denying transgender inmates hormone treatments. But the musicians argued that more steps must be taken to end the \u2018culture of violence and discrimination.\u2019 \u2018We urge the state of Georgia to embrace desperately needed changes to their correctional system,\u2019 the statement concluded. Last week, a judge ordered California\u2019s corrections department to provide a transgender inmate with sex-reassignment surgery. It was the first time such an operation has been ordered in the state. A photo of Diamond compared to her Department of Corrections mugshot shows the drastic difference without maintaining treatment . The Justice Department filed a brief in Ashley Diamon's case last Friday saying it's not taking a position on the accuracy of Diamond's claims, but reminding prison officials that the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution requires them to provide inmates with individualized assessment and care for the condition.

+{"article": "It is the age-old trick of students the world over - pulling all-nighters to cram for an exam. But a team of experts at Brandeis University in Massachusetts have a few words of wisdom, urging students to put down the coffee and sleep. They believe the memory neurons that are responsible for converting short-term memories into long-term ones, work most effectively when a person is asleep. Scientists have long known that sleep, memory and learning are deeply connected. Most animals, from flies to humans, have trouble remembering when they are sleep-deprived. And studies have shown that sleep is critical in converting short-term memories, into long-term memory, a process known as memory consolidation. A team of scientists at Brandeis University in Massachusetts believe all-nighters to cram before an exam won't work because the process converting short-term memory to long-term memory is best carried out when a person is asleep . But just how that process works has remained a mystery. One body of thinking questions whether the mechanism that promotes sleep is also responsible for consolidating memory. While another asks if the two distinct process work together. In other words, is memory consolidated during sleep because the brain is quiet, allowing memory neurons to go to work, or are memory neurons actually putting us to sleep? Graduate students, Paula Haynes and Bethany Christmann, at the university's Griffith Lab, believe the answer is the latter. They focused their research on dorsal paired medial neurons, well-known memory consolidators in fruit flies. The pair noted, for the first time, that when the neurons are activated, the flies slept more, but when they were deactivated, the flies kept buzzing. These memory consolidators cause the flies to fall asleep, as they begin to convert short-term memory to long-term memory. Ms Haynes and Ms Christmann said this all takes place in a section of the fly's brain called the mushroom body - similar to the hippocampus in humans, which is where our memories are stored. The parts of the fly's mushroom body, which is responsible for memory and learning is the same part that keeps it awake. The hippocampus in the brain, highlighted in red, is where our memories are stored, and where, the scientists believe the process takes place . Ms Christmann, said: 'It's almost as if that section of the mushroom body were saying, \"hey, stay awake and learn this\". 'Then, after a while, the DPM neurons start signaling to suppress that section, as if to say, \"you're going to need sleep if you want to remember this later\".' Understanding how sleep and memory are connected in a simple system, like fruit flies, can help scientists unravel the secrets of the human brain. 'Knowing that sleep and memory overlap in the fly brain can allow researchers to narrow their search in humans,' Ms Christmann said. 'Eventually, it could help us figure out how sleep or memory is affected when things go wrong, as in the case of insomnia or memory disorders.' This research was funded by the National Institute of Health.", "summary": "Memory neurons that covert short-term memory to long-term work most effectively when a person is asleep, scientists believe .

+{"article": "This fascinating interactive map shows where more than 231 million immigrants live around the world, and reveals that more than 7.8 million reside in the UK. The new data, released by the United Nations, shows how the number of international migrants has increased by nearly 80 million over the last 25 years. In 1995, there were more than 154 million migrants who left their home country and moved to another for various reasons. In comparison, that number had risen to 231 million globally by 2013, according to the international migrant stock trends data. The graphic, featured in The Telegraph, comes at a time when immigration is being heavily discussed by political parties, who each have varying policies on the issue in their manifestos, in the lead-up to May's election. It reveals that Great Britain and Northern Ireland are among the nations which have a high number of immigrants, with more than 7.8 million recorded. Other European countries also have similar numbers, with Germany having nine million, France recording 7.5million and Spain reporting more than six million. Meanwhile, the U.S. has more than 45 million immigrants - the most of all nations - and Russia has more than 11 million. Saudi Arabia has nine million. Countries which had the fewest number of immigrants include Morocco with 50,000, Mongolia with just 17,000 and Greenland with only 5,000. Others with low figures include Tunisia, Papua New Guinea, Cuba and Guyana. The top worldwide destinations for international migrants were the U.S., Russia, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, UK and France, according to the data. It also revealed the areas in the UK where immigrants live, with London, Leicester, the Birmingham area and Bradford among those with the highest percentage. The figures come after it emerged Prime Minister David Cameron had failed in his pledge to slash net migration to the tens of thousands before the general election. Official figures, released in February by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), show there was a net flow of 298,000 migrants to the UK in the year to September last year, equal to the population of a city roughly the size of Nottingham and up from 210,000 in the previous 12 months. The increase in net migration was driven by a 'statistically significant' rise in immigrants arriving in the UK - up to 624,000 in the year to September 2014 from 530,000 in the previous 12 months. Around 327,000 people emigrated from the UK in the same period. Mr Cameron and Home Secretary Theresa May had promised to slash net migration to below 100,000 by the end of the current parliamentary term. The figures also revealed there were significant increases in immigration of non-EU citizens - up 49,000 to 292,000 - and European Union citizens - up 43,000 to 251,000. Experts flagged another statistically significant increase in Romanian and Bulgarian citizens arriving in the UK - up to 37,000 from 24,000 in the previous 12 months. Of these, 27,000 were coming for work, a rise of 10,000 on the year ending September 2013, the ONS added.

Light punishment: James Paul Harris (left), 30, pleaded no contest in December to involuntary manslaughter in the 2011 garroting death of 49-year-old James Gerety (right). On Monday, a judge sentenced Harris to four years and two months . But Osage County Attorney Brandon Jones said pursuing the more serious charge posed challenges because of problems with evidence and key witnesses. A former girlfriend testified a year ago that Harris told her he shot Gerety in the stomach, tortured him for two days, then cut off his head. Prosecutors allege Harris kept Gerety's head for months for some type of religious practice, identified earlier as voodoo. Part of the skull was found in March 2012 in rural Osage County on land where Harris' father lived. 'You can murder somebody and get out in 50 months,' Tom Gerety said, according to The Topeka Capital-Journal. 'What's that tell everybody on the wrong side of the law?' Other than a portion of the victim's skull, prosecutors did not have the victim's body, the murder weapon had not been recovered, not all of the prosecution's witnesses were available, and prosecutors faced 'credibility issues' with a major witness, Jones said. 'It was going to be a tough case to prosecute,' Jones said. Harris declined to say anything during the sentencing. The judge asked if Tom Gerety wanted to say anything. 'It wouldn't do any good,' Mr Gerety replied.

Henderson said Gerety planned to live with James Harris in Carbondale, 18 miles south of Topeka.

Corey, who was born with a complex congenital heart defect, held the rings at the ceremony at his bedside in Bristol Children's Hospital .

+{"article": "An art student at Syracuse University has taken a positive stand on self love and is sharing her secrets to accepting her flaws through a series of stunning self-portraits - and motivational speaking. Three years ago on New Year's Day, LaNia Roberts was standing in front of her mirror, vowing to change herself - but also to love herself more, after enduring years of cruel comments from her peers, and an ever-present feeling of self-doubt. Now, at only 18, LaNia is sharing details of how she learned to accept herself for who she is \u2013 and how, through her love of art, she learned to find beauty within her own appearance. Picture perfect: 18-year-old Syracuse painting student LaNia Roberts recently gave a speech at the university on learning to love one's self unconditionally . The artist: LaNia specializes in self-portraits, which she began painting in high school . Earlier this month, LaNia gave a moving motivational speech titled 'Love Yourself Unconditionally', during which the Louisville native LaNia recounted her journey to self-acceptance and eagerly shared the lessons she has learned. The path to this realization came after LaNia made that New Year's resolution in 2012. She joined the track team at her high school and lost 50 pounds, eventually being able to stand in front of that mirror again and call herself beautiful. She also began painting self-portraits as a means of embracing her own appearance and finding beauty within every flaw. 'Little did I know that love was so conditional,' LaNia explained in her speech, reports The Daily Orange. 'It was like accepting the terms and conditions that you check when you're making a new Facebook or something.' But then over the summer of junior year, LaNia gained the weight back. 'Every pound that I gained, I lost a pound of love,' she said. 'So you can do the math of how much love I lost for myself. I would look at myself in the mirror and say, \"Oh my gosh.\"' Lessons learned: LaNia's journey began after making a New Year's resolution to lose weight and love herself more back in 2012 . Talented: Before coming to Syracuse, the Louisville native had been accepted to a highly-selective art program at The Kentucky Governor\u2019s School for the Arts . However, her paintings tell a different story. 'When it comes to painting a self-portrait, I could turn those things that I didn't really love into something that was beautiful not only to me, but to others,' LaNia told Cosmo. 'Beauty is learned. Beauty is something that we have learned over time,' LaNia told Cosmo. 'Now I'm actually understanding that it's not other people accepting me that leads to happiness.' Focusing more on her artistic flair than her physical appearance, LaNia became more confident, more outspoken, and vowed to take more risks. She was accepted to a highly-selective art program at The Kentucky Governor\u2019s School for the Arts and even had the confidence to confess to a man that she thought he was 'the most beautiful man on this damn earth.'

That is, until somebody tries to imitate his now trademark goal celebrations. Speaking on Sky's Soccer AM, the 34-year-old front man gave an in-depth analysis on where it all went 'horribly wrong' for Potters team-mate Charlie Adam following his wonder strike against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Saturday. Charlie Adam (second right) celebrates his stunning goal against Chelsea with his Stoke team-mates . Peter Crouch was at hand to give his verdict on Adam's dancing skills on Sky's Soccer AM chat show .

After smashing home Stoke's equaliser from 65-yards over the head of Blues goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, the former Liverpool midfielder ran to the touchline to greet Crouch, who started on the bench during the 2-1 loss for Mark Hughes' men. The former England striker even went as far as to highlight where Adam was going wrong . The former Liverpool and Tottenham striker was less than impressed with Adam's efforts to imitate him . 'Obviously we're all in agreement it's a fantastic strike from Charlie Adam,' Crouch admitted. Less impressed with his post-strike antics, Crouch's critique on his Britannia Stadium colleague pulled no punches. 'He goes into the celebration far too quickly. No warm up.' 'As you can see he's not got his arm in the 90 degree angle that a robot should start. 'The arms, the shoulders are all coming over in the wrong direction and he just needs to needs to be a bit looser.' 'It's a real shame, because obviously he's got genuine intent and love for the robot, but he's just got a lot of it wrong.' We'll look forward to seeing Crouch show us all how it's done when he's next on the score sheet.

When The Old Lady of Turin takes her place alongside Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid on Friday, it will appear that Massimiliano Allegri has returned this great club to the elite level. In reality it will be a clash of cultures as Juventus, who have kept nine clean sheets in their last ten fixtures, plot their path to the Champions League final in Berlin. It will be painful and far from pretty if Juve, who held on to the lead Arturo Vidal gave them from the penalty spot in the first leg against Monaco, progress to the final on June 6.

What Root has done is have a look at himself, stay quiet and then produce hundred after hundred to ensure he will not be left out in a hurry again. Joe Root showed plenty of grit, as well as talent, in yet another big innings for England . Root has bounced back from a difficult Ashes Tour to prove himself as a quality Test batsman . Around four years ago I remember sitting next to Graham Thorpe on a bus journey and him quietly telling me that the young English batsman to watch out for was Joe Root. He was barely heard of then. How right Thorpe was, for what Root has done since Sydney speaks volumes about the character of the bloke. Do not be fooled by the boyish grin and cheeky demeanour. He is as steely as they come, a fierce competitor who loves playing for England. He tells himself every day that he must enjoy the game but that takes nothing away from the quality of his magnificent performances. His last five hundreds have been in excess of 149, four of them have been unbeaten and in the way he batted with Jimmy Anderson yesterday he showed he has a very good cricket brain. And he hasn\u2019t messed with his form either. It would be easy in his current run to chip up a catch on 40 or give it away as soon as he reaches a hundred, as Marlon Samuels did in the first innings here. I love the way Root goes big. Before his partner was foolishly run out, Root showed maturity to bat with the tail on Friday in Grenada . The young batsman has been superb in his middle-order role, and should not be moved up the batting card . Part of me sees Root as a natural No 3, where England tried him in Australia. He looks like a batsman who could come in and regain the initiative if you lose an early wicket. But why move him when he is going so well at five? Keep him there. Eventually he will captain England and five is a good place to captain from. The only problem in seeing him as a future England captain is that do we want to put our best player in charge when his runs are so important? Look at Alastair Cook and just about every England captain in history. It wears them all down in the end and when the day eventually comes that England need a new leader they will have to think about that.

A Libyan convicted of 78 offences cannot be deported from Britain because he is an alcoholic. Seven years after the man was first told he would be booted out of the country, a judge has finally ruled that it would breach his human rights. In what is thought to be an unprecedented case, he successfully argued he would be tortured and imprisoned by the authorities in his homeland because drinking alcohol is illegal. Judges rejected Home Secretary Theresa May's attempt to deport the 53-year-old serial criminal because of the risk of 'unacceptably savage' abuse he faced in Libya. It means he will be able to continue his drink-fuelled offending spree in Britain. His case is estimated to have cost British taxpayers a six-figure sum, including the cost of police time, legal fees racked up by challenging his claims in the courts and the costs of keeping him in prison. The case reignited the row over the ease with which alleged foreign criminals could exploit human rights laws. Last night Peter Bone, Tory candidate for Wellingborough, said the case illustrated why Britain should scrap the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 'This kind of things drives people mad,' he said. 'On the doorstep they find cases like this outrageous. Few people will think this man should remain in the country. He has completely abused our hospitality.' Despite insisting the Libyan had 'behaved disgracefully' to rack up 78 crimes on 52 occasions, the Upper Immigration Tribunal said deporting him would violate the European Convention on Human Rights, incorporated into British law by the Human Rights Act. It found that removing him would breach Article 3, the right to avoid inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment, and Article 8, the right to a private or family life. In a written ruling, Judge Jonathan Perkins said: 'Under the rule of militia [in Libya] the usual routine for a person found drinking was arrest, possible whipping and detention for a few days.' Expert witnesses had claimed that there was 'a chance of virtually permanent detention in the case of an habitual drunk'. He he successfully argued he would be tortured and imprisoned by the authorities in his homeland because drinking alcohol is illegal . Belal Ballali, a British-Libyan researcher, said 'commercially produced alcohol is widely available in Tripoli' and 'cheaply made 'moonshine' is readily available and cheap to buy outside the capital'. The man, who was granted anonymity by the courts and can only be identified by the initials 'HU', came to Britain in 1981 to study engineering. Apart from a short period in Libya from August 1993 to October 1994, he has remained here ever since. He had spent 'many years' trying to deal with his alcohol dependency. During that time he had been imprisoned for a string of offences 'largely and possibly exclusively as a consequence of his alcoholism', the judge ruled.

It comes as Wonga, the UK\u2019s biggest payday loans firm, today revealed it racked up a \u00a337.3million loss last year following a significant reduction in UK consumer lending while it attempts to clean up its tarnished image. Revenues declined to \u00a3217.2million in the period, down by almost \u00a3100million.

Hundreds of payday lenders, such as Wonga, will be wiped out by tougher rules designed to protect customers, experts have predicted . The City watchdog has forecast that just three or four payday lenders out of 400 will be left standing following the introduction of the rules in January.

Payday lenders have all had to apply for a license to trade and will learn in the coming months whether they have been successful. Robin Savage, an analyst from investment bank Canaccord Genuity described some of the tactics used by payday lenders \u2013 such as extending loan terms and adding interest to customers who cannot afford to repay - as \u2018evil\u2019.

It was also ordered to pay \u00a32.6million in compensation after sending fake legal letters between 2008 and 2010 to 45,000 customers who had fallen behind on their repayments.

Many scientists believe UFO sightings such as this are down to a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia. Pareidolia is the response to seeing faces and other significant and items, such as UFO, in random stimulus. 'The vast majority of these images are as vague and elusive as those posted by UFO witnesses on Earth, and many have a fairly mundane explanation,' Nigel Watson author of the UFO investigations Manual told DailyMail.com . 'The problem is that the more Nasa denies such things or explains them, the more people think there is a conspiracy to hide the truth that aliens are visiting our planet.' The image was taken by unmanned space probe Mercury-Redstone 1A on December 19, 1960. 'Why wouldn't aliens be interested in watching a historical moment in human history?,' asked Waring in his blog. 'Especially since the capsule was unmanned, there were no worries that they would be seen.' The image was taken as part of Project Mercury, which was the US' first mission to put humans in space. It started in 1958 and ended in 1963. The objectives of the program were to orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth, investigate man's ability to function in space, and to recover both the astronaut and spacecraft safely. The first United States astronaut was Alan Shepard, whose suborbital flight of the Freedom 7 space capsule on May 5, 1961, was the first success of the Mercury program.

It\u2019s a balance between a warm and inviting design combined with practical efficiency. After judging the kitchens on The Block last week and taking into account what buyers look for in a kitchen, property buyers expert Frank Valentic gives his tips for ensuring great kitchen design. Activity based design: . The key to ensuring the practicality of your kitchen is to zone areas of the kitchen based on activities e.g. food preparation, cooking, clean-up etc. with storage for those activities within those zones. These areas need to be easily accessible to each other and flow well (e.g. food preparation near the cooking area etc.). There\u2019s no use in a pretty kitchen when your preparation area is on the opposite end of the kitchen from your stovetop. Bench space: . This is one of the most common bugbears when buyers are looking at kitchens. Enough bench/counter space is crucial not only for food preparation but also for serving when entertaining. Scroll down for video . There was plenty of bench space in Dea and Darren\u2019s kitchen on The Block . Storage space: . Plenty of storage space is essential and you need to find a good balance between design aesthetics and practicality. Take into account what\u2019s most important for you in terms of storage, as I recommended a Walk-in pantry vs a Butler\u2019s pantry, consider whether having extra space for preparation and a large area to hide your appliances is paramount to you or whether a larger area for food storage is more vital. Judge Neale Whitaker said Dea and Darren's kitchen 'didn't have their usual the flare, confidence or pizzazz' Sufficient lighting: . As the Buyer\u2019s Advocate Jury discussed when viewing Josh and Charlotte\u2019s kitchen, it\u2019s not an area of the home that you can get away with the \u2018bare bones\u2019 when it comes to lighting. For the purpose of safety in food preparation and cooking, good lighting is paramount. Specifically in the preparation, cooking and cleaning areas, it\u2019s essential to have good quality lighting. Josh and Charlotte\u2019s kitchen lacked lighting above the benchtop according to Frank Valentic . Splash backs: . In the cooking and cleaning zones of the kitchen, splashbacks are important and while design is also important, it shouldn\u2019t be at the expense of practicality. Try and find a good medium between something that looks great but is also low maintenance and easy to clean! The judges were shocked that Josh and Charlotte's had overlooked lighting over the bench top given Charlotte's food styling background . Ventilation: . Akin to the bathroom, the kitchen requires great ventilation so ensure you have a good quality range hood and windows that can be opened.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be looking to add to his squad ahead of the 2015-16 Premier League season . GOALKEEPERS . PETR CECH . Chelsea . Cost: \u00a310million . Jose Mourinho says it will cost 'huge money' for Cech who at 32 is still reliable and a calming influence. Paris Saint-Germain remain the front-runners for his signature although Liverpool maintain hope too. The figures and Cech's age would normally act as a deterrent for the cash-conscious Arsene Wenger. However, Cech's experience could settle an often nervy defence and lift the performance levels of those around him. Petr Cech looks set to leave Chelsea after losing his No 1 spot to Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois . BERND LENO . Bayer Leverkusen . Cost: \u00a312million . Arsenal have a keen interest in the 23-year-old German Under 21 international. He already has good experience having made his Champions League debut against Chelsea in 2011 at 19. Arsenal scouts watching his team-mate Lars Bender have been impressed and Leno is interested in a move. His contract runs to 2018 but he said: 'The foreign option is certainly appealing. A new language, a new culture - that I could definitely imagine.' Bernd Leno pulls off a brilliant save during Bayer Leverkusen's 1-1 Bundesliga draw against Cologne . MATTIA PERIN . Genoa . Cost: \u00a316million . Arsenal have pondered the experience of Real Madrid's Iker Casillas, the promise of Mainz's Loris Karius but Mattia Perin at Genoa keeps cropping up on their scouting lists. He is 22 and tipped to become the new Gianluigi Buffon but Arsenal have watched him for three years now. Liverpool have also considered him as have Inter Milan. Another option with Premier League experience and at a similar price who has been discussed is Asmir Begovic of Stoke City. Arsenal have been scouting 22-year-old Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin for the past three years . DEFENDERS . ALEKSANDAR DRAGOVIC . Dinamo Kiev . Cost: \u00a312million . Dragovic has been watched several times by Arsenal scouts. The Austria international is the subject of interest from Inter Milan and they are keen to strike a deal at the end of the season. Manchester United and West Ham have also watched Dragovic after first being alerted when he played for Basle alongside Fabian Schar. Arsenal though remain unsure Dragovic is for them. The Gunners have been keeping track of Aleksandar Dragovic but the Austrian is a target for Inter Milan . AYMEN ABDENNOUR . Monaco . Cost: \u00a310million .

In a tweet published ahead of Liverpool's clash against Newcastle tonight, the bookmakers appeared to make light of the issue in the wake of a succession of stories in the US regarding police shootings on African-Americans. On the Paddy Power Offers page, a tweet was published that read: 'Newcastle have suffered more Kop beatings over the last 20 years than an unarmed African-American male'. It was accompanied by a smirking picture of Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers and has resulted in a furious backlash on social media. Controversy: Paddy Power appeared to make a joke about the recent police shootings on African-Americans . One said: 'This is the most disgusting tweet I've read in probably my entire time on Twitter.' She added: 'How dare you make the execution of Black men in America the butt of your jokes'. Another quipped: 'What's funny? Black people being killed? Explain yourself.' Others lined up to condemn the bookmakers describing the tweet as 'deplorable', 'unbelievable', 'horrible' and 'disgusting'.

Paddy Power's controversial advert about the outcome of the Oscar Pistorius murder trial was the most complained about advertisement in Britain last year. It offered 'money back if he walks' for punters betting on the outcome of the trial. After receiving 5,525 complaints, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) pulled the advert on the grounds it trivialised 'the issues surrounding a murder trial, the death of a woman and disability.'

But he said that, much like data is now routinely transmitted via computers, the same may soon be true for full personalities. Scroll down for video . Sebastian Thrun (R), the founder of the Google X research library, looks on as virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier speaks at a symposium at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California on April 2, 2015 . 'Perhaps we can get to the point where we can outsource our own personal experiences entirely into a computer - and possibly our own personality. 'Maybe we're going to have a demo at some point where the computer runs 'Sebastian,'' he told a symposium Thursday evening at Stanford University. 'It's maybe unimaginable but it's not as far off as people think. It's very doable,' said the German-born computer scientist, who remains a fellow at Google. 'I do believe that in all these technologies we have just scratched the surface. 'Almost everything interesting hasn't been invented yet,' he said. Other upcoming inventions predicted by Thrun include flying cars, computers that are implantable into the human body, and medical treatments that will drastically curb unnatural deaths. Thrun was speaking as part of events to mark the premiere of 'The Demo,' an experimental opera about the 1968 data transmission test by scientist Doug Engelbart that helped pave the way for the creation of the Internet. But Jaron Lanier, a virtual reality pioneer known for his books on the philosophy of computers, doubted that scientists could ascertain how to share personalities.

The sophomore at Woodgrove High School and her family sued the Chesapeake Region Volleyball Association on March 10 after they said she was accepted to another club but was denied the transfer from her league. The lawsuit seeks to let Audrey transfer clubs and asks for attorney fees. Scroll down for video . Audrey Dimitrew, 16, of Virginia accepted a spot on the under-16 Chantilly Juniors club but was benched first two tournaments of the season and was told her skills were not up to par to compete with her team . She along with her family (her mother Susan pictured left), have filed a lawsuit against the league, Chesapeake Region Volleyball Association, seeking for Audrey to transfer teams . Coaches told Audrey she had the potential to play college volleyball and that she would get 'significant tournament game experience' as one of two setters on the team, according to court documents. However, things changed after the season began, her attorney Robert J. Cunningham said, and she was told she did not have the skills to compete with the team. She was benched the first two tournaments and the coach told her she would not play much for the rest of the season, according to the Washington Post. Audrey was then told by her coach that she could transfer to another club in the league if she wanted or she could be a practice player for the team. She chose to transfer teams and found another club, NV Premier, who wanted her but the league cried foul and said no to a transfer. After several appeals to the league were denied, the family filed suit. 'It wasn't about playing time, it was about playing. She wants to play,' Audrey's mother, Susan told CBS. Audrey was offered a spot on another club, NV Premier, but the league said she could not transfer.

'Should CHRVA allow players the ability to move teams when they are unhappy with the amount of playtime they are receiving, we would be overwhelmed with requests to change teams,' a league official wrote in a January 26 letter to Audrey's parents. The Dimitrews' attorney says that this is true in Audrey's case, but the league disagrees. An attorney for the league, Kenneth G.

Martinez was lauded by Everton fans last season as the club qualified for Europe with a fifth-placed finish in the Barclays Premier League. But the going has been a lot tougher for the Spaniard in his second season on Merseyside with Everton having only removed the spectre of relegation by winning their last three matches. Garry Monk wants Swansea to continue their own impressive form with victory over Everton on Saturday . Bafetimbi Gomis (centre) scored twice for Swansea in their 3-1 victory over Hull last weekend . Ki Sung-Yueng (second right) also got on the scoresheet as Swansea maintained their impressive form . Vandals even defaced the outside of Goodison Park with 'Martinez Out' and 'Not Good Enough' sprayed on the wall of a stand in white paint, but Monk insists that is simply a part of modern-day football when results do not go your way.

'It's just making sure you come through them and he's won the last three games, they're back on the up and he'll want to finish the season strongly. 'Of course they'd want to be pushing further up the league and it's not a position you'd associate with Everton. 'But if they can get back up to finish positively it will put a different twist on the season.' Everton have had to balance their domestic commitments with a demanding Europa League campaign which saw them knocked out at the round-of-16 stage last month. And Monk knows from Swansea being in the competition last season how much that has an impact on Premier League performances and results. 'Europe is tough, the travelling and constant games in certain periods,' Monk said. 'It all adds up and the intensity of the football at this level takes it out of you and takes its toll. 'Whether it (Everton's results) is all down to that I don't know, but it does play a major part and if you look at the teams who have played in the Europa League, including ourselves, it has had an impact.' Swansea have never beaten Everton in the league but they claimed a point at Goodison Park in November after being reduced to 10 men following Jonjo Shelvey's dismissal.

But Hawker\u2019s inspirational memoir does not focus on the figures. She\u2019s more interested in why she is able to push herself beyond normal limits, and how running makes her feel. Her book is strong on Buddhist philosophy and the peace that comes with living fully in the now. Raised in Upminster, East London, Hawker says she always felt a profound connection to nature. She became a vegetarian aged five, and knew her future lay in the mountains after her first skiing trip to Zermatt when she was six. Only a few years later, frustrated by the queue for the cable cars, she threw her skis over her shoulders and beat her family back down the mountain.

She ran at weekends and after work, clocking an average time in the London Marathon and later winning a race across the fells.

Many teenagers are tempted to try e-cigarettes, but few become regular users, scientists have discovered. In fact, they found most of those teens who do try e-cigarettes are also smokers. This suggests young people are not using the electronic alternatives to try and quit their habits - nor are they getting hooked on them after initially trying them. Researchers examined data from two nationally representative surveys of primary and secondary schoolchildren from more than 150 schools across Wales. In all, 1,601 children aged 10 to 11 and 9,055 children aged 11 to 16 were quizzed about their use of e-cigarettes. Experts at Cardiff University found use of e-cigarettes at least once was more common than having smoked a conventional cigarette in all age groups, bar the oldest (15 to 16 year olds). Almost six per cent of 10 to 11 year olds had tried e-cigarettes, far more than had been tempted by tobacco (1.6 per cent). Meanwhile, 12 per cent of 11 to 16 year olds said they had used e-cigarettes, irrespective of gender, ethnic background, or family affluence. This is in contrast with the pattern seen in smokers, where all these factors come into play. The researchers said it suggests e-cigarettes may have a wider appeal across all sectors of the teenage population. The proportion of teens who used e-cigarettes, but who had never smoked, rose from 5 per cent among 10 to 11 year olds, to eight per cent among 15 to 16 year olds. But only 1.5 per cent of those aged 11 to 16 said they regularly used the electronic devices - defined as at least once a month. The researchers note their findings suggest 'e-cigarettes are unlikely to make a major, direct contribution to adolescent nicotine addiction at present'. They note the World Health Organisation recognise there is little evidence as to whether e-cigarettes may or may not act as a gateway to conventional smoking. The odds of regular e-cigarette use were 100 times higher among current weekly smokers than among non-smokers, and 50 times higher among those who had smoked cannabis .

It puts the luxury apartment out of reach for potential child abuse victims suing the peer for compensation. His flat, in a gated community near Hampstead Heath, north London, was transferred free of charge to his two daughters and son in March last year \u2013 the same month that police raided his Westminster office, and three months after they had swooped on his home. Scroll down for video . Lord Janner signed over the deeds of his \u00a32 million flat in this complex to his children after the police raid . Lord Janner, pictured, was able to sign over the flat despite his legal team claiming he was unfit to stand trial . The revelation follows an outcry over the decision not to prosecute the former Labour MP for child abuse. Victims and leading politicians accused Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders of \u2018damaging public confidence\u2019 in the justice system with her ruling that Lord Janner\u2019s dementia made him unfit to stand trial \u2013 despite a tide of evidence against the 86-year-old. But his mental health did not seem to stand in the way of him signing legal documents to transfer ownership of the flat. Last night, Liz Dux, a solicitor from Slater and Gordon representing several of the peer\u2019s alleged victims, said: \u2018They will be asking how a man who lacks the mental capacity to stand trial has sufficient capacity to give valid instructions to transfer his assets. \u2018It will be of great concern to them to see what may be their last opportunity to achieve any sort of justice deliberately obstructed. \u2018The court would be asked to look at any transactions undertaken in recent months which could constitute efforts to defraud potential creditors.\u2019 Peter Garsden, a solicitor representing two other alleged victims, said: \u2018Obviously it puts obstacles in the way \u2026 There must be suspicions about the intention of the transfer. It would be looked on very critically by a court of law.\u2019 Lord Janner\u2019s duplex apartment over ground and basement floors, with private off-street parking, is likely to have been the peer\u2019s most valuable asset. A neighbouring flat was recently on sale for \u00a31.99million and another fetched \u00a31.8million last year.

Civil cases are being prepared to force Lord Janner to pay sizeable compensation to his alleged victims. His flat had been owned solely by him since June 1988, Land Registry documents show. Police raided the property in December 2013 as part of Operation Enamel into historic claims he molested a string of youngsters.

+{"article": "The woolly mammoth became extinct as a result of crippling bone disease that left them unable to fend off predators, according to startling new evidence from Russia. It was previously thought that the hairy beast simply died out from post-Ice Age climate change and being hunted to extinction by early man. But now a new theory is set to re-write the history books after the examination of more than 23,500 mammoth bones found them riddled with osteoporosis and lacking in calcium. Dr Leshchinsky, the head of the laboratory of Mesozoic and Cenozoic continental eco-systems, said: 'In some collections that we examined almost 100 per cent of the bones (pictured) had signs of osteoporosis' The major mineral deficiency - which came from the impact of rising temperatures on soil and water - resulted in them breaking their limbs and spines, and left them unable to walk. In turn it meant the giant animal, which stood 10ft (three metres) high, eventually collapsed to the ground and could not forage for food, or flee hunters. According to the Siberian Times, the new evidence was uncovered by Dr Sergey Leshchinsky, from Tomsk State University. He spent a decade analysing bone and teeth samples from mammoths that roamed western Europe and Russia between 10,000 and 30,000 years ago. Until now it was thought that the woolly mammoth simply died out from post-Ice Age climate change and being hunted to extinction by early man (analysis of bones at mammoth 'graveyard' pictured) One mammoth graveyard where many bones have been found is in Lugovskoe, Russia . Shown is a young mammoth jaw riddled with bone disease. According to the Siberian Times , the new evidence was uncovered by Dr Sergey Leshchinsky, from Tomsk State University . The deficiency in calcium - which came from the impact of rising temperatures on soil and water - resulted in mammoths breaking their bones (example pictured) limbs and spines, leaving them unable to walk . Since the 1700s scientists have debated what caused the demise of mammoths. All but a few isolated island populations disappeared between 20,000 and 10,000 years ago. One popular theory, bolstered by this study, is that Ice Age people hunted most of the mammoths out of existence. However, some experts argue that global warming helped make the giant creatures extinct between 20,000 and 25,000 years ago. Other researchers argue that an impact of extraterritorial objects in North America 13,000 years ago, led to rapid climate change, eventually wiping out the mammoths. Today, it's thought that a combination of factors led to extinction. But now a new theory - osteoperosis - might need to be added to the list. Dr Leshchinsky, the head of the laboratory of Mesozoic and Cenozoic continental eco-systems, said: 'In some collections that we examined, almost 100 per cent of the bones had signs of osteoporosis. 'Obviously, this led to a high traumatism among animals, such as sprains and fractures because of the smallest loads. 'Mammoths with damaged limbs or spines could not find food in sufficient quantities and lost the ability to follow the herd.", "summary": "Mammoth bones found in Russia suggest new theory for their demise .

He is planning to run a Kickstarter campaign and is hoping to raise $30 billion (\u00a320 billion) to build a pipeline from Seattle to bring water to the state. But the proposal to build a pipeline hundreds of miles long has been declared 'highly illogical' by some experts. Scroll down for video . Former captain of the fictional Star Trek Enterprise, William Shatner (pictured) has revealed radical proposals in an interview with Yahoo News. He wants to build a 4ft-wide pipeline from Seattle down to California to transport water and solve the state's ongoing drought problem . He revealed the crowdfunding campaign in an interview with David Pogue from Yahoo News. Mr Shatner likened his project to a similar pipeline in Alaska - with, in this case, the pipeline running from Seattle to California down the I-5 highway. Since the year 2000, seven western states in the US has seen their driest periods in centuries: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. And scientists in California have warned that the region may be experiencing a century-long 'mega-drought'. The warnings came after sediment studies showed California is currently experiencing the driest spell since 1580, and that the regular rainfall seen during the last century is likely to have been a temporary deviation in a cycle of droughts and very occasional rainfall over the last 3,000 years. In 2013, California received less rain than in any year since its formation as a state in 1850. And the last four years have seen the worst conditions, with the entire state of California now declared to be experiencing a drought. The pipeline would reportedly be used to fill one of the rapidly drying lakes in California. He said Seattle was \u2018a place where there\u2019s a lot of water\u2019 - although its state, Washington, is also experiencing a major drought. Without going into specifics, Mr Shatner added he would need a \u2018large, four-foot pipeline\u2019 above ground to keep enough water flowing. On his website though, Shatner\u2019s Water, he is letting people suggest other ideas for what to do with the money - if the campaign is successful. If he doesn\u2019t get the funding he requires, Mr Shatner says he will give the money he raises to a politician. However, Kickstarter doesn\u2019t allow campaigners to keep any money if they don\u2019t reach their target, so Mr Shatner may need to use a site such as Indiegogo instead, which does. The funding campaign has not yet launched and cynics have suggested that the proposal was tongue-in-cheek, or may have been a joke. On Twitter, Mr Shatner responded to some of these comments by posting: \u2018I know I need experts and @algore and @elonmusk should be asked to weigh in and join the conversation,\u2019 he said. And responding to complaints that Washington was also experiencing a severe drought, he said: \u2018I think [Washington] folks are thinking I\u2019m coming in with football field sized sponges in the middle", "summary": "Mr Shatner revealed his radical proposal in an interview with Yahoo News .

Today, Germanwings flight 4U814 to Venice was diverted to Stuttgart as the Airbus A319 aircraft appeared to be losing oil, the airline said in a statement. The flight, which had 123 passengers and five crew members on board, took off from Cologne at 9.55am local time. Germanwings, a budget unit of German airline Lufthansa , has been in the spotlight after one of its planes crashed into a mountain in the French Alps last week, killing everyone on board. Scroll down for video . Germanwings said a passenger and a flight attendant suffered 'an acute feeling of sickness' The carrier said the pilots shut off one of the aircraft's engines and headed for Stuttgart when the problem was detected. 'This is a standard safety procedure. It was not an emergency landing,' it said, adding the aircraft was being examined by technicians. Yesterday, another Germanwings plane was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Venice after a passenger and a flight attendant fell ill during the flight, the budget carrier says. A statement issued by the Cologne-based airline said the pair required medical treatment for 'an acute feeling of sickness', disputing reports that the twin-engine plane landed after a nervous passenger suffered a panic attack. The unscheduled stop occurred less than two weeks after a Germanwings plane crashed into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board. In yesterday's incident, an Airbus A319 was carrying 145 passengers and five crew members from Hanover, Germany to Rome when it diverted to Venice. Flight 4U3882 was nearing the conclusion of its one hour and 40 minute journey when it turned around north-east of Bologna and landed at Venice Marco Polo Airport. The Airbus A319 turned around north-east of Bologna and landed at Venice Marco Polo Airport . Passenger Eugenio Bartolini, a schoolteacher from Rome, told Italian newspaper Il Messaggero that a woman seated in the row behind him was assessed by medics because she had 'a fear of flying' and was 'apprehensive'. He said the plane departed 10 minutes behind schedule, but nothing was out of the ordinary until it flew over the Alps, turned around and began to descend. Passengers didn't know what was happening until they landed in Venice and the captain made an announcement over the tannoy. Mr Bartolini, as quoted by The Local, told Il Messaggero: 'The captain, speaking in English, told us that two people, a member of the crew and a passenger, had been taken ill and that was why he had decided to stop at Venice.' Passengers disembarked and waited inside the terminal while the ill passenger and flight attendant were checked over. Germanwings told MailOnline Travel that the flight attendant was unable to reboard, so a replacement aircraft with an additional crew member had to be flown to Venice to pick up the passengers. Once the plane arrived they continued their journey to Rome,", "summary": "Germanwings flight 4U3882 was flying from Hanover, Germany to Rome .

None-the-less, midfielder Tom Cairney didn't come away from the game empty handed and grabbed Yaya Toure's shirt at the end, which takes pride of place framed in his living room. 'I don't know what he did with mine, I think he needed something to clean his car with!'

It does not suit Cairney, 24, who is a ball-playing central midfielder with a sweet left foot.

One might expect him, then, to be incredulous that Liverpool's Raheem Sterling is turning down contracts worth \u00a3100,000-per-week but Cairney feels sympathy instead.

A violent thug who ended a soldier's career with one punch because he wasn't given a cigarette has been jailed for seven years. Lance Corporal Albert Duffy had survived bomb blasts during a glittering military career which saw him complete three tours of war-ravaged Afghanistan. But after returning home to the UK, he was attacked at a bus stop by drink and drug-crazed Keith Anderson and left with severe brain damage. Just minutes before the attack, Anderson had punched another man, injuring him and leaving him incapable of work for a month. The 28-year-old thug 'bounced around, triumphantly like a boxer' after the assaults, a court heard this week. A judge was told the soldier had high hopes of progressing through the ranks, but is now unlikely to return to the military. Jailing Anderson for seven years at Teesside Crown Court this week, Recorder Patrick Palmer said: 'Albert Duffy was enjoying his career in the army. 'He was doing his bit for the United Kingdom and served abroad and served in combat and it seems highly unlikely he will return to his career. Your one punch destroyed that.' The court heard Anderson first attacked Adam Crosby at a bus stop in Hartlepool town centre on July 26 last year. He was angered that he only offered him the remainder of the cigarette he was smoking.

A new book has now archived the changing face of Italian fashion, from the post-war years to the 21st century. Italian Glamour: The Essence of Italian Fashion, From the Postwar Years to the Present Day, captures the evolution of Mediterranean style through 300 iconic dresses and archived images. Model Joan Olsen (left) shows off bold linear prints in an outfit by haute couture designer/artist Livio de Simone in 1954. Co-author Enrico says that Italian glamour is not 'sophisticated or artificial' The book was compiled by Enrico Quinto and Paolo Tinarelli - the two men who were the first to introduce the concept of vintage style in Italy . The volume has been compiled by Enrico Quinto, 51, and Paolo Tinarelli, 49. The two men established the first flea market in Rome and were the first to introduce the concept of vintage in Italy. Enrico revealed that they wanted to honour the Italian designers who have helped to make the country a fashion powerhouse. He said: 'The pioneers that have really put Italy on the map of international fashion have been Emilio Pucci in the Fifties, Missoni and Krizia in the Sixties, Giorgio Armani and Gianni Versace in the Seventies and Eighties, and Dolce & Gabbana, Prada and Gucci in the Nineties.' Fifties cover girl Ivy Nicholson wears Emilio Pucci in Capri, 1953. The book talks about how the start of many Italian fashion powerhouses started out with a real focus on craftsmanship . The book focuses on the humble beginnings of some of the world's biggest Italian brands and how they rose to cultural significance. It looks at how designers such as Miuccia Prada, Giorgio Armani and Adele Casagrande, founder of Fendi, have created a legacy within their labels. Many Italian powerhouses started out with a focus on craftsmanship, using work methods and decorative traditions that were passed down through generations. Post-war economic development in the fifties saw the expansion of the advertising industry into high fashion. Designers such as Alma Maria Lami constructed clothes that were decorated with a patchwork of ideas and activities . The book also explores momentous periods which truly characterised Italian fashion. For example, post-war economic development in the Fifties saw the expansion of the advertising industry into high fashion. Designers like Alma Maria Lami constructed clothes that were decorated with patchworks of cartoon-like ideas and activities, which subtly influenced buyers.

In the mid-fifties, Emilio Frederico Schuberth created an outfit which had a removable over-skirt so that the wearer could opt for a straight or flared silhouette . Another poignant moment came in the mid-Fifties, where Italian fashion began to break away from what Parisian style dictated.

'Under the varnish, traces of late medieval decoration have been found,' he said.

The modest neighborhood on the outskirts of the state's capital was dotted with brick homes with well-tended yards. Two sport-utility vehicles were parked in the driveway.

Her parents said that Jessica's social media accounts were flooded with horrible sentiments the night before she died, and are now desperate to see a change within Victoria\u2019s Government and the state's police so that those found guilty of cyber bullying face serious consequences. The parents of Jessica Cleland (pictured) are campaigning for anti-bullying laws to be taken more seriously . 'What we would like to see happen is that if someone is cyber bullying somebody and they cause something like this, then they should be held \u00adaccountable for it,' said Jessica's father Michael. On Easter Saturday last year, Jessica told her her mother that she was going for a run. Her sister Amy became concerned after seeing an Instagram photo Jessica uploaded with the caption 'I love this place and I am never going to leave'. Jessica's father found her body on the Sunday in the same place where the photo had been taken. The Cleland's said that Jessica was a vibrant and and outgoing girl, who was looking forward to her gap year and had never exhibited symptoms of depression or mental illness before the two former friends began bullying her online. Coroner Jacqui Hawkins said in the report she released in October that Jessica's death highlighted the impact that social media could have on the lives on young people, and that both Facebook and text messaging was 'problematic' for the teenager. 'Easy access to the internet on her phone meant that she was exposed to potentially upsetting communications 24 hours a day; and she was able to return to, and re-read, the upsetting messages at a later time and therefore appears to have continued to ruminate about them,' the coroners report said. 'Although it is not possible to identify, with any degree of certainty, the factors contributing to a person's decision to take their own life, it is evident that messages received by Jessica online proximate to her death...were precipitating factors,' reported The ABC.

Victoria already has anti-bullying legislation known as Brodie's Law, which was introduced in 2011 after the death of Brodie Panlock, who committed suicide after being subject to relentless bullying in her workplace.

The poll offers Cameron hope that more Ukip supporters may be provoked into returning to the Tories as a result of the Sturgeon threat. The dip in Miliband\u2019s popularity appears to reflect the belief that if he relied on Sturgeon to get his legislation approved by Parliament, she would hold the whip hand \u2013 even though her party would have only a fraction of the number of Labour MPs. More than half of those polled think Sturgeon would have the upper hand over Miliband, with fewer than three in ten saying the Labour leader would call the shots.

Normally, the graceful birds have a pink hue caused by the levels of beto-Carotene in their diet. Scroll down for video .

'We are expecting a lot of visitors over the next few days.' A black flamingo was reportedly last spotted in Israel in 2014 and aside from its colour, it is no different to the hundreds of pink flamingos which flock to the salt lakes of Cyprus every spring. Experts believe a rare genetic irregularity known as \"melanism\" can generate more melanin than usual, turning a flamingo's feathers a dark colour. Migrating: The bird looked very healthy despite its unusual hue and is believed to be heading to Turkey to breed . Martin Hellicar of the conservation group BirdLife Cyprus said the black-coloured flamingo was not unique, though acknowledged they were uncommon in the Mediterranean.

+{"article": "Researchers sketching out a 'wiring diagram' for rat brains have discovered its structure is organized like the Internet. They say the animal's cerebral cortex is 'like a mini-Internet'. The first comprehensive picture of how neurons connect to one another found local networks of neurons layered like the shells in a Russian nesting doll. The Internet has countless local area networks that then connect with larger, regional networks and ultimately with the backbone of the Internet. The brain operates in a similar way, the researchers found. 'The cerebral cortex is like a mini-Internet,' said Larry Swanson, professor at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, and corresponding author of a paper on the discovery. 'The Internet has countless local area networks that then connect with larger, regional networks and ultimately with the backbone of the Internet. 'The brain operates in a similar way.' The study was published on April 6 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For years, scientists looking for clues to brain function through its structure focused on what could be seen \u2014 the brain's lobes, grooves and folds. Two local networks \u2014 one governing vision and learning, and another tapped into bodily concerns like muscle and organ function \u2014 make up the inner shell of the rat's cerebral cortex. Two others \u2014 one governing smell, and another that assembles and makes sense of the information from the other three networks \u2014 make up the outer shell. This means that certain flows of information are genetically 'hardwired' into the brain, Swanson said. The discovery is the result of a massive, labor-intensive effort to organize 40 years' worth of data from peer-reviewed research articles detailing connections in rat brains. 'The data was already out there; it just needed to be compiled into a more useful format,' Swanson said. Lead author Mihail Bota of USC Dornsife created the database from more than 16,000 reports of connections, which he weighted both on the strength of the connection and the reliability of the methodology used to discover it. The process took more than 4,000 hours to complete, yielding a database that is free and available. Olaf Sporns of Indiana University subsequently performed a network analysis of the connections. A color-coded flat map of 1,923 rat cortical association macroconnections (RCAMs). The team used studies of rat brains because of the sheer volume of detailed information available. Swanson believes that the database can create an important link between human brain studies \u2014 which are largely done as non-invasive functional magnetic resonance imaging scans \u2014 and rat brain studies, which can be more in-depth. 'Having a wiring diagram for the brain will allow knowledge to flow both ways between human and animal studies,' Swanson said. 'This allows us to take theories from human brain scan studies and experimentally verify them in animals, and discoveries made in animal studies are likely to have an analogue in humans.'

The Labour leader announced plans to overhaul Britain's non-domicile regime, which allows 116,000 foreigners and people with foreign links to pay tax only on money that they bring into Britain. Mr Miliband initially suggested he would 'abolish' non-dom status \u2013 but it later emerged that Labour is effectively proposing a time limit on it of between two and five years. Scroll down for video . Crowd-pleaser? Ed Miliband joins crowds in Warwick yesterday, where he announced his non-dom plans . The Tories pointed out that a five-year grace period would exempt up to six in every ten non-doms from the crackdown anyway, because many non-doms do not stay longer than five years. Announcing the policy, Labour aides suggested the change in the rules, which date back to the 18th century, would raise as much as \u00a31billion. But tax advisers immediately disputed this, saying driving non-doms away would in fact cost the Treasury significant sums. With non-doms paying around \u00a38billion in tax and national insurance a year, it is claimed that Labour's proposal could in fact create a huge hole in Treasury coffers. Within hours of announcing the policy, Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls was forced to admit he did not actually know how much extra cash the measure would raise. In a further embarrassment, it later emerged that just three months ago he himself had said such a move would be counter-productive \u2013 saying it would result in the country losing money. In a video that emerged yesterday, Mr Balls can be seen telling a local BBC radio station that abolishing the status altogether 'will probably end up costing Britain money because some people will leave the country'. Despite this, the surprise move by Labour wrongfooted the Conservatives, who took several hours to craft a coherent response. The issue of non-doms is a sensitive one for the Tories, because Mr Miliband has claimed David Cameron is close to 'dodgy donors', including non-doms, who support the party. Labour has repeatedly attempted to characterise the Tories as friends of the rich \u2013 despite official figures showing the best-off are paying more tax than they did under the last Labour government. Last night, sources close to Chancellor George Osborne indicated he would consider scrapping the right to pass on non-dom status to heirs. Last year, Mr Osborne announced a new \u00a390,000 annual charge for people who are non-domiciled in the UK for tax purposes but have lived here for 17 of the past 20 years. Tory officials said it was more effective to hit non-doms with an annual levy than to 'tinker' with the status. The Chancellor said: 'Labour's policy is a total shambles. You have Ed Balls admitting it will cost Britain money and then when you look at the small print it turns out the majority of non-doms won't be affected.'

It said passengers were kept informed throughout, helped with onward travel arrangements affected by the delay, and given access to a complimentary bar. One stricken passenger sent a text to a relative telling him: 'Can't believe we're stuck in Lisbon, Portugal. 'Our ship has been impounded due to an historical incident which basically means an unpaid debt.' The Madeira-registered 16,144-tonne, 525ft-long MV Azores was built in 1946. It has eight passenger decks and room for 550 passengers in its 227 cabins. Prices for the cruise range from \u00a3779 per person for a standard twin inner-cabin, to \u00a34,159 per person for the owner's suite with an ocean view. The average price for the majority of cabins is priced at \u00a31,500 per person.

Posters promoting a 'straight pride' week were removed from campus after student leaders said that they went 'way further than a free speech issue' They encouraged students to 'go about your day without telling everyone about how 'different' you are', according to WKBN. The anonymously posted flyers encouraged students to celebrate 'by not annoying the s*** out of everyone about your sexual orientation'.

'There were swear words and took it a little further than the average free speech should go.' Student Government vice president Jacob Schriner-Biggs agreed with Slavens.

Her family in Kuala Lumpur has given MailOnline permission to publish the picture . The investigators searched for body parts and debris at a location that was previously considered unsafe . The finds came several days after MailOnline revealed how possibly key evidence and personal possessions were left lying in fields so long after a crash which shocked the world. MailOnline also found a charred passport of a Malaysian mother killed in the horror. Relatives of Mabel Anthonysamy Soosai, 45, whose husband and son were also killed, called for urgent action to clear the site, return items to bereaved families and bring those responsible for the carnage to justice. 'It broke my heart to see the picture, her passport still in the debris of the plane,' said her brother Clement, 47, in Kuala Lumpur. 'But thank you so much for finding it and telling us about it.' Also spotted at the site by MailOnline were a bracelet made of beads, a pair of sunglasses, ripped clothing and random pages from guidebooks in a reminder that many of the murdered passengers were heading to Kuala Lumpur on holiday. Investigators have renewed their search for body parts and debris in eastern Ukraine this week . A vehicle carries away debris from the site of the plane crash near the village of Grabove, in self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic . Many small parts from the plane - such as controllers for the in-flight entertainment systems - were visible among MH17's burned remains. Investigators say they were prevented from working properly in the locations where MH17 hit the ground due to fierce fighting between pro-Moscow rebels and Ukrainian military forces. The new finds of human remains were collected this week by the Dutch - working with Malaysian, Australian and Ukrainian colleagues - at a site previously inaccessible to the investigators, it was revealed. Head of the Dutch recovery mission Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg said: 'More remains have been found in both parts of the so-called \"burn sites.\"' Jean Fransman, spokesman for the Dutch Department of Justice, added: 'The mission was again able to recover human remains and personal effects at two sites.' A statement said that 'personal effects were given to the members of the mission by the local population - it was jewellery'.

The National Union of Teachers has called for a \u2018positive portrayal of same sex relationships\u2019 in lessons to be made \u2018compulsory\u2019 under the next government. It said MPs had a duty to tackle \u2018homophobia, biphobia and transphobia\u2019 in schools and create a \u2018positive climate of understanding about sexuality\u2019.

Meanwhile, Christian groups warned it would compel teachers at faith schools to act against their beliefs. However, the union said the changes were needed to tackle prejudice which was \u2018still strongly prevalent in our schools\u2019. Simon Calvert of the Christian Institute said: \u2018This motion is itself an act of intolerance towards mainstream Christians and their beliefs. It would force Christian teachers to have to choose between their faith and their job. \u2018I wonder whether Christian members of the NUT who have paid their dues can expect any help from the NUT when their jobs are on the line.\u2019 He added that Church schools already teach \u2018love and tolerance\u2019 of others without having to explicitly approve of same sex relationships. The proposal was contained in a motion on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights passed by the NUT at its annual conference in Harrogate yesterday. It stated: \u2018Conference instructs the executive to call upon the present and future government to \u2026 make it compulsory that all schools\u2019 sex education policies include a positive portrayal of same sex relationships.\u2019 The NUT said only 10 per cent of LGBT teachers felt confident to be \u2018out\u2019 to students. Other proposals included promoting LGBT History Month \u2013 which celebrates gay and transgender rights movements \u2013 in every school. The motion also advocated supporting transgender students and staff \u2018while transitioning and after\u2019.

Loeb has filed a lawsuit in California in a bid to prevent the Modern Family actress from destroying two cryopreserved female embryos created through IVF, according to InTouch. Vergara\u2019s representatives declined to comment on the allegations when contacted by DailyMail.com on Wednesday. Court documents, filed under pseudonyms Jane and John Doe, detail how the couple fertilized embryos using her eggs and his sperm six months before their split in November 2013. Scroll down for video . Legal fight: A magazine claims Nick Loeb has filed a lawsuit against his ex-fiancee Sofia Vergara in a bid to prevent her from destroying two cryopreserved female embryos created through IVF, pictured here in 2011 . Loeb, 39, is seeking to ensure the female embryos are not destroyed, but Vergara has refused to 'agree to their preservation under all circumstances,' according to the legal papers. The lawsuit was first filed in August 2014 before it was refiled again on April 1 with updated information and after Loeb sought new legal representation. Another claim in the documents is that, previously, the pair twice had eggs implanted in a surrogate, but the procedure failed. Elsewhere in the lawsuit, it is claimed 42-year-old actress Vergara - who got engaged to True Blood hunk Joe Manganiello on Christmas Day after six months of dating - was 'physically and mentally abusive' to Loeb. Wrangle: The lawsuit has been filed under the pseudonyms John and Jane Doe . No directive: Ultimately, the outcome will be at the discretion of a judge, but it would be unlikely that Loeb would be able to use the embryos without Sofia's consent, according to a legal expert who spoke to InTouch . The documents state: 'She punched him in the face on two occasions, kicked him, and threw her phone at his head. She also routinely bullied him, calling him a \"loser,\" \"worthless\" and other degrading names.' In April 2013 Vergara - who has a 23-year-old son Manolo from her first marriage - spoke publicly about having frozen her eggs and her desire to have more children. She revealed that she and Loeb - who she dated on-off for almost four years - planned to use a surrogate on the account that she had thyroid cancer in 2000 and, as a result, had a lot of radiation. Complicated matter: In this page of the document it states Sofia and Nick were planning on using a gestational surrogate in 2012 to start a family and that Sofia had insisted on using a 44-year-old friend and emloyee . Arduous process: After the first two embryos failed to implant in the first surrogate the couple looked for another suitable candidate .

These so-called 'trolls' have even been known to cause mental distress to their victims. But now a team of researchers has studied millions of such online posts to identify common traits among these users. And it has built an algorithm that can recognise a potential troll with an accuracy of 80 per cent by scanning their comments. Experts studied 40 million posts by 1.7 millions users on news site CNN.com, political news site Breitbart.com and gaming site IGN.com. The researchers then divided users into those most likely to be banned, called Future-Banned Users (FBUs), and other users dubbed Never-Banned Users (NBUs) The research was carried out by PhD students from Stanford and Cornell University, led by Justin Chang, in a paper called Antisocial Behavior in Online Discussion Communities. The team examined three large online forums including general news site CNN.com, Breitbart.com, a political news site, and computer gaming site IGN.com. Within these communities members that repeatedly violate community guidelines can be banned, either temporarily or permanently. Over an 18-month period, the team studied the content and deletion rates of 40 million posts and 100 million votes posted by 1.7 million users across these sites. From this data they were able to divide users into two groups. Posts made by antisocial web users, or trolls, are less readable in terms of language and coherency. Trolls are more likely to veer off-topic and have fewer similarities in terms of language and content compared to posts by other users. Trolls are also less likely to use positive words than other users, they swear more, and use less tentative or conciliatory language such as 'could', 'perhaps', or 'consider'. In terms of activity, the study found that trolls make more comments each day, and post more times on each thread. They purposefully try to create discussions, or actively respond to an on-going discussion. Trolls were also more likely to have had posts deleted than other users and over the 18 month study period, the number of deleted posts by FBUs increased. People who, over the course of the study, were subsequently banned from the sites, or were likely to be, were classified as Future-Banned Users (FBUs). Users who weren't banned during the study, and didn't exhibit signs that suggested they would be in the future, were known as Never-Banned Users (NBUs). Once these users were split up the researchers looked at four features to identify common traits among the FBUs and NBUs. The first was called 'Post features' and included studying the content of a post. 'Activity features' included how often a user posted in the forum, while 'Community features' looked at votes on individual posts that suggest a person or opinion's popularity. Lastly, 'Moderator features' looked at how many posts had been moderated or deleted.

Resignation: Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Bishop Robert Finn who pleaded guilty to failing to report a suspected priestly child abuser . Action: Children's rights advocates are urging Pope Francis to do much more to deal with clergy who become embroiled in child sex scandals. Finn, who leads the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph in Missouri, got into trouble after he waited six months before notifying police about the Reverand Shawn Ratigan. Ratigan had a computer containing hundreds of lewd photos of young girls taken in and around churches where he worked. He was eventually sentenced to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges. Finn pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failure to report suspected abuse and was sentenced to two years' probation in 2012. It has made him the highest-ranking church official in the U.S. to be convicted of failing to take action in response to abuse allegations. Since then, he has faced constant pressure from local Roman Catholics to step down, with some parishioners petitioning Francis to remove him from the diocese.

+{"article": "A breakthrough has been made in the development of clean hydrogen power, scientists claim. At the moment, while hydrogen fuel is appealing, the production of hydrogen is incredible difficult - requiring huge amounts of energy. But the researchers say they have made a new material that can generate hydrogen from water, meaning it is less reliant on fossil fuels. Hydrogen-fuel is appealing for use in cars like the Vauxhall Zafira minivan pictured, but producing hydrogen requires huge amounts of energy. With the new breakthrough, it could be possible to make it more easily . Researchers at the University of Bath and Yale University created the invention. It uses a newly designed molecular catalyst to split water in an electrolyser and create clean and storable hydrogen fuel. Lead research Dr Ulrich Hintermair told MailOnline that the main problem with the production of hydrogen through a process known as water electrolysis was the waste oxygen it produces. Water splitting is an electro-chemical process in which two electrodes generate oxygen and hydrogen from water, respectively. The energy required to drive this process gets locked up in the hydrogen as the fuel with oxygen as a by-product. A fuel cell can then harness the energy again elsewhere by recombining the two. The new patented catalyst is more efficient at performing the crucial oxidation half of the reaction than any other existing material, minimising energy losses in the electricity-to-hydrogen conversion process. It can be directly applied to various electrode surfaces in a straightforward and highly economical manner. The process splits water into hydrogen and oxygen but, while the first part can be done quite efficiently, the latter was more difficult and lots of energy is lost. With this in mind the team designed a catalyst - a substance that alters the speed of the chemical reaction - to improve the efficiency. \u2018Oxygen is the most difficult bit,\u2019 Dr Hintermair explained. Their catalyst, placed on an electrode used in the production of hydrogen, is much more efficient - and although Dr Hintermair didn\u2019t have an exact figure, he said the energy loss using it is \u2018almost non-existent\u2019. The major benefit from this breakthrough is that hydrogen could now be used more easily as a way to store energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. \u2018We can make electricity out of sunlight and wind, low carbon renewable sources, but we can\u2019t store it very well,\u2019 Dr Hintermair continued. \u2018We can put it in a battery but you can\u2019t, for example, fly an airplane on a battery yet. \u2018So we need to convert it into a chemical fuel, and for that water electrolysis is a key technology because we can take any renewable technology, connect it to an electrolyster and store it in hydrogen, which is a fantastic fuel.\u2019 This, for example, would make hydrogen fuel cells for cars much more economical.

Fans group AshleyOut.com are now encouraging supporters to \u2018Stand Up To Ashley\u2019 when Swansea visit St James\u2019 Park on Saturday. This will involve a 34th-minute protest in recognition of the \u00a334million which was last week revealed to be sitting in the club\u2019s bank. Newcastle interim manager John Carver has called for unity at the club following a divisive season . Carver has said he is not afraid about giving his honest opinion on events at St James' Park . And Carver said: \u2018We have to find a way of dealing with it and managing the situation because it can only hurt us \u2013 that is the fans and the club. \u2018We need to find a solution. I don\u2019t know what that is and I haven\u2019t had talks about it, but if I get asked my opinion then I would give an honest answer. \u2018It would be fantastic (if this was resolved ahead of next season). From day one it would be better. That is what we need to do.\u2019 Carver, meanwhile, says his players were affected by the protest during the 3-1 loss against Spurs. \u2018When I came away from the game I thought about it and the people who were in the stadium weren\u2019t quite sure how to react. Some of them were annoyed that people had stayed away, others were delighted. It was strange,\u2019 he said. \u2018When it all kicked off last year you knew where you stood. This wasn\u2019t a nice situation to be in, it was uncomfortable. \u2018There was a lot of apprehension around the place on Sunday. I hear there was anger with each other and people falling out with each other in the stands. That cannot help, surely not. \u2018I thought it didn\u2019t affect us during the game, but on reflection I think it did.\u2019 Carver \u2013 who is likely to be replaced by Steve McClaren in the summer - says he has not been told if he will still have a role at the club next season. Newcastle United fans have planned a mass protest against owner Mike Ashley on Saturday afternoon . At least 10,000 supporters stayed away from St James' Park for the club's last home game against Spurs . However, he hopes that the club make a swift announcement on the future of the managerial position. \u2018That would be for everyone\u2019s benefit,\u2019 said Carver when asked if the week after the season\u2019s end was the best time to resolve the current uncertainty. \u2018The fans, myself, everyone could enjoy their summer. I think it will be (sorted quickly) because don\u2019t forget the window opens very soon after the season finishes.

Only a year before, he had walked her down the aisle to give her away to her husband, Malcolm Webster, from Surrey, then aged 33, who seemed equally bereft at the loss of his wife. Peter, from Gillingham, Kent, believed Claire had died in a tragic accident that happened in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1994. Scroll down for video . Peter Morris, left, was devastated when his sister, Claire, pictured right on her hen do, died in a car crash . It took two decades for the truth to be revealed - Claire had in fact been murdered by Webster so he could cash in on her life insurance. Webster had drugged his wife at their home in the Scottish village of Tarves, where they had settled after their wedding, before taking her for a drive. He then deliberately crashed their car and, after making his own escape, set it on fire so Claire had no hope of survival. Last year Claire's story was turned into an ITV drama starring Sheridan Smith. And now Peter has gone in front of the cameras to talk about his grief and to reveal the shocking detail of his sister's death, which he is still coming to terms with 21 years later. 'The fire brigade said it was the most intense fire they had ever seen from a mile away, the flames were leaping 20, 30 feet, it was just ridiculous,' Peter reveals on the latest episode of Britain's Darkest Taboos. 'A very brave fireman tried to retrieve what was left of Claire. There wasn't much left of her, poor love.' Peter said he was shocked and heartbroken when he was told his sister, a qualified nurse, had lost her life in just terrible circumstances.

He had no reason to suspect Webster, who Claire had met at a party, had drugged and then burned her alive. Claire had been besotted with him and was delighted when they tied the knot in 1993. Peter recalls: 'He seemed like the perfect gentleman which is exactly what she would have wanted. He was a sort of Colin Firth type character.' He said he and Webster consoled one another at the funeral and Peter believed he was suffering just as much as he was. 'He didn't say a lot at the funeral, he appeared to be in a complete state of shock as well,' he said. 'We were all standing round the graveside, in my right hand I was holding on to Malcolm's left hand. 'I was in floods of tears, and I looked at Malcolm, and he, he was also in floods of tears. And that more than anything else convinced me that it had been a genuine accident.'
